In the Three Kingdoms period, the opening scene features the killing of Huang Gai, shocking Zhou Yu!

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Zhao Yu quickly called a halt.

"Old Ma, stop your supernatural powers."

"Your smile is enough to scare the guests out of their wits before they even step inside."

"People who don't know better might think we're selling human flesh buns."

Ma Teng looked aggrieved and touched his beard.

This is ordained by fate, and cannot be changed by later generations.

"What should we do then?"

"The Prime Minister said he wants me to be the manager."

Han Sui was still there, secretly laughing.

He had an expression that said, "Let's see how you get out of this."

Let's get this over with as soon as possible and remove them from their positions as chefs.

He was told to return to Xiliang, but of course, it was impossible for him to go back.

These two killing gods were Xu Du's "weapons of mass destruction."

If used improperly, it can be a disaster.

If used well... that becomes a unique feature.

"It needs to be changed."

"Old Ma."

"From today onwards, stop laughing."

"Don't show your face either."

Go get me a mask.

"Like those... big-headed dolls, or festive God of Wealth masks."

"Stand by the door, your only responsibility is to yell; don't take off your mask!"

"This is called... 'Divine Might Mascot'."

As long as Ma Teng doesn't show his face, just having him there is enough to represent his status.

"As for General Han..."

Zhao Yu looked at Han Sui,

"Your swordsmanship is art, but it's too murderous."

"From now on, you'll work in the kitchen."

"Put a curtain in front of it."

"Just bring out the cut meat and have the waiter deliver it."

"So that the customers only see the meat and don't see your deadpan face."

"Also, from now on, when you're cutting meat, don't think about my name. You've practically chopped the meat to pieces!"

Han Sui snorted.

He turned and went into the kitchen.

That's considered an implicit agreement.

After arranging these two powerful weapons...

Zhao Yu turned to look at Ding Yi.

"Good manners."

"Look, our shop has meat, vegetables, and even the King of Hell is no longer a threat."

"But it still lacks...culture."

"This is, after all, property under the Prime Minister's name; it can't be turned into a bandit's den."

Ding Yi had by then recovered from the shock.

He looked around at the bare walls.

I understand what Zhao Yu wants to do.

"Don't worry, brother!"

"Leave the style to me."

"This wall is too plain. I'll write some calligraphy and hang it up later."

"Just write... 'Eat only the finest food, and prepare dishes with the most delicate touch.'"

"Draw a few more serene landscape paintings to block out the cooking fumes."

"besides."

Ding Yi pointed to the center of the hall.

"We can put a screen here."

"Separate the lobby from the private seating area."

"Young masters from prominent families prefer to dine in private."

"We can build a white wall and let those literati write a couple of poems when they're happy after their meal."

"In this way, we're not just a restaurant, but also a semi-'elegant gathering'!"

"good!"

Zhao Yu was overjoyed.

He truly is a talented man!

That hit Zhao Yu right.

This instantly elevates the class!

"Zhengli, write another plaque later and hang it at the entrance of the private room."

"What should we call him?"

Ding Yi thought for a moment,

"How about... Hero's Tomb?"

"Does that mean even heroes can't move?"

"...Change to another one."

Zhao Yu was speechless.

"That's where people are buried."

"Let's call it 'Gentle Paradise'."

Cao Jie: "..."

Why don't you go to the Orchid Village?

"Zhao Yu, do you believe that if your older sister sees this, she'll smash this shop to pieces?"

"Then let's call it the Hall of Gathering Righteousness!"

Zhao Yu made the decision.

"Four days later!"

"Shenwei Hot Pot is officially open!"

"I want everyone in Xuchang to know."

"What do you mean...waiting in line until your legs cramp up!"

……

Two days before the opening.

The renovation of Shenwei Lao is also nearing completion.

Chief Secretary of the Prime Minister's Office

Zhao Yu did not allow anyone to hang up a plaque.

They simply covered the entire store with a black cloth.

It's all so mysterious.

The passersby were all guessing:

"Is this some kind of shady business?"

"Still, are you going to kill him?"

"I heard it belongs to the Prime Minister's residence."

"It looks like a coffin shop to me..."

In the store.

There are three kinds of cards on the table.

Ding Yi held the account book in his hand, his abacus clicking away haphazardly.

A worried look on his face:

"Big brother."

"Are you out of your mind with this pricing?"

"You want to sell a piece of broken copper for a thousand coins? You want to sell a gilded one for ten thousand coins?"

"This is the most outrageous one."

Ding Yi pointed to the card in the very center that had Cao Cao's name on it.

"You want to sell this one card for 100,000?"

"That's enough to buy a small courtyard house in Xudu! Who would be out of their mind to buy this?"

Ma Teng and Han Sui, standing to the side, didn't care at all.

Zhao Yu crossed his legs.

As a newcomer, he understood all the ins and outs of this matter very well.

"Zhengli, you don't understand this."

"Are we selling food? No."

"What we're selling is class."

"What they're selling is the feeling of 'I'm awesome'."

Zhao Yu picked up the card with 100,000 yuan.

"This card is called the Hero's Token."

"A total of ten orders are allowed."

"As for special privileges, things like not having to queue are child's play."

"The holder of this card can appoint General Han Sui to come out in person and cut the mutton into the shape he desires in front of him."

"We can also designate General Ma Teng, remove his mask, and give him a 'death stare' to test his courage."

"Most importantly..."

Zhao Yu pointed to the wall:

"His name will be engraved on the most prominent 'Heroes List' in our store, right below Prime Minister Cao's name."

what?

Even Ma Teng understood the ulterior motives behind it.

"Ranked alongside the Prime Minister?"

"Then...wouldn't those family heads who want to get promoted and make a fortune be fighting over it like crazy?"

"To be able to outshine my arch-rival in name, and even be ranked alongside the Prime Minister..."

"This...this is much more effective than treating people to dinner!"

"That's right."

Zhao Yu chuckled.

"This is a tax on intelligence."

"Then, we can add a premium, and we won't have to worry about not making money."

……

Organize the three types of membership cards.

Ding Yi discovered a wooden sign at the bottom of the box.

"Big brother, what about this one?"

"Who is it for? It looks like a night watchman's badge."

Zhao Yu looked at the wooden sign.

"This one..."

"This is a 'custom-made' item for our great scholar, Yang Xiu, the registrar."

Ding Yi picked it up and took a look.

[Learning Card]

There is also a line of small print on the back.

Cardholder: Yang Xiu

Privilege: When entering the restaurant, you must loudly recite the "Six Requirements." If you mispronounce a single word, Ma Teng will yell at you.

Bonus: A complimentary serving of "Brain-Boosting Pig Brain Flower".

Ding Yi: "..."

"Brother, you're killing me by breaking my spirit."

Sending pig brains? Is that an insult to his brain?

"He has to recite it in public? That's worse than death!"

"That's right."

Zhao Yu tossed the wooden sign to Ma Teng.

"Old Ma, send a quick-thinking soldier to the Yang residence."

"Remember, send it off in a grand and impressive manner."

"We must let Quanxu know."

"It is said that Chief Secretary Zhao, out of consideration for his colleague, specially gave him an opportunity to 'learn and improve'."

"This is also in response to the Prime Minister's call to 'promote the new regulations'."

hum.

"If he dares to throw it away, he'll be disrespecting the Prime Minister (after all, the Prime Minister said the six demands must be implemented)."

"If he keeps it... hehe, let's see if he has the nerve to come and eat it."
