Xu Hong was in the back directing the people to prepare the ingredients and stew the soup stock. She seldom did anything now, but only supervised and reminded the ingredients, etc., which were all done by the apprentices she brought out.

The restaurant has not hired any other chefs, they are all from Fangjiacun, so there is no fear of anyone stealing the chef's skills.

Xu Hong was very happy to see them back. After chatting with them for a few words, she started making food for them herself.

All the ingredients were readily available, and with so many people helping out, a table of dishes was ready in no time.

Anyway, it was not time for dinner, so Xu Hong called Fang Youhui and Fang Youfu to come and sit with them. The two men chatted and drank with Liu Dazhuang.

At this time, I heard a scream of "Ah" coming from the corridor in the lobby in front of the backyard.

Everyone stopped holding chopsticks, and several brothers stood up one after another, wanting to see what was going on.

Jiayin directly probed her consciousness, stretched out her hand and patted her forehead. She had completely forgotten about Pangpang.

When they got off the car before, the fat guy was sleeping soundly, so they didn't wake him up.

They are also used to it. When they arrive at an inn or restaurant, they don't ask Pangpang to get off the bus, but just bring him something to eat afterwards.

Nao Nao must have talked to Pangpang just now, so Pangpang ran out on his own.

As a result, I met the waiter from the restaurant and was shocked.

Jiayin said to everyone: "I'll go take a look, and you can continue to eat."

Fang Zhiyuan and Fang Zhigang wanted to follow, but Jiayin pushed them down on their seats, "It's okay, I guess Pangpang ran out."

The Fang brothers suddenly looked at each other, and they had also forgotten about Pangpang.

Jiayin trotted all the way to the aisle, first comforting the scared little guy who turned pale.

"Don't be afraid, I raised it and it is very docile."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched his big fat head.

Fatty nuzzled her.

Seeing that the big guy looked docile and harmless, the little guy swallowed his saliva and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Ma'am, please keep an eye on it. Guests will be served soon. It would be bad if it scares the guests."

Jiayin nodded, "I will, and I won't let it leave my side again."

He nodded to the waiter again, then took his big fat paw and entered the lobby.

As soon as they entered the lobby, Xu Hong, Fang Youfu and several other waiters all looked over.

It seems that Fang Zhiyuan and the others had just told them about Pang Pang, so when they saw Pang Pang, everyone only had curiosity and no fear in their eyes.

Fang Youfu stood up and walked over, stopped one step away from Pangpang and said, "This is Pangpang, he is really big."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand tentatively to touch it. Seeing that Pangpang didn't dodge or show a fierce look, he rest assured and put his hand on Pangpang's arm.

He touched it lightly and then took it back.

It's really quite well-behaved. This is the legendary iron-eating beast.

Their restaurant is famous in Nanyue County, so there are many merchants coming and going. They have actually heard of the name of this iron-eating beast.

I just didn't expect that I would be able to meet him by chance and be won over by the good news.

I heard that this iron-eating beast never leaves the mountains. It only appears in Dongshan County. It is a unique beast there.

Although he is not very aggressive, he is not even afraid of tigers.

Moreover, the food I eat is said to be hard bamboo, so imagine how amazing its bite force is.

In his opinion, the hardness of bamboo is no different from that of bones. If you can chew bamboo, you can break human bones.

I always thought that with such a powerful name, he must also look fierce, but I didn't expect that he is so big and looks so naive.

When Fang Youfu touched Pangpang just now, he twitched his furry ears and tilted his head to look at him.

To be honest, if it were a few laps smaller, he couldn't help but hold it in his arms and move it.

Xu Hong couldn't help but walked over. Seeing Jiayin holding its big paw, she couldn't help but pick up its other big paw and squeeze it gently.

Fatty was pinched so much that he screamed.

Xu Hong couldn't help laughing when she heard this voice, "You are so big and your voice is so soft. You are really different from what you say."

I couldn't help but raise my hand and touch the black ear that was shaking all the time.

Pangpang was squeezed more comfortably, his eyes narrowed, and he made a sound like a sheep.

Xu Hong and Fang Youfu were surprised, "Can it still meow like a sheep?"

Jiayin said: "It knows several kinds of barks. When it's angry, it barks like a dog. Normally it barks. When it feels comfortable and happy, it barks like a sheep."

The two of them were amazed when they heard this, and raised and lowered their hands around Pangpang.

It was Fang Zhiqiang and Fang Zhiwen who urged them to hurry up and eat quickly. After a while, the guests would be waiting in the lobby, so they returned to the dining table.

