Chapter 70: The Power of Mahjong

Although the backyard of Hongchen Inn was burned down a few days ago, the business of the restaurant in front of it did not decline, on the contrary, it became more popular.

There is no other reason than the appearance of mahjong.

In this era of lack of entertainment, the green house is too expensive, the casino is too wasteful, and mahjong is undoubtedly the most attractive leisure method.

With the increase of mahjong players, the number of people in the Hongchen Inn is also continuing to skyrocket, of course, there are also people who want to carve a pair of mahjong by themselves, but in a short period of time, this kind of piracy can not damage the business of the Hongchen Inn because it is the largest gathering place of mahjong players.

In the continuous sales of supreme cards and VIP cards, these membership cards themselves have a binding effect, and they have attracted a group of firm customers for Hongchen Inn.

The brick and tile inn at the rear can be built, thanks to the sale of these membership cards, otherwise the Hongchen inn would not have the money to pay for bricks and labor costs.

Custom-made bedding, gauze tents, etc. have also been completed.

Song Kai stretched his waist and said, "Let's go and pull the futon and those things, lay them out, and each room will be equipped with a set of towels and a small piece of soap, oh, the soap hasn't been made yet, anyway, let's recruit the first batch of customers tonight." ”

"I don't care, anyway, during this time, I'm going to live in a room, right next door to your room," Nie Ling said domineeringly, pouting with a little sexy.

Song Kai nodded, "But you have to pay, I remember that the last time Ashina Wanlang slaughtered Yang Rongguang's mansion, he secretly looted a lot of good things." ”

"Money junkies! Those things have long been asked for by Xue Lao, speaking of which, Xue Weihai's old man is even more obsessed with money," Nie Lingdang stood beside Song Kai and complained.

"Hahahaha, who is this, saying that the old man is a money obsesser, and the old man's ears are not deaf!" Saying that, Xue Weihai walked in, staring at Nie Lingling with a pair of old eyes, he naturally knew Nie Ling's identity now, and couldn't help but sigh that Song Kai's luck was really good, and he actually got acquainted with the daughter of the Turkic Holy City Han Wangye.

Nie Lingdang just rolled his eyes and didn't answer.

Xue Weihai looked at the red-brick and blue-tiled inn behind him, and nodded, "Sure enough, it's a cost, I'll take a look, if it's good, the old man will also try to live here." ”

Saying that, Xue Weihai walked into one of the guest rooms, and three minutes later, he walked out with a little surprise, "Sure enough, it's super thinking, it's very convenient, it's very convenient!" Song Lang, don't say anything, go upstairs to the room on the far left, I want it, I'll live here tonight! ”

"Okay, it's always the money for one night, and that room is more expensive to stay in, but for the sake of us who have known each other for a long time, we won't charge more," Song Kai said quickly, and then beckoned Chang Sheng to go to the car.

Chang Sheng nodded, took the rope and went to the car, the official horse was very aggrieved, he had been on the battlefield anyway, but now he had to pull the car.

Song Kai and Qingniang plus Chang Sheng, the three of them walked to the cotton cloth workshop, each inn must be equipped with bedding, but now under this condition, it can't be washed once a day like in later generations, but at least it must be kept clean.

According to Song Kai's requirements, the words "Welcome to Hongchen Inn" are printed on the bedding, which is very festive, and the pink cover is pleasing to the eye and clean.

Qingniang sat next to Song Kai, with a pile of bedding on her body, she bent her head and looked at Song Kai.

After the futon was loaded on the car, only one person could sit down, Chang Sheng led the horse in front, and Song Kai could only walk by the car.

"Why do you look at me like this," Song Kai asked, "Could it be that this young master is very handsome?" ”

"Hmm!" Qing Niang nodded vigorously, and the corners of her mouth were happy smiles.

Song Kai couldn't stand it anymore, "girl! There is no humor at all. ”

Qingniang didn't pay attention to Song Kai's strange swearing, she still smiled happily, "Lang Jun, you are so good, you let Qingniang sit in the car, and you walk on the ground by yourself." ”

"You're a woman, I'm a man, of course!" Song Kai stretched out his hand and knocked on the young lady's head, "It's really stupid!" ”

"Qing Niang is not stupid! Qing Niang is a maid, Lang Jun is the master, of course Lang Jun should sit in the car," Qing Niang's watery eyes stared at Song Kai, without blinking.

Song Kai suddenly found that this little girl could also discharge, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Okay, child, it's just a mouthful, hold these beddings, if they fall, see if I don't hit you!" ”

"I know that Lang Jun will not blame Qing Niang," Qing Niang grinned, "Lang Jun is the smartest, most benevolent, and best master." ”

Song Kai's old face was flushed, although his face was hot, and he felt that these praises were a bit excessive, but he was very useful in his heart, and he was worshiped by others, and he was still a little beauty, which felt really good!

After another conversation, the footsteps of the pedestrians in the streets began to hurry, and the gates were to be closed in a little more than an hour, and the people outside the city were to go out of the city before the gates were closed.

