Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 357 Restaurant Opening

Gu Tingye nodded when he heard this. Since Li An said that, it must not be an important matter.

After a moment of silence, Gu Tingye said, "My stepmother is planning to let me marry the eldest girl of the Yu family. I couldn't understand her intention for a while."

"what?"

Li An was stunned when he heard this. In the original play, wasn't it that after Gu Tingye failed the examination, he came to ask for marriage in order for Mannia to enter the Gu family? After hearing Wei Xingshou's praise of Miss Yu, he felt that Miss Yu could accept Mannia.

Why would Xiao Qin want Gu Tingye to marry Yu Yanran now?

"I can't figure this out in a short time. Now that the school is here, I'll think about it carefully. Let's talk about it later," Li An said.

"Yeah." Gu Tingye nodded.

In fact, he didn't expect to get any answers from Li An.

It was only because I was confused that I tried to ask.

……

They disdain to marry a lord in order to avoid the reputation of clinging to the powerful.

Even though Wu Xun was noble, those civil servants who had been serving for generations looked down upon Wu Xun's family at all.

……

As for those women, ask someone to teach them etiquette.

Time flies, and months pass in the blink of an eye.

After all, no matter where you look at it, Yu Yanran has no problem matching Gu Tingye.

Only the Sheng family, whose family background is not high, is keen on marrying their girls into noble families.

If nothing else, let's take the Hai family as an example. With the Hai family's family background, the legitimate daughter can be worthy of even the princes and nobles.

Xiao Qin's decision to ask Gu Tingye to marry Yu Yanran did make him a little confused.

But this matter doesn't bother him yet. What bothers Ang Lee is that there are more and more variables now, and his advantages are getting less and less.

During class, Li An was a little absent-minded.

On the one hand, it's because of Sheng Changbai, and on the other hand, it's because of the noble nature of the scholar.

When Li An had time, he taught the male servants how to cook. Those with high talents would be the cooks, while those with low talents would be the assistant cooks.

During this period, besides studying, Li An has been busy with the restaurant.

But in the end, this incident didn't have much impact, so it didn't matter.

Even for Gu Tingye, marrying Yu Yanran was more advantageous than marrying the legitimate daughter of some prince's family.

According to Li An's instructions, Li Ping bought many servants, rented several houses not far from Li An's house, and settled these people.

However, as the most prosperous commercial street in Bianjing, Nanmen Street is very expensive, and it is difficult to rent shops.

But it happened that the Hai family married their daughter to Sheng Changbai.

Gu Tingye can marry Yu Yanran, and the benefits can be imagined.

Li Ping was not idle either. After searching for a long time in the inner city, he found a suitable place on Nanmen Street.

It was possible to win it down thanks to Gu Tingye.

Li An approached Gu Tingye before, just to ask Gu Tingye to become a shareholder.

There are many powerful people in Bianjing, and the restaurant he wants to open is not for ordinary people.

After the restaurant opened, what they were most afraid of was the trouble caused by the powerful children.

The dignitaries in Bianjing are all shameless, so there is no need to worry.

The trouble is those playboys. Li An has no background. Once those playboys make trouble in the restaurant, he can't handle it at all.

With Gu Tingye's shareholding, this can be avoided.

After all, Gu Tingye is the most famous dandy in Bianjing. He is still very famous among those dandy boys. No one will deny him face.

After several months of preparation, the restaurant officially opened in early September.

On the opening day, Gu Tingye invited many of the Lord's children from Bianjing to come for dinner.

Firstly, it is to attract customers for the restaurant, and secondly, it is also through the mouths of these people to spread the news about the restaurant and him.

These sons of lords came as agreed, and Gu Tingye and Li An personally greeted them at the door.

When these dandies entered the restaurant, they were stunned when they saw the maids wearing cheongsams.

"Zhong Huai, you are not running a brothel, are you?" A son of a marquis looked at Gu Tingye with a strange expression and said.

These cheongsams were made by Ang Lee. Of course, it was a restaurant after all, not a brothel. The slits in the cheongsam were very small, only reaching the knees.

In addition, there are no high heels, so the taste is a bit lacking.

But this is from the perspective of future generations.

In ancient times, clothing was conservative. Where have you ever seen clothes like cheongsam?

The cheongsam is very tight, revealing her graceful figure.

It gives people an inexplicable novelty and temptation.

"What are you talking about? This is a serious restaurant, so don't mess around here."

Gu Tingye said and glanced at Li An speechlessly.

When he came here, he saw the maid dressed like this and had the same idea.

He really didn't understand what a restaurant was doing with all these bells and whistles.

"What are these?"

A young man pointed at these maids wearing cheongsam and said.

"The one who delivers the food." Gu Tingye said.

……

Soon Gu Tingye understood Li An's intention.

When a woman wearing a cheongsam walked over, holding a tray with dishes in her hands, she was very beautiful.

The food and wine tasted a lot more delicious.

After the banquet was over, Gu Tingye saw off the guests and said with a strange expression: "How did you figure this out?"

"What do you think?" Li An smiled.

"Ahem... the food tastes very good, and business will definitely be good in the future. I took advantage this time," Gu Tingye said.

Ask yourself, after he comes here once, whenever he goes out to eat in the future, he will choose to come here.

It’s not that the food here exceeds Fan Lou’s.

It’s the feeling you get when you eat.

"Haha, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have the guts to open a restaurant in the inner city or in a place like Nanmen Street." Li An said with a smile.

Although Gu Tingye cannot scare everyone, there are unspoken rules in the circle of powerful children.

Although the court stipulates that officials and nobles are not allowed to do business, in fact, no one is doing some business secretly.

This thing is all tacitly understood, so as long as there is no conflict, basically they will not go to the places run by the Lord's family to cause trouble.

"Having said that, I have also taken advantage of you. Let's do this. You don't have to pay back the money you owe me. Just treat it as my share of the money." Gu Tingye said.

"You are generous. In this case, I won't shirk it." Li An said.

In order to repay the money he borrowed to mortgage the house, he borrowed part of it from Gu Tingye. Together with the money from the shop in Yangzhou, he owed Gu Tingye nearly 20,000 taels.

In order to open this restaurant, the family's remaining money has been spent, and there is no money to pay back Gu Tingye in a short time.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I have something to tell you." Gu Tingye said.

"Let's go to the box and talk."

Li An took Gu Tingye to a private room, asked someone to bring him tea, and then sent him away.

"My marriage to Miss Yu has been decided," Gu Tingye said.

"Congratulations then!"

Li An didn't know whether this was a good thing or not. Yu Yanran marrying Gu Tingye was not bad either. The only uncertainties were Xiao Qin and Mannia.

Wait, an idea flashed in Li An's mind, and he seemed to understand why Xiao Qin asked Gu Tingye to marry Yu Yanran.
