Chapter 135 Peach Drunken House

As for Gu Bei, he didn't think much about it at all.

Eating hot pot in his previous life has become the norm, and when he accompanies his girlfriend to eat hot pot, he is also so meticulous and considerate, as if he has been integrated into his bones.

There was a brief silence in the courtyard, only Gu Bei spoke softly, Bai Luoshi was a young lady who had undergone strict aristocratic etiquette training, a veritable lady, just slightly drooping her eyes and face, her red lips moved lightly, chewing delicious dishes.

Qing'er's two beautiful eyes peeked at Gu Bei from time to time, and gradually, her beautiful face became more and more ruddy......

After all, the atmosphere was ruined by Xiao Ran.

The goods said in a rough voice: "Uncle, according to what so-and-so said, it is better to open a wine shop, and then you can not only eat hot pot, but also sell wine......"

Wine shop, hot pot ...... Yes! Why didn't we think of that? This is not a modern version of a hot pot restaurant, and there will be no need to advertise Chinese wine at that time.

If you pull a group of beautiful girls in to play and sing, won't this become a modern bar?

Ancient people didn't like to go to the Qingguan when they drank, if we opened a restaurant, we could eat, drink, and watch...... A mixed restaurant with three as one, still worried about not making money?

Thinking about it, Gu Bei's eyes lit up, and suddenly Xiao Ran shrunk his neck, and said weakly: "Uncle, what do you do like this, is a rabbit not good......"

"Old Xiao! Others say that they have big breasts...... Well, you have a simple mind and well-developed limbs, but I didn't expect you to have a well-developed mind and a well-developed chest. Gu Bei patted him on the shoulder and praised, and suddenly remembered that Lao Xiao said that he was a rabbit, and scolded with a smile: "You are a rabbit, and your whole family is a rabbit......"

"It's a rabbit, what's the matter with a certain family?"

"Poof"

"Poof, cluck, ......"

The pretty faces of the two women next to her were flushed, and finally they couldn't help laughing.

Bai Luoshi saw Gu Bei's face, her face was blushing, and she glanced at him very domineeringly, continuing to maintain the image of a noble lady.

The night shrouded the entire White House, and a crescent moon hung high in the air, emitting a faint light.

Under the moonlit night, more than a dozen black shadows wearing black robes and masks appeared under the high walls of the White Mansion, they looked left and right, skillfully hooked the iron claws to the wall, and turned into the courtyard in three or two.

Climbing into the courtyard wall, more than a dozen masked people held various blades, looking at the small courtyard with bright lights in the north, they had already found out, as long as they killed Gu Bei tonight and escaped before the arrival of the Bai Mansion family, they could get a large reward.

"Lao Na, you go in with the bald man, I will stay here with Lao Fei and others to prevent anyone from blocking it, and the speed must be fast, and the soldiers of the Fifth Military Battalion patrolling the street will rush over in a while."

"Understood." Those who can come to Baifu to do this kind of thing are not stupid, if they are delayed for too long, no one will be able to run. Nowadays, the streets around Baifu are guarded by the five military camps, and patrols are frequent.

As soon as the plan of action was said, more than a dozen people carefully touched forward under the leadership of Lao Na, but they didn't take two steps, and countless torches were lit not far away, illuminating the entire courtyard wall.

"Hah...... Where are you going? Xiao Ran took a sip of the wine bottle, burped, and leaned against the door unhurriedly.

Looking at a pile of torches, Gu Bei's personal guard Xiao Ran was full of people standing next to him, and Lao Fei's face suddenly collapsed. Grandma's, I really didn't touch a single bird feather, but it was served in a pot.

After eating the hot pot, the entire Baifu was quiet, Gu Bei didn't feel sleepy, lay down on the bookcase, and began to design the drawings of the restaurant.

Gu Bei shook his head and threw away the drawings, the door was gently knocked open, and he saw Qing'er poking into her little head and saying, "Uncle, Leader Xiao has captured a group of assassins!"

Gu Bei yawned, swayed over slowly, and asked unhurriedly:

"Just these people?"

Xiao Ran nodded.

What happened next was a little unexpected by this group of masked people, Gu Bei didn't interrogate, beat or scold, a group of generals from the five military camps and the White Mansion, two looked at one, and wiped out this group of black-clothed people, leaving only a pair of obscene pants that covered their lower bodies.

