Shopkeeper Li personally went to the kitchen to inspect how the dishes were coming along. Since he could see that Li Yao was busy, he turned to Li Erniang and asked, “Is it all done?”

Li Erniang replied, “I’m on the last dish. What are the customers saying?”

Shopkeeper Li chuckled, “Heir-Son Lord is waiting until all of Li Yao’s dishes are completely served before giving a toast.”

“Well, this is done so he doesn’t have to wait any longer.”

Shopkeeper Li nodded, pleased.

The last dish, Liyue Longmen, was taken out from the pot and Manager Li frowned as soon as he saw it. He dubiously asked, “Why is Liyue Longmen made like this?”

It was a dish passed on from the northern part of the country. The main ingredient should have been a big red carp, but instead, shrimp was used here. Shrimp meat and minced pork were kneaded together and wrapped in a potato flour bun with two pieces of radish placed on both sides of the body and on its back to serve as the fins. The eyes were two green peas, and the shrimp tail was naturally curled, making it look like there were little goldfishes swimming towards the shrimp from all directions. In the middle of the plate was a blooming peony rolled from thinly sliced radish, giving the dish an aesthetically pleasing look.

Yes, it looked good, but it was completely different from what the customers were expecting. Shopkeeper Li wondered worriedly how it would be received.

Ye Jiayao laughed and said, “New chef, new cooking style. Tonight’s banquet already has three dishes of fish, another one would be too much.”

She didn’t know how this person picked his dishes. Three dishes of fish were already too many, and this uncultured man picked four. It might as well have been a fish banquet.

Helian Jing kept count of the dishes. Including the cold dishes, there were already 25. Were there any more to come?

“Waiter, bring me the menu,” Helian Jing ordered.

Zhao Qixuan quickly said, “Bring us the menu, waiter. Let Young Royal Highness Jing order a few more.”

Helian Jing rolled his eyes. You stupid, homosexual man. I just want to see how many dishes you ordered and if there are any more coming.

The waiter obeyed readily and quickly handed him the menu.

“I don’t want to order any more food. Bring us a list of what we ordered!” said Helian Jing impatiently.

Just as the waiter was about to say something, a dish arrived.

“Liyue Longmen. All your dishes are served, sirs, please enjoy.”

Helian Jing turned around and saw the face that he had been thinking about his every waking moment. He saw the face that had been tormenting him for many days.

Big Yaoyao.

It’s Big Yaoyao.

Ye Jiayao also saw him and her eyes widened.

Helian Jing stared at Big Yaoyao in a daze, smiling so bright his dimples dug deep in his cheeks. His heart suddenly started beating so fast and so hard it felt like there were a thousand horses galloping in his chest.

How could he be this lucky?

Before the dishes were served, Ye Jiayao had asked the waiters who were present at the feast. The waiters neglected to tell her that Little Jingjing was here.
