Chapter 147;
Preparation
"Quickly, stop being so polite."
Mrs. Zhao smiled and helped Lu Yaoyao up.
"Your second aunt and I were discussing about you and the hairpin ceremony. We had some preliminary ideas and was thinking of asking you to ask, so you came."
"Let the two elders worry about it."
"Family, what are you talking about?"
Yuanshi also smiled and held her hand.
"Come into the house and take a look. If there is anything wrong, tell me and your aunt."
"Yes, come in quickly."
Lu Yaoyao was led into the house by two elders, and first listened to them talk a lot about the preparations for the hairpin ceremony.
Lu Yaoyao was not very familiar with this, after all, she had never experienced it in her previous life.
So she listened quietly to the two elders. When they asked, she nodded repeatedly, indicating that it was okay.
There is no suggestion at all.
A quarter of an hour later, we finally made the reservation.
"Then let's do it this way. I'll arrange for someone to go out and buy it later."
Lu Yaoyao nodded repeatedly, then looked around and asked, "Why haven't you seen uncle? Has he gone out?"
"Yes, I went out early in the morning with your second uncle to work on business."
"I guess he won't be back until noon. Do you have anything to do with him?"
Zhao asked with a smile.
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask how the business preparations are going recently."
"Since uncle and the others won't be back until noon, Yao Yao still has to go to Baizhen Tower. There will be noble people coming over for dinner tomorrow, so we need to make good arrangements."
Upon hearing this, Zhao and Yuan looked at each other. They both still remembered what Lu Yaoyao had said before.
Everyone also knew who the noble man she mentioned was.
"Then go quickly. This nobleman is of great importance and must be treated well. There must be no mistakes."
"Well, then Yaoyao will leave first."
The two stood up and sent Lu Yaoyao out.
"Sister-in-law, why is Yao Yao so powerful? You can actually invite that person to come to Baizhen Tower for dinner?"
Hearing this, Yuanshi shook her head, how could she know where to go?
"Yao Yao is a very capable person. I heard from the master that my sister-in-law was also very capable back then."
Lu Yaoyao's mother Lu Yunjun was in a special situation, so when the Yuan family entered the family, Lu Yunjun had already arrived in the capital, and she had met Lu Yunjun twice.
The first was when the Yuan family married Lu Kang, and the second was when Lu Yunjun's body was sent back to Jiangdong.
"Yes, before I met Yao Yao, my sister-in-law was the most capable girl I have ever met, smart and kind."
"It's a pity that the beauty's fate is all due to that beast Xu Zhao, what if"
Speaking of this, Zhao's face also showed bursts of regret.
She liked and admired Lu Yunjun very much as her sister-in-law.
When she first married into the Lu family, she knew that her parents-in-law doted on her sister-in-law, and at first she was worried that there would be conflicts between her and her sister-in-law.
It was only after she got married into the Lu family that she realized what a good girl her sister-in-law was. Unknowingly, she, like her husband and parents-in-law, doted on her sister-in-law.
When she first learned that Lu Yunjun had died of illness, she was so distressed that she cried for several days, and then the incident involving Lu Yaoyao made her even more distressed.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Anyway, Yao Yao is doing well now and has drawn a clear line with the Xu family. From now on, she will be the girl of our Lu family. Let's take good care of her."
Yuanshi smiled and nodded.
Although she didn't have much interaction with Lu Yunjun, she didn't have any unpleasant experiences, and Lu Yaoyao was indeed a good girl.
She is the elder of her own family, so she naturally has to protect and take care of her.
"Master, why are you here?"
In front of Baizhen Tower, as soon as Lu Yaoyao appeared, shopkeeper Zhou came to greet him again.
"Find a place, I have something to talk to you about."
Shopkeeper Zhou nodded repeatedly and personally took Lu Yaoyao to the box on the third floor.
When Lu Yaoyao said that His Majesty would bring people to Baizhenlou to taste the pork banquet in person tomorrow, Shopkeeper Zhou was shocked.
It took a while to come back to reality.
"Master, are you kidding me?"
"Your Majesty, is he really back?"
"Yes, he told me when I entered the palace yesterday, not only him, but also many powerful people."
Shopkeeper Zhou covered his heart, this was so exciting.
Your Majesty is here in person. How many restaurants in the capital can get this honor?
"Master, if you have any questions, just give me your orders. I will definitely do it properly."
"Well, there are some instructions."
Since His Majesty is here in person, the Baizhen Tower will naturally not be able to entertain ordinary guests as usual tomorrow, and the news cannot be spread for the time being to avoid any trouble.
If something happens, they can't afford it.
Next comes the dishes. Lu Yaoyao has arranged for someone to deliver a whole pig tomorrow, but most of the current chefs at Baizhenlou have never cooked pork dishes.
Therefore, Lu Yaoyao will be in charge tomorrow, and let the chefs from Baizhenlou learn on the side.
"My boss has arranged it very well. I will definitely cooperate with you. I will let someone know later that Baizhenlou will develop new dishes tomorrow and stop accepting guests for one day."
"No, no more than a pause."
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhou was startled and did not pause. Didn't he just say that he could not do business with ordinary customers as before?
"Not only can't you suspend it, but you also have to spread the word about the new dishes at Baizhen's restaurant tomorrow. The more people know about it, the better."
"Let's just say that all guests who come to Baizhen Tower tomorrow will get a new dish for free."
"This boss, if there are too many people here, it will be too chaotic. That person's identity is not ordinary. If something goes wrong, we will..."
Shopkeeper Zhou was very worried.
"There are just a lot of people, but only the lobby on the first floor is open to the public, and the private rooms on the second and third floors are not open to the public."
"To make up for the queue of customers, customers who come to purchase tomorrow will receive a 50% discount, that is, half price, only for tomorrow."
Baizhenlou has many dishes, and the prices range from high to low. They are very comprehensive. Ordinary diners who are expensive will rarely order them. After all, the price of one dish is enough to eat a table of ordinary dishes.
The new dishes will be promoted tomorrow, and due to the signature effect of Baizhenlou, there will definitely be a long queue tomorrow. If only the first floor is open by then, I am afraid it will cause a lot of dissatisfaction.
The half-price discount is indeed a good way to give many ordinary people who have no chance to try expensive dishes a chance to try it.
As for half price, will I lose money or something?
Shopkeeper Zhou has no worries at all. There are many dishes in Baizhenlou, and the profit of each dish is not bad. The more expensive the dish, the greater the profit. Even if it is half price, it is still a huge profit.
And with this half-price gimmick, many diners tomorrow will inevitably order expensive dishes and lose money, which is non-existent.
"My boss arranged it very well, but I still have a little problem."
"Say it."
"It's just a problem with this material. Just now my boss said that he would only send one pig over tomorrow, but I think it's not enough."
Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao was startled. He immediately thought of Baizhenlou's booming business and slapped his forehead.
"You're right, it's really not enough. Not only is it not enough, but if it were delivered tomorrow, I'm afraid it would be too busy."
