The next day, the city gates were wide open. Citizens flocked on both sides of Anning street to welcome General Chen to return.
Xia Liang’s plan to promoting General Chen’s heroic image throughout the city was part of the reason why people crowded to welcome him.
At the moment Chen Jingsheng was highly respected as a god of war.
“General, you are gaining more and more respect from people. Not even his majesty could be more popular than you.”
General Chen’s deputy general had a big proud smile on his face when he saw the crowded people and their words of praise. He whispered to Chen Jingsheng as he drove the horse forward.
Chen Jingshen gave his deputy general a warning eye and said heavily, “watch your language!”
But it could be seen from the small smile on his lips that he was pleased.
No one would hate to be respected and adored like a god.
Thinking of the emperor, Chen Jingsheng narrowed his eyes. The Dongfeng Kingdom must be afraid of him. It was unlikely that they would provoke the boundary in a short time.
Chen Jingsheng knew it very well that the emperor had been trying to take his military power away. But as the emperor’s uncle, Chen Jingsheng refused to hand the power over.
In his plan, even the emperor forced him to take over his military power, he had to give it a through consideration since he was a prestigious general for soldiers and citizens.
When Chen Jingsheng and his soldiers arrived at the gate of the imperial palace, Baili Jue came out to meet him there in person, which was a great honor for a general. Baili Jue also walked him to the palace and prepared a banquet to entertain him.
And the citizens in the city flocked into every Xiangkelai restaurant right after they welcome General Chen in order to become the first five hundred customers.
Very quickly every Xiangkelai restaurant was packed with people and people even shoveled each other to get in front.
Luckily, the waiters were smart and securities were good at martial art. Thanks to them, everyone behaved and everything went in order.
On that day, every Xiangkelai was packed with customers. Waiters had been running around the dinning room from noon to night. So were the chiefs. The shopkeepers had been busy with dealing with every order and check.
When it finally came to an end on that day, the shopkeepers gathered to do account of the daily turnover. Surprisingly, the restaurant was actually profitable!
On the premise that five hundred guests’ bills were on the house and the rest got fifty percent off. It was a business that could earn a lot of money.
The shopkeepers couldn’t believe what happened. They did the math and calculated once again and finally made sure that they didn’t make any mistakes and it was true that they made money.
“Now! Hurry up! Send the message and the account book to boss.” The shopkeepers said excitedly although they had been worried about their turnover because of those free orders.
When Xia Liang received the news, she was not surprised at all. Running a restaurant would make money as long as there are enough customers for the costs would be evened out on every customer.
Besides, as they had done a lot of work before, a third of citizens in the city fought over the first ones to have a taste of the cuisines in the restaurants. And among them were those who wished to eat as much as possible since their orders were free.
Besides, Pinxiang Ju was closed because she destroyed it yesterday. A lot of their customers came to Xiangkelai today.
There wouldn’t be so many customers from tomorrow on. But it was not a problem for Xia Liang. Even though Zhu Ruodie had so many fresh ideas, how could she have more than her?
…
The next day when Pinxiang Ju reopened after they repaired the shop, they found that they only had a few customers even during lunch time. And the customers were regular ones who had deposited money into their membership account and had to come to spend it all.
Some of them even shouted that they wanted to refund their membership card and got their money back.
“Sir, you are so canning. Look at Xiangkelai! They have the same chicken dish but the taste is much better but cheaper than yours. They only charge one hundred and you charge two hundred. I want to refund my membership card. I won’t come here any longer!”
“Is it true?” One customer who was eating at the table asked. Obviously he hadn’t gone to Xiangkelai yet.
“Of course it’s true. I went there yesterday and they have the same dishes as what Pinxiang Ju serve here but cheaper. Better than that, I had a free meal yesterday. You know what? Their food is so much better than here.”
“It’s true! I went there too yesterday. Their food is incredible! And their service is wonderful. And they also hire singers. The girl is pretty and her voice is out of the world. You get more than just a meal.”
Those who stayed to eat here started to discuss about the two restaurants. All of them talked up for Xiangkelai and some regular customers even were convinced to give it a try at Xiangkelai.
The shopkeeper was mad at them for commenting on two restaurants. He even drove the customers out.
Anyone would choose to go to Xiangkelai since it served the same kind cuisines which tasted better and charged half price.
Besides, the two restaurants were very close. It was quite easy to change their ideas of where to go.
One of the reasons why Xia Liang chose to open restaurants around Pinxiang Ju was because she was provoking Baili Xi and the other reason was to steal his customers.
During dinner time, Pinxiang Ju was quiet. However, Xiangkelai was packed with customers, not to mention customers were even lining up for a seat.
It was quite obvious that Xiangkelai won.
…
In Zhu Ruodie’s own room.
“What’s the matter, my lady?” Qiuhong, Zhu Ruodie’s maid, asked carefully as Zhu Ruodie is putting on a long face.
“I am fine. Off you go.” Zhu Ruodie rushed her out. She looked awful as she was reading the reports in her hands.
Xiangkelai, a restaurant she had never heard of in her last life, served the same cuisines as Pinxiang Ju. How come?
Did they have chef who could make the same cuisines after he had one bite? Or was there anyone who time-travelled as she did?
But how come?
She was the main character since she was reborn time-traveler, meaning that she couldn’t die so miserable because of Baili Jue as she did in last life!
