    Under the shade of the trees in the small courtyard, Zhao Hao and Fan Datong were drinking tea and talking.

    "Where's the Da Bao'en Temple?" Zhao Hao poured a cup of tea for Fan Datong for the first time, which made Old Fan feel flattered and hurriedly took it with both hands.

    "I've been there. Master Xuelang invited me to tea. I didn't expect that the monk's monastery is really luxurious. There is a picture of Tang Bohu's beauty hanging on it, which makes people easily distracted."

    Fan Datong clicked his tongue as he recalled what he saw and heard at Xuelang's place, wishing he could replace it with the other.

    "What did he reply?" Zhao Hao looked at Fan Datong closely. Xuelang's reply was much more important than Ma Xianglan's.

    "The Master read your letter and said, 'Tacky, too tacky.'" Fan Daxue imitated Xuelang's accent and shook his head in such a way that Zhao Hao wanted to strangle him to death.

    "Then he just refuses to help?" Zhao Hao felt a chill in his heart. How could something that was so sure of him go wrong?  Doesn't the monk really love me?

    "No, he said he would go all out and invite the most famous gourmets in Nanjing to give you delicious food." Fan Datong said with a smile: "Because he wants to help you get rid of poverty as soon as possible so that you can concentrate on poetry.  creation."

    "Uh, okay" Zhao Hao nodded dumbfounded. This monk, just for helping people, made people so unhappy.

    "He asked you to tell him in advance when Weiji Xian will open, so that he can have time to invite diners." Fan Datong added: "Just tell him one day in advance. He said that as long as he says hello, others will appreciate it."

    Zhao Hao threw the almanac in his hand into Fan Datong's arms and said, "Then we will list it tomorrow and open the day after tomorrow!"

    "So fast?" Fan Datong and Qiaoqiao both said in surprise.

    "Since everything is ready, why not wait for the New Year?" Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows, and there was no cloud in the sky.

    ??~~

    The next day after breakfast, Fang De came over to invite Zhao Hao to hang a plaque for the restaurant.

    Although the official opening will be tomorrow, the listing is still a big event, and the owner cannot be absent.

    Zhao Hao readily agreed, and with Qiaoqiao's help, he stepped on the thin Chenqiao satin shoes, put on a new light blue lake silk summer robe, tied it with an indigo brocade belt, hung a white jade pendant around his waist, and finally put on a new  Knotted black silk mesh scarf.

    The net scarf is a sign of a man's adulthood. Zhao Hao put it on in advance just to pretend to be mature in front of the people below.

    When he finished dressing up, he looked at the slightly blurry bronze mirror for a long time, but he couldn't see his handsome appearance clearly. He couldn't help but miss the delicate silver-faced bronze mirror in the palace of the Minister

    "Okay, don't be so pretty," Qiaoqiao covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Hurry over there, everyone is waiting for you!"

    "Okay." Zhao Hao took the golden fan handed over by Qiaoqiao, opened it and shook it, but felt that it was a bit too pretentious, so he threw it back to her and went out empty-handed.

    ??~~

    By the time he reached the front, the restaurant was already full of people.

    In addition to shopkeeper Fang and his wife, the Gao family and his son, Yu Jiachang and his son, elder brother Zhao Jin, Wu Yu and his wife, there are also two hired chefs, four assistant cooks, and four waiters, all waiting for the arrival of the owner at the door of the restaurant.

    Neighbors also came to watch the fun, and when they saw Zhao Hao, they couldn't express their congratulations. It looked like it was opening today.

    ¡°The boss is here, let¡¯s set off the whip!¡± Yu Peng shouted hurriedly.

    Then there was a strong man who lit the ground red, crackling, filled with smoke, red crumbs all over the ground, very festive.

    The couplets in the restaurant have been hung up a long time ago, but they are just covered with red silk, and the content is unknown.  Once the plaque is hung up, everything is ready for the restaurant to open.

    Zhao Hao covered his ears and watched Gao Wu and Wu Yu step on the ladder to hang the plaque covered with bright red satin on the lintel of the restaurant.

