Chapter 27： Juren Li Yi

It has been several years since Shen Laifu became a chef in the profession, he has seen many restaurants and inns, but he has never seen a restaurant with such a peculiar layout.

It doesn't touch the magnificence, but the seats in the lobby are in order, surrounded by green leaves and red flowers, and I feel comfortable just looking at it, not to mention that the seats in a self-contained space are so elegantly decorated.

The seating arrangement is wonderful, and other details of the restaurant are handled with great care. The teapots, cups and saucers on the table are all printed with a striking "Fu", which is even more impressive. And wearing a uniform blue shirt with a "Fu" embroidered on his chest, Xiao Er from the shop feels energetic...

Shen Laifu didn't know where a scholar came from so many fantastic ideas. At this moment, the admiration in his heart was like the water of the East River. How could it be a word of approval.

"Shen...Shen Yan, I want to say whether our food prices should be slightly increased?" Shen Laifu looked at the new menu brand, almost falling out of his eyes.

"Our food is so delicious, and this restaurant is so unique. It doesn't look like ordinary people would patronize it, but the price of this dish is also..." The best restaurant in the county is Changsheng restaurant, but no matter it is a restaurant The layout here is still the taste of the dishes, Shen Laifu thinks that their Tongfu Restaurant can take a few streets away from Changsheng Restaurant! A good meal in Changsheng Restaurant costs one or two silver, but he just calculated it, their restaurant only costs five or six hundred dollars, how can this work!

Shen Yanbei explained to him: "Because our restaurant is not low-grade, ordinary people will hesitate to come in. Therefore, thanks to the joy of opening, the price of the food in the first two days of opening has been deliberately lowered. This is In order to attract customers, it is also to buy reputation and publicity for our Tongfu restaurant." He is not worried that the low prices of food in the first two days will lead to a loss. There are not too few rich people in the county and not too many poor people. In the past two years, the weather has been smooth and ordinary people have surplus food. His restaurant is full of freshness, and ordinary people are willing to spend money to watch the excitement. I watched it lively and tasted the food. After two days, the reputation of his restaurant will spread. After three days, those who really can afford it will naturally come to patronize in the future.

Shen Laifu suddenly realized that the look in Shen Yanbei's eyes changed. He was worried that Shen Yanbei's scholars were not good at management, but now he seems to be very clever, even the greedy people and the desire to join in the fun are counted. It's really not a person to look like!

Everything was ready, and Shen Yanbei picked a lucky day for the opening.

It was early in the morning when a newly opened restaurant on Changchun Street, the most lively in the county, was exposed to the red silk on the plaque amidst the sound of festive firecrackers, and the four shining big characters of "Tongfu Restaurant" Show it in front of people.

Someone noticed this place when the restaurant was renovating, and now they will go up and inquire as soon as they open.

"Shopkeeper Liu? Why is your owner so willing to spend your money on redecorating the restaurant? Could it be that the sun came out to the west?" Everyone in the county knows the stingy reputation of the original restaurant owner. I thought the restaurant had changed ownership. The original shopkeeper couldn't help but feel strange.

Shopkeeper Liu stroked his beard and smiled twice: "The owner has changed. Today is the day of our great celebration with Fu Restaurant. The new owner said that to celebrate the opening of the restaurant, guests who come to the restaurant for dinner in the past two days can enjoy discounts. Price." At this point, the shopkeeper Liu paused, pretending to be profound and authentic: "Guest officer, if you are interested, you can go in and take a look."

"Hey, are there any other good things?" The visitor was even more curious.

"I said, treasurer Li, look at you with a mysterious face, is there something hidden in this restaurant?" another person joked.

"It's hard to say that there is a hidden universe, but our Tongfu Restaurant is not an ordinary restaurant. It will definitely satisfy you."

"Yes, for you, I will give you a taste today!"

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and spread his hands: "Please inside!"

As soon as the visitor walked in, he was immediately shocked by the different style of decoration in the restaurant.

"This... how does it look like a garden?"

The visitor looked at everything around with interest, and the energetic Xiao Er in Tsing Yi came forward and greeted: "Guest officer, you are early, where do you want to sit?" There are a total of 18 tables in the lobby. A door-to-door customer, you can choose your seat!

"Your store is so beautiful..." The visitor looked around, and finally chose a seat by the window.

"Guardian, what do you want to eat?" Xiaoer asked respectfully.

Come sit in a small space, look around and look around, it's amazingly novel.

"What do you all have to eat? I haven't eaten breakfast yet!"

There is a wall in the lobby with many small wooden signs on which the names of various dishes are written. The shop Xiaoer asked the people who came over and recommended a few early.

