When Xu Qinyu and her group passed the door of the restaurant, the three waitresses had just arrived.

The three of them greeted Xu Qinyu, and their expressions were all very excited.

Xu Qinyu looked at the sign on the restaurant that was still covered with red cloth, walked up and pulled off the red cloth, revealing the four big characters "Xu's Restaurant".

Wen, Ning Jie'er, Cheng Ge'er and Gong Ge'er were so excited that their faces turned red. Xu Qinyu didn't show any expression on her face, but she was deeply moved in her heart. She walked forward and opened the door of Xu's Restaurant. The tables, chairs and benches inside were clean and neatly arranged.

Xu Qinyu turned around and smiled, "The restaurant is officially open today, everyone should go about their business first."

The three waiters had nothing to do for the time being, so they went to the backyard to help.

Xu Qinyu has a lot of things to do, and even Cheng Ge'er can't help much. Xu Qinyu has to do all the kneading of the dough by herself. Even a simple kneading of the dough, such as how much water to add and how many times to add it, and the strength to knead the dough, will affect the taste of the final pasta.

Cheng Ge'er also washes and cuts vegetables.

There weren't many other people who could help. They just helped to boil water, sweep the floor, fetch water, and put the snacks that Xu Qinyu had packed into the big steamer.

They didn't need to help with the rest of the time spent looking after the steamer. Xu Qinyu only needed to smell the food to know when it was best to turn off the fire.

Everyone is very energetic.

Time passed by unnoticed.

Restaurants and restaurants are usually the first to open at the market, but no one would come in for breakfast at this time.

Other shops opened their doors one after another at 3:15 am and resumed business as usual, waiting for customers.

Although most rouge, powder, cloth and jewelry shops open at 3:15 am, customers will have to wait until they have finished their breakfast before they have the leisure to go shopping in the market.

So even though all the shops and small vendors in the market had come at this moment, there were still not many customers.

Fan Cuifang, the female shopkeeper of the rouge and powder shop next door to Xu's Restaurant, came over slowly at three quarters past noon.

She was the shopkeeper of a rouge and powder shop, and usually earned two or three taels of silver. She was a widow who had fled to the southwest ten years ago to escape famine. All her family and children died in the famine. She was lucky to be saved by the wife of a wealthy man.

Later she stayed with the wife of the official to help.

The wife of a wealthy man owned a shop selling rouge and powder. She was also good at making perfumes. The rouge and powders were added with the perfumes she made, which made them more popular with customers. The wife of the wealthy man was also very nice and paid her to help with making perfumes.

Later, the wife's business grew bigger and bigger, so she moved to Raozhou City and opened another rouge and powder shop, but the store in Yuanbao Town was still open, so she continued to stay here as the manager.

She worked as a shopkeeper in a shop, with a salary of three taels of silver a month. In addition to her perfume-making skills, she also received red envelopes every month. It all depended on how much the rouge and powder shop could sell each month. The more she sold, the more red envelopes she got. When she had a lot, she would get four or five taels of silver, and when she had a little, she would still get two or three taels.

Because not every kind of rouge and powder is suitable for adding the fragrance she mixes.

She can earn about seventy taels of silver a year.

She bought herself a small house with two entrances and also bought a maid. The maid was only seven or eight years old when she was bought, so she could be considered a daughter. Now she is eleven or twelve years old. On weekdays, she and the maid depend on each other.

Fan Cuifang was considered a wealthy person in Yuanbao Town, so she usually ate breakfast outside, and occasionally took her maid out for dinner.

After opening the shop, Fan Cuifang went to get water and sweep the floor, but she smelled a strong aroma, a mixture of milk, meat, and noodles. It should be the nearby restaurants, bars, or snack stalls preparing breakfast.

"Strange, why does today's breakfast smell so good?"

Fan Cuifang was a little surprised. It smelled so good. She had never smelled such a delicious breakfast before.

Could it be a new food made by some restaurant?

As she was thinking this, Fan Cuifang suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a new restaurant next door, opened by a young cook in her teens. She vaguely remembered that it should be open in the next few days. Could it be that the restaurant next door opened? Was the fragrance coming from next door?

