Chapter 356 Showing off (please subscribe for a monthly pass)
Xu Hong is in the back directing people to prepare the ingredients and stew the broth. She seldom does it now, but just supervises and reminds the stuffing from the back, which are all done by the apprentices she brought out.

The restaurant did not invite other chefs, they were all from Fangjia Village, so they were not afraid of someone stealing their chefs.

Xu Hong was very happy to see them coming back, chatted with them a few words, and then began to cook for them by herself.

The ingredients are all ready-made, and there are so many people helping, so a table of dishes will be ready in a short while.

Anyway, it wasn't time for dinner, so Xu Hong called Fang Youhui and Fang Youfu to sit with them, and the two men chatted and drank with Liu Dazhuang.

At this time, I heard a scream of "ah" coming from the aisle in front of the Unicom in the backyard.

Everyone stopped the chopsticks in their hands, and the brothers got up one after another, wanting to see what was going on.

Jiayin directly poked her divine sense over, stretched out her hand and patted her forehead, she forgot about the fat guy.

When they got out of the car before, the fat guy was sound asleep, so he didn't wake it up.

They are also used to it. When they arrive at the inn and restaurant, they don't ask Pang Pang to get off the car, and just bring him something to eat later.

Nao Nao must have talked to Pang Pang just now, that's why Pang Pang ran out by himself.

As a result, I ran into the guy in the restaurant, which shocked him.

Jiayin said to everyone: "I'll go and have a look, you can continue to eat."

Fang Zhiyuan and Fang Zhigang wanted to follow along, but Jiayin pressed them on their seats, "It's okay, I guess Fatty ran out."

Only then did the Fang family brothers look stunned, they also forgot about Pangpang.

Jiayin trotted all the way to the aisle, and first comforted the boy who was pale with fright.

"Don't be afraid, I raised this one, it's very docile."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched his fat head.

Chubby rubbed against her.

Seeing that the big guy really looked docile and harmless, the little boy swallowed, and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"That lady, please take care of it. Guests will be served soon. It would be bad if they scare the guests."

Jiayin nodded, "I will, and I won't let it leave my side again."

Nodding to the buddy again, he led his fat paws into the lobby.

As soon as they entered the lobby, Xu Hong, Fang Youfu and a few other staff all looked over in unison.

Presumably, Fang Zhiyuan and the others had told them just now that they were fat, so when they saw the fat people, there was only curiosity but no fear in their eyes.

Fang Youfu stood up and walked over, stopped a step away from Pangpang and said: "This is Pangpang, he is really big enough."

As he spoke, he tentatively reached out his hand to touch it, but seeing that Pang Pang didn't dodge or show a fierce look, he put his hand on Pang Pang's arm with confidence.

He touched it lightly and took it back.

It's really quite obedient, this is the legendary iron-eating beast.

Their restaurant is famous in Nanyue County, so there are many merchants coming and going. They have really heard of the name of this iron-eating beast.

It's just that I didn't expect to be able to meet each other by fate, and to be accepted by Jiayin.

It is said that this iron-eating beast doesn't come out of the mountains easily, and only haunts Dongshan County. It is a unique beast there.

Although not very warlike, it is not even afraid of tigers.

And the food I eat is said to be hard bamboo, so I can imagine how amazing its bite is.

In his opinion, the hardness of bamboo is no different from that of bones. If you can chew bamboo, you can break human bones.

I always thought that with such a mighty name, she should also look extremely ferocious, but I didn't expect her to be so big with such a naive appearance.

When Fang Youfu touched Pangpang just now, it shook its furry ears and tilted its head to look at him.

To be honest, if it was a few laps younger, he couldn't help but move around in his arms.

Xu Hong also couldn't help walking over, seeing Jiayin pulling its big paw, couldn't help but pick up its other big paw, and squeeze it lightly.

Fatty was pinched comfortably, and cried out.

Xu Hong couldn't help laughing when he heard the voice, "Such a big guy has such a soft voice, you are really duplicity."

He couldn't help but raised his hand to touch the black ear that was shaking all the time.

Pangpang was pinched more comfortably, his eyes narrowed, and he changed into a cry, bleating like a sheep.

Xu Hong and Fang Youfu were amazed, "Does it still meow like a sheep?"

Jiayin said: "It can bark in several ways. When it is angry, it will bark like a dog, and it usually barks like a beep. When it is comfortable, it will bark like a sheep."