The dishes will be served soon. Staring at the steaming porridge in front of him, it seemed to be fragrant and soft, as well as the exquisite breakfast. The visitor was stunned, and there was no way to start.

Guests came in one after another, and everyone was fascinated by everything in front of them like the first one to enter the door...

In the private room on the second floor, Shen Yanbei and Gu Changfeng are having breakfast. Today the restaurant opens, and as the owner, it is impossible for him to be absent.

"Come and try this." Shen Yanbei used chopsticks to put a soup dumpling in Gu Changfeng's bowl, and then showed him how to eat it. "First bite a hole in the skin, drink the soup before eating the buns. Be careful of burning your mouth."

Tongfu Restaurant is a modern restaurant, mainly engaged in morning tea and rice market. Not to mention the food market, the morning tea alone is enough to attract people.

After preparing to open the restaurant, Shen Yanbei found out the eating situation of the people here. There are only a few things to eat in the morning, such as porridge, wonton, steamed buns, pancakes..., the choices are very limited. Because saccharin is expensive, and the cakes made with sugar are expensive to sell, ordinary people are not willing to eat them, so they buy some sugar cakes for the children at home to relieve their hunger during the holidays. That's why he didn't find a pastry shop on the street that day. And the early snacks sold in their restaurants are all made by improving the simple and inexpensive dim sum styles he chose from the modern dim sum variety, such as shrimp dumplings, noodles, siu mai, shortbread, mullet cakes , Zongzi and so on. Just looking at it makes the index finger move!

Gu Changfeng tried to eat one and commented very pertinently: "The soup is very fresh, the buns are thin and thick, and they are delicious!"

Shen Yanbei smiled, and pushed the porcelain bowl with the word "Fu" on the blue background: "The porridge is not hot anymore, can you try it?"

In the white thick porridge exuding attractive aroma, there is a bright red shrimp and half dew, and there are some green onions in the porridge. The color and fragrance are delicious.

Gu Changfeng put a spoonful of porridge into his mouth and swallowed it slowly.

"how?"

Gu Changfeng nodded: "It's very fragrant, fresh and warm."

"You can eat all of these, if you like, I'll go home and make them for you." Shen Yanbei squinted. White pepper can dispel cold, invigorate the stomach, and improve freshness. Adding some white pepper to the porridge can make the porridge more aromatic.

A piece of steamed pork ribs was clamped into a bowl, and Gu Changfeng's calm black eyes looked directly at him: "I'm not hungry, you eat." Shen Yanbei stared at him to eat, without moving his chopsticks.

Shen Yanbei graciously picked up the ribs given by his daughter-in-law: "Walking with you later?" After the restaurant opened, I could finally have a good break, just taking advantage of the bright spring and wandering around with my wife!

"it is good."

The downstairs gradually became lively, some guests wanted to book a private room, and the shopkeeper greeted the guests upstairs graciously.

There was a small noise at the door, and it seemed that someone was talking. As soon as Shen Yanbei opened the door, he happened to see a plain but arrogant man in brocade clothes talking: "This restaurant is indeed different. It seems that the owner of this restaurant has not been less proficient in strange skills."

The young man in the green robe beside him smiled flatteringly: "Brother Mingde is right, otherwise, how can I attract guests?"

Another young man in sapphire silk clothes also echoed: "Businessmen are chasing profit, even if they have more thoughts, they are also spent on yellow and white things. It is not enough to be vulgar." The mole on the lower right corner of the mouth followed while speaking. Shaking, looking eye-catching and funny.

Shen Yanbei: "..."

Did he use some means to attract customers to make a little money?

The man seemed to be very satisfied with the compliments of the two, and his faces were full of joy. When he turned his head and saw Shen Yanbei, his eyes changed.

Shen Yanbei: "..."

He looks scary?

"Isn't this Shen Xiucai from Shenjiacun?" The man stretched his tone and raised his eyebrows, looking at Shen Yanbei's gaze intriguingly.

The original owner knew this person? Shen Yanbei turned over the memory of the original owner and found out the identity of the other party-Li Yi, a talented Lijiacun talent.

The relationship between Lijiacun and Shenjiacun was not very good, and the original owner did not have much contact with each other, so Shen Yanbei slightly nodded to say hello.

The man lowered his face, obviously unhappy.

The young man in Qingpao scolded: "You are really rude. You don't know how to salute when you meet the Master Juren, and you say that you are a scholar. It is really a dog who reads books! I don't know the shame and do not understand the inferiority!"

