Chapter 1571: Chapter 1443: Boss Zhou [Double-Length]
Although their rooster isn’t exactly small and the duck isn’t particularly old, they should still taste good!
Lun Chuan’s eyes lit up: “Great!”
The atmosphere at their class reunion was harmonious and pleasant, and Yuan Jiawen quietly drank tea, temporarily taking a back seat. anwhile, in the private room next door, the guests weren’t very happy.
“When you said the tea I brought was ‘okay,’ what did you an by that?”
It was Boss Zhou who spoke, the one hosting today. He was around fifty, a bit stout, and even though he spoke with a stern face, he looked quite intimidating.
The waitress was already getting nervous.
She honestly didn’t an it that way!
In places like these rural inns, to keep the atmosphere down-to-earth and to ensure the waitstaff are more nimble, they mostly hire older people.
She was a woman in her forties, initially responsible for the private room next door, which was full of young people who weren’t very picky, so two new waitstaff were also assigned to assist her.
Over here, however, it seed harder to please. Everyone claid to know the boss, so the manager assigned two experienced employees.
Everything was going smoothly until soone specially took out a treasured packet of tea from a gift box: “Waitress, co, set up your tea stand properly! This is a rare tea I got through connections; it’s not sothing ordinary folks can drink.”
Usually, in a setting like this, people would gather around and offer appreciative comnts. But after the water boiled, the boss started pouring tea, speaking grandly and asking the waitress beside him: “See, didn’t I tell you? When have you ever slled this fragrance anywhere else?”
The waitress naturally played along, as she was used to it, and was supposed to praise it superficially. But at that mont, the woman was daydreaming a bit, and the words just slipped out of her mouth:
“It’s okay.”
As soon as she realized what she said, she quickly added with a smile: “What I an is, I’m not that knowledgeable about tea at my age, so I can’t say much. It’s very fragrant, sothing you don’t co across often!”
In fact, they were brewing Tieguanyin with an orchid fragrance, which was in a different league from the green tea next door. She was genuinely overwheld by the aroma at that mont, so much so that her mind was still filled with that scent.
Unfortunately, Boss Zhou wasn’t buying it.
Such a good tea, and he had invited such important guests, what did she an by “it’s okay”?
Were the invited guests trying to smooth things over: “Indeed, it does sll quite unique…”
“Right, it slls like a high-grade tea, we’re lucky today thanks to you!”
“What’s the point of arguing with a waitress? She doesn’t have ti to drink tea every day; she just said it off the top of her head.”
The more everyone tried to persuade him, the more worked up the boss got!
In the end, he stood up, fuming: “No, I’m a stickler for details, a spade is a spade. Good tea is good, and if it’s not, it’s not. I’m sincere in hosting you all, and I won’t stand for being told that I’m using subpar products! Waitress, clarify for , what exactly qualifies as good tea? Demonstrate, if you don’t break it down for
today, I’ll call your manager over shortly!”
There was no need to wait, soone had already alerted the manager at the prep station.
By the ti the manager arrived and made countless peace offerings, and after offering two extra dishes, things finally cald down.
The manager was speechless, and the waitress was frustrated. As soon as they exited, she was scolded: “You’re an experienced employee now, no matter what the guest brings, you’re supposed to praise it… Look at what you said!”
Given that it was still guest service period, she didn’t plan to say much, but the waitress felt wronged inside and couldn’t help but speak up: “It’s really not my fault… I was just at the Silk Bamboo Hall next door, their tea is truly top-notch, even soone like
who knows nothing about tea could tell… It’s really different.”
The fragrance left her utterly dazed.
Manager: “???”
She knew her own staff well, and the waitress indeed wasn’t soone well-versed in tea, but even she said so—
“I’ll go have a look.”
Entering the prep area from the back door, she inquired about the basic situation inside and could already sll the faint aroma of tea.
It truly was an amazing scent!
She couldn’t help but take a deep breath, intending to leave, but as soon as she opened the door, there stood a familiar middle-aged man!
Pushing her aside, he said: “I just have to see what kind of tea this is that warrants such overt and covert praise!”
He was middle-aged, with a loud voice, and as soon as the door opened, the mild commotion outside and his yelling ca through, making Zheng Qu stand up instinctively:
