There is a long table placed against the wall in the main hall of the restaurant. There are hundreds of small plates on the table. Each small plate contains food, such as a piece of chicken, a piece of roast duck, a piece of braised pork, etc. These are all free to sample.
A huge crowd came in, everyone picked up one, and a large table of free tasting snacks was gone.
However, new food is constantly being brought out in the kitchen, and the people responsible for serving the food are Chunhua and Lu Yingxue.
Lu Yingxue is a person who loves to join in the fun. She heard that the restaurant was open and was short of manpower, so she immediately volunteered to come over. She wore an apron around her waist and was busy all the time, with a thin layer of sweat on her face.
Cheng Wanwan stood beside the free tasting table and handed plates of snacks to everyone.
Because of her status, and because the county magistrate was also here, those people did not dare to take more after trying one portion. Those who had money stayed behind, while those who had no money left after trying one portion.
Although I am out, I will talk about the delicious food of this newly opened restaurant with people I know.
"It's really a free trial. It's a plate of sliced meat. It's really delicious."
"The owner of this restaurant is Sui Ruren. Do you know Sui Ruren? She is the woman who was in the ninth rank last year but has become the seventh rank this year."
"Suiru is very approachable and has no airs at all."
"The county magistrate is also inside..."
With such word-of-mouth spread, the people in Ping'an County want to see the Suiru people, and of course, they also want to try the free food.
Cheng Wanwan always kept a smile to greet the guests, and countless eyes fell on her. She always remained calm and calm.
"The restaurant opened by Sui Ruren is indeed unique." A voice came from the door. It was Wang Yuanwai who had arrived. He walked in with two followers, "I heard that Sui Ruren launched a membership card event. What is the specific answer? thing?"
He came to the restaurant, firstly, to cheer for Sui Ruren, and secondly, because he heard about this membership card event, which he found very interesting.
"Wang Yuanwai, please come over here." Zhao Ergou invited Wang Yuanwai to the counter. "The membership card is like this. It is divided into gold card and silver card. You can become a silver card customer by recharging ten taels of silver. Each time you spend eight Discount, recharge 100 taels of silver to become a Gold Card customer, with a 30% discount on each purchase, and Gold Card customers enjoy priority access to new products and delicacies..."
Wang Yuanwai waved his hand: "Get me a gold card, and I will have dinner at your place today at noon."
Zhao Ergou smiled happily: "Okay."
He immediately took out the account and the membership card he had prepared long ago and started to register.
When his mother proposed this activity plan before, he actually didn't agree with it. Before spending, he had to top up ten to one hundred taels of silver. He didn't think anyone would be so generous.
But now, Wang Yuan went out to spend one hundred taels of silver, which gave him the slightest confidence in the membership card.
As soon as Wang Yuanwai went to sit in the private room upstairs, another guest came, Cao Defu, and he brought his daughter Cao Yingying with him.
As soon as the two came in, Zhao Ergou saw a woman wearing pink clothes. His hand on the abacus paused and his breath was suffocated.
After not seeing each other for many days and seeing each other in dreams every night, he really missed Yingying so much.
"Look!" Zhao Dawang pinched his waist, "Brother Ergou, hurry up and receive your future father-in-law!"
Zhao Ergou woke up like a dream, quickly moved his eyes away from Cao Yingying's face, coughed and came forward: "Master Cao, Miss Cao, please come inside quickly, Tiezi, serve tea in the private room."
He took the Cao family directly to the private room on the second floor.
"This restaurant doesn't look lavish, but it's comfortable everywhere." Cao Defu couldn't help but comment, "Jingcheng, your mother is really not an ordinary woman. Once her restaurant opened, other restaurants in Ping'an County would be like this." Drink the northwest wind."
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Cao Yingying said disapprovingly, "Auntie's restaurant caters to wealthy people, and it does not conflict with other restaurants. Furthermore, the total number of people upstairs and downstairs is only With ten tables and a small reception capacity, how can it take away business from other restaurants?”
Zhao Ergou handed over the menu: "Order whatever you want to eat, I'll treat you today."
