Great Imperial Merchant

The running water mats of ordinary farmers’ houses are built in a shed at the door of the house, and several square tables are put together to form a long table, on which are placed high and low dishes, and a few large pots are placed on the side of the long table. Stir-fry and eat now, the taste is very fragrant.

As for Yang Zhongyuan and the others, they opened their shop to run water seats, and they still want passers-by customers to come in and sit in the store, even if they don't taste a single bite, at least they have to see the recipes hanging on the wall before turning around.

Yang Zhongyuan and Cheng Weizhe spent countless thoughts on this recipe, and almost all the signature dishes are hung with pictures. Even those who cannot read can at least know what the dish looks like through the beautiful pictures.

Sure enough, under the yelling of Cheng Weizhe and Yang Zhongyuan's family, a curious customer entered the store hesitantly, and was almost salivated by the smell of the room.

Before firing the cannon, all the cold dishes had been placed on the table. While Cheng Weizhe was talking to Yang Zhongyuan, the hot dishes were served one after another. There are neat and clean bowls and chopsticks, and the well-dressed waiter in the shop is serving the dishes neatly while greeting the guests with a smile.

Apart from them, there is also a special waiter who is in charge of fetching the freshly brewed tea from the boss at the door and serving tea to the diners non-stop.

At first, those customers who were a little hesitant saw that the shop was so orderly and the smell of the food was indeed too tempting. Thinking that it would cost nothing anyway, they all took their seats and picked up the bowls and chopsticks to eat.

After the first bite, I thought it tasted good, but after tasting the dishes one after another, the faces of those who came in for free to taste gradually showed surprised expressions. The waiter asked again for the name of the shop.

Yang Zhongyuan occasionally looked from the back kitchen to the front, and found that more and more guests came in to eat the flowing water table, but the first group of people who came in hadn't left, so almost everyone stood at the table, holding bowls and eating. Take a bite, hold a chopstick over there.

Although most of the people don't know each other, but they can occasionally catch up with a word while eating, which suddenly makes this newly opened restaurant look very lively.

Quzhou is almost the most prosperous county in Daliang. People here can eat, play and enjoy themselves. Of course, they can also make money.

Because there is more money in hand, the requirements for life will be higher.However, in daily life, food, clothing, housing and transportation are always inseparable. People in Quzhou have more understanding and experience of eating.

Whether a dish is good or not, it is naturally the best if it is full of color, fragrance, and taste, and this newly opened Fumanlou, even if it has such a tense water table, almost every dish seems to be carefully crafted, even if some are due to time. Pressed and not all that pretty, but the taste is top notch.

Take the most appetizing little stir-fried spicy chicken as an example. The chicken is tender and crispy, and the oil on the outside has a spicy and delicious fragrance. When you bite a small piece in your mouth, you will want to grab another piece. Can't stop eating.

But the rice and steamed buns placed by the window are always warmed with a charcoal basin. No matter when diners come to pick them up, the rice is still hot and smells tangy.

Maybe it's because the diners inside always have surprises on their faces, or maybe it's because the smell wafting from the restaurant is really delicious, or maybe it's because the boss greets him at the door with a very warm smile. In short, more and more diners enter Fumanlou More and more, it ends up being a crowded scene.

Cheng Weizhe was delivering tea to passers-by with a smile on his face. He didn't put down the teacup in his hand until several men in brocade gowns came up to him.

"Several, I'm sorry, there are too many guests in the building now, why don't you come back another day? I will treat you then."

Those few people were not ordinary guests, so Cheng Weizhe spoke very politely.

The leader, a tall, thin man in blue, smiled and said, "Boss Cheng, you are too polite. We are all engaged in the gluttonous business on Baozhu Street. Today I saw you Fumanlou opened, so I came here to congratulate you."

Those who can do business on Baozhu Street are naturally good people. Although they are all engaged in food business, the entire Daliang has a vast area, and there are more than a dozen kinds of cuisines. Of course, there are all kinds of fried rice noodles and meat dishes. .

Although there is some competition between their several restaurants, whether they can make money or not depends on the ability of each restaurant.

After hearing this, Cheng Weizhe hurriedly called the waiter to come and make tea for him, and asked another waiter to lead the bosses up to the second floor, while he himself said a few words to Han Shiqian before going to the back kitchen to say hello Yang Zhongyuan.

There were a lot of people eating at this moment, and Yang Zhongyuan had just been busy for a while. When Cheng Weizhe lifted the curtain, he was sitting in front of the stove wiping his sweat.

Making a flowing water table is much more tiring than making a table with noodles, because the dishes cannot be interrupted, and the guests will be unhappy if they are interrupted.They were already making a profit today, so naturally they couldn't disappoint the guests.

Seeing Cheng Weizhe coming in, Yang Zhongyuan's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Why are you in the back? Don't come in, the smell of oily smoke is strong inside."

Because he and Master Sun were the only two chefs, Yang Zhongyuan didn't even drink his saliva after a busy morning, and now he looked pale and pale, and his lips were gray.

