Chapter 96 97. First visit to the restaurant
Gu Wenheng touched his nose. He had originally wanted to cheer the little girl up, but now he felt a little disappointed.
"But who do you think will go back and who will stay?" Jin Qianqian had a guess in her mind, but still threw the question to Gu Wenheng.
"I guess no one wants to go back except the old man." Gu Wenheng's impression of the village environment is not very good. It is only close to the mountains, without water, and the food available is limited. "Besides, this opportunity is so rare. Everyone came out to find a better way to make a living."
Jin Qianqian, "I think your mother also wants to go back, what should we do about this?"
Gu Wenheng felt a bit of a headache, "I'll go and convince her later." As long as the old lady could be convinced, Gu Dashi would not be a problem at all.
Jin Qianqian took out the silver notes she had exchanged for the mirror. Except for a few sets of clothes and some rice bran she bought at that time, she did not touch the silver at all.
"Take this with you. If the old lady is worried about her future life, give her some peace of mind. This money is a person's confidence, and she can't live without it."
Gu Wenheng picked out two smaller bills from the middle and said, "These are enough. The old couple should have saved some money. We can live a steady life in the future."

As expected, most people choose to choose a new place to settle down. Even if the resettlement fee is not much, as long as they have the strength, it is enough to live in the two years of tax exemption.
Everything was discussed, but no one from above came to notify us, and everyone was a little panicked.
Although some shops in the city were open to refugees like them, the prices were beyond their affordability.
Jin Qianqian pointed at a family that disappeared around the corner and asked, "Were they the Lan family members who just passed by?"
Gu Wenheng, "Where? I didn't notice."
"They look like them. They have changed their clothes and are no different from the people in this city. Do you think they will go back outside the city?"
Gu Wenheng glanced at Jin Qianqian and said, "Why don't we not go out? As long as we pay more money, we can still rest in the inn here."
We should never underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. For example, when checking into an inn, one needs to register one's household registration and obtain a travel permit.
During this period of time, except for the night I stayed in the hunting village, I slept on the floor most of the time.
It is already late autumn, and if it weren't for the moisture-proof mats that Qianqian smuggled out, their bodies probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.
During this period, many elderly people and children caught cold. Fortunately, the doctors in this city were able to see patients and sell medicine, otherwise, who knows how many lives would have been lost.
Jin Qianqian hesitated for a moment, but finally shook her head, "Let's do this for now, we can't be the first to do something.
It's just that there has been no news for such a long time. Could it be that what you said before doesn't count? Are you just stalling everyone and forcing everyone to return to their hometowns? "
Gu Wenheng, "Then we will have to work hard for a while. According to the information we have gathered these days, the current emperor may not have completely taken control of the court yet, so we can only wait.
Look at the Tianfu Restaurant in front. Let's improve it today and see how the food here is?"
Jin Qianqian, "That's fine. I have collected a lot of recipes. Let's compare ancient and modern recipes. Maybe we can find some surprises."
"Sir, how many people are there?" The waiter quickly appeared in front of them when they entered the door.
It was still early for dinner when they arrived, and there were no other customers in the entire restaurant.
Gu Wenheng, "You two, please find a seat in a corner."
"This way, please," the waiter quickly led them to a more secluded place, "Is this okay?"
Gu Wenheng nodded and turned aside to let Jin Qianqian sit down first. "What are your signature dishes?"
"Today the shopkeeper just bought some game, including pheasants, rabbits, and some wild boar. Would you like to have some?"
Jin Qianqian, "Besides game, what else?"
"Mutton stew, sweet and sour fish rolls, chicken with peach kernels, five-shredded vegetable rolls, Buddha's hand tripe, white pear and phoenix breast, almond tofu. Which one would you like?"
Jin Qianqian's eyes sparkled as she listened to the waiter skillfully announcing a series of dishes. He didn't even take a breath in between. It was really amazing.
"What do you want to eat?" Gu Wenheng was also a little surprised, but he came back to his senses quickly.
Jin Qianqian really had no interest in game for the time being. "How about some mutton and chicken, some tofu, and some leafy vegetables? What do you think?"
Gu Wenheng thought about it and ordered another old duck soup, then told the waiter to serve the dishes.
"My dear guests, you ordered too much food. It will be wasted if you can't finish it." The waiter hesitated for a moment, but still reminded them.
Gu Wenheng, "If we can't finish the food, we can take it away. Can we take this away?"
The waiter nodded and said, "Please wait a moment, sir. I will go and ask the kitchen to prepare it."
When everyone left, Jin Qianqian was immediately surprised. "This is an ancient restaurant. It is different from what was shown on TV before, but the service is no worse than modern ones. They were smiling the whole time."
Gu Wenheng: "It's not easy to find a job as a waiter nowadays, and they will cherish it very much."
Jin Qianqian made a comparison in her mind, and a rough idea flashed in her mind, so she inquired about the restaurant more carefully.

At the same time, in the backyard of the restaurant.
"This guy left without saying goodbye again," Ouyang Bing stamped her feet in anger, "He used me and then walked away. Guo, I'll remember this for you."
"Master, why don't we let our men go out and look for it?" Mu Tou, who had been standing quietly beside him, asked in a low voice.
"Find him? How? Who among you can catch him?" Ouyang Bing gritted his teeth in hatred. "He promised to find someone for me, but he broke his promise. Pass the word down. From now on, our Tianfu Restaurant will no longer entertain Guo Yurong for free. We have to double his fee. No, we have to double it ten times."
When he said the last part, Ouyang Bing almost yelled.
&
"The people here are really honest," Jin Qianqian's face almost froze as she looked at the pots of food being served. With just these few dishes, a whole table of people could be seated.
Gu Wenheng suppressed his laughter and said, "Eat more later. If you can't finish it, we can pack it up."
Jin Qianqian, "I didn't react at first. I didn't expect the portions to be so large, and most of them were main dishes. I didn't see any side dishes."
Especially the big pot of old duck soup, she was sure that the whole duck was still there.
"Let's taste it first," Gu Wenheng helped her scoop half a bowl of soup, "It smells really good, let's try it."
"This is completely natural," Jin Qianqian savored the unique flavor of the duck soup in her mouth. It tastes more authentic than the local duck and wild duck that are advertised everywhere in the world.
She narrowed her eyes and said, "This is another great benefit of ours. It is completely natural and pollution-free. You should try it right away. It tastes really good."
