1615, you Jianghu people (10)
The ten tables were finally ready, and the lobby was also rearranged by Tong Xinlan.
In order to avoid those people from making trouble, Tong Xinlan set up something similar to a small trap in the lobby, which looked like decorations.
For example, the curtain made of beads made of pine resin is used to block the surrounding of each table, which can not only retain a little privacy between adjacent seats, but more importantly, separate the view of some people who are tense when they meet.
Of course, if they do fight, they will only ask for their own suffering.
These pine resin bead curtains are not touched by normal people, so Tong Xinlan is not worried about accidentally hurting ordinary guests.
There are also some decorations in other corners, and Dad and Shopkeeper didn't see Tong Xinlan's intention to arrange these things at all, but they were worried that the beautifully decorated lobby would be more difficult to rearrange if it was destroyed by the fighting Jianghu people again.
Tong Xinlan let them relax, after a day of closure, the inn hung up the old man's re-inscription hung on the inn plaque, the name of the new inn, Dad in Tong Xinlan's suggestion, took a "Dragon Gate Inn".
Many people don't understand why the inn has such a strange name, after all, there is no place called Longmen nearby, and the inn is generally called Yuelai Inn or something, only Tong Xinlan knows that she is ready to open a black shop.
The inn that reopened its doors to welcome guests was doing quite well.
In fact, in the days when she was preparing to reopen, Tong Xinlan also took up her light work at night to inquire around for news, and finally knew why there were so many people passing by on this road.
Although the housing prices in ancient times were not high, many sects still liked to open in the mountains without money, and in this place similar to the terrain of Guizhou, there were many large and small sects in the mountains.
Some people will come to the door to ask for advice or kick the gym, and this road is one of the only ways to go.
Of course, this road can also lead to other counties.
The previous boss probably also valued this and worked hard to build an inn in this wilderness, but later found that the business of the Jianghu people was not good and changed hands.
And no one in the locals dares to open an inn here, even those who want to make money, they will not run this inn in this disputed territory that does not care about the three things, and it is not their own territory.
The client's father didn't know anything, and he was wronged.
Although the lobby was rearranged, it did not cost her father's remaining savings, it was all handmade by Tong Xinlan by finding materials by herself, and there was no intention of renovating the guest room at all.
The bead curtain still played some role, and not every Jianghu person wanted to fight, and when they entered the inn to eat and heard the voice of their opponent talking, they would choose a position in the corner to eat quietly, and leave after eating, and his opponent could not see him, so he naturally couldn't fight.
In the first week of the inn's reopening, there was no such thing as a fight, and Daddy only felt that the time was coming, and God had finally begun to favor him.
However, the time to come is still coming......
On this day, the shopkeeper was serving food to a table of guests, when he heard the sound of a bearded man smashing the meteor hammer on the table, "Little Er, come with a pot of flower carving, a plate of peanuts, a plate of meat and a pot of rice." ”
The shopkeeper was too busy to open, and Tong Xinlan was ready to step forward to help, "Okay, objective, wait a minute!"
As soon as he finished saying this, he heard the sound of a sharp blade coming out of its sheath.
"What bastard is sneaking up on grandpa from behind!" Before the bearded man could sit down, he hurriedly lifted the meteor hammer and flashed it back and began to scold.
Tong Xinlan looked at the source of the sharp blade, it was a guest at the leftmost table in the lobby, the man wearing a hat was holding a flying knife in his hand and throwing it in circles very casually, looking like he had a pretentious and chic taste.
"Lei Laohu, have you forgotten your grandfather and me?"
Speaking of which, the man who didn't take off the hat with black gauze when he ate threw out three flying knives.
The flying knife flew through the bead curtain towards the big man at the table at the door again.
The bearded man, though he looked big and thick, was a nimble fat man, and he wielded two Meteor Hammers.
Ding Ding Ding
Along with Mars, all the flying knives were blocked by the Thunder Tiger with a meteor hammer.
Thunder Tiger blew his beard angrily, roared twice, and threw the meteor hammer in his hand at the hat man who threw darts.
Seeing that the two people in the rivers and lakes were about to fight, the father was in a hurry on the counter, and he couldn't say anything to persuade him angrily.
The shopkeeper had already been mentally prepared to come sooner or later, so he pulled the table of guests who served him and ran upstairs.
Now the people eating in the lobby are not all people from the rivers and lakes, there are also some foot merchants and ordinary passers-by, so Tong Xinlan also hurriedly shouted, "The guest officer runs to the back, the back is very safe, and there is a back door to leave." ”
The bearded man was standing at the gate of the inn, and ordinary people naturally didn't dare to run past him, and when they heard Tong Xinlan say that there was a back door, they all ran to the back.
Tong Xinlan pushed her father, stuffed the account book in his hand and said, "Dad, come with me to the back door to collect the food money, so as not to let some people fish in troubled waters and naturally escape the bill." ”
"What should I do here?" Dad reluctantly glanced at the lobby that was beautifully decorated by Tong Xinlan, for fear of being destroyed by these two bastards.
"Dad, it's better than the money at other tables to escape, by the way, Dad, I think we still have to implement the rule of paying the money first and then serving the food, so that we are not afraid of unexpected guests evading the order, and we don't have to chase after people to pay, right?"
In fact, Tong Xinlan also mentioned this opinion before, this method is very common in modern restaurant business, but few people did it in ancient times, when the father felt that this was too ruthless for fear of making the guests unhappy, or let the guests refuse to order later.
Now is a good time to repropose.
Dad followed behind Tong Xinlan with the account book, thinking that if he didn't come once, he would have to go to the back door with the account book to block the people who wanted to escape and ask for food money, he was afraid that his body would not be able to withstand a few tosses, besides, stopping others when others were fleeing for their lives would offend the guests even more.
"Okay, it's up to you. ”
Tong Xinlan completely left the two people fighting in the lobby behind, took her father to the back door, and began to comfort the frightened guests.
"Ladies and gentlemen, after a while, they are finished, our Longmen Inn will send you a plate of meat and vegetables to suppress the shock, if everyone's meal has been ruined, we will also re-serve it for everyone, but if everyone is leaving now, it means that everyone has eaten and drunk enough, then please pay for the meal just now." Tong Xinlan and Daddy stopped at the back door with a smile on their faces, looking at seven or eight guests with bewildered faces.
