After hearing what Jiang Fengqi said, Xia Chuyi nodded and replied, "Then please come in and take a seat!"
Setting aside status, Xia Chuyi simply treated them as regular customers, not wanting to fuss about it any longer.
Although Xia Chuyi’s shop was small, its decoration and design carried a modern feel.
This surprised and intrigued the group of young nobles.
"Chuyi, your shop is quite elegant and interesting," Jiang Fengqi said as she looked around, being the first to compliment.
Xia Chuyi thought to herself, ’Elegant? It’s just cleaner and more sanitary than usual.’
Regarding Jiang Fengqi’s remark about it being "interesting," it was probably referring to their open kitchen, which allowed customers to see everything clearly.
This was something Xia Chuyi had learned from fast food establishments in later times.
For diners outside, the biggest concern was usually about the ingredients and cooking process. If they could see that the operation was in an open space, their sense of security would greatly increase, and they would feel much more comfortable eating.
After Jiang Fengqi had given her praise, Song Zhicheng also nodded and added, "It really is interesting, different from ordinary places. It has a unique style."
Xia Chuyi smiled and thanked them, but said nothing more, immediately getting to work preparing braised pork rice for them.
After a while, the braised pork rice was served.
Honestly speaking, the group that came today was not lacking in food or drink, but they were still impressed by the braised pork rice from Xia Chuyi’s family.
"This pickled vegetable must be the same as those Shuqin brought home last time, right?" Jiang Fengqi praised after taking a bite, "It really tastes great, no wonder it won the elders’ hearts."
The others also voiced their praises.
"This braised meat tastes really good."
"The pickled vegetables are also delicious."
Even Second Young Master Ou, without any quibbles, grudgingly nodded.
Xia Chuyi pursed her lips and smiled, feeling that these people were not difficult to get along with.
Just when everyone was enjoying their meal happily, suddenly a loud rebuke came from outside.
"Who is the owner of ’Youwei’? Come out!"
Following the rebuke, two police officers in uniform entered.
"Someone has reported that there’s a problem with your ingredients!"
As soon as the police appeared, all the diners in the shop stopped eating.
"I told you, you are a jinx; nothing ever goes right when you’re involved!" Jiang Shuqin glared at Ou Cong, who was busy eating, and blurted out.
"Hey, what does this have to do with me?" Ou Cong looked indignant and extraordinarily wronged.
The two officers, upon entering, fixed their gaze on Xia Chuyi and the others, who were wearing aprons and hats.
"Are you the owner of ’Youwei’?" one officer asked, "Someone has reported that you have a problem with your ingredients."
"Close down your shop and come with us," he said.
As his words fell, the room fell into silence.
A report? A problem with the ingredients?
She had only just opened for half a day!
How had she managed to attract trouble?
Xia Chuyi sighed, feeling that she truly had a knack for attracting trouble.
Just as she prepared to argue, seeing that she had not moved, the officer seemed to get angry and moved to grab her.
At the sight of the officer’s action, Jiang Shuqin immediately stepped in front of Xia Chuyi and yelled, "Hey, what do you think you’re doing?"
Behind her, Song Zhicheng and Ou Cong exchanged glances and stepped up from behind, grabbing the officer’s hand and successfully stopping him.
"You!" The officers did not expect anyone to dare obstruct them and grew even angrier, raising their voices, "A report has been made, and of course, we need to investigate. As citizens, you have a duty to cooperate with the investigation, you all..."
