Solving the biggest problem of "how to have fun with the people in Baizhi County", Boss Wang's frowning brows suddenly became much more relaxed, and he chatted with Ye Feng about how to arrange the banquet scene and dishes.

Hearing him say that he was all the same, Ye Feng suddenly felt very bored. Even though this banquet will be different because of the participation of all the celebrities in Shirachi Prefecture and the city, it is nothing more than that.

Thinking of the buffet in the future, Ye Feng tried to ask, "Did Boss Wang think about a huge change?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Da and Boss Wang were a little surprised. It's all like this, it's unprecedented, isn't it a huge change? So what kind of changes do you have to make it huge here in Ye Feng?

Boss Wang said, "Brother Ye might as well talk about it." ”

After a little consideration of the language, Ye Feng said: "If it is still like in the past, one table at a time, it is inevitable that it will not be lively enough, and it will be a big waste. For example, there are often many dishes left over on the tables of wives, ladies, and officials. And these people like the first floor often don't have enough to eat. However, the people on the first floor didn't dare to come up and get the food. ”

Hearing this, Zhao said: "That's true, generally speaking, there will be a lot left on the table of ladies and ladies, and many dishes haven't even moved." However, the diners on the first floor will eat almost cleanly, and there is still some unfinished food. ”

He sensitively caught Ye Feng and seemed to want to solve this problem.

It's just that this problem seems to be impossible to solve, because people from different walks of life are difficult to contact, let alone eat together. Neither etiquette nor rules are allowed.

Ye Feng said, "You see if this will work." On the first floor, we can make all the most popular dishes in the shop, serve them in clay pots, and put them on the table one by one. People can pick up whatever they like to eat, and there is no limit to how much they want. However, no matter how much you eat, you will receive two taels of silver. Of course, the question of quantity needs to be calculated according to the invitation, and more is not always better. If you are afraid that someone will eat too much, you can also make more vegetarian vegetables and fatty meat. ”

"Just make more of the cheaper?"

"Yes. Of course, cheap is cheap, but the taste should not be bad, and it should be made to look good and pleasing to the eye. Like some expensive dishes, you can also strictly follow the number of people, one spoonful per person, or one per person. As for the rest, I ate it at will. ”

I have to say that this concept is really shocking to Boss Wang and Zhao Da. At first glance, it hurts to put the dish there and eat it casually. But if you think about it carefully, everyone charges two taels of silver, and almost all the dishes on the first floor are cheap, but the taste is slightly better than making them at home.

In this way, not everyone can eat enough food for two taels of silver. And the number of expensive dishes is certain, limited, and there is no need to worry about exceeding the cost.

Boss Wang didn't speak for a long time, obviously considering the feasibility of this proposal. Instead, Zhao Daxian asked, "What about the second and third floors?" ”

Ye Feng just said the first floor, obviously, the second floor and the third floor are different.

"The second and third floors are simpler and will only earn more than the first floor. So, let's talk about the second floor first, here, we are going to entertain Bai Zhi County and a group of officials, so wine and tea must be indispensable, right? The dishes, just make something more precious and rare than the first floor, but the amount can't be much, they must be chatting and drinking at that time, and they can't eat much. ”

"Well, they love to talk."

"So, they don't lack oil and water in their stomachs, so they naturally like delicate food. Fried acacia and boiled longevity fruit are both to be put on top. As for the third floor, it is mainly based on delicate side dishes and pastries, and some boiled longevity fruits are also put on it. ”

"Well, that sounds good. It's just that, how to collect this money? ”

"The first floor can still receive two taels, but the second and third floors are definitely not good. In this way, one person on the second floor will receive fifteen taels of silver, and the wine will be counted separately. On the third floor, one person receives ten taels of silver, which is about the same. ”

As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, he saw that Boss Wang and Zhao Da were already stupid.

Without him, this banquet was originally to open up the popularity of Liuyunxuan, whether it was the first floor or the second or third floor, Boss Wang and Zhao Da never thought of collecting cash. In other words, he wanted to expand his popularity by tasting it for free for a day.

However, Ye Feng's idea was obviously different.

