Chapter 292 Bamboo Rhyme Studio Opens
After the doctor examined the injuries and left, Gu Yunyi collapsed into a chair. He was utterly exhausted after the day.

Madam He knew that her younger brother was doing it for her son's own good, but she still felt sorry for him and quickly said, "Why don't you have someone help you to the backyard to rest?"

Gu Yunyi shook his head: "Let's not. I'm afraid I'll scare Zhizhi. I'll just sit for a while. It'll be time to eat soon."

"Fine!"

Seeing his insistence, the He family and others did not press him further.

After Zhizhi and Ruirui fell asleep, Xu Qingmeng sat down to keep him company, and then talked to him about the events at Zhuyunzhai on the 20th of the first lunar month.

Manager Lin hadn't left yet, and he happened to repeat to Gu Yunyi the matter of Young Master Lin ordering a table.

"My wife's cooking is excellent. I expect that once we open, we'll have a lot of customers who come from nowhere."

"What are we going to say in front of Manager Lin?"

"What the boss said is true. Boss, I have other things to do at the shop, so I'll be leaving now."

"Okay!"

After Manager Lin left, the Gu family prepared to eat.

Normally, it would be later, but today, because of Gu Yunyi's health, they ate earlier.

After he finished eating, we let him go home and rest, since we had to leave early the next morning.

Xu Qingmeng was busy feeding Zhizhi and Ruirui, and when she finished, she saw that Gu Yunyi had already fallen asleep.

The next morning, Gu Yunyi left early as usual. Xu Qingmeng only opened her eyes and glanced at him before falling back asleep.

Fortunately, Gu Yunyi returned before the city gates closed today, and he wasn't in such a sorry state.

The next day was the opening day of Zhuyunzhai. There was no marketing at all; they simply set off a string of firecrackers.

However, because this alley was not as lively as the street where the Gu family lived, it was relatively quiet. So even though they only set off a string of firecrackers, it attracted a lot of people from the surrounding area to watch.

Of course, it was mainly the residents of the surrounding residential areas who came up to ask, and that's how they found out that it was a place that sold food.

Seeing that the guests had not yet arrived and it was still early, and that many people were interested, Manager Lin asked Lin Lei to bring out the pastries made by Xin Ting, and asked him to explain in detail the dishes of Zhu Yun Zhai and the reservation method.

The dishes at Zhuyunzhai are indeed expensive, but the ingredients used are also of very high quality. Even the pastries they serve are exquisite ones that have never been seen in the city, a level above those at Jinxiuxuan.

However, the high price deterred many people, but a few were tempted and wanted to go in and try it.

"Do you have any seats left? We'd like to reserve a table for a few of us?"

Lin Lei said with a smile, "Of course we do, but everything is made to order, so it takes some time. Would you like to eat it for lunch or dinner?"

"It's noon, we should be able to make it in time!"

"It's not too late! It's not too late!"

Since they were all residents living nearby, they didn't wait here; they would come back around noon.

Around noon, as the sun rose higher, the other two tables of guests at Zhuyunzhai also arrived.

On one side were guests invited by Qiao Mingyu, and on the other side were Young Master Lin and his gang of young masters.

"It's you?" Qiao Mingyu asked upon seeing the newcomer. Lin Yuchen crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow: "This Zhuyun isn't owned by your Qiao family, why can't I come?"

Qiao Mingyu snorted coldly, turned his head and ignored him, leading his men into Zhuyunzhai first. Lin Yuchen was not to be outdone and followed closely behind.

Zhuyunzhai doesn't have a main hall, only private rooms, but each room is very spacious, making full use of the courtyard. Although it's not very big, each room is carefully decorated.

"Manager Lin, this courtyard is beautifully decorated!"

"It's all the boss's idea!"

Today, Zhuyunzhai has three tables of guests. Manager Lin booked two large private rooms and one smaller one.

Manager Lin had been the manager of Chunhe Restaurant for many years, so Qiao Mingyu was naturally familiar with him. After all, he had wanted to poach Manager Lin for a long time, but unexpectedly, Xu Qingmeng had poached him instead.

Qiao Mingyu's group hasn't all arrived yet; they said there are still two people missing, and asked Manager Lin to make sure they receive them later.

Manager Lin quickly agreed, led the people to the private room, served a pot of tea, and then went to the kitchen.

Xu Qingmeng was preparing food in the kitchen at this moment, with Xinting and Aunt Rong helping her. There was also Granny Li, who was hired by Manager Lin as a handyman after he took over.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is the signature dish of Zhuyunzhai, so this is indispensable.

Xu Qingmeng had already had all the ingredients soaked yesterday. Since two tables had made reservations in advance, the stew had already been started early this morning.

The rest of the meal was booked at the last minute, but luckily we had plenty of ingredients prepared yesterday.

The overpowering aroma, even through the clay pot, made everyone in the kitchen itch with anticipation; however, since the kitchen was quite far away, those outside didn't notice it.

The remaining dishes were almost exactly what was ordered before. In the end, Xu Qingmeng added two more stir-fried vegetable dishes, since they were essential to cut through the richness of the food.

In addition, there are pickled pepper chicken feet and tiger skin chicken feet made by Xu Qingmeng, as well as crisp radish peel and appetizing spicy cabbage.

As for staple food, rice, noodles, or steamed buns are all acceptable, depending on the customer's choice.

In addition to white rice, there is also mixed fried rice, and the noodles are fish soup noodles and beef noodles.

These noodles are all made and pulled fresh by Xu Qingmeng. The dough has already rested, so if someone orders dough, it can be pulled right away.

However, Xu Qingmeng still recommends white rice, since there is Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Xinting and Aunt Rong had already prepared everything, but Xu Qing wanted to get started, so the two of them didn't give her a chance at all.

After all the ingredients were prepared, Manager Lin informed the customers that they had arrived, and only then did Xu Qingmeng begin cooking.

The dishes on all three tables were the same; they ordered every dish on the menu.

Xu Qingmeng used two pots together; the pots were quite large, and one pot could easily serve three portions of food.

Serving three portions together won't affect the taste or flavor, but serving more than that will have some impact.

The way Xu Qingmeng effortlessly picked up the spoon was completely out of character for her.

Xu Xinting watched from the side, learning and taking notes at the same time, while Xu Qingmeng would occasionally give her some pointers.

Aunt Rong was doing odd jobs on the side. Although she didn't give Xin Ting the same special instruction, she didn't deliberately hide anything from her either. As long as she wasn't stupid, she could still learn something from the opportunity.

After waiting for Xu Qingmeng's two dishes to be cooked, I calculated the time and it was basically time to serve them along with the side dishes.
