Chapter 196： Open a restaurant

"Who is eating Bawang's meal?" A young man's voice came from outside the crowd.

Everyone looked at the source of the sound, and immediately looked a little surprised.

When the shopkeeper saw the person coming, his arrogant and unreasonable expression immediately became polite and flattering. He stepped forward and bowed slightly, and said to the person, "Master Zhou, why are you here?"

Zhou Wencai, who was called Young Master Zhou, replied with a half-smile, "Manager Zhang, what are you talking about? Isn't it a restaurant where you eat and drink? I'm here, besides eating, what else can I do? Is it just to watch? Can't you make a joke?"

As soon as Zhou Wencai's words fell, Manager Zhang's expression was stunned, and he couldn't react.

Why does it sound a little strange to hear the words of the county magistrate's son?

When did they offend Zhou Gongzi?

Shopkeeper Zhang thought to himself, but he still said to Zhou Wencai with a smile on his face, "Young Master Zhou, I made you laugh. It's just two guests who don't want to give money when ordering food. Are you looking for an explanation?"

Zhou Wencai still looked at Lin Yuelan with a half-smile but not a smile, and asked the shopkeeper Zhang, "Oh, there are still people who dare to eat the king's meal at Shiweitian? I want to take a look, who is so bold, look. Bian Shi is from Tian Restaurant?"

It's just that the more Mr. Zhang listened to his words, the more he listened, the more yin and yang he felt.

Although Zhou Gongzi often came to eat for the sky, and occasionally met one or two guests who wanted to eat Bawang's meal, but what he did at that time was to sit on the sidelines and watch, and didn't want to meddle in his own business.

But now...

Shopkeeper Zhang had a bad feeling in his heart.

However, before he could react and deal with it, the development of things was completely beyond his expectations.

As soon as Zhou Wencai's words fell, before shopkeeper Zhang could answer, Xiao Er hurriedly pointed at Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan with disdain and contempt, and said to Zhou Wencai, "It's just the two of them!"

Afterwards, Zhou Wencai's reaction was completely different from the expressions of the spectators looking at the guests.

After Zhou Wencai saw Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan, he fanned his hand for a while, and immediately made a stunned and surprised expression on his face, but then, from shock to joy, he immediately closed the fan and walked towards Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan in three or two steps. He said very excitedly, "Miss Lin, Young Master Nan, it's really fate, we just separated, and only a short while later, we met again in this restaurant!"

Listening to Zhou Wencai's words, looking at Zhou Wencai's joyful expression, everyone was stunned, especially the shopkeeper Zhang and Xiao Er, who opened their mouths in surprise.

However, Manager Zhang reacted quickly, and then asked very carefully, "Master Zhou, do you know them?"

Zhou Wencai replied without thinking, "Of course. The two of them are my father's distinguished guests! Miss Lin, Young Master Nan, my house has prepared wine and food, please come back to Zhou House for dinner with me?"

Zhou Wencai's words were like dropping a big rock on this otherwise calm lake, causing a huge splash of water, and then the waves were turbulent.

They would never have thought that these two men and women who they regarded as poor ghosts, who could not afford food and wanted to eat Bawang's meal, would be the guests of the county magistrate Zhou. That's right, not the guests of Zhou Gongzi, but directly It is Lord Zhou's guest.

The expressions of Shopkeeper Zhang and Xiao Er immediately became horrified and panicked.

Because, they had just offended these two guests, and a moment later, they learned that they were actually the guests of the county magistrate, which... this made them panic.

Although they are restaurant shopkeepers and juniors, their status is not high at all, except that they have more money than ordinary farmers,

The faces of shopkeeper Zhang and Xiao Er immediately turned pale, especially Xiao Er.

He was able to insult Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan before, and that was because they had no identity background. Now, in the blink of an eye, he was two people who were contemptuous and disdainful, and turned into a high-ranking figure. It was to make him feel that he had to find a crack to burrow in, so as to escape this terrifying scene.

After the shopkeeper Zhang was stunned, he reacted again, his face was very ugly and ashamed, he said to Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan, "Two guest officers, it was wrong with Xiao Er just now, the so-called ignorant person is innocent, please forgive us. Reckless and unreasonable!"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Yuelan's face didn't change, but she said indifferently to the shopkeeper Zhang Qingyun, "Manager Zhang, the so-called innocence of those who do not know, I don't know what it means to be ignorant, and what kind of innocence? ?"

She didn't want to make things difficult for them on purpose, but just now, they were a little bit dissatisfied with their poor, overlord's meal or something.

She is playing a child now. A child who is bullied will definitely make trouble if she wants to, right?

Shopkeeper Zhang wiped a cold sweat on his forehead, and immediately bent down and said to the two of them sincerely, "The two guests, it is the next and the little ergou who have offended the two of you, please forgive the two guests. Reckless and unreasonable!" This time is obviously more clear and sincere than the last time.

