In the third year of Jianning, on July 28, it was a day of rest. After dozens of days of preparation, the Taixu Restaurant opened by the five families finally ushered in the opening!

Since the agreement to open the restaurant that day, the Hou Mansion surnamed Wu handed over all the matters related to the opening of the restaurant to Wu Yong, for which Wu Yong spent a lot of brain cells.

Not only customized dozens of sets of tables, chairs and benches, but also customized a lot of dishes, chopsticks, plates and plates, and even the decoration of the restaurant was carefully arranged by him.

Although the imperial court does not prohibit princes and nobles from opening industries, because merchants are lowly, they generally do not come forward in person, but choose their own cronies to manage and control them.

Originally, everyone was surprised to open a restaurant, and no one would think that the restaurant could make money, but after Zhuo Taijun's birthday, everyone changed their opinions, and in order to get a position as a miscellaneous man in a restaurant, many domestic servants begged to come to the master's house.

Even Zhuo Taijun, who has never asked much about things, arranged for two domestic servants to enter the restaurant as stewards.

After a period of night and day preparation, the renovation project of Taixu Restaurant is almost complete, and Wu Yong is very satisfied with his masterpiece.

In order to be perfect, Wu Yong also specially invited the four marquis to take Zhu Xian to the restaurant to inspect the situation, and by the way, also discuss the opening of the business.

When a group of six people came to Taixu Restaurant by carriage, Wu Yong led the five people around the restaurant, and they were surprised to find that it had only been seen for a month, and the restaurant had undergone earth-shaking changes both internally and externally.

This restaurant was bought by the five Hou Mansions, with a total of three floors, and the previous owner was on the verge of bankruptcy because of poor management, so the asking price was not high, but after Wu Yong's transformation, this restaurant suddenly became different.

First of all, there is the signboard at the door, at the beginning of buying this liquor store, the signboard of the liquor store is just an ordinary one, written

The cloth cover of the word "wine", and now, the signboard of the wine shop has been replaced by the inscription of Liu Hong, the son of heaven.

"Taixu Restaurant" has a few gilded characters! Secondly, the layout of the restaurant, before the renovation, the light in the restaurant was relatively dark, and the lobby was full of large and small tables and all kinds of old wine utensils... And now, after some transformation, these messy things are basically gone, replaced by new tables, chairs and benches, and all kinds of plates, especially those all white dishes, at a glance, it is called a pleasing to the eye!

In the lobby of the restaurant, all kinds of sundries and excess furnishings have also been removed, leaving only a small counter in the corner of the door, as for the rest of the restaurant, it is neatly divided into three neat areas, which looks extraordinarily neat!

At the end of the lobby, in the center, the craftsmen also built a five-foot platform according to Wu Yong's design.

In the future, if nothing else, the opening ceremony of Taixu Restaurant, as well as the subsequent performances of 100 operas, will be held on this high platform!

In addition, on the second floor of the restaurant, the craftsmen also demolished many redundant buildings in accordance with Wu Yong's requirements, and transformed the original buildings into many large and small private rooms, all of which are separately established rooms, and according to different grades, these private rooms are divided into different grades, especially the eight halls are the most elegant and extraordinary, and the recipes are also unique.

As for the third floor of the restaurant, it has been transformed into an open viewing platform, in which you can see the scene of the flow of people in the gold market in front and the Luoyang Palace in the back.

In the middle of the entire three floors, there are only a few compartments separated by screens. On the entire third floor, in addition to the view of Yan Shan, there are patches of blue and white walls on all sides, which in Wu Yong's plan are a major feature of the restaurant, which is dedicated to the virtuous and well-educated people.

Moreover, in order to facilitate the guests to go up and down the stairs and walk, Wu Yong also ordered the original old staircase to be demolished and new stairs were erected on both sides of the restaurant lobby.

In general, whether it is the layout, style, or even the way of operation, Taixu Restaurant is fundamentally different from the current general wine shop.

Nowadays, the liquor shops are excessively extravagant, and even officials with money cannot afford to consume them, let alone ordinary people.

Wu Yong's restaurant is just a place for customers to eat, drink and chat, and food is the only selling point of the restaurant, even ordinary people can come to the first floor to consume.

"Uncles, what do you think? My nephew made this restaurant what it is now, but are you still satisfied? Seeing that everyone was only looking left and right, Wu Yong on the side couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Satisfied, so satisfied!!" When Zhu Jun heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, and praised Wu Yong: "I didn't expect you to have such vision at such a young age, you really deserve to be the unicorn of my five-surname family!" As he spoke, he reached out and patted Wu Yong's shoulder, and said with emotion: "Thanks to you this time, otherwise I don't know when this restaurant will be opened!" ”

"Uh" Wu Yong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "Uncle praised it!" Thanks to your uncles, these are what boys should do! After reading the situation of the restaurant, everyone couldn't help but sigh that it was really a very wise choice to hand over the affairs of the restaurant to Wu Yong!

The current appearance of the restaurant has far exceeded everyone's original expectations, so after some discussion, the five of them decided to choose the nearest holiday day for the opening of the restaurant.

Wu Yong naturally has no objection to this. In the next few days, everyone in the Hou Mansion began to take action to prepare for the opening of the restaurant.

Once people are busy, time always flies, and in a blink of an eye, several days have passed in a hurry, and it is the day when the restaurant opens.

Early in the morning of July 28, when the sky had just dawned, Wu Yong took Zhu Yuan and many other brothers and sisters surnamed Hou to the restaurant by car.