Cao Defu laughed loudly: "We are here to cheer up your mother. If you want to treat any guests, go ahead and ask the kitchen to bring all the delicious food."
Cheng Wanwan fetched tea downstairs and personally served it to the guests in the private room.
Wang Yuan delivered a pot, Cao Defu gave another pot, and then went to Magistrate Shen's private room. As soon as he entered, Magistrate Shen stood up: "Someone just came to report that He Yan died suddenly on the way to the capital. "
Cheng Wanwan was surprised: "How could this happen..."
"Every evil deed will be punished." Magistrate Shen shook his head, "I have to go to Huzhou, so I'll leave first. I'll come back to support you later when I have time."
Cheng Wanwan knew that he was busy, so he didn't stay much longer and sent him downstairs to the door of the hotel.
Magistrate Shen turned around and left.
Just as Cheng Wanwan was about to turn around and go in to continue receiving guests, a carriage slowly drove over and stopped at the front entrance of the restaurant.
A woman in her thirties or forties jumped down first, and then helped an old lady in her fifties or sixties down.
The old lady was dressed in coarse cloth, her hair was pulled up, and she had a plain silver hairpin stuck in her hair. She walked in energetically.
Cheng Wanwan looked at the old lady's face and vaguely felt that it looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"I have met Sui Ruren." The old lady smiled and looked at Cheng Wanwan, "Dongming said you are a wise and generous woman. Today, I saw that you are indeed the case."
Cheng Wanwan was a little confused: "Dongming?"
"Shen Dongming." After the old lady finished speaking, seeing that Cheng Wanwan still looked unresponsive, she suddenly became speechless, "You shouldn't know my son's name after all this time, right?"
Shen...Shen Dongming, County Magistrate Shen!
Cheng Wanwan suddenly realized: "It turns out to be Mrs. Shen, hurry up, please come inside."
Mrs. Shen is in her early fifties this year. She is a bit old, but she is in good spirits and dressed plainly. At first glance, she looks like a person who worships Buddha all year round.
The lobby was already full, so Cheng Wanwan led people directly upstairs and into the private room where Magistrate Shen was just now.
She smiled and asked: "I heard from Xiao Zheng that the old lady believes in Buddhism and only eats vegetarian food on weekdays?"
"Now that we have left the Buddhist hall, we don't have to stick to these things when it comes to eating." Mrs. Shen said, "Can I be so shameless as to invite Sui Ruren to sit down and have a meal together?"
The free tasting event in the lobby has passed its peak period. With Ergou and Dawang watching, there will be no trouble for the time being.
Cheng Wanwan followed Shan Ruliu and sat down: "The old lady can come to the Dahe Banquet to support me, so let me treat you to this meal. The old lady is old. I'll serve shredded chicken and tofu, and another braised spring bamboo shoots." Meat, what else does the old lady want to eat?"
"Two dishes are enough." Mrs. Shen suddenly held Cheng Wanwan's hand, "Your maiden name is Wanwan, right? Then I'll call you Wanwan."
Cheng Wanwan's eyelids twitched, and her intuition told her that Mrs. Shen's visit this time was not about drinking.
The old lady is not someone who likes to talk in circles, so she goes straight to the point: "Dongming misses you day and night, and Xiaozheng always says good things about you. I was thinking before that you, the woman, had fed them both father and son. What an ecstasy, when I saw her today, I realized that I am too narrow-minded, and there is such an outstanding woman as Wanwan in this world."
"Master Shen has a heart for the people, a breeze on his sleeves, and has always been admired and loved by me. Xiaozheng is cute and sensible, and I like it very much." Cheng Wanwan said calmly, "Didn't Xiaozheng say that he wanted to recognize me as his godmother? Why don't you find me? It’s time to take care of this matter.”
As soon as she heard this, Mrs. Shen understood that Sui Ruren had no interest in her son at all, and the father and son were in love with each other.
But in this way, Mrs. Shen admired Cheng Wanwan even more, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's treat it as a goddaughter. I have an extra goddaughter. Okay, very good. I'll go back and ask Dongming and Xiao The correct meaning..."
