My Favorite Manly Husband

Shen Laifu has been a cook for several years, and has seen many restaurants and inns, but he has never seen such a strange and eye-catching restaurant.

It doesn't have anything to do with magnificence, but the seats in the lobby are orderly, surrounded by green leaves and red flowers, and you feel comfortable just looking at them, not to mention that the seats that form a space of their own are so elegantly decorated.

The seats are well arranged, and other details of the restaurant are also handled with great care.The teapots, teacups and dishes on the table are all printed with a striking "Fu" character, which is even more impressive.And the shop waiter, who was wearing an all-green shirt with the word "Fu" embroidered on his chest, looked energetic...

Shen Laifu didn't know where a scholar came up with so many wonderful ideas. At this moment, the admiration in his heart was like the water of the East River.

"Shen...Shen Yan, I want to ask whether our vegetable prices should be raised a little bit?" Shen Laifu looked at the new menu sign, his eyes almost fell out of shock.

"Our food is so delicious, and this restaurant is so unique, it doesn't look like ordinary people would patronize, but the price of this dish is also..." The best restaurant in the county is Changsheng Restaurant, but whether it is a restaurant The layout of the restaurant is still the taste of the dishes, Shen Laifu thinks that their Tongfu Restaurant can surpass Changsheng Restaurant by a few streets!A good meal at Changsheng Restaurant costs one tael of silver, but he did the math just now, and their restaurant only costs five or six hundred yuan, how can this work!

Shen Yanbei explained to him: "Because our restaurant is not low-grade, ordinary people will have scruples and dare not come in, so taking advantage of the opening ceremony, the price of the food is deliberately lowered two days before the opening. This is In order to attract customers, it is also to buy word-of-mouth and publicity for our Tongfu Restaurant." He is not worried about losing money due to the low price of food in the past two days, there are not too few rich people in the county town, and not too many poor people.In the past two years, the weather has been good, and ordinary people have surplus food.His restaurant is full of freshness, and ordinary people are willing to spend money to watch it.After seeing the excitement and tasting the dishes, the reputation of his restaurant will spread in two days, and those who can really afford it will naturally come to patronize in the future.

Shen Laifu suddenly realized, the way he looked at Shen Yanbei changed.He was worried that Shen Yanbei, a scholar, was not good at management before, but now he seems to be very smart, even the desire of ordinary people to get cheap and love to join in the fun is included.You really can't tell what you look like!

With everything ready, Shen Yanbei picked an auspicious day to prepare for opening.

In the early morning of that day, a newly opened restaurant on Changchun Street, the busiest place in the county, was uncovered by someone amidst bursts of festive firecrackers, and the red silk on the plaque was uncovered. displayed in front of people.

Some people noticed this place when the restaurant was being renovated, and now they go up to inquire about it as soon as it opens.

"Shopkeeper Liu? Why is your owner suddenly so willing to spend a lot of money to redecorate the restaurant? Could it be that the sun is coming out from the west?" The former owner of the restaurant is well-known for being stingy in the county. I thought the restaurant had changed hands, but seeing The original shopkeeper, the visitor couldn't help but feel strange.

Shopkeeper Liu stroked his beard and laughed twice: "The owner has changed, today is the big day of our Tongfu restaurant, the new owner said that in order to celebrate the opening of the restaurant, guests who come to the restaurant for dinner in the past two days can enjoy a discount Price." At this point, shopkeeper Liu paused, and pretended to be profound: "Guest officer, if you are interested, you can go in and have a look."

"Hey, is there such a good thing?" The visitor became even more curious.

"I said shopkeeper Li, seeing your mysterious face, could it be that there is something hidden in this restaurant?" Another person joked.

"It's hard to say what is hidden inside, but our Tongfu restaurant is not an ordinary restaurant, and it will definitely satisfy you, guest officer."

"Yeah, I'm going to give you a face today if I say this to you!"

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and spread his hands: "Please come inside!"

As soon as the visitor entered the door, he was immediately shocked by the different styles of the layout in the restaurant.

"This...why does it look like a garden?"

The visitor looked at everything around with great interest, and the energetic shop waiter in Tsing Yi came forward and said, "Good morning, guest officer, where do you want to sit?" There are [-] tables in the lobby, as the first A door-to-door customer can choose any seat!

"Your store is so beautiful..." The visitor looked around, and finally chose a seat by the window to sit down.

"Guest officer, what do you want to eat?" the waiter asked respectfully.

The visitor sat in the small space, looked around, and it was extremely novel.

"What do you guys eat here? I haven't had breakfast yet!"

