Fang Xiaoxi saw Qian Jiujiu agreeing with her and said, "I didn't expect that Master Mu has such good taste in flowers. I just wonder if he has any other ideas?"
When it comes to opening a restaurant, the most eye-catching thing is whether it is lively or not when it opens. If it is lively, everyone will talk about it, commonly known as gossip.
If someone talks about gossip, it will spread further and further, and more and more people in the restaurant will know about it. If it's just some flowers, I'm afraid it won't have any good effect.
Qian Jiujiu smiled mysteriously: "Don't mention it. After I came back yesterday, I prepared a surprise for my son overnight! It should be here soon."
A surprise prepared overnight? Fang Xiaoxi also began to look forward to it. She just held her gift in her hand and would give it to Master Mu later.
Nan Nan had already stood at the door and was about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums. Then a lion dance troupe came in, dancing the lion, and stopped at the door of the restaurant.
Looking at this scene, it is really lively. With the lion dance team, people from all around gathered around. Not only that, the lion dance team started from the entrance of the town, and many people followed behind.
At this time, Boss Tong walked up with a gift and looked at Nan Nan: "Mr. Mu, congratulations."
Nan Nan looked at Boss Tong. As expected, this man was the first to come and congratulate her. Nan Nan's image was still that of a child, so everything was prepared for the shopkeeper next to him to come forward.
The shopkeeper was also dumbfounded when he saw the lion dance team. He looked at Nan Nan and said, "Boss, did you prepare this too?"
Nan Nan shook his head: "No, but since everyone is here, wouldn't it be better to bring more people? Here's the loudspeaker. Go light the firecrackers. It's the auspicious time."
When the shopkeeper heard that such an important task as lighting firecrackers was entrusted to him, he was instantly overjoyed: "Okay, I'll go now."
While walking towards the firecrackers, he bowed and said, "Everyone, the auspicious time has arrived. Our herbal medicine pavilion is officially open."
Then he walked to the firecrackers and lit them. The firecrackers went off, and the sounds of gongs and drums rang out. It was so lively that the people around him covered their ears and started discussing.
"This restaurant looks so grand, but I wonder what it's like inside? What does the herbal medicine do?"
"I don't know, but after I go in, there should be someone to introduce it. It just doesn't look cheap. Otherwise, I'll go in and give it a try."
Nan Nan has sharp ears and good hearing. When he heard what the people said, he couldn't help but be curious. He waved to call a waiter and said something in his ear. Then the waiter turned and went in.
Soon the waiter brought out a signboard with pictures of the signature medicinal foods and their prices. Some were cheap, some were expensive, and their efficacy was listed at the back.
The most surprising thing was that there was a doctor sitting at the door of the herbal medicine pavilion. No one knew what that meant.
After the firecrackers were set off, the shopkeeper waved his hand and the lion dance team quieted down. The shopkeeper said with satisfaction: "Well, everyone knows that our Herbal Medicine Pavilion, as the name suggests, sells herbal medicine."
"But what about medicinal food? Not everyone can eat this, so everyone who comes in needs our doctor to take their pulse and check if they are suitable for medicinal food. We will recommend what kind of medicinal food is suitable for you and won't let you eat it carelessly."
When the people in the crowd heard this, they immediately asked, "Is the pulse diagnosis free? If we are not suitable for medicinal food, do we still have to pay for the pulse diagnosis?"
The shopkeeper looked at these people with a smile: "No, if you are not suitable for medicinal food, we also have non-medicinal dishes, all of which are edible. Of course, pulse diagnosis is free, as long as you come in and spend money, I will give you a pulse diagnosis."
It doesn't sound like it's free, but most people won't miss free things. Even Qian Jiujiu didn't expect that Nan Nan would actually offer a free pulse diagnosis, so she walked up to him with a smile.
"Take my pulse."
Fang Xiaoxi walked to Nan Nan's side and said, "Mr. Mu, I wish you a great opening of your new store. This is a gift for you."
The gift was just a small gadget she made herself, not worth much, but it represented her thoughts. Nan Nan didn't expect Fang Xiaoxi to give a gift, and was a little curious.
But it is impolite to open the gift in front of others, so it is better to say thank you first: "Thank you, please come in."
Fang Xiaoxi walked to Qian Jiujiu with a smile. The doctor had already felt Qian Jiujiu's pulse and said, "Madam is in very good health. The medicinal food in our medicinal food pavilion is very suitable. Please come in."
Qian Jiujiu stood up and looked at Fang Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi, go and check the pulse too."
Fang Xiaoxi nodded: "Okay, Master. Doctor, thank you for your help."
As he said this, he stretched out his hand for the doctor to feel his pulse. The doctor used the hanging thread method to feel the pulse. Since there were not only men but also women as the guests coming, he had been prepared.
