Grandpa is not vegetarian

On the first day of Tongfu Xiangguo Restaurant’s opening, it was full of customers, and many of them had no seats. They bought a bunch of skewers and a jug of wine, and ate and drank next to the counter. They sweated and shouted happily. .

Mu Yunyi went to the next table to talk to familiar customers, served tea instead of wine, toasted a few tables, and then went upstairs to the private room again.

Fan Ju and the others were having a lively meal. When they saw Mu Yunyi coming in, they immediately vacated their seats, and pulled over the spare chair in the room to eat with him. The staff sat outside.

Member Zhao's face was radiant after eating: "Yun Yi, you did a good job. I have eaten hot pot at home, but it is not as delicious as yours."

Mu Yunyi filled the wine glasses for everyone one by one, and then said: "Eat this food, you have to be lively. Not only are there a lot of people, but you can't be restrained. Everyone let go of their hearts and eat and chew. This is fun."

Wei Juren said: "It's too hot to eat. The snow outside is just right. Why don't we open the window and let's eat while enjoying the snow?"

Everyone agreed, Wei Juren didn't need anyone to do it, he went to open the window by himself, and failed to open it after a few times. It turns out that the window is not the upper-opening window that is the mainstream at this time, but the opposite-opening window, although at this time There are also people with side-opening windows, but there are few such windows on the second floor, and the upstairs is windy, so the side-opening windows are easier to get wind and soil than the upper-opening windows, and they cannot shade the sun. People made a fast window sill with wooden boards, and there were two layers of pins on the upper and lower levels. Wei Juren failed to open it for a while.

Mu Yunyi walked around behind Fan Juren, pulled out the pin, and pushed the window open.

The snow scene outside is just right, it is bigger than before, and there are small snowflakes the size of fingertips, sliding down with a bit of slanting wind.Opposite the hotpot restaurant are low-rise shops. At a glance, across several courtyards, it is the back garden of the Chiang Mansion, which is two acres in size. There are artificially dug ponds, stacked rockeries, various trees, flowers and plants. I also keep pets such as sika deer and monkey golden pheasant. If it looks good in summer, the vegetation will wither, and the birds and animals will all enter the greenhouse. Only a bare rockery and a pond can be seen.

Wei Juren drank wine, and when the cold wind blew at this time, he became excited: "The scenery here is not good. One day I will be a host and go to a village outside the city to eat. Over there, I can see a vast expanse of whiteness. It’s only when you’re dressed in silver that you open your heart.”

Fan Juren said with a smile: "It's not good in your place. It's better to eat here in Yunyi. Besides, I'm sitting here, and all I can see are dark clouds and gray clouds, and the snow is falling. It's also very good. You have to go to the window to see it." , Naturally, there will be no good scenery!"

Wei Juren smiled lightly, and continued to drink and eat meat when he came back. He even ate a few slices of mutton, took another sip of strong wine, and praised: "This meat is delicious, and the soup tastes really good. I just said that our family's No cook can do that."

Mu Yunyi smiled and said: "It's good that you like to eat, if you think about it later, just come and eat."

Member Zhao said: "Then you are not afraid that we will give you a yellow shop! We are all big-bellied men, and we have finished three plates of mutton, and this grilled fish fillet. What can you do? If you figure it out, then you can eat it directly, the more you chew it, the more delicious it will be, and it’s really good when you cook it in soup like this, look at this, it’s delicious in color and flavor.” He picked up a fish fillet, Put it in a bowl, dip it in the soup and eat it, nodding repeatedly, "The cook in my family doesn't have this skill either."

Mu Yunyi said: "Most of these were figured out by Brother Chun, and he can only make such a few simple snacks. The cooks in your family are all hired with a lot of money, and the cooking skills passed down from one's ancestors are often a meal. How many dishes, how can we compare?"

"Even those noodles, they just look good, but they taste like that," Wei Juren continued.

Fan Juren pointed to the calligraphy and paintings on the wall with his chopsticks and asked Mu Yunyi, "You made these?" Seeing Mu Yunyi nodding, he shook his head and sighed, "What a pity, what a pity! Such a good thing is hung here, It's just to decorate us stupid foodies, and after a long time, it will be smoky, and it will all be tarnished."

Mu Yunyi said: "I didn't put much effort in drawing these words. They were mostly freehand brushwork. They were hung up for three months, and when they got dirty, I took them off and replaced a batch."

Fan Juren still shook his head: "Your skills in writing and painting are really good, but these are just small ambitions. The key is to focus on economics. You will be admitted next year, but the stereotyped articles It cannot be neglected."

Mu Yunyi said: "I know this, and I can clearly distinguish the priority from the secondary. Now, except for storytelling in the teahouse, I do my research at home every day. I write an article every two days, and I never stop."

Although it was said that the bowls and chopsticks were served, Mu Yunyi couldn't really sit here, but after eating for a while, he went out to other rooms to chat with the guests one by one, and after a round, he was quite full.

At noon, Fan Juren and the others left after eating, and they all asked the servants to congratulate the grand opening with money in red cloth bags.

Mu Yunyi said: "I don't accept gifts today, I just invite everyone to come and have fun. If you are willing to show your face and come to join us, I am already very grateful. This gift money is not acceptable."

