Chapter 201 As always
When the words "Xianweilou" appeared in everyone's eyes, they heard the sound of gongs and drums behind them. Lu Jiaming and his father and brother came forward to congratulate:

"Brother, congratulations to brother Chen and younger sister for the grand opening of the Xianwei Restaurant, with the wind, water, and success!"

Gu Chen hurriedly returned the gift, but before he could talk in detail, he saw the scholars, country gentry and businessmen waiting on the left and right, came forward to congratulate him one after another, and took the opportunity to chat with Mao Wenxuan.

At this moment, Mao Wenxuan was the busiest person, watching the left group of people come to pay their respects, before retreating, another group of people rushed over and chatted up with him.

Our Lord Mao also encountered such a scene for the first time.When he was in the capital, he was only a seventh-rank official in the Qingshui Yamen, and in a capital full of dignitaries, he was not worth mentioning at all.

Even if it was the day when Laituhe took office, even if he was accompanied by officials and gentry, it was always on point, not as enthusiastic as today.

No one expected that so many people would come to celebrate the opening today, and the shopkeeper Li and the brothers from the Gu family couldn't entertain them.

Fortunately, Gu Chen reacted quickly, and hurriedly called a few familiar people over to help entertain him.

Lu Jiaming came forward to help with winking eyes, seeing the Lu family's father and son who were mainly anti-clients, some acquaintances came to ask.Only then did Master Lu vaguely reveal the relationship between his second son and Gu Chen.

"At this time, we can no longer treat ourselves as guests." "That is, that is!"

Everyone came to congratulate, looking at Mr. Mao's face, and didn't have much thought about the dishes of "Xianweilou".

But when the dishes were served, everyone was full of praise after tasting them. The three words "Xianweilou" really lived up to their reputation.

The name of "Xianwei Building" spread all of a sudden.The first ones came here to make friends with the county magistrate, but the later ones were all for the delicious food of "Xianweilou".

Fortunately, Su Jin had the foresight to ask Chen Wang and his wife to help in advance!He also prepared five more simple dishes for Mrs. Wang.Otherwise, even if Master Xing and his apprentices grow two more hands, they will be exhausted.

At the end of the day, after seeing off the last congratulatory guests, Gu Chen felt more tired than anything else.He gritted his teeth secretly in his heart, his cousin was too much, he stayed here for less than a quarter of an hour, and ran away under the pretext of having something to do with the yamen, leaving him to accompany the whole journey.

Fortunately, today, the Lu family's father and son have helped him a lot, and have done a lot of things for him.Otherwise, he, a pure scholar, would really be overwhelmed.

On the second watch, Gu Chen returned home exhausted.The moment I saw my daughter-in-law, I complained aggrievedly. "My cousin is too rude, so he ran away when he looked bad, leaving me to fight alone."

After letting the tea recede, Su Jin pulled Young Master Gu into the space, peeled it off and pushed it into the water.

"On the first day of opening, what we need is popularity. It is such a hot scene today. Our restaurant must have fired its first shot in Tuhe. This is a good sign. Others want to ask for it, but they can't get it! You still complain, it's really good One does not know happiness in happiness."

Hearing what my daughter-in-law said, Gu Chen analyzed it, isn't it. "My daughter-in-law is right. I'm a fool to study for my husband, but I'm not as thoughtful as my daughter-in-law."

"If you know what you're wrong, you can correct it, and the good is great!"

Looking at the smiling daughter-in-law, someone was a little distracted.Su Jin ignored him, turned around and harvested the ripe vegetables, dried them to dry, and planted new seeds.

The next morning, Mrs. Xu came to the door with a happy face, looking at her belly, Su Jin broke into a cold sweat for her.

"Cousin, what's the matter, you can just send someone to come, why do you have to come by yourself. You are in a scary state now, do you know it?"

"I know, but I'm happy. Jin'er, do you know that we made a net profit of 200 taels on the first day we opened yesterday. Although it won't be as much as yesterday, it won't be too bad. Dozens of taels a day There should be. Thinking about it, I can't sit still, and I really want to come and chatter with you for a while."

"Cousin, you can be as happy as you want, but you have to think about it, how many months has your belly been?"

"As soon as I'm happy, I don't hold back. Next time, just listen to my younger siblings."

"I really admire you. From the moment I knew I was pregnant, Da Lang didn't allow me to go out. Unless I was accompanied by him, I couldn't even think about going out."

"Your brother and sister are still able to live, I also wonder, how do you live every day?"

"It's okay! Walk around in the yard, look at this, look at that, the day is over."

Xu felt that the life of this younger brother and sister was too monotonous.

Entering October, the first light snow (light snow) fell. On the sixth day of October, Taoxian Town sent a happy news that Mrs. Zhang gave birth to a fat boy weighing more than six catties.At that time, the father and son of the Su family were so happy that they couldn't find the north. This generation finally broke the fate of the Su family for several generations.

Su Hao came back from school, and when he heard the news, he looked at Su Jin anxiously.

"Hao'er, what's the matter?"

"Second sister, grandpa, grandma and dad, don't they care about me as much as before?" Su Hao was silent for a while before speaking.

"How come, even if Erniang has ten children, grandpa, grandma and daddy will still treat you as well as before."

"really?"

"Of course it's true. It's just that the little one is just born and needs more care from the family."

"Second Sister, what should I do to him?" Su Hao asked Su Jin in distress.

"He is our younger brother. If we treat him well, Erniang will teach him to treat us well."

"Second sister...me!"

"Hao'er, you are the eldest son and grandson of the Su family. Grandparents, grandparents and father will definitely pin all the hopes of the Su family on you."

"Second sister, what should I do if I don't pass the exam? Will they... be disappointed and dislike me."

"How come? Look at our father who has been a scholar for half his life. Do grandparents like him?"

"But, I'm afraid I'll disappoint them!"

"As long as you work hard, no matter whether you pass the exam or not, I believe that the family will treat you as well as ever."
