Chapter Seventy-Third Opening

Since there was no problem with Ouyang Xu's character, Zhao Pan'er felt relieved.

As for what Xiao Fan said that he thought Ouyang Xu was weird, Zhao Pan'er could only attribute it to Xiao Fan's prejudice.

After all, having known Xiao Fan for such a long time, Zhao Paner knew him very well. Everything else was fine, but he was a bit jealous.

After working all morning, Sun Sanniang prepared a table of delicious dishes for everyone at noon.

A group of people gathered around the table, swallowing hard at the delicious food filled with delicious food.

"Here comes the chicken soup!"

Sun Sanniang brought the chicken soup cooked in a casserole and put it on the table, looking at the people who were not moving their chopsticks.

"Eat! Why are you standing there? It won't taste good after it gets cold."

As she spoke, Sun Sanniang scooped up a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Jia Quan: "This is to celebrate your official becoming Xiao Fan's disciple. I made it specially for you, please try it!"

"Thank you Sister Sanniang, um... no, I should call you Aunt Sanniang from now on." After Jia Quan said this, he immediately covered his mouth, wondering if he had said the wrong thing.

Sun Sanniang didn't care: "Whether I call you sister or aunt, it's up to you. You can call me whatever you like."

"Then I'll call you Sanniangjie from now on. It's always Shunzui. I'm used to it."

"Okay, Sanniang, stop working so hard and sit down and eat together." Zhao Pan'er smiled and said, "We don't dare to use our chopsticks unless you, the chef, come."

Sun Sanniang took off her apron and put it aside, sat next to Zhao Pan'er, and said, "Everyone, please try some of my newly researched dishes and see how they taste?"

Seeing this, the people who had already been salivating at the table of dishes stopped being polite and moved their chopsticks around quickly, admiring the delicious food in front of them.

Sun Sanniang looked at the people feasting with a satisfied smile. As a chef, the happiest thing is that the dishes you cook are loved by others.

After a hearty lunch, Xiao Fan became more confident in the restaurant opened by the three sisters Zhao Paner.

Sometimes I have to lament Sun Sanniang's talent in cooking. Ever since Xiao Fan handed her some cooking methods from later generations, it was like opening the door to a new world.

In just a few days, she has developed dozens of new dishes, enough to make Tianju famous and establish herself in Qiantang.

"How is it? Doesn't it taste good?" Sun Sanniang asked looking at the people who were eating and drinking expectantly.

"With your skills, if you can't make Tiantianju No. 1 in Qiantang, then it must be because of my incompetence!" Zhao Pan'er said, looking at Sun Sanniang with wide, smart eyes like a cat.

"That's right, that's right, the food cooked by Sister Sanniang is so delicious. What will we do if we can't eat the food cooked by Sister Sanniang in the future!" Jia Quan said in a playful manner.

"Sister Sanniang, I have been to Prince Qian's Mansion before, and I feel that the food they cook is not as delicious as yours."

Even Song Yinzhang, this girl, can actually praise others.

Xiao Fan accompanied Zhao Pan'er at Tiantianju and returned home after a busy afternoon. After dinner, he took Jia Quan to the study for daily practice.

While he was teaching Jia Quan how to practice calligraphy, he heard the sound of the study door being opened. He looked around and found that it was Zhao Pan'er who came in with Xiao Zhao.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Fan was a little curious as to why Zhao Pan'er came in. She had never disturbed him while he was teaching before.

Zhao Pan'er took a gift box from Xiao Zhao and said, "It's not like you were in such a hurry to accept a disciple today that I didn't even prepare a greeting gift. That's why I went to Sun Ji's study with Xiao Zhao to buy some pens, ink and an inkstone."

"Brother Quan, take a look at the gift that Mistress gave you. Do you like it?" Zhao Pan'er handed the gift to Jia Quan and looked at him with a questioning expression.

"Thank you, Master, I like it very much!"

