Chapter 118 Feng Mingxu comes to visit

After lighting the incense, it's time to officially open the door to welcome guests.

　　Ye Annian and Jiang Zhu stood on the left and right sides of the door respectively. They looked at each other and opened the door together.

　　Fu Zai and Ding Qiu walked out first carrying red lanterns, congratulating and saying good luck to the guests waiting outside to open the door.

　　But West Street is already remote, and it's still early, so there are five or six people standing at the door.

　　Wen Heng arrived on time, taking Zhao Da, Qian Er and four other servants with him.

　　This young master has seen a lot about the opening of the shop and knows the rules. When he heard Fu Zai and Ding Qiu saying "good health" and "all the best" to everyone, he immediately responded: "Good luck with the opening and lots of money!"

　　As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Da and Qian Er followed suit: "I wish you two bosses a prosperous business and great financial resources!"

　　Then, Ye Anian, Jiang Zhu, Yu Hu, Granny Qian, and Qing Niang also came out one after another.

　　Ye Annian and Jiang Zhu helped the two children hang red lanterns on the left and right sides of the door, indicating a booming business.

　　Under the big willow tree opposite the shop, the bullock cart had already moved away in advance. Yu Hu tied two firecrackers to the willow tree, lit them with incense, and then ran away covering his ears.

　　Suddenly, the crackling sound of firecrackers sounded throughout the alley, joy spread quickly, and smiles bloomed on everyone's faces.

　　Fu Zai covered his ears and plunged into Ye Anyian's arms, and Ye Anyian hugged him.

　　Jiang Zhu stood next to Ye Anyian and helped him cover his ears.

　　Grandma Qian smiled and pulled Ding Qiu to her side, and also helped him cover his ears.

　　Qing Niang stood leaning against the door. The white silk flower on her temples was dyed with joy by the red lantern at the door. She held the handkerchief in her hand and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

　　Yu Hu covered his ears and ran away. In a panic, he stepped on Wen Heng's foot. The young master screamed in pain, but the sound was quickly drowned out by the sound of firecrackers.

　　The sound of firecrackers continued for a long time, and the joy spread far and wide.

　　After the two firecrackers were set off, many customers who had heard the news poured in from both ends of the West Street. After a while, the five or six people standing scattered outside the shop turned into fifteen, six, and two dozen. Fifteen-sixteen, thirty-five-six...

　　Ye Annian looked at the growing number of customers and cleared his throat: "The Guangyin Shop officially opens today, everyone is welcome!"

　　As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged woman who was crowded at the front entered the shop first: "Boss, I want rabbit lanterns! I want two!"

　　She didn't get it on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The two children at home kept crying and it took them most of the night to coax them.

　　Someone started, and the people behind him rushed forward. Wen Heng quickly asked the servants to maintain order, and organized everyone to line up in pairs.

　　There was an endless stream of customers, and Ye Anian, Jiang Zhu, and Yu Hu hurried in to get busy.

　　Ye Annian and Yu Hu took goods to the customers together, while Jiang Zhu collected money and kept accounts.

People of all ages come to the shop, including young girls buying lanterns, husbands and aunts bringing their children to buy spinning tops and wooden frogs, and even an elderly man who wants to buy a Rubik's Cube to relieve his boredom.

　　Seeing that it was almost time, Ye Annian arranged the Rubik's Cube and solution drawings in his hands and said to everyone: "The new store is opening. Anyone who comes to buy a low-level Rubik's Cube today will receive a Rubik's Cube solution drawing."

　　"There are eighty low-level Rubik's Cubes in total, while supplies last!"

　　Immediately, someone queuing up behind asked loudly: "What should I do if I didn't buy it today? Will I get free drawings if I buy it another day?!"

　　"Gift. However, there are only two of us at the moment, Yu Hu and I. It takes time to make Rubik's cubes and draw drawings. Once this batch is sold out, we will have to wait for the next batch of new products." Ye Anian answered.

No one wants to wait. The first batch of blueprints are popular. By the time the next batch of Rubik's Cubes are made, the solution will have already been spread around the town, so it's not surprising.

