Chapter 67 Magistrate
At this moment, there was a sound of gongs and drums from behind the crowd. Everyone turned around and saw people dressed as lion dancers coming towards the barbecue restaurant.

They didn't stop until they reached the entrance of the barbecue restaurant. Su Chenyu came up from behind and said, "Congratulations to Grandpa Xu on the opening of the new store. Chenyu specially invited a lion dance to celebrate. I hope our barbecue restaurant will have a prosperous business!" After he finished, the secret guard behind him held a box covered with red silk and delivered it to Mr. Xu.

The old man asked in surprise, "Chen Yu, what is this?"

Su Chenyu said, "This is to congratulate the opening of the new store. I send you a congratulatory gift. I hope Grandpa Xu will accept it."

Mr. Xu also knew that Su Chenyu was trying to show face to them, so he accepted it and returned it to Su Chenyu in private!

So Mr. Xu took the gift box with both hands and said, "Thank you Chenyu!" Although Su Chenyu is also one of the owners of the barbecue restaurant, the shop is still under the name of Qibao, and the boss is also Qibao.

Suddenly there was another sound in the crowd, and Jing Chen led a group of people, setting off firecrackers all the way to the entrance of the barbecue restaurant. He was also holding a big box, and he didn't know what was inside, and came to Mr. Xu. , cupped his hands and said: "Grandpa Xu, this is a gift from the younger generation to congratulate the opening of our store. It is a jade toad, which is just right to be placed on the counter!"

Night Breeze opened the box, and there was a jade toad made of white jade inside, shining dazzlingly in the sun.

Everyone around took a breath. This toad was carved from a whole piece of white jade. A small piece is rare, let alone such a large piece. This is mutton-fat jade, worth thousands of gold.

The Xu family was also shocked. Mr. Xu said, "Jing Chen, this is too valuable, just take it back!"

"Yeah, yeah" echoed others.

Jing Chen said, "Grandpa Xu, I also have a share in this barbecue restaurant. Just treat it as the table I bought for my own store."

Others had nothing to say, and Jing Chen's words were not bad either.

Seeing that the Xu family was not saying anything, Jing Chen motioned to Ye Feng to place the jade toad on the counter.

Mr. Xu saw a large group of people gathered at the door, so he said, "Our store is open today. Now there are people who want to try my barbecue. Come in and find a seat. If it's late, there will be no seats."

After hearing this, the onlookers all entered the barbecue restaurant in a hurry, and each took their family and friends to find a seat to sit down. The waiters in the store hurriedly started pouring tea and ordering dishes for the guests.

A man dressed like a student looked at the store and said, "This is my first time seeing a store like this. The paintings on the wall are really interesting. This is my first time seeing paintings with such a style!"

"Yes, yes, I don't know if this barbecue restaurant tastes as good as the old man said!"

"You'll know after you try it. Even if it doesn't taste good, it's worth seeing these paintings!"

At this moment, there was a burst of exclamation from the people in the box, and everyone gathered around the door of the box to look curiously.

Those students finally squeezed into the box and saw that the walls of the box were painted with rosy plum blossoms. They were so delicate and beautiful that they seemed to have smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms. They couldn't help but sigh: "What a painting!" They had never seen it before. No one can draw the spirit of self-improvement of plum blossoms. It is truly a masterpiece. Today is an eye-opener for them.

"And this poem, it's really amazing! Who is such a talented and accomplished person who can write poems? There is a huge difference between us and him."

There are many wise people who say: "This box is like this, then the other boxes must be even more exciting!"

Those who were obsessed with literary talent immediately ran to other rooms to watch. In this way, there were one or two exclamations from time to time throughout the barbecue restaurant.

The waiters who served the dishes were helpless. All the dishes were served, but there was no one on the table.Mr. Xu said loudly: "Dear guests, can we enjoy these paintings slowly after dinner? You see, our guys can't even serve the food. Please forgive me!"

After hearing this, the guests were too embarrassed to continue to gather around the door of the box. They all returned to their seats. A few people who were obsessed with poetry asked the shopkeeper to borrow paper and pen to copy down all the verses they had just read.

The illiterate guests did not understand the things that these literati liked, so they could only focus on the food and began to grill the meat like other guests who had already started to eat.

When everyone took the first bite, they all started to praise, "This roasted meat is really delicious. It's different from the barbecued meat I've eaten before!"

"Yeah, I don't know what kind of seasoning this is, but as long as it is sprinkled on the meat, the fragrance will almost make your tongue swallow it!"

There are also many people who are too busy eating to talk, all of which prove the deliciousness of barbecue.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a beard and a gentle manner came in from the door, wearing an official uniform, followed by two government officials.

When shopkeeper Zhang saw the visitor, he hurriedly walked around the counter, knelt down and saluted, "I have met the county magistrate!"

The man who was called the county magistrate said, "No need to be polite, I wonder if Mr. Su is here?"

Shopkeeper Zhang quickly replied: "Sir, here, I will go to the backyard to inform Mr. Su!"

The county magistrate quickly said: "No need, you take me directly to see Mr. Su." He was joking, how could he let Su Chenyu come to greet him, unless he didn't want to be an official anymore.

When the Xu family heard that the county magistrate was coming, they hurried towards the backyard. When they saw shopkeeper Zhang coming in with a middle-aged man in official uniform, they knew that this was the county magistrate and they knelt down to salute.

Upon seeing this, the county magistrate quickly stopped and said, "You don't have to be polite. I am congratulating you on the opening of your new store. I have given you a few small gifts. Please accept them."

Everyone in the Xu family looked at each other, and Mr. Xu said, "Sir, how can I accept your gift? Please take it back."

The county magistrate said, "No problem, just take it. I wonder where Mr. Su is?"

The Xu family was originally confused as to why they had alerted the county magistrate to come personally to deliver gifts even though they had a shop. But now that they heard the county magistrate ask this question, they suddenly understood that they were here for Su Chenyu.Uncle Xu quickly ran to call Su Chenyu.

After a while, Su Chenyu came out of the room and raised his eyebrows when he saw the county magistrate.

The county magistrate hurriedly came forward and said, "Mr. Su, I came here today specifically to wish you good luck with the opening of your new store. If I can be of any use, please send someone to let me know!" He knew that Su Chenyu had not told anyone. Tell his true identity, so you can't reveal it yourself.

Su Chenyu said, "Well, I won't stay in Huamen Town for long, so the magistrate will help take care of this barbecue restaurant. This restaurant is opened by me and the Xu family, do you know?"

The county magistrate understood the meaning of Su Chenyu's words and responded repeatedly, "I know, I know!"

Su Chenyu said, "Then please invite Magistrate Wu to try our barbecue at noon. Is Magistrate Wu free?"

Magistrate Wu quickly replied, "If you have time, thank you Mr. Su and Mr. Xu for your hospitality."
