While everyone on Xianggui Street was busy preparing for the opening of the restaurant and offering vegetarian food at the Grand Buddhist Temple, the sixth day of the Lunar New Year arrived.

Chen Nianjian went back to Imperial College, Zeng Si went back to Meilu Academy, and only Zhang Erlang was left alone to study at home.

"Yulang, it doesn't matter if you don't go to the academy or find your wife?"

Although my husband has always been lucky?????, but before going through three trials and beheading six generals, it is inseparable from the master's guidance in Qingyun Academy, right?

She asked Zeng Si to inquire about Yang Jishan's situation, and she knew that she would be resting at home for at least two months, so if she didn't go to Meilu Academy because she was afraid of Yang Jishan, it was unnecessary.

"It's okay, I can review the book by myself."

Now that he is facing the most important Jinshi examination, why should he not go to the academy and rely on self-study?

Facing Chen Nianguan's puzzled eyes, Zhang Erlang smiled: "Don't worry, just like a lady knows about the restaurant you opened, Su Zhai worships, I also have my own opinions on how to prepare for the spring."

Chen Nianguan thinks about it too.

After passing the test along the way, Zhang Erlang is indeed in charge of his studies. Facing such an important test like Chun Wei, since he said he has an opinion, it should be true.

Chen Nianguan knows that although some people in the world are slow learners, they are very talented, and they can learn a lot without a teacher. Is my husband also this type?

Seeing that the dog days were approaching, the two beasts returned to Xianggui Street and told her that the ice cellar lived up to expectations. After the construction was finally completed, Chen Nianguan let go of his worries about Zhang Erlang and went to inspect the ice cellar.

When Chen Nianguan passed by, the guards staying at the restaurant were very polite and respectful to her.

After the Nine Dagui on New Year’s Eve, the seven wooden stewards were in charge of the food they were given to them every day.He continued to work neatly.

Encouraged by Chen Nianguan's generous provision of abundant meals, everyone worked hard and diligently. By this time, not only the cellar was completed, but even the third floor of the commercial building was almost completed.

If it weren't for the sudden intention to open the second and third floors of the new commercial building as newly opened boxes and venues, after the custom-made cooking utensils, bowls, chopsticks, etc. are ready, the Chen Family Restaurant can open, but Chen Nianguan can't do it.As soon as did it, wanted to do something big, so waited for the three-story commercial building to be built before making arrangements for the opening of the store, and then set the official opening date for the Shangyuan Festival.

Now the middle aisle adjacent to the restaurant on the second floor of the commercial building is built with round and square columns as pillars, supporting the aisle from the box on the second floor of the restaurant to the second floor of the commercial building, passing through the aisle to the commercial building, and leading to the commercial building on the leftThere are eight private rooms on the second floor, leading up to the meeting room on the third floor from the right, and a door that can be locked down. Usually, the second floor and the first floor are sealed off, but an additional staff room is set up in the aisle.The wooden ladder is convenient for employees to send food directly from the two kitchens downstairs to the second floor.

That's right, two kitchens.

The restaurant originally had a converted kitchen with two large wing rooms, but the two wing rooms on the side of the restaurant have also been transformed into a kitchen similar to the back kitchen of a sugar shop. The first purpose is to store refrigerated and frozen meat ingredients.The second use is a place dedicated to making sugar water desserts. In summer, it is the main force for making cold products.

In this way, to a certain extent, the pressure on the original restaurant kitchen due to the increased space for accommodating diners is relieved, and more ingredients can be stored, which kills two birds with one stone.

Naturally, there is no way to ensure that the box on the side of the store is as exquisite as the box in the restaurant, but Chen Nianguan still chose high-quality wood with similar colors. The wood on the second and third floors alone cost as much as three hundred taels of silver, but the final effect is indeed quite beautiful, so Chen Nianguan is very satisfied even though Little Darling is throbbing.

Although there is a difference in color difference, the two buildings still look very harmonious. After the roof of the third floor is completed in two days, the small and exquisite high-rise building will be completed, which complements the magnificent Chen's restaurant next to it.

After checking the progress of the second and third floors, Chen Nianguan went down to the first floor, where her future ice shop will be.

The shop is quite spacious. After all, it can earn a living for three years after opening.

