Chen Nianguan and his group hurried on their way, and when they returned to Suchuan Road, the lanterns outside the restaurant had already been lit up, illuminating the entrance of the restaurant very brightly.

Asking the guards to drive the car around to the corner door in the backyard, Chen Nianguan and Liu He walked in directly from the main entrance of the restaurant.

The lights inside are bright, no matter the private room or the hall??????, are full of diners, Wang Wu and others are pushing the cart, skillfully walking from one desk to another desk, from time to timeThe chips thrown into the bamboo tube made a rattling sound, and the tea doctor in the tea making area kept making hot tea.Hurry up and run over with the teapot.

Noise, smoke and fire.

It has been a long time since Chen Nianguan saw such a bustling scene of carts delivering food in restaurants.

In the last life, although many people still used to go to teahouses and restaurants to have Dim Sum morning tea every weekend and Sunday, many teahouses and restaurants canceled the cart delivery. When the cart service was quietly introduced into people’s lives,Instead, electronic orders are placed.

In order to enjoy the traditional "two pieces in one cup", everyone sighs for morning tea, so you have to investigate in advance to see which teahouse restaurant still maintains the cart delivery service.

But now, the special cart service reappeared in front of her eyes, making Chen Nianwan straighten her chest with a smile.

"Master Chen!"

Shi Cunqi, who was in charge of the shopkeeper's area, quickly walked up to Chen Nianguan: "Have you finished offering all the vegetarian dishes?"

Chen Nianguan nodded: "How is the business?"

"Isn't it right in front of your eyes?" Shi Cunqi smiled, "There are no empty seats. After the first group of people who drink morning tea come, once you tell the people outside, more people come to try it out.Also, starting in the afternoon, there will be diners who have eaten the vegetarian food offered by you, Master Chen, at the Grand Buddhist Temple, and come here admiringly."

"That's good, that's good!" Chen Nianguan heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.

"Not only that, many people have already reserved wing rooms and private seats in our store, and even the seats for dine-in have asked us to reserve a seat." Shi Cunqi was excited, "It can be waited for half a month..”

"What about the newly opened rooms next door and the large room on the third floor?"

"It's all full today." Shi Cunqi laughed, "They all planned to go to watch the lanterns and watch the fireworks after dinner in our Chen's restaurant. The third floor is now full of old ladies and gentlemen, sayingIt’s because there are so many people, don’t go crowded, you can see the fireworks even by opening the window panes on the third floor. After knowing this, many people plan to go back to find their grandpa and grandma, drink tea and snacks,Enjoy the fireworks!"

"This is a good thing!"

But no, in the last life, if you want to say that the richest and most leisurely, those who can come to sigh for a cup or two every day are all retired elderly people. Now there are so many nobles and old ladies from aristocratic families in Capital City, who also have money and leisure.It is a large group of diners that should not be underestimated. We must entertain them well, so that they will become repeat customers in the future, and bring more old ladies and gentlemen over by the way.

Besides, most of the dim sum in our Chen’s restaurant is freshly cooked and steamed, and there are also various seafood sauces that cannot be found in inland cities. They are definitely healthy food!

When Chen Nianguan said this to Shi Cunqi, the shopkeeper Shi Da immediately expressed his understanding.

"Don't worry, I understand what Master Chen means."

Chen Nianguan nodded in satisfaction, he is indeed a talent who has been the second owner of Yuemanlou!

Since other restaurants are aiming at the main force of the lords in the consumer market, it is enough for their Chen Family Restaurant to capture the ladies, girls and masters that they did not notice!

Even if the gentlemen can make money again, can they be as rich as the old ladies in the family?

Even if the lords have money and silver, don't they save it for the wives and girls in the end?

uh-huh!

When it comes to abacus, our Master Chen is also very loud.

After listening to Shi Cunqi for a while about today's opening, and visiting the two groups of cashiers in the shopkeeper area, Chen Nianguan planned to go back to the backyard to see her precious cooks.

In the back kitchen, Liu Yun, whose status is equivalent to the head chef, naturally cooks his specialty dishes while coordinating the three groups of people.

