Chapter 502: Going to Baoyue Tower for dinner
But seeing how happy the children were, she didn't say anything. She couldn't ruin the children's fun, and besides, there was still the old man.
Zhou Guo took them for a slow stroll along the street, from the inn to Baoyue Tower. It was already dusk.
Baoyue Tower is doing a booming business right now; if you come a little later there won't be any seats left.
As soon as they entered, a waiter came to greet them.
The waiter knew Zhou Guo. He smiled as soon as he saw her and said happily, "Ms. Zhou, are you here to see our shopkeeper today?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "No, I'm here to eat today. Is there any room left?"
The waiter was even happier, and kept saying, "Yes, yes, yes, you came at the right time. There is a big one by the window on the second floor. Please go upstairs."
Li and others were stunned when they saw the bustling scene in Baoyue Tower. They had never seen such a grand scene before. This brightly lit and bustling restaurant was like New Year's Day.
Even Zhou Guo's lips curled up when she saw this. She had been to Baoyue Tower several times, and each time she came early in the morning. At that time, there were not many customers in the restaurant. It was deserted, unlike now.
She finally understood why a pine mushroom could be sold for one or two taels of silver.
The group sat down at their seats.
This piece of land is good. You can see outside clearly through the window. Although the street outside is not as bright as day like the restaurant, it is really a world of difference compared to the dark countryside.
When the lights come on, people come and go on the streets in an endless stream.
Li sighed, "The city is still the best. There are so many people and lights on the streets at night!"
The old man also sighed, "Yes, if you don't know, you would think this is the emperor's feet. If you don't tell me, who would know this is the north? The Hu people are outside the pass and may invade at any time. Otherwise, it must be said that General Xu is amazing."
Zhou Su immediately said happily: "My uncle is amazing!"
Everyone laughed. Yes, Zhou Dacang is also in the army now, so he should be credited with a share of the credit for this stability.
A waiter came up and smiled when he saw Zhou Guo, "What would you like to eat today, Madam Zhou?"
Zhou Guo said: "Bring all the signature dishes of your restaurant!"
The young man said happily, "Okay."
Just as he was about to leave, he remembered something and asked, "Do you want some pine mushrooms?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Didn't they say that the restaurant is now limited in supply? How come there is still some at this time?"
The waiter said with a smile: "I don't know if others come, but it is certain that Madam Zhou will come. You know how much wealth we have better than anyone else."
Zhou Guo smiled and waved his hand, "Then bring one too. I've only eaten the ones you make at home, and I haven't eaten the ones made in your restaurant."
She had eaten many meals at Baoyue Tower, including several restaurants, but she had never tasted the pine mushrooms made at Baoyue Tower.
"Okay, wait a moment, everyone."
The waiter went downstairs, and after a while, the fat shopkeeper Yang came up.
As soon as they met, he laughed and said, "Ms. Zhou is really in a good mood. Are you bringing your whole family to the city to play?"
Zhou Guo stood up and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Yang, I heard that you charge one tael of silver for a plate of pine mushrooms. I brought my family to your place to see the world. Baoyue Tower is indeed the largest restaurant in Yunzhou. Look at the grand occasion and the bustling scene. There is no other restaurant like it in Yunzhou. The shopkeeper is really capable!"
Shopkeeper Yang was delighted by the praise, mainly because what she said was the truth. She had not been able to be the best before, but recently because of the crabs and pine mushrooms, Baoyue Tower was unparalleled in Yunzhou. From opening to closing every day, it was always packed, but there was always a constant stream of customers.
Rich families also like to book banquets at their restaurants, and they must have several tables, and they must specify that crabs and pine mushrooms are indispensable.
Seeing Zhou Guole's mouth grinning from ear to ear, he looked at their large table and said, "Mrs. Zhou and her family have finally come to the capital. I'm treating you to dinner today. Just eat and drink as much as you want. I'll pay for whatever you eat."
Zhou Guo refused, "How can that be possible? A meal in your restaurant is not cheap, how can we let you spend the money? We paid for it ourselves. Thanks to Manager Yang's willingness to take care of the business, we can still afford this meal."
In fact, she said that it would be fine to let Manager Yang treat them, since Baoyue Tower was a wealthy family and a big meal was nothing to her. However, she caught a glimpse of her mother's look and rejected his kindness.
People who eat by themselves are older and they are not poor, so how can they ask others to treat them all the time?
Seeing her say that, Shopkeeper Yang didn't want to insist, so he laughed and said, "That's fine, the table is yours, and I'll bring you two jugs of good wine. You can't refuse that, right? It would be awkward to refuse!"
Zhou Guo nodded readily and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll thank the shopkeeper for this box!"
Manager Yang smiled and told them to eat and drink well before leaving. As the manager of Baoyue Tower, he had a lot of things to do.
She sat down only after the others left.
As soon as she sat down, she found that no one was talking and they were all looking at her silently.
She was startled, then she looked down and saw that there was nothing wrong with herself. Her clothes were not torn or dirty. She couldn't help but touch her face, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me?"
Li smiled and said with emotion, "I have never seen what my Guoguo looks like when doing business outside. Now I see it. He looks like he is really doing something important. He is not afraid to talk to such a big shot!"
Zhou Mai smiled proudly and said, "Yes, if you don't know him, you might think he is some rich young man from some wealthy family. His aura is no less impressive than that of the fat shopkeeper."
Zhou Mi and the others nodded, looking at Zhou Guo's face with pride and honor.
The old man smiled and said, "This is not the first time I have seen you, but you have obviously grown up since last time."
Growing so fast, sooner or later he will be able to do great things.
Zhou Guo was praised a lot, but this was the first time he was praised like this. He smiled and said, "Now you know how powerful I am, right? Just wait, I will be even more powerful soon. Maybe I will become the richest man in the country. By then, you will be the family of the richest man in the country, and you will also be considered the richest man in the country."
Li was both angry and amused. "You lost your compliments just now. You will need your next life to become the richest man in Yunzhou. You can only dream of becoming the richest man in the country."
Zhou Gu laughed and said, "It's not bad to dream about it. Being the richest man in the country, doesn't that mean you can have everything you want?"
Zhou Xing laughed, "Brother, when you have a lot of money, what do you want most?"
Zhou Gu was stumped by this question. He frowned and thought for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer. Finally, he could only say, "That must mean buying lots of delicious food, lots of meat, and having three meals a day with delicious fish and meat, as well as delicacies from the land and the sea."
