Ugly man is hard to marry

The guests on the rest of the tables were also curious, and when they saw someone eating, they hurriedly asked, "How is it? How does it taste?"

The man squinted his eyes and savored it carefully. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said, "Absolute! This dessert is absolutely amazing."

The rest of the people seemed to believe it or not, no matter how delicious a piece of dim sum can be, how good it is, they made a fuss.

They picked up their chopsticks one after another, picked them up and ate them. The audience was speechless for a while, and Wang Mingyuan's heart ached. Is this delicious or not?

After a while, I don't know who shouted "yes", followed by a continuous stream of applause, and the room was boiling, everyone said that the dim sum was delicious and delicious.

"Dude, another dish!"

Only two yuan for a table is not enough to eat. I have just teased out the gluttons. If I want to satisfy my hunger, I will have to buy another ten or eight yuan.

More and more people wanted white peonies, Wang Mingyuan was proud and joyful, standing in front of the counter, bent slightly, his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and the smile on his face was just right, neither flattering nor alienating, he He said in a loud voice: "Guest officers, this snack is a bonus. There is only one plate per table, so you can't give more. Small shops have to take care of their capital, right? If you want to eat well, please come back tomorrow, within three days , Snacks and appetizers are free.”

After hearing this, the guests had no choice but to let it go. They gave it for nothing, so they couldn't be shy and insist on it, and then went to try other dishes after muttering a few words.

This is also Fang Yunxuan's calculation. Don't give too many things, but everything must be delicate and attractive, so as to attract repeat customers.

The grand opening today, when Fang Yunxuan came out of the kitchen, Wang Mingyuan jumped up happily, and said happily: "Master, business is going well today, you didn't see that the house was full, the white peony dish you made , the guests all said it was good after eating it, and even said that you are better than the royal chef in the palace!"

Fang Yunxuan was so tired that his legs were weak. He was cooking in the kitchen, and he had a rough idea of ​​the number of orders. He knew that today's business must be good.

He took out the money box to settle the accounts, and sure enough, after excluding the cost and the things that came with today, the net profit was three or five taels of silver.

Wang Mingyuan was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, he pulled Brother Nan and jumped up and down.

Fang Yunxuan squeezed his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Why are you smirking? Today your uncle and the shopkeepers who do business on our street all came to congratulate you. Half of them can't be counted. Who can come to congratulate you every day depends on the actual situation." Let’s wait for three days to talk about the benefits.”

Sure enough, Fang Yunxuan was right. Three days later, Shijinlou’s business dropped by more than half. There was no free food, and the guests became picky. Only then did Fang Yunxuan take out his trump card, increasing the size of the dishes. A lot of effort has been put into the taste, just to attract more repeat customers.

There is only Fang Yunxuan's restaurant nearby, and the dishes are large and delicious, which is not inferior to big restaurants. After more than half a month of low tide, Shijinlou's business is slowly picking up, and guests come here admiringly. Come on, the lobby is always full when it's time for meals, and the net profit can be stabilized at more than one or two taels of silver throughout the day.

This is beyond Fang Yunxuan's expectations. He originally calculated that the cost would be sufficient, that he could earn food and rent, and that his father and son would be able to live comfortably.But as it is now, if he sticks to it for a year, he will be able to buy a shop and no longer need to rent other people's shops.

In addition to being happy, Fang Yunxuan began to think about adding a few new dishes. It doesn’t need to be too much, adding one every other month, so that guests can often eat new dishes, and there is always a sense of freshness and anticipation, so that the old customers will not be bored with the dishes. It can also attract new customers.

After getting busy, the days flew by, and two months later, Shijinlou gradually gained a firm foothold, and made a name for itself in the small Nancheng District.When merchants and people in the vicinity mentioned where to eat, the first choice was this Shijinlou.

There were too many guests, Fang Yunxuan couldn't handle it all by himself, so he hired two people to help in the kitchen. From then on, Fang Yunxuan could only cook with peace of mind, and had more time to think about new dishes.

Fang Yunxuan gradually got used to this kind of life, he was busy and fulfilling, so he had no time to think about it, and he cut off the occasional little thoughts, and he forced himself not to think of Du Yishan, not to think about him Is the injury all healed, don't think about his always cold face, don't think about the warmth of his slightly raised lips and slightly revealed smile.

In a few days, it will be the fifteenth day of the eighth month. Fang Yunxuan prepared a few gifts early and distributed them to the two kitchen assistants. , wait until sixteen and then go back to the shop.

It's rare for the master's family to be as generous as Fang Yunxuan, who gave both things and money. The two thanked each other and left happily.

It is not fashionable for people in this era to go to restaurants with the whole family during the New Year's Eve, especially during the [-]th day of the eighth lunar month and the Lunar New Year.

The restaurant will be closed tomorrow, Fang Yunxuan asked Wang Mingyuan to go home as well, brought him some food and supplies, and wrapped him two taels of silver, saying it was a meeting gift for his younger siblings.Wang Mingyuan was so grateful, he took the things and called out: "Master." He couldn't say anything.

When Brother Nan heard that Wang Mingyuan was going to leave, he immediately lost his temper. He pulled Wang Mingyuan's skirt with a bitter face, and refused to let him go no matter what.

