Although we experienced the Farce of Fu Dog, in the end, everything was fine, and we arrived at the villa smoothly.

I comfortably soaked with Xu Qingwan in a pool filled with rose petals, took a sip of cool sweetness, and let out a sigh of relief.

"This is life, isn't it?"

Her face turned rosy, and she nodded like a little chick pecking at grains.

"Ayue, what should we do next?"

I lowered my head and pondered for a while before slowly saying:

"Actually, my childhood wish was to open the best restaurant in the capital city, just like my father, becoming rich and free from anyone's constraints. How about you? Do you have any wishes?"

Xu Qingwan shook her head in confusion.

"From childhood to adulthood, I have been learning how to be a good wife and mother, but I really don't have any personal wishes. However, Ayue, my mother is the owner of a medicine shop, so I have also learned some medical knowledge. I don't know if it can be of any help..."

Restaurant, medical knowledge...

In the blink of an eye, an idea arose in my mind.

"How about opening a restaurant with medicinal cuisine as its specialty?"

Although there were many restaurants in the capital city, and some of them served delicious dishes, there were very few that focused on nourishing and promoting health.

In this era of peace and prosperity, people had begun to advocate for health preservation. Who would want to drink bitter traditional Chinese medicine when they could have nutritious and delicious medicinal cuisine?

"I think it's feasible, and we can try to select some affordable medicinal ingredients for the dishes, so that the majority of ordinary people can afford them."

Xu Qingwan and I agreed immediately, and that's how our business started bustling.

We carefully selected a small building in a busy market, two floors, spacious and bright. We also hired several experienced chefs and an old Chinese medicine practitioner to develop a set of recipes.

"We can have customers get their pulses checked in the lobby on the first floor, to determine their constitution and physical condition. While prescribing professional medication, we can recommend suitable medicinal dishes for them."

"In addition to changing the menu according to seasonal ingredients, we can also customize dishes for customers based on their individual needs. If they don't have time to come to the restaurant every day, we can consider delivery."

"Medicinal cuisine should guarantee health benefits, but we also need to pay attention to taste. We should find ways to mask the bitterness of traditional Chinese medicine..."

"Perhaps we should also offer some regular meals without medicinal ingredients, so that customers have the freedom to choose."

With everyone's ideas flowing, our medicinal cuisine restaurant finally opened on an auspicious day.

Its name is Wan Yue Lou, taking a character from both my and Xu Qingwan's names, and it sounds elegant and pleasant when pronounced.

However, unexpectedly, on the first day of opening, there were very few customers.

"Boss, it's not good. I heard some rumors while shopping on the street just now. Everyone is saying that this restaurant was opened by two abandoned women, which is damaging to public morals. No one wants to come here."

I clenched the handkerchief tightly in my hand, with some speculations already forming in my mind.

It must be the Gu family's doing.
