Nan Qiqi asked Granny Lan to open the door, but found that the door was not locked.

Several people looked at each other, "You don't even lock the door, are you afraid of losing the things inside?"

Nan Qiqi wanted to open the door to see what's going on inside, but Lu Rulan held him back: "I'll go in first, you guys will follow behind."

Lu Rulan has been farming the fields for so many years, and she has the strength to break a person's arm with a single punch. She is used to walking to the front and protecting Nan Qiqi behind her.

Before Nan Qiqi could answer, Lu Rulan pushed open the door one step at a time. After opening the door, she saw that all the things inside were there, nothing was missing, and there were traces of cleaning.

There was too much commotion on their side. Two bald men rushed out from the back kitchen, holding frying spoons and shovels in their hands. They thought it was a thief.

But when he came over, he saw two women, a little girl and a beautiful and weak little brother at the door.

Standing behind them was an elderly and tall lanky coachman. Such a combination, no matter how you looked at it, was not lethal.

The two chefs put down their spatulas and asked them, "Who are you?"

Nan Qiqi poked her head out from behind Lu Rulan and asked them, "Who are you?"

When the two chefs heard Nan Qiqi's sweet voice, they also softened their voice a little bit, for fear of scaring this soft little brother: "We are the cooks here, and the master sold us to The new master's house, the new master's house hasn't come yet, you guys want to eat, wait a while."

"You misunderstood us, we are not dinner guests." Nan Qiqi took out the house deed and their deed of sale from her arms, "I am the new owner of this place, come here to have a look, are you the cooks here? ?”

The two cooks were very surprised to hear that this guy said he was the new boss.

They have never heard of a brother who came out to open a restaurant, and this brother looks weak, can he open a restaurant of this size?The two cooks looked down on Nan Qiqi from the bottom of their hearts.

The restaurant had been open for nearly 200 years before being lost to the prodigal son of the previous owner.

The grandfathers of these two chefs worked as cooks here. Their grandfathers signed a contract of prostitution. They were originally working as handymen, but the boss taught them how to cook and taught them a century-old secret recipe, treating them like his own sons. Treat, their father was also a cook here, and now it has been passed down to their generation, and they are still cooks here.

If there is no prodigal son, their next generation, the next generation will be like them, faithfully cooking here.

So after the restaurant was sold, they didn't take advantage of the chaos and escape, but continued to stay, wanting to protect the place, which they regarded as their home.

They also hoped that the next boss could restore the restaurant to its heyday, but after seeing Nan Qiqi, their hearts sank.

They felt that Nan Qiqi was so good-looking, it should be some high-ranking official or the concubine of a certain prince or prince of the royal family, and this restaurant was bought by those big shots for this brother to play.

In this era, brother's status is the lowest, and only the poor who really can't marry a wife will marry a brother. Naturally, it is impossible for those rich and powerful to marry a brother as a wife. To be a concubine, an ordinary brother is only worthy of being a man's plaything.

So even men like these two chefs who are their own slaves will subconsciously look down on brother, let alone accept a brother as their boss.

Nan Qiqi was still immersed in the joy of owning a big restaurant, so she didn't notice the expressions of the two of them at all.

"Mother, let's go take a look." Nan Qiqi couldn't wait to go in and have a look, but she was afraid that Lu Rulan would think he was too reckless.

Lu Rulan also wanted to take a look, "You two are familiar with this place, show us around."

Those two chefs thought that Lu Rulan was Nan Qiqi's biological mother. Not only did their men look down on their brother, but they also looked down on a woman who could only bear a brother but not a boy.

They felt that if Lu Rulan could give birth to a boy, even if her brother bought the restaurant from someone else, the mother would not let her brother take care of it, but give it to her son as a matter of course.

After all, no matter how much benefits brother brings to the family, it is worthless.

That is to say, it is really impossible to give birth to a boy, but to give birth to a brother. There is no other way. Let the restaurant be managed by the brother.

"Okay, we'll take you on a tour." The two chefs are brothers. The elder brother was reluctant, but the younger brother was more good at superficiality. He secretly bumped his elder brother with his elbow to tell him not to make a bad face.

No matter how much they look down on this brother, their contract of selling their lives is still in Nan Qiqi's hands. Brothers are very cautious, if they don't like it and kill them both, they can only accept their fate. revolt.

The elder brother put away his reluctant expression, and followed his younger brother to lead them the way.

The restaurant has three floors. There are [-] tables in the restaurant on the first floor, boxes on the second floor, and individual rooms. The decoration is very elegant, and each compartment is decorated in a different style.

Before closing the door, many literati like to come here to drink and write poems. Almost every cubicle wall is hung with everyone's poems.

When Nan Qiqi saw the poems written by everyone, she moved over excitedly to observe them. Before, Mr. Qin always said that his poems were good poems, but compared with these people, he was still much immature.

He was not in a hurry to visit, and carefully read the poems hanging on the walls of each private room several times.

The two brothers looked at Nan Qiqi wasting time here, and their hearts were full of contempt. Brother, can you read?Just put it here.

Just as they were thinking this way, they saw Nan Qiqi take out a notebook and a charcoal pencil from her arms.

