Chapter 586 Gathering
Peach blossom pastries became an instant hit in Yunhe County.
Xinglong Restaurant was not yet open for business, but the entrance was crowded with people.
This scene is no different from when Xinglong Restaurant was wrongly accused of poisoning.
The restaurant waiter stared at the still-closed door, somewhat frightened.
"There are so many people at the entrance, are they coming to cause trouble?"
"Really? The restaurant has always been fine, and I haven't seen anyone cause trouble!"
"Whose restaurant has so many customers before it's even open for business?"
As Erpang listened to the discussion, he recalled Wan Qiqi's words from yesterday and was startled.
Could there really be something wrong with the pastries, which is why these people are causing trouble?
Thinking of this, he was even more reluctant to let anyone open the door.
People waiting outside waited until the restaurant opened for business, but it never did, and they started to murmur amongst themselves.
"Didn't they say Xinglong Restaurant would open at 1:45 AM? It's already 1:45 AM, why isn't it open yet?"
"No way? Not open for business? Then I've made a wasted trip."
"Yes! I came all the way from the next county. I heard that these peach blossom pastries are extraordinary, so I came specifically to try them. If they're not open, then all my time has been wasted!"
At this moment, someone nearby said, "I just checked, the backyard of the restaurant is open, and all the restaurant staff are inside."
Upon hearing this, the people gathered at the door couldn't wait any longer and began knocking.
"Knock knock knock~"
"Knock knock~"
The knocking on the door was incessant, making it seem as if the doorway was about to be pushed down by someone outside.
The people in the restaurant looked at each other, at a loss, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, Zhu Chengye and Wan Qiqi entered the hall and saw that the waiters were all standing in a group, the door was not open, and there was a group of people outside the restaurant.
Wan Qiqi asked, "What are you all standing there for? Open for business!"
Erpang, representing the group, said, "Sister Qi, it's not that we don't want to open the door, it's just that there are too many people outside, and I'm afraid they'll rush in and cause trouble."
"In broad daylight, who would dare to cause trouble?" Wan Qiqi tilted her head and glanced in the direction of the door.
If these people were here to cause trouble, they would have barged in long ago instead of knocking on the door.
Wu Gousheng ran in from the backyard and stopped beside Wan Qiqi, saying, "Sister Qi, the people outside are here to buy snacks!"
Wan Qiqi nodded in understanding, glanced at the waiter, and said, "Did everyone hear me? Quickly open the door and welcome the guests!"
The person standing at the entrance of the restaurant hesitated for a moment, but finally opened the door.
The crowd surged in, quickly filling the first-floor lobby, the second-floor private rooms, and the second-floor terrace.
In addition, people kept walking into the restaurant.
The lobby was packed with people, leaving the waiter with almost no room to move. He had to apologize to the customers every two steps he took.
Such a lively scene had never been seen even in Chun Chang.
Wan Qiqi stood behind the counter, looking at the scene before her, but she was somewhat worried.
With so many people coming, Zuijianglou is really going all out!
This is undoubtedly an attempt to push her to the forefront of risk control and then deliver a fatal blow!
Great! That's really great!
It seems that her opponent takes her very seriously, which is why they are willing to spend a lot of money to put on this grand show and elevate her to the top.
But she would never give up so easily.
These people wanted to play with her, so she played with them.
"Gousheng, wait another hour and tell all the guests that all the pastries for today are sold out." Wan Qiqi smiled slyly.
"Huh?" Wu Gousheng was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Okay."
Wan Qiqi tilted her head and stared at Wu Gousheng, a cryptic smile curving her lips, and asked, "Aren't you curious about what I want to do?"
"I'm curious!" Wu Gousheng replied, then realized his voice was too loud and lowered it, saying, "But Sister Qi has her own plans. If knowing about them would hinder her plans, then I don't need to know."
"No." Wan Qiqi narrowed her eyes. "I'm going to put on a big show for these people and see if they're human or ghosts. Whether they're human or ghosts, I won't let them off easily."
Wu Gousheng sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Wan Qiqi, making him realize that he should never provoke this woman, or he would be in big trouble!
An hour later, the people who had come to buy the snacks were dismissed by the restaurant, leaving only a few people who came to eat and drink.
The kitchen of Xinglong Restaurant.
Seeing the booming business, Niu Yi felt that his good days were about to begin.
Just over an hour later, news came from the front that all the dim sum had been sold out for the day.
Niu Yi looked completely bewildered.
He clearly still has materials and can make a lot more, so why doesn't he sell them?
The other kitchen staff shared Niu Yi's confusion and were discussing it amongst themselves.
"Why is Manager Wan acting so strangely lately?"
"Yes, who would turn away their guests?"
"I think Manager Wan still wants to teach us a lesson, after all, we caused trouble together before."
"But if she's alright, why would we cause trouble together?"
Lei Zi and Hong Tian, who were standing to the side, scoffed at these words and didn't want to talk to them.
But the kitchen wasn't just filled with people who flattered Niu Yi; it also housed people who supported several of the owners and obeyed Lei Zi's arrangements.
"What are you saying? Don't you know how Manager Wan has treated us?"
"That's right, you people are ungrateful and heartless!"
While some people spoke up for Wan Qiqi, others naturally disagreed with them.
"Who are you calling ungrateful and heartless? Watch your words. Don't think you can get away with anything just because you have Manager Wan protecting you."
"We're just telling the truth! Whenever the restaurant does a little better, Manager Wan will have someone give us a bonus for our hard work. Where else can you find such a good manager?"
