Shangyuan Restaurant is also quite famous in Jixian County, and it has a certain reputation in the hearts of major families.
The reason why Shangyuan Restaurant is what it is today is not relying on storytelling, but relying on some rare mountain delicacies.
A few days ago, the restaurant got bear paws and rock honey at a high price.
The honey-stuffed bear paw secretly made by Shangyuan Restaurant is a rare delicacy in the world.
On weekdays, it is rare to eat it even if you have money. This dish once sold for a sky-high price of one hundred taels of silver.
Today, Shangyuan Restaurant sent out invitations to the young master and young lady of the Zheng family, a prominent family in Youzhou.
These two rarely interacted with merchants. Just because they saw the dishes on the invitation, they knew that the owner of Shangyuan Restaurant was quite sincere, and how could the young master not be greedy?
Just a serving of honey-stuffed bear paw was enough to make the two young people salivate.
April 19th.
Xiangyang Street is as lively as ever.
Two carriages stopped in front of Shangyuan Restaurant.
Boss Zhang hunched over, stepped forward with great enthusiasm, and opened the curtain of the carriage at the head.
The famous dandy young master Zheng Xingzhi jumped out of the car.
"Master Zheng, please come in. Thank you for your kindness. The shop is in full bloom."
Zheng Xingzhi ignored it at all, threw away his arms and walked inside.
Boss Zhang was ignored and was not angry. He went to the carriage behind to wait.
Before Boss Zhang opened the curtain, a woman came out first. She was young and beautiful, and she attracted a lot of attention as soon as she appeared.
Who doesn’t know Miss Zheng Liangqiu?
After the people around them recognized it, they lowered their heads one after another, for fear of desecrating others.
Boss Zhang still looked flattering, and when he was about to speak, he saw Zheng Liangqiu holding the hand of another girl, and another girl came out.
This girl is about the same age as Miss Zheng, and she is indeed more beautiful.
However, Boss Zhang was not surprised. He said that the only people he invited were the young master and the young lady from the Zheng family. The girl who came after him was...
Before Boss Zhang could ask questions, Zheng Liangqiu said: "Boss Zhang, this is my little girl's close friend. We are here together today. Don't be offended."
"How dare you? How dare you? Miss Zheng can come here with her friends. It really compliments the store. Please come in."
Boss Zhang invited the two girls into the store and went upstairs. He peeked at the girl behind him for a long time, but he couldn't recognize who it was, let alone when did such a beautiful young lady appear in Jixian County?
The two girls walked and whispered: "Xiang'er, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that your husband-in-law is back?"
Lin Xiang'er held Zheng Liangqiu's hand, nodded gently and hummed.
"You and the young master of the Chen family..."
"The engagement has been broken off long ago."
"I also heard my father say that the engagement between the Chen family and the Lin family was suddenly terminated. Is it just because of him?"
"So be it."
The two of them spoke very quietly and walked step by step to the private room upstairs in the restaurant.
In the private room, a table of delicacies has been prepared.
Zheng Xingzhi walked in front. After going upstairs, he didn't wait for his sister behind him and started eating himself.
Anyone who is familiar with Zheng Xingzhi knows that this kid never follows the rules except in front of his father.
The girl behind was naturally not surprised.
The two girls didn't want to come to eat, they just hadn't seen each other for a long time and wanted to talk together.
Doing the math, the two best friends haven't seen each other for half a year since they said goodbye last year. Naturally, there are some tacit reasons for this.
Lin Xiang'er was also surprised to suddenly receive an invitation from Zheng's sister.
After much thought, I still came as promised.
After all, the two of them used to be good friends who talked about everything. The conflict between the families has led to the current deadlock. A close friendship is hard-won. It’s not like there is any unsolvable conflict between the two. Lin Xiang I really want to save something.
In half a year, the current situation in Youzhou has changed greatly.
Life is difficult for the big clans, but they also realize that the conflicts between the big clans are no longer so acute.
Moreover, the Zheng family has suffered an impact that the outside world has not understood in the past six months, and even Xiang'er has not heard the slightest news about it.
Zheng Liangqiu didn't say that the Zheng family seemed to be doing well, but because of her best friend's husband, she had to pay a heavy price.
Just a little bit away, the Zheng family will be raided and executed.
After the catastrophe, the Zheng family lost their original hostility. When they heard that Bai Song was coming back, they were afraid that this man would make trouble with the Zheng family again.
There are still discussions within the Zheng family about how to deal with Bai Song. Some people are asking for peace, and some people are saying that the man should be assassinated.
Zheng Liangqiu made the decision privately, hoping to reach a reconciliation with Bai Song through Xiang'er.
At least, meet that person first and see what his attitude is...
Zheng Liangqiu held Xiang'er's hand tightly, and the two sat together with a purpose.
But when they saw their former honey friends, they became more lively. Thinking of the time they went out together in the past, they felt a little sentimental for a moment. They didn't know what they were talking about, so the two girls secretly wiped away tears.
Boss Zhang came into the room to toast, but Zheng Xingzhi asked impatiently: "Didn't you tell me that there are honey-brewed bear paws? Bring them to me quickly!"
"Master Zheng, please don't be impatient for a moment. This honey-stuffed bear's paw is just one portion, and it needs to be heated until all the guests have arrived before eating."
"Waiting for the guests to arrive?" Zheng Xingzhi was stunned, and suddenly he lost his temper. He slapped his chopsticks on the table, "Who else is there? You want me to wait?!"