The entrance door of the ice cellar is naturally set at the innermost part, and the rest is the ice table and large cabinets for storing ice temporarily, as well as the cashier area of the shopkeeper and a simple rest area for employees.

The structure of the ice cellar is similar to that of Prefecture City, but it is larger than that of Prefecture City, and it takes more manpower and time. The entire ice cellar was completed, and it took about three hundred taels of silver, and the ice that can be stored inside can reach up to six thousandcubes of ice.

Not only that, but a small warehouse for sauces has also been set up in the ice cellar to cope with the additional storage during the hot summer weather - the place where ice cubes are placed is naturally the coldest place, it would be a waste not to use such a good environment.

After visiting the newly built ice cellar and confirming that there were no hidden dangers, Chen Nianguan settled the wages of the masons and coolies who had been working recently, and went to the restaurant to pay the wages to the guards who participated in the construction of the ice cellar.

The guards were very happy when they received the money: "Master Chen, if you have any work in the future, remember to find us again!"

"That's right, Master Chen, do you have any other work to do, just tell me, it doesn't matter if you pay less, as long as you can send us more delicious food!"

"It's easy to say, easy to say."

Chen Nianguan smiled.

Alas, these guards are so dedicated during the New Year's Eve, it's only right to send some delicious food.

It's just that people are hired by Shi Cunqi, how the employment contract is signed depends on how the shopkeeper Shi Da does it!

Then Chen Nianguan exchanged greetings with the guards and returned to the ice shop. The two beasts had already left behind a few coolies who performed well through observation during the construction period and were able to work hard.

There is an ice cellar, but there is no ice. Coincidentally, the time has entered the nine dog days, and it is time to start cutting ice and storing ice.

Long before the construction of the ice cellar started, Chen Nianguan had inquired that no matter whether it was the moat or the thick ice formed in other waters, not everyone could use it arbitrarily, but was allocated by the government.

The best ice in the upper reaches is dedicated to the royal ice cellar, and the next best ice will be used by the lords of the Marquis who have ice cellars in their houses, and then the official ice of the various government agencies in Capital City, and the next, theIt is ice that ordinary people can take.

And the ice that these common people can use has to be subdivided, because the common people are also divided into big country gentry and flat-headed white clothes. It’s just that ordinary people don’t get ice at this time. After all, in Capital City, there are not many people with ice cellars at home.Storage of ice is difficult.

Even the households that store ice cubes fill up the ice cellar, and in the next summer, there will be only one-third of the ice left.

Obtaining a permit allows ordinary people to collect less ice.

If you dislike the quality of ice cubes, ice pickers can also go to some waters outside Beijing to get ice, but it will take a lot of time and manpower.

Wearing a thick down jacket, Chen Nianguan led the two beasts to the lower reaches of the water where civilians harvest ice, and found that there were ice pickers with ice picks and saws working near and far.

There was a continuous sound of tinkling and clanging on the ice rink, as well as the shouting and shouting of heavy ice cubes being lifted up, making it very lively.

Chen Nianguan walked to the place where they were allowed to harvest ice and looked at the ice under their feet. Inside the ice that had solidified into a hard block, there were unidentified objects visible to the naked eye, rotten vegetable leaves, ropes, and some floating cotton flocs, etc.,They are all debris that drifted down from the upstream before the water surface solidified.

It's absolutely inferior ice!

If you want to get good ice, you have to find a clean ice surface inch by inch in the downstream area, and then dig out the upper layer to pick the ice you want.

Seeing such dirty ice, Chen Nianguan completely lost the desire to pick ice.

Such poor ice, who will buy it then?

Even if it is used to cool down, when it melts in the ice basin, all the messy things in the ice body will come out, that scene, tsk tsk...

Even if you keep it for yourself, you still think the ice is not beautiful, and it is almost worthless to mine.

"Master Chen, why don't we just don't want the ice here." The two beasts have seen sparkling, clean ice in cold ice shops, and they don't even care about the poor-quality ice under their feet., shall we still use fairy powder to make ice?"

Chen Nianguan took a look at the two beasts and felt bitter.

