    The real excitement came from the dishes that were served very quickly. Since the various methods of frying, stir-frying and deep-frying were clearly divided among several chefs, and the names of the dishes on the water labels were so eye-catching, even the diners were all looking for them.  The stir-fry dishes, highly recommended by the waiter, will inevitably become more interested in other dishes, greatly relieving the pressure on Mo Laosi and his father-in-law.  Besides, there are only 16 stir-fried dishes unveiled on the first day. No matter how many tables there are, you can only choose from this range. Even if Mo Laosi and the others strive for perfection, they can still cook it in one go.  After two or three dishes, the pressure has naturally reduced a lot, and it can't be unpleasant to serve the dishes quickly.  The bright colors of the dishes after being stir-fried, the rich aroma of the dishes that almost no one has ever smelled, and the unique and elegant dining environment all have a great impact on the guests.  Not to mention the stir-fried dishes that give diners strong psychological expectations, even the carefully packaged beggar's chicken, the actual deep-fried KFC, as well as the boiled fish, spicy tofu, etc. made after getting rid of the earthy smell of dogwood.  All of this caused waves of exclamations and admiration, as well as people who couldn't stop eating "It's so delicious, I've never eaten it in my life!" This is the voice that comes up most frequently, and is often followed by an exaggerated intonation.  Add a sentence, "I'm afraid the official family can only eat these!" Of course, there are also angry protests of picky and picky: "Don't grab it from me, keep that plate for me!" or "This lotus fragrance spreads its wings."  It¡¯s too damn hot, hiss I can¡¯t put it in my mouth.¡± Then someone next to him retorted: ¡°If you don¡¯t eat it, leave it all to me. I¡¯m attracted to this!¡± In addition, there are other things.  She was crying, and she looked like she was crying while eating without even saying a word. Shen Qian, who was hiding in the back porch and peeking out, was dumbfounded.  The huge sound of admiration and the image of gluttonous food have an invisible and huge impact on the waiting people who are crowded outside the store and have not come in. Every moment, more people squeeze in, lured by the noise and the aroma of the dishes.  , or saliva dripping, or gearing up to seize the opportunity, spotting where someone has finished eating and an empty table will be the first to grab it.  But at this time, the idea of ??"bullying the weak" obviously didn't work. Just when the restaurant was full, the aroma of the dishes was just overflowing, and the exclamations were just coming one after another, the boys at the door took out a wad of food like magic.  Although the note was very polite, he never allowed the questioning "request" that everyone line up to get the number and enter according to the number.  Xixi is also the hometown of Wenchang after all, and this rule is not difficult to accept. However, those people who had finally squeezed in to queue up to get the number then crowded around the door of the store, for fear that someone would be unscrupulous and force their way in without a number.  Anyway, the situation inside and outside the store was already in chaos at this time ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­   The scholar just now, despite being weak, was quite agile. Although he was the last to attack, he was the first to break into the store.  Since he was alone, he could only share the table with others. Although the people at the same table with him did not kick him out, they consciously drew a boundary with him without knowing each other and gave him a side of the table.  Give it up.  This scholar is not a particularly wealthy person, otherwise he would not have been coerced and induced by Jiang Xing to do despicable things. Moreover, Jiang Xing did not say that he would be given meal money alone. Obviously the meal money was included in the ten dollars.  So although those dishes were really tempting, he still swallowed his saliva and waved his hand and only ordered two dishes.  Those dishes were really delicious. Not to mention the stir-fried dish with the nickname of Beijing Sauce Shredded Pork, which had already fascinated him for a long time. Even the fried chicken wings wrapped in noodles were delicious as he had never seen before. He was immediately fascinated by it.  My heart was trembling, and I felt a strong sense of guilt for no reason.  "However, emotions are emotions, and reason is more important. This scholar slept with Jiang Xing's concubine. If he wakes up at this time, changes his mind, and starts a new life, why shouldn't he be killed because of Jiang Xing's temperament?  