Ugly man is hard to marry

During the Qingming Festival, the spring is bright and beautiful, and the scenery in Guiyun Villa is too beautiful to behold.

Fang Yunxuan followed Du Yishan up the stone steps, looking at the sea of ​​flowers blooming like clouds on the opposite mountain peak.There was the sound of gurgling water from the mountain stream, and a waterfall poured down, and the little drops of water hit a huge broken rock like beads and broken jade.

It is rare for Fang Yunxuan to have such a leisurely time. He no longer needs to worry about Shijinlou's business. Brother Nan also went to school to study, and his free time has increased all of a sudden. It also gave him more time to spend with Du Yishan. alone.

Not far from the waterfall, there is an octagonal pavilion. The small pavilion is not big. The columns are oiled with red paint, and the inside of the pavilion is painted with paintings of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.Du Yishan asked people to place tea and fruit on the stone table in the pavilion, and all the servants retreated outside the pavilion, and he sat opposite Fang Yunxuan.

Du Yishan was dressed in homely clothes, a jade-colored deep suit, which made him look a little less majestic than usual, but a little more casual and free and easy. Fang Yunxuan secretly looked at the person opposite while drinking tea, feeling the tranquility of the years in his heart. good.

Tea is best brewed and drunk right away. Fang Yunxuan used a cattail fan to heat up the fire in the small clay stove on the stone table, and the earthenware pot contained spring water from the mountain stream. It is sweet and sweet, and it is the best tea.When it boils, pour it into a teapot, remove the head with a grate, add boiling water, brew for a while, and finally pour it into a celadon teacup and hand it to Du Yishan.

"I'm not good at making tea. In the past, I just watched others make it. Now I'm imitating it. I don't know how it tastes."

In fact, as long as Fang Yunxuan made it himself, Du Yishan would feel good.

Picking up the teacup, he took a sip, and a gentle smile appeared on his face. Du Yishan asked Fang Yunxuan to taste it too, "This was awarded by the emperor years ago. Taste it and see if you like it."

The teacup used to hold tea is made in the shape of a lotus leaf, light blue in color, thin and thin, and makes a pleasant and crisp sound when touched lightly.The color of the tea soup in the teacup is bright green, the fragrance of the tea is frivolous, slightly bitter after the entrance, and slightly sweet when tasted carefully.

"It's good tea." Fang Yunxuan put down the teacup, "This is specially for tribute, it's hard to buy in the world, even if there is, it's some inferior products, not as pure as this one, and the quality of the tea is much rougher than this one .”

When Du Yishan heard the words, he called two servants, "Take all if you like." He asked people to wrap up the leftover tea leaves at home and send them to Fang Yunxuan.

Fang Yunxuan couldn't help being funny, this person is always like this, as long as he likes it, someone will definitely send it to him immediately, as if he was wronged if he was a moment too late.

Grateful in his heart, and did not refuse Du Yishan's kindness, Fang Yun thanked him, and said: "I will make a dessert with this tea, and bring it someday, it is a thank you gift for you."

Du Yishan said with a smile: "Then I've earned it. Now in Guangning Mansion, the only ones who can eat dim sum cooked by you yourself are Brother Nan and me."

Fang Yunxuan smiled without saying a word, and only said in his heart: As long as you like it, even if you want me to cook it for you every day, I will be happy.

The two continued to drink tea and chatted a few gossips. Fang Yunxuan asked, "Chong Yan has been away for more than a month, why hasn't he come back? But something has delayed it?"

Du Yishan paused, and said with a smile: "Teacher's affairs are a bit troublesome, and Chong Yan may have to stay in the capital for a while."

Fang Yunxuan must not let Fang Yunxuan know about going to Nanxuan to suppress the rebellion, otherwise he must turn his face.The love in Fang Yunxuan's heart must be equal to both parties, and I can't just wait for what you give.Fang Yunxuan looks gentle, but deep down he is strong and stubborn. He loves someone deeply, and he will never allow Du Yishan to pay so unilaterally.

Du Yishan knew Fang Yunxuan too well. If he knew that he was making a dangerous move and came up with such a way to exchange for that paper of marriage, he might immediately turn the table over and scold himself for "underestimating him".

Anything can be faced by two people together, even if it is a sea of ​​swords and fire, Fang Yunxuan will follow Du Yishan without hesitation to advance and retreat together. Fang Yunxuan will definitely not accept the thoughtfulness and benefits that are passively endured.

After hesitating, Du Yishan changed the subject, "Are you still busy at night? Why don't you stay at the villa and have dinner with me before going back."

Fortunately, Fang Yunxuan didn't become suspicious, picked up a piece of Yunpian Cake, and said with a smile: "Brother He is going to have a banquet at the Jinlou with the brothers from the Heming Gang tonight, and I'm going back to greet them."

Du Yishan was a little disappointed. The villa was built and he had his own mansion, which should have been a happy event, but since he moved here, he has lost a lot of opportunities to be alone with Fang Yunxuan. Can meet with Fang Yunxuan day and night.

In the afternoon, Fang Yunxuan got up to say goodbye, and Du Yishan also got up, changed his clothes, and said with an excuse: "I haven't seen He Shuangkui for a long time, and I just wanted to meet him for a drink. Anyway, I'm on the way, and I'll go back with you."

When the two left Guiyun Villa, they were not in a hurry, and walked slowly along the way, enjoying the scenery along the way.

It was already dark when we returned to the Shijin Building, and the lights had just been turned on in the lobby, Fang Yunxuan looked around, there were quite a few guests in the Shijin Building, and the room was full.

