Chapter 2 Lack of money is a big problem
The sudden call was like a basin of cold water poured on his head, but at this moment, Zhang Yi had reached the most critical moment, and he was interrupted by this soft voice, he only felt a thrill all over his body, and the impulse just now was immediately gone.
I don't know if I was scared and lost my function, Zhang Yi hurriedly 'snapped!' Syllable! Syllable! 's began to knock on the door.
"Seventeen Niang, get up!"
The voice was a little loud, and the people inside finally reacted a little, and then after repeating it twice, a sentence came out, 'Got it!' 'Response.
This is followed by sixteen mothers, fifteen mothers, and thirteenth mothers.....
Along the way, Yingying Yanyan, seventeen little girls, seventeen boudoirs, after waking up the sixteenth mother to the second mother, Zhang Yi came to the door of the eldest mother's room.
The reason why she is called the eldest lady is mainly because Zhang Yi's predecessor was adopted by her on the street, and she stayed here when she was very young, which Zhang Yi heard about in the past three months, and did not get the memory of the predecessor.
Of course, there is also the main reason that this lady is the old bustard in Chunfang Building, and she has this qualification regardless of identity or status.
The eldest lady's name is Li Chunfang, it is said that the piano and art were both unique, and the crown was the entire Jiangning, and it was the famous Li family, and the reason why Chunfang House was named was because of her signboard.
Originally, according to the fate of all Qinglou women, Li Chunfang laughed and talked about Fengyue, and then saved some money, and when she was old and decrepit and no longer had anyone to support her, she was released from the building by the original bustard, and then found an honest man to marry.
What I didn't expect was that the original bustard was actually related to a big man, and he also participated in a plot to poison another big man, and was arrested and put in prison before he could do it.
It is conceivable that when Li Chunfang became the old bustard, the building was naturally much more harmonious, everyone used to be sisters, and the relationship was not bad, so the previous strict rules soon disappeared, and because of poor financial management, until the last nurse in the building left because he couldn't get paid last month, the building became like this.
If it weren't for the fact that in Li Chunfang's building, a total of sixteen girls were all as beautiful as flowers, and they had always maintained the identity of Qingqi people, I am afraid that even if they wanted to be high, they would not be able to be high, because they had no money!
Lack of money is a big problem, if you want to have money, you have to start the business of Chunfanglou.
Chunfanglou, who doesn't sell meat, wants to get money from the hands of those sanctimonious ministers, unless he chooses a top card to make those people rush to it. But this road is not feasible for the time being, and there is still a long time to choose an oiran.
But Chunfang Building is about to be unable to support it and is going to go out of business, and now the girls in the building are barely able to maintain it by sticking money into it. Originally, Zhang Yi planned to die in Chunfanglou, but he didn't expect it to collapse so soon. Therefore, making money is something that Zhang Yi urgently needs to deal with now.
However, he brought a gold finger when he crossed, and now that three months have passed, and he is almost about to activate it, so he naturally doesn't have to worry about not making money. Maybe this time is for Zhang Yi to adapt to this world.
By the way, there is another very important thing, that is, Zhang Yi found that this world is not the ancient Tang, Song and Ming dynasties as he thought, but a parallel world, called Weiguo.
This is what he learned by chance, and he bragged about the nursing home that he hadn't left before. said that his appearance was against the sky, and in ancient times, he wanted to become the face of Wu Zetian. But Zhang Yi saw the look of the nursing home with a bewildered face.
If such a famous female emperor doesn't know, then she also recognizes it, which means that the nursing home has no culture. But Zhang Yi has mentioned the names of dozens of ancient poets, and the other party still doesn't know about it, so there is a problem.
Later, he explained to the curious nurse that he had a dream and got confused.
Isn't there a saying that if you want to keep a man's heart, you must first keep a man's stomach, and it is the same in ancient times. If you want to get money out of their pockets, you have to keep their stomachs.
In the past three months, Zhang Yi found that the food was really difficult to swallow, most of it was cooked, not much oil and water, not spicy, and the salt taste was too light. What he can't stand is that many of the dishes are sweeter.
Accustomed to heavy tastes, how can people who are not spicy and unhappy stand it!
If it weren't for the fear that his abnormal behavior would be seen, Zhang Yi would have flipped the table a long time ago. But during this time, he also did something different. In order to make the people of Chunfanglou not pay too much attention to the things that are more out of line in the future.
"Auntie, can you give me ten taels of silver?" Just do it, so Zhang Yi went to the aunt to ask for money, and it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice!
I remember that when he just crossed over to Weiguo, he thought that the ancients were all literary, so he occasionally dragged the text, but found that except for those who came to Chunfanglou to talk about it, everyone else was in the vernacular. As for the peddlers' pawns, they will not come to Chunfanglou, because there is no leather and meat business here.
Those people are all wild prostitutes who go to half-hide their doors, and Zhang Yi will not despise them, because they are all here to live. Being able to live well was a great thing in ancient times.
After hearing Zhang Yi say this, the eldest lady frowned, this has not even entered Chunfanglou in the past month, and ten taels of silver is already too much.
If it was before, she would definitely agree without hesitation, but not now. A penny is difficult for heroes, and it is also difficult for women.
"Zhang Yi, what do you want money for? The building is already struggling to make ends meet. The eldest lady dug into her wide sleeves, as if she had thought of something, and the expression on her face became even more ugly.
If you don't have money, you can't let the girl in the building go into the water, then you'll be sorry for your original intention. Once you lose your identity as a prostitute, what is the difference between you and a wild prostitute? When the time comes, it is all delusional to want to marry as an innocent woman.
Zhang Yi also knew that if he wanted everyone to trust that he could save Chunfanglou, he not only had to explain to her, but also had to let her see it for granted.
"Auntie, we don't see it anymore, I have also observed our Jiangning City these days and found an easy job to make money." Even if Zhang Yi said this, the eldest lady didn't look very excited.
"Zhang Yi, let's be honest and settle down, if there is really a job to make money, this huge land of Jiangning City, someone has already done it, will it be our turn to Chunfang Building?" Auntie's words are right, this is the reason.
How do you know if you don't try it! And during the days when his golden finger was to be activated, he had investigated it in depth. That is, on the one hand, Jiangning's cuisine is still in the primitive stage. Compared to the earth, which has a long food culture, it is really a drop in the shadows.
