The food festival starts at 9 a.m. and ends at 9 p.m.

The genius was so bright that Qingxi and Cuicui, Xiaolan, and Meng Jin started to work hard. It was not troublesome to prepare two pasta, such as cat ears, shrimp and eel noodles. The trouble was Qian Wang Sixi Ding. Since receiving the notice of being selected for the Food Festival, Qingxi has bought twenty tripods and an old duck in the backyard in one breath.

After the dense ducks called "Gagaga" in Qingxi, Cuicui and Wang Ma from the kitchen sat under the wall to clean up the ducks and prepare the first batch of ingredients. Meng went into the mountains to pick up the spring water for cooking duck soup. Qingxi tasted more than a dozen spring waters. Hupao and Longjing's spring water were naturally good, but there were too many people who took the water and were easily discovered. Therefore, Qingxi picked up another little-known spring, but the distance was slightly farther.

At half past six, Qingxi put the fresh old duck into the pot and started to simmer over low heat.

"Grandmother, mother, let's go first." At around seven o'clock, Qingxi said goodbye to his family.

Old Mrs. Xu looked at the white shirt on her most beautiful granddaughter, and she couldn't show the girl's exquisite figure at all. For some reason, she felt sad. She was so beautiful that she was a young lady and turned into a female chef who showed up in public.

"Be careful on the road, don't hit it." Old Mrs. Xu reminded him worriedly with urged the iron pot with charcoal fire on the cart.

Lin Wanyin also gave some advice.

Qingxi smiled and waved to her two sisters before leaving: "It's fun, go home and tell my sister."

Yuxi and Yunxi said in unison "Yeah".

Qingxi and the guys set off, and Wang's mother stayed at home to continue cleaning up the ducks.

Nanhu is the favorite attraction of the people in Hangzhou. There are many people who come here to visit. Today, there will be a dragon boat race on the Nanhu Lake. The square next to it will also hold food festivals, beautiful scenery, competitions, and food. To put it an exaggeration, most people in Hangzhou will choose to come to Nanhu to celebrate the festival today.

Qingxi and several others were sweating profusely and pushed the guys to the entrance of the square, and saw that the pavilions selling pastries and snacks were already entertaining guests.

"Are you?" The staff of the association who was responsible for arranging the venue came to review Qingxi's information with a schematic diagram of the square stall.

"Xu Qingtang." Qingxi said calmly, but she felt sweaty in her palms, worried that President Jiang would stumble on her at the last moment.

Under her nervous gaze, the staff looked down and said, "Xu Qingtang." After that, he called a guy wearing a red hat and asked the guy to lead Qingxi and others to the location of Xu Qingtang's stall.

Everything went well, Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief.

But her heart soon shrouded a new haze, because the association's friends led them to the corner farthest from the lake.

"This is the worst location in the square, right?" Cuicui asked indignantly.

The guy glanced at her contemptuously: "A new noodle restaurant that just opened last year is good enough to have a location. If you want to put it in the middle of the square, can't you do it? If you want to do it, otherwise you will go home and have other noodle restaurants to substitute."

"you……"

"Cuicui." Qingxi grabbed Cuicui and shook her head.

Cuicui blushed her face before she could barely swallow her cowardly.

The guy left proudly.

Meng Jin didn't know the grudge between the Luo family, President Jiang and the Xu family, but he had seen Qingxi with his own eyes be troubled by Secretary Sun of the association, so he whispered: "It must be that Secretary Sun who holds a grudge and deliberately uses such a low-key method to retaliate against us. Miss, I just saw Mr. Chen, why don't we ask him to help change the place?"

The wine was also afraid that the alley was deep. Meng Jin glanced at the small corners of the noodle restaurant again, and the dining table was almost on the road next to him. The more he looked, the worse he became.

Qingxi knew very well that President Jiang was the person behind Secretary Sun and the president in charge of the association's civil affairs. If she went to find Chen Shao, Chen Shao, and Old Master Chen would either choose to stand by or offend President Jiang for her. Even if she was an acquaintance, Qingxi would not want to cause trouble to others, let alone the Xu family and Chen family were just brief friends.

"Let's just come here." Qingxi made a decision with a smile, and while cleaning up the stall, he encouraged the three guys: "Everyone is cheered up and is dejected. The guests are disappointed when they see it, and they are even more reluctant to come to our place to eat."

Meng Jin, Xiaolan, and Cuicui looked at each other. Although they were still unwilling to accept it, they could only recognize the person under the roof.

Maybe I was afraid that things would be too ugly. Once someone pursued Xu Qingtang, I left a handle for him. Although Xu Qingtang's stall was the most remote, the place was very spacious. There were 80% new dining tables, dining chairs, bowls and chopsticks behind the stall. Meng Jin was still worried. He tried every chair and made sure that it would not surprise the customers, so he was a little relieved.

Unfortunately, because the location is remote, new guests are attracted by the pavilions in front of them. They go to enjoy the scenery when they are full. There are very few people who can walk to Xu Qingtang.

"You have to find a way to attract business." Qingxi did not impulse to ask Chen's family for help, but as so many customers dispersed to other stalls, Qingxi was very unwilling to accept it. Her eyes swept over Meng Jin and Cui Cui in turn, and finally fell on Xiaolan's face. Qingxi whispered: "Xiaolan, go and pick up guests on the way to enter the venue."

Among Xu Qingtang's friends, Xiaolan is the best at treating people, she is eloquent and smart.

