Chapter 126 Opening

The sound of firecrackers stopped, and the neatly dressed women in the store brought trays of pre-fried chicken legs, crispy chicken, grilled chicken wings, chicken rolls, etc. to the counter.

The rich aroma of fried food swept across the audience in an instant, and the crowd immediately asked one after another, "What are you selling here? How much is it?"

The job of explaining is the responsibility of Manager Lu. I saw that the person who typed the draft for two or three days responded smoothly, and soon a wave of customers entered the store.

An Xu followed Mrs. Rong and Granny Zhao who had just arrived, and they had already sat down in the private room on the second floor.

Mrs. Rong looked at the exquisitely furnished private room, and said, "Although it is the first day of opening, it really shouldn't be so low. If so many people come in, the people from the noble family will not be happy." Set foot."

An Xu poured a cup of Bobo milk tea for each of them, and said with a smile: "My store is originally a civilian line, and the nobles have too many things to do, and the shop assistants have to serve them like servants, but they may not be able to make more money. How many."

There is resentment in these words.

Mrs. Rong and Granny Zhao looked at each other. It is impossible for them not to have heard about what happened to the Shen family yesterday, but this is the end of the matter, and there is nothing to say.

Mrs. Rong smiled and said: "That's right, for you girl, in fact, anyone's money is easy to make."

Just as he was thinking about how to bring up the topic of the Shen family, Xie Xie undid this girl, and the magpie ran over and said, "Miss, Mrs. Gu is here."

"You go to greet me." Mrs. Rong picked up the milk tea and slowly sipped it, and it's the same when I talk about it later.

An Xu and Mrs. Gu did not know each other very well. After meeting, they greeted politely and led them to the private room next to them.

Mrs. Gu looked around, smiled and said, "Not bad."

Since he took Zong Che as his younger brother, he had met earlier, Mr. Gu saw that An Xu was like an elder, and asked some questions about fried chicken.

He told her that she was in trouble, and then picked up a fried chicken leg and started to eat it.

Mrs. Gu looked funny, and said to An Xu, "I made you laugh."

An Xu hurriedly said, "No."

From the very beginning, she knew that Mrs. Gu liked to eat, so she pushed a plate of cream cakes, and said to Mrs. Gu: "This is our family's specialty, you can try it."

Mrs. Gu picked up the wooden spoon next to the plate and took a small sip, her eyes lit up.

"Sweet and soft, it is indeed very distinctive."

"This milk tea is also delicious," Master Gu reminded, "Try it, Madam."

It is easy to get tired of fried chicken with milk tea, but An Xu has no way to make cola.

While chatting and laughing, Partridge hurriedly opened the door and came in, leaning into An Xu's ear and saying: "Miss, there is another order from the palace, this time it is for you, and you are already home."

An Xu's good mood fell to the bottom in an instant, and he raised his head and was about to say sorry to Master Gu and his wife.

Gu Wei had already waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, I knew about it before I came. Oh yes, don't forget to give a red envelope to the eunuch who delivered the decree."

An Xu nodded, went to the next door to talk to Mrs. Rong and Granny Zhao, went downstairs and got in a carriage to drive to Zhuangyuan Mansion.

When the curtain was lowered, he saw Shen Xiao who was queuing up in the crowd, and he happened to look over. The two looked at each other, and neither of them spoke.

The magpie followed closely and said, "Miss, I have already told the aunts not to sell anything to the Shen family."

An Xu laughed: "Why don't you make money if you have money?"

"Then I'll go back and say something again?" Magpie said.

"Forget it, talk about it tomorrow."

It took a long time for the carriage to drive out of Donghuaihua Lane, and soon walked along the main street to the road of the inner city.

There were several horses parked at the gate of Zhuangyuan's mansion, and Little Rotor was waiting at the gate. When he saw the family's carriage coming back, he hurried forward to help lead the horses.

The little rotor said: "Miss, the incense table has been set up, you can go in quickly."

The gate of Zhuangyuan Mansion was open, and there were many people standing inside, all dressed in palace clothes.

An Xu walked in and turned around to face a standing man in blue cloth. This man had a beardless face and an invisible majesty around him. He should be a eunuch in charge of people.

"Miss An, accept the order." Eunuch Liang said with a smile.

An Xu has never knelt down since he came to this era, and he didn't react when he heard this.

Eunuch Liang glanced at the girl suspiciously, thinking that she was from the countryside, so she didn't understand etiquette.

But the imperial decree cannot be received standing up, this is a privilege that no one has.

Eunuch Liang reminded: "Miss An, kneel down to accept the order."

Zong Che came here at this time. He got off his horse, threw down his whip and walked in quickly, shouting, "Eunuch Liang, it's not convenient for her. I'm here to pick you up."

Eunuch Liang took a look at An Xu, the decree was for Miss An.

Zong Che had already lifted his outer robe and knelt on the ground, with his hands stretched out, "I will accept the order."

Well, that's it.

After announcing the imperial decree and putting down a bunch of rewards, Eunuch Liang left the Zhuangyuan Mansion with a group of eunuchs and guards with a smile.

After returning to the palace and explaining the matter, Emperor Shuntai said in surprise: "This Aiqing, really likes that country girl so much that he wants to kneel down instead of her?"

