【265】Daily Advancement and Fighting Gold (Part 1)
Ouyang stood in front of Xu Shiji, with a sad face and indescribable grievance.
Xu Shiji smiled and seemed to think teasing Ouyang Shi was the greatest pleasure in life.
According to the old calendar, Ouyang was scheduled to officially open on the sixth day of the April 2018, so he came here to invite Xu Shiji to go there. But he didn't expect that he had always been good at speaking and became stupid. Xu Shiji responded without even thinking about opening, but he asked in a serious way: "Is there Changsun Linling among the guests?"
Ouyang stammered and didn't know how to answer, and felt very uneasy. He also heard the song Ye and talked about the fact that the governor and Changsun Linling had a lot of relationships, but he had never seen this old fox ask for it for many days, so he was relieved. Who knew that at this time, he was suddenly "shot" by Xu Shiji and was unprepared.
Ouyang had actually thought of this question for a long time, but when he remembered the one-year appointment with her, he felt a little sad. Besides, he didn't know how to contact Changsun Linling. The only way he knew seemed to be to contact Xu Shiji, so he put down his thoughts.
"Boy, I'm too lazy to care about your young people, but I, the uncle, can't look at you, benevolent. Although the girl from the Di family is good, the girl Changsun is not bad either. As far as I know, she is infatuated with you and pursues you, can you really not be attracted to her?" Xu Shiji used the lid of the tea cup to remove the floating tea powder, and looked at Ouyang intentionally or unintentionally. Xu Shiji knew Changsun Linling's life experience, and even more so, she knew her experience. Seeing that the girl really liked someone, she couldn't help but feel willing to serve as a matchmaker for the two of them, but he knew Ouyang's temper. He was the one who could not speak any more whenever he had an idea, so he could only adopt a roundabout strategy.
Ouyang scratched his head awkwardly and looked at the governor innocently. "Governor, I have had a one-year appointment, so let's follow God's will!"
Xu Shiji waved his hand, gently placed the teacup on the table, pressing his old cold legs, slowly stood up and walked backwards, and muttering as he walked: "Hey, you'd better solve your own business..."
Three days were like flying, and there were still many pedestrians on the street early in the morning of the sixth day of August. However, when everyone met, they no longer asked if they had eaten, but asked: "Can you go to Panlong Restaurant today?" The reason why Ouyang thought of this was a trick that Ouyang thought of - promotional advertisements. When Yun Niang heard this word, she felt dizzy when she heard this word. According to Ouyang's instructions, she set up six long tables in front of the restaurant that had not yet opened, and she still covered the red silk. The table was free of charge for the restaurant chefs, and there were ten kilograms of "fire roast" - this was the name of the wine set by Ouyang. This wine was limited to three or three, and it was not given for too much. In this way, the four words "Panlong Restaurant" were instantly spread throughout the city with the skills of the two top chefs and the unique spirits of this era.
Yun Niang and Chu Xiang, who were erect, were really shocked by the number of Jinyang people who came to try food and wine the next day. The four-meter-wide South Street was surrounded by water. In the end, the service could not run to maintain order to prevent accidents. In just two hours, the food and wine that were free of charge every day had been sold out. Looking at the crowd that was not dispersed, Yun Niang had no choice but to make an extra day limited supply, but refused to supply it anyway. Looking at the expressions of the unhappy and anticipated people on the street, Yun Niang and her family were full of confidence. As for the news that the restaurant was officially opened on the sixth day of April, there was no need to promote it. The free food in the past three or four days had cultivated countless diners who were looking forward to it.
On the sixth day of the fourth month, Ouyang Shang was in the quilt and was awakened by the noise of the second entering the yard. He rubbed his still-hard eyes and looked at the sky. When he saw Shi Chen Shangcao, he fell down and covered his quilt to try to "retrieve". However, he didn't expect that the movement in the yard became increasingly louder, and even through the thick quilt, he could not stop the lively atmosphere.
"Who is conscious of the dream first? I know in my life. I have enough spring sleep in the cottage, and the days outside the window are slow. I can't enjoy this state..." Ouyang stretched and muttered helplessly. If he had changed his daily life, he would have been beating his ears, and he should have been sleeping and continued to sleep. But today, it's a good day for the restaurant, and if he is sleeping, he will inevitably be nagged by his mother.
From the bedside, I picked up a long gown that Yun Niang made for herself and put it on her body, and hung several exquisite accessories on her waist. She looked a little more energetic. When she opened the door, she saw that Ouyang was so energetic. The seven brothers changed into new shirts and chatted with Chu Tian’s two junior brothers. Yun Niang helped the old lady and changed into an exquisite long skirt that she rarely wore on weekdays, chatting with Chu Tian and chatting with Yun Niang’s parents and Chu Tian. The old shopkeeper Wang Shiwen, chef Jiang Tong and Liu Yanluo gathered in a corner, and the ten adopted children changed into colorful new clothes and kept passing through the crowd to hand in some morning tea spots. Only Chu Xiang was sleepy because of pregnancy.
Everyone's faces were full of joy, and the joy was revealed from their bones and could not be blocked. Wulang's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Ouyang pushing the door and looking at each other, he shouted: "Brother Eighth Brother! Spend money!"
Now, the old and young, men and women in the yard were all around here and shouting, which made Ouyang confused. Seeing Ouyang's stupid look, Yun Niang hurriedly stepped forward and laughed and cursed: "Silly boy, today's happy day, how can you go out empty-handed? The family is waiting to ask for good luck with you! I put it on your desk yesterday, didn't you see it?"
Ouyang didn't know that there was still this custom, so he hurriedly turned around and found that there was indeed a small package on the table. When he opened it, he found that there was a pile of copper coins and silver, which was very dazzling when mixed. The money was not much, about 200 taels, but the meaning of it was unavoidable.
