The whole restaurant is divided into three floors. The first floor is divided into two halls and three or four single rooms for guests who come to eat.It is a guest room.

Gu Huaijin and Lu Zhao went out straight away, and there were staff in the restaurant to help watch.

When we arrived at Qi Mansion, the entrance was even more prosperous than that on the sixth day of the lunar new year, and the maids and servants in the courtyard were happily chatting and laughing about how much the new wife paid for entering the door today.

As soon as he entered the door, Steward Qi waited in the yard, talking and laughing, he brought Gu Huaijin into Qi Yuanwai's study room. The difference from last time was that he did not report this time but went directly into the study room.

In the study, Qi Yuanwai clearly told Gu Huaijin that he only charged Gu Huaijin's rent of 8.2 to 96 taels a month, and Qi Yuanwai would bear the rest of the staff's wages in the store.A wedding restaurant.

That's why Gu Huaijin paid such a large amount of money, because he wanted to use Gu Huaijin's reputation to set up a business by himself, so that he wouldn't make a loss-making business.

When Gu Huaijin's restaurant got better, Qi Yuanwai's restaurant on Tianyu Street also started holding wedding banquets.

For ninety-six taels, Gu Huaijin paid forty-six taels, and Tang Ling gave fifty taels, including Wen Qiliang's twenty taels.

There were constant letters between Tang Ling and Wen Qiliang, and Wen Qiliang also kept asking about Lu Zhao's affairs, and even asked for money when he learned that he opened a restaurant.

The restaurant is ready for lease, and the decoration inside does not need to be strenuous. Today, a wedding banquet has fully blown out the signboard.

It's just that the signboard of the welcome restaurant at the entrance is not good, it was used when Lao Jiuzi was there, Gu Huaijin thought it was not good, so he mentioned a "Shuiyunjian" and asked someone to carve a signboard and hang it up.

In the restaurant, there are always more than ten people, big and small, and chefs, and five or six people in the back kitchen, who prepare the side dishes for cooking.There are ten people in total, the waiters outside and the shopkeeper who settles the accounts.

Now there is one more Wang Kun who is mainly responsible for washing dishes.

Wang Kun went out to wash the dishes for a day, and finally learned that such a big restaurant changed its name to Gu Huaijin and Lu Zhao?

The rent alone was more than ninety taels and almost one hundred taels. At the beginning, the small restaurant that no one was optimistic about was turned into a big restaurant that Gu Huaijin couldn't look up to.But this is not what makes Wang Kun uncomfortable. What is uncomfortable is that in such a large restaurant, he only earns tens of pennies a day just for washing dishes.

Wang Kun gritted his teeth, thinking that after Wang Xinghua's banquet was over, he would mention the wage increase to Gu Huaijin and Lu Zhao.

Gu Huaijin's copper pot hot pot was also famous at this wedding banquet. Many people came to eat and asked for copper pots. This place is not like the one on Tiger Skin Street. There are many people who come and order more dishes.

The whole day's profit will be more than one hundred taels, and Gu Huaijin took twenty taels out of it and gave it to Lu Zhao, which is the protection fee that will be handed over later.

As for the kind of protection Gu Huaijin didn't know, and he didn't know why he had to pay it, but all the shops on the street had to pay it, just to prevent people from making trouble, after all, how could it be so easy to make so much money?How could it be so simple to dare to blatantly collect protection fees.

In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day, Wang Xinghua's engagement banquet.

It's not good for the shop on Tiger Skin Street to be empty because the rent has not yet expired.Fang Zheng now has a lot of staff in the restaurant.Tang Ling could work in the shop on Hupi Street with two assistants by himself, and he could also come and take care of the restaurant.

Gu Huaijin and Lu Zhao didn't go to the restaurant today, since Zhao Hongmei had paid the money, this matter was going to be done, and the ingredients for the seven tables of wine and dishes were all ready.

The banquets in the village are all done by setting up a shed in the yard of one's own home and setting up a few tables.For those who are better, go to restaurants and restaurants to order a few tables of meals, or call a few aunts and aunts in the yard to cook together at home.

Guo Qing and Zhao Hongmei booked the Gu Huaijin Hotel. Not only relatives from the same village came here today, but also the old lady of the Gu family and people from Zhao Hongmei's natal family.

