The warm life of farming
Chapter 52
It has been a long time since he cooked the meals, and he has already had great confidence in his craftsmanship.But it is definitely not enough for a restaurant to have only one cook.
Mu Yuan immediately thought of Uncle Li.
Since the source closed down, Uncle Li has been idle at home.
Originally, the whole family counted on Uncle Li's source of income to support the family, but now that the income is cut off, life may be difficult.Although you can go home and farm, it is a waste to use this good cooking skill to farm.
When Mu Yuan was still helping at the source, Uncle Li took care of him a lot.If Mu Yuan wants to hire another cook, Uncle Li must be the best candidate.
Thinking of this, Mu Yuan couldn't rest anymore, and rushed to Uncle Li's house excitedly.
What Mu Yuan thought was right, since Uncle Li left the restaurant, he was indeed worrying about his future livelihood.Knowing Mu Yuan's intentions now, he is naturally very happy.
"Who would have thought that you would actually buy the restaurant after so many days, haha." Uncle Li laughed heartily, happy for himself and for Mu Yuan.
Mu Yuan was modest, "It's really lucky, otherwise this restaurant wouldn't be my turn to pick up bargains."
"Oh? How do you say that?"
Uncle Li didn't know the specific reason and process of the matter, so when he heard what happened from Mu Yuan, he immediately flew into a rage, "Zhang Qing is really a white-eyed wolf!! Back then, shopkeeper Xie trained him in the day shift, and he didn't know how to repay him. That's all, now he has joined forces with outsiders to destroy the source, really, really is a wolf-hearted thing!!"
Mu Yuan knew that a person like Uncle Li who hated clearly would have to thank the shopkeeper for injustice after hearing this.
Mu Yuan sneered, "Now he has opened another restaurant with his own money, and if he becomes the shopkeeper as he wishes, I don't know if he has a conscience. But since he can do such a thing, I'm afraid he won't I feel that there is something wrong with my conscience.”
Uncle Li was sad, thinking that when he was in the source restaurant, the shopkeeper Xie treated him well, and he didn't expect to end up in such a situation.
"Thank you shopkeeper now?" Uncle Li asked.
"The source made Zhang Qing tormented, and he seemed to be discouraged and unwilling to live in Yaocheng. From what he said, he seemed to be planning to return to his hometown."
Uncle Li suddenly thought, "Now that you have accepted the source, then... Zhang Qing won't trip us up, will he?"
"Ha!" Mu Yuan laughed and said, "I'm not afraid of him. There are various reasons why Yuanyuan can't continue. Zhang Qing hasn't been able to stand up to the sky. It's time to stab him with a knife."
Uncle Li frowned, "I know this too, but his character is not reliable. In addition, after planning for so long, you finally let your kid take advantage of it. I'm afraid he will think about how to revenge you."
"If he really cheats on me, then we can't stop him?" Mu Yuan smiled indifferently, "I can't just close this restaurant just because I'm afraid of it, right?"
Hearing this, Uncle Li smiled relievedly, "Haha, yes. The man is afraid that this and that will not work."
The two laughed, Mu Yuan paused, and said after considering, "Uncle Li, there is something I have to tell you first."
"what?"
"This time, I plan to let Brother Zhao be the chef."
Uncle Li was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "I understand. Zhao Er has learned the 'fish leaping over the dragon's gate' by now. I thought of it when Xie shopkeeper gave the prescription to Zhao Er. Besides, Zhao Er is indeed better than I have a craft."
Seeing that Uncle Li didn't look dissatisfied when he said this, Mu Yuan felt relieved.At the beginning, he really didn't know how to say it, so he couldn't say directly, 'Your skills are not as good as Zhao Er, I can't let you be the chef'.Thinking about it now, Uncle Li and Zhao Er have always had a good relationship, and Uncle Li is not such a small-hearted person, so it seems that he will underestimate people at that time.
Mu Yuan naturally wouldn't say what he was thinking, and after thinking about it, he said, "The dish 'Yuyuelongmen' can no longer be regarded as a signature dish. Now that other restaurants have made it, it has lost its unique value. "
"Then what should we do?" Uncle Li asked anxiously.
Mu Yuan smiled, "Of course I'm researching new dishes."
Uncle Li was surprised when he heard the words, "New dishes?"
"Yes, you and Second Brother Zhao will start preparing from tomorrow." Mu Yuan said, "There have been many restaurants in Yaocheng for a long time. If we want to grab customers from them, we can only buy special dishes , Put more effort into the signature dishes. We must ensure that the dishes in the restaurant are new and unique, so delicious that they will linger on them."
Uncle Li was dumbfounded, Mu Yuan's words were clearly deliberate.Looking at Mu Yuan's confident look, Uncle Li seemed to have seen that the restaurant will be full of guests in the future.
After returning from Uncle Li's house, Mu Yuan started to work on the renovation of the restaurant.
At first, Mu Yuan drew a design drawing of a luxury restaurant with great interest, but An Ran rejected it after only one glance.
"Do you need these flashy carvings on the tables, chairs and benches?"
"This is for the effect to look good and distinctive."
"Is bright yellow a color that ordinary people can use?"
"Uh, let's change the color then?"
"It's fine to put one or two antique vases, we are a restaurant, why do we need so many? Are you afraid of being stolen?"
"This one……"
"Also, what are you doing with an ornamental fish in the middle of the lobby? Why don't you set up an extra table for guests if you have this space!"
"I……"
"Well, even if you use your blueprint, do you know how much silver it will cost?"
"..."
Mu Yuan was instantly killed.
Silver, silver, although it seems that he is always making money, he also spends a lot.Now that there are silver taels left, it is natural to plan and use them rationally.If you want to follow his flashy design drawings, you have to push the restaurant to a new building.
Helpless, Mu Yuan had no choice but to hold his wounded heart and find a professional to come and design it.In the end, the only thing in the entire restaurant that needs major changes is the room where shopkeeper Xie lived on the second floor.
It was originally an unused private room, but shopkeeper Xie tidied it up as his temporary residence for convenience.Now under Mu Yuan's planning, it has become a private room again.
Mu Yuan is busy resting and reorganizing the restaurant, and he has to help figure out new dishes on the other side. He is really busy.Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and Zhao Er and Uncle Li came up with a lot of new things.
The preparations for the restaurant were almost done, and Mu Yuan began to think about opening the door.
As for the name of the restaurant, Mu Yuan couldn't think of a good one either.In the end, Uncle Li's "Fu Yuan Restaurant" won unanimous praise from everyone.As for the name, what I want is good luck.
Thus, the name of the restaurant was decided.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
Mu Yuan began to think about how the east wind should blow.
The restaurants in Yaocheng are already saturated, and most of the customers have their own favorite places. If Fuyuan Restaurant wants to attract customers from the beginning, it really needs to work hard.
If there are no customers, no matter how good the dishes are, it will be in vain if no one comes.
Mu Yuan made up his mind on the day the restaurant opened, and it was bound to come up with a new and memorable way.
"The day of the opening is the best opportunity. We have to figure it out. How should we do it in a meaningful way?" Mu Yuan dragged An Ran to lie on the grass in the space, very leisurely.
An Ran's eyes sparkled and she turned her head to look at Mu Yuan excitedly, "Shall we also invite the dragon and lion dance team? We also need to buy some firecrackers, so that it will be lively."
"This is possible!"
An Ran laughed and said: "I only saw a dragon dance team once when I was young, when I went to the city with my father. There was really no other way, so he bought me a bag of honey and coaxed me home."
Mu Yuan held An Ran's hand tightly, "I can't see that you were so reckless when you were a child. If you like it, then let's invite a dragon dance team. You can see it whenever you want this time."
The two lay there facing each other, looking into each other's eyes, and an ambiguous feeling slowly grew in the air.
