Chapter 158 Restaurant Opening

On February 29, the restaurant officially opened. The invitation from the Xu family had long been delivered to the mansions of some well-known people in the county. Because the Lu family was worthy of the Lu family, many people came to support it.

Lu Shaoqian brought his family here in person and asked the family manager to help Zhixin receive guests. After all, Zhixin and the others have been here for a short time, and many people have never seen them before. The Lu family manager is different. He is the Lu family's son and has come step by step to his current position. Most of the people with great reputation in the county are known.

Zhixin and the Lu family's manager stood at the door, following Guoxing, Guoqiang, Ankang and Anshun. Several people were here to welcome the guests who came to congratulate him. With the guidance of the Lu family's manager, Zhixin could accurately call out the person's name or identity, so the people came very enthusiastically. Generally, people who came to congratulate him would bring some gifts, and Guoxing and others were responsible for guiding the guests inside and receiving the gifts they gave to the guests.

Wen Han, Zixuan and Pengcheng were not idle either. Several people were responsible for registering the gifts sent by the guests. These were the basis for human relationships. In the future, the Xu family would have to come forward if there was something to do with others.

In the kitchen, Zhu and Jinghan helped change the knife. These apprentices are not good at learning, but they are still trying to change the knife. However, Jinghan has practiced good knife skills with Zhu and Xue over the years, so the two of them helped in the kitchen.

"Oh, Miss Second, your meat is really good." Chef Qian was about to cook a dish, but when he looked back at Jinghan's meat cut, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Master Qian is a joke. I learned some basic knowledge from Aunt San. Today I am too busy and you can't do it, otherwise I can't be embarrassed here." Jinghan said, but the knife in his hand did not stop.

"Come on, you monkeys, come and see the meat that our second lady cuts, and think about what you cut on weekdays. Learn it well for me. When will you be of the second lady level, you will be considered a master." Another master named Gao, after seeing the meat that Jinghan cuts, called all the apprentices to come over and see.

"Okay, I'm showing off my skills. If you want to see it, you have to look at my third aunt's skills. That's good." Jinghan smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Haha, I dare say that there are not many swordsmanship in our third wife in this county. If they see them, they don't know how to learn. It's great that they can get to the second lady like this." Master Gao was very impressed by Zhu's swordsmanship. One day, these two masters competed with Zhu, but they both lost to Zhu. Since then, these two masters have really admired Zhu.

Zhu was working there, and when he heard this, he laughed. "Okay, two masters. I just cut a dish or something, but I can't compare to you in cooking. Let's work quickly. There are many people here today. This is a good opportunity for our restaurant to make a name for themselves. We must seize this opportunity."

"Just look." When the two masters heard Zhu's words, they all felt excited and wanted to use all the skills they saw. For a moment, the kitchen was filled with fragrance, making people's index fingers tremble.

Zhixin and the others were talking to several shopkeepers at the door. From a distance, they saw a few sedan chairs coming from the front. The people following behind were wearing clothes from the county government. When the Lu family manager saw it, he quickly pulled Zhixin to greet him, "That was the magistrate who brought a certain official from the county government to receive him well. With them, no one in your restaurant will dare not give face."

Zhixin looked shaking and hurried to the sedan chair, "I don't know if it's an adult coming, but the grass-roots people come to welcome him late, and I hope he will forgive me." As he said that, he was about to lift his clothes and kneel down.

A voice came from the sedan chair, "Brother Xu, don't be too polite. I, brother Zhixiang, took the exam at the same time, and I, is the same year." Before I finished speaking, a person appeared in the sedan chair. This man was less than thirty years old, fair and handsome, gentle and elegant. "Zhixiang's brother is like my brother. I have seen his brother." As he said that, the man bowed to Zhixin instead.

Zhixin was scared and said repeatedly that he didn't dare. "The adults are the parents of a county, and the people of the grass can't be treated as the adults."

The magistrate was named Wu. He met Zhixiang and Lu Binghao when he was taking the provincial examination. Later, when he went to Beijing to take the exam, the three of them met again and had a great time, so they had some friendship. Later, Zhixiang failed, and this person was ranked 80th in the third place and entered the Hanlin Academy. Lu Binghao had already opened up the joints at home and directly served as the magistrate. Last autumn, the emperor suddenly selected many people from the Hanlin Academy and sent them to various places to work. It was supposed to be to train them. The magistrate Wu happened to come here and become the magistrate.

