Shen Lan booked drinks and ingredients, and returned to the store, because the new store was about to open, Shen Lan was a little uneasy, and tried the dishes with the chef in the shop to determine the recipe, and because Shen Lan's house had not yet been built, there was no need for two rough mothers-in-law for a while, so she was also reserved by Shen Lan to help with chores in the kitchen, and invited a shopkeeper and a guy who ran the hall, in fact, Ah Fu can be said to be two guys who ran the hall, so that the things of the restaurant were finally arranged. As for the other little girl and the old man who was the janitor, they were still arranged in the restaurant temporarily, and they only moved to a new house when Shen Lan's house was built.

In the blink of an eye, October 16th arrived, early in the morning Shen Lan put on a new dress, dressed very decently in the store to prepare to greet guests, the middle of the month and the end of each month is the day of Yuan's set, now it is the 16th has passed the day, so the main street outside is not lively, early in the morning Shen Lan invited guests have come one after another, the lobby has set up tables and chairs, just wait for the auspicious time to arrive on the opening ceremony, this time is different from Shen Lan's time, the opening of the new shop is just a firecracker, and then the sacrifice is considered to be the opening.

As time passed, the auspicious time was imminent, Shen Lan invited the patriarch of the Song clan and Yuan Lichang to preside over the opening, with the sound of firecrackers, the two stood at the door of Shiweixuan, holding incense and candles in their hands to worship the gods of the Quartet, praying for the prosperity of Shiweixuan's business, after worshipping the gods, the patriarch of Song asked people to carry the offering table out and put it outside the door, and the table placed five animal sacrifices, and then the two worshiped in the air, and after the specific ceremony, Shiweixuan was officially opened, at this time Shen Lan ordered people to set off firecrackers, The guests invited by Shen Lan in the house were also ready to take their seats.

At this time, the sound of gongs and drums sounded outside the house, and after a while, two lions danced over, this was arranged by Yuan Hao, Shen Lan knew that the lion that was jumping and jumping stopped when it came to Shen Lan's door, and began to perform at Shiweixuan, and the guests who heard the gongs and drums ran out to see the excitement.

For a while, the front of Shiweixuan was very lively, the two lions competed with each other, rolling and jumping was very exciting, and then there was a program of picking green, everyone said it well, and finally the lion dance was over, only to see the lion dancer take off the lion's head, walked to Shen Lan and said loudly: "Our big boss and the second master of the Black Tiger Village congratulate the opening of Shiweixuan, and we send this thin gift to congratulate." ”

After saying that, the man beckoned, and someone immediately presented the gift, Shen Lan didn't expect Yuan Tian to also get together, and hurriedly greeted: "Thank you big brother for coming to give the gift, please thank the big boss and the second boss for their kindness on my behalf, if the big brother doesn't dislike it, go into the house and drink a glass of thin wine." ”

"Song Niangzi is polite, I won't be polite to Niangzi when I wait." The man was not embarrassed, after Shen Lan made a gesture of invitation, he took people into the house, Shen Lan entered the house to greet the guests, and the shopkeeper of the food and taste xuan outside the house stood at the door and said to everyone: "The small shop is open today, and the special offer is half price for three days, and you are welcome to come in and taste the patronage." ”

As soon as I heard about the half-price discount, the people who were ready to go back after watching the excitement came back a few, and there were guests entering the store one after another, and the guests who entered the store found that this store was very different, the house was paved with green bricks, neat and clean tables and chairs, there were a lot of lanterns hanging in the house, and the lanterns were hung in mid-air, there was a lantern just above each table, and a bamboo sign made of bamboo boards was hung on the wall behind the counter, the name of the dish was written on the bamboo card, and the price was marked below, which was completely clearly marked. You can see what kind of dishes and what prices at a glance.

I was really a little curious about this restaurant, so someone sat down, and then began to order, at this time it was not yet a meal, so the little guy and Shen Fu who ran the hall also had time to entertain guests, and the literate guests had already learned the recipes from the bamboo sign behind the counter, and when Shen Fu and Zhao Yuan of the running hall came forward, they immediately reported the dishes to be eaten.

Soon the dishes began to be served in the box, these are the relatives and elders who came to congratulate Shen Lan on the opening of the new store and the rich squire of Yuan Jiaji, Shen Lan has already set the table, now is the time to serve, the first day of opening, Shen Lan is worried that she will stay in the kitchen supervision on a business trip, and because there is only one chef, Shen Lan is afraid that it will be too late, she can also help inside, because many dishes are set by her and the chef together, although her cooking skills are not as deep as the chef, but some dishes are still taught by her to the chef, So Shen Lan can be in charge of the kitchen completely.