Fan Cuifang went out and took a look, and found that the door of the restaurant next door had just been pushed open from the inside. It was a woman who looked older than her, with a gentle face and beautiful features. When she saw her, she nodded slightly at her.

The restaurant next door is open.

She felt horny just by smelling the aroma. Could it be that the little cook had found the head chef?

That doesn't make sense. I saw a notice at the door of the restaurant recruiting assistant chefs, but it didn't recruit a head chef. Could it be that there is already a head chef?

She really couldn't believe that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old cook could make such a delicious breakfast.

Just by smelling the aroma, she couldn't wait to go in and try what the breakfast was like. It was so tempting.

Fan Cuifang was not the only one who thought this way. The shop owners around her also had similar ideas.

Almost everyone in the market knew that a new restaurant was going to open, but no one thought much of it. They thought that this new restaurant would be like the previous two and would close down within a few months. After all, the food business was not easy to do, unlike a food stall, which had low costs and did not mind making a loss.

The restaurants and taverns along this market street even joked that the location was unlucky and that they could not do business there.

I originally thought that this time the restaurants would be the same, and everyone was looking forward to when they would open and when they would close. Some even bet that the new restaurants would close in a few months, and even made bets.

I heard that the bet was made in a small casino nearby.

Quite a few people actually went there to gamble.

Xu Qinyu naturally didn't know about this. She was busy for more than an hour and finally put all the steamed food into the steamer.

This is also because she is efficient at work, and there are many kitchen utensils on the stove, so while she is cooking the pig intestines, she can also halve the pig intestines and marinated meat on another stove, and prepare the fillings for shrimp dumplings and wheat at the same time, so she can finish the work in more than an hour.

The rest is the fish congee and fried noodles.

The fish fillets have been processed and marinated, the noodles have been rolled and cut, everything is ready, and can be made as soon as a customer orders.

Only then did Xu Qinyu go to let Wen inspect the restaurant's door and officially open it for business!

It's probably almost nine o'clock now.

There were already some customers arriving at the market, but they were all here for breakfast.

There are many wealthy businessmen on West Street. Although some of them are also workers, their wages are not bad, so they often come out for breakfast.

When these guests arrived at the market, they smelled a fragrance that included the aroma of flour, meat, and milk, which was particularly tempting.

The aroma was different from anything they had tasted before, and they couldn't help but look around.

"What a smell! It smells so good."

"Is there any restaurant or tavern that has new breakfast food?"

"Let's go and look for it."

After seeing the woman open the door of the restaurant, Fan Cuifang couldn't help but ask, "Is this a restaurant open for business?"

She looked up at the sign again: Xu's Restaurant.

Although the plaque was hung yesterday, it was covered with a red cloth and the name of the restaurant was not clear. Today, I see that the restaurant is quite famous.

Wen smiled and said, "Xu's Restaurant just opened today. For the first three days, whether you eat breakfast or dinner, you only need to pay 80% of the bill."

Yu Niang said this is called a discount and it can also attract customers.

Fan Cuifang's rouge shop was too close to the restaurant, and she couldn't stand the fragrance at all.

She walked over and said with a smile, "Can I go over and order some food and have it delivered to the rouge and powder shop next door?"

She was the only one in the shop and couldn't leave. The door was still open, and they were afraid that if she went in to eat, the things in the shop would be stolen.

Wen nodded gently, "Of course you can."

Fan Cuifang followed the woman into the restaurant. It was clean and bright inside. It had been completely renovated. The environment alone made people feel comfortable.

Everyone who eats likes this kind of clean and bright place.

Wen led the guest to the counter and pointed to the left side of the counter with a smile, "This is the breakfast area. Our breakfast includes custard buns, milk steamed buns, braised pork buns, glutinous rice intestines, shrimp dumplings, yakisoba, raw fish porridge and fried noodles. In addition, there are drinks, soy milk and milk tea. The prices are also marked below."

Fan Cuifang first looked at the breakfast area on the left. There were indeed only these few items. However, there were many small wooden signs hanging on the wall on the right with the names of the dishes on them. This should be the dinner area.

