"What's wrong?" Hua Xiaogu asked when he felt the carriage stop.
"The alley is blocked. Master, wait a moment. I will go down and discuss with the other party." Outside the carriage, the driver's voice came in. Hua Xiaogu ate the last bite of snacks in his hand, and then wiped the oil from his fingers on the handkerchief.
On the bed, he stretched out his hand to open the curtains and looked out.
Outside the carriage, the driver was jumping off the platform and walking towards a person huddled in a ball not far away.
Hua Xiaogu frowned and then remembered. Last night she had someone deliver two quilts, but this morning the old beggar was still stuck in the alley and didn't get out. The coachman lowered his head and said a few words to the old beggar, and then
The old man was easy to talk to. He immediately hugged the quilt and shrank to the base of the wall. He seemed to have raised his head and glanced here twice.
Hua Xiaogu smiled and nodded to him, then grabbed the plate of snacks that he had not finished eating on the carriage, and pushed open the door of the carriage.
"Uncle, these are the snacks we made at home. Can you eat some to fill your stomach?" Hua Xiaogu held up the plate and said to the old beggar.
The coachman smiled and thanked the old beggar, then turned back to the carriage board. When he saw his master holding up the plate and saying this to the old beggar, he spontaneously took the plate and went down and handed it to the wall.
The cowering old beggar.
The old beggar raised his head and glanced at Hua Xiaogu, then looked at the plate.
"The mung bean cake is a little greasy, but fortunately it is made at home, so it won't hurt if you eat less." Hua Xiaogu pointed to the plate with a smile and continued.
The old beggar stretched out his hand and took out a piece of pastry from the plate. Then he nodded to Hua Xiaogu and thanked her.
Hua Xiaogu didn't care and retracted his body with a smile. After a while, the carriage started moving again and headed outside.
On this day, they had to go to Ruyi Zhai early in the morning. Yesterday, they were in a rush and Hua Xiaogu didn't have time to ask about the situation. When they went back, they found that the business had dropped so much. When they arrived at Ruyi Zhai, Ruyi Zhai had just opened.
Hua Xiaogu jumped out of the car and did not enter the inner hall of Ruyi Zhai directly from the side door. Instead, he walked in from the main entrance like an ordinary guest.
As soon as he entered the door, the female clerks in the store had already changed their clothes and were busy cleaning the tables and moving stools. It was a busy scene. Hua Xiaogu looked up, then looked around, and then tilted his head.
, I feel strange in my heart. According to the rules she set, if someone has reserved a table or private room in advance, then a silk flower must be placed at the door of that private room or on the table as a sign to remind the guests that there is already someone here.
After making a reservation, I reminded the staff in the store to record the origin of the guest who made the reservation according to the style and quantity of the silk flowers.
But today, Hua Xiaogu searched everywhere for a week, but only saw more than three silk flowers on a small table...
In other words, early this morning, there were only three guests booking one table?
This is a bit strange. You know, even when Ruyizhai just opened, at least half of the tables were reserved every day. After all, Ruyizhai implements a membership system. If you come late,
I'm afraid there won't be any room to sit.
Is it possible that Ruyizhai's business has deteriorated to this point now?
"Master, are you here?" Hua Xiaogu was frowning and thinking, when the young woman whom she personally selected as the shopkeeper hurried out.