"An Ran, I think..." Mu Yuan slowly approached the other party while talking.
An Ran's face gradually turned red, and she was a little shy, "Father said, I'm still too young for this matter."
"No," Mu Yuan said on rare occasions when he was embarrassed, "I just want to kiss you. Uncle An really agrees with us, but he still doesn't let me kiss you." Mu Yuan said Feel wronged.
Originally, the two of them managed to get their name right, and it was already legal for them to kiss their little mouths with their little hands, okay?But when Father An saw it, he still had a bearded and staring expression, and in the end, An Ran refused to let him kiss him.Mu Yuan was about to cry.
An Ran burst out laughing, gave Mu Yuan a blank look, and said, "That's why you insisted on kissing me in front of dad. Who is to blame? Even ordinary couples are not so bold. You said dad saw it." , can you be happy?"
Mu Yuan stepped forward to hug An Ran, put him in his arms, and shouted: "Could this be on purpose? You go to work with Uncle An every day and I can't see you. I haven't had time when you come back." Kiss you, your father suddenly appeared, I wonder if Uncle An is deliberately trying to make things difficult for me, how can it be so coincidental every time?!"
An Ran could clearly see her father's narrow-mindedness, it was nothing more than a little vengeance after compromising with them.But An Ran didn't plan to tell Mu Yuan about it, it was also a pleasure to see Mu Yuan's devastated look every day.
An Ran reached out and squeezed Mu Yuan's chin, and asked with a smile, "Are you still kissing?"
"Dear!" Mu Yuan rushed forward.
After giving up the kiss, both of them were a little breathless.
Mu Yuan rubbed his arms against An Ran, and suddenly said: "When we're done with this busy period, shall we get married?"
An Ran was taken aback, "We two? How can we get married?"
"Why can't you? Treat the guests when you need them, pay your respects when you need them, and let's not miss anything that we should have!"
Before An Ran could be moved, she heard Mu Yuan continue to say:
"Hmph, when we get married, I'll see how Uncle An will stop me!"
An Ran is speechless, this is why they co-authored and got married?
56
It was lunch time.
In the Anjia hall, the atmosphere is weird.
Without raising her head, An Ran quietly fed Xiao Yu with food.
Xiaoyu looked at the hill in the bowl with a bitter face.
Zhao Er had a distorted expression of wanting to laugh but struggling to bear it.
And what about Mu Yuan?Mu Yuan was listlessly listening to Father An's non-stop nagging.
"There's so much work in the field, you said you'd ask An Ran to advise you, but what did you two do all morning?"
"Take care of me and kiss me." Mu Yuan muttered softly.
"What do you say?"
……
Damn, if you keep talking about it, the food will get cold.Mu Yuan raised his head and winked at An Ran for help,
An Ran was feeling guilty here, bowed his head for a long time, his neck was sore, just about to raise his head to move around, he saw Mu Yuan winking at him, fearing that his father would see and nag again, so he quickly lowered his head again, ignoring Mu Yuan called for help.
Mu Yuan had nowhere to ask for help, so he could only turn to Zhao Er in desperation.
The two of Zhao are honest, as soon as this side received Mu Yuan's distress signal, the other side bit the bullet and pleaded for mercy.
"Father An, look, Mu Yuan is going to the city soon, the young couple have to be separated after being together for two days... just not for these two days, just, cough, let them relax .”
Mu Yuan nodded again and again, silently grateful to Zhao Er.
Father An paused, left this behind, and looked at that again,
Mu Yuan looked back at Father An pitifully, while An Ran accelerated the speed of picking up food for Xiao Yu.Xiao Yu watched in horror as the small mountain in her bowl turned into a large mountain.
"Don't, don't pinch it." Xiao Yu hurriedly said with a frowning face, "Brother, there are too many to eat."
"Ah..." An Ran stopped her chopsticks in embarrassment.
Father An sighed secretly, knocked on the table and said, "Eat well."
Only then did Mu Yuan pass the test.
After lunch, Mu Yuan wandered around the room, thinking about what to do for a grand opening ceremony.
After all, Mu Yuan is only a student at school, and has never had much social experience, let alone business.But fortunately, he has a smart head, at least he knows how to learn from other places.
Mu Yuan wondered, should there be a food tasting event?But I feel that this is not novel enough, nor attractive enough.
Just as he was thinking, An Ran pushed the door open and came in.
Seeing An Ran, Mu Yuan was pleasantly surprised: "I thought you were taken away by Dad, come and let me kiss you!"
An Ran hugged Mu Yuan's waist, and responded to his eager kiss.After a while, the two separated.
An Ran blushed and was very happy, "Father asked me to help you pack things at home these few days."
"Wow~" Mu Yuan suddenly felt that all the hard work has come to an end, "Is Dad finally willing to let me go?"
An Ran looked funny and ignored him, "What were you doing there when I came in just now?"
As soon as this was mentioned, Mu Yuan felt a headache, "It's not just about opening, I'm thinking about what to do."
"Haven't you already decided to invite a dragon dance team?"
"Well," Mu Yuan scratched his head, "I don't think it's lively enough."
"Isn't this lively enough?" An Ran sneered, "Could it be that you still want to find another juggling troupe to perform for you?"
"Performance?"
Mu Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Yes, you can perform! An Ran, you are really my baby!" Mu Yuan danced and danced, stepped forward to give An Ran a fierce wolf kiss, which immediately stunned An Ran.
"Second brother Zhao and I went to Uncle Li's house." Before An Ran could react, Mu Yuan let go of him and rushed out.
"Mix dishes?" Uncle Li and Zhao Er asked in unison.
"Yes!" Mu Yuan smiled all over his face. "I mean let's put on a show."
"Xiu?" Uncle Li and Zhao Er looked at each other, then turned to look at Mu Yuan in confusion.
"It's a performance! Let's put it this way, you all know juggling, right?" Mu Yuan said excitedly, "I came up with an idea. In the name of competing for the position of chef, let's have a cooking competition and win someone to be the chef. Opening That day, the two of you each served four dishes and made them on the spot in the restaurant lobby, so that you can earn enough fame and sell our restaurant's dishes. This is definitely killing two birds with one stone!"
Zhao Er's eyes lit up after hearing this, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea.I just think that Mu Yuan is really smart, he can think of such a way, and he immediately admires Mu Yuan even more.
But Uncle Li thought a lot after all, "What should I do? If I let the wind out in advance, I'm afraid some villains will come to make trouble."
As for who the villain Uncle Li was talking about, the three people sitting here all knew.
Mu Yuan said: "I've thought about this question too. That's what I thought. I'm going to keep this competition secret in advance. At that time, let's invite a dragon dance team to play our brand and go around the city lively. Circle, so that people will naturally know that we are going to open. When the time is right, we will announce that you two will compete for the chef. Even those who did not come, they will be curious to come and have a look Yes. The purpose of our doing this is to catch the other party by surprise, so that the other party has no chance to react. Of course, whether the other party will play tricks is just our guess."
Mu Yuan thought for a while and said: "If it's just some hooligans who come to smash the scene, then we can only invite them to eat our opening wine in the yamen."
Uncle Li nodded, "Well, everything that needs to be done in advance should be done first. Let's discuss the specific process later."
The discussion went into the evening.The three of them were frothing, and they didn't realize it was getting late until the bottom of the pot of tea.The details of the charter have also been planned, and Mu Yuan and Zhao Er got up to leave without staying too long.
It was getting dark, and Father An was probably about to come back from the field.But there was no time to make dinner, so the two hurried home.
As soon as he entered the house, Zhao Er ran to cook without stopping, while Mu Yuan raised his foot and went into the safe house.When I went in, I found that no one was there, only Xiaoyu was playing on her stomach in the room.After asking, An Ran found out that Mr. Mu Yuan would not come back, so An Ran went to the field to help Father An with work.
