"Did Old Li really make all this? When did his cooking skills improve to this level?"
"No, I ate Drunken Immortal Fish here a few days ago. It was pretty much the same as before. How come it has changed so much all of a sudden?"
"Could it be that they've invited some top-notch chef?"
"That's possible."
"I wonder who this person is, their culinary skills are so superb."
"But what about the Drunken Immortal Fish and Roasted Duck?"
"Perhaps he received some guidance?"
"It's not like Old Li is still in charge of the cooking today. It wouldn't make sense if he were a famous chef."
"Too."
As the three were talking, the door was knocked on and pushed open again.
This time, it was Lu Jingyi who came in.
Upon entering, he first bowed and asked, "I wonder if the three guests enjoyed their meal?"
Thinking back to their previous pickiness, and looking at the empty bowls and plates, a hint of embarrassment flashed across the faces of the three of them.
However, being able to enjoy such delicious food today is absolutely satisfying for these gourmets.
Therefore, he was in a very good mood and laughed.
"Such delicious food is priceless! I wonder if the restaurant has hired a new chef?"
Lu Jingyi smiled and said, "No, as I said before, Chef Li is still in charge of cooking."
The three were surprised and somewhat disbelieving. "Then why does it taste so different from before? Or did you hire some master chef to give you some pointers?"
"Perhaps it's because of the change in ingredients. The ingredients provided in the building now are all specially purchased by our boss from elsewhere at high prices. They are said to be top-grade ingredients specially cultivated and reserved for noble families and royalty. Their taste is naturally different from ordinary ones."
The three suddenly realized that it was the ingredients that caused the problem.
Considering that the prices of the dishes haven't changed much, and they're even half price today, I must be losing money.
But the guests had an excellent experience.
They immediately developed a favorable impression of the restaurant's new owner.
I used to think that the other party didn't know how to run a restaurant and only knew how to use fancy tricks.
Looking back now, we can see that they were striving for perfection and pursuing the ultimate.
Master Zhao couldn't help but praise, "Your master is truly a remarkable person."
Lu Jingyi smiled, "I think so too. By the way, about tea..."
Upon hearing him mention it, everyone was suddenly startled, only then remembering the tea they had been longing for.
It was almost forgotten.
While eating, they didn't even remember to have another sip of tea.
The tea in the pot is probably cold by now.
They all felt a pang of heartache.
Grandpa Zeng hurriedly asked, "How is it going? Is your employer willing to sell some?"
Lu Jingyi said regretfully, "The tea can only be specially supplied to the building."
Seeing the three of them immediately show disappointment, he changed the subject.
"However, the owner said that you are all regular customers of the restaurant and have come to support us today. In return for your kindness, we will give each of you a small gift of tea."
What does it mean to find a way out of a seemingly hopeless situation?
The three men's eyes suddenly lit up, their cheeks flushed with excitement. "Your master is too kind. We will accept your hospitality without hesitation."
As if afraid that if they waited any longer, the other party would change their mind.
After saying that, he couldn't help but blush.
This tea is definitely not cheap, and by taking it all, they really got a great deal.
I'm thinking that I'll not only come every day in the future, but I'll also bring more people to eat here.
Putting everything else aside, this kind of delicious food should be enjoyed by more people.
After settling the bill and collecting the tea, the three quickly left, intending to boast and share their good news with the other old folks.
Lu Jingyi went downstairs and glanced at the packed lobby and the guests who were being led to private rooms by the waiters.
The previous group of guests who had finished their meal had already left.
However, all of these people left with feelings of excitement and satisfaction.
Once they get out, they'll definitely brag about it to their friends and family.
After that, many curious people came to try it, which is the power of tap water.
He found a waiter, had him get a number and wait at the door, and said that once fifty tables were served, there would be no more queues.
Yun Zhiyi stipulated that the restaurant would only be open during two specific time periods.
The two hours at noon, roughly from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
In the evening, it's from 5 PM to 9 PM.
Only by knowing when to advance and when to retreat can one retain employees.
Things that are too easy to obtain are never too rare.
Lu Jingyi wholeheartedly agreed.
Meanwhile, Yun Zhiyi was driving a horse-drawn carriage, leading a long caravan of goods away from the dock.
She rented a warehouse at the dock and put some mature trees and old grape saplings inside.
They will then hire someone to transport the trees back to the village, intending to replace some of the trees within the village.
These mature trees, except for their thick roots, have had all their branches pruned off, leaving them bare. You might mistake them for trees cut down for carpentry work.
Each tree is quite large, and even after removing the branches and canopy, a trailer can only carry four or five at most.
Therefore, this trip will require hiring quite a few people.
Almost all the city's delivery teams were hired, and they loaded up trees and marched in a grand procession towards the farm.
Seeing such a long line appear, the villagers all peeked out to see.
Everyone was curious when they saw the owner bringing back so many tree stumps.
There's a large forest behind the village.
If the landlord wants to cut down trees, he can just go somewhere else; why did he have to bring them all the way here?
Of course, they could only grumble to themselves.
Seeing that the owner was personally driving the cart again today, the villagers along the roadside became bolder and started to greet him.
Yun Zhiyi nodded slightly to them.
The tension eased slightly as everyone watched the convoy depart.
"Just as they said, the boss has a good temper and seems to be a kind and generous person."
"If I weren't generous, I wouldn't have wanted Li Chengzhi."
"That's good, that's good."
"Not necessarily, we'll have to wait and see how she manages the estate."