Over the years, Zhixiang and the magistrate Wu have been in contact with each other. In addition, they have the relationship with the Lu family, so when they meet Zhixin, the magistrate Wu showed great enthusiasm. "You don't need to see me. I'm here for the first time, and I still don't understand the folk customs here. I'll ask you to tell me more later."

"If you want to know, the grass people will know everything and say everything. Please go upstairs first and let's have a good chat." Zhixin did not hear Zhixiang mention this adult's affairs. It seems that Zhixiang and the others came back for the New Year, and they didn't know that Lord Wu came to the local area.

The magistrate took the people behind him, Guoxing led him to a private room upstairs. Lu Shaoqian was there, and everyone sat together to chat.

At the beginning of noon, all the guests who came to congratulate him were here. Zhiming looked at it, "Brother, the time is almost over, let's set off firecrackers." There are no rules for opening business in the north, it's just a few firecrackers.

Wen Han and Peng Cheng each raised a long pole, each carrying a hang of firecrackers. When he heard his father say he could ignite it, he took the firecrackers and lit it. With the sound of firecrackers, the restaurant was officially opened.

Zhixin had already arrived at the second floor. He stood in the middle of the second floor and clasped his fists at the people around him. "You are all famous seniors in this county. Xu is not talented and wants to have some food in this county. Today is Xu's restaurant opening. You are grateful to you. Xu is not very grateful. Xu won't say good words. You are kind and allow me to report to you in the future. Today you can drink and never return without getting drunk."

The table was filled with wine and food, and the tempting fragrance filled the entire restaurant.

After Zhixin finished speaking, someone shouted, "Okay, just for Brother Xu's words, we have to have a few drinks today. I said, Brother Xu, don't stand there, come, let's drink one first." The person who spoke, surnamed Mo, has a pawnshop and a money shop in the county. In this county, he is also a very useful person.

Those here were surprised when they saw the magistrate coming. Not long after Lord Wu came to the local area, he hadn't heard of any business having a relationship with the magistrate. Unexpectedly, a small restaurant in the Xu family actually invited the magistrate, which made everyone look at the Xu family with admiration.

As soon as the man finished speaking, someone next to him echoed, "Yes, Brother Xu should come and have a drink with us. Today is a big day, I have to drink with us."

Zhixin took the wine glass brought by Guoxing, "Seniors, Xu is shallow in alcohol and dare not drink too much. Here we will give you three glasses of wine to express our gratitude in Xu." As he said that, Zhixin drank three glasses of wine in one breath.

"Okay, it's refreshing enough." Everyone applauded.

The atmosphere in the entire restaurant immediately became lively. After three glasses of wine, Zhixin asked Zhiming to accompany everyone to drink outside, while Zhixin entered the private room where the magistrate was located.

The people in the private room can be said to be the highest status and status in the entire county town. The magistrate Wu, the county magistrate Han, the chief clerk of Sun, and the head of the Li team are all here. In addition, there are Lu Shaoqian and his second brother Lu Shaocheng, and a few of them are also famous, and of course, the Qin Master is indispensable.

When there were some invitations, everyone had a dispute over whether to invite Mr. Qin or not, and later decided to send an invitation to the Qin Mansion. This was related to the face of the Qin Mansion. If the entire county invited him, only the Qin family would be left behind, and I was afraid that those who were interested would use this to make a fuss. Besides, there is no serious conflict between the Xu family and the Qin family, at least the Qin family did not make a clear attitude to deal with the Xu family. In this case, it is better to maintain the relationship. There was no evidence yesterday that it was sent by Mr. Qin, right?

"Brother, come and sit down, this afternoon is enough to make you tired." County Magistrate Wu said with a smile.

Which of the people here is not a good person? When did Wu Zhixian call him Zhixin, I couldn't help but wonder, "When did the Xu family get into the relationship between the magistrate? The relationship is really unusual if the magistrate can be called his brother. Everyone is secretly alert in their hearts. When they go back, they have to ask about the background of the Xu family. They should be careful in the future and never mess with the Xu family.

Everyone was talking and laughing together, and the atmosphere was very good. Wu Magistrate asked some questions from time to time, and everyone was scrambling to answer them. In this way, from the official career and economics, he talked about farming and farming. He didn't understand other Zhixin and didn't dare to say more. However, when talking about farming, Zhixin couldn't help but talk a little. Everyone heard him talk and nodded and praised him.