With a smile on his face, Boss Zhang said: "Young Master Zheng doesn't know something. This next guest is quite extraordinary. That's quite a trick. Do you know that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the most popular novel in the city recently?"
"Then the Three Kingdoms! Who doesn't know about it? I don't know what's so strange about it. People are talking about it all over the street, and some of my servants are secretly looking at it. My young master just wanted to take a look."
"This is what this person said about the Three Kingdoms! Today's guest is young and promising, which is rare in the world, and has quite a business mind. The small restaurant opposite that should have closed down has been reborn under his management. Even our shop will be squeezed by it and will no longer be able to open."
"Oh?" Zheng Xingzhi became interested, folded his hands, and stared at Boss Zhang seriously, "If you can make a profiteer like you unable to continue, he is really a powerful person."
"No! That guest is about the same age as Master Zheng. When we get together today, you should make a good friendship."
"I would like to see if he has two heads?"
Boss Zhang was talking here, but he did not disturb the two girls who were secretly wiping their tears in the corner.
Seeing that Master Zheng looked impatient, he felt secretly happy in his heart. He raised his hands and said goodbye to Master Zheng: "Master Zheng, I will go and invite the guest right now."
Boss Zhang walked out of the room unhurriedly. After leaving, he immediately quickened his pace and hurriedly urged the people around him, asking: "Why hasn't the person on the other side arrived yet?"
"Come, come, it's downstairs."
When Boss Zhang heard this, he calmed his expression and straightened his chest. When he walked downstairs, he saw Bai Song waiting aside, seemingly still listening attentively to Mr. Xie's lecture.
"Boss Bai! You are finally here."
Bai Song came back to his senses and raised his hand to Boss Zhang.
Bai Song didn't know why Boss Zhang invited him to be a guest. He didn't know if this person was really repentant or had other agendas.
But since everyone has invited me, if I don't come, my momentum will be somewhat weakened.
At this moment, seeing his face full of smile, nothing could be seen.
When Boss Zhang arrived in front of Bai Song, he pointed at Mr. Jie next to him pretending to be embarrassed: "Look, aren't you forcing me to have no choice but to follow your example and grab a bite of rice from your hand?" no?"
The other person was talking about the same content, but Bai Song didn't care at all and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I recently heard that every restaurant in the county is talking about the Three Kingdoms, and the content is the same. And you know the books I sell, on the street The alleys are full of pirated goods, who can control them?"
"Boss Bai is really a generous person. No wonder he has achieved this. Let's go upstairs. There are several guests waiting inside who have admired Boss Bai's name for a long time."
…
"Xiang'er, my sister has something on her mind, and she won't hide it here."
"Sister, tell me."
"Sister, I really can't understand. The young master of the Chen family is such a ruthless person that even Zheng Xingzhi doesn't dare to provoke him. Then why was the engagement suddenly canceled without the Chen family saying anything? What happened?"
Xiang'er frowned slightly, thinking about everything that happened after her husband came back that day, and didn't know whether to say anything.
After thinking for a while, he whispered: "If you have a chance, my sister should ask him personally about this matter."
Thinking of meeting Bai Song, Zheng Liangqiu felt a little disgusted. There was a lot of grudge between her and Bai Song. Although it was not hatred, there were some things that Xiang'er didn't know about.
Until now, who still doesn’t know that the person who pretended to be Bai Yutang in Shuzhong in Jixian County was Bai Song?
She also said that she would come to the Zheng family to choose a bride. The old lady named her to marry him, but they just let her go. She, the young lady of the Zheng family, was completely embarrassed.
I also heard that Xiang'er wanted to take a concubine because Bai Song had hooked up with another woman outside.
It’s not a good thing to think about.
Now Xiang'er and Bai Song are having trouble because of another woman.
How could he tell her what he was thinking about?
After thinking about it, Zheng Liangqiu felt that it was better not to see Bai Song.
In the past, I just didn't look at him if I couldn't stand him. Now I can't afford to offend anyone at home, and I have to put on a fake smile when I see him in the future. It's really tiring.
Just as I was thinking about it, the door suddenly opened.
Seeing the people who came with Boss Zhang, Zheng Liangqiu and Xiang'er stood up in surprise.
Bai Song was also stunned at the door. Who would have thought that the distinguished guest mentioned by Boss Zhang was actually his wife?
"Xiang'er..."
"Ms. sir!"
When the two of them glanced at each other, no one knew what was going on, but they both looked at Boss Zhang.
When Boss Zhang heard this title, he was dumbfounded.
But this person's mind was racing, and he thought to himself: "I didn't expect that Miss Zheng's best friend is Miss Lin!"
There is nothing bad about this matter, but it makes Boss Zhang full of expectations.
Just watch how the young master of the Zheng family reacted when he saw his enemy who had beaten him?
I think the Zheng family spent a lot of time trying to deal with this new son-in-law!
If the Zheng family knew that their original son-in-law was still alive, they would definitely have to make a lot of big moves, right?
Boss Zhang snickered in his heart, seeming to have thought of the scene where the young master of the Zheng family flipped the table.
This Bai Song, how can he keep his shop open?
Just as he was thinking about it, Boss Zhang was suddenly startled.
The young master of the Zheng family was still eating. When he saw Bai Song, he stood up as if he had seen a ghost. He stood upright, with his hands on both sides, not daring to breathe, and his face turned pale.
