Chapter 131: Inviting Zhou Youliang and his wife to dinner
This is an asset that she bought with her own money.
Shen Ru and Erniu were also happy for her, and their faces were also filled with excitement.
Everyone exchanged a few more pleasantries in the yamen, and then Su Panpan said goodbye to the magistrate, the legal advisor, Jiang Er, and Gou Sheng before leaving happily.
Su Panpan, Erniu and Shen Ru came to the newly bought house in town.
The three of them stood at the door, their eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.
Erniu couldn't wait to push open the door and rushed in first.
Shen Ru also slowly walked into the house and looked around.
Su Panpan stood in the middle of the yard, thinking about how to rebuild the house.
She looked around and had a preliminary plan in mind.
The house is a bit run-down, but if one doesn't have high expectations, it can still be lived in, but she definitely doesn't want that.
She wanted to build a better house, with more space and a better layout.
She began, "I want to tear this house down and rebuild it, making it bigger. I want to include the three large vegetable plots next to it, make the walls bigger, the yard bigger, and the kitchen bigger as well."
"That's right. A bigger kitchen will make work more convenient." Shen Ru nodded slightly in agreement.
Erniu also said excitedly, "A bigger yard is better, it can hold more things!" "In the future, I can plant some flowers and plants in the big yard, and build a grape trellis. It will definitely be very comfortable to cool down under it in the summer."
"A design like the one at Zhou Youliang's house is very good and comfortable." Shen Ru interrupted.
Speaking of Zhou Youliang, Su Panpan thought of the last time he had troubled Zhou Youliang to help them find a house. He had troubled him for so long, but they had not yet thanked him properly.
Now that she had bought the house and it was noon, she decided to invite them to have dinner at Yuejiu Pavilion.
Yuejiuge is the best restaurant in Qingning Prefecture, and its branch in Baoxing Town is also very popular.
Su Panpan also thought about having the opportunity to open a store in the future, but she had no experience at the moment, so it was a good opportunity for her to go and have a look and gain some experience.
They came to Zhou Youliang's house in an ox cart.
In Zhou Youliang's yard, Gao Qinqin was sitting on a small stool embroidering a handkerchief. The sunlight shone on her body, and the scene was peaceful and beautiful.
When she heard the sound of the ox cart, she looked up and saw Su Panpan and the others, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
Zhou Youliang also came out of the house. Seeing Su Panpan, he smiled brightly and said, "Panpan is here. Are you here to look for a house again?"
"Brother Zhou, Sister Gao, the house has been bought. I came here to chat with you."
"Congratulations! That's great." Gao Qinqin quickly got up and asked Su Panpan, Erniu and Shen Ru to sit down in the yard.
Mrs. Zhou brought tea and cakes with a smile.
Su Panpan smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, Sister Gao, now that the house is bought, I would like to invite you to have dinner at Yuejiu Pavilion."
Zhou Youliang and Gao Qinqin exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise. Gao Qinqin smiled and said, "Then we won't be polite. Let's share in your joy."
Zhou Youliang turned to Mrs. Zhou and said, "Mrs. Zhou, you don't have to cook for us."
"Hey, okay."
The group arrived at Yuejiu Pavilion in a ox cart.
The exterior of Yuejiu Pavilion is magnificent. Above the vermilion gate hangs a golden plaque with three large characters "Yuejiu Pavilion" inscribed on it, shining brightly in the sunlight.
When I walked into the restaurant, it was very lively.
The spacious and bright hall was furnished with exquisite tables and chairs, and the guests were laughing and chatting, creating a warm atmosphere.
A gorgeous chandelier hangs from the ceiling.
Exquisite calligraphy and paintings are hung on the walls, adding a touch of cultural atmosphere.
As soon as the group stepped into Yuejiu Pavilion, the waiter saw them with his sharp eyes and immediately came up to greet them with a smile on his face.
"Sir, please come in!" the waiter said as he led everyone to a window seat and swiftly wiped the table and chairs with a clean rag. "Sir, this seat is well ventilated and offers a view of the street. Are you satisfied?"
"Okay." Su Panpan nodded.
After everyone sat down, the waiter quickly poured a few cups of hot tea. "Sir, please have a sip of tea to warm yourself up. This is a fragrant tea specially prepared in our restaurant, with a mellow taste. What would you like to eat?"
"Please introduce the special dishes in your restaurant."
The waiter began to introduce the restaurant's specialties: "Ladies and Gentlemen, our Yuejiu Pavilion's signature dishes include braised lion's head, steamed fish, and sweet and sour spare ribs. We also have the Hibiscus Bird's Nest dish, which is made with bird's nests and paired with fresh, tender egg droplets. It has a smooth texture and delicious flavor. Then there's the Eight Treasure Wild Duck, which features plump wild duck stuffed with eight ingredients, including glutinous rice, ham, and lotus seeds. It's meticulously prepared and overflowing with fragrance. And then there's the Longjing Shrimp, which is cooked with fresh Longjing tea. The shrimp is tender and the tea flavor is fragrant."
"I'll have one of each of the special dishes you just mentioned, along with some cold-mixed sunflower greens and a emerald pearl soup."
"That's enough, Panpan. If you order any more, you won't be able to finish it." Gao Qinqin reminded from the side.
"That's all for now. Oh, by the way, let's have another pot of good wine." Su Panpan nodded.
During the ordering process, the waiter leaned forward slightly, listened carefully to the guests' requests, and nodded from time to time.
He explained the characteristics and cooking methods of the dishes in detail. After we ordered, the waiter responded with a resounding "OK" and quickly walked to the kitchen to place our order.
After a while, he came over quickly with a plate of melon seeds and a few small snacks in his hands, and gently placed them on the table. "Please wait a moment, my guests. The dishes will be here soon. Please try these melon seeds and snacks first to pass the time."
Soon, the sound of footsteps came closer and closer, and the waiter walked over briskly, holding the tray steadily in both hands.
He first carefully placed the steamed fish on the table. The fish was intact and white in color, dotted with green chopped green onions and tender yellow shredded ginger, exuding bursts of tempting aroma.
Then, the waiter put down the tray steadily and picked up the braised lion's head. The round and plump lion's head was placed steadily on the plate. The bright red color greatly increased people's appetite.
The cold-mixed sunflower greens are fresh, green and fragrant with garlic aroma.
The emerald pearl soup, with emerald green vegetable puree and white glutinous rice balls, complement each other beautifully, sparkling like jewels.
Then, the Eight Treasures Wild Duck was served. The wild duck had a complete shape, golden color, and exuded a rich fragrance.
The last one is Longjing shrimp. The shrimp is crystal clear and paired with tender green tea leaves, it is fresh and elegant.
"Come, eat some food, eat some food." Su Panpan greeted everyone.
Everyone picked up their favorite dishes with their chopsticks and started to taste them.
Su Panpan paid close attention: the location is good, the flow of people is sufficient, the sign is eye-catching, the decoration is luxurious and prestigious in this era, the waiters are smart, the service is good, the appetizers can help you kill time, the business philosophy is advanced, there are many dishes, and the taste is good. No wonder it is so popular. It seems that the person who runs Yuejiu Pavilion is really not simple.
