The news of tomorrow's opening has already been released. At this moment, the restaurant's courtyard gate and main gate are all adorned with bright red silk, and a raven-colored plaque hangs above the gate, with the words "Su's Restaurant" written in large, gold-plated characters in flowing calligraphy.

To the lower right of the four main characters, three smaller characters are engraved in black and gold ink: Mala Tang (spicy hot pot), Hot Pot, and Barbecue.

The four gold-stamped characters are fixed, while the other three sets of smaller characters are movable, and there is a space of about ten centimeters behind the smaller characters.

This is mainly to make it easier to add or remove items in the future. After all, hot pot, spicy hot pot, and barbecue are just the signature dishes for early summer. When the seasons change, it is very likely that adjustments will be made based on these.

This was Su Bai's first time at the restaurant. She had heard some of the children mention it before, and although she had a general impression, it was not as strong as seeing it with her own eyes.

After entering, there is a large hall of about one acre. Su Hua did not make many changes to the hall, except to set aside a section specifically for cooking spicy hot pot and barbecue.

Because barbecue produces a lot of smoke, and some customers like to watch the cooking process, Su Hua chose this spot on the left-hand side of the entrance, and even widened the window for this purpose.

Sixty dining tables are neatly arranged in the center of the hall, including small tables for two or three people, as well as large tables for four or five people, or seven or eight people.

The private rooms on the second floor serve hot pot, targeting wealthy families who are willing to spend money on food.

Therefore, Su Hua not only set up a new-style flower toilet in the corridor and added charcoal stoves to the thirty private rooms, but also selected thirty kinds of flowers and plants to name the private rooms. At the same time, each private room can be seen with a painting of the flower and plant and the corresponding poem when you open the door.

The painting was done by Su Hua, and the poem was dictated by her and written by Xiao Jinhan, using four different calligraphic styles: regular script, running script, cursive script, and seal script.

As Su Bai stepped onto the carpet and gazed at the vivid paintings, she felt her legs were almost out of control, and exclaimed "Good!" three times in a row.

A-Zheng also gave a thumbs up, "Xiao Hua'er, you're amazing! If I were a guest, I would come here to eat every day just for these paintings and poems. It's so pleasing to the eye just to look at them."

Su Hua smiled and said, "Let's wait and see what the guests say tomorrow."

In fact, these are all marketing tactics. Those from less affluent families focus more on whether the food tastes good or not, while those from wealthier families pay attention to both taste and taste, as well as the ambiance.

The restaurant was spotless inside and out, the tables were so shiny they could reflect light. The fish balls, fried tofu puffs, and offal, which take a long time to prepare, were all prepared in advance and kept chilled with well water along with the meat. The vegetables, wood ear mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms were all fresh and crisp. After dinner, Wang Ergou and his crew were still rehearsing the opening arrangements for tomorrow.

That night, Su Hua's family stayed in the small courtyard behind the restaurant. The courtyard had three main rooms and three side rooms.

Su Hua kept the main house for her own use, while the side rooms were for the head chef and the other staff. Of the twenty staff, eighteen were young men and four were young women. So, the two large side rooms on the outside were for the male staff and the head chef, while the smaller one inside was for the four female staff.

A cool night breeze blew, the moon gradually hid behind the clouds, and the stars quietly disappeared from the sky; it was a new day.

When Su Hua woke up, the blankets beside her were already cold. She rested one hand behind her head, her eyelids still heavy with sleep. She could hear rustling sounds coming from outside the courtyard: the sound of washing vegetables, chopping vegetables, chopping bones, boiling soup, light footsteps, and the soft recitation of welcoming words...

The sounds weren't actually very loud, but Su Hua had sharp ears and was instantly wide awake from her drowsiness.

She couldn't stay in bed any longer, so she stretched and got up. On the four-legged stool next to the bed was a set of bright red new clothes, which her older sister had recently embroidered. It was made of cloud satin and was specially prepared for today's opening.

Su Hua changed into a new dress, tied her hair into a high ponytail with a matching silk ribbon, and went outside after washing up.

Just as I stepped out of the courtyard gate, I heard a joyful voice.

"Sister Su, you've finally come out!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Su Hua was about to respond when the pale yellow figure rushed over like an arrow.

He rushed straight into her arms, "Sister Su, Yingxian missed you so much! It's been almost half a month since the Hundred Flowers Banquet. Yesterday, when Sister Su's house was being built, my naughty brother even kept it from me and didn't take me with him. Sister Su, you must help me teach my brother a lesson later!"

Families have many rules, and the Qin family is no exception. With so many people and so much talk at the roof-raising banquet, how could the Qin couple feel at ease letting their daughter go directly to Shanghe Village?

Su Hua glanced at the person in her arms with a smile and teased, "Ying Xian, what do you think is the best way to discipline him? Should we beat him, scold him, or let him just look at the delicious food without eating it?"

"Yingxian thinks it's better to teach them all a lesson at once." Qin Yingxian lifted her head from Su Hua's embrace, her eyes suddenly widening in surprise, and it took her a while to come back to her senses. "Sister Su, you look so beautiful in red!"

It truly lives up to the saying, "The fragrance lingers as the silk sleeves flutter, and the red lotus sways gently in the autumn mist."

If I were a boy, I would definitely marry Sister Su when I grow up…

Su Hua's lips twitched, and she lightly tapped Ying Xian's forehead with her finger. "It's already broad daylight, and Ying Xian is still talking nonsense. She must have forgotten to eat breakfast before she left."

Qin Yucheng, dressed in a royal blue brocade robe and holding a folding fan, kept his gaze fixed on the red-clad figure in the center. Hearing their conversation, the tips of his ears turned slightly red.

"Sister Su is right, but it's not that I forgot. I deliberately saved room for this meal at the restaurant today." Qin Yingxian chuckled and glanced at her brother.

He pulled out an exquisite mahogany box from his sleeve and handed it to Su Hua. "Today is the opening of Sister Su's restaurant. Yingxian didn't know what Sister Su liked, so he asked his brother to pick out a jade bowl for her when he went to the prefectural city earlier."

Su Hua stared at the mahogany box for a moment, then waved her hand, "This restaurant also has a share for Yu Cheng. We're all family here, so Ying Xian doesn't need to send any more gifts."

"That won't do!" Qin Yingxian blinked and stuffed the mahogany box into Su Hua's arms. "Brother is brother, and I am me. We can't confuse the two."

Su Hua held the mahogany box, her hands trembling for a moment.

She still vividly remembered how hot it was when her dog-like space swallowed the jade last time. If she were to swallow the jade bowl and box together now, the brother and sister would definitely think she was a demon in disguise!
