Soon, it was time to open the restaurant.
During those two days, Jiang Zhou was not idle. He created several advertisements imitating modern flyers. Wen Yan wrote the words, and he drew the food pictures.
Both Wen Yan and Jiang Zhou had been sent to school since childhood. While Jiang Zhou spent three days playing around and two days reading casually, Wen Yan took his studies seriously. Wen Yan used to urge Jiang Zhou to complete the homework given by their teacher.
Jiang Zhou’s usual activity was squatting outside the door or in a corner, attempting to lure Wen Yan away from homework. When making advertising flyers, Wen Yan teased Jiang Zhou, saying, “Now you think of me, who told you not to study hard in the first place?”
Jiang Zhou, busy grinding and laying paper, responded with a laugh, “It’s enough for a family to have one smart person. The smarter my wife is, the less worry I will have, isn’t that good?”
Wen Yan glared at him, saying, “Smooth talker,” and continued working on the advertising flyer. Four big characters were written in a conspicuous place: Jiangjia Restaurant.
The rest of the flyer depicted various delicacies according to Jiang Zhou’s descriptions. Most of the paintings were ink paintings in black and white. However, Jiang Zhou went the extra mile, grinding stones into paint powder by hand and mixing them before giving them to Wen Yan.
Wen Yan, unfamiliar with this painting method, practiced a lot before daring to start. The effect was impressive; the painting made with this kind of paint was more realistic than traditional ink.
Jiang Zhou held up the big poster intended for the restaurant and exclaimed, “My wife is really amazing. He never does any painting before, and he can paint so well! Look at the color combination and the delicate brushstrokes! Perfect!”
Blushing at his praise, Wen Yan retorted, “What are you doing!”
His fair and delicate skin turned red, resembling morning dew reflecting red clouds, expressing an inexplicable embarrassment.
Jiang Zhou enjoyed seeing him like this.

Jiang Zhou had announced in advance that he was going to open a restaurant. During those two days when he was selling oden, he would give out an advertising paper to anyone who came. Therefore, when the restaurant actually opened, many people came, some of whom were his past diners. There were also passers-by who were attracted by the advertising paper.
A long string of bright red firecrackers crackled. Lu Dalang and his wife, who were invited to help, also stood at the door to welcome the guests, while Jiang Zhou was busy in the kitchen behind.
Considering that there were so many people on the first day of the opening, everything he prepared could be prepared in advance, as long as it was heated on-site.
Therefore, the steamed dishes table was served very quickly.
Fresh meat wontons, three-fresh steamed stuffed buns, steamed buns, steamed pork, soft steamed chicken feet… all kinds of stuff, limited to three servings per person, left everyone dazzled and stunned.
Lu Dalang didn’t help when he was preparing the things, so when Jiang Zhou moved these things out, he was a little surprised: he knew that Jiang Zhou had an idea for novelty things, but he didn’t expect that there were so many; it was amazing!
Even he was stunned, and those who had never seen the world were even more stunned. Those familiar ingredients were made into things they had never seen before, and there were more than just the same! How did people’s brains grow like this?
They’re happy to come in and spend a fortune to experience it.
But soon, they discovered that this kind of enjoyment was a kind of torture to a certain extent.
The one they ordered was quite delicious, but when they saw the people next to them was eating something completely different, they were so greedy! But! Jiang Zhou limited to three servings! What should they do if they already used all the servings?
Woohoo, the stuff next to them smelled so good; making people so greedy.
He could only forcefully turn his face away from the table on his left, but when he turned his head – holy shit, why did he feel that the table on the right was also delicious?
The chicken feet in my hand suddenly… no, it was still very fragrant, soft and tasty, and melted with just a sip. It was delicious!
In this way, many people had the same idea.
Therefore, as Jiang Zhou said, the food should not be repeated every day. They thought it was so wonderful. It was great to be able to eat different food every day!
What? You have to queue up for the limited edition?
They waved their hands, saying, “That’s it! It’s not expensive anyway, so it’s okay to enjoy it!”
Everyone immersed themselves in eating in harmony.
.
Then Liu Buping arrived with a few dandy boys.
Those people were the famous rich kids in town – at best, they were rich kids, at worst, playboys that cats and dogs hated. They hung around the town every day, teasing little girls instead of doing business.
Most of them were outsiders. When Master Qiu was still around, they hung out with Young Master Qiu. When Master Liu came, they followed Liu Buping. Anyway, there was always a leader.
Such a large group of unscrupulous people standing at the door of the restaurant shocked the people waiting in line.
One of them questioned, “Just such a small, shabby restaurant?”
“There are so many people here, why do they look so poor?”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, can the food in this restaurant be eaten?”
There was a long list of questions and a lot of talk.
The leader, Liu Buping, rolled his eyes at them, saying, “Whether you want to eat or not, shut up. I’m going to eat.”
A group of people immediately fell silent, and one of them came out to smooth things over, saying, “Hey, the place Xiao Liu’er introduced must have merit. Is there anything to doubt?”
Liu Buping said proudly, “That’s right, I recommend this to you, don’t miss it one day!”
Although he didn’t like Jiangzhou, he liked Jiangzhou’s food! He was so picky but he was impressed!
“But there are too many people here! How can we eat?”
After hearing this, Lu Dalang, standing next to him, pointed to the big poster and said, “Don’t worry, everything in this restaurant can be taken away. It’s just that the fresh food tastes better in the restaurant.”