The two were amazed when they heard it, and raised their arms around Pangpang.

It was Fang Zhiqiang and Fang Zhiwen who urged them to hurry up and eat quickly. It would be bad if there were guests in the lobby after a while, so they returned to the dining table.

Everyone chatted and laughed and finished their lunch ahead of time, Xu Hong asked Fang Youfu to guard here.

She had already finished explaining about the back kitchen, so she didn't need to stare here, so she took them back to the small courtyard in the county town.

A total of two small courtyards were bought, Fang Youfu and his wife lived in one, and Fang Youhui and her children lived in one.

The children were still young, not yet the age of enlightenment, so they followed them to the county town, where they were watched by maids and women at home.

They hired a woman here, and bought a little maid, mainly because they are not at ease if there is only one person, and the two can supervise each other.

The mother-in-law looks after the children, and the maid takes care of trivial matters such as sweeping the two yards.

Fang Youfu's daughter-in-law went back to Fangjia Village, is she here? Their two children attend private school in the village, and she has to go back to visit from time to time, so she runs around.

They didn't know until they got to the small courtyard that it was said to be a small courtyard, but it was actually two entrances.

The one in the back is where Xu Hong, his wife and children live, and the one in the front is for the aunts and sisters-in-law who came from Fangjia Village together.

There are doors at the front and back, so you can use the front door, or you can use a door each, which is very convenient.

On Fang Youfu's side, there is a small courtyard where the couple live, which is much smaller than this side.

The guys in the store go back to their homes after work, and they are basically locals from Nanyue City. The restaurant only serves three meals, and it is convenient to not take care of them.

They went directly to the backyard. There were many empty houses in the yard, but they didn't clean them up because no one lived there.

Xu Hong helped them clean up three rooms, seven men lived in two rooms, and three women lived in one room.

They planned to stay overnight tonight and return to Fangjia Village tomorrow, taking Liu Yu'er and the others for a stroll around Nanyue County.

After Xu Hong arranged them, chatted with them for a while, and then went to the restaurant again.

They woke up after taking a nap, and Fang Zhiwu and Fang Zhiqiang took Yang Huiyun, Liu Yuer, and Liu Dazhuang out for a stroll.

When you get here, there is no need to go out together. It would be troublesome if there are too many people, so it is better to go separately, so that you can go wherever you want.

Besides, Jiayin and the others came to the county town a lot before, and they were already familiar with them, so they didn't bother to go shopping.

Jiayin and the others had nothing to do, so they went to the house to dig out the seafood they bought before and some special ingredients from other places.

Prepare to sort it out and leave it to Xu Hong.

The reason why I didn't take it out from the restaurant was, of course, because the existence of the storage bag could not be exposed.

After all, there are a lot of people over there, so it would be bad if others saw it.

Divide a portion of the fruits they picked before, and put them in a small storage bag after dividing them into equal parts, and give them to Xu Hong directly when the time comes.

The remaining ones are going to be taken back to Fangjia Village and divided among each household.

The glassware and clocks are also left for Xu Hong and Fang Youfu. Anyway, they spend most of their time on the county side, so just leave them here.

I think it would be better to put the clock and watch in the restaurant, so you can check the time at any time, which is very convenient.

There are also those glasses that can be used to hold wine. Using these glasses for drinks may increase the price.

There are also oil lamps with glass covers. Candles are always lit for dinner in restaurants. After all, the light of oil lamps is too dim, and the lobby is too big. If too many lights are lit, the guests will feel uncomfortable.

But the candles are also expensive to make, and more than a dozen candles are lit every night. It is much better to have this. The brightness of this thing is not inferior to candles, and it can be hung on the beams of the house.

It is said that the high lights are bright, the lights are placed high, and the brightness below is greater.

To be honest, if it wasn't for the fear of thieves, Jiayin would have left them a small night pearl.

When collecting the treasure house of the royal family of the Banyue Kingdom before, they collected several night pearls.

There are different sizes, the least one is only as big as a thumbnail, but its brightness is as bright as three or four candles burning at the same time.

Along the way, when they couldn't find a place to set up a camp to drive at night, Jiayin would take out the little night pearl, put it in the glass case, and hang it in front of the car for lighting.

If you don't pay attention to it like this, you may think it is the candlelight in the lantern.

Of course, they also did some processing, after all, the night pearl itself emits a shining white light or some yellow-green light.

