Chapter 338 Rewards
Soon the person who went to the bathroom came back, and Mr. Qiao continued to tell the story of Chapter 3 when he saw that the person had arrived.
It makes people who haven't used the toilet wonder if the backyard is full of toilets. Otherwise, how could it be so fast? Don't so many people have to queue?
After the third chapter was finished, in order to know the rest of the story, the tea drinkers all asked for another chapter. The rich and powerful ones shouted out foolishly, "Mr. Qiao, I'll pay you more money to moisten your throat. Please tell me another chapter."
Someone followed behind and echoed: "Yes, I'll pay more too! I want to hear the story too!"
Those who asked for more money were all guests sitting in the private rooms. They were all dressed in splendid clothes, and were obviously young men and women from wealthy families. Some of them stood in front of the railings of the private rooms, while others walked out of the private rooms and threw some small change in front of the storyteller. Although these people were dressed in luxurious clothes, they all had a frivolous look on their faces, and were obviously the sons of wealthy families.
Zheng Sisi didn't care what their attitude was, as long as they paid to listen to the story and didn't cause trouble in the teahouse. She signaled the waiter to collect the money, and the waiter was also smart. He took a tray and walked around the private room, giving each table some money. The fat man who needed to go to the toilet generously gave ten taels of silver.
After one round, there were quite a few tips, estimated to be more than thirty taels. Zheng Sisi winked at Mr. Qiao, who understood and picked up the wake-up stick and slapped it.
"Thank you all for your love of my story, and thank you for your reward. Now please listen to me..."
Zheng Sisi found Manager Xu and asked him to give a cake to the fat man who gave the most tips.
Throughout the morning, I only saw guests coming in but no one leaving, and the guests' tea was replaced pot after pot.
After Mr. Qiao finished the fourth chapter, Mr. Yu took over. The story had already reached the sixth chapter. The tea drinkers didn’t care who it was, as long as the story was good. Fortunately, the two had similar styles and tones.
It was almost time for lunch, but the guests refused to leave and insisted on listening to stories, saying that they were afraid there would be no seats left when they returned from lunch, and no matter how much we promised to reserve seats for them, we could not.
Shopkeeper Xu came out and said that they would resume their conversation after lunch, saying that the gentleman needed to rest. The wealthy guests threw silver coins at him, saying, "I want to hear a story. The two of them can take turns to rest."
Zheng Sisi was also helpless and could only put away the money and continue talking, then arranged for the employees to eat in batches.
Zheng Sisi went upstairs to invite her grandmother, aunt and other guests to dinner. Everyone agreed, "Sisi! Let's continue listening to the story. If we are hungry, we can have some snacks. You don't have to invite us."
Zheng Sisi was so upset. Even her grandmother and little sisters wanted to hear stories. They have been listening to them for three days yet aren’t they tired of it?
Zheng Sisi could only go downstairs to the kitchen to prepare some food for these people, and arranged for Rose to take a few people to the Yingbin Building to pack some dishes. She originally arranged two tables of food in the Yingbin Building, but now it was not needed, and she also had to tell Manager Cui.
The braised duck from the past few days has not been eaten yet, so I brought some over today. Zheng Sisi heated up the braising liquid and simmered the braised duck in it, and will serve it to them later.
Since they didn't go to eat, there were more customers ordering snacks, and the cooks in the kitchen were very busy. The waiters came in and out to deliver food.
After Rose and the others came back, Zheng Sisi arranged for the meal to be delivered directly upstairs. She took out the braised duck, sorted it into plates, and put it on two trays for the waiter to deliver it upstairs.
The waiter appeared in the hall with a tray, and the special aroma of the braised food spread out, which stirred up a hornet's nest again.
Immediately, some customers asked what it was and wanted to order one too. The waiter said that this was for the host to entertain guests and was not for sale. Some customers were quick to stop the waiter and couldn't help drooling when they saw the trays full of things they didn't normally eat emitting tempting aromas.
The fat man was also very quick. He came to the waiter, took out a fifty-liang silver note and threw it on the tray. He took two plates and left, saying, "Tell your boss that I'll buy these two."
With him as an example, others followed suit, paid their money and took one portion away. When the guests upstairs saw this, they waited and only got one portion.
At the staircase, two waiters were carrying two trays of silver, which were scattered in the wind. The dishes that the host had carefully prepared were gone, and they were gone without any warning. How were they going to explain this to the county lady? Woo woo woo…
