Chapter Forty-Eight: A Leisurely Residence
After arriving in Anyang County, Mu Xiwen inquired and went straight to the most luxurious Jixiang Restaurant.
Jixiang Restaurant is located on the lively East Street and has a total of two floors. At this time, it was close to the big food, and the first floor was already overcrowded, and from time to time there were rich people in gorgeous clothes who were welcomed into the second floor by the shopkeeper.
Mu Xiwen dusted off his somewhat shabby clothes, and as soon as he raised a smiling face, the shopkeeper who greeted the customers noticed these shabby-dressed people.
The flattering and enthusiastic face suddenly closed, and the shopkeeper glanced at them out of the corner of his eye, "What are you going to eat?" ”
Although he was a little dissatisfied with the sudden change of the shopkeeper's attitude, but this was the restaurant with the largest passenger flow and the most rich people in Anyang County, Mu Xiwen could only say: "It's not a meal, I want to talk to your owner about business." ”
The shopkeeper's brow can already kill flies. His expression was even more cold, and he shook his handkerchief and said, "I'm sorry, our boss is very busy, and not everyone can see him." ”
Mu Fuyang was a little anxious, "We can provide Jixiang Restaurant with a sweet that you have never eaten before, it is guaranteed to be particularly delicious, called gardenia candied fruit, how about it, haven't you heard of it?" ”
The shopkeeper was even more impatient, and when he saw a new customer coming, he dropped a sentence of "If you don't eat, let's go quickly, don't get in the way" and ran to the new customer.
"You!" Mu Fuyang still had something to say, Mu Xiwen grabbed his hand and shook his head.
Mu Fuyang stomped his foot unwillingly, turned around and followed Mu Xiwen.
Wang Peiyun, who was standing behind and watching this scene, smiled slightly and came to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper's cold expression became vivid again in an instant, "Miss Wang! What wind is blowing you here? Ouch, Mrs. Yi specially told the little one to serve you well next time I see you. ”
Wang Peiyun covered her lips and smiled, "What about the Yi Dong family?" I have a business I want to talk to him about. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, revealing a box that was exactly the same as the box containing gardenia candied fruit in Mu Xiwen's hand.
On the other side, Mu Xiwen and others.
"Arwen, why did you just forget it?"
"In the whole Anyang County, it's not the only place to eat at Jixiang Restaurant, why waste time with that kind of dog?" Mu Xiwen's expression remained unchanged at all, and he turned around directly, and soon stopped next to a somewhat deserted restaurant with a few people.
Mu Fuyang looked up, and the words "leisurely residence" came into view.
The whole restaurant is a bamboo building, and the artistic conception of openness and freedom comes to the face. It's a pity that the whole seems too empty, and there are no customers, and the restaurant is full of bleakness.
This restaurant was told to her by Zhang Ying'an when she was chatting, saying that it tasted very good, but unfortunately the owner was not good at management, and it was pressed by Jixiang Restaurant everywhere, and it was on the verge of bankruptcy in the past two years.
There are only a few tables of customers in the store, all of whom are nostalgic customers who have been supporting the business of Youranju all these years.
A shopkeeper dressed in a cyan short dozen saw a few people and greeted him warmly.
"What do you want to eat?"
Mu Xiwen repeated his previous words again: "It's not a meal, I want to talk to your owner about business." ”
"Talking about business?" The shopkeeper scratched his head in confusion and looked a few people up and down, "What kind of business are you talking about?" Our owner said that this store does not sell. ”
This made Mu Xiwen laugh, "It's not to buy a store, it's that I want to cooperate with your store for a long time, and I will provide some food that I haven't seen on the market, and I will sell it by Youranju." ”
"This ...... I'll go find the owner. After speaking, the shopkeeper ran out of the restaurant with a smoke.
More than ten minutes later, an elegant-looking middle-aged man stepped in from outside the store.
