Uncle Xu and the other three guards were short-term workers hired by Shi Cunqi to the Escort Bureau. The deadline was during the New Year's Eve. After the fifteenth day yesterday, they were considered to have completed their work.

Because spring is coming, they have to go back to the south, so before leaving, they came to Xianggui Street to visit Master Chen and Si Ya.

"Uncle Xu, you really don't consider working for our master? How nice it is to stay in the capital!" Si Ya was a little bit reluctant.

During Uncle Xu's stay in Capital City, she built an ice cellar with them, and she often met acquaintances when she went to restaurants. Now that Uncle Xu is leaving, she naturally feels sad.

Uncle Xu looked back and saw the reluctance on the faces of the two apprentices, he coughed dryly: "Even if you want to stay in Capital City, you have to go back to the Kamikaze Escort and tell the elder master and the second master."

Si Ya was immediately pleasantly surprised: "Uncle Xu, do you consider staying in Capital City to help our boss?"

The first disciple and the second disciple were also overjoyed when they heard the words: "Master, can we really stay in Capital City?"

"I don't know what Master Chen means?"

"If Master Xu is willing to work for me, of course I will." Whether it's Liuxianggui Street or a restaurant, having three more guards is definitely a good thing!

After all, now that she has a lot of money, it is no problem to hire more guards.

Uncle Xu hadn't expressed his thanks yet, the eldest disciple and the second disciple immediately walked up to Chen Nianguan and introduced himself: "Master Chen, let's..."

Then he was blocked by Uncle Xu: "If you don't have any rules, you can call him Master Chen. You have to talk to the Kamikaze Escort first."

"It's all right." Chen Nianguan learned that Uncle Xu and the others chose to leave at this time because there happened to be a escort in the escort agency going south, so they escorted the escort back to their hometown on the way, knowing that they would pass through Funing County, and planned to write about it later.The family trusts Uncle Xu to take it back, and Si Ya also has something to ask Uncle Xu and the others to bring back to their hometown.

It will take time to complete these matters, so Chen Nianguan naturally invited the three masters and apprentices to the hall to have a meal together.

It so happened that they came to the door during the meal time. The thoughts of Uncle Xu and others were all because of Master Chen's good cooking skills!

Before the opening of the Chen Family Restaurant, the guards in the restaurant were lucky enough to have a taste of the variety of dim sum as the chefs practiced with the waiters. That feeling, tsk tsk, Mr. Xu must not admire it!

So went to Xianggui Street with the cheek to eat and drink.

When the three of them were introduced to everyone present at the banquet, and when Chen Nianguan introduced Grandpa Duan at the banquet, Uncle Xu was still smiling slightly, but his eyes fell on the porcelain bowl that Grandpa Duan kept beating with chopsticksAt that time, the smile quickly disappeared, as if he took a breath of air.

Grandpa Duan was very angry because he was interrupted during the meal!

"Who is this old man?"

"Grandpa Duan!"

"My grandpa!"

Si Ya and Xiao You spoke in unison.

Uncle Xu looked at Xiao You suspiciously, as if he wanted to see something on his face, "Your grandfather?"

Xiao You nodded, looking at Uncle Xu's alert face.

"Your last name is Duan?"

"That's right."

Chen Nianguan saw something was wrong, "Uncle Xu, what's going on?"

"It's okay, this Grandpa Duan is quite like an old friend I knew before." Uncle Xu sighed, looking at the vicissitudes of Grandpa Duan, his eyes were full of sighs.

After finishing the meal, Si Ya questioned him, and Uncle Xu finally revealed that when he was a young boy, traveling all over the world, he happened to meet a strange man with high martial arts skills.He has a strong martial arts and swordsmanship.

"My master is named Duan."

So, Grandpa Duan was also a swordsman with high martial arts skills?

It's a pity that now that he's getting older, no matter how strong his martial arts skills are, he's still just a bad old man!

Time is not forgiving!

Uncle Xu sighed!

Back then, I was still a high-spirited young man, but in a blink of an eye, I became a forty-year-old master, and Master Duan, who was in his prime at the time, has now become a frail old man, and he doesn't even know the disciples he once taught.

In fact, Uncle Xu almost didn't recognize Grandpa Duan, but he only dared to confirm his identity when he saw the porcelain bowl that Grandpa Duan often used.

"Is there anything strange about that porcelain bowl?"

