Chapter 297 I never dreamed that I could enter the palace and eat such delicious imperial food.
"Miss... Miss, our restaurant is called Haihui Restaurant. Is there anything wrong with that?"
The reason they chose this restaurant was that when they came here in the morning, they saw that it was big enough to accommodate their carriage and provide fodder for the horses.
Once we entered the restaurant, Jinsheng and Yunteng took care of everything.
So, when she came in, she didn't pay attention to the name of the restaurant on the plaque, so she was so excited when she heard the waiter say the name.
Yun Duo suddenly felt out of control and sat down again: "There's nothing wrong with it. I just think the name is a bit similar to Caiyunhui where we went today." Yun Duo further tested.
"Miss, you are talking about Caiyunhui! Everything in there was developed by our boss. Our boss is very powerful."
Ever since Yun Duo heard the name "Haihui", her heart started beating uncontrollably.
When she learned that "Caiyunhui" was developed by the owner of "Haihui Restaurant", she became more excited. She didn't dare to think too deeply about it, but she was very much looking forward to it and really hoped it was what she thought.
"Little Second Brother, is the owner of your restaurant from the capital? He is so capable that he can open a big restaurant in the capital."
Yun Chenxi looked at his sister who was a little confused. He knew his sister very well. She was not an impulsive or nosy person. She was very sensible in doing things and would not pry too much into other people's privacy. She must have some intention for asking this now.
"Yes, young lady, you are really smart. To be honest with you, those who can open restaurants in Beijing are all noble people with distinguished status. The identity of my boss is not something that a waiter like me can know. Please enjoy your meal. I will go down to serve the other guests." Yun Duo thought to herself that this waiter was quite cautious.
"Wait a minute, little brother." Yun Duo stopped the waiter who was about to leave and gave him twenty coins as a reward: "This roast duck is delicious. Little brother, pack two for me. No side dishes are needed."
The waiter received the tip, and the customer ordered roast duck. He hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, young lady. I will ask the kitchen to roast two right away, and they will be just right for you to take away after your meal." They got a commission of five cents for selling roast ducks, and with the roast ducks served in the private room, there were four in total, which was twenty cents. The tip plus the commission was forty cents. The waiter was in a good mood and hurried to prepare.
In the magnificent palace, Yunhai sat at the table, surrounded by Yunxiang, Shiyan and a small table, enjoying the imperial meal given by the Queen Mother.
These sumptuous imperial meals were specially prepared for Yunhai and his grandchildren by order of the Empress Dowager, and even Shiyan got to enjoy them.
At the beginning, the small table stood aside obediently, ready to serve food to everyone.
Yunhai, a modern soul, still didn't like being served like this. He felt that although this child was disabled, he was kind-hearted. He entered the palace to become a eunuch at a young age. Seeing that he was too pitiful, he kindly ordered him to sit down with everyone to eat. The little table was flattered at first, but under Yunhai's insistence, he finally sat down with tears of gratitude.
Yun Xiang and Shi Yan, after just two days of contact, have become friends. When Shi Yan heard that the Queen Mother had given him a royal banquet, he was eager to attend. Yun Hai saw his thoughts and invited Shi Yan to dine together.
The imperial meal given by the Empress Dowager was much better than what they usually ate in the Imperial Hospital. Shi Yan was overjoyed and hurried to thank Yun Hai, then he could not wait to sit at the table.
Yunhai smiled and quietly observed the young man in front of him. Yunxiang was a little shy and reserved, with elegant manners; while Shiyan was cheerful and generous, and full of energy in his conversation. Such a sharp contrast made Yunhai sigh:
"This may be what modern people often call a 'social bull' physique. It seems that I really need to take Yunxiang out more often in the future to train his interpersonal skills. After all, Yunxiang does seem a little too reserved in comparison."
Thinking of this, Yun Hai secretly made up his mind to help the children of the Yun family become more confident and cheerful.
Shi Yan had only known them for less than two days but he already seemed very familiar with them. He followed Yun Xiang in calling him Grandpa: "Grandpa Yun, Ah Xiang, I am lucky to have you guys today. I can enjoy such a sumptuous imperial banquet. I am afraid my grandpa has never tasted it before. When I go back, I will definitely brag to him and make him envious."
Yunhai liked watching these energetic teenagers. He looked lovingly at Shiyan and Yunxiang who were eating with satisfaction: "This is the first time for Grandpa Yun to have this imperial banquet. Come on, Xiaoyan, Xiangge'er, little table, eat more." After saying that, Yunhai used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of food for each of them.
Yun Xiang also said with satisfaction: "Brother Shi, I never dreamed that I could enter the palace and eat such delicious imperial meals."
Yunxiang and Shiyan were enjoying the dishes in their bowls. However, in stark contrast to them was Xiaozhuo who was eating quietly. At this moment, Xiaozhuo's eyes were slightly red, with tears welling up in them.
Xiao Zhuo had also tasted the imperial banquet before. At that time, as a servant in the Empress Dowager's palace, he was fortunate to eat the food that the Empress Dowager gave him after she had left over. The meals that the Empress Dowager had used were the best in the entire palace, and their exquisiteness was even far superior to the meal in front of him today.
However, Xiao Zhuo had never been so happy as he was now, because Doctor Yun treated him completely differently from the others who looked down on him and despised him for being a eunuch.
On the contrary, Doctor Yun not only had no intention of discrimination, but also kindly served him and Yun Xiang and others the same dishes, and did not treat him as a slave. This caring behavior was like a ray of warm sunshine in winter, shining directly into the heart of the little table that had been cold for a long time, making him truly feel unprecedented warmth.
In order to take care of Xiao Zhuo's mood, Yun Hai did not say anything to comfort them, but told them about Xiao Quanzi's condition in a normal way, and also told Shi Yan in detail the precautions required for acupuncture: "Xiao Yan! Xiao Quanzi's condition has stabilized. Grandpa Yun will leave the palace today. From now on, the task of acupuncture for Xiao Quanzi will be handed over to you. After three consecutive days of acupuncture, he should be fine."
Shi Yan excitedly assured: "Grandpa Yun, don't worry, I have memorized your acupuncture method for relieving appendicitis."
Yunhai nodded and looked at the small table: "Little table, take the decoction I prescribed for ten consecutive days. Before taking the medicine each time, add the powder I gave you to the bowl and drink it together."
Xiao Zhuozi nodded gratefully: "Don't worry, Doctor Yun, Xiao Zhuozi has made a note of it. When Xiao Quanzi gets better, let him kowtow to you."
"That's not necessary. I treated Xiao Quanzi on the orders of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. When he gets better, do good things for the Emperor and the Empress Dowager to repay them!"
Yunhai looked at the small table and smiled and said: "In fact, Xiao Quanzi should be most grateful to you as a good friend. If you hadn't risked your life to ask the emperor and the queen mother for help, he would have died of abdominal pain."
Yun Hai said this without lowering his voice, and Xiao Quanzi in the inner room heard it clearly. He was grateful and tears filled his eyes. Doctor Yun was right. If Xiao Zhuozi hadn't knelt down to beg the emperor, he would probably have died. He secretly swore in his heart that he would protect Xiao Zhuozi with his life in the future.
