On this day, because of a light rain last night, all the roofs and streets in Cuiluan City were washed clean. Less than half an hour after the sun jumped up the mountain, the traces of water that remained everywhere were evaporated, and the whole city was bright with gold.

There are several teahouses near the commercial street, and there are many tea customers sitting before half of noon, and the young men are not shouting loudly, running upstairs and downstairs to deliver tea. It stands to reason that the business is so prosperous that the shopkeeper should be happy. It's a pity that he looked at a two-story restaurant not far away at this time, with a look of envy and jealousy, and whispered from time to time to complain, "This Fang family really doesn't let people live, and when they get up early, they roast the streets full of meat, which makes half of the dim sum in our building less sold." ”

When the diner with the sharp ears heard this, he laughed and quipped, "The old shopkeeper has taken advantage of it and sold it well, these days, everyone is worried about the food in the new restaurant of the Fang family, and often comes to you to sit here." You've made a lot of money, but don't be dissatisfied. The new restaurant opened today, and we should save more stomach to try it. ”

The old shopkeeper was exposed to the greedy old bottom, his face was slightly red, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "I also said a few words casually, the Fang family's restaurant has opened, and this street is much more lively, and everyone is stained with light, I can't be happy yet, how can I complain?" ”

Everyone wanted to say anything more, but they didn't want to see a few young men in new clothes and pants running out of the new restaurant, this one moved the ladder, the other climbed up, and quickly tied a long red firecracker to the high eaves. Everyone guessed that this was an auspicious time, and the restaurant was about to open, so they threw down the tea money and gathered over.

The old shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, and finally caught two young men to watch the store, and then went out to join in the fun. The two "unlucky" young men had to stand in front of the door with a bitter face, looking at it with their feet crossed and their necks stretched.

Less than half an hour after the firecrackers were hung up, guests came to the door with invitations. Fang Jie wore a royal blue gold cloud flower robe, wearing a red gold crown, and his whole body was luxurious and not luxurious. Lined with his already handsome and extraordinary face, the smile at the corner of his mouth that seems to never fade away, and the placket of his clothes fluttering in the wind during the walk, suddenly making people feel that this beautiful son is like an immortal descended from the sky. Everyone who saw it secretly had a good feeling in their hearts, how could there be the slightest blasphemy.

Fang Jie first saluted everyone, and then went down the steps to greet the few friends who arrived first, and sent them in the door while laughing, and ushered in many fellow restaurant owners, so naturally they couldn't avoid a pleasant greeting. In the end, when Sun Fuyin arrived in a sedan chair with four people and a group of staff members in the palace, the surrounding spectators all exhaled in shock.

Originally, although everyone in this Cuiluan City knew that Fang Jie was related to the Sun family, Sun Mansion Yin had never publicly sheltered Fang Jie's shop industry in order to clear his name. Today's high-profile appearance at the opening of the new restaurant is really unexpected by everyone.

Fang Jie naturally knew that this was Sun Fu Yin's favor in returning his introduction to the Six Kings and returning Miss Sun, so he generously stepped forward to give the junior salute and called him uncle.

Sun Fu Yin was extremely satisfied with him acting like this, after all, his official position was there, if any imperial historian looked at him unpleasantly and accused him of collusion between officials and businessmen, it would be extremely troublesome. Now, Fang Jie has given up his official title and only called his uncle, which is a private matter in the family. The nephew opened a restaurant, and the uncle came to congratulate him, and no one could say anything wrong.

When the emperor arrived, he was naturally very popular, whether it was the crowd of people watching the excitement in front of the door, or the dozen or so people who had already entered the door and sat down, they all hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to greet them.

Seeing that Sun Fu Yin was greeted by the stars like a moon, Chen He trotted forward and whispered that the auspicious time had arrived, and Fang Jie asked the kitchen to be ready, so he smiled and helped up the old shopkeeper Chen with an excited face, and walked under the plaque together with the Luo shopkeeper of Baiyunju. The young man covered his ears with one hand and held incense in the other, and lit the string of red firecrackers.

In the crackling sound, the confetti flew like rain, and the four of them worked together to tear off the red silk on the plaque, and the three gold lacquer characters of "Joyful Yangyang" immediately came into the eyes of everyone.

The boys cheered and cheered, and everyone clapped their hands to congratulate. Fang Jie smiled and thanked everyone, and when the noise calmed down a little, he said with a smile, "The shop opened today, thank you for your support!" ”

The shopkeeper who was familiar with him on weekdays shouted, "If Fang Gongzi's restaurant is a small shop, then our shop is a kennel." ”

"That's it, don't be modest, Fang Gongzi, hurry up and invite everyone to try the new food. The smell of meat on the street, the worms in my stomach are rebelling. ”

Everyone laughed, Fang Jie motioned for Chen He to take two steps forward, and said with a smile, "When it opens today, naturally I want to invite everyone to taste something fresh." This is the shopkeeper of our restaurant, and I hope you will take care of it in the future. ”

"That's natural, they are all begging for business on the same street, and it is right to take care of each other." The sedan chair is carried by everyone, and everyone looks up and doesn't look down on weekdays, so naturally everyone is willing to send a verbal favor, as for how to get along and act in the future, that's another story.

