Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chapter 136 - 136 135 Partnership of Three Families

?Chapter 136: Chapter 135: Partnership of Three Families Chapter 136: Chapter 135: Partnership of Three Families As night was falling, the hot pot ingredients were ready. Afu had prepared two types of dipping sauces, one with sesame oil and the other with a dipping sauce. If you were eating a spicy hot pot, you’d use the sesame oil sauce. If it was a plain hot pot, you could use the dipping sauce, as you would when eating thinly sliced mutton.

The smell was irresistible, especially in the cold weather. The kitchen was filled with steam and a delicious aroma that made the men crave it. They sat in the kitchen eating hot pot with bowls in their hands. Some preferred the spicy variety, others preferred the plain one. They were eating and drinking wine at the same time, extremely content. Mrs. Song and Mrs. Huang, on the other hand, were helping the children scoop up vegetables and meat from the plain hot pot, making it a lively meal.

After eating for a while, Yang Mingyuan couldn’t wait to call Afu aside for some tips. Afu talked about the best stove and pot for hot pot, discussed how their ingredients and dishes were not yet complete, what would make it even more delicious if added, as well as some tips for enjoying hot pot and decoration of the restaurant…

Listening to this, Yang Mingyuan was so excited that he was rubbing his hands together, ready to get down to business. He suggested that this should be opened in the Capital City. He thought again and decided to pass on that, as he didn’t have powerful backing, and having something too good might draw unhealthy attention from the powerful, which could provoke trouble. It’s better to start in Dingzhou. Considering the relationship between Afu and the young master of Tang Garden, he believed that the young master would support his restaurant…

When everyone was done eating and Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Huang helped Mrs. Wang tidy up the kitchen, Manager Luo and others were about to leave, but Yang Mingyuan was still excited about their conversation.

Manager Luo didn’t want him to stay too late at someone else’s house to “talk about business”, since Afu was the teacher of the young master, which might harm her reputation. So, he suggested, “It’s so late, why don’t you stay at my place instead of looking for an inn.”

Only then did Yang Mingyuan realize it was already dark outside. He also felt it wouldn’t be polite to keep talking with the young lady in her house, so he agreed to go to Luo’s house, thinking that he would talk with Afu the next afternoon when she was resting.
