Ye Dan looked at Chu Lin's straight back, thinking that it was rare for the two of them to have a time alone, so it was better not to provoke them at this time, so he went to the room next to him.

Du Mei went into the kitchen to chop the remaining half of the duck and loaded another plate of duck wings, Chu Lin waited on the side to take it, raised his eyes and looked at the table where the cook was eating next to him and said, "It's here, it's not too early, don't go to the front hall to make trouble for people." ”

"Wouldn't that be too wronged for you!" Du Mei said angrily, but went in and took the dishes and chopsticks out to him.

"Tsk, King Yan is really coincidental." Murong Xi suddenly walked in.

"Hey, the guests were all gone just now, why are you still here?" Du Mei asked in surprise.

"I'm not the only one, there's another upstairs, he has to drink with me, and he's drunk and unconscious at the moment." Murong Xi laughed.

"Since you're here, you might as well sit down and have some more drinks." Chu Lin said coldly.

"Now that I'm here, can I still be afraid!" Murong Xi lifted his back robe and sat down.

Seeing this, Du Mei had no choice but to enter the house without saying a word, took out a pair of dishes and chopsticks, put them in front of Murong Xi, and went into the kitchen to cook by herself.

Chu Lin picked up the wine jar and poured two bowls of wine, and he didn't need to speak, just raised his head and drank it all, and the two men drank more than ten bowls in a row in silence.

"Does King Yan know what bet I made with Song Shaohuai today?" At this time, Murong Xi's drunken spirit smeared his cheeks, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were like peach blossoms.

"My brother has always lived a happy life, and it's not surprising that he gambles on anything." Chu Lin picked up a duck wing and ate it with chopsticks, it was really inconvenient, he simply pinched and gnawed it with his hands, if he was seen by the Queen Mother, he would definitely be taught a lesson.

"My affection for Amei can be seen day by day, no matter what situation she is, I will always stand firmly with her, if you still have affection for her, accept my challenge, why use such a child's trick to drive me away!" Murong Xi glanced at him, Song Shaohuai and Chu Lin are sworn brothers, and it is reasonable for the elder brother to come out for the younger brother.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but if there is, it's yours, and it's none of it. Du Mei is the only one in my life, I don't argue, I'm just waiting, waiting for Mei Er to suddenly look back and see the moment when I am still standing in the lamplight. Chu Lin lowered his eyes and poured wine, compared to Murong Xi's fierce words, Chu Lin's words were cold, his sadness and loneliness overflowed all over his body, and even the liquor in front of him could not warm him.

"If you don't fight, what are you going to do now!" Murong Xi raised his head and drank and mocked.

"I'm here, just to take the opportunity to meet her, and waiting, it's also a very tiring and tiring thing." Chu Lin smiled bitterly and raised his head to pour wine.

As they said this, Du May was busy in the kitchen. Peppers, celery, tofu, mushrooms and the like, there are still some in the kitchen, and there are some shredded meat and duck breasts in the side dish bowl, and there are still some fresh fish and shrimp in the water tank.

The smell of vegetables wafted out of the kitchen again, Song Jiu was in the back hall, he came over to check, but was stopped by Zhao Ji'an with a cold face, he had to go back stupidly, the cooks also smelled it, and they all came to ask him what was going on, he only said that Xiao Qi was not full, and Du Mei opened a small stove for her.

He said this, the cooks all believe, Xiao Qi can eat meat or not, they have seen it

, before trying the dishes, Xiao Qi ate the most, but she can eat so much, but she doesn't gain weight, she is really a blessed person.

"You're busy entertaining today, you must not have eaten well, so you might as well accompany us to use a little. Chu Lin ate a few spicy duck breasts, only to feel that they were thoroughly numb and spicy.

The royal chef will not make such a dish, they are looking for stability, warm and long, but some people after tasting this distinct and pleasant taste, eat bones and know the marrow, think about a lifetime, miss a lifetime! ”

Du Mei really didn't eat anything today, she was also a little hungry this time, so she picked up some vegetables to eat, the crape myrtle dew she drank before, although it was a light wine, but it also had stamina, at this moment the wine was constantly surging, she was so sleepy that her eyelids were fighting, she was staring in a daze, she was dazed, and she couldn't hear what the two men were saying.

It's already the third watch now, she sat on the stool and staggered, her eyes were half-squinted, she finally couldn't hold on, lost her center of gravity, and threw herself on the table, although Chu Lin was drinking, her eyes never left her, just when her face was about to fall on the hard table, Chu Lin held her cheek, got up and changed seats, and took her in his arms.

"You ......" Murong Xi, who leaned over and wanted to pull Du Mei, was very angry, he had really drunk too much wine today, and his reaction was even half a beat slower than Chu Lin.

"She's tired all day, it's time to go back, you have to drink, please take care of yourself." Chu Lin picked up Du Mei and left, leaving Murong Xi to stare dryly.

"I'd better take my sister back." Xiao Qi stopped Chu Lin in front of the gate.

"What's wrong?" Chu Lin twisted his eyebrows.

