After returning to the dock and getting off the shore, the fashion festival venue was still crowded with people inside and outside.
This time, Professor Chu was no longer willing to ride in the sedan chair, so the children took the ride instead, with three people riding at a time and taking turns every ten minutes.
There were too many people, and Zhou Xiang didn't dare to take so many children around, so he asked the sedan bearers to carry them to the old street.
After walking back and forth in the old street many times and enjoying enough of the envious looks of tourists, the children started to stroll around the old street.
Shumozhai was not interested, the blacksmith shop was not interested, and the cloth shop was not interested either. It was not until they saw the sugar man stall in front of the grocery store that they stopped these monkeys.
Each person got a candy figure in the shape of a small animal before continuing to shop.
Pharmacies, teahouses, and restaurants.
Yue Lai Restaurant? Then let's just go in! It's already eleven o'clock.
The two shop rooms in front of the restaurant are the counter and the hall for individual customers. There are several ordinary square tables and long benches in the hall.
There are three main rooms in the backyard, two rooms each in the east and west wing rooms. The west wing room is the kitchen, and the main room and the east wing room are private rooms.
The three private rooms that Song Sui had planned for Zhou were all in the main house. The three rooms in the main house were the same as those in an ordinary courtyard. The doors of the east and west rooms were on both sides of the entrance. The east and west rooms were private rooms in their own right. The main room in the middle was covered by a screen next to the door frames of the east and west rooms, making it a private room.
The dining tables in the three private rooms are large round tables covered with bright red tablecloths. The backrests and cushions of the twelve chairs are the same bright red as the tablecloths.
Lu Zhaochong and his family of three were already waiting in the private room.
A man wearing a towel and a waiter's uniform followed in with a menu.
Zhou Xiang first looked at the prices. The prices of the dishes were only slightly higher than those in ordinary restaurants. He nodded secretly, thinking that there was no need to drive away customers with the prices.
She pushed the menu in front of the teacher and said, "Everyone order one dish, starting with the teacher."
Twenty plus people, one dish per person? The waiter's face was filled with genuine excitement as he brought out a few more menus and let them order slowly.
As they were ordering food, a few more people came in, "Boss, sister-in-law, and us too!"
The people who came were Lu Jin, Tian Cheng, Li Nong and others, as well as Lawyer Gao who had always been inseparable from Li Nong Meng.
"Alright!" Zhou Xiang waved his hand, "Waiter, give us the other two private rooms. As for how many people there are, we don't know yet."
The waiter responded loudly, "Okay, sir, I'll go and clean it up right away."
Hahahaha, everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing when they heard the waiter's answer.
Zhou Xiang glared at them, "What are you doing? What are you doing? Stop laughing. Our waiters are professionals." He glared at the group of people who burst into laughter. Zhou Xiang turned to the waiter and said, "Waiter, ignore them. You did a great job. This is the atmosphere we want. Here, this is your reward."
As he spoke, he pulled out 50 yuan from his pocket and handed it to the waiter. "As an encouragement, you've made sacrifices and contributions to the development of Huai County. You must persevere in this way. No matter how others laugh, entertaining our guests is also your ability. It's no different from the purpose of those comedians, right?"
The waiter had always felt awkward with this kind of wording, so his words were a bit stiff. Everyone laughed at him, and he blushed immediately. But who knew that a sudden turn of events would occur the next second? He didn't refuse and took the money from Zhou Xiang's hand, saying, "Thank you, Miss Zhou. I will definitely stick to it."
"That's wrong."
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then threw the towel that had slipped down over his shoulder. This time his tone was much smoother, "Thank you, Madam, for the tip. Please wait a moment, I'll be right back."
This time, everyone in the room just smiled and didn't dare to laugh anymore. They didn't dare to spoil the sister-in-law's show. Besides, the waiter spoke smoothly this time, so they found it pleasant to listen to.
Soon, the waiter brought tea and Zhou Xiang handed him the menu he had written. "All five."
"Okay! Madam, please wait a moment."
With Lu Jin constantly making phone calls, many people soon arrived and filled up the private room.
Zhou Xiang nudged Ling Ran and said, "Go ask the kitchen to bring more dishes! Let those who come later sit in the living room."
After the eight square tables in the hall were full, Ling Ran told the people who came later to sit wherever they could squeeze in. If there was not enough food, they could ask the waiter to add more.
Except for the big table in the east room which was properly occupied by twelve people, the other tables were almost stacked with people. Those who came with their wives or children put their wives and children on their laps to form three layers of seats. The meal was so lively, of course including the tables in the hall.
Passersby on the street were stunned. Are the dishes in this restaurant good?
After Ling Ran settled the bill, he waved his hand and told them to go back on their own. Then he followed his wife on the minibus back home.
"What? We don't have to worry about the outer garden over there?" Zhou Xiang looked at the people around him.
"You've given all your employees a holiday, so can't you give me, the vice president, a holiday?"
Zhou wanted to secretly pinch the flesh on his waist, "You talk as if I were Zhou Baopi. Did I force you to do this?"
Ling Ran grimaced and pretended to be in pain, "No, no, my dear wife, please spare me!"
Letting go of his hand, Zhou wanted to push him back, signaling him to accompany the children.
Ling Ran glanced at the children sitting in the sedan chair, their mouths grinning from ear to ear. How could he not see that they missed him? But he still had to listen to his wife, so he could only stop and wait for the sedan chair.
As soon as he stopped, Song Sui, who had caught up with him, grabbed him and said, "Ling Ran, can you please talk to Miss Zhou and help buy the sedan chair and the clothes for the sedan bearers?"
Zhou wanted to ask him to give the sedan chair business to the shops in the old street, but when filming in the morning, the crew said that with this sedan chair, the pictures would be more vivid, so he didn't dare to tell Zhou directly.
After listening to Song Sui's explanation of the whole process, Ling Ran pointed at Jiang Weihua and told him to ask Jiang Weihua to come forward and talk to the sedan bearers.