"That's not a porcelain bowl, it's a jade bowl made of jade. It is said that Master Duan was rewarded with a jade bowl for saving a nobleman back then. After that, Master Duan only used this jade bowl.Meal." Uncle Xu said, "Master Duan's name is engraved on the edge of the jade bowl, and I saw it before I was sure that he belonged to Master Duan."

Chen Nianwan was dumbfounded, and Si Ya was also dumbfounded.

That, that, the bowl of Grandpa Duan, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a cheap and broken porcelain bowl. It turned out to be made of jade?Isn't it worth thousands of gold?

"By the way, how did Mrs. Chen know Master Duan?"

"I just know Funing County!" Chen Nianguan didn't know that Grandpa Duan was so good at martial arts, how could he end up in exile with Xiao You in Funing County, and almost became the leader of a beggar, butJudging from the situation at the time, it must be a worrying situation!

The moon may be dim or bright, round or crescent shaped, people have misfortunes and fortunes, is it because the Duan family has gone downhill?

"I never heard of him having any children back then, how could a grandson suddenly appear?" Uncle Xu asked again after sighing.

"I don't know either. I first recruited Xiao You because he was reliable, diligent and capable."

As for Grandpa Duan, that was by the way.

But if Grandpa Duan wasn't Xiaoyou's real grandfather, Xiao You wouldn't be so filial to him, right?

This grandpa and grandson seem to have a deep relationship!

When I was in Liujia Village, it was Grandpa Duan who insisted on taking him to see his grandson in Prefecture City, but in Capital City, Xiao You, who was the guard, spent a lot of effort persuading himself to bring Grandpa Duan back to Beijing with him.

It can be said that Xiao You did his best to Grandpa Duan.

But it's no wonder, as Xiao You's grandson, he can understand where his strong martial arts come from.

After talking about the impermanence of the world, everyone started to get down to business. In addition to entrusting Uncle Xu to take the family letter back to Funing County, when they returned to Beijing, Chen Nianguan also entrusted them with a escort.

Now that the restaurant is about to open, the new sauces to be used must be replenished, so she paid a lot of money to hire Uncle Xu to contact Liu's in Funing County, and then escort the latest batch of sauces to Capital City.

When there is business coming, Uncle Xu naturally agrees.

Si Ya took out the money she had saved and wrote a crooked letter home.

"Hey, Si Ya, you can read and write letters." Uncle Xu was surprised.

"That's not true. Master Chen's talented cousin taught it!"

Liu Qing, a scholar cousin, heard about Uncle Xu's delivery of letters, and when Uncle Xu was leaving, he wrote dozens of thick family letters trusting them to take them back to his mother and uncle.

Before Uncle Xu left, he looked at the bewildered Grandpa Duan and called a few words to Master, but when he got no response, he sighed heavily, shook his head and left with a sigh.

After Xiao You learned that Uncle Xu was a disciple taught by his grandfather, his face remained cold and his mouth was pursed. After Uncle Xu left, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and looked at Chen Nianguan.stared at him, startled.

Chen Nianguan smiled at him and went back to the house.

No matter how powerful a person is, they can’t escape the day when they will be old. They still have to work hard while they are young and earn more money. When they are old, they can eat and drink well, and they can also hire many migrant workers to take care of them.Own.

So during the day and night, watching the sky darken, Chen Nianwan still couldn't bear it, and took Xiaoyou and Siya to Suchuan Road.

It doesn't make sense for my own restaurant to not show up on the first or second day of opening to see what's going on, right?

Because the curfew was restored today, it is natural to close at the stipulated time, so Liu Yun and the others can leave the inner city earlier, so today's Chen Family Restaurant closes earlier than yesterday.

When Chen Nianguan went in to find someone, the clerks in the restaurant were already finishing the work. He asked where the shopkeeper Shi was, and he replied that he was in the accounting room, so Chen Nianguan went straight to the backyard wing.

"Miss Chen!"

In the account room, shopkeeper Shi and Fang Wulang are quickly calculating today's profit.

Seeing Chen Nianguan, he quickly got up to greet him. Chen Nianguan waved his hand, pretending to be a calm demeanor of the big boss, telling them to leave him alone and continue to settle accounts.

In fact, heart was pounding, and really wanted to know how much money made in total in the two days?

On the desk, there are one hundred taels of silver bills, one fifty taels of silver bills, one round of twenty taels of silver bills, and another round of ten taels of silver bills, followed by silver ingots and silver dimes placed on trays.It was so full that Chen Nianguan couldn't stop staring at it.

