Chapter 87 Hot Pot Restaurant Opening (Funny Stories)
Su Yuan was pushed to the back by his father to stand next to Meng Yunlan. Hearing this, he glanced at the two people on the bed helplessly and agreed:
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
After saying that, she took the opportunity to turn around and gently shook the hand of Meng Yunlan, who was looking depressed with his head down, raised her eyebrows and smiled at him, then strode away.
Meng Yunlan was left alone there, staring blankly at his wife's back, his eyes full of admiration and emotion.
Ten days later, Yu'an Street.
The original Mingyue Tower has been renamed Suyun Hotpot, and is now bustling in front of the door.
Not only were there crackling sounds of firecrackers, but there was also a dragon and lion dance team performing with gongs and drums, which successfully attracted a crowd of people on the street to watch and join in the fun.
Meng Yunqiao, wearing a festive red brocade robe, stood on the steps at the door with Su Yuan and shouted down:
"My fellow countrymen, today is the opening day of Su Yun Hotpot Restaurant. Our restaurant's dishes are advanced and are called hotpot. I dare to guarantee that they are the most delicious food you have never heard of or seen before."
"Not only is the way to eat it novel, but the taste is also amazing. Our new store has just opened, and we are offering a 20% discount on all purchases for the next ten days. In addition, as long as the diners come to the store to dine, we will give two side dishes for free. I hope you will support us!"
She clapped her hands, and two rows of waiters in uniform walked out of the lobby, bowed to everyone, and said loudly:
"Welcome all diners to Suyun Hotpot!"
This operation made the curious people around stare at it with surprise, and they whispered to each other:
"This restaurant actually has so many waiters, and what is hot pot? The woman in red said we have never seen it before. It's really that mysterious."
"I don't know, how about we go in and take a look?"
"Tsk, I don't believe in any mystery. This must be a gimmick made up by the store owner. They just gave it a name we have never heard of. Could it be that I, Zheng Dazhuang, have lived in vain for all these years and have never seen a dish before?"
Zheng Dazhuang had just finished refuting the young woman next to him when an acquaintance in front of him turned around and said,
"Da Zhuang, don't be so harsh. What if you are just ignorant? Otherwise, go in and order a table to see if this store is just a gimmick, then you can expose their true colors!"
Zheng Dazhuang was a reckless person to begin with, and when he was provoked like this, his blood instantly got hot.
She used her strong arms to push aside the people blocking the way in front of her, strode up to Meng Yunqiao, raised her head and said loudly:
"Take me into your restaurant. I want to try what dish you're talking about."
Seeing this, Meng Yunqiao raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to call a waiter, and said in a calm voice:
“Take this diner into the restaurant for dinner.”
The waiter, who was dressed in black and embroidered with gold thread, took the order, replied "yes", and then greeted Zheng Dazhuang into the store with a smile on his face.
After Meng Yunqiao and the others entered, they looked straight at the people below who were curiously waiting for the result. They moved their bodies calmly, opened their mouths a little, and whispered proudly:
"Sister Yuan, how was it, I did a good job just now, hehe!"
Su Yuan glanced at his friend with his peripheral vision, chuckled, and nodded in encouragement:
"Well, that's good. Keep it up!"
Meng Yunqiao was praised and raised his eyebrows happily, then shook his head and moved back, smiling in his eyes as he continued to look down at the dragon and lion dances, as well as the group of people waiting for Zheng Dazhuang to explore the way.
A quarter of an hour later.
Zheng Dazhuang's face was red, and he ran out of the hot pot restaurant with a slurred mouth. He stood in the middle of the store entrance with a pursed mouth, unable to speak for a long time.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the man who had been instigating Zheng Dazhuang became anxious, frowned, and asked loudly:
"Da Zhuang, what's wrong with you? How come you're sweating all over and can't speak after you went in? It's like you just got into a fight."
The man suddenly opened his eyes wide and said angrily:
"Is this a shady shop? Someone just forced you to say something nice inside, but you, being honest, refused to obey and started fighting with them. Isn't that right, folks? Come and see!!"
"This Suyun Hotpot is a shady shop. My neighbor Zheng Dazhuang just went in for 25 minutes and came out speechless and having difficulty breathing. The shop owner must have done something wrong. My poor Dazhuang!"
After hearing this shout, the people stopped watching the circus and gathered around in indignation, pointing at the Su Yun Hotpot Restaurant and Su Yuan and the other man standing at the door:
"Oh my god, this is actually a shady shop!"
"By the way, is Su Yun Hotpot Restaurant really that bold? They beat up civilians in broad daylight. I'm afraid they want to go to jail, right?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a pitiful guy. He was beaten like this. It is said that his throat was also made hoarse by the poison. Fortunately, I didn't go in."
There were also some enthusiastic people who shouted that they would report to the police:
"Oh my god, this guy is so pitiful. Let's report it to the police. Let's go to the government as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late. This store owner killed someone to silence him and refused to admit it!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Report to the police. I'll go right away."
On the steps.
Seeing the situation getting worse, Meng Yunqiao hurriedly turned around, tugged at Su Yuan's sleeve, and suggested:
"Sister Yuan, what should we do? Should we stop it, or come forward to explain? Otherwise, if we really let those people report it to the police, I'm afraid it will be bad for the reputation of our hot pot restaurant!"
Su Yuan glanced at her friend calmly, brushed her hand away, walked slowly into the store, took a glass of iced juice, returned, handed it to Zheng Dazhuang, and said with a faint smile:
"Dear diner, are you feeling spicy? Come, drink some of our iced juice to soothe yourself. By the way, I'll explain this to the spectators below. Look, so many people have misunderstood!"
Zheng Dazhuang looked at Su Yuan with gratitude, took the ice drink and drank it all in one gulp. After shouting "refreshing", he waved to the people below and said loudly:
"Hey, everyone, you misunderstood. I wasn't beaten, and I'm not mute. It's just that this hot pot thing is so delicious, and I was in a hurry to come out and call you, so I ate a little too fast and it was spicy."
"In addition, I, Zheng Dazhuang, can guarantee with my own head that this hot pot is absolutely a delicacy. Just as the store owner said, it is unheard of. I saw it for the first time today, and the taste is really unforgettable!"
The people had been standing outside showing great interest in the product for a long time, but after hearing Zheng Dazhuang's confident words, they stopped standing around and instead crowded into the store, wanting to try this new thing.
In the back, Zheng Dazhuang saw this, laughed twice, and shouted to the diners who rushed into the restaurant:
"Hey, hey, hey, just a kind reminder, everyone who comes in to eat, remember to order some iced juice, otherwise you'll be like me and get turned into a fool by the spiciness, hahaha!!"
Su Yuan looked at this scene, smiled and shook his head, waved his hand to call the waiter beside him, and whispered:
"Take the diner named Zheng into the restaurant for dinner and tell her that today's meal is free. This is a special treatment for the first diner of our new restaurant."
The waiter looked at her in surprise.
However, he did not say much. Instead, he followed Su Yuan's instructions, repeated what he had said to Zheng Dazhuang, and invited her back into the store.
