Xu Qinyu took the three ladies to Jinxiu Garden.

From the restaurant to the Jinxiu Garden, a small road was specially built. There are flowers and plants on both sides, and many crape myrtle trees are planted. Even now, the flowers and plants have just been planted and have not yet bloomed. The crape myrtle trees on both sides are still small. It will definitely not be able to grow this year. In addition, there is a long wooden chair for people to sit down and rest temporarily. In summer, there is a relatively large garden behind. , There are no things planted in it for the time being. Xu Qinyu intends to use it to make a garden for people to rest while planting grape seedlings.

On the Jinxiuyuan side, there are twenty courtyards, large and small.

There are four wing rooms in the smallest yard. There is a separate clean room in the wing room. There is also a small kitchen in each yard and earmuff room. in use. There are six wing rooms in the large yard, and each wing room is also equipped with a separate clean room, utility room, ear muff room and kitchenette.

In these courtyards, the small courtyard can accommodate four guests, and the large courtyard can accommodate six guests.

Of course, the bed in the wing room is also big enough, a one-meter-eight wooden frame bed. There are bedside tables of the same color on both sides of the wooden frame bed, and a vertical cabinet is erected next to it to store clothes. There is also a table under the window. Dressing table, with bronze mirrors, dressing gowns, etc., here is the resting master bedroom, which is separated by a drapery. There is a couch outside, and a long wooden table. On the table, only a simple white porcelain vase is used, with a few wild peach or wild pear flowers picked from the mountains, or some other long flowers. Branches, there is a square table in the other corner, surrounded by a few chairs, which is a dining table for eating.

Guests who live in Jinxiu Garden, if they don't want to go to the restaurant to eat, can order food in the wing, and let the lady who is serving in the courtyard go to the restaurant and bring the food to eat here.

The area on the side of the master bedroom has a huge window, which can be opened to see the flowers and plants planted in the yard.

If there is wind, the breeze blows in, the curtains float up, and it looks like a fairy.

It's a pity that the flowers and plants outside the window have not grown yet, otherwise the curtains are fluttering, and people's mood can be relaxed after watching the flowers and scenery outside.

In addition, there is a shoe cabinet at the entrance of the wing room, on which some small vases and small ornaments can be placed, and the bottom is opened to store embroidered shoes and boots.

The whole is decorated according to some styles of later generations, but the whole is made of solid wood, which is antique.

The price of staying in such a room is one tael of silver.

No matter how many people stay, the price is the same.

But the general recommendation is to only stay for two people, and some close friends can come together and live in the same wing.

This is just the price of accommodation, the hot springs are free.

Even if you want to loosen your muscles and bones on weekdays, and you want to use rouge gouache, incense, and cream, you will have to pay extra.

Of course, you can choose not to use these, it depends on the customers' own consumption concept.

When Mrs. Lu brought her two girlfriends to Xianzongyuan, each yard had its own name. After entering the Moon Gate, there was also a rose vine climbing on the Moon Gate, but it also did not bloom.

There is also a rockery in each yard, and next to it is a small fish pond, which raises some water lilies and a few small koi.

When they entered the yard, Mrs. He and Mrs. Yu couldn't feel anything, but Mrs. Lu knew that in a few months, all the flowers and plants in the yard would grow into full bloom. How beautiful the whole yard can be is obviously also carefully designed. passed.

It was not until they entered the wing room that the He and Yu families were a little surprised. Although the furniture inside was not made of more expensive wood, and there was no common imperial concubine's couch and some furniture, they were very comfortable and immortal all day long. Fluttering, the lighting is also excellent, and it is relatively spacious. Just watching the curtains being blown by the wind, my mood is somewhat comforted.

The two of them felt more comfortable.

Naturally, it is impossible for the three of them to live in the same room, they all live separately.

Xu Qinyu told the three that they could go to the hot spring first.

Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "What is the hot spring that Mrs. Xu said?"

Xu Qinyu led the three to the hot spring pool again.

The hot spring pool is on the right side of the yard, no matter which yard it is from, it is a straight line distance and relatively close.

When they got here, the three of them were a little surprised.

Xu Qinyu briefly explained the effect of the hot spring to the three of them.

