Chunnier beckoned everyone to drink a few bowls of mung bean soup, but Fang Jie and Pu Cao didn't come back. She was afraid that everyone would be suspicious, so she called Shanzi and Peach Blossom, who were playing on the ground, and said with a smile, "Your sister-in-law, that money fan, may have discussed the business with Fang Gongzi and forgot the time." You go and tell her to come back quickly, and it's time to make lunch at home. ”

Shanzi and Peach Blossom responded, and ran over with half-eaten snacks in their hands. Fang Jie and Pu Cao heard the crisp shouts of the two children, and hurriedly got up to pick up their clothes and other things, and saw that there was nothing wrong with each other before turning out. He picked up two children, and one led one back to the ground.

In the middle of the while, the vegetable field had already been watered, except for Dong Si who stayed behind to guard, everyone got into the carriage and walked back to the village with a smile. On the way, several old men from the village gathered together, gossiping and watching over the twenty or so lambs, and enclosing them to graze only in the ditch by the roadside, and not to run to the fields to cause trouble.

Most of the wasteland at the head of the village was also reclaimed, sprinkled with leek seeds, and several neighbors nearby took turns to take care of the leek seedlings at this time, which looked like a green plush blanket from a distance, which was very pleasing to the eye.

There was a future student who couldn't bear it and asked Pucao in a loud voice, "Sister-in-law Pucao, these sheep raised by everyone and these leeks planted by everyone can really be sold in the autumn?" ”

"Of course, and the selling price is not low." Pu Cao's mouth was stuffed with half a piece of walnut cake by peach blossoms, and he responded vaguely.

The latter seemed to be a little unconvinced, smashed his mouth and said, "Yesterday, my father was idle for a while, and counted the sheep in the village, and there were a hundred of them together. If it is sold to the city in autumn, I am afraid that the price can only fall but not the price, right? ”

Liu Housheng sat down with the posterior who was talking, raised his hand and knocked him with a smile, "You kid, Pucao is the god of wealth in our village, she said that if she can make money, she will definitely not be able to lose it." ”

Pu Cao patted the dim sum scum on his hand and smiled, "I'm not the God of Wealth, I have to thank Fang Gongzi for this matter, and the Fang family is going to open a restaurant in the city, specializing in barbecue mutton." It is said that the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, he lives in our village, and naturally the villagers in the village should be the first to follow him. ”

"Really? Fang Gongzi is going to open a new restaurant again? Everyone looked at Fang Jie and asked.

Fang Jie nodded and smiled, "Exactly, everyone can rest assured that you can raise sheep, I will collect as much as I have in the restaurant." ”

Everyone was naturally even more happy when they got this reassurance, and they asked when they would open and invite them to drink.

After laughing all the way, they soon arrived in the village, and the descendants jumped out of the carriage and went back to their homes to report the good news. The rest of the Zhang and Liu Fang families, who were close to each other, got together for lunch.

The days slipped by in peace and busyness, and on this day, the shopkeeper Luo came to pick up the vegetables, and by the way, he reported that the people sent to the western Xinjiang had returned, and sent a small box of seeds. Pu Cao pinched a few seeds that looked like wheat grains, threw them into his mouth and chewed them, and it did taste like cumin in his previous life, so he happily rode into the city with Fang Jie on the second day.

Fuguilou has now ushered in a new owner, and naturally it will have to be remodeled. Half a month ago, a group of craftsmen moved in, and according to Fang Jie's instructions, they smashed the wall and dug pits, and they were very busy.

On that day, the old shopkeeper Chen and his family, who moved back from Kyoto, were also three generations of old and young. Chen He ran errands to buy, and his father Chen Bin supervised the craftsmen, and even the old shopkeeper Chen also walked around from time to time with a beast-headed cane, for fear that such a craftsman would be lazy and delay his young master's new business.

Pu Cao and Fang Jie got out of the car, Dongzi volunteered to take Shanzi and Peach Blossom to play on the street, and the two of them were free to explore upstairs and downstairs, in the front yard and backyard.

Old Shopkeeper Chen saw that Pu Cao was dressed normally at first, and he didn't take her too seriously, he just thought that it was the cook who the young master had found somewhere. Later, when Fang Jie poured tea for Pucao with his own hands, whenever she proposed that there was anything that needed to be disposed of and modified, the old man muttered in his heart.

The people of the capital are old and fine, although this old man is suspicious, his face is silent, and after being busy for most of the day, he is already sure that the relationship between his young master and this woman is extraordinary. The old man's face was as black as ink, and he tried his best to endure his reluctance to ask, thinking of saving some face for his master, and asking again in private.

When I didn't want to have lunch, Baiyunju on the opposite side sent a table of banquets, and everyone sat down to eat and gossip. The fat cook personally brought a bowl of mushroom soup to Pu Cao, and invited her to taste it with a smile.

Fang Jie stretched out his hand and was about to put the soup into a small bowl for Pucao, but the old shopkeeper Chen couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped it on the table with one hand and scolded the fat cook, "You fat man is so unreasonable, as the cook of Baiyunju, how can you not honor the master first when you make soup with your own hands?" There are really no rules, haven't you learned etiquette since you were a child? ”

The fat cook was suddenly scolded, and he was a little confused, so he opened his mouth and said, "I used to make new dishes, and I always asked Zhang Dongjia to taste them first!" ”

"It was before, and now it is now! Don't you know who is the right master, something without rules! ”

How could Fang Jie not guess the old man's thoughts, he glanced at Pu Cao, and saw that her face was pale and she was not so annoyed, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, you are wrong to blame the fat cook." Speaking of which, he is also half of Pucao's apprentice, and it has become a habit to make new dishes for the master to taste first, but he has no intention of snubbing me as the owner. ”

The fat cook smiled and hurriedly said, "That's it, the little heart has always been the master of the Zhang family, thinking that if the master praises the deliciousness, wouldn't it be better to honor the owner." ”

"Alright, let's go back and get busy." Fang Jie waved his hand, and the fat cook looked like a prisoner who had been granted amnesty, and immediately ran away without a shadow.