This night, more than a dozen unlucky people walked out of the street in front of Baifumen, they were naked, covering their crotch, and a pair of white obscene pants looked very dazzling.

The old man's eyes were full of tears, this Gu Bei was too terrifying, his move was even more terrifying than murder. Although he survived, Lao Na no longer dared to take on the task of assassinating Gu Bei, this time it was to pick up clothes, and next time it would be to pick up the skin.

The next day, inside the Mask Party, Lao Na and others became a big joke, and the assassination failed, but they were stripped naked by the target and paraded through the streets. Laugh and laugh, but there are examples of old people and others, and other people have to think about it.

A lot of times, killing people isn't scary, because most people don't see you killing, but the old people are walking around the streets in obscene pants, and that's in the eyes. Capturing a dozen killers alive and stripping them naked and leaving them behind is much harder than killing a dozen killers in one go.

With the example of Lao Na and others, a consensus has been reached within the mask party, without a few brushes, don't provoke Gu Bei.

Gu Beiyi explained the old man, the effect is obvious, the next few days are much more leisurely, and no one comes to trouble him anymore.

Gu Bei is happy, so naturally some people are unhappy.

Mask Party Wu Gongzi has a headache now, in the past, as long as there was a task, a bunch of people grabbed their heads to make business, but now it's good, as soon as they heard that it was to kill Gu Bei, the gang of murderers couldn't avoid it, as if they had encountered a ghost.

As a result, Wu Gongzi found that Gu Bei had become a fish thorn in his throat, and he wanted to give up the task, but he was unwilling. In that case, how can I explain to the Lord?

Damn, I knew that Gu Bei was a pit, and I shouldn't have sworn to take on this task in the first place.

It's good now, the killers in the party shook their heads when they heard Gu Bei, do they want to get on the horse in person? As soon as he thought about his weak chicken combat effectiveness, Wu Gongzi felt powerless.

In the past two days, the blacksmith in Fuzhong has created a batch of iron pots, and Gu Bei is also starting to study more hot pot bases.

Although today's seasoning is not as perfect as that of later generations, the taste of seasoning is nothing more than sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, and nothing can not be replaced.

Moreover, today's seasoning pavement does not contain preservatives, it is all natural, you can eat it with confidence, and the taste is naturally pure.

The only thing that makes Gu Bei regret is that the cow is protected by the national law of the Great Xia State and cannot be slaughtered at will, and it is generally not until the cow dies itself before it can be slaughtered and sold, so that he can't eat beef if he wants to.

However, this does not affect anything, and can be replaced by chickens, ducks, fish, sheep, dogs, pigs, etc.

After the hot pot base was prepared, Gu Bei asked people to put it into the prepared jar and seal it with an oilcloth.

Next, it is to buy a shop, which can be opened after renovation, Gu Bei originally planned to open a hot pot restaurant in Luobei Port, but he thought about giving up. If the sales are not good, it will not be a slap in the face, so he wants to open one in the city first, have a trial operation, and take a look at the evaluation of Huajiu by the way.

The water of the Qinhuai River is clear and sliding like silk. The boat on the river is like a shuttle, and sometimes there is the sound of the piano on the boat, sometimes there are bursts of laughter, sometimes there is the sound of Lang Lang chanting wet, and the scene is very lively.

On both sides of the river, the willows are still around, the sun shines on the willow leaves, pearlescent and emerald, as if splashed by water, it is very beautiful.

The streets on both sides of the river are even more prosperous, and the pedestrians on the street are endless, some are carrying burdens and hurrying to the road, some are driving donkeys to deliver goods, and some literati and scholars stop by the river to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Qinhuai River. The houses on the riverside are lined up, with tea shops, restaurants, pawnshops, and workshops......

This street is called Qinhuai Street, which can be regarded as the center of Yingtianfu, Gu Bei is very familiar with it, and he will pass through this street when he goes to Luobei Port.

On the west side of an arched bridge, there is a three-storey attic with flowing eaves and flying walls, pavilions and pavilions, and the momentum is extraordinary.

On the eaves of the second floor hangs a large plaque with three vermilion characters written on it - Peach Drunken House.

As the name suggests, this is clearly a restaurant.

In the hall on the first floor, there were only two people standing, a shopkeeper and a bartender, the shopkeeper was about fifty years old, wearing a square hat, a yellow silk robe, and a long black and white beard, standing in the counter, holding a brush in one hand and moving the black abacus on the table in the other.

