(There is another update that will be very late, girls who have finished watching this update should go to bed early!)
The young man who was disturbed from his sleep raised his head with an angry face, and glared at the figure beside him.
When he saw a very young lady with two teenage maids not far in front of him, his eyes shrank for a moment, but when he noticed that the three masters and servants were dressed in the same clothes, he suddenly stiffened again .
The boy who worked as a clerk stood up, squinted at Qing with his eyes, and patted the dust that didn't exist on his body.
"What are you doing, you didn't see me sleeping!"
Wen Qing frowned, crossed his hips and said angrily: "What are you doing! Isn't this a restaurant! What else can you do if you don't eat!"
The young man bared his teeth, and glanced at Chu Lian's master and servant, "I'm sorry, our restaurant is closed today, and the shopkeeper is not here, so you guys should find another place!"
ah? Not doing business
Wen Qing took a deep breath, clearly smelling the aroma of food coming from the back kitchen of the restaurant, why wouldn't the door be open for business
Standing beside him, Chu Lian didn't say a word, but just looked at the young man who was talking with a pair of dark eyes, and then carefully looked around the lobby of Linju.
Wenqing secretly glanced at Chu Lian's expression, seeing that she had no other instructions, she continued to interrogate her as she wanted.
"How do you do business? Do you still want to drive customers out when the door is open? If you don't want to do this business, what are you doing with the door open? Just close the door and go out of business."
The young man became very angry when he was asked about Qing. He was originally the nephew of the shopkeeper. With this relationship, who would not give him a bit of face when he returned to Lin Juli to live? Asked, immediately became angry.
"We need you to teach us how to do business in the restaurant? You go and find out who the owner of our restaurant is, and get out of here!"
Not only did the young man not greet the guests respectfully, on the contrary he was even more angry than the guests. Chu Lian walked around the lobby of the restaurant on his own, with the corners of his mouth curled up in interest.
The quarrel in the lobby soon attracted the attention of people in the yard behind the restaurant.
Not long after, a middle-aged woman walked out from the backyard quickly, "It's time to eat, Cai, who are you talking to outside?"
As soon as the voice fell and the door curtain moved, Chu Lian saw a middle-aged woman in an indigo calico dress walking out quickly.
The woman has a long face, a little fat, and a pair of small eyes, which are almost narrowed into a slit when she smiles.
As soon as she came to the lobby, when she looked up and saw Chu Lian's master and servant, the woman was slightly surprised. She took two steps forward and put on a smiling face, "May I ask what is the lady doing?"
Wen Qing was going to be laughed out of anger, Gui Linju, who runs a restaurant business, would ask a customer what he does when they come in, this is not to make people laugh out loud.
Chu Lian didn't bother to speak, and glanced at Wenqing, Wenqing turned around and took two steps towards the door of the restaurant, then stretched out a slender index finger to point to the plaque on the door.
"Guilinju's three big characters are written here! The banner next to it is printed with the word "restaurant". Our wife came here to have a meal, can't it?"
The middle-aged woman was embarrassed by what she said, and she opened her mouth to refuse. The ingredients I bought in the West Market today were not many, and they were only enough for a few people in the restaurant. The leading servant bowed respectfully to report something to Chu Lian, but the woman swallowed her words back.
The middle-aged woman laughed and said courteously: "It's our restaurant that doesn't entertain well. Ah Cai just came to the restaurant not long ago and doesn't know the rules, so please forgive me. Come, please come here, madam."
Chu Lian followed the middle-aged woman to a wooden table in the lobby, looked down, and found a layer of dust on the wooden table, Wen Qing hurriedly wiped the dust with a handkerchief before supporting Chu Lian sit down.
The man named Ah Cai followed behind the middle-aged woman, wrinkling his face that was not outstanding at all, and his face was full of reluctance. If the woman hadn't pulled his arm, I'm afraid he would play his old man's temper again .
Wen Qing looked at the dusty teacup on the table and didn't bother to wipe it off. He stood behind Chu Lian and asked, "I heard that your restaurant has been open for many years. Our wife likes delicious food. What do you have in your restaurant?" Special dishes are not available?"
The woman choked, they did business like this, and Guilinju hadn't opened for several months, and the cook who used to work in Guilinju also quit long ago, so there are no special dishes. The woman rolled her small eyes, "Look at this girl who is well-informed. Our restaurant has been open for many years. Naturally, we have a few special dishes, otherwise we wouldn't be able to last for so many years, right?"
Wen Qing sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it much on her face. She still remembered Chu Lian's instructions in the carriage.
"Oh? Since there are, let's tell our wife the name of the dish. Our wife has eaten delicacies from all over the world, but she knows a lot of special dishes."
The middle-aged woman didn't want to ask Qing, but she got to the bottom of it, her face froze immediately, Gui Linju didn't even have a cook, how could she name the dishes.
Ah Cai was about to go forward to throw him out, but was pulled by the woman tightly. The woman rolled her eyes and said with an apologetic smile: "This lady, the little woman is vulgar, how do you know the names of those good dishes? How about, When the little lady goes back to the kitchen, let the cook cook it for you directly."