Old Shopkeeper Chen still didn't speak with a calm face, Pu Cao glanced at the room and there were no outsiders, so he chuckled and turned his head to look at Fang Jie, and said, "Although our cooperative business must be kept secret, we can't even hide it from the big shopkeeper of this restaurant." ”

Fang Jie nodded knowingly, and then said with a smile to the ancestors and grandchildren of the Chen family, "Uncle Chen doesn't know the inside story, maybe there is some misunderstanding. Speaking of which, this restaurant is a partnership between me and Pucao, and it is not unique to our family. I only went out of this shop, in which the layout of all places and all the food recipes sold were provided by Pucao, and she accounted for 40% of the profits in the future, I accounted for 40%, and the remaining 20% were distributed to Chen Bo's family to make hard-earned money. ”

"No! This is absolutely unacceptable! Old Man Chen waved his hand and shook his head anxiously, he was originally worried that Fang Jie would be fascinated by Pucao, and even lose his hard-earned family business because of it. At this time, he was a little relieved to learn that Pu Cao had used a secret recipe to join the gang, and when he heard that Fang Jie wanted to share 20% of their family's profits, he refused to accept it.

"Chen He takes care of the restaurant for the young master and earns a salary, how can he still get two percent more profits for nothing? Don't mention this again! ”

Fang Jie smiled and poured a glass of wine for the old man, and persuaded, "I know that Uncle Chen treats me like his own nephew, but you have traveled thousands of miles to return to the Northland with me, and the shops in Kyoto have changed hands. If I don't find a pension deal for Uncle Chen, then how will I raise my head and behave in the future. If Uncle Chen refuses to resign, he doesn't want Chen He to take care of this restaurant for me. If this restaurant is not opened, there is no trustworthy shopkeeper, and those secret recipes for eating will fall into the hands of others sooner or later. ”

"This..."The old man frowned and hesitated, Pu Cao already raised his glass and smiled, "Uncle Chen, don't shirk anymore, let's let the three of us work together to open the most prosperous restaurant in Cuiluan City in the future." ”

Fang Jie also raised his glass and said with a smile, "If it is because Uncle Chen refuses to join, this restaurant will give up halfway, I am afraid that the diners in Cuiluan City will hate Uncle Chen." ”

Chen Bin and Chen He's father and son all laughed when they heard it, and they also spoke out to help persuade them. Old Man Chen couldn't, so he had to raise his glass and answer, "Okay, our Chen family has collected these two percent of the profits." In the future, Chen He will move to the restaurant to live, and if there is a little mistake in the business, the two percent of the profit will be returned to the young master. ”

Fang Jie naturally wouldn't agree, but he didn't argue anymore, everyone drank the wine in a glass together, and discussed the name and layout of the restaurant again.

Since you want to open a barbecue workshop, the food is not a light and delicate thing, and the layout of the natural restaurant should be based on the atmosphere. The arrangement of the tables and chairs and the furnishings everywhere, everyone had no objections, and it was quickly decided.

But when it comes to the name of the restaurant, Pu Cao proposed to take the word "Xiyangyang". Uncle Chen frowned and disagreed, "This name is not atmospheric, and it is not elegant, and it may be said to attract the people of the whole city to laugh and talk." ”

Pu Cao's favorite roast whole sheep workshop in her previous life is called this name, for her this is a sustenance and a nostalgia, so she can't care about the rest, insist on her own opinion, "This new restaurant sells roast sheep in the summer, and I want to add a new way to eat in the winter, which is also based on mutton." If the name is joyful, it not only indicates the main food of our restaurant, but also easy to remember and spread, which is really the best of both worlds. ”

Old Shopkeeper Chen wanted to refute, but Chen He had already secretly pulled his sleeve. Old Shopkeeper Chen glanced at his own young master who was smiling gently, sighed in his heart, and stopped insisting.

When the sun was half-set, Pu Cao took the two children back to the village, while Fang Jie stayed behind to go to the banquet set by the owners of the other restaurants. These days, because Fang Jie divided most of their green vegetables, each business has returned to its previous state. Although his peers are enemies, Fang Jie acted so righteously and generously, and gradually won their sincere admiration. Every half month and January, several people gather together to drink and gossip, and they are much closer than ever.

On the second day, Chen He followed Pucao's instructions and came back with a plaque with a vermilion background and lacquered gold characters. The two young men stood on the ladder, hung the plaque, and at the end covered it with a piece of red silk.

I don't know if the young man who prepared the red silk was negligent, or the steward who bought the silk was greedy for a small profit, and the red silk was extremely thin. Sharp-eyed passers-by only need to stand below and take a closer look to see the name engraved on the plaque.

So in less than a day, the entire Cuiluan City was rumored to have opened, and Fang Dong's family in Baiyunju opened a new restaurant, the name is extremely straightforward and strange, and it is actually called Xiyangyang.

(Haha, praise me, I actually made another one!) It's decided, immediately eliminate the melon in the refrigerator, and reward me for my hungry and cramping stomach. ）
