Chapter 179: An Interesting Medicinal Restaurant

Mrs. Liao's message came quickly, and Xin An happily agreed to the appointment, and went out with a smile.

The autumn wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the sky was getting colder after a few rains. Thinking that there was still plenty of time, I asked the carriage to take a detour to see the Chinese medicine shop that was being prepared.

The shop is in the south of the city, on the most prosperous Yongkang Road, where dignitaries gather and the traffic is very busy. It is really hard to find a shop here and the rent is expensive.

The two-story shop is very grand. The pillars and door frames are brand new, and you can smell the paint when you get closer. The main entrance has been renovated, and a four-panel screen is placed at the entrance. The space in front of the screen is empty, but you can tell from the space reserved that something will be placed here.

Fang Da, who heard the news, ran out from the back with a look of joy on his face, "Miss, no, why is the Second Young Master's wife here?"

"I just happened to have some free time to come and take a look, but is it almost finished?"

It was Xin An's first time here. He looked around and said, "It's progressing faster than I thought. But the shop is decorated quite interestingly."

Fangda looked around with satisfaction. He had put a lot of effort into the decoration of this shop and was quite proud of it. He began to introduce it without Xin An saying anything, saying that a bonsai would be placed in front of the screen.

"The kind with rockery and flowing water, planting some moss in between and carving some little people is very artistic. There is a bonsai shop in the capital that is very good at making strange and ingenious techniques. It can make the water circulate back and forth, and water brings wealth. It can also raise two carps. It is very suitable to put it here."

Then he invited Xin An to go inside. Behind the screen, there was a craftsman squatting on the ground painting a landscape. There was someone else setting up the scenery next to him, with a lot of sand and stones piled up.

"With a screen at the door, the lobby is not bright enough. The guests who can enter our shop must be rich or noble. I don't think anyone would like to sit in the lobby. It would be interesting to change the lobby into a landscape, with a mountain made of stones, streams flowing through, and medicinal herbs growing in the cracks of the stones..."

Xin An said that he had been to many restaurants, but this was the first time he had seen such an interesting layout. "No dining tables on the first floor?"

The shop has only two floors. Although it is spacious, Xin An feels sad to waste an entire floor.

Facing Xin An's doubts, Fang Da did not answer them immediately. Instead, he led her out of the lobby, turned right from the screen at the door and entered a corridor with wooden floors, and said:

"Behind the landscaping in the lobby are two private rooms. In addition, there was originally a backyard behind the restaurant for the waiters to rest. We rebuilt the backyard."

Pushing open the door of a private room, the tables, chairs, and cabinets in the room had not been delivered yet, but it looked particularly spacious. Opposite the door were two windows, and outside the windows was a garden with a grape rack. It could be seen that the flowers and plants had just been planted. Fang Da smiled and said:

"Look at this small square courtyard. Opposite is our largest private room, which can accommodate 20 people with two round tables. The left and right wing rooms have also been converted into private rooms, two in each. If someone rents the first floor, they can remove the windows of all the rooms. When the host stands in the garden and talks, the guests in the surrounding rooms can see and hear him, and even toast him from afar..."

After the renovation, the square courtyard now has seven private rooms. Xin An imagined the scene of having a meal here. Sitting in the private room, he could see the flowers blooming in the courtyard and smell their fragrance. If he knew the people from the bakery, he could raise a toast to each other. If not, he could lower the curtain or tulle. If he didn't know them but wanted to get to know them, he would have the opportunity.

"Uncle Fang has great talent."

"It was the Second Young Master's wife who gave me enough money."

There are many people with brilliant ideas, but most of them need money to support them. He has plenty of money, so he can naturally implement the best ideas.

After leaving the box and taking a detour into the garden, although she had no knowledge of flowers and plants, she could tell at a glance that the peony in front of her was not an ordinary one, and the variety of roses was also unusual. Fang Da was a little proud, "Originally we were going to the flower and bird market to buy flowers and plants, but by chance we learned that the manager of Qianya Garden was going to sell a batch of peonies and roses of excellent quality, and the price was only 30% of the market price. It was said that the owner of Qianya Garden was tired of these flowers and didn't want them anymore."

When talking about these flowers, Fangda looked as if he had picked up a bargain. He said that he bought all of them when he saw that the flowers were really good. He planted a batch here and the rest were planted in the Xin family's yard. For this purpose, he even specially invited an old gardener to create the landscape, striving to make all of them survive and also to match them with other flowers to make it novel.

Xin An was going to Qianya Garden today, and her heart was slightly moved, but she didn't mind. Even if she didn't buy these flowers from Qianya Garden, they would flow directly into the flower and bird market and would be bought back in the end, just at a different price.

Of course it’s better to get it cheap.

"Would you like to go take a look at the second floor?"

"it is good."

The second floor was still landscaped in the middle, and on the four sides were private rooms, a total of eight rooms, which meant that there were a total of fifteen private rooms in such a large place. "Have we decided on the prices for our dishes?"

"Not yet."

Fangda said that a large part of the dishes had already been decided, and the cost had been recorded in detail, and the price would be determined at the end. Xin An reminded him, "Everything should be done according to the best, and the price should not be set too low, otherwise it would not be in line with the status of those dignitaries."

Fang Da smiled and nodded, thinking that they didn't have to be black-hearted dealers. It was just that if you set the price too low, those dignitaries would think your food was not good, and those who came to eat there would feel embarrassed.

The more expensive it is, the more prestigious it is.

“How long will it take to open?”

Fangda has asked someone to calculate it. "Wait another month. On October 15th, we have a lot of nourishing pots. They are warm when you eat them. By then, the weather will be cool, so eating ours will be just right."

"it is good."

Xin An asked about the grocery store on Yinghui Street again. Fangda said that it had been decorated, the shopkeeper and the clerks were in place, and some of the goods had arrived. "In another half a month, the goods will be fully laid out. We can open the store first, just in time for everyone to buy New Year's goods at the end of the year."

"The owner of the Xu family said that he would arrange for several ships to arrive, and he has already started looking at other shops, trying to catch up with the time before the New Year when everyone is willing to spend money, so as to make a lot of money."

Xin An was very satisfied. After all, doing business requires speed and bustle.

Knowing that Qin Bai had gone out to look for medicinal herbs, he did not wait for him. It was almost time, so he went out and got on the carriage directly to attend the banquet.

Because of this delay, she became the first person to leave but the last to arrive. There were more than twenty different varieties of chrysanthemums in Qianya Garden, most of which were in bud. As soon as she approached, the unique sweet scent of chrysanthemums hit her face.

Lin Yao, who was sitting in the pavilion, waved at her, "Why are you here so late?"

Xin An quickened her pace. She thought there were many people here today, but she was surprised to find that there were only Lin Yao and Mrs. Liao. She smiled and said, "I left early, but on the way I remembered that I had something to do, so I got delayed."