Which restaurant would not know the names of their own restaurant's special dishes, this woman really thinks they are fools
Wen Qing snorted, and was about to expose the treacherous woman in front of her when she received a comforting look from Chu Lian.
Wen Qing bit her lip, and waved to the middle-aged woman, "Then go and let the cook cook, our wife wants a portion of every special dish, remember to be quick."
"Okay, ma'am, wait a moment." After speaking, he turned around and gave the guy named Ah Cai a look, and said in a low voice, "Ah Cai, come with me to the back kitchen and prepare some tea for the guests."
The buddy Ah Cai was finally unwilling to be dragged away by the woman.
Seeing that the two of them had gone to the backyard of the restaurant, Wen Qing asked strangely, "Third Grandma, Lin Ju obviously stopped doing business, why do you still let the slaves order food?"
Chu Lian winked mischievously at Wen Qing, "Let's see what they can bring out later."
Wen Qing scratched her head speechlessly.
The middle-aged woman is Ah Cai's eldest aunt, the woman Wang Lushi, and the Wang family were all the dowry slaves of Mrs. He, and they were later sent to take care of Linju's business.
Since the re-planning of Shengjing Chengxi City, Guilinju's business has plummeted, and it has been running a deficit in recent years.
Mrs. He always knew that Gui Linju was losing money, and the reason why he didn't close the door was just a thought, so he never asked, but he didn't know that the house slave surnamed Wang ran his business in this way.
As soon as he entered the backyard, Ah Cai gave Wang Lu a hand, "Auntie, why do you keep them and just drive them out? They are at most the wives of some small official family. How can they be treated?" Is it more powerful than the Jing'an House?"
Wang Lushi glared at him, "You know what to do, you have already turned away several waves of guests this month. Although we say that we work for the Jing'an House, we don't have any business every month. It's not pretty, and you didn't see that little woman with a few strong servants. It would be good if you messed up, your uncle hasn't come back yet!"
Ah Cai frowned, "Auntie, you are just too timid. We all know that the reason why Linju didn't change hands is not because of the old matriarch. As long as the old matriarch is here for a day, Guilinju will not fall , we can live a fairy-like life in Guilin Juli, what can a mere little woman do to us, I am afraid that if she hears the name of the Jing'anbo Mansion, she will be scared to death!"
Wang Lushi sighed, "Okay, Ah Cai, the aunt you are talking about knows, no matter what, let's deal with those people first! I don't know which vixen came out of the mountains and hooked up with her." The son of a petty official who is incompetent came out to show off with a few servants, and he has the nerve to say that he has eaten all kinds of delicacies from all over the country. Hmph, I'm afraid I haven't even tasted the dim sum from Cook Zhou in Jing'anbo's mansion! Alright, look Your aunt, I will send her away with a few dishes at random. At that time, you can ask for more money, and go to the West Market to buy half a roast goose at night and come back to add vegetables."
Hearing what Wang Lushi said, Ah Cai laughed, "It's still my aunt who is thoughtful."
The two came to the kitchen. Wang Lushi was cooking in the backyard before, but now he can quickly prepare some dishes to meet Chu Lian and his party.
Wang Lushi took a white disk and was about to put the pot of meat cooked earlier, but Ah Cai saw it and hurriedly stopped her, "Auntie, this is what we eat, it's not a waste of time to give it to those people! "
Ah Cai likes to eat meat. He has been talking about making meat for noon today in front of Wang Lushi for several days. How could he be willing to bring this pot of meat to the front for Chu Lian and his party to eat.
Wang Lushi gave him a funny look, didn't insist anymore, put the plate of meat back into the pot, looked around under the kitchen, prepared a few dishes at random, and asked Ah Cai to send it to the lobby.
After a quarter of an hour, the waiter Ah Cai returned to the lobby with the food.
After a while, several plates were placed on the table in front of Chu Lian.
Ah Cai held his head up and said triumphantly: "Look at it, Ma'am, this is our Guilinju's special dish."
Chu Lian looked at the table in front of him with a fixed expression. There were two plates of something dark and unknown. The next plate was soup with some sparse Chinese cabbage mixed in it. The other plate was stuffed and changed color. Can't tell what ingredients it's made of.
Looking at it this way, the four dishes in front of me were hard to swallow.
Do these people really think she is blind
This time, before Wenqing could speak, Chu Lian said in a flat voice, "Special dishes? I'm afraid they are for pigs!"
As he said that, without hesitation, Chu Lian swept his hands away, and all the four dishes on the table fell to the ground. The porcelain plate hit the bluestone floor and broke, making a "crash" sound.
Wenqing Wenlan was also taken aback by Chu Lian's sudden attack, but when he saw the ugly expression on that arrogant guy, Ah Cai, he felt a burst of joy in an instant! It was as if a mouthful of turbid air was poured out in an instant, and it was very comfortable from the inside to the outside.
