After hearing this, the boss lady's enthusiasm was extinguished. She just said, "Then please do as you please." and walked back to the counter to look through her account book.
"How come even these small families have to be so concerned about others' feelings these days?"
Aunt Ji made a dissatisfied sound, but the proprietress had very sharp ears, and the sound, which was neither loud nor soft, just happened to reach her ears.
The 200-pound figure propped up the table with one arm and said sarcastically, "Some people who can't afford it shouldn't just look at it casually. If they accidentally damage it, they'll have to pay ten times the price. There are so many ready-made clothing stores out there, and the quality and prices are much lower than our Miaoyifang!"
Her voice was so loud that the customers in the store who were in groups of three or four all stared at Helan Minzhi as if they were watching a show. Watching her make a fuss made her feel uncomfortable.
Ji Mama was also a hot-tempered person. How could she tolerate others humiliating the princess like this? When she was about to speak, Helan Minzhi stopped her and said, "It's okay, Mama, let's go."
She was also very sad. She didn't expect that she would be ostracized by others after leaving the palace. Her nose suddenly felt sore.
After coming out of Miaoyifang, Helan Minzhi wandered aimlessly on the street, and eventually arrived at West Street.
There are a lot more people here than in East Street. After all, it has an all-in-one service for eating, drinking, and having fun, and it is extremely prosperous.
She wore very few hair accessories today, just a bun, secured with a plain jade hairpin.
She didn't seem to have any fancy and expensive hairpins.
The whole person looks pretty and weak.
"Mammy, is there anything fun happening in Funing City recently?"
She hadn't left the palace for a long time and was out of touch with this place. She felt that the West Street before was not like this. It seemed that the front should be for buying vegetables, while this place seemed to be for buying fruits.
"The Ninth Prince opened a restaurant some time ago, and it is said that the business is very good." replied Nanny Ji.
"Ninth Prince?" Helan Minzhi had little impression of him. She only knew that he was a young man who always looked sick and was very handsome, and she should call him the emperor's uncle.
"Where is it?"
She asked for the location, and Aunt Ji said, "It's not far ahead, opposite Zuixian Tower."
The owner of Zuixianlou is Yoo Seung-ho, and the owner of Dongxilou is Helan Yinsheng. What's wrong with these people? Are they going to take over all the catering business in Funing?
"Shall we go and take a look?"
To be honest, there are really a lot of people queuing up in the East and West Buildings.
There is a small booth in front of the building, and there is a long queue there.
But it looks very orderly.
Because there are so many people coming but the seats are limited, Helan Yinsheng has come up with a reservation and ordering method.
That is, if you want to dine at the East and West Building the next day, you must make a reservation one day in advance, and the next day you must hand in the reservation receipt with the East and West Building seal to the shopkeeper before you can dine there.
Moreover, the East and West Buildings do not provide “take-out” services. Their purpose is to allow customers to experience the highest level of vision, touch and taste.
At first, some people found it hard to accept, but gradually, due to its uniqueness and scarcity, as well as the first-class taste of the dishes, more and more people became crazy about it. Many girls, after hearing that Helan Yinsheng was the owner, frantically made reservations at the East and West Buildings just to meet this girly heart-wrenching prince.
Because she didn't have a reservation, Helan Minzhi couldn't go in. The girl at the small pavilion explained to her gently, "Miss, please wait in line at the back. Your turn will be soon."
Helan Minzhi shook her head and said that she would not go. She might not be able to go out the next day, so there was no need to make an appointment.
What's more, Zuixianlou and Dongxilou are now considered competitors. If she goes to Zuixianlou, it at least shows that she is on Yu Seung-ho's side.
When Helan Minzhi was about to leave, she saw a familiar figure, and the corner of the purple clothes disappeared from her sight.
Yu Qinglan, why is she here?
Helan Minzhi didn't know the friendship between Yu Qinglan and Helan Yinsheng. She just thought, since she was Yu Chenghao's sister, why didn't she go to Zuixianlou.
So she turned back and asked the girl in the small pavilion, "Does the lady who just went in have an appointment?"
The girl smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, we can't disclose the guest's information."
This is really watertight.
Helan Minzhi chuckled and let it go.
After all, she paid special attention to Yu Qinglan because she was Yu Chenghao's sister. If she didn't have this identity, she wouldn't notice Yu Qinglan at all.
Then she went to Zuixianlou without asking for a private room.
Because only on the first floor can you have the chance to meet Yoo Seung-ho.
She ordered a few signature side dishes and was satisfied to see that Zuixianlou's business was still as good as ever and that Dongxilou had not taken away too many customers.
In fact, Zuixianlou and Dongxilou target different consumer groups. Rational consumers or ordinary people will choose the former, while decent, wealthy or vain people will choose the latter.
After she ate for a while, Yu Seung-ho came as expected.
He was still wearing red clothes today, but he was wearing a black belt. He looked haggard and sleepy.
Yoo Seung-ho went straight to the front desk and sat on the bench, yawning and catching up on his sleep.
He didn't see Helan Minzhi, and she felt a little disappointed, then felt distressed.
Running a restaurant alone is so tiring. He must have been looking at the account books very late last night.
Thinking of this, the beef chunks in my mouth no longer tasted good, and I only thought about how to help him share some of the burden.
It was not until she had been looking at the front desk and chewing a piece of beef for more than a quarter of an hour that she woke up after Aunt Ji called her several times. She was in a daze, chewed the beef, and then stopped talking.