Mrs. Lu didn't care much about this. The yard here was uninhabited, and it was relatively secret, so no one would peek at it, but she wanted to soak in the pool.

But Mrs. He and Mrs. Yu couldn't let go, and they didn't know whether the hot spring could take a bath or not. They already knew that the hot spring was underground hot spring water, which was different from the usual mountain spring water. Can use it for a bath now?

The two finally declined, and finally saw that Mrs. Lu wanted to stay in the hot spring, they didn't say anything, and planned to stay by the side.

Mrs. Lu knew some of Miss Xu's abilities and believed her.

Seeing that there were no guests at the moment, Xu Qinyu took a dip in the hot spring with Mrs. Lu.

It's still late spring, and the spring is cold, and the hot springs are the most comfortable.

The other two ladies sat and chatted on the bench beside them.

Mrs. Lu is definitely not as open as later generations. She was wearing a silk and satin t-shirt, but the moment she entered the water, Mrs. Lu clearly felt that it was different from the feeling of washing with hot water at her own house. It was very comfortable.

Xu Qinyu also undressed and went in.

In fact, since the hot spring pool was completed, she and Mrs Wen also came over to take a dip, and they were kept outside.

Wen Shi was embarrassed at first, but then she was just with Yu Niang, she also tried it, and she naturally liked it after soaking.

The two were chatting while leaning against the hot spring pool, and Mrs. Lu sighed comfortably, "This hot spring is really comfortable."

Xu Qinyu took the opportunity to tell Mrs. Lu the efficacy of the hot spring, what can make the skin better, some old cold legs, and some uncomfortable minor problems on the body can be relieved by the hot spring bubbles. In short, there are benefits, but it is not a panacea, it is only a relief.

Mrs. He and Mrs. Yu were sitting on a bench not far away and watching the two of them have a bath. Mrs. He couldn't help but say, "Let's go to the bubble, his face looks better, his face is flushing, is it possible that this is true? Is it really good for the body to soak in something?"

Yu didn't know either.

The two didn't soak for a long time, they soaked for more than a quarter of an hour, that is, twenty or thirty minutes.

Don't soak in hot springs for too long at first.

Xu Qinyu also told Mrs. Lu this.

Several people returned to Xianzongyuan again, and Mrs. He and Mrs. Yu ordered hot water to wash up.

Xu Qinyu pushed the cream and incense unique to Jinxiu Garden to the three of them.

After soaking in the hot spring and washing up, the cream can be applied to the whole body, and the incense can also be lit on the soothing incense, and then the little lady who is waiting outside the door is called to help knead the muscles and bones and rest.

The three of them naturally have to try.

After Mr. He and Mrs. Yu washed up, let the lady who was waiting help them apply cream, then put on their middle clothes, lit the good-smelling incense, and let the lady help them knead their muscles and bones.

Kneading like this, feel a little drowsy...

When he opened his eyes, it was already an hour later.

It was just an hour, but it was more comfortable than sleeping for three or four hours on weekdays.

Especially Mrs. Lu, her body was very relaxed. When she put on her clothes and took a picture in front of the bronze mirror, she felt that her complexion was a little ruder than before, her lips were more smeared with blood, and people looked more delicate.

Rest well, Mrs. Lu naturally went to find two girlfriends, and went to the restaurant for dinner.

He and Yu slept very comfortably, but when they saw Madam Lu, they were a little surprised and looked much better.

Mrs. Lu advised: "It should be the effect of the hot spring. After soaking, it will loosen the muscles and bones. It's really comfortable. You can try it next time. It's the same effect when soaked in it."

Seeing that Mrs. Lu looked so good, the two couldn't help but be moved, "After dinner that night, we'll try it."

The three of them said, preparing to go to the restaurant, but before they walked over, they had already smelled the strong aroma.

When she arrived at the restaurant, the fragrance was even stronger. Mrs. Lu was already familiar with the fragrance of Xu Ji's food, but today's fragrance was completely different from the past, with a stronger and more exotic meat fragrance, which made even her greedy, let alone He Yu two .

