In order to avoid Lei Daqiang's birthday, Qin Mian and Lei Tia came to town in advance.
Egg-pudding, egg-tart and teacup cake all needed to be made using the oven. Qin Mian replaced them with an iron box. But this can easily be unevenly heated, so that some pastry baked, some are still raw. He got his inspiration from the stove's eye and had the blacksmith build a large, conical lid with nine iron pipes in the center, arranged in a circle close to each other. When using the oven, fasten the lid of the big pot over the fire. A large, tapered lid can concentrate the flame and disperse it through nine iron pipes. This way, the heat will be much more even. After trying a few more times, Qin Mian was able to skillfully use this simplified version of the oven to successfully make a few snacks.
On the day of Lei Daqiang's birthday, all sorts of guests gathered at the old house, including the one surnamed Lei, the one surnamed Du, and the one surnamed Wei. But and Qin Mian were the only ones who did not appear.
The strange thing was, the Madam Du did not have any dissatisfaction, she just warmly greeted the guests and secretly searched through the crowd with her eyes, showing her absent-mindedness.
Inside the Leisurely Dwelling House, the Uncle Fu intentionally delayed for a bit longer. Most likely, all of the guests in the Lei Family had already arrived, so he brought Lei Qinzhong and Lei Qin Yuan over to the old house.
Seeing that Uncle Fu was dressed like a butler from a large family in the town, the two kids standing behind Uncle Fu in the exact same servant attire, the guests in the courtyard all had different expressions as they whispered.
"The boss of Lei Family has really struck it big. Look at his servant, he's well-trained; then look at his gift, it's full of small bags."
"Greetings to the old man!" Uncle Fu was full of smiles as he stepped forward and bowed, "I wish the old man good fortune, like the everflowing waters of the East Sea, and a life longer than Nanshan."
Lei Qinzhong and Lei Qin Yuan said in unison, "I wish Old Master luck as smooth as the flowing water of the East Sea, his life as old as Nanshan!"
As if he didn't see the displeasure on Lei Daqiang's face, Uncle Fu introduced the gifts one by one, "Old Gramps, look, there are six types of dim sum. These are six feet of cloth, six kilograms of longevity peach buns, and six bottles of good wine. We really can't leave the restaurant, so Eldest Young Master and Young Master sent some of their children here to offer our birthday wishes to the old man, I hope he won't take offense to them. "
Lei Daqiang was still fuming in his heart, but when he saw the wedding gift that was several sizes higher than the others, he could only swallow his dissatisfaction and squeeze out a smile, "Hehe, no worries, business is more important."
Uncle Fu said a few more nice words before making an excuse that Tian Curie still had work to do, and then took Lei Qinzhong and Lei Qin Yuan away.
The second day of Lei Daqiang's birthday was the day that Shuangzhuan Restaurant would register for a membership card. Early in the morning, some rich people sent servants over to snatch the membership card. Not to mention whether they would be able to come and eat at Shuangzhuan Restaurant, these membership cards were unique in the entire Zhaoyang County, or even in the entire prefecture.
As expected, the person who was fighting for the front was Mu Chen's attendant. The membership card he applied for was a diamond membership card, it was a noble purple. The center of the card was embedded with a piece of pure golden, square, and above it were carved the words "Shuangzhuan Restaurant". At the very top of the card was an incomprehensible number "001", and at the very bottom a row of words "Qingtian Mansion". At the same time as the card in his hand was a set of passwords, he accidentally lost the diamond membership card. As long as he remembered the password, he could still use this membership card.
Like Changjian, Chunsheng would wait outside before daybreak. After storing the 10,000 taels of silver in advance, he would also receive a diamond membership card.
Gold membership cards are gilded. Silver membership card is light green, the same as the diamond membership card design, only the middle piece is pure silver. Gold members and Silver members also had passwords. The normal membership card was made of paper, pure white, with the picture and address of the Shuangzhuan Restaurant imprinted on it. There was even a seal on it, just in terms of design, it was also extremely exquisite, with the same number, but it was arranged from "00001".
Because there were too many people, Manager Sun placed a set of table and chairs at the entrance of the lobby. The two servants were responsible for handling the normal membership cards, silver membership cards and gold membership cards. The diamond member enjoys the most noble service, is handled by the Manager Sun personally at the counter.
Manager Sun and the workers were in a hurry, Qin Mian and Lei Tia stood at the side and watched for a while before they left.
Just now, the two of them had noticed that there were five people who had managed to register for diamond membership. In other words, Shuangzhuan Restaurant had already made fifty thousand gold today, so there was no need to worry about your money failing to circulate even if you wanted to expand your business in the future.
They were not the only ones who took note of this situation. The people from Shuangzhuan Restaurant continued to busy themselves methodically while suppressing their excitement. The better the business of Shuangzhuan Restaurant, the better their treatment would be.
As soon as Qin Mianxin got on well, he decided to hold a Lottery at noon.
In the afternoon, Nie Heng, Mu Chen, Nie Xuan, Zhao Yunxiang, and Chu Han appeared on Shuangzhuan Restaurant.
