Chapter 245: Message
"As for other dishes, you can also mark their prices and hang them on the sign outside. That way, if someone thinks the price is right and wants to eat, they can go in directly. If they think it's not right, they can know the price without having to go in."
"Some people don't think the wonton noodles on the street are cheap, and the food at Ruyi Pavilion is expensive, so they don't dare to come in. The prices are clearly marked, and everyone is fair. It also makes people know that Ruyi Pavilion's business is fair, just, open and transparent."
"That's a good idea!" Chai Zhengzhen slapped his thigh and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Then he just bowed to Zhuang Qingning and thanked him: "Thank you for reminding me, Shopkeeper Zhuang. I'll ask someone to prepare these things right away."
"The water signboard can be hung with bamboo signs just like in the shop. This way, if the price of ingredients suddenly rises and special dishes are not suitable for sale, or if the supply cannot keep up with the dishes, they can be adjusted at any time, so as to avoid the inconvenience of changing back and forth if red paper is posted."
Zhuang Qingning added: "This is all I can think of right now. If I come up with other ideas someday, I'll discuss them with Shopkeeper Chai."
"Okay, okay." Chai Zhengzhen's nose was a little red with excitement at this time. Looking at Zhuang Qingning's heart full of gratitude, he didn't know what to say when it came to his mouth. He just rubbed his hands awkwardly: "Manager Zhuang, thank you so much. You have helped me so much. I really don't know how to express my gratitude to you..."
"Now that Shopkeeper Zhuang is here, please don't leave. I'll have someone prepare a table of delicious food. Shopkeeper Zhuang, please do me the honor of having a simple meal."
"Speaking of which, my wife got two pieces of satin these days. I think the pattern is suitable for young girls like Miss Zhuang to make clothes. Shopkeeper Zhuang, please wait a moment. I will send someone to get it."
As Chai Zhengzhen said this, he was about to ask Ding Jin to go and make a trip.
"Shopkeeper Chai." Zhuang Qingning stopped Ding Jin who was about to run away and said to Chai Zhengzhen, "Shopkeeper Chai, you don't have to be so polite. I won't lie to you, Shopkeeper Chai. I have something to do in the county today and will leave soon. I really don't have time. Come back later..."
"Next, let me tell you the truth. I helped Shopkeeper Chai for my own convenience."
"Ruyi Pavilion's business is good, which will also help the tofu shop's business. Secondly, it can squeeze out Fushun Building's business. As long as Fushun Building's business is not good, I will be happy."
"So I also have selfish motives in this matter. Shopkeeper Chai has done these things wholeheartedly and helped me. I have to thank Shopkeeper Chai, so these two things can be considered as offsetting each other and we are even."
Chai Zhengzhen was stunned.
Chai Zhengzhen could guess that Zhuang Qingning intended to target Fushun Building, and he also understood the reason behind it.
But this kind of thing has always been kept secret and has never been revealed. People like Zhuang Qingning who speak frankly and openly about it without hiding anything are a minority.
But it is also Zhuang Qingning's behavior that shows that she has a clear conscience and will not hide what she has done, nor will she deny doing anything.
She was telling others clearly that she hated Fu Shun Building and was targeting Fu Shun Building.
Compared to some people who smile but hide daggers behind their backs, and say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs, people with Zhuang Qingning's temperament are truly rare.
Chai Zhengzhen felt a sense of admiration for Zhuang Qingning, the very young shopkeeper.
"I understand what Shopkeeper Zhuang means, but no matter what his purpose is or what he wants to do, I am the one who gets the advantage. I have to thank you and show my appreciation. I hope Shopkeeper Zhuang will not refuse."
Chai Zhengzhen said in a clear voice: "Since Shopkeeper Zhuang has something to do in the county town, I will not invite you to have dinner at Ruyi Pavilion today. Please come to Ruyi Pavilion when you are free some other day. I will ask Ding Jin to deliver the satin I mentioned to the tofu shop later. When Shopkeeper Zhuang comes back from the county town, he can take it home on the way."
"This is just my small token of my appreciation. I hope Manager Zhuang won't refuse."
Zhuang Qingning pursed her lips.
Her words just now were also intended to test her. Now that she saw that Chai was really like this, she realized that he was a man who valued friendship and knew how to repay kindness. She curled her lips and smiled: "Since it is the kind intention of Shopkeeper Chai, then I will accept it with shamelessness."
"These are all as they should be. Manager Zhuang, please don't be polite."
Chai Zhengzhen raised his eyebrows and said, "Now that we are talking about this restaurant, I also have something I want to ask Manager Zhuang."
"I want to ask, what is Chef Zhang busy with right now?"
Seeing Zhuang Qingning blinking, Chai Zhengzhen said hurriedly, "That's right. This happened a long time ago, even earlier than the incident at Fushun Tower. As for the chef at Ruyi Pavilion, my family wanted to take him to the county town to live in retirement. He told me a while ago so I could make plans in advance and hire a chef as soon as possible."
"During this period of time, I have also looked for many places, but the chefs I found were either not very good at cooking and I looked down upon them, or they were good at cooking but charged a high price and my small temple could not accommodate such a great Buddha. So I have been looking for a lot, but I still haven't found a suitable chef."
"It just so happens that this has happened, so I was thinking that if Chef Zhang doesn't have any work to do right now and is willing to come to Ruyi Pavilion, I would welcome him very much, and even Lian Rong, the waiter, could work at Ruyi Pavilion as well."
"I had this idea in mind and wanted to talk to Chef Zhang about it. I even prepared gifts for the visit. But after thinking it over, I didn't dare to go. I wasn't afraid that Fushun House would say anything about me, but I was afraid that Chef Zhang would think too much about the matter between Ruyi Pavilion and Fushun House. Then, Chef Zhang would be unhappy and think that I was taking advantage of the opportunity to add insult to injury."
"Shopkeeper Zhuang and Chef Zhang have always been close friends, so I would like to trouble Shopkeeper Zhuang to tentatively ask Chef Zhang if he has this intention and is willing to work at Ruyi Pavilion. If he is even slightly interested, I will go to his house and invite him immediately."
After Chai Zhengzhen finished speaking, he bowed to Zhuang Qingning.
"This matter..."
Zhuang Qingning blinked his eyes and said, "It's okay to pass on a message, but I can't say whether Uncle Zhang has this intention or not. I can only see what Uncle Zhang thinks."
Although Zhang Yongchang has been busy these days because of her suggestion to make a tofu banquet, I am afraid that Zhang Yongchang will have nothing to do after the tofu banquet is over.
People who have been busy for most of their lives suddenly have nothing to do. They are afraid that they will feel unsettled. It would be great if they could find a suitable job to do.
However, this is Zhuang Qingning's own idea. It is still unknown what Zhang Yongchang thinks or whether he has any plans, so it ultimately depends on Zhang Yongchang's intention.
