Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator

Chapter 121: The Great Doctor Shows His Skill

When Chu Lian finally reached Guilin Restaurant, Manager Qin personally guided her to a private room where the person she was looking for was waiting.

The moment Chu Lian entered the room, she could hear people talking behind the screen placed in front of the entrance.

"Brother Miao, if not for you, we would have had to wait a whole month to eat in this Guilin Restaurant!"

"Oh? This Guilin Restaurant is that popular?"

Brother Miao, you've just arrived here so you wouldn't know about this, but the owner of this Guilin Restaurant is the very, very wise..."

Immediately after, a deep chuckle resounded. "As smart as this owner is, how could they compare to Brother Wang?"

De'an Restaurant's Mr Wang burst out into laughter. "I can't live up to that boast! Honoured Lady Jinyi and I can't be compared on the same level! Her business skill is so much better than mine. Can you guess how long it took for Guilin Restaurant to become this popular in the capital?"

"A month, maybe two? Surely you're not going to tell me that it only took ten days? Old Wang, even if you like to exaggerate your stories, that's just too unbelievable! There's always a certain order to things. When you brought me here, it was obvious to me that this old alleyway isn't a good location for a restaurant."

Mr Wang shook his head and grinned. He lifted one finger for the man sitting across from him, happy that he had finally found something that could shock his old friend. "Hmph, I'm going to tell you. Brother Miao, it only took a single day for this restaurant to become known across the entire capital!"

Great Doctor Miao was in the middle of picking up some pork slices in mashed garlic. When he heard his old friend's words, his eyes almost popped out of his head. "Brother Wang, you're not pulling my leg, are you?"

Mr Wang cast a sideways look at his old friend with sharp eyes. "Hmph, if you don't believe me, you can ask Honoured Lady Jinyi herself when she comes."

"You're saying that the owner of this restaurant will be coming to look for us?"

Mr Wang really didn't know what to do with this innocent, naive old friend of his. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Since his old friend was the only one who could answer Guilin Restaurant's three questions, what did that mean? Those questions had been specially prepared for Great Doctor Miao. They had been put up just to lure this big fish into their net.

Someone had likely reported this news to Honoured Lady Jinyi. In a short moment, he would finally be able to meet the owner of this Guilin Restaurant.

......

Chu Lian took in a deep breath to suppress the excitement in her heart and made sure she had a normal expression in place before stepping around the screen. Once she passed the screen, she could see two men sitting across from each other as they ate and drank.

Chu Lian bobbed in greeting towards the two men before taking a seat at the same table facing the window.

Manager Qin personally guarded the private room from outside. An hour later, Chu Lian brought her maidservants out with her as she exited the room.

Manager Qin fell into step behind her and carefully asked, "Third Young Madam, was it successful?"

Chu Lian had lost control of her emotions; her good cheer was written all over her face. To Manager Qin, she nodded and instructed, "Let Mr Miao stay in Dark Court 1 over the next few days. In seven days, pick someone you trust and bring Mr Miao to the Jing'an Estate."

After she finished giving Manager Qin his orders, she returned to the Jing'an Estate.

The novel was right. Great Doctor Miao was an absolute foodie. With those questions as bait, and after offering up the grape wine she had personally brewed, Great Doctor Miao had come to an agreement with her and agreed to go to the Jing'an Estate in seven days to check Countess Jing'an's illness. However, one of the conditions was that Chu Lian had to personally cook a dish he hadn't tried at Guilin Restaurant.
