The wicked sister-in-law is in charge; meals include fish and shrimp.

Chapter 206 Negotiation completed

He had originally planned to wait for the servants in the mansion to send the food back, but after hearing that the newly opened restaurant looked very good, he brought his wife and daughter out.

Jiang Shuqian ate the small snacks that were given to her. Although they couldn't compare to the cake that Yinzhu bought yesterday, they still tasted pretty good.

The restaurant's signature dishes and the day's newest dishes were served, and the family was looking at them with curiosity when Wen Luozhi came in to personally entertain them.

She gently turned the swivel table, quickly introducing several signature dishes before smiling and saying, "Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, and Miss Jiang, please try first. If you're interested after you've tasted them, I'll let you know."

Jiang Zhaochuan and his family picked up their chopsticks and first tasted the signature dishes she had introduced.

The first dish, golden lionfish, immediately caught their eye. Even Jiang Shuqian, who wasn't usually a big fan of food, couldn't help but praise it:

"Not only is the name of this dish unusual, but it also looks, smells, and tastes amazing. The person who made it is truly ingenious."

Madam Jiang nodded, and she and Jiang Zhaochuan continued to sample the other dishes, ultimately receiving unanimous praise from all three.

Eating things without knowing what they were was a bit boring, so Jiang Zhaochuan beckoned to Wen Luozhi to introduce them to him again:

"I am ignorant and unfamiliar with these dishes, so I would be grateful if Mr. Wen could explain them to us."

Actually, he already had the answer in his heart when he came in. The style of this restaurant suited his taste, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to hold his birthday banquet here.

The dish looks pretty good now, so let me tell you how we can finalize this today.

Wen Luozhi patiently explained each dish to them, and by the time the last dish was served, the whole family was already stuffed.

"Father, why don't we stay at Baiweizhai?"

"Mother likes it here too."

Jiang Shuqian quietly rubbed her stomach, and Wen Luozhi poured a glass of plum juice and placed it in front of her.

Jiang Shuqian blushed slightly, thanked him softly, and then said, "I also saw a birthday cake I liked at Boss Wen's dessert shop. I'm waiting to show it to everyone at Father's birthday celebration."

Jiang Zhaochuan always loved listening to his daughter, and when he heard that she had prepared the same birthday cake he had eaten yesterday, his wrinkles started to bulge with laughter.

"Okay! Let's have it at Baiweizhai then!"

He's a proud man, and in the past, every time he held a banquet at home, he had to renovate the yard, which was a real hassle.

After so many times, he was getting a little annoyed. Luckily, Baiweizhai was newly opened and everything was delicious.

Let his friends and relatives come and try the exotic dishes from all over the world here; it would surely be a lively occasion.

Wen Luozhi was overjoyed that things had gone smoothly. She had already found out that besides Guo Liangcai, Jiang Zhaochuan was the only other person in the town who could compare to him.

I heard that his son should have a minor official position in the capital, but his wife and daughter didn't like the capital, so they moved to their small town.

Jiang Zhaochuan was also a third-place scholar in the imperial examinations. For some reason, he resigned from his official position and stayed at home until recently when he came to Shanquan Town.

If you treat this kind of person well, you'll definitely earn a lot of money; who knows, she might even get big business deals in the future!

Overjoyed, she served the newly released desserts from the Dessert House, as well as Taiping Houkui tea, specially prepared for very distinguished guests.

Because she had just seen Jiang Zhaochuan drink several cups of the complimentary tea, she figured he was probably a tea lover, so she had someone brew a pot of Taiping Houkui tea, specially for entertaining VIPs.

The captivating aroma of tea wafted out from the teapot spout. Jiang Zhaochuan couldn't wait and started pouring it himself before anyone else did.

"Excellent!"

After taking several sips, he calmed down and looked at the tea in the cup, then took a careful sniff.

Among the rewards he received were tea leaves, but the best ones probably didn't even amount to a tenth of this tea.

"Mr. Wen, do you still have any tea? Could you sell me some?"

I wonder where this girl got this tea. If I could tell her, I could give some to her friends as well.

Wen Luozhi looked troubled. "We do have some, but not many, and they're not cheap."

She only redeemed one pound of it in the system; it was too expensive and she couldn't bear to waste her points.

Because there are many inexpensive, good teas that can be substituted for it.

Jiang Zhaochuan nodded upon hearing this. He understood the principle that scarcity increases value, and she had said that this tea was not very expensive, so it was probably not easy to buy it from other places.

"Money is no problem; Boss Wen will give Jiang as much as he can."

Wen Luo thought for a moment, then held up one finger. "I can only spare one tael for Master Jiang, and I'll give you another half tael."

When she redeemed it, there happened to be an event where the system gave her a tael of silver. Although half a tael was a bit stingy, it was too expensive for her.

Jiang Zhaochuan didn't think it was too little. He could drink a little less than an ounce and it wouldn't last long. He still had an ounce and a half left!

Not wanting to take advantage of the young lady, he took a sip of tea and said, "The half tael should be the correct amount of silver. Boss Wen, please don't mention anything about giving it as a gift."

Wen Luozhi has always been principled; once she says something, it's like water spilled—if she said she'd give it away, then she meant it.

One tael of Taiping Houkui tea would have cost two hundred taels of silver, but she only accepted one hundred and fifty taels for one and a half taels.

"Once the words are spoken, there's no going back. We hope the gift isn't much, Master Jiang, and you won't mind."

Jiang Zhaochuan would never complain about having too little stuff. He held the exquisitely packaged tea leaves as if they were a rare treasure.

"Then I, Jiang, will shamelessly accept it. I'll trouble Mr. Wen to take care of the birthday banquet arrangements."

"I will have someone from the manor send the silver back to Boss Wen."

After exchanging a few more polite words, Jiang Zhaochuan was eager to go back and invite his friends to try the tea they had received that day.

As for the desserts, Wen Luozhi had them packed up and sent to the Jiang family's carriage.

Jiang Zhaochuan booked the second and third floors for the banquet, and when she received the 200 taels deposit, she almost couldn't help but roar to the sky.

I used all three floors yesterday and still didn't earn more than three hundred taels of silver. Tsk tsk.

That's great! The first floor can be used to entertain ordinary diners, and the second and third floors only need to be occupied for one lunch break. They should be able to make a net profit of about four hundred taels.

She had already calculated that it was already expensive just to serve the signature dishes, not to mention that the other party required no less than eighteen dishes per table.

It might be more than four hundred taels!

Standing on the third floor, she watched as Wen Zizhou was already struggling to keep up with the cashier duties, let alone serving food and drinks.

There were still too few people, so after finishing her work at noon, she went to find Wu San again.

When Wu San opened the door and saw her, he knew another big business opportunity had arrived. He had sold quite a few people to her recently, and his pockets were bulging with money.

"Mr. Wen, are you here to check out the goods today? We've received a lot of new stock these past few days, shall I show you?" he said warmly.

Wen Luozhi nodded and followed behind him to see what he called the "goods".

It was the same brokerage firm, but this time there were many decent-looking ones, unlike the previous ones that were all skinny and exuded a deathly aura.