    Amidst applause, Zhao Hao invited the neighbors to visit the store.

    ???????????????????????????????????????: No trace of iron was found in this restaurant that was converted from a blacksmith shop. The Sanhe soil floor that was originally covered with thick coal ash was covered with a red pine floor that had just been brushed with tung oil.  The walls were also freshly painted and hung with various calligraphy and paintings.

    In the lobby, there are only six Eight Immortals tables with red rosewood branches. The distance between the tables is very wide. Each table is equipped with eight comfortable armchairs, which can accommodate two people walking side by side.

    In the end, Shopkeeper Fang followed Zhao Jin¡¯s suggestion and moved the counter back three feet.  After eliminating three tables, the lobby looks very spacious.  Moreover, a wooden platform about a foot high can be set up at the opposite corner of the counter as a place for the violinist to perform.

    Behind the large counter made of wenge wood, there is a suspended wine rack like a wine rack, which is filled with a dazzling array of various fine wines, making people arouse the wine bug as soon as they enter.

    Caijiaxiang?The neighbors, who had never entered such an elegant and sophisticated restaurant, were a little hesitant for a while, fearing that it would be damaged or stained somewhere.

    "Everyone just feel free to do it." Zhao Hao greeted everyone upstairs with a cheerful face: "I hope everyone can give more opinions."

    ¡°Said as if he would listen¡­

    The stairs leading upstairs are clean and spotless. Upstairs are four separated rooms, named "Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter".

    Before Zhao Hao could show off, he heard a burst of noisy curses coming from the door of the restaurant.

    Immediately afterwards, I heard a few broken gong voices shouting downstairs: "Get out of the way quickly, the official is on duty!"

    "You dare to stop Mr. Cha, do you want to rebel?!"

    The neighbors all looked at Zhao Hao, but Zhao Hao smiled nonchalantly and said: "The shopkeeper will take care of this little thing, let's continue."

    With that said, he led people upstairs to show off the differences between his four private rooms

    ??~~

    Downstairs in the hotel, the atmosphere was already very tense.

    Li Jiutian, an official from Shangyuan County, and eight or nine white servants wanted to break into the store.

    Gao Wu and several men stopped at the door, not allowing them to go in and cause trouble.

    "Gao Wu, don't be so shameless. You are just a commoner now. How dare you stop the county from running errands?"

    Li Jiutian looked at Gao Wu with his nostrils and snorted disdainfully: "If you don't get out of the way, I'll lock you in the prison cell!"

    Gao Wu sneered and picked up the chicken wing wood door latch.

    "You can fight if you can." Li Jiutian pointed to the square flat-top hat on his head.  "If you give me a beating, not only will you not be able to open this shabby shop, but you will also have to go to jail for the rest of your life!"

    Gao Wu gritted his teeth for a while, but in the end he did not swing the stick.

    "You don't dare to fight, do you?" Li Jiutian sank his face triumphantly and said, "If you don't dare to fight, just get out of the way!"

    "Li Jiutian, you are deliberately causing trouble, aren't you?" Yu Jiazhang stepped forward with an unkind expression and said to Li Jiutian: "The money for the door stall has been paid, and it has been reported to the sixth house. What else do you want?"

    "Is that enough to report to the sixth room?" Li Jiutian took out his ears, blew the earwax off his little finger, and sneered: "How come you haven't seen a penny of the money you paid to honor our third class officers?"

    "That's right, we men don't have a penny of salary, so we live with this filial piety." The white servants holding water and fire sticks also started to cheer up and said, "Let us drink from the northwest wind, and you will also be hungry together!"

    "Okay, okay." Today is a happy day. Shopkeeper Fang didn't want to get entangled, so he hurriedly took out five taels of silver and presented it to Li Jiutian.  "Please take care of me in the future"

    Li Jiutian took the money and weighed it. Suddenly his face sank and he cursed: "I'm sending away beggars!"

    Actually, five taels of silver is already a lot. Generally, when a shop like this opens, you can only pay two or three taels of silver at most, and that¡¯s it.

    But today Li Jiutian is not just here to ask for money!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
