Min Hu took Xu Lanting and Zhao Xingchen to eat in the east wing, Xu Lanyin, Qin and Min Jia ate in the upper room, and Qingfeng and others were accompanied by Ding Gu to eat in the outer courtyard.

After the meal, Min Hu thanked Qin and Xu Lanyin for their hospitality, and hurriedly took the people away.

Before leaving, he also said, "On the day of the opening of the teahouse, I can't find time to congratulate even in the city, I will let Lao Ji and Uncle Hao go, and I will also talk to Lord Qin and Lord Min, and let them send their family members and staff to congratulate." ”

Xu Lanyin expressed her gratitude. With the family members and masters of these dignitaries to congratulate, it is clear that these people are the umbrella of the teahouse.

As soon as he left, Zhao Xingchen said, "Uncle Min is so good to eat, I'm afraid that he will have a sagging stomach when he eats." ”

This is Xu Lan's words because of love, and he gave it to Minhu as it is.

Xu Lanting smiled again, "Brother Min said that the pots made by our family are better than those in the restaurant, especially the meat rolls, which are thin and easy to clip, and he will eat them next time he comes." ”

I heard that my father likes to eat Aunt Xu's mutton pot so much, and Min Jia is very proud as if he likes his own things.

Seeing her little expression, both Qin and Xu Lanyin laughed. In the eyes of this child, the Xu family is more like her home than the Min family.

There are still more meat and vegetables left, and in the evening, Xu Lanyin asked people to go to Wang's house to invite Wang Sanni and Wang Jincai to eat hot pot at home.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the Li family returned to the provincial capital, and brought Ding Xiaoran, as well as some big houses and peanuts and bean sprouts sent by Xu Zhiniang.

Since the fifth day of the new year, Xu Lanyin and Wang Sanni went to the teahouse to prepare for the opening. Afraid that the children would make trouble, he didn't take them with him, and promised to go back and bring them a lot of delicious food.

Ask someone to copy the advertising list, focusing on new types of chess, including Go, chess, Western chess, and military chess suitable for adults, checkers and flying chess suitable for children, and chess students who accompany and teach chess. There are not only the top teas in the teahouse, but also the beauty tea prepared by the teahouse that is suitable for women to drink. Three days before the opening, the tea is 7% off, and the new chess types of chess, military chess, and checkers are taught for free......

A month later, on February 20, the teahouse will hold monthly tournaments for chess, military chess, and checkers, and a year later there will be annual tournaments with exquisite gifts.

Checkers have a limited age limit and are contestants under the age of ten. This clause is specific to Min Jia in Xu Lanyin, at least Min Jia should be able to win the first place in the monthly competition. Xu Lanting also plays checkers, but he is the younger brother of the owner and is not eligible to participate. Min Jia heard that there was such a good thing, and practiced checkers at home every day, thinking of becoming the champion of checkers.

Hundreds of copies of the leaflets were copied and posted in conspicuous places in Ningzhou Mansion.

Ten membership cards were also made, one for Min Hu, one for Qin Hongyu, and one for Min Nan, and asked the subordinates to send them to their house. Hu Wan, Xu Lanyin personally went to the department store to hand it over to me. He also asked Steward Hao to give a chess addict Zhou Shu, the vice president of Ningzhou Mansion Academy, and invited him not to drink tea, but to let him study a new type of chess.

The remaining five will see who to give them to.

Many beautiful flower baskets and lanterns were also ordered. I invited a musician who played the guzheng and a musician who played the flute, and they changed jobs.

On the eleventh day of the first month, the Yamen was sealed, and a major event spread in Ningzhou Mansion. That is, the former prefect of Ningzhou Prefecture was transferred to another place as an official, and Qin Che, the former governor of the same prefecture, was promoted to prefect.

Qin Che really ascended, and Xu Lanyin was overjoyed. She was not only happy because Qin Che was promoted, but Qin Che directly became the prefect of the fourth grade, and she would no longer be the deputy envoy of the prosecutor. The little wings completely changed Qin Che's fate. The greater his officials, the harder their own reliance will be in the future.

She bought a lot of food and went home to celebrate.

When she quietly told the Qin family about this, the Qin family couldn't help but be overjoyed, and silently blessed her cousin.

On the 15th day of the first lunar month, several children want to go to the street to watch the lantern festival. Qin and Xu Lanyin were unwilling, thinking about Chai Zixiao being kidnapped by someone when he saw a monkey, where did he dare to let these three treasures go.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Xu Lan got up early in the morning, dressed up well, and painted light makeup. After eating with the Qin family, he took Zhangqi and Ding Xiaoran to the teahouse in a mule cart. The mule cart turned a corner and took Wang Sanni, who was standing at the mouth of the alley.

Wang Sanni also dressed up, a very beautiful little girl.

Before dawn when I came to Xinyun Teahouse, the shopkeeper Wu and the junior two, chess students, cooks, husbands, handymen, and music girls all came, of which there were six female juniors, a total of forty people.

Xu Lanyin asked Wang Sanni to distribute the "work clothes" to them and change them into each other.

Xu Lan is most disgusted with the long hair, wide sleeves, and big trousers in restaurants and teahouses in this era, and she looks sloppy when she gets in the way. Therefore, except for the senior employees, chess students, and music girls, all the staff in the tea house wore hats and bandanas to cover their hair, and they all wore sleeves and aprons.

The male children uniformly wear a brown boat-shaped hat, a long brown apron, and brown sleeves. The second female wears a green triangular headscarf, a green and white ruffled short apron, and a green ruffled short-sleeved cover.

Including Ding Xiaoran, there are a total of ten chess students. They were between thirteen and sixteen years old, and they were all very handsome, wearing bamboo green robes, dark green belts, and small black round hats.

The three senior employees of Shopkeeper Wu, Deputy Shopkeeper Wang, and He Tent Room wore beautiful blue casual clothes, which were also uniformly made by the teahouse.

The overalls are beautiful, offbeat, concise, and capable, and you can see what they do at a glance. Only the music girls did not issue work clothes, they dressed themselves up beautifully, and the clothes were paid for tea and tea.

In the face of so many employees, after Xu Lanyin made a short speech, Shopkeeper Wu and Wang Sanni also made a short speech. Xu Lanyin was impressed by Wang Sanni again, she was a real fifteen-year-old local girl, although her face was red and her voice was a little trembling, she didn't make a mistake, and she was very supervisory.

Everything is ready, and the hour is over. Everyone in the teahouse performed their duties, Xiao Er put out the flower baskets, and the lanterns were hung.

The advertisement of the teahouse played well, and some people came to the teahouse one after another at the beginning of the day.

The first guests to come were Hu Wan and his wife Xu, as well as Xu's mother's three sons, two grandmothers, two young ladies, and two friends, and Xu's belly was already a little big.

They asked for a third-floor cherry house and a second-floor hut, and ordered another chess student. Originally, I wanted to order two flower houses on the third floor, but there were too many people today, and Shopkeeper Wu politely declined.

followed by Min Shan, Shen and Min Nan, as well as Min Rong, the second master of Min. They asked for a Tang house on the third floor.

After a group of unknown guests, Qin Ru, Qin Hongyu, Zhu Zhuang, and the Zhu family, a son and two young ladies. Zhu Zhuang also boldly wanted to buy the rest of the flower houses on the third floor, but was stopped by Qin Ru, and only needed a Dan house on the third floor.

The three masters of the two Min Mansion and the Qin Mansion came together, and they asked for the Xuan House on the second floor.

There are a total of eight flower houses on the third floor, and Xu Lanyin left one behind, which is specially reserved for chess addict Zhou Shu.
