Only then did Xue Poye heave a sigh of relief. I'm afraid Lan Yuexuan's reputation will be even greater after such a toss.

Back in the backyard, Yue Zhu and others were worried, Xue Poye explained slightly, only saying that it was a misunderstanding, although everyone still had doubts in their hearts, but their nervousness relaxed.

There is still a large group of talents, young and old, to serve, and the number is likely to increase. If there is no delay, everyone will perform their duties and get busy again.

Xiao Lingxian's face turned pale, she approached Xue Poye, and asked nervously: "Big villain, he...they left?"

Knowing that she was worried about revealing her identity, Xue Poye leaned closer and whispered, "Let's go, it's okay, they don't know your identity!"

"Then...then why did they say that Lanyuexuan hid Qinglian photos?" Xiao Lingxian blinked her big eyes, but was still very nervous: "Did you mean me?"

Xue Poye nodded her pure white forehead, smiled and said: "Yes, that is to say, you are looking for you everywhere, and want to arrest you back!"

Little Lingxian yelled "Ah", quickly covered her mouth, looked left and right, saw that everyone was busy and no one was paying attention, and said in a low voice: "Then... what should I do then? No, I have to go , They...they caught me, my adoptive father will be worried!"

Xue Poye touched his nose and asked in a low voice, "Father? Who is it?"

Xiao Lingxian was just nervous, but her mind was very clear, Xue Poye asked, and hurriedly said: "No one, I'm talking nonsense...!"

Xue Poye looked at her beautiful and nervous face, and thought to himself: "How many secrets does this little girl have in her mind? Who is this adoptive father?" Seeing that she was very nervous, he smiled and said, "Don't Don't panic, they are not looking for you, they are talking nonsense, trying to cheat some benefits, and now there is nothing to do."

Xiao Lingxian pursed her small mouth, and said angrily: "You big villain, sometimes you say you are looking for me, and sometimes you say no, you...you are deceiving me, you are scaring me...!" cry out.

Xue Poye hurriedly coaxed: "Little Fairy, don't cry, I'm a bad person, I'm a bad person, you hit me twice to relieve your anger, from now on I don't scare you, just come, come here, hit me a few times to relieve your anger...!"

Xiao Lingxian said viciously: "Don't beat me now, I will teach you a lesson when I find a big stick."

Xue Poye pretended to be horrified and said: "It's impossible to be so cruel, I have to hide, lest I be beaten into a big pig's head by you!" Making a grimace, Xiao Lingxian was amused to laugh for a moment.

Xue Poye knew that there were a lot of things to do, and when he came to the front hall, he saw Hu San and a group of recruits wearing Xiao Er's clothes, pouring tea and water everywhere, very busy.

The pastry and fruit products of the pastry chef and fruit chef were presented one by one. This is the foundation of Lanyuexuan, so it is natural to publicize it. Xue Poye shuttled between the tables and explained it carefully. , Xue Poye is also very pleased, after all, this is the basic hardware for Lanyuexuan to attract customers, and if it is appreciated, it will be of great benefit to the future business of the restaurant.

Because Mou Zhizhan made a fuss, he first announced in a majestic manner that there were rebels who wanted to search here, and then left in a state of embarrassment by two orders. Everyone secretly guessed Xue Poye's background, and they were quite polite when they spoke. .

There are more and more people, the outside is already full, and the main hall on the first floor is also full of people.

Because Xiao Suzhen had to give a speech, it was not easy to arrange Xiao Suzhen's seat in the private room on the second floor. It cost less money to settle, and the people sitting in these positions are very excited at this time.

There was a lot of voices, Xixi murmured, there were thousands of people coming, the building was already overcrowded, and the seats outside were also full of people, those who had no seats could only gather around the restaurant.

Some clever traders seized this business opportunity, and gathered around Lanyue Xuan with their carts and stalls, shouting and selling, and at noon, a shopping mall was formed, with all kinds of stalls, ranging from pearls, gems, agates, and jadeites to birds and insects. There are running dogs, storytellers, fortune tellers, performers, monkey jugglers, and so on, which are very lively.

Xue Poye really didn't expect such a bustling scene at a party, and he was secretly grateful to Lao Tan for putting the venue here, so that Lanyuexuan would not be able to be famous if he didn't want to.

Xiao Suzhen didn't show up all the time, the gifted scholars competed with each other in poems and words, and the young and old strolled around the stalls and waited together.

Seeing Lao Song busy, Xue Poye suddenly called over and asked in a low voice, "Old Song, do you know the Lu family?"

"The Lu family?" Lao Song immediately showed reverence: "The shopkeeper, that is the richest household in Hangzhou!"

Xue Poye nodded and asked, "Do you know what kind of business their family is based on?"

Lao Song thought about it for a while, wondering: "The shopkeeper, the Lu family and the Fang family in Yangzhou are related by marriage, and the Fang family is the leading wealthy household in Jiangnan. Some people say that all the money in Jiangnan comes from the Fang family, which means that the business in Jiangnan is almost controlled by the Fang family. Most of them. The Lu family and the Fang family are in-laws. With the support of the Fang family, the Lu family has become the richest man in Hangzhou. The Fang family runs a lot of businesses. In addition to tea, salt, silk, and silk, there are also antique shops and jewelry shops. Restaurants, banks, pawnshops, gambling houses, theaters, it is said that their family also has a small fleet that fishes at sea, and the income is extremely considerable. The seafood from the Jiangnan restaurant and restaurant are most likely captured by the Fang family's fleet."

Xue Poye wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, bared his teeth, and said, "Grandma, you are so arrogant." Compared with his own small restaurant, it is really as different as an elephant and ant.

"Then what is the main business of the Lu family?" Xue Poye asked.

"The Lu family is the richest man in Hangzhou, and about six of the ten shops in Hangzhou belong to their family." Lao Song obviously understood this very well, and explained carefully: "The Lu family only has less fleet than the Fang family, and the scale is small. There are only a few, and all businesses are in operation.”

Xue Poye shook his head: "The Lu family does this, what about other businesses?"

"Other businesses?" Lao Song sighed: "Shopkeeper, the Lu family is so powerful, others can only pick up some businesses that the Lu family does not do, or simply become the next household of the Lu family. For example, Hangzhou The most famous restaurant is Huiyuan Pavilion of the Lu family. There are five restaurants in Hangzhou, and all five restaurants are in the best locations. These five Huiyuan Pavilions attract most of the customers, and the daily income is astonishing. I'm afraid that our Lanyue Xuan will be sold to us with just one day's profit. It's just that this place is too remote, and they don't like it."

Xue Poye rubbed his nose and sneered, "Purchase my building? Hehe, our building is now worth tens of thousands of gold, and no one can afford it. But for the five Huiyuan Pavilions, we can buy one by one."

Lao Song opened his mouth, and after a long time he said in horror: "Shop... shopkeeper, you... you want to buy Huiyuan... Huiyuan Pavilion...?" It's unbelievable.

Xue Poye said leisurely: "That's the next step, now we have to make good use of Lanyuexuan and earn a lot of money!"

Lao Song looked at this lazy guy in front of him, and his heart jumped. This shopkeeper is too stupid. He even got the idea of the richest man in Hangzhou, and vowed to slowly eat up other people's Huiyuan Pavilion. Is he having a fever? up.

At this moment, Xue Poye knew in his heart that Xiao Suzhen was here when he heard cheers and waves of cheers coming from outside.
