There is always an endless stream of people coming to the coal yard to buy coal. Even in this hot summer, it cannot stop people's enthusiasm for cooking with coal from Jinxiang Prefecture. There are often carriages of noble officials at the entrance of the Jinxiang Prefecture coal yard.

The hotel's ox cart and the donkeys hired by the people were parked at the entrance of the coal yard.

But today there is a rare leisure time in front of the Jinxiang Mansion. It has been raining in Bianjing since the morning, and it still doesn't seem to stop at noon. He Libo ordered people to prepare wine and food to entertain those who have been working hard for the past few days.

Dude.

These people set up the table, laid out the food and wine, and called He Libo, "Brother He, why don't we have a drink together."

He Libo put on his raincoat and said, "I think it's going to rain until evening. You drink slowly while I go back to the house to find the young master." After that, he rode out of the coal yard.

The Jinxiang Mansion Coal Field is in the northwest corner of Bianjing City, and the Meyer Mansion is in the southeast of Bianjing City. Horibao has to pass through the city every time. When passing by Yunxuan in Wangbang, which is about to open, the outside of Yunxuan is still covered with cloth.

He Libo dismounted his horse and went in to take a look. The man working inside said that Manager Lu did not come today. "Where did this kid go?" He thought to himself and continued southward.[

Not far ahead was the Jinxiu Building. Shopkeeper Cui Fu saw He Libo coming on horseback, so he stood in the door and greeted him. He Libo looked inside, and Cui Fu walked to the restaurant holding an umbrella.

On the pedestal outside: "Is Mr. He returning to the Meyer Mansion?"

He Libo pointed inside and asked with a smile: "Your business is better, it's always full on rainy days."

Cui Fu was so happy when he heard that. He puffed out his chest and said triumphantly: "That's natural. Our young master is here at the wedding banquet. Even the emperor gave him the sign of Jinxiu Tower. Who doesn't want to come and enjoy the emperor's power and happiness?

." He said loudly, as if he could hear it even in the store.

Then he walked up to He Libo and said in a low voice: "Isn't this business good? Now everyone is following my master's example in setting up tables and hosting banquets in restaurants. Our menu is unique in the capital. Everyone is tired of eating the old stewed dishes."

Style, I have a soft spot for this hype right now. Our seats and private rooms are all reserved until August 15th."

He Libo was amazed: "The dozen or so dishes you have are really good."

Cui Fu curled his lips and said more than a dozen words. He got closer to He Libo and whispered: "You don't know, the young master calls everyone who is in charge of the cooking stove chef, that is, the great chef father. These people are happy, and who invents new dishes?"

Style, if it sells well, there will be a reward. Look over there."

He kept pointing to the wall where the menu signs were hung. He Libo looked around and saw that there were dozens of menu signs hanging on it, covering almost the whole wall. He then heard Cui Fu say: "Every chef here has his or her own specialty.

, I tell you, don’t overdo it. Mr. He, you order one dish every day, and you will eat it every season without repeating it. How can our business not be booming? What’s more, we have a beautiful country, which is a gift from the emperor.

The signature dish is a must-try for everyone.”

He Libo stood at the door of the hotel and looked inside. There were few people walking in the rain outside the hotel, but the Jinxiu Building was full of people and guests. It could be seen that Cui Fu was telling the truth, and he couldn't help but admire Wang Pang's ingenuity. He looked inside and remembered

I was looking for the young master, so I asked him if he could be in the restaurant.

Cui Fu was really looking forward to having Wang Pang inside. This young master was really at ease with him. He would do all the work on the cabinet. Seeing that the business was so booming, he would definitely be happy if the young master was here. Thinking this in his heart, his face

With a naive smile, he said: "Even if the young master comes, I'm afraid there won't be a seat for him. It would be better if he doesn't come, otherwise I won't know how to arrange it."

He Libo laughed and said, "The sun rises in the east and rains in the west. In short, the young master can make money. The coal in your kitchen has been prepared for you and will be delivered to you when the rain stops."

Cui Fu was about to ask about delivering coal. Fortunately, Wang Pang asked Jinxiu Tower to have at least three to five days of spare coal, so he was not in a hurry to deliver it on this rainy day, so he said: "That's great. When the rain stops, you can deliver it as soon as possible."

Don't delay our booming business." Another thing came to mind: "Mr. He, do you know what's so new about the teahouse that Mr. Wang has taken over and keeps it covered? Every day this customer asks me, I can only

I really don’t know the answer.”

He Libo shook his head: "This young master usually makes his own decisions when doing things. We don't know what he is thinking."

Shopkeeper Cui chuckled and said, "That's right. Our young master has a rule and we are not allowed to talk nonsense? What kind of secrets are there about businessmen?"

He Libo laughed: "Shopkeeper Cui is deaf. You can't do a restaurant without ducks and chickens. The young master said that is a business secret."

Manager Cui chuckled and said, "Yes, look at me, I'm an old fool, business secrets, business secrets." He repeated this sentence deliberately, and he was laughing at himself for being so old.

He Libo and Cui Fu were talking, and they saw that there were still customers coming into the restaurant to greet Cui Fu, the shopkeeper. Cui Fu responded with an apologetic look on his face: "Look at this rainy day, there are still people waiting for a seat to eat."

He Libo got on his horse and said, "You have to eat on a rainy day. Haha, since the young master is not here, shopkeeper Cui is busy with your work. I will go back to Meyer's house first." He said goodbye to Cui Fu and rode back to the house.

