Chapter 155 Eating hot pot
She cursed Yang Chenchuan a thousand times in her heart, but her face was filled with a flattering smile, "Husband, I didn't say I don't want to go shopping, I just don't want to wear a hood. You don't know if you have never worn this thing, you can't see anything clearly, the whole world is like it has been colored, if you don't believe me, try it on and see."
As she spoke, she picked up the veil and covered his head with it, then asked anxiously: "See, I didn't lie to you, everything is blurry."
Thinking about how she had been wearing this for so long and had yet to walk around the streets in a dignified manner, she said to Yang Chenchuan in a negotiating tone: “Husband, can I not wear this veil?”
Yang Chenchuan took off his veil and answered readily: "Sure!"
After hearing this, Lin Yuxi grinned from ear to ear and quickly said a lot of nice things. She thought that he was not bad. At least he was not like other pedantic men who forced the things of this era on her. Her favor for him increased a lot.
Unexpectedly, she almost vomited blood after hearing the next sentence.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at the lively expression on her face, and said to Mo Yan who was driving the carriage outside: "Let's go home."
"Aren't you going to Zui Furong to eat hotpot? Why are you suddenly going back home?" Lin Yuxi asked anxiously. She had finally come out for a trip, but now she had to go back before reaching her destination. How could this be possible?
“Don’t you want to not wear a veil? You don’t have to wear it in the mansion.” Yang Chenchuan shrugged, looking like I’m very sensible and I won’t force you. Lin Yuxi’s face immediately darkened.
Damn it, he had clearly dug a trap to lure her into it. She stared at him fiercely, wishing she could gouge him out. She had just said that he was a nice guy and that she had a good impression of him, but now she wanted to take it all back.
"How?" Yang Chenchuan asked.
Lin Yuxi pouted and said reluctantly: "Isn't it okay for me to wear it?"
The carriage stopped, Yang Chenchuan got off first, and then helped Lin Yuxi get off. The servant at the door immediately came out with a smile when he saw them. There was nothing he could do, the customer is God, and service is the most important thing no matter what business you are in.
It was almost noon, the time for lunch, and the table was full. The waiter smiled and said, "Are you two guests here to look for someone?"
After hearing this, Lu Yun hurriedly said, "Our master and young mistress are here to eat, just bring us whatever delicious food you have."
The servant's mouth twitched when he heard this. There were so many delicious dishes at Zui Furong that if all of them were served, he would be stuffed to death. The servant bowed and said,
"Please forgive me, the rooms upstairs are full, and there are no empty seats downstairs. If you are not here to look for someone, you can only come back another day, or wait a while."
After saying this, the servant's eyes fell on a place near the door.
Lin Yuxi followed his gaze and saw that there were indeed a few carriages parked on the side. They must be waiting for seats as well. She pouted and looked up at Yang Chenchuan.
It was a strange thing that he was not given food by his own subordinates at the Zui Furong, which he founded. Fortunately, his attitude was good enough, otherwise this would have been a real show.
After hearing this, Lu Yun's face puffed up like a ball. This restaurant belonged to the young master and the young mistress, and they dared to stop their master. She opened her mouth and started to curse.
The shopkeeper inside saw this and was startled when he saw it was his master. He hurried out and bowed to apologize: "I am so sorry, I was blind and didn't recognize you. Please come in."
Then he scolded the servant: "What are you doing here? Take the guest inside to the third floor, Tianzi room, and tell the kitchen to pick the most expensive and best ones to cook, and do it quickly."
Lin Yuxi laughed and said, "The most expensive and the best, isn't the shopkeeper afraid that we don't have the money to pay the bill?"
The shopkeeper waved his hands repeatedly, smiling attentively but with a hint of embarrassment, "Madam, you are joking. It is an honor for our small building to have you here. Please come in, sir."
She shrugged her shoulders slightly. This shopkeeper was good at talking and was fooled by him in a few words. He didn't even give them a free meal. She wanted to eat for free today.
The shopkeeper didn't call them masters, it should be Yang Chenchuan who told them to do so. The people who had been waiting in the carriage for a long time looked at this scene with frowns on their faces.
"Boss, didn't you say there were no seats? How did they get ahead of us after arriving? Are you looking down on us and thinking we can't afford the money?"
Someone took the lead, and the others were also very upset. The shopkeeper just said that they had to queue up, and they had been waiting for almost half an hour. Logically, they should be given first if there were empty seats. How could the last ones to arrive go in first? They all clamored for the shopkeeper to give an explanation.
The shopkeeper was also a smart person. He bowed and said, "That room was reserved by this customer in advance. Honesty is the foundation of business. I hope you will understand."
In fact, this box was not open to the public according to Yang Chenchuan's wishes. It was reserved for the master specifically to prevent today's situation from happening.
As soon as the shopkeeper said this, someone on the other side asked, "If you can reserve a seat, why didn't you tell us earlier? How do you reserve a seat? Send us a message and we can reserve a seat for you some other day, so that we don't have to wait for half a day every time we come back."
The man's question made the shopkeeper feel difficult. He looked at Yang Chenchuan for help. Lin Yuxi's eyes flashed, and just as she was about to speak, Yang Chenchuan said to the shopkeeper in a voice that only the three of them could hear: "The reserved seats require a deposit of 100 taels per month. Reservations must be made one day in advance, and seats are only reserved for half an hour."
After the master spoke, the shopkeeper calmed down and explained Yang Chenchuan's instructions in a smooth manner.
The shopkeeper was comforting the people waiting for a table, and the two followed the waiter into the restaurant.
They didn't bring many people with them this time, only Lu Yun and Mo Yan. Lu Yun was there to take care of Lin Yuxi, and Mo Yan was actually a coachman. The four of them entered the room, and Lin Yuxi couldn't wait to pull Yang Chenchuan to sit down. She didn't expect that they had the same idea. She felt that Yang Chenchuan had a good business mind and was very happy.
The waiter came in with a menu. Most of the dishes were what Lin Yuxi had thought of. She ordered a shabu-shabu hotpot without even looking at it, as well as a few of her favorite dishes. The waiter wiped the table diligently, casually threw it over his shoulder, wrote down their orders, said okay, and left, closing the door on the way.
As soon as the waiter left, the shopkeeper knocked on the door and came in, bowing respectfully and saying: "Sir, just a few moments ago, seven or eight people paid a hundred taels of silver for room reservation." The shopkeeper laughed, his tone full of uncontrollable excitement.
At first he thought that no one would be willing to do so, after all, it was a waste of one hundred taels of silver just to reserve a seat, and the money would not be refunded whether you came or not within a month. Unexpectedly, when those people heard that they could reserve a seat by paying one hundred taels, they all rushed to sign up.
But he earned eight hundred taels in just a cup of tea, and it was a net profit. Thinking that there would be more profits in the future, the shopkeeper was so excited that his eyes almost turned into copper coins.
