Chapter 184 Lanting

Hong Pangpang's store is on Xingfu Road. It has five stores and a very wide entrance.

Before reaching the store, Song Yunfei had a faint smile on his face.

When he entered the store, he was already beaming with joy and could not suppress his smile.

He had originally spent five hundred taels of silver to buy this shop from Zhou Yang as a gift to Lu Sheige. Now that he had opened the shop, Shege invited him to the shop for dinner. Needless to say, it was Shege who was telling him.

She took over the shop and brought him here for dinner today. She treated him like an older brother.

In the past few years, he has given the Lu family New Year's gifts every year, and the Lu family has also given him generous holiday gifts. He felt that Sister Shege was so clearly separated from him, which made him very unhappy.

Now seeing these five restaurants with their doors open, Song Yunfei's original little entanglement immediately disappeared.

Song Shisan asked curiously: "The name Hong Pangpang is a bit strange. What's the origin?"

"There's no origin." Lu Xiangge raised his hand to signal everyone to go ahead, "My father caught two red carps in Hong Lake. They were extra big, red and fat, so he picked one from the store."

What she didn't say was that Lu Quan catches two red carp in that water area every year. Of course, Lu Xiangge must be present every time. We tried it last year, but Lu Xiange didn't get on the boat. Lu Quan went to catch it, but the net was empty. Later,

Lu Sheige got on the boat and caught two red carps in one net.

As for other people, no matter how many times they go, they have never encountered a single red carp.

Except for the two fishes in the first year that were sold for one or two cents, the fish from the second year were kept. Now several branches of Hongpangpang have red carps caught by Lu Quan, which are exceptionally well-raised.

The layout of the store is simple and elegant. As soon as you enter, you will see dozens of tables arranged in an orderly manner. Long tables and short tables are staggered at intervals. The tables are separated by wooden rails. Flowers and plants are placed on the rails. The vines are winding and cleverly arranged.

Separate the two tables.

Each table is an independent space, but can be seen from other tables.

When everyone eats in the same room, it is not crowded and has its own world, which makes people feel a lot more happy.

Lu Sheige walked in and was immediately greeted by a familiar boy who led the three of them into the backyard.

The two floors of the front hall of Hong Pang Pang are full of individual customers. They come and go, eat and leave, and then turn over the tables to replace the guests at the next table.

Only in the backyard, there are about ten independent living rooms upstairs and downstairs. If you don't book in advance, the tables here cannot be taken.

The orchid hall that Lu Qingluan ordered for Lu Sheige was fragrant as soon as he entered. The room was full of spider plants, all placed at random, and some pots were still blooming.

"Eh."

Song Shisan couldn't help but stepped forward, "Isn't this the colorful leaf spider plant? Not bad, not bad, it's really well maintained."

While talking and admiring, I looked at several pots of orchids in the house one by one, and finally turned back to the colorful spider plant and praised it again and again.

Lu Sheige smiled and stepped forward: "If Mr. Song likes it, go back and ask the store to bring a pot back to the capital to keep."

"This..." Song Shisan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No, no, a gentleman will not take away someone's love, I just want to take a look at this Chlorophytum."

"What's there to love?" Lu Xiangge pointed to a few pots of flowers in the room and said, "The most indispensable thing in this store is all kinds of flowers and plants. Even if they grow well, it's all because they are well cultivated in the flower garden. The flowers here are

Flowers and plants are changed once a month. When the flowering period is about to decline quickly, it needs to be changed every ten days and a half. Like this pot of orchids, if there are not more than a dozen replacement pots in the flower garden, I would not dare to put them here. It is not a rare thing. "

Song Shisan didn't expect that the colorful-leaf spider plant that he couldn't put down would not be a rare thing in the eyes of others.

He hesitated for a moment, and when the pot bottoms in the store were served and all kinds of vegetables and meats were piled on the table, he asked: "Where is the flower garden you mentioned? Can you take me to see it?"

Song Shisan was less than thirty years old. He had been practicing writing and literacy since he was a child. In addition to obtaining fame, he was also very interested in cultivating flowers and grass.

He was a Jinshi for the first year of Dashang Dynasty, and later entered the Imperial College as Jiao Yu, and married the young daughter of the Imperial College who offered wine as his wife.

In addition to teaching and educating people, I spend my whole day raising flowers and plants at home with my wife.

Now when I heard Lu Shengge say that there was a flower garden, I couldn't even eat. I wanted to go and see it right away.

Song Yunfei picked up a few pieces of meat with his chopsticks, rinsed them in the pot, and put them on the dishes with the sauce prepared: "Uncle Thirteen, can you eat first? I'm already hungry."

Song Shisan blushed for a moment: "I'm in trouble, let's eat first."

Ever since the Fumanlou branch opened in the capital, and then the Red Pang Pang and Haoxiang came to compete for business, everyone in the capital who had some spare money would have visited these three stores.

It was not the first time for everyone to eat. They picked their favorite dishes and chatted while cooking them. For a moment, they all felt a little closer.

Needless to say, Song Yunfei, but Tang Jinming did so because Lu Quan saved his father back then.

Lu Sheige only found out last year that the man she and Lu Quan went to Nanyang to save from drowning was the current Anping Marquis Tang Qi, who was Tang Jinming's biological father.

It was not until Tang Qi led an army to capture the city of Suzhou, and the dragon sons and grandsons of the former dynasty and all the concubines were buried in the fire, that the Great Shang Kingdom was stable, and Tang Qi was named the Marquis of Anping, then he came to Jiangjiaba to look for people.

Doctor Xie said that Tang Qi was a member of the Hongying Army, but he was actually a Hongying Army. That day, Lu Quan sent people to Tutu Temple, and Tang Qi woke up and left on his own. When Doctor Xie arrived, Tang Qi had disappeared.

.

As for why Dr. Xie didn't let Lu Quan send Tang Qi to the pharmacy, but why he went to the Tutu Temple to pick him up, Lu Sheige still hasn't figured it out.

However, Lu Quan didn't mention this matter to Tang Qi, so Lu Sheige naturally wouldn't bother to ask.

Jiangjiaba's pharmacy is still open, but the doctor has been replaced.

Dr. Xie entered Beijing five years ago, and I heard that he has now entered the Imperial Medical Office and has become an imperial physician with an official position.

Lu Xiuge didn't eat much food. Most of the time she was holding chopsticks and listening to Song Yunfei and the three of them talking.

Although the three of them were chatting casually, since they were from the capital, their words would inevitably contain some information that Lu Shege did not know.

She will go to the capital after the New Year, and is now very interested in the people and things there.

Lu Qingluan did not serve the table and went to the front room to help.

Although Nanyang Hongpangpang is a store opened by the Lu family, this store is not managed by the Lu family, but by the Lu family's second son-in-law, Ding Wu.

The Ding family and the Lu family have a 50-50 split, with the Lu family producing the recipe and the Ding family producing people. The business has been getting better and better in recent years, with branches opening in Beijing, Huaicheng, Yangzhou and other places.

In the eyes of outsiders, Hong Pang Pang and Fu Man Tang are both rivals in the hot pot business. Wherever Fu Man Tang opens, Hong Pang Pang will definitely open a branch opposite it.

But no one knows that the Lu family has shares in both stores.

Competition on the surface is nothing but self-acting and self-directed.

If someone wants to step in and get a piece of the pie, that's not impossible, but all that's left are leftovers, tasteless to chew, and a pity to throw away.