Hearing this, Mu Yuan can only sigh, what a virtuous daughter-in-law.
Because he ran in a hurry just now, he felt a little short of breath when he was free for a while, so Mu Yuan went outside to pour a cup of tea.Before the cup was scooped up, Father An and An Ran came back.
Because Zhao Er was late cooking, it was already dark when everyone had dinner.
"Mu Yuan, come with me."
After dinner, Father An went out of his way and asked Mu Yuan to talk to him in his room.
Mu Yuan followed Papa An all the way with anxiety.There's no way, it's cost-effective, who made it so bad for Father An to find him every time?
After entering the house, Father An didn't write any ink, and went straight to the point.
"Turn back, let An Ran go with you."
Mu Yuan never thought that Father An would tell him this.
"Uncle! What do you mean?" Mu Yuan's eyes were full of surprise and disbelief, so he asked cautiously.
Father An sighed, "I've thought about it too. I can't let him farm with me for the rest of his life. Let him follow you to the city to learn more. I'll watch over the house, so you just need to rest assured."
Hearing this, Mu Yuan was already elated.
Mu Yuan tried his best to control his facial nerves so as not to let himself laugh, and also tried his best to make himself look very sincere, "We are really worried about you being alone at home, and I am afraid that An Ran is also worried about you staying alone at home and following us into the city of."
How could Father An not know the little Jiujiu in Mu Yuan's heart?Then he glanced at him, "Oh, if you want to say that, let him stay, I can't force him, can I?"
"Don't, don't," Mu Yuan hurriedly made amends and begged for mercy when he heard the bad news. "I mean—oh, why don't you get a helper? You can relax, too, and we can rest easy!"
Father An smiled and said: "You can tell me where. I have already found this person. Xu Fukui is the eldest son of Widow Zhang's family in the north of the village. Because he hurt his head before, he is a bit stupid, and he can't find any work when he goes out. I have been farming at home for two years and the harvest has not been good. It is really difficult for the whole family to live on those few acres of land. I saw that he knew everything and had a foolish energy. He was honest and willing to work, so I recruited him. Our family has become a helper. Hurry up tomorrow, I will let him come to see you, and you can also see him."
"You have a keen eye to recognize talents. I am naturally assured of the person you are looking for. It doesn't matter if you look at it or not."
Mu Yuan flattered him, and Father An was very happy, so he no longer made things difficult for him.
"I asked An Ran to go with you, you have to know why. If you don't know how to make progress, then I will call him back." After all, Father An was still afraid that Mu Yuan's young mind would be unstable.
"Father," Mu Yuan said with a smile, "it's meaningless to talk too much about promises. I won't say anything here, just watch us, we will never let you down."
Only then did Father An smile happily, "Good! Good!"
As soon as he came out from Father An, Mu Yuan happily went to find An Ran.When An Ran first heard that Father An asked him to follow Mu Yuan into the city, he was surprised for a long time.
"Dad said that?" An Ran couldn't believe it.
Mu Yuan put his arms around the man, his heart was full, "Well, I said it myself~"
"But, what should we do at home?" An Ran hesitated.
"Father found a helper, what's his name... Oh yes, Xu Fukui. Have you heard of it?"
"The eldest son of Widow Zhang's family?" An Ran thought for a while, "I've met him a few times. He's a fool who laughs when he sees others. Anyway, he's a very honest person."
"Just be honest! Then we can rest assured." Mu Yuan sighed, "If you can go with me, I have nothing to worry about."
An Ran felt a little sweetness in her heart, "What can I do if I go?"
"Take care of my account!" Mu Yuan smiled and said, "I've taught you basic arithmetic, and you don't have any problems with common words. It's more than enough for you to be my accountant!"
"Oh, I said why I suddenly taught me arithmetic a while ago. It turned out to be premeditated."
"Speaking of this," Mu Yuan said suddenly, "When you keep the accounts, use the Arabic numerals and letters I taught you, so that we can understand them, and we won't be afraid of the books being stolen."
"Will someone steal this?"
Mu Yuan smiled and said, "It's better to take precautions before they happen."
As the saying goes, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others.At the beginning, Zhang Qing tried every means to scoop up the source restaurant, but in the end, Mu Yuan took the advantage.No matter how he thought about it, Mu Yuan felt that a person like Zhang Qing would never just let it go.It's just that there's no need to tell An Ran any more to make him worry.
57
After intensive preparations, Fuyuan Restaurant finally ushered in the opening day.
Firecrackers blared, gongs and drums blared.The long dragon and lion dance team set off separately with banners printed with "Fuyuan Restaurant", trying their best to attract people's attention along the way.After the parade came down, a large number of customers were already attracted.Mu Yuan was very satisfied with the effect of this advertisement, and felt relieved that the money was not in vain.
The invitations that should be sent in advance have been sent to the place, and the places that should be arranged have also been arranged, but An Ran still feels a little uneasy, and even watched the dragon and lion dance performances a little absent-mindedly.When Mu Yuan saw it, he laughed at him for being nervous, and An Ran gave him a blank stare.
The restaurant was already full of people, and there were more and more people watching outside, Mu Yuan saw that the time was still ripe, so he turned his head and said to An Ran: "Almost everyone has come, you go and inform Brother Zhao and they are ready. "
"Well, you greeted carefully, I will inform them." An Ran didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went to inform them.Not long after, Zhao Er and Uncle Li came out with An Ran.
"How's the preparation going?" Seeing Zhao Er coming out, Mu Yuan hurried forward to ask.
Don't look at Mu Yuan acting so calm, in fact, he is not at ease at all.
Zhao Er smiled and said, "Everything is ready."
"Okay, then let's get started!"
A string of firecrackers goes down, and the good show faces the opening.
The news that the newly opened Fuyuan Restaurant is holding a culinary competition has been widely spread, and half of the people in Yaocheng know about it.
Standing at the door of his restaurant, Zhang Qing watched the guests all go in the direction of Fuyuan, and sneered in his heart that Mu Yuan really knew how to play tricks.
How long has it been since there was such a lively new event in Yaocheng?Now the Fuyuan restaurant will be lively for a while.
Choose a chef over cooking skills?Thankfully he figured it out.
"Twenty percent, call Ueda cook, let's join in the fun."
"Hey shopkeeper, we don't do business anymore?"
"There are still people coming to us right now, just let Liu Feng stay and watch."
"okay."
Over there, Zhang Qing led his cook to Fuyuan, and Fuyuan's side was already in full swing.
Two stoves were temporarily placed in the lobby, and Zhao Er and Uncle Li stood at each side, busy with brushing and brushing, and the speed of cutting vegetables dazzled the eyes.The onlookers made comments from time to time, no matter what they understood or did not understand, and Zhao Er occasionally threw his hands and made a trick, which made the whole atmosphere extremely lively.
Because the purpose of this competition is to show knife skills and cooking skills, so the two selected dishes, in addition to each of them having a serious signature dish, the remaining few choices were all able to show knife skills and enjoy the taste of cooking dishes.Of course, the taste is absolutely guaranteed.
Mu Yuan greeted the judges specially invited to taste the dishes, while An Ran handed out some pre-prepared tasting food.Because the overcrowded situation was predicted in advance, two handymen and a waiter were specially hired, so there was no panic due to lack of manpower.
Everything went well and according to plan.
Before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Zhang Qing arrived over there.
An Ran looked at Mu Yuan uneasily, and Mu Yuan smiled at him comfortingly, and then went up to meet him.
Before Zhang Qing reached the door, he saw a circle of people on the third floor in front and the third floor outside. After finally squeezing in, he realized that the inside was even more lively.
After Zhang Qing glanced at the two people who were competing, he also understood what Mu Yuan was playing for.It can not only make enough gimmicks, but also attract customers. This trick makes it a real second.
