Chapter 241: The Most Expensive Wine
But after Yuan Guigui finished the banquet at the auction, he saw that the scale of Tianxianglou was so large, and he was afraid that Li Feibai would not need him to be the shopkeeper at that time. Grinding hard bubbles every day, let Li Feibai hurry up to open the business.
Yuan Guigui found a reason that is also reasonable, you can do the business of eating and drinking first, and then talk about the purchase and sale of accommodation! Jiantianxianglou spent so much silver, and if he could collect some silver one day earlier, he would collect some silver one day earlier.
Li Feibai was so grinding that his head hurt, so he had to let people clean up the first floor facing the street first, and let Yuan Guigui train the service staff in strict accordance with his own ideas, so he started trial operation and fulfilled Yuan Guigui's dream of being a shopkeeper.
As for why the lobby manager didn't know Li Feibai, it was because Li Feibai was so busy all day long that he hit the back of his head, even if he came to Tianxianglou, he entered through the back door, in order not to cause inconvenience to the guests. Sometimes he was busy in Tianxiang Building, and Yuan Guigui personally delivered the food, he himself had never been to the lobby, let alone eaten in the hall or private room, and the lobby manager naturally didn't know him.
The lobby manager said that he was about to open the book in his hand, and only waited for Li Feibai or Qin Meng to say that he had booked a seat and checked it against the book. If it is correct, he will command them to be brought into their places.
Li Feibai smiled and said, "There is no reservation!" ”
The lobby manager said, "Then I'm sorry! Two distinguished guests, please, take a sip of tea first, and I'll inform you when there is a place! With that, he put Li Feibai and Qin Meng on the chair of the Taishi who was leaning against the wall.
Qin Meng was already hungry, but when he arrived at Tianxiang Building, he was even more hungry when he smelled the vegetables, and pointed to the empty tables in the hall and said, "Isn't there a bit?" How to say that there is no bit. ”
The lobby manager said, "I'm sorry, it's all set by someone else." Guests may come at any time, so please take care of them. ”
Qin Meng is not good at what to say, is it possible that he is eating, and then let people catch up? He sat down in a chair sullenly, took a sip of tea from another junior.
Li Feibai said: "What about the private room? Give us a private room! ”
The lobby manager frowned slightly, and said, "The private room is low-level. ”
Qin Meng was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is low elimination?" ”
The lobby manager was already a little impatient at this time, and said: "It's the minimum consumption, to put it simply, you spend in the private room, and you can't spend five taels of silver to get five taels of silver!" ”
Qin Meng's face turned red. The meaning of the lobby manager's words was already obvious, that is, he felt that the two of them couldn't afford the five taels of silver. It's no wonder that the lobby manager is like this, the two of them are so dressed too inappropriately! He didn't say anything, just came back from the capital, he didn't bother to take a bath or change clothes, and when he arrived in Jiyuan, he went to find Li Feibai, not to mention that his shoes were still a hole in his toes.
Li Feibai is no better! Drilling around in the greenhouse, although the clothes are good, how good can they be after being stained with wet mud!
The lobby manager looked down on people a little bit, and when he saw that the two of them were a little dirty, he thought that they couldn't pay five taels of silver, and he didn't feel contemptuous in his words. The lobby manager underestimated him, but dared to underestimate how Li Feibai let him swallow this breath, and said, "It's just five taels of silver, can't I afford it?" I just want a private room! ”
The attitude of the lobby manager has changed before and after, all because the rules in Tianxiang Building are very large, and it is clearly stipulated that everyone who comes is a guest, even if the guest just comes to eat a bowl of noodles and spends seven dollars, they must be warmly entertained, and there must be no offense in the words. Therefore, when Li Feibai and Qin Meng came in, although he was dressed shabby and his big fingers were exposed outside his shoes, he was still able to maintain a false politeness, which made people unreasonable.
