Chapter 642 Quit Drinking
As a result, some guests came less frequently.
Other restaurants also gradually attracted some customers due to price adjustments.
Nier felt that now that the restaurant's business had returned to normal, it was time to thank those who had helped her.
Ni'er thought of Prince Li. Ever since he came to the restaurant that day and seemed to be in a bad mood, he has not come in person for several days, and every time he asked the servants to carry the dishes back.
Nier felt that it was impolite to visit someone so rashly, so she asked someone how to write a visiting card.
Ni'er picked up a pen and wrote a visiting card, then put it in Prince Li's food box.
That very evening, Mr. Zhai came to the restaurant for dinner as usual.
Ni'er's heart moved, and she thought it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to thank him in person.
Master Zhai shouted to the waiter with full energy: "Serve the three dishes!" His voice was so loud that it seemed to penetrate the roof.
Seeing this, Ni'er, who was standing by, quickly waved to the waiter and said softly, "Master Zhai, I'm treating you today. I have a few new dishes. Please try them. Please go upstairs."
After hearing this, Master Zhai showed a little surprise on his face, but then he smiled and responded: "Oh, it's still a private room, then I won't be polite!"
"But forget about the treat. You've already treated me so many times. If I keep going like this, people will think I'm a freeloader!"
Nier said with a smile on her face: "After this meal, I won't treat you again. It's mainly because you helped me a lot, and I especially want to thank you."
"If I don't treat you to a meal, I will really feel bad."
Master Zhai waved his hand quickly and responded with a smile: "Young shopkeeper, you are so polite. You saved my life. I should thank you!"
"However, since you are so enthusiastic, I will respectfully obey you!"
The two of them walked into the box while chatting and laughing.
Before long, sumptuous dishes were served on the table one after another.
When Ni'er saw the jar of wine on the table, she picked up the jar without saying a word and was about to pour wine for Young Master Zhai.
However, just as she was about to pour the wine, Master Zhai suddenly reached out to stop her.
"Young shopkeeper, I'm so sorry. I don't drink alcohol anymore. Let's have tea instead." Young Master Zhai said apologetically.
Nier was a little surprised, but she reacted quickly and said with a smile: "Oh, so it's good not to drink."
Nier looked at Master Zhai curiously and couldn't help asking, "Master Zhai, why did you want to quit drinking?"
Master Zhai smiled slightly, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and then poured another cup for Ni'er, then slowly said: "Drinking is a hindrance to my work, I have decided to quit drinking recently."
When Nier heard this, her eyes widened in surprise.
She knew that it was not easy to quit drinking, and that Young Master Zhai must have drunk a lot of alcohol in various occasions.
Nier smiled and said, "It's not something that most people can do to quit smoking immediately. It's really admirable."
Master Zhai sighed helplessly: "Alas, although I have made up my mind to quit, I may not be able to succeed."
Seeing this, Nier couldn't help but chuckle and comforted her, "If you really want to quit, I can help you."
When Master Zhai heard Ni'er's words, his heart tightened and he waved his hands quickly, "Ah? No, no, it's too much trouble for you. I get dizzy when I see acupuncture needles. I think I am still capable of quitting it."
As he said that, Mr. Zhai quickly put a mouthful of food into his mouth, as if trying to hide his nervousness.
After a while, Master Zhai seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Ni'er, "Oh, my family wants me to go to the military camp for some experience, but I haven't decided whether to go or not. What do you think I should do? Or can you help me make a decision?"
Nier asked in surprise: "You trust me so much?"
Seeing this, Master Zhai nodded without hesitation.
When Ni'er saw this, she couldn't help but feel moved.
Master Zhai continued, "You are so young and you have opened such a big restaurant by yourself, and you also have a crayfish shop. The business is so prosperous that customers are almost knocking down the door."
"And you are also proficient in medicine, which is not something that ordinary people can do. This shows that you are smart and clever, and you are definitely not an ordinary person."
"It's my great honor to meet you. Of course I want to hear your opinion."
Ni'er thought to herself that Master Zhai's family elders were all powerful people, and she was really flattered that they now valued her opinion so much.
Nier paused for a moment and continued, "This is a great thing. Although military life is hard, I think it is very suitable for you. You are born with great strength and a sharp mind, but you have a slightly impatient temper."
"Going to the army to gain some experience and sharpen your character, you will definitely become an outstanding general in the future."
As Ni'er spoke, she paid attention to Mr. Zhai's reaction.
Master Zhai had a smug smile on his face, as if he had already seen the glorious scene of himself becoming a handsome man.
He said to himself, "I actually have the potential to become a handsome man. It's really unexpected!"
"That Prince Li, I have long been dissatisfied with him. If I could really become the marshal, he would have to obey my orders obediently, haha!"
The more Master Zhai thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't help rubbing his hands and continued, "However, if you want to become a real handsome talent, I'm afraid you still have to put in some effort."
"But it doesn't matter. As long as I can make Prince Li bow down to me, what does this little bit of hard work matter?"
Various images of commanding thousands of troops began to emerge in his mind. He imagined himself looking so majestic on the battlefield, and his heart was full of anticipation.
Master Zhai looked at Ni'er excitedly, "I love to hear you talk! As long as I can become a handsome man, my family will definitely stop nagging me all day long like they do now."
"They will no longer look at me with disappointed eyes, and they will no longer sigh when they see me."
He patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, I will listen to you and work hard! When the time comes, I will come back with military merits and be proud of myself!"
Ni'er originally thought that Mr. Zhai would not listen to her advice, after all, he had his own ideas, but she didn't expect him to be so open-minded and figured it out all at once.
It seems that after experiencing life and death, people's thoughts will change a lot, and their views on many things will become more indifferent.
"Okay, when you return triumphantly, I will definitely give you a grand celebration banquet!" Nier said cheerfully.
