Chapter 249 Discussing Restaurant Menu
Xiangmingxuan is famous in Hefeng Town for its perilla and jujube.
Open every day, the teahouse is always packed, with not a single seat vacant.
The supply of perilla and jujube is not always available; thirty servings are available daily.
Despite its high price, it has received unanimous praise.
Not only did the number of customers not decrease, but the teahouse business actually got better and better.
Xiao Liuzi carried a teapot and walked from table to table, refilling tea for the guests.
A short while later, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
More guests arrived at the door.
"Sir, we are currently full..."
Xiao Liuzi stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.
A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, which was then replaced by delight.
"Waiter, please bring me more tea!"
A guest called out several times, but Xiao Liuzi seemed not to hear half of it, staring blankly at the person at the door.
He was then patted on the shoulder by the person next to him, and only then did he realize what was happening.
Xiao Liuzi didn't refill the teapot; instead, he handed it to another helper and quickly walked to the door.
"Miss Wan, you're finally back! Our boss has been missing you!" Xiao Liu greeted her with a smile and led her upstairs.
The new waiter didn't understand, so he leaned close to Xiao Liu and whispered, "There's only one private room left upstairs. Didn't the boss say it was reserved for a distinguished guest?"
Xiao Liu glanced at him and said irritably, "This is the distinguished guest!"
The waiter looked at the woman holding the child; she was dressed simply and looked like an ordinary person.
However, this person's temperament was different from that of an ordinary village woman.
Could she be some fallen heiress?
However, in Hefeng Town, and indeed in the entire Yunhe County, no one had ever heard of a Wan family with such a daughter.
The waiter frowned and thought seriously, when suddenly a person flashed into his mind.
He stared at the stairs, his eyes filled with astonishment.
This person is none other than the legendary Wan Qiqi!
Wan Qiqi thought that Xiangmingxuan had blacklisted her after not seeing her for many days, but she didn't expect to be treated as a VIP.
She had just checked and found that almost every table had a serving of perilla and jujube.
A plate of six pieces, beautifully presented.
Although she didn't know how much Mr. Zhu priced it, she was sure it wouldn't be low.
Knowing that Wan Qiqi didn't like tea, Xiao Liuzi replaced the tea with honey water and poured her a cup.
"Miss Wan, please have a seat. I'll go find the boss right away!"
Wan Qiqi nodded, telling him to do as he pleased.
The little monkey looked relieved as the people left.
Wan Qiqi could only sigh softly, "Even though you can't speak, you can't hide from everyone. Are these scenes more terrifying to you than the sea of corpses in Lianshan?"
The little monkey lowered its head, revealing a hint of grievance and self-blame.
Wan Qiqi rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.
She really doesn't know what to do now.
Sending it out is problematic, but not sending it out is also problematic.
She couldn't help but curse Shan Hu several times in her heart. It was unbelievable that he would dump such a mess on her!
At that moment, the door to the Accord opened.
A middle-aged man with a large belly walked in.
Wan Qiqi and he locked eyes.
Both of them showed surprise.
Wan Qiqi laughed first, "Boss Zhu's physique suggests that he's as well-off as his teahouse business."
Boss Zhu was taken aback, then threw his head back and laughed, "You really know how to talk!"
He stopped beside Wan Qiqi and looked her up and down again. "Miss Wan, you've lost quite a bit of weight lately. But today, I, Old Zhu, will treat you to a good meal."
Wan Qiqi smiled faintly, "It's all up to Boss Zhu!"
Boss Zhu was stunned for a moment.
In the past, Wan Qiqi was always in a hurry and would leave after only a few words in the store, but today she had so much time!
He caught a glimpse of the child beside Wan Qiqi out of the corner of his eye and asked curiously, "Is this your son?"
Wan Qiqi looked at the little monkey as he spoke and explained, "It's one of the children in the family. My son is two years younger than it."
Mr. Zhu smiled, defusing the awkward situation, and said, "Oh! It was my fault for being so rude!"
"It's okay," Wan Qiqi said casually.
The two sat down and chatted about the bandits of Lianshan.
Boss Zhu had already heard about it, but seeing Wan Qiqi's nonchalant demeanor, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: This is truly an extraordinary woman!
If he initially had some concerns about cooperating with Wan Qiqi, those concerns have now vanished.
This is an imperial plaque, praising a person as both beautiful and intelligent!
So what if she is a woman?
Thinking of this, Mr. Zhu couldn't help but ask the question he had asked earlier again, "Miss Wan, do you remember the suggestion I made last time?"
Wan Qiqi naturally remembered the idea of opening a store together.
And she's also preparing for this!
She was initially worried about whether it was appropriate to be with this person.
Seeing how the teahouse was run today dispelled her doubts.
She only provided the goods, yet this person was able to make the most of them, filling the teahouse to capacity. This undoubtedly proves Boss Zhu's business acumen.
She can't be at the restaurant all the time if she wants to open a joint venture, so she needs a reliable partner.
In retrospect, Mr. Zhu was indeed the right person.
Wan Qiqi smiled and asked, "How are the dishes that Boss Zhu mentioned last time being prepared?"
Upon hearing this question, Boss Zhu naturally understood Wan Qiqi's thoughts and quickly replied, "I'll make arrangements right away so that you, Boss Wan, can taste it yourself!"
His change of address surprised Wan Qiqi, but she liked the title "Boss Wan".
After giving his instructions, Boss Zhu came in with a booklet and spread it out on the table.
He hesitated for a long time before explaining the booklet to Wan Qiqi.
