Chapter 268 No wonder he is the manager

"Manager Fang, what would you like to eat today?"

The waiter poured tea for the few people and waited respectfully for Manager Fang to speak.

"Tell the two ladies what dishes the restaurant has and see if they are interested in any of them." Manager Fang signaled with his eyes to let the waiter introduce them to Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin.

"Okay! Madams, our restaurant has..."

"No, no, no."

Zheng Yuan quickly stopped the waiter who was about to announce the dishes, as they would be confused if they continued to listen to the dishes.

"Manager Fang, just make the arrangements. We are all fine with it."

"Okay, then you can serve us a three-animal pot, a portion of Gastrodia elata ham and chicken, a portion of sour soup fish, a portion of roasted lamb, a portion of pumpkin steamed pork, a portion of crispy red beans, a portion of pickled cabbage noodles, a portion of stir-fried water fern, and a portion of yellow rice cake."

"That's all. Hurry up and serve us here."

Manager Fang rattled off a bunch of dish names, and the waiter quickly wrote them down, turned around and ran out to notify the kitchen to prepare the dishes.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin had already been drooling when Manager Fang announced the dishes. The dishes he ordered sounded delicious.

Besides, it seems like he orders these dishes often, otherwise he wouldn’t be so fluent.

The four drivers didn't dare to speak. When they heard such a long list of dishes, they could only stare with their eyes wide open in surprise and didn't dare to make a sound.

"Ladies and brothers, let's have some tea first. They serve the food pretty quickly."

After ordering the dishes, Manager Fang lifted the teapot and wanted to add more tea for everyone.

"Manager Fang, you should also take a break. We can take care of ourselves." Seeing that several drivers were not used to it, Zheng Yuan began to persuade them.

"That's fine, we are all family, so we don't need to be bothered with these empty formalities." Manager Fang also sat down as he was told.

While waiting for the food to be served, Manager Fang asked them about their journey, and Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin also chatted with him casually about the customs and practices of Zhaoming. From time to time, they also asked the four drivers a question to make them feel less embarrassed.

As for more, the two of them and Manager Fang tacitly did not talk about it at the dinner table. After all, this matter had to be kept secret.

While they were chatting, the dishes came up one after another. The speed was really fast. I wonder if it was because Manager Fang was a regular customer.

"Ladies, brothers, let's start. You must have worked hard on the journey." Manager Fang picked up the chopsticks and signaled everyone to start.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin, who were seduced by the aroma, couldn't wait any longer. They picked up their chopsticks and reached for the dishes they were interested in, while also greeting a few drivers.

Both of them were very curious about what the three-animal pot was.

When you open the lid of the casserole, you will smell the fragrance of Chinese herbs. Inside is pork, chicken, fish and Chinese herbs. Judging from its appearance, it should be similar to the various pots cooked in later generations.

This pot should be considered the specialty of Jinxianglou. It is stewed in advance, the meat is stewed very soft, the soup is very rich, and the flavors of Chinese herbs are also well blended. It is unexpectedly delicious.

Seeing that the two liked it, Manager Fang introduced: "This three-animal hotpot is considered a specialty of Zhaoming, and the Golden Elephant House makes the best."

"The pork here is from the hind legs of two-year-old pigs, the chicken is black-bone chicken, and the fish is from the Jinjiang River. Paired with polygonatum and codonopsis, it is not only delicious, but also has the effect of nourishing the middle qi, replenishing blood and maintaining health."

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin nodded. Although they did not understand the effects of these Chinese herbal medicines, they believed in the wisdom of the Chinese nation.

Over the past five thousand years, there have been countless dietary therapies from all over the country, and there are medicinal foods that are both delicious and healthy everywhere.

In addition to the three-animal hotpot, the other dishes were also very delicious. I don’t know if it’s because we need to ward off the cold in the north, but many dishes have some dogwood added, which is very much to their liking.

After the meal, both of them had full stomachs, and the fatigue from the three days of traveling had dissipated a lot.

After finishing their meal and returning to the store, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin rested for a while and planned to go see if there was a suitable yard.

It was noon now, so if I went to visit the man, I would most likely not be able to see him. It would be better to go look for a yard, and if I found a suitable one, I would go to meet the man in the afternoon to see if the rose issue could be settled, and if so, I would rent it directly.

"Manager Fang, I'd like to trouble you to send someone to accompany us to see if there is a suitable courtyard." Zheng Yuan asked directly for someone.

I am really unfamiliar with the place, so it would be much more convenient to have a guide.

"Don't worry, ladies. I've looked at a lot of these yards since I came back. I rented one yesterday. But you can go take a look later. If you're not satisfied, we can look for another one."

"There is also the Rose Valley official. I have taken time to visit him these past few days. It seems that he is promising, but the details still need to be handled by the two ladies."

Wow! No wonder he is the one in charge!

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin looked at each other and saw the same idea in each other's eyes.

"Manager Fang is really thoughtful. Not only did he explore the way for us, but he also prepared the yard for us. We sisters would like to thank you here."

The two people who originally did not have much expectations of the other party's manager now experienced an unexpected surprise.

"Thank you for being so polite, madam. This is all due to our business. Madam, I will take you to the yard now. It's not far away, just on the street behind." Manager Fang stood up.

"Okay, let's unload the things from the carriage so that they can go back to the carriage house and have a good rest."

Manager Fang gave instructions to the shop assistants and took the two men to the yard, with the coachman following behind in his carriage.

After about ten minutes, we arrived at the gate of the yard.

Seeing the situation at the door, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were already very satisfied.

Manager Fang must have considered that the carriage would need to enter the yard to load goods, so the gate was not only very spacious but also had a low threshold so that the carriage could easily enter.

There is also a large flat area at the door, which is big enough to park four or five carriages. It is truly a suitable warehouse.

Manager Fang took out the key, opened the door, and invited the two men to go in and take a look. The carriage carrying the steamer also followed in and took the steamer down.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin felt that this was the right place as soon as they entered the door. This yard was simply tailor-made for them.

The courtyard is connected in and out. In front is the main house, on the right is the kitchen and a large firewood shed, and the rest is the courtyard.

The yard was empty and they could use it as they pleased.

"Manager Fang, the yard you chose is so suitable. We can't build such a suitable yard ourselves."

This is really true. If considered for living purposes, few people would build the kitchen and yard so large. I don't know what the owner of this yard did in the past.

"As long as the two ladies are satisfied, I have also seen your workshop and know that you have high requirements for this kitchen. In addition, if all the roses are transported here, the yard must be large, so I found a yard according to this requirement."

Manager Fang was naturally happy that they were satisfied. He was worried because their attitude was not very good the first time. Although they seemed not to care the second time, he was still thinking about how to make up for it.

Fortunately, this Rose Valley gave him an opportunity.

Manager Fang took the two of them for a walk and came out, and the coachman had also put the steamer down.

"Manager Fang, madams, everything has been unloaded, let's go back to the coach." The coachman named Yang walked up to the group and said.

"Okay, then you can go back and rest. You have worked hard these days."

The coachman repeatedly said he didn't dare, and then drove the carriage away.
