Volume 1 Across the rivers and lakes, involving temples Chapter 33 Fenghua Building
Chen Bing weighed the fifty taels of silver in his hand as he walked, and his grinning mouth had not been closed since he came out of the bank.
Chen Bing looked at Ye Chen sideways, but he kept smirking, but he didn't speak. He wondered why this stupid boy was so good, since he entered Annan Province, there have always been people who have been silently caring about him and supporting him. He didn't know why, but he was really happy for him.
Ye Chen saw that Chen Bing looked at him stupidly and didn't speak, so he asked, "Bingzi, are you stupid because of these fifty taels of silver?" ”
Chen Bing still didn't speak, just smiled, and from time to time he opened the money bag and pulled the silver with his hand.
Ye Chen only thought that he was overjoyed, and continued: "Let's go, let's go to the Cui River." ”
Hearing the words by the Cui River, Chen Bing became interested and said, "What's the matter, Chenzi, you are going to take my brother to ......."
Ye Chen deliberately only said the word Cui Hebian, he knew that Chen Bing, this kid, had a thief's heart, but he knew that he didn't have the courage to be a thief. But he still deliberately said: "Yes, walk by the green river." ”
Chen Bing thought that there was really a play, and he began to think about Xiao Jiujiu in his heart. But when he was really about to reach the Green River, he began to retreat again, always feeling that it was a bit worthless to spend this money to do that, and thinking that after a while, he would not be ridiculed by other girls if he didn't understand and didn't understand. So he said to Ye Chen: "Chenzi, let's really go?" ”
Ye Chen knew that this kid would retreat, and for a moment he was teasing, so he said: "Yes, today's money is enough for you to make the whole two, how about it, is it interesting enough for brothers?" ”
Chen Bing said with a bitter face: "It means enough, isn't it good for us to do this?" ”
Ye Chen learned from him and smiled: "Won't it be too good!" Look at your beauty, my brain is filled with paste all day long! ”
Chen Bing saw that Chenzi was making fun of himself. Immediately jumped up and said, "Okay, you Chenzi, dare to tease me." As he spoke, he picked up his small fist and swung it over, and the two of them went back and forth, enjoying themselves. The pedestrians on the side of the road watched the frolicking of the two old men, and they cast their eyes full of smiles, just as juggling on the side of the road.
After a while, the two of them had already walked to the original location of Lilai Casino, but Ye Chen looked for a while, but he didn't see where Lilai Casino was. Chen Bing said: "Chenzi, I remember correctly, it's here, why did it disappear." I believe that people have disappeared, but such a big building is gone, it's strange! ”
Just when Ye Chen was suspicious, the young man dressed as a junior second behind him bowed to them and said, "Hello boss, our restaurant is here, why don't you go in?" ”
Ye Chen and Chen Bing turned around to look at him, their faces full of doubts, Chen Bing said: "I'm sorry little second brother, my brothers and I are not here to eat, we are here to find a building." ”
The little second smiled and said, "I know, you are the second boss of Chen, I am your guy." ”
Chen Bing asked, "What is Second Boss Chen, do you recognize the wrong person?" ”
Ye Chen on the side seemed to understand, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the little brother continue: "Aren't you Chen Bing? ”
Chen Bing replied: "Yes, I'm Chen Bing, but I'm not the second boss of Chen?" ”
The little brother said: "That's right, you are Chen, the second boss!" ”
At this time, Ye Chen smiled and said, "I remember you, you seem to be the guard!" ”
The little brother turned his head and replied with a smile: "Big Boss Ye can still remember the little one, and the little one is very honored, but now there is no guard, the little one will be the buddy of the two bosses in the future, and please don't dislike the two bosses." ”
Chen Bing, who was on the side, listened to the conversation between the two, scratching his ears and cheeks, what is this! He looked at Ye Chen, and Ye Chen also looked at him, but he didn't speak, silly music.
Ye Chen turned his head to the little brother and asked, "Little brother, what's going on?" ”
The little two made a gesture of one-handed invitation, motioned for the two to follow him, and then said while walking: "My name is Wang Si, and the two bosses will call me Xiao Si in the future, the original Lilai Casino has been changed to Fenghua Building, which is a restaurant, Lord Qin said, the small one will follow you two in the future, usually do chores in the restaurant, if the boss wants to go out to do business, I will follow to protect the safety of the two of you." ”
At this time, Chen Bingcai suddenly realized that he was sent by the Inspectorate to assist them. He casually asked, "You won't be sent to spy on us, will you?" ”
The little second was not annoyed, but said with a smile: "The little one is just acting according to orders, and Lord Qin is already waiting for you in the restaurant." ”
Ye Chen pulled Chen Bing and said, "It's okay, let's go over now." ”
Chen Bing looked back at Ye Chen, and when he saw Ye Chen shaking his head, he stopped talking, but just walked slowly behind.
After a while, the three of them walked to the door of the restaurant. Ye Chen looked at the three bright big characters above his head, and the words "Fenghualou" were written.
Qin Xiaoqin walked out of the restaurant, saw the two of them and asked with a smile, "How about this name?" ”
Ye Chen said: "Fenghua Building, the name is quite suitable for the environment by the Green River. ”
Chen Bingdao: "Lord Qin's injury is good enough!" ”
Qin Xiaoqin said with a smile: "It's a small injury, and it doesn't take long for a strong man like me to heal at all." ”
The two looked at him with disdain, but Qin Xiaoqin didn't see it, and led the two into the restaurant.
