Chapter 196 3 Days Half Price
Xia Yunshu's lips twitched. How could she say more? She didn't say it was delicious, and she certainly didn't say it was bad.
She shook her head and poured out three more pills for Xia Yunsheng. "It's good enough that you have anything to eat. How could I possibly say anything more?"
As she spoke, she glanced at the group of people with wooden stakes, seemingly casually.
Looking at Xia Yunsheng, who seemed to have lost some weight, a wave of guilt washed over her. "Sister, if only I hadn't insisted on secretly bringing you out."
What was she thinking when she took such a long way? Anyway, she just impulsively brought it along without considering what might happen.
Her parents must be frantic with worry right now. This is the first time she's traveled so far, and it's the first time her sister has ever left the village.
She buried her head in her knees, looking incredibly pitiful as a tiny bundle.
Xia Yunsheng swallowed the pill, then tenderly hugged her and gently comforted her, "Sister doesn't blame you. I wanted to get out myself."
"As long as I'm with you, I'm happy no matter what."
Xia Yunshu raised her head, sniffed, and looked at her with red eyes.
Xia Yunsheng patted her face and teased, "As long as I'm with Xiao Shu, I'll be happy even if I drink burnt porridge."
Xia Yunshu smiled a little embarrassedly, and since she had nothing else to do, she simply started talking to Xia Yunsheng about Gu Yunqi making porridge.
Xia Yunsheng listened with a smile, "This Young Master Wang is truly interesting; it must be hard on him."
Gu Yunqi sneezed several times in a row, and as he rubbed his nose, Helian Zhiyan threw out an outer garment and immediately began to tease him:
"Young Master Wang, quickly put on your clothes, be careful not to catch a cold!"
Gu Yunqi angrily draped the clothes over himself, but couldn't bring himself to say anything to the little girl.
What an adorable little baby she was when she was little! How did she grow up to be like this?!
No, it wasn't like this back when we were at the Duke's mansion!
His eyes darted around; he must have spent too much time with that fierce girl!
That's just how Wen Luozhi is! If you offend her even slightly, she'll find a million ways to make up for it.
I'm going back to be with the little girl again. This is going to be a big deal!
Helian Yue put all the things for Wen Luozhi into Helian Zhiyan's cloth bag in the carriage, including the blood jade bracelet that Ye Nanqiao had given him.
He couldn't help but smile as he recalled Ye Nanqiao's repeated instructions.
Luo'er is really something. This blood jade bracelet was meant for the mistress of the Duke's mansion, and Mother just gave it to Luo'er like that.
“My aunt said that my brother is clueless about romance, and that he gave this bracelet to Sister Luo Zhi to coax his daughter-in-law,” Helian Zhiyan said with a look of disappointment.
She should have read more storybooks when she was in the capital; they were full of things that could please girls.
If she understood, wouldn't she be able to teach her brother now?
Helian Yue was stunned. When did he become so insensitive to romance?
As for Luo'er, every time he was about to say something, she would run away with a look of disgust, saying that he was a grown man and how could he be so mushy.
Wen Luozhi was watching Zhou Shen install a plaque for her restaurant when she started sneezing incessantly as soon as he came down.
"What's wrong, Luo Zhi? Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhou Shen was originally quite close to her, but suddenly seemed to remember something and took two steps back to ask.
Wen Luozhi looked up at the three large characters "Baiweizhai" and grinned. "It's nothing, maybe just a bit of dust from the signboard got into my nose."
"Then I'll go up and wipe it again," Zhou Shen said, making a move to climb the wooden ladder again, but Wen Luozhi quickly stopped him.
She was just saying it casually; there's no dust left on the signboard. It's cleaner than her face.
Zhou Shen originally wanted to say a few more words to her, but when he looked up, he saw a peach blossom hairpin in her hair, and the light in his eyes dimmed instantly.
He had always remembered that Yun'er had mentioned that Luo Zhi disliked peach blossoms, so why was the hairpin he was wearing now made of peach blossoms?
It must have been given to him by that man, right? He couldn't help but feel a surge of sorrow.
"I still have a few orders to complete, so I'll head back now."
After calming himself down, he left the restaurant with his head down. Wen Luozhi watched his retreating figure thoughtfully.
"Xiaoyun, is something bothering your brother?" she asked, turning around to Zhou Yun, who was wiping the table.
This guy was fine at first, how come he suddenly became so downcast?
Zhou Yun looked up and saw the exquisite peach blossom hairpin in her hair. She paused for a moment, then tugged at the corner of her mouth.
"My brother's been taking on a lot of carpentry work lately, he's probably a bit tired."
After saying that, she lowered her head and continued her work, sighing repeatedly in her heart.
Didn't you say you'd let it go? Why can't you stand seeing Sister Luo Zhi wearing a peach blossom hairpin?
What will happen then? Won't my heart just shatter like tofu?
Wen Luozhi looked up again at her family's imposing plaque.
Zhou Shen's craftsmanship is indeed excellent. The plaque he made looks exactly like her design, so it was no surprise that he received many orders. She didn't think much of it.
After everything was cleaned up and arranged, Wen Zizhou took a string of firecrackers, lit them, and threw them at the door.
The crackling sound attracted many people who were at the market.
The group stood at the door and began to discuss among themselves.
They've been looking at this restaurant for a long time, and at first they couldn't figure out what was going on. But now that they see it, they think, "Wow... it seems like they're not good enough for them."
Seeing that there were enough people, Wen Zizhou took a small gong and stood at the entrance of the restaurant, banging it.
"Dear uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters! Our Baiweizhai restaurant is opening tomorrow, and all dishes are half price!"
Other restaurants would only offer a discount of a few coins when they opened, so everyone was happy to hear about the half-price deal.
"Young man, is this half-price offer only valid until tomorrow?" an elderly man standing in front asked excitedly, raising his hand.
Just as Wen Zizhou was about to answer him, an aunt standing next to the old man said cheerfully, "I can tell from your question that you've never been to Warm Home!"
"The young owner already said that his restaurant would have a three-day half-price promotion!"
She's a regular at Warm Home because her son is a picky eater at the academy and always insists on eating at that particular restaurant.
There was nothing she could do; she had to go to the shop every day to buy several dishes, and over time she found out that the other party was going to open a restaurant!
She already knows exactly what dishes will be served tomorrow, and is just waiting to be among the first customers!
The people behind them started discussing even louder when they heard this. They found the half-price offer unbelievable. How could the restaurant go bankrupt if it offered half-price for three consecutive days?
"Young man, are you really going to offer half-price for three days straight? Aren't you afraid of losing money?!"
"Yes, yes! Look at this, it looks like a lot of money was spent, right? Isn't this a losing proposition?"
Everyone agreed that this made sense and shook their heads.
Wen Zizhou cleared his throat, laughed, and said loudly, "We'll have a three-day half-price promotion!"
"These three days aren't about making money, just consider it everyone's support for our food stall!"
"Everyone, you absolutely must come and support Baiweizhai!"
He spoke with great passion, and Xie He, standing beside him, was also deeply moved.
At first, she also felt that the three-day half-price promotion was a bit too long, but after her daughter explained it to her, she felt it was fine.