Don't let Zhang Qing think too much, Mu Yuan has already greeted him.
"Shopkeeper Mu, congratulations, your opening wine shop is really lively." Zhang Qing smiled sincerely, "It's really an eye-opener."
Mu Yuan also smiled kindly, "No way, I didn't expect shopkeeper Zhang to come, what a surprise."
No matter what the two of them thought in their hearts, at least they all behaved kindly.
"Anyway, we all worked as buddies together, and now Yuan Yuan Restaurant can reopen under your hands, and I'm very happy."
Mu Yuan was not sure what the purpose of Zhang Qing's words today was, but as long as the other party didn't come to make trouble, he would be happy to say hello, hello, hello everyone.
"Where, I need to ask shopkeeper Zhang to take care of me in the future."
After the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, Mu Yuan invited Zhang Qing to the private room upstairs.
An Ran greeted the guests while paying attention to Mu Yuan's movements. Although he didn't know Zhang Qing, he heard a lot about his grievances with Yuanyuan Restaurant.Zhang Qing is not clear about where he is today, An Ran is really worried about the other party's intentions.
Seeing Mu Yuan approaching, An Ran greeted him, "Why is he here?"
Mu Yuan smiled, "I said I'm here to ask for a glass of opening wine."
Mu Yuan saw that An Ran was still a little uneasy, so he comforted him and said: "Don't worry, I don't think he will do anything because of it. Think about it, he has no power or power, and he was able to deceive the shopkeeper Xie at the beginning. Now that the source is in our hands, there is nothing he can do if he is not angry." Mu Yuan suddenly sneered, "If you want me to say, he was too impatient at the beginning. If he hadn't done that kind of thing , the source is his anyway, but he can't resist the word 'greedy', and he will unite with others to deal with Shopkeeper Xie. Shopkeeper Xie seems to have no ability, but he is very stubborn. Zhang Qing has already done it. Such a thing, you still expect shopkeeper Xie to sell him the hotel? I really know what to think."
An Ran sighed, "It's probably just that the desire for profit has gone to the head."
The two of them didn't get too entangled with Zhang Qing's issue, as long as they knew that the other party would not make trouble.
Although Zhao Er and Uncle Li are busy with the competition, they are also pinching the time in their hearts.Seeing that it was almost noon, the two looked at each other, realizing that it would not be easy to procrastinate any longer, so they sped up their movements.
Because the invited judges had also greeted in advance, in the end, Zhao Er naturally became the head chef.
This match has come to an end, and the rest is for everyone to greet the guests.
Although the bustle was gone, most people didn't leave.
The skills of the two chefs just now stunned everyone, and with the new store open, all consumptions were discounted at half price, so some of the people stayed for lunch.
Mu Yuan and the others had been busy until the night when Dayang finally took a breather.
Although everyone was excited, they had to get up early to open the store tomorrow, so they were not allowed to talk too much, and they all washed up and rested early.
After yesterday's successful chef competition, Fuyuan Restaurant's reputation has been established.For a while, the business was extremely hot, and there was an endless stream of customers.
Mu Yuan and An Ran are so busy that they don't touch the ground every day, and they don't say anything about making out at night. They basically sleep on the pillow.
After being busy like this for more than a month, the heat gradually cooled down, and Fuyuan Restaurant began to get on the right track.
Mu Yuan lay on the hillside in the space with his arms around An Ran, enjoying the rare intimacy for more than a month.
"Let me kiss you, I almost forgot what it feels like." Mu Yuan roguely pressed on An Ran.
An Ran blushed with embarrassment, and half-pushed and half-heartedly let Mu Yuan be a hooligan.
Mu Yuan likes An Ran's shy but unabashed appearance.Mu Yuan really never thought that he would do this kind of thing with a man before, but when he met An, he seemed to accept it logically.I didn't have any complicated thoughts, just because of this person, I accepted it.
The two of them felt a little impulsive when they kissed Mu Yuan, and An Ran obviously felt it too.
An Ran resisted uneasily, and Mu Yuan also knew that it was not the time, but it was just that he couldn't restrain himself.
"Did Ah Ran do it by himself?" Mu Yuan's slightly shortness of breath hit An Ran's ear.
An Ran was also a little moved, her eyes moistened, she was at a loss, "Do, what to do?"
Hearing this, Mu Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll teach you." Saying that, Mu Yuan stretched his hand in.An Ran's thing has raised her head slightly, Mu Yuan grasped it, and An Ran's whole body froze in shock.
Mu Yuan kissed An Ran's lips comfortingly, while slowly rubbing the still immature things.
"Hmm... a little uncomfortable..." An Ran slumped under Mu Yuan's body, her face flushed red, she was somewhat afraid of such a strange thing.
As a person who has been there, Mu Yuan naturally knows An Ran's feelings, so his movements become more gentle and provocative, only making little An Ran stand upright.
Because it was the first time, no skill was needed, and it came out safely after a while.Mu Yuan withdrew his hands back, his hands were full of An Ran's things.
The protruding stimulus made An Ran a little distracted, it was hard to tell whether it was uncomfortable or comfortable, and when An Ran calmed down her breathing, she saw Mu Yuan looking at her with a smile.
"You..." No matter how indifferent An Ran was, Xiao was too shy to speak at this moment.
But Mu Yuan didn't want to let him go easily, "How do you feel? Are you comfortable? Will you?"
"But, that's it." Would An Ranqi not know Mu Yuan's careful thoughts?No matter how embarrassing he was, he was unwilling to admit defeat, and could only force a disdainful expression, but the trembling voice betrayed him.
Mu Yuan didn't want to provoke him because of this, so he stopped teasing him, and just guided An Ran to help him out once.
Afterwards, the two got tired of being together, and Mu Yuan sighed, "I used to be muddleheaded, although I lived a comfortable life, but I am not as comfortable as I am now."
"Are you homesick?"
"Think, don't want to." Mu Yuan pulled An Ran's hand to play, "at least there is a younger brother in the family to take care of..."
An Ran leaned her head in the past, silently comforting.
Mu Yuan stretched out his hand and rubbed it, and said with a light smile, "Now I'm very glad that I can meet you here. If I had to choose again, I would definitely jump into that cold spring on my own initiative."
An Ran smiled silently, and only held the hands of the two of them even tighter.
完结
Winter goes and spring comes again, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Mu Yuan just came back from Xujia Village in a carriage.Fuyuan Restaurant has been able to rank in the top three in Yaocheng, which is no longer comparable to what it used to be. Now when they see Mu Yuan, everyone will save face and call him the shopkeeper Mu.
In addition to the restaurant, Mu Yuan also opened a shop specializing in ready-to-wear, because the clothes designed are very innovative and very popular with customers, so the annual income is quite considerable.
Mu Yuan supplies half of Yaocheng's vegetables and fish, and this business is already more profitable than restaurants.
Now everyone in the village is talking about the good fortune of Anjia, recruiting a fast-paced son-in-law like Mu Yuan, who was despised for being poor for a few years, but now he has become the richest man in the village, even in Yaocheng. It's a rich family.
Some people say it is good, and naturally some people say it is not good.
Xu Fang's family saw that An's family was getting richer and more prosperous day by day, and they were so jealous that they came out to gossip, "What's the use of being lucky? You're not a man, and you won't be able to have a baby if you marry. In a few years, Mu Far from having to take a concubine to inherit the incense?"
Xu Fang's family is a typical one who can't see anyone better than her, and they don't welcome people on weekdays, but this statement made many people think about it.No matter how good An Ran is, he is also a man.Mu Yuan doesn't dislike it now, but as time goes by, he may not be sure that he will want his own child.An Ran doesn't know how to give birth, so won't he have to take a concubine in the future?Not to mention that with Mu Yuan's current family background, it is also possible to take concubines now.
