Meal Sweet Home: Farm Lady

Chapter 126 Happy Opening of the Branch

In the era of peace and prosperity, the people's lives were considered stable and comfortable even if they were not rich, so day by day was like a stream downstream, unable to grasp or hold.

In the blink of an eye, Nan Yan's restaurant on board has been open for more than four months. Even if the weather is cold, it can't stop those foodies from tasting delicious food. The business is still booming, and the reputation in Yangzhou is getting bigger and bigger.

Most of the diners are high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and the number of regular customers is increasing, and old customers bring new customers, which makes the reputation of Shangshang Restaurant rise.

In this short period of time, Nanyan not only earned enough money to repay He Chenyi and Dai Yingyu's expenses for helping her plan the restaurant on board, but also had a surplus for herself, and the wages paid to Yanzi and Ahu were even more impressive. The two of them worked for him with satisfaction and dedication.

It's just that He Chenyi and Dai Yingyu didn't ask for the money that Nan Yan paid back for the time being, because they knew that Nan Yan and Chef Gu were planning to open a branch of a store in Yangzhou City for the common people, so they took this part The money is regarded as continued investment for Nan Yan.

Since you want it, you must do it. With the support of so many people, and Chef Gu's desperate cooperation, the branch opened naturally and soon.

The opening of the branch is naturally much more lively than the opening of the restaurant on the ship. After all, being rich is self-willed, so the ostentation will naturally become bigger.

In the days before the opening, there was an endless stream of applicants for the back kitchen and running hall. The reputation of the restaurant has spread, and I am afraid that it will not be able to recruit employees. What's more, Nanyan's salary is very good among her peers in Yangzhou. that's it.The most important thing is that she is kind and serious, so it is a good choice to work for her.

After Qi Yuhao opened and stabilized Nan Yan's boat restaurant, he went to work on his own affairs.It sounds like a busy matter, but what Nan Yan saw was that he was still indulging in debauchery, a frequent visitor to the brothel.

Chef Gu is the sole shareholder of the Nanyan branch and is also its head chef. He is basically responsible for the management of the branch.After these days, Nan Yan and Chef Gu exchanged culinary skills. Chef Gu learned Nan Yan’s recipes with unique ingredients and food health knowledge. A good experience with good kung fu and fire control in the hands of the spoon.Be teachers to each other and support each other.

With the strong alliance of these two people, naturally the future of this still restaurant will be even more prosperous and unrivaled.

Speaking of He Chenyi, he and Na Huazhu have been married for almost half a year, but the two have not had physical contact so far.He Chenyi would always use different excuses every time to evade, that Huazhu is naturally a smart person, but he didn't point it out, after all, this wealth and this handsome husband are not easy to come by.To pretend to be stupid is to use one's greater intelligence later.

Speaking of He Chenyi, Dai Yingyu must be mentioned.This young lady from a rich family is stupid in front of the person she loves deeply.Even though her beloved He Chenyi was already married, she still silently and devotedly wanted to be the follower in He Chenyi's heart who would never grow up.As long as she can see him every day, it is the greatest happiness in her life.

For the opening of the branch, it is natural that Huazhu, the second young lady, came to congratulate her.It's just that He Chenyi never brought Huazhu with him when he went out, and when Huazhu came to congratulate him, he was just accompanied by two little maids.

"My sister came here today to congratulate me on the opening of the branch. My sister, I am really happy."

Ever since Hua Zhu "married" to the He Mansion, it was rare to meet Nan Yan, so Nan Yan naturally wanted to meet and say a few polite words.

"Sister's new store is open, and I, as a sister, naturally want to come to congratulate her." She waved her hand and asked the two little maids behind her to bring the congratulatory things to the store.

"That's right, that's right. My sister is indeed talented in food. Now that the restaurant's business is getting bigger and bigger, my sister is really happy for you." Huazhu laughed again.

"No way, if it wasn't for the help of my brother-in-law and Miss Dai Yingyu, my idea of ​​opening a restaurant was just a daydream." After a few times, Nan Yan found herself calling He Chenyi "brother-in-law" in front of Hua Zhu. ", Huazhu seemed very happy, so she called out in front of her.

Who would have thought that Hua Zhu's expression changed drastically, and he roared in a dark voice: "Don't mention that dead girl from the Dai family in front of me, she's a shameless follower who follows Chen Yi all day long!"

Nan Yan was startled by this secret scolding, she didn't expect that Huazhu, who was always gentle and gentle, would be so scary when her face became gloomy.She also didn't expect Hua Zhu to be so disgusted with Dai Yingyu.

Nan Yan didn't answer, Huazhu suddenly realized that she was too rude just now, and immediately restored her original gentle and kind face, saying: "Oh, I just don't want to see this woman relying on her own money to make money all over the place. It’s nothing more than idleness during the day. Look at our little sister Yan, who earns her own living and realizes her ideals, she is much better than that Dai Yingyu.”

