It was late at night.
Ji Yanran, the young girl, went downstairs.
The first building next door was still brightly lit.
Although the First Floor restaurant was already closed, there was still a long queue at the entrance.
Some of these people carried a small stool, while others carried a small folding stool and sat there.
They didn't care at all that the first floor was closed.
For them, being able to eat hot pot at First Floor tomorrow is better than anything else.
And the Tower of Heaven.
The shopkeeper and his staff were amazed by the abundance of food...
They prepared so much food, but it turned out they couldn't sell a single dish.
Everyone saw Ji Yanran walk downstairs.
They quickly stepped forward.
"Miss, we haven't had a single customer today."
"What a waste of all this food."
The innkeeper pointed at the food and sighed.
"What's there to be afraid of? If we can't sell them today, we can sell them tomorrow."
"These dishes always go unsold."
As Ji Yanran listened to the shopkeepers and waiters discussing, the young girl shook her head: "Tomorrow at daybreak, in front of all the customers, throw away all this food."
"It's fallen over, wouldn't that be such a waste?"
"Every meal we sell, we want to let those outside who are objectively aware that our food is always the best and the freshest."
If no one buys it, we'll dump it and make new ones tomorrow.
Tianxialou prepared a large amount of ingredients.
It would be such a waste to throw all these ingredients away.
"Or give these ingredients to beggars on the street."
...
Early the next morning.
The First Floor opened for business very early.
The young girls on the platform by the entrance continued their energetic dance to the rhythm of the music.
The elderly men waiting in line, though they had lost all their teeth, had poor eyesight, and walked unsteadily, were all quite old.
But they still rushed to the front desk regardless of everything.
At this moment, these old men were all agile and energetic.
At the entrance of Tianxialou, the manager and his staff started shouting loudly.
"Everyone, we at Tianxialou prepared a lot of ingredients yesterday."
However, we at Tianxialou do business with integrity as our foundation.
"We use only the best and freshest ingredients at Tianxialou."
“We plan to give the ingredients that no one buys to beggars or throw them away.”
What drove the manager and waiters of Tianxialou to despair was that nobody paid any attention to them.
No beggars came to eat the food they gave out.
"Gentlemen, these are all top-quality ingredients, these are all delicacies from land and sea."
"Why won't you even glance at it?"
"Your hearts are black, even beggars wouldn't eat your food. You can imagine how bad your stuff is."
"Let me tell you, we've already booked our meals for next year. I'd rather wait until next year to eat out than go to your Tianxialou restaurant."
"Your food at Tianxialou is expensive, the portions are small, and the taste is terrible."
"I really don't know what you guys are doing downstairs today. Why don't you just close down and shut down?"
"Close down immediately and do nothing."
"It's like... compared to Tianxialou, you're like a firefly trying to outshine the moon."
[Ding, Gu Deke's anger value from the manager of Tianxialou has increased by 232]
[Ding, Zhou Wu, the waiter at Tianxialou, has +62 anger points.]
[Ding, Wang Ping, the waiter at Tianxialou Restaurant, has gained 41 points of rage.]
[Ding, from...]
Even though the anger points aren't many, every little bit helps.
Jiang Tian also gained 20,000 anger points from going downstairs that day.
…………
government office...
“My lord,” Shen Lian approached.
"We caught a thief yesterday."
"Catching thieves... such trivial matters are not something your Embroidered Uniform Guard should concern yourself with."
"Sir, this thief is a waiter from Tianxialou."
"What did you steal?"
“They came to poison us,” Shen Lian said.
“Shen Lian, you don’t need to bother me with this kind of thing. Your Embroidered Uniform Guards can handle it yourselves.”
"First, lock him in the imperial prison and subject him to severe torture."
"Get me something out of it, whether you can or not." Jiang Tian said he didn't want to get involved, but he kept nagging.
Jiang Tian emphasized this for several minutes.
"Yes," Shen Lian nodded quickly.
"Don't just arrest one person, arrest a whole batch at once, preferably all of them."
"What about Ji Yanran?"
"You decide for yourself."
"clear,……"
The next morning, a long queue formed again at the entrance of the first building.
To prevent a stampede, Jiang Tian ordered the Imperial Guards and government officials to erect a long barrier at the entrance.
The line of people formed an S-shape.
To prevent people in line from getting thirsty or hungry.
The waitresses were carrying large platters filled with watermelons, grapes, and peaches.
If you're lucky enough, you might even get a free bottle of soda.
Clang clang clang... A gong sound rang out from the side.
A dozen or so Imperial Guards dressed in flying fish robes, along with more than a hundred constables, stormed into the Tianxia Tower.
"What are you doing?"
"We did nothing."
"How can you arrest people like this?"
"I'm going to report this to the authorities. Is there no law anymore? You're arresting people arbitrarily in broad daylight!"
Soon, the shopkeeper and the waiter were all put in shackles and led out of the Tianxia Tower in a line.