Tian Daxiao and his wife's job is to make buns, and the big and small different types of buns, steamed buns, hair cakes, etc. are naturally in charge of their group. In addition, Tian Daxiao is also good at cooking hot dishes, so guests have lunch and dinner.At that time, he became the sous chef.

Sister-in-law Bai and Erya are mainly in charge of marinating meat with sauce, such as orange peel beef balls, Baiyun chicken feet, secret money belly and so on.

Then there are two cooks, one is responsible for cooking porridge and rice noodles, and the other is responsible for frying pastries and dim sum.

Everyone divides the work and cooperates. After lunch and dinner, they put down their respective snacks and cooperate with Liu Yun to provide various dishes. In short, everyone has their own specialties. Teamwork can naturally learn from each other.

In addition to the six cooks, four helpers were hired.

Naturally, these four kitchen assistants were also bought by Chen Nianguan and placed in the backyard of the restaurant. The two women were in charge of washing the dishes in the hot water room, cleaning the back kitchen, etc., and the other two men were helping to choose and wash vegetables, and cooking.A chore ordered by the cooks.

Staffing will be sufficient for now.

Chen Nianguan plans to see if the restaurant can handle it with the current manpower after the restaurant opens.

Chen Nianguan looked at the orderly and busy team of chefs in the back kitchen, and happily went to the accounting room to rest without disturbing them.

After resting for a while, to fill her stomach, she and Liu He have to go to the intersection of Suchuan to set up a stall!

Chen Nianguan stretched himself, listening to the noise of people outside, he couldn't help but feel so good!

The restaurant she said was going to open just like that!

It's almost unbelievable!

Master Chen thought for a while, then burst out laughing again.

Isn't it the restaurant that I have been dreaming of opening?Now that she is driving it, it doesn't mean that she is a great Master Chen!

So immediately cheered up.

Uh-huh, she, Master Chen, really opened a big restaurant in Capital City!

Then earning a lot of money, buying a luxury house is not close at hand?

The day when she brought A Niang and Xuan Xuan to live in Capital City is much closer!

Be sure to buy a luxurious house in the inner city, and let my mother come to Capital City to enjoy the happiness!

Thinking of this, Master Chen became full of energy again.

Soon, it was completely dark.

Unlike the usual curfew, the streets of the inner city are still as noisy as daytime, especially the main roads leading to the palace, where there are many ice sculpture lanterns made by various households, with different shapes and styles, especially the closer to the square in front of the palace, the more complicated and gorgeous the lanterns will be.

It is said that at the annual Lantern Festival, the emperor and queen will choose the leader of the lantern, and they will be rewarded with fifty gold.

Fifty gold is naturally not much for the nobles and marquises in Capital City, but it is a symbol of nobility to win this honor from the emperor and queen. Therefore, all the Capital City families have worked hard, and the Eight Immortals crossed the sea.Each shows his talents.

And the people in Capital City also got their eyes on it, and there was a lot of excitement. It can be regarded as a perfect and perfect year.

Of course, these excitement has nothing to do with the leader of the migrant workers, Master Chen.

The restaurant chose to open today, naturally because it is the most popular of the year.

Not only people from the inner city, but also people from the outer city poured in like water. This is the best time to expand the reputation of the restaurant and promote word of mouth!

At the end of Suchuan Road, lotus lanterns were raised at the front and back, and hundreds of palace lanterns were specially hung on the cornices of the top floors of the commercial buildings, making Chenjia Restaurant the most recognizable even in the dark.

If there are people who are lost or do not know where to go, they will naturally go to the brightest place.

As for the entire street of Suchuan Road, every five steps, about ten lanterns are erected with bamboo poles, spreading all the way to the intersection of Suchuan Road, there is a bamboo arch full of lanterns, and the stall in front of the arch is Master Chen.Selling coconut milk and sugar is no longer a problem. While attracting diners, will introduce Chenjia Restaurant at the end of Suchuan Road to curious diners.

Cars are not allowed in the Lantern Viewing Area, you have to walk.

But Suchuan Road is just outside the viewing area, so when the fireworks are over, or those who have finished viewing the lanterns, they can take a carriage directly from the brightly lit Suchuan intersection to the end of Suchuan Road.