"Yesterday, we met Mrs. Su and Mrs. Cha in Qibaozhai, and we made some unpleasant trouble for my sister's jade, if you go this time, my aunt and Dr. Zhong will definitely have no good words for you, and then I will make my sister sad in vain." Xiao Qi simply told him about yesterday.

He has been staying in the palace until late these days, and he doesn't know about Mrs. Su yet, but this kind of thing, Su Muyun will not talk about it in front of him.

"Then you will bring her back alive." Hearing this, Chu Lin had no choice but to hand over Du Mei to Xiao Qi.

He is not afraid that the elders will be unhappy, but he is afraid that Du Mei will be sad, she is a tough person, she has endured hardships, and she swallows herself, how can he not know!

Murong Xi saw that Chu Lin couldn't send Du Mei, so he felt a little more comfortable, and he swaggered away from Meiji Restaurant, and Yan Mo was waiting outside to go back.

"Ji'an, you go upstairs and send my second brother home, my brother has always been a help!" Chu Lin didn't have a problem, Song Shaohuai has always done his own thing, but he is still for his good after all.

Xiao Qi rode a horse and took Du Mei back to the delicatessen, Chu Lin was not at ease, and followed all the way, and when he saw them return to the house, he came out of the shadow of the big elm tree and left alone.

On the second day, Zhong Yu took Xu's mother and son back, and the other stranded guests yesterday also said goodbye, Song Jiu's grandfather saw that everything was going well in the restaurant, and he was going to leave to go back to Huizhou.

"Good grandson, if you can marry Du Mei, our Song family will be able to keep the foundation for a hundred years." In the cabin, Song Yuanshan retreated from others and whispered.

"Grandpa, I know Meizi and can do business with her, this is already a blessing for three lives, the lion dancer you saw yesterday, do you know who he is? He is the young master of the most secret Tantric sect in Dian Prefecture on the rivers and lakes, and he still wants to be like this

This change of tricks makes her happy.

And Shopkeeper Ye, and the Song Gongzi who has the same surname as us, do you know who they are defending? That is the handsome and unparalleled Nine Princes of the Dynasty. Meizi just fried a few dishes in the kitchen to send him away, not to mention Shen Zhizhou, that is, he secretly admired it in his heart, and he didn't even dare to say it, you just look at these people, in terms of wealth, status, and knowledge, which one of your grandchildren can compare? "Song Jiu is young, but he is very clear, knowing that it is impossible to obtain, it is better to retreat and watch from afar.

"Hey, when you say this, we really can't compare, only this girl is lucky, you do more business with her, our Song family will glorify their ancestors in the future, and it will be inherited for a hundred years, but it depends on you." Song Yuanshan said earnestly.

"Grandpa, don't worry, in the future, you just have to take care of your days, and your grandchildren will live up to your trust." Song Jiu nodded solemnly.

Du Mei guarded the restaurant, watching the sun shadow move in front of the door little by little, she was inevitably a little apprehensive in her heart, and when it was almost noon, although no one came, she still let the kitchen prepare first.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, I don't need money for today's tabloids." When Song Jiu came back, he saw the little beggar waving a tabloid in Beijing, he took a copy and read it as he walked.

"Meizi, come and see this!" Song Jiu trotted into the restaurant and said excitedly.

"What's wrong?" Du Mei came out from behind the counter and unfolded the tabloid that Song Jiu had given her in confusion.

I saw that the whole page of the tabloid is the news of the opening of the Mei Kee Restaurant, from the decoration of the restaurant to the style of the elegant room, from the famous dishes of the Hui School to the Mei Ji duck cuisine, from the piano of the Oiran of the Chunxiang Pavilion to the female shopkeeper of the restaurant, the tabloid did not hesitate to introduce the Mei Kee Restaurant to everyone completely.

"This is Mei Ji?" A boy who looked like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old scholar stepped in and asked.

"Yes, how many of you?" Du Mei put down the tabloid and greeted him with a smile.

"You're the shopkeeper here? What a woman! The little scholar said very curiously.

"Which law of our Dashun Dynasty stipulates that women can't be shopkeepers?" Du Mei only felt amused, and couldn't help but ask.

"Is your dish really made of duck?" The little scholar didn't answer her, but continued to ask excitedly.

"Yes, most of Mei Ji's dishes are made of duck, which is not only delicious, but also very nourishing, and the second floor is Songzhu Orchid, the third floor is the piano and chess book, the light dance girl really played the piano on the third floor, and I am really the shopkeeper here!" Du Mei said in one breath, saving him from asking slowly.

As she spoke, she hated Murong Xi in her heart, this guy really did everything, although such a tabloid publicity could bring her a lot of business, but he dared to use her as a gimmick to solicit business, it was just itchy!

"Gu Fatzi, what the tabloid says is true, you lost the bet, hurry up and treat yourself!" The scholar shouted outside, found a seat in the front hall, and crossed Erlang's legs triumphantly.

Du Mei was stunned when he saw this, and there were still people who made this bet? In a moment when she was stunned, she saw six boys rushing in at once, they were as old as scholars, and a fat boy came in with a tabloid in his hand, pouting, and seemed to look around unconvinced.
