Chapter 21 Membership
The young man's surname is Zhao, so he is called Shopkeeper Zhao. Since he came to Gu Xiyue's restaurant, he has been busy up and down with due diligence.

After he came, Gu Xiyue's daily workload decreased.

Shopkeeper Zhao supervised the renovation every day, and also made various suggestions for Gu Xiyue's restaurant business.

He even had nothing to do on weekdays, and even helped Gu Xiyue find out where there is good wine and where there is a different umami taste.

"Ma'am, I went back to my hometown recently, and finally found the wine Madam asked for."

I saw him take out a jar of good wine and said mysteriously, "No one in the capital has ever drunk this wine, as long as you open it, it will be fragrant for ten miles."

"I promise, no one can make such a good wine."

Gu Xiyue curiously opened it and sniffed it, and instantly the restaurant was filled with the aroma of wine, which made Gu Xiyue very happy.

I just heard her ask, "Where do you get good wine?"

"It was taken from my father's wine cellar. Our ancestors were court winemakers. Unfortunately, they were murdered by traitors and ended up in ruins. To avoid causing disaster, my father never made wine for others to drink."

Shopkeeper Zhao said with a chuckle, "This time, I'm going to be soft and hard for the wine."

"That's right, I will buy wine from your father from now on. If your father is afraid of causing trouble, he can go to Ye Wang Mansion to find me."

"Yes, ma'am."

Shopkeeper Zhao continued, "Ma'am, I have also made a recipe for you. This capital city has a lot of delicacies, but there is one word xian missing."

"Rich people eat more meat, but eating too much meat is inevitably hot and dry, so I visited the nearby villages."

"This Chunri bamboo shoots and mushrooms come out, which can be described as a delicacy, but it can be added to Chunri's recipes."

Gu Xiyue nodded in satisfaction.

Shopkeeper Zhao and Gu Xiyue worked out two sets of recipes together, and one was an ordinary recipe.

One set is a membership recipe called Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

Ordinary recipes are some ordinary dishes, which depends on the chef's craftsmanship.

The member menus for spring, summer, autumn and winter change according to the seasons, and the dishes in it are regularly updated and changed, which is simply a new idea.

Moreover, Gu Xiyue also spent a lot of money to ask shopkeeper Zhao to find someone to go to other places, just to learn about foreign food.

What she wants to do is not a simple restaurant, but a unique restaurant that brings together delicacies from all over the world.

The first floor of the restaurant is the lobby, the second floor is four private rooms with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and the rest of the small private rooms are named after Begonia, Peony, Gardenia and Yingchun.

The largest private room is called Peony. To enter this private room, ordinary people have to pay a lot of money and have an identity.

These private rooms also have different styles, each with a different new idea.

The day before the opening, Gu Xiyue started publicizing, asking children to sing nursery rhymes and walking around the streets, or sending people to hide in the crowd to stir up topics.

These have achieved the effect she wanted.

Soon it was the opening day, and the firecrackers sounded very lively, and shopkeeper Zhao smiled happily.

"Everyone, Wuhu Restaurant is open. My boss told me that there will be a [-]% discount for the three days of opening, which means that only [-] taels of silver will be charged, and each person will get a small snack."

Someone in the crowd said, "This restaurant looks good, why don't you go in and have a stroll?"

Shopkeeper Zhao said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, you can come in and have a look, we will not force consumption."

Someone made a start, and more and more people entered the restaurant.

Standing in the peony room on the second floor, Gu Xiyue could clearly see everything that happened below.

These days are busy, so she also transferred a maid to be by her side.

This servant girl's name is Su Tao, and she looks a little silly, but in fact she does things neatly and orderly.

Su Tao looked at the people entering the restaurant and said in surprise, "I didn't expect there to be so many people, Wang Hao's trick is really clever."

Originally, according to the opening of a new restaurant, few people would dare to try it, but Gu Xiyue paid someone to pretend to be a diner, and hid in the crowd to make a fuss.