Suchuan Road is also the only way for people in the Eastern District to leave the inner city. In the dark streets everywhere, people will naturally choose to pass through the brightly lit Suchuan Road. It is safe!

Of course, if things go wrong, shopkeeper Shi also hired more than 20 men from the Escort Bureau along the entire Suchuan Road, to ensure that the candle wicks in the lanterns are replaced with new ones before they go out, and to ensure that people passing through Suchuan RoadThe personal safety of the people, whether they are diners or not.

After all, on such nights, if you are a little negligent, you will be taken advantage of by thieves and robbers.

There are three more, let them carry the lanterns with the Chen's Restaurant printed on them, and illuminate passers-by. If passers-by need it, they will give them one or two lanterns with the signboard of Chen's Restaurant for free.

Well, of course it was also Master Chen's idea!

It's a good time to give Chen's restaurant a good impression and accumulate word-of-mouth, don't let it go!

It has to be said that this move by Master Chen and Shopkeeper Shi won unanimous praise from the people who passed by Suchuan Road that night, and gained the favor of a group of diners.Fans.

Besides, as soon as Master Chen opened the stall, after hearing the news, some boys and girls came to touch it generously or sneakily.

Chen Nianguan looked at them, expressing his understanding.

She has trained her sharp eyes early on at the vegetarian offerings at the Grand Buddhist Temple. Those who are embarrassing and those who have passed the Ming Road are treated differently.If you don't want to buy candy for the lady you like, it will be a quick decision.

After selling for about an hour or so, fireworks began to bloom in the far horizon.

The people guarding the stalls, still not in time to watch the fireworks, decided not to be in a hurry, and stopped at the intersection of Suchuan, and the girls who planned to have something to eat and drink looked up one after another to watch the bright fireworks.

This????? is the first time Master Chen has seen the fireworks of this era, and he is very excited to see her.

It turns out that the fireworks in this world look like this, and they are no worse than those in the previous life!

In the coming year, the restaurant business should be on the right track, right?

At that time, she wanted to watch fireworks and lanterns with Zhang Erlang!

The fireworks went off for a full two minutes, and there was a wave of voices from the palace wishing the emperor and the queen a thousand years and a thousand years. Although it was not too loud when it came here, it was stillCan be heard faintly.

After another half an hour, after entertaining a wave of diners one after another, the flow of people after watching the fireworks and lanterns gradually increased.

In fact, the secondary thing tonight is to sell sugar and coconut milk to these gentlemen and ladies. The main thing is to continue to promote the Chen Family Restaurant, telling everyone that Suchuan Road is bright and safe, and attracting people to the end of the street.Doesn't the Chen family restaurant have traffic?

Often seeing the stalls of Chen's Restaurant, the bright bamboo arches, and the Suchuan Road inside the gates that seem to be lit all the way, everyone is inevitably curious and wants to find out.

And Master Chen assured that the Suchuan Road they walked tonight is definitely the safest road they walked on during the Lantern Festival. Under the temptation of Guangming Avenue and the instigation of Master Chen, an endless stream of diners stepped into the bambooThe door, and then went to Chen's restaurant for supper and a tooth-fighting festival.

This night, the newly opened Chen's restaurant was open until midnight before sending away the last wave of diners, and began to close for washing.

Although everyone was tired enough, they were also excited.

After today's opening, it seems that there have never been any customers, and there has never been a table vacant. What does this situation mean?

Explain that the food in Chenjia Restaurant is really popular in Capital City!

Not to mention, the family who had dinner at night also told shopkeeper Shi that they wanted to book a private room in advance, and they didn't know how much the deposit was?

Mrs. Chen, the big boss in charge of publicity, came back, and everyone looked at her with bright eyes.

Chen Nianguan was also excited.

But, today is only the first day, and everyone has to go to work tomorrow?

So hurry up and tell everyone what to do quickly, finish work immediately, wash up, wash up, go home, and have to start working tomorrow morning!

Only then did everyone nod their heads in agreement, and each went to his own business.

