Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

He has now settled down with his friends, and with the help of Lu Ke'er, he has successfully registered his household registration. But the experience of being a refugee is something he will never forget. He knows how difficult it is for refugees to find work and survive in a place.

"Of course." Lu Ke'er was pleased that he thought of the people in need of help and said, "Since I have handed this matter over to you, you have a certain right to choose. However, whether they are refugees or residents, I hope that the workers can abide by our rules, work hard, not cut corners, not use inferior materials, and not be lazy."

"Don't worry, young lady. I will select the right people, arrange the materials, and build the villa. But, young lady, building a villa is very expensive. I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it without thousands of taels of silver."

Shi Chenxing was worried about whether Lu Keer could have enough financial support.

"Don't worry. I'll take care of the money, just focus on your business." Lu Ke'er had already made plans. She hadn't used the box of gold leaves Gao Yutang had given her yet. At worst, she could just advance the monthly income from Rong Zhixing.

At the same time, Rongzhixing’s Pinxianlou in Xilin County was successfully opened amid intensive preparations.

On the opening day, Pinxianlou offered a half-price discount for all dishes. Qin Fang hired a group of beggars to help post advertisements in the streets a few days in advance. The four large characters "half-price discount" on the advertisement were very eye-catching. He also followed Ke'er's advice and asked the beggars to shout along the street: "On November 15, Pinxianlou will open grandly! On that day, all dishes will be half-price! Pickled fish, fried snails, spicy hot pot, and all kinds of braised dishes are available for you to taste! The delicious taste on the tip of your tongue should not be missed!"

In just a few days, residents of Xilin County have heard about the opening of Pinxianlou. Everyone is looking forward to it and making appointments to go to Pinxianlou to taste the fresh food on November 15th.

The day of November 15th finally arrived.

As one of the owners of Pinxianlou, Lu Ke'er drove a horse-drawn carriage from Lingxia Village early in the morning.

Like Weixiangyuan, Pinxianlou is located on Xihe Street, the most prosperous street in Xilin County, only a dozen feet away from Weixiangyuan.

When Lu Ke'er and Ye Feng arrived, the Pinxian Building was decorated with lights and full of laughter. Qin Fang invited the famous lion dance team from the prefecture to add to the fun. Two golden lions jumped and played in front of the Pinxian Building, drawing cheers from the onlookers.

The sound of firecrackers rang out, and Qin Fang, as the shopkeeper, stood in front of the door, bowing to welcome the diners who came to taste the food. On the wall behind him hung a striking sign with a line of big black ink characters on it: "Half-price discount today", and the precautions were written in slightly smaller characters below.

Several handsome young men in uniform waiter uniforms were smiling as they came and went, welcoming guests into the restaurant.

"Welcome, welcome, please come in!"

"Sir, there are private rooms upstairs where you can dine together."

"You don't like spicy food, do you? I would like to recommend some lighter dishes for you. They are also the signature dishes of our restaurant."

A customer asked, "Is your restaurant really offering a 50% discount on all dishes today?"

The waiter nodded and replied, "Don't worry, dear customer. Honesty is our top priority and we never cheat anyone. However, please read the instructions on the wall next to the door carefully for specific precautions when using discounts."

"Oh, what if someone can't read?"

"That's fine. If you want to know what's on the sign, there's someone in front of it to read it for you."

It's not even lunchtime yet, but Pinxianlou is already packed.

There were still many guests who wanted to go in for dinner. At this time, the waiter began to issue number plates to the guests who had just arrived but had not yet been seated.

"What is this?" asked the customer who got the sign. He was holding a small bamboo sign with numbers written on it.

"If the customer is willing to wait, this is the number plate. It will be issued in order. When the numbers are called later, our restaurant will also call the numbers in order. If a customer finishes eating later and his table is vacant, you can go in and eat if it is the number on your plate."

"Oh, this is interesting." The guest became interested.

"If you are not in a hurry, you may sit on the chair in front of the door and wait."

The guests then discovered that there was a long row of bamboo chairs in front of the restaurant, and many people were already sitting on them waiting patiently.

For the half-price discount, many customers chose to wait.

Soon, the guest came out burping after finishing his meal, and the person waiting asked anxiously, "Brother, how is it? Is the food delicious?"

"Delicious, delicious! Alas, it's a pity that I only have one stomach, otherwise I would definitely eat all the dishes."

"Is it really half price?" someone doubted.

"It's indeed half price. I ordered three dishes and it only cost half of what I normally would."

Word of mouth spread, and more and more customers came to Pinxianlou to dine.

The waiters are so tired from running that their legs are tired, and the cashier is so tired from collecting the cash.

Everyone in Weixiang Garden was so moved by what they saw that their eyes turned red.

"I'm so pissed off!" Jia Wangcai stood in the almost empty hall of Weixiang Garden and roared at Manager Hu, "Old Hu, how do you manage the restaurant? Look, there are only a few people."

Shopkeeper Hu frowned, "Sir, this can't be entirely my fault. Pinxianlou is really cunning. They came up with the bad idea of ​​offering a 50% discount on the opening day, which attracted many customers to that place."

Jia Wangcai was so angry that his teeth itched: "Two years ago, Qin Fang also wanted to open Pinxianlou in Xilin County, but he was driven out by our Jia family. He lost both his wife and his army! Two years have passed, and he has forgotten the pain! He dares to compete with my Jia family for business! Humph, if I can drive them away once, I can drive him away a second time!"

Shopkeeper Hu still frowned: "Sir, the current county magistrate is Fang Xingzheng. He doesn't give our family any respect at all and won't respond to any persuasion."

"Fang Xingzheng is relying on the fact that he is a disciple of the Yu family in the capital, so he dares not take my Jia family seriously. However, when His Royal Highness Prince Chen... humph! He will be in trouble!" Jia Wangcai still didn't dare to say it bluntly.

News came from the capital that His Majesty had issued three imperial edicts to urge Prince Chen to come to the capital to meet the emperor. Prince Chen was now feigning illness and was afraid that he knew that this trip would be dangerous.

The Zhenguogong Mansion in the capital is no longer as powerful as it used to be. The court has gradually split into three factions: the Prince's faction, the Chen Wang faction, and the neutral faction. Now that the Prince's faction is becoming more and more powerful, the Chen Wang faction has begun to be excluded and suppressed.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo had just sent a message not long ago, asking his father to keep a low profile in everything.

However, he couldn't stand Pinxianlou's tone.

Although it was said that Pinxianlou had a backing force in the capital, Xilin County had always been the territory of the Jia family. If a merchant wanted to compete with the Jia family, it would have to be prepared to be beaten to a pulp.

Jia Wangcai rolled his eyes and asked, "Is it true that all dishes at Pinxianlou are 50% off today?"

Shopkeeper Hu nodded: "I have asked around. It is indeed true."

"Haha! Great! Let's go, call all of us together and go to Pinxianlou! Today, I'm going to give them a warning and make them suffer so badly!"

Shopkeeper Hu was very anxious: "Sir, the master has specifically instructed us that Fang Xing is keeping a close eye on our mansion, so don't let him catch us by the hairpin."

Jia Wangcai glared at him and said, "Do you think I'm a fool? Don't worry, I won't fight with force. Let's fight with words. Even Fang Xingzheng can't find any fault with me!"
