The Road to Becoming a Son-in-Law

Chapter 241 Is it really that delicious?

Chapter 241 Is it really that delicious?

"I haven't been out of the house in ages, my bones are practically broken."

A disheveled man glanced around furtively from the corner before turning to the person behind him and saying, "Alright, young master, this time we're sure the master didn't send anyone to follow us."

The man emerged from the corner, fanning himself with a folding fan, and asked, still somewhat uneasy, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure," the servant said obsequiously. "I've checked several times and I'm sure there's no one else here."

The man breathed a sigh of relief and complained, "I've been staying at home for so long, all I do every day is memorize books and practice martial arts. Hurry up and take me to Moon Peak Tower."

"I've been missing the food at Yuefenglou."

Speaking of Yuefeng Tower, even the servant swallowed hard. To be honest, the food at Yuefeng Tower was really delicious, even better than the chefs in their mansion. Even their young master was so tempted, let alone him.

The servant led his young master toward Yuefeng Tower, but after navigating the familiar route, the two were momentarily stunned. The young master pointed uncertainly at the restaurant in front of him and asked his servant, "Is this Yuefeng Tower?"

"We didn't go the wrong way." The servant looked puzzled and confused, and looked around uncertainly. The shops and vendors were still the same as before, except that the place that should have been Yuefeng Tower was now marked as Xinyue Tower.

"What is this Crescent Moon Pavilion?" The young master, who had thought he would finally get to eat the food he had been craving, asked in a very unpleasant tone.

"Young Master, could it be that a restaurant saw that Yuefeng Tower's business was too booming and decided to acquire it?"

"Let's go in and take a look." The young master led his servants inside, clearly displeased.

Although he hasn't driven it for a long time, everyone on the street knows that Yuefeng Tower is under his protection.

As soon as I entered, I was struck by the beautiful and simple decor of Crescent Moon Tower, and thought to myself: The decor of Crescent Moon Tower is quite nice.

As the young master was walking inside, he saw someone, and the servants quickly grabbed that person, saying, "Boss Murong, we've finally found you."

When Murong Yunhai, who had been pulled back, saw the two people who had grabbed him, his expression turned to surprise and flattery. "Young Master Xu, what brings you here?"

While fanning himself with his folding fan, Young Master Xu said, "I finally managed to escape from home just to have dinner at Yuefeng Tower, only to find that Yuefeng Tower has turned into something like Crescent Moon Tower."

"Boss Murong, tell me the truth, is it possible that someone is jealous of Yuefeng Tower's business and has tried to acquire it?"

"You're under my protection, I'll definitely help you get revenge."

Seeing that Young Master Xu was getting more and more angry, Murong Yunhai quickly said, "Young Master Xu, you misunderstand. It's not that someone maliciously wanted to acquire Yuefeng Tower. It was I who wanted to sell Yuefeng Tower to the boss."

"What?!" Young Master Xu and his servants were stunned. "You're saying you sold Moon Peak Tower on your own initiative?"

It's no wonder they were shocked. After all, Yuefeng Tower's business was booming. As long as it was managed properly and didn't go astray, it would only become more and more prosperous and profitable. But Murong Yunhai actually sold Yuefeng Tower.

“Yes.” Murong Yunhai nodded and explained what had happened to Young Master Xu.

Young Master Xu has been kept at home by his father these days, so it's understandable that he doesn't know these things.

After hearing Murong Yunhai's explanation, Young Master Xu's first reaction was disbelief: "Are you serious? There really is a restaurant that serves food better than Yuefeng Restaurant?"

"That's right, the food at Crescent Moon Pavilion is more than ten times better than the food at Moon Peak Pavilion."

Previously, Murong Yunhai had always thought that the food at Yuefenglou was the best. It wasn't until Chen Feng hired him as the manager of Xinyuelou that he realized what it meant to be outdone by others. He wasn't exaggerating; the food at Xinyuelou was indeed dozens or even more times better than that at Yuefenglou.

Seeing Murong Yunhai's confident demeanor, Young Master Xu began to believe him and said, "Alright, Boss Murong, bring a table of food from New Moon Restaurant."

"As for the dishes, let's stick to the ones I ordered at Yuefenglou before."

"Alright." Murong Yunhai replied with a smile, called over a waiter to lead Young Master Xu and his companion into the private room, and then went to the back kitchen to instruct people to serve the dishes.

Murong Yunhai was so respectful to Young Master Xu because Young Master Xu's family was truly powerful, and when he was the owner of Yuefeng Tower, he had always protected Yuefeng Tower and driven away several groups of troublemakers for Yuefeng Tower.

Originally, Young Master Xu did not believe at all that the food at New Moon Pavilion could be better than that at Moon Peak Pavilion. However, after the waiters at New Moon Pavilion brought out all the dishes, he was so captivated by the aroma that he forgot everything else. As soon as the dishes were placed on the table, Young Master Xu and his servants began to eat.

After taking the first bite, Young Master Xu's eyes widened. "My God, this dish is so delicious! And this Eight Treasure Duck, and this braised crucian carp, and..."

After a long while, until he could eat no more, Young Master Xu finally put down his chopsticks, clutching his stomach. The servants exclaimed, "Young Master, these dishes are so delicious!"

Young Master Xu nodded in agreement, burping as he ate. Compared to the food at New Moon Pavilion, what he had eaten before was practically pig swill.

After paying the bill, Young Master Xu instructed the waiter, "Give me another one, just like I ordered, and pack it all up."

"Alright, I'll go prepare right away."

After his stomach had mostly digested, Young Master Xu left Crescent Moon Tower with a satisfied heart.

As soon as I got home, I heard a furious roar: "You brat, where have you been again? Why are you only coming back now?"

Young Master Xu shuddered and said ingratiatingly to his father, "Father, please don't be angry. I just wanted to eat."

"Can a meal take this long? I bet you've gone off somewhere to play again. Do you believe I'll put you in solitary confinement again?"

"Oh, Dad, I'm not lying to you, I really did go to eat. I'm telling you, I went to Xinyuelou for dinner," Young Master Xu explained anxiously.

He couldn't help but be anxious; he didn't want to be locked up for another few months, or he would suffocate. Young Master Xu's eyes lit up, and he told the servants to put the food he had packed on the table, saying, "Father, look, I specially packed a portion for you."

Mr. Xu was furious at first, but when he saw the food that his son had specially packed for him on the table, he felt a little better. At least the boy hadn't forgotten that he had a father. "Try it, the food tastes really good."

"If it doesn't taste as good as you say, I might put you in solitary confinement again."

"Don't worry, Father," Young Master Xu said confidently, "This tastes even better than I described."
