More than a thousand taels of silver turned into two copper plates in the blink of an eye, and Xu Yan's mouth couldn't close. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

With his intelligence, he could see the banker's previous tricks in secret, but he didn't expect that people would have such a hand.

Those three officials didn't come early or late, but they came to stir up the situation when he was about to win thousands of taels of silver, and they were clearly in the same league as this gambling house.

If the people don't fight with the officials, they can't fight anymore.

Leaving the gambling house dejectedly, Xu Yan and Mei Sanniang looked at each other and smiled bitterly, two copper plates were not worth the previous twenty taels of silver.

At least twenty taels of silver can be eaten for a long time, and two copper plates can be eaten for a meal, or steamed bread and pickles.

Back to the dilapidated restaurant, Xu Yan is nothing, he falls asleep when he is full, the little black pig is even more heartless, huddled with Xu Yan, as for whether there is food tomorrow, that is tomorrow's business, isn't there such a sentence, tomorrow and tomorrow, tomorrow will fight hares.

With a stunt, the little Taoist can't starve to death in this life, as long as the rabbits and pheasants in the mountains are not extinct, Xu Yan can eat a full stomach every day.

He didn't worry, but Mei Sanniang was in turmoil.

A woman guards a dilapidated restaurant, can't do any business, let alone support her family, she is a young lady from a big family, she was kicked out of the house, if she lives like a beggar, what face does she have to face those family members who look down on her?

A sleepless night, a woman with red and swollen eyes sat in the lobby of the restaurant all night, and when the sky was just dawning, someone came to the door.

The person who came was not to eat and drink, and besides, there was not even a complete chair in the restaurant, unless a blind man or a beggar would come, or an acquaintance.

It was not a blind beggar who came, but really an acquaintance of Mei Sanniang, who met Li Gui in Lijia Town.

"Third sister, why did you move here, let me find it. ”

Li Gui came by himself, and there was a pity in his eyebrows, the third lady of the Mei family had to wear gold and silver when she went out, and there were groups of maids, and now she has ended up in this step.

Li Gui is also just busy with business rushed back to Fengshan City, the Li family and the Mei family are world friends, just came back he learned that Mei Sanniang was married out of the house, and later found Shen Liu, who was red-eyed, in the big gambling house in the west of the city, gave him ten taels of silver to inquire about Mei Sanniang's regret of marriage, looked left and right, and finally found Mei Sanniang in this dilapidated restaurant.

Seeing the old man, Mei Sanniang sighed, shook her head and smiled bitterly.

Li Gui and Mei Sanniang have a very good relationship, they grew up behind others when they were children, and they regard Mei Sanniang as their own sister, the Li family has long seen that Mei Sanniang is not treated by the Mei family, and the elders will not care, but Li Gui decided to come to visit, if there is anything he can help, he will try his best to help.

"Third sister, has you decided to set up your own door?" Li Gui looked around the restaurant with interest, and said: "The place is not small, but it is too shabby, as long as it is cleaned up, it must be a good place, and the third sister must be short of money." ”

It is the shrewd age, since Li Gui can run a business for the family, it means that he can already take charge of himself, how can he not see Mei Sanniang's distress at this time.

"This restaurant is all the net worth of your third sister. Mei Sanniang said with a wry smile.

"I know that the third sister is a master who doesn't like to ask for help. Li Gui said, took out a silver ticket of three thousand taels from his arms, and said: "A little bit of the younger brother's heart, I hope to solve the urgent need of the third sister." ”

Three thousand taels is not a small amount, ordinary people can't make so much money in a few lifetimes, looking at the silver ticket in her hand, Mei Sanniang's eyes are red.

"The kindness of the Li brothers, the third sister received it, I borrowed this money, and in less than two years, the third sister will definitely pay it off. ”

"The third sister is outside, hey, okay it's up to you, but I'm going to come to cheer when it opens, haha. ”

Sure enough, it was a nobleman, Xu Yan rubbed his eyes and heard the movement outside, and when he came out, Li Gui had already left, and when he saw Mei Sanniang dancing in the hall, he thought she had committed epilepsy, so he hurriedly went over to check, and he had to help others hire some craftsmen.

If you have money, you can do things, watching the dilapidated restaurant look new day by day, Xu Yan is also very happy, and he mixes in the mason pile all day long to help with the work.

Although he likes to eat and sleep, the little Taoist priest is not lazy, and he still rushes to do the work, besides, once the restaurant opens, Xu Yan can be regarded as a good place to eat and drink for nothing.

The main door has been renovated, and the restaurant has not only built three floors, but also has a long corridor leading to the backyard, which has a more elaborate small building, and the aroma of the private rooms is fragrant, and the two buildings are all made like palaces.

Every time he sees this restaurant built by himself, Xu Yan has a feeling of happiness in his heart.

The master is gone, he has another third sister, and he can be regarded as having a relative in the world, as for the girl that the third sister often brings back from outside or the woman with silky eyes, Xu Yan is not surprised.

The young lady of a big family, how can there be no servants waiting, but the third sister bought too many maids, which are more than thirty.

Three months later, the Meixiang Building, located on Xiliu Street in the east of the city, was finally officially completed.

Standing at the gate, Xu Yan, who was forcibly replaced by Mei Sanniang, was wearing a brocade dress, with red lips and white teeth at a young age, looking like the son of a family, looking at the archway on the top of the building with a smile.

Mei Xiang Lou, nice name.

The three-story restaurant is so high!

Xu Yan is intoxicated with the beautiful life of eating and drinking for nothing in the future, the firecrackers around him are lit by someone, crackling and crackling, the smoke and dust are billowing at the door, and the neighbors are looking at each other.

This is the opening.

Xiliu Street is only one of the streets and alleys in the east of the city, the long street is full of people coming and going, lively, there are not many shops on both sides of the street, Meixianglou can be said to be the leader, the most conspicuous in Xiliu Street.

When the business opens, there will naturally be guests coming to the door, Xu Yan's task is to act as a doorman, ushering in the door, this kind of work is enough as long as a smiling face, there is no need to talk much, and the guests will naturally have a small service to entertain when they enter the store.

Laughter is the easiest, especially giggling.

The smiling little Taoist priest put on a harmless smiling face at the door, and his brand-new clothes looked festive, not to mention, there were generous guests who threw a handful of copper coins over, and there were more than ten copper plates.

Finally found a good errand, Xu Yan's smile became even happier, but as there were more and more guests, the smile on Xu Yan's face became more and more stiff.

It wasn't that I was tired of laughing, but that I heard some of the guests talking at the door.

"Brother Li, please, haha, today the little brother is the east, our business is in this Meixiang Lou to talk about it, his dancer heard that she is as beautiful as a flower, the deal is negotiated, we are drunk and resting, and it is called fast when there are beauties. ”

"Ah Qi Yuanwai, look up for a long time, please hurry up, please, this Meixiang Building has just opened, and it is said that even the head card of the Yuhong Building has been dug up, haha. ”

"Master Su, you slow down, it's only noon, this Qinglou is newly opened, what are you anxious about?"

The endless stream of high rollers were all men, not even a single woman, looking at all kinds of people, Xu Yan's jaw was about to fall to the ground.

Qinglou?

Isn't Meixianglou a restaurant, how did it become a green building?

I'm a Taoist priest, how can I live in the Qinglou!