After half a ring, Boss Wang said: "You mean to say that we not only have to collect silver, but also those officials' silver?" How do we collect ......?"

"yes, don't you have to pay for food? You know, you bought those immortal fruits for three thousand taels of silver. Ye Fengqi said, "Could it be that the officials never give silver when they come to eat on weekdays?" ”

This time it was Ye Feng's turn to be surprised.

If this is the case, the proposal is too premature to be realized.

Hearing this, Boss Wang said: "That's not it, basically you have to give it." It's just that they all settle the bill later, and they don't have the kind of food you said before they receive money from others without eating. And you collect too much, fifteen taels per person, how can they eat so much? ”

It turned out to be struggling with this!

Ye Feng said, "Hey, it's not much!" So start writing invitations today, and send people to the houses to ask for them. When you send a post, you make the rules clear, and I think many people will pay you the money in advance. ”

was considering the feasibility of this proposal, and listened to Ye Feng continue: "Forget it, it's better like this, you make three wooden boxes in advance, and leave a hole at the top." Tomorrow, the three wooden boxes were placed at the entrance of each floor, and the amount of silver to be paid was written on them. On the first floor, Feng Er guarded it, supervising the people who entered the door to hand over the silver. As for the second and third floors, there is no need to send someone to watch them, let those officials and ladies consciously throw them in. ”

"Yes, this method is good, if you want to come in front of everyone, they are not good at paying their debts. Haha, I'm afraid that one will be more positive than the other. ”

"I have another idea, they will not pay the bill. In this way, on the day of the banquet, you announced in public that half of the income from the Liuyunxuan Immortal Fruit Banquet, no matter how much, would be donated to the Salesian Bureau, what do you think? ”

"Wonderful, wonderful, this is absolutely possible! That's it for collecting money! "Forget about the officials, the key is that those ladies and ladies like to do good deeds the most. When encountering such an opportunity, I will naturally not let it go.

"It's just, there are so many people, how to divide the longevity fruit, how to calculate the money?" After all, this is the Immortal Fruit Feast, that is the protagonist, less will definitely not work, but more and distressing, and it can't be drawn.

"On the first floor, everyone will get one free piece, and on the second and third floors, everyone will get ten free pieces. If the guests on the second floor want to drink, they will give two more plates of fried acacia. At that time, it will naturally not be enough to eat, so you can say that Liuyunxuan inadvertently only got a small amount of longevity fruit, and today it is all free. But from tomorrow, it will be released in limited quantities, and as for the pricing and quantity, you can set it yourself. By the way, you can buy some edamame beans and come back, and cook them the same way as you cook long fruits, and you will be able to cope with it when the time comes. ”

Seeing that Zhao Da and Boss Wang were still digesting what they said, Ye Feng called Ye Ermei and a few chefs to help, and after a while, he disrupted the original arrangement of eight people at a table, and arranged all the tables into a rectangle, with stools on the periphery.

At first glance, it looks like a tea party.

This time, Boss Wang understood a little.

He understood what Ye Feng meant, it should be that after everyone finished taking their favorite food, people returned to their places and chatted with the people next to them. And the position is not fixed, you can sit anywhere.

In this way, it is indeed very lively.

Needless to say, on the first floor, everyone comes from different industries, and they all have some family backgrounds, so they are familiar with each other after chatting.

Taking the second floor as an example, if they were to sit at separate tables as before, it would be inconvenient for some officials to talk to Bai Zhixian, or they would need to leave their seats and be in front of a table.

If there is anything intimate to say, it is simply impossible.

Now this arrangement perfectly solves this problem, the officials take their favorite food, find an official they need to socialize and befriend, sit down to eat, drink, chat, and blend, it is simply too convenient.

When you feel that you don't have anything to talk about, you can go to another person to talk to.

"Hmm. It's good, but it seems a little too empty. And the people on the other side looked at each other, which was also a little awkward. ”

"That's simpler, it's easy to solve. You see, the people on the first floor like to be lively, so we invited a storyteller to sit in the middle that day, and we could play and sing the story. ”

"As for the second and third floors, I still have some exquisite bonsai at home, which are all not available outside. When the time comes, take it and put it on the stool, leaving a gap on the left and right sides, so that those who like it can go in and watch, and it can also play the effect of a screen. ”

Hearing this, Boss Wang was even more satisfied. It's just that he suddenly understood Ye Feng's intentions, and only looked at him and smiled, but didn't speak.