Fang Jie naturally understood this truth, and didn't say anything more, stretched out his hand and made a gesture to invite in, and said with a smile, "Then Fang Mou has thanked everyone in advance, the back kitchen has prepared good wine and meat, everyone can come in and taste fresh." ”

"Haha, just wait for Fang Gongzi's words." Everyone laughed and thanked Fang Jie one after another, and finally poured into the restaurant and grabbed all the seats.

In the backyard stove room, the fat cook, with his big guys and helpers, was busy putting the prepared refreshing cold dishes on the plate. Most of the whole sheep on the shelves of the three carbon pits have been roasted, and Mu Han is running in front of the three roast sheep, brushing the sauce from time to time, and calling the young man to help turn the sheep's body.

There were also iron boxes lined up in the half of the shed next to them, and the six young men were shaking a pu fan with one hand to blow the red charcoal fire, flipping the meat skewers with the other, and sprinkling some spice powder from time to time, and the smell of meat wafted out of the wind.

Many diners were eagerly waiting for the dish to be served while drinking tea, but after a while, the joyful signature Western Xinjiang mutton skewers were served. Everyone picked up a bunch and took it in their hands to look at it carefully, only to see that six or seven pieces of mutton the size of grape grains were skewered on the thin iron chisel, and after charcoal roasting, the fat was half-melted, but the lean meat was half-burned, and the two compartments were mixed together, and on top were sprinkled fine and dense sesame seeds, chili flour, fine salt, and an unknown grass minced grain. It's really golden butter and bright, and it's mouth-watering when you look at it.

There is a person who is anxious to take half of the string into his mouth, hot and inhaled at the same time and feel that the mouth is full of spicy and salty fragrance, not greasy and tender, it is really different from the fine dishes that are eaten on weekdays, absolutely exotic flavor.

"Hmm, it's delicious, it's delicious!"

"That's it, I didn't expect the lamb to be so brilliant."

"What's in this seasoning, it tastes really special."

Listening to everyone's praise, the old shopkeeper Chen and the others were secretly relieved, and the smile on their faces was even brighter. Whatever you eat, you don't think it's good, and it's really good to capture the hearts of diners.

Eating like this downstairs, the aroma wafted to the top, and the distinguished guests in the three private rooms couldn't sit still, a young scholar shook his fan and asked Fang Jie, who had just entered the door, "Brother Boya, what delicious food have you prepared to entertain us, should you learn to be stingy and treat guests with the fragrance of meat?" ”

Miserly Zhang is a well-known miser in the city, and he is reluctant to hold a banquet when a guest comes to his house. So he took the guests to sit under the wall of his own courtyard, and drank porridge and ate pickles with the smell of meat wafting from the stove next door. The guests were angry and naturally spread the news of this, and it was mentioned as a joke by the people of all ages for many years.

Everyone laughed and echoed the jokes, and before Fang Jie could answer, they heard bursts of exclamations downstairs. Soon a row of six young men in the front and back, two of them carried a rectangular barbed wire fence and pedaled upstairs.

The barbed wire mesh is not finely woven, and there is a naked sheep less than two feet long fixed in the middle, which is already roasted and golden at this time, and occasionally there is grease that cannot withstand the trembling, gently dripping on the floor, splashing a burst of burnt incense, provoking a group of government officials, businessmen, and talents who hold their own identities to endure it so that they do not swallow saliva desperately.

Fang Jie was not verbose, and directly ordered the young men to divide the mutton with knives and send it to everyone's plates piece by piece. Naturally, as soon as the crispy and tender mutton was eaten, it was immediately praised by everyone, and the straight road was worth it today.

In the lobby downstairs, everyone saw the golden roast sheep carried upstairs, and then looked at the big skewer of mutton in their hands, and felt that the taste was three points worse, and they didn't know who took the lead, and they shouted to buy a roast sheep to taste.

Chen He had already prepared, bowed and talked to everyone about the rules of "three sheep open Thailand", and finally said, "Today's three golden roast sheep are already entertaining distinguished guests, and they really can't tell the difference." If you want to try it, you can pre-order tomorrow's three. ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they naturally immediately raised their voices and scrambled for it, completely ignoring the high price of eighteen taels and eight dollars of silver for the roast sheep. For a while, the restaurant was bustling with activity, which made a group of busy young men and cooks laugh proudly and happily.

When it was getting dark at night, Pu Cao received the news sent back by Dongzi, and naturally smiled. She immediately commanded the peach blossoms to burn the fire, Chunni to cut vegetables, and then personally stir-fried four hot dishes and two cold dishes on tiptoe, Liu Housheng helped to go to Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang, together with Dongzi, everyone sat around to celebrate the opening of the restaurant, and business was booming.

Everyone is familiar with each other on weekdays, and they are not polite, talking and laughing, eating and drinking, which is very cheerful. In the end, Liu Housheng, Uncle Jiang, and Dongzi were half drunk, and walked to the entrance of the village to gossip with the villagers. Aunt Jiang helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and massaged Pucao's ankle and reapplied the medicine, and rarely smiled to ensure that she would not delay when she went to Li's house the day after tomorrow.

Pu Cao liked this taciturn but very capable old lady very much, thanked her with a smile, and dragged her to gossip for a long time before sending her out.