Is this simply because he doesn't want his sweetheart to kneel down, or does he not want the other party to kneel down?
Eunuch Liang looked at the emperor's face and knew that this was dissatisfaction with Zong Zhuangyuan. He thought that since he entered the palace, he had always respected himself, a big eunuch in the eyes of others.

Then he defended, "I don't think so, the old slave, that woman is from the country, and she doesn't know anything about the etiquette of receiving orders, Mr. Zong is probably worried about missing something."

These words relieved Emperor Shuntai's displeasure, and said regretfully: "Zong Che is such a talented person, how could he fall in love with a vulgar woman?"

"Your Majesty, didn't you say that Mr. Zong was able to study because of the woman's money to support him? Maybe it's because of gratitude." Eunuch Liang said unintentionally.

Emperor Shuntai nodded, "It's good to know how to repay kindness. Compared with capable officials, he prefers to know how to repay kindness."

"How about this, in order not to make people laugh, my courtiers can only marry a peasant girl, you go and tell the queen, tell her to go to the Zhuangyuan's mansion to make a decree, what to give, to be named a township monarch."

At this moment in the Zhuangyuan Mansion, An Xu looked at the imperial decree and a pile of things on the table, and said, "It took so much effort, just to praise me? To show you face?"

Zong Che said: "Be patient, that's how the current style is."

An Xu was so hung up that he didn't say a word about being boring. No wonder Huang Lao thought that one of the most important requirements for a ruler is to rule by doing nothing.

People shouldn't be saying that the emperor should not do anything, but that he should mind his own business.

Just like a folk saying, if you are not deaf or dumb, you will not be the head of the family. As the head of the family, you must intervene in everything. If you are not tired, the people below are still tired.

If you have time to spare, go to the people to see for yourself, see how many meals the people eat a day, and what they eat, it is no better than dictating a courtier's marriage.

Zong Che casually grabbed An Xu's hand and shook it, and said, "I'm sure I won't be able to touch anyone on my side, the emperor probably won't bother me anymore."

An Xu lowered his eyes and looked at Zong Che's hand.

His hand feels a little bigger than it was three years ago, with slender fingers, dry and warm palm, very comfortable to the touch.

But An Xu felt very awkward.

Zong Che followed her gaze to look at the two hands that were clasped together, and said with a smile, "Sorry, I forgot. Men and women can't kiss each other."

Seeing his expression, An Xu felt the urge to roll his eyes.

"I've got to go back to the store and have a look."

She stood up.

Zong Che said: "I happen to be in the Yamen, so I will go with you."

An Xu nodded: "Let's go."

When I returned to the shop, there were three layers of people in front of the fried chicken shop.

An Xu managed to squeeze into the shop through a side door. After seeing it, even Mr. Gu was helping to collect the money, and she couldn't find anyone to ask, so she had to go to the milk tea shop that was not busy for the time being.

"I want one big drumstick and two small chicken drumsticks." A young man came up to the front, took out his purse and asked, "Is it worth twelve yuan for a big chicken drumstick, and six yuan for a small chicken drumstick?"

"Yes, yes," said the woman who was busy wrapping chicken legs, "All prices are [-]% off today, and the original price will be restored tomorrow."

Manager Lu reminded: "Don't just buy chicken legs, this chicken leg burger is also delicious. There are also our burritos, fried chicken nuggets, and grilled chicken wings, all of which are more expensive and better."

The young man saw a basket of golden cubes, and he could imagine the crispy aroma in his mouth just by looking at them, so he asked, "Is this fried chicken nuggets? How much is it?"

"It's a big bag of two pennies." Manager Lu replied, then took a piece of oil paper that had been cut out, and looked at the young man.

The young man didn't expect there to be cheaper ones, and thinking about the large number of people in his family, he said directly, "I want two packs."

"Okay," Steward Lu used the prepared volume to fill up two bulging bags, "Chenghui 28 Wen."

The young man paid the money and came out with three hot packages. He was speechless when he saw that there were so many people blocking the door.

"This is a heavy chicken leg." An old man who was watching from the crowd pulled the young man who had just come out and asked, "I heard it was deep-fried?"

The young man opened a crack in the greased paper and showed it to the old man.

"It's golden and golden. I've never seen a fried chicken with such a beautiful color. Today, when the store opens, it's [-]% off. Such a big chicken leg costs only twelve cents."

The old man thought to himself that twelve renminbi is not cheap, but half of the Cao’s distiller’s lees chicken on the street costs 36 renminbi.

So if you want to give a toothbrush to the little grandson at home, you should choose this one.

The old man raised his neck and squinted at the plaque on the door.

Anjia Fried Chicken.

The old man didn't dare to squeeze with others, so he lined up at the back. When he arrived, it was already late in the afternoon, and inside the facade with half-person-high windows, several large frames were empty.

"Gone?"

Asked together with several people who were behind the old man.

Many of those who bought fried chicken drumsticks ate and walked away, which also caused the people waiting behind to swallow an unknown amount of saliva.

The tender and juicy chicken is wrapped in the golden shell. If you can't eat it today, you have to think about it in your dreams.