She looked back to the left and saw prices under each wooden sign.

Except for the milk steamed buns which cost five cents a small basket, all other dishes cost ten cents a small basket. The raw fish slice porridge and fried noodles are also eight cents a portion.

The two drinks, soy milk, cost four cents, and milk tea, eight cents.

Soy milk is common, but it is a bit expensive because it needs sugar. But it is usually three cents a bowl outside, but it is one cent more expensive here. And what about this milk tea? It costs eight cents a bowl?

Wen said, "These portions are not big. One portion contains about two dumplings and four shrimp dumplings."

The portion is indeed not large, and the price is relatively high compared to the restaurants and taverns along West Street.

But Wen was confident because Yu Niang's craftsmanship was worth this price, or even more.

Fan Cuifang found that she had never eaten any of the food on the plate except the braised pork buns, and couldn't help asking, "What is this custard bun? How big is one?"

Wen said: "Custard buns are mainly made of milk, eggs and sugar. The filling is delicate and smooth, sweet but not greasy, and the dough is also rich in milk flavor."

As he said this, he compared the size of the custard bun to the customer.

Fan Cuifang was surprised and asked, "So small?"

None of them is even as big as her fist, which is a bit expensive. From the description, it is a bun with sugar filling. It is not uncommon to sell sugar buns outside. Each sugar bun is only two cents, but there is very little jelly filling inside.

And the fat intestines, aren't they pig offal? Not many people would buy them at one or two cents per pound, but how come they are sold for ten cents per portion with some glutinous rice added? From what the restaurant waitress said, it's just two small pieces.

The shrimps and river shrimps don’t seem expensive either…

Raw fish porridge, the fish is even cheaper...

Fan Cuifang hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but order a custard bun and a bowl of fried fish porridge.

The main reason is that she likes to eat light breakfast, or even drink some porridge.

A custard bun costs ten cents, and a bowl of porridge with raw fish slices costs eight cents, so with an 80% discount, it would be fourteen cents, and even the smallest change would be eliminated.

Wen asked, "It will take 25 minutes to prepare the raw fish porridge, but the custard buns can be eaten now. Do you want them to be delivered together, or should we send the custard buns first?"

"Send the custard buns over first."

Fan Cuifang couldn't wait to try this candy bag to see what was so special about it.

"Please wait a moment, sir."

Not long after Fan Cuifang returned to the shop, she saw another woman in her thirties wearing a headscarf, carrying a small steamer. She smiled and said, "Sir, these are our custard buns. Please enjoy them. I'll come back to collect the steamer later."

After the woman left, Fan Cuifang couldn't wait to take a look at the custard buns in the small steamer.

It was small and delicate, a little smaller than her fist, with a milky white outer skin. It smelled different from ordinary sugar buns, full of milky fragrance.

She couldn't help but pick one up and take a bite. The dough was fluffy and full of milk flavor, without any fishy smell of milk. As soon as she bit into it, the warm, delicate and smooth sugar filling flowed into her mouth. This sugar filling was completely different from ordinary sugar fillings. The aroma of milk yolk and egg yolk was very rich, and the sweetness was just right, not as greasy as sugar buns.

Looking again, the filling is golden and the color is very beautiful.

There is plenty of filling inside.

The sugar buns sold outside are almost all made of sugar filling, which can be eaten in one bite, and the rest is just white dough.

The custard buns were so delicious that it made Fan Cuifang's scalp tingle.

She had eaten at all the restaurants and hotels in Yuanbao Town, big and small, but she had never eaten anything so delicious.

If this was really the food made by that young lady, she would know why that young lady was so confident at that time.

The two custard buns were quickly eaten.

Fan Cuifang was not full at all. She could not help but touch her stomach and lick her lips. It was so delicious. She wanted to order all the snacks except the fried noodles. But there was also the raw fish slice porridge. If she ordered all the snacks, she would definitely not be able to finish the raw fish slice porridge.

Forget it, let’s wait until tomorrow.

I’ll order all the snacks tomorrow.

