Chapter 127: Zhou Fan's "Congratulatory Gift" (Ask for the first order)
After a heavy snowfall, the weather is colder, and there are fewer and fewer people walking around the street, but on this day, the street is unusually lively, many people come to Dongxing Street early in the morning, look at the small building that is tightly covered, waiting for it to unveil and reveal its true face.
In Ziyun Building, Zhou Fan has also come early, since Aunt Liu's death, he basically doesn't go back to Zhou's house, sometimes he sleeps in the restaurant, and sometimes he goes to the Red Sleeve Building to get drunk and dream of death.
He pushed open the window, looked at Shi Weitian, and suddenly asked, "Are you all ready?" ”
An innocent face appeared from behind him, smiled coquettishly, stepped forward to grab his arm, and said in a voice like a warbler: "Don't worry, Childe, it's all arranged." ”
Zhou Fan took her into his arms and pecked her lightly on the lips: "Good Luan'er, when the matter is completed, I will redeem you and welcome you into Zhou's house!" ”
Qingluan wrapped her arms around his waist, leaned on his chest, and said softly, "It's good that Childe hasn't forgotten." ”
Zhou Fan laughed, pinched her somewhere, and looked up in a comfortable mood, only to see a sea of people, suddenly separated a road, and several people appeared in the middle of the road.
His hand slammed hard, and Qingluan in his arms was in pain, and he screamed coquettishly, and said angrily: "Childe..."
Zhou Fan didn't coax her as before, but looked out the window with gloomy eyes.
She followed his gaze, saw the situation on the other side, understood Zhou Fan's thoughts, obediently withdrew from his arms, and looked outside with him.
When Wei Zhao and several people approached the restaurant, many people recognized him and called him "Doctor Wei".
Wei Zhao nodded and greeted everyone, walked to the front of the restaurant, and was about to say a few kind words, when he heard another exclamation from the crowd, he looked up and saw Liang Haomiao with a lion dance team, beating gongs and drums on the street.
Wei Zhao and a few people hurriedly greeted him.
Although he had already invited the Liang Governor's Mansion and other officials in the Fucheng, as well as the wealthy households, he felt that these people should not come, but he didn't expect that the first one to arrive was the Liang Governor's Mansion.
Liang Haomiao did not wear official uniforms, and the adults who followed him did not wear official uniforms, they all came in civilian clothes, but as the parents and officials of Luoxiang Mansion, the people naturally recognized them.
After a few words of greeting, Wei Zhao led a few people to the steps in front of the restaurant, the people saw the officials, and naturally wanted to salute, Liang Haomiao raised his hand and said: "No need, today we are all guests invited by Doctor Wei, come to see the true face of this food for the sky, you don't have to be polite." ”
There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, but I didn't expect the opening of Wei Shenyi's restaurant to invite the prefect and the general judge, it seems that the first restaurant in Luoxiang Mansion will not be able to turn Ziyun Lou in the future.
Wei Zhao looked at the hour, it was not early, the sun was rising high, the weather was good, it was really a good day.
Su Yuancheng received Wei Zhao's signal, stepped forward, took out a loudspeaker behind him that was rolled into a large bucket with iron sheets, and said loudly: "Thank you for participating in our opening ceremony in your busy schedule!" ”
The people saw such a thing as a horn for the first time, and they were taken aback by his voice, and then laughed out loud, looking at Su Yuancheng curiously, very interested in what he was doing.
Su Yuancheng said: "First of all, let's invite the prefect and the general judge to unveil the veil for our food for the Tian Restaurant!" ”
Liang Zhifu and Lu Tongju didn't know what to unveil the veil, but both of them were smart and pulled Wei Zhao together.
Wei Zhao had no choice but to point them out, and the three of them walked to the door of Shiweitian together, one of them grabbed a piece of cloth corner, and with Su Yuancheng's "open", the three of them all used their strength at the same time, and pulled a handful of cloth, and the people on the top of the building hurriedly untied the rope, and scattered a little bit around the coarse cloth of Shiweitian, revealing the true face of the entire small building.
The morning sun happened to be refracted on the glass, the whole building became bright and shining, all the people stayed in place, crowded on the street, silent all of a sudden, even Liang Zhifu and Lu Tongju were half-open, looking at the restaurant blankly.
Wei Zhao was proud in his heart, what he wanted was this effect, although he had done a lot of unusual things since he crossed over, but at this moment, it was when he had the most sense of superiority, just such an ordinary small building in the later world, but it could stun so many people!
It took a long time for the crowd to come back to their senses, and the voices of discussion came and went.
"Oh my God, this is glass? This is actually a glass building? ”
"It's so beautiful, you can actually see inside, you see, there are people walking around inside!"
“……”
The crowd was crowded, and the people behind were in a hurry to squeeze forward, wanting to get closer to see, but the people in front had been squeezed to the door again, blocked by a team of officials, and could not move forward, but this one stepped on that foot, and that one pushed this again, and there was a cry of pain for a while.