Lin Yuelan didn't want to stay here to make her unappetizing. She took out a piece of silver from her bosom, looked at a dozen or so, and said coldly to Shopkeeper Zhang, "Boss, check out!"

As he said that, he glanced at the basically untouched meals on the table, and then saw the beggars who were poking their brains outside, pointed at the meals, and said, "Let the beggars outside eat these meals!"

Ten taels of silver, for beggars...

This is naked in the face of the shopkeeper Zhang and the second, and it is in the face of the reputation of the restaurant.

Don't you say you can't afford it, you say you eat Bawang's meal?

Okay, then I'll take out ten taels of silver at once, enough to buy this table's meals, let you slap your own face, and leave you completely speechless.

This is completely Lin Yuelan's counterattack against them, and it is still a heavy blow!

Shopkeeper Zhang was shocked and angry, and at the same time was nervous, he had to stiffen his head and said, "Okay!" Then he instructed Xiao Er and yelled loudly, "Why are you still standing here? You haven't delivered these meals yet. Feed those beggars outside!"

What an insult.

Shiweitian's signature dish was actually used to entertain beggars.

However, he knew that if he didn't do this, it was probably not the two unidentified guys who offended him, but the county magistrate Zhou.

Can the restaurant that offended the magistrate Zhou still be able to stay in Anding County?

Want to know what's going on.

Shopkeeper Zhang looked bitter, secretly annoyed that he had missed his eyes. At the same time, he was even more annoyed by this young man. If he hadn't misled him and said that they were eating the overlord's meal, he would not have looked down on them and insulted them. They were also heard by the son of the Zhou county magistrate.

Xiao Er was so frightened that his face was pale and his hands were shaking, and he picked up the food on the table tremblingly, and then carefully took it out, not daring to say a word.

This scene, let the surrounding guests watch, and their hearts are also secretly bitter.

Just now, they seemed to be responding to Shopkeeper Zhang and bullying these two people together. I wonder if they will remember them.

In fact, they think too much.

For Lin Yuelan, she didn't take it to heart at all.

People, that's how it is.

They bully others by their power, look down on others, bully the soft and fear the hard, etc. They just tend to instinctively choose the most favorable side of themselves.

If it was her, she would definitely prefer a familiar person to a familiar person, rather than lend a helping hand to a stranger who suddenly appeared.

Lin Yuelan didn't have any interest in eating here.

She nodded to Zhou Wencai and said, "Thank you, Young Master Zhou, then I might as well obey my orders!"

The group left just like that, leaving everyone with a surprised expression.

This scene is very normal for ordinary people. However, after a long time, when someone mentioned it again, he couldn't help but regret it, sighed, and said, "If I was not like them, it would be better if I stood up and said. If so, can I have some soup with me today?"

However, the past is the past after all, and there is no regret medicine in the world.

Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan followed Zhou Wencai to Zhou Mansion again.

This time it's for dinner.

Looking at these dishes, it seems to be full of color and flavor.

However, as soon as Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan imported the food, they frowned slightly, but still ate them silently.

Of course Zhou Wencai understood the expressions of the two.

Because he had eaten the meals made by Lin Yuelan, but unfortunately, he was in the county seat and couldn't go to Ning'an Town often.

Zhou Wencai provoked a smile and said, "Miss Lin, Young Master Nan, the poor man's poor food, let you laugh!"

Jiang Zhennan would not make a sound, but Lin Yuelan said with a chuckle, "Young Master Zhou, you are so polite. I am a peasant girl and can have a meal at the Zhou county magistrate's house, even if it's a rough meal, it's mine. It's an honor. What's more, these meals are full of color and flavor."

Color, aroma and taste may only account for "color".

Zhou Wencai also understood very well.

After the three of them had tea and dinner, Zhou Wencai tried with a smile, "Miss Lin, your craftsmanship is so good, why don't you open a big restaurant in Anding County?"

He didn't suspect that Lin Yuelan had no money now, so he directly said to open a restaurant.

"If you are worried about funds, Miss Lin, don't worry, my Zhou family can put together a little money." Zhou Wencai said. Their Zhou family is not sure about the money, of course, this money is not from his father embezzled, but the capital Zhou family provided some funds for their activities, plus he sold some calligraphy and painting and other various incomes.

Lin Yuelan did not respond immediately, but asked, "I wonder what kind of benefits Zhou Gongzi wants after providing some of the funds?"

Lin Yuelan has always been very direct when it comes to business affairs.

She had planned to open a restaurant in Anding County.

However, she made an agreement with Liu Qi first and promised that she would not open a restaurant like his in Anding County, so his restaurant should be different from Liu's.