"Well, I'll try it." Xiaolan shouldered the heavy responsibility and ran towards the entrance.

While Qingxi entertained pitiful guests, he also paid attention to the situation in Xiaolan.

Xiaolan shouted very hard, but even if the customers who heard her voice became a little interested, the road from the entrance to the Xuqingtang stall was too long, and the road was full of famous delicacies in Hangzhou. Therefore, this part of the customers who did not have to eat noodles were diverted, and there were still not many people who arrived at Xuqingtang in the end.

"Go and call Xiaolan back." Qingxi ordered Meng Jin bitterly. Since the results were very little, why bother with Xiaolan wasting his lips and tongue? He shouted loudly and took his throat.

Xiaolan was not willing to give up. On the way back, she was about to pass by Shanjuke's stall. She deliberately slowed down and looked at the handsome man in a blue shirt inside.

Chen Yao looked over accidentally and recognized Xiaolan, and then he subconsciously looked behind Xiaolan.

Xiaolan seized the opportunity and greeted Chen Yao with a smile.

"Where is your stall?" Chen Yao looked around.

Xiaolan curled her lips and pointed to Xu Qingtang's position.

Chen Yao looked over and couldn't see Qingxi at all through the crowds of people, but this was enough for him to judge that Xu Qingtang's stall was very bad. If he had known about this yesterday, Chen Yao would have a way to help Qingxi change its location. Now all the stalls are full. No matter how proud the Chen family has, Chen Yao would not be able to do anything to drive people away.

He can't help.

Xiaolan saw it and did not force Chen Yao to pull Meng Jin away in disappointment.

"It's better to be the third master." Xiaolan couldn't help but muttered as she was far away from the Shanjuke stall.

Gu Mingyan is rich and beautiful, but he is fickle and romantic. There are old ladies and big ladies in his family who look down on the lady, so he is not a good match. Young Master Chen Yao is also rich and beautiful, gentle as jade and gentleman as bamboo, with almost no shortcomings. Unfortunately, Chen Yao has less domineering personality. He knows that the lady has suffered a grievance, but he still chooses to watch.

If the Third Master had the right to interfere in the association, knowing the Miss’s situation at this time, the Third Master would definitely help the Miss at all costs.

Thinking of this, Xiaolan decided to go home and go to Old Lady Xu to take a breather, which also made Old Lady Xu understand the goodness of Third Master.

"Miss, I'm useless." Xiaolan said depressedly when she saw Qingxi.

Qingxi comforted her softly: "You have tried your best, it doesn't matter, let's think of other ways."

Xiaolan looked back at the crowds of people in the middle of the square, like a cat standing on the shore facing a pond of fat fish, with no solution.

Qingxi is also greedy, even more greedy than the guys.

what to do?

Qingxi lowered his eyes, tried to calm himself down and think calmly.

Her cat ears, shrimp eel noodles, and Qianwang Sixi Ding are not inferior to other delicacies. The worst is the location. As long as it can attract the abortion, Qingxi is confident to retain customers.

How to attract?

Shout loudly? There are too many people, and they don't have that loud voice...

sound?

Qingxi's eyes lit up, and various thoughts emerged in his mind, and in the end, only the most suitable one was left.

"Xiaolan!" Qingxi went to find Xiaolan excitedly and sent her to do the job again.

Xiaolan ran to the road without saying a word.

Half an hour later, Xiaolan fulfilled her mission and invited a Yue Opera troupe to support the scene.

The place where Qingxi was divided was large enough, and the dining table was tighter, so a space for opera was freed.

In the huge square, not many people noticed the arrival of the opera troupe, but soon, someone heard the familiar song, which was the familiar "The West Chamber".

“Where is singing?”

"It seems to be east, ah, I saw it, let's go and have a look!"

During the Dragon Boat Festival, people go out and want to be lively. Wouldn't it be great if they can eat and listen to opera?

More and more people are coming towards Xu Qingtang. The tactful Yue Opera attracted them, and it is naturally better to sit while listening.

"Come on the evening shrimp and eel noodles!"

"Dad, I want to eat that tripod..."

Not only was Xu Qingtang's business full, but several equally deserted stalls near Xu Qingtang also benefited from it. A honest boss came here to express his gratitude to Qingxi and was willing to share the cost of hiring a show.

Qingxi is not short of money, she wants business, which is the reputation that Xu Qingtang should have.

Thanks to my colleagues for their kindness, Qingxi rolled up her sleeves and focused on making noodles.

She was wholeheartedly, but the owners of other pavilions in the square noticed the grand occasion of Xu Qingtang's crowded guests.

Chen Yao was very happy for Qingxi and also admired Qingxi's wit.

The stall of President Jiang’s family is next to Shanjuke. President Jiang also came to take charge in person. Seeing Qingxi bringing back the bleak business, President Jiang became really worried for the first time. The girl from the Xu family is only sixteen years old and has only been learning to cook for more than half a year. If she indulges this way, in time, let alone the Luo family will be defeated by the Xu family, these time-honored brands in Hangzhou may also be affected.

It would be fine if the girl from the Xu family was justified, but President Jiang had already seen Qingxi's ambitions and knew that she would never stop at the noodle restaurant.

The colleagues in the diet had their own thoughts. In the black Buick that had just stopped by the road, Gu Huaixiu looked at Qingxi among the crowd, listened to the familiar Yue Opera songs in his memory, and smiled.
