Chapter 290 The Good Show is on Stage
When they arrived in Yuncheng, Jiang Fengze asked about Zuixinglou, hoping to know the location in advance.
Only then did he know that the restaurant was not far away, and was on the same street as Qincaiju, both of which were backed by Weirui Lane.
However, Qincaiju was in a bad state now, because Zhao's family fell from the building, and many people thought it was unlucky.
However, Zuixinglou was full, and even the waiter at the door was busy like a spinning top.
When they arrived, Feng looked at Zuixinglou and couldn't help but feel sorry for Boss Qin.
"The two restaurants are so close, but they are two different scenes." She shook her head.
Jiang Fengze said, "Mom, Xu Zan agreed that the time was 15:00 that day, and it's only 4:00 now. Why don't we go to Qin Caiju and sit for a while, which can also be regarded as adding some popularity to Boss Qin."
This was just right, not to mention that even if it was noon, it was Jiang Fengze who was invited.
They had to find another place to rest, and Qin Caiju was of course the best choice.
"Okay, let's go now. It just so happens that mom has something to ask Boss Qin." Feng hugged the girl's body and walked away.
Qin Bu Tong looked haggard after not seeing him for a few days. He was sitting alone on the second floor, drinking to relieve his boredom.
Hearing that it was the Jiang family, he put down his wine glass and moved to greet them.
"I'm afraid the doorstep here is covered with dust. Only you guys are willing to come and sit here." Qin Bu Tong couldn't hide his bitter smile.
The waiter beside him felt uncomfortable and interrupted, "Fortunately, Madam Jiang, you are here, otherwise, my master would drink until midnight again, and no matter how I persuade him, it would be useless."
Qin Bu Tong thought he was too talkative, raised his hand, and invited Feng and his party to go upstairs first.
Xiao Nuobao saw that he was depressed, so he also acted like a good baby, staying in his mother's arms obediently, not making any trouble at all.
After sitting down, Feng looked at the empty wine pots on the table, paused, and couldn't help but persuade him.
"You are still the No. 1 restaurant in Yuncheng, but you can't be discouraged just because of this temporary setback. Drinking too much will hurt your foundation."
Qin Bu Tong was afraid that the smell of alcohol would make Nuo Bao feel irritated, so he changed to hot tea.
He shook his head uncomfortably, "No. 1 in Yuncheng... I'm afraid it won't be long before this famous name will change hands."
After saying that, Qin Bu Tong glanced out the window, his eyes fell on the door of Zuixinglou, and he drank another cup of tea in a depressed mood.
Feng knew that her words were bleak, and the more she comforted him at this moment, the more upset Qin Bu Tong would be.
So she simply changed the subject to divert his attention.
"By the way, Boss Qin, I want to ask you something." Feng lowered her voice, "Do you know that there is a Xu family in this city, they are doing business, and they live here in Weirui Lane?"
She wanted to ask what the situation was with Xu Zan's family.
Qin Bu Tong paused while holding the cup, a little stunned, "Xu family?"
"Are you talking about the boss of Zuixinglou, Xu Xinglai?" Qin Bu Tong slowly put down the cup.
"The boss of Zuixinglou..." Feng was very surprised.
After that, the two of them talked about the situation of the Xu family in detail, and soon everything matched up.
Feng suddenly realized, "It turns out that the restaurant was opened by their Xu family, what a coincidence!"
No wonder Xu Zan wanted to invite Jiang Fengze to Zuixinglou.
Li Qiqiao's eyes widened, and she sat up straight, her back felt cold.
Since the Xu family had their own big restaurant, why did they bring Zhao to Qincaiju for dinner that day?
And Zhao died in Qincaiju, ruining Qin Bu Tong's business...
Yuncheng is not a big place, and there are only two of them that can be called the best restaurants. Now that Qincaiju has a bad reputation, the guests naturally go to Zuixinglou. Is this really a coincidence?
Li Qiqiao was cautious by nature, and did not rashly say her guess, but she was secretly suspicious in her heart.
At this time, Qin Bu Tong heard Feng talking about Xu Zan, and nodded, "Yes, the Xu family does have an adopted son, and he often goes to Zuixinglou to look after the business on weekdays. So you want to ask about him."
"However." Qin Bu Tong hesitated again, "Two days ago, I saw him accompanying Xu Xinglai to choose a shop in the south of the city. It seems that they want to open another teahouse. The two of them rode in the same carriage, and their expressions were the same. He didn't look like he was going to be abandoned from home."
Feng's eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
Even going to choose a shop together, it can be seen that Xu Zan and his family, even if there is a grudge, can still be justified on the surface, how can it be to the point of being kicked out of the house.
"Thank you, Mr. Qin, for telling me. I have to think about it carefully." Mrs. Feng remembered something and looked up at him again, "In addition, I have to tell you that the woman who died here that day was the mother of Xu's adopted son."
"What?!" Qin Bu Tong was stunned, obviously still unaware.
At this time, the big sundial in the city made a sound, and it was already noon.
Mrs. Feng became more and more suspicious of Xu Zan, and asked Xiao Nuobao, "My dear, are you really going to let your third brother go to the banquet at Zuixinglou? I am a little worried."
Xiao Nuobao had already made a plan, and her heart was as stable as if she had a weight in her arms.
She did not reply to Mrs. Feng's words, but first rushed to the side and whispered something to Jiang Fengze and Li Qiqiao.
Then, she poked Jiang Fengze's arms with her little hand and put two golden melon seeds in them.
After hearing this, Fengze and Li Qiqiao smiled and nodded to Xiao Nuobao, with an expression of "getting it" on their faces, and then stood up and left Qincaiju.
Feng Shi was confused, and hurriedly patted the lady on the back, "Good lady, what are your plans? Don't hide it from your mother, and make your mother feel like an ant crawling in her heart!"
Xiao Nuobao was clinging to the windowsill, and after seeing Jiang Fengze swaggering and walking into Zuixinglou, she shook her head and smiled.
She lowered her voice and quickly talked to Feng Shi.
Feng took a long time to react, and then suddenly laughed, "So that's how it is. So, we are playing the trick on them, and there will be a good show soon? Then mother is quite wise!"
Qin Bu Tong, who was standing by, was confused and had no idea what the Jiang family was planning.
But he could see that the real backbone of this family was the good boy Nuobao.
So he didn't ask any more questions, but just prepared fried cherries, roasted peanuts, and two pots of good tea to enjoy while "watching the show".
After waiting for about half an hour, Jiang Fengze did not come out, but suddenly, he heard a commotion outside the wine house.
Qin Bu Tong looked out the window and saw that for some reason, a bunch of old women and servants came to the door of Zuixinglou, all wearing Xu family servants' clothes!
They came up and surrounded the wine house.
What a big scene!
Among them, there was an old woman in a dark brown dress. She went in and said a few words, then ran out again, stood in front of the door with her hands on her hips and cursed.
"Well, you dare to seduce the young lady in broad daylight!"
"The two of them are in the same room, and there is a big bed inside. Hurry up and keep a close eye on this place. Don't let the Marquis of Guanwai run away!" This old woman is the companion of Mrs. Xu's family.
She covered her face and cried bitterly again, "We can only pity the young lady of the magistrate's second master's family. She is a noble lady who is about to get married. She came to our house as a guest, but she was ruined like this. How can she get married in the future!"
After the old woman finished scolding, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief. In a moment, the restaurant was surrounded by a crowd of people who wanted to watch the show.