Zhao Yuanwai was dissatisfied and said: "On the first day of your business, we old guys will come here to eat your kid's house for nothing? We give gifts, and you receive gifts. This is the usual practice. We don't give gifts. If you don’t accept it, it’s also rude, if you really don’t accept it, we will never be able to come here again in the future!”

Hearing what he said, Mu Yunyi asked Qu Chi to accept the gifts. Fan Juren and Wei Juren received ten taels each, Zhao Yuanwai received twenty taels, and the other shopkeepers also had five taels and two taels. Butou Yue and the others also pooled in a dime. Jiang Changyou originally prepared five taels of silver, but now he saw what others had given him, gritted his teeth, and added another five taels.

In the afternoon, when Mu Yunyi was making accounts in the teahouse, Gu Yu came to look for him: "Young Master told me to come to you, saying that you should go to the hotpot restaurant to look for him at night, so you don't have to go back to Pine Forest Street."

Mu Yunyi was a little strange, so he hurriedly finished the accounts, and told An Xiaobei and Qingluo to lock the doors and windows. Now that Quchi is going to the restaurant, Qingluo will take over as the team leader of the second team here. It was a bit reconciled to be the team leader, but he was convinced of Qingluo, the "senior", so that's all.

Although Qu Chi was transferred away, he was Chen Hexuan's domestic slave, and Mu Yunyi had no right to hire him directly. If he wanted to hire him, he told Chen Hexuan that they were working in the teahouse because of Chen Hexuan. Xiaobei Diao used to be the most suitable, but the teahouse needs someone who can handle it alone. Qingluo came here for too short a time and was not familiar with many businesses, so I had to transfer Quchi, but the teahouse still gets the wages, and at night Come back here to live.

Back at the hotpot restaurant, it was already closed. The guys all changed into rough clothes, cleaned up the cups and plates, wiped the tables and chairs, and when they saw Mu Yunyi, they greeted each other: "Second Young Master is back!"

Mu Yunyi always felt that the title of Second Young Master was a bit strange. He nodded and walked quickly through the hallway, because the store in front was very noisy with people coming and going, and the owner of the backyard was not good at Feng Shui, so Gao Yichun asked the craftsman to set up a A two-meter-high screen, made of blue bricks, is surrounded from left to right to block the hustle and bustle of the store. The lower part is slightly wider for seats, and the upper part is slightly narrower and painted white. Mu Yunyi wants to be on it. Painting a mural is just too busy to work hard.

Going around the screen and coming to the upper room, Gao Yichun was counting money on the table in the hall, when he saw Mu Yunyi coming in, he smiled from ear to ear: "Yuanbao, do you know how much money we earned today?"

"How much? Do you have five taels of silver?"

"How can there be so much!" Gao Yichun said, "Just in his early [-]s, but today's dishes are half price, and none of the four private rooms charge money, that's it, and he earned more than [-], if the normal selling price If not, I’m afraid it will cost two or three times!”

Mu Yunyi chuckled: "Don't be too happy, today is the first day of opening, there will naturally be more guests, and I'm afraid it won't be half of today's, you can do the math..."

"Then there will be three or five taels of silver!" Gao Yichun came over and hugged Mu Yunyi, turned around twice in place, and couldn't help kissing Mu Yunyi's forehead and cheek five or six times, "Yuanbao, you It's really my ingot, I can have today, thanks to you."

Mu Yunyi felt a little uncomfortable being hugged by him, broke free, and landed on both feet: "Don't say that, the main reason is that you are good at cooking. Wei Juren and the others said that their cooks can't compare with yours. " He glanced left and right, "Why did you bring me here? It will be dark later, why don't you turn off the lights and go home."

"What kind of home are you going back to? Isn't this our home?" Gao Yichun pulled him into the back room, "I asked them to move all the things here, and we will live here from now on." After entering the back room, sure enough The bedding and pillows have been laid out on the kang, "Your books, pens, ink and inkstones are all placed in the west study. I also brought your clothes, shoes, socks, and daily necessities, and put them in the cabinet. We will live here!"

Mu Yunyi stretched out his hand and took a mold under the quilt. The kang was warm, which was not bad.

Gao Yichun fetched water and said, "Xiaoyi and Xiaole are not here, I will wait for you to wash your hands and feet from now on."

Mu Yunyi hurriedly stopped: "What are you doing? I have hands and feet myself, so why do I need someone to serve me? Besides, even if I want to serve, it's not your turn. There are four other professionals out there."

Gao Yichun couldn't help but come over and untie the silk sash around his waist, remove the big belt, take off the robe, hang it on the hanger, and let him wash his hands and face: "They are clumsy, how can they serve you well? Let alone you Although you have hands and feet, they are my ingots, you have worked hard to support me and Xiaowu for the past year, from now on, you will be your second young master and teach me everything." After Mu Yunyi washed his hands and face, he dried them with a towel, then picked him up and let him sit on the kang, squatted down and took off his boots and socks, and grabbed a pair of white and tender feet and put them in the water, "You will enjoy the blessings in the future, You don’t have to work hard anymore, do you know that last year you went from the village to the county town, back and forth one day a day, blowing the north wind for four hours on the bullock cart, but I could only watch and worry, I couldn’t help you, You are small and weak, although you don't suffer from any disease, you are afraid that you will also suffer from a hidden disease, you must take good care of it, strengthen your vitality..."

Mu Yunyi let him wash his feet embarrassingly, and couldn't help but said, "Brother Yichun, did you find that you talked too much today?"