Chen Nianwan stood at the Dafo Temple for nearly a day, and at Suchuan Road for almost half the night. He couldn't take it anymore, so he left all the work in the shop to the capable shopkeeper Shi Da, and took Liu Yun with him.Back on Xianggui Street, after barely holding on to wash, fell asleep with the pillow on face.

When Chen Nianguan woke up the next day, he saw Zhang Erlang sitting beside the couch, looking at her with a worried expression.

"Wan Wan!"

"Yuro!"

After a good night's sleep, Chen Nianguan felt refreshed, and his vitality was full again, and he called his husband sweetly, then got up, and was surprised when he saw the sky bright outside: "What time is it?I still have to go to the restaurant!"

Zhang Erlang took her hand and pressed her down.

"Husband?" Chen Nianguan had to sit down.

"Liu Yun and his cousin have already gone to work in the restaurant." Zhang Erlang stretched out his hand, supported the lady's chin, stroked her face, his eyes were filled with distress.

Thinking back to last year, she and her cousins also went to Fucheng to sell jerky, and finally woke up at noon the next day after being so tired that she fell asleep.During the Lantern Festival when the lights were on and watching the fireworks, he worked so hard to get out of the booth, and his Wanwan was exhausted again.

"Then I have to watch it too!"

"Didn't you also watch in the restaurant yesterday, didn't they also successfully run the restaurant?" Zhang Erlang retorted, holding the lady's hand, pity, "Since you came to Capital City, you have been busy with this restaurant.How many days have you had a good rest?"

Chen Nianguan slightly bent his almond eyes, moved closer to Zhang Erlang, and asked, "Do you love me?"

"My heart hurts!" Zhang Erlang wrapped his hands around the woman's slender waist, and hugged her into his arms, "My heart hurts, Wan Wan always has endless work to do! No leisure at all!"

While renovating the restaurant, she was also selling down clothes and even buying new year's goods. don't know where she got so much energy from.

"But, I still earned a lot of money!" Chen Nianguan said with a smile, "Husband, my Chen's restaurant has been successfully opened, and I will be able to earn money every month in the future. Work harder now, and save money in the future."It's okay to worry about it!"

"So the restaurant has successfully opened, you can worry less, let yourself have a good rest today!"

"I've had enough rest!"

"not enough!"

"enough!"

"For my husband to say you are not enough!"

"Husband?"

"Good boy, be obedient!" Zhang Erlang caressed his lady's black hair, "Just take a day off and be your husband?"

"Don't you want to study hard for the Chunwei exam? You want me to study with you?"

"If Wan Wan doesn't like reading, then she can spend half a day of leisure with my wife as a husband!"

Chen Nianguan couldn't help smiling and nodded.

This is, you have to rest with yourself when you are distracted?

Well, since Yulang cares about him so much, it's not impossible to cooperate with him!

Immediately, Chen Nianguan stopped shouting and got up, and nodded obediently nestling in Zhang Erlang's arms: "That's what you do, I listen to my husband!"

The young couple slumped on the couch for a long time, and they didn't get up until noon to have lunch.

Chef Ding who is now cooking for everyone on Xianggui Street is also Chef Ding who used to work in Spring Breeze.

Speaking of the origin of Chef Ding, it must be said that as early as some time ago, the cooks all moved to Suchuan Road, and even the two beasts lived directly in the single room assigned to them.The opening of a new restaurant also requires manpower, so they rarely come here.

There are a lot of people missing at home, and after the work in the embroidery room has been reduced—the New Year’s Eve is over, Capital City is still very cold now, but the weather is about to get warmer, everyone is now looking for spring clothes, summer clothes, and down clothesNaturally, there are not many sales, so the embroiderers are free to work, but they still have to sew clothes for Chen Nianguan and others and the restaurant guys, so now they are making down clothes, and they are also striving for perfection. It takes a month and a half, slowly.Work meticulously to make some high-end goods with complicated patterns.

Because Du Juan and Ding Xiang had previous cooking experience and had learned how to cook from Liu Yun, after the cooks moved away, they were transferred to the kitchen by Manager Qimu to cook meals for everyone on Xianggui Street.

Liu Yun, Liu Feng and Liu He were going to help in the restaurant, and now Liu Qing was also helping in the restaurant, and even brought over the two guards Zeng Si who lived on Xianggui Street, and they ate and drank in the restaurant, there is no need to be their food.