There is a wall in the lobby, with many small wooden signs hanging on it, and the names of various dishes are written on the small wooden signs.The waiter in the shop asked the people who came here what they meant, and recommended a few breakfasts.

Dishes arrive quickly.Staring at the steaming porridge that seemed to be fragrant and soft, as well as the delicate breakfast, the visitor was stunned, unable to start.

Guests came in one after another, and everyone was fascinated by everything in front of them like the first guest to enter the door...

In the private room on the second floor, Shen Yanbei and Gu Changfeng were having breakfast.The restaurant opened today, as the owner, it is impossible for him to be absent.

"Come and taste this." Shen Yanbei picked up a soup dumpling with chopsticks and put it in Gu Changfeng's bowl, and then showed him how to eat it. "Bite a small hole in the skin first, drink the soup before eating the buns. Be careful not to burn your mouth."

Tongfu Restaurant is a modern restaurant, mainly engaged in morning tea and rice market.Not to mention the food market, the morning tea and breakfast alone are enough to attract people.

After preparing to open the restaurant, Shen Yanbei found out the eating conditions of the people here.There are only a few things to eat in the morning, such as porridge, wontons, steamed buns, pancakes...the choices are very limited.Because saccharin is expensive, cakes made of sugar are expensive to sell, and ordinary people are not willing to eat them, so they only buy some sugar cakes to satisfy the children at home during the festivals.That's why he couldn't find a shop to buy pastries on the street that day.And the breakfasts sold in their restaurants are all made by improving the simple and low-cost dim sum styles that he selected from the modern dim sum, such as shrimp dumplings, powdered fruit, siu mai, shortbread, and thousand-layer cake. , Zongzi and so on.Just looking at it makes your index finger move!

Gu Changfeng tried to eat one, and commented very pertinently: "The soup is very fresh, the buns are thin and thick, very delicious!"

Shen Yanbei smiled, and pushed the porcelain bowl with the characters "Fu" on the blue background over: "The porridge is no longer hot, why don't you give it a try?"

A bright red shrimp is half hidden in the thick white porridge exuding an attractive aroma, and there are some green onions sandwiched in the porridge, which is full of color, fragrance and taste.

Gu Changfeng put a spoonful of porridge into his mouth without hesitation and swallowed it slowly.

"how?"

Gu Changfeng nodded: "It's very fragrant, fresh and warm to the stomach."

"You can eat all of these, and if you like, I'll make them for you at home." Shen Yanbei narrowed his eyes with a smile.White pepper can dispel cold, invigorate the stomach, and enhance the freshness. Adding some white pepper powder to the porridge can make the porridge more fragrant.

A piece of steamed pork ribs was caught in a bowl, Gu Changfeng looked directly at him with his quiet black eyes: "I'm not hungry, you eat." Shen Yanbei just stared at him to eat without moving his chopsticks.

Shen Yanbei picked up the ribs given by his daughter-in-law without hesitation: "Walking around with you later?" The restaurant opened and finally had a good rest, just taking advantage of the bright spring to go shopping with his daughter-in-law!

"it is good."

The downstairs gradually became lively, some customers wanted to book a private room, and the waiter in the shop greeted the guests to go upstairs.

There was a slight noise at the door, as if someone was talking loudly.As soon as Shen Yanbei opened the door, he happened to see an ordinary-looking man in brocade clothes but with an arrogant expression talking: "This restaurant is indeed different. It seems that the owner of this restaurant has studied many tricks."

The young man in green robe beside him smiled obsequiously: "Brother Mingde is right, otherwise how can we attract guests?"

Another young man in sapphire blue silk clothes also echoed: "A businessman is chasing profit, no matter how much he spends on yellow and white things, it's not enough to be vulgar." The mole on the lower right corner of his mouth followed Shake, look bold and funny.

Shen Yanbei: "..."

Is it wrong for him to use some tricks to attract customers to make a little money?

The man seemed very satisfied with the two compliments, his face was full of joy, but when he turned his head and saw Shen Yanbei, his eyes changed.

Shen Yanbei: "..."

He looks scary?

"Isn't this Shen Xiucai from Shenjia Village?" The man elongated his voice, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Shen Yanbei with intriguing eyes.

The original owner knew this person?Shen Yanbei looked through the original owner's memory and found out the identity of the other party - Li Yi, a talented scholar in Li Family Village.

The relationship between Li Family Village and Shen Family Village was not very good, and the original owner had no contact with the other party, so Shen Yanbei nodded slightly to say hello.

The man lowered his face, obviously displeased.

The young man in green robe scolded: "You are really rude, you don't know how to salute when you meet the master Juren, and you say you are a scholar, you really read the book like a dog! You don't know shame and don't understand dignity!"

