Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 145 Opening Notes

In Xiantao Prefecture, the He family is the most prestigious family. Grandpa He is not only respected for his high position and power, but also admired by the scholars in Xiantao Prefecture for his talent and knowledge. In this respect, none of Grandpa He's grandfather, father, son, or grandson can compare with him.

His calligraphy and painting were regarded as the best by the contemporary literary giant Weng Lao, and were praised by the former emperor of Chen and the current emperor. His colleagues also loved to ask for his calligraphy.

He was very careful about his reputation and kept himself clean. After he resigned, he returned directly to Xiantao Prefecture, a small prefecture far away from the political center of Kyoto.

He devoted himself to studying calligraphy and painting, and declined all visits from officials or people with ulterior motives.

His last name was He, so he signed his works in his later years as He Dao Ren, implying that he was now like a free and unrestrained crane. Therefore, his writings are now extremely valuable.

It's no wonder some people are so shocked that such a small dessert shop can hang a sign with Mr. He's calligraphy.

However, some people didn't understand the situation, such as Song Sanniang, but this did not prevent her from receiving the affection of Miss He and Mr. He San.

Song Sanniang was so happy that she immediately had someone take down the painting hanging in the most conspicuous place in the store and hang up the words instead.

At this time, the lion dance team that Qin Haodong had invited also arrived, and they started beating gongs and drums outside the door.

Song Sanniang was a bit of a bootlicker and tried to please Master He San, "Master San, can you please set off some firecrackers later?

When the firecrackers go off, there are thousands of ounces of gold. It must be because of you that our shop in the city has such good business."

Master He San glanced at Song Sanniang with a half-smile, and snorted, "Slippery little girl."

The words hanging in the store attracted a crowd of scholars. Qin Haodong stood aside and allowed everyone to watch but not to touch them.

The second and the eldest Song brought the table, and Aunt Cuihua and the others placed the tribute. This time, they also added a roasted suckling pig to the tribute. This was sent by Xushui and the others. Giving away a roasted suckling pig at the opening of the store meant that the business would be as prosperous as the roasted suckling pig.

Song Lao Er burned incense as usual, worshipped the heaven and earth, and the God of Wealth, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

The eldest brother Song brought a kitchen knife, and the second brother Song took the kitchen knife and cut the suckling pig from head to tail. The reason for doing this was also to go for the good meaning, which meant to cut (earn) from the beginning to the end.

The lion team was also not idle, they kept beating gongs and drums, and the two lions were also jumping for joy with great effort, looking very majestic.

They danced at the door, actively interacted with the crowd, and then nimbly jumped into the store to dispel evil spirits.

Finally, they fought with each other to take down the red cloth and Caiqing of the plaque. Song Laoer did the same as the last time he opened the shop, dotting the lion's eyes with a pen. The lions were even more jubilant after being enlightened.

He performed stunts such as climbing over mountains and crossing ridges, climbing high step by step, and leaping into the air, and everyone cheered and applauded.

Aunt Cuihua and the others took the opportunity to throw wedding candies and wedding money into the crowd, and everyone happily picked them up. After everyone had picked them up, Song Laoer called them aside and started to set off firecrackers.

Master He San excitedly lit up the firecrackers and threw them on the ground. The firecrackers crackled and white smoke and the smell of gunpowder immediately filled the air at the entrance of the store.

The opening of the Tian Mi Mi county branch was very smooth and received a very good response. The store was soon filled with people and everyone started to get busy. Song Lao Er also cut up the suckling pig and distributed it to all the guests present.

Because there was no second floor in the restaurant, Miss He and Mr. He San did not stay for dinner and went back home first. The rest of the invited guests were very supportive and stayed in the restaurant for dinner.

During the first few days of the opening of Sweet Honey, the restaurant was packed every day. Although some people came just to join in the fun, some came just to see Mr. He's calligraphy.

However, there were also some old customers of Song Sanniang who heard the news and came to taste the food after knowing the store had opened. But no matter what, the Tianmi County branch was successfully put on track.

Song Laoer and his daughter returned to the city. Nothing in the city had changed. However, Song Sanniang was a little uncomfortable after returning.

Qin Haodong and his sister were not around her. She felt that sometimes when she wanted to talk, she felt that no one would talk to her.

She could only tell herself to accept these changes, because life is long, everyone has to grow up, reunion and separation are common, and everyone will be separated for more time in the future. So she gradually accepted this fact.

That day, she was busy at the counter when Jin Zhaohua and his group came.

"You are such a busy man, you are finally in the store." Jin Zhaohua knocked on the counter. Song Sanniang looked up and said with a smile, "Why, I have been in the store for the past few days."

Jin Zhaohua thought for a moment and said, "We came here twice before, but you were not here."

Song Sanniang thought that it was probably because she was busy opening a branch store in the county, so she explained it to her.

Jin Zhaohua was just talking casually, Jin Zhengan and the others had already gone upstairs and sat down.

Jin Zhaohua simply walked into the counter and talked to Song Sanniang. She smiled and stretched out her wrist, dangling the gold bracelet on her wrist in front of Song Sanniang.

"Look, does the gold bracelet you gave me look good on me?"

Song Sanniang nodded, "It looks good, worthy of being a gift from me."

Jin Zhaohua couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, "I was supposed to show off, but now it seems like you're the one showing off."

Song Sanniang joked, "It's all the same. We can join forces and win together."

Jin Zhaohua listened to Song Sanniang's words and thought for a moment, "Hey, your words are very interesting. I like it. Haha, it's a win-win situation."

Then she leaned close to Song Sanniang's ear and said, "You know what? Your things really came in handy."

Song Sanniang was a little surprised and asked, "What happened? Who of you got into trouble?"

Jin Zhaohua patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay. Thanks to your things, we are all fine." Then she whispered to Song Sanniang's ear.

It turned out that all her uncle's men had been cleared out, but he didn't know how he had persuaded Old Master Jin. Old Master Jin actually arranged for one of his trusted housekeepers to kidnap Young Master Zhengren to threaten everyone.

Because everyone in the mansion had been cleared, everyone relaxed their vigilance. The housekeeper was also an old man in the mansion, so the people in Young Master Zhengren's courtyard were not on guard against him.

Fortunately, Master Zhengren was still excited about the gift Song Sanniang gave him, and he was still playing with it. When the housekeeper inexplicably asked Master Zhengren to go with him, Master Zhengren realized that he was a bad guy.

Even though Young Master Zhengren was very young, he knew what was going on at the Jin residence. He was very smart. He pretended to follow the man, then took out his folding fan, pressed the switch and shot at the man.

In his panic, the silver needle of the folding fan shot into the man's eyes. The man screamed in pain and blood flowed from his eyes, which frightened Master Zhengren.

Although the man was dealt with, Young Master Zhengren was so frightened that he fell ill, so he did not come along this time.

A child like this must be scared to death facing such a situation. Not to mention him, Song Sanniang herself felt scared just thinking about it.