So they bought some yellow silk thread and wrapped it thinly, so that if you don't look carefully, you will think it is a yellow flame.

Although the brightness will be slightly reduced, it is still no problem to illuminate the road in front.

Xu Hong came back at You o'clock in the evening, and restaurants are basically closed at this time.

Jiayin and the others rested in the afternoon, so they were not sleepy, and sat in the main room chatting.

Xu Hong came back with Fang Youhui.

Fang Youhui opened a small carpenter's shop in the county town, and usually helped people make some furniture.

Although there is no restaurant to make money, it is still no problem to maintain life.

Every day after his carpenter's shop closes, he will pick up his wife and come back with him.

Fang Youhui was also very happy to see them, he patted the Fang family brothers on the shoulders one by one, and chatted with Liu Dazhuang before going to wash up.

Jiayin pulled Xu Hong and began to show off the things they brought out in the afternoon.

"Auntie, look, we bought these at the wharf in Hainan County, and they were shipped from countries far, far away across the sea.

I heard that they have to sail for several months at sea to get there, look at this thing..."

Saying that, Jiayin picked up the glass.

"This is their wine vessel. Isn't it beautiful? But this thing is very fragile and cannot be bumped, just like our porcelain here, it will shatter when touched."

Xu Hong took the glass and looked at it in amazement, "This thing is actually transparent, and the shape is also strange. It is very novel to look at. If it is paired with our good wine, it can also scare people. You can mention it more. Raise the price."

Jiayin stretched out her thumb with admiration, "As expected of my aunt, she wanted to go with me, that's what I thought."

Xu Hong patted Jiayin's hair lovingly, "Your little head is good, so what is it?"

Xu Hong pointed to the clock and asked.

Jiayin went over to wind the clock, and put the two hands at about the same hour now.

He said to Xu Hong: "This is called a clock. It is used to tell the time. You can see that it has twelve numbers in total. This represents one and this represents two..."

Xu Hong raised her eyebrows and said, "This number is different from what we have here. This one is quite simple. It's just one upright, and two is two uprights. It's really interesting."

Jiayin nodded, "This is how they count. Count to the right, the one in the middle is twelve, and the one on the right is one..."

Jiayin told Xu Hong the timing method of this clock.

Xu Hong listened carefully, and when Jiayin finished speaking, she nodded and smiled and said, "That's good, among other things, there is a timekeeper when cooking and eating, which saves a person from staring at me."

Jiayin picked up the lantern next to her and said, "Auntie, look at this, isn't it much brighter than an oil lamp?"

It was only then that Xu Hong realized that the lamps lit in the room today were not oil lamps. She was attracted by the pile of things on the table just now, and didn't pay attention to the shelf next to her.

Xu Hong took it and held it in her hand for a while, "This lamp is good. It should be more useful than a lantern when it looks bright. It must be better to take it to illuminate the road when you come back at night."

Jiayin nodded, she just thought that the closing time of restaurants is very late every day, and sometimes it is even more so when encountering customers who drink late.

My aunt and the others always lit up lanterns when they came back. This one is brighter than a lantern, so it can be used even in restaurants.

Jiayin fiddled with the music box for them again.

In the afternoon, they took Xu Hong's little brother to play all afternoon, and the winding part of the music box was not as difficult as before.

Xu Hong listened to the ding-ding-dong-dong sound coming from the music box, and looked at the little figure dancing back and forth on it, and couldn't help admiring it.

"This Inca country is very powerful. It actually made such a delicate thing."

Everyone nodded and told them what they saw and heard in Hainan County, as well as what happened in the Four Seasons Valley.

Show Xu Hong the fruits picked from the Four Seasons Valley one by one, as well as the Yuewangtou and some other ingredients they bought in Hainan County.

Seeing the fruit and those ingredients, Xu Hong's eyes lit up.

The seafood they sent back before, after she fiddled with it a few times at home, she sold it in the restaurant.

At that time, it was very popular with customers, but the quantity was not large and the price was high, so it was sold for a few days and there were no more.

Now they have brought back so many dry goods, enough to sell for dozens of days.

But Xu Hong still sighed and said, "Hey~ It would be great if there is someone who specializes in shipping seafood to this place. These things are very popular here, and the price can be sold up."

Jiayin's eyes lit up and said: "That's easy to say! You can let Boss Ying go there, let the people of Tianzun Temple and the fishermen of Mijing Village collect it, and let Boss Ying bring it back after harvesting."