The Four Treasures of the Study sold by Sun Ji are also unique in Qiantang, and Jia Quan naturally couldn't put them down.

Zhao Pan'er followed Xiao Fan's example and said while rubbing Jia Quan's head: "As long as you like it, I personally selected this."

"Master, why do you always like to touch my head like my master?" Jia Quan muttered unhappily.

"Huh?" Zhao Pan'er frowned slightly and looked at Jia Quan strangely: "What? Your master can touch it, but I can't? He is your master, and I am still your mistress!"

"No," Jia Quan wanted to say, "My master touches me, but I don't like it either," but when the words came to his lips, he said, "No, my head, master and wife, you can touch it as you like."

Alas, life is not easy, Jia Quan sighed.

Seeing Jia Quan reveal a smile that was uglier than crying, Zhao Pan'er patted his head and chuckled: "Go and continue practicing calligraphy."

April 25th is a good day for opening a business, getting married, and breaking ground.

After this period of saturated publicity, the opening of Tiantianju has become a big news in Qiantang County.

After all, every day there are either children on the streets passing around nursery rhymes, or people hired by Zhao Paner sending out flyers and coupons everywhere.

Literati are definitely very interested in the Tiantianju. These days, many people have thought hard and come up with a lot of second lines, planning to participate in the activities when Tiantianju opens.

Moreover, they heard that the shopkeeper of this natural place was Mrs. Zhao, the original shopkeeper of Zhao's Tea Shop. Originally, the literati in Qiantang liked to drink tea at Zhao's Tea Shop, which was famous for its elegance.

Now that Mrs. Zhao has closed her tea shop and opened a restaurant, and she has pulled off such a big stunt, they naturally want to support her and go to have a look.

They don't care about the scribes card, free drinks, etc. They mainly want to communicate with other literati.

Today is the opening day of Tiantianju. Not only did Xiao Fan not go to the school, but he invited all the teachers and classmates from the school.

Master Zou and others did not agree at first, but they heard that famous pipa players from Jiangnan and many music campers came to perform.

Moreover, Tiantianju organized a cultural gathering in Yiyuan Pavilion, so they agreed to Xiao Fan's invitation.

Master Zou brought a group of masters from the academy to Tiantianju, and saw several jugglers in the open space at the door performing acrobatic tricks such as breathing fire, holding bowls, stilts, and flying fireballs, which attracted bursts of cheers from the onlookers.

Amidst the lively sound of gongs and drums, a pair of lion dancers performed a wonderful performance on a temporary high platform at the door. With the lion dance's various thrilling movements, exclamations and gasps were heard from time to time.

After the drumming stopped, Zhao Paner, wearing a peach-pink high-collared and wide-sleeved shirt, brought Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang out to deliver a speech for the opening of Tiantianju.

"As the saying goes, business is like spring, and new things are better than old ones. I wish Tiantianju good luck with its opening. Everyone, please come in!"

Along with Zhao Pan'er's words, the colorful silk that had previously covered the Tiantianju signboard fell together. When the onlookers saw that Tiantianju was open for business, they all filed in.

As soon as you enter the front door, you will see the restaurant lobby.

What came into view were a dozen graceful women on and off the stage, wearing low-cut and gorgeous costumes with slits, walking out from the backstage in an orderly manner, dancing with enchanting postures to the cheerful exotic music.

The gauze red lips and snake-waisted lotus hands are charming and moving.

The beauties dancing to the music attracted the attention of all the customers who entered the natural residence. Some were stunned at the scene, and some even swayed their bodies from time to time with the dancers.

Although Master Zou was a great Confucian, he also loved singing, dancing and vocal music. Otherwise, he would not have asked to board the boat to see Zhao Pan'er when he heard Zhao Pan'er's music on the West Lake.

But even though he was well-informed, he had never seen the dance in front of him. He couldn't help but sigh: "I thought the dance in Jiangnan was exciting enough, but I never thought there was such a beautiful dance. I didn't know how good this dance was.

What is it?"