"Brother-in-law, today's revenue is a total of 1,864 taels of silver!"

Ah!Chen Nianguan couldn't help covering his mouth, for fear that he would cry out too excitedly.

Tut tut!Shi Cunqi, who used to be the owner of Yueman Building, cried out: "Really? Did you calculate it wrong?"

"Brother-in-law, there are indeed so many." Fang Wulang blushed, and seemed to be very excited.

Although had expected that today would earn less money than yesterday when there was no curfew, it actually exceeded 2,000 taels, even because of the opening of the new store, there are too many diners who come to try something new.

Even Yueman Building would not be able to make so much profit during the holiday season.

"Master Chen!" Shi Cunqi looked at Chen Nianguan with admiration.

What do diners come to Chen's Restaurant for?

Fresh.

Chen's Dim Sum serves a wide variety of main dishes, most of which are not available elsewhere. Whether it is dim sum or dishes, many of them are made with Master Chen's own secret sauce, which is not only delicious, but also full of flavor.

novel.

The pastries that are mainly steamed in small steamers, the strange way of delivering meals by carts, and the way of using bamboo to settle accounts are all unique in Beijing.

novelty.

The gentleman's area and lady's area separated from the first floor and the second floor allow the ladies and girls who go out to eat to find the best place to eat, and they can enjoy the same cart service as the gentlemen on the first floor. YesterdayThe wives and ladies who had come to eat at Yuan Ye were very satisfied, and they spread the word when they went back.

So today more girls and women from aristocratic families came. They were still wearing veiled hats when they entered the store, but they were able to take off the veiled hats when they went up to the second floor. The lobby instantly became the best social meeting place.Now it is the large wing room on the third floor, which has basically become the exclusive dining area for ladies.

Isn't that right, once the Shangyuan Festival is over, the gentlemen who are the pillars of the family have to do their work, even the emperor in the palace has to go to court, who has such leisure as the ladies?

The wives and girls of the rich and powerful families in Capital City have a lot of money, and they are pampered by the gentlemen in the family. Once they come, they can spend money like water, and they can eat from morning to night, and they will earn a lot.

Looking at the restaurants in Capital City, which restaurant can attract so many ladies at once like our Chenjia restaurant?

There are no boxes specially set up for ladies, let alone a lobby specially made for ladies.

This step of Chen's restaurant is wonderful!

Thinking back to when Master Chen wanted to dismantle the boxes and build a lobby, I still had some concerns, because I didn't see as far as Master Chen did!

Shi Cunqi couldn't help nodding when he remembered the first time he met Chen Nianguan selling fish curd two years ago.

If it was at that time, I knew that Master Chen had such a wonderful idea in his mind, and I couldn't help but recruit her into my subordinates.

However, after going round and round, in the end, he was able to cooperate with Master Chen to open this restaurant, what a blessing!

The Chen family restaurant has great potential, great potential!

When Shi Cunqi thought of the Yueman Building that was in full bloom in the Zhou Dynasty, the scene of Chen's restaurants opening all over the place had already appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help being excited: "Master Chen, this restaurant is doing well!"

"I think so too."

Receiving praise from the first person in this world to appreciate her, Chen Nianguan was in a very good mood. Even two years ago, she never thought that she would ask Shi Cunqi to be the shopkeeper of her restaurant in the future!

"So, how much did you earn yesterday?"

This Fang Wulang was familiar, so he blurted out: "A total of two thousand one hundred and sixty-six taels of silver."

Good guy!Chen Nianguan couldn't help whistling.

The Chen Family Restaurant will open soon, and they will earn back more than three thousand taels!!

I chose to open on the Lantern Festival without a curfew, so I chose the right day!

"Shopkeeper Shi, tell me, if things go on like this, in the remaining half a month, our Chen Family Restaurant will probably earn enough 10,000 yuan?"

Shi Cunqi, who has always been reserved, couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Most likely."

Isn't that right, during the New Year's Eve, there are many princes and aristocrats returning to Beijing. They have tasted the food at the Chen Family Restaurant.How many times did you eat before?

In addition, this year is the year of spring, once the festival is over, students from all over the country will come to Beijing one after another, and they are also a big consumer customer. Now that the Chen family restaurant is famous, why don't they come to try it?