Although the restaurant is not big, it looks particularly magnificent after Qin Xiaoqin's decoration. There are more than a dozen large square tables and seven or eight small tables in the hall, and next to the cash register, there is also a stage that is not too small. Qin Xiaoqin pointed to the stage and said, "This is a stage reserved for singing and juggling. ”
Ye Chen nodded and continued to follow Qin Xiaoqin, the first floor was on the second floor, and the second floor was eight independent private rooms, with elegant decoration. Chen Bing casually pushed open the door of a private room, and was immediately amazed by this level of luxury. Qin Xiaoqin explained behind him: "Usually the people who come to this side of the Green River to have fun are mostly dignitaries and nobles, businessmen and wealthy families, if they don't make it more luxurious, how can they condescend to this." ”
Chen Bing seemed to wake up, nodded, and closed the door of the private room lightly.
Qin Xiaoqin continued: "The person who just showed you the way is called Wang Si, and he is the main liaison between us in the future, after today, except for my occasional pastime here, he will be responsible for the contact for the rest of the time. In addition, his martial arts are not bad, and you can take him with you when you go out. ”
Chen Bing's personality has always been upright, and if he has anything to say, he asked directly: "Was he sent to spy on us?" ”
Qin Xiaoqin said with a smile: "Sort of, you have to go through the motions, don't you?" ”
Ye Chen said: "Chen Bing, the two of us are now under the Yamen of the Inspectorate Division, if Qin Xiaoqin doesn't send someone over, someone else will send spies to monitor, and then we will really be struggling." ”
Qin Xiaoqin smiled and patted Chen Bing's shoulder and said, "Those who know me, Ye Chen." ”
While talking, several people have already come to the third floor, the third floor is very simple, there is only one room and a study, and there is nothing else. Chen Bing was very strange: "The two of us live on the third floor? ”
Qin Xiaoqin scolded with a smile: "You want to be beautiful, this is not where you live." Then he turned his head to Ye Chen and said, "Don't let others come up on the third floor, Lord Huangfu has explained, this is for nobles." ”
Chen Bing seems to understand whether he understands or not, since it was explained by Huangfu Leng alone, he can only abide by it, while Ye Chen knows it in his heart, and he can be called a noble person by Huangfu Leng, I'm afraid there are few people in this world.
Subsequently, Qin Xiaoqin took the two to the courtyard that was connected to Fenghua Building. This is the residence of Ye Chen and Chen Bing, Ye Chen looked at this courtyard that was about to accompany him, and couldn't help but sigh, although he was not very old, this was already his third home.
The yard is divided into the front yard and the back yard, the back yard communicates with the Fenghua Building, and the front yard has a very large open space, there are several wooden frames in the open space, and the shelves are full of all kinds of weapons, bows, crossbows, guns and sticks, sword contradictions, axes, halberds, forks, whips and hammers. Ye Chen looked at these weapons, his eyes lit up, there was always a furnishing that he liked, no matter how beautiful and luxurious the previous furnishings were, they couldn't arouse his interest at all.
Qin Xiaoqin took the two of them around for a long time before stopping, and Ye Chen and Chen Bing were also quite satisfied with this place. It's just that now there is a problem that makes everyone scratch their ears and cheeks, and Qin Xiaoqin forgot to find a cook.
Ye Chen looked at Chen Bing and said, "Why don't you go and learn how to cook now." ”
Chen Bing lowered his head and picked his fingers, not daring to take a breath.
Ye Chen said again: "If it really doesn't work, I'll come, I've lived alone for more than ten years, and it's okay to cook." ”
Qin Xiaoqin interrupted him and said: "How can this be done, you will be the boss of the gangs in the rivers and lakes in the future, it is too bad to go to cook vegetables, and it will be known by others, how can you still gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes." ”
Just when a few people were gloomy, Wang Si ran in, saluted everyone, and said, "Two bosses, when will we open?" Just now, a guest officer was about to come in for a drink, and I just remembered that I didn't know when it would open. ”
Chen Bing said angrily: "There are no cooks, why do you open it?" ”
"Why don't you go to another restaurant and ask for one first?" Wang Si tried to say.
Ye Chen suddenly stood up and said, "Xiaosi is right, we can go to other restaurants to poach people!" Then he turned his head and asked Qin Xiaoqin: "Do you know which restaurant is the best in this Annan Road, let your people check if the chef or boss has made any mistakes, and then let's dig the foot of the wall in a bright way!" ”
Qin Xiaoqin looked at Ye Chen with disgust on his face and said, "How can I have such a brother as you, it's a shame!" ”
Chen Bing, who was on the side, also said disdainfully: "Chenzi, you are too insidious, not in line with my Chen Bing's temperament." ”
Ye Chen's face was full of black lines, and he thought to himself, I'm afraid that only in this way can I be worthy of being a friend between the two of you!
Five days later, news that shocked the neighborhood quickly spread in Annam Province that the city's largest restaurant, Fuhai Building, had closed its doors because their boss had bullied her young woman and almost committed suicide by throwing herself into a well.
At this time, there is another good news spread by the Green River, the newly opened restaurant Fenghualou is a big reward, all guests eat and drink for the first three days, and the restaurant is full until it is full. In addition, this year, everyone's consumption will be discounted, and normal cashier will begin to resume after the year. As soon as this news came out, it exploded in an instant, and there was an uproar in the entire Annan Province, many people were eager to try, and many businessmen and dignitaries were ready to see which boss had such courage and dared to spend a lot of money. The original restaurants by the Green River even joined forces privately, vowing to drive Fenghualou out of the Green River within three months.
