Chapter 224: The County Princess is Really Generous
Zheng Sisi's advertising was great and it whetted the appetites of all the diners. It depends on how many people come tomorrow. She doesn't know if the 300 kilograms of shrimp she prepared will be enough.
She also provided two shrimps to each person as promised. After eating the two shrimps, everyone basically finished their meal and got up to pay the bill and leave.
After most people left, Mr. Liu approached Manager Gao and whispered, "Old Gao! My previous care for you was not in vain. I apologize for what I said just now. You didn't lie to me. Let me ask you, the girl just now was the Princess of Anping County, right? Is the one with County Magistrate Cao the Third Prince?"
Manager Gao nodded and said, "Of course I won't lie to you. The other people who were vying for the red lobsters are the grandson of Duke Zheng, the son of Minister Zhong, and the other girls are all daughters of first-rank officials.
You see how powerful the Princess Anping is. She turned this deserted restaurant into a restaurant full of guests in just one afternoon. Just wait and see, the business will be even better tomorrow. I am reminding you because you took care of me in the past. Think about it yourself, ah!"
Mr. Liu nodded: "Thank you, Lao Gao! Please pay the bill for me."
After Mr. Liu left, Manager Gao buried his head in the account again. The income from this afternoon's meal was more than the turnover of his restaurant in ten days. Manager Gao couldn't help but sigh that he really didn't know how to do business.
After Zheng Sisi cooked red lobster for the guests, she began to prepare dishes for her friends and meals for the staff.
By the time the dishes were served, it was almost six o'clock, all the guests had left, and the waiters were cleaning the table.
It was already very late at six o'clock and it was dark. In those ancient times when people went to bed at nightfall, they had not eaten yet and were already starving.
When the dishes were served, Zheng Sisi asked everyone to eat first and then clean up the tables. There were 70 or 80 people eating, and many tables in the hall were not cleaned up. Zheng Sisi put the dishes in large sand pots and asked them to take their own seats after they finished eating. She also put two large pots of red lobsters for them.
All the maids, servants, guards and restaurant employees were shocked by what they saw. The county lady told the guests that there were no more red lobsters, and it turned out that they were left for them to eat. These lobsters could be sold for dozens of taels of silver.
You know, the price on the menu for the flavored red lobster is one tael of silver per portion, how much did they spend on these two large pots! They can brag about these red lobsters for years.
It also made them swear in their hearts that they must follow the county lady and work hard, not be lazy, and not betray her.
Zheng Sisi prepared a table for the Third Prince, Magistrate Cao, and Lawyer He. She, a few sisters, and four maids sat at another table. There were originally five of them, but Liu Cuier insisted on eating with her family, to accompany her parents and brother. Zheng Sisi did not force her and let her go as long as she felt comfortable.
There were ten dishes on the two tables, with a large pot of red lobster in the middle. Magistrate Cao and Lawyer He's eyes widened. They calculated in their minds. They had just seen the prices on the menu. They thought that this meal would cost ten taels of silver. The county lady was really generous.
Moreover, they had never eaten these dishes, and some of them they had never even seen. The two of them came from the capital, and were from a wealthy family in the capital. They had eaten countless delicacies from the mountains and the sea, but they could not name the dishes on the table. Was it because they had been away from the capital for too long and were out of date?
No wonder guests clamor for more dishes during meal time. The aroma and color are so good that anyone would want more.
In the evening, everyone helped in the restaurant and knew how to eat red crayfish, so Zheng Sisi didn't need to teach them.
Zheng Sisi said that after the meal started, everyone rushed to eat the red lobsters first. Some even took the shrimps with soup at the bottom and were unwilling to let go even though they were screaming "ooh oh oh" from the heat, which made people around them laugh.
The red crayfish were imported, and everyone said: "Delicious! Delicious!"
