After a moment, she put down her pen and said to Manager Xu, "Do you think this will work? If not, we should ask a specialist to rewrite it."
Manager Xu took a look and was immediately surprised.
"this……"
Rong Qingqing coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed, "It seems that won't work. Manager Xu, you should find someone else to write a new one."
Shopkeeper Xu shook his head and explained with a smile, "Miss, please don't misunderstand. It's not that I think it's bad, but rather that I find it special. I've never seen fish painted like this before, or characters written like this. It's so unique. I'll take it outside and put it away right away." With that, he happily carried the signboard out.
Rong Qingqing felt somewhat ashamed.
She simply used comics to present the new dishes that were being promoted that day.
In modern times, this kind of pattern is very common, but in ancient times, people who were used to seeing conventional paintings would probably find it difficult to get used to.
After finishing the painting, she felt a little regretful, but Manager Xu seemed quite confident, so she could only let him have his way.
Noon is the busiest time in restaurants, and Wangchunlou is no exception. With the addition of new dishes today, many regular customers have come to try them, and the waiters in the restaurant are so busy that they can't even stand still.
Rong Qingqing sat in the private room on the second floor, glanced down, and thought to herself, "Just like that, the number of guests has increased so much. It seems that people in this era are still very enthusiastic about new things."
She originally wanted to suggest that Manager Xu distribute some flyers before officially launching the new dishes, but since there were no printers in ancient times, the flyers had to be handwritten, which would be quite time-consuming, so she didn't bring it up.
Judging from its current popularity, it's clear that even without distributing flyers, the effect is excellent, indicating that Wangchunlou has indeed accumulated a large number of loyal customers.
She went downstairs and was about to go back when she saw the person coming in, and instinctively wanted to turn around.
Unfortunately, it was too late, because Xie Jingrun had already seen her.
"Rong Qingqing, what are you doing here?" Xie Jingrun narrowed his long eyes, giving off a very unfriendly feeling.
He wasn't wearing his brocade robes or carrying his embroidered spring knife today. Instead, he wore a light blue wide robe, which, combined with his handsome face, gave him the air of a refined gentleman when he wasn't speaking. But as soon as he opened his mouth and his sharp eyes swept over, that beauty vanished instantly, replaced by a feeling that he was extremely unapproachable, making people want to disappear from his sight immediately.
Right now, that's exactly how Rong Qingqing feels.
She had already stepped onto the stairs, but upon hearing this, she subtly withdrew her foot, smiling sweetly. "Has Your Excellency forgotten? This Wangchun Tower is one of the shops my mother left me. I came here today specifically to inspect it." She paused, then asked with concern, "What brings Your Excellency to a restaurant today? Are you here for a meal? Would you like me to recommend some delicious dishes?"
The woman's fake smile was extremely irritating to Xie Jingrun. Just as he was about to refuse, Emperor Zhaojing, who was standing next to him, suddenly spoke up: "Xingxiu, this young lady is..."
Upon hearing the sound, Rong Qingqing noticed that a middle-aged man was standing to Xie Jingrun's left front.
The man stood with his hands behind his back. He looked to be around fifty years old, but he was in good spirits. Although he was dressed simply, it was clear that the material was of excellent quality. He had a noble air about him, and standing next to the powerful Xie Jingrun, he was not at all inferior.
Looking at the man's friendly and approachable smile, an idea flashed through her mind.
Could he be...?
"Unrelated person." Xie Jingrun glanced at Rong Qingqing indifferently, then lifted his foot to walk inside.
But the emperor was not easily fooled. Chao Rongqing smiled even more kindly, "Please don't be offended, Miss. Xingxiu is a cold-faced but warm-hearted child, and he is easily embarrassed. He must have been shy when he saw you, Miss."
Rong Qingqing: "..."
She stared at the old man in astonishment, finding it hard to reconcile the cold-faced but warm-hearted and easily embarrassed person he described with Xie the Great Demon.
Are you sure he's talking about the same person?
