Chapter 107
The young man was handsome and talented and was an expert in business. He had a good impression of Jiang Yun Zhu.
However...
Jiang Yun Zhu declined politely, and left with everyone.
"Oh!" Boss Luo was heartbroken. The golden phoenix flew away and a good opportunity was missed. This was more uncomfortable than never encountering it. Thinking of this, he squinted at the young man, blaming him for not being promising.
The young man rubbed his nose. What did this have to do with him? He had tried his best, but the other party didn’t take a fancy. What could he do?
When Boss Luo and his son came over, Xue Jing and others were present.
After leaving Luo's house, Xue Jing snuck a glance at Jiang Yun Zhu. He worried for her. In fact, he felt Boss Luo's son was pretty good. Boss Luo climbed up from the bottom, which was similar to Jiang Yun Zhu's experience. If Jiang Yun Zhu married into his family, the Luo Family would only treat her well.
Of course, he knew why Jiang Yun Zhu didn't agree. That Official Shen… He was good-looking.
Xue Jing felt that his limited brain wasn't enough to think about these things. He let go after pondering about it for a while. He believed in Jiang Yun Zhu.
Unlike him, Jin Jiao Yue and the others were worried about their Commissioner-in-chief Shen. Commissioner-in-chief Shen was always so cold. Could he embrace the beauty? What if Jiang Yun Zhu liked someone else... They dare not think about it and didn't want to think about it.
Everyone returned to Shiguang Restaurant. The front of the restaurant was full of people. After Master Bai and the others returned home. Some found the invitation. Some did not. While some were shocked to find that someone was one step ahead and bought the invitation.
Everyone was in business. They immediately thought of a lot and hurriedly sent people to Shiguang Restaurant. Some wanted to invite Jiang Yun Zhu to the Manor to make a banquet. Some wanted to directly hire Jiang Yun Zhu into the Manor. And some simply wanted to eat Jiang Yun Zhu's cooking. Once there’s a crowd, chaos and noise is guaranteed.
Jiang Yun Zhu was very tired after a busy day.
"I'll leave it to you." She directed to Jin Jiao Yue.
Jin Jiao Yue had a smile all over her face.
"Don't worry, boss." She liked doing this kind of thing the most.
Jiang Yun Zhu went through the side door back to the room to rest. Jin Jiao Yue raised her chin slightly and walked toward the people in front of the door.
Immediately, someone recognized that she was the person who sent the invite back then and surrounded her.
"I'm the Manager of Shiguang Private Restaurant. If you have any questions, you can tell me." Jin Jiao Yue stood on the steps in front of the restaurant, looking down at the crowd.
Everyone didn't feel that there was anything wrong and started asking questions.
"Did your restaurant make the banquet at Boss Luo's house?" someone asked.
Jin Jiao Yue nodded.
Everyone sizzled like they were being deep-fried.
"Our Master would like to invite you to make a banquet at the Manor." Someone spoke first.
"Sorry, this restaurant isn't accepting banquet requests now."
"Why not? Didn't you go to Boss Luo's house to make one today. How much did Boss Luo pay? Our Master will pay double." The housekeeper-like man harrumphed.
"Our Master has the same intention. Our Master will triple the price." There was someone next to him who was rich and powerful.
"Our Master pays four times."
The few of them almost got into a fight.
Jin Jiao Yue didn't even look at them and answered other people's questions.
"Our Master wants to meet the owner of your restaurant." The man said.
"Sorry, our boss won't see outsiders." Jin Jiao Yue replied.
"Do you know who our master is?" the man stated, Their master's surname was Bai.
Jin Jiao Yue almost rolled her eyes. Who cared who he was? Can he take a sword slash of hers? If he could, come.
She looked at the person near the side.
"When does your restaurant open? Our Master wants to come over for a meal." The man asked.
Everyone quieted down.
"The business opens at noon and 5pm every day. The daily menu is determined by the store owner on the very day. Every day at noon and evening, there are twelve tables available. You can make reservations three days in advance." Jin Jiao Yue explained.
"I want to make a reservation." "I want to make a reservation." "I want to make a reservation too." Everyone scrambled to say.
Soon, all the reservations for the three days were fully booked and there were still many people who hadn't got a table.
Then someone asked, "With that invitation, can we come to eat at any time?"
"En." Jin Jiao Yue replied.
Those who had invitations were overjoyed. They were about to say that their master would bring the invitation over when Jin Jiao Yue calmly stated, "Please think it over. The invitations can only be used once."
Those who had invitations were silent. Since they could only use them once, they have to wait until the critical moment.
At noon the next day, the first wave of customers came to Shiguang Restaurant for a meal.
Today, Jiang Yun Zhu's menu was ten dishes, including Taibai Duck, Luoyang Yancai, Fish Slice in Milk Sauce, Eight Treasure Rabbit Cube, etc. Among the ten dishes, seven of them were impossible for everyone to find outside.
And today she mixed a new wine called Flowing. This wine seemed to have clusters of green lights floating on the surface of the cup. After drinking it, it made people feel fascinated.
It seemed that the cook of Shiguang Restaurant was indeed the one who helped Boss Luo organize the banquet. The Taibai Duck and Luoyang Swallow Dish, no, all the dishes made were unique. And the wine! Don't know how many new wines there were.
The customers who have eaten wished to live in the restaurant permanently and taste the food and drink fine wine in the restaurant every day.
