Liufangju suddenly closed down and stopped accepting customers, which soon attracted the attention and discussion of many people around. Although its business has always been very poor for the past six months, and almost no customers come to the door, it is one of the seventy-two main stores in Bianjing City, and it is also the Tong family's industry, which naturally attracts attention.

For a moment, both the people and fellow travelers around were speculating about this, thinking about how the Tong family would deal with this restaurant that obviously caused them to lose money, whether it would be closed or another way. Some people even made a bet and asked someone to bet.

A few days later, someone heard the jingle sound from the restaurant door, which made many people even more curious and wanted to know what the medicine was selling in Liuxiangju's gourd. Unfortunately, because the door was closed, everyone could only guess the specific content, but could not get the correct answer.

In fact, at this time, there were many tiles and craftsmen in Liufangju who were busy and built a row of stoves with a smaller size in the place where the counter was supposed to be. Although these craftsmen had a great view on this, they felt that no restaurant would set up a kitchen in front of them, but Sun Tu made up his mind to let them do so, and they could only act according to their will.

The restaurant's original kitchen was not idle, and it was even much busier than usual. Several chefs learned to stir-fry dishes in an improved iron pot under the guidance of Sun Tu.

The reason why stir-frying at this time has not been popularized yet is the tool. Most of the pots are built on the stove and it is impossible to move. With such fewer stir-frying techniques, it is naturally more difficult to stir-fry the dishes well. In addition, the current iron pots are not crafted enough, and the thickness is uneven, resulting in different heat, so it is naturally more difficult to stir-fry dishes that suit people's wishes.

So when Sun Tu decided to use cooking to set up the restaurant sign, he asked Tong Mu to find a blacksmith to use it and let him carefully create a batch of iron pots for Liufangju, thus replacing the original stove.

Now, these preliminary preparations have played a role. Several chefs are already well versed in cooking, but they are not aware of the key points of cooking. But now, after Sun Tu's guidance and after a few days of experimenting on the spot, they have quickly mastered the tricks of cooking.

By seven or eight days later, they could cook a plate with good color, fragrance and taste, even far exceeding the dishes made by Sun Tu. This made Tong Mu, who took the time to see what happened, very happy and praised them very much.

At this time, the stoves in front were completely built, and even a chimney was opened on it. Sun Tu began to teach them how to control the oil temperature to fry chicken. If you want to attract customers to come again, it is obviously not enough to just cook. After all, the smell of wine is afraid of the deep alley. But the situation is different after the fried chicken. He believes that with this fragrance, people from the past will definitely attract people from the past to come and taste it.

However, this fried chicken is more difficult than stir-frying, and it is something that several chefs find more difficult to understand, which makes them spend nearly half a month to fully grasp it.

During this period, Sun Tu did not hide his own personal information, which could be regarded as giving all his own achievements. This naturally won the respect of a group of chefs and made Tong Mu admire and grateful. He immediately decided that once the restaurant business improved, after deducting the cost and expenses, the remaining profits would be equal to Sun Tu.

Sun Tu did not refuse his kindness. Because he knew that if he wanted to survive in Tokyo and not rely on others, he had to have a continuous path of wealth, and Liufangju was obviously a good choice. The only thing he had hidden was the recipe for fried chicken, which was not because he was unwilling to tell it. In fact, those seasonings came from the warehouse, which was the biggest secret and could not be told to others.

As the chefs who are in the Liuxiangju constantly learn these new cooking methods, blue smoke comes out of the chimney from time to time, which naturally attracted the attention of many people, making the topics that were originally cooled down due to time.

This popularity reached a new height on August 23, because on the morning, when people walked on the streets and came to Liufangju, they found a bright red silk cloth that was several meters long and wide hanging in front of the main entrance of the restaurant, dragging from the second floor to the ground. There was nothing else on this piece of red silk, just a big "cross" character was written in ink.

The big red silk cloth was originally eye-catching enough, and it was hung in front of Liuxiang in such a strange way, which naturally caused everyone to discuss, guessing the intention of hanging this silk cloth in the restaurant.

But no matter how they guessed, they still couldn't get the correct answer, because the door of the restaurant was still closed and no one came out to say anything, so they just hung up Zhang Hongshi.

As everyone speculated, the day passed quickly. When everyone passed by again the next day, they found that although the red silk was still there, the word on the top was changed to "Jiu".

In the following days, the numbers on the silk cloth continued to decrease, counting from eight to down. At this time, everyone had already understood that this was clearly what Liu Fangju was making a preview to others and what big moves would be made in a few days. In this way, the news was spread everywhere, attracting more speculation and interest from people. Countless people in Tokyo were discussing and looking forward to the last day, which was the third day of September. They all wanted to see what kind of freshness would be revealed when Liu Fangju did so many things.

"Sanlang, I really admire you. Just by doing this, I actually attracted the attention of almost all the people in Tokyo. I think when we reopen on the third day of September, countless guests will definitely come to visit us." Tong Mu bowed to Sun Tu with joy on his face.

He was indeed surprised because in the past few days, even the classmates in the Imperial College have been asking him about what Liu Fangju is going to do, which is something that has never happened before. All the students in the Imperial College all regard themselves as noble and never take the matters in the market in the past. This time, they can make an exception because they are too curious about it. However, Tong Mu had already received Sun Tu's instructions, so he naturally kept silent about it, saying that he didn't even know the truth.

After hearing this, Sun Tu just smiled calmly: "This is nothing, it's just a little trick."

He was not humble, because such marketing methods were too ordinary after a thousand years. Many merchants would do something to attract enough attention. However, this method was very effective in the Song Dynasty at this time. Even people in Tokyo did not have this knowledge, so naturally he could easily become curious and led by him.

After a pause, Sun Tu said seriously: "This kind of method can certainly attract the attention of the city, but what can really make Liufangju's business better depends on our own strength. So as long as we can come up with enough new dishes and some other means, we can naturally turn over and even stabilize other main stores."

"Do you have other means?" Tong Mu asked in even more surprise.

"That's right, it depends on the future business to make a decision." Sun Tu was kept silent at this time. He did have some ways to make the restaurant business prosperous, and what kind of membership system that the merchants in later generations had long been used to using, and how much they were paid for... He could use these to Liufangju after a slight change.

Seeing his confident look, Tong Mu smiled even more happily: "That's great. To be honest, not only those outside, but also myself, I am looking forward to what our Liufangju will look like after the reopening of the third day of September."

"Yes, I'm also looking forward to what kind of scene that day will be." Sun Tu's eyes shone with light and he said with anticipation.

Just as everyone was waiting anxiously, the third day of September finally arrived -!
