Chapter 81.4: 來客

[Guests]


 

Therefore, when Chen Ling Er stood outside Chen Lao Ye’s study room, he looked at the closed door and argued whether to knock or not. She heard her father’s low and angry voice from inside, she froze for a moment, no reaction at all.

 

“Are you telling the truth?!”

 

“This little one don’t dare to deceive you, I have been there for a day to observe, I dare to guarantee with my life, that small restaurant’s income for a day adds up to at least more than ten taels.”

 

This number does not sound a lot, but nowadays two taels of silver is enough to feed and clothe an ordinary family for a year, and that small restaurant only receives thirty tables of guests every day, and even the desserts are rationed (limited to certain amount) and when they are sold out, there will be no more. All these things add up, this sum of money is exactly not small.

 

Chen Ling Er heard the sound of conversation coming from inside, did not know what she was thinking about, neither left, nor knocked on the door to go in, but instead put her ear quietly. She wanted to hear clearly to the voice inside.

 

“Have you found out what they use for desserts and fruit wines, and how much it costs?”

 

“This little one don’t know, but I found out that the small owner of that small restaurant will regularly buy a lot of pig skin and fish skin, but those things don’t appear on the restaurant’s menu, so I dare to deduce that the dessert’s production needs this fish skin, just how to make, I can’t probe out.”

 

It was unknown who after said this sentence. From inside, for half a day there is no movement.

 

Chen Ling Er controlled his force so that it would not push the door open, and put her ears close to it, wanting to continue to listen to what was going on.

 

“I know, these days you spy on the Chen family restaurant, how many customers they come daily, how long they open the shop, as well as how many things to buy through to remember clearly, and then tell me.”

 

“Yes.”

 

After saying these two sentences, the two people also whispered a few other things, only the voice was too small, so that Chen Ling Er at the door could not hear what was said.

 

Until that unfamiliar male voice opened his mouth to say goodbye, Chen Ling Er has a guilty conscience like a thief as she ran away.

 

Until she ran back to her own courtyard, sitting in the room, Chen Ling Er almost forgot what she was going to find her father about just now, and only thought about the small restaurant they mentioned and also why her father looked so nervous?

 

Just when Chen Ling Er frowned and thought, the little maid beside her come over carefully and gently asked: “Young miss, why are you in such distress?”

 

Chen Ling Er turned her head to look at her, suddenly thought of something, not polite at all as he said: “You people who are slaves, don’t you often go out of the house? Do you know the Chen family’s small restaurant?”

 

The little maid listened to the young lady’s words and did not have any reaction, just nodded seriously, “Know ah! That little restaurant, isn’t it the one that sells jelly for Miss. Of course this servant knows ah!”

 

Hearing her say this, Chen Ling Er frowned, thinking of her father’s concern for that shop, she felt that there should be something more, so she continued to ask: “Is there anything special about that shop?”

 

Hearing the young lady ask like this, the little maid suddenly clapped her hands, and then excitedly said towards Chen Ling Er: “That’s right ah young lady, the accountant there is the poor scholar from the Gu family, but he is oddly good-looking.”

 

Chen Ling Er did not expect to get such an answer, slightly stunned for a moment. That man’s detached eyebrows and that handsome face quickly appeared in front of her eyes.

 

Chen Xing thinks today’s profit is simply too out of their expectations, originally he thought that on the first day he re-opened the shop, if there are fifteen tables of guests already considered good. Not only was the portion for thirty tables full, the customers who came were even more, they were unable to serve the customer and this situation. Although they have gone through hardships, his mood is extraordinarily excited!

 

Therefore, Chen Xing stood in front of everyone, excitedly announcing: “Today everyone has worked hard, wait until the end of the month, I will give everyone in the shop a big red envelope (hóngbāo)!”
