After the system ran, I took off with my family

The three of them looked at the octopus twisting its body in the basin, and their hearts moved. They raised their glasses and complimented Lin An enthusiastically, and tried to find out the source of seafood at Xunweilou through their words.

The three of them cooperated with each other and made Lin An drink a lot of wine, but he remained calm and spoke without making any mistakes. Lin Shuyuan, who was standing aside, ate hot pot silently and secretly lit candles for the three family heads in his heart.

In fact, since Lin An started practicing calligraphy, he would go to the study to read for an incense stick of time every day. Coupled with the experience of this year, he is no longer the clumsy and soft-hearted man in Yunhua Village.

Even after the three family heads were drunk to the point of being red in the face, they still couldn't get any useful words out of him.

Wu Yuanan, who was standing next to him, watched and laughed secretly. He put one hand under the eaves of the table and gave Lin An a thumbs-up. Lin An happened to be bending down to adjust his sleeves and saw his gesture at a glance. He curled the corners of his mouth slightly and continued to raise his glass to greet the three heads of the families as if nothing had happened.

After three rounds of drinks, after seeing off the dizzy Ma, Wang and Zhao masters who were supported by servants, Wu Yuanan also stood up and said goodbye with the satisfied He Yujiao.

Lin An and others knew that he had taken time out of his busy schedule to come and support them, so they did not try to keep him, but only said that they would treat him well next time.

In Xunweilou, the bustle continues, and from time to time, passers-by or people nearby are attracted into the store by the alluring aroma.

As night falls, business becomes even more prosperous, and many people are recommended by relatives and friends who have eaten in the store at noon.

When Lin Shuyan came to Xunweilou after school in the evening, he saw such a bustling scene. The eight waiters were busy all the time.

There was no curfew in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and by the time the last table of guests left Xunwei Tower, it was almost midnight.

At this time, Lin Shuyue's family, Shopkeeper Hu, and Accountant Wu were reviewing today's situation in the lobby.

"The guys did a great job today. Not only did they not make any mistakes, they were also able to quickly answer the customers' questions. Shopkeeper Hu, thanks to your good instruction. You've worked hard."

Based on a day's observation, Lin Shuyue took the lead in praising the eight waiters and also recognized the work of Manager Hu.

When Shopkeeper Hu heard the young lady's approval, he felt as sweet as if he had drunk honey.

At this time, Wu, the accountant next to Manager Hu, put down his abacus, wrote on the account book for a while, and then handed it to Lin Shuyue, "Miss, today's account has been calculated, please take a look."

Lin Shuyue took the account book and looked through it carefully. The account book was very detailed and all the income and expenditure were clearly visible.

Excluding the private rooms, the lobby received a total of 91 tables today, and the private rooms received 30 tables, with a total of 153 taels and 200 coins collected. Excluding the cost of food, drinks, charcoal, and labor, Xunweilou's profit today was about 98 taels.

She passed the account book to Lin An and others. They looked at the account book with surprise and joy.

"The profit for this day is nearly a hundred taels of silver!" Li exclaimed.

Lin Shuyue shook her head and explained, "Today is the first day of opening. Many people are curious and come here to join in the fun, so it's normal that business is good. The customer flow will definitely decrease in a few days, and then slowly stabilize."

Hotpot has just come out, and most of the people who come to eat it now are there to try something new. Over time, the number of customers will decrease, after all, they can't eat hotpot every day.

Li was not discouraged after hearing this, as she was very confident in the taste of her own hot pot.

"Miss, the octopus in our store is very popular among customers. Many customers think that selling only one portion is too little. What do you think..." Shopkeeper Hu hesitated.

Lin Shuyue understood what he meant and shook her head to refuse. "No, seafood is another trump card and feature of Xunweilou besides the hot pot base. Scarcity makes things valuable. If there are too many, it won't be rare."

Besides, she planned to hire a few people to go to the beach to catch seafood every day after consuming all the seafood in the space, and then have Qingwu deliver it to Xunweilou early in the morning. She couldn't tie herself up in the restaurant all the time.

Her words made Manager Hu suddenly realize that he had been thinking too simply. He admired the young lady's foresight and wisdom even more.

As the night deepened, the group returned to Jing'an Lane.

In the carriage, Lin An suddenly remembered what Patriarch Ma, Mr. Wang, and Patriarch Zhao had said during the day, and said with some worry: "Xiao Ya, the seafood at Xunweilou has attracted the attention of those three families. If they covet it..."

"Dad, don't worry. They are concerned about our relationship with Brother Wu. Even if they have any intentions, they won't do it for a while. But we still have to warn the people in the store not to fall into their traps."

In fact, when she decided to add seafood to Xunweilou, she thought that those wealthy families would definitely set their sights on her own restaurant.

This is also the reason why she asked Wu Yuanan to write the plaque, and the fact that Wu Yuanan and Sister Yujiao were so supportive today was probably because they wanted to support their family.

For several days in a row, Lin Shuyue and Lin An went back and forth between Jing'an Lane and Xunweilou. The customer flow of Xunweilou did not decrease as Lin Shuyue had expected, and it was still as full as the opening day.

Nowadays, Xunweilou's hotpot has become famous in the county, and some people even come from the provincial capital just to try whether the hotpot is really that delicious.

As the afterglow of the setting sun fell, in the flower hall in the front yard of the Ma residence, Ma Wenshan glanced at Wang Fusheng and Zhao Hanye sitting below him, slowly picked up the teacup beside him, and took a sip.

After a while, Wang Fusheng finally lost his patience, put down his teacup, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Wenshan, Brother Hanye, my people have already found out the details of the Lin family.

Their family was just refugees who fled from Anqing Prefecture three months ago and settled in Lanshan Village. They sent their youngest son to school a few days ago. They did not come from the capital as we had originally thought, and they have no connection with Magistrate Wu’s prefecture.”

"If that's the case, why does the magistrate take so much care of the Lin family? He even specially wrote a plaque for their restaurant?" Zhao Hanye asked puzzledly.

At first, they all thought that the Lin family came from the capital and had a close relationship with the Wu Mansion in the capital, so County Magistrate Wu took such care of them.

"I have a guess about this, brother Hanye. Did you see Miss Lin when Xunweilou opened its doors that day?"

Wang Fusheng remembered something, and the smile on his face loosened a little, and he whispered: "As far as I know, the county magistrate's wife and this girl from the Lin family often go out, and the county magistrate's wife and the county magistrate Wu have been married for more than a year, but they have no children. The county magistrate's wife must be worried."

"Just when such a good-looking and easy-to-control civilian girl happened to appear, what do you think she was planning to do by getting so close to her? Moreover, with such a young and beautiful girl hanging around, do you think Magistrate Wu would be tempted?"

Zhao Hanye suddenly understood what he said, "So that's how it is. Then we have to be more polite to the Lin family."

"Tsk...Brother Hanye, why can't you think straight?" Wang Fusheng glanced at him.
