County town, Manfulou.

As noon approached, more and more guests came to eat.

The county town is very small, and most of the people who come here to eat are old diners.

Shopkeeper Hao smiled and greeted the diners at the counter, "Hey, Mr. Huang, we have new dishes today. I'll send them to you to try later..."

"Master Xu, please go upstairs. A private room has been arranged for you."

"Waiter, take Master Xu to the private room. I'll bring him a portion of our new dish later..."

Shopkeeper Hao greets every customer who enters the store with a smile.

He gave a braised meat platter to everyone who came to the restaurant for lunch today.

Shopkeeper Hao instructed the waiter who was serving the dishes, "After you bring the dishes in, introduce them first. If there are dishes that the customers don't like, just take them out. Don't force them, and don't waste them."

The waiter nodded, "Understood!"

The waiter brought the dishes into the private room and quickly served them. He then brought the braised meat platter to the table and introduced: "Mr. Huang, this is the new braised meat in our restaurant. The taste is very unique. You and all the guests should try it."

Mr. Huang frowned slightly when he saw the pig head, pig ears and pig intestines on the platter, but he was also a frequent customer of Manfulou and knew that Manager Hao would not recommend anything random to him, so he picked up a piece of pig tongue to taste it.

Mr. Huang put the pig's tongue into his mouth and chewed it for a few times. He felt that the taste was indeed quite unique, so he picked up a few other things to taste.

Then he said to the people who were eating with him, "You guys should try it too, it tastes very good."

The others who tried it all thought it was pretty good, and the meat on the platter wasn't much. There were only three or five slices on each platter, just enough for a few people to taste.

Mr. Huang said to the waiter, "Isn't the portion too small?"

The waiter smiled and replied, "Mr. Huang, this is what the shopkeeper wants you to taste. I don't know if you like it, so I didn't dare to serve more. Normally, the amount would definitely be more than this."

Mr. Huang said, "Then give us another portion."

"Okay, Mr. Huang, wait a moment."

The waiter went out immediately and brought in a large platter soon.

Shopkeeper Hao did not sell them separately, but made a platter of them all, putting a little of each and adding a few leaves in the middle. One plate cost 120 wen, and the cost was less than 50 wen.

The other diners were similar, and almost everyone who had tried it ordered another plate. When the diners finished eating and left, they said they would bring their families to try it again in the evening, which made Manager Hao very happy.

The waiter came running over, "Boss, we've sold more than a dozen plates so far, and there's not much braised meat left in the kitchen. There will be a lot of people eating tonight, do you want to ask the braised meat seller to bring some more?"

Manager Hao didn't know where Zhang Hulan lived, so he planned to go to the county government office to ask Ye Hongyun, "You take care of the store first, I'll go to the county government office."

County government office.

Zhang Hulan led Ye Hongyun to complete the whole set of slimming exercises. Ye Hongyun was so tired that he collapsed on the chair, sweating profusely and gasping for breath, his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Ye Hongyun invited Zhang Hulan to have lunch. They had just finished their meal and were preparing to arrange for someone to send Zhang Hulan home.

The doorman came to report, "Madam, the owner of Manfulou wants to see you."

"Did you say anything?"

The concierge replied, "He wanted to ask you if you knew where Mrs. Zhang lived."

Zhang Hulan was stunned for a moment, "Looking for me?"

Zhang Hulan thought, could it be that there was something wrong with the braised meat? If someone vomited or had diarrhea after eating the braised meat, her business would be ruined.

Ye Hongyun was also a little worried. Although it had nothing to do with her, she went there at the time. To outsiders, it was equivalent to her taking Zhang Hulan there. If there was any problem with the food, although Manager Hao would not look for her, it would definitely affect her reputation.

Ye Hongyun immediately took Zhang Hulan out. When Shopkeeper Hao saw Zhang Hulan, he immediately said happily: "Oh, Madam Zhang is here too, that's great!"

Shopkeeper Hao bowed to Ye Hongyun and said, "Madam Ye, I'm here to inquire about where Madam Zhang lives. The store was doing good business at noon, and the braised meat that Madam Zhang brought over is almost sold out. Some customers said they would bring their families to taste it in the evening. I would like to ask Madam Zhang to send some more over in the afternoon."

It turned out that the business was so good that Ye Hongyun felt relieved.

Manager Hao then asked Zhang Hulan, "Madam Zhang, could you please send some more this afternoon?"

Zhang Hulan asked: "How much more?"

Manager Hao thought for a moment and said, "Send this much more as in the morning."

Zhang Hulan nodded, "Okay, I'll go back and prepare right away."

Ye Hongyun asked the coachman to take Zhang Hulan back and asked the maid to bring a box of snacks to Zhang Hulan.

"These are all made by the cook herself. Take them back and let your daughter have a taste."

Zhang Hulan was not polite and took the snack and thanked him, "Thank you very much, ma'am!"

"You're welcome. I won't keep you here any longer. Go back now."

Zhang Hulan got on the carriage and said to the driver, "Uncle, could you please take me to the market first? I want to buy some things."

"Okay, Mrs. Zhang."

The driver took Zhang Hulan to the market in the city to buy a few pig heads, and then rushed to Daping Village.

When Zhang Hulan returned home, Wang and her family had already cleaned the pig heads and large intestines they bought in the morning, and had also pickled the pig heads.

As soon as Zhang Hulan got home, she hurriedly asked, "Mom, where are my brother and sister-in-law? Quickly ask them to come and help."

"Your sister-in-law is at home, your brother and the second son are in the fields." Seeing Zhang Hulan carrying a few pig heads off the carriage, Wang was surprised and asked, "Why did you buy pig heads again?"

"The restaurant owner asked us to send some more."
