Chapter 9 Hold your conscience and smile

Standing on the street of the South Gate, feeling the fireworks of the 30s in China and the color of pitch black and ink in the distance, Yang Ming always has a little sparkling color, only the feeling of light here.

Such a scene should have appeared in later movies, or old photos, but Yang Ming experienced it in this life.

The fireworks of the Republic of China are not bright!

As soon as I walked to the door of the Ginkgo Restaurant, the face of the greeting person outside (similar to the modern welcome, but it is a man, this kind of person is very good at observing words and feelings, if the positioning is equivalent to the role of the lobby manager, but the status is lower than the lobby manager) smiled and greeted him.

"Two gentlemen, please come inside!"

"Yes!" Zhang Laosan nodded and asked, "Later, when Li Ershao comes over, you can take him directly to the Rich Garden, I have said hello to Li Ershao!" ”

In the afternoon, Zhang Laosan came to book the private room in person, and the face obviously had already remembered Zhang Laosan, and now he didn't ask if he wanted to eat or not.

"Good! Third brother, I must rest assured that Wu Liu, as soon as Li Ershao and Miss Lingna come, I will immediately take the two of them to your private room, or do you two go up to drink tea first? ”

The door face is also a shrewd person, and he welcomed the two into the Ginkgo Restaurant with a polite mouth, and did not forget to put gold on Zhang Laosan's face.

Although people like Zhang Laosan are dressed in the tiger skin of Sergeant Zhang and have the identity of the deputy sixth brother of the robe, in the final analysis, they are just a little better than ordinary people, and they are nothing compared to the rich businessmen and dignitaries who come and go in the restaurant.

This also just shows that the owner of Ginkgo Restaurant knows how to make good use of it.

A place like a restaurant opens the door to do business, can you not offend people or try not to offend people, but it is right to greet everyone with a smile, and the kind of fool who is a little waiter in a later TV series who is angry and opens his mouth everywhere does not exist at all.

If there really was such a person, he would have been tied into a sack and thrown into the Minjiang River, and he would not have survived at all.

The whole Ginkgo Restaurant is divided into three floors, the first floor is the hall outside the hall and the kitchen is inside, and the second floor is reached from the four stairs in the middle of the hall. At this time, there were already many diners in the hall, either chatting and eating at the same table, or being polite to each other, although it was noisy and shouting, but there was a different kind of anger.

When he went up to the second floor, Yang Ming saw seven or eight beautifully dressed women in cheongsams sitting neatly by the doorway. However, this era is relatively conservative, the cheongsam they wear is tightly covered around their necks, and they can't see half of the spring at all, even the slits on the legs are also very low, and sitting on a black log stool more than two feet high, a strong style of women of the Republic of China is blowing in the face, which makes Yang Ming's eyes shine unconsciously.

Most of these women were holding musical instruments in their hands, including pipa and guqin, and as soon as the two appeared, they looked straight at each other.

Guests who want to come in name themselves.

These women are the so-called singers.

They are often orphan girls bought by special quyi masters, and they first have to be selected, which is roughly divided into upper, middle and lower grades.

Lower-grade women are generally directly used as rough maids, serving tea and water, and pouring night incense, while middle-grade maids are mainly learning how to serve people and are the most high-grade maids.

Only those with physiognomy can be selected as the top grade. Once selected into the top grade, they begin to cultivate, not only need to learn poetry and songs, but also need to be proficient in the art of music, often can be entertained when they have become similar to the ancient Yangzhou thin horse-like figures.

It's just that unlike Yangzhou Thin Horse, these singers only sell their performances, not their bodies, and the biggest bottom line is nothing more than to accompany the benefactor to drink a glass of wine, that's all.

However, the times have changed, and with the import of foreign culture, especially the star culture of Hong Kong and Shanghai, to Chengdu, their days of singing and pity have become a little difficult.

Although the singers are proficient in poetry and songs, the most important thing is that they are too conservative. I can't even see the calf with the slit under the cheongsam, and even if a man is interested, it will be greatly discounted.

And those so-called stars are different.

If the song of this era is like a beautiful work of art, then the star is a beautiful vase.

They also have beautiful and handsome facial features, but they are extremely bold in dressing, they dare to show what should be exposed and what should not be exposed.

Of course, as the profession of singing is no longer sought after, today's singing is gradually beginning to cater to the tastes of guests, if the guests have other requirements, it is not impossible to negotiate, in short, as long as the price is in place, everything is possible.

Yang Ming just took a cursory look and then followed Zhang Laosan to the third floor, after all, today is mainly to do business, and it has nothing to do with Fengyue.

If the lobby and the second floor still carry the hustle and bustle of the city, then the third floor blows away all the noise below. The window of the private room is full of stars, the city is vast, and the Minjiang River is wrapped around the mountains like a silver belt under the bright moon in the distance..... Yang Ming couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was really a good view.

Soon the two came to the private room of the rich and noble room one after the other, and the maid at the door had already opened the door with a smile.

Zhang Laosan strode in very domineeringly, although it was the first time he came, he seemed to be very skilled at the moment, like a big man.

Yang Ming also followed into the private room, and the two chatted for a while, and the voice of the maid sounded outside the door.

Both Yang Ming and Zhang Laosan have been paying attention to the situation outside, and when they heard the word Ershao, both of them stopped the topic and quickly walked to the door.

Zhang Laosan hurriedly opened the door with a smile on his face, and a handsome young man appeared in front of the door.

In this era, it is impossible to get it down without thousands of fiat currencies.

Behind the young man is a very bewitching woman, with almond eyes like charm, smoke and waves, she is holding a light blue cowhide handbag in one hand, and the other hand is just right on the right hand of the young man in his trouser pocket.

These two should be Li Ershao and that Miss Lingna.

Yang Ming secretly observed the makeup of the two, Li Ershao gave him a good feeling, but this Miss Lingna made him feel like he saw the gold worshippers in the night market in later generations, the same vulgarity, the same head-scratching posture.

Of course, Yang Ming naturally wouldn't show the disgust in his heart to Lingna.

After all, if the two of them have to deal with each other after tonight's deed is completed, it is essential to act on the spot, even if you cover your conscience, you have to smile.