The charcoal pens were made for him by my husband. Before that, Lu Ziqian made many of them, which are more convenient for drawing or practicing writing. He also gave Nan Qiqi how to use them, and also made Nan Qiqi an exquisite one. Small notebook, tell him when he has inspiration, just take out the notebook and write it down, it is convenient and easy to use.

In the past, Nan Qiqi did have the situation that when he got inspiration and went back to find a paper to write down, he forgot it. Since he got the small notebook given to him by his husband, he no longer has to worry about this kind of problem.

But today he didn't suddenly get inspiration, he just wanted to make a copy of these verses and read them carefully when he went back at night.

The two brothers almost dropped their jaws when they saw that Nan Qiqi could really write.

But they didn't drop their jaws in admiration, but felt that Nan Qiqi's mother was too willing to spend money on her brother.

This kind of brother who can read and write has a special flavor, and can be sold at a higher price than that kind of stupid brother who can't do anything.

But would Nan Qiqi know how to read and practice calligraphy, and these two wouldn't look at Nan Qiqi highly, they just thought Nan Qiqi was a more expensive plaything.

Lu Rulan watched Nan Qiqi write from the side, and felt that such a Nan Qiqi was very attractive.

When Nan Qiqi first married into the Lu family, Lu Rulan's attitude towards Nan Qiqi might have been like raising a kitten and puppy. She didn't need Nan Qiqi to work or cook, as long as she could be with her son, let her The son no longer goes to dangerous places alone, just don't let the son be alone.

But as time went by, her attitude towards Nan Qiqi also changed, and Nan Qiqi seemed to have become another child of hers.

When she treated Nan Qiqi, she felt like when she just picked up Lu Ziqian. God gave her a child, and now she has another good child.

Seeing this good boy getting better and better, she was also happy.

Nan Qiqi quickly finished copying these poems, and it took almost half an hour.

After he finished copying everything, he put away the notebook in satisfaction, and only then did he look back and see that everyone was waiting for him.

He scratched his hair in embarrassment, "I kept you waiting for a long time, let's go to the third floor to have a look."

The two cooks took Nan Qiqi up to the third floor, and the third floor was different from the second floor.

On the third floor, there is a space in the middle, surrounded by a layout where slippers can be stepped on, and there are small tables on it, where you can sit cross-legged or even lie down.

Each table is separated from the table by a sheer curtain.

Nan Qiqi had never seen this kind of layout before, and asked curiously: "What is there for such a large space in the middle?"

The two brothers explained to Nan Qiqi that the middle seats are usually used for performing songs and dances, or selling and playing music.

Moreover, the dancers who danced before, the girls who played and sang, or the brothers were all invited by their original shopkeepers from various romantic places, and there were performances every night.

Lu Rulan shook her head dissatisfied, "Eat as soon as you eat, what are you doing with all these fancy things? If this place is dirty, we can't mess with it in the future."

Nan Qiqi frowned. The husband took him to Qian Yi's Tianxiang Building to eat before. There were also some players who played and sang there. He will also say some nasty words, or use hands and feet.

Nan Qiqi looked very uncomfortable. When Qian Yi was there that time, Qian Yi threw them out when he saw him, but when Nan Qiqi knew that he was not there, Qian Yi would not meddle in other people's business.

Nan Qiqi also thought that when he ate at Qian Yi's restaurant, he had never seen any female customers or elder brothers. He also asked Qian Yi, and Qian Yi said that generally when female customers go to a restaurant to eat, they have to be accompanied by their family members. And you have to wear a veil, and go to the private room to eat, otherwise you will be bumped into by a foreigner and your reputation will be affected.

The daughters of ordinary families don't have to go out to wear a veil, but their families don't have the money to eat in restaurants.

Brother's status is low, no matter how rich the family is, it has nothing to do with him, and it is impossible to have the opportunity to eat in restaurants.

Nan Qiqi felt very uncomfortable after hearing those words, but he didn't know why he was depressed.

Now he is going to open a restaurant. My husband told him before that he will open a restaurant in the future and ask him to sell Malatang, buy rice noodles, and smoothies...

Xianggong talked about a lot of things. He wrote down the ones he had eaten, and couldn’t remember the names of the ones he hadn’t eaten, but he knew it was delicious from the description.

There are so many delicious foods, only men can eat as they like, but their brothers and girls can't come to eat them often, he feels unfair when he thinks about it.

Seeing Nan Qiqi frowning, the two cooks guessed that Nan Qiqi had retreated, and said something to scare Nan Qiqi, "There are also guests who will bring people over, and those people are also women from that kind of place or Brother, you also know that some literati just like this."

When Nan Qiqi heard this, she felt that men were so dirty, those men couldn't write poems without hugging a woman?He could write poetry when he was alone!

He felt aggrieved, and suddenly didn't want to share the delicacies he had eaten with these dirty men.

Lu Rulan was also very angry when she saw Nan Qiqi's expression was not good, and she said to the two chefs: "We will open the door for business in the future, but we are not allowed to have such dirty things. Whoever dares to bring people over, I will beat them up." go out."

The two cooks said with some difficulty: "This is not good, driving away customers will affect business."

