Chapter 251: Aftermath of Becoming Famous (2)

Mr Wang suddenly recalled that some of his old friends would be coming to the capital soon. If those old fellows were to taste these dishes, they would probably become addicts on the spot.

By the time Mr Wang finally regained his senses, there were only scattered dishes and cups left on the table. He gaped in shock with his chopsticks still raised in his right hand. All the dishes had been completely emptied. Some of the customers had even poured the remaining bits of sauce into their bowls and scarfed it down with rice.

"Damn it, I've lived for over thirty years and I've never tasted anything as delicious as this before," lamented a stocky middle-aged man wearing a short tunic.

Mr Wang slammed his chopsticks on the table in a fit of anger. Although he looked down on this group of people for wolfing down all the food without any manners at all, he realised that he would have acted the same way if he hadn't been lost in his thoughts. Actually, Mr Wang had the same laments as that stocky man. Compared to that man's thirty years of life, the fifty-year-old Mr Wang was starting to think that all the food he had eaten before had gone to waste.

After eating such amazing food, he felt that the past fifty years of his life were spent living in hell.

The excitement of Guilin Restaurant's opening finally drew to a close.

Now that the opening had officially ended, the old west market started to recover some of its usual peace and quiet.

When night fell, Chu Lian returned to the Jing'an Estate together with her servants. Manager Qin would take care of the remaining business at Guilin Restaurant, so she didn't have to do anything else.

When she returned to the estate, she first reported everything over at Qingxi Hall before returning to her Songtao Court. Senior Servant Gui knew what Chu Lian's habits were like; after such a busy day, Chu Lian was definitely going to take a good rest.

Thus, she had already prepared some soup for Chu Lian. After Chu Lian took a bath and ate some red bean porridge, she immediately entered her bedroom and laid down.

The next day, before the sun had even risen, the narrow entrance of the old west market seemed to have regained some of its past glory.

It wasn't just the richer common folk who had gathered there. There were even expensive-looking carriages from different noble estates lined up at the market's entrance.

In order to stay close to Guilin Restaurant and be at hand for any matters, Manager Qin slept in one of the courtyards at the back of Guilin Restaurant. Now that the opening day was over, it was as if a burden had lifted from everyone's hearts. When it was time to rest at night, their hearts and minds had already completely relaxed.

However, before they could get a good night's sleep, someone knocked loudly at Guilin Restaurant's entrance.

Manager Qin struggled to open his eyes. He got off the bed and pushed the windows open a little. When he saw that it was still dark outside and that the moon was still hanging high in the sky, he guessed that it was around 4 in the morning.

Just as he was about to return to bed and continue sleeping, there was a knock on the door of his room. "Manager Qin, Manager Qin! Wake up! Come over to the entrance and take a look! Someone charged into the restaurant!"

What!

Manager Qin was shocked wide awake thanks to the furious knocks on his door and the anxious tone of the server outside. He didn't bother trying to go back to bed and instead tugged on his outer robe and opened the door.
