Chapter 18 The strange old man

After seeing off Young Master Yuan, Chu Yunmeng breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to find the past, she kept spinning like a top. She tried her best to put Yunmengju on the track of rapid development, and step by step she got closer to the people who might help her find out the truth.

Now that critical progress has been made, she doesn't know what to do.

It's like a string that has been tightened for too long and then suddenly loosened, and you can't straighten up anymore, and you don't feel like yourself anymore.

She suddenly wondered if she shouldn't be so attached to the past and make her life so tiring.

After all, it’s not bad to open a small restaurant and live a normal life. In the dream, wouldn’t it be quite comfortable to spend the whole day eating, drinking and traveling around the world?

However, without knowing her past clearly, she always felt like a part of herself was missing. Walking in the world was like walking in darkness. She didn't know when she would be swallowed up by the evil beasts that pounced from nowhere in the darkness.

Her innate sense of danger made her unable to rest assured.

I hope that after finding the missing part, I can return to normal and live an ordinary, happy life.

After sighing, Chu Yunmeng began to inspect the lobby while hiding in the area between the lobby screen and the kitchen.

She hasn't been in the lobby for a long time.

After Yunmengyao held the banquet, the hall was first handed over to Ah Tian and then to A Lin. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the preparation of Yunmengyao and the training of his maidservants.

At this time, looking at the lobby, which although there were not many people, was more popular and more pure than the private room, her heart felt like it had dropped to the ground.

This is the true meaning of food and her original intention of opening a restaurant.

Let food be presented in the most delicious form, maximize the value of food, and satisfy all food lovers.

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a commotion at the gate.

Chu Yunmeng frowned. Yunmengju has banned noise since it opened. Who is causing trouble?

Before he could call Alin in to ask about the situation, an old man with white hair and beard and strange behavior broke into the lobby.

"What are you breaking the rules? Aren't restaurants open just for people to eat, and they limit the number of people to fifteen people a day?! Then just close the doors!"

"Old man, our store has limited manpower, so we hope for your understanding..." A Lin hurriedly followed, stopping the old man from causing trouble: "To avoid disturbing other people, please don't make any noise, sir."

The old man immediately stopped talking and looked at the tables filled with people around him. He folded his hands and stood in the middle of the hall without saying a word, refusing to leave.

Alin had no choice but to walk towards Chu Yunmeng who was behind the screen: "My boss, look at this..."

"Take him quietly to the private room and let Wu Gu prepare some vegetarian dishes for the dine-in meal." After giving the instructions, Chu Yunmeng went to the private room first.

As soon as he sat down in the private room and put on his veil, Alin already led the old man in.

"Old man, please take a seat. I wonder what you call me?" Chu Yunmeng asked with a smile.

"Just call me Laoxu." The old man who called himself Laoxu responded casually.

"This is my newly brewed Lihuabai. You can try it." Chu Yunmeng personally poured a glass of wine for the strange old man.

"I just heard that the old gentleman seems to be dissatisfied with me, Yunmengju? I wonder why the reception was not good enough?"

"You didn't treat me poorly, you treated all the diners in Yingdu poorly." The old man waved his hand.

"All living beings in the world are equal, how can we turn away diners just because they come late?" Lao Xu asked in a serious tone.

"Everyone can come to the restaurant I open, regardless of high or low, rich or poor. However, the capacity of the small restaurant is limited and it cannot take care of all living beings, so I only serve fifteen diners a day. How can you say that I am not entertaining well enough?"

?”

Chu Yunmeng asked back: "Every business has its own rules, and each different shop also has the right to set its own rules. Does Xu Lao want me to stay open day and night so that everyone can eat Yunmengju's food? Then do you want me to

My guys and I all died of exhaustion in the kitchen lobby? How can this be fair to my guys?"

"Then at least we can provide more places..." Lao Xu was choked and couldn't speak. After a long time, he said: "This can benefit more diners."

"Xulao, Yunmengju doesn't have the ability to care for all living beings. The few people in our store are actually trying their best to make a living within their own abilities and make themselves live a better life."

Chu Yunmeng didn't give any face at all: "The number of quotas only affects the morning and evening when everyone comes to Yunmengju to eat. It does not prohibit the entry and exit of specific people. What's more, I have also released a lot of reserved places. If you place a deposit, Yunmeng will

You can still have food delivered to your door, so why don’t you benefit more diners?”

"You...you are using strong words and being unkind for the sake of wealth!" Lao Xu suddenly became angry: "Who doesn't know that your deposit is so expensive that only the rich can afford it..."

"Xu Lao, I make money based on my own craftsmanship and ability, and I don't hinder or bully anyone. How can I be unkind for the sake of wealth?" Chu Yunmeng was angered by this messy old man: "Is it because we have good food and strong abilities?

, do we have to bow to the people of the world and give them free gifts or even meet their needs without restrictions? Yunmengju is incapable of caring for all living beings!"

"The meal this time will be given to Xu Lao. Whether he comes in the future is Xu Lao's business. If you want to care for all living beings, you can find a way on your own. But if you talk nonsense outside because of this, Yunmengju is not a vegetarian."

Chu Yunmeng rolled up his sleeves and left. He had just adjusted his mood a little, but why did he meet such an old scoundrel?

She felt very bad.

On the other hand, after Gongzi Yuan returned from Yunmengju, he quietly sent someone to check the palace entrance and exit conditions in the days before and after the disappearance of the princess's dream. Finally, he found that the master and he left the palace late at night the day before the princess's dream disappeared and did not return all night. And before

One night, Princess Shu also went to Princess Meng's palace and stayed for a long time before leaving.

Secretly investigating the whereabouts of the two before and after that night, they found that for a long time before that night, the two often came in and out of the same place, both in and out of the palace. And the longest route they took was

From the palace to the station near the Beast Forest.

At the same time, Princess Meng's long-missing maid Yao Qin was also found by Prince Yuan from the abandoned cold palace of Chu Palace.

When he first found it, Yao Qin was acting crazy and smelled bad, as if he had been greatly stimulated.

After soothing her for a long time, she gradually calmed down, but it was obvious that she couldn't ask anything.

In desperation, Gongzi Yuan had to secretly keep an eye on the young master and the princess Shu. After staring for a long time, he did not find any movement.

He finally decided to lure the snake out of its hole.
