Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

When we arrived at the restaurant that was about to open, we saw that the internal structure had already taken shape. The rough beams and columns revealed the magnificent layout that was about to be presented. The sweat of the craftsmen seemed to have given new vitality to these buildings.

"Hey, old man, have you heard? The Chenxianglou next door is going to open for business tomorrow, so we should be almost ready here!"

Xu Liyun stood on the marble threshold that had not yet been completely paved and shouted to Zhang Laoer who was busy.

In the past few days, the ten strong young men she specially hired in Niu Shangpo have become their right-hand men in delivering information, traveling back and forth between major markets and restaurants to ensure that all supplies arrive in time.

Zhang Laoer wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied with a smile: "We can indeed open the door to welcome guests, but for the sake of good luck, we still have to find a good day!"

Before he finished speaking, the carriage carrying the three siblings slowly drove into the stable in the backyard under the guidance of the servants.

Afterwards, the family began to carefully tour the restaurant that was about to become the fruit of their labor of love.

"Dad, Mom, what are you discussing?"

The little girl leaned forward and asked curiously, her eyes sparkling with childlike innocence and curiosity.

"Children, come here. Your mother heard that Chenxianglou will officially open for business tomorrow. Your father said that we should also find a good day to open the store to get good luck."

Xu Liyun explained with a smile, her eyes full of anticipation for a new life.

Zhang Ming pointed to the ancient and quiet Hong Temple next to the restaurant. "Isn't there a Taoist temple next to us? Why don't we ask the Taoist priests there to burn incense for us and pick an auspicious day."

The couple looked at each other and nodded without hesitation.

On such an important matter, their faith in traditional metaphysics never wavered in the slightest.

While Zhang Laoer was leading the servants to familiarize themselves with the layout and operation procedures of the restaurant, Zhang Wuya, her parents and brother sat in the makeshift rest area and began a relaxed conversation.

"Mother, I paid special attention to it. Those twenty sets of silk bedding were prepared for the guest rooms on the third floor. I carefully placed them on our carriage. When changing and cleaning them, you must remind the maids not to be careless."

Zhang Wuya's careful reminder made Xu Liyun's eyes flash with approval.

"Wu Ya is right. We were so busy hiring accountants, cooks, and waiters that we almost forgot about dishwashers and laundry workers."

Xu Liyun tapped the makeshift tabletop gently, her eyes showing her excitement. "But these are simple jobs, and we should be able to find the right people soon. Maybe some of the aunties in Taohua Village will be willing to do it."

Soon, Zhang Laoer, the chefs and the shopkeeper Boss Jin completed their final familiarity with the restaurant and arranged their respective accommodations. Everyone gathered in the front hall.

"Mingyi, look, this door plaque is still empty! I asked the carpenter to prepare a few wooden boards in advance. Hurry up and write the names of the kitchen, toilet, and each room on them."

Xu Liyun handed over a piece of ground ink. Zhang Mingyi took the brush and wrote steadily and powerfully.

The names of the rooms on the first floor are all based on trees in the forest, such as "Pine and Crane Longevity" and "Shadows of Sophora japonica". The second floor uses a romantic moonlight series, "The Crescent Moon Just Appears" and "The Moon is Full in the West Tower", while the third floor is an imagination of a fairyland in the clouds, "Yunmengze" and "Walking in the Clouds".

After writing, the poetic doorplates were spread out on the table to dry, and the servants would hang them up one by one in the afternoon.

Manager Liu volunteered to be in charge of supervision, after all, he was literate.

"Xia Yue, go to the kitchen and tell the chefs to unload the kitchen utensils from the carriage. There are pots and pans, kitchen knives and cutting boards, and various spice bottles and jars on it. Be careful with them."

Xiao Youniang proudly spoke of these items that she carefully selected online.

At the same time, Xu Liyun and Zhang Laoer hurried to Hong Temple, hoping to get an auspicious day for opening from the Taoist priest.

The three siblings were just planning to return home to rest for a while, but unexpectedly Ling Wen, along with Hu Ling and several servants, appeared in front of the restaurant carrying large and small bags of gifts.

Ling Wen was as gentle and elegant as ever. He said softly, "Young Lady, I heard from Hu Ling that your restaurant is going to open soon, so I came here specially to congratulate you."

"Thank you for your blessing. Why don't you have a meal here tonight and try our restaurant's cuisine to see if there is any room for improvement."

Xiao Youniang was about to stand up to greet him, but then she sat down again. It was obvious that her legs were a little sore.

Upon seeing this, a young waiter immediately brought a pot of hot tea with a smile and filled it up for Ling Wen with skillful technique.

This was Xu Liyun's instruction. Whenever dealing with guests, the first thing to do was to smile, serve them tea, and then ask about their needs.

Zhang Wuya was watching this clever and diligent servant from the side. "What's your name?"

"My name is Guiping, and I'm from Lanbaixuan. If there's anything you need me to do, just let me know!"

His answer was clear and concise, revealing a sense of cleverness.

The three siblings looked at each other and secretly admired their mother's unique vision in selecting people.

"Guiping, you did a great job. From now on, the reception work at the front hall will be handed over to you!"

Zhang Wuya praised.

"Thank you very much, young lady, for the promotion!"

Guiping answered gratefully, with a respectful and sincere attitude.

At this time, Xu Liyun and his wife came back from Hong Temple, holding a lifelike statue of the God of Wealth in their hands. They solemnly placed it on the small shrine next to the cash register, offered fruits and smoked incense. The two of them worshipped respectfully, and seemed to have more faith in these traditional rituals.

Amid the smoke of cigarettes, they finally noticed Ling Wen's arrival. After some pleasantries, Xiao Youniang took the opportunity to ask her mother, "Mom, when will our restaurant open?"

"Taoist Master Fufeng calculated that five days from now will be an auspicious day, and I guarantee that there will be a flood of customers that day."

Xu Liyun acted mysteriously, with her five fingers together, as if implying that the secret could not be revealed.

"Haha, the incense money must have been quite a bit, that's why the Taoist priest's words sound so good to me. Otherwise, it must have cost a lot to invite the God of Wealth!"

Zhang Ming made a joke, hitting the nail on the head, causing people around him to laugh.

Zhang Laoer was a man who valued social skills. He glanced lightly in the air, as if he wanted to take into account the thoughts of everyone present. Then he spoke slowly, "If our newly opened restaurant wants to have a good omen, we must follow the ancient teachings and send out invitations to inform friends in the surrounding areas to make it lively and popular. Mingyi, you are smart, so I'll leave it to you to handle this matter."

Zhang Mingyi did not answer immediately. He sat there quietly, his hands never stopping. The walnut shells cracked lightly between his fingers, and the kernels inside were plump and tempting, as if he was confident about the work that was about to begin.

"Mother, you can also lend a hand, let's check the invitation list together. Old neighbors like the Jiang family and Mr. Zhang's family should not be left out. Mr. Tan Yulin should also be invited. Oh, look at my memory. Ling Wen is already here, so let's skip it from the list."

When Zhang Laoer said this, he chuckled twice in embarrassment, looking a bit honest and cute.
