Father can be an enemy to the country

This room is very elegant, with beautiful beaded curtains, famous landscape paintings on the four walls, and green silk curtains on both sides.

The outward-facing window faces the charming Qinhuai River; the inward-facing window faces the stage in the courtyard.

If the guest doesn't want to watch the show, he can close the inward-facing window sash and it becomes a closed box.

The second and fourth children were sighing at such ingenuity when Mrs. Lu knocked on the door and came in. Yingying bowed and said, "There are too many guests today. I am not welcoming you from afar. I hope you will forgive me."

"Hey Liu Niang, you look a lot prettier." Seeing her peach-blossom-like face and looking forward to her appearance, the fourth child couldn't help but praise her.

"Although we know that the fourth master is joking, the slave family is still very happy." Shen Liu Niang concealed a smile. She is a charming and beautiful woman, otherwise she would not be attracted by Li You.

The reason why the two brothers were collectively blind at first was that there were too many beauties in the palace and they were used to seeing them. Secondly, she was in jail for half a year and was severely malnourished. She didn't take a shower and never saw the light of day. It was strange that she looked like a human being.

Now that she has been recuperating for several months, her complexion has recovered, and she has dressed up carefully. She is naturally very different from before.

It's a pity that if life is just like the first time we met, in the hearts of my brothers, she will still look like the ghost before...

While he was talking, a beautiful maid came in, looked at several dishes, and then served wine to the guests.

Seeing that the dishes on the dishes were exquisite and the layout was very beautiful, Zhu Xi couldn't help but move his index finger and raised his chopsticks to pick them up. But the third child stopped him and said, "This is for food viewing. You can only look at the food but not eat it."

"What?" The second child asked in confusion: "Why?"

"No reason, rich people are so willful." The third child actually couldn't explain why. He just drank too much wine and had experience.

Sure enough, after the maid poured wine for the guests, she stopped looking at the dishes and replaced them with small dishes and hot dishes.

"Looking at dishes is used to arouse the appetite of guests." Shen Liuniang explained: "Families with status have been like this since the Song Dynasty."

"Listen, how do ordinary people know this? I let Liu Niang be the boss, probably because her family has been rich for three generations, and she has seen it all." The third child couldn't help but said proudly: "She will take care of this Jinlianyuan. Let customers feel that the price has dropped.”

"It's a total waste." Zhu Di naturally sneered.

"You're right, it's waste. But doesn't ostentation come from waste? How can there be ostentation without waste?" Zhu was not annoyed, and smiled and taught the fourth child a lesson:

"You have to understand why the dignitaries come to the Qinhuai River. It's not just for the stuttering and trembling. It's to enjoy the wealth and honor in the world and feel the joy that the poor can't imagine!"

Zhu Zhen couldn't help but secretly praise his third brother. If he were born a few hundred years later, he would at least be the chairman of the board of directors in heaven and earth.

"Zhumen's wine and meat stinks, and there are people freezing to death on the road." Zhu Di snorted.

"Don't move your chopsticks if you have the guts." The third child sneered, picked up the wine glass and said to the brothers: "Come, let's have a drink, and wish Jinlianyuan a successful opening and a large number of guests."

"Do it." The brothers clinked their glasses with him and drank them all in one gulp.

What Zhu Zhen drank was a cup of fairy wine. It's really boring, I also want to get drunk...

"Young masters, try the craftsmanship of the shop, can you still eat it?" Shen Liu Niang personally gave some dishes to the brother.

"Look, I'm very appetizing just by looking at it." The second brother picked up the crab meat and cabbage with chopsticks, put it into his mouth and tasted it, and he was full of praise.

"Wow, good, delicious!"

Then he tried several other dishes, and they were all much better than the imperial meal.

Well, Boss Zhu’s imperial cuisine is just that… a middle-class landlord.

"It's delicious, it's delicious!" The second child praised it while eating. "Even the fried vegetables are so fresh that they taste off your tongue."

The fourth child couldn't help but pick up a chopstick of the beauty's liver.

"Didn't you say that Zhumen's wine and meat stinks?" The third child naturally did not miss this opportunity to tease him.

"Let me taste how stinky it is." Lao Si said righteously. After speaking, he put the beauty's liver into his mouth and felt it was extremely delicious and refreshing. I couldn't help but praise: "My eyebrows are so fresh!"

Lao Wu also nodded vigorously in agreement while eating.

Lao Liu didn't even raise his head, just eating and eating.

"You, the cook at Jinlian Restaurant, are really amazing!" Lao Si couldn't help but admire: "The dishes you cook are much fresher than those at Sun Chu Restaurant!"

"Of course the chef was hired with a lot of money." Shen Liu Niang looked at Lao Liu with admiration and said, "But the main credit is due to Master Liu."

"Lao Liu, when did you learn to cook?" The second lao and Lao Si looked at Lao Liu strangely. At that time in his hometown, he could even make crispy rice from rice.

"Hey, corporate secrets." Lao Liu smiled slyly.

"Fuck you." The second and fourth children rolled their eyes at him, but they didn't care too much. This just gave him another reason to come here more often.

"Master Liu has so many abilities. In addition to making our dishes more delicious, there are also grand opening promotions, stored-value point draws, etc., all of which were his ideas." Shen Liu Niang looked at the old man with admiration. Six, what a treasure boy.

"The most important thing is not to close during the New Year." The third child also agreed:

"He said that other stores were closed during the Chinese New Year, but we were opening. Customers had no choice but to come to our home, and business suddenly picked up."

His Royal Highness Prince Jin felt more and more that it was a wise decision for him to bring Lao Liu along with him.

"Don't close during the Chinese New Year?" Lao Si asked casually while enjoying his meal: "Can the people below do anything?"

"No problem, who are the people in Lehu? Where can we go to have a family reunion? Others are celebrating the New Year and they are passing the customs. It is better to go to work normally and not think so much when you are busy." Shen Liuniang became a Lehu and naturally knew that The psychology of Lehu.

"Everyone gets a big New Year red envelope, and they rush to get it."

~~

Halfway through the banquet and with a full stomach, the third child stood up and said, "You guys eat slowly, there will be a performance by our Hong family class later."

Then he winked at Lao Liu and said: "Lao Liu, let's go look elsewhere."

"Okay." Zhu Zhen swallowed the crispy and delicious meatballs in his mouth, wiped his mouth and got up to follow the third child out.

The brothers all knew about Lao San's errands, and could roughly guess the purpose of this restaurant, but they were all too knowledgeable and didn't ask any further questions...

Zhu Zhen and his third brother followed Shen Liu Niang to the backyard of the restaurant.

The originally deserted and dilapidated backyard has been repaired and renovated, and has been turned into separate courtyards, which are the residences of the female historians.

The so-called female history refers to high-end prostitutes.

Different from the kind of brothels that deal in flesh and blood, the female historians in the song are more like social butterflies, mainly providing spiritual enjoyment, emotional value, and bragging capital for their customers in the future.

So it is never the customers who choose them, but the other way around. Only guests who can catch their eye, and of course can afford the money, will have the opportunity to stay overnight and be blessed by a family.

No wonder some people say that the patrons spend a lot of money here and beg for the favor of the female historians, not for the sake of the lower body, but to prove their success...