The bartender was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he looked young, dressed in a blue gown, wearing a small blue hat, and a white cloth on his left shoulder, leaning against the table, looking listless.

The old shopkeeper was halfway through writing, suddenly stopped, looked up, and saw a group of big men surrounded by a young man walked in, only to see that this boy had a face like white jade, a nose like a hanging gall, red lips and white teeth, and a dignified appearance. Dressed in a white gown, the collar and sleeves are decorated with blue lace, the feet are pedaling green forging foundation boots, the waist is hanging jade Ruyi, and the gestures are full of energy.

"Xiao Jiu, don't hurry up and greet the guests!" The old shopkeeper saw where Xiao Jiu was still stunned, and hurriedly shouted.

"Oh oh oh!"

Xiao Jiu was slightly stunned, hurriedly greeted him, bent over, and said with a smile on his face: "A few distinguished guests, please inside!" ”

The man in white smiled at him and said politely: "I heard that your shopkeeper wants to sell this store?" ”

"Uh......"

"Yes, this boy wants to take it down?"

Before the bartender Xiao Jiu could answer, the old shopkeeper heard that someone was going to buy this peach drunken house, stepped forward and grabbed the hand of the man in white, and said, "Childe, please here, I don't know how much you are willing to pay?" ”

"Shopkeeper, I don't know how much you are doing in this shop?" The man in white quietly took his hand back.

The boy in white was Gu Bei, and when he had nothing to do, he took Xiao Ran to see the store in person.

He had already asked Xiao Ran to inquire about this shop, and it turned out that this peach drunken residence was founded by a big family surnamed Liu.

In the past, Tao Zuiju relied on the prime location of Yingtianfu, and the business in the store was very hot, but since a few years ago, the owner at that time, on the day of the wedding, disappeared and was killed, so the store was handed over to his wife, but Mrs. Naliu was busy with other business and rarely came to the store, so she handed over this burden to the old shopkeeper to take care of.

The old shopkeeper can be regarded as a patriarch, he grew up in Liufu since he was a child, and worked as a buddy in Taodrunkui, because he knew a few words, he was promoted to the shopkeeper. He is very familiar with the operation of the restaurant, and in the first two years that he took over, the business was okay, although there was no improvement, but it was decent.

It wasn't until two years ago that a restaurant on the opposite side suddenly rose, and Taozuiju began to decline. It is said that the owner of the restaurant opposite has an official background, is ruthless, and leaves no room for doing things, the restaurant opposite has been open for less than half a year, and the owner does not know what tricks he has played, and all the chefs of the peach drunken house at that time have been dug up, resulting in the peach drunken house at that time overnight, facing the situation that no one is available.

The old shopkeeper is kind-hearted, kind-hearted, and has no scheming at all, this kind of person is okay to be a manager, and it is absolutely impossible to be a decision-maker, and he will not play some tricks in business, and he is doomed to failure.

No one is available in the peach drunken house, the old shopkeeper can only invite the previous master back to take charge of the kitchen, I never thought that this master has helped a big disadvantage, due to the degradation of his sense of taste, the dishes made are very strong, and it is difficult for ordinary people to eat.

Since then, the business of Tao Zuiju has plummeted, and almost all the regular customers have gone, and the most terrible thing is that the old shopkeeper has concealed this matter in order to take care of the face of the master, and the old shopkeeper has recruited a few new chefs to come in, but due to the average cooking skills, the business is still not improving, and the new chefs have not been working for a few months, and they have all left, and the guy is left with Xiao Jiu.

In the past six months, it can be said that Tao Zuiju has lost one day if he does it for one day. Over the years, the old Ben has already eaten seventy-seven eighty-eight, and the new owner's mind is not on this, so he wants to sell this peach drunken residence.

"Childe really wants it, 15,000 taels of silver will be given to you."

Gu Bei smiled and said nothing, if it weren't for knowing the inside story, to be honest, with the geographical location of this restaurant, fifteen thousand is really not expensive.