Calculating this way, there are still fourteen days left in January, even if one day earns half of today's profit, it can break through ten thousand taels.

The Chen Family Restaurant is simply golden!

This golden nest belongs to her Master Chen!

Chen Nianguan knows that there is a golden road in front of the Chenjia restaurant he owns, so beautiful in his heart!

What is Rijin Doujin?

Look, her restaurant like Chen's is called Rijindoujin!

In time, when all the ladies in Capital City know that eating in Chen's Restaurant is convenient, delicious, and the best place for socail, then the status of Chen's Restaurant will be stabilized!

So after the Shangyuan Festival, the reputation of Chenjia Restaurant in Capital City became more and more prosperous day by day.

Young girls and gentlemen are thinking about the candy that symbolizes a happy love. Ladies and ladies are thinking about the assortment of steamed cakes in restaurants. Boys and gentlemen like the freedom of taking food on the cart or picking it up on the spot. Mrs.We are also thinking about ordering a pot of good tea and ordering a few small orders, so that we can enjoy the leisure of watching the fireworks while leaning on the window lattice.

For dinner, after hearing many unheard-of dishes, you can freely choose the nine big gui, the unique flavor of preserved meat rice, delicious roast duck, tender white-cut chicken, sweet steamed pork ribs with scallop sauce..., Wait, wait, compared to many dishes eaten at other restaurants, there is always a distinctive umami taste, which is really tempting!

The Vegetarian Restaurant in Grand Buddhist Temple, the Huadeng Road in Shangyuan Night, the name of Chen’s Restaurant has been passed down by word of mouth, and it has been promoted to the upstart of Capital City Restaurant in an instant!

On the tenth day of opening, the business of Chen Family Restaurant is still booming!

Whether it's the first, second or third floors, whether it's the lobby or private rooms, there are no empty seats!

Everyone heard that there are more than a hundred kinds of dim sum in Chenjia Restaurant, and many people who are not short of money want to try them all!

Ladies and gentlemen who have money and leisure?????, those who book the box early, heard that they can go straight from morning tea to lunch, and the Chen family restaurant is constantly making money!

Such a scene of customers coming like a cloud immediately made other restaurants in the inner city jealous.

Some are calm, like the big owner of Yufenglou: "It's okay, it's just opened, and everyone wants to try something new. After the heat is over, their business will definitely cool down. At that time, I'm afraid that our customers willWon't you come back?"

I am in a hurry, like the big owner of Jixiangju. Seeing that these days, diners from the outer city have flocked to Suchuan Road in the inner city, saying that they want to try so many dim sum in Chen's restaurant and enjoy the cart delivery service, "This is terrible. If they get used to the cart service, they will choose Chen's restaurant in the future. What if they are not used to our restaurant?"

After all, even if there are many diners in Capital City, the overall number is only so many. If there are more diners going to Chen’s restaurant, wouldn’t there be fewer diners from the restaurant?

There are also those who are deeply ashamed, such as Uncle Shi of Yueman Building, who was so angry that he broke many bowls after hearing about the prosperity of the Chen Family Restaurant after its opening.

Diners who come to Yueman Building know today that Shi Dong’s family in Yueman Building was recruited by Master Chen to Chen’s restaurant, and they have successively launched so many dim sum and dishes that people in Capital City have never seen before.Feng Du went to Chen's Restaurant to taste fresh food, and the number of diners in Yueman Building has decreased in recent days.

Uncle Shi also believes that these diners are just early adopters. After all, diners can't help but make impulsive consumption for new dishes in new restaurants, right?

After tasting the taste, even if Mrs. Chen is really good at cooking, the dish is really delicious, but diners will not eat it often, will they?After all, if you eat too much, you will get bored, and you have to try the different tastes of other restaurants.

Otherwise, how could so many large and small restaurants survive in Capital City?

Uncle Shi was not annoyed by this, but what was annoyed was that those patrons who came back to Yueman Building after tasting Chen's restaurant boasted about their second brother.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I can't see it, Second Master Shi, no, Master Shi is really amazing. He was so capable in Yueman Building back then, but now he is not working in Yueman Building, and he managed to create such an interesting Chen's Restaurant."

"That's right, I heard that it was he who had a good eye for people and cooperated with Master Chen early on for the fish curd and Chenjia rice noodles in Yueman Building."

"I am capable in Yueman Building, but I owe the blessings of the predecessors of Shi's family, but Shi Erye can open a new restaurant and run it well, but he is not ordinary capable!"

