The time on the invitation card is two o'clock in the afternoon, before noon Xiangru back to the kitchen to do things, from two o'clock in the afternoon, there are guests of the car and horse arrived, Xiang Fei with his relatives and friends warmly greeted, sent Xiangru special teapot soup and snacks, accompanied by greetings.

This teapot soup was only cooked for Young Master Shu at the eldest princess of Changping back then, and it was only taken out for the second time after a few years, using ingredients that warm the stomach and dispel the cold.

Xiang Fei secretly praised Xiangru's good strategy, and a pot of soup and a few plates of dim sum firmly grasped the appetite of the guests, and only waited for the main meal to be served.

Some of today's guests are actually Xiangru's related households, that is, her closest five elders, the master and uncle can't come, and it is their husbands who come on their behalf, and they want to go to work with Senior Brother and Taiyi Shao, and send their own children and housekeepers as representatives. Xiang Fei personally led these five important guests upstairs and arranged them in front of the window on the other side of the street.

After noon, the upstairs and private rooms were all full, and half of the downstairs was seated, and all the guests of today's tasting party arrived, and after greeting Fei upstairs and downstairs, he instructed the kitchen to prepare for the food.

Xiangru received the order and ordered the cooks to count the dishes and drinks, load the trays, and 'hand' over to the restaurant guys to serve the dishes.

The guests were all whetted by the teapot soup, and finally waited for the main meal to be served, listening to Xiang Fei's opening remarks, everyone drank and ate food in a lively manner, the guests were all veterans on the wine table, and the taste of the dishes was known. Xiang Fei walked among the guests by toasting, observing the guests' faces, listening to their comments, knowing that they were satisfied, he was also very happy, and the toast was even more enthusiastic.

The restaurant staff continued to serve the food like a stream, and the guests ate to their heart's content, and when the guys gave Xiangru a small snack made by Xiangru as a parting gift according to the number of people, the tasting party ended successfully.

The guests wanted to see Xiangru before leaving, and asked Fei to send someone to the back kitchen to ask, but Xiangru was busy at noon, and her temples were already scattered and full of smoke, so she really didn't look like a guest, so she had to return to Xiang Fei and refused, the guests wanted to see her, and there was a chance in the future.

Xiang Fei conveyed Xiangru's original words to the guests, and the guests felt that they were reasonable, so they were no longer reluctant, but only waited for the opening to come back to cheer, and then left one after another, and bowed to Fei and the shopkeeper at the big 'door'.

Guest***, everyone immediately closed the row of 'doors', the guys cleaned up the table, the cooks brought out everyone's lunch, and Xiangru went back to the backyard to rest, only to let the big tiger come over and tell Xiang Fei, and asked him to talk in the backyard after eating.

Xiang Fei responded and beckoned everyone to eat, he and his entourage ate the same dishes as the guests, and the shopkeeper ate ordinary meals, and everyone had eaten enough of the two days of practice, and they didn't want to eat anymore.

Xiang Fei poured a stomach of wine at noon, his face was flushed, he actually had no appetite, and after the meal was served, he looked at it twice and didn't have anything to eat at all, but then the head chef brought another noodle bowl and put it in front of Xiang Fei's table.

"The second owner said that the big owner drank too much wine at noon, and I am afraid that he will lose his appetite now, so he specially made a bowl of black rice sweet potato soup for the big owner, sweet food hangover, black rice sweet potatoes and rock sugar have stomach nourishing effects, please eat a little more."

Xiang Fei looked at the steaming bowl of sweet porridge in front of him, the black 'colored' glutinous rice, the non-'colored' soup, and the evenly sized diced sweet potatoes, the 'mixed' sweet smell was inhaled into the abdomen, and he faintly felt that his stomach was indeed more comfortable, so he couldn't help but pick up the spoon and stir it, blowing a cool breath and eating it slowly.

"Well, it's delicious." A mouthful of sweet soup enters the stomach from the mouth through the esophagus, like a gentle 'spring' wind soothing the stomach that has turned over the river, and breathing a long sigh of relief.

"It's good if the big owner likes it, the second owner knows that you have to eat a lot of wine today, and yesterday I soaked the black rice in water during the day, and today I cooked such a bowl of good soup. The big owner you use slowly, and the small one retreats first. ”

Xiang Fei tasted the taste of sweet soup, how could he care about listening to the chef's chatter, just bury his head in the soup, and he went in and out of his left ear and out of the chef's words, nodding perfunctorily.

Although Bai An Guo Jin and the others have long been accustomed to their own young master's wine table, they are also quite worried about their young master's body, and even those who are beaten with iron can't withstand the long-term immersion of the wine table in 'lewdness'. Presumably, their young master's body won't have to worry too much about them in the future.

Thinking like this, the five of Bai'an Guo Jin finally ate by themselves with peace of mind.