Tsk, she also wants to use fairy powder to make ice. The problem is, what she has on hand now is the ten catties of fairy powder that she brought on the way to Beijing to preserve the quality of the sauce. Just ten catties of fairy powder can't make the ice that the icehouse needs in large quantities.what!

In the capital city, at the foot of the emperor, one has to be very careful in buying and selling saltpeter. Even if she wanted to take the risk and want to buy it, she couldn't find a rich merchant Li who could sell her saltpeter!

And it still needs ice!

"Well, Master Chen, there is a big lake in our village, and the lake is also covered with thick ice. Do you think the ice here is not good, or go to our village to collect ice?"A village road in a village outside Capital City.

"Or, let's go upstream after those officials have harvested enough ice?" Someone also suggested that.

"When are they going to harvest enough ice?" Chen Nianguan asked.

"That's right, we watch these officials fetching ice every year. There is so much ice, no matter how big their cellar is, they can't get all the ice!" said the person from Capital City who made the suggestion, called Ang Tung Kor.

Chen Nianguan thought about it, and decided to adopt Ang Tung Kor's suggestion.

That's right, there are so many ice cubes, and the ice cellars and official kilns of the rich and powerful are not as large as the ones she built for business, and no matter how much they can be collected, they are limited.Come back in a few days.

Even after nine dog days, the ice will not melt for a while, and when these people have finished collecting, it should be the turn of ordinary people like them, right?

But just to be on the safe side, Chen Nianguan still asked the person who said there was lake ice in the village, only to find out that this person was actually from Baihua Village.

She is familiar with Baihua Village, isn't it not far from ????? Ping'er Village?

She has never been to Baihua Village. Is there a lake in Baihua Village?

Thinking of the rich water source in Ping'er Village, believed it immediately, so the group immediately turned around and drove the two donkey carts to Baihua Village without stopping.

The reason why Baihua Village is called Baihua Village is because there is a row of birch trees at the entrance of the village, and the big lake not far from the birch trees is also called Baihua Lake.

Baihua Village lives around this Baihua Lake.

The ice and snow on the outskirts of the city have not yet melted, and the distant mountains and forests are covered with snow, but the Birch Lake presented in front of their eyes is covered with thick ice, and there is still a lot of white snow beside the lake, but the ice in the middle is likeTouch a bright mirror, the ice lake is as hard as a rock, clean and crystal clear, and it looks like the best ice.

Chen Nian'an and the two beasts are happy, isn't this exactly the ice they want?

Hearing that a stranger wanted to dig ice in his village, the villagers of Baihua Village who got the news rushed over and surrounded Chen Nianguan and others, saying that the lake belonged to Baihua Village and Chen Nianguan was not allowed toNian Guan and others exploited it.

"Bai Dashi, why don't you bring this outsider to our village to collect ice? This ice is all from our village, and we are not allowed to collect it."

"Bai Xiaolu's family, anyway, no one in our village wants these ices, so we just leave them here, and don't we have to watch them melt when spring comes?" Bai Dashi said with a smile, "Then get some for our Master Chen,It's nothing, right?"

"What's the matter?" The people in Baihua Village were agitated, "She took ice, and our lake will run out of water in spring, so our village will run out of water?"

"What's missing? We haven't seen water shortage in our village every year?" Bai Dashi was stunned.

"That's right, the snow melts in spring, and when the spring floods come, the stream connected to the lake can't be poured into the lake, so why is there a shortage of water?" Angkor also said, "We saw that the moat in Capital City was being iced out every year., There was no shortage of water in the beginning of spring."

"When we say there is a shortage of water, there will be a shortage of water."

"You foreigners, you are not allowed to harvest ice."

The villagers of Baihua Village quarreled with Chen Nianguan and his party.

When a group of people were quarreling, Bai Lichang came out, Chen Nianguan hurriedly stopped the people on his side from arguing, and then greeted Bai Lichang: "Bai Lichang, I don't know if the village head of Ping'er Village has mentioned to youI, I am Master Chen who bought the land at the other end of Pinger Village."

Bai Lichang was taken aback for a moment, looked at the lady in the gentleman's uniform for a while, but didn't react.

"Also, my cousin and cousin should have also bought hundreds of acres of land in Ping'er Village. The surname is Liu, remember?"