"Hehe...it's already noon, sister stay here for dinner, and let Chef Gu cook some special dishes for you." Nan Yan didn't answer, but changed the direction of the conversation.

Hua Zhu pretended to be mischievous and cute: "I'm going to stay for dinner today, but... I hope my sister can cook some delicious dishes for me. Ever since I left West Lake Village, I have never eaten a meal made by my sister. Well, I miss you so much."

When it came to this point, Nan Yan naturally nodded in agreement.As she said that, she invited Hua Zhu into the store to sit down, and then she went to the back kitchen to get busy.

Nanyan made some dishes that Hua Zhu loved when she was in West Lake Village, and made some newly developed dishes for Hua Zhu to taste. Hua Zhu was very satisfied and ate with great relish.Huazhu also asked the two little maids beside her to sit down and eat together. This scene made outsiders feel that the second young lady of the He family was very gentle and kind.

After eating lunch at Nan Yan's branch in a leisurely manner, Hua Zhu and Nan Yan chatted for a while before heading back home.She knew that He Chenyi would come to the shop in the afternoon, as if deliberately diverging from him, she left the shop slowly, followed by two little maids.

Just like in the past, after He Chenyi took care of his family's business, he brought Dai Yingyu to Nanyan's shop to drink tea and rest.On the surface, it seems to be relaxing, but in fact, it is to observe the lack of aspects of the store, to remind and help, so as to make the business in the store more prosperous.

When it was very late, He Chenyi would leave the shop and return to his house.This day He Chenyi finished sending Dai Yingyu home, and he returned to his residence.I thought that Huazhu had already fallen asleep, but found that the candlelight in the room was bright, and there were waves of nausea and discomfort.

Usually at this time, Huazhu has already turned off the lights and fell asleep...

At this time, three or two little maids came in and out with basins and bowls in their hands, looking very anxious.

"What's wrong with Second Young Mistress?" He Chenyi stepped forward and asked these little maids.

The little maid holding the copper basin glanced at the vomit in the basin with her small eyes, and responded with a look of disgust: "Second Young Mistress, she has been vomiting profusely since she came back from outside, and she hasn't recovered yet."

"How did this happen? Where are Meier and Caizhu?" He Chenyi asked about Huazhu's two personal maids.

"The two of them, like the Second Young Mistress, are vomiting non-stop and are resting in the wing room." A maidservant with a teapot responded.

"Oh? What's the matter? Have you checked with the doctor?" He Chenyi asked again.

"I've seen it. The doctor said it was a bad stomach and prescribed some medicine, but the second young mistress refused to take it." The servant girl replied.

"Why is that?"

"Little I don't know."

"Where did Second Young Mistress go today?"

"I heard that it was her sister who opened a new store outside the mansion, and she is the owner of the same restaurant."

Speaking of this, He Chenyi naturally knew it well.They were talking about Nan Yan, this Hua Zhu must have gone to congratulate her.

"You all go down, just leave this place to me." He Chenyi took tea from the maid, opened the door and walked in.

Na Hua Zhu was lying on the bed with a pale face and purple lips, panting.

Seeing He Chenyi, her husband, coming in, she hurriedly got up to greet her, but fell back on the bed weakly.

"Ma'am, don't get up, lie down quickly!" He Chenyi stepped forward to put the tea on the round table, and hurried over to support the slender Huazhu.

"Husband, you're back! Zhu'er, I'm not feeling well, so I can't go forward to greet you, I..." With He Chenyi's support, Hua Zhu sat up a little.

"How can there be so much etiquette between husband and wife. Your body is already like this, why don't you take the medicine?" He Chenyi asked Hua Zhu directly.

"I...I'm fine...husband, don't worry." Hua Zhu said softly.

"You've been vomiting since noon until now, and you still say you're fine?"

"This……"

"Why, do you have any secrets to hide?" He Chenyi asked.

"No, no, I don't leave the gate all day long, so why is there something unspeakable about it. Today I just went out to congratulate Yan'er, it's rare to go out."

"I was going to ask you, why did you vomit like this after you came back?"

"This……"

"Why are you so hesitant to speak, what happened?" He Chenyi obviously lost his patience, no matter how good his temper was, he couldn't stand a woman's hesitation.

Seeing the anxious expression on He Chenyi's face, Hua Zhu said softly: "At noon, I ate some dishes made by Yan'er herself. At that time, I just felt a little uncomfortable. I guess it was because of the wind blowing on the way back, and I caught a cold. .”

He Chenyi asked: "Didn't you say that you are not used to Nan Yan's cooking? I always feel that the taste is a bit strange."

This was mentioned by Huazhu shortly after marrying in the He Mansion, and He Chenyi remembered it in his heart.

Huazhu sighed softly, and said, "It's not that Yan'er is too enthusiastic and tried to keep me here for dinner!"
