Chapter 240: An Instant Hit
The decoration of the whole restaurant room is very simple, just approve the layer of white, and then hang the paintings of Hou Yanmin or Tang Yin. As for the furniture, in order to make the guests feel that they have spent a lot of money but are worth the money, he has invested a lot of money, and a water of mahogany, red sandalwood, and huanghuali is low-key and luxurious.
There are also windows, all of which are made of large glass. Most of the large glass produced by the glass factory was used in the restaurant, and the rest was used by Li Feibai in the greenhouse. In order to allow customers to eat vegetables from other seasons in winter, and in order to make these dishes sell at sky-high prices, he also worked hard.
When the first snow fell, Li Feibai led people to clear the snow for the greenhouse, so as not to overwhelm the shed or crush the glass. You know, a one-foot square glass is not cheap, no matter how many people want to exchange a yard for a piece of glass, he is unwilling, and it will be a big loss to crush a piece of glass!
Li Feibai inspected the greenhouse, found no crushed or fractured glass, patted the shoulder of the steward who was directing the manpower to clean the snow on the shed back and forth, and was about to praise a few words, when he suddenly found that a big fat man was rushing here not far away against the wind and snow. That big fat man is too distinctive, who else could he be besides Qin Meng?
He threw away the steward and went straight to the past, asking, "Why is it so late?" ”
Qin Meng said: "Guo Taibao had to wait for Cui Wenxiu to be sent away before letting me go, and I stayed here for more than a month." ”
Li Feibai said: "Are things going well?" ”
Qin Meng said: "It's going well!" ”
Li Feibai smiled and said: "Guo Taibao didn't refute his face because of me, so be angry with me!" ”
Qin Meng said: "I was very angry at first, but after seeing your letter, I won't be angry!" ”
Li Feibai let out an "oh" and said, "I haven't eaten yet!" Let's eat, let's talk! ”
Qin Meng rubbed his round belly and said, "I'm in a hurry to get home all the way, I can't eat or sleep well, now I can eat a pig." ”
Li Feibai said: "I'll let you eat a cow!" ”
The two of them went to Tianxiang Building! The six-storey building facing the street stands like a flock of chickens next to the county government, and can be seen through the city gate tower, but unfortunately the wind and snow are too big, and only a shadow can be seen in the dark.
When I got to the front of the building, I saw the whole picture of the high-rise building. There is nothing outside, the green bricks are to the top, except for the height, there is no difference from the houses of large families. The only difference is that the windows are not pasted with oiled paper but with Ande glass, which is crystal clear, and at first glance it is the rich owner.
The glass windows on the upper floors were draped with brocade curtains, so that you could not see the scene inside the house. The curtain of the window on the first floor is wide open, and you can see through the glass that there are many customers eating, and children stand in front of the glass window to watch the snow outside, and whenever they try to reach out and touch the glass, they will be scolded by adults. I couldn't hear what I was shouting and scolding, as if I was saying, "It's broken, and I can't afford to pay for selling the house!" The child was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand, and stood there looking out like a cicada.
The door to the Tianxiang Building is in the middle, dividing the first floor into two halves, with a private room on the left and a lobby on the right. There is a gold-lettered signboard hanging on the door, and there are three big characters of "Tianxianglou" written on it.
Regarding the name of the newly built restaurant, Li Feibai originally wanted to change it to a more elegant one, but later in view of the fact that Tianxianglou was already famous and the name was also atmospheric, he did not change it, and then used this name.
The door of Tianxiang Building is also inlaid with glass, so you can see inside. There is a road wall facing the door, and there is a huge landscape hanging on the wall, which almost occupies the entire wall.
There is a passage to the right of the wall that leads to the back. On its left side, against the wall, was a large platform two feet long and half a man high, behind which stood two neatly dressed women.
The table is also separated from it, and near the doorway there is a cabinet at the back, on which there is a dazzling array of wine. The wine is also different from the usual ones, and it is all served in crystal clear bottles, and you can see the wine inside. The mouth of the bottle is not sealed with paper paste, but with cork, and then with colorful paper paste, to avoid seeing the cork inside, which lowers the grade.