In the private room on the second floor, the crispy suckling pig was served on the table. Xu Qinyu helped them cut the suckling pig into evenly sized pieces with the back of a knife, and each took a piece for them and let them taste it.

He Yu and the two couldn't help but murmured, "Li Hua, I finally know why you must have us here."

The two finally understood why their girlfriends had to invite them to the restaurant, and they also said that the food was amazing.

Compared with the food in the restaurant, there is no restaurant in the city that can compare, not even the most famous signature dishes of Zuixianlou.

In the past, they had heard Mrs. Lu say how delicious and delicious the food of Xu Ji in Yuanbao Town was, and they wanted to take them with them, but they were all women with children and grandchildren, so how could they go to town for a bite of food? refused, and didn't believe it very much. thought how delicious the food made by a teenage cook in a small town.

I just found out today that they were so wrong.

It's so delicious!

It's all pork. Madam Xu is roasted like this, without the fishy smell of pork itself, which will confuse people.

The two of them have already made plans in their hearts, and when they go back, they will definitely bring their family members over to have a look.

After eating the evening meal, the three of them went back.

Because Xu Qinyu also told Mrs. Lu that this hot spring should not be soaked too many times, almost once a day, so Mrs. Lu did not go there again.

However, the two of them asked people to bring hot spring water and soak it in the room.

They didn't get up until the hot spring water in the big tub slowly cooled down. It was really comfortable.

In fact, it is the most comfortable to soak in the pool, because the hot spring water is always at this temperature, it will not become cold, and it is more conducive to blood circulation.

The next day, the three of them went to the restaurant to eat morning food.

Because there were no guests, Xu Qinyu added a lot of other morning meals in addition to the original ones that Xu remembered.

But now that there are no guests, Xu Qinyu made the meal that Mrs. Lu ordered last night.

Custard buns, crystal shrimp dumplings and seafood porridge.

The seafood porridge is boiled with fresh river prawns, river crabs, and dried scallops. It also adds Xu Qinyu's own winter vegetables and peanut sauce. The taste is extremely sweet.

Seafood porridge is also a new product, and Mrs. Lu was very satisfied.

Even the two of them are the same.

The three lived here, and at noon, the Dong family also brought their youngest daughter, Sister Yu, and a few friends of the Dong family.

Because the Dong Clan and the others are all from Yuanbao Town, they knew how delicious Xu Qinyu's food was, and they were very convinced by Xu Qinyu's words.

So when Xu Qinyu talked about soaking in hot springs, a few people tried it.

There is not only one hot spring pool, but several, which are also separated by heavier curtains. Several friends are soaking in the same pool, which is still very comfortable.

After soaking, go to the room to burn incense, apply cream, relax your muscles and bones and sleep, and all your tiredness will be cured.

Only then did the Dong clan know that Mrs. Xu planned to build this restaurant because all aspects should be taken into consideration.

Business may not be good now, but as long as people who come here to play will definitely come here often in the future.

The business here will be the same as Xu Ji Restaurant in the future. There will be many guests, and there may be a queue in the future.

...

Therefore, in the first few days of Xu Ji Restaurant's opening, only Mrs. Lu and the Dong family came over.

Some other wealthy people in Yuanbao Town often go to Xuji to eat, and some of them also plan to join in, but the distance is too far and it is inconvenient to leave the town.

And the Zhu family of the prefect's mansion, knowing that Xu Qinyu opened a restaurant outside the city, did not dare to bring her daughter-in-law over, just to avoid suspicion, but she still couldn't help talking to the prefect.

In the end, she also regards Yu Niang as her own junior, and she must be worried about her business.

On the contrary, Prefect Zhu was not too worried, and told Zhu Shi, "Don't worry, Yuniang's restaurant will definitely do well in the future, it's just a matter of time, her cooking skills alone can attract countless people. "

Zhu Shi thought of Yu Niang's cooking skills, which was true.

It's a pity that in order to avoid suspicion, it is not easy for her to take her children and grandchildren to the restaurant, otherwise she really wants to try it, and she also misses the food made by Yu Niang.

