Chapter 41: The Arrival of King Xuanming
When the onlookers saw this scene, they immediately made way for the door and respectfully let King Xuanming and his party pass.
When King Xuanming and his entourage stepped into the restaurant, Su Shengsheng noticed that the diners had quieted down and were looking at them with fear on their faces.
It's no wonder they reacted this way. After all, the Qilin Army has been searching for the main culprit of the counterfeiting for the past half month, and the murderous aura around them is indeed frightening.
Su Shengsheng was afraid that they would misunderstand, so she lagged behind Xie Xuan and stretched out her hand to lead them upstairs.
"General, please come to the private room upstairs."
When she saw that everyone around Xie Xuan called him that, she changed her tone.
The diners heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
However, he was still shocked by the murderous aura that followed Xie Xuan and his generals.
Although the sun was shining brightly outside, the temperature in the store dropped sharply when several people came in dressed in armor.
The one assigned to sit outside the private room was Aunt Xu Wan. When she heard the diner say that it was King Xuanming who came, she became so nervous that she couldn't even speak.
Su Shengsheng originally planned to lead them upstairs and then go back to the cashier. After all, the store was opening today, and there were many things Qingning and the others could not handle.
But when she arrived at the door, she was met with pleading eyes from Aunt Xu Wan, so she had to temporarily change her job.
It has to be said that the appearance of King Xuanming disrupted all their deployments.
Fortunately, Qingning and Su Shengsheng were both literate and had learned accounting from them. After the initial chaos, they quickly adapted.
Those who were watching outside, when they saw that even King Xuanming had come to this store, immediately rushed in.
Shixianglou soon became lively again.
In the private room
Su Shengsheng noticed that all the generals were wearing thick armor and their faces were sweaty.
She asked Aunt Xuwan and Zai Qingti to bring a bucket of drinks and fill everyone's cups.
There were enough customers, so Zai Qing didn't go out to solicit customers and focused on serving them.
In view of the special identities of these generals, especially King Xuanming who had helped the Su family several times, Su Shengsheng saw that Qingning and Ningyu could still handle it, so he did not rush out.
But she didn't know the generals' tastes, and it was not easy for her to let them go out and get the ingredients themselves.
Just as she was hesitating, General Mu Ze drank the drink and praised her highly.
"What is this made of? Why have you never drunk it?"
Seeing that his glass was empty, Su Shengsheng gestured to Zai Qing to refill the others' glasses while introducing, "This is Sprite."
"Sprite?" Mu Ze looked at the drink in the cup, which was as clear as snow but with a slightly green color, and hummed heavily.
Then he smacked his lips and said, "Although it's sweet, it's very refreshing and makes me feel less restless."
Lime is responsible for mixing Sprite.
Zai Qing was very happy to hear people praising the drinks made by his sister.
This was something Su Shengsheng taught her sister in her early years. This time, in order to make her business famous, her sister specially prepared this.
Seeing that Xie Xuan didn't seem to like the noise, Su Shengsheng didn't continue to find the next topic too enthusiastically.
Her main dish is grilled and hot pot, with meat as the main dish.
But King Xuanming had eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, and the ones she bought from the hunters were probably more common to them.
So she asked Aunt Xuwan to go to the cold storage to get ice cream and other cold treats made with milk fruit.
Of course, it is not easy to get King Xuanming to condescend to come here, so why would he not let them taste the signature dishes of the restaurant?
After Aunt Xuwan brought the ice cream and everyone cooled down, Su Shengsheng refilled the charcoal fire.
Then she asked Aunt Xuwan to serve a plate of each dish on the table.
"I don't know what your tastes are, so please add the dishes to the pot yourself."
Xie Xuan sat by the window and hadn't spoken a word since entering the room, but he really liked the Sprite.
Seeing this, Su Shengsheng prepared a light-flavored soup base.
The thinly sliced mutton was out of the pot in a short while.
The soldiers' appetites had been whetted by these cold appetizers, and they couldn't wait to start eating.