Xiang Fei ate most of the bowl of sweet soup in one go, his stomach was warm, he put down the spoon comfortably, waited for his relatives to put down the chopsticks, and then handed over the rest of the aftermath to the shopkeeper to deal with, and he took his relatives to the backyard to see He Xiangru through the kitchen.

He Xiaojie will welcome everyone into the living room, the big tiger and the little tiger will send tea, Erni will go upstairs to inform the osmanthus 'flower', and the osmanthus 'flower' will tell Xiangru again, and then Xiangru will clean up the instrument and go downstairs to meet the guests.

Xiangru invited Xiang Fei into the reception room to speak, where there were large spacious chairs covered with thick 'wool' blankets, soft and warm, suitable for lazy conversation on some light topics, if she was serious, she invited someone into the study to talk.

The reception room and study room are all blue gauze cabinet layouts, with 'doors', but they are not closed, because they want to avoid suspicion. Osmanthus 'flower' stood outside the 'door' and 'waited', and Xiaojie waited in the living room for Bai An, Guo Jin and others.

Xiangru and Xiang Fei didn't sit in the reception room for long, and after Xiang Fei told Xiangru about the guests' reactions, the meeting was over, and the feedback conveyed to Xiang Fei gave Xiangru more confidence and was full of ambition for the future.

The next day, Xiangru coincidentally received letters from her master, uncle, teacher and brothers, all of whom affirmed and praised yesterday's tasting meeting, and encouraged Xiangru to do a good job and strive to open a few more branches to occupy the capital.

Three days later, at the second tasting meeting, Xiangru invited all her guests from dignitaries, but in fact, needless to say, she also knew that the main master would not come, and it would be a pleasure to send a representative to come.

In fact, Xiangru expected that the people who came to the banquet were all representatives of the main owner, but this representative was not ordinary, they were all confidants and cronies around her, which gave Xiangru enough face, and paved the way for her future business prosperity, after all, there are not a few times in the whole of this kind of free advertising in Beijing.

Today's guests also gave Xiang Fei a lot of pressure, and he didn't dare to slack off when greeting guests, and he was more enthusiastic than the last time he tasted it, and at the same time, he also had to maintain a few weeks of courtesy, so that the guests could see the demeanor of the third young master of the Xiang family in the capital, and also paved the way for future business.

This time, Xiangru didn't stay in the back kitchen all the time, and in the middle of the tasting meeting, Xiangru, who had freshly dressed up, came out of the back kitchen, holding a wine jug mixed with water, and toasted the guests from table to table, and changed to Fei to take a breath.

Fortunately, today's guests are not as many as last time, although they are full of the second floor and private rooms, although they are only representatives, but because of the identity of their confidants and cronies, they are also quite familiar with Xiangru, and they are all the ages of the elders, plus they have to hold their own identities, and their manners and language are more Sven, Xiangru came to toast and politely pushed and let go of a glass, no one would drink to others, let alone pull Xiangru to ask her a glass of respect, which made Xiangru's heart a lot easier, she was afraid of a glass of worship before mixing water in the wine jug.

After toasting from table to table, Xiangru said a few words of help, and then excused herself to go back to the kitchen to see and retreat temporarily.

Xiangru just stepped into the kitchen, the wine jug and wine glass in her hand had not been put down, but she saw that someone on the side of the small stove on the west wall was enjoying herself, and she was eating so comfortably with a sip of wine and a sip of crystal donkey 'meat', but Bai An, who poured wine for him, saw Xiangru, and was so frightened that he quickly hid the wine jug behind him, and gave his young master a 'color'.

Xiang Fei didn't realize it, he was so happy that Xiangru didn't even notice when he was standing behind him.

"Young master, don't eat, it's time to go out and toast the guests, and come back to eat the same." Bai An gave Xiangru a smiling face while grabbing Xiang Fei's chopsticks

"What's the hurry, it's annoying to the guests who always toast, I'll go back later, I'll eat two more bites, and I'm much more tired than last time." Xiang Fei didn't raise his head, and directly stretched the wine glass to Bai An's nose, "Don't just stand, pour wine." ”

Bai An couldn't laugh anymore, under Xiangru's meaningful gaze, he slowly took out the wine jug behind his back, Xiangru raised his eyebrows, handed out his own wine jug, and motioned Bai An to 'exchange' with his eyes, and then watched Bai An cry with a sad face and poured the wine mixed with water into Xiang Fei's wine glass.

Xiang Fei was waiting impatiently for the wine, and was urging, when he saw that the cup was full, he looked up and drank quickly......

"Uh......!" The wine was swallowed as soon as it entered his throat, and Xiang Feicai reacted that the wine tasted wrong, and then he wanted to spit it out, but it was too late, but he choked and coughed, and the chopsticks and wine glasses in his hand fell on the stove without holding them, "Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, ......cough, What's going on? What are you doing? ”

"Young master, I have wronged you......" Bai An felt that he was so unlucky today, but he didn't dare to say that it was instructed by He Xiangru, so he only dared to point his finger behind Fei.