There were very few visitors on a rainy day, and the Meyer Mansion was not as crowded as usual today. He Libo came to the garden and saw Wang Pang and his wife and Lu Shenyan and his wife in the pavilion in the lotus pond. The four of them were admiring the lotus and watching the rain, drinking and chatting. It was very pleasant.

.

Lu Shenyan was the first to see He Libo return, so he waved to He Libo: "It's a rare rainy day to have some free time. It's a good time to come back." [

Wang Pang had a rare leisure day today. The air was refreshing on this rainy day, and the lotus flowers in the pond were in bud. Sitting on the pavilion in the lotus pond, you could occasionally hear Cai Jing and Tong Xiao reading next door.

He Libo took off his coir raincoat and bamboo hat, walked to the stone bench next to the stone table and sat down. Yan Zhihu asked the woman waiting in the corridor to add a pair of bowls, chopsticks and wine cups. But the three of them couldn't sit alone and have wine together for some time, so why?

Libo laughed and recounted the conversation with Cui Fu in front of Jinxiu Tower.

Yuexia listened to He Libo's story and looked at her husband with admiration. After hearing this, the king shook his fan and laughed. Everything was as expected.

Yan Zhihu refilled their wine glasses and said, "The funny thing I'm telling you is also related to Jinxiu Tower."

"The bookboy in our house is the new Cai Jing. He can tell the first story about the new dishes in Jinxiu Upstairs. When he encounters delicious food, he can eat it until his stomach bulges. One time he even bloated his stomach after eating it.

After two days, we would look at his belly every day to know whether the chef had done a good job today."

Everyone present laughed when they heard this. Lu Shenyan said: "No wonder when I was in Jianzhou, I heard that this kid is a foodie, but now I have seen it." Everyone was laughing, but the king looked at Helibo who was not laughing and seemed not to be listening.

What they said was that they were distracted.

For a long time recently, Wang Pang has been busy with business matters and his own marriage. He Libo and Lu Shenyan, who have always been following him, rarely sit together to drink and chat like today. Thinking of this, he picked up his wine glass,

Xiang Helibao Lu Shenyan said: "My little brother has never been free. Now the business is getting bigger and bigger. Thanks to the help of the two of you, it is rare that I have free time today. The three of us can sit together. I propose a toast to you two."

Lu Shenyan raised his wine glass, while He Libo was looking at the lotus leaf in a daze. Lu Shenyan raised his voice and said, "Big man, the young master is offering you a drink." He Libo then came back to his senses, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Yan Zhihu slapped Lu Shenyan: "You are so unruly. If Brother He gets married in the future, you will always call him Big. That would be bad."

Lu Shenyan said with a playful smile: "My wife is teaching you a lesson, but if Brother He doesn't talk about something, he will be happy. When will he get married?"

He Libo's face turned red and he hesitated as if he had something to say. However, Yan Zhihu couldn't stand his tact and said anxiously: "Didn't the eldest brother discuss with Xiao Lu these past two days how to let Miss Li enter the house?"

Seeing that his wife was quick to talk, Lu Shenyan chuckled: "Brother, don't be surprised. My wife asked me what you have been whispering to me these past two days. I had to tell you directly."

After saying that, everyone looked at Wang Pang. Of course Wang Pang understood that they were talking about Li Enxi. As for how He Libo found Miss Li, I couldn’t ask more. He said with a smile: "Miss Li is very fast in mental arithmetic. Come and help Yue."

There’s nothing better than taking care of the accounts.”

He Libo was a little worried that this excuse was not good, and said: "This, this is not good, after all, this is a girl's house."

Rouge Tiger snickered, and Lu Shenyan asked: "Why are you laughing, Madam?" Yuexia seemed to understand, and whispered in the king's ear: "Brother He is so pedantic, Master, do you understand?"

Wang Pang is such a smart man. After listening to He Libo's general story, and then being prompted by Yue Xia, he understood that Miss Li Enxi was waiting for He Li Bo to speak. But He Li Bo didn't understand, so how could Miss Li live in the house?

.No one can make the decision except himself, so he said: "Congratulations, Brother He."

He Libo was a little confused, and Wang Pang said: "I will decide this matter, Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, please free up a side courtyard in Meyer Mansion for Brother He as soon as possible. In addition, go to Mrs. Ya to propose marriage to the girl. As for the bride price,

Everything else will be handled by my younger brother."

When He Libo heard this, he was surprised and happy. He didn't know what to say for a moment. The king looked at him, who was usually quite a smart person. At this time, he smiled innocently and sighed in his heart: If He Libo could settle down just like this, it might not be possible.

It's a bad thing.

Xiao Lu clenched his teeth and said: "From what Brother He said just now, it seems that there are no tables reserved for the banquet in Jinxiu Tower."

He Libo waved his hand hurriedly: "Miss Li and I don't have that many relatives and friends here, so we don't need to hold such a banquet. I think I can decide this matter. Just us brothers, we can set up a table at the house."

Wang Pang didn't object to what he said, so that's fine. Then Lu Shenyan asked: "Master, Yunxuan will open in a few days. Master, this opening will not be open to the public. What are your plans?"

Wang Pang smiled slightly: "You just do as I say. When Yunxuan goes smoothly and Brother He's marriage is over, it will be the time for the imperial examination in the autumn. I will set off for Xixia after the autumn. Then we will be here.

I leave it to you two to worry about it.”[

Seeing what he said, He Libo and Lu Shenyan didn't ask any more questions. But Wang Pang said that he wanted to take the scientific examination. Of course Wang Pang didn't want to take the scientific examination. The coal field, tea farm and Jinxiu Building were in the business of making money.

Yunxuan's business is a business that earns fame, not to mention that Wang Pang wants to use this scientific examination to make his "Yunxuan" famous.
