CHAPTER 425: CHAPTER 425: PEI’S IS WORTH IT

They ordered more than a dozen dishes, and after tasting each one, they found it to be worlds apart from other restaurants.

Pei’s Restaurant is the sky, and other restaurants are the ground.

No, they’re dust.

What on earth had they been eating before?

After finishing, they all felt unsatisfied and ordered more dishes.

Everyone was extremely happy while eating.

As for waiting that long before, they didn’t mind anymore.

Pei’s Restaurant was worth it.

They were willing to travel to the Capital for gourmet food, nearly two thousand miles, which took several days.

But this restaurant, they waited for less than an hour, which wasn’t long at all.

After everyone finished eating, they looked at Xie Tongda somewhat anxiously.

"Brother Xie, are we still causing trouble later?"

Xie Tongda smacked his companion’s head harshly, grinning fiercely.

"Idiot, if we stir trouble, what if they don’t let us in next time? Where else can we eat such delicious food?"

The others visibly breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Xie, actually, we didn’t want to cause trouble either, we just follow your lead."

Before coming in, Xie Tongda was filled with anger.

Now he was filled with gourmet food.

He rubbed his chin and noticed Manager Yang and others peering from the waiting area, frowning involuntarily.

"Not only will we not make trouble, but we also need to protect Pei’s Restaurant and not let Manager Yang’s people do anything bad to the restaurant; otherwise, we won’t have any place to eat next time."

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth again.

The main reason is that Pei’s Restaurant’s food was too delicious, and after eating here, who would want anything else?

No wonder this place’s business is so good; probably people come here for both breakfast and dinner.

The prices here aren’t expensive either; if a few people share the costs, it’s not much different from eating ordinary meals.

Xie Tongda’s thoughts naturally gained everyone’s unanimous approval.

"Brother Xie, later when we leave, we’ll wait outside. If Manager Yang’s people start causing trouble, we’ll step in."

Xie Tongda nodded, thought for a moment, and then said to the waiter: "I heard you can do takeout here, right?"

The waiter nodded with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Xie."

Xie Tongda said: "Pack all the dishes we just ate, and we’ll pay for the meal boxes too."

The waiter naturally nodded in agreement.

"Alright, Mr. Xie, please wait in the post-meal rest area; we will provide dessert and tea to relieve the greasiness."

Even when asked to vacate their seats, Xie Tongda felt Pei’s Restaurant handled it very appropriately.

Of course, it might also be because he was full that he felt this way.

They went to the counter to pay the silver, and then they waited outside.

There was also a post-meal resting area here, with fewer people compared to the waiting area.

When the waiter brought out desserts and flower tea, he also brought a discount coupon.

"Mr. Xie, please keep this; it’s a coupon for Pei’s Pastry Shop, which is newly opened across the street."

Mr. Xie then looked at the crowded pastry shop across the street but didn’t pay it much mind.

As the after-meal desserts arrived, they included peach blossom cakes, flower cakes, and some fruits.

With so many people, there was enough to eat, and if they finished, the waiter would bring more.

However, everyone really couldn’t eat much more.

They had already eaten so much earlier, feeling a bit uncomfortable from being too full.

But those pastries were delicious, so everyone still tried a bit of each.

After finishing the pastries, Xie Tongda said, "Go pack some pastries from across the street; I want to send them to my third brother."

The attendant obediently went to buy pastries.

They found the array of pastries there dazzling, offering all kinds of varieties with clear pricing.

Honghua introduced many pastries with a smile, and they couldn’t help but taste a lot.

Most importantly, they found each pastry to be incredibly delicious.

However, not daring to buy too much, they only selected the more popular flavors to purchase.

Honghua smiled and said, "We have gift box packaging; if you like, you can buy that, which includes all kinds of varieties."

This was a gift box specially made for new customers by the Young Madam to promote various pastries, believing that only after tasting, would their pastries have a chance.

They immediately spent money to buy peach blossom cakes, flower cakes, the famous egg cake, Zhuangyuan Cake, and the new customer gift box.

When leaving, they were carrying large and small bags.

The usually irritable and picky Mr. Xie didn’t get angry, likely because his mood was so good after eating delicious food.

"Take these pastries to the carriage, and the packed meals as well."

Then, they saw several restaurant managers entering Pei’s Restaurant.

After entering, they began to pick faults.

The horse-faced manager was especially harsh; his real name was Liu Yong, a direct descendant of the Liu Family.

He had been prompted by Old Sir Liu, which was why he was so eager to incite everyone against Pei’s.

The main issue was that Pei’s Restaurant and Pei’s Pastry Shop were too closely tied.

Seeing Pei’s Pastry Shop’s business getting better and Pei’s Restaurant’s business thriving,

this had fundamentally shaken Liu’s Cake Shop and the Liu Family’s Jiaoyao Restaurant.

"I think the restaurant’s decor is just so-so, and the dining environment is too poor."

"That’s right, a restaurant like this, I think it’s only because it’s newly opened with big discounts that people find it fresh; after a while, it definitely won’t last."

Pei Shu’er passed by in front of them, and they spoke increasingly loudly.

Pei Shu’er turned to look at them, not arguing, just smiling.

"Time will tell."

She was so composed, speaking with a natural elegant demeanor.

At that moment, the loud-talking managers of Pei’s felt themselves losing in front of Pei Shu’er.

Especially under Pei Shu’er’s calm gaze, they couldn’t bring themselves to say more mockery.

It wasn’t until the dishes were served that those people tasted the food, realizing that the flavor of the dishes was no less than delicacies.

They felt their cheeks burning with embarrassment.

The food at Pei’s Restaurant was much tastier than they had thought.

Perhaps the Queen Mother’s Peach Banquet would be at this level.

When leaving, Liu Yong stood in front of Pei Shu’er, his horse face looking even longer.

"You’ll only be smug for this period. This restaurant, without capital support, let’s see how you keep it running."

Pei Shu’er smiled and looked up: "You don’t need to worry about that. You all spent 5 taels of silver, deducting 500 wen, it’s 4 taels and 500 wen."

Manager Yang readily paid, and when about to leave, he suddenly leaned over, whispering into Pei Shu’er’s ear.

"I know you want to join the Commerce Association."
