Chapter 194 How do you usually treat me?
Upon hearing this, Tong Xiangyu instantly perked up.
My head is no longer dizzy, my hands are no longer shaking, my chest is no longer tight, and even the weather feels much better.
As long as Tong Xiangyu doesn't lose money, that's a great thing!
Immediately, Tong Xiangyu stood up as if she had just eaten a super nourishing soup.
Then, with a look of urgency on his face, he looked at Guo Furong and asked questions in rapid succession.
"Xiao Guo, are you telling the truth? You were just lying to me? You didn't vandalize Yihonglou? And I don't have to pay compensation?!"
"I didn't smash it." Guo Furong laughed and then continued, "I was just teasing you! Who told you to almost make me lose face like that?"
"Really? Are you absolutely sure?"
Although Tong Xiangyu was already 80-90% convinced, there was still a trace of doubt in her eyes.
After all, this was a big deal involving tens of taels of silver, and she couldn't afford to be careless in the slightest.
"I do not deny or reject!"
Seeing that Tong Xiangyu still didn't believe her, Guo Furong didn't waste any more words and immediately raised her hand to swear:
"I, Guo Furong, swear I definitely didn't smash up the Yihong Pavilion, otherwise I'd be better off with these unbearably itchy sores on the soles of my feet!"
Hearing this, Tong Xiangyu finally felt relieved, and then turned around and complained.
"You little brat Guo, you almost scared me to death! It's good that nothing was smashed, it's good that nothing was smashed. We should make money peacefully, shouldn't we?"
Bai Zhantang chimed in, "Little Guo, are you hungry? Everyone's been waiting for you for ages, come and eat!"
"That's right, I've been hungry for ages."
After everyone took their seats...
Guo Furong then spoke mysteriously to everyone.
However, Guo Furong ignored this and instead looked at the people in the inn and asked them mysteriously.
"But guess who I ran into at the brothel? If that person hadn't stopped me..."
With my fiery temper, I wouldn't be surnamed Guo if the Yihong Pavilion didn't undergo renovations for at least a month or two.
"Who is it? I bet it's Chu Liuxiang!"
"I bet it's Guo Jing!"
"Stop guessing! I bet it's Officer Xing!"
Everyone offered their own guesses, with all sorts of answers, but none of them hit the nail on the head.
"Ugh... I don't even..."
Just as Guo Furong was about to answer,
"Da da da."
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the door.
At the same time, a slightly amused voice drifted in from the doorway.
"Long time no see, everyone!"
"This voice... it sounds familiar."
Tong Xiangyu looked in the direction of the sound and saw that several figures had appeared at the entrance of Tongfu Inn at some point.
The leader, dressed in a long black robe and smiling, stood at the entrance of Tongfu Inn; it was none other than Shan Tianxie!
Behind him were Gu Santong, Xia Xueyi, and Xiyu.
"Oh! It's Young Master Shan back?"
Everyone recognized Shan Tianxie at a glance, and their faces lit up with joy.
However, when it comes to reaction speed in the inn, Bai Zhantang is the fastest, and he immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Oh my goodness, isn't this Young Master Shan and Miss Xiyu? What brings you here? Please come in and have a seat!"
"I came to Qixia Town to take care of some business, and I also thought I'd drop by to see you old friends."
Dan Tian chuckled evilly, then slowly walked into the inn.
"Oh, that's it."
Bai Zhantang looked at Gu Santong and the others, and asked with a soft smile, "Are these young masters Mr. Shan's friends?"
"Yes, Not Bad."
Dan Tianxie nodded slightly, and then introduced Gu Santong and the others to everyone at Tongfu Inn.
However, Gu Santong's identity was somewhat concealed, only being described as an elderly senior with the surname Gu.
After all, although Gu Santong had been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for twenty years, his reputation as the Invincible Rascal was still too great.
If word gets out, given Bai Zhantang's timid and cowardly nature, he probably won't be able to sleep well at night.
Everyone then took their seats, and at first the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
However, putting aside everything else, the people at Tongfu Inn were absolutely unparalleled in their enthusiasm. Amidst their banter and jokes,
In addition, Gu Santong and Xia Xueyi were not rigid people, so for a time everyone enjoyed themselves.
Tong Xiangyu was a little drunk, and somehow the conversation drifted to the Yihong Tower.
"Young Master Shan, what's so great about the Yihong Pavilion across the street? Why are all the customers going there? Business has been terrible these past few days!"
After Tong Xiangyu finished speaking, she poured herself a full glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a resentful expression.
"Well..."
Dan Tianxie looked at Tong Xiangyu with surprise. "Don't you know why you're going there?"
If you were a consumer, and there was a place with nice decor, good food, and similar prices, would you be willing to go there?
This is only natural; if it were anyone else, their first impression would definitely be to choose Yihonglou as well.
Since the shop-smashing incident didn't happen, the story of Sai Diaochan bribing the shop assistants also didn't occur.
But sometimes that's the charm of language; since the incident of smashing up the store is over,
Since I'm currently staying at Tongfu Inn, I guess there won't be any more incidents of Sai Diaochan bribing the staff.
The creation of this legendary dish can only be achieved through our own efforts.
Although Shan Tianxie's mind was racing, his face remained expressionless.
The look of surprise vanished in an instant, replaced by a serious expression of contemplation.
After pondering for a long time, he slowly said, "In my opinion, the reason why Yihonglou wins is because of its novelty!"
"To put it bluntly, Tongfu Inn's decor and food are still quite a bit behind others!"
"Novelty? Decoration? Menu?"
Tong Xiangyu muttered a few words to herself; she roughly understood what Shan Tianxie meant.
If you're going to make her spend a lot of money redecorating the inn, you might as well kill her.
However, this dish is worth trying; the inn hasn't really come up with anything new in a long time.
Previously, there was no need for it, so Qixia Town only had one monopolistic inn.
If customers have no choice but to eat at their own restaurant, then it doesn't matter.
But that won't work now. With competitors around, the competition among cooks has intensified!
Thinking of this, a sharp glint suddenly flashed in Tong Xiangyu's eyes.
His gaze was fixed on Li Dazui, who was eating a steamed bun in each hand with great gusto.
Li Dazui was enjoying his meal when he suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.
Subconsciously, I looked toward the place that felt strange and instantly saw Tong Xiangyu's shining eyes.
"Manager...Manager, what...what happened?"
Li Dazui asked tremblingly, the steamed bun in his hand suddenly losing its aroma.
"Hey, Big Mouth, how have I usually treated you?!"
