The sound of silk and bamboo jumped up, like a slowly flowing stream, the stream was clear, and the rocks were flying. Suddenly, the elegant strings of the zither leaned out of the ground, like pear blossoms falling on the stream, adding a fresh and natural touch.

On the central wooden platform on the second floor of Shanji, two men in green clothes and tied hair sat behind a curtain that was as thin and hazy as mountain mist.

The layout is elegant and pleasant, with two small maids and two maids, with a shallow smile on their faces, standing beside them.

Jin Xiaolou was personally preparing the ingredients in the kitchen.

When Shan Kee opened today, most of the food on the first floor was fast food, and most of it had been prepared yesterday night. There is only one table on the second floor, and the Western food needs to be served by Jin Xiaolou.

was busy, Lu Yun lifted the curtain and came in: "The shopkeeper, and the adult's sedan chair have arrived at the corner of the street." ”

Jin Xiaolou nodded, pulled Gui Zhi and Jing Ruyue to help herself, she wiped the wetness on her hands, took off her coat, and walked out.

When passing the door of the backyard, I saw Gao Lang standing on a small stool, sitting under the magnolia tree, holding Lin'er and teasing him.

Jin Xiaolou lowered his head and smiled, and suddenly felt that Gao Lang seemed to be a left-behind father-in-law, waiting for his wife to return with his children all day long.

Seeing that the crowd at the door of the store automatically split a way, Jin Xiaolou hurriedly retracted his thoughts and greeted him.

He Zhengyi had just gotten off the sedan chair, and his wife Meng Guangmei followed closely behind and walked towards the door of the store together.

The crowd of onlookers whispered, yesterday's words of Lu Yun had already spread, and today everyone saw that Mrs. He really came, and they all believed it to their bones, and they all looked forward to going into the store to try it, even if they didn't have the opportunity to go up to the second floor, it was good to go to the first floor to try it.

It's just that now is not the time to open the door to do business, Jin Xiaolou has to build momentum first.

She led He Zhengyi and Meng Guangmei to the second floor and took them straight to the terrace seat outside.

Jin Xiaolou invited Zhixian and his wife to come to shoot his first shot.

The two sat in an open-air private seat for lunch, and people passing by in the busy Xiangshui Street could see these two living signs when they looked up.

As soon as the person arrived at the table, the two servants immediately stepped forward and pulled out the chairs for the two, Jin Xiaolou stretched out his hand: "And the adult, and the lady, please." ”

The two of them sat down, and the little servant pushed the chair in and pushed it straight to the best position.

This action, these two little guys practiced all afternoon under the supervision of Jin Xiaolou yesterday before they practiced to perfection.

Immediately afterwards, the other two maids put on the tableware.

A white porcelain plate, a jade bowl, and a pair of knives and forks.

The knives and forks were specially made by Jin Xiaolou when he went to the blacksmith shop, and seeing that He Zhengyi was puzzled, Jin Xiaolou bowed and said: "The second floor of Shanji eats new things that the old lady has never eaten, and you don't need chopsticks to eat, only knives and forks." ”

Then Jin Xiaolou taught the two how to use knives and forks.

The people under the terrace stared sharply one by one, and they all felt strange when they saw knives and forks used for eating.

I also saw Mrs. Zhixian holding a knife and fork in her hand, her head slightly bowed, her long neck was slightly exposed, and she looked so elegant in the greenery beside her, like a painting.

One by one, they all imitated the appearance of the old lady, pretending to hold a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, and made a gesture.

Jin Xiaolou smiled slightly, her purpose was half successful.

In fact, knives and forks are just a rarity, she thinks chopsticks are the greatest invention, but she wants to use this time difference spanning hundreds of years to let ancient people see Western eating tools.

Generate value with novelty.

As soon as the church and justice and Meng Guangmei, the little guy had already come up with two cups of honey lemon tea.

This honey is wild honey in the mountains and forests, and Jin Xiaolou asked Ye to find three strong villagers to go into the forest to pick it once a day, and transport it to Xinning before evening.

Meng Guangmei took a sip and praised again and again.

"This honey lemon tea is not only delicious, but also has the effect of whitening and nourishing the skin, Mrs. can make an appointment with three or five friends and come here from time to time to order a cup." Jin Xiaolou took the opportunity to introduce it, "We not only have a dinner on the second floor of Shanji, but also afternoon tea, between noon and evening, you can also come to drink tea and eat snacks." ”

Jin Xiaolou wants to push the second floor into the circle of the rich lady and become a place for them to pass the time.

The appetizer prepared by Jin Xiaolou today is baked white fish, accompanied by shrimp balls and fruit salad, pan-fried pork cutlets, fried fish fillet, and creamy mushroom soup.

It was the first time for He Zhengyi and Meng Guangmei to eat one meal per person, although the ingredients were all ordinary things they had seen, but they had never tried it.