Shen Yanbei was taken aback.It turned out that there was a Juren in the Li family village that the village chief said, and this was Li Yi?

Sure enough, the villain got his wish.

On the first day the restaurant opened, Shen Yanbei didn't want to make trouble, so he made an apologetic editorial: "I've been here for a long time, and I don't know that I'm a big boss. I'm really ashamed."

Li Yi snorted, and looked at Shen Yanbei arrogantly: "I heard that you were seriously ill a while ago? It seems that the rumors are true, but you are sick and dizzy." He waved his hands pretending to be generous: " Forget it, those who don’t know are not guilty.”

The green-robed young man immediately said: "As expected of a master Juren, I can't catch up with my flattery!"

Not to be outdone, the blue silk youth reprimanded Shen Yanbei: "Master Ju Ren has a lot of things that he doesn't care about with you. If you are still so rude next time, you should stop calling yourself a scholar. You should go home and farm!"

Shen Yanbei just smiled, and Gu Changfeng quietly clenched the hand placed by his side.

Seeing that there was no embarrassment on Shen Yanbei's face, Li Yi asked in a cold voice: "Isn't your family going to be out of control soon? Why do you still come to this kind of place?"

Shen Yanbei did not change his face, and opened his mouth to talk nonsense: "It is said that the price of this restaurant is very favorable two days before its opening, so I specially came here with my husband to try it."

The blue silk youth sneered and looked contemptuously: "This is a swollen face to pretend to be fat? Then have you eaten well? You haven't eaten well. For the sake of Master Juren's acquaintance with you, I will treat you to this meal!"

Gu Changfeng's face darkened, and Shen Yanbei said hastily: "Thank you for the invitation, we have finished our meal. I won't disturb Juren's elegant mood, so I will take my leave first."

Li Yi raised his eyelids, and then turned his eyes to the tall Gu Changfeng beside Shen Yanbei.

"...This is the twin you bought for joy? Sure enough, being famous is not as good as meeting."

Shen Yanbei's eyes were slightly cold, and the hands under the armholes were clenched unconsciously.

"It's a good match for you." Li Yi chuckled lightly, with a deep meaning in his tone.

As soon as these words came out, the two people beside him stared at Shen Yanbei and Gu Changfeng wantonly.

"What Juren said is that Shen Xiucai's body is just right for your husband to protect you, but you have to be careful when you are in trouble! Hahaha..."

"That's right, Shen Xiucai, you are so thin, so be careful not to be crushed!"

The blue veins on Gu Changfeng's arm were faintly visible, Shen Yanbei squeezed his hand tightly, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I made you laugh. I like him like this."

The young man in green robe faltered in his smile, and looked at Shen Yanbei like a fool.The young man in blue silk looked contemptuous.

"Your hobbies are quite special." Li Yi put on a half-smile.

"You're right." Holding his daughter-in-law's hand openly, Shen Yanbei smiled and said: "My husband and I still have to go for a stroll in the county, so let's go."

Seeing that Shen Yanbei turned to leave, Li Yi suddenly asked, "I wonder if Shen Xiucai has seen Miss Wanru in the past two days? She gave me a purse that day and said she liked my poems, but I haven't thanked her in person. pass her."

"Miss Wanru? Miss Lin?" Shen Yanbei looked bewildered, "That day she came to me and asked if the land rent could be paid later, but I rejected her, and I haven't seen her in the past few days." , Wen Yan comforted Li Yi, "If I see her, I will convey your thanks to her, don't worry."

Li Yi's face turned ugly for a moment.

Shen Yanbei smiled, cupped his hands and left.

Seeing Li Yi's dark face, the green-robed young man spat: "Bah, what the hell?"

"This kind of poor ghost can only pick up such ugly monsters!" The blue silk youth said with a smile on his face, "Let's ignore this poor man and come and taste what delicious food this restaurant has!"

"That's right! We're going to visit the county magistrate later, but we can't get in a bad mood just because of such a sour scholar..."

Li Yi's face turned pale.At a young age, Shen Yan had obtained the honor of a scholar, and was famous all over the world. His family was well-off, and his appearance was handsome, so he immediately became the object of admiration of many young and beautiful women and their children.Pity him for ten years of studying hard, and being the first scholar in this ten miles and eight towns has been forgotten.

Later, Shen Yan's parents died unexpectedly, Shen's family was defeated, and Shen Yan was also in decline day by day. However, he studied hard, no matter whether it was cold or hot, and finally passed the Juren examination when he participated in Qiuwei for the third time!

Thinking of this, Li Yi was full of ambition.

It's just a down and out scholar, and when he becomes a parent official, won't it be a matter of his own words?
