The Xu family also heard something fishy from the conversation between Su Chenyu and the county magistrate. Seeing that County Magistrate Wu was respectful to Su Chenyu in his words and deeds, they could guess that Su Chenyu's identity must be extraordinary. However, Su Chenyu did not tell them his true identity, and they did not want to pry into other people's privacy.

Fortunately, they bought a few extra sets of tables, chairs, baking trays, etc. Now it seems to be a wise choice. The hall and private rooms were crowded, so they ate in the yard where it was quieter.

The three sisters-in-law hurried to the kitchen to get the grilled meat and vegetables. Because there were too many guests today, all the meat slices prepared last night had been used up, and the chefs were busy cutting the meat.

Zhang and the others started cooking themselves. They were used to doing it at home and had good knife skills.

The three of them worked for a while before they brought all the dishes to the yard.

Jingchen stayed in the room and did not come out. He also had lunch in the room.

While eating the barbecue, County Magistrate Wu praised, "Old man, no wonder your business is so booming! It smells so good!"

Old Master Xu smiled and said, "It's because of this special seasoning at home. My family loves it, so I thought of starting a barbecue business in town to increase our income. But I also want to thank Chen Yu for his help, otherwise this shop wouldn't have opened so quickly!"

When County Magistrate Wu heard Mr. Xu address him, he knew that the Xu family and Su Chenyu had a very good relationship. It seemed that he could not use his status as a county magistrate to deal with the Xu family.

Suddenly, there was a lively atmosphere of toasting and drinking at the table.

At this moment, Zhang the shopkeeper came running to report, saying, "Boss, there's a tattered and crazy man outside. He can't be driven away and has disturbed several tables of guests!"

When everyone heard this, they all stood up and went to the hall, where they saw a beggar who was dirty all over and his face was covered in black dust being held down by several waiters.

The beggar tried his best to break free from the servants' restraints, shouting, "I'm hungry! I'm hungry! I want to eat meat!" Then he took the opportunity to bite the hand of the servant that was pressing on his shoulder.

Fortunately, the little one retracted quickly, otherwise he would have been bitten by him.

There were two tables nearby with dishes scattered on the ground, and a plate of half-eaten meat.

All the guests in the hall turned their heads to look at the hustle and bustle at the door.

A guest said, "I know this guy. He's a refugee from another town. He's been here for several years. He's been crazy all the time and has survived until now thanks to the help of some kind-hearted people. He must have been hungry this time, so he broke in. He's a pitiful person."

After hearing what the guest said, Qibao looked at the beggar who was being held down and asked, "What's your name?"

The beggar was stunned and muttered, "What's my name? My name is Xiao Gou... No, my name is Sixth Prince. I am the Sixth Prince. I want to kill those bandits! Yes! Kill the bandits!" The man struggled frantically as if he was stimulated by something.

The guest continued, "He's not called the Sixth Prince, and no one knows his name, so they just randomly named him Goudan!"

Wang felt sorry for him and said, "Why don't we give him some food first and let him go!"

Zhang quickly went to the kitchen, packed a bag of meat and rice, and handed it to Goudan.

The guys all let go of their hands, but still surrounded Goudan vigilantly. After Goudan grabbed the food with his empty hands, he turned around and ran out. He disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the man running away, Mr. Xu turned to the customers whose plates had been knocked off by the idiot and said, "I'm sorry to bother you all. I'll have the waiter bring you a few more plates of meat as compensation."

The guests did not feel embarrassed and expressed their understanding.

After resolving the matter, everyone returned to the backyard. County Magistrate Wu said, "I know that man. He's the son of a neighboring farmer. Bandits invaded the village and killed his entire family. He escaped because he was out on business. When he returned, he saw his parents and wife hacked to death. He was so shocked that he went completely mad."

Wang gritted her teeth and said, "This despicable bandit doesn't even spare the elderly, the weak, women and children. He's really hateful."

Magistrate Wu said, "Those bandits have all been apprehended by the government. Although the bad guys have been punished, other families have been torn apart. It's truly heartbreaking."

Zhang said, "I'll tell the shopkeeper later that if that man comes again next time, he should be given some food."

Magistrate Wu said, "You, the Xu family, are all kindhearted people." Then he changed the subject and said, "I'd like to ask, the paintings on the walls of your barbecue restaurant are truly unique. Who created them?"

The Xu family was still thinking about how to answer the county magistrate's question. Su Chenyu said, "I found the person, so why do you have any objections?"

County Magistrate Wu was shocked and quickly said, "I dare not, I'm just curious." After saying that, he blamed himself for talking too much and asking questions that he shouldn't have asked.

The meal was quickly finished. Magistrate Wu bowed to Su Chengyu and left, citing his busy official duties.

There are fewer customers in the hall. Many of the customers who came to eat barbecue today did not have seats. They can only wait for those who have finished eating to leave before they can get a seat. The turnover rate is very high.

The guys did a great job and didn't treat the waiting customers lightly. They even provided stools and poured tea for them to sit and wait.

It wasn't until the last table of guests left that everyone relaxed. The waiters and chefs were exhausted. Qibao said, "Thank you for your hard work. There are too many guests today. Let's take a break first, drink some water, and do the rest of the work later!"

"Yes! Thank you, Miss!" Their voices became weak and they each found a seat and sat down.

Shopkeeper Zhang said, "Master and Miss, this is the account book for lunch. I have recorded the price of each table!"

Qibao took over the account book and the Xu family gathered around. The shopkeeper had already calculated that the total sales at noon were close to eight hundred taels of silver.

The prices of their dishes are not very high, because there are definitely more common people than rich people in a place. They do mass business, and all the ingredients and seasonings are homemade, so they don't require much capital, except for the meat.

In fact, everyone expected so much silver. After all, everyone saw what happened at noon and was not surprised.

Su Chenyu said, "Yes, there are so many at noon alone, and we haven't even counted the evening!"

Qibao said, "Now that our reputation has spread, I believe more customers will come to eat barbecue tonight. Shopkeeper Zhang, do we have enough ingredients for dinner now?"

Shopkeeper Zhang said, "Miss, I was just about to tell you this. We don't have enough food anymore. We've almost sold out what we had at noon. We need to have it delivered quickly!"

After hearing this, Su Chenyu arranged for his secret guard to notify the vendor to send more meat.

The secret guard took the order and left.