Mrs. Lu, Mrs. He and Mrs. Yu stayed at the restaurant for four days. In fact, Mrs. Lu wanted to stay longer, so she stayed for a few days. She felt much more comfortable than living in the city. All girlfriends are old and young, so definitely can't live in the restaurant for too long, because there is a mother-in-law above me. After go back, mother-in-law may have to nag a few more words.

When they went back, Mrs. Lu smiled and said to the two of them, "When are you going to coax your mother-in-law over to the restaurant to play, maybe the old man will not be happy, besides, even if you don't like hot springs, etc. , just eating here makes people linger and forget to return, eating for ten days and a half in a row without any resemblance, after a few days I will definitely come back by myself and stay for ten days and a half months."

He's good to hear that, her mother-in-law is not bad, and she doesn't need to let her sleep in the morning and evening on weekdays. Just go there on the morning of the 15th day of every month and ask for peace.

But it is really comfortable here, and Mrs. He also wants to bring her mother-in-law over to stay for a few days.

Hearing this, Yu couldn't help but think about it.

The family she married is the Qiu family in Raozhou City, who owns a bank. The family is very wealthy, not to mention the richest man in Raozhou City, but it must also be ranked among the top few.

Yu's family background is average, she is only the daughter of a petty official, and a petty official is not even an official. Although the Qiu family is not from an official family, but because the family is wealthy, they usually live a life of fine clothes and food, and the mother-in-law has a more temperament. Arrogant, some look down on Yu's origin.

For the past few years since the Yu family was married, most of the mornings she had to go over to say goodbye to the old lady.

The old lady also had a general attitude towards her.

This time, the old lady wouldn't have allowed her to come out to play if Mr. Lu hadn't personally delivered the post.

Yu even knew very well in her heart that when she returned, the old lady would definitely talk about her, and she had to find a way to stop the old lady's mouth.

So when he went back, Yu asked Xu Qinyu if he could order a crispy suckling pig to bring back.

Although there are countless delicacies in the restaurant, all of which are delicious, but the crispy suckling pig is probably impossible for anyone to resist. The three of them couldn't help it, and they ate for three days in a row.

Xu Qinyu smiled and said: "Of course, after taking it back, it's good to let the people in the house send the food boxes back when they have time."

The take-out food box is also made of pure wood, which is a bit expensive. The food box of this crispy suckling pig is much larger, the cost is high, and the food box cannot be thrown away.

Yu said with a smile: "Don't worry, Miss Xu, I will have someone bring the food box back when I go back."

When He heard it, he couldn't help but ask for one, and wanted to bring it back to his family to try, so that it would be easier to convince the family to come to the restaurant to eat and play in the future.

Mrs. Lu naturally brought one back and showed it to Zhen Wu. She knew that Zhen Wu would definitely like to eat it.

The three of them each ordered a crispy suckling pig to take home.

When brought it back, it happened to be the time of the evening meal.

Yu asked the little maid to carry a big food box to the dining hall.

Mrs. Qiu has only one son, and two daughters who are already married. On weekdays, the Qiu family eats together day and night.

Mr. Qiu is still alive, but because of his age, the business of the bank has been handed over to his son.

Although Mrs. Qiu looked down on her daughter-in-law's background, her daughter-in-law had given birth to three grandchildren after so many years of marriage, and even the eldest grandson married and immediately gave birth to a great-grandson for her, which made the Qiu family's incense flourish, and she also Accepted the daughter-in-law, but there is still a little unreasonable in her mouth.

Seeing Mrs. Yu coming back, the old lady Qiu said softly, "Can you have fun? As the daughter-in-law of the Qiu family, she has her parents-in-law, her grandson, and her husband to take care of her. So she left her family behind and went out for three Day, what kind of system is it?"

Mrs. Lu came from a different background, and the old lady didn't dare to refuse at the time, but now that her daughter-in-law came back, she naturally had to say a few words about her.

Mrs. Yu didn't care what the old lady said, she still smiled, "Mother, I know I was wrong, but the food in this restaurant is really delicious, I brought you some food from the restaurant, it's still hot, you and Dad Try it, it is the signature of Xuji Restaurant, crispy suckling pig."

The Qiu family was not short of money, and the old lady Qiu didn't think it was a big deal for her daughter-in-law to spend six taels of silver on food. She just frowned, "This restaurant was only opened, can the food be delicious?"