"Ah, Master Chen, are you, the Master Chen who hired someone to raise chickens and ducks in Ping'er Village with Shi Erye?" Bai Lichang looked at Chen Nianguan who looked like a gentleman, then he was in a daze, and he was half-believing.

"That's right, Li Chang, she is the boss I work for in Capital City, Master Chen." Bai Dashi hurried out to introduce.

It's true that Bai Dashi is a native of Baihua Village, but his sister married into Capital City and lives in the outer city.

Bai Dashi went to Capital City to ask for work during his slack, and stayed at his sister's house. He happened to meet Chen's restaurant who wanted to transport coolies, and was hired after the trial work.

Because of his diligence, he was chosen by the two beasts to be an ice picker. Seeing that Master Chen didn't like the ice at the ice rink, he thought of the Baihua Lake in his own village, so he suggested that Master Chen come to Baihua Village to pick up ice.

Doing work for Master Chen, the price is fair, and I have been appreciated by Master Chen's people, so I am grateful for one more job, anyway, no one wants the ice from the lake in Baihua Village, so it is okay to pick it for Master ChenIt's nothing, who knows that the villagers won't allow it?

When Bai Dashi first saw this posture, he was also dumbfounded.

Chen Nianguan also smiled at Bai Lichang.

Before coming, Bai Lichang heard that it was because of the conflict caused by fetching ice, and now he heard that it was Master Chen who bought land in Ping'er Village and built chicken coops and duck sheds, and he suddenly had an idea in his mind.

This Master Chen has invested a lot of money in Ping'er Village, and now she rarely comes to Baihua Village to fetch ice, no matter what, she has to earn a fortune from her.

"Master Chen, the people of our Baihua Village are right. This Baihua Lake belongs to our Baihua Village. If people in Baihua Village want to collect ice, we have no objection, but you, a foreigner, belong to our Baihua Village.stuff, it’s just unreasonable.”

How could Chen Nianguan not understand what Bai Lichang meant?

It's nothing more than wanting money to buy mining rights!Think back to when you were in Prefecture City, didn’t you spend four hundred taels of silver to buy ice seeds?

If you can get ice in Baihua Village now, why don't you pay some money?

"Then, Lichang Bai, tell me, what should I do if I really want to get ice from Baihua Lake?"

The villagers behind Bai Lichang fell silent. Bai Lichang glanced at Chen Nianguan and smiled, "Well, I have to ask the villagers first?"

Chen Nianguan expressed his understanding, watched Bai Lichang take the group of villagers who blocked them aside, muttered for a while, and then walked back to him: "Master Chen wants to get ice, you have to give it to us first."People in Baihua Village paid fifty taels of silver."

"Did I give fifty taels of silver, and let me take the ice in this lake?" Although Chen Nianguan thought that he would be blackmailed, he didn't expect that the blackmailed money was only half a hundred and half, so he agreed immediately.

"certainly."

"Okay, I'll pay the fifty taels."

What is fifty taels?If you can get ice, you can earn it back in minutes.

Hey, from the perspective of these Baihua villagers, they still underestimated the value of ice, so simple.

At the beginning, Chen Nianguan, who made his fortune completely by buying ice and made a lot of money and became a million-dollar rich woman, felt tsk tsk in his heart!

But this is a great thing for Master Chen!

"However, there is no proof for what you say. Can Li Chang give me a written proof?"

Bai Lichang then found someone in the village who had a pen and ink, and wrote a note for Chen Nianguan on the spot. Chen Nianguan took the note and gave Bai Lichang a note of fifty taels.

Bai Lichang touched the fifty taels of silver, and smiled from ear to ear: "Master Chen is really as cheerful as the rumors say."

"I've always been very open about things that can be mutually beneficial." Chen Nianwan was praised, squinted his eyes and smiled slightly, looked back at the guy he brought, and at the villagers of Baihua Village, "I have another thing that is mutually beneficial.Do you want to discuss with Chief Bai about the matter?"

"Master Chen please speak, Master Chen please speak."

"We got the ice from here, and we have to transport it back to Capital City. But we don't have enough manpower, and the time is tight, so I plan to hire the ice diggers for me directly from Baihua Village. Can you recommend some people?Strong boy?"