So When more than half of the plate of shredded pork with Beijing sauce was eaten by the wind, the scholar noticed that the blue-robed boy next to him who was dedicated to serving these two tables was called over by another table to introduce the name of the dish, and the one at the same table  A few people were just eating, drinking and laughing, and didn't notice his opportunity at all. They quickly took out the small cloth bag from their sleeves with trembling hands, shielded others' eyes with the tabletop, opened the mouth and quickly picked out a dead fly with two fingers.  Throw it into a stir-fry.  All this was done so smoothly that the scholar had no time to wipe his sweat. When he was about to take out another fly and throw it into the dish before standing up and shouting, he never thought that there was a sudden gust of wind in his ears. Before he could react, there was a sound.  Only a strong hand tightly wrapped around the wrist of the hand holding the bag, and then a voice laughed softly: "My lord, have you eaten enough? Is it to your appetite?" "Uh" The scholar subconsciously said  He quickly raised his head and looked over, then?Now the tall, strong, blue-robed boy serving at the two tables nearby discovered his secret move so quickly, and quickly ran over to directly seize evidence of his crime.  At this time, the scholar's scalp was numb, and his lips were trembling for a long time. Then under the surprised gazes of the people across the table, he laughed in fear and said, "Yes, yes, it suits your appetite" "It suits your appetite." That one  The boy and Mo Xiaoyi grew up hanging out together on the streets of Xixi. Although he never did anything too outrageous, he was crawling in the mud all day long, and he was really not a good person. Although he smiled  He responded, but glanced at the dish, and then said with a strange smile, "Hey, what's that black thing in that dish?" "Uh-huh, scallions, scallions! It's burnt, it's burnt.  "The scholar was quite quick-witted. Seeing that he was the unlucky one, he hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and quickly put them into the food. He turned his hand and neck and put it into his mouth again. Although his face was full of expressions like eating flies, he finally got rid of it.  A crisis resolved.  "Ho ho ho, please use it with your dignity, sir. Huh -" As he spoke, the boy clasped his little finger and mysteriously grabbed the bag into his hand, then glared at the scholar, and then patted the man sitting at the other table.  The companion he introduced with a smile walked away far away.  The scholar let out a breath of surprise. Seeing that the people across the table were busy eating and drinking again, not daring to leave or stay, he quickly picked up the teacup and drank several sips before he made up his mind.  I started eating again, but before I could take a few bites, I heard a strange noise coming from the door of the store.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ There were too many people in the store, and Shen Qian didn¡¯t even think about it.  Maybe he looked over, so he couldn't find out what the scholar who deliberately hid in the corner was doing.  Mrs. Qin, who was paying full attention to what was going on in the store, wearing a water skirt and holding a bunch of rapeseed in her hand, just walked out of the kitchen corridor.  Seeing Shen Qian standing there, he walked over and stretched his head to look into the hall together.  The owner of "Heshun Juchang" is Shen Qian. It is said that Mrs. Qin is a serious old lady who just waits for others to take care of her. But she is a hard-working person who can't keep her hands and feet busy. Even if her son becomes successful, she still won't change.  What's more, Sun and she are good sisters. It's the first day the store has opened and the staff is very tight. How dare she not come to help?  Just looking into the hall, Mrs. Qin suddenly sighed softly for no reason. Shen Qian had actually noticed that she was coming. Hearing her sigh, he turned around and asked: "Mother, what's wrong?"  Oh, it's nothing. Mom was just a little scared when she saw the customers." Qin frowned slightly, bit her lower lip and thought for a moment, "Wu Lang, it's not that Mom doesn't want you to open a shop to make money.  After many things, you said that our 'Heshun Juchang' has kept the price of cooking so low, and customers from Hangzhou will inevitably come here in the future. If, if we offend those big wine shops, I will be afraid" "Hey  "Mother, where have you been thinking about?" Shen Qian originally thought that Mrs. Qin was afraid that he would be obsessed with money and forget to study. He was just thinking about explaining his determination, but he never thought that she was thinking about these things.  