Chapter 30: Reopening

Yipinxiang and everyone have been full of energy for two days to recuperate, during this period, only Lu Gui came alone once, quietly sent something, and no one else came to the door, everyone was curious to guess what this restaurant was busy with, but it was difficult to inquire about it.

Yipinxiang finally opened the main gate in the early morning of the third day, and outside the door were the people on the third floor and the outer three floors to see the excitement, and the rich ones hired a small sedan chair for the female dependents to come out to see, and the whole street was like a temple fair. Candy sellers and snack sellers are all gathered on this street, which is even more lively.

The door was slowly opened by Fang Cannon, and only Ruan Mianmian came out.

She rarely wears flamboyant, but today she is dressed very beautifully, with a faint red pink depicted on her delicate little face with rouge, and the red ink dotted a playful tear mole at the end of her eyes, which is even more charming and moving, and the eye waves are breathtaking.

Su carried a somewhat heavy skirt, this skirt is made of light yarn, it should not be too heavy, but with a full seven layers of different gradients of red light yarn, the movement of the waves, like a budding tulip, but also added weight, but it does not look bulky.

Ruan Mianmian took a few steps forward, and when he reached a suitable distance from the audience, he said loudly: "Let you guests wait for a long time, our small shop should have opened early, but there were some accidents, so it was only now that I cleaned up and mediated, and Mianmian apologized to everyone first." ”

Ruan Mianmian said, bowed his head lightly and gave a salute. Seeing that it was Ruan Mianmian who came out and was so glorious, the waiting guests were already cheering, and suddenly broke out more enthusiastic.

In a wide open window on the second floor, the boss Mu Ruqing and Jiang Xinyue stood side by side, looking down at the cheering crowd below, looking at each other and smiling.

"It's really right to let Mianmian be a speaker of a pint of incense, you see, this is how many people like Mianmian." Mu Ruqing looked at Jiang Xinyue proudly.

"It's not that you insist on not letting me go, I don't believe in my qualifications, and the cheers below will be small." Jiang Xinyue turned her head with a smile.

"That's different, the opening of the small restaurant actually let the county lord come out to speak, the cheers are not small, I'm afraid that when the emperor asks people to beat my board, the sound of the board is not small." Mu Ruqing rubbed his back exaggeratedly, with a look of banter.

"Phew! Just you can talk! Jiang Xinyue feigned anger, stepped forward and stretched out her hand to twist Mu Ruqing's waist, who knew that she didn't stand firm in one step, and fell straight into Mu Ruqing's arms, Mu Ruqing hurriedly picked it up with her hand, and the two of them stuck together, both stunned.

Jiang Xinyue didn't care about wrestling after reacting, and hurriedly retreated, who knew that Mu Ruqing, who was pulling, also fell forward, and neither of them stood firmly, Mu Ruqing hurriedly reached out and fished over Jiang Xinyue, protected the back of her head, and then fell to the ground.

It doesn't matter, the corners of Mu Ruqing's mouth touched a softness, and when she looked at it, Jiang Xinyue's face was already flushed, and her eyes were about to burst into flames, Mu Ruqing hurriedly pressed her and said softly: "Don't move, otherwise you will bump into it." ”

Jiang Xinyue really stopped moving, but her whole body was tense, and she said in a low voice: "Hurry up!" ”

Mu Ruqing struggled for a while before he supported the ground with one hand, stood up from Jiang Xinyue's side, and stretched out his hand to pull Jiang Xinyue up, Jiang Xinyue didn't need her, she jumped up directly under the plate, took her own saber and turned around and hurriedly ran away.

Mu Ruqing looked at Jiang Xinyue's somewhat messy steps, recalled the slightly nervous gasps she left in her ears, and muttered, "If I marry you, how can I make the people in the palace nod." ”

After all, no one saw the embarrassing scene between Jiang Xinyue and Mu Ruqing on the second floor, but the crowd downstairs boiled again, causing Mu Ruqing to walk back to the window to see, it turned out that Ruan Mianmian had already taken out a rectangle wrapped in golden silk cloth with Fang Dacannon, and outsiders couldn't guess what was inside.

Ruan Mianmian smiled faintly, and was not in a hurry to uncover the silk cloth, but said: "Yipinxiang has the honor to enter the palace to serve the banquet, everyone must have heard of it, and the saint has praised it, and specially gave the saint his own handwritten handwriting 'Yipinxiang Restaurant' five words, the small shop has been blessed by the saint, and he is very happy, so he invited a skilled craftsman to frame a plaque and hang it on the door of a pint of incense, and pay tribute to it every day, so as to live up to the favor of God." ”

After that, Ruan Mianmian stretched out his hands and solemnly uncovered the silk cloth slowly, revealing the delicate plaque inside.

This plaque is Mu Ruqing spent a lot of money to ask the most famous craftsman to make, the engraved pattern is wrapped around, and a layer of gold powder is staggered, the five big characters written by the emperor are framed in the middle, and the lower right is the private seal of the saint, like a red soldering iron, burning the eyes of everyone present.

This word was sent by Lu Gui entrusted by the emperor that day, it is not easy to make a plaque within two days, and to be honest, the word on the saint is not as good as many people in the literary world, but who made him the person at the top of the pyramid of power, even if it is written no matter how mediocre it is, saying this name can make people feel awe, this plaque is hung up, more useful than any advertising, in the words of Mu Ruqing, the emperor is simply the top of this era.

