Upon arriving there, I quickly found the person in charge and explained the purpose of my visit to him as soon as possible.
The head steward surnamed Song initially intended to dismiss her with a few perfunctory words, but when he learned that the woman in front of him was none other than the famous Yun Zhizhi—the future Sixth Imperial Consort, his attitude immediately underwent a complete 180-degree turn.
His previously stern face instantly broke into a fawning smile, and he hurriedly agreed:
"So it's you, Miss Yun! Don't worry, I will definitely pass on this wonderful news to the brothers working below without missing a single word!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhizhi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and she said softly, "Then thank you very much, Steward Song."
As soon as she finished speaking, she deftly handed the number in her hand to Manager Song.
Manager Song stood quietly in place, his gaze fixed on the two figures that were gradually walking away until they were far away.
Then, he slowly turned around, facing the group of strong construction workers behind him, cleared his throat, and said:
"Brothers, the future Sixth Princess Consort is selling boxed lunches at a stall over there. I'm sure you've all smelled that tempting aroma wafting in the wind!"
Upon hearing this, everyone began to whisper among themselves, their faces showing surprise and curiosity.
Seeing this, Manager Song pressed on, saying, "The future Sixth Princess is kind-hearted. Seeing how hard we are working, she felt pity for us and specially promised that all construction workers who come to her stall will receive a 50% discount."
As he spoke, he held up a stack of specially made number tags and waved them: "If you want to enjoy this steaming hot meal, come find me later during the break to get your number tags."
"Remember, only those with these special serial numbers can enjoy the 50% discount. Otherwise, if you go and buy directly without authorization, you won't be able to enjoy this benefit."
Manager Song's words caused a huge uproar, and the previously quiet and orderly crowd instantly erupted into chaos.
Everyone was talking about it.
At this moment, Luo Han gently nudged Qin Hua beside him and whispered, "Look over there at the stall, it seems quite a few people have already lined up."
Qin Hua looked in the direction Luo Han pointed and indeed saw a crowd of people gathered in front of the stalls in the distance, with the queue gradually getting longer.
"Hmm, business seems pretty good. How about we skip these hard-to-swallow, throat-choking pancakes and go take a look?"
"If the price isn't too expensive after the discount, let's splurge and have a nice meal today."
Luo Han was thinking the same thing: "Great. Just smelling this domineering and rich aroma has already whetted my appetite."
Finally, it was the turn of the twin brothers, "Big Fool" Rong Yidao and "Second Fool" Rong Erdao, to get their food.
They excitedly carried their slightly rough wooden plates and eagerly walked to the area where staple foods were sold.
The two first bought two generous portions of rice each, and then carefully carried the wooden trays as they slowly moved to the area with a wide variety of dishes.
Once he stood still, Da Sha's bright eyes were immediately drawn to the most delicious-looking dish that was closest to him.
Without hesitation, he pointed to the dish and said in a loud and clear voice, "Give me a plate of stir-fried beef with yellow peppers!"
Upon hearing this, Dr. Zhou, who was busy serving the dishes, looked up and glanced at one of the burly twins in front of him: Rong Yidao.
Remembering what Fatty He had said about the two burly men who looked quite alike having just helped move a lot of heavy objects, Doctor Zhou gave a forced smile.
Immediately, he quickly picked up a large ladle and generously scooped a full spoonful of tender and juicy beef from the wooden bucket, placing it steadily on Da Sha's plate.
The portion was so generous that it clearly exceeded what others received.
However, Big Fool doesn't seem to be satisfied with this.
His gaze continued to wander among the many delicious dishes, and soon he locked onto two other dishes that made his mouth water—spicy shrimp and beer duck.
With each order, Dr. Zhou would add a generous spoonful of food to his plate with a smile.
In no time, the wooden plate in Da Sha's hands was completely stuffed, leaving almost no room for any other dishes.
Seeing that his plate was full, Da Sha grinned with satisfaction.
However, when he looked at Doctor Zhou again, he couldn't help but mutter, "This white-bearded old man, you really did manage to keep your hands perfectly steady, I really like that."
"But there's something about that smile on your face that's giving me the creeps. Could you please not smile at me like that tomorrow?"
Before even tasting the food, he had already secretly decided to visit this stall again tomorrow.
Doctor Zhou, his face expressionless, forced a smile, muttering, "Didn't you hear our famous slogan? Always keep smiling when serving food!!!"
He had been forcing a fake smile from the beginning until now, and at this moment, he felt that the muscles in his face were about to stiffen.
If it weren't for that kid He Yang threatening to deduct their wages, he would never have cooperated so readily and been so eager to smile here.
Da Sha couldn't help but mutter to himself, "That's hardly a smile! It's worse than crying."
The two brothers bought boxed lunches and quickly chose two adjacent empty seats and sat down without stopping.