Of course, if Qian Jiujiu comes, we will prepare a man and a woman, which will be more convenient. Well, you can talk to Nan Nan about this suggestion.
Fang Xiaoxi also quickly took the pulse and said, "This girl's body is a little weak. She needs to be taken care of. You can take a look at our medicinal diet."
It's normal to feel a little weak. After all, Fang Xiaoxi's physical condition is known to herself! She looked at the doctor with a smile: "Thank you, doctor. I understand."
Someone saw both Qian Jiujiu and Fang Xiaoxi go in, and naturally they couldn't wait to come over to take their pulses. Of course, the third person was none other than Boss Tong.
As for the people they brought with them, there was no need to check them because they would not eat here. Even if these servants ate here, they would not order medicinal food for them.
The previous chefs were also kept by Nan Nan just to cook ordinary meals. After all, the herbal medicine pavilion looked very high-end, and only rich people came to eat there. Nowadays, all the rich people have servants around them.
And the medicinal food was so expensive, these people would not order it for the servants, so he was prepared. After Qian Jiujiu went in, Nan Nan followed Qian Jiujiu in.
"Mom, did you invite the lion dance team?"
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "Yes, I specially went out to ask someone to treat you last night. How about it? Mom is still very good to you. To thank me, please serve all your signature dishes. By the way, I haven't seen your menu yet, let me see it."
Soon, a waiter brought the menu up. Looking at the menu in front of me, it turned out to be a book. It was well made. The pictures on it were very realistic, and each medicinal dish had its name and function introduced next to it.
"Not bad, it looks decent. Well, there is a beauty and skin care series, and a nourishing and health care series, both are good, let's take these two."
After looking at the price, a dish of medicinal food cost ten taels of silver. Qian Jiujiu's mouth twitched. He wondered if the people in Xianyou Town had the spending power to do so.
After all, in Qian Jiujiu's opinion, people in Xianyou Town are not very wealthy. Wouldn't this table cost more than a hundred taels of silver? Does this kid think this place is the capital
Forget it, I've already said that I won't interfere with this child, just let him be. After ordering, Qian Jiujiu looked at Nan Nan and said, "You don't have to accompany me, go greet your other friends. Didn't I see that guy named Tong?"
Nan Nan blinked and said, "That's Tong Ruyu, she's okay. I won't accompany you guys then."
After leaving, Nan Nan couldn't wait to find a room, and then opened Fang Xiaoxi's gift, and found it was a cat. However, this cat was a little strange, and the color of its body was something he had never seen before.
But there was a big word "wealth" on its belly, and one of its hands was moving back and forth. What was this thing? Nan Nan was very curious. Although it looked cute, she had never seen a cat like this before.
Forget it, I'll find a chance to ask Fang Xiaoxi. After putting the gift in his room, Nan Nan went out to look for Tong Ruyu.
Seeing the shopkeeper blending in with the crowd like a duck in water, he was very satisfied. It seemed that it was the right choice for the shopkeeper to stay.
The dishes were served very quickly in the kitchen. Qian Jiujiu looked at the medicinal food on the table. She had very high requirements for medicinal food, and what she saw in front of her did not meet her standards.
However, if it is made according to her standards, it would not be ten taels of silver per serving, but ten thousand taels of silver per serving, and not everyone can afford it.
As for the food in front of me, I was able to eat it with ten taels of silver, which was a good deal. I would just eat it bit by bit and make do with it.
Qian Jiujiu soon realized that something was wrong with his apprentice. Logically speaking, his apprentice, who used to be poor, saw such delicious food and ate it so elegantly. It felt strange.
"Xiao Xi, isn't it delicious?"
Fang Xiaoxi blinked her eyes: "It's OK."
Just OK? Jinjin only got the title of just OK? Qian Jiujiu was even more surprised: "Is my disciple's cooking skill good?"
Fang Xiaoxi nodded: "It's okay, I have something to tell you, Master, don't be angry, I'm delivering food to the people in the other courtyard, but it didn't take up much of my time, I'm studying seriously."
Qian Jiujiu was a little amused: "Is that so? It doesn't matter. You have to make a living too. Just memorize all those books within a month. If you have a chance, come to my house and let me cook a meal. I will also learn your cooking skills."
Although she had eaten at Fang's house last time, Qian Jiujiu didn't feel very experienced. Now that she thought about it, something was wrong. Although it wasn't amazing, she was very picky about food, and she obviously didn't pick it that day.
It was very strange that the food that day appeared in an ordinary farmer's house. Fang Xiaoxi nodded: "Okay, then I will make a delicious meal for the master when I have time. I believe the master will like what I cook."
