It is the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, on both sides of the Caishui River at night, the rows of pavilions and pavilions are shrouded in all kinds of lights, and the pedestrians on the street gradually increase, whether the scholars and nobles or the ordinary people, have gone out of their homes to enjoy this pleasant night.

Since the opening of the evening market in Suiyuan, there has been an endless stream of diners sent to it, and it has been nearly two days, and there are still new customers coming to the door.
Yang Shou took over the guy who usually sends out the sticks of Brother Hei Niu today, and at this time, the sticks have already been sent, and the visitors can only order a few dishes of lo-mei and some wine to drink.
Even so, both the lobby and the private rooms on the second floor in the garden were still full, Wang Ming saw that it was too late and decided not to receive new guests, and Yang Shou had to refuse the guests with a smile.
But at this time, four more people came.
The leader one, twenty-six or seventeen years old, was dressed in a crimson lake silk round-necked robe, and a pair of black-bottomed double-finch official boots.
Standing beside him was a widow, only five feet tall, with very fat clothes and trousers, but he still couldn't hide his fat body, and his belly was round like a balloon full of air.
Not only did they have a round belly, but their heads looked like ripe winter melons, there was no hair on the top of their heads, and the fat oil reflected in the light, their ears pressed against their heads, as if they were growing together, and the back of their heads were tied in a strange bun like a sausage.
His eyes were very small, as if his mother was severely malnourished when she was pregnant with him, there were only two thin slits under the two small rubbing eyebrows, a large nose collapsed as if there was no bridge of the nose, and a pair of large thick and flat lips could tell that this man was born with his face on the ground.
What's even funnier is that he has no neck, and his limbs are thick and short, and when he looks at it from a distance, it looks like there are five small meat balls on top of a big meat ball, which looks funny.
Behind them was a boy in his twenties, looking like an upstart, with a big mole on his chin, as ugly as a fat-headed fly.
Finally, there was an idler in his thirties, thin and like a monkey, with a disgusting smile on his face, squeezing out the folds of his face.
"A few guest officers, I'm really sorry, the upstairs of the hall is already full, why don't you come back tomorrow?"
The face of the official boots boy immediately turned unpleasant, and the big leper boy hurriedly stood up and pointed at Yang Shou and scolded: "You little guy is too eyeless, and you don't want to see what kind of character is coming, and you dare to refuse guests?"
This son doesn't care if your house is full or not, go to prepare a private room, go to call the surname Yang to come out and make a few good side dishes, if the grandfather who is waiting for you is satisfied, forget it, if you are not satisfied, carefully grandpa smashed your signboard! ”
Yang Shou saw that these people were not good, so he had to go to the counter to ask the king for instructions.
Wang Mingyuan saw the three people dressed in front of him, the two Song people looked like children of rich families, and there was also a strangely shaped widow, and he said in his heart that these people must not be ordinary diners, he didn't dare to offend, so he had to bow down and go out to apologize.
"A few officials, the shop is indeed full, you can't rush the guests to make room for a few people, right?
If a few officials are not in a hurry, it is better to wait outside the door for a while, and wait for the guests in the private room upstairs to leave, and there will be a place soon, how about it? ”
Coincidentally, the idler who stood at the end of the four people and nodded and was busy patting his ass on the back was none other than Hou San, the house slave of Wei Cai, the owner of the wealthy Wei Jiazheng store in Kaifeng, that is, the one who was smashed by Yang Huairen with a silver cake and a big bag on his head.
At that time, Hou San went to Wang Xialian's Wang family soup and cake shop to ask for accounts at the idea of Wei Lao'er, the main family, not for the more than ten dollars, but to know that the Wang family was in a miserable situation, and wanted to force Wang Xialian to pay off her debts and enter the Wei Mansion as his fifteenth concubine of Wei Lao'er.
Wei Lao'er thought that this was an easy thing to capture, but he didn't expect that Yang Huairen would be killed halfway at that time, which ruined his good deeds.
Hou San, a house slave, looked like a monkey, but he didn't have the cleverness of a monkey at all, and the thing was not done, and he was beaten.
He deserved to be beaten, but he broke the face of the Wei family in public, which made Wei Lao'er very unhappy, and he had long wanted to find this scholar named Ni Daye for revenge.
Hou San stood behind the widow and saw Wang Mingyuan from the **, and was also taken aback, how did Wang Mingyuan, who was lying in bed sick a few months ago, stand up, and became the shopkeeper of Suiyuan, a famous restaurant in Kaifeng City that has recently become famous.
He hurriedly scurried behind the big man and whispered something in his ear, and a sinister smile rose on the big man's face.
This big leper son is Wei Daiyan, the youngest son of Wei Lao'er, who has long known that his perverted father wants to accept the little sister of the Wang family's soup cake as a concubine.
Wei Lao'er has two sons, Wei Boss is now the shopkeeper of the Wei family's main store, and the second Wei Daiyan can only play as his brother's deputy.
But Wei Daiyan has felt that his brother's qualifications are mediocre since he was a child, and he has little ability, but he has nowhere to display his talents, and he has long wanted to find a way to replace him.
The business of the Wei family has been declining in recent years, and Wei Daiyan often arranges some of his eldest brother's mistakes in front of Wei Lao'er, and then makes friends with some famous eunuchs, so as to try his best to please his money-hungry and face-loving father.
Suiyuan beef noodles sold thirteen restaurants in Tokyo, his main store did not have such a good thing to make money, Wei Laoer has long been dissatisfied with his eldest son, and now Suiyuan Spring Wine is on the market, seeing that people are making a lot of money, he is even more red-eyed.
Wei Daiyan wanted to take this opportunity to come to Suiyuan to make a fuss, so as to earn the qualification to sell Suiyuanchun, and then with this merit, Wei Lao'er handed over the position of the shopkeeper of the Wei family's store to him.
He felt that Suiyuan was an emerging restaurant after all, and it could not be compared with his Wei family's century-old shop, so he came forward as the second son of the Wei family, first gave the shopkeeper of Suiyuan a dismissal, and then let two people with status come out to make peace, and the matter was naturally done.
These two noble people are also the gentlemen he makes friends with on weekdays, one is Gao Gonglun, the youngest son of the king of Pu'an County, and now he is the left master of ceremonies of Honglu Temple of Qipin, and the other is Junjiro Xiaoinu, the deputy envoy of the Wa State who is stationed in Honglu Temple.
Since Wang Mingyuan is the shopkeeper here, things will be easy to do, and he will be blackmailed with his daughter's affairs, and maybe even the recipe for beef noodles will make him fool.
"Shopkeeper Wang, you are so bold, dare to let a few grandfathers wait, you have lived enough, right? Don't say that you can't afford to mess with me Wei Daiyan, you can't afford to mess with the two nobles behind me, either you make room for the grandfathers to drive away a table of people, or I'll let you know how arrogant grandpa is! ”
As soon as Wang Mingyuan heard that he was Wei Daiyan, the son of the old man Wei who tried to bully his daughter, there was fire in his heart, plus he himself had also read books, so he had some backbone, the more Wei Daiyan was arrogant, the more he refused to back down.
He gritted his teeth, straightened his waist and said lightly: "This store is full and cannot be entertained, please go back." ”
