Chapter 236 Takeaway Service
Chapter 236 Takeaway Service
It was really popular today. Almost every table ordered a portion of red crayfish. The most direct view was in the lobby. It was the first time for everyone to eat this hot pepper. Everyone was panting from the spiciness, but they were reluctant to throw away the red crayfish in their hands. After eating a few, they drank some water to suppress the smell. The whole lobby was filled with the hissing sound of inhaling.
After eating a few shrimps and getting used to the spiciness, everyone ate more and more. I just felt that one portion of red lobster was too little, so I asked for another portion.
The red lobsters were shipped the fastest. Chef Wang was worried that there would be no stock in the evening because most of the 500 kilograms of shrimp had been used up and the orders had not stopped. A few tables of customers who had finished eating saw that many people had ordered and taken away, and they also said they would order some to take home for their families to taste, so the shipment was faster. This also laid the foundation for the take-out service.
Zheng Sisi also asked the waiters to prepare many basins of clean water in the lobby for guests to wash their hands after eating red crayfish. She also provided several bars of soap. This thoughtful service was well received by customers.
Seeing that everyone was busy with the coming guests, Zheng Sisi went up to the private room on the second floor where the Third Prince and his entourage were staying. The dishes she had ordered had already been served.
Zheng Sisi entered the private room, and the third prince pulled out the chair next to him and asked Zheng Sisi to sit down and eat.
Seeing that this was Master Xie's first visit, Zheng Sisi introduced the dishes to him, "These dishes were introduced yesterday. This restaurant didn't have them before. Today we added a bamboo fungus stewed chicken soup. You guys try it. This soup is very delicious."
Zheng Sisi filled a bowl for each person. The third prince took a sip first and said, "Mm, it's really fresh, and the chicken soup is rich. It tastes better than the one cooked by the imperial chef."
Zheng Sisi said, "Of course. I used fresh bamboo fungus and reserved a portion for it, otherwise it would have been ordered long ago. You said Qingshui County is poor, but many people ordered this dish worth 800 wen. Some tables ordered three or four portions of red lobster for 800 wen each, and even wanted to take it away."
The Third Prince chuckled: "I said Qingshui County is poor because the government is poor and the people are poor.
The most common things in Qingshui County are farms. These farms are all bought by people of status. Some of them do not need to pay taxes, so the government would be poor without tax revenue.
The common people are poor because they don't have their own land and can only live by renting other people's land. The people whose masters are good have some surplus, but the poor ones are mostly like the people in your village, so the people are also poor.
There are many wealthy businessmen and officials here, they are all rich, you can kill them without worry, they have plenty of money. "
Magistrate Cao and the other two also nodded in agreement.
Zheng Sisi said, "According to what you said, I am too kind. I should increase the price a little bit, but I am not a person who goes back on my word. So, I will set the price of the new dishes I launch later higher."
The third prince agreed: "Yes, you're welcome."
Seeing the two of them singing the same tune, Magistrate Cao and the other two shook their heads and continued with their meals. The dishes were so delicious that they couldn't stop eating!
After the meal, everyone washed their hands with fragrant soap, and they felt very comfortable.
Seeing Zheng Sisi was also there, County Magistrate Cao suggested, "Third Prince, County Lady, the thresher and the grain windmill are both in production. The thresher uses more materials and has a more complicated process. It also requires iron and gears, and will take a few more days, but the grain windmill will be completed today. How about you two go and help inspect it?"
Zheng Sisi's eyes lit up when she heard this: "It's done so quickly, you're pretty quick, right? Can we go now?"
The third prince was also very happy that it was completed so quickly. He also wanted to try out the effect and see if it was as magical as Zheng Sisi described.
Magistrate Cao stood up and said, "Okay, let's go now. I have hired several carpenters to work overtime overnight. This is mainly because we made many mistakes during the trial and error period. Once the finished product is out, it will be much easier to do it later."