Li Chang Bai was stunned for a moment, and the villager Bai Hua, who was looking at the fifty-two silver notes in his hands, was also stunned.

They just discussed how much money to charge to fetch the ice to be reasonable. After all, they all know that this ice is probably brought back to Capital City by this Master Chen to stock up for the restaurant. They also know how expensive ice is in summer.one two.

But the ice left here for nothing will eventually disappear, and then it will be nothing but water, not very valuable.

In the end, fifty taels were negotiated, one and a half taels for one hundred households in Baihua Village.

Every family is happy to get half taels of silver for nothing. Now heard this Master Chen say that they are going to hire them to dig ice and dig ice, and they are all dumbfounded. This Master Chen only spent money, and then he has to pay wages to hire themWhat do the people in Baihua Village do?

Before Bai Lichang could speak, a strong man among the villagers shouted to break through the crowd and come to the front: "I, I, I, I am so strong."

"Me too. Not only am I strong, but I also have a pick and saw at home. Master Chen, please hire me!"

"Me too, my strength is the strongest in the entire Baihua Village."

...

Chen Nianguan gave the two beasts a look, Liu Xiong and Liu Shi understood, stepped forward, and yelled at the villagers who said they were strong, registered their names, and agreed to one hundred and twenty Wen.At the end of the day, they will divide the labor and cooperate, and work lively and lively in the Baihua Lake.

Chen Nianwan, Xiaoyou, Siya and others went to Bai Lichang's house to gossip.

On this day, two donkey carts full of ice brought 500 pieces of ice back to Suchuan Road.

Because of the cold weather, although it took more than an hour and a half to return to the city from Baihua Village, the ice cubes hardly melted.

After all the ice cubes were moved into the ice cellar, Chen Nianguan handed over the matter to the two beasts. She had to discuss the opening of the restaurant with Cang Monan and Shi Cunqi.

"However, you have to think carefully whether you want to take on this burden."

This ice cellar business has started, but it will continue year after year. If the two beasts agree, that is to say, they will not return to the ice shop in Prefecture City in the future, and they will have to stay in the ice shop for a long time.Capital City is up.

When Liu Xiong and Liu Shi heard this, they were stunned, staying in Capital City?

"Yes, the two of you have to manage this ice shop for me. I buy ice from May to August every year, and store ice at this time in winter. If you have no work, you go to the Chen Family Restaurant to help run errands or guard things." Chen Nianguan said.It's planned for them.

The two beasts listened, their expressions changed from dull to gradually joyful.

"Whether you work in the ice shop or the restaurant, I will give you a monthly salary of five taels, with bonuses every month, and the amount depends on the monthly profit!" Chen Nianguan said, "Would you like to?"

"Then we still live on Xianggui Street?"

"Still living here?"

The two beasts know that there are two rooms in the east wing and three rooms in the main wing in the backyard of Bingpu where people can live.

Chen Nianguan hesitated for a moment.

After originally rebuilding the commercial building of the ice shop, she thought about it. One of the front rooms behind the restaurant was not converted into a staff room, but also used as a warehouse. When it was officially opened, it was considered that men and women were different.The guys live in the backyard of the restaurant, and the ice shop here is rebuilt for the female guys who need it.

But it's not safe to live behind the ice shop with all the girls.

And at least the management should give some preferential treatment.

Chen Nianguan finally decided that the general aspects will remain unchanged, but in view of the management attributes of the two beasts, there are two east rooms in the backyard of Bingpu??????A main room was used as the main room for them.

The two beasts were overjoyed.

In the blink of an eye, they have their own place in Capital City, don't be so good!

You can also consider finding a wife and having a baby. After living in Capital City for a long time, you will be a Capital City person!

Work harder from now on.

Even after leaving Chen Nianguan, he also took a group of coolies, digging ice from Capital City to Baihua Village diligently every day. The ice in Baihua Lake was almost harvested.I found a natural lake in the mountain and filled the huge ice cellar with beautiful ice cubes.

On the day when the ice harvesting work was over, Bai Dashi and Angkor Angkor were impressed by their ability to work, and the two beasts recommended them to work in the ice shop.

Chen Nianguan naturally accepted the personal introduction of the future ice store manager.