Xiang Fei looked at his strange little guy, and finally came to his senses, and suddenly turned around, He Xiangru was looking at him with a 'treacherous' smile.

"Young Master Fei, Third Master Fei, is the donkey 'meat' delicious?"

Xiang Fei hurriedly wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, "What's that, it's 'very' delicious, I didn't eat it last time, I tasted it carefully today, our chef is a good cook, I didn't invite the wrong person." ”

"Well, I'm also 'very' satisfied with them, worthy of being an expert dug by Fei Sanye, Fei Sanye has worked hard, do you want to have a few more drinks?"

"Well, I don't think it's necessary, but the second owner has just drunk a lot of wine, and it doesn't seem to be very good to see your face, do you want to have a bowl of sweet soup to slow down?" It's warm on your stove. ”

"Thank you, don't dare to work the big boss, I will be prosperous myself, the big boss hurries to greet the guests, if you snub them, don't blame me for beating you." Xiangru said and shook her fist menacingly.

Once in his life, he was threatened by a 'woman' by force, although the fist was so small and the arm was so thin, Xiang Fei's eyes still widened in surprise, and he wanted to say something more, but he was quickly pulled out by Bai An's arm, "Second owner, you are angry, have a good rest, our young master will go upstairs to greet the guests, and he will never dare to slack off." ”

Xiangru watched Xiang Fei's master and servant go out of the 'door' and enter the 'flower' garden, and slowly turned around in the direction of the big stove, still full of anger, "After watching the excitement, what are you doing standing stupidly, and you don't work." ”

Originally, while working, peeked at the lively cooks to help the cooks in Xiangru's shouting, they didn't dare to desert anymore and buried themselves in their work, but they all thought in their hearts that the second owner who drank was terrible.

Bai An pulled Xiang Fei through the 'flower' garden into the lobby, fortunately, there was no one on the first floor, Bai An hurriedly smoothed the folds of Xiang Fei's clothes, so that he could go to meet the guests in a radiant manner.

Xiang Fei was out of the world, and was very unhappy that Xiangru was still angry about the threat she had just made, "Hey, Bai An, you heard it, that 'woman' actually threatened to beat me." What does she mean, didn't I just eat some wine and 'meat', she was so angry that I couldn't get off the stage in front of so many people? ”

"Young master, my good young master, you dissipate your anger, you often eat wine with people at the wine table, why do you forget that there is a kind of person in this world who changes his 'temperament' greatly once he eats wine, which is completely different from usual?"

Xiang Fei was stunned, but after thinking about it again, it was wrong, "Her wine jug is mixed with water, she can't have this amount of wine, right?" ”

"Young master, what do you think, Miss He grew up in the small palace, and after coming out, she was busy treating patients every day, where would she have the opportunity to exercise her drinking, if it weren't for the shopkeeper who stopped her, she said that she was afraid that the guests would find out, Miss He still wanted to directly replace wine with water, just now didn't the young master also say that her face was not good-looking, I don't think she would drink at all." What we use today is the best old wine we brought, the wine pot is so big, and we have to ensure that there is a wine aroma, how much water can this be mixed with? Anyone who can't drink alcohol will faint after pouring a pot. Bai An speculated.

After listening to Bai An's words, Xiang Fei rolled her eyes and lost the strength to be angry, "She doesn't drink well, but it's the kind of 'temperament' that changes greatly when she drinks, isn't it that as long as she drinks, the people around her must obediently not mess with her?" ”

"Young master, I think Miss He is good at drinking like this, at least she won't have a seizure if she doesn't provoke her, I'm afraid that those who will go crazy after drinking, you say yes, young master?"

"Well, it makes sense, tell Guo Jin that they remember, don't let He Xiangru have a chance to serve a wine glass outside." Xiang Fei suddenly remembered the last time he invited He Xiangru to dinner in the 'private' house, at that time He Xiangru only took a sip of wine from beginning to end, and deduced that she had no appetite when socializing, but now it seems that it must be an excuse, and the real reason is that she doesn't know how to drink.

"Yes, young master, I'll tell them when I get back. Young master, hurry upstairs, don't neglect the guests. Bai An led Xiang Fei to the counter of the shopkeeper, took the wine jug handed by the shopkeeper and handed it to Xiang Fei.

Xiang Fei mentioned the 'spirit' spirit, smiled and went upstairs again, Bai An told the shopkeeper about gossip downstairs, and told the shopkeeper that the second owner had a bad temper after drinking, so that the shopkeeper usually paid more attention, especially in the first month of opening, and should be especially careful that the second owner could not wipe his face and socialize with the guests.

The shopkeeper heard that the wine mixed with water had made the second owner dizzy, and hurriedly promised that he would pay more attention in the future and let the second owner serve the wine glass.

After Bai An instructed the shopkeeper, he told Guo Jin and the four of them again, and then he was relieved and waited downstairs for the young master to go downstairs to change the wine jug

Entering the 'Door'