When Nie Heng and Mu Chen showed their diamond membership cards, the waiter who welcomed them immediately called their exclusive waiter over. The waiter was handsome, polite, and well-dressed. The style of his clothes was the same as the other waiters', but the color was pure white. There was also a tie around his neck.
The four servants stood behind Nie Heng and Mu Chen, while the rest of the guests looked over at them with envious gazes from time to time.
Nie Heng and Mu Chen looked at each other, and had no choice but to admit that to a certain extent, this did satisfy their sense of vanity, because having an exclusive waiter was the symbol of their identity.
The few of them still chose to take their seats in the main hall. Nie Heng asked his servant, "Is your boss here today?"
"Guest, both bosses are here."
"Oh? I wonder if you two bosses would mind taking a look? " Mu Chen asked.
After the waiter respectfully bowed, he said, "The guests are diamond members. This humble one will do my best to fulfill all of your requests, without going against the interests of the two bosses of Shuangzhuan Restaurant. Esteemed guests, please wait a moment. "
Mu Chen nodded in satisfaction, "Very good."
After they sat for a while, Mu Chen saw his personal waiter bringing two young men with extraordinary temperament over, looking at them carefully. The young man on the left was dressed in a new style of white robe, his demeanor was elegant, he was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, but from his steady gaze and calm steps, it could be seen that he was not as simple as he looked. The man on the right was dressed in a light green robe, his face expressionless, his eyes calm, and his restrained aura even more unfathomable.
"I was wondering who it was. So it's the Young Master Nie." Qin Mian walked over with a smile and cupped his hands in greeting, "Young Master Nie, how have you been?"
Nie Heng said, "I ask for your blessings. This is my younger brother Nie Xuan. These three are my good friends, Mu Chen, Zhao Yunxiang and Chu Han. "
"Young Master Nie, Young Master Mu, Young Master Zhao, Young Master Chu, it's my pleasure to meet you. Many thanks for your visit." Qin Mian laughed, "Young Master Nie has brought family and friends to take care of this humble one's business, how can I not say that? I wonder if any of you would be interested in participating in the Lottery? "
"What's that supposed to mean?" Nie Heng and Qin Mian could be considered to be familiar with each other, so they spoke rather casually.
Qin Mian said: "Today, a total of two hundred lucky draw cards have been prepared. The first prize would be one spot, and one could receive the right to stay in a luxurious suite like the one back in the building for the night. The second prize would be three spots, and there would be a fifty percent discount for today's consumption. The rest will be a consolation prize, with a free dish of beef pickles. "
Mu Chen raised his brows: "If we were to only get the consolation prize, Boss Qin's' expression 'would seem a little petty."
Qin Mian smiled calmly, "Young Master Mu's words are wrong. Luck is also a type of capital."
Mu Chen was silent for a moment, unable to deny, and looked at him meaningfully. No wonder Nie Heng always said that this Boss Qin was not simple.
Lei Tia glanced at him gloomily, "Wifey, the tea room is still waiting for you."
Qin Mian nodded, then said to Nie Heng and the others: "Everyone, please enjoy your meal. The guy in charge of the lottery was coming over right away. "Please excuse me."
"Please."
Mu Chen watched as they walked off, side by side, before turning to Nie Heng, "The two boss, your relationship is not bad."
Nie Heng casually said, "I heard that their family's servants are all surnamed 'Lei Qin', what do you think of their relationship?"
Chu Han patted Mu Chen's shoulders and mocked, "You ask that, could it be?"
Mu Chen shook his hand off, "What kind of joke is this. "It's just a casual remark."
The four servants were, after all, members of the Shuangzhuan Restaurant, so the few of them did not continue to discuss Qin Mian and the matter regarding him.
When the afternoon class ended, sixty percent of the customers eating at Shuangzhuan Restaurant chose to enter the tea room.
The walls of the tea room were plastered with wooden planks, and there were even some potted plants placed on them. The storyteller's lecture was on the dais, with a stack of papers, a pot of tea, and a log on top. Narrator Lin Qiang sat behind the script.
At the bottom, the scholar's table was made up of thick pieces of wood that had been split into two halves. The wooden bench was covered with a green cushion. The whole tea room was clean and lively. There was a menu on the wall indicating the price and items of the tea and snacks provided by the teahouse for the guests to read. Upon seeing the prices, some were astonished while others remained impassive.
Nie Heng's group of five sat in the same row, and ordered a few snacks and drinks that were unique to Shuangzhuan Restaurant.
The shop assistant who was waiting by the side immediately went to get it.
The tea room was quickly filled up.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia stood at the back. They would only be at ease if they saw Lin Qiang's performance with their own eyes.
When the time came, Lin Qiang patted the shocking wood, "My surname is Lin, I am the storytelling mister of Shuangzhuan Restaurant's storytelling arena in the afternoon, welcome to Shuangzhuan Restaurant. Today, I want to tell you all a breathtaking hero's story called "The Legend of the Condor Hero". In the distant Qiantang River, the vast river flows endlessly day and night around the edge of Niu Jia Village, flowing eastward into the sea ?? "
Qin Mian nodded slightly. Lin Qiang had some shortcomings in rendering the atmosphere, but he had a good memory and was good at using hand gestures. In time, he would become an outstanding storyteller.