Seeing this, Ye Feng didn't know how, so he said directly: "Therefore, I have to trouble Boss Wang to introduce to you when the time comes, just say that these bonsai can be sold." By the way, on the day of the banquet, I will sit near the counter on the first floor, and if you need to buy bonsai, you can just bring it down and ask me to pay for it. As for the income, Boss Wang and I split it fifty-fifty, how about it? ”

This time, Boss Wang can be regarded as completely convinced of Ye Feng. Even this is counted, no matter how you look at it, you are being used. It's just that he is willing to share fifty percent of the profits, and Boss Wang feels that there is nothing to regret.

Several people discussed for a while, and Boss Wang arranged the tables on the second and third floors on the same floor according to Ye Feng's instructions. And Ye Feng and Ye Ermei looked for an ox cart and went home, and he wanted to go back and move all the bonsai over.

Although his bonsai is now famous, it is still far from being famous. Therefore, Ye Feng wanted to take advantage of this peanut banquet to make a name for himself and completely publicize his bonsai.

Since he has long since quit the Yaya Township Kitchen, he is now concentrating on planting with Chen Qianshu. Therefore, there are really a lot of fine products cultivated by Ye Feng in the backyard of Chen Jixing's house.

The variety of bonsai has also increased greatly, and the newly added camellia bonsai is even more amazing.

When he returned home, it was still early, Ye Feng found Chen Jixing and Chen Qianshan and explained the situation to the two. Chen Jixing's face was excited, he knew how much those nobles liked these bonsai, but he didn't know how many pots could be sold at this banquet. Chen Qianshan happily helped to carry the car one by one, separated by a certain distance according to Ye Feng's words.

When moving to the thirteenth pot, after looking at the situation in the car, Ye Feng asked the two to stop, he got into the car himself, and Chen Qianshan rushed to the car to transport these flowers to Liuyunxuan.

Waiting for Feng Er to help unload all the flowers from the car, Chen Qianshan rushed back non-stop and continued to transport the remaining flowers from the house. This time, Ye Feng prepared a total of about eighty bonsai, and he personally selected fifty-two of them.

Seeing that Feng Er had been helping him move the flowers, and he had worked tirelessly, Ye Feng said: "Thank you Brother Feng for your help, if these flowers can be sold, I will seal a red envelope for you at that time." ”

Hearing this, Feng Er hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, these are my business." ”

Seeing him like this, Ye Feng smiled and was noncommittal, waiting for the flowers to be sold, it would not be too late to thank him when the time came.

On the first floor, Ye Feng only put two pots of rhododendrons, which were used as an addition to the scenery, and most of the people here were still struggling to make ends meet, so they should have no intention of appreciating the beauty of these flowers. As for the purchase, even less so if you think about it.

The second and third floors are what Ye Feng needs to focus on.

After thinking about it, Ye Feng decided to focus on the second floor of the pine and cypress bonsai, and the camellia, pomegranate, and red fruit trees on the third floor.

Of course, for a bonsai as versatile as azaleas, it is better to put some on the second and third floors.

It took four trips back and forth for Chen Qianshan to move all the flowers at home. At noon, it was naturally Boss Wang's treat, although Ye Feng talked a lot, but there were still some details that he didn't understand.

Seeing that Ye Feng and Chen Qianshan arranged the head of the way, Boss Wang no longer cared about this, but took Zhao Da to write an invitation. In the middle of the ring, the two of them sorted out the officials and celebrities in the city one by one, and thought about the wording again, and then pulled a down-and-out Xiu who wrote letters for people from the street to come in and write an invitation.

Now, Ye Feng and Chen Qianshan are arranging on the third floor.

Considering that the guests in this room are all delicate guests, and they have been exposed to it since childhood, there is some ink in their abdomen, and they like delicate and beautiful things, Ye Feng tried to get closer to this when arranging it.

