When the Si Family arrived in front of the restaurant, they saw Mr. Xiao, Mr. Geng, Mr. Mu, Grandpa Gu, Gu Jiaojiao, and Su Shuochi standing in a row.
The three people in the middle held large red rosettes tied to a red ribbon in their left hands, and scissors in their right.
Mr. Gu and Geng Ruixian each lit a string of firecrackers. As they went off, the trio with the scissors snipped the red ribbon.
The crowd of onlookers burst into enthusiastic applause. Afterward, the other elders walked over to greet Old Sir Si and Grandma Si.
They then gathered around them, enthusiastically asking all sorts of questions. Mr. Geng even invited Elder Si to go on stage and give a speech.
Given Old Sir Si's current standing, a speech from him would elevate Yuetai Restaurant's reputation to new heights.
Feeling indebted to Gu Jiaojiao over the matter with his granddaughter, Old Sir Si accepted the invitation without hesitation and went on stage to say a few words.
