Chapter 710 Eat All
Chapter 710 Eat All
Because General Li won a great victory this time, the enemy had to submit a letter of surrender.
This victory not only made General Li famous, but also inspired the entire country.
The army began to return to the capital amid cheers, but Ni'er and the princess went ahead and set out on the journey back to the capital.
Ni'er has always been concerned about the business of Yunlai Restaurant. After all, she has been away for some time and doesn't know how the restaurant is doing now.
Although she received some letters from restaurants during this period, she knew in her heart that these letters usually only reported good news and not bad news.
She understood that everyone was worried that she was still worried about the restaurant's affairs thousands of miles away.
However, Nier could only truly feel at ease when she saw the actual situation of the restaurant with her own eyes.
So, she couldn't wait to go back and see for herself how the restaurant was doing.
When Nier arrived in the capital, it was already afternoon.
She deliberately did not inform them of her return in advance.
I want to see with my own eyes how they run the restaurant during the time I'm away, and whether they are as dedicated as they were when I was there.
Ni'er was getting closer and closer, and was about to reach the door of the restaurant.
At this moment, the waiter standing at the door caught a glimpse of her figure from afar and couldn't help feeling happy.
He quickly pulled over another person beside him, raised his chin, pointed in Ni'er's direction, and said excitedly: "Look, isn't that our shopkeeper?"
However, the man didn't seem to care about the waiter's words. He didn't even bother to look at him and directly retorted: "Are you crazy about the shopkeeper?"
"The shopkeeper is currently at the frontline treating the prince's injuries. You've been making mistakes all day long, and I don't know how many times you've made mistakes. I won't fall for your tricks!"
The waiter was a little dissatisfied after hearing this, but he still took another look patiently, and then said more confidently: "I think I am definitely not wrong this time, that is our shopkeeper!"
Seeing this, the other man casually glanced in Ni'er's direction without any hurry, and then said nonchalantly: "It's just that his figure is somewhat similar to the shopkeeper's. Don't mistake him for someone else."
"She's taller than our shopkeeper, and he's much fairer than her. His skin is so tender you can squeeze out water from it. How can she compare to him?"
The waiter couldn't contain his dissatisfaction and retorted, "The shopkeeper has been gone for so long, can't he grow a little taller? She's still young and in the growth stage, it's normal for her to grow taller!"
"Besides, he went to the front line, where he was exposed to the wind and sun all day long. It's normal for his skin to have dark spots. If you look closely, how can you not recognize him?"
After hearing what the waiter said, the man took another closer look, half believing and half doubting. Suddenly, he exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it really is the shopkeeper! You're right this time."
"I'll go tell them to come out and greet me."
Seeing this, Ni'er quickly waved her hand to signal them not to go in and notify them.
The two men walked forward quickly, their eyes slightly red, obviously very excited.
"Boss, we really miss you!" one of them said with a slightly choked voice.
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to your safe return every day." Another person quickly echoed, pulling the person next to him over, "Now, everyone he sees looks like you. He keeps asking me if this one is the shopkeeper or if that one is the shopkeeper."
"It's good that you're back! It's good that you're back! We were so worried about you."
"Boss, you must have had a hard time on this journey. Are you hungry? Eat something first. It's been a bumpy ride, and it's not easy."
Seeing these two people caring so much about her, Nier felt a warm feeling in her heart. She smiled and said, "No need for now. I still have some things to take care of."
After saying that, Nier turned and walked into the restaurant.
As soon as Ni'er stepped into the restaurant, she heard a shout from behind her: "The shopkeeper is back! The shopkeeper is back!"
All the busy people in the restaurant stopped what they were doing and rushed towards the door.
"Boss, you are finally back. With you here, we have a backbone!"
"Yes, boss, we all miss you."
The uncle who was in charge of the cooking came over with a smile on his face, his eyes revealing his concern for Ni'er. "Boss, I'll go get you some of your favorite dishes to replenish your body. I'll go now. Do you miss this?"
At this time, the noodle shop lady squeezed through the crowd and came to Ni'er. She looked at her with concern and said, "Boss, how come you have lost so much weight? I'll go make you a bowl of noodles and two poached eggs."
Ni'er quickly waved her hand and said, "Don't bother, I'm not hungry."
But the noodle shop lady was not willing to give in. She insisted, "How can that be? You just came back and you don't look well. I'll make you a bowl of hot noodles to help you digest it."
"As the saying goes, dumplings on the bus, noodles when you get off. It's not too late to eat those stir-fries tomorrow."
The uncle who was in charge of the cooking beside him interrupted unconvincedly after hearing this: "Boss, do you want to eat the food I cook?"
Ni'er was so moved by the scene in front of her that she couldn't express it in words.
The two of them quarreled over what she wanted to eat, just like a family, full of warmth and intimacy.
"Eat it all, eat it all. I've been in the military camp for so long that my appetite has increased. I'm sure I can eat everything you cook!" There was a hint of mischief and satisfaction in Ni'er's voice.
Hearing what Ni'er said, both of them showed happy smiles on their faces, then turned happily back to the kitchen and began to prepare food for Ni'er.
Nier turned around and her eyes fell on the employee who was quietly waiting for instructions.
"Cuizhi, please bring the account book for the time I'm away to my room. I'll take a closer look later. Also, tell me about the guests during this time."
Cuizhi nodded and said, "Okay, boss, I'll do it right away."
After saying that, she quickly walked to the accounting office to get the account book.
Not long after, several large and heavy account books were moved into Nier's study.
"Boss, these are all the accounts during the time you were away." Cuizhi said confidently.
Nier opened one of the books and carefully checked the records on each page.
"We've had 123 new customers these days, 96 of whom have become repeat customers, dining in at least four times. Our customer base has increased compared to before."
Cuizhi continued to report, her voice clear and her words well-organized.
Nier nodded with satisfaction. She felt quite relieved about the data.
This means that the store's business was not greatly affected during her absence and actually grew quite well.