At this time, there are only three days left before the Shangyuan Festival.

The third floor of the commercial building has already been rebuilt, and the dome is very beautiful.

Naturally, a few custom-made tables and chairs were added to the big wing room, where you can usually eat here. As for the podium space separated by curtains on one side, you can watch operas and listen to operas when you invite the troupe.When holding private parties and receptions, it is reserved for holding activities.

On this day, Chen Nianguan invited everyone from Xianggui Street to the restaurant for breakfast, and the six cooks followed the arrangement early and moved to live in the backyard of the restaurant and the backyard of the commercial building next door.It's a big kitchen, and can't help feeling excited.

Shi Cunqi and Cang Monan were very surprised when they first heard about Chen Nianguan’s plan because the guest floor of Chen’s Restaurant was expanded.Both the private box and the large wing room said that this idea is good.

However, as the capacity increases, the number of employees will naturally also increase.

With the lessons learned from the six sons intending to burn down buildings, Shi Cunqi was extra strict when recruiting manpower again. Now the male buddies recruited are all Capital City people who Shi Cunqi has confirmed to be credible, and they don’t need to provide accommodation.There are similar things happening.

As for the female running hall, it was Shi Cunqi's wife, Fang Shi, who helped recruit them. Of the ten ladies, except for two who were stewards brought by Fang's natal family, the other eight were bought slaves.

It is said that after hearing about the six sons, Shi Cunqi discussed with Fang and decided that it would be better for the waitress to serve the female guests, or to buy some old slaves from wealthy families.

Firstly, maidservants who worked in rich families have learned the rules, and they are more decent and polite when entertaining female guests than girls from ordinary families who are temporarily trained..

Chen Nianguan expressed his gratitude for Fang's approach.

For the rehearsal before the official opening today, everyone will choose to eat in the restaurant. Naturally, it is to let the waiters know how to greet the guests, and let Liu Yun and the cooks familiarize themselves with the management of the back kitchen when the restaurant is in operation., and let the partners first take a look at the unique operation of the Chen Family Restaurant.

Among them, apart from the people from Xianggui Street brought by Chen Nianguan, there are also Cang Monan, Master Cang, Shi Cunqi and Fang Shi, and others. As for another partner, Xiao Seventh Master, she also letLiu Feng went to the Grand Buddhist Temple to invite Master Ming Hai, but Xiao Seventh Master failed to invite Master Ming Hai instead. The master heard that the Chen Family Restaurant had to start a trial operation before it opened.Before the Shangyuan Festival, sneak into the city to feast on the food!

Seeing the sudden appearance of Master Ming Hai, the members of the Cang family and the Shi family were all startled. Then they found out about the relationship between Chen Nianguan and Master Ming Hai. They couldn't help showing intriguing eyes and expressions.Take a seat.

Chen Nianguan had a seat with Master Ming Hai, Liu Feng and others, and Cang Monan and Master Cang also joined in the fun and wanted to have a seat with Master Ming Hai, so they joined in, so everyone on Xianggui Street divided two seats, and Shi CunqiFang Shi chose to sit in one of the private rooms.

Seeing everyone sat down, the tea doctor who had practiced a few times earlier brought tea immediately, because they were all excited because they were looking forward to the food that was about to be served.

Soon, two wooden carts were pushed in from the door leading to the back kitchen. The wooden carts were divided into three layers, each layer was filled with different pastries, and the lowest layer was placed with boiled rice porridge and side dishes.The middle layer is fried pastries, and the top layer is small steamers built high and low.

The one pushing the wooden cart to Chen Nianguan's side was Wang Wu, and the other wooden cart was pushed to the other side of the private room.

People who saw this kind of food served for the first time thought it was new, but those who had already eaten these pastries on Xianggui Street ordered skillfully: "Do you have honey sauce pork buns? Give me a cage of honey sauce barbecue pork buns!"

"I want to eat a bowl of fish porridge first, please bring me a bowl."

"The three-shredded fried spring rolls I ate last time are delicious, do you have them? If not, give me a basket of beef balls with tangerine peel!"

...

Some people who couldn't wait even left their seats, walked to the wooden cart by themselves, and took a few cages to the desk by themselves.

