Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

Chapter 405 Jinmen Store Opening

"Fan Jinyou was arrested for smuggling. Xiao Wu, is it true?"

"Auntie, it's true. Yesterday morning, the government went directly to his house to arrest the person. Many people saw it."

"No, I have to go back and see Cheng Xueru tomorrow."

Fan Jinyou was arrested for smuggling, and he deserved it. Xu Huizhen had no sympathy for him.

But when Fan Jinyou was suddenly arrested, Cheng Xueru must be the most saddened.

She and Cheng Xueru have been fighting for so many years, and they are the people who know each other best. Now that they are in-laws, she is worried that Cheng Xueru will be devastated after such a big thing happens, and she must go back and see her to feel relieved.

Xu Huizhen planned to return to the imperial capital tomorrow morning after attending the opening ceremony of her second daughter and her second son-in-law's new store.

the next day.

On November 30th, the [-]th day of the [-]th month of the lunar calendar, the Jinmen branch of Zhiweilou Restaurant was already bustling with activity early in the morning.

In order to build momentum for the opening of Jinmen Store, Xu Jingping ran advertisements in Jinmen Daily for half a month as early as half a month ago.

On the opening day, dragon and lion dance teams, opera troupes, acrobatic troupes, cross talk troupes, etc. were all invited to the opening of Jinmen Store.

Early in the morning, the huge parking lot in front of Jinmen Gate was crowded with people watching the show.

General Manager Luo Jiangjing and General Manager Liang of Jinmen Store personally guest-hosted and gave away a large number of discount coupons to those watching the show.

Xu Jingping, the chairman of the hotel, also went on stage to say a few words and sang a song called "Shepherd's Song" from "Shaolin Temple", which won waves of applause and cheers.

Yang Yukun and others stood under the stage and applauded along with the crowd of spectators.

After finishing the song, Xu Jingping said a few more words, then handed the stage to Luo Jiangjing and Manager Liang, jumped off the stage and walked towards Yang Yukun and his group.

Meng Xiaozao said: "Sister Jingping, you sing so well."

"Thank you."

Yang Yukun smiled and said: "Daughter-in-law, brothers and sisters, let's go have breakfast first."

"Row."

"Brother Xiao Wu, Brother Jian, Brother Tu, Xiao Zao, this way."

Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping brought Han Chunming and others to the Tan's Restaurant. The father-in-law, mother-in-law, the master, and the pregnant Meng Xiaoxing were all here.

Then the group entered the private room, and Yang Yukun went to arrange for the kitchen to serve food.

If it were in the imperial capital, no matter what happened when a new store opened, it would be necessary to arrange for neighbors to come and have a meal at the store.

We are in Jinmen now, and they are the only ones opening today.

Although it was at Tan's Restaurant, two of the eight major cuisines and Tan's Restaurant's signature dishes were served.

"We have to drive back later, Xiaokun, Jingping, let's have tea instead of wine, let's have one."

"Alright, let's go."

"Dad, Mom, Master... everyone use chopsticks. These are our signature dishes in Jinmen. Try them. How do they taste?"

"good to eat."

“It’s no worse than your Wangfujing store, very authentic.”

"And this Tan's cuisine is comparable to your front store."

"With this dish, this taste, and this scale, it's hard for you to run a good business."

After breakfast, it was almost dinner time, and customers started to be served one after another.

After advertising for half a month and holding such a big event today for the opening, the number of customers who came to eat in the restaurant far exceeded Yang Yukun's previous expectations.

All the eight major cuisine halls were full. The service staff in the store were so busy that the kitchen had no time to prepare the dishes.

The reason why Tan's cuisine requires advance reservation is that it is not as crowded as the other eight major cuisine restaurants, but there are not many people who come to reserve the dishes.

It is foreseeable that starting from tomorrow, Tan's Restaurant will be as busy as the other eight major cuisine restaurants.

…………

After attending the opening ceremony of Zhiweilou Restaurant Jinmen Branch, Han Chunming and his party were preparing to return to the imperial capital.

