Chapter 338: Reason
Chapter 338 Reason
The Third Grandpa felt something was wrong when he heard this. He hurriedly led a few men out of the shop. Looking towards the gatehouse, he saw a group of people carrying something covered with a piece of red silk from a distance. There were two carriages behind him. He didn't know what was inside. Who is sitting?
Gu Dashan saw Jiang Jiao sitting on a horse next to the carriage and said hurriedly: "It's the Jiang brothers who are here."
Gu Dafu and the others also saw it and nodded.
Shang Xiucai smiled and shook his head: "More than that."
While talking, the group of people had already passed the gatehouse and came to the front of the shop.
Grandpa San and several other men hurriedly adjusted their clothes and went up to greet him: "Ah Jiao, you are here. Welcome."
Jiang Jiao was sitting on his horse. When he saw them, he deliberately said loudly: "Mr. Gu, brother Gu, the county magistrate has sent a plaque to your shop!"
"What? The county magistrate has sent a plaque to the Gu family?"
“Hey, is it true or not? This is so shameless!”
Ah Jiu looked at the shocked guests and said, "Don't you look at who said this? This is the second master of the Wei family in Jiang County. What he said is naturally true."
One sentence shocked the guests present.
When a shop opens in this town, it is very honorable to have the chief and a scholar come to support it. When the Gu family's shop opens, not only the chief and the scholar come, but also the second master of the county captain's family, and even the county magistrate. They all sent plaques.
There is also the red silk covering the plaque. This is not red cloth, but red silk. It is very expensive. This piece of red silk alone is worth a lot of money.
“Mr. Gu, congratulations to you. Even the county magistrate sent a plaque to your shop. It’s hard to imagine whether your shop’s business will be prosperous.”
The people present were filled with envy, thinking in their hearts how the owners of the Gu Family Tofu Stall were so lucky to have met so many big shots in just half a year.
Jiang Jiao dismounted and winked at Third Grandpa and the others: "Mr. Gu, several bosses, and Mr. Tian who is with the county magistrate are also here. Let's go and greet them."
Grandpa Third and the others were even more surprised. After what happened to Sun Li's family, they knew about Master Tian.
Master Tian is one of the three masters of the County Magistrate. However, Master Tian has the best relationship with the County Magistrate because he is a classmate, and is a popular person in front of the County Magistrate.
Master Tian came here to make friends today, and did not ask Third Grandpa and the others to greet him. When he heard this, he raised the curtain of the car and walked out.
Also coming down with him was Jiang Qi.
In another carriage, a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue gown stepped out. He looked elegant but was actually shrewd.
"Mr. Gu, brothers, congratulations. This shop is now open. The business will be booming in the future." After Jiang Qi said congratulations, he pointed at Master Tian and said, "This is the county magistrate. Mr. Tian, who is next to you, is here specifically to give you plaques."
Third Grandpa and the others hurriedly bowed their hands to Master Tian and said, "The common people pay their respects to Master Tian. It is a blessing for our shop that Master Tian can come."
Master Tian has a great reputation, so it is reasonable for Third Grandpa to call himself a grassroots citizen.
Master Tian helped Third Grandpa with a helper and said with a smile: "Old man, you're welcome. Tian is your junior, so you don't need to salute."
Jiang Qi pointed at the middle-aged man next to him and said: "This is Brother Hu, the owner of Futai Building in the county. After eating the braised meat and roast duck from your shop, I can't forget it. I found out that your shop is opening today, so I came here specially." Looking for goods." Hu Dongjia is very good at talking. After bowing to the third grandfather, he said sincerely: "I know that your braised meat and roast duck are selling well, so it is difficult to ask for goods, but today is a happy day for the opening of the shop. No matter what you do, you have to give us Futai Building more."
Tianfu County has two most famous restaurants, one is the Fugui Restaurant of the Zou family, and the other is the Futai Restaurant of the Hu family. The Fu Tai Lou of the Hu family is most famous for its roasted chicken with lotus leaves, but compared with the roasted duck, the roasted chicken with lotus leaves is much inferior.
Hunter Hu’s family has long been eyeing the Gu family’s roast duck. When the Jiang family heard that the Gu family’s shop was opening today, they immediately came with congratulatory gifts.
Third Grandpa smiled and said: "It's a good thing that Mr. Hu's family likes the food in our shop. Our shop will definitely prepare a batch of braised meat and roast duck for you."
Da Ya's family has been selling braised meat and roast duck for more than a month, and its reputation has long been established. They have already expected that there will be orders from restaurants when the shop opens today.
“Old man, please come in quickly, the auspicious time is coming.” The third grandma stood at the door of the shop and shouted to the third grandpa. It would be bad to miss the auspicious time.
Master Tian knew the opportunity and pointed to the two people carrying the plaque: "Go, hang up the plaque and let Mr. Gu unveil it."
"Hey." The two servants carrying the plaque responded and carried the plaque to the door of the shop. Gu Qingliang and Gu Qingtian had already brought two ladders and said to them: "Brothers, don't worry, go up. Our brothers will give you Hold on to the ladder.”
The two men smiled and nodded. One of them carried a plaque, climbed the ladder, and hung up the plaque in a short time.
Master Tian said: "Mr. Gu, please worship heaven and earth quickly and unveil the plaque."
“Hey.” The third grandfather hurriedly called the men from several houses over. After holding incense and worshiping heaven and earth, he came to the door, looked at the fallen red silk, and then looked at Master Tian: “Master Tian?”
Master Tian said: "Mr. Gu, you are the owner of the shop and the eldest one. It is your turn to unveil the plaque. Tian will forget it."
After hearing this, Third Grandpa nodded with a smile and began to unveil the plaque: "Opening!"
The red silk was torn off, revealing four big characters with flying phoenixes: Gu's Food Shop.
"Okay!" Ninety percent of the guests present were illiterate, but this was a plaque sent by the county magistrate. As soon as the red silk fell, they cheered loudly and cheered.
Gu's Restaurant was officially opened. After Third Grandpa welcomed Mr. Tian, Hu Dongjia, Jiang Qi, and Jiang Jiao into the wing on the right side of the shop, Gu Dafu and Gu Dalin began to entertain other guests.
Master Tian looked at the side room and was a little surprised: "Your shop also has a private room?"
The third grandpa smiled and shook his head: "We only have a small shop. There is a private room. This is a place specially used to entertain distinguished guests. It is also a place where our family can settle accounts and discuss matters."
"That's it." Master Tian said, looking around the room, pointing at Gu Qingliang and the others and asking: "Of these young people, which one is Gu Jinan?"
Gu Dexing was nervous, thinking about how to establish a relationship with Master Tian. When he heard this, the smile on his face froze. How could Master Tian ask to see Gu Jinan alone?
Is it because of the Jiang family?
It must be because of the Jiang family!
Hmph, there are indeed many benefits to getting acquainted with the county magistrate. Now even the celebrities around the county magistrate want to see Gu Jinan.
Actually, Gu Dexing didn't know that Master Tian would meet Gu Jin'an by name. It was County Lieutenant Jiang who told the county magistrate that he was the one who came up with the idea of removing half of Dachu.