Besides, although this official wife cannot be a wife, it is also feasible to be a concubine.Even though I was married as a concubine now,
Mu Yuan immediately thought of Uncle Li.
Since the source closed down, Uncle Li has been idle at home.
Originally, the whole family counted on Uncle Li's source of income to support the family, but now that the income is cut off, life may be difficult.Although you can go home and farm, it is a waste to use this good cooking skill to farm.
When Mu Yuan was still helping at the source, Uncle Li took care of him a lot.If Mu Yuan wants to hire another cook, Uncle Li must be the best candidate.
Thinking of this, Mu Yuan couldn't rest anymore, and rushed to Uncle Li's house excitedly.
What Mu Yuan thought was right, since Uncle Li left the restaurant, he was indeed worrying about his future livelihood.Knowing Mu Yuan's intentions now, he is naturally very happy.
"Who would have thought that you would actually buy the restaurant after so many days, haha." Uncle Li laughed heartily, happy for himself and for Mu Yuan.
Mu Yuan was modest, "It's really lucky, otherwise this restaurant wouldn't be my turn to pick up bargains."
"Oh? How do you say that?"
Uncle Li didn't know the specific reason and process of the matter, so when he heard what happened from Mu Yuan, he immediately flew into a rage, "Zhang Qing is really a white-eyed wolf!! Back then, shopkeeper Xie trained him in the day shift, and he didn't know how to repay him. That's all, now he has joined forces with outsiders to destroy the source, really, really is a wolf-hearted thing!!"
Mu Yuan knew that a person like Uncle Li who hated clearly would have to thank the shopkeeper for injustice after hearing this.
Mu Yuan sneered, "Now he has opened another restaurant with his own money, and if he becomes the shopkeeper as he wishes, I don't know if he has a conscience. But since he can do such a thing, I'm afraid he won't I feel that there is something wrong with my conscience.”
Uncle Li was sad, thinking that when he was in the source restaurant, the shopkeeper Xie treated him well, and he didn't expect to end up in such a situation.
"Thank you shopkeeper now?" Uncle Li asked.
"The source made Zhang Qing tormented, and he seemed to be discouraged and unwilling to live in Yaocheng. From what he said, he seemed to be planning to return to his hometown."
Uncle Li suddenly thought, "Now that you have accepted the source, then... Zhang Qing won't trip us up, will he?"
"Ha!" Mu Yuan laughed and said, "I'm not afraid of him. There are various reasons why Yuanyuan can't continue. Zhang Qing hasn't been able to stand up to the sky. It's time to stab him with a knife."
Uncle Li frowned, "I know this too, but his character is not reliable. In addition, after planning for so long, you finally let your kid take advantage of it. I'm afraid he will think about how to revenge you."
"If he really cheats on me, then we can't stop him?" Mu Yuan smiled indifferently, "I can't just close this restaurant just because I'm afraid of it, right?"
Hearing this, Uncle Li smiled relievedly, "Haha, yes. The man is afraid that this and that will not work."
The two laughed, Mu Yuan paused, and said after considering, "Uncle Li, there is something I have to tell you first."
"what?"
"This time, I plan to let Brother Zhao be the chef."
Uncle Li was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "I understand. Zhao Er has learned the 'fish leaping over the dragon's gate' by now. I thought of it when Xie shopkeeper gave the prescription to Zhao Er. Besides, Zhao Er is indeed better than I have a craft."
Seeing that Uncle Li didn't look dissatisfied when he said this, Mu Yuan felt relieved.At the beginning, he really didn't know how to say it, so he couldn't say directly, 'Your skills are not as good as Zhao Er, I can't let you be the chef'.Thinking about it now, Uncle Li and Zhao Er have always had a good relationship, and Uncle Li is not such a small-hearted person, so it seems that he will underestimate people at that time.
Mu Yuan naturally wouldn't say what he was thinking, and after thinking about it, he said, "The dish 'Yuyuelongmen' can no longer be regarded as a signature dish. Now that other restaurants have made it, it has lost its unique value. "
"Then what should we do?" Uncle Li asked anxiously.
Mu Yuan smiled, "Of course I'm researching new dishes."
Uncle Li was surprised when he heard the words, "New dishes?"
"Yes, you and Second Brother Zhao will start preparing from tomorrow." Mu Yuan said, "There have been many restaurants in Yaocheng for a long time. If we want to grab customers from them, we can only buy special dishes , Put more effort into the signature dishes. We must ensure that the dishes in the restaurant are new and unique, so delicious that they will linger on them."
Uncle Li was dumbfounded, Mu Yuan's words were clearly deliberate.Looking at Mu Yuan's confident look, Uncle Li seemed to have seen that the restaurant will be full of guests in the future.
After returning from Uncle Li's house, Mu Yuan started to work on the renovation of the restaurant.
At first, Mu Yuan drew a design drawing of a luxury restaurant with great interest, but An Ran rejected it after only one glance.
"Do you need these flashy carvings on the tables, chairs and benches?"
"This is for the effect to look good and distinctive."
"Is bright yellow a color that ordinary people can use?"
"Uh, let's change the color then?"
"It's fine to put one or two antique vases, we are a restaurant, why do we need so many? Are you afraid of being stolen?"
"This one……"
"Also, what are you doing with an ornamental fish in the middle of the lobby? Why don't you set up an extra table for guests if you have this space!"
"I……"
"Well, even if you use your blueprint, do you know how much silver it will cost?"
"..."
Mu Yuan was instantly killed.
Silver, silver, although it seems that he is always making money, he also spends a lot.Now that there are silver taels left, it is natural to plan and use them rationally.If you want to follow his flashy design drawings, you have to push the restaurant to a new building.
Helpless, Mu Yuan had no choice but to hold his wounded heart and find a professional to come and design it.In the end, the only thing in the entire restaurant that needs major changes is the room where shopkeeper Xie lived on the second floor.
It was originally an unused private room, but shopkeeper Xie tidied it up as his temporary residence for convenience.Now under Mu Yuan's planning, it has become a private room again.
Mu Yuan is busy resting and reorganizing the restaurant, and he has to help figure out new dishes on the other side. He is really busy.Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and Zhao Er and Uncle Li came up with a lot of new things.
The preparations for the restaurant were almost done, and Mu Yuan began to think about opening the door.
As for the name of the restaurant, Mu Yuan couldn't think of a good one either.In the end, Uncle Li's "Fu Yuan Restaurant" won unanimous praise from everyone.As for the name, what I want is good luck.
Thus, the name of the restaurant was decided.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
Mu Yuan began to think about how the east wind should blow.
The restaurants in Yaocheng are already saturated, and most of the customers have their own favorite places. If Fuyuan Restaurant wants to attract customers from the beginning, it really needs to work hard.
If there are no customers, no matter how good the dishes are, it will be in vain if no one comes.
Mu Yuan made up his mind on the day the restaurant opened, and it was bound to come up with a new and memorable way.
"The day of the opening is the best opportunity. We have to figure it out. How should we do it in a meaningful way?" Mu Yuan dragged An Ran to lie on the grass in the space, very leisurely.
An Ran's eyes sparkled and she turned her head to look at Mu Yuan excitedly, "Shall we also invite the dragon and lion dance team? We also need to buy some firecrackers, so that it will be lively."
"This is possible!"
An Ran laughed and said: "I only saw a dragon dance team once when I was young, when I went to the city with my father. There was really no other way, so he bought me a bag of honey and coaxed me home."
Mu Yuan held An Ran's hand tightly, "I can't see that you were so reckless when you were a child. If you like it, then let's invite a dragon dance team. You can see it whenever you want this time."
The two lay there facing each other, looking into each other's eyes, and an ambiguous feeling slowly grew in the air.
"An Ran, I think..." Mu Yuan slowly approached the other party while talking.
