Chapter 543 Another Big Order 3
Wenbin was so busy he was dizzy, and the other staff members were also working so hard their hands were blurry, all afraid that if they packed too slowly, the customers would be dissatisfied.
She was also afraid that if she was too slow, the customers waiting in line behind her would get impatient.
All I can say is that although these young men earn a lot of money, such as a few taels of silver a month, they are really tired when they are tired.
Don't say that waiters in restaurants are also tired. When it's not mealtime, waiters can catch their breath.
The young men at Liuxiang Pavilion didn't even have time to drink water or go to the toilet from the moment the doors opened. Even if they needed to go, they had to rush and change shifts.
Wenbin was so busy that he almost forgot about the distinguished guests upstairs. After all, he would always go upstairs to greet such distinguished guests in the past.
But he couldn't care less now. He had to take care of the distinguished guests, but Wangchuan downstairs couldn't handle it all by himself.
Although the staff can do the math, there aren't enough people to pack the food right now, so we can't spare anyone to do the accounting.
When Wenbin was finally able to go upstairs for a look, he happened to run into the noblewoman's head maid coming downstairs.
"Is the shopkeeper finished with his work?"
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, my shop has reopened after half a month, and many old customers have come after hearing about it. Today, however, we were not well prepared and our hospitality has been inadequate."
The head maid didn't say anything excessive, only that her mistress had already selected the items and asked Wenbin to go and settle the bill.
Wenbin turned around, took the abacus and account books, and followed the head maid upstairs.
"May your business prosper, sir."
The lady's voice was very pleasant, and she tried her best to minimize the sense of distance with her kind tone.
"Thank you for your kind words. Today has indeed exceeded my expectations."
“These things look quite nice. My wife wants ten sets of each. Shopkeeper, please send someone to prepare them as soon as possible. We have a horse-drawn cart with us to load them.”
Once you've calculated the price and selected the goods, you can simply load them onto the truck.
The reason why certain items are subject to purchase restrictions is because they are expensive; even without restrictions, not many people would buy them in bulk.
These days, she's buying limited-purchase items by the truckload, which shows just how wealthy and powerful this lady must be.
Without hesitation, Wenbin immediately called Wangchuan and Aniu to the warehouse.
After all, the space inside the counter is limited, so only a portion of it is displayed.
If this lady only wants the limited-purchase items, she'll have to go to the warehouse to get them.
Ah Niu was strong, and Wang Chuan was good at math. The two of them worked together and loaded all the goods the noblewoman wanted onto the cart in no time.
The noblewoman's head maid didn't bother to count the money carefully; she just glanced at it a few times and then paid with the silver notes.
Wenbin, who was used to large orders and grand occasions, couldn't help but get excited.
This is an order worth over ten thousand taels of silver, which is higher than the total turnover of the entire first floor today.
A radiant smile graced the face of everyone in Liuxiang Pavilion, even more radiant than the formulaic smiles they had practiced a thousand times over.
This bonus is going to skyrocket! It'll be more than enough to get married, and it could even buy a new house.
Houses in their suburban counties are not as expensive as those in the inner city; you can buy a large brick house for a few dozen or a hundred yuan.
If you don't mind the hassle, you can buy a plot of land according to your own needs and find someone to build a new house yourself.
Those smiles aren't for the customers; they're clearly for their own future grand houses.
The noblewoman went downstairs and boarded the most luxurious carriage at the front, while the people of Liuxiang Pavilion lined up to pay their respects and see her off.
"What are you waiting for? There are still customers in the shop. Don't slack off. Tonight, the biggest cyclamen restaurant in the capital is open to the public, and I'll be treating!"
Wow, Cyclamen! Everyone's eyes lit up immediately. It's the Cyclamen that costs two taels of silver even for the cheapest dish!
It's the Xiankelai, where even the cheapest wine costs ten taels a pot, and it's the Xiankelai that even the children of officials and the wealthy dare not easily spend money on!
The head manager was overjoyed and actually wanted to take all of them to Xiankelai!
Forget it, forget it. The head manager will sober up once he's had his fill of joy. Let's not argue now.
To everyone's surprise, Manager Wen not only brought them to Xiankelai, but also ordered the best banquet.
Eighty-eight taels per table, which was just enough for one table, even though there weren't many of them.
Spending nearly a hundred taels of silver on a single meal is something they would never do, no matter how extravagant they are.
This is insane! Absolutely insane! The head manager is completely overwhelmed by the orders.
Just as everyone hesitated to pick up their chopsticks, Wenbin said, "What are you standing there for? This is the boss's order!"
"Our master has been in the capital for so long, yet he has never tasted a meal served at a cyclamen banquet. Now we are the first to do so, to taste it for him and see what makes this nearly hundred-tael feast so special."
"Oh my, my dear manager, how can you be so honest? The master said to come to Xiankelai, and you brought us here. You really don't know how to save the master money."
Besides, what are we all? We're just lowly waiters. Everyone who comes to Xiankelai is either rich or noble, so there's no need for us to put on a show.
Just order a few hearty dishes from that little roadside shop, and the drinks are very cheap there too.
Wenbin sighed and glared at the waiter who had spoken. "What, do you still doubt that the boss really invited you to Xiankelai for dinner?"
The owner had anticipated that the store would be unusually busy today, and you all have been working overtime; the owner knows all of this.
Only then did I think of rewarding all the employees, and you bunch of rascals don't appreciate it at all.
Ah Niu and Wang Chuan had become numb to their master's extravagant spending, and they often used the master's expensive spices to barbecue meat in the suburbs.
Those spices were extremely rare and expensive in the market; only wealthy people could buy some when foreign merchants came.
Even if I bought it, I wouldn't use it extensively. Let alone for grilling meat, I mostly used it to scent clothes or ground it into powder and added to perfume powder for slow use.
The crowd fell silent. After all, the meal was already served and there was no way to back out. If they said they didn't want it now, they would probably get their legs broken and be thrown out by the thugs from the restaurant.
Or will they be detained and forced to wash dishes in the kitchen?
It has to be said that young people have a rich imagination, even more so than the dishes at Cyclamen.
The dishes at Cyclamen are expensive, partly because the ingredients are carefully selected and of high quality, and partly because the chefs there are said to have ancestors who were imperial chefs.
Furthermore, Cyclamen is the largest restaurant in Beijing, and also the one with the most floors, giving it a significant advantage in terms of building area over other restaurants.
Several factors combined, along with Cyclamen's high prices, gradually made it the number one restaurant in Beijing.
Ignoring everyone else, Wenbin started eating first.
This dish is roasted pigeon. Although it is roasted, the meat is not dry at all, and it is crispy yet tender.
"Alright, try it quickly, it'll be a waste of these eighty-eight taels of silver if it gets cold!"
