Because of the matter of that house, Qian Lixiang's opening day was delayed.The reorganized Qianlixiang shop will reopen tomorrow.In order to create momentum, Liang Yuzhong went to talk to the patrolman on North Street. Diagonally opposite the shop entrance, under the big ginkgo tree, he built a small wooden stage that could accommodate four or five people.

Sun Yubao specially invited the troupe of shadow puppetry, and planned to perform three performances in a row during the first three nights of the opening.As long as this news spreads in Xiaobeimen Market, it will soon spread to the streets and alleys of Wanghai County.

Because it was an old shop reopened, they didn't send out invitations to Wending and the others, but because they had already learned about the renovation and rectification, the big guys in the shop discussed it, and for the sake of safety, they made a reservation in advance at a restaurant on this street. box room.

But = the next day, when the new shop officially opened amidst the roar of firecrackers, Jin Xi unexpectedly discovered that many people came to congratulate her.

Wending came with Uncle Fu and brought congratulatory gifts. Liang Lihui also came, and brought Li Sheng, the foreman of the county government office that he had met twice.Liang Yuzhong and Sun Yubao were greatly surprised and delighted, and led the congratulatory guests to the pre-booked restaurant for tea.

Here, beside the stage under the big ginkgo tree, there are a lot of half-grown children who are watching the excitement. On the opposite side of the Qianlixiang shop, Sun Yuxia and Sun Yubao are busy in the shop introducing the shop to passing customers. new quotes from .

In the remodeled shop, on the left hand side of the entrance, there is a long row of half-meter-high desks next to the wall. There are more than a dozen large holes carved into the desks, and an iron pot is placed in each large hole.There are various dishes in the pot. Under the desk, there are two large iron stoves that can slide freely. There is a fire in the stove, which is used to move and heat the big iron pots above at any time. Therefore, the dishes in these iron pots , all steaming hot.

At one end of the long desk, on top of the steaming compartment of the large steamer, several stacks of blue bamboo tubes are neatly stacked. The aroma of the food seeps out from the small holes in the bamboo tubes, mixed with the unique fragrance of green bamboo in the mountains, very refreshing. Can whet the appetite.There are also wooden bucket lids of different sizes on the side.

On the right side, also against the wall, there are four or five long tables with high stools for customers to sit and eat.

"Fifteen cents, one meat and two vegetables. Twenty cents, two meat and two vegetables, thirty cents, three meat and three vegetables, eat and eat!" Sun Yuxia yelled hard, standing behind the long desk on the left, "Bamboo tube rice is delicious and healthy. Wooden barrel rice has a lot of food and vegetables, and it is very affordable. Claypot rice and iron plate rice are served with fragrant big bone soup!"

Because there is still an hour before noon, most of the shops are fresh.On the contrary, under the shed outside the shop, Sun Dahu was standing behind the grill, sizzling charcoal fire in the grill, flipping bunches of colorful food in his hands, while Ah Fu was helping.On the shelf behind them, a bunch of food skewered with long bamboo sticks was arranged in an orderly manner.

The meat slices are thin, the small fish are warped, the rice cakes are porcelain white, the vegetables are bright, and there are various shapes, colors, and tastes of meatballs.After flipping and roasting, sprinkle some spicy spices, or dip a little sweet peanut butter and sesame sauce, the rich aroma wafts in the air, and after a while, the attracted diners will surround the grill with water. .

And when asked about the price, vegetarian dishes cost three yuan per skewer, barbecue meat only five yuan per skewer, grilled chicken legs and grilled fish, the most expensive is only ten yuan, the price of five steamed buns.As a result, many of the passers-by who were watching ordered the food they wanted and handed it to Sun Dahu for barbecue.

"Miss, the old man and the others are here." Ah Cai squeezed in from the front intersection, and whispered to Jin Xi who was standing outside the shop looking at everything.

Jin Xi was slightly surprised, Liang Yuzhong was greeting Wending and the others in the restaurant, Jin Xi hurriedly led A Cai to the front.

On the other side of the road, Old Liang was walking steadily towards the tightly packed crowd with his hands behind his back. Mrs. Tan followed him, holding the timid brother Nian by his hand.Behind them, Liang Yulin, Liang Yuzhou, and Liang Lisheng followed. Liang Yuzhou held a firecracker in his hand, and Liang Lisheng held a stack of gifts in his hand.A few people came here excitedly, Liang Yulin seemed to be introducing something to Lao Liangtou and the others while walking, and Lao Liangtou nodded from time to time.

"Master, grandma!" Jin Xi trotted up to meet them, greeted them one by one, led them into the shop, and at the same time explained today's reception arrangements, Tan's face nodded calmly at Jin Xi , Brother Nian's eyes fell on the stage over there, his dark eyes were full of curiosity.

"Brother Nian, come to see the shadow puppet show with grandma at night, I'll save a good spot for you!" Jin Xi grabbed the wedding candy and put it in Brother Nian's hand, smiling.

Brother Nian blinked, with yearning in his eyes, but he glanced at Mrs. Tan.

There was a relaxed smile on Tan's face, and she didn't say a word, as if she acquiesced.