An Ran's face gradually turned red, and she was a little shy, "Father said, I'm still too young for this matter."
"No," Mu Yuan said on rare occasions when he was embarrassed, "I just want to kiss you. Uncle An really agrees with us, but he still doesn't let me kiss you." Mu Yuan said Feel wronged.
Originally, the two of them managed to get their name right, and it was already legal for them to kiss their little mouths with their little hands, okay?But when Father An saw it, he still had a bearded and staring expression, and in the end, An Ran refused to let him kiss him.Mu Yuan was about to cry.
An Ran burst out laughing, gave Mu Yuan a blank look, and said, "That's why you insisted on kissing me in front of dad. Who is to blame? Even ordinary couples are not so bold. You said dad saw it." , can you be happy?"
Mu Yuan stepped forward to hug An Ran, put him in his arms, and shouted: "Could this be on purpose? You go to work with Uncle An every day and I can't see you. I haven't had time when you come back." Kiss you, your father suddenly appeared, I wonder if Uncle An is deliberately trying to make things difficult for me, how can it be so coincidental every time?!"
An Ran could clearly see her father's narrow-mindedness, it was nothing more than a little vengeance after compromising with them.But An Ran didn't plan to tell Mu Yuan about it, it was also a pleasure to see Mu Yuan's devastated look every day.
An Ran reached out and squeezed Mu Yuan's chin, and asked with a smile, "Are you still kissing?"
"Dear!" Mu Yuan rushed forward.
After giving up the kiss, both of them were a little breathless.
Mu Yuan rubbed his arms against An Ran, and suddenly said: "When we're done with this busy period, shall we get married?"
An Ran was taken aback, "We two? How can we get married?"
"Why can't you? Treat the guests when you need them, pay your respects when you need them, and let's not miss anything that we should have!"
Before An Ran could be moved, she heard Mu Yuan continue to say:
"Hmph, when we get married, I'll see how Uncle An will stop me!"
An Ran is speechless, this is why they co-authored and got married?
56
It was lunch time.
In the Anjia hall, the atmosphere is weird.
Without raising her head, An Ran quietly fed Xiao Yu with food.
Xiaoyu looked at the hill in the bowl with a bitter face.
Zhao Er had a distorted expression of wanting to laugh but struggling to bear it.
And what about Mu Yuan?Mu Yuan was listlessly listening to Father An's non-stop nagging.
"There's so much work in the field, you said you'd ask An Ran to advise you, but what did you two do all morning?"
"Take care of me and kiss me." Mu Yuan muttered softly.
"What do you say?"
……
Damn, if you keep talking about it, the food will get cold.Mu Yuan raised his head and winked at An Ran for help,
An Ran was feeling guilty here, bowed his head for a long time, his neck was sore, just about to raise his head to move around, he saw Mu Yuan winking at him, fearing that his father would see and nag again, so he quickly lowered his head again, ignoring Mu Yuan called for help.
Mu Yuan had nowhere to ask for help, so he could only turn to Zhao Er in desperation.
The two of Zhao are honest, as soon as this side received Mu Yuan's distress signal, the other side bit the bullet and pleaded for mercy.
"Father An, look, Mu Yuan is going to the city soon, the young couple have to be separated after being together for two days... just not for these two days, just, cough, let them relax .”
Mu Yuan nodded again and again, silently grateful to Zhao Er.
Father An paused, left this behind, and looked at that again,
Mu Yuan looked back at Father An pitifully, while An Ran accelerated the speed of picking up food for Xiao Yu.Xiao Yu watched in horror as the small mountain in her bowl turned into a large mountain.
"Don't, don't pinch it." Xiao Yu hurriedly said with a frowning face, "Brother, there are too many to eat."
"Ah..." An Ran stopped her chopsticks in embarrassment.
Father An sighed secretly, knocked on the table and said, "Eat well."
Only then did Mu Yuan pass the test.
After lunch, Mu Yuan wandered around the room, thinking about what to do for a grand opening ceremony.
After all, Mu Yuan is only a student at school, and has never had much social experience, let alone business.But fortunately, he has a smart head, at least he knows how to learn from other places.
Mu Yuan wondered, should there be a food tasting event?But I feel that this is not novel enough, nor attractive enough.
Just as he was thinking, An Ran pushed the door open and came in.
Seeing An Ran, Mu Yuan was pleasantly surprised: "I thought you were taken away by Dad, come and let me kiss you!"
An Ran hugged Mu Yuan's waist, and responded to his eager kiss.After a while, the two separated.
An Ran blushed and was very happy, "Father asked me to help you pack things at home these few days."
"Wow~" Mu Yuan suddenly felt that all the hard work has come to an end, "Is Dad finally willing to let me go?"
An Ran looked funny and ignored him, "What were you doing there when I came in just now?"
As soon as this was mentioned, Mu Yuan felt a headache, "It's not just about opening, I'm thinking about what to do."
"Haven't you already decided to invite a dragon dance team?"
"Well," Mu Yuan scratched his head, "I don't think it's lively enough."
"Isn't this lively enough?" An Ran sneered, "Could it be that you still want to find another juggling troupe to perform for you?"
"Performance?"
Mu Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Yes, you can perform! An Ran, you are really my baby!" Mu Yuan danced and danced, stepped forward to give An Ran a fierce wolf kiss, which immediately stunned An Ran.
"Second brother Zhao and I went to Uncle Li's house." Before An Ran could react, Mu Yuan let go of him and rushed out.
"Mix dishes?" Uncle Li and Zhao Er asked in unison.
"Yes!" Mu Yuan smiled all over his face. "I mean let's put on a show."
"Xiu?" Uncle Li and Zhao Er looked at each other, then turned to look at Mu Yuan in confusion.
"It's a performance! Let's put it this way, you all know juggling, right?" Mu Yuan said excitedly, "I came up with an idea. In the name of competing for the position of chef, let's have a cooking competition and win someone to be the chef. Opening That day, the two of you each served four dishes and made them on the spot in the restaurant lobby, so that you can earn enough fame and sell our restaurant's dishes. This is definitely killing two birds with one stone!"
Zhao Er's eyes lit up after hearing this, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea.I just think that Mu Yuan is really smart, he can think of such a way, and he immediately admires Mu Yuan even more.
But Uncle Li thought a lot after all, "What should I do? If I let the wind out in advance, I'm afraid some villains will come to make trouble."
As for who the villain Uncle Li was talking about, the three people sitting here all knew.
Mu Yuan said: "I've thought about this question too. That's what I thought. I'm going to keep this competition secret in advance. At that time, let's invite a dragon dance team to play our brand and go around the city lively. Circle, so that people will naturally know that we are going to open. When the time is right, we will announce that you two will compete for the chef. Even those who did not come, they will be curious to come and have a look Yes. The purpose of our doing this is to catch the other party by surprise, so that the other party has no chance to react. Of course, whether the other party will play tricks is just our guess."
Mu Yuan thought for a while and said: "If it's just some hooligans who come to smash the scene, then we can only invite them to eat our opening wine in the yamen."
Uncle Li nodded, "Well, everything that needs to be done in advance should be done first. Let's discuss the specific process later."
The discussion went into the evening.The three of them were frothing, and they didn't realize it was getting late until the bottom of the pot of tea.The details of the charter have also been planned, and Mu Yuan and Zhao Er got up to leave without staying too long.
It was getting dark, and Father An was probably about to come back from the field.But there was no time to make dinner, so the two hurried home.
As soon as he entered the house, Zhao Er ran to cook without stopping, while Mu Yuan raised his foot and went into the safe house.When I went in, I found that no one was there, only Xiaoyu was playing on her stomach in the room.After asking, An Ran found out that Mr. Mu Yuan would not come back, so An Ran went to the field to help Father An with work.
Hearing this, Mu Yuan can only sigh, what a virtuous daughter-in-law.
