The Shandong restaurant is located in Xisi Pailou in Xicheng. This area is full of shops. The shops of the Shandong restaurant are also the dowry of Mrs. Zhou of the East Mansion, and they can collect 1,000 taels of silver every year.
Don’t think it’s expensive. With this price, many merchants want to rush to rent. Not only because of the good location, but also because the Zhang family is a royal relative, they can “cover it”. In fact, some “protection fees” are included. Diners dare not make trouble in Shandong restaurants by alcohol.
Shandong cuisine is a food that is available in the capital. Only rich people can eat this. People who treat guests and those who are invited have face. There are five shops on the storefront alone, and there are horse-mounted stones and horse-tie stones at the door. There is also a corridor next door that specializes in carriage parking.
The first floor is an open hall, and the second floor is a private room. When Ruyi arrived at the Shandong restaurant, she naturally looked around on the first floor and didn’t see her own people.
The waiter observed his expression and hurriedly went over and asked, “Girl, look for someone.”
Ruyi nodded, “A group of people from the Zhang family’s Xifu, treating guests to the house is called Hua…”
Ruyi thought that Huajuan had returned to the sect, so naturally she no longer had a surname. What is his name now?
So she changed her words and said, “The guests are all from the Zhang family’s Xifu, and there is Cao Ding and Storekeeper Cao.”
Since Cao Ding is now a celebrity in front of the Marquis of the West, the people in the store should know him.
Sure enough, the waiter said, “Miss, you know Storekeeper Cao! That’s right, Storekeeper Cao was having dinner in our store.
Although Ruyi reported the customer’s name, the waiter still didn’t dare to take her directly into the private room and asked, “The girl’s name is”
Ruyi said, “My name is Ruyi. “
The waiter hurriedly said, “Miss, wait a moment, I’ll inform you now.” “
The waiter ran to the second floor. After a while, Jixiang and Ruyi Niang and Huajuan came down from the second floor. Jixiang ran fast, at the front, Huajuan second, and Ruyi Niang behind, all waved to her:
“Ruyi! ”
“Sister Ruyi! It’s great that you can come! ”
“My son! “
Ruyi quickly ran upstairs, and the four of them met at the corner of the stairs!
Ruyi hugged Ruyi’s mother and refused to let go, “Mom, I miss you.” Today, Madam Wang gave me a day off and I went back to Siquan Lane. You were not here, so I found this place. ”
As for the pig-killing operation in the East Mansion last night, Ruyi didn’t say a word.
Jixiang laughed and said, “Let’s go, let’s talk to the private room. The private room is warm, and my mother is talking to Aunt Cao. “
Huajuan also said, “I’ll treat you today, waiter, add another pair of bowls and chopsticks! “
Ruyi’s mother held Ruyi’s hand tightly, looking at her daughter without blinking, “I haven’t seen her for only half a month, it seems to have grown taller again. “
When I came to the private room, there were three tables, divided into male guest table, female guest table and child table.
There were three people sitting at the male guest table. Of course, the main seat was Cao Ding and Shop Cao. Brother-in-law E sat in Cao Ding’s left hand position, and the flower roll for the treat was sitting in Cao Ding’s right hand position.
There were three people at the female guest table, Cao Lady Cao was in the main seat, Sister Go was sitting in Cao Lady Cao’s left hand position, Ruyi Niang sat in Cao Lady Cao’s right hand position, and the last seat of the male and female table was empty, so the chair was removed.
Both tables of guests were elders, and they had to talk. Ruyi would only sit on the seat later, and they would only sit on the children’s table with Jixiang.
Because Ruyi was the last one and came uninvited, she raised her glass and greeted the two hosts and guests on the table, Cao Ding and Madam Cao:
“Shopkeeper Cao! The last time I met you, I was on the construction site of the Summer Palace. You were in charge of the warehouse. I called you, Manager Cao. Now I see you, you are the shopkeeper of the Zhangjiawan Baoyuan Store, which has more than 400 warehouses! Congratulations! I’ll give you a cup. “
Cao Ding nodded and smiled, “Ruyi is getting more and more outstanding. I heard that you have been promoted to second level in just one month after you work with Madam Wang. It’s amazing, and your future is limitless. “
Ruyi was about to fill the wine and wanted to toast Miss Cao. Sister E held her hand and said, “We have drunk several rounds of wine. Now I want to drink some sweet fruit dew, so I won’t drink it anymore. “
Sister Goose means that Ruyi drinks a glass of wine. Although this is a social occasion, Ruyi is still young after all, so you should drink less wine.
Jixiang immediately picked up the fruit dew made of rose braised rice, changed the cup, poured it into the glass cup, and gave Ruyi. After that, he also replaced the glass cup for the women present and poured sweet fruit dew.
Ruyi picked up the second cup of fruit dew and respected Mrs. Cao, “People feel refreshed when they are happy, and Aunt Cao is getting richer. I heard that you are moving to Zhangjiawan, Tongzhou. It will be too difficult to meet you in the future, but I am embarrassed to disturb you to make a fortune. I thought I would like to pay my respects to you, congratulate you on your housewarming and wish Baoyuan Store a prosperous business. “
Niangzi Cao smiled and said, “This child’s mouth became sweeter after being trained by Madam Wang, and he was even sweeter than this fruit dew. He is such a good child. ”