There is no cabinet behind the table against the wall, but there are several books on the table, and I don't know what it is for.
When Qin Meng went to the capital, Tianxianglou was still an empty shelf, with no doors and windows, and it looked like a fiasco. I didn't expect that it had been less than two months since I went out, and Tianxianglou had completely changed. He was so stunned that he even forgot that he was hungry, until Li Feibai patted him on the shoulder, and then he came back to his senses.
Li Feibai smiled and said, "Let's go in?" ”
Qin Meng nodded again and again, and was about to open the door after taking two steps, but saw that the door had been opened. When I looked closely, it turned out that there were two young girls standing behind the door, dressed gorgeously and setting off their figures.
The two girls stretched out their hands at the same time and asked, "I would like to invite the two distinguished guests to come!" ”
There was no young and beautiful girl who spoke so politely to Qin Meng, Qin Meng's face turned red, and he asked Li Feibai to go in first, and then he followed Li Feibai and walked in.
He had only taken two steps when he heard the sound of his shoes "chirping", and when he looked down, he saw that his snow-stained shoes had left muddy shoe prints on the ground.
And the ground is also different from the ground of other people's houses, not to mention unusually smooth, there are colorful spots on the top, and it is separated by a series of crystal clear strips into a prismatic square, and the crystal clear thing seems to be glass.
Li Feibai was wiping the mud on the soles of his shoes on a coarse cloth in the corner of the wall, and said with a smile: "Are you really hungry or fake hungry, come and wipe the soles of your shoes clean and go in to eat." ”
Qin Meng hurriedly walked over to the coarse cloth, rubbed the soles of his shoes back and forth, pointed to the ground and asked, "What's going on?" How can there be such a smooth ground, which can almost reflect the figure of a person! ”
Li Feibai said: "This is terrazzo, which is made of cement and colorful stones of Xiaoyouhe, and then inlaid with glass strips to create a shape, polished and smoothed. Regarding the ground, he originally wanted to use marble, but unfortunately there was no marble in Jiyuan, and there was no marble within a radius of 500 miles, so he had to replace it with terrazzo.
Qin Meng seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and said, "With just these few things, can you make such a smooth ground?" ”
Li Feibai said: "The pavilions and pavilions behind are also ready to be made into such a ground, if you are interested, come and see it another day!" After a pause, he added, "You are also a person who has been to the capital and seen the world, so Tianxianglou is better than the houses of big families in the capital?" ”
Qin Meng said: "Compared with Tianxianglou, Guo Taibao's house has simply become a thatched house. ”
Li Feibai said with a smile: "You say, if Guo Taibao sees Tianxiang Tower, will he also want to build his house like this?" ”
Qin Meng said: "Definitely!" ”
Li Feibai nodded and said, "Then I'll rest assured!" ”
Qin Meng didn't know that Li Feibai built a cement factory, made prefabricated panels, made glass, etc., one of the purposes was to make money by building a house, so he didn't understand why Li Feibai was relieved. He knew that he didn't know much about anything except for two strengths, so he didn't ask much, just smiled.
At this time, two juniors came over, one holding a dun cloth and the other holding a book. The person who took the dun cloth went to wipe off the footprints left by the two, and the one holding the book came to the front of the two, and asked with a smile: "I am the lobby manager of our store, and I am very happy to serve the two distinguished guests, what seats do you book?" ”
Qin Meng was stunned, not knowing what the lobby manager was doing. But looking at the person's frame, he should be in charge, but how did this lobby manager do it, didn't he recognize Li Feibai as the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou? Otherwise, how could such a ridiculous question be asked! Oh, the host came and asked if he had booked a seat, and there are few people in the world who have no eyes.
But he didn't know that Li Feibai originally planned to open Tianxianglou when the governor came to Jiyuan to ask for rain, because all the finishing touches of the entire Tianxianglou were in a hurry, and it could only end in the spring of next year. At that time, it happened to receive officials of all sizes in the province, which made Tianxianglou an instant hit.
