Chapter 1246: Giving Enough Face
Prince Qi’s Residence awarded a plaque.
What an immense honor this was!
Especially since it was the second time the same shop had been awarded a plaque in succession, which showed just how much the Prince Qi’s Residence valued Zuixiang Restaurant. Ordinary shops could not dream of such favor, not even once, let alone twice.
Zuixiang Restaurant had now received plaques from Prince Qi’s Residence not once but twice, with this latest one being even more precious than the first. It seemed that Su Yunjin and her husband, Gu Ya, had indeed found a powerful patron in Prince Qi’s Residence.
Among the onlookers were owners of other nearby shops, all of whom envied Su Yunjin for receiving such a rare honor. The crowd buzzed with conversation at the sight.
"Look, Prince Qi’s Residence has come to present another plaque to Zuixiang Restaurant! Just look at that plaque; it’s clearly top-quality. The wood, the craftsmanship—probably not a single carpenter in town could produce its like!"
"Isn’t that the truth? A plaque sent by the Residence is bound to be of the finest quality. Who knows what stroke of tremendous fortune has led Prince Qi’s Residence to hold Zuixiang Restaurant in such high regard?"
"Hey, do you think that since Prince Qi’s Residence holds Zuixiang Restaurant in such esteem, the restaurant’s fruit wine might become Donglin’s official court wine in the future?"
"..."
The crowd kept exchanging words, all discussing the gifting of the plaque by Prince Qi’s Residence. Wang Meng and Gu Jianghai, seeing that it was Prince Qi’s Residence awarding the plaque, withdrew their fists, feeling genuinely happy for the couple, Su Yunjin and Gu Ya, even though they didn’t understand the relationship between Su Yunjin and Prince Qi’s Residence.
