Chapter 172: Turmoil in the Restaurant
Chu Yue heard that Ning Shangmo wanted to eat in the hall, and his eyes showed embarrassment.
There was a lot of noise in the hall, there were everyone, it was too chaotic and it would affect their mood to eat and chat, but when he saw Ning Shangmo looking at him with a pleading face, he couldn't bear to refuse. I had to nod helplessly, "Okay, we'll eat in the hall." ”
Ning Shangmo was very happy when he saw him agree, and subconsciously held his arm with both hands and smiled: "Thank you, Chu Yue." I like to eat in the hall, it's lively, and I can listen to all kinds of rumors in the market, which is quite interesting. ”
When Chu Yue heard her say this, the slight unhappiness in his heart instantly came to naught, and it was worth it to be able to win the happiness of his sweetheart.
So, he said to the boss: "No need for a private room, just find us a window seat." ”
The boss nodded, and subconsciously looked at Ning Shangmo, thinking that this woman was very important to His Royal Highness the Second Prince. I had never seen him bring a woman, and never had he been so accommodating.
Ning Shangmo felt him looking at him, so he nodded and smiled at him.
The boss also bowed down and smiled at her flatteringly: "Okay, I'm here for the two honored guests." ”
However, after looking around, there was no place for a window in the hall.
The boss looked at them helplessly and discussed: "Or, go to the private room this time, it will be quiet and ......."
Chu Yue frowned when he heard this, and said loudly: "I believe you will have a way, don't let me down." ”
A whispered word immediately cut off the boss's words, and immediately bowed down and responded: "Okay, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, please wait for a while." ”
With that, he walked away.
Ning Shangmo asked a little puzzled, "What can he do?" The window seats are full of people. ”
"Clear the table or change the table." Chu Yue smiled at her naturally, as if he was saying something that was taken for granted.
Ning Shangmo looked at the boss, and sure enough, he was negotiating with a table of guests sitting by the window, and she immediately said loudly: "Isn't this okay?" It's not a window location, as long as it's in the hall. ”
Chu Yue still smiled indifferently: "There's nothing bad about it, it's their honor to make room for my second prince." ”
Ning Shangmo shook her head, saying that she couldn't understand, they were both members of the royal family, but she had never had such an idea. Although they are so-called noble-born, they are not the same people as ordinary people? will be born, old, sick and die, no exception.
People are eating well, why make room for them to change tables.
"Forget it, let's just find a place to sit and don't let them change." She exhorted.
"However, I specially invited you out to eat, how can I not let you fulfill your wish?" Chu Yue replied.
Ning Shangmo stopped talking, but turned his head to look at the boss. It seems that he didn't communicate well with the guests at that table, and the argument started.
She said to Chu Yue again: "Why bother? Forget it, let's just make a seat casually, there is no need to make everyone unhappy. ”
Chu Yue didn't answer her, but frowned and walked towards the table where the boss negotiated.
"What? You don't want to change tables? He asked.
"Why should we change tables? Who are you? I just won't change it today. "It was a thin man who spoke, who did not look good-looking, but exuded an aristocratic temperament all over his body.
When the boss saw the second prince coming, he hurriedly smiled and said to him: "Since they don't change, let's change the table again." ”
After speaking, he raised his voice and shouted: "Guest officers sitting by the window, which of you is willing to change your table?" ”
But no one answered, and he shouted again: "Who wants to change, I have a treat today, and I don't have to pay." ”
Still no one answered, the boss was very embarrassed, and looked at the second prince in embarrassment.
The second prince hugged his arms, stared at him quietly, and said lightly: "I can't do this thing, what kind of restaurant do you want to open?" ”
When the boss heard this, he naturally knew how serious the consequences were, and said with a sad face: "Guest officer by the window, if you are willing to change positions, I will post one hundred taels of silver." ”
But still no one agreed, the boss was really out of recruitment. I can't help but feel miserable, what's going on today? Why are these guests by the window so bullish, he posted a hundred taels of silver upside down and no one changed the position, it seems that it was spent with him. It's not fun to offend the second prince, and it's likely that the restaurant won't be opened.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and shouted again: "Whoever is willing to change positions, I will post a thousand taels of silver." ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall, and the diners who were not in the window position blamed themselves for their bad lives and did not sit in the window position.
However, the diners sitting by the window remained indifferent, just eating and laughing, as if they had not heard at all.
This is not only the boss, but even the second prince Chu Yue and Ning Shangmo feel that something is wrong.
They looked at the eight tables of diners sitting by the window again, although they were dressed and looked like Xiliang people, but they did not speak the Xiliang dialect.
Ning Shangmo and Chu Yue couldn't help but glance at each other and nodded to each other, that's right, they spoke the Northern Mongolian dialect.
