Chapter 145 Making trouble
Chapter 145 Making trouble
Zheng Sisi saw a waiter coming over and asked, "How many guests are there?"
A nobleman said, "We have eight people and would like a good private room."
The waiter led the way: "Dear guests, please come this way."
The guests went upstairs and the hall seemed less crowded.
The first two tables of guests paid their bills and left, and before we had time to clear the tables, new guests came in.
Seeing that the restaurant was full and some tables had just been occupied, I quickly sat down and waited for the waiter to come and clean up.
People were coming in and out like this. The upstairs and downstairs were full, and there were people queuing at the door waiting for a seat to become available.
Zheng Sisi was busy when a waiter came up to her and said that a guest in a private room on the second floor was causing trouble and Manager Cui was almost beaten.
Zheng Sisi had expected this kind of trouble-making. The capital is so big that there are always people who bully the good and fear the evil. They rely on their family's power and influence and always feel that they are superior to others.
Zheng Sisi followed her to the second floor and asked the waiter to ask Nanny Li to watch over the counter and help with the checkout.
When she entered the private room, Zheng Sisi saw that they were those noble gentlemen and she had an idea in her mind.
Seeing Shopkeeper Cui standing in the corner, she asked him, "You were beaten."
Shopkeeper Cui shook his head: "Miss, no."
Zheng Sisi was relieved. She looked around and asked politely, "Hello, gentlemen. I am the owner of this restaurant. May I ask if there is anything that makes you dissatisfied?"
Several people looked at each other and shook their heads to prove that they had never seen this person.
A nobleman said, "Your restaurant deceived our customers. I am here to argue with you. If you don't compensate us for our losses, I will report you to the government."
Zheng Sisi: "Then how did my restaurant deceive you?"
The nobleman said, "Your waiter recommended dishes to us, saying that the emperor and the third prince had eaten them before. Look at what you are serving, pig intestines, and you said that the emperor praised the dish after eating it. Who are you trying to fool?"
Someone started to make a noise: "Yes, you probably don't even know which direction the palace gate opens, and you dare to cheat people in the name of the emperor."
"Yes, you have the guts to feed us these smelly things that even dogs find disgusting."
"If you don't compensate us for our losses today to our satisfaction, you don't have to open this store and can close it."
"There are still so many dishes that no one has ever eaten. If we eat them and get poisoned, who will be held responsible?"
"…………"
Several people kept accusing her at once, but Zheng Sisi did not defend herself and just let them talk.
They stopped talking when they were bored. Then Zheng Sisi asked, "Have you all expressed your opinions?"
Some people are arrogant and say, "You think this is not enough."
Zheng Sisi said calmly, "No, if you guys have finished speaking, I will answer the questions you just raised.
First, we say that this dish is one that the Emperor and the Third Prince both praised. This is a fact. If you don’t believe it, you can verify it yourself.
Second, pig offal is food. As for the fact that dogs think it smells bad, it’s because you don’t know how to handle it.
Third, these new dishes all use new ingredients. I have eaten them myself, and many people have eaten them. They are all healthy ingredients and will not cause poisoning. If you do, it only means that your physical constitution is not good.
4. Which direction does the palace gate open to? I know it opens to multiple directions, and I have been there. If you don’t believe me, you can go and verify it.
5. As for reporting to the authorities, please feel free to do so. I operate legally, do not evade taxes, and do not commit any crime. The authorities will only protect us.
I have finished what I want to say. If you have finished eating, please go to the counter downstairs to pay. Thank you! "
Several noblemen were fed up and slammed the table. One of them pointed at Zheng Sisi and said, "You are still arrogant. I tell you, if you offend us, you will not be able to stay in the capital."
Zheng Sisi is not afraid of them. She has the strongest backer in the Dai Yue Kingdom, and she doesn't take these playboys seriously.
