uite happy.When several figures disappeared at the end of the path, Mu suddenly asked about Zongbai."Your older brother, what the heck is he up to"Zong Bai was taken aback, and a flicker of guilt flas...Chapter 1111: How can this end
Jiang's purpose in opening this restaurant wasn't to make money. Each of the major restaurants in Beijing had its own unique features and reputation, and it wouldn't be easy to capture their business in such a short time.
And he's not good at making wine either.
Therefore, he sought an alternative approach. He planned to use low prices to pressure and bankrupt some smaller-scale restaurants first. Once they were struggling financially, he would acquire them at a low price and hire their original staff to continue operating the businesses.
As long as everything goes smoothly, all the restaurants in the capital city besides those few well-established ones will hang up the Jiang family's sign.
Therefore, the store buys the cheapest ingredients they can find.
Fang Jinxiu waited for a while, and the other dishes were served one after another. She took a bite and tasted it. To be honest, it wasn't bad. The salty and savory flavors were just right.
At such a low price, it certainly meets the needs of ordinary people.
But for someone like Fang Jinshu who has been accustomed to eating ingredients cultivated with spiritual spring water for a long time, the food at this restaurant is undoubtedly tasteless, bland as chewing wax.
Her taste has been cultivated unknowingly.
"Shopkeeper, didn't you say there were live lobsters Why haven't they been served yet"
"You're not serious, are you" Mujin questioned, her voice laced with anger.
The shop owner has been wiping sweat.
Of course not, how dare I, a lowly one, deceive such a distinguished guest.
"I guess the kitchen is still busy, we are short-staffed, and I hope our guests can bear with us. I'll go to the kitchen right now to see what's going on and help speed up your order."
Fang Jinshi nodded and waved him away.
Hibiscus walked back, puzzled.
"Madam, these vegetables are so cheap. Even if the shop is crowded with customers every day, I'm afraid they wouldn't make much profit, would they"
Fang Jinshi took a sip of tea and smiled.
"The shopkeeper looked at us like he was looking at two fat sheep. If he wasn't trying to make money, would he personally attend to me in such a busy situation"
Mu Jin also found it strange.
"If they weren't making money, what kind of restaurant would they be running They're just doing charity work to help the people"
At this, Fang Jinshu let out a chuckle.
I wonder if Yuan Xiang would find this ironic.
To relieve the people, is to possibly fall into a quagmire of a trap where one eats flesh and spits out bones.
"The dishes are here! Wild lobster is here!" The shopkeeper shouted from afar.
He personally served Fang Jinshu the freshly cooked wild lobster.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Fang Jinxiu was full of anticipation.
"Steamed lobster meat is here."
The shopkeeper slapped the dishes onto the table. The anticipation on her face vanished at a visible speed, replaced by a hint of anger.
Then, pointing at the plate where a tiny shrimp, barely as long as her finger, was still lying, she managed to force down the twitching of her lip and asked.
"This is, the wild spiny lobster you caught from the East China Sea"
This was the first time Fang Jinshu had been deceived to such an extent in her life!
Is this bullying her blindness or taking her for a fool
She had never encountered such an absurd thing: selling farmed crayfish from a sewer as wild sea lobster.
The shopkeeper nodded with certainty, still enthusiastically introducing Fang Jinshu to the others.
"Yes, look at the way this shrimp is shaped. It's so different from the common shrimp we eat. Look at its whiskers and those big pincers."
Don't be fooled by its ugly exterior, the shrimp meat inside is particularly firm and sweet.
"Why don't I peel one for you to try"
Fang Jinshi couldn't bear it any longer, "Stand there!"
"Well, well, well. This is the first time I've ever been treated like a fool."
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, not understanding what she meant. Could it be that she had never eaten a giant lobster before and didn't know any better
"Just tell me, this dish," Fang Jinshi really couldn't bring herself to say the three words "giant lobster."
"How much silver for this plate of shrimp"
The shopkeeper chuckled and extended five fingers.
"Five taels"
"This is cargo shipped here by seawater, how could it only be five ounces Distinguished guest, you are truly jesting."
"This plate of shrimp would certainly not be expensive for distinguished guests, just a mere fifty taels."
At this moment, Fang Jinxiu's desire to kill reached its peak.
"How much do you want to sell this plate of shrimp for"
"Fifty taels."
She really wanted to slap him with a whole bunch of Chinese classics!
"You really dare to ask for it."
With a look from Fang Jinshu, Mu Jin immediately picked up the plate of shrimp and slammed it to the ground, smashing it to pieces.
The moment it appeared, everything became chaotic.
Yes, she's here to make a scene! That's why she made such a grand entrance today.
A few days ago, she sent someone to Jiang's mansion, but couldn't find Jiang Chuang. Fang Jinyu then guessed that he might be hiding from her.
Now, I think it's probably settled.
If you have time to go to a restaurant but no time to see her, then you're not avoiding her for any other reason.
"What are you doing!"
"Guards, someone is causing trouble, arrest them!"
The shopkeeper finally reacted, realizing that the two women in front of him weren't there to eat sincerely, but to cause trouble.
He was blinded by the reward money, he couldn't see clearly. The young master's restaurant welcomed all sorts of people from the lower classes; you could find anyone there.
Those kinds of high-class, rich daughters would never patronize their shop.
Fang Jinxiu caused such a commotion that many of the diners in the restaurant ran away. She and Mujin smashed anything they could get their hands on, and the staff chased them up and down the floors desperately trying to shoo them away.
But no matter how they tried to drive her out, Fang Jinshu didn't run out the door, and even chased away the remaining guests.
The shopkeeper saw this and was about to go mad. He hurriedly called the waiter over.
"Quick! Go and report to Master Jiang that someone is causing a disturbance and wrecking the place, hurry!"
When Fang Jinxiu saw the shopkeeper's men leave, she finally stopped.
She is physically strong, and even normal men might not be able to outrun her.
Those chasing her were panting like oxen, sweating buckets, while she remained unfazed.
"You're running a scam operation! You cheated me out of my money, and now you're passing off small lobsters as giant sea lobsters. Do you really think I'm blind and clueless"
“This is outrageous!”
"I want to call your boss out here and ask him face-to-face, does he have a conscience running this kind of shady establishment Did a dog eat his conscience"
The shopkeeper, upon hearing this, immediately became flustered.
The young master said that the prices of dishes must never be raised at night, and he selfishly raised the price to fleece the fat sheep. If the young master found out, he would be afraid to avoid being punished.
He was so quick with his words just now, he immediately had someone go look for the young master. Now I regret letting anyone go.
He hurriedly called out to Fang Jinshu.
"If you're not satisfied with the food at our restaurant, I won't charge you a penny."
But you broke the store and chased away all the customers! You have to pay for this loss!
Fang Jinshi only thought it was funny.
She's not paying a dime.
"Okay, I'll pay. When your boss arrives, if he admits this is a den of thieves and that you tricked me by passing off crayfish as lobsters, and apologizes to me, then I'll pay up."
"The old woman has plenty of silver, this small amount of money is nothing to her."
But I cannot forgive you for treating me like a fool!
The shopkeeper wished he was dead with regret, knowing he shouldn't have asked for fifty taels. Even ten taels would have been enough to make a profit. It was all his greed that caused this trouble.
If the young master found out, he would be dead for sure. How could this end wellrson was bought to be trained""If they're not truly sincere and willing to go back with me willingly, wouldn't it be even more time-consuming and laborious to train them"Fu Shangyuan raised an eyebrow...
