The next morning, he asked Lao Zhong to order the plaque, and then he went directly to Dongcheng.
When he arrived, the workers in charge of the decoration were already there.
About 90% of the work has been completed, with only some finishing work left.
Zhao Hao looked up and down the stairs, and as soon as he came out he saw Princess Yongning's carriage.
Zhao Hao hurried forward to meet him.
Princess Yongning said, "I have brought you the property deed and land deeds of this shop, as well as eighty strings of cash. Please count them."
As he said this, he gestured to his maid Xiaotao, who immediately brought the things over.
Another box was taken down from the carriage.
Zhao Hao hurriedly took the title deed, but did not let the other party continue moving the boxes.
"Your Highness, I'll take the house and land deeds, but forget about the eighty strings of cash."
The princess seemed to be in a bad mood today, and her expression was a little cold.
"What is yours is yours, no need to say more."
After saying that, he lowered the car curtain.
Xiao Tao took the box down and whispered to him, "Please forgive me, Mr. Zhao. I went to see His Majesty yesterday and I was not in a good mood after I came back."
Zhao Hao was startled and said quickly: "Thank you, Sister Xiaotao. Don't worry, it's okay."
Xiao Tao's pretty face turned red and she followed the carriage.
Looking at the carriage going away, Zhao Hao touched the back of his head in confusion.
I was in a bad mood after meeting His Majesty, and it continues to this day?
…
Three days later, the restaurant was renovated and everything inside and out was ready, and it was finally ready for opening.
In the evening, Zhao Hao returned home for dinner and specially invited his mother Qin Shuyun and Su Si to join.
What he didn't expect was that his mother had no interest in his restaurant and directly refused.
Zhao Hao asked Su Si again, and fortunately, Su Si was quite interested and agreed to participate.
The next morning, Zhao Hao led Su Si to the restaurant.
Lao Zhong and a group of waiters had been waiting at the door for a long time.
There are two rows of flower baskets placed at the door, which looks quite festive.
The gong and drum teams are also ready.
Passersby stopped to watch.
Zhao Hao walked into the crowd and bowed to everyone.
"Everyone, I believe some of you know me, and some of you don't. Let me introduce myself."
"My name is Zhao Hao. Yes, the Zhao Hao you all know."
"As everyone knows, I was thrown into the prison a while ago and almost died there. Fortunately, Your Majesty spared my life and saved my life."
"As for me, I have learned from my mistakes and decided to change my ways and do something serious."
"After much thought, I opened this restaurant."
"I hope you will come to support us in the future. Thank you in advance!"
After saying this, he walked to the side and pulled off the red silk on the plaque.
The red silk fell, and the three big words "First Floor" appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing this name, the onlookers immediately started pointing and talking.
"What a bold name, calling it the First Floor."
"Haha, this name fits Mr. Zhao's temperament."
"But this handwriting is really good. What kind of font is this? I have never seen it before."
"Master Zhao opening a restaurant is a new thing in the imperial capital!"
"Not new. I saw him selling tofu on the street these days."
"Yes, yes, yes. The tofu that has been all the rage in the capital recently was made by him."
"General Qingtian stopped visiting brothels and opened a restaurant instead. Where can I go to complain?"
“Hahahahahaha…”
…
There were quite a few people watching, and after the ceremony, Zhao Hao thought that some people would come into the restaurant to eat.
What he didn't expect was that there was no one there.
After the ceremony, everyone left, as if they were in a hurry to escape from the poison.
It left him quite speechless.
There were more than a dozen halls at the entrance and in the lobby on the first floor. Zhao Hao and Su Si were also sitting not far from the entrance.
It was almost time for lunch and no customers had come in yet. Lao Zhong and the others were getting anxious.
"Master, there won't be any guests, right?"
"You're such a crow, can't you say something nice?"
Old Zhong said with a bitter face: "Isn't this old slave also anxious?"
They were anxious, but Zhao Hao was very calm.
As long as one person comes in and tastes the food on the first floor, the reputation will spread quickly.
However, it was almost time for lunch and no one came in.
This made Lao Zhong unable to sit still again, and he kept pacing back and forth in the lobby.
Su Si, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask, "Sir, are you really not in a hurry?"
Zhao Hao smiled softly and said, "Do you think I look anxious?"
Su Si shook her head slightly.
Zhao Hao said, "Our food is good enough. Once someone tastes it, its reputation will spread quickly, so I don't need to worry."
Su Si then remembered that Zhao Hao had been cooking for the chef in the church these days.
And it is kept strictly confidential.
I don’t know whether it’s true or not.
Could it be that he really has invented some incredible delicacy?
As the two were talking, a young man in a blue brocade robe appeared at the door.
After the young man stopped, he looked up at the plaque on the lintel and nodded repeatedly.
He looked quite interested.
Seeing this, Lao Zhong hurriedly and excitedly walked over to him.
"Sir, our restaurant has just opened today. We are offering 20% off on all food and drinks. Would you like to come in and have a taste?"
"I can guarantee that the dishes in our restaurant are the most delicious food you have ever tasted!"
