Chapter 00044 - Complaining Guest
"Your Highness, go and take a look, the Zhaocai Restaurant has become a mess. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
After seeing that everything was on track, Zhao Shuo returned to the mansion, ready to take a rest, he had slept too aggrieved in the Zhaocai Restaurant in the past few days.
But before he got home, his butt was hot, and Zhang Chujiu followed, still sweating profusely and panting.
"Chu Jiu, is it your fried stinky tofu that is not in line with the appetite of the guests and causes a riot." Yan Wu glared angrily at Zhang Chujiu, who had not yet gasped for breath.
Originally, Yan Wu should have been the first choice to fry stinky tofu, but Zhao Shuo felt that it was really something to let his maid do these things that showed his face, so he asked Yan Wu to tell Zhang Chujiu how to fry stinky tofu.
Zhao Shuo felt that such a simple thing as frying stinky tofu, even if Zhang Chujiu was a novice, there would not be much of a problem.
Now hearing Yan Wu ask, she first motioned for Fluttershy to pour a bowl of water for Zhang Chujiu before she spoke. "Is that so? The ninth day of the first month! ā
When Zhang Chujiu heard this, he waved his hand again and again. "No, no, what His Highness explained, even if the little one eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, he won't dare to mess it up."
Zhao Shuo chuckled. "Don't worry, don't worry, drink some water first, moisten your throat, what's the matter, talk slowly."
Zhao Shuo's appearance of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him and not changing his face made Zhang Chujiu's gratitude to Zhao Shuo change from the initial to a higher level of worship.
After taking a few sips of water, Zhang Chujiu continued. "Sister Yan Wu's stinky tofu has been sold out, and the juice made by Shopkeeper Li has also been sold, those who have been waiting in line, and those who have gone home to withdraw money, are not reluctant to give up in front of the door, Shopkeeper Li doesn't know what to do, so he let the little one come to His Highness."
Zhao Shuo frowned, there are not many things made, after some momentum, it will inevitably be in short supply, and the guests will have some mood swings, he has already guessed. But what he didn't expect was that Shopkeeper Li couldn't cope with such a situation. In Zhao Shuo's view, Shopkeeper Li has been a shopkeeper for twenty or thirty years, and such a thing should be solved simply. That's why he takes Fluttershy and Yan Wu back to the mansion to rest.
Now it seems that his expectations for Shopkeeper Li are too high.
"What about Gonggong Feng? What's he doing? Zhao Shuo held his forehead with his hand, rubbed his temples with his thumb and middle finger, and asked helplessly.
"When the little ones came out, they were worried that the soldiers would cause trouble if they couldn't stand it, so they were handed over to Gonggong Feng." Zhang Chujiu bowed his head and said, and explained to Gonggong Feng's current work.
Zhao Shuo tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and finally smiled bitterly. "None of you reassure me."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo got up and rushed to the Zhaocai Restaurant.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Zhaocai Restaurant is in chaos at the moment.
"What do you mean, we've been queuing for so long, and if you say no, there's no more."
"Since there are so few things to do, you should explain in advance, what is this, if you don't let me eat stinky tofu and drink juice today, I won't leave."
"If it's not sold, let's hurry up and make a new one, and we're not out of money."
"That's it, that's it, we didn't eat you for nothing, why are we so hard to buy things now."
ā¦ā¦
Everyone was gossiping, and Shopkeeper Li stretched out his hands and kept pressing down. "Everyone, everyone, I'm really sorry, it's really out of stock......"
In the complaint of the customer, no one listened to what the shopkeeper Li said. All they think is that they must eat stinky tofu and drink juice.
"Calm down, Your Highness has something to say." There was a loud shout outside the crowd, which made everyone stunned, and it was 'Your Highness' who had something to say, so the crowd quickly quieted down, and they all gathered around Zhang Chujiu, who was speaking.
Zhao Shuo took a few steps forward and spoke. "Fellow villagers, my name is Zhao Shuo, and I am the owner of this restaurant."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo paused to give the crowd some time to react.
Zhao Shuo's name, they have heard it, and they are even more familiar with Zhao Shuo's deeds in Lin'an.
As soon as they heard that this restaurant belonged to Zhao Shuo, everyone knelt down one after another. Thinking about the behavior just now, everyone's backs were in a cold sweat.
"Your Highness, Xiaomin and the others don't know that it is His Highness's restaurant, there were many rudeness just now, I hope Your Highness will forgive your sins." A man who seemed to have a lot of status spoke.
"Get up! I don't blame you for that. Zhao Shuo shook his head and said helplessly. The reason why you do this, the chef here has already told me. ā
Zhao Shuo's words invisibly elevated Zhang Chujiu's status and made him the chef of Zhaocai Restaurant.
"Your Highness, Xiaomin just wants to taste the smell of stinky tofu and juice."
"Xiaomin too, hurriedly ran home to get the money, and then came back and worked hard to queue up, but the result was still not tasted, so I ......"
ā¦ā¦
Zhao Shuo stretched out his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and only after the crowd was quiet did Zhao Shuo continue. "I understand everyone's feelings, but this stinky tofu and juice are very complicated to make, and the materials used are very scarce, especially the stinky tofu, which has to go through a long period of fermentation.
Speaking of this, Zhao Shuo paused again before he said. "Since everyone likes stinky tofu and juice so much, I promise you that I will try to make as many as possible in the future, and strive to make it available to everyone."
Speaking of this, Zhao Shuo changed his words. "However, Zhaocai Restaurant is now understaffed, and in a short period of time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for everyone to eat, and I hope you will understand more during this time."
After seeing that everyone's faces softened, Zhao Shuo added. "Let's think about it, which shopkeeper doesn't want to make money. You must know that everyone likes these two things so much, even if they don't eat, drink or sleep, they have to work overtime to make some more. ā
Zhao Shuo's words are reasonable, plus Zhao Shuo is also a prince, and being able to explain these things to them like this is already very face-saving for them.
They just didn't eat it, so they were a little emotional, and now they were shown by Zhao Shuo, and what they said disappeared.
The people who had no emotions kept shaking their heads and sighing, because today, stinky tofu and juice are destined to be lost to them, and if you want to eat and drink, you can only get up early tomorrow and queue up again.
Everyone left in a huff, and soon, the front of the Zhaocai Restaurant was empty.
"Why don't you leave? Today's stinky tofu and juice have been sold out, and if you wait any longer, you won't be able to make it today. Looking at the few guests who are still in front of the door, Fluttershy walks over and persuades.
Zhao Shuo turned his head and looked at the few people who were still in front of the Zhaocai Restaurant, and at this look, Zhao Shuo's face changed.
