The news that Xia Yi won the first place in the meal competition soon spread in the capital.
Ruyi building became more famous for a time.
Xia Yi simply added several dishes she cooked in the palace to the menu.
Many diners who have never been to Ruyi building also want to taste the food in Ruyi building.
Among them are many officials who went to the palace to watch the meal competition.
After more than half a month of booking, the lobby is full every day, and the entrance of Ruyi building is taking pictures every day, which is very spectacular.
Knowing that Ruyi building is about to open a new store, diners are also looking forward to it.
With the experience of the previous two shops, the new Ruyi building from site selection to decoration to the following series of steps are very smooth.
About a month later, everything in Ruyi building has been ready, and the opening day has been set, just two days later.
Before the opening, the Ruyi building was already full of channels.
Many people hover in front of the red paper posted at the gate of Ruyi building. No one wants to miss the opening time of Ruyi building.
Rao Shixia Yi was shocked to see such a scene.
Before she had time to publicize the opening of the new Ruyi building, such a large group of people began to pay attention to it.
It seems that this opening saves a lot of publicity.
Xia Yi is going to leave, but he sees a man standing on one side of the shop.
That person is not like others around the red paper at the door of the shop, but standing a little far away.
He kept rubbing his hands, wandering back and forth, looking at the crowd for a while, looking up at the closed door of the shop for a while. He just walked two steps forward, then stopped, and then returned to the original place after a while. It seemed that he was struggling.
And the man was dressed in poor cotton cloth, not like a restaurant eater.
Xia Yi slightly doubts, hesitates for a moment, and walks towards the man.
After approaching, Xia Yi finds that the person who hesitates for a long time in front of Ruyi building is no other than her second uncle Xia Erfu.
Xia Yi came forward and called, "second uncle."
Xia Erfu is in a trance. He is startled by Xia Yi's sudden voice. He suddenly turns his face to the back and sees Xia Yi standing there.
"Second uncle, what are you doing here?"
"No... nothing..." Xia Erfu stepped back in some panic and some embarrassment.
Xia Erfu has been standing here for a long time to do psychological construction. Xia Yi has seen all this. Naturally, she knows that Xia Erfu must have something to look for her, and it is very likely that he asked her to help.
That's why Xia Erfu has been struggling for such a long time.
"Second uncle, I want to buy some vegetables to cook. If you have nothing to do, come home with me and have a meal." Xia Yi offers to invite.
"You... Aren't you busy? I heard you opened another restaurant Xia Erfu looked up at the empty door of the shop and asked.
Xia Erfu was able to find this place because he was told by the staff of Ruyi restaurant. The staff said that the shopkeeper had been busy with the new restaurant recently and had been there all the time.
Xia Yi said with a smile: "the busy are busy, wait two days later to choose a auspicious time to open."
Now the new restaurant only has the plaque, and the plaque has been taken down by Xiao Linmu, so Xia Yi can really have a free time these two days.
She has been busy for a month, and finally got this free time to accompany Xia Yang.
No, Xia Yang asked for fried chicken and French fries. Xia Yi went out to buy some vegetables and chicken to make some delicious food for Xia Yang.
"Second uncle, let's go, and try my craft while you are free."
Xia Erfu has not yet reflected that Xia Yi has already taken two steps with his arm.
Xia Erfu scratched his head and said, "I've tasted your cooking in Kangfu last time. Your craft must be very good. It's said that you won the imperial chef in the palace competition. That's amazing
Xia Yi smiles: "what kind of food does the second uncle want to eat?"
"I... I can do it." Xia Erfu stammered when he was nervous.
"Well, I'll do whatever I want." Xia Yi doesn't ask any more. Anyway, there will be Xia Erfu to buy vegetables for a while. We'll talk about it then.
Xia Yi bought a lot of vegetables, Xia Erfu helped her carry a lot, Xia Yi's hand is still occupied.
Xia Erfu came to Xia Yi's yard for the first time. After he stepped into the door, he was stunned.
The yard is big and beautiful. It must not be cheap in the capital.
Xia Er Fu stood at the gate of the hospital, looking from the left to the right, and then from the right to the left.
Xia Yi took two steps and found that Xia Erfu didn't keep up with him, so he stopped and called, "second uncle!"
Xia Erfu came back to his senses and couldn't help swallowing. He became nervous again. "This... This is your yard?"
"Well, uncle, you're welcome. Come in."
Xia Erfu followed him, and as he walked, he couldn't help exclaiming: "your yard is really big, bigger than the yard in the village. It's going to cost a lot of money, isn't it? "
Xia Yi said: "someone is just in a hurry, so I bought it at a low price."
Xia Erfu clearly knows that even if it's a low price, it will cost a lot of money.
He followed Xia Yi all the way to the kitchen. After helping Xia Yi arrange all the dishes, he rolled up his sleeves to help Xia Yi work.
"Second uncle, I can do it alone. Just take a break." Xia Yi specially helps Xia Erfu make a pot of good tea, and takes some snacks that he usually makes for Xia Yang. She leads Xia Erfu to her study and asks Xia Erfu to wait for her in her study.
Just these two days cold thousand never in, summer Yang is summer meaning press in the study to read.
When Xia Yi is ready to eat, he sees Xia Er Fu chopping firewood in the yard with an axe.
The firewood was neatly piled by the wall, half a person tall.
It seems that Xia Erfu is not idle at all.
In the study, the food on Xia Yi's desk didn't move at all, just a little less in the teacup.
Xia Yi shakes her head and goes out to ask Xia Erfu to eat.
Xia Erfu was a bit restrained, but every dish Xia Yi cooked was delicious. Xia Erfu still couldn't help eating more.
Xia Yi has been waiting for Xia Erfu to explain her intention, but until Xia Erfu has had dinner, Xia Erfu still doesn't say anything.
"It's... It's getting late. It's time for me to go back." Xia Erfu stands up and says to Xia Yi.
"Xia Yi turned and went to the kitchen, wrapped the fried chicken in kraft paper and handed it to Xia Erfu," second uncle, take this with you. "
Xia Er Fu hesitated for a moment, but he accepted the chicken. He didn't always get meat, and the chicken fried by Xia Yi was much better than what he had ever eaten.
Xia Yi sent Xia Erfu to the door, Xia Erfu said: "no... no need to send, I go back to Kangfu, the road is not far."
"Wait a minute." Xia Yi calls Xia Erfu.
Xia Erfu doubts, "is there anything else?"
Xia Yi said: "I should have asked the second uncle about this sentence."
"What... What?" Xia Erfu should be nervous again, and he could not help pinching the kraft paper bag in his hand.
"The second uncle specially went to the shop to find me. Must be something? If you have anything to say, we are uncles. If we can help you, we will help you. "
"..." Xia Erfu hung his head and was silent for a long time before he said: "I... I want to borrow some money from you."