For example, the pot of azaleas placed on the rosewood flower shelf at the door is in full bloom at the moment, the elongated branches and leaves and the embellishment of flowers, like a waterfall, and the top of the branches is cleverly decorated by Ye Feng, from a distance, it is simply an invincible peacock.

What is different from the past is that Ye Feng also specially labeled these flowers on the flower pots this time. For example, in this pot of rhododendrons, Ye Feng wrote the words "peerless Fanghua". His calligraphy is really ugly, but he writes it in artistic font, which is also unique.

At the corner of the corner, where the food is placed, there is a pot of camellia, tall and dense, with only one flower in bloom, and the rest are flower bones. This flower is pure white, which is the most suitable place to place on the side of food, symbolizing the cleanliness of food.

When he arrived at a corner, Ye Feng put a combined bonsai.

First there was a tall pine tree, which grew diagonally to the left, and then a rhododendron, which grew crookedly to the right, but the rhododendron grew in the opposite direction after a circle around the waist of the pine tree.

The surface of the soil is clean, with only one dried flower and two potters facing each other. And the label on it is "if life is only as it first sees".

The rest of the flowers, Ye Feng is roughly arranged according to the law of "viewing flowers-leaves-flowers", all of them are close to the table, but there is a little distance from them.

The person who eats can just watch, but he can't see the expression of the person on the other side.

As for the second floor, the place where you enter the door is a pot of pine bonsai, but it is not a horizontal oblique branch, but a tall and stout, symbolizing that these officials on the second floor will sooner or later soar and have deep roots and leaves.

If the third floor is elegant and delicate, then the second floor is full of bookish atmosphere. Especially the pot of azaleas placed in the corner, Ye Feng especially appreciated it, and it can be said to be his proud work.

I saw a rhododendron tree growing on a big rock for some reason, with a trunk the thickness of a thumb, straight to the sky. The whole tree was dark, without a single leaf, but a flower suddenly bloomed at the very top. Proud and mysterious.

Below, it is inscribed with Wang Wei's poem "Xinyiwu": the hibiscus flower of the wood powder, and the red calyx in the mountain. The stream is lonely, and they open and fall.

Ye Feng believes that this should be very in line with the style of those who read. Maybe even some officials will feel the same way.

No matter what they are now, they are still scholars in their bones, and this flower is used to draw out the kind of emotions in their bones.

After arranging these flowers, Ye Feng called Feng Er again and said, "I'm really embarrassed to say it, I'm bothering the second brother for an afternoon." And one last thing, you should take a clean cloth towel and wipe all the flowers and leaves with water to make sure that there is no dust and mud on the day of the banquet. ”

Feng Er hurriedly responded.

It may seem tedious, but it's actually the most relaxing. It's just a matter of wiping the leaves of the tree with a cloth, which is a hundred times easier than planting.

After writing the invitation, when Zhao Da took someone to deliver the invitation in person, Boss Wang came to the third floor alone, and was instantly stunned by the three floors that Ye Feng had already arranged.

At the same time, a voice sounded irrepressibly in his heart, this time he wanted fire, this time Liuyunxuan wanted to be on fire. To say that these flowers are too beautiful, no wonder Ye Feng said that they can't be bought outside.

If it weren't for tomorrow's banquet, he would have wanted to buy one or two pots now and stay in Liuyunxuan to entertain guests. Even if you put it at home, it's okay.

Under Ye Feng's leadership and explanation, Boss Wang saw the first floor from the third floor and put forward some of his own opinions. Ye Feng felt that it was still very pertinent to write, and changed it according to his ideas.

At this moment, Chen Qianshan, who had gone and returned, pointed to the bamboo basket at the door and said, "Boss Wang, these are the ten sets of porcelain you want, and they asked me to bring them to you." ”

It turned out that he went back to Yejia Village to run errands, Ye Feng said in his heart.

Just finished pulling the flowers, he originally wanted to ask Chen Qianshan to help move upstairs, but the person disappeared in a blink of an eye. Now it seems that he actually went to Yejia Village to flatter Father Ye.

Boss Wang personally checked it and felt that Ye Feng was right, this plate is indeed good-looking, and it can be more expensive with fried peanuts.