"Big Master Shi's family is really, how could such a capable Second Master Shi be kicked out of Yueman Building?"

"I'm afraid it's not..."

Hearing these whispers and the many compliments to his second brother, Uncle Shi was so jealous that he almost lost his temper.

He knew that he shouldn't have watched the Chen family restaurant open.

Helplessly, since the six sons' attempted arson incident, the guards staying at the Chen Family Restaurant were extra vigilant, and they were noticed in advance before they made a move for a long time. Under strict precautions, he didn't find a chance to do it at all.

When the new year's festival came, he was busy with the family's entertainment, and the business of Yueman Building was also booming, so the matter of dealing with Chen's restaurant was delayed.

Now Uncle Shi is so regretful that his intestines are green.

In any case, we should start as soon as possible. Now that the Chen family restaurant is famous, they can do it casually. If they are caught, they will become the target of public criticism.

But you can't let it go, this matter needs to be carefully discussed!

Shi Cunqi must not be allowed to continue to be proud and arrogant!

As time passed, the restaurants in Capital City found that the customers who used to help their restaurants came back one after another, so they gradually breathed a sigh of relief.

I've said it all, but it's just a taste of something new. If you eat two or three meals in a restaurant, you must change your taste.

Restaurant owners are relieved.

What hundreds of dim sum?What cart service?The passenger flow has dropped, let's see how your Chen's restaurant is being reorganized?

So he sent a boy over to inquire about the short-lived situation in Chen's restaurant.

It turned out that the Chen family restaurant was still doing very well.

what happened?

How could there be so many diners in the Chen family restaurant without Mr. Lang Jun who came to their restaurant?

The owners of the restaurant didn't understand, and when they sent clever boys over to spy on the military situation, they found out that this Chen's restaurant originally had a lobby for girls and wives on the second and third floors, so that ladiesThey all ate in the lobby with peace of mind and generously like a gentleman, and as a result, they almost attracted all the ladies in Capital City.

I heard that Chen’s restaurant has now launched a special supply of sugar water for women, such as double-skin milk, winter burning, and fragrance, etc. It is nourishing and nourishing. Many wives of aristocratic families are aiming at the fresh and sweet taste.There are all kinds of sugar water.

"syrup?"

The restaurant owners looked at their own restaurant where they were all patrons of the gentlemen, looked at each other in blank dismay, speechless.

No wonder this Chen's restaurant has been prosperous and prosperous for a long time since its opening. It turned out that the idea was directed at the ladies.

Does your own restaurant have to learn from Master Chen, keep pace with the times, and set up a special area for ladies?

It's just opened up, and the dessert and pastry shop can quickly supply it, but what is the sugar water?Where can they go to learn about double-skin milk, how about burning it in winter?

You can't let them go to the Chen's restaurant to steal the teacher?

Even if they send someone to steal it, whether they can steal it is still a question!

Of course, it is necessary to make up for the blind sheep. Other restaurants began to discuss heatedly about the ladies market, to see if it is necessary to set up a special area for ladies in their own restaurants.

Some supportive: "We used to ignore these groups of diners. Since the wives and girls also like to eat dine-in, it would be good to open a lobby."

Those who do not support it: "The layout of our restaurant is like this. You want to temporarily start construction to open up an area. How long will it take to renovate? During the period, there is a lot of noise and no business? It is business, will those customers be willing to come?Well, the work has been suspended for half a month and there is no income. The new lobby has been built. Can you guarantee that they will be attracted to the restaurant like the Chen Family Restaurant? They can spend money outside, and that is also from Mr. Lang.Got it, how much money can we make from them every month? Don't lose all your pants by then!"

Some people directly vetoed: "Anyway, our restaurant is like this. Ladies want to come, so they have to go to the private room, and they have to eat dine-in like gentlemen? Hypocritical!"

Anyway, there are a lot of ideas, but for the time being, they dare not venture forward. They all want to wait and see how long the prosperity of the Chen family restaurant, which has attracted the ladies, can last.

However, the prosperity of the Chen family restaurant, of course, has continued.

By the time the owners of the restaurants realize that this lady's business can really be done and the market is considerable, it is already too late.

Because at that time, Chen’s Restaurant became the benchmark for women’s social dining in Capital City with its unique recipes and desserts, and others couldn’t catch up even if they flattered.

By that time, many restaurant owners regretted it too late.