　　Suddenly, everyone in the queue behind them, regardless of whether they had planned to buy a Rubik's Cube before, almost all changed their minds after hearing what Ye Annian said.

　　There were one hundred and twenty lanterns and eighty low-level Rubik's Cubes, almost all of which were taken away in the morning.

　　Not many of the remaining gadgets such as wooden spinning tops, wooden frogs, bamboo dragonflies, and mud screamers were sold, and I'm afraid they will be kept to be sold slowly in the future.

　　The three of them were busy and dizzy all morning. It was past lunch time and the number of people gradually decreased.

　　At the end of the morning, Yu Hu had almost figured out the prices of the goods. Ye Anian asked him to bear the price first while he hid behind the counter to rest for a while.

　　When Jiang Zhu saw him coming, he closed the account book, stood up and asked him to sit in his seat.

　　"Are you tired? Drink some water to moisten your throat."

　　He brought the tea he had just made, and Ye Anyian took his hand directly and drank most of the bowl. It seemed that he was really thirsty.

　　After drinking the water, Ye Anyian felt like he was alive and asked Jiang Zhu, "How much have we earned?"

　　"So many." Jiang Zhu teased him, "I can't even keep track of my accounts."

　　"Then hurry up and take a rest. You'll probably be busy in the afternoon." Ye Anian said seriously.

　　"I'm not tired." Jiang Zhu rested his chin on the counter with one hand and looked at Ye Anyian, "Are you hungry? Let's eat something first."

　　The bowl of wontons he had eaten in the morning had long been digested. Ye Anyian touched his stomach and found that he was indeed hungry.

　　"Okay, then let's go to Grandma Qian's house and have a look."

　　Jiang Zhu put away the account books and followed Ye Annian out.

　　Finally, when I came out of the shop, I saw Wei Feng and Ye Xiaomei, who were playing with their two children.

　　"Brother Nian, you're done." Ye Xiaomei caught a glimpse of them coming out of the shop and greeted them.

　　"Second sister, second brother-in-law." Ye Anyian called, "When did you come? Why don't you go in?"

　　"I arrived in the morning. Seeing that you two were busy, I sat in my mother-in-law's shop next door for a while." Ye Xiaomei said, "How is it? How does it feel to open a shop?"

　　"I'm busy and tired." Ye Anyian told the truth.

　　Ye Xiaomei laughed: "It will definitely be busy on the first day, but things will get better in the future."

　　Wei Feng, who was standing next to her, smiled naively and said, "Next year we also plan to try opening a food shop ourselves."

　　Ye Annian was pleasantly surprised: "This is a good thing, but can the shopkeeper let him go when there are guests?"

　　After all, Wei Feng has been working at Youke Lai for so many years and is an experienced chef. If he suddenly goes out and wants to work alone, he is afraid that the shopkeeper will not agree.

"We have already made an agreement with our shopkeeper." Wei Feng replied, "I also have an apprentice myself. When the apprentice becomes a disciple, I can leave."

　　"That's good," Jiang Zhu came over, "When your shop opens, it's up to us to congratulate you."

　　The four of them chatted and laughed for a while, and then Ye Xiaomei suggested that if there were guests over for dinner, she and Wei Feng would treat it as a host to celebrate the opening of the shop today.

　　Ye Anian and Jiang Zhu could not refuse, and after telling Yu Hu to take good care of the shop, they left with Fu Zai and Ding Qiu.

　　Wei Feng and Ye Xiaomei served them very attentively, including steamed sea bass, braised lion's head, and stewed chicken knuckles, all of which were meat and vegetables.

　　It was a very enjoyable meal, but we had other things to do in the afternoon, so everyone just drank some sour plum drink.

　　After dinner, Ye Anyian packed some food for Yu Hu, and then he and Jiang Zhu took the two children back to Guangyin Shop and stopped disturbing Wei Feng and Ye Xiaomei.

　　When the two came back, there was no one in the shop, and Yu Hu was settling accounts behind the counter.

　　Wen Heng didn't leave either. He was sitting at the square table in the shop for guests to rest, eating the exquisite meals in the food box.

　　The two of them seemed to be competing with each other. Wen Heng was eating his food and making loud noises with his mouth, while Yu Hu was lowering his head and thinking about his calculations without showing any sign of weakness.

