Chapter Twenty-Seven: Rat Alley
European architectural style has always been Zhao Kai's favorite architectural style.
The European style emphasizes the gorgeous decoration, strong colors, and exquisite shapes to achieve the graceful and luxurious decorative effect, and the fountains, Roman columns, sculptures, minarets, and octagonal rooms are typical signs of European architecture.
The types are Gothic architecture, Baroque architecture, French classicist architecture, ancient Roman architecture, classical Revival architecture, Romanesque architecture, Renaissance, Romanticism, etc.
And Zhao Kai, if he wants to make a feat, that is, to bring European-style architecture into the Northern Song Dynasty and impact the architectural characteristics of the Northern Song Dynasty, he will definitely be a blockbuster.
After drawing the sketch, Zhao Kai marked some annotations in the blank space, so that the craftsman could more easily understand the sketch.
Zhao Kai was satisfied with the sketch and handed over the sketch to the small bean sprouts, "Little bean sprouts, go to the best craftsmen in Tokyo, the more the better, to decorate the Daqian restaurant in the shortest possible time, don't worry about money, we have money." ”
"Oh." Little Bean Sprouts left the room with the sketch in his hand and began to go to the craftsman.
Zhao Kai got up, left the palace, and went to Daqian Restaurant.
--
Daqian Restaurant.
Jiang Lai was on the counter, knocking on the melon seeds in all kinds of boredom.
Bai Rou sat alone near the door, with a few small dishes on the table.
Zhao Kai walked into Daqian Restaurant quickly, "Brother Jiang Lai, ah, Miss Bai is also here." ”
When Jiang Lai saw Zhao Kai, he immediately smiled, "King Yun, you are here." ”
Bai Rou also hurriedly got up, "Little girl, Bai Rou has seen King Yun." ”
The background of the rich and noble family is different, he knows more about etiquette than Jiang Lai, and his luggage is also decent.
"Miss Bai doesn't have to be restrained, sit down." Zhao Kai motioned for Bai Rou to sit down and walked to Jiang Lai's side.
"Brother Jiang Lai, I have already asked people to find craftsmen to decorate Daqian Restaurant."
"Hehe, thank you King Yun so much."
"We are in a cooperative relationship now, so there is no need to be so polite, by the way, I came to you this time to find you for one more thing."
King Yun said.
"Take me out."
"Okay." Jiang Lai agreed without hesitation.
Daqian Restaurant is now in a slump of business, except for Bai Rou, no one will come to Kenben, and he is not afraid that the closure will delay the business, because there is no business at all.
"Alright, let's go now."
"Well, I'll clean up, change my clothes and let's go, and King Yun will wait a while." Jiang Li walked to the table where Bai Rou knew to eat and began to clean up the table.
Bai Rou left quietly just now, because she didn't know Zhao Kai's identity last time, something unpleasant happened, Bai Rou was afraid that it would be too embarrassing to see Zhao Kai, so it was the best policy to leave.
Zhao Kai found a place to sit, looked at Jiang Lai's back, and then looked at the alum hug opposite, and smelled a trace of gossip.
"Brother Jiang Lai."
"Huh?" Jiang Lai stopped what he was doing, turned his head, and looked at Zhao Kai suspiciously.
Zhao Kai showed the gossip's trademark curious expression: "What is the relationship between you and the eldest lady Bai Rou who hugged the alum?" ”
Jiang Lai didn't hear the true meaning of Zhao Kai's words, and showed a faint smile, "It's okay, Miss Bai always comes to eat with me, and over time she will become familiar with it." ”
"Oh~" Zhao Kai raised his eyebrows, looking like he didn't believe it, and said in an ambiguous tone in a long voice, "No~what~Guan~Department~"
"I don't believe it." Zhao Kai's tone changed, and his face was serious, "Confess leniently, resist strictly." ”
Jiang Lai smiled bitterly, "King Yun, what I said is true." ”
Zhao Kai still didn't believe it, and put on a serious face, "It's okay, the eldest lady in the alum hug doesn't eat in her own top restaurant, she comes to eat in your small restaurant that is about to close down every day, you fool the ghost." ”
Jiang Lai was just about to explain, but Zhao Kai took the lead and said, "Don't say that you are tired of eating in your own restaurant, just come and change the taste, I don't believe it." ”
Jiang Lai swallowed what he wanted to say, thought for a while, and was about to explain, Zhao Kai once again took the lead and said, "Don't say that your cooking is delicious, I don't believe it." ”
Jiang Lai was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, chose to be silent, turned his head and cleaned up the table.
"There's nothing to say, I'm speechless, and I don't admit it." Zhao Kai showed the bright smile of the victor.
Jiang Lai shook his head with a wry smile, naturally choosing to be silent and speeding up the pace of cleaning up the table.
It's no wonder that Zhao Kai thinks about it, the love story of the rich daughter and the poor sour boy in ancient times was rotten by movies and TV series in later generations, Zhao Kai has been tinnitus since he was a child, and it would be strange if he didn't think about it.
"Don't worry, Brother Jiang Lai, when Daqian Restaurant is renovated and everything is ready, Daqian Restaurant will definitely complete the abuse of Alum and replace Alum to become the leading boss of the Tokyo restaurant industry, and then you will be worthy of that eldest lady, so you don't have to be sneaky, but I still want to remind you, that eldest lady's temperament doesn't seem to be good, you honest temper, you are with her, you can stand it."
In Zhao Kai's self-talking nagging, Jiang Lai had already cleaned up, changed his clothes, and stood in front of Zhao Kai, interrupting King Yun's nagging.
"King Yun, don't talk about it, we can go."
"So fast, then let's go, by the way, what I just said, you have to go to your heart, Brother Jiang Lai, you go slowly, why are you walking so fast, wait for me."

Tokyo City, Mouse Alley.
Rat Alley is located in the south of Tokyo City, a person that neither high-ranking officials nor ordinary people are willing to approach.
Because it is a place of refugees, beggars and rats, littered with garbage and stinking, most of the people here are people who have been given up by fate, and there are also people who have given up on fate.
Because the people here have no income, and everyone basically lives by watching beggars or rummaging through the garbage like rats to find leftovers, it is called Rat Alley.
At the mouth of the mouse alley, Jiang Lai and Zhao Kai pinched their noses and stood there, about to stop, Jiang Lai frowned, and said suspiciously, "King Yun, what are we doing here?" ”
"You'll know in a moment, let's find a way to get in first." Zhao Kai's brows were also tightly locked.
Because it stinks so much here, Zhao Kai can even see a faint green floating in the air.
Jiang Lai and Zhao Kai glanced at each other, pinched their noses, and walked into Mouse Alley with difficult steps.
As soon as Jiang Lai and Zhao Kai walked into Mouse Alley, the people in Mouse Alley, who were originally dead corpses, immediately approached Jiang Lai and Zhao Kai.
There are children, women, the elderly, and the disabled, and the only thing they have in common is that they have a loveless expression on their faces, living like zombies.
This frightened Jiang Lai and Zhao Kai.
Zhao Kai immediately picked up a stick and drank, "Don't come near me, I know martial arts, and I have a bad temper and can beat people." ”
As soon as Zhao Kai's words came out, those people all retreated again, lying in their respective positions, and turned back into dead corpses.
Jiang Lai and Zhao Kai breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Kai threw away the stick, and walked with Jiang Lai in the mouse alley, the mouse alley is very long, at least a kilometer long.
Zhao Kai looked around as he walked, as if he was looking for something, which made Jiang Lai even more puzzled.