He also commanded several chefs to peel the peanuts needed for tomorrow, set the table where the dishes were kept, and stacked the dishes and chopsticks...... Ye Feng saw that he had completely understood what he meant, so he took the ox cart home with confidence.

On the other hand, Zhao Da, who sent the invitation with the little girl, was also very smooth. Without him, the first thing he sent was Bai Zhixian's house. As for the others, as soon as they heard that Bai Zhixian was going, they immediately responded.

When Zhao Da came to Gu's mansion to deliver the invitation, it was so coincidental that Bai Zhixian happened to be chatting in front of Mrs. Qin. In and out of his words, he was in the big exam three years later, and he really needed the help of the Gu family.

Mrs. Qin said: "I walk around with those people more on weekdays, and I can't go back at a critical moment, then it will be too deliberate, and it will inevitably lose the inferior." ”

Bai Zhixian said respectfully: "What my mother-in-law said is very true, and my son-in-law will do it." ”

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Qin didn't appreciate it and said, "I know that you young people think I talk too much." However, I told you a long time ago, then Master Li can't stay. You think he is a classmate and has helped him many times, but what do you see him doing to you? ”

"The son-in-law has already sent him away, and the mother-in-law can rest assured."

At this moment, someone came to Liuyunxuan's shopkeeper to ask for a meeting.

Bai Zhixian was a little impatient and wanted to drink back from the people who came to report, but Mrs. Qin had already taken the first step and said, "Let him in." ”

After speaking, he waited for the man to go down, and then said to Bai Zhixian: "I told you to have more contact with the people below, not just those who are officials." These untouchables, though penniless, are very useful at critical moments. If you make good use of it, there will be only benefits and no disadvantages for you. ”

Mrs. Qin's words can be regarded as a complete awakening of Bai Zhi County.

If he had beheaded Kang Yan before the big exam, maybe it would have been a different situation now. You must know that during that time, the people of Qingshan County praised him, and every time he went out, people called him "Bai Qingtian".

Thinking of this, there was no longer the slightest thought in my heart, "What kind of thing is the big shopkeeper of Liuyunxuan, and he deserves to come to talk to me".

Zhao Zhanzhan came to the inner hall under the guidance of the doorman, and he didn't dare to raise his head, so he immediately knelt down and said, "The grass people have seen Lord Zhixian, Mrs. Qin. ”

Bai Zhixian said with a pleasant face: "Shopkeeper Zhao doesn't have to be polite, I don't know what happened to come to this official this time?" ”

Zhao Da hurriedly said: "The owner inadvertently found a new kind of food, called Changsheng Fruit, and will set up a banquet in Liuyunxuan at noon tomorrow, and invite the county lord to appreciate the light and come to taste." In addition, the proprietor has invited some representatives from all walks of life, and they all want to meet the magistrate and report to you on the situation of all walks of life. ”

Originally, when he heard that it was just an ordinary banquet, Bai Zhixian was a little interested, but when he heard it, he immediately became interested, which was not exactly what he wanted!

So he agreed.

When he went out, Zhao Dacai breathed a sigh of relief. Bai Zhi County has agreed, isn't it easy for others to get it?

And Ye Feng was right, as soon as the housekeeper heard that tomorrow's banquet was going to give silver, he took out the money bag and asked for the silver without saying a word. Zhao Da hurriedly excused himself, only saying that it would not be too late to receive it tomorrow.

The housekeeper misunderstood, thinking that Zhao Da didn't dare to accept it. In fact, tomorrow, walking in front of the box engraved with the merit box, Bai Zhixian is definitely embarrassed not to give money.

And as long as he takes the lead, the officials behind him will definitely give it.

Within half a day, all the celebrities in the city received invitations, and none of them refused. With the prepaid silver and the situation in hand, Zhao Da hurriedly returned to Liuyunxuan and discussed with Boss Wang the details that needed to be modified.

Some housekeepers even told Zhao Da what kind of food his master likes to eat, which needs to be prepared in advance.

Different from Ye Feng's relaxation, this night, Liuyunxuan almost stayed up and down all night, and Boss Wang even took Zhao Dajiang to check everything to ensure that nothing went wrong.