　　Ye Annian looked at this scene and couldn't help but smile.

　　Jiang Zhu let out a "tsk" sound, then leaned close to his ear and said, "I think this Brother Tiger is pretty good at handling that silly young master Wen Heng."

　　The two of them were talking, and Fu Zai took the food box from Ye Anian's hand and handed it to Yu Hu with a bang.

　　"Brother Huzi, we have brought you food."

　　Fu Zai likes this big brother who works for his family very much. Yu Hu is sunny and cheerful, and he is very good at making children happy.

　　Not long after Fu Zai and Ding Qiu arrived at the shop this morning, the three of them became familiar with each other.

　　Yu Hu handed the account book to Ye Anian, explained the situation of the goods he had just sold, then took the food box and went to eat.

　　There was only one square table in the shop for people to rest. Wen Heng sat on the stool on the left, and Yu Hu could only sit on the left.

　　He sat down and was about to open the food box when Wen Heng muttered: "What can be as delicious as the chef of my Wen family?"

　　Yu Hu ignored him. As soon as the lid of the food box was opened, the alluring aroma suddenly wafted out. There was a plate of soft braised pork, a plate of bacon and bamboo shoots, a plate of leeks and eggs, and a bowl of white rice. Two noisy big white steamed buns.

　　The young man was stunned for a moment and looked at Ye Anyian: "Boss, this...this is all mine?"

　　Ye Anyian nodded: "I've been busy all morning, and I can't stand it if I don't eat too much."

　　In fact, he also saw that Yu Hu was strong and was afraid that he would not be able to eat enough if he bought less.

　　"Thank you, boss!" Yu Hu's eyes gleamed.

He really has a big appetite. He rarely had enough to eat outside in the past, let alone something with meat and vegetables like this.

　　Yu Hu picked up the steamed bun and ate it with veggies and meat. The food was so delicious that Wen Heng stopped holding the chopsticks in his hand.

　　When guests come, he naturally goes there often, the taste is good. But for him, no matter what kind of delicacies he has never tasted, this kind of home-cooked food is just so-so.

　　But Yu Hu ate very deliciously, and Wen Heng became frustrated again: "You are a little brother who looks so ugly when you eat, be careful not to get married in the future."

"I don't plan to get married." Yu Hu swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth and glanced at Wen Heng, "You two bosses are nice people. I plan to work with them for the rest of my life."

　　Wen Heng was choked and angry: "It depends on whether Boss Ye wants you."

　　Unexpectedly, Fu Zai on the side opened his mouth and choked him: "You want it, I won't drive Brother Hu Zi away."

　　Wen Heng:...

　　"Hey, you little bastard, why are you interrupting!"

　　"A little bit..." Fu Zai was not afraid of him, holding Ye Anyian's thigh and sticking out his tongue at him.

　　"It's quite lively."

　　Suddenly a gentle male voice came from the door.

　　Ye Annian looked up and saw Feng Mingxu walking in from outside carrying a gift box.

　　Wen Heng, who was sitting at the square table eating, was stunned when he saw the visitor. He immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand and hid in the inner room as if a ghost was chasing him away.

　　Yu Hu was very puzzled, but he was a discerning man. As soon as he saw the clothes of the man who came in, he knew that he was not an ordinary person, and he should know Ye Anian and Jiang Zhu. I was afraid that it would be inconvenient for him to be among these three people. say.

　　So he stood up and said hello to Ye Anyian, then carried the food box into the inner room.

　　Ye Annian ignored these two people and stepped forward and said, "Why is Chief Feng here? Sit down quickly."

　　"I'm afraid you'll be too busy with so many guests this morning," Feng Mingxu replied, "I just came over to say hello and wanted to order something with you."

　　As he spoke, he put the gift box he was carrying on the counter.

　　"All the low-level Rubik's Cubes are sold out today, but there are still some mid-level and high-level Rubik's Cubes left." Ye Anyian thought he was here to fix the Rubik's Cube.

　　Feng Mingxu shook his head, and his eyes fell on the white jade God of Wealth statue on the small table: "I would like to trouble you to help me carve a jade statue of Wenquxing."
