Volume 3: The world is in turmoil, and the undercurrent continues. Chapter 375: Disheartened
On the first day of August in the 10th year of Shenwu, Jiang Ning personally hung Qi Yunmeng's inscription "The No. 1 Pot in Hangzhou" on the door. Firecrackers were blasting on both sides, but the door was already full of people.
The leaders were several teachers from the academy and people from the officialdom. Ten days before the opening, Jiang Ning stopped taking hot pot to the prefect's mansion and the general's mansion. These two homes even reminded them three times every three days.
Finally, on the morning of the first day of August, the business officially started.
"Wait a minute, the prefect Tong is waiting. Are you more important, or is Tong more important?" The steward of the prefect's mansion squeezed directly to the door, waiting for the first pot.
"The same goes for General Tan. I have been thinking about it for several days. Mr. Jiang, if you don't open the door, the general will smash my head to pieces. You guys, lean back..." The housekeeper of Tan Zhen's house also said with a cup of his hands.
"I'll go first..." A little daughter's voice appeared behind everyone. It was none other than the current little princess, Xia Silu.
Everyone hurriedly made a way, and the two housekeepers also bent down and said: "The little princess is here, so naturally she is the first one."
"Grandpa Prince Consort has been waiting for several days. He was supposed to leave last month, but he postponed it until now, delaying the trip. You are all responsible." Xia Silu pointed at the two housekeepers.
The two of them apologized and laughed: "What the little princess is saying is that this hot pot restaurant also specially made lunch boxes. The dishes and seasonings are put in the food boxes, but they are a bit big. What kind of taste do you want, the little princess?"
Yes, how about sending the little one over in a moment? How can I bother the little princess to come in person?"
Xia Silu raised her head: "I'm here, firstly, to help Grandpa Consort buy hot pot, and secondly, because Jiang Ning is my teacher and I'm here to say goodbye."
"What? Jiang Ning is the little princess's teacher?"
"This, this...so...this shop has something to do with the little princess?"
"It's hard to say. A son-in-law can come out to establish his own family, and he also takes away the backbone of the Wang family, and now he has become the teacher of the little princess. Tsk tsk... there are various reasons, who can tell clearly?"
Everyone had different opinions and was chattering at the door of the store.
Jiang Ning said with a smile: "Of the first three pots, one belongs to the little princess. How many good things have the consort and the princess done for Hangzhou? The other two pots belong to the prefect and the general. The two adults have worked hard for the people of Hangzhou.
After all my hard work and worry, I don’t need any money for these three things. I will also give you a pound of Zichuan aged wine as a token of my gratitude. The things are already on the way. You two adults, please come back. Maybe you two have eaten them by now.
Already."
"Well done to you Jiang Ning..." The two of them worked hard to squeeze in, but now they are told that the matter has been settled. How can they not be angry?
Jiang Ning laughed and took out two jars of wine from behind: "One catty is definitely not enough, but good things will naturally have to wait. If you two go back with these two jars of wine, the two adults will not blame you, but will also reward you."
"Haha, Mr. Jiang does his job without leakage. I admire him very much. I will come back to say thank you someday..."
"That's natural. Let's go slowly..." Jiang Ning saw them off and opened the door. "Today's opening offer is half price. If you want to take it back, the store will be responsible for packing it. Please use it...
…”
While everyone was pouring into the hot pot restaurant, Wang Xinghe, who was on the left side of Liu Ji, was also greeting the guests at the door. Yangzhou Restaurant also opened on the same day, and those who came to support it were all people from the shopping mall.
Countless business people came to Yangzhou Restaurant.
At this moment, He Yunzhang and Zhang Zhijing walked out of the Yangzhou restaurant and went straight to the hot pot restaurant.
"You two, what are you..." Wang Ruoyan was busy working in the store. When he saw the two shopkeepers, he was a little surprised: "Eating?"
"Eating is secondary. The two of us are still the shopkeepers of the young lady. I don't want to join the young lady now. If you don't mind..." He Yunzhang took out the document from his sleeve.
Wang Ruoyan took it, and it was the document issued by the government that the two people had no affiliation with the Wang family. They were Wang Ruoyan's shopkeepers. Now that Wang Ruoyan has left and set up his own business, their affiliation is there, but they have no relationship with the Wang family.
Because all the money came from Wang Ruoyan's shop, as long as the two of them hand over the money from the past few years to prove that they have no financial dealings with the Wang family.
"You took...one thousand taels for yourselves?" Wang Ruoyan said in disbelief.
He Yunzhang chuckled: "I borrowed some, after all, I don't have so much money on hand."
"As long as this document is here, I welcome the two shopkeepers. We have just opened the business now, and I still need to ask the two shopkeepers for advice on many things." Wang Ruoyan accepted the document with a smile.
He Yunzhang and Zhang Zhijing smiled: "I don't want to ask for advice. I am satisfied to be able to work for the eldest lady."
"In this way, this hot pot restaurant will teach you how to be a shopkeeper." Wang Ruoyan smiled, and then said to Zhang Zhijing: "As for shopkeeper Zhang, my husband has a craftsman's workshop there, which is equally important and is the work of my husband's life.
"My husband has too many things to consider, so I have to make the final decision on these matters."
Wang Ruoyan specifically said this sentence at the end, which meant that she was already married to Jiang Ning. It was no longer the past. She could make the final decision on some things, but Jiang Ning still had the final say on some things.
"You two shopkeepers, please go and talk to your husband. If you have any questions in the future, just let me know."
The two of them knew it well, and when they saw Jiang Ning approaching, they hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I have seen the young master."
Wang Ruoyan took out the official document and talked to Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning accepted it happily. It was the time to hire people, so it would be great to have two shopkeepers who knew everything about them. Just when they were about to start work, they
I saw Wang Xinghe leading someone in.
Holding sticks on the left and right, a group of five people stood at the door, but Wang Xinghe shouted: "He Yunzhang, Zhang Zhijing, you two are eating everything inside and outside, get out of here."
The people around him all looked sideways, and this first wave were all people from the officialdom. Seeing Wang Xinghe talking so wildly, they couldn't help but frown.
"Damn it, why don't you let Ansheng even have a meal?" Someone shouted loudly.
Jiang Ning hurriedly reassured: "It's okay, it's okay, there must be some misunderstanding, some misunderstanding."
Wang Ruoyan stepped forward and said, "What are you doing here?"
Although the relationship was broken, he was her cousin after all, and his broken bones were still bleeding.
Wang Xinghe pointed at He Yunzhang and Zhang Zhijing behind Wang Ruoyan and said: "What did I think I was doing here? It turns out that I am just messing around with you, eating everything inside and outside. My Wang family treats you very well. Now that my wings are hard, I am shameless.
Did you commit the crime? Why don’t you come back quickly?”
Jiang Ning frowned: "Why, all the books I have read over the years have been read into the dog's belly? They are full of farts? They are the shopkeepers of my store. When did they become your Wang family's clerks?"
"What a bullshit shopkeeper, maybe he had an affair with this bitch and followed him here, hahaha..." Wang Xinghe pointed at Wang Ruoyan and smiled.
Wang Ruoyan's face turned red instantly. She never imagined that Wang Xinghe, who had only asked for money in front of her, would now say such treacherous words.
"Wang Xinghe, what are you talking about?" Wang Ruoyan's tears fell down. Although he was the most powerful person in the mall, how could he make a joke about this kind of thing?