While Fan Cuifang and others were eating raw fish slice porridge, diners from the market also found Xu's Restaurant one after another.

"Xu's Restaurant?"

"It was the person who rented this place a few days ago and was planning to open a restaurant. I heard about it."

"Yes, I heard that some people even bet on how many months this restaurant can last."

"This restaurant was looking for a chef before. I know Chef Liu. He was a chef at Donglaiju for several years, but he didn't learn much, so he didn't continue working at Donglaiju. When he was taking a break, he saw this place looking for a chef. He was also told that he could teach the chef how to cook. Chef Liu thought that since he dared to teach the chef how to cook, the chef of the restaurant must be a famous chef. So he went to the place on the notice. Guess what happened!"

"What's wrong?" Everyone became curious.

The man said, "The person who greeted Chef Liu was a young lady of fifteen or sixteen. Chef Liu asked for a long time and finally respectfully asked who the famous chef was who was the head chef of the restaurant. The young lady actually said it was herself."

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Is this young lady trying to play a trick on Chef Liu?"

"I'm not sure about that. Anyway, Chef Liu was furious when he returned home and said he would never eat at this restaurant or help cook there again."

Regardless of whether the young lady was teasing Chef Liu or not, everyone became curious about Xu's Restaurant. They were curious about who the chef was and whether the fragrance was created with something special or whether it was really the fragrance emitted by the ingredients themselves.

No matter what, I plan to go in and try it first.

If it doesn’t taste good, I won’t come back again.

The group entered the restaurant and nodded when they saw the environment. At least they were very satisfied with it.

Seeing the guests, Yuan, Chen and Fang came over immediately to greet them.

The three of them are waiters in a restaurant, so naturally they have to receive guests.

"What would you like to eat? Come over here and take a look. This is the breakfast area."

One customer couldn't help but ask, "Why are both the waiter and the shopkeeper women?"

Chen was a straightforward person. She smiled and said, "Our head chef is a young lady, so we hire waiters like us. What do the guests want to eat? Our young lady's cooking skills are really amazing. I guarantee that everyone will want more after eating. It is definitely delicious."

"Oh, you're still a boaster."

Some customers were dissatisfied and thought that the boast was too much. If it was really a girl in her teens, even if the food she made was delicious, she would have only been able to cook for a few years, considering that she started cooking at the age of five, and then washed, selected and cut vegetables, and finally became the chef.

After being a chef for a few years, I'm afraid he's not even as good as a chef in an ordinary restaurant.

The Chen family was somewhat dissatisfied. They knew best how good Miss Xu's cooking skills were.

I wanted to say something, but these are all guests and I can't be angry with them.

Chen had no choice but to smile and say, "Would you like to order some food to try?"

"Just try it." The customer snorted coldly, "We are all regular customers of this market. If it doesn't taste good, the reputation of your restaurant will be ruined."

Chen also wanted to snort, but held back and just smiled.

The guests came to the counter and saw the breakfast dishes. They started talking again, "What are these? I've never heard of them. Let's not talk about the custard buns in the front. The glutinous rice and fat intestines in the back are so cheap. How dare they sell them for ten cents a portion? And the river shrimp and fish are cheap food, aren't they? And how much is this portion?"

Wen said gently, "There are two noodles in one serving, and four shrimp dumplings."

The customer became increasingly dissatisfied when he discovered that the portion was very small.

"You really think we are being taken advantage of. You dare to sell two small candies for ten cents, and also these offal and fish and shrimp that no one wants to eat."

"That's right, how about we change one now?"

“But the scent is really strong.”

It is not about when the aroma is strong, but mainly these aromas that attract them, especially when they enter the restaurant, they can't help swallowing their saliva.

"Forget it, let's try something. I want a basket of braised pork buns, a basket of yakisoba, and a bowl of fried noodles. I've had fried noodles before, but what is fried noodles?"

"Then I'll have some to try, too. I really like sweets. I'll have a basket of custard buns. I want to see what they are. I'll also have some shrimp dumplings and a bowl of fish porridge."

"Then I'll order glutinous rice pork intestines and milk steamed buns. Should the steamed buns be served with some porridge?"

