Chapter 259 Linjiang Tower (Part 2)
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiluo couldn't help but think of Cui Hejin.
I couldn't help but worry about him.
Worried that he would get hot in school.
It must be very tiring to give lectures in such hot weather.
Cui Qingci looked at the sky and calculated the time. It was almost time for her elder brother's school to be on vacation.
"If my brother knew you were here, he would definitely want to come and keep you company after class."
Since coming to Donghe Village, after more than a month of observation, she found that her eldest brother seemed to be quiet, but in fact he cared about and loved his sister-in-law very much.
She could clearly see the care and tenderness hidden in his eyes.
Her elder brother was not like this before.
In the past, her elder brother always had a cold look in his eyes when facing anyone.
He seemed to be uninterested in anything and out of touch with the world.
It's very cold and lonely.
In her opinion, it was like a cold lotus on a snowy mountain. She could only look at it, and would be frozen if she got close to it.
But now her eldest brother obviously has normal emotions.
But she didn't know if it was her illusion, but sometimes she felt that her elder brother was restraining something.
Jiang Zhiluo originally wanted to pick up Cui Hejin, but after thinking for a moment, she said, "We still have a lot of things to do, so we'd better not go to the academy. Let him go home and rest early after class."
Cui Qingci has gotten used to it. Although her sister-in-law looks very busy, she is actually always thinking about her elder brother.
They clearly care about each other, but they always feel like something is missing, as if there is a layer of paper in between.
Cui Qingci thought of this and shook her head. She thought she must be wrong.
Her elder brother and sister-in-law are both married, and they must be very close to each other in private.
Maybe I'm just more restrained in front of others.
…
Jiang Zhiluo naturally didn't know that Cui Qingci had automatically imagined a lot.
At this time, she was driving a ox cart towards the restaurant.
Passing by a Baixianglou restaurant on the way, Cui Qingci saw that Jiang Zhiluo didn't stop the ox cart and asked, "Sister-in-law, aren't we going to the restaurant?"
Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said, "Let's not go to this restaurant. Let's go to Linjiang Tower!"
Cui Qingci said, "Sister-in-law, I found that Baixianglou is doing better business than Linjianglou."
Jiang Zhiluo explained, "Your brother told me about Baixianglou and Linjianglou. Linjianglou is an old restaurant in town, but Baixianglou just opened not long ago."
"Bai Xiang Lou has introduced many of the same dishes as Lin Jiang Lou, as well as some fresh dishes at a cheaper price, so it has attracted a lot of customers. Lin Jiang Lou is a bit deserted now."
Cui Qingci was confused and said, "Then shouldn't we go to Baixianglou to sell preserved eggs? If Linjianglou's business is slow, no one will pay for preserved eggs, right?"
Jiang Zhiluo patiently said, "I remember the first time, it rained heavily. We didn't have an umbrella, let alone a raincoat."
"I was very worried about your eldest brother getting wet in the rain, but when he came back he brought an umbrella with him. I heard from mother that it was an umbrella borrowed from Manager Feng."
"Later, I learned that Manager Feng of Linjiang Restaurant was a good person. He had some straw raincoats and umbrellas in the restaurant, and he would lend them to anyone he knew who asked to borrow one."
"Even if a passerby goes to the restaurant to avoid the rain and not eat, he will let them in and won't allow the waiter to chase them away. That's why Manager Feng has a good reputation."
“When we do business, we can’t just look at the surface, we have to see how the person in charge behaves.”
"We feel more assured when doing business with people of good character. Whether it's doing things or interacting with people, the most important thing is to look at their character."
Hearing these words, Cui Qingci felt touched, and she couldn't help but think of those people in the Pei family.
"Sister-in-law, it would be great if I could have met you earlier."
Some of the words my sister-in-law said, even the simplest ones, are full of life lessons.
But she didn't understand even when she was fifteen.
My sister-in-law knows a lot at the age of fifteen.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at Cui Qingci. Although Cui Qingci was older than her, she always called her sister-in-law. Over time, she also treated her as her younger sister.
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "It's not too late to get to know each other now."
Cui Qingci said, "That's right. If I had met my sister-in-law two years earlier, she would have only been thirteen years old, not even of marriageable age."
The most important thing is that my sister-in-law was young at that time and could not marry her elder brother.
That's why she was happy to have such a good girl as her sister-in-law.
Normally, evening is when restaurants start to fill up.
However, when Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Qingci arrived at the entrance of Linjiang Tower, there was no one there.
Although there were not many people in the restaurant, the waiter was still wiping the tables diligently.
As if he heard the voice, he quickly put down the rag in his hand, hurried over and said, "Sir, would you like to eat? Please come in!"
The waiter was very enthusiastic and didn't look down on Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Qingci at all for riding in an ox cart.
Jiang Zhiluo nodded secretly in her heart.
Just by looking at the waiter, you can tell that Manager Feng is good at managing the restaurant.
When they passed by Baixianglou before, the waiters there all looked up with their noses turned upside down.
Cui Qingci felt comfortable looking at the waiter's attitude.
No one wants to be looked down upon when going to a restaurant.
Jiang Zhiluo got straight to the point and said, "I want to meet your Shopkeeper Feng!"
The waiter was stunned for a moment and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. I'll go get our shopkeeper Feng!"
As he spoke, the waiter invited them to sit down and poured them two glasses of boiled water.
Then the waiter quickly went upstairs.
After a while, Shopkeeper Feng came down.
Shopkeeper Feng looked fat and smiling, which was different from the shrewd businessman he looked like.
"What does this young lady want to see me about?"
Jiang Zhiluo said, "I want to discuss business with Shopkeeper Feng. I wonder if Shopkeeper Feng is interested."
As she spoke, Jiang Zhiluo also took out two preserved eggs and said, "I can make different dishes with these preserved eggs!"
Shopkeeper Feng looked at Jiang Zhiluo and felt that she looked familiar. Suddenly he remembered something and said, "I know you, Miss Jiang. The chili pork sauce you make is delicious."
Shopkeeper Feng hurriedly said enthusiastically, "Miss Jiang, please come upstairs!"
Shopkeeper Feng warmly invited Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Qingci to the private room on the second floor to discuss business.
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Shopkeeper Feng has eaten chili meat sauce."
"Of course not. The chili meat sauce you made is delicious. At the beginning, I asked the chef to add chili meat sauce when cooking. Some dishes became very delicious after the flavor was enhanced. It's a pity that our business is doing well this way, so Baixianglou followed suit."
As he spoke, Shopkeeper Feng shook his head as if sighing.
Jiang Zhiluo thought, no wonder when she was selling chili meat sauce at a stall before, someone bought more than twenty bottles at once.
Could it be the purchasing manager of the restaurant?
Jiang Zhiluo said, "Shopkeeper Feng, I'll be frank. I'm offering a few preserved egg dishes, and I'm also thinking of collaborating with the restaurant to sell preserved eggs."
Shopkeeper Feng was also straightforward and said, "That's easy to say. Miss Jiang, your cooking skills are so good. As long as the preserved egg dishes you make are good and use a lot of preserved eggs, we will naturally buy preserved eggs from you, Miss Jiang."
If it were someone else, Manager Feng would also have thought about it and doubted it, and would not have trusted it so much.
But he had someone inquire about this Miss Jiang, and found out that the chili meat sauce was made by her own hands.
Anyone who can make such a meat sauce must be a good cook. Moreover, this person is from Donghe Village and is Brother Cui’s wife. He knows her well, so he trusts her even more.
