It's almost noon, which is when pubs and restaurants should be doing good business.
Unexpectedly, Yiguo Dangguan in the middle of the cross street is closed to thank customers.
Even the banner that usually hung high and fluttered in the wind with the four characters "Yiguo Dangguan" written on it was put down and hung wilting at the door.
It’s not just that one pot is closed.
In fact, most of the most prosperous restaurants in this area are not open.
There are only one or two with half doors open, so that familiar and old customers can sit down for a while or order a few dishes.
Take away the food box.
"The shareholders in charge of this pot should be people from the government."
Feng Shiqian somewhat understood.
"Of course."
Yurong said with a smile: "If you can do business here, how can you do it without a backstage?"
The folk customs in Suzhou are tough, and doing business is not about making money by being friendly.
You have to focus on the business with one hand and the backstage with the other.
Only by being strong on both hands can you stand firm.
"Now that the victims are gathering in Yanzhou, I'm afraid that Yanzhou won't be able to sustain it for a few days.
In a few days, a large number of victims will come over.
Those who are slightly conscious will naturally hide."
Feng Shiqian explained.
Now is not a good time to be particular about eating and drinking.
Robbing the rich and giving to the poor is not the exclusive domain of charlatans.
In a time of great disaster like this, if the victims do not handle it well, it will be a disaster.
For officials, it is the source of dismissal.
How dare they accidentally manage the gentry and prominent families?
Of course, those with money must provide money, those with food, and those with strength must contribute.
Otherwise, can the officials solve the problems of thousands of disaster victims with just two words of official words?
A high-end shop like Yi Guo Dang Guan would of course close its doors and pretend to be poor at this juncture.
What's more, even if the restaurant is open, no one dares to come to eat.
Whoever comes to eat means who has the money.
How dare you spend so lavishly and not hand over the money for disaster relief?
After Feng Shiqian said this, Yurong reacted belatedly: "Yes, not only are many restaurants closed, but also many jewelry shops and silk shops are closed.
I thought it was a bit strange before, how can it be so normal?
Let’s all take a rest today.”
In fact, the atmosphere in Suzhou City is quite tense and the market is also very depressed.
The carriage wandered around for a long time, but could not find a decent place to stop for a meal and rest.
Finally, Feng Shiqian pointed to a noodle shop and suggested: "How about this one?
Since we are here to observe people's livelihood, I always It’s better to keep your posture down.
You see there are so many people here, I think it tastes good.”
This noodle shop is at the corner of the street, and there are three or four restaurants nearby, which are somewhat similar to food stalls.
However, this noodle shop is very crowded, with many more customers than other restaurants.
Xia Xiaodong got off the carriage and immediately understood the source of the strange expressions on Feng Shiqian and Lu Yunzhi.
The boy sitting next to the coachman was wearing clothes that were clearly similar to those of the Xia sisters.
The boy was blocked by the driver and could not see clearly.
Now that we got out of the car, there were several people together, and they looked like they were all Feng Shiqian's followers.
Xia Xiaodong almost laughed.
It seems that Suzhou City has seriously failed to keep up with the trend.

The clothes Mrs.
Zhuang brought out were similar to those worn by the servants of the young masters in the capital.
If word of it spread out, it would almost be a joke.
But the boy was very smart.
When he saw the clothes colliding, he immediately lifted up the front of the robe and tucked it into his belt.
This way, he looked different immediately, and it was much easier to move.
He turned around and went to the back of the carriage to get something.
When he came out again, he put on his upper body Adding a short cloth shirt made it even more different.
Several people entered the noodle shop and immediately stared at the people in the noodle shop.
These people have extraordinary bearings and are neatly dressed.
From head to toe, they don't look like the people who should be here.
This is because everyone deliberately kept it simple, and Lu Yunzhi also wore a curtain hat, otherwise, he would probably be dizzy.
The only two waiters didn't dare to come over at all.
Finally, the short and fat man who looked like a shopkeeper behind the counter came to greet them in a hurry and placed a few people on a table in the corner.
The accompanying boy was obviously quite experienced, and he quickly took out a tablecloth and spread it on the elm table.
Then, like magic, he took out a white porcelain teapot and several white porcelain teacups.
Xia Xiaodong lowered his head and looked at the suitcase in the boy's hand, feeling deeply that even servants can be smart.
"Here," the boy handed several large bowls and deep plates to the shopkeeper, "use these and I will reward you all later.
Just bring the ones who are good at it.
By the way, let the ones who hold the spoons and those who serve the dishes go. , wash your hands well."
The shopkeeper's head almost hit the ground and he kept saying yes.
He couldn't help but feel so happy.
These dishes alone were worth a lot of money.
People would dislike them after using them outside once.
He could make a lot of money this time.
At that moment, a lot of people were asked to get hot water to see what was going on.
It was obvious that they would not use the coarse tea leaves in the store.
Naturally, this table got priority, and a large bowl of noodles and several dishes were served in a blink of an eye.
Lu Yunzhi separated the gauze in front of the curtain hat to both sides, looked at the mutton noodles in front of him, and said with a smile: "It smells quite fragrant.
Brother Feng Qi chose a good place."
The mountains outside the city are a good place for herding sheep, and mutton is more common than pork.
The braised lamb is cut into large thin slices, accompanied by green onions and coriander, and is full of flavor.
Xia Xiaodong tasted it and found that the noodles here were quite special.
It was not white noodles but a serious luxury product, but it could not be seen that it was ground from coarse grains.
It was light yellow in color, with a strong grain aroma, and had a chewy texture in the mouth. , slightly sour and spicy, I couldn't stop eating it, and I ate the whole bowl without realizing the sweat on my forehead.
Xia Xiaodong raised his head after someone kicked him on the leg, and found out why everyone was so polite.
The girls were just that, even Feng Shiqian only ate half of the bowl.
This was going to happen in Does Lu Yunzhi pretend to be cool in front of him?
Zhang Wenjuan lowered the corner of her mouth with obvious contempt.
She took out a delicate light cyan silk handkerchief, wiped her mouth gently, pushed the bowl of noodles that she had only eaten a little, and said with a smile: "The taste is still good."
It’s really good.
But I had a few bites of cloud leg, shrimp and golden noodles this morning, but now I can’t eat it anymore.”
Xia Xiaodong looked down at his noodle bowl with only a little soup left, and reluctantly remembered that there were only two or three pieces of mutton in it.
It's really incomparable.
It seems that Zhang Wenjuan's skills have improved, and she has actually learned to roundaboutly sarcastically say that she has not eaten good food.

Yurong's face elongated.
Magistrate Zhang served as an official in the capital before he was sent to other places.
He learned how to eat fine food and never tire of delicate food in the capital.
Since he came to Suzhou, he has brought a trend of gourmet food.
But now when Lu Yunzhi and Feng Shiqian openly slap each other in the face and show off that her breakfast is exquisite and delicious, it makes people feel bad.
Yu Rong angrily picked up the noodle bowl and took two big bites.
"Tsk" Zhang Wenjuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Are these two sisters good ricers?
They can still eat so deliciously at the Liba people’s noodle shop.
Feng Shiqian looked worried.
All the high-end restaurants were closed, so he had no choice but to choose this one.
Zhang Wenjuan's move was actually a mockery of the Xia sisters, but it was also demeaning this place.
What's more, the Xia sisters were the guests he invited, and they were in the name of Lu Yunzhi.
Zhang Wenjuan embarrassed the guests, where did Zhang Wenjuan put the guests?
But before Feng Shiqian could say anything, Lu Yunzhi spoke first.
"Sister Wenjuan, this is not right for you