Wouldn't the real diners be encouraged to come in now?

Gu Xiyue smiled slightly, "Have you learned it yet?"

Su Tao nodded quickly, "Su Tao has learned everything the princess taught me."

"Don't call me Wangfei when you are away from home, just call me Madam, it's too high-profile for Wangfei to call me."

"King... no, ma'am."

Some people looked at the two recipes and exclaimed in surprise, especially the four seasons recipes are the most attractive to diners.

Someone pointed to the Four Seasons recipe and asked, "Shopkeeper, what does the Four Seasons recipe mean?"

Shopkeeper Zhao explained, "This is exclusive to our members. As long as the guest officer spends a thousand taels of silver in our restaurant, he can be upgraded to a member and order the dishes on the four seasons menu."

"So that's it. Look, there are crayfish on the menu of the four seasons. What is this?"

Shopkeeper Zhao said mysteriously, "If the guest officer becomes a member, he will naturally know about it."

"Hot pot? Stinky tofu? Fresh fish and sheep? Crayfish? Oyster fried?"

"I've listened to some of them but haven't eaten them, which really makes people curious."

Shopkeeper Zhao on the side smiled and said nothing, revealing too much would be unbeautiful.

The opening of the restaurant on the first day was very smooth. At this time, the restaurant was closed, and shopkeeper Zhao was making calculations.

While calculating, he said, "Ma'am, there are more than [-] guest officers who have been upgraded to members today, which is really amazing."

"Especially the medicinal wine introduced by Madam, more than ten pots have been sold!"

This medicinal wine was made by Gu Xiyue by throwing a thousand times sparser elixir into an ordinary wine jar.

Ordinary people can obviously feel the effect of the medicine after drinking it, and it has the effect of strengthening the body.

If you drink it for a long time, the effect will be excellent, but Gu Xiyue sells it very expensive, a pot of thousands of taels of silver, and a pot is only as big as a palm.

But some people still bought it and tasted it, and once they tasted it, it was out of control.

It tastes good, and drinking it is good for your health. It's like a dream wine.

Today's opening made a lot of money, Gu Xiyue got on the carriage and returned home in a good mood, and left the rest to the shopkeeper Zhao to clean up.

Shopkeeper Zhao saw that Gu Xiyue trusted him so much, so he became more determined to earn money for Gu Xiyue.

It was already late at night when I returned to the palace, the housekeeper saw Gu Xiyue came back and rushed forward to greet her.

"Princess, my little master will wait for you until you fall asleep."

Gu Xiyue nodded, "I'll go see him."

Walking into Xiaobao's room, and seeing him sleeping soundly, Gu Xiyue bent down and touched his cheek.

Unexpectedly, Xiaobao woke up, and he put his arms around Gu Xiyue's neck.

His voice was still sleepy, "Is Auntie back?"

Gu Xiyue pinched the tip of his nose with a smile, "Little fool, Mommy is back, you can sleep in peace."

"it is good."

As soon as the words were finished, Xiao Bao let go of his hands and fell asleep, apparently extremely sleepy.

After leaving Xiaobao's room, Su Tao greeted him immediately.

Gu Xiyue looked at her and said, "You don't have to follow me anymore, go to rest early by yourself."

"Yes, princess."

Everyone in the house knew that the princess didn't like people watching her when she went to bed at night, so Su Tao didn't go up to show her loyalty.

Gu Xiyue went back to her room to wash up and then rested. Although the shopkeeper Zhao was busy in the restaurant, she hadn't been idle all day, so she was naturally tired.

Here, Ye Wushang was a little surprised when he heard that Gu Xiyue had returned to the mansion, and that her restaurant business was booming.

"I didn't expect my princess to have such business acumen."

He said towards the dark place, "You must protect the princess and ensure her safety, understand?"

"Yes."
