The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich Chapter 212 - Sadly, She's A Jinx

Chapter 212: Sadly, She’s A Jinx

There was a limited amount of food supply provided every day. It aroused the curiosity and appet.i.te of the customers every day. The inn managed to maintain its sales, and its profits increased by several times.

If not for the limited quant.i.ty available daily, the customers would have gotten tired of the new recipes already. This was a brand new sales and promotion method.

Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “hmm, things look good.”

Manager Liu smiled and said, “that’s right. It’s all thanks to Miss Lin’s good ideas that Yuelai Inn’s business is getting better and better.”

Lin Yuelan said with a smile, “Manager Liu, you really have a way with words!”

Manager Liu smiled but did not reply.

After a while, Manager Liu thought of something. Then, he asked in a fawning manner, “Miss Lin, the soy sauce is running out soon. Do you…” Do you know when the next batch will be delivered?

Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “Actually, that’s also why I’m here today.” As she spoke, she took out a porcelain bottle from her bag and handed it to Manager Liu. “I think this should be enough.”

Manager Liu took it and was about to say something when a commotion suddenly broke out in the hall.

“Ouch, my stomach hurts…” A dark-skinned, thin, and sneaky-looking man suddenly covered his stomach and rolled on the ground. He shouted, “Ouch, it hurts so much. This fish is poisonous. I’m poisoned…”

All the guests in the hall looked at the man rolling on the ground in surprise. Everyone immediately stopped eating.

“Everyone, stop eating! The fish is poisonous…” The man kept shouting loudly, full of anger. “This shop is trying to kill us! They serve us poisonous fish to eat!”

Everyone put down their chopsticks in unison.

Manager Liu walked towards the poisoned man and asked with his head lowered, “Sir, what’s wrong?” When he saw the person clearly, Manager Liu’s expression changed slightly, but he still maintained his politeness.

“What do you think?” The man replied loudly, “I ate the fish here, and now my stomach is hurting. Your fish must be poisonous! You are really horrible. How can you serve your guests poisonous fish?”

Lin Yuelan also walked forward and stood beside Manager Liu. She pursed her lips into a cold smile and looked at the troublemaker with cold eyes.

Manager Liu said seriously, “Sir, every fish in Yuelai Inn is carefully selected. The carps, crucian carps, gra.s.s carps, and bighead carps are common fish species. None of them is poisonous.” Even though Lin Yuelan had provided them with fish recipes, she asked Yuelai Inn to only serve carp for now. When the customers got tired of carp, she would provide recipes for other types of fish.

The poisoned man shrieked even more painfully. He was still holding his stomach with one hand as he mumbled, “Ouch, it hurts so much. I don’t care about the fish species. The fact is my stomach hurt after I ate the fish here. Your fish is poisonous. How cruel you must be!”

Manager Liu looked at the empty plates on the dining table. The plates were all licked clean. It was more likely that the man was there to cause trouble.

Manager Liu continued to ask, “Then, Sir, what do you want us to do?”

The man immediately replied, “You must compensate me!”

In order not to disturb the other customers, Manager Liu nodded and said, “alright, I’ll give you 50 copper coins. Waiter, take fifty copper coins from the counter and give this customer so that he could go and see a doctor.” In fact, 10 coppers would have been enough.

“Alright!” The waiter immediately replied. After that, he took out 50 copper coins from the counter and walked in front of that person, saying, “Sir, here you go!”

The man’s face darkened, and he roared at Manager Liu, “What is the meaning of this? Your fish dish costs more than 50 copper coins. Hmph, I knew this was a black-hearted shop. Do you think you can dismiss a customer with 50 copper coins after you’ve poisoned him? Everyone, please help me. Is that reasonable?”
