Chapter Seventy-Eight: Listing, Wangwang
Under the shade of the trees in the small courtyard, Zhao Hao and Fan Datong talked while eating tea.
"What about the Dabao'en Temple?" Zhao Hao poured Fan Datong a cup of tea for the first time, which flattered Lao Fan and took it with both hands.
"I went, Master Xuelang also invited me to have tea, but I didn't expect that the monk's house was really extravagant, that is, the beauty picture of the deputy Tang Bohu was hung, which was easy to distract."
Fan Datong recalled with a voice that what he saw and heard in Xuelang couldn't replace him.
"What did he say?" Zhao Hao looked at Fan Datong tightly, Xuelang's reply was much more important than Ma Xianglan's.
"The mage read your letter and said, 'Cheesy, too cheesy.'" Fan Da's tone of Xuelang shook his head and shook his head, which made Zhao Hao want to strangle him.
"Then he just won't help?" Zhao Hao's heart was cold, how could things be yellow nine times out of ten? Isn't the monk true love for me?
"No, he said that he would go all out and invite the most famous gourmets in Nanjing City to give you a delicious taste." Fan Datong said with a smile: "Because he wants to help you get rid of poverty as soon as possible, so that you can concentrate on poetry creation." ”
"Uh, okay......" Zhao Hao nodded with a smile, this monk, just a favor, makes people so unhappy.
"He asked you to tell him in advance when Wei Jixian would open, so he had time to invite diners." Fan Datong added: "Just tell me one day in advance, he said that as long as he said hello, others would appreciate his face." ”
Zhao Hao threw the yellow calendar in his hand into Fan Datong's arms, and said: "Then it will be listed tomorrow and open the day after tomorrow!" ”
"So fast?" Fan Datong and Qiaoqiao were surprised.
"Since everything is ready, do you have to wait for the New Year?" Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows, and there were no clouds.
~~
After breakfast the next day, Fang De came over to invite Zhao Hao to hang a plaque for the restaurant.
Although it will officially open tomorrow, the listing is also a major event, and the owner naturally cannot be absent.
Zhao Hao happily agreed, and with the help of Qiaoqiao, he stepped on the light Chen Qiao satin shoes, put on a new light blue lake silk summer robe, tied with an indigo brocade belt, hung a white jade pendant around his waist, and finally put on a newly knotted black silk mesh scarf.
The net scarf is a sign of a man's adulthood, and Zhao Hao put it on in advance, purely to pretend to be mature in front of the people below.
When the costume stopped, he stared at the slightly blurry bronze mirror for a long time, and he didn't see his handsome appearance clearly, and couldn't help but miss the delicate silver bronze mirror on the squire's mansion......
"Okay, don't be stinky and beautiful," Qiaoqiao covered her mouth and smiled: "Hurry up, everyone is waiting for you!" ”
"Okay." Zhao Hao took the gold fan handed over by Qiaoqiao, opened it and shook it, but he felt that it was a little too much, so he threw it back to her and went out empty-handed.
~~
By the time he got to the front, the restaurant was already full of people inside and out.
In addition to the two shopkeepers Fang, the Gao family father and son, Yu Jiachang father and son, the elder brother Zhao Jin, Wu Yu and his wife, as well as the two hired chefs, four assistant chefs, and four running halls, are all waiting for the arrival of the owner at the door of the restaurant.
The neighbors also came to see the excitement, and when they saw Zhao Hao, they didn't say anything to congratulate, it looked like it was opening today.
"The boss is here, let go of the whip!" Yu Peng hurriedly shouted loudly.
Then there were sturdy men who lit the red all over the ground, crackling, smoky, red dust all over the ground, very festive.
The couplets of the restaurant have long been hung, but they are covered with red silk, and I don't know the content. When the plaque is hung up, the restaurant is ready to open and ready to open.
Zhao Hao covered his ears and watched Gao Wu and Wu Yu step on the ladder and hang the plaque covered with red satin on the lintel of the restaurant.
