Chapter 710 Exploding Popularity
Gu Liuyun felt that he seemed to be neglected, so he stayed secretly in the private kitchen all the time, and wanted to hang around her, talking to her to attract her attention.

He Lanshan was helpless, but she had no choice but to let him go. After a while, Gu Liuyun left, and she was at peace for a while.

After Gu Liuyun left, Xiaokui asked He Lanshan curiously, "Miss, you didn't cook private dishes before, so it's because of Young Master Ye, right?"

Looking at He Lanshan and Gu Liuyun's sweet appearance today, Xiaokui thought in her heart, it must be what they said at home that day, otherwise her lady would not suddenly change her mind and come back to cook for herself.

Xiaokui thought to herself that not only did He Lanshan's decision that night surprised He Jinyi and Zhao Shuangxi, but she also ordered herself to correct all the rumors that had been spread the next day.

"Shhh!" He Lanshan raised her head and glanced at Xiao Kui, she just let her know about it, but she was not allowed to say it in front of He Jinyi, Zhao Shuangxi and others.

He Jinyi and Zhao Shuangxi still thought that she had already decided that the new year would be over soon, and the officials who had been released would all return to the capital. The capital would definitely become lively soon, so she didn't make such a fuss about her private cooking, but this was really true. It brought unexpected surprises, and it was surprisingly effective in promoting Shixiang Pavilion.

Now Shixiang Pavilion is very popular every day, and many people who can’t get in the private kitchen will go to the restaurant downstairs to try something new. Some people refuse to eat in the restaurant downstairs, and even send people over. Discuss with He Jinyi whether it is possible to add a few more tables or go through the back door and put these people's tables in the front row first.

Regarding this matter, He Jinyi and Zhao Shuangxi also went home to discuss with He Lanshan. They asked He Lanshan if he had any good ideas.

He Lanshan thought about it carefully, and suggested that during this period, more daily ingredients could be prepared. In addition, the opening hours of the restaurant could be extended, and they would not close until Haishi.

In addition, she also suggested that before the New Year's Eve, maybe the day's private kitchen can be added to five tables. Anyway, it is only during this time that the popularity is overwhelming, and it is okay for her to suffer a little bit.

He Jinyi and Zhao Shuangxi had no objection to extending the opening hours. At most, they would just pay more for the waiter and the hired cooks. As for them, they were not afraid of hard work.

What they were more worried about was He Lanshan's situation. They worried that the private kitchen would increase from the original three tables to five tables, and it would take a long time, and she might not be able to bear it.

"Lanshan, if there are five tables a day, can you bear it?" Zhao Shuangxi was a little worried. After all, she was a girl. Although her cooking skills were incomparable to others, her strength was much worse than those of male chefs. , Five tables a day, I am afraid that if it is not for cooking, the hands will shake.

He Lanshan was mentally prepared for this, she nodded towards Zhao Shuangxi, and said very affirmatively, "Mother, don't worry, I can hold on."

Seeing her insistence, He Jinyi and Zhao Shuangxi felt a little distressed, but they felt that what He Lanshan said was right, not all the time of the year would have so many guests, it depends on the time to make money, and now is the best time , They all gritted their teeth and persisted.

The family happily reached a unified opinion, and He Jinyi released the news of the change the next day.

He Lanshan also asked people to write this change on a large wooden sign, and then put it up at the door. Many customers who came to the store read it and conveyed it to each other. There is an endless stream until the store closes every day.

The business is doing well, and the daily income in the store can almost double the normal income. Everyone in the store is exhausted every day, but when they think of the money in their pockets will increase, they are full of energy. Even if you are tired, you can hold on.

There are still three or five days until the New Year's Eve, Zhao Shuangxi called He Lanshan to his room in a mysterious manner after having dinner in the evening.

As soon as He Lanshan entered, Zhao Shuangxi quickly closed the door, and at the same time asked He Jinyi to take out the account book of Shixiang Pavilion, and put it in front of her.

"Look, Lanshan." Zhao Shuangxi couldn't hide the joy on her face. He Lanshan guessed the reason why she was so happy at a glance. It must be that the restaurant's business has improved recently and she is making a lot of money, so she laughed. so happy.

Sure enough, as soon as He Lanshan opened the account book and took a look, she found that the net income this month had really exceeded her expectations.

He Lanshan did some calculations and took away the money that was going to Lu Qingrou and Mu Qianjiao, and there was still a lot left.

Just as she was counting, Zhao Shuangxi had already taken a stack of banknotes and stuffed them into her hands, and said happily, "I'll go and exchange them for banknotes, my dear girl, you will give them to you."

He Lanshan took it and counted it. In addition to asking her to hand it over to Lu Qingrou and Mu Qianjiao, Zhao Shuangxi actually gave her 5000 taels of silver.

"Mom, I still have money, why are you giving me so much money!" He Lanshan didn't like storing a lot of money with her, so she wanted to return it to her.

"Isn't the Chinese New Year coming soon? Use the money to buy whatever you need or like." Zhao Shuangxi smiled brightly. He Lanshan was a little surprised to see her so generous. It seems that the family is really well-off now. Quite a few, even such frugal people suddenly became bold.

He Lanshan thought about the New Year's Eve soon, and there were indeed a lot of places to use money. If she asked Zhao Shuangxi to ask for it every time, she really agreed that it would be inconvenient to delay things, so she agreed to accept it.

After the mother and daughter happily counted the money, He Jinyi came over and lit another lamp, and the room became brighter all of a sudden.

He Jinyi also sat down, just to discuss with them, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so what preparations should be made.

This was the first year they lived here after they came to Beijing and opened Shixiang Pavilion, so they were both excited and nervous.

When it came to Chinese New Year, Zhao Shuangxi immediately said that she had something to say. In the past few days, she had taken the time to inquire about the New Year's customs in the capital. They all said that if one goes to the village, do as the Romans do, and she must let the family live a decent New Year in the capital.

He Lanshan listened for a while, and suddenly thought that the elder brothers will be on vacation from the academy tomorrow, and they can stay at home for a while, and new couplets will be posted on the gates of the house and Shixiang Pavilion. It's time for them to show off their talents.

As soon as her suggestion was put forward, it was immediately supported by Zhao Shuangxi and He Jinyi. They all said that the red paper for writing couplets had already been prepared, and they could show their skills when He Qinfeng and the others came back tomorrow.

"Let the eldest brother and the others write a copy, and then put one on each door. It can be used as a publicity highlight, and it can also let everyone judge who writes better." He Lanshan frowned, feeling that this year It must be a very interesting thing to write Spring Festival couplets and paste Spring Festival couplets.
