Chapter 911: petition
Gu Chaoyan said this straightforwardly.
She had nothing to be embarrassed about. Prince Muyi left Yinfeng here to help her, so she could just tell him what to do, if she needed his help.
Also, she liked Yinfeng, who knew how and when to be polite and to behave properly. He was a very careful and considerate man too. That was why she was very willing to ask him to follow her orders directly.
Hearing that he was being appointed to do some tasks, Yinfeng said politely, “Please, Lady Chaoyan, tell me what you need me to do. I will try my best to meet your standard.”
Gu Chaoyan nodded and explained in detail, “You know the capital very well. So please find a store close to the restaurant the Imperial Master opens, and buys it out directly with this amount of money. If the money is not enough, take it as the deposit, and if you fail to find a proper store, then rent one instead.”
“…”
“If you are able to buy a store smoothly, then hire some skillful chefs at whatever cost. When all of this is done, I will tell you everything else in detail.”
Yinfeng was startled.
Buying a store? Hiring chefs? What was Lady Chaoyan planning to do?
It looked like she was opening a restaurant, but… the Imperial Master’s restaurant was so popular and every noble family as well as local rich businessmen would like to pay a visit to it.
If they opened a restaurant next to that one….
“Lady Chaoyan, are you sure this will work? Are we able to produce some branded dishes at our restaurant that would exceed the one run by the Imperial Master?” Yinfeng asked in confusion.
He did not mean to harbor any suspicion. He just hoped that everything they did could be done with more care.
He knew the Feather Mulberry Land and the capital well, so he was offering some advice to Lady Chaoyan.
Gu Chaoyan smiled briefly, then she took a sip of tea.
Well, they would definitely produce some branded dishes that could exceed Hot-Pot, but that was not her plan. She did not think that it was necessary either.
“We are not going to exceed the Imperial Master. We are just going to make some normal dishes for the civilians to eat. Well, the hired chefs will have to be good at making some normal dishes, so we are not exceeding anyone, just producing food dishes that could make everyone want to have a taste of it.”
At this point, not only Yinfeng, but everyone in the room was looking at Gu Chaoyan with a look of confusion.
Sword One, who was aware of how delicious the food from the Yellow Crane tasted and how popular the Yellow Crane was, asked curiously, “Elder Miss, if you plan to open a restaurant close to the Imperial Master, where only ordinary dishes are served, how are we going to exceed the Imperial Master’s restaurant? Ordinary dishes are everywhere, at civilians’ homes and every restaurant too. Why would they be motivated to visit us, and how would we be able to pete with the Imperial Master after all?”
Sword One asked her questions directly.
Yinfeng threw a surprised look at Sword One. He was aware that Sword One was a servant like him, but she was talking so boldly with her Elder Miss and even interrupted her. How could she do that?
Then he glanced back at Gu Chaoyan, and found that Gu Chaoyan reacted with a brief smile.
“Well, if what we serve are just ordinary dishes, then maybe we would not have any customers, but…”