The rest of the people, apart from Zhang Erlang and Chen Nianwan, that is, Manager Qimu, Daohe, Xiaoyou, Grandpa Duan, Siya, Tao Bo, two handymen and a groom.

By the way, there are also Mrs. Liu and her daughter-in-law who come to do the laundry. When there is a lot of work, they will have lunch on Xianggui Street before continuing to finish the work.

Although they came from a wealthy family, after all, they were just doing small things, and the cooking skills of the two were not very outstanding. Compared with the food cooked by Chen Nianwan and Liu Yun, the natural level was far worse. That Tao Bo and othersI didn't dare to complain, but Siya mentioned it, and she was very disgusted, thinking that the two of them didn't eat as well as the food they cooked by themselves, and even wanted to go to their own restaurant to order food and take it back to Xianggui Street to eat.

"Boss, it's all made by you and Miss Liu. The food is so delicious that we are not used to eating dishes made by ordinary people."

Chen Nianguan couldn't laugh or cry, is it her fault?

But Liu Yun and the cooks will no longer mainly cook for the people in Xianggui Street. After all, they have serious jobs to do - they are the most important employees of the Chen Family Restaurant.

And Chen Nianguan won't stay at home to cook. She has a lot of work to do as a big boss, and she can't stay in Xianggui Street every day to work.

So, Tao Bo stood up again: "Master Chen, the restaurant you are opening now is a place in the spring breeze, you know it?"

"That's right, does Tao bo have any suggestions?"

"Hey, it's like this. The servant saw that you recruited the apprentice chef from Spring Breeze to work. I don't know if the chef from Spring Breeze, Master Chen, is you interested?"

Of course I am interested.

Chen Nianguan immediately asked Tao Bo to introduce him.

Tao bo is in a dilemma.

"That cook, he's still in prison. Why don't you, Master Chen, go and have a look, and if it's suitable, buy him back?"

It turns out that after the incident of Marquis AnShun, not only hundreds of people from the top and bottom of the Hou Mansion suffered disasters, but all those who belonged to the Hou Mansion's slaves were imprisoned, and then convicted according to the degree of involvementAll the cooks in the kitchen in Spring Breeze were slaves of the Marquis AnShun family, so all the cooks were imprisoned.

The slaves and maids who had money at home had their own family members come to the government office to spend money and silver to redeem them. If no one came to redeem them, they would basically be sold by the government to the rich and powerful, or resold to dental firms.

The reason why Chen Nianguan was able to buy those two apprentices was because the government sold them.

As for this Chef Ding, he has a very hard temper. As soon as he was put in prison, he would argue with the officials in the prison. As a result, he was beaten to the point of bleeding.

Seeing how tough his life is, he is afraid that the offended official will be angry, so he has been locked in the cell all the time. Tao Bo just went to see him recently, and he is already on the verge of death.

The reason why Tao Bo knew this Chef Ding was because when he was young, Tao Bo and he were fellow villagers who went south to the capital to seek a living., the only way out is to sell himself cheaply.

As slaves, they can beg for a bite to eat and survive?????, they are content.

Before Chef Ding was sold into the Marquis of Anshun, the two met twice because of their fellowship.

When it was blooming well in the spring breeze, Tao Bo was quite proud of his fellow countryman.

It is said that there are ten famous chefs in Spring Breeze. After Marquis Anshun's accident, these chefs were all bought by respectable people in Capital City. If it wasn't for Chef Ding's stubborn temper that offended the official and was deliberately tortured, I'm afraid he will be with him now.new master.

So, Tao Bo meant that he wanted to go to the government office to find people?

Meeting Chen Nianguan's questioning gaze, Tao Bo evaded.

But no, he just thought, after all, it is a human life, and they are all from the same place. If Master Chen didn't work in a restaurant, or he also took over the land in Chunfengli, and bought two more from Chunfengli.As an apprentice, he wouldn't even think about it.

After a winter of cold and hunger, there is only one breath left, no matter how hard the backbone is, it is useless!

Life matters!