Beside the carriage, a thin man was walking, when suddenly he stumbled and fell to the ground, and a few green vegetables rolled out of the flat pole.

The young lady screamed "ah".

Song Kai asked Chang Sheng to stop the car, and he hurriedly walked over, "This Langjun, what's wrong?" ”

"Head...... My head is a little dizzy, nauseous," the man whispered.

Song Kai looked at this person's face, and he already understood that this person had low blood sugar, and he thought that he should have eaten less and was overworked, so he suddenly fainted.

There was a candy cake seller nearby, Song Kai walked over, bought a sugar cake, and put it in the man's hand, "Eat this cake and then hurry, you will eat more in the future...... Ay. ”

Halfway through speaking, Song Kai stopped, this kind of disease is easy to treat, and it is okay to nourish the body by ordinary people, but in this era, hungry people are everywhere outside the city, what can they do.

After greeting Chang Sheng, Song Kai left.

The man devoured the sugar cakes, and did not forget to thank Song Kai, Song Kai waved his hand, and sighed a little in his heart, outside the city and inside the city, there are almost two places, the people in the city spend money like dirt, and more people outside the city can only make ends meet.

Song Kai understood that in this part of Suzhou, the reason for the starvation of the peasants was not that there was not enough food, but because the taxes were too heavy.

"Lang Jun, you have a really good heart," Qing Niang said in a low voice, "That uncle just now is really pitiful, is he sick?" ”

"No, it's just hypoglycemia...... Oh, it's just a lack of qi and blood," Song Kai explained.

"What is Qi and Blood Deficiency?" Qing Niang's eyes stared at Song Kai.

Song Kai thought for a while and said: "Qi is a very important energy to maintain our body, people live a breath, that's what it means, qi, blood, and fluid are the basic functions of our body, let me tell you some basic medical theories first, let's talk about the five internal organs and six internal organs, our body, there are five major organ systems, uh, what is the system?" The system is ...... It's a whole, a ...... Okay, whether you understand it or not, you listen first! ”

Song Kai babbled to Qingniang about the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, which is a bit complicated to explain, mainly because Song Kai's own theory of traditional Chinese medicine is in the vernacular, and the theory of traditional Chinese medicine he learned is actually very different from the theory of yin and yang and the five elements in the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing".

Fortunately, Qingniang is smart enough and understands a lot.

Song Kai understands that Chinese medicine is a practical summary of knowledge, the same theory of Chinese medicine, each Chinese medicine practitioner has their own different understanding, which is also the reason why Chinese medicine is difficult to learn, although Song Kai does not understand very well, but in the future he will try to give Qingniang the opportunity for clinical practice, in that case, learn to apply, Qingniang will naturally understand the theory more deeply.

Not long after, the carriage entered the backyard of the inn, and several people divided the bedding into various guest rooms.

Chang Sheng ran to Song Kai's side, "Shopkeeper, what you just said is a medical skill that can cure diseases?" Why can't I understand a word? ”

"Because you're so stupid," Song laughed, "get to work." ”

After dividing the bedding and getting everything ready, Song Kai went to the front restaurant and shouted to those diners, tea guests, and mahjong guests: "Everyone, the guest rooms of our Hongchen Inn are finally going to open today, the tentative price, the consistent money per day, the room is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the configuration is complete. ”

"What a room! It's better to grab money all day! ”

"That's it, black shop! Hey, it's your turn to play your cards, hurry up! ”

"I don't know what kind of famous restaurant this inn is, but don't say it, this inn has good wine, good tea, good food, and good mahjong! Haha, if this inn is ...... Well, I'll take a look first. ”

"I'm fooling people again, but ...... Ay! Shopkeeper's! If you stay here, can you play mahjong at night? A fat man muttered at first, then shouted at a loud voice.

Song Kai sighed, he found that he still underestimated the power of mahjong, and nodded, "Okay, as long as you can get together people, you can naturally do it." ”

"Good! I'm going to stay for one night! The fat man didn't even look at the room, he paid directly, and then the three card friends at his table also took out the money one after another, and all opened a room.

"......" Song Kai looked at Nie Lingdang sideways.

Nie Ling smiled proudly.

Four rooms were sold at once, plus Song Kai, Nie Lingzhong, Qingniang, and Xue Weihai had to occupy four, and there were only twelve rooms left.

There is Liu San Fat Man at the beginning, the rest of the people who play mahjong are a little hesitant, although this mahjong is fun, but pay the same money overnight, after all, it is a little expensive, and it is said that there is already mahjong for sale on the black market, but the price is too high......

"Wait a minute, I'll go to the back guest room first, if the room is not bad, let's rent a room for the four of us, and play mahjong all night, wouldn't it be good?" A skinny monkey mahjong guest whispered.

"Brother Lu, let's go, let's go, go to the back and see if there are any tables and chairs in the guest room......"

The four of them ran towards the backyard, followed by a few more people.

It didn't take long to see the thin monkey surnamed Lu panting and running over.

"Four! Four rooms! Shops, we want four! Fast! Hurry up and give us a room! ……”
