Volume 1 Taibai Dawn Chapter 28 The city is full of drunken immortal buildings
As the night wore on, the maids gradually dispersed to rest.
Cao Yi lay on the bed, thinking about tomorrow's affairs, and when Lu Lao sent Mobao over, he began to sew and embroider wine flags and make restaurant plaques. The construction of the secret wine shop and the escort team can also start tomorrow, and Cao Yi's own power in this world will also get bigger and bigger with this first snowflake, as for what the situation will be in the future, no one can predict.
……
Time flies, in a blink of an eye, it is almost Chongyang, the speed of the weather cooling down has become more and more obvious, every morning, Jiangning City seems to be a vast fog, like with the chill of late autumn, every bit will seep into people's clothes. Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, more than half a month has passed, during which several of Liu Baiqing's brothers have arrived one after another, Cao Yi asked Liu Baiqing to arrange for himself to be the head of the guard team of the secret wine shop, and the escort team that is still in preparation for good management guidance in the future.
After half a month of day and night work, the winery has begun to take shape, Zhu Lao has also moved there to live and start making wine, when he moved over, he also bought seven or eight orphans from Ya Po who are bright and reliable, and he started while doing apprenticeship, compared to the previous poor and hungry life, now at least food and clothing can be guaranteed, and Cao Yi also told them that now it is only an apprentice level, so it is just a matter of food and housing, and the monthly money is relatively small, but when it comes to the junior brewer, the monthly money will be several times, This made these apprentices ecstatic, and their work was more motivated, the only bad thing was that the door was always guarded, and they were absolutely not allowed to go out or near the door without permission, but fortunately they were all orphans, and they couldn't go out if they couldn't go out, at least they were much happier than another group of half-sized boys.
When the apprentices were carrying the ingredients, they often saw young men of their age gathered in the open space to the east of the brewery, the oldest was about eighteen years old, and the youngest was only twelve years old. Each training session is divided into ten rows of ten people, each row of ten people, as if a row forms a team, attacking each other. The losing side ran ten laps around the huge winery, some of them were young, they didn't run fast, they didn't have enough physical strength, and they were often left behind several laps. But as long as one of them doesn't finish the lap, none of the people in this squad can be included in the ranks, and they can't go to dinner. Therefore, every time the ten-person team is punished, there are always one or two people who still have some physical strength, and they will go to run with those who can't run.
Sometimes I can hear their leader say from afar that since the ten of them are divided into a team, they are a whole, and they can entrust each other's backs to each other on the battlefield. In order to be able to eat big fish and meat, you must win in the competition, and in order to win in the competition, you can only train hard in normal times. According to the words of the leader, only by working hard in training will you have more chances to save your life on the battlefield in the future......
The secret liquor shop and escort team outside the city have begun to get on the right track, and the Zuixian Mansion in the city is almost ready, and it will be grandly opened in two or three days, so Cao Yi has been thinking about how to make the opening of the Zuixian Mansion achieve the effect that everyone in Jiangning City knows. Is it a big opening ceremony, or a Chung Yeung Festival poetry conference?
After a whole day of thinking, Cao Yi finally sorted out the thoughts and ideas for the opening of the restaurant in three days, and with his own judgment, it is bound to cause great influence and shock in Jiangning City. However, these days, the invitation that should be sent still has to be sent in person, like Jiangning prefect Yang Gong, Jiangning Mansion Xue Zhi are all supervisors Lu Lao, calligraphy everyone and the old madman in the literary world, all must be sent in person, when sending the post, Cao Yi also asked Lu Lao Crazy Gong to help inform the Jinling Poetry Society and Jiangning School A group of talented people also came to cheer, so as to participate in the Jiangning literary world of the nine grand events, Lu Lao, the mad man naturally agreed.
Cao Yi also plagiarized a few poems that had not yet appeared at this time in later generations, intending to use this to enhance the fame of the Drunken Immortal Building, anyway, it would take decades or hundreds of years to appear there, quite a bit of a pearl dusty feeling, Cao Yi now let them be known to the world in advance, which can be regarded as a merit, at least Cao Yi thinks so, that is, Cao Yi is thick-skinned, so he can comfort himself in this way, in case he is too guilty.
