Helpless

Restaurant Jixian… Gu Chaoyan knew what it was. It was the restaurant that did not allow them to open Yellow Crane when it was opened.1

It was County Princess Anxi's property.

Gu Chaoyan was aware that Restaurant Jixian was doing well because it had a strong supporter, but they also did not allow any other restaurant to be opened here, so Restaurant Jixian had to be the only choice for anyone who would like to eat something.

Unexpectedly, there was branded wine at the Restaurant Jixian.

Judging from what Manager Song said, the liquor of that restaurant seemed very popular too.

That surprised her.

Manager Song started to tell the story because of the great liquor. "Oh yes, the branded liquor is Pear Flower Brewery, and it has a history of over hundreds of years. It is made with a secretive receipt created by the husband of the Elder Princess. But her husband passed away years ago, and the brewery was shut down, so all the wine was transported to Restaurant Jixian and that is how the branded liquor was established there."

"…"

"The reason why many guests like eating there is because they love that liquor."

"…"

"Otherwise Restaurant Jixian would never get popular." Manager Song sounded quite serious about the Pear Flower Brewery made by Restaurant Jixian.

However, soon Manager Song changed his tone and said as he looked at the jug. "But Lady Chaoyan, now we have this wine with us, and we are soon going to bring down the Pear Flower Brewery."

Manager Song got very excited as he thought about this. They were not only going to have branded hot-pot but also branded liquor!

"Who made the wine, Lady Chaoyan? We have to hire him or her at any cost!" Manager Song said with a resolute tone.

Well, hiring him or her?

Gu Chaoyan pointed at herself and said, "I did it."

What? Manager Song looked very surprised.

"I made it myself. I will bring the liquor here to Yellow Crane when I am done with the brewing. But we don't have endless liquor. We have little yet it is excellent, and we have a limited daily supply. The early birds catch the worm, and the late ones have to wait until tomorrow." Gu Chaoyan said.

Manager Song had to think about this thoroughly. He thought that it was a great way to deal with the matter. The more precious the thing was, the more cherished it would be.

"Alright, we will do as Lady Chaoyan said." Manager Song agreed.

The two of them had a discussion over how much wine should be served daily so vividly that they forgot about Zhou Huaijin.

When the discussion was done a long time had passed.

Gu Chaoyan thought about preparing some more wine, so she decided to not stay at Yellow Crane any more.

Zhou Huaijin's face sank. He was going to remember Manager Song for this.

Manager Song, who had been busy working at the kitchen, had no idea what to do.

As they came back to the Gu Mansion, Gu Chaoyan did not linger any more but jumped off the wagon and hurried away.

Zhou Huaijin looked helpless. Fu Bao did not dare to approach him, fearing that he would be blamed.

However, Gu Chaoyan noticed none of this, but went inside the mansion with happiness.

However, the moment she entered the mansion and took a few steps, she heard some noise rising, as a group of people were blocking her way back to the Qiong Pavilion.

Gu Chaoyan took a look at them. It was Mrs. Gu and her mother's family who were arguing.

Mrs. Gu looked not at all graceful but pointed at Mrs. Jinzhang. "Shame on you! It is already kind of us to let you stay here, but now you are asking us to pay for your son's marriage fees? Don't you dare dream that much!"
