Chapter 259: Linjiang Tower (second update)
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiluo couldn't help but think about Cui Hejin.
Can't help but worry about him.
Worried that he is too hot in school.
Lectures on such a hot day must be quite hard.
Cui Qingci looked at the sky and calculated the time. It was almost time for her eldest brother's school to have a holiday.
“If my eldest brother knows that you are here, sister-in-law, I will definitely want to come and accompany my sister-in-law after class.”
Since arriving in Donghe Village, after more than a month of observation, she found that her eldest brother didn't seem to talk much, but in fact he cared about and loved his sister-in-law.
She could clearly see the care and love hidden in her eyes.
Her eldest brother was not like this before.
In the past, her eldest brother always had cold eyes when facing anyone.
As if he were not interested in anything, and looked like he was indifferent to the world.
It was very lonely.
From her point of view, it is like a cold lotus on a snow-capped mountain. She can only look at it, and will be frozen if she gets close.
But now her eldest brother obviously has normal emotions.
But she didn’t know if it was her imagination. Sometimes she felt that her elder brother was restraining something.
Jiang Zhiluo originally wanted to pick up Cui Hejin, but she thought about it and said, "We still have a lot of things to do, so we'd better not go to the school. We'll go home and rest early after class."
Cui Qingci is used to it. Her sister-in-law looks very busy, but she is actually thinking about her eldest brother all the time.
They obviously care about each other, but they always feel that something is missing, as if there is a layer of paper in the middle.
Cui Qingci thought of this and shook her head. She thought that she must have thought wrong.
Her eldest brother and sister-in-law are both married, so there must be times when they are intimate in private.
Maybe he is more restrained in front of others.
…
Jiang Zhiluo naturally didn't know that Cui Qingci had made up a lot of things automatically.
She was driving the bullock cart towards the restaurant.
Passing a Baixianglou restaurant on the road, Cui Qingci saw that Jiang Zhiluo did not stop the oxcart and asked, "Sister-in-law, aren't we going to a restaurant?"
Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said: "If you don't go to this restaurant, let's go to Linjiang Tower!"
Cui Qingci said: "Sister-in-law, I found that the business of Baixiang Tower is better than that of Linjiang Tower."
Jiang Zhiluo explained: "Your brother told me about Baixiang House and Linjiang House. Linjiang House is an old restaurant in the town, but Baixiang House just opened not long ago."
“Baixianglou has introduced many of the same dishes as Linjianglou, as well as some fresh dishes, and the prices are cheaper, so it has attracted a lot of customers. Linjianglou is now a little deserted.”
Cui Qingci didn't know why and said: "Then shouldn't we go to Baixiang Building to sell preserved eggs? If the business in Linjiang Building is deserted, we won't pay for preserved eggs, right?"
Jiang Zhiluo said patiently: "I remember the earliest days when it rained heavily. At that time, our family didn't even have an umbrella, not even a raincoat."
"I was worried about your eldest brother getting caught in the rain at that time, but when your eldest brother came back he brought an umbrella. I heard my mother say that it was the umbrella borrowed by Manager Feng."
“Later I learned that Manager Feng from Linjiang Tower was a good person. He would lend some of the raincoat umbrellas in the restaurant to acquaintances who came over to borrow them.”
“Even if passers-by go to the restaurant to take shelter from the rain without eating, he will let them go and will not allow the waiter to chase them away, so Guanshi Feng has a good reputation.”
“When we do business, we can’t just look at the surface, but also how the manager conducts himself.”
“We feel more at ease when doing business with people with good moral character. Whether we are doing things or contacting people, the most important thing is to look at moral character.”
Hearing these words, Cui Qingci felt something in her heart, and she couldn't help but think of those in the Pei family.
“Sister-in-law, it would be great if I could have known you earlier.”
Some of the words my sister-in-law said, even the simplest ones, are full of life principles.
But she didn’t understand even when she was fifteen years old. Even at the age of fifteen, my sister-in-law knows a lot.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at Cui Qingci. Cui Qingci was obviously older than her, but she always called her sister-in-law. Over time, she also treated her as a sister.
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "It's not too late to get to know each other now."
Cui Qingci said: "That's right. If I had met my sister-in-law two years earlier, my sister-in-law would have been only thirteen years old and had not even had haircuts yet."
The most important thing is that my sister-in-law was young at that time and could not marry her eldest brother.
That’s why she is happy to have such a good woman as her sister-in-law.
In the evening, normally, this is when the restaurant starts to get crowded.
But when Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Qingci arrived at the door of Linjiang Tower, there was no one at the door.
Although there was no one in the restaurant, the waiter was still cleaning the tables diligently.
As if he heard the sound, he quickly put down the rag in his hand, walked over and said, "Sir, do you want to eat? Please come in!"
The waiter’s attitude was very enthusiastic, and he didn’t look down on Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Qingci at all because they were riding in a bullock cart.
Jiang Zhiluo nodded secretly in her heart.
Just by looking at the waiter, you can tell that Guanshi Feng is good at managing the restaurant.
When they passed by Baixianglou before, the waiter at Baixianglou had his nostrils pointed upward.
Cui Qingci felt very comfortable looking at the waiter's attitude.
No one wants to go to a restaurant and be looked down upon.
Jiang Zhiluo said straight to the point: "I want to meet your shopkeeper Feng!"
The waiter was stunned for a moment and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. I'll call our shopkeeper Feng!"
With that said, the waiter invited them to sit down and poured them two glasses of boiled water.
The waiter then quickly went up to the second floor.
After a while, shopkeeper Feng came down.
Shopkeeper Feng looked at Chubby with a smile on his face, which was different from that of a shrewd businessman.
“What does this young lady want to do with me?”
Jiang Zhiluo said: "I want to discuss business with you, Shopkeeper Feng. I wonder if Shopkeeper Feng is interested."
With that said, Jiang Zhiluo also took out two preserved eggs and said: "With these preserved eggs, I can make different dishes!"
The shopkeeper Feng looked at Jiang Zhiluo and felt that she looked familiar. Suddenly he remembered something and said, "I know you, Miss Jiang. The chili meat sauce you make is very delicious."
Shopkeeper Feng hurriedly said enthusiastically: "Miss Jiang, please come upstairs!"
Shopkeeper Feng warmly invited Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Qingci to the private room on the second floor to discuss business.
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said: "I didn't expect that shopkeeper Feng had eaten chili meat sauce."
"No, the chili con carne you made is delicious. I asked the chef to add chili con carne when cooking. Some dishes become very delicious as soon as the flavor is enhanced. It's a pity that our business is good if we do this. Baixianglou also followed suit."
As he spoke, Shopkeeper Feng shook his head as if sighing.
Jiang Zhiluo thought to herself, no wonder when she set up a stall to sell chili con carne, someone bought more than 20 bottles at once.
Could it be that he is the purchasing manager of the restaurant?
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Shopkeeper Feng, let me get straight to the point. As for me, I will provide a few dishes with preserved eggs, and I also want to cooperate with the restaurant to sell preserved eggs."
Shopkeeper Feng also said cheerfully: "It's easy to say, the little lady's cooking skills are so good. As long as the preserved egg dish is good and uses more preserved eggs, we will naturally buy the preserved eggs from you, little lady Jiang."
If it were someone else, Shopkeeper Feng would have to be suspicious and not trust him so much.
But for Miss Jiang, he had people inquire about her and found out that she made the chili con carne sauce herself.
The person who can make meat sauce like that must have good cooking skills, and this person is also from Donghe Village and the wife of Brother Cui. She knows everything about it, so he trusts her even more.