……
Today is the Chongjiu Festival, and the entire Cao Mansion is clean and refreshing. Several maids in Qingyun Pavilion have also finished dressing up early, and everyone has to go to the Drunken Immortal Building to help today, and even Xiong Qing in the dining room has been seconded to help the two junior brothers press the formation, and strive to make no mistakes on the first day of opening.
Just after the hour, Cao Yi had already rushed to the Drunken Immortal Building with eight maids to prepare for the opening of the restaurant today. Since then, there have been talented scholars from Jiangning Mansion School and Jinling Poetry Club who have met each other, and after saying hello to Cao Yi, they were welcomed into the Drunken Immortal Building.
"Welcome!" Every time a guest is welcomed into the restaurant, the welcome waitress of six people in a row at the main entrance will be uniformly blessed and salute, and at the same time shout welcome, so that each guest is frightened when they first enter, but this also deepens the guests' impression of the drunken fairy building. In addition, in addition to the male "little two" in the drunken fairy building, there are many female "little two", both men and women wear uniform clothing, and the chest is embroidered with the delicate embroidery of the three words "drunken fairy building". Moreover, the drunken fairy building is not called the second shopkeeper, and both men and women are called "waiters". And every building, at the entrance of each staircase, at the corner of the corridor there will be a "waiter" standing aside, if a guest passes by, the waitress will be blessed, the male waiter will bow and salute, and will be smiling and shouting "welcome". Such a memorable "Drunken Immortal Tower Feature" has spread throughout most of Jiangning City in less than an hour, and more and more people have rushed to see the news.
"Cao Gongzi, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations" Before the person arrived, there was a tempting and good-smelling smell of rouge powder, which was the top fish mystery of Jinfeng Lou, which was known as Qinhuai Oiran.
"Mystery everyone, you can come to help, Cao Yi will remember it!" Cao Yi bowed his head and thanked Yu Xuanji: "Today it's all up to Xuanji!" ”
Yu Xuanji hurriedly gave a blessing in return, and said softly: "Gongzi Cao is polite, you also spent a lot of money to invite me over, the slave family is naturally coming, and you gave me three such good poems, Cao Gongzi, Youwei took the liberty to ask again, are those three poems really for the slave family?" ”
"Of course, this is written for everyone who is Xuanji, and everyone can sing and perform today with Lao Xuanji" Cao Yi thanked again, and wanted to talk to Yu Xuanji in detail about the words and performances, but at this time, I saw from afar that two carriages had arrived, and Lu Lao and Mad Gong came down respectively, so Cao Yi and Yu Xuanji confessed and stepped forward to greet them.
"Zhaozheng Xiaoyou, we're late." Lu Lao and Mad Gong walked over quickly and said hello to Cao Yi.
Cao Yi hurriedly replied, "Old Lu, mad man, the two elders are willing to appreciate their faces, it is an honor for the younger generation, I am not very grateful, not to mention that it is not too late at all!" ”
Just said a few words, Jiangning prefect Yang Gong dressed in a set of luxurious name obedience to a carriage down, slowly walked over, first greeted the old madman Lu, and finally greeted Cao Yi, Cao Yi naturally also expressed his gratitude, and asked Yang Governor to take off the plaque at the main entrance, on the book "Drunken Immortal Building" three vigorous and powerful words, the payment is the Jiangning prefect Yang Gong himself, provoked the mad man and Lu Lao laughed for a while, saying that Cao Yi slipped, there is a plaque of Jiangning Prefect Yang pro-book here, how dare you come to make trouble after a small night.
At this time, in the alley a few hundred steps away from the Drunken Immortal Building, a group of ruffians looked in the direction of the Drunken Immortal Building, and a leading person said to the rich and noble man beside him: "Shen Gongzi, it seems to be the coachman of the Jiangning Prefect's Mansion, and the rich man who got out of the car seems to be the Yang Governor's Mansion, you told me that this restaurant has no background, and now it seems that this background is bigger." We can't take your job, this money will be returned to you, and we won't go out to chew the root of our tongue, farewell! After saying that, he stuffed a bag of money into the rich boy's hand and led the people away quickly.
"Cao Yi! You wait for me! "Showing a hideous face, it is the Shen Yan of the Shen family!
