Seeing that the guests were accumulating more and more, seeing that the street was about to be unable to put down, Mu Ruqing patted his head, walked quickly through the crowd to the opposite teahouse to negotiate for a while, and shouted at the door of Yipinxiang after coming out: "Guests, in the next Pinxiang boss Mu Ruqing, in order to thank the guests for their hospitality, I decided to invite the guests who have not yet lined up to drink tea and listen to music in the opposite teahouse. ”

As soon as Mu Ruqing's words came out, the crowd burst into cheers, and some of the guests who couldn't wait had already turned around and entered the teahouse, and some of the higher numbers were still waiting at the door, but the congestion was finally reduced a lot, and Mu Ruqing also breathed a sigh of relief.

Here, Mu Ruqing just maintained order, leaving Ruan Bai to communicate back and forth between Yipinxiang and the teahouse, if there were guests lined up, he would go to the teahouse to yell at the throat, and then lead the guests to the seats, and he didn't stop.

They were busy, Ruan Mianmian was not idle, the first wave of guests sat down and ordered, Ruan Mianmian hurriedly checked the dress from the room for the last time before going out. Today, because of Wang Xun, a chef who specializes in Jiangnan cuisine, her dress and makeup are all according to the Jiangnan girls, and she chose a pale yellow half-arm breast-length skirt with lily of the valley embroidered with lily of the valley on the cuffs and neckline, and put on a light white cloak, wearing light little boots on her feet, and a string of jade beads falling on it.

Ruan Mianmian's hair was coiled behind his head, oily and slippery, not even a trace of messy hair was seen, and a circle of pale golden lily of the valley hairpins were inserted along his hair, scattered with pearls the size of rice grains, and a set of lily of the valley pendants were also brought on his ears, which were delicate and cute, elegant and fresh. Coupled with the incense brought back from the south, this fragrance is even more fresh and pleasant, but it does not feel lonely and cold.

Ruan Mianmian moved the lotus step lightly, and as soon as he left the door of the room, he nodded left and right to the guests who were already sitting in the courtyard, and there was always a sweet smile on his face, although it was winter, it also made people feel warm in their hearts.

Seeing Ruan Mianmian, the guests present were even more happy, and the atmosphere immediately rose, which shows how famous Ruan Mianmian is in the capital. Ruan Mianmian's position is at the front of the hall, and the other tables in the entire hall are in a semicircle around this table, and every guest can see Ruan Mianmian's appearance.

And the front hall and the courtyard behind have been newly renovated since the last renovation, this wall usually looks like an ordinary wooden wall, and the mechanism inside can be big. Six long doors of the same size, carved with many complicated patterns, closed is a wall, all pushed open to make the courtyard and the hall interconnected, spacious and do not occupy space, at that time Mu Ruqing personally designed, Anyang Hou has seen the world is a good praise.

At this moment, all the doors were opened, and the guests in the courtyard could also see Ruan Mianmian's location, and there was no cover at all.

Ruan Mianmian gently lifted her skirt and sat down, and Liu Xin'er, who was originally taking care of her on the second floor, also came down to serve the dishes, and put together the dishes on Ruan Mianmian's table in the same way.

In the middle is a mandarin duck pot, with red oil spicy soup and seafood soup on both sides, separated by a thin iron plate in the middle, gurgling and steaming. In addition to the common hot pot ingredients on the table, there are many dishes that have never been seen before, which are all made by Wang Xun.

In the past, Wang Xun made a little rabbit bun with bean paste for Ruan Mianmian, as well as osmanthus glutinous rice cakes, mung bean macaroons, and fruit gummies made of soft and elastic sticky corn. The same is placed in front of Ruan Mianmian, delicate and small, and the dishes are as cute as the dishes. In addition, there is also a large bowl of slender rice noodles covered with a layer of red oil on the table, the soup is rich, and it is dotted with a few slices of pickled radish and green vegetables, which are the southern side dishes specially made by Chef Wang, rice noodles.

Although Ruan Mianmian didn't come out to eat for a long time, she didn't have stage fright at all, and she ate after a few words of greeting. Because she was Chef Wang's chef today, she didn't eat the hot pot first, but brought the bowl of rice noodles to her face, tasted the soup with a spoon first, and then picked up the chopsticks and began to eat in small bites.

The guests basically ordered Wang Xun's new dishes, and each table was given a fruit candy in a paper bag, which was full from morning to noon, and Ruan Mianmian even ate a whole portion of rice noodles and pastries, and brought all kinds of fruits to eat again. Although February in the capital is not so cold, fresh fruits are not common, and they are all brought back by Mu Ruqing and them from the south.

"Ladies and gentlemen, is the hospitality of Yipinxiang still thoughtful today? We have hung a complaint box on the wall outside the door, if there is anything inconsiderate and uncomfortable, or any suggestions, I hope that Yipinxiang will have any activities, everyone can feel free to write to us, and Mianmian will consider them one by one. Ruan Mianmian stood up and saw that the dishes on the table of the first wave of guests were almost finished.