Because he ran in a hurry just now, he felt a little short of breath when he was free for a while, so Mu Yuan went outside to pour a cup of tea.Before the cup was scooped up, Father An and An Ran came back.
Because Zhao Er was late cooking, it was already dark when everyone had dinner.
"Mu Yuan, come with me."
After dinner, Father An went out of his way and asked Mu Yuan to talk to him in his room.
Mu Yuan followed Papa An all the way with anxiety.There's no way, it's cost-effective, who made it so bad for Father An to find him every time?
After entering the house, Father An didn't write any ink, and went straight to the point.
"Turn back, let An Ran go with you."
Mu Yuan never thought that Father An would tell him this.
"Uncle! What do you mean?" Mu Yuan's eyes were full of surprise and disbelief, so he asked cautiously.
Father An sighed, "I've thought about it too. I can't let him farm with me for the rest of his life. Let him follow you to the city to learn more. I'll watch over the house, so you just need to rest assured."
Hearing this, Mu Yuan was already elated.
Mu Yuan tried his best to control his facial nerves so as not to let himself laugh, and also tried his best to make himself look very sincere, "We are really worried about you being alone at home, and I am afraid that An Ran is also worried about you staying alone at home and following us into the city of."
How could Father An not know the little Jiujiu in Mu Yuan's heart?Then he glanced at him, "Oh, if you want to say that, let him stay, I can't force him, can I?"
"Don't, don't," Mu Yuan hurriedly made amends and begged for mercy when he heard the bad news. "I mean—oh, why don't you get a helper? You can relax, too, and we can rest easy!"
Father An smiled and said: "You can tell me where. I have already found this person. Xu Fukui is the eldest son of Widow Zhang's family in the north of the village. Because he hurt his head before, he is a bit stupid, and he can't find any work when he goes out. I have been farming at home for two years and the harvest has not been good. It is really difficult for the whole family to live on those few acres of land. I saw that he knew everything and had a foolish energy. He was honest and willing to work, so I recruited him. Our family has become a helper. Hurry up tomorrow, I will let him come to see you, and you can also see him."
"You have a keen eye to recognize talents. I am naturally assured of the person you are looking for. It doesn't matter if you look at it or not."
Mu Yuan flattered him, and Father An was very happy, so he no longer made things difficult for him.
"I asked An Ran to go with you, you have to know why. If you don't know how to make progress, then I will call him back." After all, Father An was still afraid that Mu Yuan's young mind would be unstable.
"Father," Mu Yuan said with a smile, "it's meaningless to talk too much about promises. I won't say anything here, just watch us, we will never let you down."
Only then did Father An smile happily, "Good! Good!"
As soon as he came out from Father An, Mu Yuan happily went to find An Ran.When An Ran first heard that Father An asked him to follow Mu Yuan into the city, he was surprised for a long time.
"Dad said that?" An Ran couldn't believe it.
Mu Yuan put his arms around the man, his heart was full, "Well, I said it myself~"
"But, what should we do at home?" An Ran hesitated.
"Father found a helper, what's his name... Oh yes, Xu Fukui. Have you heard of it?"
"The eldest son of Widow Zhang's family?" An Ran thought for a while, "I've met him a few times. He's a fool who laughs when he sees others. Anyway, he's a very honest person."
"Just be honest! Then we can rest assured." Mu Yuan sighed, "If you can go with me, I have nothing to worry about."
An Ran felt a little sweetness in her heart, "What can I do if I go?"
"Take care of my account!" Mu Yuan smiled and said, "I've taught you basic arithmetic, and you don't have any problems with common words. It's more than enough for you to be my accountant!"
"Oh, I said why I suddenly taught me arithmetic a while ago. It turned out to be premeditated."
"Speaking of this," Mu Yuan said suddenly, "When you keep the accounts, use the Arabic numerals and letters I taught you, so that we can understand them, and we won't be afraid of the books being stolen."
"Will someone steal this?"
Mu Yuan smiled and said, "It's better to take precautions before they happen."
As the saying goes, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others.At the beginning, Zhang Qing tried every means to scoop up the source restaurant, but in the end, Mu Yuan took the advantage.No matter how he thought about it, Mu Yuan felt that a person like Zhang Qing would never just let it go.It's just that there's no need to tell An Ran any more to make him worry.
57
After intensive preparations, Fuyuan Restaurant finally ushered in the opening day.
Firecrackers blared, gongs and drums blared.The long dragon and lion dance team set off separately with banners printed with "Fuyuan Restaurant", trying their best to attract people's attention along the way.After the parade came down, a large number of customers were already attracted.Mu Yuan was very satisfied with the effect of this advertisement, and felt relieved that the money was not in vain.
The invitations that should be sent in advance have been sent to the place, and the places that should be arranged have also been arranged, but An Ran still feels a little uneasy, and even watched the dragon and lion dance performances a little absent-mindedly.When Mu Yuan saw it, he laughed at him for being nervous, and An Ran gave him a blank stare.
The restaurant was already full of people, and there were more and more people watching outside, Mu Yuan saw that the time was still ripe, so he turned his head and said to An Ran: "Almost everyone has come, you go and inform Brother Zhao and they are ready. "
"Well, you greeted carefully, I will inform them." An Ran didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went to inform them.Not long after, Zhao Er and Uncle Li came out with An Ran.
"How's the preparation going?" Seeing Zhao Er coming out, Mu Yuan hurried forward to ask.
Don't look at Mu Yuan acting so calm, in fact, he is not at ease at all.
Zhao Er smiled and said, "Everything is ready."
"Okay, then let's get started!"
A string of firecrackers goes down, and the good show faces the opening.
The news that the newly opened Fuyuan Restaurant is holding a culinary competition has been widely spread, and half of the people in Yaocheng know about it.
Standing at the door of his restaurant, Zhang Qing watched the guests all go in the direction of Fuyuan, and sneered in his heart that Mu Yuan really knew how to play tricks.
How long has it been since there was such a lively new event in Yaocheng?Now the Fuyuan restaurant will be lively for a while.
Choose a chef over cooking skills?Thankfully he figured it out.
"Twenty percent, call Ueda cook, let's join in the fun."
"Hey shopkeeper, we don't do business anymore?"
"There are still people coming to us right now, just let Liu Feng stay and watch."
"okay."
Over there, Zhang Qing led his cook to Fuyuan, and Fuyuan's side was already in full swing.
Two stoves were temporarily placed in the lobby, and Zhao Er and Uncle Li stood at each side, busy with brushing and brushing, and the speed of cutting vegetables dazzled the eyes.The onlookers made comments from time to time, no matter what they understood or did not understand, and Zhao Er occasionally threw his hands and made a trick, which made the whole atmosphere extremely lively.
Because the purpose of this competition is to show knife skills and cooking skills, so the two selected dishes, in addition to each of them having a serious signature dish, the remaining few choices were all able to show knife skills and enjoy the taste of cooking dishes.Of course, the taste is absolutely guaranteed.
Mu Yuan greeted the judges specially invited to taste the dishes, while An Ran handed out some pre-prepared tasting food.Because the overcrowded situation was predicted in advance, two handymen and a waiter were specially hired, so there was no panic due to lack of manpower.
Everything went well and according to plan.
Before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Zhang Qing arrived over there.
An Ran looked at Mu Yuan uneasily, and Mu Yuan smiled at him comfortingly, and then went up to meet him.
Before Zhang Qing reached the door, he saw a circle of people on the third floor in front and the third floor outside. After finally squeezing in, he realized that the inside was even more lively.
After Zhang Qing glanced at the two people who were competing, he also understood what Mu Yuan was playing for.It can not only make enough gimmicks, but also attract customers. This trick makes it a real second.
Don't let Zhang Qing think too much, Mu Yuan has already greeted him.