Wen said, "Our steamed buns are always served with a bowl of porridge and a dish of pickled vegetables."

The guest nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, then these two."

Several other guests followed suit and ordered almost every breakfast item.

But no one has ordered drinks yet.

However, a customer was curious about what milk tea was. He learned that it cost eight cents and tasted rich, mellow and sweet. The customer liked desserts, so he thought about it and ordered a bowl of milk tea.

After learning that they had to pay first and being told a few words by the customers, they finally paid first.

Except for the fish porridge, the other breakfast dishes were served quickly.

The guests were quite satisfied as they watched the breakfast being served in small steamers.

"Don't mention it. This is the first time I've seen this way of eating breakfast. They even brought the small steamer to you."

When the guests started eating, they were shocked and said in disbelief: "This, this taste..."

The taste is completely comparable to its aroma, it is indeed delicious.

"Is this really made of pig intestines? Why is it so delicious, fragrant and sticky, with a strong meaty aroma, and no offal smell at all."

"Is this the shrimp dumpling? It's so beautiful, crystal clear, you can even see the filling inside, and it's made of whole big river shrimps. Let me taste it first."

Xu Qinyu’s shrimp dumplings also contain spring bamboo shoots. The shrimps are fresh, and the spring bamboo shoots are also fresh. The collision and combination of the two freshest ingredients are so delicious when they enter your mouth that you want to swallow your tongue as well.

"Here, give me two baskets of shrimp dumplings! They are so delicious."

"Is it really that delicious? Then give me a basket of shrimp dumplings to try."

In the end, almost everyone had a basket of shrimp dumplings.

The small steamer was sent back to the kitchen for cleaning. Xu Qinyu put the shrimp dumplings that she had wrapped earlier at the bottom of the steamer and started steaming them.

No matter what breakfast you eat, it is delicious.

"Even this porridge and side dishes paired with milk steamed buns have a unique flavor. The milk steamed buns are soft and delicious, with a light milk aroma. When you take a sip of the porridge, you can smell the strong rice aroma. The side dishes taste sour, crispy and refreshing. Alas, it was our fault just now. We shouldn't have doubted other people's cooking skills."

"And this milk tea is really delicious, better than any drink I've ever had, rich and mellow."

"It's not just delicious, it's the most delicious and satisfying breakfast I've had in the past ten years."

"That's true. I'm afraid the breakfast prepared by the kitchen in the palace in the capital is no more than this."

Wen heard this and smiled.

Even the cooking skills of the palace chefs cannot compare to Yu Niang's.

In fact, she couldn't help but feel a little strange. Yu Niang's cooking skills were truly amazing. She was only fifteen or sixteen years old and already so good. How come few people in the capital knew about it?

But Xuan Ge'er told her that everyone has something they are good at, and Yu Niang just happens to have an extremely terrifying talent in cooking. The reason she was not famous before was because in the capital, the Dechang Marquis's Mansion is an aristocratic family, and they would not let the girls in the mansion go out to be cooks.

"The price is indeed higher than other restaurants and taverns, but it's really worth it. I've also eaten at Donglaiju, where breakfast is more expensive than here. To be honest, the chefs at Donglaiju are not as good as the ones here."

Everyone nodded. They had basically eaten at Donglaiju before.

"Is this really done by that teenage girl?"

People still couldn't believe that a girl in her teens could make such a delicious dish.

If other diners hadn't been arriving one after another, they would have wanted to wait until the young lady came out to ask.

The person who knew Chef Liu couldn't help but mutter, "If these breakfasts were really made by the fifteen or sixteen-year-old cook that Chef Liu mentioned, Chef Liu would probably regret it to death."

Diners came over one after another following the aroma.

Sister-in-law Xia also brought Shao Ge'er, Xiao Cui and Zhuzi to the restaurant to eat.

After she finished eating, she had to help her husband take some food to the shop.

Even Xu Yunlan and Yang Zhizhi came with their families for breakfast.

It was just that Xu Kongmu and County Magistrate Yang did not come. If they had come, it would have alarmed many people.
