Everyone looked around and saw a lit incense stick in the corner.
Duan Zhengyu came in at this time and said: "I also said that there shouldn't be many people in their new store, but it turns out there is no shortage of customers here, and the private rooms on the second floor are all full."
They called about thirty or forty people, and also said they could bring their own brothers and sisters, so there were almost a hundred people coming. He Yunxi reserved all the private rooms on the third floor for them.
They felt that they had called out enough people, but they never thought that the private rooms downstairs were full.
After a while, Liang Jinyu and Liang Jinan came, along with He Jingtai.
Louwailou had a 20% discount for the first three days of business, but since they were called by the Three Little Overlords, they were given a 50% discount. In this way, ten private rooms cost almost 5,000 taels of silver.
There's nothing we can do about it, who wants them to eat expensive food!
The smell of hot pot is very overbearing, no need to advertise, people just come in after smelling the aroma.
The hot pot is so delicious that people who have eaten it want to eat it a second time, and those who have eaten it themselves want to bring their friends to eat it.
But this hot pot is also expensive, and only rich people dare to eat it every day.
Of course, this price is still lower than that of Zuiyuxuan. That one has been run by Yuan Hewen into a high-end place.
A few days later, a roast duck restaurant opened in Louwailou Hot Pot Restaurant, named Louwailou Duck Restaurant.
He Yunxi was shocked when she saw this name, but the children in her family liked to call it that, so she went along with their wishes.
As long as the children are happy.
It just so happens that we can see that it is owned by the same owner as Louwailou Hot Pot Restaurant.
Before the roast duck restaurant opened, He Yunxi sold the roast duck in the hot pot restaurant, which received rave reviews. So there wasn't much ostentation when it opened here, but there were a lot of people buying it.
There were two hundred roast ducks on the first day, except for the dozen that He Yunxi gave away.
He Yunxi sent the roast duck to Xie Yuanming, gave him two, and asked him to give two to Sima Jijiu.
Sima Yao would write inscriptions on the building outside the building, which were all found by Xie Yuanming.
Sima Yao didn't want any money, but Sima Yao didn't like spicy hot pot, so He Yunxi made two clear soup-flavored hot pot bases and dragged Xie Yuanming to send them over. But this little hot pot ingredient couldn't be worth the value of someone else's inscription, thinking
He probably liked the taste of roast duck, so he planned to drag Xie Yuanming to send him some more.
Sima Yao lived in the same courtyard as Xie Yuanming. After getting the roast duck, he saw that it was noon, so he took the food box and went to find Sima Yao.
It's not the Lantern Festival yet, and the Imperial Academy has not yet started school. The prince has been busy these past two days, and no one will care about him skipping work.
"Brother Sima, I've brought you some delicious food."
Sima Yao is writing in the yard. This has been his habit for many years and he will persist in it even when the weather is cold.
Hearing Xie Yuanming's voice, I glanced at him and finished writing the remaining two words before putting down the brush.
"Are you coming to my place for food again?"
"Brother Sima, you are not right. I brought you delicious food today." Xie Yuanming raised the food box in his hand.
"What strange things did you bring here?" Sima Yao asked.
Xie Yuanming gave him a roll of his eyes: "What is a strange thing? When did I bring strange things?"
"Have you brought many strange things with you in the past six months since you returned to Beijing?" Sima Yao wanted to yell at him, "What about cooking with stones, burnt bamboo..."
"Oh, my, that's because I didn't control it well, and it's not that the food is bad." Xie Yuanming said, "Didn't you like the hot pot ingredients last time?"
"You only took it once, and it was given to you by someone else." Sima Yao said with disgust.
Xie Yuanming was also very helpless. It was really because he was not good at his craftsmanship.
"Don't say so much. You will definitely like what I brought you this time." Xie Yuanming went over and put the food box on the stone table. Sima Yao saw him pressing the food box on the corner of the paper and glared at him.
Moved the food box aside.
Even in the cold weather, the handwriting dries quickly, and it was drying up just as he spoke. Sima Yao signaled the boy to come and clean up the place, and said to Xie Yuanming: "Let's go, let's go eat."
Xie Yuanming is right, Sima Yao really likes roast duck, and the salty-sweet taste suits him very well.
"How's it going? Not bad, right?" Xie Yuanming said proudly.
"It's pretty good. Where did you buy it?" Sima Yao asked.
"I didn't buy it."
"Didn't I buy it? Did you do it? Has the sun set in the west?" Sima Yao didn't believe that he had such ability.
"My student wife made these. She gave me two, and asked me to give you two more..." Xie Yuanming covered his mouth, and for a moment he was so proud that he spoke out.
But it's too late to cover your mouth now, Sima Yao has already heard: "Well, Mr. Xie, this is obviously my roast duck, but you still act like I took advantage!"
"Oh, don't be angry." Xie Yuanming said, "In the worst case, I'll bring the other two over to eat together at night."
"snort!"
Seeing that he was angry, Xie Yuanming smiled and said, "Don't be angry. Otherwise, I can help you get a jar of this sauce?"
Sima Yao glanced at him: Taifu Xie is Taifu Xie. After so many years, he is still so thick-skinned.
Xie Yuanming is thick-skinned, but he is not.
"Can I buy this?"
"You can buy this roast duck, but you can't sell this sauce. Only I can get this sauce for you," Xie Yuanming said.
“Can I buy roast duck?”
"Well, that girl has opened a roast duck restaurant. It opens today. If you want to eat this roast duck in the future, you can also send someone to buy it."
"Your student wife is the one who played the piano at the New Year's Eve banquet?" Sima Yao asked.
"Yes, that's her. That girl is lucky to be born as a daughter. Otherwise, if she could go to the court, she would be able to become a marquis and worship the prime minister one day." Xie Yuanming sighed.
Sima Yao didn't expect that he would rate He Yunxi so highly, and raised his eyebrows: "So talented?"
"Talented, kind, courageous, ruthless, good at dealing with things, and tactful."
