Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Wicked Guest Comes to the Door

The next day, the dense fog dissipated early under the strong sunlight, in front of the Wangjiang Tower, more than 500 waiters wearing red silk cloth jackets and trousers lined up neatly in the cement open space at the door, for their warm uniforms, Sun Xiangfu this winter has harvested the cotton in Chang'an City several times, and the cotton seeds at home have been piled up hundreds of catties, and now, it is finally complete.

"We have been practicing for so long, today is finally going to come in handy, after the opening, don't panic, everything is done according to the training, or that sentence, the customer is God, as long as you remember to smile service, polite and courteous, we can defeat all the restaurants in Chang'an, below, each in place, take out your most spiritual style, meet the work of this day, for your money, for your bonus and fight for it!"

Sun Xiangfu a few simple words, the morale of all the service staff to the best, soon, more than 500 waiters went to their respective posts, welcome, stands, dishes, private room service, room service, all led by the foreman, each performing its own duties, in the eyes of outsiders, this may be Sun Xiangfu's outstanding management ability, but in fact, Sun Xiangfu has lived in the later generations for so many years, accustomed to such a model, just copy it.

Soon, the first group of guests from the restaurant came, it was the old and young of the Yu Mansion family, led by Yu Shinan, Yu Chang and his wife, as well as some brothers, sons and nephews of his generation, dozens of people, all of whom came.

"It's still the closest to my mother's family! Come here so early, lady, let's take them to the No. 18 box on the left on the third floor to rest, tea and pastries first, and at noon, we will have dinner together. ”

Sun Xiangfu and his family welcomed a group of guests of the Yu family, because the generation is too small, Sun Xiangfu of the seven uncles and eight aunts are a little dizzy, fortunately, after getting married, they have been to Yu Mansion several times, most of them are familiar, and after a while, everyone followed the two of them up the stairs to the third floor of the restaurant.

After the Yu family entered the private room with four large round tables, they were stunned, this arrangement is different from other restaurants, the table cloth is spread on the countertop, and even the chair with a backrest is covered with silk cloth, which looks very luxurious, and the ground is also covered with Hu man's camel hair carpet, which is very comfortable to step on.

"Grandpa, please sit down, after the show starts in a while, you can move to the window sill, there are three rows of chairs of different heights, you can sit here and watch the performance on the stage."

The large private room has dozens of square meters, in addition to the number of large round tables, there are also stands to sit, although it is not like in the hall on the first floor, you can go directly to the stage to watch the performance, but the condescending sight distance is not very far, of course, the best position to watch the stage is the position of the hall on the second floor by the railing, where the line of sight is the closest, the sound effect is also the best, and there is no need to look up at the stage more than one meter high, of course, these benefits have to be figured out by the guests themselves.

"Well, your restaurant is very well designed." Yu Shinan nodded and said a word, then he was supported by Sun Xiangfu and sat on the back chair, and suddenly found that this was much more comfortable than kneeling and sitting during meals.

"Hey, how come there is a room in this box?"

Yu Chang, like most people, looked around the private room, and then found the bathroom in the corner of the entrance at a glance.

"Father-in-law, this is the bathroom, you see that the innermost small room is not, the ceramic basin on the ground is the toilet, after the person enters the convenience, you only need to pull the rope next to it, and there will naturally be water to wash it away, there is no smell at all, as for the front room, it is the washstand, this iron lump, as long as it is loosened, there will be water coming out of it, tightened, the water will stop, and there will be a cloth towel next to it."

The door of the toilet is located next to the door, several meters away from the dining table, in addition, the washbasin as the outer room of the bedpan, which is equivalent to the door with two odors, in addition, in the ceramic bedpan, there is water in the original water, which will prevent the smell from spreading, and above the toilet, is an air outlet leading to the outer wall, where there will be waiters in the outer wall of the tuyere to shake the bellows-like fan blades to exhaust the air in the toilet, of course, only this kind of luxury box has such a design.

Originally, Yu Chang still had some views on placing the thatched house in the dining place, but just a five or six-year-old little nephew was going to be congratulated, Sun Xiangfu asked the waiter in this private room to take him to the bathroom, and after a while, the little nephew came out of the bathroom, and there was really no smell in the room, and the little nephew also played with the faucet on the side of the sink, and several adults guarding the door saw it and marveled at the subtlety of the design.

"Virtuous son-in-law, how can water come out of the iron pipe in this room?" Yu Chang pointed to the faucet and asked in surprise.

"Hehe, this is a small design, the son-in-law first installed a large water tank on the top floor, and there are servants who continue to hang water from downstairs into the water tank, and these pipes are connected to the water tank, and the screw opening below will naturally come out." Sun Xiangfu explained to his father-in-law.

"I see, this design is exquisite, according to the old man's opinion, you should come to the old man's Ministry of Works." Yu Chang touched his beard and exclaimed.

Since Wu Shitong was transferred to Yangzhou as a long history, the positions of officials in the Ministry of Industry have been promoted, especially Yu Chang, a descendant of Li Shimin, who is now promoted to the right lang of the Ministry of Industry.