Seven tables is already quite a lot, and there are four tables outside, with two tables for men and two tables for women separated by curtains.There are three tables in the room, usually close relatives are in the room, plus Wang Xinghua's natal family.

Gu Huaijin and Lu Zhao were also arranged in the room.

It was an engagement, so there were not many relatives involved, and Wang Xinghua was in the same village, so both Wang Shuhua and Xingliu came with Wang Xinghua.In order to look good, Zhao Hongmei asked Gu Zizhuang to pick up Wang Xinghua early in the morning.

The fact that this matter was done made the villagers change their views on the two sisters-in-law of the Gu family. Not to mention how Gu Ziqian and Gu Ziqi got the money, it means that the gift money can be given as much as it is, and the engagement is a little bit mother-in-law.He didn't put on airs, and at the engagement banquet, his son was asked to pick up his new wife early.

A lot of money was spent on the engagement banquet, and Gu Huaijin's craftsmanship is also superb. smelled it when opened a small restaurant in the village before, and finally tasted it today.

Zhao Hongmei and Guo Qing were not so kind. If they were kind, they wouldn't look for the girl from the Wang family.In fact, Wang Xinghua also wanted to make things difficult for Gu Huaijin and Lu Zhao.

Everyone in the village knew that Gu Huaijin and Lu Zhao didn't even get married, and they didn't even celebrate the ceremony. If it wasn't for the fact that they signed the marriage contract, they wouldn't know how long they would be laughed at.

They insisted on spending a lot of money to let Gu Huaijin and Lu Zhao come to cook for the purpose of disgusting Gu Huaijin.

Their family can pay for Gu Zizhuang's marriage, but they won't do it for you, Gu Huaijin. You not only ran away with others, but also turned against your own family. Now that our family is prosperous, let Gu Huaijin take a look.Let Gu Huaijin regret it.

Let Lu Zhao know that even though you signed a marriage contract with Gu Huaijin, you didn't pay any gift or gift money. You are nothing in our Gu family, and your sister is not as good as our favorite.

After the banquet, we sat outside and talked for a while, and those who were far away or in a village had nothing to help and left.Only a few uncles and aunts were sitting in the room talking with Wang Xinghua.

Naturally, Gu Huaijin and Lu Zhao didn't leave either, they still had to wait to clean up the tableware outside, so they also sat in the main room.

In the room, Guo Qing and Zhao Hongmei were sitting beside Wang Liuchun, Wang Xinghua was next to Zhao Hongmei on the big bed, and Wang Chuntao and Wang Shuhua were sitting and laughing together.

In addition, Zhao Hongmei's sisters also came, as well as a few older women from the same village, who were all doing homework together.

Zhao Hongmei is happy today, wearing a navy blue ermine coat, her hair tied up in a bun and emerald hairpins, she is more fanciful than Wang Liuchun.

Guo Qing's clothes were slightly inferior to Zhao Hongmei's, and today was not her day to be in the limelight.

"Today's dinner is really good. This young man is really capable. He can even cook after reading. Her aunt will be blessed in the future. These grandchildren are all capable."

Lu Guoguo interrupted with a smile, and said that Wang Liuchun, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very happy to hear it.

Guo Qing grabbed a handful of melon seeds and paper-wrapped candies and gave them to Lu Guoguo.

The mothers-in-law of the Lu country are used to saying nice things, and they play with the wind. A few days ago, they ran against Guo Qing and Zhao Hongmei with others to drive Mrs. Wen away, but now they can turn their heads and want Guo Qing to defectShaking out all the bad things others said about Guo Qing, it is even sweeter now that she has a lot of paper-wrapped candies.

It's no wonder that Lu Guo's scumbags, such a handful of paper-wrapped candy is sweet for everyone, candy is precious, and the most common thing to do for weddings is maltose, most of which are wrapped in red paper.There's not much to put on a table, just a few yuan, and for the Gu family's business today, candy and melon seeds can be eaten casually, Lu's country has two big pockets, so you don't need to buy candy after the New Year, you can eat paper-wrapped candiesNow, I can still take it back to my natal family to support my face.

Guo Qing and Zhao Hongmei didn't forget to taunt Gu Huaijin and Lu Zhao when they were happy, "My son is sensible, if he doesn't know how to raise him, he will become a white-eyed wolf, and it's serious to spend how much money to hold a decent wedding.Yes, it's not a pickle who runs away with others."