Everyone finished their lunch early while chatting and laughing, and Xu Hong asked Fang Youfu to stay here.

She had already finished explaining the affairs of the kitchen, so there was no need to keep an eye on them, so she took them back to the small courtyard in the county town.

We bought two small courtyards in total. Fang Youfu and his wife lived in one, and she, Fang Youhui and their children lived in another.

The child was still young and was not old enough for enlightenment, so he followed them to the county town and was watched over by the maids and women at home.

They hired a mother-in-law and a little maid here. They didn't feel at ease if it was mainly just one person. The two of them could supervise each other.

The mother-in-law is responsible for taking care of the children, while the maid is responsible for cleaning the two yards and other trivial matters.

Fang Youfu's wife returned to Fangjia Village and was not here. Their two children were attending private school in the village. She had to go back to visit from time to time, so she ran in both directions.

Only when they arrived at the small courtyard did they realize that it was said to be a small courtyard, but it actually had two entrances.

The one in the back is occupied by Xu Hong, his wife and their children, and the one in the front is occupied by the aunt and sister-in-law who came from Fangjiacun together.

There are doors at the front and back, so you can go through the front door both ways, or you can go through one door each, which is quite convenient.

Fang Youfu's side is a small courtyard where they live. It's much smaller than here.

The waiters in the store go back to their homes after work. They are basically local people in Nanyue City. The restaurant only provides three meals and no accommodation, which is convenient.

They went directly to the backyard. There were many vacant rooms in the large yard, but they were not cleared out because no one was living in them.

Xu Hong helped them pack up three rooms, seven men lived in two rooms, and three women lived in one room.

They planned to stay one night tonight and return to Fangjiacun tomorrow, taking Liu Yuer and others for a walk around Nanyue County.

After Xu Hong arranged for them, she chatted with them for a while and then went to the restaurant again.

When they got up from a nap, Fang Zhiwu and Fang Zhiqiang took Yang Huiyun, Liu Yuer and Liu Dazhuang out for a wander.

When you get here, there is no need to do activities together. It is troublesome to go shopping with many people. It is better to go separately and go shopping wherever you want.

Besides, Jiayin and the others had been to the county town many times before, so they were already very familiar with it and didn't bother to go shopping.

Jiayin and the others had nothing to do, so they went out at home to buy the seafood and some other local special ingredients.

Prepare to sort it out and leave it to Xu Hong.

The reason why I didn't take it out from the restaurant was, of course, because I couldn't expose the existence of the storage bag.

After all, there are a lot of people there, so it would be bad if others see you.

Divide out the fruits they picked before and put them into a small storage bag after dividing them into equal portions. Then just give them to Xu Hong.

The remaining ones are going to be taken back to Fangjia Village and divided among each household.

Leave a share of the glassware and clocks for Xu Hong and Fang Youfu. Anyway, they spend most of their time here in the county, so just leave them here.

I think it would be better to put the clock in a restaurant, so you can check the time at any time, which is very convenient.

There are also those glasses that can be used to hold wine. Using these glasses for wine will probably increase the price.

There are also oil lamps with glass covers. Candles are always lit during dinner in restaurants. After all, the light of oil lamps is too dim and the lobby is too big. If too many are lit, it will be smoky and the guests will feel uncomfortable.

But those candles are also expensive, and I have to light a dozen of them every night. It's much better to have this one. It's as bright as a candle, and it can also be hung on the beams.

It is said that the brightness is brighter under high lamps. If the lamp is placed high, the brightness below will be greater.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fear of being robbed, Jiayin would have wanted to leave a small night pearl for them.

When we collected the treasure trove of the Banyue Kingdom royal family, we collected several luminous pearls.

They come in all sizes, the smallest one is only as big as a thumbnail, but its brightness is equivalent to three or four candles burning at the same time.

When they couldn't find a place to set up camp along the way and were traveling at night, Jiayin would take out the little night pearl, put it in the glass cover, and hang it in front of the car for lighting.

If you don't look carefully, you might think it's the candlelight inside the lantern.

Of course, they have also done some processing. After all, the luminous pearl itself emits sparkling white light or some yellow-green light.

So they bought some yellow silk thread and wrapped it in a thin layer, so that if you didn't look carefully, you would think it was yellow fire.

Although the brightness will be slightly reduced, it is still no problem to illuminate the road ahead.

Xu Hong came back at midnight, when most restaurants close.

Jiayin and the others had a rest in the afternoon, so they were not sleepy yet and sat in the main room chatting.
