good meal

Chapter 230

Zhu Xiucai returned the gift politely, and then greeted Mr. Zhu with a smile.

The old man Zhu couldn't laugh, but he knew he couldn't be too rude, so he pulled the corner of his mouth and grunted twice.

Seeing that he was still concerned about his face, Zhu Xiucai knew it in his mind, drank a cup of tea, and said to Zhu Yong: "It's rare to meet a bosom friend today, but today I'm going to bother you more."

"You are welcome, sir." Zhu Yong said.

Seeing that Zhu Xiucai wanted to stay longer, the old man was a little bit unhappy, and said in a muffled voice: "Our temple is too small to accommodate your big Buddha. Let's talk about He Zhiyin, sir, please come back."

"Father!" Zhu Yong looked at the old man anxiously, and then said to Zhu Xiucai with a forced smile, "Sir, don't worry, my father's words are a bit rude, but the intention is not bad."

Hearing this, the old man Zhu blushed, asking his second son to come forward to explain, this is really out of place, but he didn't like Zhu Xiucai who led his son astray, so he simply shut up and got angry stuffy.

I wish the old man stopped talking, and Zhu Xiucai started talking. I have to say that Zhu Xiucai's eloquence has indeed improved a lot, and he can be said to be eloquent.Seeing Zhu Xiucai's remarks, the old man Zhu felt a little ashamed, but then he thought, Zhu Xiucai is just a merchant, what is it?Thinking about it, the old man Zhu's back became a little stiffer.

From the corner of his eye, Zhu Xiucai saw the changes of the old man, and Zhu Xiucai changed the subject, talking about the development of the store.

Regarding the grand plan of the store, Chu Liangrao had told him, so he only needed to repeat it at this time.

Knowing that this shop is receiving noble people from the capital, even the old man Zhu couldn't help but be in awe. The noble people from the capital are beyond his reach. If his son can really deal with these people, why worry about the future?
At this point, the old man Zhu has already felt a little moved, and his expression has eased a little.

Zhu Yong, who saw the signs, continued: "Yes, father, the shopkeeper is also very powerful, and there must be nothing wrong with following him."

"Who is the shopkeeper?" Old Master Zhu couldn't help asking.

This time, Zhu Yong was stopped by the question. He didn't even know who the shopkeeper was, so how should he explain it to his father?

Fortunately, there is Zhu Xiucai here, with a calm face, he said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Our chief shopkeeper, that is a person who can be proud of the prince."

Just such a sentence alone, the old man Zhu was overwhelmed, but he did not take it lightly because of this, he asked: "You say that, how do I know who it is?"

"Our head is distinguished, so it is inconvenient to disclose it. If the old man doesn't believe it, he can go to the store to have a look. If it is an ordinary family, how can there be such a handwriting."

Hearing this, the old man was dubious, and after some tangling, he decided to go and see what kind of store it was.

Once the old man let go, Zhu Yong has full confidence, and believes that the old man will not stop him after he has seen the shop.

Accompanied by Zhu Yong and Zhu Xiucai, the old man went to visit the unopened shop on crutches. He just entered the door, and was overwhelmed by the splendid glass eight-treasure screen in front of the door. Compared with his own gold and silver wares, How expensive is such a large glazed screen?Thinking about it in his heart, the old man walked around the screen tremblingly, and then felt his eyes light up.

The carefully arranged scenery made him almost unable to close his mouth. His eyes flicked over each piece of scenery decoration. The old man who was fond of collecting felt itchy. , but the more you scratch, the more itchy.

Seeing his father's appearance, Zhu Yong knew that the old man had seen something he liked, and he said, "Father, I didn't coax you."

"Yeah." Nodding his head twice, the old man Zhu took his eyes back with great difficulty, looked at Zhu Yong, and said, "Stinky boy, don't think it's easy, if you can't make a name for yourself, See how I deal with you."

Overjoyed, Zhu Yong hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and said excitedly, "Thank you for your success!"

The boulder in his heart disappeared, and Zhu Yong was excited for a while. It was surprising that this matter could be settled so easily.Speaking of it, it was thanks to Zhu Xiucai's appearance that the old man was relieved. Thinking about it, he stood up again and saluted Zhu Xiucai gratefully.

Zhu Xiucai leaned over to avoid it and said, "You don't have to thank me, it's because the shopkeeper cherishes his talent that he let me come forward."

I heard that the big shopkeeper behind the scenes valued his son, and Mr. Zhu was a bit proud, but he didn't want to show it. Under the pressure, only the beard on his lips showed his emotions. Come.

Once the matter was over, Zhu Yong began to receive training with peace of mind, and by the way helped a few people who came with him to settle down the family.

This is enough staff, Chu Liangrao was very pleased.

Right now, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

On an auspicious day, Chu Liangrao asked someone to take out the carefully treasured plaque and hang it up, but it was covered with a layer of red cloth so that people could not see the name of the shop clearly.

