The emperor coughed dryly and said in a deep voice: "Go ahead, be careful in everything." ”

The two thanked them happily and saluted and retired.

The emperor looked at the back of the two leaving, and this is leaving?

Why not invite him?

Hexagram oven roast duck, shabu mutton, I also want to go!

Chapter 159

Zhao Bantou, who has always been embarrassed by Jiuweifang, also saw the advertisement, his eyes almost fell out, and he immediately went to the house to ask the scribe, what is the situation with this He Laosi, why instead of closing the door, the pheasant turned into a phoenix and opened a big restaurant.

The scrivener of the household took out the backup deed and license documents, and found that Jiuweifang has now changed hands, to be precise, the owner has changed from one to two, in addition to He Laosi, there is also a man named Meng Dehai. As for the deed of sharing, there is also an additional one named Xu Sanduo who occupies 30% of the shares.

Meng Dehai and they know that the entire Beijing restaurant belongs to the Meng family, and he is a very rich businessman, Xu Sanduo's name is so cheesy, and he is also a businessman when he hears it, so thinking about it, it must be two businessmen who saw the business opportunity, bought He Laosi's roast duck restaurant, and took him to make it bigger.

"You still dare to call this name, and you don't come to honor our brothers." Zhao Bantou said hatefully: "There are a few stinky money with their nostrils facing the sky, I want him to know who is in charge on the ground in the capital!" ”

Boss Meng's aesthetics are always steady and vigorous, especially when I heard that Huai'an got the emperor's handwritten letter to hang in the lobby, and the lobby was decorated magnificently.

Huai An listened to the account report and inhaled in distress: "Fortunately, I still have some family funds now, otherwise it is really not enough for him." ”

Of course, the elegant dining environment is also an important factor in enhancing reputation, so Huai'an did not stop him, after all, their positioning is a mid-to-high-end restaurant.

Huai'an never told outsiders about his shares, so on the first day of the lunar month, he did not participate in anything, but was only responsible for accompanying the prince.

He was accompanied by his cousin and sister, who he arranged in advance for the upstairs private room Qingsong Pavilion, with He Wen and He Wu patrolling the door, and two plainclothes guards dressed as housekeepers guarding the door.

After settling the prince and his family, Huai'an went downstairs to say hello to the two partners, and it was just time to unveil the plaque, and many guests outside the door watched the ceremony, blocking half of Chang'an Avenue.

Huai'an opened his eyes and saw that the marketing method of selling feelings was reliable, and it was money as far as his eyes could see!

Boss He had never seen such a scene, his legs were weak, and a cold sweat broke out: "You can't entertain so many people, right?" ”

He looked at the twenty sets of tables and chairs in the lobby, plus the eight boxes on the second floor, a total of twenty-eight tables could be entertained, but there were two or three hundred people standing outside.

Boss Meng indifferently pointed to a bench at the door of the store, and stood at the door with a stack of cards in his hand to welcome the guests: "Childe has long thought of it, he can entertain as much as he can, and the extra people will be given number plates, wait outside, go to one table and enter one table, and come back another day if he can't wait." ”

Boss He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "It's going to offend people, right?" ”

"How so? The more delicious you can't eat, the more you remember. Boss Meng said: "Besides, the license plate is valid for three months, and you can come and eat it at any time in February next year." ”

Boss He nodded suspiciously.

As soon as the auspicious time arrived, firecrackers and gongs and drums rang out, and the pot-bellied Boss Meng and the thin and short Boss He climbed the ladder in person, and on one side, the red cloth was uncovered, revealing a plaque made of ebony, and three vigorous and powerful characters were written on it - Jiuweifang.

The onlookers applauded continuously.

Boss He was just about to turn back to the back kitchen to be busy, when he saw a team of officials shouting at him to come this way, and without saying a word, he began to pick people up: "Scattered, scattered!" Don't gather here! ”

Everyone was thrown into a mess, but the law did not blame the public, and still wanted to stay and watch the excitement. Zhao Bantou, who was the leader, pushed aside the crowd and shouted: "I received a report from the official, someone is gathering here to make trouble, who is the owner here, come with us!" ”

People look at each other, when will the opening ceremony be considered a gathering of people to make trouble?

But in front of the officials, no one dared to squeak, so they could only whisper and talk, and then look at the two bosses.

"Come on! Take Meng Dehai and He Laosi away. Zhao Ban gave the first order, and the left and right really came up with shackles to get people.

