Soon, a rumor about Su Jinxiu spread all over the capital.
Su Jinxiu was so busy every day that she didn't even notice.
Early in the morning, she took the waiters from the restaurant to buy groceries.
Passing by the merchants, they all pointed at her.
After she left, she whispered behind her back.
What's more, when he saw her coming, he directly collected the vegetables without selling them to her.
Su Jinxiu frowned and asked in confusion.
"Why don't you sell it to me? Can't I afford the money?"
The merchant's wife rolled her eyes, took out a broom and waved it.
“What kind of food do you need to do this kind of business?
It's just an excuse. I'd rather throw it away than sell it to you.
Take your dirty money and get out of here."
Su Jinxiu looked at other merchants, although they were not as over-the-top as this merchant's wife.
But she didn't look good, so she calmed down and asked the waiter to go back to the restaurant first.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a tall and thick-set woman grabbing a thin man who was lining up at the door and yelling curses.
“You haven’t been home all day, so you’re hunting wild food here?
I said why I don’t like the food at home. Is it because I ate this meaty food?
Hanging a restaurant sign and doing business in skin and flesh?
Damn it, get back here quickly."
In the hands of the woman, the man was like a chicken, unable to fight back.
In front of everyone, I blushed and wanted to explain.
"What are you talking nonsense about? The food in this restaurant is particularly delicious.
I asked you to come and eat together earlier, but you said you didn't want to run away.
Didn’t I bring you back to eat every day? Who did you listen to?
A good restaurant and a place to eat.
Why did it become a place of filth when it entered your mouth?
Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you let me go?"
When the woman saw that the man dared to talk back, she scolded her even more fiercely.
"Oh, you are still making excuses.
Look, the people lining up here are all men, not all like you.
Are you here for the shopkeeper Hu Meizi? Is the food here better than Zhenpin Pavilion?
How long has it been open for? Are there so many people queuing up every day?
If you say you are here to eat, only a devil would believe it..."
A few women squeezed out of the crowd and began to curse.
"Even my men are away from home all day long. I wish I could sleep here all the time."
"The men in our family are even more shameless. They call Su Jinxiu's name in their dreams at night."
"Oh, how can a man be so shameless?
This is obviously because Su Jinxiu, who owns this restaurant, is shameless, right? She is a good girl and is not waiting at home to get married.
What kind of business are you doing in public? If it is really a serious business.
Why didn't you dare to accept Zhenpinge's post a few days ago and have a serious competition with Zhenpinge's shopkeeper Wang?
It seems to me that there is clearly something wrong with me..."
Listening to everyone's words, the waiter in the restaurant almost burst into tears.
"Don't talk nonsense, my shopkeeper is not that kind of person..."
When he raised his eyes, he saw Su Jinxiu coming.
"Su, shopkeeper Su."
Su Jinxiu nodded, pushed through the crowd, walked forward, and looked at the women making trouble.
"Have you ever eaten the food in my restaurant?"
Several people looked at each other and looked away feeling guilty.
"Who wants to eat something made by a fox like you? They're not afraid of making themselves smelly."
Su Jinxiu understood and smiled.
"You don't see women queuing up here because I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for women.
The women are all allowed to rest in a private room behind the restaurant, and number plates are issued to them in order.
They don't need to queue up here, they just need to get their number tag and wait.
According to the order, someone will guide them upstairs to eat.
Men naturally don't care about this.
So, it's not that troublesome.
If this is your reason for slandering me, naturally someone can prove it for me."
Li Yanran heard the noise and walked out from behind, just in time to hear this.
Hurry forward and help Su Jinxiu prove it.
"Yes! We are all resting in the private room at the back.
Drinking tea and chatting, I was very happy.
You talkative women can't slander people indiscriminately."
Su Jinxiu saw several women who didn't dare to say anything, so she stepped forward with a smile.
"I don't answer posts from the shopkeeper of Zhenpin Pavilion because I don't want to get into trouble.
But looking at it, my polite refusal seems to have given him some misunderstanding?
In this case, if I don't follow up on the post, would it look like I have a guilty conscience?
OK, I’ll take this post.”
Su Jinxiu said, pushing through the crowd and striding towards the Treasure Pavilion.
Everyone came here to have a meal and didn't want to watch the excitement.
Seeing that Su Jinxiu was going to the Treasure Pavilion, everyone became interested and followed her one after another.
It was also a coincidence that Su Jinxiu had just arrived at the entrance of Zhenpin Pavilion.
Just outside the door, I heard a storyteller speaking with saliva flying.
"By the way, the female shopkeeper is in the back kitchen, wearing a plain bellyband.
She has a voluptuous figure and slender legs.
Diners gathered around the door, peeking in.
Under the lingering fireworks, it looks like the female enchantress in the painting.
At this moment, any delicacy is not as good as that of the female shopkeeper..."
Although he didn't explicitly say who the female shopkeeper was, if he thought about it for a moment, he could guess that he was talking about the female shopkeeper of Ruyi Restaurant.
"Then why the restaurant's business is booming? It's naturally due to the way the female shopkeeper treats guests."
Some people in the crowd saw Su Jinxiu and pointed.
"Look, this is the female shopkeeper, tsk tsk, why does she have the nerve to come here?"
"That's right, if I were her, I would have dug a hole to hide."
"I always thought that her restaurant business was good because of her good cooking skills, but it turned out to be like this..."
When Su Jinxiu heard this, she understood.
Why are the merchants in the capital poking her spine?
It turned out that someone was orchestrating her behind the scenes!
She originally wanted to take a step back and enjoy the world, but someone insisted on seeking death.
Then, I can't blame her.
Su Jinxiu stepped forward, stood in front of the treasure pavilion, and said loudly.
"I don't know why the restaurant is doing so well.
But the business of Zhenpin Pavilion may not be as popular anymore.
Where is Shopkeeper Wang? I'm here to pick up the post."
Wang Shuncai seemed to have been waiting for Su Jinxiu for a long time. After hearing this, he took a few steps out.
Standing at the door, looking down at Su Jinxiu.
"Have you thought about it, Shopkeeper Su? If you take this post.
But there is no turning back. If you lose, your restaurant will be yours.
In the capital city, we can't drive.
I still say the same thing, if Shopkeeper Su is willing..."
He still admired Su Jinxiu's craftsmanship and wanted to recruit her.
Unexpectedly, Su Jinxiu didn't give him a chance to continue talking.
"Stop talking nonsense, bring me the post.
Shopkeeper Wang has put in so much effort, how can I let you down?
As soon as I accepted this post, I was ready.
Shopkeeper Wang does seem to be old, otherwise how could he do such a stupid thing?
I hope Shopkeeper Wang can accept the consequences calmly when the time comes.
No, rely on your old age and betray your old age..."
Wang Shuncai's face turned red and white at these words. He couldn't help but grit his teeth and took the post and handed it to Su Jinxiu.
"Okay, very good.
I really look forward to Shopkeeper Su’s ability..."
