Chapter 338 Do You Dislike My Young Age?
The restaurant was bustling with activity. In the private room upstairs, Sang Ru was flipping through the account books and telling Yu Qinghuan about the restaurant's recent situation. "Miss, our revenue has been a little low lately. We've had a lot fewer customers in the past two days than when we first opened."
Yun Niang, standing by, chimed in, "So I've been developing a new dish these past two days, and I'd like to ask you to decide on the pricing."
As she spoke, she had the new dishes brought up: two main courses, a pastry, and a plate of crispy mountain cakes to relieve the heat.
After tasting the dishes, Yu Qinghuan gave Yunniang his approval, "Excellent! These two new dishes will cost an extra ten taels on top of the previous prices. For every table that orders three main courses, I'll give each guest at that table a free portion of Su Shan (Su Shan). This is valid for this month only."
Yunniang wanted to say something but stopped herself. Nowadays, there were fewer and fewer new customers, and most of them were old customers who were more generous. If the price of vegetables rose instead of falling, she was afraid that these people would be unhappy.
However, the idea of giving Sushan is a good one and it is worth a try.
The three of them were talking when the waiter knocked on the door. "Boss, Mr. Zheng is here again. Would you like to arrange a private room?"
Yu Qinghuan was silent. Zheng Qibai really came to the restaurant to eat every day, and he was not afraid of eating the Zheng family out of money.
"Just arrange where he wants to sit. No need to ask me about everything."
The waiter outside the door responded and left in a hurry.
Yu Qinghuan looked at Sang Ru and said, "Give them the order. Let them make the decision on matters like this on their own from now on. There's no need to ask me every time."
Sang Ru couldn't help but say, "Miss, it must be because when Young Master Zheng came before, you always went to the private room to accompany him, so the people below misunderstood."
Otherwise, why didn't anyone ask whether they wanted to arrange a private room for the Second Master and the Young Master when they came?
Hearing this, Yu Qinghuan frowned slightly, "Have I been there every time?"
Sang Ru and Yun Niang nodded at the same time, "Indeed, we go there every time."
Yunniang even thought that the young man had a close relationship with the shopkeeper, otherwise why would the shopkeeper accompany him every time and stay for half an hour.
Sang Ru thought about what happened yesterday and whispered, "Miss, he came today, could it be that he came to see you because of what happened yesterday?"
What happened yesterday?
Yu Qinghuan immediately had many images flashing through her mind, especially Zheng Qibai's blushing face and the way he buried his head in his food. She felt guilty, and meeting Sang Ru's obviously probing gaze and Yun Niang's curious eyes, she coughed lightly and said righteously, "What happened yesterday? Nothing happened. If you have nothing to do, find something else to do. Don't let your imagination run wild all day long, or I'll deduct your monthly allowance."
But Sang Ru knew Yu Qinghuan too well. If Yu Qinghuan hadn't said that, Sang Ru would have thought it was nothing. The way she tried so hard to prove her innocence made it clear that she had done something shameful with Zheng Xiaolangjun.
She immediately begged for mercy: "Miss, I was wrong. I will not make random assumptions in the future."
Yu Qinghuan snorted softly, "That's more like it."
Just as he finished speaking, the waiter's voice came from outside again, the same one from before, "Boss, Master Zheng said he wants to see you about something important, so he's waiting for you in the private room just now."
Yu Qinghuan: "..."
Sang Ru almost couldn't hold back her laughter, but the sound of her laughter was quite loud.
What important matter could Mr. Zheng come to the girl for? Maybe he came here today to ask the girl to take responsibility.
Yunniang, who was standing by, vaguely guessed something and said, "Boss, why don't you go over there? I can discuss the rest with Miss Sangru."
Yu Qinghuan glared at Sang Ru and said to the waiter outside, "I'm not going. Tell him to finish his meal and leave."
After a while, the waiter came again and said, "Boss, Master Zheng said that if you don't go, he won't leave today."
Upon hearing this, Sang Ru immediately became anxious. She had to leave!
There are not many private rooms in Fuyan Tower. It is just past noon now, and there are many reservations for today. If Mr. Zheng stays here and doesn't leave, how much money will be lost!
"Miss, please go quickly, otherwise Mr. Zheng will refuse to leave and delay our restaurant from making money!"
This is a big deal.
Yun Niang, who was standing by, nodded repeatedly. "Boss, our restaurant relies entirely on the private rooms on the second floor to make money. Perhaps Master Zheng really has something important to do, so we can't delay."
Yu Qinghuan's forehead twitched when he heard this. "What do you mean they're relying entirely on the private rooms on the second floor to make money? The wine and food there are quite expensive."
Yunniang used to be a very honest person, but now that she has been with Sang Ru for a long time, her words have become more and more exaggerated.
Sang Ru curled her lips and said, "Miss, have you forgotten that we spent a lot of money to buy this restaurant? Now we have bought a new house and have to support dozens of people in the mansion. How can this money be enough to spend..."
She was just thinking about having a good talk with her daughter about this, but Yu Qinghuan couldn't stand her nagging and stood up straight away, "Okay, okay, I'll go chase them away now!"
Sang Ru chased after him and said, "There's no need to chase him away. Miss, you can ask Mr. Zheng to order a few more dishes! It would be best if we could have two pots of wine!"
Now, after the novelty period has passed, in order to make money, their restaurant also sells wine for takeout during the day, and there is no limit on the quantity.
Yu Qinghuan silently quickened his pace. Alcohol was out of the question!
…
At this time, Zheng Qibai had been waiting in the private room for a long time. He had even drunk a pot of tea. He sat for a while, then stood up again, sticking his head out to look outside, wanting to see if Yu Qinghuan had arrived.
Just when he was thinking of taking another look, the door of the private room was pushed open, Yu Qinghuan walked in and closed the door again.
Zheng Qibai stood up immediately. When he saw her, he immediately thought of what happened yesterday. His ears were burning. "Sister Yu, you are finally here."
Yu Qinghuan nodded slightly, walked to the side and sat down. She looked at Zheng Qibai and saw that his ears were slightly red. She knew that he was still thinking about what happened yesterday. She immediately regretted that she shouldn't have let him do those things yesterday...
"I heard from the waiter that you have something to talk to me about?"
Zheng Qibai nodded. After returning to the mansion, he kept thinking about what happened yesterday. He felt that it was his responsibility. Since he had seen Sister Yu's body and did such a thing to Sister Yu... he should take responsibility!
"Sister Yu, I will take responsibility for what happened yesterday. I will go back today and tell my mother about the proposal!"
As the words came out of his mouth, he looked at Yu Qinghuan nervously, afraid of being rejected.
As Zheng Qingrong said, he felt a little inferior when facing Yu Qinghuan.
Sister Yu was beautiful, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, so lovable, and now she even opened a big restaurant and could make a lot of money, while I didn't know anything...
When Yu Qinghuan heard Zheng Qibai say that he would take responsibility, she was slightly startled and laughed out loud, "Qibai, it was my fault yesterday. You don't have to take it to heart. You don't have to take responsibility for this matter."
If everyone is responsible, then all these men combined would not be enough for me to marry.
Being rejected, Zheng Qibai felt lost. Seeing Yu Qinghuan still laughing, as if she had heard a joke, he asked, "Sister Yu, do you dislike my young age?"
