There were quite a few people watching at the door, but no one came in. They were all just watching.
Shopkeeper Qiu asked the waiter to put the sign that Xu Mingyan had written yesterday at the door, and the waiter did so immediately.
"Five days before the opening of Heyi Restaurant, anyone who spends more than ten taels in this restaurant will receive a pot of Qingquan wine for free."
"What kind of wine is this Qingquan wine..."
"I haven't heard of it... I don't know..."
"Hey, smell it, what's that fragrant smell?"
Everyone sniffed and smelled the aroma of meat. One person was tempted by the smell and walked in.
"Sir, what would you like to eat?" The waiter immediately led the guest to his seat.
"What is this fragrance?"
"Sir, you have a keen nose. This is our Roujiamo, served with a bowl of hot and sour rice noodles with bone broth. It's perfect for winter."
"Okay, let's have a roujiamo, and add the noodles you just mentioned."
"Okay, wait a moment."
Just as the waiter finished speaking, two more customers came in, "We'd like two servings of what you just mentioned, too."
"Okay."
Soon, the waiter served the food to the two tables of guests.
A few people first took a tentative bite of the roujiamo, then lowered their heads to taste the hot and sour noodles, and then started ordering more and eating.
There were a few people standing at the door. When they saw what was happening, they all came in and ordered the same thing each.
After drinking the last mouthful of soup, the first customer put down his bowl of soup contentedly.
"Waiter, check out."
The waiter took the silver to settle the bill with Manager Qiu, and when he came back he was holding a paper bag and a palm-sized jar in his hands.
"Sir, this is your change, please keep it." After saying that, he handed over the paper bag and the jar.
"The guests who ate at our restaurant the day before were given a pack of sesame peach cakes as a gift. You are our first guest, so our boss will give you a jar of our homemade Qingquan wine as a gift for good luck."
The guest took it happily and said he would come again next time.
The two people who came in later felt a little regretful when they saw this. If they had known the food was so delicious and there was wine to be had, they would definitely be the first to come in.
However, the customers who got snacks later were also in a good mood and said they would come again next time.
Four men came around noon and ordered a few dishes and roujiamo. After they finished eating, the waiter gave them a bag of peach cakes.
The leading man immediately opened it and tasted it. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, but it was soon replaced by a fierce expression.
"Bah, what kind of stuff are you trying to fool us? It's much worse than the snacks made by Jinyulou before." After saying that, he threw it in the waiter's face and shouted to the outside.
"What kind of crap is this restaurant making? It stinks and tastes terrible."
When the other guests saw this scene, they stopped eating and ran out without paying.
Just as Qiu Yang was about to step forward to argue, he was stopped by Shopkeeper Qiu.
"If the food doesn't taste good to you, the money for the meal can be refunded to you." It was the first day of opening, and Shopkeeper Qiu didn't want to bring bad luck to the table.
The sturdy man pushed Shopkeeper Qiu and said, "What do you mean? You think we can't afford to spend money, right?"
Snap——
Huang Shulang, who had been eating walnuts with a hammer in the corner, stood up and crushed two walnuts with one hand.
Huang Shulang walked over and looked at the sesame peach cake on the ground, then looked up at the burly men and said expressionlessly, "Pick it up and eat it."
"You're a stinky bastard whose hair hasn't even grown out yet..." The strong man let out a scream before he could finish his words.
The other three rushed forward to attack, but before they could even raise their fists, they were kicked to the ground by Huang Shulang.
Huang Shulang bent the leader's fingers and said, "Pick it up and eat it."
The strong man was sweating coldly from the pain and quickly grabbed the peach cake on the ground with one hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
After eating everything, the sturdy man turned pale. Huang Shulang kicked him on the butt and kicked him out.
"Get lost, don't get in my way."
The strong man folded his hands and led his three accomplices. After they ran away, he shouted, "Wait for me!"
Gu Lingze was writing a prescription in a private room upstairs when he suddenly remembered something and slipped into the space. Unexpectedly, something happened downstairs in just a moment.
Gu Lingze went downstairs and found that there was no guest in the lobby. After asking, he found out what had happened.
He went over and patted Huang Shulang on the shoulder, "Junior brother, well done."
The other party raised an eyebrow and gave him a smug look in return.
Gu Lingze is not afraid of having no business coming to his restaurant. Let’s not talk about the food for now. Their restaurant can still be packed with people just by selling alcohol.
At noon, a number of gorgeously decorated carriages stopped in front of the Heyi Tower.
The first to get off the carriage were Minister Cao and his wife, followed by Cao Xianrui and his wife with Xiaobao.
Gu Lingze and Shopkeeper Qiu hurried out to greet them.
"Sir Shangshu, madam."
Minister Cao patted his shoulder amiably and said, "Why call me Sir? Just call me Uncle. I heard that you opened a restaurant here. I brought my whole family here to have a meal. I hope you won't be unwelcome."
Gu Lingze quickly said no, and asked Manager Qiu to help take the family to the private room.
Soon after, Marquis Wenxin's carriage arrived, along with Su Xuancheng and Su Wenyu.
Wen Xinhou looked up at the three characters "He Yi Tower" on the plaque, then lowered his head and said to Gu Lingze, "The characters are vigorous and powerful, and the strokes are like dragons and snakes. You can tell at a glance that they are the work of Master Xie."
"My Lord, you have good eyesight."
Su Xuancheng stepped forward and said, "Third Master, I brought you a gift. I wish you a prosperous opening."
After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands twice, and a group of people came from the street beating drums and gongs, and there were also four lion dancers. The lively movement immediately attracted the crowd.
"Thank you for your kindness, young marquis. Please go upstairs."
The people in the last few carriages were all family members. Except for Han Xiaoran who had just given birth, all the families were present.
"Dad, where is Cheng Mo? Why can't I see him?"
Gu Feirui made a "tsk" sound and said unhappily: "There is something going on in the Jinwu Guard Camp. He will not be able to come over until later."
Gu Lingze smiled and led people upstairs personally. He first showed everyone the private rooms with different themes. Xie Xiru and Gu Tianhua had a conversation with Wenxin Hou Cao Shangshu and others.
Gu Lingze was sitting in the Moonlight Room talking to his family. Qiu Yang pushed the door open breathlessly: "Lingze, my father told you to come downstairs quickly because a distinguished guest has arrived."
Gu Lingze raised his eyebrows. Almost all the people he was friendly with had come, including this distinguished guest.
"Lingze, go and do your work first, don't worry about us."
Gu Lingze nodded, closed the door and went out with Qiu Yang.
As soon as he went downstairs, he saw Zhao Chengmo standing at the door. When he saw him, he curled the corners of his mouth.
"Cheng Mo."
Gu Lingze walked to the door and was about to speak when a man got off the carriage behind Zhao Chengmo.
A carriage made of black nanmu? Who is so extravagant?
He looked at Qi Junhuai getting out of the car and Li Jin holding the child, and understood.