Moreover, Shen Lan is a woman after all, and it is not good to show her face too much, so she asked Shen Renjie to help greet guests, after all, in addition to the relatives of the Shen family, there are also rich families in the Yuan family and the owners of some shops in the surrounding area, these people are not suitable for Shen Lan to entertain, so Shen Lan entrusted it to Shen Renjie, Shen Renjie has some insight in going south and north, and he is a famous Langzhong in Jixian County, and there is no intention of slacking off when he greets these people, and these people also understand that Shen Lan not only has Black Tiger Village as a backer, In addition, she is also the sister of Shen Langzhong, with this relationship, everyone will not exclude Shen Lan too much in the future, after all, women do not do much business.

When the dishes were served on the table, the diners who didn't care much about it were stunned, the exquisite plating, the tempting fragrance tempted everyone's appetite, picked up the chopsticks and tasted the taste, it was not lost to the taste of the big restaurant in Fucheng, everyone was a little stunned for a while, and they all got off the chopsticks like flying, they didn't expect such a poor country to have such a delicious meal.

It's not that Shen Lan's craftsmanship is outstanding, it's mainly that she eats and sees a lot, so the things she makes are naturally exquisite and beautiful, and the taste is good, and many of the squires and wealthy families here don't eat badly on weekdays, so they naturally have some pursuit in terms of color and fragrance, so as soon as Shen Lan rectifies it, she feels that the food taste is high-grade.

On the contrary, the diners outside also reacted very much, and there were relatives of Shen Lan's family, the reason was that Shen Lan's dishes were exquisite and good-looking, but usually the amount of exquisite and good-looking things was not very sufficient, for ordinary people, eating enough is the king, and naturally after these foods were served on the table, they were criticized by the diners for being stingy and picking the door, although the taste was good, but the portion was too small, which Shen Lan did not expect at all.

The place where Shen Lan used to live is a big city, if you go to a restaurant to eat, the dishes you order are all high-quality, and the amount is usually not too much, but it is absolutely exquisite and beautiful, just like a work of art, but the place where Shen Lan lives now is a relatively backward and poor place, and the people here eat a lot of food.

After Shen Lan got the news from the shopkeeper Xu Jing, she was immediately depressed, and immediately went out of the kitchen to apologize to the guests, and said that she would re-serve the dishes to the guests, and this time there would definitely be enough portions, which appeased most of the dissatisfied guests, and then Shen Lan reformulated the portion of the dishes, which temporarily eliminated the bad influence.

Finally this day has passed, everyone is so tired that they don't want to move, thanks to Shen Lan having a courtyard in Yuanjiaji, if you let Shen Fu drive a carriage to send her to Songjia Village now, I'm afraid it will be impossible, but it can be done to send her back to Yuanjiaji's small courtyard, so I lit a lantern to send Shen Lan back.

Returned to the rented courtyard, knocked on the door, first heard a dog barking, the old Guo Tou who was guarding the door walked to the door and asked, and then opened the door, this old Guo Tou's surname is Guo, Shen Lan didn't plan to change his surname, so he called his old Guo Tou, Shen Lan entered the yard, Shen Fucai went back to the store with a lantern, Shen Lan rented this yard is not big, it is only enough for Shen Lan to live with the nurse and Lao Guo Tou on weekdays, so the others were arranged by Shen Lan in the store.

The stone's nurse is surnamed Yan Mingyan, everyone calls her Yan Niang on weekdays, Yan Niang was bought by Shen Lan, and now she is specially carrying the stone at home, in addition to being responsible for the family's food and cleaning work, at this time Shen Lan came back, Yan Niang heard the movement, and immediately got up to prepare bath water for Shen Lan, and she was diligent and quick in her work, and stayed in the kitchen for a day, Shen Lan was covered in oil smoke, and she really needed to take a good bath, and she could relieve her fatigue by soaking.

So after Yan Niang prepared the bath water, Shen Lan soaked in, and suddenly felt that the fatigue of her whole body was relieved a lot by such a bubble, and after a while, Yan Niang took a piece of linen cloth in, Shen Lan raised her eyes slightly, and saw that it was Yan Niang and didn't say anything, originally this kind of thing should have been done by her personal girl Xiangling, but during this time Shen Lan arranged Xiangling in the restaurant, so Yan Niang took on the matter of serving her closely, and serving her bath also fell on Yan Niang.

Yan Niang lightly washed Shen Lan's hair, and almost never pulled Shen Lan's hair in the whole process, her movements were gentle and skillful, as if she was used to serving, when Yuan Hao sent people over, Shen Lan had already asked about the origin of several people, and knew that Yan Niang was originally a maid of a large family, and later let her go out to marry, but she was unladylike, and she was sold by her husband's family just after giving birth, and then she was bought by Yuan Hao to give it to Shen Lan.

So Yan Niang's way of serving people is good, in addition, Yan Niang is also a little fluent in literature and ink, which Shen Lan did not expect, originally sent Shen Hailing to study, and planned to learn to read and write with Shen Hailing, but now there is such a person in her hand, she has no need to be close and far, she plans to learn to read and write with Yan Niang after this busy time.