Huai'an was just about to speak, but heard Zhao Bantou say: "Wait! ”

He walked into the store with a knife, and the onlookers did not dare to provoke him, so they all got out of the way.

At this time, the twenty sets of tables and chairs in the lobby were wiped clean and neatly arranged, and the cold dishes presented on the table had been served, just waiting to open the door to welcome guests. Zhao Bantou held the corner of a table, and with a "bang", the table and chairs overturned, and the dishes fell to the ground, making a mess.

"Smash me." Zhao Bantou said word by word.

"Wait!" Huai'an walked in across the threshold and walked face to face in front of Zhao Bantou.

"Huh? Why are you again? Zhao Bantou was surprised.

"I should ask you this, sir, every time I go out to eat, how can I run into you such an unlucky dog?" Huai'an asked rhetorically.

"You ......"

"Arrest people, right, do you have a bad ticket from the government?" Huai'an asked.

"I ......"

"Dare to arrest people without evidence or not, believe it or not, master, I will sue you for a good man who oppresses him!" Huai'an Road.

Zhao Bantou looked back, the servants seemed to be a little hesitant, and he said angrily: "Don't listen to him pretending to smash me!" ”

"Yes!"

"Smash it here first." Huai'an strode over to the wall in the center of the lobby.

The lobby is full of elegant paintings and carvings by Boss Meng, only the middle one, which is covered with red silk and has not yet been revealed.

Huai'an ripped off the red silk, and the "nine flavors" mentioned by the emperor himself were carved into wooden plaques and hung in the most eye-catching position. Huai'an hugged his fist towards the north: "This is the handwriting of today's saint, if you really dare to smash it today, people will take it away with you, if you don't dare to smash it, you will crawl out for the master!" ”

Zhao Bantou opened his mouth, his first reaction was naturally disbelief, how could the emperor give an inscription to a folk restaurant, and it was not an imperial shop. But the people outside the door were excited, and they came in one after another to pay homage to the Holy Emperor's pen.

Some people also whispered: "Boss Meng is amazing, the signboard of 'Come to a Product' next door is written by Shengshang himself." ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, who would dare to make up such a thing, the head doesn't want it?"

Zhao Bantou was stunned, He Wen and He Wu came down from both sides of the stairs with more than a dozen young men dressed as small servants, and stood in a row behind Huai'an.

Zhao Ban's head and legs were weak.

"Put them in shackles for me, and put them in chains at the door." Huai'an said: "Who is your boss?" Yang Tuiguan, right? When the old man comes to collect it himself, when will he let you go. ”

Everyone behind him responded in unison, snatched the shackles brought by the other party, and directly shackled them to Zhao Bantou's neck, and then found a thick hemp rope from the backyard and tied up the servants one by one.

For a while, there were more onlookers, and they laughed when they saw that the yacha who usually bullied and dominated the market were tied into zongzi skewers and squatted in a row.

The guy who ran the hall quickly cleaned up the debris on the ground, lifted up the tables, chairs and benches, and rearranged the cold dishes.

Boss Meng took the opportunity to bow his hand to everyone: "Let you be frightened, today you will come to the store and send a pot of lotus white to each table, which will surprise everyone!" ”

"Good!" The applause was everywhere, Huai'an looked up at the prince and his siblings behind the railing on the second floor, and winked at them, and several people enjoyed watching it and gave him a thumbs up.

The rest of the matter will be handed over to Meng and He, Huai'an showed up too much, climbed the stairs back to the box, and enjoyed the food quietly with his partners.

"Huai'an." Someone called him from behind.

Huai'an turned around, it turned out to be Lin Xiuping, Zhang He and other sons of the family, and there was a new face, Huai'an didn't know. They were also in the crowd just now, and they witnessed the scene of him cleaning up Zhao Bantou all the way.

Huai'an first asked Huaiyuan to accompany the prince, and was dragged by a few friends to the box to chat a few words. After a detailed discussion, I learned that the face of the student was called Gu Tong, sixteen or seventeen years old, a native of Beizhili, and was elected to the national prison as a tribute student.

After introducing the two compartments, Huai'an knew that the Gu family was a local clan, and the family background was also very prominent, and Gu Tongcai had learned well, passed the hospital examination at a young age, and was also named the head of the case.

Huai'an observed him, his appearance was upright and elegant, and he had the arrogance of a good student, and he couldn't help sighing, he was a big brother again.

