The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

When Gu Huai saw that Gou Dan was wearing a constable's uniform, he assumed that the constable had come to cause trouble at the shop. When he used to run a restaurant, constables often came to cause trouble, and those people often ate without paying. But this constable actually brought a congratulatory gift for the opening.

He didn't recognize Gou Dan, so he quickly asked Qian Qian, "Who is this young man?"

Su Qianqian introduced, "Uncle, this is Gou Dan, the youngest son of our village chief. He's a constable now. If anyone causes trouble at our shop in the future, you can ask Brother Gou Dan for help."

Gou Dan quickly greeted him, "Hello, Uncle Gu."

"Good, good," Gu Huai was quite happy. With one of his own as a constable, he wouldn't have to worry about outsiders causing trouble. And there probably wouldn't be any constables coming to freeload anymore.

Gu Huai warmly invited Gou Dan inside to join the feast.

"Young man Gou Dan, please come in. From now on, our restaurant will rely on you."

Gu Huai felt that although the Inspector was very powerful, he would not stay in Qinghe County for long. It was very important to have a local constable from Qinghe County to rely on.

"Uncle Gu, you're too kind."

Dog Egg thought to himself: I owe it all to you guys. I got this job as a constable thanks to Sister Qianqian's help.

Gu Huai was quite excited about the opening of the new store, and thus became rather talkative.

"Brother Gou Dan, if it were before the Green Bamboo Gang was destroyed, I really wouldn't dare to open a shop. My old restaurant was ruined by those hooligans from the Green Bamboo Gang. They put cockroaches and rat droppings in the food, which really messed me up and left me with a mountain of debt."

At this point, Gu Huai looked up to the sky and sighed, "I don't know why the Green Bamboo Gang was suddenly wiped out overnight. It's truly a miracle."

Dog Egg thought to himself, "It's not like God has eyes. It's clearly because the Green Bamboo Gang was blind and offended Sister Qian. After the Green Bamboo Gang went to Lotus Village to cause trouble for Sister Qian, the Green Bamboo Gang was wiped out the next day."

Therefore, you shouldn't mess with Asami-chan.

Chen Mama, the steward of the Meng family, also came, bringing a red envelope containing one hundred taels of silver as a congratulatory gift.

"Miss Su, it's a pleasure to meet you. You may not recognize me. I am Chen, the steward of the Meng family. Today, on behalf of the family, I extend my congratulations to you and wish you a prosperous business and great fortune."

"Thank you, Madam Chen," Su Qianqian thought that since she had received the congratulatory gift from the Meng family, she should give a return gift. Just then, Manager Zuo sent two sets of improved horse-face skirts, which she could give to Baozhu.

I don't know when Baozhu will be back. When she comes back, I can invite her to have dinner here.

The landlady and Chen's mother sat at the same table for a meal.

She then learned that Chen's mother was sent by the owner of Meng's Dim Sum Shop to offer her congratulations.

The owner of Mengji is no ordinary family; he comes from the Meng family, one of the five great families in China, and Mengji chain stores have spread throughout the four surrounding countries.

So Miss Su is indeed extraordinary, having such a good relationship with the owner of Meng's restaurant.

As long as she clings to Miss Su, she'll surely become the biggest landlady in Qinghe County.

The landlady thought she was amazing; she could tell at first glance that Miss Su was no ordinary person.

After Chen's mother finished eating, Su Qianqian wrapped up the two new dresses and handed them over.

"This is a gift for my little sister Baozhu. Please take it back with you, Aunt Chen."

"This old servant thanks Miss Su for her gift on behalf of my young lady."

In addition, Su Qianqian also gave Chen's mother two small packets of homemade flower tea separately.

"I roasted this tea myself. Mrs. Chen, please try it. If you like it, you can have someone come and get more."

Mrs. Chen knew this was just a polite remark; she certainly wouldn't dare send someone over to fetch tea.

Miss Su was the eldest daughter's savior, and as the head housekeeper of the Meng family, she dared not neglect Miss Su in any way.

After returning to the manor, Madam Chen thought that her young mistress really liked this Miss Su, so she didn't plan to keep the tea for herself. She had the tea and the dress sent to the capital, since there were already things in the manor that needed to be transported to the capital.

On the second day after the restaurant opened, Gu Huai thought that with the Gu family's ancestral cooking skills and the addition of five-spice powder, the business would definitely be booming, but in reality, the business was very dismal.

At noon, there were only two guests in the huge hall, and they were both acquaintances.

One is Mo Xiaobei, and the other is the landlady.

