Chapter 151.1 – Nitpicking
Most of the people present knew this husband and wife pair, not only that, they knew that the husband was the Zhuo family’s second son Zhuo Gao Ming and the wife was Bao Xin Chun.
The husband and wife’s reputation was actually not very good, but for the sake of the quality tea in their teahouse, most people overlooked that point.
Although the Zhuo family was a family of merchants, their influence in Jun Zi City was not small.
Zhuo Gao Ming’s talent in business was not the highest among Zhuo’s sons, but it was not the worst either, it’s just that the way he did things was a little out of date.
The status of businessmen in Da Ya was not great, but they couldn’t be inferior, otherwise people would only look down on they even more. So some people might flatter them on the surface, but actually look down on them in their hearts.
When the crowd saw the husband and wife pair coming over to the restaurant, they didn’t pay it much mind.
The very nature of a teahouse and a restaurant was different. One sold tea and the other sold food and wine. No matter how you looked at it, there was not much interrelation.
So no one expected them to come here to make trouble.

There were no more open seats in the lobby on the first floor, but there were still many vacant rooms upstairs. However, the purpose of these two was not with the private rooms.
After a while, someone finally got up to settle his bill. The customer didn’t really want to leave, but the hamburger was indeed a very novel food, so he decided to buy a few back for his elderly mother, wife, and children to try.
However, Zhuo Gao Ming and Bao Xin Chun were not the only ones waiting for vacant seats. There were other people waiting eagerly on the sidelines, but most of them were literati, so they couldn’t do something like fighting over seats, which would ruin their scholarly image, not to mention, the two elders were still in the lobby and would be able to witness such a shameful scene.
So the scholars could only watch helplessly as the thick-skinned Zhuo Gao Ming and his wife snatched away their seats. They gave the two a bitter look. Now they could only look for other people to share a table with.
Zhuo Gao Ming and his wife proudly raised their chins.
“Waiter.”
Zhuo Gao Ming picked up the menu on the table, glanced at it casually, and suddenly called for the waiter in a loud voice. Many guests around him frowned.
A waiter quickly came over to them. He cleared away the cups and dishes on the table. Then he wiped the table down with a wet towel and a dry towel alternately. Then he asked politely, “What would these two customers like?”
Originally Bao Xin Chun wanted to complain that the table was dirty, but upon seeing the waiter’s actions, she could only open and close her mouth in silence. In the end, she held back her complaint, albeit unwillingly.
While flipping through the menu, Zhuo Gao Ming asked carelessly, “What signature dishes does your restaurant have?”
The waiter was momentarily stumped. He looked at the menu in Zhuo Gao Ming’s hand, and then he looked at the man’s expression. The waiter rolled his eyes and explained, “Sir, please look at the third page of the menu in your hand. The signature dishes are all written on it, and the first two pages are the catalog of various dishes. If you need anything, you can directly turn to that page, and the price is written on the back.”

Zhuo Gao Ming’s expression suddenly sunk. He slapped the menu onto the table, “I’m asking about the signature dishes in your restaurant, not for you to tell me about the menu, is this how your restaurant serves guests?”
The waiter has already confirmed that the other person was here to nitpick and find fault with them. The man’s actions were so obvious that the waiter wanted to roll his eyes at them. Did this guy think he was all that? Such an unreasonable person.
The boss did say that the customer was king, so no matter how irritated the waiters felt, they couldn’t express that in front of the customers. That was, unless the other party was deliberately trying to pick a fight, then they could handle the situation as they saw fit as long as it did not damage the reputation of the restaurant.

“Sir, you asked this little one what are the signature dishes, and this little one said that the signature dishes are written on the third page of the menu. This little one does not think he has said anything wrong. If you think that turning a few pages is too tiring for you, then this little one is willing to help you turn to the third page. Is that okay?”
The waiter showed an impeccable smile.
Zhuo Gao Ming could feel everyone looking at him with ridicule and mockery in their eyes, and his face flushed immediately. He wanted to refute, but he couldn’t think of how to refute.
In the end, Bao Xin Chun was wittier, and her brisk laughter attracted everyone’s attention to her.
Wow, okay
