Chapter 12 Listening to the wind and rain outside the Fengguan Tower
12. Listen to the wind and rain outside the Fengguan Building
When Sun Yao arrived at Fengguan Tower, it was only mid-noon, and Fengguan Tower had already set up a wooden sign for closure, everyone thought that Fengguan Tower was going to go out of business, but they didn't care, now they go to Baoyue Tower more in the next restaurant, and no one cares about the going or staying of Fengguan Tower. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This phoenix crown building is located in the north of the intersection of Xiangzhou Street and Shuling Street, and the location is not remote, which is the center of Daming Town. There are two main roads in the east and west of Daming Town, the one leading to Xiangzhou Post Station is called Xiangzhou Street, go straight along the street, in addition to the town, and then go west, you can lead to Xiangzhou; The road to the capital city of Jingzhou is Jingzhou Street, but Daming Town is far away from Jingzhou. There are three main roads in Daming Town, Chang'an Street leads to Chang'an Station, Shuling Street leads to Shuling Mountains, passes through Que Mountain, and Luoyang Street leads to Luoyang Station. Taishoufu is located at the intersection of Shuling Street and Jingzhou Street, which is the center of the town. Among the three major restaurants, the best location is Baoyue Building, which is located near Taishou Mansion, while the VIP Building is located near the intersection of Jingzhou Street and Chang'an Street, close to the three major families, which also has an advantage.
In comparison, the location of Fengguan Tower is the most unreliable. However, the proximity of Fengguan Tower to the market is also an advantage. There is a snack street in Daming Town, which extends east from the location of the Feng family to Chang'an Street, and the storefronts of this snack street are naturally the property of the Feng family, and the VIP building is also the property of the Feng family, but the Feng family obviously does not care about this.
As for the boss of this Baoyue Building, I heard that it is surnamed Wang, and it is unknown what forces are behind it, in short, it is quite mysterious.
Sun Yao walked into the Fengguan Tower with Dongling, Xiaoyu, Duanwu and Ruyu, and surprisingly, there was only a man in his fifties and a young man who came out to greet him, and the two of them seemed to be in excellent spirits.
"What do I call you?"
"Miss Hui, the old man is called Shopkeeper Xu, and after working all his life, he forgot his name."
"The little one's name is Xu Xian, and he is an orphan."
"Oh?"
"The little one has no name, thanks to Shopkeeper Xu who saved me a few years ago and gave me a name."
"I see, where did everyone else go?"
"Back to the eldest lady, everyone else left yesterday." The old man replied.
"It seems that everyone has no confidence in me, so why don't you leave?"
"Where can our uncle and nephew go?"
"Then you can follow me."
"Thank you, Miss, for taking me." The two said.
"You're welcome, we will all be a family in the future, this is Dongling, my personal follower, this is Lin Xiaoyu, these two are Dragon Boat Festival and Ruyu. In the future, the shopkeeper Xu will still be the shopkeeper of Fengguanlou, oh, by the way, Xu Xian, what did you do originally? ”
"The little one is just a runaway."
"Then you continue to be a runner, Dragon Boat Festival and Ruyu are responsible for serving vegetables and pouring water, Dongling can also help, if you have anything, you can directly find Xiaoyu." The kitchen is still in charge of Liu Gong, and all the procurement matters of the kitchen are proposed by Liu Gong, and Dongling and Tian Liang are responsible for implementation. Liu Gong, what do you think of this? ”
"It's still Miss thoughtful, but now I'm the only one left in the kitchen, I'm afraid I can't do it."
"Then what is Gong Liu's good plan?"
"Miss, the old man has two suitable candidates, these two are brothers, and they once learned cooking with me."
"Since this is the case, let's do what Liu Gong said, and their wages will also be distributed by Liu Gong. Speaking of wages, I will say a few more words, the shopkeeper Xu is in charge of the general accounts of Fengguan Building, which is checked by my housekeeper Qianfan every seven days, the wages of the kitchen are distributed by Liu Gong, the external silver money is at my disposal, and the wages of the rest are distributed by Xiaoyu. ”
"Miss, the old man does a good job."