But when Li Feibai and the two want to use a private room, he is no longer false and polite. These two are like the lord who can afford to spend five taels of silver for a meal, and they clearly want to eat noodles in a private room. He reminded the two of them that the cost of using the private room was as low as five taels, but the two insisted on using it, because these two wanted to eat the overlord meal!
In order to avoid trouble, he pretended to open the book and looked at it, and said, "I'm really sorry! All the private rooms are also booked out! ”
Qin Meng didn't believe it, the weather was so bad today, just with a small county like Jiyuan, there would be so many rich people who were willing to spend five taels of silver for a meal! He suddenly wanted to stand up, and he wanted to rush in to see if the private room was really all booked! The talent stood up, and before he could rush in, he was stopped by Li Feibai.
Li Feibai said with a smile: "Brother Qin, how can you not drink wine when you eat, you go and pick a bottle of wine!" ”
Qin Meng had no choice but to come to the big platform and saw a bottle standing alone on the top of the grid. The bottle was no different from the one below, except slightly larger, with a piece of paper glued to it, with a few small characters and four large characters written on it.
He didn't know how to read, but when he saw that there was only one bottle of wine on the shelf, he said that this kind of wine was sold out, so it was the best drink! He pointed to the bottle and said, "Bring me the wine!" ”
The girl standing behind the platform took out a bottle of wine from under the platform, which was exactly the same as the bottle of wine on the top, but did not hand it out when she held it in her hand, but looked at Qin Meng's back hesitantly.
Qin Meng turned his head to look, only to see that the lobby manager came behind him at some point, and turned around and said, "I don't buy wine from him, what do you think he does?" ”
The lobby manager sneered and said, "Do you know how to read?" ”
Qin Meng regarded his illiteracy as a shame in his life, and when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Lao Tzu buys wine, do you care if Lao Tzu knows how to read or not?" ”
The lobby manager took the wine in the girl's hand, pointed to the three small words on the top of the label on the bottle, and said, "Too white wine!" Do you know what kind of liquor Taibai liquor is? ”
Qin Meng really didn't know what kind of liquor Taibai was, so he shook his head!
The lobby manager was proud and introduced: "Taibai Liquor is the boss of my family, Li Feibai and Li Da Boss, who invested millions of taels of silver to build a new one, the largest distillery in Daming, and the liquor brewed in Taibai Liquor Factory." His old man paid a lot of money to invite the immortals in the province and even the entire Ming Dynasty who were the most able to drink and the best at drinking, and blended twenty kinds of Taibai liquor with different tastes. The cheapest Taibai liquor is only 20 wen a bottle, and the most expensive Taibai liquor is 100 taels a bottle. Do you know what price you are buying? ”
Qin Meng said: "The cheapest? Twenty dollars a bottle? ”
The lobby manager sneered and said, "The cheapest? He pointed to the four big characters on the label and said, "Today I will teach you to recognize the four words, and read it with me according to the shape of my mouth, especially for the royal family!" The cheapest! This is the most expensive that the emperor has drunk! ”
Qin Meng couldn't help but speak, turned around to look at Li Feibai, and said secretly in his heart: "You kid is too dark, you dare to sell a hundred taels for such a little wine!" ”
The lobby manager said secretly: "Look at him? Nor is he the Lord who has a hundred taels! He handed the wine back to the girl behind the stage and said, "Get him the cheapest bottle!" After the girl changed the wine, he took it and stuffed it into Qin Meng's hand, and said, "This is the most ordinary Taibai wine, I won't charge a deposit if you drink it in my store, but you must hold it well, don't drop the bottle." A bottle is thirty taels, and if you bump it, even if it is just a small opening, you have to pay thirty taels to buy the bottle! ”
How could Qin Meng be willing to take a bottle of wine for twenty wen, and said secretly in his heart: "The most expensive wine must be the best, anyway, Li Feibai is a treat, don't drink it for nothing!" If you don't taste the most expensive wine today, you will regret it for the rest of your life! He pointed to the royal family and said, "Just drink that!" ”
