The night wind blew and the lamp shadows swayed.

The grand event of the Buddha Bathing Festival came to an unsatisfactory end.

After accepting the hard-earned money and holding the snail as a gift from the temple, Lu Xilinglei was exhausted and watched the excitement with Douya from the afternoon until the evening.

The street lights at the temple fair are a must-see.

But after walking around for a while, Lu Xiling felt that the lantern festival in the city that never sleeps was just that, not very interesting.

After all, it still feels like a large blind date venue.

It's all a gimmick!

Passing by the fortune-telling stall, Douya stopped and tugged on Lu Xiling's sleeve.

"A-Ling, when will our store open?" Lu Xiling's fattened little finger pointed: "Well, do you want to find an auspicious day to open the store?"

"There's no rush, we'll open as soon as we finish loading the goods."

Fortune telling and all that is a gimmick!

Lu Xiling held up his fleshy little hand and walked back.

If there is no good and auspicious day in a year, why don’t you still make money?

Lu Xiling made the decision.

Just open it the day after tomorrow!

It's different from other restaurants next door.

Because the shop had done pastry business before, Zhengen had retained many old customers over the years. After Lu Xiling took over, the shop's customer flow increased to a new level.

Even though it has been turned into a restaurant now, everyone enjoys the joy of eating crabs. With a little promotion, the first batch of crabs will come.

The red paint on the menu board has long since dried, and the faint sunlight filters in through the window lattice, reflecting an oily warm light.

When it comes to private kitchen cuisine, we strive for refinement rather than quantity. Six exquisite dishes are enough to impress the restaurant.

Four tables and chairs are arranged neatly in the main hall.

The bar on the side of the counter is equipped with three high stools.

Don't get me wrong, it's not for the mood and taste, nor is it for the convenience of diners.

Actually like Lu Xiling.

It can only be said that the actual area of ​​​​the house is too small, so she has to squeeze out the last bit of space utilization.

Unexpectedly, after playing around with it, I discovered that there are quite a few lonely foodies.

Open for business at this moment.

Anyone who comes in can sit at the bar first, firstly to get a fresh view, and secondly so that they can chat with the store owner while eating.

"What is the Small Perfection?"

There were only two people in the restaurant, Lu Xiling was responsible for one dish, and the bean sprouts had to be pushed to the front desk.

The little girl was much more talkative than before. She imitated Lu Xiling's all-purpose sentence structure and replied with a smile: "The guests will know as soon as they eat."

Later, some diners asked how the mushroom risotto was and what the walnut cheese tasted like, and the bean sprouts also answered them one by one.

"It's moderately sweet and sour, and rich in connotation. I didn't expect the dishes to be so exquisite!" A customer sitting at the bar said in surprise.

"This thing looks a bit like a lion's head."

The guest on the other side shook his head after hearing this: "It doesn't look like it to me. The lion's head is greasy and the meat juice is thin, and you will get tired of it after just two bites. The small round head is rich in soup and tastes much more refreshing."

"What on earth is this?"

It's a tomato!

The diners outside the bead curtain were discussing animatedly, and the corners of Lu Xiling's mouth in the kitchen were raised.

I didn’t expect that foodies in ancient times were also addicted to cute things.

Although tomatoes are a common ingredient, most of them on ancient people's dining tables were soupy and watery, and the chance of actually being used as a main dish was better than nothing.

It makes sense that diners wouldn't recognize it.

Moreover, Lu Xiling was skillful in his craftsmanship. He only retained the shape of the persimmon, but hollowed out the inside and stuffed it with shrimps, mushrooms and other internal ingredients, leaving only a section of the persimmon for its fragrance.

Paired with the quicksand soup, anyone who eats it will be confused at first glance.

Lu Xiling smiled proudly, not intending to solve the mystery of this dish so early. She wished that the discussion outside the hall would be more lively.

It's best to spread the word of mouth so that tomatoes can rise to the level of popularity that Internet celebrity dishes should have.

If the taste buds and curiosity of the people are so aroused, how can they resist checking in?

Absolutely impossible!

Facts have proved that instead of pulling off stunts, you have to look at Lu Xiling.

With Xiao Yuanman taking the lead, diners lined up at the door the next day to try a bite of the internet-famous dish.

Bean sprouts almost dropped their jaws when they opened for business.

Thinking of the marketing methods in front of the stall in the previous life, Lu Xiling suddenly felt that he was being superficial. Maybe they really weren't doing hunger marketing on purpose?

Lu Xiling suddenly thanked himself for being stingy and lazy. If he had not used the recipes in [Ancient and Modern Chinese and Foreign Recipes], foodies might have gone crazy.

"What should I do?" Douya was a little panicked.

What else can you do? Send a love number.

The love of foodies is too passionate.

Fortunately, Lu Xiling had a lot more patience in this life. He would rather earn less money for a day, and the preliminary preparations were done properly.

Handwritten hairpin notes were handed to diners one by one.

The rules are also set: call for a meal, no waiting after the expiration date.

In the crowd of diners, some people lamented that this method is very good. They just want to eat Xiao Yuan Yuan. It doesn’t matter if it’s earlier or later. Let’s go shopping first.

Some people feel regretful.

Neither those who go to court nor those who work can afford to wait.

In response to this, Lu Xiling also apologized and said with a smile: "It's because the store didn't provide good hospitality. Please be considerate, noble people. If you want to eat in the future, please inform the store in advance. I will make sure to prepare it in advance."

This is what it means to be able to make a reservation.

As a result, the large wave of customers was divided into regular small waves, and Lu Xiling managed to maintain the petty bourgeoisie atmosphere of the store.

But she didn't expect that even though she was so charming and kept her guests happy, enemies would still come to her door to cause trouble.

Lu Xiling was cutting mushrooms in the back kitchen when a group of noble ladies appeared in the store with Bai Fengzhi in their arms.

Douya hurried in and said with joy, "It's the princess! It's the princess! The princess has come to our store to check in!"

Use new words randomly when you learn them.

Lu Xiling looked sad.

I'm afraid the little princess is not as simple as checking in, she is really looking for trouble.

With reservations, many guests who are not short of money and like quiet are willing to book private rooms in advance.

Lu Xiling looked through the account books and found that a servant from an official's family did come to order food yesterday afternoon.

"Wu Siye's family..."

Lu Xiling had some knowledge of this family's knowledge, but not much else.

However, since it was decided by someone from the Wu family, it was not the little princess who asked for it.

Thinking again of her teachings under the whip of Grandma Li...

Lu Xiling couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

"A Ling, the guests upstairs invite you to come over."

The breath that had just been relieved rose to his throat again.

Lu Xiling suppressed his nervousness and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

This problem is strange.

In the few days since the opening, many of the customers have finished their meal and are arranging to see the landlady, and many are happy and spending money.

Every time Ah Ling came back with money, she looked like a mountain bear that had eaten honey.

Why are you so sluggish today?

Douya was stunned for a while, then clapped her hands and said, "Are you afraid of seeing the princess? Don't worry, the princess looks so sweet and speaks politely. She won't make things difficult for you."

Douya’s smile almost reached her ears.

"I wonder how much money the princess can reward us with. I look at her clothes and she seems to be much richer than the Second Highness!"