He Shuangkui had arrived long ago, and Fang Yunxuan was not there, so he asked his brothers to go upstairs first, while he leaned in front of the counter and chatted with the old shopkeeper, talking lively, seeing Fang Yunxuan coming in, he hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile : "Okay, your master is so carefree, let me wait!"

Fang Yunxuan hurriedly cupped his hands, chatted a few words, asked Du Yishan and He Shuangkui to sit in the private room upstairs first, he went to the kitchen to have a look, and then came.

The two agreed, and just about to go upstairs, a person suddenly walked in from outside the gate.

The man coughed when he entered the door, and shouted loudly: "Is the shopkeeper there?"

The sound was loud and loud, and everyone in the room was attracted. The guests glanced and ignored him, but Fang Yunxuan felt that there was something wrong with this person, so he couldn't help but stop and take another look.

This person is full of style, I saw him wearing a brocade robe with a collar, a pair of powder-soled moccasin boots on his feet, and a bamboo fracture fan in his hand. When he walked, the paper fan swayed slightly, and he walked into the lobby slowly and gracefully. , with a domineering expression on his face in Chinese characters, with the corners of his eyes hanging upwards.

The clerks in the Shijin Building are always sweet-talking and diligent. When they saw customers coming to the door, some clerks came up to greet them: "Guest officer, who are you? Are you sitting in the lobby or the private room?"

The man stood by the door, listened to the clerk's question, and ignored the clerk's question. He stretched out his hand to push the clerk back, looked around, saw Fang Yunxuan, and walked straight towards him.

Fang Yunxuan was taken aback for a moment, seeing what this person meant, he didn't seem to be here for dinner, but he seemed to be here for himself.

Fang Yunxuan didn't wait for the man to come to him, he cupped his fists and greeted him with a smile on his face: "I don't know what order does this guest officer have?"

The man was also taken aback. In his impression, anyone with a little money in their hands should be like him, and they should be able to grab two to five to eighty thousand.Although Fang Yunxuan's Shijin Building has just opened, its daily income is quite considerable, and now it can be regarded as half a wealthy person.It really surprised him that such a rich person could still put on a humble and polite attitude.

Looking at Fang Yunxuan from the top to the bottom of the head, and from the bottom to the top of the head again, there was a little contempt in his eyes, the man also showed a smile, cupped his hands, and replied: "I don't dare to give orders. I am Chen Xing, today I have nothing to do, I want to ask Boss Fang for a meal."

When Fang Yunxuan heard the name "Chen Xing", he understood eight or nine points in his heart.

Since Fang Yunxuan wants to open a restaurant in Guangning Mansion, Fang Yunxuan will naturally know all the competitors in this industry, who is the owner of the other restaurant, what are the characteristics of the cook, what is the specialty in the dishes, and what are the differences between them. These are things that must be understood Only by being clear and knowing ourselves and the enemy can we make a breakthrough in this city full of talents and kill a bloody road.

This Chen Xing is currently Shijinlou's biggest competitor, the boss of Juxianju.

Juxianju is the largest restaurant in Guangning Mansion besides Shijinlou.Not far from Shijinlou, Juxianju is opened on the west side of Gulou Street in Dongcheng, and there is only an alley away from Shijinlou. The two restaurants live next to each other. It's been a day or two.

Fang Yunxuan couldn't figure out why Chen Xing came here today. Seeing that he came alone, it didn't look like he was messing around.

Since ancient times, colleagues have been enemies, and the other party's intentions are not good, so it may be necessary to be careful.

Fang Yunxuan guessed in his heart, but kept his expression on his face, and said politely: "I have admired the name of Boss Chen for a long time. Your family has been a famous chef for generations, and Juxianju is the largest restaurant in Guangning. Are you here for dinner at Shijinlou?"

Hearing Fang Yunxuan's words, Chen Xing showed some complacency on his face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said with a smile: "Although Juxianju is a century-old store, but there are too many delicacies from mountains and seas, don't you also want to change the taste, so you don't know where to go Come out and taste something new in a small country shop."

These words were already a bit provocative, and it was obviously a satire that Shijinlou was not as good as his Juxianju.

The two of them were talking here, and the guests in the lobby could hear them, and some people inevitably looked over to see what was going on here.

If this goes on like this, if there is any disagreement and a quarrel breaks out, it will definitely have a great impact on the reputation of Shijin Building.

After all, Juxianju is a local tiger. It has been in Guangning Mansion for more than a hundred years and has been in business for several generations. Its reputation is far more stable than that of the just opened Shijinlou. Take your time and play it by ear.

Fang Yunxuan made up his mind, smiled at Chen Xing and said, "Since Boss Chen came here just because of his reputation, please sit upstairs!"

Du Yishan and He Shuangkui were still waiting at the stairs. Because Chen Xing came in, the two of them stood here and watched what happened on their side.

Fang Yunxuan led Chen Xing upstairs and walked up to Du He and the two of them. Chen Xing saw it at a glance, stopped immediately, changed his smiling face, and said with a smile all over his face: "I said they looked familiar. Lord and Boss He, today is my luck, I can meet the two nobles here by chance, why don't I let you be my host and invite the two of you to have dinner together, I wonder if the two nobles will show you face?"

He spoke politely, with a nice smile, but he couldn't make people get close to him. For no reason, he felt a chill coming from his back. These kind words seemed to hide a knife, and the cold wind was blowing, which made it difficult for people to have a good impression.