"Okay, the wages in the kitchen are also allocated by Xiaoyu, but Xiaoyu should pay attention to consult Liu Gong."
"Yes, miss."
At the moment, the mind was decided, Sun Yao went to the room prepared for him by the shopkeeper Xu, and after a turn, he was still satisfied.
This phoenix crown building is divided into two parts, the first three floors are all restaurants, there are lobbies, private rooms, and private rooms, and so on. Sun Yao wanted to decorate it well, but the money in his hand was limited, and he still needed to think about it in the long run.
The last two floors are the residences of the restaurant personnel, and there are only three rooms on the second floor, except for Sun Yao, one is the largest, one is given to Xiaoyu, Dongling and Ruyu, and the other is empty, and there are six or seven rooms on the first floor, which is the residence of Liu Gong and others.
There is also a big kitchen on the left, and next to it is a storage room, which is not bad.
In the middle of this is a large courtyard, with a door open, for the guests' carriages to stop, but the people who come to eat are probably people nearby, even the stables are still very new, only Sun Yao's carriage is parked there alone at the moment.
Dongling cleaned up in the house, Sun Yao was about to go out for a visit to Daming Town, but it happened to be raining, she had to sit on the edge of the bed, opened the green Qi, remembered that she was just a sixth-degree musician, and felt very unhappy, so she simply played a song of dark night.
After finishing the song, I found that Dongling was just dumbfounded.
"Dongling, can you pack it up?"
Dongling didn't speak, Sun Yao screamed a few more times, she was still unmoved, Sun Yao was about to shake Dongling, but a voice sounded abruptly.
"If you don't want to kill her, don't touch her."
"Big brother, you're back! What's going on? ”
It was Master Zen Silence who walked in with Twilight.
"If you play the piano, you play the piano, why do you inject your soul power into it? Still with such a sad mood, do you know that now the people of the entire Fengguan Building have become Dongling! They are just ordinary people, how can they be worthy of the piano technique! ”
"Ah, so what now?"
"From what I've observed, you can never be a musician of the sixth degree, you should at least reach the level of a violinist, how did you do that?"
"I don't know, didn't I just play an ordinary tune, "Crying in the Night"!"
"It seems that we need to talk, Sun Yao, don't you know what the level of piano skills is based on?"
"Not soul power?"
"It can be said to be soul power, or it can be said that it is not soul power."
"Senior brother, I don't understand this."
"Piano art is divided into two aspects, skill and soul power, and these two aspects complement each other and are indispensable. Take a look at this booklet. ”
Sun Yao took it, but it was "The Alliance of Piano Artists".
"Don't ask anything, after reading this brochure, you will understand, I think it's time to take you to Jingzhou."
"What are you going to do?"
"Test your piano skills, and if you meet the requirements of the Alliance, lead you to the Alliance."
"Senior brother, can this matter be delayed for a while?"
"Why?"
"Because I have a large group of people to feed, can we wait until Fengguanlou is on the right track, and then we will go to Jingzhou?"
Chan Lin looked at Sun Yao for a while, and when he saw that she seemed to be very sincere, he nodded.
"Yes, but you have to promise me, don't use the piano at will, it's best not to even play the piano, if your hands are really itchy, go to Hanshan Temple to find me, you can do anything there."
"I see."
"Yao'er, you have to remember that the violinist can't use the violin technique casually, otherwise he will be hunted down and killed by all the luthiers in the alliance!"
"It's so terrible!"
"It is indeed terrifying, if the violinists of all countries unite, this world can be destroyed thousands of times!"
Sun Yao's eyes widened in horror.
"Okay, pay attention next time. Twilight. ”
"Yes, master."
Zen Lin took his Yaoqin and gently played a song "Pu'an Mantra", and after a while, Dongling glanced at Sun Yao ignorantly.
"Miss."
Sun Yao smiled.
"Dongling, you and Bai Dusk go down first."