Fang Yunxuan coaxed him, "Brother will be back the day after tomorrow."

Brother Nan had tears in his eyes, he turned his face away and said nothing, but he never let go, holding onto Wang Mingyuan tightly.

Wang Mingyuan was also reluctant to leave. He had a great time with Brother Nan. When he was learning how to cook with Fang Yunxuan, Brother Nan was always by his side, helping him with a piece of garlic and grabbing a handful of flour from time to time.

Fang Yunxuan forcefully hugged Brother Nan, "Mingyuan still has parents at home, you like brother and want him to accompany you, but his parents also like him and miss him. Brother Nan, don't be willful, otherwise Father doesn't love you anymore."

Brother Nan hummed aggrieved twice, then let go, and fell into Fang Yunxuan's arms, telling Wang Mingyuan to come back early.

Wang Mingyuan nodded again and again, "I'll be back after fifteen. The crabs in my field are getting fatter. I'll grab a basket and bring them back for Brother Nan to eat."

Fang Yunxuan hired a donkey cart, loaded all the things into the cart, and told Wang Mingyuan to be careful on the road, if he couldn't bear his parents, he could stay for a few more days and come back.

Wang Mingyuan finally cried. He got into the donkey cart and walked a long way, tears still falling down.

After sending Wang Mingyuan away, Fang Yunxuan and his son were the only ones left at home. The Shijin Building will be closed tomorrow, and there is no need to get up early. After two or three months of work, he suddenly felt relieved. After tossing and turning, I somehow thought of Du Yishan again.

People's memory is often time-limited. If you don't see a person for a while, your memory will become blurred, and your appearance will gradually fade away.But Du Yishan's face didn't seem to be affected by these routines, it was very clear and clear in Fang Yunxuan's mind, as if the two of them had never been separated for a moment.

Fang Yunxuan suddenly laughed, turned over, looked at Brother Nan who was sleeping beside him, tucked him in the quilt, and said to himself: "If I grow up like Brother Nan, I will definitely chase him back."

It's a pity... I can't expect anyone to like my current appearance.

After tossing and turning for a long time, Fang Yunxuan fell asleep in a daze at the second watch. Early the next morning, he got up and washed, and took Nan Geer out.

They have been in Guangning for so long, and Fang Yunxuan hasn't led Brother Nan to cross the street. The child went crazy as soon as he came out. He dragged Fang Yunxuan around, looking here, touching there, everything was new.

It's okay today, Fang Yunxuan has plenty of time to play with Brother Nan, and he is not restrained, following Brother Nan's temperament, wherever the child wants to go, Fang Yunxuan will go with him.

After playing for a day and traveling around half of Guangning Mansion, Brother Nan felt exhausted. Fang Yunxuan was almost tired, and the child's physical strength should not be underestimated. He has practiced these days, and stayed in the kitchen One day, I didn't feel much. Today I ran around with Brother Nan, and I was exhausted after only half a day. Later, I simply asked for forgiveness, and was laughed at by Brother Nan who scratched his nose.

As the sun set, the father and son returned to Shijin Building.Fang Yunxuan made two dishes and one soup, and ate it with Brother Nan.When the moon rose, the father and son climbed up to the roof and set up a soft couch and a small table on the roof. On the table were some candied fruit, snacks, a bottle of pear blossom white and a plate of moon cakes of various flavors.

Fang Yunxuan was half lying on the soft couch, Nan brother leaned on his arms, one big and one small looked at the bright full moon in the sky.

Huaguang poured down like running water, and the front and back of the house were covered with a bright white halo. The laughter of the neighbors came from the quiet, and the sweetness was warm and peaceful.

After the fifteenth day, everything returned to normal, and Shijinlou's business was still booming, and the number of customers only increased.

In September, when the crabs are fattening, Fang Yunxuan added a new dish of drunken crabs to the store.The dishes are in accordance with the season and the occasion, together with the special sweet-scented osmanthus wine made by Shijinlou, which attracts many literati and inkmen to come and taste it. , Shijinlou became more famous in Guangning Mansion.

When the business is good, troubles follow. Wang Mingyuan found that recently there is always a group of people who stop at the entrance of the Shijin Building every day when it is time to eat.After noticing it a few times, it really wasn't that he was thinking too much.This group of people was sneaky and lingered in front of the store, sometimes staying for several hours.There are a dozen or so of them, and they don't look like good people when they look at their clothes. If they don't wear good clothes, they all have their chests exposed, and you can vaguely see from the hem of their clothes. generation.

Maybe a robber.Wang Mingyuan was startled, and hurried in to talk to Fang Yunxuan.

Fang Yunxuan came out with him, and secretly stood in the dark to observe. There was indeed a group of people at the door. They didn't look like they came to eat, but they looked like they were finding fault.

Fang Yunxuan frowned and asked, "How long has it been?"

Wang Mingyuan recalled, "I noticed it for five or six days, and I didn't know if I came before."

Fang Yunxuan thought for a while, and told Wang Mingyuan not to panic: "I don't know if this group of people came after us, it's better not to alarm them, do what you have to do, if they don't come in, just pretend it's nothing. "

Wang Mingyuan was frightened, shook his body and nodded, then turned back to the lobby and continued to greet the guests.
