Wang Youbao did not mention that he and An Jing Xiao Changyi were partners in opening this tavern, but instead said politely and loudly, "I am Wang Youbao, as I said earlier, this tavern is opened by me. Here, I assure everyone, if there is ever an unclean dish at Qian Wei Tavern in the future, Qian Wei Tavern will compensate double the amount, and we will never go back on our word. Later on, I will have the shopkeeper write this rule on red paper and post it at the entrance, so everyone can rest assured."
At this moment, Wang Youbao could tell that An Jing said this to improve the reputation of the tavern.
Although the tavern had just been wrongly accused by the bearded brute, this still had a certain impact on the business. Now, with the double compensation policy, not only was this impact nullified, but it also propelled the tavern’s reputation to new heights.
At this moment, Wang Youbao felt extremely impressed with An Jing to the utmost degree. His friend was truly a business prodigy!
Once Wang Youbao made this statement, everyone believed in the promise of double compensation, were very happy, and promptly forgot the unpleasant episode, returning to their seats to continue their meals.
While eating, some people were also discussing the double compensation policy, since it was a rare occurrence, and they talked about it with great interest.
Later, through these people, the policy of the Qian Wei Tavern to offer double compensation for unclean dishes quickly spread throughout Hecheng County, attracting even more people to dine at Qian Wei Tavern.
Naturally, the business of Qian Wei Tavern improved.
Of course, these are all later developments.
Seeing that the customers had all returned to their places and that it had no effect on the business, Wang Youbao felt even more relieved and turned to An Jing and Xiao Changyi with a smile, "An Jing, Changyi, we owe a lot to your help today, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"No need for thanks, isn’t the tavern also partly ours?" An Jing said with a smile. "As for you, don’t blame me for taking matters into my own hands and sending that man to the government for punishment. Wang Youtao is definitely going to get caught and beaten too."
Wang Youbao said, "What you are talking about, Wang Youtao brought this on himself."
An Jing nodded in satisfaction, "It’s good that you can think this way."
Understanding her meaning, Wang Youbao laughed, "I have already cut ties completely with my uncle’s family, and even if I still recognize Wang Youtao as my cousin, given how he tried to harm me, I will not show any mercy."
An Jing did not say anything more, but called over a waiter to settle the bill.
Wang Youbao immediately objected, "We don’t pay for meals in our own tavern."
An Jing said, "Each matter is separate, accounts must be absolutely clear and detailed."
Wang Youbao no longer stopped Xiao Changyi from paying the waiter, but said, "Don’t worry, I was afraid that the shopkeeper would be too busy, so I also hired an Accountant Mister to help manage everything, every transaction is recorded clearly, even the smallest one is noted down."
"That is good," An Jing said, quite satisfied.
They ordered only one meat dish and two vegetarian dishes, which cost over two taels of silver. Watching Xiao Changyi pay the waiter, An Jing whispered to Wang Youbao with a smile, "Your dishes are quite expensive."
Wang Youbao also lowered his voice, while still smiling, "Expensive doesn’t matter, as long as people are willing to spend the money to come eat."
An Jing was silent for two seconds before she and Xiao Changyi, fingers interlocked, walked out of the tavern, with Wang Youbao seeing them off.
Once they stepped out of the tavern, An Jing pointed to her family’s rice shop and said, "Youbao, that rice shop belongs to my family, and I estimate it will be officially open in a few days."
Wang Youbao was quite surprised but tactfully did not ask An Jing and Xiao Changyi why they suddenly decided to open a rice shop.