On the day when the plaque was hung, Chu Liangrao deliberately went to ride a carriage to join in the fun by being passers-by.

Someone took the lead, and soon passers-by surrounded the place, and the shop has been repaired here for several months. Today, it can be regarded as a plaque. People who are curious ask what the shop is doing. .

"I heard that the clothes are made to order."

The word "custom-made" discouraged many people from patronizing. Which one of the custom-made products in Kyoto was not bought by famous people, who knows who would buy this shop.Even so, the spectators did not rush away, but became more and more curious.

Soon everyone in the streets and alleys of Kyoto knew about this new store that was about to open, and some even wanted to pick the red cloth on the plaque to learn the truth, but they were all stopped.Such a mystery whetted people's appetites, but the shopkeepers just weren't in a hurry, and it was useless for them to be in a hurry.

Seeing the bright future, Chu Liangrao was also looking forward to it.

At this time, the invitation letters to everyone have already been sent out, and I don't know how many companies will come to join in. After all, Chu Liangrao did not post the post as Princess Ning'an, so she was very confused.

But it was impossible to leave the business alone, Chu Liangrao hesitated, and decided to open on the original date.

With an idea in mind, the days became extremely slow. Several times, Chu Liangrao almost changed his mind and asked to open early, but fortunately, he calmed down in the end.

On the day when it really opened, Chu Liangrao, who was dressed in a new dress, couldn't wait to go to watch the ceremony.

Seeing her anxious appearance, Huo Tainan stopped her and had breakfast with her before going out with Chu Liangrao.Seeing that Chu Liangrao's fists were tightly clenched, Huo Tainan stretched out his hand to gently wrap her pink fist, and said, "This is a good thing, why are you so nervous?"

"Can you not be nervous?" Chu Liangrao leaned his head on Huo Tainan's shoulder and said, "You don't know how much effort I have spent on this."

"I know all about it." Huo Tainan said with his chin pressed against Chu Liangrao's forehead, "What should I do, I seem to be jealous of this store."

Hearing this, Chu Liangrao laughed, looked at him and said, "Why are you jealous?"

"My wife is so nervous about the store, can I not be jealous of my husband?"

"You also said that when I married you, I was even more nervous than now." Chu Liangrao muttered.

After getting this sentence, Huo Tainan laughed contentedly, and then made a surprised expression: "Really, why didn't I see it?"

After joking around, the tension in Chu Liangrao's heart calmed down quite a bit. She took a deep breath and said, "I hope it won't be too different from what I imagined."

The carriage drove halfway but couldn't go any further, Chu Liangrao asked the driver why, the driver only said that the front was blocked, but he couldn't see what was going on.After waiting for a while, the impatient Chu Liangrao asked again.

Huo Tainan ordered the servant girl to take out the curtain, and he put it on for Chu Liangrao himself, saying: "It's not far away, let's walk there." After that, he also put on the curtain.

"En." Chu Liangrao put his hand in his hand with confidence, and the two got out of the carriage, walked around this section of the road, and walked straight to the shop.

It was getting closer, Chu Liangrao couldn't help being puzzled, and asked, "Why are there so many cars today?"

"Are they all here to cheer?" Huo Tainan said.

"Probably not." Chu Liangrao shook his head, frowned slightly and said, "If it's blocked like this, even if no one can come, what should we do?"

"Don't worry, it will be fine." Huo Tainan comforted.

Right now, Chu Liangrao had no choice but to calm down and quietly walked to his shop with Huo Tainan.

As soon as I approached, I heard the sound of crackling firecrackers, and two lion dancers were dancing happily in the open space of the store, which looked very lively.Zhu Xiucai, on the other hand, stood in front of the store with a smile on his face and thanked every guest. After the long firecrackers were set off, the two lion dancers also stopped, and obediently stopped aside, looking up at the guests. to the plaque.

Then everyone's eyes were brought to the plaque covered by the red cloth. Under the eyes of everyone, Zhu Xiucai stretched out his hand and pulled down the red cloth covering it, revealing three large characters: Jinxiufang.

As the red cloth slowly fell, Zhu Xiucai raised his voice and said, "The grand opening of Jinxiufang! I hope you will join us."

Looking at the big golden characters on the plaque, Chu Liangrao was so excited that she couldn't help tightening her hand holding Huo Tainan. She looked at Huo Tainan and said, "What's wrong with this? Why are you getting more and more nervous?"

Huo Tainan, who was about to laugh out loud, clenched his fist and put it under his lips, "coughed", and said, "It seems that I should really be jealous."

"Don't make trouble." Chu Liangrao said mildly.

At this time, Huo Tainan's attention was attracted by the big boxes in front of the door, he thought it was Chu Liangrao's thoughts, and asked, "What is this?"

Unexpectedly, Chu Liangrao looked puzzled when he saw it: "Huh?"

Just when the two were in a fog, the leader raised his voice and said: "His Highness Fifth wishes Jinxiu Fang a prosperous business, every day makes money, and a small gift to express my heart!"
