On the third year of Yuanshuo, the seventh day of the lunar month.

After several days of preparation, Zhang Ji Restaurant finally ushered in its opening day! Early that morning, it was just dawn, so Zhang Ran took Xue Tong and several servants to the restaurant while taking the car.

When the restaurant opened its first business, it is naturally inevitable to invite relatives and friends to support it... What's more, today is different from the past. Zhang Ran has now entered the official career and is in the position of the Prisoner of the Prison. He is also a counselor, with a rank of 600 stones. He is considered a middle-level official, so he must have some of the pomp and necessary interpersonal communication!

Therefore, a few days ago, Zhang Ran began to prepare and to show sincerity, he personally visited the door and sent invitations to several acquaintances in Chang'an City, inviting them to the banquet and attend the opening ceremony of the restaurant.

However, what made Zhang Ran feel embarrassed was that he had just arrived in Chang'an for less than three months, and he knew very few people, so his interpersonal relationships were particularly simple. Acquaintances could count them with one hand. Moreover, even the only people with good relationships refused Zhang Ran's invitation for various reasons.

For example, Zhang Ran first invited his immediate superior, Zhao Yu, the young minister of the young mansion. However, Zhao Yu has always hated social engagements and even ignored the invitations of all officials and ministers. How could he violate the principle because Zhang Ran opened small restaurants? Therefore, Zhang Ran's invitation was rejected on the spot... However, in order to take care of Zhang Ran's face, Zhao Yu did not do anything, and ordered the servants at home to send congratulations to Zhang Ran early.

In addition to Zhao Yu, Wei Qing also declined Zhang Ran's invitation due to busy official duties... Fortunately, although Wei Qing could not come, his nephew Huo Qubing was very interested in Zhang Ran's opening a restaurant. He agreed to Zhang Ran's invitation on the spot and patted his chest and said that he would be on time!

In Wei Qing's mansion, in addition to sending invitations to their uncle and nephew, Zhang Ran also visited the Lord Father Yan and also gave him an invitation to him.

However, because the Lord's Father Yan is now more sensitive, he is not convenient for him to come forward. In addition, his daughter Lord's Father Yue is now seriously ill and is almost "severely ill". He is about to die, so Lord's Father Yan must not come.

The inability of these heavyweight bosses to attend the event made Zhang Ran quite depressed, and at the same time, the opening ceremony of the restaurant was a lot of shame... Therefore, when Zhang Ran came to the door in person and invited Dong Zhongshu to the banquet, and Dong Zhongshu also showed his willingness to refuse, Zhang Ran was immediately anxious!

For this reason, Zhang Ran forced Dong Zhongshu to slap, exhausted his verbal power, and made many benefits, so he reluctantly let Dong Zhongshu down and agreed to attend the opening ceremony of the restaurant.

However, it is obviously not possible to have the opening ceremony, Dong Zhongshu, as the guest. The huge restaurant is enough to accommodate nearly 200 people. It is impossible to just sing a one-man show for them!

Therefore, in order to increase popularity, Zhang Ran could only ask King Wuqiu Shou and ask him to invite some friends to the banquet... Fortunately, King Wuqiu Shou has lived in Chang'an for more than ten years and has made extremely broad friends. It is still very simple to ask some friends to support Zhang Ran.

In this way, the embarrassing dilemma of opening a restaurant but no one came to support it!

......

From the hour of Mao, after coming to the restaurant, Zhang Ran began to take charge of the command, and together with Zhang Erniu, Zhang Shan and others, they were busy setting up the venue, preparing a menu of wine and food, etc.

In addition to setting up the venue and preparing the food and drinks, Zhang Ran also had an extremely important task, which was to discuss the repertoire and the order of the performance with the Handan Dance Orchestra, which arrived at the restaurant yesterday.

According to King Wuqiu Shou, the dance band he hired was a very famous dance music troupe in Handan City. This dance band not only has a large number of staff, but also has proficient rap and dance. Among them, there are not only many beautiful and beautiful Handan dancers who are good at dancing, but also many geisha who are good at drum beats and raps who are good at performing comics, etc.

Although this dance and music troupe is just a folk organization and is not good at the music of Huang Zhong Da Lu, it is difficult to enter the elegant hall. However, because its performance of the 100 operas is very exciting, it is very popular and loved by the people in the city!

It is said that in order to invite them to perform a hundred operas, Wuqiu Shouwang entrusted a lot of relationships and personally visited the leader of the dance band, and explained his feelings and reason. Finally, he moved the other party by relying on his own words and the friendship between his fellow countrymen!

......

Opening a restaurant is not a trivial matter, with all kinds of things complicated and complicated. As the host, Zhang Ran has to coordinate the overall situation, take into account all matters, and all aspects of the restaurant. Therefore, it is inevitable that he is too busy and busy!

At around the hour of Si, just as Zhang Ran was in the kitchen, directing everyone to carry ingredients and count the supplies, King Qiu Shou suddenly broke into the door and hurriedly found Zhang Ran, and said to him with anxiety: "Brother Ran, why are you still procrastinating here? The guests are all starting to come to the door, come with me to welcome the guests!"

As soon as he finished speaking, King Qiu Shou stepped forward, pulled Zhang Ran without saying a word, and ran out the door!

"Uh~" When Zhang Ran was dragged to the entrance of the restaurant by King Wuqiu Shou, he suddenly realized that the sun had already been hanging high in the sky... At the same time, many carriages were stopped outside the restaurant, from time to time, and there were also guests in groups of three or four, dressed in gorgeous clothes, coming down from the carriage and walking towards them!

After seeing this, Zhang Ran quickly adjusted his clothes, straightened his head, and squeezed out a few smiles. With the smiling King Wuqiu Shou, he stood at the door of the restaurant to entertain the guests who came to the banquet!

Because most of the guests present were friends of King Wuqiu Shou, Zhang Ran himself was not familiar with these people, so whenever guests came to the door, King Wuqiu Shou would come forward and greet each other, and would introduce Zhang Ran to the guests who came to the banquet.

After this welcome, Zhang Ran made many new friends through the relationship between King Qiu Shou. It was not until this time that Zhang Ran was surprised to find that King Qiu Shou's social aspects were far beyond his imagination.