Amidst applause, Zhao Hao invited the neighbors to visit the store.
I saw that the restaurant renovated by this blacksmith shop has no traces of iron, and the original three-fold ground with thick soot has been paved with red pine wood floors that have just been brushed with tung oil. The walls are also freshly painted, and all kinds of calligraphy and paintings are hung.
In the lobby, there are only six Eight Immortal Tables with red acid branches, and the distance between the tables is very spacious, and after each is equipped with eight comfortable circle chairs, it can also accommodate two people walking side by side.
In the end, Shopkeeper Fang still followed Zhao Jin's suggestion and moved the counter back three feet. With three tables reduced, the lobby looks very spacious. In addition, a wooden platform with a height of one foot can be set up at the opposite corner of the counter as a place for the luthier to play.
Behind the large wenge counter, there is a bogu shelf-like wine shelf suspended in the air, and on top of it is a dazzling variety of fine wines, which makes people feel intoxicated as soon as they enter.
The neighbors of Caijia Lane, who have ever entered such an elegant and exquisite restaurant, are a little constrained for a while, lest they break it or get dirty.
"Feel free to do so, everybody." Zhao Hao beckoned everyone upstairs with a spring breeze on his face and said, "I still expect everyone to give more opinions." ”
Speak as if he could listen......
The stairs up the stairs are dust-cleaned, and upstairs are divided into four private rooms, which are called 'Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter'.
Before Zhao Hao could open his mouth to show off, he heard a noisy scolding sound at the door of the restaurant.
Immediately afterwards, I heard a few broken gongs shouting downstairs: "Don't get out of the way, the official is doing something!" ”
"Dare to stop the poor master, do you want to rebel?!"
The neighbors all looked at Zhao Hao, but Zhao Hao smiled casually: "A little thing, the shopkeeper will handle it, let's continue." ”
So saying, he led someone upstairs to show the difference between his four private rooms......
~~
Downstairs in the hotel, the atmosphere was already very tense.
Li Jiutian, an official from Shangyuan County, took eight or nine white servants and wanted to break into the store.
Gao Wu stopped at the door with a few men, not allowing them to go in and make trouble.
"Gao Wu, don't be embarrassed, you are now a grass citizen, dare to stop the county from running errands?"
That Li Jiutian looked at Gao Wu with his nostrils, and snorted disdainfully: "If you don't get out of the way, lock you to go to the squatting room!" ”
Gao Wu sneered and picked up the door latch of the wenge wood.
"You have the ability to fight." Li Jiutian pointed to the square flat hat on his head. "Hit it, not only will you not be able to open a store, but you will have to eat prison for the rest of your life!"
Gao Wu gritted his teeth for a while, but he didn't swing this stick after all.
"Don't you dare to fight, do you?" Li Jiutian sank his face triumphantly and said, "If you don't dare to fight, get out of the way!" ”
"Li Jiutian, you are deliberately making trouble, right?" Yu Jiachang stepped forward with an unkind face and said to Li Jiutian: "The money has been paid and reported to the sixth room, what do you want?" ”
"Is it over reporting to the sixth room?" Li Jiutian plucked out his ears, blew off the earwax of his little finger, and sneered: "Filial piety to our third-class officials, why don't you see anything?" ”
"That's it, we don't have a penny, so we live with this filial piety." Those white servants who were armed with water and fire sticks also clamored and said: "Let us drink the northwest wind, you have to be hungry together!" ”
"Good, good." On today's happy day, Shopkeeper Fang didn't want to be entangled more, so he hurriedly took out five taels of silver and presented it to Li Jiutian. "The poor master will take care of the ...... in the future"
Li Jiutian took the silver and weighed it, suddenly sank his face, and scolded: "Send the one who asks for food!" ”
In fact, five taels of silver is already a lot, and generally this kind of store opens, at most two or three taels of filial piety, and it will pass.
But Li Jiutian didn't just come to ask for money today!
