As soon as the shopkeeper He went, there was no news, and the man waited for a day, and in the evening, he still didn't see He Yunzhang come back, so he could only order his workers to disperse, and come back tomorrow, and went to the restaurant to find Wang Xinghe and Wang Suwen, the two young owners.

"Not seen for a day? Went to the government? Wang Xinghe frowned and asked.

The business of this restaurant is very fancy to him, he also went to Liu Ji to eat, to be honest, the price of the food inside is not expensive, the money for listening to a song, a table is only three or five taels of silver, but the flow of customers is huge, busy from morning to night, those guys are also working in shifts for two days and one day, three shifts cycle, is an excellent idea.

The lobby on the first floor has the most people, there are 30 tables inside and out, 13 private rooms on the second floor, there are 8 tables in the hall, a total of 51 tables, each table according to two taels of silver, one down is a hundred taels of silver, in addition to labor and material loss, thirty taels is enough, there are still 70 taels left, double in the morning, quadruple at noon and night, the net income is 350 taels, a month is 1,750 taels, 30 days a month, the net income is 52,500 taels, in addition to the entertainment of 2,000 taels, there are 50,000 taels left, and a year is 600,000 taels.

After Wang Xinghe finished calculating this account, he decided to open a restaurant, the chef was invited from Yangzhou, and he wanted to eat what Hangzhou didn't have, these days must be coming, he licked his face and asked for 10,000 taels of silver from home, and he wanted to do something with real money.

The guy nodded: "It's the government office, but what is the specific matter, and the shopkeeper is in a hurry, and I haven't asked clearly." ”

"Is there anything special going on today?" Wang Xinghe thought about it again and frowned and asked.

The guy also pondered for a moment, and finally remembered Jiang Ning, and he didn't know if it was a special thing, so he said: "Jiang Ning and the eldest lady...... Obu ...... Wang Ruoyan, the two of them passed by, said a few words to Shopkeeper He, and gave the blacksmith five taels of silver and a piece of paper, does this count? ”

No matter how stupid Wang Xinghe is, he can think of what He Yunzhang is doing, they turned out to be Wang Ruoyan's buddies, Wang Ruoyan is not from the Wang family now, it stands to reason that Wang Ruoyan represented the Wang family at that time, and now they are still the Wang family's buddies, and they are doing the same now, but it can also be understood that they are Wang Ruoyan's buddies, the owners have left, they are leaving, isn't it normal?

"Quick, prepare the horse, go and ask Lord Liu to ......"

He Yunzhang and Zhang Zhijing picked up the wine glasses, touched them, and ate two bites of side dishes, He Yunzhang took out the paper covered with the red seal of the government.

"How? If it weren't for the reminder of the eldest lady today, we would have almost suffered a dumb loss......" He Yunzhang said with a smile.

Zhang Zhijing picked it up and looked at it carefully under the lamp twice: "Okay, okay, the eldest lady and aunt are dead, but our young owner doesn't let go of this little braid?" With such a young owner, hehe, the two of us have a bright future......"

This Zhang Zhijing obviously said the opposite, and handed the paper back to He Yunzhang and said, "What do other people say?" ”

"Bear with it first, wait until the time is ripe, and then it's not too late to go, let's go over like this, empty-handed?" He Yunzhang said: "Gongzi treats us well, when we were in Jinling, such a crisis, I never said that we should be left alone, and if we were replaced by others, how could we still take care of our life and death?" ”

"Hey, it's also fate, if it weren't for the eldest lady, those three chases, would we be able to live until now?" Zhang Zhijing shook his head and sighed.

"Isn't it? What should Ming'er do, when she leaves, she has to give a big gift to the eldest lady. He Yunzhang raised his head, and drank all the spirits in the wine cup.

But on the second day, He Yunzhang appeared at the construction site of the restaurant as usual, not only did not slack off, but also worked harder and harder, which surprised Wang Xinghe, who was present at the scene, but he couldn't find fault with it, so he had to give up.

But said Jiang Ning, since the wedding day, no one in the entire city of Hangzhou does not know, who does not know? Taishou and the general invited Jiang Ning to the banquet every once in a while, the dean of the academy delegated power, and Qi Yunmeng was in charge, and Jiang Ning was also invited to talk about poetry every few days.

On the north side of Liuji, across the road, Jiang Ning bought a three-story restaurant directly at a high price of 1,500 taels of silver.

began the intensive decoration work, and after he invited Qi Yunmeng, he drew the appearance of the hot pot and hid it in the courtyard.

"Brother, is this what you call hot pot?" Tan Zhen was chewing the mutton happily, wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, and the maid behind him was fanning.

Jiang Ning said: "How does it taste?" ”

"Okay, good, it's really delicious in the world, delicious in the world......" Tan Zhen was full of praise, and asked again: "Are Ma Liu and Shaojie back?" Why is it so slow? The hot pot carefully prepared by Brother Zichuan, they don't eat it, but they won't have a chance......"

"What is delicious, across the yard, I smell it outside the wall, and what is the eldest brother eating here behind my brother's back?" Guo Shaojie smiled, walked in the door, saw Jiang Ning, and hurriedly arched his hand: "Brother Zichuan, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed." ”

Jiang Ning also got up and said, "Brother Shaojie, I miss Jinling very much." ”

"You two are polite, I want to taste what kind of good thing this is......" Ma Liu was not polite, sat down and picked up the mutton and put it in the pot, learning from Tan Zhen's way to shabu the meat.

"This ...... This is good, big brother, you taste this ......" Ma Liu pushed the fried chili dish in front of Tan Zhen.

"This is a chili dish, this is sesame, this is garlic, and this is ......" Jiang Ning introduced in turn: "This is the bottom of the clear soup pot, as well as the bottom of the mutton pot and the bottom of the red oil pot......"

"And so many?" Tan Zhen frowned: "It's over, where can I eat?" ”

"The younger brother's shop is preparing, if the adults are free, when the time comes, they will give an order, deliver it to the door, and eat it directly." Jiang Ning said with a smile.

"Can it be delivered to your door? You're really thoughtful......" Tan Zhen nodded.

"In the future, every five days, the house will eat a pot, have you written it down?" Tan Zhen commanded.

Guo Shaojie tasted it and was full of praise: "This hot pot, if it is put in the south and sweats, the moisture on this body will be empty in a row, good things, good things......"

After a few days, the same words were also full of praise in Tong Shaoyou's Taishou Mansion, but I heard that Tan Zhen ate it first, but Tong Shaoyou was not happy, and he had to drink two cups of Jiang Ning today to make amends, Jiang Ning had to tell him about the things that he had fought with Tan Zhen in Jinling before, and Tong Shaoyou let Jiang Ning go, but asked him to let him taste it as soon as he had a new variety.

Jiang Ning used this unique means to raise the price of hot pot, and as soon as he made a move, he aimed at the gentry and nobles, and even feasted Qi Yunmeng in the academy, drank three rounds, and chanted a poem, which was even more praiseworthy.

After several sweeps, officialdom gradually formed a comment that "it is better not to listen to music for three days than not to be hot pot for three days".

"What is this?"

"Ao, this is the first song, it is estimated that it is about fifty degrees......" Jiang Ning took out a pot of pungent spirits, but he had just distilled it......
