When you step into the restaurant, you will know the luxury.
Fu Yanshuo was familiar with the road and led them inside.
At the entrance is an antique courtyard, which is divided into two corridors on the left and right, both leading to the main building. There are small private rooms on both sides of the main building, mostly used by prominent people who are inconvenient to show their faces. The blank walls of each room are also decorated with celebrities.
Calligraphy, painting and hanging curtains make it even more mysterious and noble.
Chu Miaoer observed carefully all the way and sighed in his heart at the wealth of Xiling.
Along the way they walked, the vegetation was lush and the flowers were fragrant. It could be seen that they were carefully taken care of every day. The gold and red gauze gardenia lamps were hung on the two corridors. They were exquisite and graceful, and suddenly made people feel that there was a touch of luxury.
Don't fall into the mundane world.
At this time, the waiter who had just greeted them ran over and said with an apologetic smile: "Dear distinguished guests, the private rooms are all booked today, and only the lobby can still sit. I wonder if these distinguished guests can...
"
Chu Miao'er was just thinking about taking a chance to see what was so strange about this "Hele Building" that even the Second Prince praised.
She blurted out: "No problem, just in the lobby."
Fu Yunqi turned to look at her, surprise flashed across his eyes, and he whispered: "Miaomiao, there must be Dongjue people lurking in Xiling, so we shouldn't take it lightly."
"It's safer here if there are more people and more eyes. Don't worry," she looked sideways behind her and asked, "How do you think it's okay, Master?"
Fu Yanshuo shrugged nonchalantly, holding a folding fan and spreading his hands to express his agreement.
Fu Yunqi sighed helplessly.
The waiter led the way and took them to the lobby on the third floor. The lobby was packed with people, almost all of whom were members of richly dressed aristocratic families. It was rare to see ordinary people coming here to eat.
After giving them a good seat by the window, the waiter who led the way withdrew, and the other waiter quickly handed over the recipe in his hand and stood respectfully waiting to tell the name of the dish.
The division of labor in a restaurant is so clear. It seems that the boss is a smart and capable person, Chu Miaoer thought to himself.
"Fresh shrimp and hoof soup, crab stuffed with orange, lychee and white kidney, flower-cooked quail, five delicacies, glutinous jade pistil soup, Jiang Yaosheng..."
"That's enough, that's all."
Fu Yunqi snatched the recipe from Fu Yanshuo's hand and handed it to the waiter without giving him a chance to continue ordering.
"If you drink enough water, eating too much is a waste."
"...Forget it, I won't argue with you."
Seeing their vindictive behavior, Chu Miaoer found it funny and cherished the time now.
She was sitting in the back seat, with the warm spring breeze wafting on the tip of her nose, and even the air was filled with a faint fragrance.
Leaning down from the window and looking down, most of Xiling City fell into her eyes. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, everyone had enough food and clothing, and there were no more wars or hunger. This was what the peaceful and prosperous times were like.
"looking at what?"
Chu Miaoer was startled by the sudden breathing sound coming towards her. She subconsciously turned around and found that he was holding her hand gently.
Chu Miaoer returned his hand and held his hand, smiling.
All the waiters in the lobby seem to be quick at work, doing things neatly and neatly, and almost all the Kung Fu dishes are prepared.
"Thank you, Fourth Master~"
When I took the soup he served with his own hands, the hoof meat melted in my mouth, the shrimps were delicious and had no fishy smell at all, and the soup was thick and it was indeed the best signature dish.
Chu Miaoer couldn't wait to try other dishes. They were all salty and light, and the soup was delicious. She actually had the illusion of tasting palace dishes, and couldn't help but be more curious about the boss here.
"This is the largest restaurant in Xiling. As far as I know, when my father was still a prince, he was traveling and happened to come to Xiling and ate the food from this restaurant..."
After hearing his explanation, Chu Miaer felt that she was almost full, so she put down her bowls and chopsticks. The three of them watched him quietly and listened to him continue.
"However, Xiling was in troubled times at that time, and the people were so poor that they could not afford to go to restaurants to eat, drink and have fun. This restaurant was not as glorious as it is now, it was just a street restaurant, but at that time, Mr. Yang was giving porridge every day
, I don’t know how many lives have been saved.”
Fu Yanshuo took a sip of tea and continued: "It is lucky to say that he is unlucky. Although the son he gave birth to was useless, he hung around in romantic places all day long and made no progress. The Yang family almost fell into his hands, but his granddaughter Yang Jinxi held up the
He has taken care of the entire Yang family and managed it in such an orderly manner, and now the Yang family can be regarded as the richest."
Yang family?
Could it be...
A bad premonition emerged in Chu Miao'er's heart.
The woman with a sad face held the guqin in her arms like she was holding a treasure. She walked in a hurry, followed closely by two young boys who looked to be only seven or eight years old. They also had a sad face. The three of them flashed in front of them.
And passed.
Chu Miaoer felt surprised and couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
A middle-aged man came out and stopped her in her tracks. He had a black headscarf on his head. He seemed to be the steward here.
"Our restaurant is a serious business, so please come back, girl."
"Shop Manager Xia, I don't have much salary per month. My brother has been doing some acrobatics since he was a child. You can also arrange for him to do some chores."
Shopkeeper Xia looked embarrassed and said, "Girl, you know this, I can't make the decision."
I saw the girl frowning after hearing this, but she was not affected by his words at all. Her eyes were pleading: "The two younger brothers are young, please be kind to Shopkeeper Xia and take them in."
"Why......"
The woman's voice was slightly choker and full of pleading, causing many of the guests present to look over.