Cheng Weizhe's heart tightened, and he felt that even his breathing slowed down. He walked into the kitchen and wiped the sweat off Yang Zhongyuan's forehead with a handkerchief, then lowered his head and said softly: "Some other restaurant owners are coming to visit, you come up with me to meet them." Bar."

Although he was very busy this day, it didn't matter if he was busy. He felt uncomfortable seeing Yang Zhongyuan tired.

In the past, he didn't like to see Yang Zhongyuan feel uncomfortable or tired, but now that he is married, this feeling is more obvious.Even if there is any discomfort on Yang Zhongyuan's expression, he still has to worry about it. After all, he always feels that he is married to Yang Zhongyuan, so he wants to give him the best life, instead of asking him to follow him and still be so busy Busy, never idle for a moment.

Sure enough, Yang Zhongyuan's eyes became even brighter when he heard what he said. He looked up at Cheng Weizhe, although his face was pale, but he smiled brightly: "It's just right for you to call me. The steamed vegetables have just come out of the pot. I'll bring a portion for them to taste." Try it, come this trip, you can't tell people to go back without eating anything."

Cheng Weizhe nodded, slowly helped him up, and then went out of the kitchen to wait for him at the door.

After a while, Yang Zhongyuan came out and patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go, bring some cold vegetables and willows, it shouldn't look rude."

Xia Junran gave them a lot of face this time. This year's new wine, Fuliu, tastes soft and sweet. It is not strong, and it doesn't taste too good if you drink more. It has a special flavor when it is chilled.

Except for the old customers that the Xia family had cooperated with in the past years, only Yang Zhongyuan and his family were able to sell Fuliu as soon as they opened, which also made many other merchants look at them differently.

Although it is a newcomer, it is not to be underestimated to have such a good relationship with the Xia family.

Cheng Weizhe smiled, took Yang Zhongyuan's hand, and the two went up to the second floor together.

This day, only the water mats were made in the lobby of the restaurant, and although the second floor had already been refurbished, there was no one there. When Yang Zhongyuan and the others went up, they found that Xiaoer named Xiaoshan had invited several guests to the restaurant. In the best private room, tea and snacks have already been served.

This is a quick kid, Cheng Weizhe and Yang Zhongyuan looked at each other, and they both remembered his name.

Several bosses inside saw Cheng Weizhe leading Yang Zhongyuan up, stood up one after another, and said in unison: "Congratulations to the two newlyweds."

Yang Zhongyuan cupped his hands at them, and said with a smile: "Seniors, you are being polite. Ah Zhe and I have just arrived. I originally thought about inviting them over for a good meal in a few days, but I didn't want them to give us face like this. To be able to come here in person today, Fumanlou is full of splendor."

The man in blue who stood at the front said after hearing this: "This is Boss Yang, right? You are too polite. We are doing business together on Baozhu Street. Naturally, we all have to work together to make a lot of money together, right?"

His words made everyone in the room laugh. Cheng Weizhe told everyone to sit down, and then asked Xiaoer to cover them with willows, and pulled Yang Zhongyuan to stand up: "Seniors, you have been on this street for a long time. He is much older than us, Xiao Yuan and I are really happy to be honored today, and now we have a toast to everyone, and wish the bosses the God of Wealth to come in and good luck."

After he finished speaking, he exchanged a glance with Yang Zhongyuan, and the two drank the wine in the glass neatly.

Seeing that he and Yang Zhongyuan were really good and sincere, the bosses present felt that the two of them were good for business, so they couldn't help but want to drink up.

Unexpectedly, Yang Zhongyuan stopped them, and said with a smile: "Several, although you can come here in person today, it is logical that we can't justify it if we don't get drunk, but we know that the family will definitely be watching, why don't I and Ah Zhe pay respects?" In the future, we will have a lot of opportunities to drink together."

What he said was reasonable, the bosses originally thought of giving congratulatory gifts and then went back after a few polite words.

It's just that I didn't expect that Fumanlou's etiquette was so thoughtful, and he did enough to save face, which made them all feel at ease after hearing this.

They looked at each other, put down their wine glasses, and waited for Cheng Weizhe and Yang Zhongyuan's second glass of wine.

This time, it was replaced by Yang Zhongyuan. He said: "Today we opened Fumanlou, and a few people came here to appreciate the face. Our whole family is very happy. This glass of wine, toast a few people for their righteousness, and it's done."

After they finished their glass of wine, Cheng Weizhe picked up the glass again, this time speaking most sincerely: "For the third glass of wine, I would like to thank you all for congratulating me on my marriage."

His words were very short, but very heavy. Even if others couldn't hear the friendship in it, it still made Yang Zhongyuan's eyes blush.

Most days are getting happier and happier, and he gradually withdraws all his heart. He is often moved by Cheng Weizhe's simple words, just like this time, he seems to hold a heart in his palm, encouraging him to say no out eagerly.

Several bosses saw how deep the relationship between the two of them was, so they couldn't help but raised their wine glasses and said together: "I wish you two will be united forever, and after a hundred years, the business will be prosperous and the wealth will be abundant.