After the two of them left, Sun Yao sat down on the chair tiredly.
"Yao'er, did this blow scare you?"
"I just feel that this world is too strange and a little overwhelming."
"It's okay, there is a senior brother."
Sun Yao nodded, Zen Silence sat next to her, Sun Yao did not speak anymore, and opened the booklet.
From this booklet, Sun Yao learned a lot about the knowledge of the qinist and the introduction of the qinist alliance.
The art of the qin is indeed divided according to skill and soul power, and the music is used as the basis for dividing the rank of the qinist. For example, the high priest is bounded by "Guangling San", the third degree of the qin master is divided by "High Mountain Flowing Water", "Flat Sand and Falling Geese", and "Guan Shanyue", and the fourth degree of the qin master is divided by "Youlan", "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud", "Yangguan Three Stacks", and "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats", while the sixth degree of the musician is divided by "Three Alleys of Plum Blossoms", "Remembering the Old Man", "Phoenix Seeking Huang", "Changmen Resentment", "Pu'an Mantra", and "Crying in the Dark Night".
On the one hand, the cultivation of the qin technique is the improvement of skills, and on the other hand, the cultivation of soul power. There are two ways to obtain soul power, one is to cultivate from nature, and the other is to absorb soul stones. Sun Yao still doesn't know what the soul stone is, let alone see it.
"Senior brother, if I'm not mistaken, I can play "Mountains and Flowing Waters"."
"Yao'er, don't say this to others again, when we go to Jingzhou in the future, we will discuss it in the long run."
"Okay."
Suddenly someone knocked on the door, and then Dongling walked in with Jiang Hongfei and Jianghu.
"Jianghu, you follow Dongling down first. Cousin, what are you talking about with Master Zen Lonely? ”
Sun Yao glanced at him, he seemed to be quite hostile to Zen Lone.
"Cousin, you're thinking too much. I was going to revive Fengguan Tower, and I heard that Bai Du's cooking skills were quite exquisite, so I wanted to hire him as the chef of Fengguan Tower, and I just discussed it with Master Zen Lone. I don't know what the master thinks? ”
"It's up to Twilight to see what she wants."
"Then Master Lao will help me ask him."
"Isn't he right here, just ask him yourself."
Sun Yao was not ambiguous, and called Bai Twilight at the moment, Bai Twilight was first surprised, and then looked at Zen Lone, silent.
"What do you think I'm doing? If you want, you won't stop you as a teacher, just don't get down to business, and report your piano skills to me every month. ”
"Thank you master, thank you Miss!"
"Since that's the case, then it's decided, Bai Dui, the future of Fengguan Tower will be handed over to you and Gong Liu."
"Twilight will do her best."
"It would be good if you could have this determination in piano skills, it's okay, everyone has their own ambitions, the path you choose by yourself is to climb in the future, and you have to climb to the end for me."
"Master Zen Lone, what you say is always so philosophical."
"Cousin, in that case, I can't sit idly by, I have exactly two thousand taels of silver tickets, you can take it and use it first." When Hongfei spoke, his eyes glanced at Zen silence.
Zen silence also ignored it, but did not see it.
"Cousin, I can't ask for your money."
"Cousin, we grew up together since childhood, whatever you do, you won't pull me down!"
Sun Yao looked at him with a resolute face, thinking that in the early days of his business, it was estimated that he would consume a lot of silver, so he no longer shirked it.
"Then I have an idea, even if this money is a cousin's shareholding, I will give my cousin dividends at the end of the year, of course, if it is lost, my cousin can only admit it."
Then Sun Yao popularized the concept of shareholding and dividends to them, and it seems that everyone should understand.
"Sun Yao, then I also have to buy shares." Zen said dissatisfiedly.
"Okay, then are you using money or things?"
"It's good for me to use Twilight as a shareholder!"
"Naturally, then after twilight, I will be a slave of Fengguanlou, and naturally there will be no wages."
"Ahh Master, by all means. ”
"Shut up!"