Cang Monan and Master Cang, who were at the same table with Chen Nianguan, were stunned.

Master Ming Hai reacted quickly, got up by himself, asked Wang Wu what he had, and after seeing the food on the wooden cart, he took a few baskets and put them on the desk in front of his seat.

Shi Cunqi and Fang Shi in the private seat, with the help of the waiter, also took the food they were interested in, and they were already eating.

Cang Monan and Master Cang came to their senses, and asked the people around them what kind of snacks and what flavors were in the steamer, and quickly asked Wang Wu for a basket of siu mai, a basket of steamed powdered fruit, and a basket of Baiyun chicken feet,A fried taro crisp, and a bowl of porridge for one person.

After all the diners were seated, Wang Wu counted the pastries and congee on the table, and took out from the bamboo tube hanging beside the wooden cart, the lengths were uneven but smooth, and theThe bamboo chips engraved with the Chen's restaurant were put into the bamboo tube on the desk correspondingly, and then they pushed the cart to another table.

The two beasts at this table, Si Ya Xiao You and the others are all familiar with their journeys. Hearing what Wang Wu said about the snacks left, they quickly took what they liked. After Wang Wu got them the table one by one, he alsoAfter leaving the corresponding bamboo chip, he pushed the wooden cart to the side of the private seat to deliver meals to Shi Cunqi and his wife.

Then the other stroller strolled over to Chen Nianguan's table.

"Everyone, gentlemen, ladies, ladies, would you like another basket of dim sum?"

Master Cang and Cang Monan already understood how the restaurant served food at this time, imitating Si Ya and others next door, first asked the men's waiting room what they had.

"There are radish cake and red bean cake, there are pan-fried scallion pancakes and deep-fried fried fish cakes, there are steamed pork ribs with scallop sauce and secret money belly, there are fish sausages, sweet sausages..."

When Cang Monan and Master Cang heard it, it was different from the food delivered by the wooden cart before?

want to want.

So took a few more cages full.

After the car passed by, the father and son sat down to taste it with peace of mind. At the same time, they exchanged with the people sitting next to each other and ate the different pastries brought by each other.

After the first batch of two carts pushed into the back kitchen, the other two waiters pushed two wooden carts over.

It is also full of two wooden carts with completely different pastries.

Master Cang sighed in admiration: "Master Chen, I'm afraid there are no less than 50 kinds of pastries here?"

"It's more than that? Our Chen's restaurant has just opened now, and we don't have many pastries, only about a hundred kinds. Due to seasonal restrictions, there are still many ingredients that can't be found at this time. Waiting for spring, summer and autumn.There will be more dim sum to eat!"

For example, the shrimp dumplings and glutinous rice chicken can only be put on hold temporarily because they can't find the ingredients!

Master Ming Hai couldn't stop eating at first, but when he heard this, he stopped immediately, looked at Chen Nianguan and nodded.

Not bad, it's a wise move to support Mrs. Chen in opening a restaurant in Capital City!

Chen Nianguan also smiled at the master.

The diners who were eating dim sum couldn't help but look up and looked at her with admiration in their eyes.

There are about a hundred kinds of dim sum alone?Great job, Master Chen!

No!

Chen Nianguan once again straightened his spine quietly and straightly under the adoring eyes of everyone.

Her Master Chen is amazing!

After a morning tea, everyone watched as the wooden cart that cleared away the bowls and steamers slowly pushed away, and the receptionist in charge of collecting the bill picked up the bamboo tube on the desk and sent it to the counter area for payment.

It was the first time that Cang Monan and Master Cang had such a new method of checkout, and immediately followed, watching Fang Wulang and his assistant skillfully count the number of bamboo chips of the same length and the corresponding price, and then calculatedThe price of a morning tea: twenty-five taels of silver.

Tut tut!

"Grandfather, it turns out that we had such an expensive breakfast without knowing it!" Cang Monan exclaimed.

There are so many dim sums for breakfast alone, and looking at the carts of all kinds of breakfasts, all of which taste good, and there are many that have never seen before, so want to try this and that, but don’t knowDid you eat so much during the night?

"But, it's worth the money!" Master Cang said, and glanced upstairs, "Is the upstairs a private room?"