The chef of the Qiu family is also considered a famous chef, and the old lady Qiu is quite satisfied with the food he cooks on weekdays.

Yu said with a smile: "Mother, you will know after you try it."

As she spoke, she asked the maid to make room for the dishes on the table, put the whole food box on it, and then lifted the lid of the food box.

The lid is a buckle type, and it is very tight after the lid is closed, so that the fragrance and heat inside can not be released at all.

As soon as the lid of the food box was lifted, a rich aroma came out, and the roasted suckling pig in the food box had a bright red skin, and it was very appetizing when it was roasted whole.

When Grandpa Qiu saw this crispy suckling pig, he couldn't help but said, "It looks really good, it's very special, it tastes like something I've never seen before, and it smells delicious too. Is this just what Xu Ji remembered a few days ago?" On the list issued by the restaurant, the crispy suckling pig costs six taels of silver." At that time, even he thought it was a bit expensive.

Yu Shi nodded, and then chopped up the suckling pig with the back of a knife, "Master, you can try it too."

Elder Qiu first picked a piece for his father and mother, and then he picked a piece for himself, the skin is crispy and the meat is fragrant, it melts in the mouth.

Elder Qiu couldn't help hissing, "It's delicious, it's so delicious."

Mrs. Qiu and Mr. Qiu didn't talk after tasting it, and Mr. Qiu also praised: "It's fragrant, it's really delicious, it's the best thing I've ever eaten in my life, old man."

I have lived whole life, and it is indeed the first time have eaten such a delicacy.

Yu said with a smile: "Xu Ji's cook is only eighteen, and she is very famous in Yuanbao Town. Li Hua always wanted to invite us to eat in Yuanbao Town. I was thinking how delicious it would be. After eating this Only then did I realize that I was slapped in the face."

The old lady Qiu didn't speak, but she was also conquered by this crispy suckling pig in her heart.

Elder Qiu also nodded again and again, "No wonder you dare to sell six taels of silver a piece. It's worth it if you pay more for this taste. It happens that I have something to discuss with the people from the chamber of commerce in a few days, so I invite them to come here for a while. Remember to eat, but it’s inconvenient to get out of the city.”

Yu Shi said: "Master, I don't know everything. The restaurant outside the city is not just a place to eat. When the time comes, the master doesn't have to rush back. You can stay at the restaurant for two days and go to the hot spring. It's very comfortable, master. You'll know once you've lived there."

Old lady Qiu listened, feeling a little itchy in her heart.

She has lived her whole life, and it is estimated that she will only live for a few years. In the remaining few years, she naturally wants to live more comfortably and eat better.

This crispy roast suckling pig, although her teeth are not very good, she can still chew it. It is very crispy, and the meat is extremely tender, so it won't get stuck between her teeth.

Just based on this dish, she knew that the restaurant should not be easy.

Mrs. Yu saw that her mother-in-law was a little moved, and said, "The restaurant has a lot of sugar water, such as brown sugar fresh milk mochi, lotus seed lily red bean paste, poplar nectar, double skin milk, etc., and many snacks, which are also very good. It’s not too sweet to eat, it’s very suitable for mother’s taste, do you want to try it? You can try it with Aunt Jin.”

The old lady of the Jin family is old lady Qiu's best friend. They have several best friends since they were young, and now they are the only ones left. If there is any delicious food or a good show in the city on weekdays, the two of them like to make appointments together. Go eat and listen, now that there is such a place where you can eat a lot of delicious food, the old lady wants to take her old sister to try it.

The old lady Qiu thought for a while, but finally she couldn't hold it back, she didn't show anything, and said in a calm tone, "Okay, it just so happens that your aunt of the Jin family said that staying at home these days is a bit boring, and the boss is going to invite someone over there." For dinner, bring me and your aunt of the Jin family with you, and we won't bother you when we go, we will live in the garden of the women's family."

Yu pursed his lips and smiled.

Two days later, Mr. Qiu invited several people from the chamber of commerce to have dinner at the restaurant.

Several members of the chamber of commerce felt that the restaurant was a little far away.
