Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back
Chapter 262 I'll Host
Outside the county government office.
Lu Yunfeng listened to them chatting for a long time before he understood what was going on.
It seems that Madam Yun doesn't understand the prices in town and set the prices of wine and food a little high.
But when I think about the first day the tavern opened, and how a girl had to wait there until closing time without a single customer, it was really pitiful.
After a while, an idea came to his mind.
The county magistrate seems to be still busy in the yamen.
"Go tell the master that there's a new tavern opened in Liuye Town. If he's free today, he can go try it. It'll be my treat, and he can just pay me when he comes back."
Ada took the order and left.
Lu Yunfeng stood there and sighed. After all, business was not good and it was not easy for him to show up. What if someone's self-esteem was hurt?
It would be inappropriate if ordinary people went there to eat and drink lavishly. The county magistrate is just the right person. Madam Yun would never guess that he was the one who hired him as a lieutenant.
The county magistrate was indeed not done with his work yet. He had just been awarded rewards some time ago, and he was busy trying to do something for the people before the end of the year, and often stayed up late in the county government office.
When County Magistrate Wang heard that Lu Yunfeng wanted to treat him to a meal, he was happy to give him this honor.
No matter how busy you are, you have to eat. Besides, Liuye Town is not far from the county government office. It only takes a quarter of an hour to get there by carriage.
Rubbing his tense brows, County Magistrate Wang called his legal advisor over and said, "Lawyer, let's go have some drinks together."
The master could only follow silently.
There was still no customer in the tavern.
Wang Ze rubbed his stomach boredly and said with a smile: "Godmother, how about... let's just eat by ourselves."
Yun Zhenzhen calmly put the chairs in place: "Wait a minute, after closing time, we can start eating."
Wen Yuan stood aside and spoke cautiously, "Boss, why don't you lower the price of leeks? It's too expensive. Customers who come in are scared away when they hear the price."
"No need." Yun Zhenzhen said lightly.
There will always be people who have money coming in to eat and drink. Once one person comes in and eats, he will become a real regular customer. Then naturally there will be a second, a third...
As he was speaking, footsteps were heard at the door, the light flickered, and then a man walked in.
The man was dressed very young, and his green gown made his skin look like jade. His face was thin, but his eyes were bright and sharp, dimming the brightness of the hall.
Yun Zhenzhen's heart skipped a beat.
The only people coming and going today were curious guests who didn't eat, and this was the first one who looked so handsome.
Wen Yuan immediately greeted him warmly: "Sir, what would you like to eat?"
"What do you have here?" The man sitting on the chair spoke lazily, his eyes sweeping over everyone present.
"Well, we have good wine and good food here. The best dish to go with the wine is of course the braised pig's head, which only costs one hundred coins per dish. We also have our signature dish, the Huadiao drunken chicken, which only costs one or two coins per dish."
After saying this, Wen Yuan stared at the visitor nervously, fearing that he would lift the table and leave like the previous guests.
The man held the teacup calmly, but in fact he was struggling between a plate of roasted pork head and a plate of Huadiao drunken chicken.
Although the pig's head is not very special, it is the best dish to go with wine. The other dish, Huadiao drunken chicken, sounds delicious. If you order both, you probably won't be able to finish them.
After much hesitation, he decided to play it safe: "Give me a plate of pig's head first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
"Yes!" Wen Yuan immediately spoke loudly and ordered the kitchen to serve the dishes, as if he was afraid that the man would run away.
After a while, a loud voice came: "The braised pork head is here——"
Qin Li, wearing a sweat towel, walked quickly forward with a tray in his hand. When he arrived, he put the tray on the table and lifted the cover. A strange fragrance immediately wafted into the lobby.
A layer of thin white oil paper was laid on a long wooden board, and a plate of red, oily, and sauced braised pork head was placed on it. Two small magnetic discs containing dipping sauces of different flavors were placed next to it.
On the other side of the wooden tray was a plate of spring rolls. Wen Yuan quickly stepped forward and enthusiastically introduced: "Sir, wrap the pork head in the spring rolls and dip it in the sauce. It will be delicious. If you prefer the original braised flavor of the pork head, you can eat it plain. It is also very delicious. Add a sip of wine and you will be rewarded."
Wang Ze, who was drooling at the side, glanced at Wen Yuan when he heard this.
He suspected that this kid had eaten behind his back!
"Then bring another pot of wine." The man looked at the temptingly colored pig's head and looked forward to it in his heart.
Wen Yuan quickly said, "A pot of wine costs two taels of silver. If you want to eat a small bowl, five hundred coins will be enough..."
It's better to clarify the money matter in advance to avoid a fight later when checking out.
The man also understood that a pot of wine only had four small bowls.
"Then have a pot first."
Wenyuan was a little confused. He didn't understand the world of rich people.
It seems that this gentleman is not short of money, so he should stop talking.
After a while, a jade thermos was brought up from behind. A bowl of tea was poured into it. He took a sip, picked up a piece of pork head with chopsticks and chewed it carefully. His brows relaxed instantly.
Fragrant but not greasy, tender and refreshing.
"Is it delicious?" Wang Ze asked bluntly while standing beside him, unable to stop swallowing his saliva.
The man nodded dignifiedly, picked up another piece of pork head and ate it, savoring the spicy and refreshing taste.
Wang Ze looked at the drool left behind with envy.
Qin Li wanted to pull him away quickly. What was the big deal for a shop assistant to drool in front of customers?
Wang Ze didn't care about that. He said with envy, "You are the first one to eat the pig head meat made by my godmother."
The man paused for a rare moment with his chopsticks, which had been moving all the time. Was he the first one?
I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in my heart.
Wen Yuan embarrassedly said, "Didn't the diners who came in before think it was too expensive?"
man:"......"
He lowered his eyes expressionlessly and continued eating the pig's head.
Wang Ze just sat there and watched eagerly. His godmother said that people in the restaurant industry should wait until the guests have finished eating before eating, to avoid losing customers due to poor hospitality.
When County Magistrate Wang walked in after smelling the aroma, his first reaction was, "Wow, this tavern is really thoughtful. Each customer has their own waiter to serve them."
As he got closer, County Magistrate Wang recognized that the man was not just a waiter, but Lord Wang's own son.
When I looked closely, I was shocked again.
Isn’t this the eldest son of the governor? I happened to meet him at a party two years ago. How come he came here to drink? Could it be that Brother Lu also invited him?
Tsk tsk, it seems like Brother Lu is determined to win.