"On the right, the box, the original private room in Spring Breeze, the whole thing hasn't been changed much."

Master Cang smiled schemingly: "My dear grandson, in the future, if we are looking for someone to discuss business, we will come to this Chen's restaurant. The snacks are delicious, and it is enough to show off."

Not really.

Eat once a day, eat 20 dim sum dishes at a time, and it will take five days to eat all the more than 100 dim sum dishes in Chen's Restaurant, not to mention the new pastries that are launched in season.

"This Master Chen, I underestimated her too much back then."

Master Cang looked at Chen Nianwan, who was drinking tea with Master Ming Hai, talking and laughing, and sighed, seeing that Fang Wulang calculated the cost of the two tables and the private seats?????, a total of sixty-five taels, He took out a few banknotes and handed them to Fang Wulang.

"Master Cang? This meal was invited by Master Chen, so there is no need to pay." Fang Wulang was surprised.

"Hey, why are you being polite? I can also be regarded as the grandfather of one of the owners of this Chen family restaurant. This meal, I invite you." Master Cang smiled.

It's rare to be able to sit at the same table with Master Ming Hai, this honor, when it is said in the future, he will have face!

"Brother Nan, on the day the restaurant opened, I booked three wing rooms for me. The big guys from our Cang family in Capital City all came here for morning tea." Master Cang laughed, "I'll call a few more old ones.All acquaintances, come to taste the food from the chef of the Chen family restaurant."

It doesn't make sense that the food in the restaurant owned by good grandson is so delicious, and it's cheaper for others if don't come to help.

"Master Cang, our restaurant's lunch and dinner also have dishes that are rarely seen in the capital, otherwise, on the day of Shangyuan Festival, you might as well have lunch and dinner in the restaurant?" Chen Nianwan looked at CangThe grandparents of Mo Nan hadn't returned to the table for so long, so they walked over and asked with a smile after hearing Master Cang's words.

"Since Mrs. Chen said so, wouldn't someone in Cang miss the delicious food if he doesn't eat it?" Master Cang nodded, "Order, all of them."

"Then I thank Master Cang for your help first!"

Chen Nianguan laughed.

In fact, when ordered Qimu to give the New Year's gift a few years ago, some diners met on the passenger ship gave it to a few diners who visited Xianggui Street after the Chinese New Year.I ordered three dine-in meals and two private rooms.

It is conceivable that there should be no worries about no diners at that time.

But how to attract the boys and girls on the main street in front of the Lantern Festival at night still needs to be discussed with Cang Monan.

"The lanterns I asked you to prepare are all ready?"

"Don't worry, Mrs. Chen, I have found someone to make about a thousand small lanterns according to your instructions, should it be enough?"

"After it's installed, will the light be able to spread from the other side of the main street to our Chen's restaurant?"

Chen Nianguan naturally knew that the tourists who went out on the night of the Lantern Festival all went for the fireworks and lanterns in front of the palace.

It is said that on the night of the Lantern Festival, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty will preside over the fireworks show. At that time, the people in the city will see the gorgeous fireworks. The second is to show the identity and status of each family.reward.

The target of Chen's Restaurant is not only the diners who go to watch the lanterns and fireworks after dinner, but also the gentlemen and ladies of various families who happen to have an appetite on the way home after watching the fireworks and lanterns.

This naturally requires a little finesse to attract diners.

And Chen Nianguan chose to use thousands of small lanterns, and decorated it as a lantern gate at the intersection of Suchuan Road, hanging lanterns all the way to let them light up to the front of Chen’s restaurant, and then hung hundreds of lanterns in front of the Chen’s restaurant.Let Chen's Restaurant become the brightest and brightest kid on the whole street on that day.

It is exciting to think about the scene of lanterns lighting up the road.

What is more exciting is naturally the cost.

In order to make the thousand lotus bamboo lanterns that only illuminate the simplest shape, she spent more than three hundred taels on making the lantern gate at the intersection of Suchuan Road, not to mention the lion dance and firecrackers that day., and so on, the total cost added up to five hundred taels.

This didn't even count the free food for the red ticket Sazan and the expenses of vegetarian offerings.

If this fails to attract diners and make Chen's restaurant famous, she will definitely vomit blood.
