After the system ran, I took off with my family

"Don't worry, have you arranged everything I asked you to do?" Lin Shuyue soothed.

Seeing the young lady's unhurried appearance, Shopkeeper Hu calmed down a little and replied, "It's ready. I specially chose the table near the door."

At this time, a horse-drawn carriage drove towards the restaurant. Everyone in the Lin family smiled knowingly. When the carriage stopped, they saw Wu Yu'an and He Yujiao coming out of the carriage.

"Uncle Lin, Auntie, Ayuan, Ayue, good luck with your grand opening!"

Wu Yuanan and He Yujiao smiled and bowed to congratulate. Then, Wu Mo came forward holding a heavy box and said, "This is the opening gift that Yujiao and I specially selected."

When I opened the lid, I saw that it was a lucky cat.

"Thank you Yuan An!" Lin An touched the lucky cat lovingly, and then asked Manager Hu to take people to put the lucky cat on the counter.

Wu Yuanan was wearing casual clothes today, but some sharp-eyed people still recognized him, and many passers-by stopped.

When the shop owners of various restaurants and shops on South Street heard that the county magistrate was attending the opening ceremony of a restaurant, they all came to join in the fun and take a look at who the owner of this restaurant was and who could invite the county magistrate.

As a result, many people soon gathered in front of the restaurant.

When the auspicious time arrived, Shopkeeper Hu lit firecrackers, while Lin Anze and Wu Yuanan each pulled a corner of the red cloth, and under the curious gaze of the crowd, they tore off the red cloth, revealing a plaque with three large characters "Xunweilou" inscribed on it.

But what shocked the restaurant owners was that under the plaque was Wu Yuanan’s signature. So, this plaque was also given by the county magistrate?

Who is the owner of Xunweilou? It seems that I need to send a message to the owner.

After the firecrackers stopped, Lin An stood up and said in a loud voice: "Dear fellow villagers, my surname is Lin, and I am the owner of Xunweilou. Xunweilou is opening today, and everyone is welcome to come in and taste the food."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong, spicy and fresh aroma that made people salivate came from the lobby of the restaurant. The aroma made the onlookers feel itchy and they all stood on tiptoe to look inside the door.

"Mr. Lin, what kind of food are you selling? It smells so good. Let us in!"

"Yeah yeah..."

Seeing this, Lin An hurriedly stepped aside with a smile, and Manager Hu immediately came forward with eight waiters to welcome the customer into the store.

When everyone entered the lobby, they saw some washed ingredients placed on the table near the door. The pot in the middle of the table was making a gurgling sound. The alluring fragrance just now came from this pot, but it was covered with a lid, so they couldn't see what was cooking inside. The other tables in the lobby were empty.

Everyone was very confused, and one person took the initiative to ask: "Boss, what's going on? These dishes are all raw? What's cooking in the pot? It smells so good?"

Shopkeeper Hu explained with a smile: "The food in our store is called hot pot, which is unique to our Great Zhou Dynasty. The way to eat it is similar to shabu-shabu, but our hot pot base is fried with a secret recipe passed down from our ancestors. I'll let the waiter show you how to do it."

Then a waiter approached the table and lifted the lid. Instantly, a rich aroma filled the entire lobby and drifted out the door to the street.

All you can see is the red, spicy and fragrant hot pot base bubbling in the pot, which makes people's appetite grow.

The waiter picked up a thin piece of mutton with chopsticks and put it into the boiling pot. After it was cooked, he took it out, coated it with the prepared sauce, and stuffed it into his mouth, eating with a look of intoxication on his face.

Everyone was drooling as they watched; the taste was so delicious.

The next moment, a plump middle-aged man sat down next to the waiter and took a bite of the mutton, imitating the waiter. The tender mutton with spicy juice made him squint his eyes, "It's really delicious! Taste it, taste it, find the most delicious food in the world!"

Many people know this middle-aged man. He is a well-known glutton in the county, Wang Laotao. He loves to eat and only picks the good ones. If he thinks it tastes good, it must be right.

So, everyone found a table and sat down, and eight waiters immediately came forward with hand-painted menus to take their orders.

Everyone looked at the menu with pictures and text in curiosity. They saw that the various vegetables and meats were marked with prices. They nodded with satisfaction and turned to the back, where they saw the words "Today's special, limited to one serving per table."

"Young man, what does this mean?" someone asked the guy next to him.

The waiter smiled and said, "Our boss will bring back some fresh food from time to time, but the quantity is not large, and each table can only order one. Sir, would you like to try it? It will definitely satisfy you."

"Okay, then give me one portion. I want to see what the heck it is." Similar conversations were heard at every table in the lobby.

At the gate of Xunwei Building, the head of the Ma family, Mr. Wang, and the head of the Zhao family, who had hurried over after hearing the news, were congratulating the Lin family.

"Congratulations to Mr. Lin on his grand opening! This is a small gift from me, I hope you will accept it!"

The head of the Ma family was a middle-aged man of medium height, a bit round in figure, and a kind face. After he finished speaking, the servant behind him presented him with a gift box.

Lin An bowed his hands to express his thanks, and waved to Qingyuan to take the gift box. Mr. Wang and the head of the Zhao family also presented their gifts one by one.

"Yuan'an, Master Ma, Mr. Wang, Master Zhao, please go to the private room upstairs!" Lin An led them into the lobby, Lin Shuyuan followed behind him, and the group went straight to the private room on the second floor.

The three heads of the Ma family stood on the stairs and glanced at the crowded and bustling lobby, a gleam of light flashed in their eyes.

Li led He Yujiao to another private room. Lin Shuyue did not follow them. She was standing behind the counter observing the situation in the lobby.

There are a total of fifteen tables in the lobby, and now they are all occupied. The waiters are serving the dishes in an orderly manner, and the guests look very satisfied.

However, she noticed that a fat middle-aged man ordered much more dishes than the others, and he ate slowly, closing his eyes from time to time to savor the food.

Lin Shuyue asked Shopkeeper Hu in a low voice what was going on with that man. Shopkeeper Hu looked at the middle-aged man and laughed, "I heard that he is a famous gourmet in the county and he is very picky. However, with his approval, our store's business will definitely be good."

At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the lobby.

"There's actually fresh octopus!" Everyone exclaimed as they looked at the octopus still twisting in the basin.

Shopkeeper Hu looked at the guests' surprised and delighted expressions with satisfaction, and his admiration for his young lady grew even more.

In the private room on the second floor, the three family heads restrained themselves and tasted a little of each ingredient, but they were all surprised when they saw the fresh octopus.

At this moment, they were secretly glad that Xunweilou was just a hot pot restaurant and that the dishes did not conflict with those of their own restaurant. Otherwise, they would not be able to defeat Xunweilou based on the ingredients alone.