If Master Chen is willing to buy Chef Ding, one can save a life, and on the other hand, he can find another assistant with superb cooking skills for her, isn't it the best of both worlds?

So Tao Bo boldly introduced Chef Ding to Chen Nianguan.

It is naturally desirable to be able to add a right-hand assistant to his restaurant, not to mention that this person was once one of the cooks in such a high-end restaurant in Spring Breeze.

The question is, how much will it cost her to go to the government office to get people?

"I have inquired with the people in the government office. Now that Chef Ding is to be redeemed, those officials will release him according to his instructions. As for the money for the redemption, about fifty taels is probably enough."

Fifty taels to buy a cook?Compared with the laborers I bought before, it is too expensive.

But Chen Nianguan felt relieved when he thought that buying a high-level chef with fifty taels would cost his life.

"Tao Bo, are you sure, I bought him back, and Chef Ding is willing to work for me?"

"Yes, of course I am willing."

Tao Bo has worked for this Master Chen for so long, and now he is envious of those slaves bought from dental shops. After signing the contract for ten years, he can get the certificate of emancipation and the contract of prostitution, and become a good citizen.My family, it is difficult to wait until the day when regain freedom!

Didn't Chef Na Ding sell himself to the tooth shop in order to survive?

Even Marquis Anshun had an accident, he was imprisoned for so long, he was injured and lacked food and drink, and he lived for so long, isn't it just that he still wants to live?

If there is someone who is willing to help him out of the sea of suffering, what is it like to be a bull and a horse?

So Chen Nianguan took the silver and went to the prison in Jingzhao Mansion together with Tao Bo. When the official in the prison explained the reason, the official gave a cold sneer, took the five taels of silver from Chen Nianguan, and took it.Fifty taels of silver bills, and went to deal with Chef Ding's official contract for them.

After the red seal was stamped on the official deed, two prison wardens pulled a dark man out.

When Tao Bo saw Chef Ding's inhuman appearance, he burst into tears.

Chen Nianguan pulled the donkey cart over and asked the prison warden to put the man directly into the donkey cart. After returning to Xianggui Street, the man was handed over to Tao Bo to take care of him.

Let Qimu see what is lacking and add what.

This Chef Ding is really hard-working. After five or six days of good soup and good meat, the man came back to life. Thanks to Chen Nianguan for saving his life, he took the initiative to work in the kitchen when he was a little better.After he was alive, Du Juan and Ding Xiang beat him up, but they didn't show any signs of stubbornness. I don't know if they were restrained, or because they had been in prison for more than a year, which made people completely lose their arrogance.

The culinary skills that can make people in the Hou's mansion admire, the food they cook is naturally not bad.

Now thinking that he is not in good health, so will cook meals in Xianggui Street for the time being, and after recuperating, will still have to go to the back kitchen of the restaurant. If Liu Yun has an extra helper, the restaurant's back kitchen team will be more secureup.

"But if Chef Ding is put in the restaurant again, what shall we eat?"

Si Ya questioned her soul.

No, it's rare that a cook who is as good as the owner's skills comes to cook at home. If Chef Ding leaves again, and the owner doesn't cook, what will they eat?

For the first time, Chen Nianguan knew how difficult it is to raise Si Ya with her mouth in her mouth.

But no, the girl who only needed to eat enough in the beginning, now has a lot of delicious food, and it is difficult to lower her standards.

The so-called transition from frugality to extravagance is easy, but from extravagance to frugality is difficult!

"Then, go back and ask the chef in the restaurant, whoever is willing to transfer back to the restaurant, and transfer another one back!"

Si Ya thought for a while and nodded.

That's all there is to it.

Therefore, everyone cherishes the days when they can taste Chef Ding’s food at home. After all, if Chef Ding turns around and goes back to the restaurant, if he wants to eat the dishes made by Chef Ding, he has to go to the restaurant.Had a chance to taste it.

A group of people were having a lively meal, outside Tao Bo bit his chopsticks and shouted at the other side of the vertical flower gate: "Mr. Zhang, Master Chen, Manager Qimu! There is a guest here, and he said it is Mr. Xu's family!"

"Yo, Uncle Xu is here?" Si Ya was the first to put down the bowl and ran out quickly.