But since he knows the inside story, the owner is in a hurry to deal with it, and he doesn't kill the bargain, how can he be worthy of himself, "Five thousand taels." ”

The old shopkeeper was slightly stunned, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, although he knew that the price would be lowered, but he didn't expect it to be a little more ruthless, and said with a wry smile: "Childe, your price is too low." ”

"Peach Drunken House is not big, it is not small, there are not many people who can buy it, if you have never worked in a restaurant, who would be willing to take out a large sum of money to buy Peach Drunken House? What's more, the old shopkeeper lion opened his mouth, and he had to sit on the ground to lower the price. ”

Speaking of this, the old shopkeeper was full of sadness, how could he not know these things, only he knew the situation of the restaurant.

Madame only told him to sell it, but did not say the reserve price, and he didn't know how much to sell now, so he could only take the highest price.

"Shopkeeper, according to so-and-so, you better let your owner come out to negotiate! To say something offended, you are also working for others, you can't be the master, you really want to buy it, but a certain time is very precious. ”

The old shopkeeper was slightly stunned, and glanced at Gu Bei suspiciously, thinking that this son would not come for his wife, right? Then he shook his head, but Mrs. never showed up, "This son, she rarely asks about the owner, and the affairs of Taozuiju have always been taken care of by the old man, and you can talk to the old man the same." ”

"The old shopkeeper, I just said that time is precious, and although the money to buy the peach drunken residence is not much, I just want to see your owner and finalize it as soon as possible." Gu Bei smiled slightly.

The old shopkeeper nodded, squinted, pondered, and after a while, sighed, and said, "Okay! I promised Childe when we would meet. ”

"The sooner the better, preferably now." Gu Bei smiled.

"But the owner ......"

"It's okay, I can go to your host."

The old shopkeeper was silent for a while, and then said, "Okay, I'll take you there now." He also wanted to be sooner, but he was concerned about it.

Gu Bei and the others followed the old shopkeeper through a few streets, and saw a high-gate mansion from a distance, the wall was three meters high and one meter wide, two heavy stone lions stood in front of the door, two thick vermilion lacquer doors were tightly closed, and a huge plaque on the door, Liufu.

Knock knock!

The old shopkeeper knocked on the knocker a few times, and after a while, the door opened, and it was a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed as a maid, with a round face, curved eyebrows, big eyes, and two small pigtails.

"Uncle Kim."

When the little girl saw the old shopkeeper, she hurriedly saluted.

"Hmm."

Shopkeeper Jin nodded and asked, "Xiaocui, is Madame at home?" ”

Xiao Cui nodded and said, "Madame is watering the flowers in the backyard, you can go inside first." ”

"Xiaocui, this is here to buy a shop...... Uh, Childe, come and see you. ”

Xiao Cui glanced at Gu Bei and Xiao Ran, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, and she gave Gu Bei a blessing and said, "The slave has seen the son." ”

The family will be left outside by Gu Bei, Gu Bei also waved his hand and smiled: "Little Cui girl, hello!" In his eyes, there is no distinction between master and servant.

It was the first time for Xiao Cui to see this alternative way of greeting, and she couldn't help but hide her lips and chuckle.

As soon as he entered inside, the first feeling he gave Gu Bei was deserted. In a huge house, except for a few of them, there is not even half a figure to be seen.

Several people came to the front hall, and the golden shopkeeper asked Gu Bei and the two to wait here for a while, he went to report to his wife first, and then went into the inner hall with Xiaocui.

After about a cup of tea, the golden shopkeeper walked out of it, beckoned to Gu Bei, and said, "This son, Madame is invited, come with me quickly." ”

Gu Bei asked Xiao Ran to stay here, and followed the golden shopkeeper in.

The golden shopkeeper took Gu Bei to a door, then knocked on the door three times, and said respectfully: "Madam, the son has brought it." ”

"Please come in." Xiao Cui's voice came from inside.

The golden shopkeeper pushed open the door and walked in with Gu Bei. The room is very spacious, clean and quiet, sandalwood curling, people are refreshed, there are four wooden chairs on both sides, and a circular screen embroidered with a pattern of several lotus flowers is placed directly above, in front of the screen sits a beautiful woman of twenty-six or seventeen, and the maid Xiaocui is standing respectfully beside the young woman.

When Gu Bei's eyes fell on the young woman, he couldn't move away, wearing a white plain robe, light eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, delicate skin and snow, plump figure, dignified and calm, especially those clear and bright eyes, as if there was a kind of magic, which made people intoxicated, and even the faint sadness between the eyebrows was very charming, and it had a fatal temptation for Gu Bei.
