Li Qingluo had no idea about Pei Nanjia before. Her grandmother hadn't mentioned it, and she hadn't heard any rumors.
But when Mrs. Pei knew that Qingyangzi was imprisoned in the Jinling government prison, she would naturally go and inquire about it.
After Pei Nanjia was poisoned, his father made such a big fuss to seek help from the imperial physician and searched for all the famous doctors in Jinling. How could his grandmother not know about it?
Today, Li Qingluo went to see Pei Nanjia's current situation with his own eyes, and was greatly shocked.
She really wanted to do everything she could to save Nan Jia's life.
When Li Kechuan broke his leg, didn’t my grandmother invite Dr. Luo Shen to come?
Madam Pei shook her head and said, "What a coincidence! Doctor Luo went on a journey to Great Chu a month ago. Although Grandmother has sent a letter to him by express horse, when will he return? And will he be able to save Twelve Lady's life when he returns? Everything is still unknown."
Li Qingluo thought: Could it be that this hope can only be placed on Prince Su?
I wonder if Nanping can convince Prince Su to lend him the famous doctors in his palace.
Li Qingluo was waiting for news from Princess Nanping and Old Madam Pei. Her restaurant was finally opening on that day.
The twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month is an auspicious day.
The Zhenxiu Soup Pot Restaurant finally opened grandly under the watchful and curious gaze of the people of Jinling City.
Early in the morning, Li Qingluo invited a lion and dragon dance team to perform in front of the door.
Amid the sound of firecrackers, she and Old Madam Pei stood on the steps, covering each other's ears and watching something so strange that she had never seen before.
Li Qingluo is still dressed as a man today.
This was also to make it easier for them to go out in the future, so everyone only saw that the young master of the Tangguo Restaurant was actually a young and handsome young man.
And this is the first soup pot restaurant in Jinling City!
Everyone was curious, and when the shopkeeper banged the gong loudly and shouted, "Opening——"
In an instant, dozens of people rushed forward.
The hall was packed with people inside and outside.
Li Qingluo had made arrangements beforehand, but even she herself had not expected that so many people would come to join in the fun and try something new.
During the months of preparation, she also listened to many opinions, humbly learned from her grandmother, and secretly visited many restaurants to see how others did it.
So even though there are a lot of people today and it's a mixed crowd, fortunately everything has been prepared in advance and everything is in good order.
All people in a group must first get a number plate and then be seated in order.
There are not only large tables in the hall, but also small tables, and there are even a few tables facing the street under the porch outside the house.
Looking at the snow scene and eating hot pot in winter, although it is a little cold, it will have a different taste.
Keep walking inside and you will reach the terrace by the Qinhuai River. There are also several outdoor seats overlooking the river, and you can also watch the river cruise.
Except for the first floor, the second floor is full of private rooms.
Each private room is not only spacious, but also has windows for ventilation.
There are green plants in the house, a square table with a stove inside, and two tables in the largest room.
However, not everyone can get this elegant room easily, because the number is limited and in short supply, so you need to pay in advance to book a room, no matter whether you are a noble or not.
In addition, Mrs. Pei also noticed that each room had a chimney, which was built from the stove and rose directly to the window.
There is also one in the lobby on the first floor. Small chimneys are gathered together into a large chimney and rise outside the restaurant.
Although Li Qingluo decorated it with vines and green plants, it was hard not to notice them.
Because it's so ugly!
Madam Pei couldn't help but wonder, "Why do you have to keep these ugly things? Grandma thinks everything is beautiful, but this thing is an eyesore."
Li Qingluo explained with a smile, "Grandma, if it weren't for them, my restaurant wouldn't have to wait until today to open. Although they took time to build, they are the most indispensable item for this restaurant!"
"I asked Princess Nanping. When they were in the northwest, they used charcoal stoves to cook their meals. But the mining industry is more developed there, so burning charcoal is more convenient than burning firewood."
"But this is Jinling. If I want to fill the entire shop with the best smokeless charcoal, it's going to be difficult without smoke. And even if it's charcoal, even if I open all the doors and windows, I'm worried that everyone will be knocked out on the first day."
"So, let's burn the firewood."
"A fellow who adds wood to the fire is more economical than smokeless charcoal."
"Although the stove is a bit ugly, it's very warm in winter. For the people in Jinling City, eating around the stove is also a novelty. It's also the most feasible method at the moment."
However, Li Qingluo’s pot charges are not low, so it is still very profitable.
Madam Pei finally nodded. "If the pot tastes good, then all these things are naturally secondary. When running a restaurant, besides being innovative, the most important thing is to have good food. Good taste is the most important thing!"
Li Qingluo studied on his own in the Red Maple Pavilion for several months.
She thoroughly studied the soup base she had thought of earlier.
Nowadays, I just give the recipe to someone I trust, and that person will come with the recipe to prepare the ingredients every day, and I don’t have to worry about it.
"Mei Shuang!"
Que'er saw Mei Shuang busy working and called her over.
Mei Shuang was wearing a veil on her face. When she heard the shout, she immediately turned around and walked over quickly.
"Mei Shuang has met the old lady, has met the aunt... has met the young master."
Li Qingluo smiled faintly. "From now on, I'm going to make you work hard. I'm letting you be the manager of this shop, so you have to pay the manager's fee. Do you understand?"