"What's the matter..." Ouyang scratched his head and did not hesitate. He picked up the package and walked out in two steps. He smiled and grabbed a handful and sprinkled at his brothers, muttering the words: "Don't let me sleep well, don't blame me for being dispersed!"
His brothers and Chu Tian’s two disciples were at the age of lively. He was so angry that he was so angry that he snatched from the air and snatched none of them from the ground. After the snatch, he stared at Ouyang with a fierce look. He would not finish it if he didn’t give it to him. He smiled and sent the brothers over. Ouyang respectfully gave them a handful of handfuls to the two old ladies, Chu Tian and the four old men. Next, he gave Yun Niang and the two chefs a few handfuls, turned around and sprinkled at the ten children. He kept the rest for a while to the shopkeeper, waiter and servant.
After the distribution was completed, there were scattered everywhere, but no one went to pick it up.
"Sister, why no one wants the money on the ground?" Ouyang handed the small package to Li Feng, a steady among the ten children, and asked in confusion.
"You are already a general. If you ask others like this, it would be strange if you don't laugh at them to death. The money you have to do is to respect the world. You have to stay on the ground for a day and then you can only pack it up tomorrow. Who is stupid to touch God's bad luck?" Yun Niang smiled and pushed Ouyang and continued, "Go to the front yard quickly. There are probably no fewer people there than here. They are all servants and friends in our homes and restaurants. You need to spend more money. I asked the old shopkeeper to prepare a pack for you when you are not enough. This is a good time to win people's hearts. Don't be stingy!"
Ouyang laughed when he heard that he was going to disperse the money: "Sister, isn't your brother a stingy person? I know, I know--"
At the beginning of noon, that is, the eleven o'clock in the future. Ouyang and Yunniang helped the old lady out of the restaurant still covered with red gauze, and everyone lined up behind her. Although they expected that there might be a lot of people today, Ouyang still underestimated the enthusiasm of the people of the Tang Dynasty. At first glance, the entire South Street was densely packed with heads, and there were at least 6 or 700. Fortunately, it was warm spring, Ouyang used money early to ask the city staff to come to maintain order so that there would be no chaos. Otherwise, there would be many people who fainted from heatstroke in the summer.
The old lady Li Wang looked at the enthusiastic neighbors and people, her hands couldn't help but tremble slightly, and her face was full of pleated radiance. She married into her husband's family from a large family in the boudoir to settle in the remote Panshan Village. The hardships and the gap can be imagined. She never expected that she would still have such a glory today, even if she went there immediately, she would have the face to meet the ancestors of the Li family.
"My son, what kind of virtue did I accumulate in my previous life to get you? Mom is happy, happy..." Li Wangshi held Ouyang's rough palm tightly, and tears fell involuntarily.
When Ouyang saw it, he quickly took out a silk squid to wipe her tears carefully and said, "Mom, happy days are still there, so you can wait. Don't cry, you are still waiting for you to cut the ribbon!" After that, he winked at the third brother Geye beside him. Geye, who played the host of the ceremonial, smiled and used the oversized voice he trained in the army: "The auspicious time has come, it's good to open it-"
As soon as he finished speaking, the blasting rods prepared on both sides of the restaurant (Tang called "firecrackers" "bangboo") sounded, followed by the drum music and suona, and the rhythm was even more intense. The people who had been waiting for more than a few hours below bowed and shouted. This warm scene was not new, and many restaurants opened like this. Then the subsequent paragraph made them unforgettable for the rest of their lives, and even happily told them to their descendants when they were old.
In this lively atmosphere, three men and three women were wearing strange pairs of men and three women. The men wore square-cornered jackets, tight black beards and short boots. At first glance, they looked a little weird, but they looked very energetic and handsome. The three women wore tight clothes (cheongsams) that looked like skirts and non-skirts. The sleeves were short and three points exposed to white arms, and the long knees showed their jade ankles. The delicate and stylish figure made many men drool. Not to mention that this was a handsome man and beauty that Ouyang Zaozao ordered from ordinary people to find. He looked one of them. After nearly two months of secret training, his elegant temperament was even more charming.
The cheering people were suddenly stunned by the three pairs of wonderful people coming out, and the scene was absent. No couple of men and women dragged a long plate together, with a gold cutter inside and a big red flower ball. There was red silk at both ends of the flower ball, and the three plates never broke. The three pairs walked gracefully to Ouyang, Li Wangshi, and Yunniang, and both lifted the plates.
Ouyang smiled indifferently, cleared his throat and said loudly: "** Everyone is very loving, Panlong Restaurant is in Jinyang today. Ouyang Yu has no choice but to share it with everyone, one food and one wine. Eat the world and the wine is the most popular! Please-" After that, Li Wangshi and Yun Niang picked up gold cutters from the plate and cut them on the red silk, which means opening. At this moment, the big red gauze covering the entire restaurant slowly descended, gradually revealing the true face of the restaurant.
I heard the exclamation of the crowd gradually sounded, and then the cheers were heard. The entire restaurant had long disappeared from its original appearance as Guiyun Tower. The new restaurant could be said to have arched eaves and carefully carved. No one had ever seen the clever interweaving of gold, red and black colors outside the restaurant. Not to mention that the wooden carvings and stone carvings on the empty table were among the finest in Jinyang. The most amazing thing was the fourth floor - there was no wall or wall, only the white gauze and green bamboo curtains were hanging down, and some long green and white grass were placed on the empty table. When the wind passed, the white gauze and bamboo curtains swung gently like waves, as if they were empty and ethereal, which was very meaningful.
