Before sunset, everyone had actually handed out all the flyers. The number wasn't large, but it still attracted a lot of attention.

After the sun set, the night market opened, but the Lu family only started eating at this time. The food they had prepared all day was naturally delicious and refreshing. In order to celebrate the opening tomorrow, the men wanted to have a little drink.

He Jiuniang stood up and said seriously, "The person in charge of driving the carriage later is not allowed to drink alcohol! For their own safety, and for everyone's safety!"

The crowd looked at her with some confusion, but He Jiuniang didn't want to explain too much. She simply said, "Just remember, don't drink and drive if you're going to catch a train, and don't drive if you're going to catch a train. Everyone should refuse to drink and drive for the safety of you and me!"

The dinner fell silent for a moment. He Jiuniang glared at Lu Baichuan in a not-so-friendly tone and asked, "Is there a problem?"

How could Lu Baichuan dare to have a problem? He immediately shook his head and said, "No problem! I won't drink it!"

As he spoke, he quickly put down his wine glass. Seeing this, the others hurriedly assigned who else needed to catch the train, and then stopped drinking alcohol and obediently drank some tea.

That night, to everyone's surprise, the county magistrate also saw the leaflets sent out by the Lu family.

"The Lu family's restaurant is opening tomorrow. You all get ready and come with me to join the fun."

The magistrate summoned his wife and daughter and handed them a leaflet.

The county magistrate's wife, Madam Lü, took a look and immediately laughed, saying, "This painting is really interesting!"

"Yes, and running a restaurant is like doing charity. I'm really curious about how they operate."

The magistrate smiled, unable to suppress a hint of anticipation.

Madam Lü said, "The Lu family is truly extraordinary! Who would have thought that they would go from being a group of refugees to becoming such a prestigious family in Jingzhou City? The restaurant is opening tomorrow. Even if you, sir, are not interested in going, you should still go and show your support out of respect for that Third Master Lu. It will be good for your future to have more contact with such important figures."

"yes!"

The magistrate stroked his mustache and sighed, then said, "Fortunately, I didn't make things too difficult for the Lu family back then, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do now."

"Who says otherwise! The Lu family is truly influential. Master, you must seize this opportunity to speak more with that esteemed person and make your mark!"

"Of course!"

The couple were planning for their future, but their daughter, Zhang Lanxiang, was only thinking about food.

Nothing produced by the Lu family is bad. As for Lu Black Duck and roast goose, they are truly burial goods that she should take with her to her coffin!

If it weren't for the fact that eating too much of it would damage her skin, she would really want to eat Lu Hei Ya for every meal!

"Mom, let's go first thing tomorrow morning, otherwise we won't be able to get a spot!"

Lu Hei Ya is so popular that this restaurant has also become popular. With such great discounts, it will definitely be packed tomorrow, and you won't be able to get a table if you go too late!

The couple were still discussing quietly when Zhang Lanxiang interrupted them. Madam Lü was a little angry and said with a stern face, "Xiang'er, you're such a grown-up now. In another year or two, you'll be getting married. How can you be so frivolous? Is this just about going out for a meal?"

Zhang Lanxiang was a bit older than Lianhua and was old enough to be engaged, but Madam Lü saw that she still had such a childish nature and was worried that she would be mistreated in her husband's family, so she thought she would stay for two more years. Unexpectedly, she hadn't grown at all. Besides being arrogant and domineering, all she knew was how to eat.

Zhang Lanxiang felt a little wronged after being told that by Lu Shi. Wasn't it all for the sake of food?

Seeing that she was still unconvinced, Madam Lü grabbed her and said impatiently, "You remember this, when you go tomorrow, go and talk to Doctor He, thank her for curing your illness, say nice things, understand?"

"Why? That was so long ago, when she treated my illness!"

Zhang Lanxiang felt this was a bit outrageous. To thank He Jiuniang, she had given her all the horn peppers she had grown. Now she had to thank her again? What was this all about?

"Just go when I tell you to. Why ask so many questions? Do you know that her husband is the most trusted man by His Highness Prince Chen's side, the commander of the Fire Cloud Division, a third-rank official! That's a huge rank, much higher than your father's seventh-rank official position. There will definitely be many people trying to curry favor with him tomorrow, and we can't fall behind!"

"A third-rank official!"

Zhang Lanxiang didn't hear anything else, only those three words.

She opened her eyes wide and even counted on her fingers; a third-rank official was several ranks higher than her father.

"That's for sure! So you'd better keep your head up, you know?"

Just as Mrs. Lü was relieved, thinking her daughter had come to her senses, Zhang Lanxiang asked again, "Wait, I remember Doctor He was a widow, wasn't she? How did she manage to remarry so well? Mother, please tell me!"

Zhang Lanxiang's gossipy expression, like she was watching a melon, nearly made Lady Lü vomit blood.

The county magistrate, who had been standing to the side, couldn't bear to listen any longer. He took a breath and said, "My dear girl, you mustn't say such things carelessly! Master Lu is Doctor He's husband. It's just that his family thought he had died outside. Later, Master Lu came back, and the family was reunited. Do you understand?"

"Oh dear, Dr. He is so beautiful, what must Third Master Lu look like to be worthy of her?"

County Magistrate: ...

No, he needs to pinch the philtrum for a while first!

Madam Lü also felt that her daughter was beyond saving, and the couple left in a huff, leaving Zhang Lanxiang behind. She had only eaten half a melon, and she was extremely anxious and even more interested in the restaurant's opening the next day.

The next morning, the Lu family also went to the city before dawn. Today was the opening of the restaurant, and more ingredients needed to be prepared. The dishes prepared yesterday could be kept overnight, and there were also dishes that had to be made with fresh ingredients, which also had to be prepared on the spot.

Today, He Jiuniang changed into a neat outfit so that the dishes wouldn't fall into the plates. Also, all the female relatives had their hair tied up high and wore headscarves to prevent their hair from falling into the dishes.

Even before it officially opened, a lot of people had gathered at the entrance. Some were just there to watch the excitement, some really wanted to take advantage of the event to try the food, and some were just passing by and thought He Jiuniang and Lianhua were pretty and wanted to take a second look. Anyway, it was very lively.

He Jiuniang spotted the county magistrate and his family of three in the crowd.

"Lord Zhang! I never expected you to come and show your support! Since Lord Zhang is here, you should be the one to officiate at the ribbon-cutting ceremony!"

As the wife of a high-ranking official of the third rank, He Jiuniang gave the county magistrate a lot of face and squeezed through the crowd to invite the family in, making the family feel extremely flattered.
