Wang Mo came to the restaurant early in the morning, except for some wealthy clan leaders, Zhang Hegui, Guo Tianxiang and others he invited.
Naturally, Liu Yiyi and others came over.
He looked down from the top of the building. In front of the downstairs gate, it was already crowded.
"Master Wang, your restaurant is very lively today. I didn't expect that you even invited Mr. Lu Ren from my city lord's mansion to host it for you!"
Beside him, Guo Tianxiang stood with his hands behind his hands, looking down and saying with a smile.
Wang Mo quickly replied: "Sun Zhaoduzhi of our restaurant is Lu Ren's student, so I was shameless and asked Sun Duzhi to invite Mr. Lu!"
Guo Tianxiang was not displeased, but said with a smile: "Don't tell me, this old guy Lu Ren likes to do this kind of thing the most. It is quite appropriate for you to take him seriously."
Zhang Hegui was stroking his beard at the side and said with a smile: "Actually, we all still need to rely on City Lord Guo. Without City Lord Guo guarding Tianqing City, our industries would not be so smooth. It can be said that with Guo City Lord, With the city lord here, Tianqing City must be peaceful."
As Zhang Hegui said this, other family patriarchs or other wealthy families who were close to the Zhang family nodded in agreement and flattered him in various ways.
Guo Tianxiang said calmly: "I am nothing. As the city lord, I should be the guardian. If there must be any connection, then treat this as a deal. I will protect you, and you will." You need to pay taxes every year and everyone gets what they need.”
When Guo Tianxiang said this, everyone else looked at each other a little bit.
Could it be that they flattered the horse's legs? Although Guo Tianxiang did not show any displeasure, there was a hint of displeasure in his tone.
At this moment Wang Mo said with a smile: "City Lord Guo has worked hard to protect not only the major families, but also hundreds of thousands of people in Tianqing City, and this defense continues day by day. City Lord Guo has contributed a lot, and now I can boldly call City Lord Guo big brother!"
Hearing what Wang Mo said, the heads of the major families sneered secretly. This man was really bold. He really believed someone who said something easy-going and climbed up the pole?
There were also a few family heads who frowned in thought. When they figured it out, they were all a little shocked and looked at the young man deeply.
At the same time, I was amazed. I didn't expect this young man to grasp this point so well.
Because I only heard Wang Mo continue to say: "Today is the City Lord's rest day, so the person who comes here is not City Lord Guo, but Brother Guo who comes to my restaurant to support me. That also gives me, Wang Mo, some face, as a friend. Come to participate!”
Hearing this, Guo Tianxiang took a deep look at Wang Mo, and a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded and said: "Brother Wang is indeed good, and it suits my taste. In this case, I will also pretend to be shameless. Young man, I recognize you as big brother, we are going to have a few more drinks today!"
Wang Mo nodded and responded repeatedly: "This must be true, but Brother Guo, you all have a lot of alcohol, and my drinking capacity is simply incomparable. But since Brother Guo is happy, then I will sacrifice my life to accompany you today!"
Following Wang Mo's two or three words, the atmosphere here instantly became lively.
Below, Lu Ren also started to finish his speech, and the gongs and drums were beating, making it very lively.
Wang Mo watched and thought to himself that it would be even more lively if there were a few more rounds of firecrackers. Unfortunately, in this era, gunpowder did not exist yet.
This is also the strongest trump card that Wang Mo will prepare in the future, a sure-kill move.
But he won't show it until the last minute.
Because he will not underestimate the ancients at all, nor will he underestimate their imitation ability and creativity. Once he is studied by them, his advantage of being one step ahead will be gone in an instant.
Therefore, he would not be like other time travellers, who would show off his modern abilities just to show off, and would even want to expose all his secrets.
after all……
Who the hell just comes up and throws Wang Zha!
"Huh? Has anyone already guessed the name of the restaurant?"
The people on the top of the building looked down, because it was more lively down there at the moment, and Sun Zhao even personally sent out the eight hundred taels of silver hung with red cloth.
Unexpectedly, the person who guessed the name of this restaurant was actually an old beggar wearing rags and unkempt hair. He was leaning on a cane and holding the eight hundred taels of silver tremblingly, and even shed tears.
He even shouted like crazy: "I won, I really guessed it, hahahahaha, I didn't expect that I just randomly gave two words, and I really won!"
Looking at his crazy appearance, these 'contestants' who racked their brains to guess the crossword puzzle also had complex expressions on their faces, with a bit of envy and jealousy in their eyes.
Sun Zhao looked at the old beggar and laughed and said: "Congratulations, old sir, this is your blessing, hehe..."
"On these eight hundred taels of silver, there are handwritings engraved by our shopkeeper himself. On them are the words 'Yipin Restaurant'. This is also exclusive to the crossword puzzle winner. Moreover, there is news from the City Lord's Mansion, and the whole world has been notified. In all the shops in Qingcheng, only you have the right to use these eight hundred taels. Anyone holding these silver taels will not be able to use them, and will also be arrested!"
When Sun Zhao said this, the whole audience was in an uproar, and everyone looked at Sun Zhao with complicated eyes.
The greed and even murderous intent in some people's eyes became deeply restrained after hearing these words.
Because the old beggar's name is written on it. Anyone who wants to rob it with greed is basically seeking death.
The old beggar also looked at the silver taels in his hand. He knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face and kowtowed: "Thank you, the shopkeeper of Yipin Restaurant. Thank you, shopkeeper of Yipin Restaurant. I won't live for a few more years, old man. I can't use these eight hundred taels of silver." Not so much anymore. I will use it next to this restaurant from now on. I will go in here every day to drink some wine and eat some side dishes, so I can end my life and die without regrets."
Sun Zhao quickly helped him up and said quickly: "Old sir, you don't have to be like this, you deserve this."
Beside him was Tianqing City staff member Lu Ren, who had a mustache and was fat. He touched his beard and said with a slight smile: "Since the riddle has been guessed, now the owner of the restaurant will come down and reveal the red color."
At this moment, an official came down. After whispering a few words in his ear, Lu Ren was stunned for a moment, and he stopped being shocked. He looked at everyone and said, "This red color should be given by the head of the family. It was unveiled, but the city lord said he would have a rest today and come here to show favor to the head of the family, so he is willing to come and reveal the red color in person!"
As soon as he said this, the whole place was in an uproar.
This means that there is a city lord behind this restaurant!
Then who dares to have a bad idea about this restaurant?
As Lu Ren said this, Guo Tianxiang brought Zhang Hegui and others downstairs.
But Wang Mo did not show up.
Guo Tianxiang appeared, and everyone immediately raised their hands and saluted: "Greetings to the Lord of the City!"
Guo Tianxiang smiled faintly, pressed his hands forward, and the whole place was quiet: "I have a day off today, so I am not the city lord. I just met the head of the city today. I am lucky enough to reveal this red color."
His words directly gave Yipin Restaurant its golden signature.
And he was also on the side, pulling down the red cloth covering the plaque.
The four gilded characters of Yipin Restaurant caught everyone's eyes.