As for the elders, they didn't come over because of their status. When Taixu Restaurant opened for the first time, it was natural to invite relatives and friends to come to the party.

And because the elders did not come forward, Wu Yong did not want to attract too much attention, so he only invited a few acquaintances of the same generation to the banquet to participate in the opening ceremony of the restaurant, including Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, Zhang Miao, Xu You and others.

However, what surprised Wu Yong was that after Yuan Shao and others heard that Wu Yong only invited a few of them, they invited relatives and friends to help Wu Yong.

After coming to the restaurant, Wu Yong began to take command, arranging for the servants and cooks to decorate the venue, prepare a meal and so on.

And his brothers and sisters also wanted to help, but they were stopped by Wu Yong and arranged for them to receive Yuan Shao and others on the third floor.

At that time, when the invitation was placed, Yuan Shao and others also explained that they would bring their sisters there, so Wu Yong also invited her sisters to help receive the female guests today.

In addition to setting up the venue and preparing wine and food, Wu Yong also had an extremely important task, that is, to discuss with Zhao Bo about the performance of a hundred operas.

During this time, Zhao Bo can be said to be very famous in the hundred opera industry, and the two shadow puppet plays he rehearsed, "The Legend of the White Snake" and "Tianxian Pei", can achieve the effect of thousands of empty alleys every time.

Many hundred opera performers came to ask for advice, and he did not hide his selfishness, but patiently taught everyone. As a result, many people have been blessed by him and have great respect for him.

No, as soon as Zhao Bo heard that Wu Yong wanted to find a group of hundred operas to perform when the restaurant opened, he patted his chest and promised: "Xiao Langjun can rest assured that the old man will handle it, and I guarantee that it will be done to your satisfaction." Wu Yong was skeptical, but how did he know about Zhao Bo's current influence.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the entire Luoyang opera practitioners were mobilized, and even the same project occurred, and many people competed for places in order to compete for places.

In the end, the team of 100 operas assembled by Zhao Bo can be said to be carefully selected top figures. Although this miscellaneous opera troupe, although it is only a temporary organization, it is not good at the music of Huang Zhong Dalu, so it is difficult to get into the Daya Hall, but because its hundred opera performances are very exciting, it is very popular and loved by the people in the market!

This is exactly the effect that Wu Yong wants. Therefore, when Wu Yong heard Uncle Zhao's report, he was very happy.

In order to express his gratitude to Uncle Zhao, Wu Yong personally wrote a new shadow puppet show called "Dou E's Injustice", and prepared to perform for the guests on the opening day of the restaurant.

Of course, the opening of the restaurant is not a trivial matter, all kinds of things are complicated and complicated, and as the person in charge, Wu Yong must not only coordinate the overall situation, but also take into account all things, as well as various problems in all aspects of the restaurant, so it is inevitable that he will be busy and busy!

At about the hour, just as Wu Yong was directing everyone to carry the ingredients and count the materials in the back kitchen, Zhu Yuan suddenly broke in, hurriedly found Wu Yong, and said to him with an anxious face: "Wu Yong, why are you still rubbing here?" Guests are starting to come to the door, come with me to welcome them! As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yuan stepped forward with an arrow, pulled Wu Yong without saying anything, and ran out of the door!

"Uh~" When Wu Yong was pulled to the door of the restaurant by Zhu Yuan with a confused face, he suddenly found that the sun was already hanging high in the sky at this time, and he saw Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others at a glance.

Yuan Shao and the others had been waiting for Wu Yong for a long time, and when they saw him coming over, they said with a smile: "Wu Yong, we have been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come out to greet me?" When Wu Yong heard this, he hurriedly straightened his shirt, straightened his head, and said with a smile: "I'm too busy today, I neglected a few brothers, please forgive me!" ”

"Little things, look at how many guests we bring you!" Everyone laughed and said. At the same time, many carriages were parked outside the door of Taixu Restaurant, and from time to time, there were also threes, threes, twos, gorgeously dressed guests, getting off the carriage and walking towards them!

Because most of the guests present were friends of Yuan Shao and others, Wu Yong himself was not familiar with these people, so whenever the guests came to the door, Yuan Shao and others took the initiative to come forward and greet each other, and then introduced Wu Yong to the guests who came to the banquet.

After this contact, Wu Yong met a lot of new friends through the relationship between Yuan Shao and others.

It was only at this time that Wu Yong was surprised to find that the breadth of their communication was far beyond his imagination.

Among these guests who came to the banquet, there were not only many relatives of the emperor, but also many children of the princely family, and there were also many sons and nephews of the three princes and nine Qing families, and these people greeted Wu Yong very politely.

Just when everyone was busy, a road suddenly gave way in front of the originally congested restaurant.

Wu Yong was still wondering what was going on, a luxurious carriage stopped in front of the Taixu Restaurant, and after a while, two young girls walked down from the car.

At a glance, Wu Yong recognized that these two were the two princesses of Emperor Huan, Liu Jian, the eldest princess of Yingyin, and Liu Xiu, the eldest princess of Yangzhai.

"I've seen two princesses!" Wu Yong hurriedly led everyone forward to salute. The two princesses grinned,

"You don't need us, we sneaked out of the palace today, just to see what is different about the restaurant where Wu Shiyu is!" As he spoke, the two walked hand in hand towards the Taixu Restaurant, leaving only everyone looking at each other.