"Huai'an, what is your relationship with the owner of this shop?" Lin Xiuping asked curiously.

"Friends." Huai An smiled: "Later, you mention my name for a discount." ”

Lin Xiuping nodded, and tactfully reminded him not to get too close to Shang Jia and affect Shi Lin's reputation.

Huai'an smiled, and generously admitted that his mother was a businessman, and his father and his brother's reputation were good.

Gu Tong also said: "Confucianism does not check, with industry and commerce as the last, in fact, clothing, food, housing, transportation, rich country and strong army, everything is inseparable from industry and commerce, as long as it is not unearned and tyrannical, it should not be distinguished between 369 and so on." ”

Several people heard such views for the first time and praised them.

Lin Xiuping said to Huai'an with some apologies: "It's me who is abrupt, I said the wrong thing, and I will punish myself." ”

Huai'an never felt unhappy that others held different opinions, and smiled and waved his hand indifferently.

At this time, there was a table of scholars wearing straight shirts drinking downstairs, and Lan Xinyue, who had come to help the fun, sat on the wooden platform, babbling and singing fashionable words in the market. A few scholars interrupted rudely with the help of wine, asking her to sing some stories with the title of the gold list to beg for a lottery, and threw a few pieces of broken silver on her.

Lan Xinyue was about to leave with the pipa in her arms, but was rudely stopped by several people, and the noise alarmed the upstairs.

Looking down at the railing, Huai An frowned, and the rest of his friends were a little angry, and Shulin Xiuping was the most angry, and his face turned pale. Fortunately, Boss Meng came forward in time to persuade the scholars to sit back to eat peacefully, and Lan Xinyue also endured this breath and sat back on the bench to adjust her emotions.

A short scholar suddenly said that he wanted to pair up, and immediately stood on the stool and said loudly: "A pair of jade arms and a thousand pillows." ”

There was no one at the table to make a couplet, just a burst of laughter. Because the full sentence of this original poem is "A pair of jade arms and a thousand pillows, half a red lip is tasted by ten thousand guests", which is used here to imply that Lan Xinyue is a woman who can be a man.

Lan Xinyue's face turned from blue to white, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

After a while, Xiao Er came out of the Qingsong Pavilion upstairs, holding a note in his hand, standing in the lobby and saying to the scholar: "This son, the guests upstairs have a lower couplet, and the lower couplet is: "The three-foot husband is half a person." ”

There was silence in the lobby for a while, and then the hall was full of applause.

A pair of jade arms and a thousand pillows, a three-foot husband and a half-man.

Literally, it means to ridicule him for his short stature, only half of it, as for the upper half or the lower half, depending on personal understanding, what is more subtle is the lower half of the three words "ruler, zhang, husband", all of which are the word "person", I wish him to become a complete person as soon as possible.

Huai'an sneered, such an interesting pair, it is most likely not from the hand of cousin Huaiyuan, but cousin Huaiwei.

Chapter 160

The little scholar's face turned from white to blue, and finally his face turned red, and under the ridicule of everyone, he threw his chopsticks and fled.

The people at the same table also blushed, and wanted to leave with him, but they were reluctant to come up with the fragrant roast duck, so they cheekily laughed with everyone.

Huai'an stood on the second floor, watching Lan Xinyue wipe her tears with a handkerchief, and personally went upstairs to thank the guests who relieved her.

There were many laughs in the Qingsong Pavilion, and the guards in civilian clothes blocked the door and went in first to report, For the safety of the prince, Huaiwei came out to see her.

Lan Xinyue bowed down to her, and Huai Wei hurriedly supported her: "No thanks, no thanks, you don't know me?" Every year when my grandmother celebrates her birthday, she asks you to sing a song. ”

Lan Xinyue suddenly realized, and said in a low voice: "It turned out to be Miss Shen, thank you Second Miss for helping." ”

The two of them muttered a few words, and then they went their separate ways, Huai Wei turned back to the box, and the man brought in the jujube red sizzling roast duck, and there was a burst of cheers in the room.

Huai'an turned his head, only to see Lin Xiuping staring intently at the closed box door.

Huai An patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Xiuping, don't worry, the food will be served quickly." ”

He also thought that Lin Xiuping was watching roast duck.

Who knew that the latter grabbed the guy and took out his name post: "Please give a good word, in Xia Lin Xiuping, Shuntianfu Xuexuansheng, can you go in and pay a visit to the one just now...... Son. ”