Nan Qiqi sighed, "Forget it, we'll talk about this later, isn't there a yard behind here? Is the kitchen over there? Take me to see it."

Looking around the kitchen, he was quite satisfied with all the kitchen utensils inside. There are also a few children in the kitchen, who are said to be the apprentices of the two chefs and bought by the master.

Children are quite timid, and the two cooks said that these little ones were quite clever at first, but they became timid after encountering these things recently.

Nan Qiqi didn't care about these, and asked them what their names were.

The two chefs' older brother is called Wang Da, and younger brother is called Wang Er. They took the surname of the original master. They were very afraid that Nan Qiqi would change them. I don't want to take my brother's last name.

Those children have no names, the oldest one is called Xiaoyi, and then they are lined up one by one, Xiaotwo, Xiaosan, Xiaosi... Xiaoqi.

Nan Qiqi felt that these names were too random, but it was too tiring for him to name seven children in one go, "You children should follow this order in the future, and follow my husband's surname Lu."

How could those children dare not follow, they nodded quickly and said, "Yes!"

Wang Dawang Er didn't expect Nan Qiqi to have a husband?He is married?

After thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong. A plaything still calls a man Husband, really shameless.

Nan Qiqi walked around and felt that he had finished reading and could go back first. He walked to the door and saw the plaque at the door, "This name needs to be changed."

Lu Rulan also felt that the brand had to be changed, "The feng shui used to be bad, so we need to change the name, otherwise we will be easily influenced."

When Wang Dawang Er heard this, he was a little anxious, "This name was passed down from the ancestors, but I don't want to change it. If it is changed, the old customers will not recognize it."

"Whose ancestor?" Lu Rulan had never been so speechless before: "We bought a restaurant and changed our ancestors, what happened?"

Wang Da Wang Er has feelings for this place, and he is reluctant to change it, "If you change the name, we will stop cooking."

"If you don't do it, you won't be able to do it well." Nan Qiqi wanted to own her own restaurant, so the name really had to be worthy, "Go and help the cook later, I'll hire some more some other day."

Wang Da and Wang Er were a little anxious, thinking that the new owners bought this restaurant because of their craftsmanship.

But this brother actually said that he would let them be the helper cook, and not let them cook!Isn't this a waste?

Sure enough, he is a brother with little experience, leaving them two well-known chefs in the capital unused, and let them be assistant cooks.

Alright, they'll just be the help cooks. Let's see what to do if this guy's business can't continue in the future!

Nan Qiqi said as she helped Lu Rulan get into the car, and he followed suit.

"Let's buy a carriage another day." Lu Rulan suggested.

"Mother thinks it's not good to ride in a donkey cart?" Nan Qiqi wondered why Lu Rulan, who had always been frugal, wanted to change to a carriage.

"It's not bad, but mother remembers the emperor's imperial decree saying that you should not show your face in public, and look at how many men are looking at you in this street." Lu Rulan blocked Nan Qiqi by her side, and let Granny Lan Block, cover the eyes of those people.

Nan Qiqi took a look, and sure enough, he saw many men looking at him.

Recently, he won the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital. Naturally, everyone who knows wants to take a look at him and appreciate his beauty.

Seeing this, Nan Qiqi covered her face with her sleeve.

Now he has to be watched by so many people every time he goes out, if he opens a restaurant in the future, he will not be seen by more people, just look at it, what if someone wants to harass him?

At Qian Yi's restaurant that day, he still feels scared after seeing those women being harassed by customers.

Could it be that he really got to go behind the scenes in the future...

After returning home, Nan Qiqi began to think about the new name of the restaurant.

It took a long time to think of a good name and custom-made a new plaque, and soon it was the day when Lu Ziqian took a rest.

Lu Ziqian didn't rush home this time, but went to buy some things for the bed first.

He and Nan Qiqi want a baby, so naturally they don't need to think about contraception, but in order not to hurt Nan Qiqi, and to complete this matter more smoothly, they still need some supplies.

He went to buy some paste-like items commonly used by people in this era, with various scents, strong ones, elegant ones, and aphrodisiac effects, all kinds of which dazzled people.

The prices of these things are also different, the expensive ones cost a few dozen taels a small bottle, and the cheap ones cost a few pennies.

Naturally, Lu Ziqian chose the expensive one. He first bought two bottles of 50 taels, and went back to try it with Nan Qiqi. If it works, he can buy more in the future.

In the past, when he returned home, he would see Nan Qiqi waiting for him as soon as he opened the door, but today when he opened the door, there was no sign of Nan Qiqi.

He only found out after asking Lu Rulan that the emperor came to give Nan Qiqi a restaurant some time ago, and now Nan Qiqi is thinking about the name of the restaurant in his study.

After listening to Lu Rulan's description, he realized that this restaurant is quite big. Lu Rulan and Nan Qiqi asked Mr. Qin about the price here, and Mr. Qin said that there is no one who can't pay 100 million taels for such a big restaurant. Cooks and their craft are also very valuable.

100 million taels, upon hearing this number, Lu Ziqian said in his heart that the emperor was not the original owner and his own father, he didn't even believe it.
