Eunuch Hai sneered:

"I don't know who set up this restaurant; it's just a cheap publicity stunt."

Don't assume that a restaurant will get business just because it looks nice.

Zhou Wanwan chuckled, and before she could speak, a woman dressed in uniform walked in and began pouring tea for them.

Zhou Wanwan looked at Eunuch Hai and said, "Let's order! Here's the menu."

Eunuch Hai picked up the menu, and to his surprise, it listed the names of the dishes and their prices.

Eunuch Hai frowned and said, "The dishes here are quite expensive. Bring me one of each of your signature dishes, so I can try them out and see what they taste like."

The old eunuch's entourage was indeed extravagant.

There was also a bookshelf in the room. Looking at the bookshelf, Eunuch Hai exclaimed, "Oh, there are books here! This doesn't feel like a place to eat; it's more like home!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said:

Is it possible that this restaurant is designed to make people feel at home?

For those nouveau riche, money is nothing; elegant places like this are more suitable for them.

However, the books in the restaurant are quite good. The food hasn't arrived yet, you can take a look.

Eunuch Hai rolled his eyes and sneered, "What book is so interesting? You're really making a fuss over nothing."

Zhou Wanwan glanced at him and said, "There's a copy of ' Journey to the West ' that you like, but can an old eunuch like you even read it?"

Eunuch Hai was furious. "Zhou Wanwan, do you believe I'll tear your mouth off right now?"

Zhou Wanwan brought her face close to his and said, "Come on, tear it now, tear it right now."

Eunuch Hai was speechless with anger. "Get out of here, don't disturb my reading."

Eunuch Hai took out a copy of "Journey to the West" and began to read it seriously, finding it increasingly fascinating as he read.

I had only read a few pages when the food was served.

The restaurant's signature dishes include: Liuli Baked Lobster, Golden Broth Grouper, Braised Giant Abalone, Fisherman's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Braised Sea Cucumber in Thick Broth, Steamed Tiger Grouper, Roasted Duck, Crispy Pigeon, Braised Venison, Roasted Venison Ribs, Stewed Roe Deer Meat, Braised Wild Rabbit, Soy Sauce Wild Chicken, and Braised Wild Boar with Dried Bamboo Shoots...

Zhou Wanwan licked her lips; she was hungry, so incredibly hungry.

Zhou Wanwan said, "Eunuch Hai, let's eat first, then read. I'm starving!"

Eunuch Hai frowned and said:

"You're such a busybody. Oh, this Journey to the West is really good, the more you watch it, the better it gets, you just can't stop watching."

How could Dongshan Prefecture be such a place?

Zhou Wanwan rolled her eyes and said, "What kind of place do you think Dongshan Prefecture is? Is it a place where people eat each other?"

The Prefect Fang and several county magistrates accompanying him were sweating profusely.

Is it appropriate to talk to Eunuch Hai like that?

Prefect Fang felt his eyes twitching; he was utterly terrified. What if Eunuch Hai got upset and immediately gave Zhou Wanwan the cold shoulder?

Zhou Wanwan, that troublemaker, dares to say anything.

Eunuch Hai put down his book, sat down at the table, and looked at her, saying:

"Hmph, stop with the pretense. I know you all too well. This whole thing is just an act, isn't it?"

Are those refugees starving? Where have you put them?

Zhou Wanwan plopped down in the main seat, too lazy to pay any attention to the old eunuch.

"I'm hungry, if you don't eat, I'll have to!"

The food today looks pretty good! Let me see if this grouper is any good.

What are you all standing there for? Are you going to serve me my meals?

"Sit down, everyone, sit down and try the food at this restaurant."

This is excellent advertising.

This was good for her restaurant's reputation; the rumors outside intensified as soon as they entered.

"Did you know? A new Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion just opened. It hasn't been open long, but even the eunuchs from the capital have gone to eat there and said it's absolutely delicious!"

"That's not all! Have you seen the interior design? It's completely different from other places."

"There are also many books inside, such as Journey to the West, Dream of the Red Chamber, Water Margin, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you name it."

There are also all sorts of storybooks, how interesting!

How could those wealthy businessmen possibly tolerate this?

The group arrived at the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion in a large group, and upon entering the room, they found that Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion was indeed very grand and luxurious.

It's completely different from ordinary restaurants.

The key point is that this isn't just an ordinary restaurant; it also has an inn upstairs.

Not only wealthy businessmen, but also all the prominent figures came.

In no time, Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion was Manman.

Sitting in a private room, sipping juice, and enjoying all kinds of seafood—it was truly delightful.

Eunuch Hai took a sip of the juice, and his eyes immediately lit up. "Why does this taste like watermelon? It's so sweet! What is this?"

Zhou Wanwan glared at him and said, "You country bumpkin, you can't even taste the difference in watermelon juice. Serve your father-in-law a cup of milk tea."

Zheng Xing'an brought over two servings of milk tea. Eunuch Hai took a sip and exclaimed, "Hey! It has a milky aroma and a tea aroma too, tsk tsk tsk... Delicious, really delicious!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Eunuch Hai, this tastes so good! But wait, these things aren't available in the capital."

Eunuch Hai coughed and said, "How could the capital not have them? I usually stay in the palace, so naturally we don't have these there."

Zhou Wanwan smiled helplessly and said:

"So the people in the palace live a pretty hard life, huh?"

Eunuch Hai, what's the point of being a eunuch?

You'd be better off coming with me to Dongshan Prefecture to eat, drink, and have fun.

Look at the pressure you must be under every day, being by Noble Consort Ning's side! And how casually you talk to me, isn't that wonderful?

Eunuch Hai really enjoyed it. Listening to the little tunes and eating all these delicacies, he suddenly felt that the palace was not so interesting.

He sighed and said:

"I'm just a father-in-law, what can I do?"

Even if I wanted to retire from the palace, I would have to wait until I was forty.

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Eunuch Hai, why don't you come with me? You'll have everything you need then! Things will be much easier to handle in the palace!"

Eunuch Hai glared at her and said:

"Zhou Wanwan, you're really bold to say something like that in front of so many people."

"I belong to Noble Consort Ning, how could I possibly become yours? You're dreaming!"

Zhou Wanwan said helplessly:

"It's up to you. If you don't want to come with me, then I don't want to either!"

Anyway, enjoy all the good food, fun activities, and drinks while you can. Once you go to the palace, everything will be gone.

You've made so much money these past few years, but you can't enjoy it. What's the point?

Eunuch Hai sneered, "What do you know? I still have a great grudge to settle!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at Eunuch Hai and said:

"So you've been holding onto the deep-seated hatred for the Feng Clan all this time?"

"Oh dear! Could it be that you've made a mistake in your understanding of the deep-seated grudge between you and the Feng Clan?"

Eunuch Hai was so angry that he stood up abruptly and said:

"I've investigated everything that happened back then thoroughly, how could I be wrong?"

"That little brat is spouting nonsense! Guards, seize her!"