It was a pity that they couldn't. They couldn't make a reservation for the future table
"Keep an eye and must make an appointment for me." Everyone ordered their housekeeper.
The housekeepers felt miserable. They wanted to make a reservation, but it was too difficult.
Overnight, Shiguang's private restaurant became very popular.
In two days' time, the wealthy merchants in the capital would no longer hold banquets. What was the point of hosting a banquet? No matter how good their cooks were, could they be as good as the cooks of Shiguang Private Kitchen Restaurant?
It wasn't as good. So what was the point of throwing a banquet?
If one wants to invite everyone to a banquet, might as well reserve a spot at Shiguang Restaurant and invite them along. It would be more face-garnering.
The invitations that Jin Jiao Yue sent out at that time became the new favorites of wealthy businessmen. It was heard that one invitation was now sold at a high price of one thousand liang silver.
Afterward, everyone was mad at Jing Cheng Yan. He bought their invitations.
Jing Cheng Yan didn't care at all. The Jing Family was one of the richest merchants. He wasn't afraid of them. Even his father praised him two days ago! This was the first time his father praised him this year.
Though it was fine to praise him, wanting to take the opportunity to get an invitation from him was a no-no.
Shiguang Restaurant became popular among wealthy businessmen and gradually, more and more people knew about this restaurant.
Madam Yang had been occupied these few days. She couldn't come to Shiguang Restaurant and had been thinking about it all the time. On this day, she brought the children to the restaurant, but was told that there was no room?
"What's going on?" she asked.
Jin Jiao Yue was a little conflicted. She told Madam Yang about the rules of the restaurant.
"Needs to be booked three days in advance." Madam Yang was a little disappointed. It meant that she wouldn't be able to eat the food in the restaurant until three days at the earliest?
"Mom." The little girl next to her tugged at her hand and gave her the puppy eyes. She wanted to eat the delicious things inside.
Madam Yang stood there, hesitating. If she revealed her identity, the owner of the restaurant would welcome her. But for a meal, it didn't seem worth it. If spread out, it seemed like she was abusing power.
At this time, Jin Jiao Yue next to her was hesitating whether to tell Jiang Yun Zhu about this.
Jiang Yun Zhu seemed to have a good relationship with their deputy chief. If she knew that Madam Yang was coming, she probably would let her stay.
At this moment, a young man in brocade clothes came in with a few yamen servants.
Seeing Jin Jiao Yue, the young man in brocade clothes sneered and led the group over.
Jin Jiao Yue remembered him. That day a wealthy businessman surnamed Qin invited him to dinner. After eating the food in the restaurant, he was full of praise. The next day, he came to the restaurant again and wanted to have a meal.
But there was no room left in the store. This gentleman in brocade clothes revealed his identity. It turned out that his surname was Liang. He was the son of Jingzhao Governor.
Jingzhao Governor was in charge of the internal and external affairs of the capital. If it was another store or another manager, they would obediently invite Gentleman Liang into the store. But to Jin Jiao Yue, was Jingzhao Governor very powerful? When was it his son's turn to bully others here?
She didn't give Gentleman Liang any face.
Gentleman Liang was annoyed. He thought about how to let Jin Jiao Yue know how powerful he was when he returned home.
So today he brought the yamen servants from Jingzhao Manor.
"The things in this store aren't clean. Search! If you find any suspicious things, show them to me." Gentleman Liang ordered.
When the yamen servants heard this, they immediately grabbed the swords in their hands and headed to the back. It didn’t matter if they found suspicious things or not. As long as they make such a fuss, the restaurant would not be able to do business. At that time, they would have to come beg their gentleman.
The smile on Jin Jiao Yue's face withered. They dare!
With that in mind, she touched the dagger at the back of her waist.
Most people in Qilin Guards were good at using swords, but they didn't all use long swords. For example, Jin Jiao Yue used to be a spy. She used daggers that were one palm long. The whole body of this sword was pitch black without a glint. Still, it cut iron like mud. When it was swung, the enemy may have died under the sword without even seeing what it was.
Jin Jiao Yue was no longer a spy, but this sword still followed her.
At this time, Zhan Chang Chuan held her arm and shook his head at her. They were no longer the Qilin Guards. They cannot use weapons without authorization. They should leave this matter to the Qilin Guards.
Gentleman Liang had no position, but arbitrarily mobilized the staff of Jingzhao Manor to bully others. He had violated the law. The people of Qilin Guards would deal with him.
Jin Jiao Yue bit her lip, feeling a little regretful. Sure enough, she was too impulsive.
The two of them thought like this, but in the eyes of Gentleman Liang and Madam Yang, it looked different.
Jin Jiao Yue looked aggrieved and helpless, while Zhan Chang Chuan wanted to comfort her, but there was nothing he could do.
When Gentleman Liang saw this, his expression became more and more complacent. If they knew this earlier, why bother.
"Where is your store owner? Let her come out to see me." He shouted. He had heard that the owner of this restaurant seemed to be a very beautiful girl. Today he was in a good mood. Perfect time to meet her.
As soon as he said this, even Zhan Chang Chuan wanted to draw a sword. He dared to have such an idea!
At the side, Madam Yang frowned. She had a good impression of Jiang Yun Zhu as she was generous and not arrogant. Moreover, as a female, it wasn't easy for her to open a restaurant in the capital
This young man in brocade clothes was obviously a bully.
"Halt." She said in a deep voice.
Go Madam Yang!! Thank you for the chapter!
