Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

Chapter 454 Don’t be so bad that you don’t even have to be friends
Yang Yukun glanced at it and said, "Sister Xiaoli, your store is doing well."

"Business has indeed been much easier in the past two years than at the beginning. Please sit down for a while and have a cup of tea."

Taking a few people to the private room upstairs, Cai Xiaoli poured tea for them.

When this seafood restaurant first opened, business was not very good.

The reason why we can have such a good business now is not only because we have been in business for a long time and have a good foundation, but also because our living standards have improved.

As the bridgehead for reopening in Nanyue, many people come here to work and do business, which makes the business of their seafood restaurant get better and better day by day.

In just a few words, two more tables of customers came to the store.

"There are a lot of people in the store, so I need to trouble you to wait a little longer."

"It's okay. You guys need to wait for the other guests first. It doesn't matter if we eat later."

"Sister Xiaoli, we don't need you to accompany us here. You can go about your business."

"Yes, you don't have to worry about us, you are busy with your business."

"Chunming, Lao Yang, Map, Xiao Kun, I will go and get busy first. If there is a place where the reception is not good, please don't find fault with us."

"We've been friends for many years, judging from what you said."

"Okay, then I'll go and entertain the other guests first."

It was lunch time, and the store was understaffed, and several service staff were so busy that they were dizzy.

After bringing a few people to the box, Cai Xiaoli went to greet other guests.

Yang Yukun, Han Chunming, Yang Huajian, and Mao Tutu were drinking tea and chatting in the box, waiting for the food to be served. After waiting for almost half an hour, the food started to arrive one after another.

These days, marine fishery resources are still abundant, and all kinds of high-end seafood can be eaten.

In a few decades, marine resources will be depleted due to overfishing, and it will be difficult to eat many of the seafood on the table.

"Chunming, Lao Yang, Map, Xiao Kun, your dishes are ready." Chen Zhihua put down the dishes: "You came all the way from the Imperial Capital to Coconut City. It stands to reason that Xiaoli and I should accompany you for a few drinks, but The store is really busy at the moment, sorry."

Han Chunming said: "Old Chen, what you said is obvious. If you should be busy, do what you should."

Yang Huajian said: "Old Chen, you don't have to worry about us. The guests are still waiting for your cooking, so go ahead and do your business."

Mao Tutu said: "We are all buddies, there is no need to say such intrusive words, just go and get busy."

Yang Yukun said: "Brother Chen, go ahead and get busy. We are also hungry, so we are ready to use chopsticks."

"Row."

Chen Zhihua opened the wine, had a drink with a few people, and then continued to work in the kitchen.

As the owner and chef of the restaurant, if he was not in the kitchen, the entire restaurant would be paralyzed.

He now has two apprentices. When the apprentices start training in a few months, he will be able to relax a little more. By then, he is planning to open another branch.

"Come on, brothers, stop standing still and use your chopsticks."

"Come on, come on..., do it."

"It tastes really good."

"Come on, touch one."

"Go."

An hour later, all that was left of the seafood on the table was a pile of shells, and all the meat went into the stomachs of the four people, who were almost full.

"Brother Xiaowu, Brother Jian, Brother Tu, let's go say hello to Sister Xiaoli and Brother Chen and then retreat."

Yang Yukun saw that customers were coming to the restaurant to dine one after another. They had already eaten, so they should not continue to occupy seats.

"Okay." Han Chunming waved to the service staff: "Hello, please calculate how much it will cost for us."

The waiter said: "The boss and the landlady have given instructions, and the order for your table has been waived."

"How can this work? Just do the math and get as much as you need."

"Then I'll ask the lady boss to come and settle it for you." After a while, Cai Xiaoli followed the service staff to the box.

"Chunming, Lao Yang, Map, Xiao Kun, you have eaten."

"All right."

"How does it taste? Is it to your liking?"

"It's really good. I can't say enough about the ingredients, not to mention Lao Chen's craftsmanship. This is the most authentic seafood dinner I've ever had."

"That's good. We should be finished here in another two hours. Why don't you just sit there for a while."

"Your store is so busy, and there are still customers waiting downstairs. We won't delay your business. You can calculate the accounts, and then we brothers will leave first."

"No money, Lao Chen and I will treat you to this meal."

"How can you open a business without charging money?"

"When I went back to the Imperial Capital, I went to eat at your restaurant. Did you accept my money? You came all the way from the Imperial Capital to Coconut City. We are very happy to come and see Lao Chen and me. If you want to talk about money again, , then don’t come here again.”

Cai Xiaoli looked at Han Chunming. She had gone back to the imperial capital to eat at Jubanxian Restaurant and Zaihuilou Restaurant, but Han Chunming had not charged her a penny.

Han Chunming and the others came to Yecheng for business, and she was very happy to come to their restaurant for dinner and to come and see her, an old friend.

She would not charge for this meal no matter what.

If Han Chunming insists on giving it, then this will be the beginning of the end of their friendship for so many years, and they will pretend they have never known each other.

"Come on, I won't give it to you."

Seeing that Cai Xiaoli was talking about this, Han Chunming quickly put the money back into his pocket.

"That's pretty much it. By the way, when do you plan to return to the Imperial Capital?"

Seeing Han Chunming put away the money, Cai Xiaoli smiled again and asked when they would return to the imperial capital.

"In two days."

"Lao Yang and I will stay here in Yecheng for about a week."

"I'll go back with Brother Xiaowu in two days."

Their car will be sent from Nanyue to the Imperial Capital tomorrow, and Han Chunming will return to the Imperial Capital first to be responsible for receiving it.

The remaining 300 or so vehicles will be delivered over the next week, so Yang Huajian and Mao Tutu will stay in Coconut City for a while.

Yang Yukun couldn't stay for such a long time. His wife and daughter were still waiting for him at home. He would go back first with Han Chunming.

But before returning to the imperial capital, he would first go to Yangcheng to see his father-in-law, mother-in-law and the others.

"Go to your house for a meal before you go back, and recognize the door."

"Row."

"Have you arranged your accommodation? Why don't you just go to my house for the night?"

"It has been arranged."

"Okay, the store is really busy now, so I won't keep you here."

"Come on, brothers, let's retreat."

After going downstairs and saying hello to Chen Zhihua, the four of them left the seafood restaurant and then returned to the hotel.

After breakfast the next day, Yang Huajian and Mao Tutu went to arrange car transportation. Yang Yukun and Han Chunming had nothing to do and wandered around Coconut City.

"Alas."

"what happened?"

"Hai Huang, come on, little brother, go in and have a look."

Yang Yukun and Han Chunming were wandering on the street. When they passed a handicraft store, they found that the handicrafts displayed inside were all made of Haihuang, so they turned around and entered the store.
