Qu Wu's Caiyun Restaurant ushered in the big day of opening.

Early in the morning, Qu Wu instructed Ji Zhi to fix the arched gate made of 200 colorful balloons that they had prepared the day before around the gate of the restaurant compound.

The citizens of Hanyue had never seen balloons, and these brightly colored round, bulging, and fluttering things captured the curiosity of the citizens and immediately attracted many onlookers.

Due to the novelty, the news of the opening of this restaurant spread throughout Hanyue City by word of mouth.

There is also a big wooden sign erected at the door of the restaurant, and the red paper on it reads: Wu Rong's wedding thanksgiving family banquet.

Towards noon, guests came to the restaurant one after another.

Entering the gate of the courtyard and entering the lobby, I saw that there were four large round tables in the lobby, on which exquisite ceramic tableware and wooden chopsticks had been placed, and in the middle of the round table were three small charcoal simmering hot pots, which were steaming fish, pork, and chicken.

There is a small stage in front of the lobby, and on the stage wall is a few big characters composed of flashing LED lights: Wurong County Yin Wedding Appreciation Banquet.

The windows in the lobby were large, and the lattices were covered with white paper that they had never seen before to let in light, and at the back of the lobby were rows of glass bottles of liquor and some tin cans and plastic bottles of beverages that they had never seen before.

These never-before-seen things were an eye-opener for all the guests: there were small lights that could emit light, windows that could let in light, tableware that could be so exquisite, and dishes that could be made into hot pots that could be heated while eating.

The surprise is much more than that. There is also a row of shelves on one side of the counter in the lobby, which are neatly stacked with all kinds of beautifully packaged biscuits, drinks, candies, and neatly arranged lighters on the counter, but these customers are not only amazed by the beautiful packaging of these things, but they are attracted by the packaging of these things, and curiously inquire about what these things are.

Qu Wu, Ji Zhi, Kong Chen, and Li Wei enthusiastically introduced the characteristics of these products, and handed them tasting samples such as biscuits and candies, and they were all surprised after eating them. And when Ji Zhi snapped a lighter and lit it, they let out an exclamation, compared to the drill wood and fire sickle they used, this thing was too convenient.

Qu Wu was worried that too many varieties would attract too many questions, so he only listed these few items.

However, these things are by no means cheap, and the purchase combination that Qu Wu offers them is a tael of gold to buy a lighter plus a bottle of drink, a pack of biscuits, and a box of chocolates, and the price of liquor is a bottle of a tael of gold.

The banquet had not yet begun, and almost all of the guests had bought the goods, because the lighters made it difficult for them to resist the temptation. But there are almost no people who buy wine, because they don't know what it tastes like and it is so expensive.

At noon, the county Yin appeared at the door of the lobby. Qu Wu and Wu Jiang hurriedly went over to say hello, and other guests also came over to talk to County Yin, because the rule at that time was that women were not allowed to sit at the table, so the new lady did not appear.

Wu Rong walked on the small stage after greeting everyone, and spoke with a delicate microphone handed over by Wu Jiang, thanking these guests for coming, and at the same time, at the same time, in response to Wu Jiang's plea, Wu Rong County Yin specially warned everyone that when leaving after eating, do not take away any tableware here, because they are very valuable things, if someone is caught with tableware, the consequences are at their own risk, I hope everyone will supervise each other and report rewards. The amplified sound spread around every corner, and the people were amazed.

When I entered the private room and sat down, everyone else took their seats, and the food began to be served. I saw a plate of stir-fried vegetables that they had never eaten brought up, and Xiao Er poured a glass of liquor for each guest, opened the wine bottle, and a burst of wine aroma surprised the guests. After drinking this exquisite bottle of liquor, these guests shouted that it was the best delicacy in the world, and some guests hurriedly left the table and came to the counter to buy this worldly liquor.

After the banquet, there were many guests who came to buy liquor, so Qu Wu had to let them line up to buy it one by one, selling several boxes of liquor at once, and collecting more than ten catties of gold.

They didn't expect these people to buy so much, because what they sell is really expensive.

The opening was an instant hit, although everyone was very tired, but they were all very happy, everyone was also hungry, so they had lunch together, Qu Wu and everyone ate and chatted in the lobby.

"After receiving so much gold today, apart from being happy, what do you think?" Qu Wu asked everyone.

"Good thing, we're going to make a fortune." Everybody said.

"I'm not that optimistic, although I'm as happy as everyone else, but I still have some worries." Qu Wu said

"What's wrong?" Wu Jiang felt strange.

"First of all, everyone has seen that our business here is good, and it is inevitable that it will not attract the attention of bad people, although we have a safe, but bad people will be bad for people when they come in."

"It's not impossible to deal with bad guys, I mean pay soldiers to protect them." Wu Jiang said.

"That's exactly what I mean, you can do it. It's best to have soldiers on duty all night tonight, and tomorrow rent a house nearby for them to station, and you negotiate with them first, and we will take care of it. ”

"Okay, I'll do it later." Wu Jiang said.

"Second, we only took out a few commodities, and we collected so much gold back, and there are many more attractive goods in the warehouse, and if we sell them like this, it will not be sustainable for a long time, the market is so big, there are too few rich people, we must open up a larger market, or attract foreign merchants to buy goods wholesale, so that they can help us develop markets in other places." Qu Wu said.

"But if we also take the way we open a restaurant, it may be difficult to do a good job without a good backstage, right?" Chen Damao asked.

"Even if you don't open a restaurant, it's very dangerous to just open a shop that only sells this, without a certain amount of backstage protection." Ji Zhi said.

"Yes, so transfer the risk, let the people with this ability open it, and we will make a little profit for everyone." Qu Wu said.

"Since you said that you want to have a good backstage, I'll ask my brother later to see if his friends in Gusu can help." Wu Jiang said.

"It's a good idea, there are more rich people in Gusu, and if it's possible, we can also go there to develop." When Qu Wu heard this, he came to his senses and wanted to go to Gusu to have a look.

After Wu Jiang finished eating, he went to the county government to find someone to implement the matter of the soldiers protecting the restaurant, of course, there was a cost. With their protection, no villain dared to step into Caiyun Restaurant for half a step.

Wu Jiang went to see Wu Rong with Qu Wu the next day, Wu Rong was very supportive of their idea, and also said that in ten days, many officials would accompany the monarch Wu to Qi to inspect here, and they would definitely come to Caiyun Restaurant for dinner, and when the time came, they would act when the opportunity came.

The banquet on the first day of Caiyunlou left a deep impression on all the participants, stir-fried vegetables and hot pot are all delicacies that these people have never eaten, and lighters and fine wine have become artifacts to show off.

From that day on, going to Caiyunlou to eat became a status symbol, and business was booming.