Ruan Mianmian and Fang Cannon showed the plaque around, and after hearing bursts of admiration, they turned around and let Fang Cannon step on the ladder and hang the plaque on the door.

Then Ruan Mianmian cleared his throat and stepped aside: "From now on, Yipin Xiang Restaurant will resume business, please taste more, and after a quarter of an hour, Mianmian will start eating and broadcasting in the original position, if you don't have the customers who have grabbed the seat, you can come to Mianmian first, thank you." ”

After Ruan Mianmian said this, the guests poured in like a tidal wave, filling all the seats almost instantly.

The hall of Yipinxiang has also been renovated, leaving more space to put tables and chairs, and many single positions have been made against the wall, like a bar, which saves more space and can also make a guest who comes alone no longer embarrassed, which is still made by Mu Ruqing according to the modern decoration model.

The second floor is still a single room design, the palace ladies have already moved out, living in the county lord's mansion that has been partially renovated, the screen on the second floor has also been removed, replaced with a bamboo-like partition, there are rhombic windows and lattice windows everywhere, but also fresh and transparent, not stuffy at all. The tea bowls and saucers are more exquisite than the lobby downstairs, mainly for the reception of young ladies and sons who come to have a reunion dinner with their families or some statuses.

Downstairs, there are Ruan Mianmian and Fang Cannon, and upstairs is Liu Xin'er, who used to be the second lady of the Hou Mansion of Anyang and also mixed in the circle of these aristocratic younger generations, so naturally she knows how to deal with them better.

Today, not only are there many guests, but also a lot of servants from various prefectures have come, and they have taken the place of the master to order hot pot takeout, and the counter of Fang Cannon's cashier is crowded, and even the bookkeeping is hastily recorded.

But fortunately, Jiang Xinyue's palace maids have come back from vacation, they took off their palace clothes and put on uniform pink skirts, responsible for serving and cleaning the dishes, and receiving guests, which made Fang Dacang a lot easier, otherwise they would really be too busy.

Ruan Mianmian returned to the backyard and rested for a while, then walked out refreshed, sitting at the long table she was very familiar with, there was already a table of food in front of the maid, and the main food today was hot pot, and there was fruit cut by Uncle Hua. The guests were very familiar with her, so naturally they didn't need to introduce too much, so Ruan Mianmian picked up the chopsticks and ate them with a smile, seeing that the old man and the child also thoughtfully asked the maid to prepare a little fruit and tea for them to distribute, so as not to wait too long and be hungry.

After eating hot pot simply, Ruan Mianmian also picked up tea and chatted with the onlookers, so a guest asked: "Big sister, you went to the palace, but what did you see in the palace?" ”

Ruan Mianmian looked up at the second floor smartly, Mu Ruqing was really listening on the second floor, and when he saw him nodding to himself, he turned around and told everyone what he had seen and heard in the palace. From the gold and silver tables to the flowers and trees, Ruan Mianmian learned the tone of the old blind man next door to the orphanage, with an exaggerated expression, dancing with his hands, like a charlatan, Mu Ruqing was a little funny to watch, but the audience applauded, Ruan Mianmian said that he stopped drinking tea for a while, his face was flushed, as if he hadn't been so happy for a long time.

After a busy day, the people of Yipinxiang are all sore backs, there are really a lot of people, even Anyang Hou sent people out to say that they would take a little less takeaway, and there were not enough people to deliver it.

Mu Ruqing had no choice but to limit the number of takeaways, but the appointments were only three or four days later.

In the evening, after the guests left, Ruan Mianmian returned to the hall to help Fang Cannon clean up the account books and silver, and now there is an inexplicable tacit understanding between the two, there is no need to make a sound when doing things together, Fang Cannon looks at the inkstone, Ruan Mianmian picks up the ink strip and grinds the ink, Fang Cannon looks at the brush, Ruan Mianmian picks up a pen he usually uses and hands it over.

"Cannon, I have something to discuss with you." Ruan Mianmian held the ink strip in his hand at this time and grinded it on the inkstone one by one.

"Huh?" Fang Dacang was immersed in copying the account books, and suddenly listened to Ruan Mianmian's words and didn't react.

"I think last time we entered the palace to avoid King Qi's killer, after all, it was Lu Daxia who knew about this in advance and let us escape with our lives, we should always prepare some thanks, what do you say?"

"How can you ask me about this kind of thing?" When Fang Cannon heard that it was related to Lu Gui, the pen in his hand stopped, and the corners of his mouth flattened.

"You're really getting more and more stingy, I'm just talking to you because I'm afraid you're wrong, so you should ask me first." Ruan Mianmian pursed her lips and turned her head away from him.

Fang Dacang burst out laughing and stared at Ruan Mianmian's side face: "Mianmian, are we becoming more and more like people who have lived a dull life together for decades." ”

Ruan Mianmian's ears turned red: "I've only lived for a few years, just say decades, and I'm not ashamed!" Fang Dacang smiled, and the two glanced at each other, and there was indissoluble tenderness in their eyes.

Fang Dacang beckoned, and the two of them got together and didn't know what they were saying, so they told Mu Ruqing and Jiang Xinyue when they were eating in the evening that they wanted to invite Lu Gui to come to Yipinxiang for a meal, and they prepared a gift for him.