Shen Yanbei was taken aback. It turned out that the village chief said that there was a man named Li Yi in Lijia Village.

Sure enough, the villain got his ambition.

When the restaurant opened on the first day, Shen Yanbei did not want to be unpleasant, so he apologized to make a series: "I can't live in the next for a long time. I don't know if it's a big man. I am ashamed."

Li Yi snorted, and looked at Shen Yanbei arrogantly: "I heard that you were very ill a while ago? It seems that the rumor is true. You are actually sick and faint." He waved his hand pretentiously: " Nothing, you who don’t know are not guilty."

The young man in Qingpao said immediately: "As expected to be Master Juren, I won't be able to keep up with this kind of mind when I wait for it!"

Unwilling to be left behind, the blue silk youth denounced Shen Yanbei: "Master Juren has a lot of trouble with you. If you are still so rude next time, you will stop calling yourself a scholar and go home and farm!"

Shen Yanbei just smiled, and Gu Changfeng quietly clenched his hand on his side.

Seeing that there was no embarrassment on the north face of Shen Yan, Li Yixu asked coldly, "Isn't your house going to be unopened? Why did you come to this place?"

Shen Yan didn't change his color to the north, and opened his mouth nonsense: "It is said that the price of this restaurant is very favorable two days before it opens. I specially came with Fu Lang to try it."

The blue silk youth sneered and looked contemptuously: "This is a swollen face to fill a fat man? Then have you eaten well? Have you eaten well? For the sake of Master Juren's acquaintance with you, I have invited this meal!"

Gu Changfeng's face sank, and Shen Yanbei quickly said, "Thank you for the invitation, we have already eaten well. Let's leave Juren's Yaxing without disturbing Yaxing."

When Li Yi lifted his eyelids, he looked straight at Gu Changfeng, who was beside Shen Yanbei.

"...This is the pair you paid for Chongxi? It's not as famous as meeting."

Shen Yan's northern eyes were slightly cold, and the hands under the sleeves clenched unconsciously.

"It's a good match for you." Li Yi chuckled lightly, with a deep meaning.

As soon as these words came out, the two people beside him stared at Shen Yanbei and Gu Changfeng recklessly.

"What Juren said is that Shen Xiucai, your body, is just right for your husband to protect you, but you have to be careful when the lights are dark! Hahaha..."

"Yes, Shen Xiucai, you are so small, but you have to be careful not to be crushed!"

The blue veins on Gu Changfeng's arm were looming, and Shen Yanbei squeezed his hand tightly and smiled embarrassedly: "I made you laugh. I like him like this."

The young man in Qingpao's smile was stagnant, and he looked at Shen Yanbei like a fool. The blue silk young man looked contemptuous.

"Your preferences are quite special." Li Yi smiled without a smile.

"What you said is." Taking his wife's hand openly, Shen Yanbei smiled and said, "My husband and I are going to go to the county to stroll, don't pass it."

Seeing Shen Yanbei turning around to leave, Li Yi suddenly asked: "I wonder if Shen Xiucai saw Miss Wanru in the past two days? She gave me a purse that day, saying that I liked the poems I made, and I haven't thanked him in person. Pass her."

"Girl Wanru? Girl Lin?" Shen Yanbei looked blank, "She came to me that day and asked if Tian Zu could pay it later. I refused her. I haven't seen her in the past few days." Wen Yan comforted Li Yi, "If I see her, I will convey your gratitude to her, don't worry."

Li Yi's face was hard to look instantly.

Shen Yanbei smiled, arched his hands and left.

Seeing Li Yi's dark face, the young man in Qingpao spit: "Bah, what is it?"

"This kind of poor ghost can only pick up such ugly monsters!" The blue silk youth smiled on his face: "Let's ignore this poor, come and taste what is delicious in this restaurant!"

"Yes, yes! We will visit the magistrate later, but we can't be upset because of this kind of sour scholar..."

Li Yi's face was slightly dark. At that time, Shen Yan obtained the fame as a scholar at a young age, and was well-known for many miles and eight villages. His family was well-earned, and his appearance was handsome. He suddenly became the yearning object of many young and beautiful women and twins. It's pity for him to study hard for ten years, and as the first talent in these ten miles and eight villages, he was forgotten.

Later, Shen Yan's parents died unexpectedly, the Shen family was defeated, and Shen Yan gradually fell into despair, and he studied hard, regardless of cold or heat, and finally passed the Juren exam when he participated in Qiuwei for the third time!

Thinking of this, Li Yi was smug.

It's just a down-and-out talent, and by then he will become a parent official. Isn't it a matter of a word?
