Chapter 243 Steam Pot Chicken Takeaway
Chapter 243 Steam Pot Chicken Takeaway
Zhao Xiuwan changed the name of her restaurant to Hongyunlou, which means good luck.
She was so unlucky before, I hope this restaurant can bring her good luck.
But unfortunately, the Caidiexuan opened on the same day as the restaurant.
After all, that day was a good day for the opening of a new shop. But she didn't know that Caidiexuan was opened by Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning together.
However, the location of Hongyun Restaurant was good. Even though the owner and brand had changed, the restaurant had been in business for many years and had accumulated a group of old customers. In addition, the new waiter named Yao Xin had worked in the previous restaurant for many years and was very familiar with the habits of many old customers. Therefore, he helped Zhao Xiuwan to attract a lot of business, so that her new restaurant would not be as bleak as Caidiexuan. In addition, Qian Feng vigorously promoted the restaurant in the military camp, so many people from the military camp came to dine there, which also helped a lot of business.
Therefore, the business of Hongyunlou is still good at present.
However, as Caidiexuan became more and more famous, Zhao Xiuwan began to want to find out more.
At first, when she heard that Caidiexuan was giving away soup and tea for three days, she was not interested. She just thought it was a trick to attract customers. In addition, the location of Caidiexuan was a bit remote. Who in the city would be willing to go to the suburbs? But after three days, Caidiexuan became famous. Even the guests who dined in her Hongyun Building mentioned Caidiexuan from time to time. She really couldn't help her curiosity.
In addition, Nangong Rui was late, so she felt a little restless in the store.
Caidiexuan was opened by Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning, but in the military camp, both Wei Ling and Xie Yingfeng kept their mouths shut.
It’s not that they would feel ashamed for their wives to show up in public. On the contrary, both Wei Ling and Xie Yingfeng strongly support their wives in finding something they like to do.
Although one of them was once a son of an aristocratic family and the other a scholar, after experiencing the days of exile, they knew what was precious and real. Compared to those false names, living a real life and marital harmony were what they really wanted.
Besides, with the two of them around, who would dare to look down on Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning?
This is not the capital, so there is no need to take those empty and unrealistic things to heart.
The reason why the two of them did not publicize it was that they did not want anyone in the army or in the city to dine at Caidiexuan just to please them.
Both Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning want to gain a foothold in this world through their own labor and abilities. As their husbands, I must give them unconditional support.
Besides, they both wanted to see how far Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning could go.
For Wei Ling, he has even more confidence in Su Jixiang, not only because Su Jixiang's cooking skills are top-notch, but also because of Su Jixiang's endless ideas and new things... In Wei Ling's view, Su Jixiang is like a treasure, and you can never guess what kind of surprise she will bring you next time.
"Boss, I heard that Lord Nangong has separated from his family and has been expelled from the Nangong family!" Yao Xin was sent by Zhao Xiuwan to find out about Nangong Rui. He came back and said to Zhao Xiuwan. "It is said that he has sold himself to a family. But the Nangong family didn't say where he sold himself to..."
"What?" Zhao Xiuwan was stunned when she heard it. "He sold himself? Why did he sell himself?"
"I heard that the old man from the Nangong family asked him for money, otherwise he would not split the family!" Yao Xin told him everything he could find out.
Zhao Xiuwan frowned after hearing this, "How can he be so confused! Selling oneself is a status of a lowly person. If he gets married, the child he has will also be a status of a lowly person... So he is not planning to start a family?"
Yao Xin shook his head, "I don't know about that. But Boss, why are you so concerned about Lord Nangong's affairs?" He couldn't help but ask.
When he was working as a waiter in this restaurant, he knew that Zhao Xiuwan had told their previous employer that Nangong Rui would not be charged a penny if he came to eat.
"Why are you asking so many questions?" Zhao Xiuwan was startled, then her eyes widened. "He and my husband are as close as brothers. Now that he's in trouble, how can I just ignore him?"
Yao Xin quickly bowed, "No, no. I'm just curious. If the boss is angry, does he want to find out where this Nangong sold himself to?"
"Forget it." Zhao Xiuwan waved her hand. Asking Yao Xin to inquire again would inevitably seem too deliberate.
It would be better to go back and ask Qian Feng about this matter.
After all, Qian Feng and Nangong Rui had a good relationship before. Even if Nangong Rui sold himself, Qian Feng should know where Nangong Rui was.
But Zhao Xiuwan felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
Even if this fool Nangong Rui wanted to break away from his family, he didn't need to sell himself!
She was a little distracted while sitting in her own restaurant...
"Madam, you are here after all." Qian Feng's voice was heard at the door. Zhao Xiuwan came back to her senses and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
Then Qian Feng's tall figure appeared in front of him, holding a large bag with something wrapped inside.
"Come here, come here, I queued up very hard to buy it, and it is delivered here quickly. Drink it while it's hot!" Qian Feng put the big bag on the table, then opened the bag, revealing a clay jar inside.
"This is..." Zhao Xiuwan looked at Qian Feng in confusion. He opened the lid of the earthenware jar, and a strong aroma of chicken soup floated out of the jar. "It's just a bowl of chicken soup. I run a restaurant here. What? Do you think our chef can't make a bowl of chicken soup?" Zhao Xiuwan said disdainfully after seeing what was in the jar.
"Madam, of course we have chicken soup here. But this is different." Qian Feng looked at Zhao Xiuwan flatteringly, "This is the steamed chicken from Caidiexuan that I queued up to buy this morning. When Caidiexuan heard that I was buying it home, they gave me a clay pot as a gift."
This earthenware jar is not valuable, only five cents each, and it is just an ordinary earthenware jar for soup.
When Su Jixiang asked someone to make a steamer, she also ordered a lot of these most common earthenware jars. If someone wanted to buy one to take home for soup, she would give it to them.
Of course, the words "Cai Die Xuan" were engraved on the earthenware jar as a promotional tool.
"Steamed pot chicken?" Zhao Xiuwan immediately became excited. She had originally wanted to go to Caidiexuan and try the legendary steamed pot chicken, but she didn't expect Qian Feng to buy it for her. "It's just ordinary chicken soup. I don't know why everyone is bragging about it!" But she still said it with disdain.