"What's not thoughtful, the whole capital is the best to eat, the people are kind, and there is nothing bad!" A bearded uncle raised his hand and shouted, he seemed to like the fragrant food very much, he was a big man, and the table in front of him was full of pink and tender cute pastries, I really didn't expect the uncle to have a girlish side in his heart.

"yes, yes! Miss Ruan is beautiful and beautiful, smart and clever, if my daughter is born like this, it will be a blessing! A lady with a red flower on her head chimed in.

Ruan Mianmian nodded and smiled, and said with a smile: "Everyone's praise, Mianmian has no other strengths, it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, the real craftsmanship is the chefs in the kitchen, this Jiangnan cuisine is delicious, but thanks to that chef, we can eat it." ”

Then, she picked up a stack of tissue paper from the table and personally distributed it to everyone: "In order to promote the cooking skills of various places, and also to discover outstanding chef talents, we are going to launch an activity in Yipinxiang, and you can come to participate in it if you are interested. ”

These words were not Ruan Mianmian's own thoughts, but Mu Ruqing wrote the manuscript and polished it with his own method, striving to achieve the best publicity effect.

As soon as these words came out, the guests took the flyers to see, Mu Ruqing also took a stack and distributed it to the guests outside at the door of the store, the news immediately spread throughout the capital with the opening of Yipinxiang, the famous Yipinxiang is to open a branch that must be prosperous, if you really become the chef, not to mention the high fame, the silver is also like flowing water into the account, who can not be tempted?

For a while, adults and children, neighbors, but everyone who knows the cooking skills are going to report back and forth, it is even more lively than the New Year, those who know how to cook and learn to cook, all secretly prepare, to make the best dishes in the chef competition, will definitely emerge.

After a busy day, Ruan Mianmian weighed his meal and didn't eat much, occasionally put candy in his mouth, and talked and laughed with the guests.

In the evening, when the last of the guests who had eaten supper also left, Yipinxiang quieted down, set out a round table of food, and sat around to eat. Ruan Mianmian ate for a day, only she was not hungry, so she stood aside and pinched Liu Xin'er's shoulder, without the cannon, only Liu Xin'er was doing the work of passing vegetables, although Jiang Xinyue also helped a little, but the order outside was not easy to maintain, so she couldn't lift her arms when she was tired.

Uncle Hua and Wang Xun are also tired for a day, and no one can stand it all day, not to mention that Uncle Hua is old, he is tired, he only sits and eats vegetables with his head bored, and drinks several sips of wine in a row to relieve himself.

Wang Xun looked in good spirits, his eyes were shining, and the smile on the corners of his mouth never stopped. Although he is confident in his cooking skills, he will also be worried and nervous, for fear of living up to Ruan Mianmian's support, and also afraid that the people of Beijing will not be accustomed to his taste, but the hanging heart is now greatly put down.

Mu Ruqing saw it in his eyes, and also felt that it was really a very wise decision to recruit Wang Xun, no matter how delicious the hot pot was, it could not meet everyone's appetite, and only by absorbing more high-quality chefs could the business continue to be good for a long time.

"Everyone has worked hard today, thank you for Chef Wang's skills, you haven't seen the crowds in the back kitchen today, just waiting to order your Jiangnan cuisine to taste fresh." Mu Ruqing raised his glass and toasted with everyone.

"Wang Xun didn't dare to take credit, and he was very surprised in his heart, the folk customs in the capital are really different from other places, just this kind of open-mindedness that is willing to accept foreign things is enough to see the momentum of our country's great power." Wang Xun hurriedly filled a cup and drank it all.

"After this day, I also have an idea in my heart, after the end of the chef competition, I plan to buy the courtyard west of Yipinxiang, our yard, but also to live in people, it is really not enough, when the time comes, expand the current kitchen, and build a new kitchen, so that Chef Wang and Uncle Hua each use one, and then select a few potential newcomers from the competition to put in and cultivate, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and there should be enough people." Mu Ruqing calmly analyzed, and took chopsticks to clip some fish and meat for Jiang Xinyue: "Don't keep eating elbows, that's greasy, eat some fish." ”

Jiang Xinyue raised her eyebrows, and knocked his hand with chopsticks: "You like to pick me, now you have to take care of me when you eat, and you will pay it back in the future?" I see that you will eat more fish and meat to replenish your brain! ”

"Oh? Why do you say that? Mu Ruqing was not annoyed, he was already kind, and he liked Jiang Xinyue's straightforward temperament very much.

"You forgot, the east side of Yipinxiang is my Jingshu County Lord's Mansion, you just don't see such a big yard, you have to spend money to buy someone else's yard, do you think there is something buried in someone else's yard?"

Ruan Mianmian and Uncle Hua both understood this, and laughed: "Yes, isn't Sister Yue's county lord's mansion Mu Yuma's mansion?" ”