But the boss didn't know, so he smiled and asked the guest at the table who was arguing with him just now, "May I ask where the guest officer is from?" ”
"Why is it so troublesome to eat at your place? Not only may the table be changed at any time, but do you have to investigate your life history? The thin man sneered and asked, "I'm surprised that your restaurant has been open until now." ”
After speaking, he slapped his chopsticks on the table with a bang, which frightened the boss. immediately smiled and said: "Don't dare, I heard that the guest officer didn't say Xiliang, so I was curious to ask." ”
"May I ask if you are a yamen or a restaurant?" The thin man's voice became colder and colder, and his eyes were shining.
The boss had to continue to laugh, "It's a restaurant, and the guest officer doesn't want to say ......."
"We're eating, and if you're not going to close, don't bother us, and don't forget that we've paid for it." The thin man sneered: "The shopkeeper won't be ignorant, right?" ”
"Sensible, sensible." The boss was stared at by him and was cold, and he bowed his head and apologized.
As a result, he forgot that there was still the second prince waiting for the window position.
Until the second prince's cold voice sounded, "Shopkeeper, aren't you closing?" The boss came back to his senses and immediately realized his crisis, he hadn't transferred the second prince to the window position, so he was afraid that the restaurant would not be able to open.
So, thinking about it, he knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed to the second prince and begged for mercy: "Your Royal Highness the second prince, how about you and this distinguished guest move to the private room?" I'm in for a treat. ”
Ning Shangmo saw that things were very stiff, and there was a group of diners from unknown places by the window, who seemed to be not easy to mess with, so he whispered to Chu Yue: "Let's go to the private room to eat, it's still clean." ”
Who knows, Chu Yue came to the end, and said coldly: "It's all here, why should I let it?" Could it be that my second prince of Xiliang is easy to bully? ”
"Why should we eat? Is it easy for us to bully when we spend money on wine and food? When the thin man heard this, he also sneered: "Today, His Majesty the Emperor is here, and we won't let it, and we have reason to go all over the world." ”
Hearing him say this, Chu Yue couldn't help but be annoyed, and was about to say something.
But suddenly a voice came and forced his words down.
"Hey, isn't this His Royal Highness the Second Prince?"
Chu Yue looked at the person who came, and couldn't help frowning, how could it be him?
"Your Highness, are you taking a beautiful woman out to dinner? I'm so envious. The person who came was Huayuan, he pretended not to know Ning Shangmo, and only spoke to Chu Yue, but he kept sneaking a glance at Ning Shangmo with his eyes.
Chu Yue didn't want to see his acquaintances at this time, he came out to eat, but he couldn't even get a favorite position, and smiled coldly: "The painter hasn't returned to Daling yet?" Do you think that we are good in the west and want to stay? ”
When the painting heard this, he smiled slightly, and echoed: "Isn't it, there is such a plan." Since you have met the second prince, why don't you ask for a favor, please eat, how about covering me in the future? ”
Chu Yue snorted coldly: "Eat? Do you have a table? ”
Hua Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "This table is mine, I went out to relieve it just now." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the innermost table by the window.
Chu Yue saw that there were two people sitting at the table, and thought that they were in the same group as the thin man, so he couldn't help but ask, "Do you know him too?" ”
Huayuan shook his head and smiled: "I don't know this honored guest, I only came with two friends." ”
Chu Yue was skeptical of his words, just now the boss offered a thousand taels to change positions, and they didn't even agree?
Ning Shangmo was naturally very happy to see the painting garden take action to solve the siege, and she couldn't wait to sit with him. So he whispered to Chu Yue: "That table is big enough, and there are few people, why don't we share the table." It doesn't look good if it doesn't make trouble. ”
Chu Yue nodded slightly when he heard this: "Okay, even if I give you a face today, let's go over there." ”
After speaking, he said to the painting garden: "Let's go over, it won't hinder the painting boy from talking about things, right?" ”
"No, of course not." The painting garden hurriedly made an inviting gesture.
The boss couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the matter was finally resolved satisfactorily. I thought to myself, I finally escaped, let's let some blood ask for peace. So he raised his voice and shouted: "Guest officials, today the restaurant is celebrated, and I have a treat." ”
As a result, the hall erupted in bursts of applause, which was a pie-in-the-sky thing for the diners. Not only did I watch a good show, but I also saved money, which was really profitable.
And the thin man and Chu Yue also ate and drank at their own wine tables, and they were safe, and the turmoil in the restaurant passed, and it was finally peaceful.
The two friends of the painting garden were very knowledgeable, and when they saw Chu Yue and them sitting over, they took the initiative to explain that they didn't change their positions just now because the owner of the treat was not there, and they were not good at making decisions on their own.
Chu Yue naturally didn't bother with them, and he could understand their distress.
The two sat perfunctory for a while, then got up and told him.
So there were only three people left on the table, Painting Yuan Ning Shangmo and Chu Yue.