Both Sun Yuxia and Sun Yubao came to greet Old Liangtou and the others, and then went back to work. Old Liangtou led the big guys around the shop, touched this, looked at that, and nodded in satisfaction.He pulled out the dry tobacco pole from his waist and said, "You are opening today, and we happen to be in the county seat, so naturally we have to come and have a look. Let's open a restaurant, don't underestimate the decoration of the seats and chopsticks. There is a sense of familiarity at a glance, so that diners just want to come in and enjoy it once they pass by the door!"

"There is a saying that when Zhong Kui opens a shop, ghosts don't come to the door. Is that what Dad meant?" Ever since Liang Yulin entered the renovated shop and saw the crowded diners outside, his heart turned sour, and he tried to make up for it. Come on.

"Second brother, shut up if you don't know how to say auspicious words, your third brother's shop is opening today, why is Zhong Kui not Zhong Kui!" Tan Shi shouted at Liang Yulin in a low voice.

Liang Yulin twitched the corners of his mouth, and kept his mouth shut.

"Well, this shop looks pretty good, and the location is good! Here, girl Xi, there is a firecracker over there. There are a lot of diners at the moment, and I will set off the firecrackers when the stage opens at night, adding joy! You two The things in my brother's hands are congratulations from grandma and grandma, so you have to accept them!" Old Liangtou beckoned Jin Xi, and said, Tan Shi nodded beside him.

Jin Xi was really surprised this time, before the opening of two shops in the town, or the ground breaking of a new house, the erection of beams, and the old Liangtou, they didn't show any signs of it!This time, the sun really came out from the west!

Since it was kindness, Jin Xi naturally showed no disrespect, happily accepted the gift, and then personally sent Lao Liangtou and Mrs. Tan to that restaurant.

This meal was a rare feast for the host and guests. That night, when the first shadow puppet show started, Mrs. Tan really brought Nian over. Jin Xi brought a high stool and found it at the front of the stage. good location.

With the explosion of the firecrackers and the sound of gongs and drums, the first shadow puppet show started, and the performance was Wu Song fighting a tiger.Those who sat under the stage were surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. Because of the pre-registration and the care of the head of the county government, Li, the guards in the North Street area would occasionally come to maintain order. Stand aside from the crowd for a moment, in case someone deliberately causes confusion.In addition, Acai and Afu, who are talented, have been watching from the sidelines to prevent people from trampling on them.

Mrs. Tan sat at the front with Brother Nian, very comfortable, and most of the spectators on the left and right were elderly women, and they chatted together soon.Seeing that Miss Jinxi, the patron who invites the neighbors to play, comes here from time to time to pour water for Tan's sweet tea and bring snacks, they are very envious.

"That's my granddaughter, a direct relative!" Taking advantage of Jinxi's refilling of tea and turning to leave, Mrs. Tan said this to the old women on the left and right, and naturally won the envy of the old women on the left and right and admiration.

Tan sat there with her usual expression, her eyes followed the martial arts animation projected behind the curtain on the stage, but there was an imperceptible smile on the corner of her mouth, and the smile went from her face to her eyes.

At the end of the first scene, Liang Yuzhong sent Mrs. Tan and Brother Nian back to the inn. Brother Nian fell asleep. Liang Yuzhong took off his coat and covered him, and carried him on his back. Jinxi was holding a lantern beside him. According to the road, Ah Cai kept a few steps away and followed behind.

While walking, Mrs. Tan said to Liang Yuzhong: "The house was handed over to a dental firm for sale. If you want to sell it at a reasonable price, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for the news. Your father and I have planned to sell it tomorrow. It’s really not good to set off for Jinji Mountain early in the morning and spend one more day in this county inn.”

Liang Yuzhong nodded and said, "Father is right. When will you leave tomorrow? I'll drive a carriage to pick you up."

Mrs. Tan waved her hand and said: "At the time when the family was separated, we talked about it. From now on, the relationship between each house and the walks with relatives will be taken care of by each house. Right now, girl Lan has just fallen into the moon, and I Since you and your father are both in the county seat, if you don’t visit Lan Yatou and the newly added great-grandson, not only will it be unreasonable, but you will also feel uneasy.”

Liang Yuzhong listened silently, nodding when Mrs. Tan said something.

"Your father and I have made up our minds that we might as well delay it for one more day. Tomorrow happens to be a double day. I want to do some shopping and ask Miss Xi to accompany me to Miss Lan's place," Tan said.

Liang Yuzhong turned his head to look at Jinxi, Jinxi was holding a lantern while illuminating the road, but she was roughly estimating in her mind how much profit the shop would make today, when suddenly both Liang Yuzhong and Tan stopped to look at her, causing her to Slightly startled.

"Girl Xi, I will go to your sister Lan'er with my grandmother tomorrow morning, and I will go and see their mother and child." Seeing Jin Xi's appearance, Mrs. Tan guessed that she was not paying attention, so she repeated what she said just now.

Jin Xi nodded straightforwardly, this small favor does not hinder anything, she is willing to go with her.Tan Shi nodded, turned around and continued walking, all the way to the inn that Liang Lihui had booked, Tan Shi didn't speak anymore.