Seeing this, Su Yuancheng hurriedly took out the loudspeaker and said, "Everyone be quiet!" Today is the opening day of our food for the day, all dishes are half price, everyone is welcome to come in and taste! ”
Wei Zhao had already taken Governor Liang and the others into the restaurant.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, he suddenly felt a stream of heat rushing in, and his body was warm, not at all like the cold outside, Liang Haomiao asked: "Why is it so warm in this building, and besides, this is the glass you are talking about?" ”
Wei Zhao went to tell Liang Governor as soon as the glass burned out a few days ago, and said that he was willing to give 20% of his income to Liang Governor's Mansion, but Liang Haomiao didn't know what glass was at that time, nor did he know the interests behind this thing, so he refused.
Wei Zhao was originally afraid that he would not be able to protect the mouth of the glass kiln with his own strength, so he planned to give the profit to the prefect and hug a thigh, but he didn't expect the prefect to refuse very resolutely, so he had to give up, thinking that after the opening, he saw the popularity of the glass, and when he mentioned it again, the prefect was reluctant to refuse.
Sure enough, when Governor Liang saw Wei Zhao nodding, his heart and liver trembled, this is glass, transparent can see the outside, not afraid of wind and rain, this thing has passed today, I am afraid that it will be robbed madly!
Twenty percent of the profit, he only needs to think about what kind of huge sum of money he has launched, and his heart trembles.
Wei Zhao enthusiastically introduced the restaurant to them and led them upstairs all the way.
It was the first time that Liang Zhifu and Lu Tongju had seen such a restaurant.
The first floor is an ordinary table and chairs, but each table is separated by a hollow screen, and the tables are all against the wall, separated from the corridor by colored silk threads, which is hazy and colorful, making people feel very comfortable to look at.
On the second floor, it was a different scene, where all the tables were against the wall, separated by screens of different colors, but there were no chairs, but long strips of seats wrapped in thick cotton cloth arranged at each end of the table.
Sitting by the window, you can see the street outside through the bright glass, the attic in the distance...
Then to the third floor, the style is another turn, there is no staircase to go upstairs in the middle, all are private rooms.
Wei Zhao pushed open one of the rooms and led the two of them in, and saw that there was a large round table inside, and a table top in the middle, surrounded by a circle of chairs, all wrapped in thick cotton cloth.
The two adults asked themselves if they usually had a lot of high-end restaurants and had eaten a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but they had never seen such a restaurant before.
After sitting down, Lu Tong asked: "Doctor Wei, there are four floors outside this building, why are there only three floors?" ”
Wei Zhao smiled mysteriously and said, "The fourth floor is dedicated to entertaining female dependents, and the back door has been opened. ”
In this world, women and children have the best money, and he believes that this truth is not only true in later generations, but also applicable to the present, so when he first designed it, he made people separate four floors as a "daughter's pavilion" for female dependents who only entertained.
Saying that, Wei Zhao took out two signs, handed them to the prefect and Lu Tong, and said: "This is a silver card for our food for the heavenly maiden, and as long as you hold this card in our restaurant in the future, you can enjoy a 20% discount." ”
Liang Zhifu and Lu Tongju took it and understood that it was given to their wife by Wei Zhao, and they accepted it with a smile.
The restaurant is lively and warm, and many people have begun to order food under the explanation of Xiao Er, who is dressed uniformly, and the names of dishes that have never been heard of are reported, so that these old men who usually boast of being extraordinary, do not know what to do, so they have to tell Xiao Er to look at them.
These juniors and the maids who greeted the guests were all invited by Wei Zhao to Zhou Jian from the nearby village, and they had been specially trained, and they were all dressed in the uniform work clothes of the restaurant and trained many times, so inexplicably these old men who usually looked down on the junior two in the running hall became polite all of a sudden.
The waiter nodded without humility or arrogance, went down to arrange meals for them, and then asked people to prepare tea and snacks to send them.
There are still a lot of people waiting outside the restaurant, some people don't dare to go in their pockets, afraid that the price of such a restaurant must not be cheap, but don't go in for a while and can't get out, just wait here for a while if someone comes out, ask how the price of the dish is, how it tastes, and then weigh whether you can get in.
There are also people who are reluctant to leave, looking at this crystal clear small building, listening to the laughter coming from inside, smelling the fragrance wafting from inside, thinking that one day they will have money, and they will go in to enjoy it.
There are more people who just heard that a glass building has opened on Dongxing Street, and came to see it, but they were told that the seats inside were full, so they had to wait in line outside.
Food is the gate of heaven, the voices of people are boiling, and the lion dance team has been beating gongs and drums, and the excitement has not diminished at all.
Zhou Fan of Ziyun Mansion has his eyes wide since the restaurant revealed his true face.
He clutched the lattice with both hands, his nails dug into the wood, and he grabbed a layer of sawdust, and his heart was terrified.
Such a building! It turned out to be such a building! Such a restaurant is open next to Ziyun Tower, have they made up their minds to cut off my Zhou family's livelihood?!
Zhou Jian, Wei Zhao! Why do you have to work so hard with each other?
He was resentful in his heart, his face was hideous, and he suddenly heard Qingluan on the side say: "It's here!" ”
Zhou Fan raised his eyes and saw that someone outside the crowd was carrying a wooden plank, coming towards the food for the sky, he hooked the corners of his lips, let's make trouble, the bigger the trouble, the better, this gift will definitely make you more lively!
