Chapter 640 Competitor Appears
A cool breeze picked up and the weather cooled down, but the inside and outside of the capital were still as lively as usual.

Today, He Lanshan was busy cooking in the private kitchen, Xiaokui went out for a trip, and couldn't help muttering when she came back, "I don't know what kind of shop is going to open across the street, it's very noisy with people coming and going."

He Lanshan just listened to it, didn't pay attention, and just replied with a smile, "Since the opposite side is empty, it's possible that we can stop people from doing business."

The two talked and laughed, and the stubble passed.

Two days later, He Lanshan finished the three tables of private meals that she had ordered, and strolled around the door in the afternoon, when she suddenly found a familiar figure that she didn't like very much: Luo Meiyi?

Luo Meiyi was getting off the carriage at this time, He Lanshan wondered why she came again today, maybe she came here again to find fault.

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Luo Meiyi actually entered the renovated two-storey shop across the street.

He Lanshan thought for a while and went back to the upstairs room, looked out of the window, only to find that the restaurant opposite was being renovated.

With a thought in her heart, she sat up straight and secretly guessed that the opposite side was also planning to open a restaurant, and Luo Meiyi was probably the owner.

Thinking of this, she quickly asked Xiaokui to go outside to inquire.

Xiaokui came back soon to reply, and He Lanshan learned that the opposite was indeed a shop bought by the Luo family, a well-known imperial merchant in the capital, and was planning to open a restaurant.

"Miss, this restaurant is right in front of our house, isn't it obvious that he wants to grab our customers?" Xiaokui was a little nervous, "Will our business be affected in the future?"

He Lanshan didn't answer, but she also knew that there would definitely be an impact, and she didn't know if Miss Luo did this on purpose because of the last quarrel, to make things difficult for herself.

"It shouldn't be a big problem." He Lanshan was silent for a moment, then got up and patted Xiaokui on the shoulder to comfort her.

In the next few days, He Lanshan has been paying close attention to the restaurant opposite, watching all kinds of tables, chairs, stools and tableware being moved in, and the plaque outside is also hung up.

After about ten days, the restaurant opposite was finished and ready to open.

He Lanshan hadn't seen Luo Meiyi for a long time since seeing Luo Meiyi that day, and she didn't see her again until the day before the opening.

He Lanshan didn't expect her to show up that day, and went out with Xiaokui to buy some precious matsutake mushrooms, and happened to meet Luo Meiyi who was about to leave.

Luo Meiyi was going to get into the carriage, but when she turned her head and saw He Lanshan, she immediately changed her mind.

She took the initiative to step forward with a proud face, blocking He Lanshan's way.

"Hey, isn't this the young master's house of Shixiang Pavilion?" Luo Meiyi smiled, and asked eccentrically, "Is the business of Shixiang Pavilion going well recently?"

He Lanshan knew that she had bad intentions, but now that they also opened a restaurant across the street after all, she thought that she should at least be polite.

She replied with a slight smile, "It's still the same as before, nothing special."

The corner of Luo Meiyi's mouth twitched, but she felt that He Lanshan was demonstrating against her.

She stared at her eyes and said, "Don't be too complacent, just take advantage of being more happy now, and when my side opens tomorrow, there will be no one there."

He Lanshan was speechless. How did she come to such a conclusion? She was a little too confident.

She felt that since Luo Meiyi didn't even do superficial work, she didn't have time to play with her, so she turned around and left, leaving a sentence, "Then we will wait and see."

"Then we'll wait and see!" Luo Meiyi didn't expect He Lanshan to be so shameless, and left without listening to what she said, feeling even more resentful in her heart, with a look of gnashing her teeth.

She secretly told herself in her heart that she must make her restaurant bigger and stronger, to steal He Lanshan's job, and to break her bowl, so that she would have no customers in the future, begging herself in tears.

Luo Meiyi turned around and got into the carriage, the carriage left in a hurry, passing by another carriage from Prince Mu's Mansion.

The carriage of Prince Mu's Mansion stopped in front of Shixiang Pavilion, and Mu Qianjiao and Lu Qingrou got off the carriage.

The two were able to get on and off the carriage, and they were not in a hurry to eat at Xiangge. Instead, they stopped and looked up at the restaurant that was about to open.

Mu Qianjiao and Lu Qingrou looked at each other, their eyes were full of worry.

They turned around and went into the Shixiang Pavilion to find He Lanshan. The three of them sat together and had a lively discussion about the newly opened restaurant opposite.

"This Ms. Luo is too good at grabbing a place. It's not good to open a restaurant somewhere. Just opening it on the opposite side is really putting people in trouble!" Lu Qingrou said dissatisfied.

Mu Qianjiao also agreed, but He Lanshan felt that although Luo Meiyi's move was suspected of robbing her of business, it should not be entirely for the purpose of embarrassing herself.

He Lanshan felt that since the Luo family was an imperial merchant, they must have a keen sense of business opportunities.

That day, Luo Meiyi ate a private meal at her own home. She must have felt that it was very profitable, so she went home and discussed it. If it weren't for the support of her family, she would never have been in such a short period of time as a little girl. During the time, the restaurant was opened.

"Lanshan, why do I look at you in no hurry, Qingrou and I are worried to death." Mu Qianjiao looked at He Lanshan with a calm expression, a little confused.

"That's right, I asked someone to inquire about it two days ago, and it was said that the Luo family hired the imperial chef!" Lu Qingrou quickly echoed, "They've been using this as a publicity stunt!"

He Lanshan was still silent, and Mu Qianjiao asked again, "This imperial chef is not simple, and the dishes made by the private kitchen are not only varied, but also full of color, fragrance and taste."

He Lanshan knew that both of them had a sense of crisis, but to her, a person who lived in the 21st century had seen the world of thousands of flowers, and would be stumped by the dishes of this era?
She secretly laughed in her heart, and felt lucky, anyway, if she wanted to compare her dishes with novelty and variety, then she would not be afraid at all.

"Don't be in a hurry." He Lanshan calmly began to comfort her two little sisters, "The propaganda on the other side is very loud, but whether it is true or how good it is, people who have eaten it must say it. Words are believable."

"But all the guests have gone to the opposite side, won't our Shixiang Pavilion be affected?" Lu Qingrou was still very worried.

He Lanshan nodded, without completely denying her statement, "There will be some impact, but don't worry too much."

She carefully analyzed it for Mu Qianjiao and Lu Qingrou. There are so many people who have to eat every day, and the restaurant downstairs has a complete range of dishes and the prices are very reasonable.

As for the private dishes she cooks, there are no more than three tables a day. The capital is so big that the supply of three tables is simply in short supply, otherwise they wouldn't all be queued for the next few days.