Originally, the father-in-law, the mother-in-law, and the others planned to stay in Jinmen for a while, but after Fan Jinyou's incident happened, the mother-in-law planned to go back to see Cheng Xueru, and the two of them would return to the imperial capital with Han Chunming and the others.

The master was not in a hurry to go back. He finally came to Jinmen and planned to spend a few more days in Jinmen.

When he and Xu Jingping return to the imperial capital in a few days, the master will go back with them.

"Master Hou, Xiaokun, Jingping, we will withdraw first."

"Brother Jian, Brother Tu, you two drive slowly and pay attention to safety."

"Don't worry, brother knows."

"Dad, Mom, when you get home, remember to call me and Xiaokun." "Okay, I'll call you two when I get home."

"Comrade Yang Huajian, let's drive, target [-] cities, move forward."

"Got it."

Yang Huajian started the car, Mao Tutu drove the jeep to follow, and the group went straight to the imperial capital.

After watching their father-in-law and mother-in-law leave, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping went to the office area at Jinmen Branch and stayed in the office for a while.

The master said he wanted to go out for a walk, and then Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping didn't see the master again throughout the afternoon, and they didn't know where the old man went for a walk.

It was not until 08:30 in the evening that Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping left the store and returned to their small courtyard in Jinmen.

The first day the Jinmen store opened, the results were very gratifying, and the turnover exceeded the first day the Wangfujing store opened.

As long as there are no big problems in the future, the business of Jinmen Store will not be bad.

"Where did the master go? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

"I haven't seen this old man all afternoon. Who knows where he went?"

"Why don't you go look for it? It's so late and it's so cold. I'm worried something might happen to the master."

"Daughter-in-law, don't worry. The master is not a child. He has been in the world for decades and nothing will happen to him. He might be back soon."

"Well, it's really cold. It's probably going to snow again today."

"Let's warm ourselves up first. Come on, let's soak your feet in hot water."

Yang Yukun picked up the thermos and poured a basin of water for Xu Jingping. He asked her to soak her feet first, then filled a kettle with water and put it on the coal stove to burn.

At this time, Yang Yukun heard someone pushing the door open and entering the courtyard, followed by a burst of voices.

"It's so cold today."

"Master, you are back."

"came back."

"Where have you gone?"

“I met a friend I hadn’t seen in more than a year and had a couple of drinks together.”

"Do you have any friends in Jinmen?"

"That's right, I have made friends all over the world as a teacher. I have friends no matter where I go."

"No one in the world knows you, right?"

"You're right. I'm going back to the house first. You two should rest early."

"Row."

"It's so cold today, it's probably going to snow."

“If it’s going to snow, let it snow.”

Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping washed up and returned to the house.

The next morning, Yang Yukun opened the door and found that there was a layer of snow in the yard, and snowflakes were still falling in the sky.

He didn't know exactly when it started to rain at night. Based on the thickness of the snow in the courtyard and the density of snowflakes in the sky, he estimated that it started to rain at two or three in the morning.

"It's really snowing, no wonder it's so cold."

Xu Jingping walked out of the room and took a breath of hot breath into his palms.

"Daughter-in-law, wear more clothes, don't catch a cold."

"I added a cashmere sweater underneath, which is very warm."

When she got up just now, Xu Jingping felt that today's temperature was indeed colder than yesterday, so she put on the cashmere sweater Yang Yukun bought for her before. It was very warm.

"Xiao Kun, what are you doing?"

"Move your body."

"You are not cold."

"You don't know my physical fitness yet, I'm very good at it."

Yang Yukun took off his clothes, did an elegant side flip with his bare upper body and came to the courtyard, and started playing ancient Zhuang boxing in the snow.

The snowflakes fell on him, giving him a unique mood.

Seeing this, Xu Jingping quickly ran into the house, took out his camera, and took pictures of Yang Yukun who was boxing in the snow.