Mo Xiaobei was sent by the Crown Prince to protect Miss Su.

The landlady, on the other hand, was simply a foodie.

There was no business, so Gu Yun was the only one in the kitchen.

Su Qianqian stayed in the backyard making flower tea.

Gu Huai and his wife sat anxiously in the front hall. There was no business in the shop, and they were worried that the money Qian Ya's family had invested would go down the drain.

The Gu family had ancestors who served as imperial chefs in the palace, and their ancestral skills were exceptional, yet their business was so poor.

"Honey, what should we do?"

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with our food. Honey, you've forgotten, this five-spice powder was taught to Qian by a fairy. Qian is protected by a fairy. With Qian around, our restaurant business will definitely improve gradually."

Mo Xiaobei ate with great relish. Early this morning, the young master took his men to Huainan City next door on business, leaving him here to protect Miss Su, so he ate his meal here.

Before the meal, I was disappointed that I couldn't go to Huainan with the prince, but now I feel very lucky to be left alone.

Gu Ji's food is really delicious, even better than the best food in Beijing, Zhaixinglou Restaurant. When I go back to Beijing, I must brag about it to my brothers who stayed there.

Seeing that the restaurant was not doing well, Mo Xiaobei comforted the owner, Gu Huai, saying, "Mr. Gu, don't worry too much. It's only the second day since we opened, so it's normal for business to be slow. Even the best wine needs advertising. The main problem is that people outside don't know how delicious our food is."

The landlady had an amazing appetite, ordering a huge table of food. "Why don't any of those people come in and try it? What a pity, only I know how delicious this food is."

After eating and drinking her fill, the landlady paid the money and then regretted it.

Although she received a discount, she ate only the best food: braised pork knuckle, roast goose, braised sea cucumber with scallions, braised tripe, and premium chicken. She spent real money on all of it.

If you eat here every day, the money you spend on food each month could buy an extra small courtyard to rent out.

She vowed that for the sake of her landlady career, she would keep her mouth shut at night and would never come again.

The shop was very close to Qingsong Academy, and it was lunchtime when students were leaving school, so there were many students coming and going.

Fang Cheng was among them. In fact, he had passed by here yesterday and saw the sign above that read "Gu's Restaurant." He also saw Su Bing and the Gu family standing at the entrance and immediately understood.

No wonder the people who went to smash up the Gu family's snack stall came up empty-handed; it turns out the Gu family had actually rented a shop to open a restaurant.

Yesterday, he specifically told his classmates that the restaurant owner didn't cook clean food and that they shouldn't go in to eat.

Today, I deliberately followed a group of classmates past here again, in order to continue to "spread" the restaurant's shortcomings and make Gu Ji infamous in Qingsong Academy.

The classmate next to me smelled the delicious aroma wafting from the restaurant and felt even hungrier. "How about we try this newly opened restaurant? It smells pretty good."

Fang Cheng stopped him, saying, "Don't go. I know the owner of this restaurant. His old restaurant often had cockroaches and rat droppings in the food, which is why it went out of business."

Blame that brat for being so arrogant and daring to come to the county town to do business.

He's just a country bumpkin who got dumped by him. He'll understand once he pays the money back that the lower class should stay in their poor, run-down countryside and not dream of squeezing into the bustling county town.

Although Fang Cheng is a bad person at heart, he is a smart man.

He usually maintained good relationships with his classmates at the academy and was quite popular among them. Moreover, he excelled academically, ranking among the top three in the academy examination. He was highly regarded by his classmates, and his words carried considerable weight.

Fang Cheng was dressed in a blue scholar's robe today, looking quite respectable, and the paper fan he was holding had a famous ink painting on it.

He had previously taken one hundred taels from Tang Yuerao to find someone to sabotage the Gu family's snack stall, but the task failed. So he used the silver to buy a famous ink painting fan in his possession, spending a full sixty taels.

Holding something so expensive in my hand definitely makes me feel much more confident.

The classmates, who had been enjoying the delicious smell of Gu's restaurant's stir-fries, all fled at the first sign of trouble after hearing Fang Cheng's words.

They certainly don't want to eat cockroaches and rat droppings.

These classmates returned to Qingsong Academy and spread Fang Cheng's words far and wide.

"You absolutely must not eat at that newly opened restaurant on Fuxing Street, or you might find cockroaches and rat droppings in your food."

"Fang Tongsheng said it himself, so it can't be false."

The news spread like wildfire, and soon almost all the students in the academy knew that they shouldn't eat at the newly opened Gu's Restaurant nearby, or they would end up eating disgusting cockroaches and rat droppings.