"Hehe, the son-in-law is a retainer of His Majesty, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be a courtier in this life, so I just want to live a rich and comfortable life." Sun Xiangfu smiled.

"You can see it thoroughly, no wonder you are trying to tinker with these things, fortunately, my Tang Dynasty is prevalent, if it is in the previous dynasty, the old man would not dare to ask his granddaughter to do this kind of business."

Yu Shinan is an old man who has experienced the entire Sui Dynasty, knowing the changes, after the founding of the Li Tang Dynasty, Chang'an Hu Feng prevailed, and there were many women who ran restaurants and restaurants, and there were women who begged for life to hold the pipa Yaoqin in the restaurant, and even the Qinglou sang poetry, and they would not be despised, no matter how hot they were, you could be hot over the Hu Xuan dance that was popular among the whole people?

Women dancing sexy and hot Hu Xuan dance in public are common behaviors in the social arena of this generation, not to mention singing and acting, the bold style of Tang women, is the feudal society, the most similar to a modern era, of course, born in a high-walled compound, with the exception of a small number of people who are scholarly heirlooms.

After chatting for a while, a waiter reported that the eldest Sun Chong and others had arrived, so Sun Xiangfu hurried downstairs to catch the strong man, the restaurant was not opened by his family, why did he do the work.

After a while, the eldest Sun Chong, Lawyer Pei, Cheng Chumo, and Wei Chi Baolin were forcibly arranged by Sun Xiangfu to welcome guests at the door, if it weren't for Dugumou's generation, Sun Xiangfu was not good at commanding, he would also be arranged, in this era, what the magnates recognize is actually their identity, and the eldest son of a high-ranking official family with two sequences of civil and military affairs in the imperial court welcomes guests at the door, who dares not to give face.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as Wang Lin, who is still holding a folding fan on a cold day, and the group of families who came with him.

"Yo, Changsun Chong, Lawyer Pei, are you doing doormen?"

The older eldest Sun Chong and Lawyer Pei are both a generation shorter than Wang Lin, not to mention Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin, who have only one son and no age, so Wang Lin only named the two of them and ignored Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin.

"Dare to ask Wang Gongzi whether he came to celebrate the opening today, or did he simply come to spend money to eat?"

Of course, the eldest grandson Chong knows Wang Lin's identity, and the few people behind him are not something he can provoke, Zheng Xuancheng, the eldest son of the Zheng family in Xingyang, Cui Mian of the Cui family in Boling, Cui Shaoyuan of the Cui family in Qinghe, and Lu Wenyuan of the Lu family in Fanyang, these are all the eldest sons of the seven families with five surnames, and they all came to Wangjiang Tower today.

"How's Hee? What about spending money on food? Wang Lin always looked high, and glanced at the eldest grandson with contempt.

"If you are happy, as long as you send a congratulatory gift, you will arrange a few people to sit in according to the identity of a few people, if you spend money to eat, of course, it is in accordance with the rules of the restaurant, clearly marked the price, and see what kind of service the son wants to enjoy." Changsun Chong explained.

"Brother Wang, younger brother understands, give gifts and congratulations, they arrange for us to sit, spend money to eat, and we choose to sit by ourselves." After the eldest Sun Chong finished speaking, a son of a family behind Wang Lin interjected, of course, this person is just the son of a small family in Chang'an, named Wu Ting.

"My son's business, I have always disliked being arranged by others, so I just came to spend money to eat today, so let's sit in the best private room in your restaurant!"

Wang Lin said that he was about to go to the restaurant, but Changsun Chong ignored him, and at this time, one of the waitresses standing behind Changsun Chong stepped forward and said, "This guest officer, the box of this store has been booked out today, and the best location now is the hall on the second floor." ”

"What position does my son want to sit in, and it will be arranged by your subordinates?" Seeing that the waitress was dressed in clothes similar to many waiters in the hall, Wang Lin said angrily.

"Guest officer, you are spending money to eat, of course we will provide you with services."

To Wang Lin's surprise, this handsome girl did not shrink because of her scolding, but smiled and said to herself kindly.

"Well, that seems to be true."

Wang Lin was surprised, several sons and brothers who had received strict family education with him were also blinded, and they were used to being domineering, so they actually began to listen to what a waiter said, which was impossible in the past.

"I don't see that there are many guests in your restaurant, can't you give us a private room?"

Wang Lin didn't know how, he actually talked to the waiter about reasoning, but the waiter smiled again, "Son, you are a rich and noble person who reads and understands, when you know the truth that people don't believe in it, our restaurant agreed to the guest's reservation, of course, we want to leave the private room to the guest, in fact, you don't need to be angry, in fact, the table along the central corridor of the hall on the second floor is the best place to enjoy the drama, ordinary people, the little woman doesn't tell him!" ”

"Drama? What is it? Wang Lin unconsciously listened to the waiter's words and followed her upstairs.

"Theatre is a new form of performance invented by our host couple······"

After a while, seven or eight sons sat down in front of a table on the second floor against the front of the central stage under the arrangement of this waiter, but she only said half of what she said, and at the back, she only told these sons that at lunchtime, the show would start, and the sons would definitely have a surprise when they arrived.
