It turned out that Shang Xiuxun really did love food. She had spent an entire day writing a little booklet that not only listed the delicacies found in various places but also specifically noted which restaurant and which chef made each dish most authentically and deliciously. It was even more detailed than those gourmet guides, and Duanmu Huai was extremely satisfied after reading it.
With this Gourmet Notes booklet, Duanmu Huai no longer needed to wander around like a headless fly. He only had to follow its recommendations.
Shang Xiuxun had also told Duanmu Huai that under normal circumstances, these master chefs would remain in their own establishments and rarely travel. But with the world in turmoil, even those chefs could not escape unscathed. Famous chefs in particular were likely to be captured by the Rebel leaders and forced to cook for them.
But Duanmu Huai did not care about that. As long as he knew they were still alive, whether they were willing to cook for him was not a problem.
Even if some Rebel leader had captured one of them, Duanmu Huai believed that as long as he went to their door and said he wanted a meal prepared by that chef, the Rebel leader should not refuse.
If he dared to refuse, that would be another matter entirely.
Duanmu Huai and Shang Xiuxun discussed it and decided to head to Luoyang first. It was more prosperous there, and major cities like Luoyang and Chang'an were more stable than other places. They also had more famous chefs and restaurants.
After setting the route, Duanmu Huai prepared to take his leave. Shang Xiuxun hesitated slightly before finally speaking.
