Wen Yan kept Zhao Laowu in suspense for several days until he took out a cookbook that was said to be passed down from his ancestors and gave it to Wen Yan. Then Wen Yan pretended to be reluctant and allowed him to study with Niu Lao Da.

January passed in the blink of an eye, and when spring came and flowers bloomed, Jinyu Tower opened its doors.

Everyone knows that there used to be an inn here, but now it has been converted into a restaurant. If you ask why so many people are paying attention to a new restaurant, it must be because Madam Wen was not in the city when she sued the Wan family.

This is Madam Wen who caused so much trouble back then!

Some people admire a widow for being able to open a restaurant, while others look down on her, thinking, how can a widow run one?

Therefore, on the opening day, Jinyulou was unprecedentedly lively.

This slightly remote street was surrounded by people.

The sound of firecrackers, children's noises of playing and adults' chatting while watching the fun mixed together, adding a grand atmosphere.

Yue Xueshun handed a piece of red silk to Wen Yan, pointed at the plaque above his head, and said impatiently: "Shopkeeper Wen, it's time to unveil our plaque!"

Wen Yan smiled and held it with him, "Together!"

The two of them worked together to reveal a huge plaque, "A House Full of Gold and Jade"!

Wen Yan smiled and said, "Jinyulou opens today. For the first three days, all dishes are 20% off! If you spend more than one tael of silver, you can get a free portion of the chef's homemade dish, 'Yellow Jade'!"

"it is good!"

Many people were very curious about Wen Yan's restaurant. What exactly is yellow jadeite? What dishes can be associated with yellow jadeite? Whether they were curious or wanted to find out, everyone who could afford the money went in to take a look.

The few people who received Wen Yan's invitation were all invited to the private room upstairs.

Old Master Yue was very considerate. Although he was still a little ill, he still wore warm clothes and brought his two sons to show his support. He also gave them a golden spatula to keep the store going.

The waiter served us attentively, bringing us a few thin wooden boards. The boards were polished very smoothly, and the appetizers and drinks were divided and displayed one by one. "Please take a look, everyone. What do you need?"

As soon as he got the menu, Mr. Yue was more and more surprised the more he looked at it, "This board is really convenient."

"Yeah," Yue Xu, the boss of Yue, looked for a long time, picked a few dishes, and suddenly asked in confusion, "I can guess the others, but I have never heard of this three-ring sun and moon set. Let's try it."

Yue Lao Er ordered two dishes and pointed to the first row of drinks and said, "I've heard of the rest of the drinks, why does your most expensive wine have such a common name?"

The waiter looked at the word "Qingniang" he pointed at and said with a smile: "This wine is brewed by my boss himself, but he hasn't thought of a name yet. Our boss said that if anyone can come up with a good name, he will give a pot of good wine as a gift."

Yue Laoer found it very interesting, so he ordered a pot to taste it.

As the dishes came up one by one, Yue Xu looked at the plate of winter melon in front of him, opened it and smiled: "It turns out that this three-ring sun and moon is made by putting chicken, duck and other vegetables in a ring and putting them in a bowl made of winter melon. This is very ordinary, and it just looks good."

As he said that, he took the first chopstick.

The delicious aroma that hit him made Yue Xu shut up instantly. He didn't say anything, but picked up another piece with chopsticks. It was so tender. The chicken was not dry or fishy at all, and it melted in his mouth!

One chopstick after another, I can't stop.

On the other side, the sake ordered by Yue Wenhui also arrived.

After pouring it into the cup, it was just ordinary sake, nothing special. He picked it up and sniffed it, the taste was elegant and delicate.

Yue Wenhui began to look forward to it. He took a sip and found it smooth, soft yet full-bodied, mellow and full-flavored. In the second half, the aftertaste was obvious.

How could anyone make such a pure and rich wine!

Yue Wenhui poured another glass. Even though he had tasted many kinds of wine, he couldn't come up with a suitable name at this moment.

At the dinner table, the two sons' behavior gradually became crazy.

Old Master Yue looked at his useless son in front of him with disdain. Isn’t it just food and wine?

After he took the first bite, the disdain on his face gradually turned into shock, and then he rolled up his sleeves and quickly put the food into his mouth. He didn't even have time to speak, he just chewed and swallowed.

The Yue family members ate until their bellies were full, and when they left, Wen Yan gave them a jar of "yellow jadeite". When they opened it, they found that it was actually pickled cabbage.

But now, everyone who has eaten at Jinyulou is convinced that this is yellow jadeite!

Anything produced by Jinyulou must be of the highest quality!

Within a day, the reputation of Wen Yan's restaurant spread completely, and everyone who came out of here praised the food and drinks here.

Yue Xueshun's face became stiff from laughing, but he still couldn't close his mouth. When the inn first opened, it had never been so lively!

By the evening, almost all the dishes were sold out!

"Sister Wen, do you know how much we earned today?" Yue Xushun raised eight fingers, "After deducting the cost, the net profit is five hundred taels!!"

Before, his small inn couldn’t earn that much in a year!

Wen Yan couldn't help but smile. With a stable income, she could finally settle down. "There were many people on the first day, so we made a lot of money. But after a few days, it will slowly go down."

“That’s a lot!”

The two chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was cheerful. But the Kezuiju across the street was not so happy.

Originally, Kezui Ju was one of the best restaurants in Xiahe Town and the leading industry of the Wan family, with daily revenue of at least 50 taels, if not 100 taels.

Unexpectedly, on the first day the restaurant opposite opened, all of their customers were snatched away, and the number of people coming in to eat in the whole day did not exceed thirty.

I came here because I didn't get to eat at the restaurant across the street.

Listening to the report from Kezuiju's shopkeeper Qian, Old Lady Wan couldn't help but smash the teacup, "Why hasn't that bitch Wen Yan died yet? She only knows how to cause trouble for my Wan family!"

Wan Liangzhe has been very proud of himself since he became the county magistrate. He took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Mother, why are you angry with them? After a few days, the prince from the capital will forget about them. Aren't we going to do whatever we want with him in the future?"

"A few days later?" Old Lady Wan glanced at him, "Isn't the Jingtai Academy you took over also suppressed by their Xiuyuan Academy?"

Wan Liangzhe felt ashamed and retorted stubbornly: "This is the county magistrate's place. At first, I thought I couldn't make it in the government office, but I didn't expect the county magistrate to think so highly of me and let me manage Jingtai Academy. He must be on my side. At worst, I can find someone to make a scene, and the county magistrate will definitely help me."

Manager Qian couldn't help but say, "Jinyulou opened today, and Magistrate Ma also went there. It is said that he praised Jinyulou highly after he came back. People from the Yue Family and Zhongjing Hall also went to show their support."

Old Madam Wan was even more angry, "This Wen Yan did it on purpose, she had to go against me!"

Wan Liangzhe stood up, brushed his sleeves, and said soothingly: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me! I will definitely make Wen Yan close down within a month!"
