The waiter was a little flustered and quickly explained, "Don't underestimate our small shop, our fruit is authentic. If you don't believe me, you can come in and try it. If we're wrong, you can simply not pay!"
Song He'er turned her head and thought for a moment. The store looked very large, with many tables and chairs inside. Why not go in and check it out? If there were no customers for some other reason, she could learn from it.
"In that case, bring out all your best fruits for us to try. What about soup?"
Seeing that he had finally secured a customer, the waiter immediately greeted him with a beaming smile and went to clean up the water stains on the table.
"Esteemed guests, please come in. We have honey pastries, red bean curd, and snow cakes. Our soups are Biluochun and Maojian. We also have the tea-making performances unique to the Central Plains!"
The waiter spoke eloquently, assuming that Song He'er was an amateur and could easily fool her by casually mentioning a few names.
"Tea performances from the Central Plains?"
"yes?"
"Is the tea master here from the Central Plains?"
The waiter hesitated for a moment before replying, "I'm not from the Central Plains, but I did business there many years ago, so I know a little about it."
Song He'er didn't expose him; she simply pointed out all the signs in the area as he had instructed.
The first few dishes of cakes and pastries were quite good, but the tea that followed was really poorly made.
I never expected there to be such a shoddy teahouse in Jiangning. With such mediocre skills, how dare they do business in Jiangning?
"How long has your business been like this?"
The waiter looked around, somewhat embarrassed, "Sir, to be honest, we haven't had many customers for the past six months. There are many restaurants in Jiangning, and Qionglou is not far away! The food there is excellent, and the proprietress is willing to spend lavishly on the girls. Many wealthy customers go there; it's always packed!"
Hearing his complaints, Song He'er couldn't help but sneer. He had done such a bad job in business, yet he still had the nerve to shift the blame onto others.
"Have you considered transferring ownership of this store?"
The waiter was a little confused when he heard this, "Transfer?"
Song He'er nodded. Originally, she hadn't had this idea either, but seeing how big and spacious the houses were, how bright the streets were, and how there was a stage in the back, she realized that this place used to be a polo field, much larger than the Qionglou!
Originally, Song He'er wasn't sure if this was the place, but after taking a closer look inside and recalling what Ruan Wenxiao had said that day, she was certain that this was the once-famous polo field!
"Young lady, please don't joke with me like that. The rent for this shop is astronomical. If it weren't for the fact that our boss has some businesses to support us, we would have moved out long ago. Now that the lease hasn't expired, we can only do our best to save it!"
The waiter meant that Song He'er simply couldn't afford to rent the shop.
"Do you think I don't have money? Or do you think your boss won't sell the shop?"
"this……"
"Go ahead and ask. If your landlady is interested, then have her come out to see me. Don't worry about whether I can afford the rent; I'm determined to take over your shop."
The waiter hesitated for a moment, then decided to ask anyway.
"Please wait a moment, young lady. I'll be right back!"
After saying that, the waiter picked up a rag and walked to the back...