It seems that her clothes are not cheap, especially the guqin she is holding. If she was short of money, she would have taken it to a pawn shop to pawn it. This shows that she is not a girl who is interested in money. The two younger brothers are clean and tidy, and they are also very particular people.
.
From the tone of her conversation with Shopkeeper Xia, it was obvious that this was not her first time.
"Girl, it's not my child, why are you so persistent!"
"Since we are destined, we will naturally do our best."
Hearing this, Chu Miaoer exclaimed in her heart.
The two little boys stood beside the woman with firm eyes. A closer look revealed that they were almost identical. The woman in front of them looked very similar to Hu Yin, and they couldn't help it.
So he stood up and looked sideways at Fu Yunqi.
He just said softly, "Go ahead", and Chu Miaoer laughed.
"Shopkeeper Xia."
The woman and the two little faces turned around at the same time.
Shopkeeper Xia didn't know who was calling him. He glanced at the lobby and saw a woman with bright eyes and white teeth slowly walking towards him. He must have been excited by his words and disturbed her meal.
He hurriedly bent down and apologized: "Madam, did I disturb you?"
Chu Miaoer shook his head with a smile and said softly: "I've been listening to you talking for a long time, and I just wanted to join in the fun."
"..."
Shopkeeper Xia didn't expect her to answer like this. He immediately looked troubled and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Madam, you don't know. Our boss hates promiscuous women the most, so he will definitely not agree."
"He's right."
A sonorous and clear voice interrupted their conversation, and a slim figure in smoky blue walked towards them. But the waiters in the lobby did not stop because of her arrival, they still performed their duties and were busy in an orderly manner.
Sure enough it was her!
In the extremely wealthy Yang family, there would be no second person named Yang.
After getting closer, Yang Jinxi's eyes visibly fluctuated. She turned her head and glanced at the window sill over there, obviously recognizing her.
I just didn't expect that when she looked back, her eyes had cleared and she couldn't see any emotional influence at all.
"Shopkeeper Xia is right, 'He Le Lou' is a place to eat, not a place for fireworks and willows, and it is impossible to leave these prostitutes here."
Yang Jinxi looked at her quietly, her tone unquestionable.
Seeing this situation, Hu Yin called softly: "Fourth Master..."
Seeing the stalemate in the distance, Fu Yunqi just smiled and shook his head, not intending to intervene.
Faced with her angry look, Fu Yanshuo leaned back in his chair, waved his fan leisurely, and explained: "The princess is not a soft persimmon."
...
Sure enough, this Yang Jinxi is very thoughtful and does not stick to trivial details. She is definitely not an ordinary woman who can take over the Yang family and make it what it is now.
She deeply hates promiscuous women, and the reason for this should be that her father was alone in the past and looking for a son-in-law. This shows that she has a strong sense of autonomy. If she wants to change her inherent thoughts, I am afraid she will have to waste a lot of words.
Chu Miaoer thought about it and sighed slightly.
"Why are you sighing? What does this woman have to do with you?"
Seeing her frowning, Chu Miaoer smiled lightly and said: "This 'Hele Tower' is now magnificent, but it has lost its original intention."
Yang Jinxi's originally firm eyes flashed slightly, obviously she was told something that was on her mind.
Seeing that her goal was achieved, Chu Miao'er did not give her any time to think, and took advantage of the victory and said: "Mr. Yang is doing good deeds in giving porridge and helping people. I guess he must be an old man with a pure heart. Now my granddaughter is only doing business for the children of your family. How can this be different?"
' and '乐' may have lost their original meaning."
She paused and pointed to the window.
"That's Hu Yin, who used to be a pure husband as well."
Yang Jinxi followed her fingers and saw that the man had an extraordinary bearing the last time she saw him. He seemed to be either rich or noble at first glance. The other man was waving a fan. Even though he was dressed in simple clothes, he had a scornful look.
It was judged that this person was not an ordinary person.
But if she were a master who was easily persuaded, she would not be able to firmly assume the position of the head of the Yang family at such a young age.
"Although 'harmony' and 'le' have lost their original meaning, they have survived after all. This is not an ancestral hall. It is not necessarily a bad thing to be kind and charitable."
Yang Jinxi's tone was cold.
“It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.”
Not understanding what this meant, Yang Jinxi asked humbly: "What does this mean?"
"Since this girl wants to borrow the land of 'He Le House', and you are a businessman, why not let her pay the rent every month, and you will cover their food and accommodation, and you will split the daily diners' rewards 50/50, and the three of them will have food and clothing.
Don’t worry, in addition to extra income, the restaurant can also gain a good reputation. Isn’t this the best of both worlds?”
After listening to what she said, the woman holding the piano nodded like she was tinkering, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Fu Yunqi, who was not far away, smiled knowingly and reached out to pick up the tea cup on the table. His lowered eyelashes just covered the pride in his eyes.
Seeing this, Fu Yanshuo shook his head and smiled.
Huyin had no inner strength and had no idea what they were saying. She could only tell them by their expressions.
I saw the shopkeeper leading the three of them down, the woman beaming with joy, and the two boys finally started to smile as the haze on their immature faces cleared. When they passed Fu Yunchi's table, they even knelt down to salute and nodded slightly.
"Miss Yang is really an outstanding woman, I admire her, I admire her."
After the conversation just now, Yang Jinxi also had a change of heart towards her, but she was still unforgiving.
"I haven't settled the accounts with you for what happened yesterday, but you still came to my door."
Seeing the calmness in her eyes and no sign of displeasure, Chu Miaoer joked: "It's not just me, he's here too."