"Shopkeeper Mu, congratulations, your opening wine shop is really lively." Zhang Qing smiled sincerely, "It's really an eye-opener."
Mu Yuan also smiled kindly, "No way, I didn't expect shopkeeper Zhang to come, what a surprise."
No matter what the two of them thought in their hearts, at least they all behaved kindly.
"Anyway, we all worked as buddies together, and now Yuan Yuan Restaurant can reopen under your hands, and I'm very happy."
Mu Yuan was not sure what the purpose of Zhang Qing's words today was, but as long as the other party didn't come to make trouble, he would be happy to say hello, hello, hello everyone.
"Where, I need to ask shopkeeper Zhang to take care of me in the future."
After the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, Mu Yuan invited Zhang Qing to the private room upstairs.
An Ran greeted the guests while paying attention to Mu Yuan's movements. Although he didn't know Zhang Qing, he heard a lot about his grievances with Yuanyuan Restaurant.Zhang Qing is not clear about where he is today, An Ran is really worried about the other party's intentions.
Seeing Mu Yuan approaching, An Ran greeted him, "Why is he here?"
Mu Yuan smiled, "I said I'm here to ask for a glass of opening wine."
Mu Yuan saw that An Ran was still a little uneasy, so he comforted him and said: "Don't worry, I don't think he will do anything because of it. Think about it, he has no power or power, and he was able to deceive the shopkeeper Xie at the beginning. Now that the source is in our hands, there is nothing he can do if he is not angry." Mu Yuan suddenly sneered, "If you want me to say, he was too impatient at the beginning. If he hadn't done that kind of thing , the source is his anyway, but he can't resist the word 'greedy', and he will unite with others to deal with Shopkeeper Xie. Shopkeeper Xie seems to have no ability, but he is very stubborn. Zhang Qing has already done it. Such a thing, you still expect shopkeeper Xie to sell him the hotel? I really know what to think."
An Ran sighed, "It's probably just that the desire for profit has gone to the head."
The two of them didn't get too entangled with Zhang Qing's issue, as long as they knew that the other party would not make trouble.
Although Zhao Er and Uncle Li are busy with the competition, they are also pinching the time in their hearts.Seeing that it was almost noon, the two looked at each other, realizing that it would not be easy to procrastinate any longer, so they sped up their movements.
Because the invited judges had also greeted in advance, in the end, Zhao Er naturally became the head chef.
This match has come to an end, and the rest is for everyone to greet the guests.
Although the bustle was gone, most people didn't leave.
The skills of the two chefs just now stunned everyone, and with the new store open, all consumptions were discounted at half price, so some of the people stayed for lunch.
Mu Yuan and the others had been busy until the night when Dayang finally took a breather.
Although everyone was excited, they had to get up early to open the store tomorrow, so they were not allowed to talk too much, and they all washed up and rested early.
After yesterday's successful chef competition, Fuyuan Restaurant's reputation has been established.For a while, the business was extremely hot, and there was an endless stream of customers.
Mu Yuan and An Ran are so busy that they don't touch the ground every day, and they don't say anything about making out at night. They basically sleep on the pillow.
After being busy like this for more than a month, the heat gradually cooled down, and Fuyuan Restaurant began to get on the right track.
Mu Yuan lay on the hillside in the space with his arms around An Ran, enjoying the rare intimacy for more than a month.
"Let me kiss you, I almost forgot what it feels like." Mu Yuan roguely pressed on An Ran.
An Ran blushed with embarrassment, and half-pushed and half-heartedly let Mu Yuan be a hooligan.
Mu Yuan likes An Ran's shy but unabashed appearance.Mu Yuan really never thought that he would do this kind of thing with a man before, but when he met An, he seemed to accept it logically.I didn't have any complicated thoughts, just because of this person, I accepted it.
The two of them felt a little impulsive when they kissed Mu Yuan, and An Ran obviously felt it too.
An Ran resisted uneasily, and Mu Yuan also knew that it was not the time, but it was just that he couldn't restrain himself.
"Did Ah Ran do it by himself?" Mu Yuan's slightly shortness of breath hit An Ran's ear.
An Ran was also a little moved, her eyes moistened, she was at a loss, "Do, what to do?"
Hearing this, Mu Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll teach you." Saying that, Mu Yuan stretched his hand in.An Ran's thing has raised her head slightly, Mu Yuan grasped it, and An Ran's whole body froze in shock.
Mu Yuan kissed An Ran's lips comfortingly, while slowly rubbing the still immature things.
"Hmm... a little uncomfortable..." An Ran slumped under Mu Yuan's body, her face flushed red, she was somewhat afraid of such a strange thing.
As a person who has been there, Mu Yuan naturally knows An Ran's feelings, so his movements become more gentle and provocative, only making little An Ran stand upright.
Because it was the first time, no skill was needed, and it came out safely after a while.Mu Yuan withdrew his hands back, his hands were full of An Ran's things.
The protruding stimulus made An Ran a little distracted, it was hard to tell whether it was uncomfortable or comfortable, and when An Ran calmed down her breathing, she saw Mu Yuan looking at her with a smile.
"You..." No matter how indifferent An Ran was, Xiao was too shy to speak at this moment.
But Mu Yuan didn't want to let him go easily, "How do you feel? Are you comfortable? Will you?"
"But, that's it." Would An Ranqi not know Mu Yuan's careful thoughts?No matter how embarrassing he was, he was unwilling to admit defeat, and could only force a disdainful expression, but the trembling voice betrayed him.
Mu Yuan didn't want to provoke him because of this, so he stopped teasing him, and just guided An Ran to help him out once.
Afterwards, the two got tired of being together, and Mu Yuan sighed, "I used to be muddleheaded, although I lived a comfortable life, but I am not as comfortable as I am now."
"Are you homesick?"
"Think, don't want to." Mu Yuan pulled An Ran's hand to play, "at least there is a younger brother in the family to take care of..."
An Ran leaned her head in the past, silently comforting.
Mu Yuan stretched out his hand and rubbed it, and said with a light smile, "Now I'm very glad that I can meet you here. If I had to choose again, I would definitely jump into that cold spring on my own initiative."
An Ran smiled silently, and only held the hands of the two of them even tighter.
完结
Winter goes and spring comes again, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Mu Yuan just came back from Xujia Village in a carriage.Fuyuan Restaurant has been able to rank in the top three in Yaocheng, which is no longer comparable to what it used to be. Now when they see Mu Yuan, everyone will save face and call him the shopkeeper Mu.
In addition to the restaurant, Mu Yuan also opened a shop specializing in ready-to-wear, because the clothes designed are very innovative and very popular with customers, so the annual income is quite considerable.
Mu Yuan supplies half of Yaocheng's vegetables and fish, and this business is already more profitable than restaurants.
Now everyone in the village is talking about the good fortune of Anjia, recruiting a fast-paced son-in-law like Mu Yuan, who was despised for being poor for a few years, but now he has become the richest man in the village, even in Yaocheng. It's a rich family.
Some people say it is good, and naturally some people say it is not good.
Xu Fang's family saw that An's family was getting richer and more prosperous day by day, and they were so jealous that they came out to gossip, "What's the use of being lucky? You're not a man, and you won't be able to have a baby if you marry. In a few years, Mu Far from having to take a concubine to inherit the incense?"
Xu Fang's family is a typical one who can't see anyone better than her, and they don't welcome people on weekdays, but this statement made many people think about it.No matter how good An Ran is, he is also a man.Mu Yuan doesn't dislike it now, but as time goes by, he may not be sure that he will want his own child.An Ran doesn't know how to give birth, so won't he have to take a concubine in the future?Not to mention that with Mu Yuan's current family background, it is also possible to take concubines now.
Besides, although this official wife cannot be a wife, it is also feasible to be a concubine.Even though I was married as a concubine now,