After applying a thin layer of the special dipping sauce, they all praised it: "Not bad, the mutton has no mutton smell at all, it's really delicious."
Chu Zhao looked at Mu Ze coldly as he picked up half the pot of meat with his chopsticks. "If you want to eat, eat it yourself. If you put it all in your bowl, what should I eat?"
In this era, there was no such thing as one pot per person as in modern times.
Although Nanling does not restrict iron too much, but in such a large store, if everyone uses their own pot, firstly, the cost will go up, and secondly, cooking with only one pot will take a lot of time.
Otherwise, why would she limit it to half an hour? It was because of this time difference.
She noticed that Xie Xuan did not pick up any food with his chopsticks, and wondered if he had mysophobia or something.
So she put the grilled mushrooms and lamb skewers on the plate in front of him and sprinkled them with sesame seeds and cumin powder.
Unexpectedly, he still didn't move his chopsticks.
Perhaps the powerful and wealthy don’t care about these things. Su Shengsheng sighed in his heart and silently placed some exquisite snacks.
There are sushi, pizza, snow mei niang, etc.
Unexpectedly, this time it suited Xie Xuan's taste, and he ordered two plates of Snow Meringue in succession.
It turns out that King Xuanming, who exudes coldness all over his body, actually likes to eat sweets.
Su Shengsheng wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to laugh out loud. She just prepared more desserts very naturally.
However, perhaps eating too much sweets would make one sick of it, so after King Xuanming had the Snow Meringue, he didn't eat any other snacks.
The other generals were very casual and soon finished dozens of plates of meat.
The heat on their faces that had just subsided quickly surged up again.
Zai Qing was busy pouring drinks for the guests.
As everyone in the room was enjoying the delicious food, someone suddenly teased, "Why are all the people here girls? Is there no man left at home? I wonder if any of you girls can find a husband to marry into your family? See if Xiao Ke is up to it."
The man had obviously drunk too much and was intoxicated. He shouted so loudly that people upstairs and downstairs could hear him.
I don't know if that person knew that King Xuanming was also upstairs. I just heard him inciting others to laugh in a very frivolous manner.
Although Su Shengsheng had taught them how to deal with similar situations, she was still a little worried about Qingning and the others.
She bowed slightly and said, "Excuse me, distinguished guests."
Mu Ze also heard the noise outside and wanted to follow to see which blind person dared to mess around with them, but he was immediately forced to sit down by Chu Zhao.
"If you can't even handle this, you might as well close the store early."
downstairs
Qing Ning remembered the young lady's words about harmony bringing wealth, and instead of retaliating with a sarcastic remark, she said calmly, "Sir, please follow our restaurant's rules and refrain from making loud noises, as this will disturb other guests. Otherwise, you will be asked to leave."
The ladies said that if a customer strikes up a conversation with them and they respond, then others will follow suit.
But if they don't answer, they will be accused of neglecting the guests.
Therefore, it is best to shift the focus and resolve the conflict at this time.
The man's eyes were blurry from drinking. He chuckled and was about to speak when Qing Ning pointed to a warning sign on the side.
If any guest feels disturbed by the noise of a rude person, our hotel supports the guest in claiming compensation from the person who made the noise.
In addition, those who make noises but still do not change after being warned twice will be blacklisted by our hotel and will not be served again.
It is hard to find a place in the whole of Nanling where you can eat and drink as much as you want for just one hundred coins.
Although that person is rude, he is not stupid.
He quickly weighed the pros and cons and kept his mouth shut.
Su Shengsheng felt relieved when she saw this and secretly gave Qingning a thumbs up.
Qing Ning heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the man had stopped talking, and was very happy about Su Shengsheng's like.
When Su Shengsheng returned to the private room, Mu Ze could no longer hold back and asked, "Miss Su, are you going to do business in the future?"
In fact, what he wanted to ask more was why the Su family would allow several unmarried girls to show up in public.
After all, Old Master Su has always been strict with etiquette and morality, so this shouldn't happen!
