Chapter 454: Restaurant Business is Booming
Several people helped Madam Zheng get out of the car. Seeing the crowds coming in and out of the restaurant, Madam Zheng said, "Why do I feel like the business is as good as that of Yingbinlou!" Several people just smiled when they heard that.
By the time Sheng Zhen and the others arrived, the carriages at the door had taken up a lot of space, making the already crowded street even more crowded.
Zheng Sisi and Sheng Zhen looked at each other, feeling helpless. They didn't expect Qingshui County to become like this in just a few months. They didn't know whether to laugh or worry.
Zheng Sisi said to Captain Liu who had dismounted, "Captain Liu, go in and ask Manager Gao which street has less traffic so we can drive the carriage over there."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Captain Liu handed the reins to someone else and rushed into the restaurant in a few steps.
In the restaurant, Manager Gao was very busy, counting the beads on the abacus very quickly. When he heard someone shouting, he looked up and was stunned for a moment when he saw Captain Liu.
I thought: "Isn't Captain Liu with the princess? Why is he here? Could it be that the princess is here too?"
A few days ago, Magistrate Cao went to the restaurant specifically to inform them that the county lady had been promoted to princess, which made everyone in the restaurant very excited.
Seeing Captain Liu now, Shopkeeper Gao became excited, pointing his finger at Captain Liu and actually stuttering: "You, you, why are you here, you are here! The princess is here too?"
Captain Liu nodded: "They are all here, but the problem is that business is too good to come in. Do you know of a street nearby where we can park a horse carriage?"
Manager Gao gave some instructions and walked out of the counter, pulling Captain Liu towards the door. He was so excited that his steps seemed a little unsteady.
When he arrived at the door and saw that all the bosses had arrived, he grinned and shouted, "Hello, bosses!" He was smart enough not to shout out any titles, for fear of causing a sensation among the diners and the people.
Several people responded: "Hello, Manager Gao!"
Zheng Sisi said, "Manager Gao, we want to find a place to park the carriage. We can't park it at the door. The streets are too crowded and it will affect business."
Shopkeeper Gao took a look and was shocked. Oh my god! There were so many carriages that they couldn't fit on a normal street.
He thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Boss, there is really not enough space on the normal streets. Now, all the streets are open and there are a lot of people, but there is a place to park."
Sheng Zhen was also curious: "Where?"
Shopkeeper Gao pointed at the government office with a smile and said, "Now only the entrance to the county magistrate's mansion is more spacious, haha!"
Zheng Sisi was speechless. She had been thinking about not alerting Magistrate Cao for the time being, but now it seemed that there was no way out. It wasn't far anyway, so she could just ask someone to park the car over there.
She said to Captain Liu, "Captain Liu, take your men to stop the carriage and leave a few people to guard it. You can come back to eat and pack the food for them to take over later."
"Okay, girl!" Captain Liu replied, and then led the coachmen and the carriage towards the county government office.
Manager Gao welcomed everyone into the restaurant, but he looked embarrassed.
Zheng Sisi saw through it, and she said directly, "Manager Gao, is it because the restaurant is so popular that there is no room left?"
Shopkeeper Gao nodded and bowed: "Boss, you really have a keen eye! There is indeed no vacant seat right now. You all would like to wait in the backyard. I will arrange a table for you when there is one in the front."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Zheng Sisi said, "Okay, you arrange it. By the way, let me introduce you to my grandparents."
Manager Gao knew that the princess's grandfather was a killer who galloped on the battlefield and a hero praised by the people of Dai Yue. He bowed to the two and said, "Hello, old master, hello, old lady!"
Old Duke Zheng nodded with a smile, and Old Madam Zheng said with a smile, "Good! Good! Hello to you too!"
Such a group of people standing in the hall were very conspicuous, and Manager Gao even bowed and nodded to personally receive them, which had attracted the attention of many people.
Sheng Zhen noticed this and said, "Let's go to the backyard first. Someone is already paying attention to this side."
Zheng Sisi said, "Okay, Manager Gao, you go ahead and do your thing, we'll go in by ourselves."
"Okay!" Zheng Sisi made a gesture of invitation and led people to the backyard.
Manager Gao returned to his post, but before he started working, some sharp-eyed and sharp-eared people came to inquire who the people were. They seemed to be from a wealthy family, so why did they go to the backyard?
Manager Gao is also a shrewd person, because many people have come to inquire about the boss's affairs, some are looking for opportunities for cooperation, and some are just curious and want to see the boss's true face.
Manager Gao said, "It's just an old customer. There's no room upstairs. Let's arrange for them to rest in the backyard first, and then arrange for them to sit down again when a seat becomes available."
The diners did not get the information they wanted, so they could only go back to continue eating in disappointment, but they still felt that Manager Gao was not telling the truth.
A customer at the counter said, "Manager Gao, please help me pay the bill!"
