After crossing, I was miserable.

Every corner is filled with laughter, children playing, adults shouting, the sound of clinking glasses in restaurants...all of which show the prosperity of this city.

Today, the street guards and the left and right patrol guards all came out to maintain public order. No one expected that four restaurants would open in four directions at the same time, and with such a grand momentum. They were afraid of any accidents.

The opening of a restaurant alone would not attract so much attention.

However, Manager Zhou continued to use the previous method of distributing flyers. Flyers for the four restaurants were distributed at the same time, and the words "eat as much as you want", "eat for free", "lottery" and so on were eye-catching and became the topic of discussion in the streets.

Especially after seeing the price, everyone was shocked.

Normally, a meal with two or three friends would cost three to five taels of silver. But this "boxed lunch" only cost half a tael per person, and you could eat as much as you wanted.

And there are 20 dishes to choose from. Everyone thinks this is free.

I became more interested in this restaurant.

So word of mouth spread and everyone was looking forward to the restaurant opening soon.

So on the opening day, almost all the people in the city flocked to the restaurant, wanting to quickly see the characteristics of the restaurant and to see if it was as stated in the flyer that they could eat whatever they wanted.

In a short while, the restaurant was packed with people.

The people in the front were shouting and selecting dishes, while the people in the kitchen were busy stirring the spoons and adding dishes. The waiters in the store were busy running around, and the waiters in the store were busy maintaining order...

Later, there was really no other way. In order not to affect the normal flow of the street, they had to put up banners outside and let some people line up outside.

Although the price of the restaurant is not as high as that of the big restaurants, the decoration is simple and clean. And with some flowers and plants, it makes people feel relaxed and happy.

On the left side of the restaurant is where the dishes are placed. There are a total of twenty dishes, which are pre-placed in grid-shaped kitchen utensils, with ten in the front and ten in the back.

Each person had a small plate with four food slots on it, and each slot was filled to the brim.

If you are not full, you can continue to eat.

There are vegetarian dishes in the front and meat dishes in the back. There are also some fried foods on the side, such as fried potatoes, fried mushrooms, fried small fish, etc.

There is also a small table next to the dishes, with free egg soup and some free refreshing pickles.

Each person can choose four dishes, but no matter what you choose, it is the same price and there is no limit on the quantity.

However, rice needs to be paid separately. But there are many kinds of rice, including white rice, brown rice, and staple foods such as steamed buns, purple potato rice, and flower rolls...

In short, both the dishes and the staple food are very rich.

Of course, it was also written on the wall in very conspicuous fonts that food waste was not allowed.

If you waste it, you will be fined double.

No one would think of waste. In this era of material scarcity, wasting food could be punishable by beheading, especially in the capital, under the feet of the emperor. People would not even dare to do it.

The second floor of the restaurant is a private room. In addition to group dining, it also hosts normal guest banquets, class reunions, etc.

Of course, this also includes private room services for the wealthy.

Now, in the private room on the second floor, Chu Yan and Lu Shaoxuan were sitting there slowly tasting the dishes.

"Tsk tsk, I have to say, although this dish looks simple, it tastes pretty good. Try this, this is sweet pot-fried pork. I didn't expect the meat to taste sweet and taste pretty good. And this, this..."

Lu Shaoxuan commented while eating.

He doesn't have the habit of not talking while eating. He's not at home, so of course he can do whatever makes him comfortable.

"Boom boom boom",

"Enter".

Shopkeeper Zhou came in with a smile on his face.

"Master, there are too many people outside. There are no extra boxes."

Chu Yan glanced at him, and Shopkeeper Zhou said boldly:

"Mr. Qian and his brother are here. We don't have a place to eat right now. I don't know if it would be convenient to put a partition in your room. I guess they won't take too long to eat."

After Shopkeeper Zhou finished speaking, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at his master. He just stood there waiting.

If it was someone else, Shopkeeper Zhou would definitely not care, but this Mr. Qian felt that he couldn't neglect him. To put it bluntly, he was also the owner of the restaurant, so it was unreasonable to let the owner sit in the lobby and eat. So he came up with a brave face.

"Are you the Mr. Qian who came up with the idea?" Lu Shaoxuan said excitedly.

So far, he has not seen Mr. Qian.

"Hurry up, bring it here. Let me take a good look at it."

Shopkeeper Zhou looked up and saw his master drinking tea with no expression on his face and no objection.

No objection means agreement, no frown means consent.

Shopkeeper Zhou hurried down to look for Mr. Qian, but he was afraid it was too late and Mr. Qian had already left.

Because Mr. Qian had taken care of the master before, but the master had left early for something, and even he didn't know where he went. He thought that this time they might have a good chat and make friends.

Shopkeeper Zhou didn't know that Chu Yan and Qian Duoduo had met some time ago, and he was eager to ease the relationship between them.

This was just an accident. The two of them did have some unpleasantness some time ago.

To be precise, Chu Yan was the only one who was unhappy. Qian Duoduo was like an old man looking at his phone, what the hell???

Shopkeeper Zhou told Qian Duoduo that it was a private room that he and Master Chu were sharing, and there was a screen in the middle, so it wouldn't have any impact.

Qian Duoduo was confused. He didn't know if he had offended Chu Yan last time, or if he had a seizure and didn't take medicine. He didn't know what the situation would be this time. He could only bite the bullet and go in.

Qian Duoduo pushed Qian Yi in front and she followed behind.

Although Qian Yi is very thin, he is a man after all, and his body structure is there, so it is not a problem for him to block the skinny Qian Duoduo.

So when the door was opened, Chu Yan and Lu Shaoxuan saw Qian Yi at first sight, but not Qian Duoduo.

Lu Shaoxuan thought Qian Yi was Qian Duoduo, and when he saw him, his eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost, and he was startled and shouted:

"Su Luoli? Why are you here? Are you Qian Duoduo?"

Su Luoli was also surprised to see Lu Shaoxuan, but she still saluted calmly.

"Master Lu, I am Qian Yi now, Qian Duoduo is my second brother."

As he spoke, he pulled Qian Duoduo's wrist with his right hand, tilted his head back, and said softly,

"Duoduo, this is the son of the Minister of War, Lu Shaoxuan. Master Lu, quickly pay your respects."

Chu Yan drank tea while watching the intimate movements of the two.

With a bang, he placed the teacup on the table and poured water into it.

Qian Duoduo confirmed again that he had not taken the medicine. It is possible that he had run out of medicine to take, and was still wondering if he should take medicine.