One of them almost laughed out loud when he didn't react. After holding it in, he said seriously, "Those who shout and kill at every turn are all people who can't stand the stage. Those are not the ones who can rely on the big wine shops. Mom, you might as well take it easy."  Think about it, how stupid are they to not know that low prices can lead to more customers? Then why do they charge so much for stir-fried dishes? They don't want ordinary people to eat stir-fried dishes.  If you can afford it, what kind of treasure is it? " "Then, then" Qin's mouth is cowardly, even Yan's can't say it, how can she say it better than Shen Qian?  I didn¡¯t fully understand what he meant when I heard this, but I always felt that he had taken things astray, so I had to say, "You know this truth, so why" "Mom, listen to me, the child is cheating.  This is the loophole. "You can ignore others, but you can't treat your own mother. Shen Qian quickly turned around and analyzed everything with his fingers, "These days, the kids in Hangzhou will do what they do.  I went to all the cooking restaurants and found that what they wanted was Confucius' "Eating is never tired of fine food, never tired of fine meat". Not only must the dishes be full of color, flavor and flavor, but they must also be presented in a meaningful shape before they can be served. This is called eating with taste.  , those who want to entertain are those high-ranking officials and nobles who are full of poems and books, and they don't pay attention to the common people at all. If they do the same thing, not only will they not be able to compete with them, but they will also not be able to compete with them.  It has no special features, and it is impossible for those dignitaries to??I came all the way to Xixi to eat the same meal.  That's why I started with the diners in the market who were not looked down upon by big wine establishments.  As long as the food is delicious, it doesn't matter what the appearance is.  Moreover, by lowering the price to such a low level, it is impossible for the nobles who can afford to eat stir-fry to take advantage of this and make people laugh. In this way, they will not be on the same level as those big wine shops, and they will not compete with each other for customers, at least not in the short term.  will conflict.  As for the future we can only take one step at a time.  " "Well, you are older and have more opinions than your mother. If you think it is right, then do it, but don't delay your studies.  " Mrs. Qin heard the truth. Although she was still uneasy, she sighed slightly and stopped talking. She was about to turn around and go back to the kitchen when she glanced at the store door and found that there was a mess, so she said to Gang, "  "My child knows." Shen Qian pouted angrily, and then hurriedly hid in the kitchen. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ There was indeed chaos at the door of the store. Not only Shen Qian and the others could hear it, but also everyone in the hall could hear it. There was a commotion there. After a while, the crowd crowded in front of the store.  They made a way for each other in a noisy manner, and then a Zao Li from the yamen walked in, stood in front of the threshold, and shouted loudly: "Your Excellency, Zhou County of Qiantang is here!"  " This person must have shouted loudly on the street, otherwise the people at the door would not have fled in panic. But the people in the store didn't hear it just now. At this time, they suddenly heard that the parents and officials above Xixi had arrived, and there was another burst of shouting.  In the chaos, I saw two rows of four officials clearing the way. Behind them, an elegant middle-aged man in his thirties wearing casual clothes and a square cap on his head stopped at the threshold.  He bowed respectfully and made room for someone. After a while, a famous figure from Xixi appeared on the stage. Shen Mai was supported hard by Lao Qi, Shen Yuan, and another elder of the Shen family.  He moved into the store with a cane and walked towards the counter with several local squires from Xixi and Zhou Zhixian. On the opposite side, Mo Laosi, who had received the news at some time, was running away wiping the sweat from his head.  After leaving the kitchen corridor, he bowed deeply and bowed to Zhou Zhixian from afar. "Hahahaha, Mo Silang, don't be too polite.  " Zhou Zhixian didn't wear official uniform today, so he didn't show any official authority. He laughed and laughed in a loud voice, exempting Mo Silang from the courtesy, and then said to Shen Mai, "I have tasted Mo Silang's craftsmanship a few days ago.  Very suitable for taste.  So I came to Xixi on business today and heard that Mo Silang Baozhuang was newly opened, so there was no reason not to ask Mr. Shen to come with him to support it.  " Shen Mai also stroked his beard and quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, Mo Si is also a close neighbor of Lao Chan, and Lao Chan knows his temperament.  He is an honest and practical person.  When it comes to doing business, you must be fair and honest.  " Over there, Mr. Mo quickly bowed in fear and fear: "Thank you, County Lord Zhou, for your compliments, and thank you, Official Shen, for your compliments.  That, that, what, the seats are full downstairs, either, or open a private room upstairs first Oh, no, no, no, hey, hey, two, two, please invite these big brothers to come up and sit high.  " "Hahahaha, you are really an honest person.  Then the official was troubled.  " Zhou Zhixian laughed happily a few times. Amid the echoing laughter of the people in the hall, he waved to the boy who hurried over to greet him. Then he bowed his hands to the people in the hall and said with a smile, "Xiaoguan Zhou Yan, Qiantang County, today  Originally I just came to Xixi for business, and happened to accompany Mr. Shen to have a meal, but I never wanted to disturb everyone's enjoyment. It is really rude.  Please eat well, everyone.  " "Zhou County is so polite.  " There was a burst of laughter in the hall, and Zhou Zhixian then accompanied Shen to the stairs of the back corridor with a smile. But there was something strange in the noise in the hall. " Is it possible?  All the people with this strange mood are smart people. What is the identity of Zhou Zhixian? He is the parent official of Qiantang County. It just happened that he came to Xixi on business today, and it happened that he wanted to join in the fun because he had eaten the food cooked by Mr. Mo?  Besides, Shen Mai is the number one celebrity in Xixi, and he usually stays at home to entertain distinguished guests. Why would he go to all the trouble to accompany Zhou Zhixian with his two broken legs? Of course, you can't say that.  This is not right, but there is something abnormal about him. Many people can guess the abnormality. Even though both Zhou Zhixian and Shen Mai said they were just here to eat, they were the first to open "Heshun Juchang".  It happened by chance. It was obvious that Shen Mai was the big shop owner of "Heshun Juchang" as rumored. Even if he wasn't, at least he had a lot of stakes, otherwise he wouldn't have shown up at this time.  Well some things can't be explained too clearly. This is to suppress the evil spirit of "Heshun Juchang". They brought out such a giant Buddha as the county statue, but they didn't know what the background was behind it.Immediately, my curiosity increased, and the topics of the meal became much richer. Those who were hiding among the diners and were ready to find trouble were restrained. Although the food was really delicious, it was by no means boring, but the low mood  But it is conceivable.  As for the poor scholar, he didn't have the courage to sit down again at this time. He quickly paid the bill and quickly squeezed through the crowd at the entrance of the store and ran out.  When I got to the street, I didn't dare to stay for fear of being caught and beaten by Jiang Xing. But I glanced at the teahouse diagonally across the street, only to find that Jiang Xing and the others had disappeared long ago  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Such a small role is not even an episode, Shen Qian can¡¯t notice it  , Zhou Zhixian, Shen Mai and the others naturally didn't notice it. When they came to the back porch and were about to go up the stairs, Zhou Zhixian found Shen Qian standing at the top of the stairs and bowing his hands respectfully to him. He stopped and laughed and said: "  Wulang, I heard from Mr. Shen that you entered the inner dormitory just after entering the state school. It is really gratifying." Shen Qian responded quickly: "Your Excellency, Zhou County, has always been stupid. It's all thanks to him for making progress.  The county magistrate and the third uncle taught me. "Hahahaha, okay, young people should be more humble." Zhou Zhixian still owes Shen Qian a favor. Although he showed up today, he can repay the favor, but because of some "  "The reason." He was also involved in this "Heshun Juchang". This relationship really couldn't be considered repayable, so he just nodded to Shen Qian understandingly, waved his hands and smiled, "Since it's such a coincidence that we are here, Wulang  Why don't you accompany Shen Shaofu and Xiaguan to have a few drinks?" Without waiting for Shen Qian's reply, Zhou Zhixian smiled and greeted the others to go upstairs, while Shen Mai was pulled behind.  He glared at Shen Qian and said calmly: "Why are you so expressionless? Why don't you help me quickly and let your seventh uncle and the others suffer!"