In addition, use a knife to cut the pork chops, and then use a fork to fork them up and send them to the mouth.

The medium-rare pork chops are tender and juicy on the inside, and the appearance is burnt and fragrant, which is not an ordinary flavor.

Jin Xiaolou saw that he had almost exhausted the appetite of the people on the street, and gestured to the little guy behind him.

The first floor of Yamaki has officially opened.

The people outside poured in, thinking that so many people would have to wait at least half an hour to serve the food, but who knew that as soon as they entered, people lined up in front of the counter next to each other.

At the counter stood four maids in identical dresses, and behind them, a long blackboard was filled with the price of each food, and even a pattern.

After it was a person's turn to order food, he handed over the money, received a meal ticket, and waited at the counter next to him to pick up the food.

There are two windows on the wall behind the counter that lead directly to the kitchen, so you can see the kitchen clearly.

After making a thing, it was handed out from the window, and the maid distributed it to the waiting guests one by one with the meal coupon.

Methodical, surprisingly fast, in the blink of an eye, the guests received their share of food, and then found a favorite seat, and sat down to eat.

There is also a small wooden barrel next to the counter with sweet water that can be drunk for free.

There are more and more people in Shanji, the tables and chairs on the first floor are full, and the cashier's maid is very busy.

Not far away, Tong Song, the shopkeeper of Qiuyue Restaurant, darkened his face.

It was noon at the busiest time of the day, and there were only a few people sitting in the house of Qiuyue Restaurant, and most of the guests were attracted by Yamaji.

Tong Song has opened a restaurant on Xiangshui Street for more than ten years, and he has never seen such a big movement in the opening of a restaurant, so he felt a little hateful at the moment.

Among peers, your business is going to be good, mine is not good, Tong Song can't see that others are better than himself.

He beckoned and called the second child in the store: "Da Chun, you change your clothes and go to the next mountain to take a trip and see what they sell." ”

"Okay!" Da Chun shook off the veil and took the order away.

Da Chun changed his clothes and walked through Xiangshui Street, and when he entered Shanji, He Zhengyi and Mrs. He were finishing their meal and wanted to go downstairs to leave.

As soon as she walked to the door, Meng Guangmei suddenly stopped, raised her eyebrows and said to justice: "Master, you go back to the house first, I still want to drink another cup of honey lemon tea." ”

He Zheng was worried about the prince in the mansion, and nodded in agreement.

Meng Guangmei turned around and went upstairs again, this time she didn't go to the private room on the terrace, but sat in front of the window casually, waved her hand, and let the two people who played go down.

Jin Xiaolou stood at the table and smiled: "If Madame has something to say to Xiaolou, please speak." ”

Meng Guangmei was stunned, then shook her head: "You are really smart, how can you see it?" ”

Jin Xiaolou said: "The old man has always respected and respected the lady, the two of you went out to accompany you, and the old man both put their hands on the crook of the lady's arm, but today, after getting out of the carriage with the master, he didn't even look at the lady, it was the lady who caught up with the old man and came together." ”

"Xiao Lou boldly guessed that there was some disagreement between Mrs. and the master, and I am afraid that Mrs. made the master unhappy."

Meng Guangmei couldn't help but admire, this Jin Xiaolou is really smart, no wonder her master values her so much.

"You're right." And Mrs. to.

Jin Xiaolou immediately took the rose roselle tea handed over by the maid and handed it to Mrs. He.

This rose roselle tea has a bright color and a sweet taste, which is suitable for drinking after meals, and also has the effect of nourishing and slimming down.

Sure enough, Meng Guangmei picked up the tea and sniffed it gently, then took a sip and nodded with satisfaction.

Then he told Jin Xiaolou about yesterday's events.

After hearing this, Jin Xiaolou asked her: "The matter in Madame's house, why do you want to find Xiaolou that has nothing to do with this?" ”

Meng Guangmei was a little surprised, she didn't expect Jin Xiaolou to ask such a question: "I heard what happened to you in the Jin family, your two sisters are doing well now, don't you want to trample them under your feet?" ”

Jin Xiaolou smiled indifferently: "In this world, some people's happiness comes from their own happiness, while some people's happiness needs to be drawn from the misfortune of others. Jin Xiaotao and Jin Xiaofeng are the latter, but I am different from them. ”

Jin Xiaolou's words, although he politely rejected Meng Guangmei, made Meng Guangmei look at her highly.

Meng Guangmei nodded: "Since that's the case, it's not for you, it's all for me, I ask you to help me." ”

Meng Guangmei likes the little girl in front of her a little at the moment.

"As a condition, I will push your mountain record out, you know, my words in front of Madame and Miss are more effective than you doing a hundred things."

"It's a deal!" Jin Xiaolou didn't hesitate for even a moment, "But madam, the first thing you have to find is Jin Xiaofeng." She must be tortured at this moment, and she hates Jin Xiaotao to the core. ”
