185 Ice Rink
There have been no words these days.
It's early January.
There are three dog days in summer and three nine days in winter.
The third nine days after the winter solstice are also the coldest time of the year.
Because it is a cold winter, the Houhai Sea has frozen in advance before the 39th day arrives.
Now that the lake is frozen, the much-anticipated ice rink is about to open!
This is a big event that is going to be in the news.
After the news was broadcast, Houhai, which was deserted a few days ago, finally ushered in the most lively time of the whole winter.
Had breakfast.
Chen Xi and the little guy had just walked out of Dongming Hutong, and there was a lively commotion in the distance.
Just like going to the countryside to catch a market, the father and daughter turned the corner and came to the street outside the teahouse, only to find that many people suddenly appeared on the shore of Houhai Lake.
As the holy place of skating in the minds of the old Shangjing people, as soon as the Shichahai Ice Rink opens, even if you live outside the Third Ring Road, you have to come over to play.
That's feelings.
Because I was poor in the past, there were not so many entertainment projects, so swimming in summer and skating in winter naturally became the first choice for people to entertain after dinner.
The little one was stunned.
Obviously, when I left yesterday, there was not even a ghost here.
How did it become as lively as a vegetable market after only one night?
As far as the eye can see, the shore of Houhai Lake is already full of red lanterns, and the ice rink is playing very festive music.
It's like it's going to be a holiday, and it's very festive.
It's nine o'clock in the morning, and by the time the father and daughter walk into the teahouse, the ice rink hasn't opened yet, so people mostly gather on the streets on either side of the lake.
The staff of the Sports Bureau, the Public Security Bureau, the Safety Supervision Bureau and other departments are inspecting the ice of the Shichahai Ice Rink, and after the inspection, the Shichahai Ice Rink can be officially opened to the public.
As soon as Chen Xi hung up the open sign, two young men with skates walked in.
"Boss, two cups of vegetarian tea. ”
The ice check usually takes about two hours, and the young man doesn't want to stand outside and blow the cold wind, so he gets in.
There is heating in the teahouse, and it is very warm and comfortable as soon as you enter.
In addition, Chen Xi will light an incense stick when he is fine, which makes the smell in the teahouse very good, so it gives people a feeling that they don't want to go out again.
Because he had to boil water, it took him nearly twenty minutes to make the first pot of tea.
By the time he had just delivered two cups of tea to the young man, the teahouse had welcomed new guests.
There were five or six guests in this wave, both men and women, young and old, and at first glance it was a big family.
This is the first day since Chen Xi took over the teahouse.
It can only be said that the peak season came too suddenly.
The little one sat in the children's playground, looking at the guests who kept coming in, and his little face was full of surprise.
She was very sensible, and saw that Chen Xi had to greet guests and pour tea and water for people alone.
The little guy took the initiative to run to Chen Xi's side, tilted his head and said sweetly: "Baba! I'll help you!"
"That's good. ”
Chen Xi smiled and touched the little guy's head, then handed her a cup of green tea, and said with a smile: "Come, bring it to that uncle, and then bring it to my sister's cup...... Be careful not to fall. ”
"Uh-huh!"
The little guy nodded as if pounding garlic, and then carefully took the teacup in Chen Xi's hand.
For fear of spilling the tea, the little guy straightened his back, and his whole little face became serious.
The guest is a little couple, and after the little guy puts the teacup on the guest's table, he smiles sweetly: "Uncle, drink tea!"
The young man was estimated to be in his twenties, and he was stunned by her uncle on the spot.
Before he could come to his senses, the little guy had already run back to the bar, and then brought another cup of tea.
"Sister, drink tea!"
The two guests were clearly a couple.
As a result, the little guy called the man uncle and the woman sister, which immediately made them laugh.
"This kid is so cute!"
"That is, why don't we have one too?"
"Get out!"
The guests were basically table after table, so it was just after ten o'clock, and the teahouse was already full!
The little guy sat on Chen Xi's lap, put his head on the bar, and his big round eyes kept scanning the overcrowded teahouse lobby in front of him, and couldn't help but giggle.
"Baba! Business is good today!"
Business is good, and the little guy is also proud, so he didn't go to the children's park to play today, but sat obediently on the bar, waiting for the guests to be greeted.
Whenever he heard a guest shouting for water, the little guy ran over with a small kettle.
This kind of rough work of serving tea and pouring water is more fun for her than stacking blocks.
According to the usual habit, Gu Lao usually does not come to the teahouse until after eleven o'clock.
It is estimated that he also learned the news of the opening of the Shichahai Ice Rink today, so he came much earlier than usual.
As soon as the brothers entered the door, they were immediately stunned by the lively scene in front of them.
"Here, here!"
As soon as he saw his little friend coming, the little guy excitedly waved to the brothers.
There was no place to sit in the teahouse, so Chen Xi invited Gu Lao to sit at the back of the bar, while the three little ones went back to their exclusive children's paradise.
After about half an hour, I don't know who suddenly shouted: "The ice rink is open!"
This sentence was like throwing a match into a pile of explosives, and it caused a violent reaction in an instant.
The guests greeted Chen Xi to pay.
He had just reported a number, and before he walked out of the bar, the customer had already taken the initiative to send the money, and then walked out of the teahouse quickly.
In less than ten minutes, the teahouse, which had just been full of friends, was deserted again, leaving only countless empty teacups and melon seed shells.
Seeing this, Gu Lao called out the three little guys and arranged work for them.
The older brother wipes the table, the younger brother sweeps the floor, and the little one is responsible for setting up the chairs.
After tidying up the teahouse, Chen Xi calculated this morning's income.
In less than two hours, the teahouse actually earned one thousand and a half.
Today is also the only profitable day since he took over the teahouse......
After settling the accounts, without waiting for the three little guys to speak, Gu Lao asked with a smile: "I can't run anymore with a handful of old bones, why don't you take them out to play, and I'll guard the store for you, how about it?"
Hearing this, Chen Xi glanced at the three little guys who were lying by the window watching the excitement, and said with a smile: "Okay, then you can rest here for a long time, and I'll take them to play." ”
Why is the teahouse doing well?
Because not far from the door is the No. 4 entrance of the Shichahai Ice Rink.
The total area of Shichahai Ice Rink is as high as 160,000 square meters, and there are more than a dozen kinds of ice entertainment projects alone.
In addition to traditional skate skating, there are also ice bikes, ice motorcycles, ice slides, ice squatting, ice bumper cars, and more.
In addition, according to the area, Shichahai Ice Rink is also divided into free entertainment area, comprehensive skating area, ice hockey area, speed skating area, ice golf area, ice bed passage, and special children's entertainment area.
How can such a huge ice rink be comparable to the small artificial ice rink in the mall?
As soon as he entered the ice rink, Chen Xi rented an ice car for the three little guys.
The so-called ice car is actually a simple sleigh made of two iron bars welded with a row of iron benches.
Chen Xi sat at the front, and the three little guys sat behind him in turn.
After shouting "take off", Chen Xi took two thin iron rods and kept scratching on the ground.
Like a boatman paddling an oar, as he slid hard, he immediately pulled the three little ones to slide on the ice.
In an instant, the laughter of the three little ones resounded through the Houhai Ice Rink.
