Xiao Yuelou is very fat, and at first glance he seems to be a kind-hearted person.
Moreover, he knows how to live well, so he wears the Sixi Ruyi moiré brocade garment produced by Rui Hexiang, and wears the refined black jade plate finger made by Bai Yutang on his finger.
A man as fat as him who also knows how to enjoy himself shouldn't be here at this time.
At this time, Xiao Yuelou should be sitting on a chair made of red sandalwood, drinking the Dahongpao presented by Kuai Ma from the south, and listening to Huayue Bandou's Qingqu.
If nothing special happened, Xiao Yuelou would not even move at all.
Because there are not many people who can make Xiao Yue Tower move. Even if a second-grade official comes to Hechang Tower, there are not many people who can make Xiao Yue Tower move.
There are even fewer people who can make Xiao Yuelou run. As for the boy, he has never seen him before.
Xiao Yuelou ran all the way over. When he came to this group of people, sweat was already dripping on his forehead.
When Li Zhonghong saw Xiao Yuelou, he immediately took a step forward and saluted, "Li Zhonghong, I have met shopkeeper Xiao."
Li Zhonghong met Xiao Yuelou once with his father, and Xiao Yuelou left a deep impression on him that time.
Even though the house was full of dignitaries, Xiao Yuelou did not show any restraint or uneasiness. Instead, he behaved casually and talked and laughed happily.
Although his father did not tell him Xiao Yuelou's identity, Li Zhonghong could deeply sense that his background was anything but simple.
So when he saw Xiao Yuelou again, Li Zhonghong would naturally not regard Xiao Yuelou as an ordinary restaurant owner.
Xiao Yuelou has a very good memory. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "Is the young master the son of Li Xianzhang and Li Shangshu?"
Li Zhonghong didn't expect that Xiao Yuelou still remembered him, and his face couldn't help but glow. He hurriedly replied: "Exactly."
Xiao Yuelou looked at Su Shi at this time, his fat face full of smiles.
"Is this young master Mr. Su Shisu, the second young master of General Su's mansion?"
Su Shi had been looking at Xiao Yuelou curiously, and nodded slightly when he saw him asking.
Xiao Yuelou said hurriedly: "I didn't know that Mr. Su is coming here, but I missed the welcome from afar. Please forgive me."
Everyone looked at Xiao Yuelou and Su Shi in surprise, even Qin Yue.
No one would have thought that Xiao Yuelou would be so polite to Su Shi, and there was even a hint of humility in his tone.
But at this time, Su Shi's expression looked a little strange. There was no joy on his face, but he looked at Xiao Yuelou with a scrutinizing eye.
He said slowly: "Hechang Restaurant is the number one restaurant in the capital, and my friends and I came here because of its reputation. Since we made a last-minute decision and were unable to make a reservation in advance, I am afraid that we will not be able to taste the delicious food of Hechang Restaurant today. I deeply regret it."
Xiao Yuelou hurriedly replied: "Young Master Su is an honored guest, but if you have any needs, Yuelou will obey them. The Peach Blossom Garden has been prepared for you. Please invite your master and your friends to go up. I will guide you."
Xiao Yuelou's words fell into the ears of others, and their expressions could no longer be described as shocked.
Everyone thought they were hallucinating, otherwise how could such a ridiculous thing happen.
But at this time, Xiao Yuelou had already bent slightly, humbly making an invitation gesture, waiting for Su Shi's answer.
Everyone looked at Su Shi in confusion. They really didn't know where he came from, since he could let Xiao Yuelou lead the way in person.
Su Shi smiled and said, "Since Hechang Tower is so hospitable, I can only be respectful and obey my orders. Brother Qin, please."
Although Su Shi's mouth was smiling, there was no smile at all in his eyes. Instead, he looked at Xiao Yuelou thoughtfully.
Until now, Su Shi was certain of at least a few things.
The first thing is that the woman behind the screen is not only the person in charge behind Hechang Tower, but also has a very high status. Otherwise, Hechang Tower would not be able to make an exception for Su Shi. This also proves from the side that she is indeed capable of making peace.
The second thing is that the woman is very smart and very decisive in doing things. If she was not in Hechang Tower at this time, she would have expected that she would come to Hechang Tower to seek confirmation, so she would have given instructions to go there, which is why Xiao Yuelou had such an attitude.
Ever since Xiao Yuelou appeared, Qin Yue's mind had been blank. It wasn't until Su Shi called him loudly that he came back to his senses. He followed Su Shi in a daze and walked into Hechang Tower in a daze.
The people left behind looked at their backs in confusion, speechless for a long time.
I don't know how long it took before the boy woke up from his panic and said to Li Zhonghong and others in a dry tone: "Master Li, please come with me."
Treating guests to a meal on the first floor of the capital is an honorable thing, whether it is the person treating the guests or the person invited.
But at this time, the host's face was as dark as coal, and he looked at Su Shi's back with endless resentment.
The interest of the other invited people also became low, and everyone followed the young man into Hechang Tower in silence.
Hechang Building has five floors, and the Peach Blossom Spring is on the third floor. When Su Shi approached the Peach Blossom Spring, he saw a painting hanging on the white wall.
There are dots of peach blossoms on the painting, and a manor is revealed under the peach blossoms. A poem is written in the blank space.
In this door last year today,
The peach blossoms on the human face complement each other in red.
I don’t know where the human face is going,
Love and be loved.
Seeing Su Shi looking at the painting, Xiao Yuelou smiled and said: "I love this poem very much, so I painted this painting myself and then inscribed this poem."
Su Shi said: "I wonder if your master can be here at this time?"
Xiao Yuelou shook his head: "The master has left."
"Left? When did you leave?"
"The master came at the right time, gave instructions and then left."
Su Shi asked, "I wonder what she ordered?"
Xiao Yuelou smiled and said: "Master said that Master Su will arrive at Hechang Tower within three days, and ordered us to serve him carefully and not to offend him."
Su Shi asked calmly: "Apart from these?"
Xiao Yuelou replied: "The master left a message before she left. She said that the young master should rest assured that she would give him a satisfactory answer within seven days."
After Xiao Yuelou left, Qin Yue looked at Su Shi with a confused face, because Su Shi could hear every word of the conversation with Xiao Yuelou clearly, but he didn't know what it meant.
Su Shi didn't seem to want to explain, he just looked at the painting with a smile.
At this time, Su Shi felt that the woman behind the screen was doing very interesting things, so he was also very curious about her identity.
At this time, the door was gently pushed open, and five or six people walked in carrying dinner plates.
There were not many dishes, only five, but almost every dish was Hechanglou's signature dish. Not only were they finely crafted and exquisitely presented, but they were also full of color and flavor. But the aroma that emanated from it was enough to make one's fingers twitch.
Su Shi praised: "It is indeed the best restaurant in the capital." Then he smiled and said to Qin Yue: "Brother Qin, please."