"Xu Dongjia?" Mu Xiwen was a little surprised, because the person who came was Xu Guangxuan, the owner of Shanlin Bookstore.
Xu Guangxuan laughed, "Brother Mu? It's really fateful. I don't know what business you want to talk about with the old man? ”
Mu Xiwen blinked and laughed happily, this time she was a little more sure.
"Dong Xu, why don't we go in and talk about it in detail?"
Seeing that the owner was so kind, Mu Fuyang suddenly felt that the business of this store was almost bad, it was not a problem, and with Awen's dedication, it would definitely be brought back to life!
Yes, at this time he was already a die-hard fan of Mu Xiwen.
After listening to Mu Xiwen's words, Xu Guangxuan pondered and said, "I wonder if you can let me taste the taste of this gardenia candied fruit?" ”
Mu Xiwen took out a candied fruit and gave it to him, "This is just one of the delicacies, and I will continue to research new dishes in the future." ”
Although he doesn't like sweets, Xu Guangxuan has to admit that this candied fruit will definitely be loved by countless children and women.
Seeing Xu Guangxuan's thoughtful appearance, Mu Xiwen continued: "Also, the leisurely residence of the Liu Dong family is unique and has a long meaning, but I think that if I make a slight adjustment, the business will definitely be better." ”
"Adjustments?" Xu Guangxuan showed a slightly resistant look, he took a sip of tea, and continued: "The original intention of the old man to open a leisurely residence is actually to create a comfortable and leisurely place for friends to gather, two cups of weak tea, a pot of sake, and then with delicious food with both color and flavor, isn't it beautiful?"
In the past few years, under the suppression of the Yi family, the business of Youranju has deteriorated. Some people have always persuaded the old man to change the style here, but the old man is not willing to let the leisurely residence become a place full of copper smell like Jixiang Restaurant. ”
Mu Fuyang, who was listening, raised his hand suspiciously and asked, "What's the matter with Guan Yi's family?" Why are they suppressing Youranju? ”
"Because the owner behind Jixiang Restaurant is the Yi family, or the Yi family in Tai'an Mansion." Xu Guangxuan stroked his long hair, but his expression was very calm.
"Yi family?" Mu Fuyang screamed, and then snorted indignantly, "No wonder the shopkeeper is so doggy, it turns out to be the Yi family." ”
Then he stared at Mu Xiwen and said happily: "Ah Wen, fortunately, we didn't cooperate with that auspicious restaurant." ”
Mu Xiwen also nodded thoughtfully.
"Xu Dongjia, why don't you listen to my advice first. Now this restaurant is not very popular, so it is better to transform it into a two-story building. The first floor is the place where the people eat every day, and the second floor is transformed into an elegant place for literati to drink and compose poems, taste tea and play the qin.
There can be a large synagogue, and the literati who like to be lively can gather in the synagogue to discuss the affairs of the world; Twelve more private rooms were added, and literati who liked tranquility could invite friends to gather.
At the same time, the reputation of Youranju is not as good as that of Jixiang Restaurant, in order to make a name, we can ask Mr. Tea in the teahouses in Anyang County to help us publicize, and tell those literati and ink writers that Youranju will add twelve private rooms, and now collect the name of the private room from all the people.
The requirements are consistent with the style of leisurely residence, and the name is closely related to December. Those who are selected can taste the new dish launched by Youranju today - Mudan Yu Hua Nong. ”
Mu Fuyang, Zhou Changhe and Mu Xing'er were dumbfounded when they heard it, and they all applauded. Xu Guangxuan put away his surprise and glanced at Mu Xiwen with appreciative and affirmative eyes.
The name of the private room is easy for him, but Mu Xiwen's method is undoubtedly a multi-kill, and more importantly, he uses the momentum of the majority of literati to promote Youranju with their reputation.
Everything is fine, only one ......
"What is Mu Dan Yu Hua Nong?" He asked very seriously.
