Chapter 10 Closed Doors
What Liu Yu annoyed the most was that Su Yan came to disturb his tranquility, either borrowing money, or peddling those "rare treasures", and sometimes taking advantage of his wishes to give him some money to send him away, and he should also change his tranquility.
But this time, I don't know if Lu Dao is helping him or harming him.
Liu Yu and Han Sheng played a few games, only to find that Han Sheng's ability to play Go was really not blown, and Liu Yu couldn't find North every time he lost. After the last reluctance, I had no choice but to re-drop the chess that could return to several moves to find a psychological balance.
After noon, the three of Sui Yi arrived late, and they could see that their expressions were watching a lively scene.
"The Nine Emperors, the one who often comes to annoy Brother Liu, is out of the ocean today, and he is being rushed around like a dog in the Three Princes' Mansion, and many people are watching the excitement, and I don't know what he thinks, he can't get rid of the shouting and scolding, and the royal face has been lost by him." When Sui Yi said this, he obviously didn't expect that this embarrassing idea was Liu Yu came up with.
"What about the last?" Liu Yu asked sideways.
"The last? I didn't know the road after the last, so many people watched the excitement, and we couldn't squeeze in front, and we didn't think it was much fun, so we came first. Sui Yi smiled, with a bit of cunning in his smile, "Are we going to spring again?" ”
"No, I almost starved to death yesterday."
"Not this time, I have already prepared food, meat and vegetables, and I also brought a pot, steaming, roasting and frying, just go to the wild to have a meal and have fun. By the way, I will take you to see my newly bought garden, decoration or something, and you can also give some advice. ”
Liu Yu looked at the sky outside, the sun after the rain was covered by clouds, and it was finally not raining, and he replied lightly: "You guys go, I want to take a bath, I'm a little tired." ”
…………
Liu Yu is not a cleanliness habit, but after coming to this world, he always feels that there is a dryness on his body, and he has to take a bath every day or two.
You can only go to the bathhouse to take a bath.
He also wants to wash at home, but a concubine, it is impossible for the people in the house to boil water for him every day, no one in the house loves cleanliness as much as he does, and the rest of the old masters and young masters, including those young grandmothers who love cleanliness, will take a bath once or twice in winter.
In these years, the bathhouse is not divided into men and women, all of them. When the guys in the bathhouse saw Liu Yu coming, they greeted him enthusiastically, and prepared new towels every time. Liu Yu is a frequent visitor here, and he is a frequent visitor with a head and a face, and he needs to find a single room, a two-meter-square pit on the ground, filled with water, as if taking a hot spring.
Liu Yu is not used to taking a bath with a group of old men, and when he comes to the bathhouse, he is also hiding quietly. In fact, the single room and the large room outside are only separated by a bamboo curtain, and the noisy and noisy people outside are not ordinary peddlers and pawns, ordinary people don't want to spend money to take a bath, and the people who come to the bathhouse are those who don't have much social status but are small and rich, and some business travelers are also used to coming to such places to talk about business and chat about what they have seen and heard in the north and south.
...... "I heard that No, that Kefu girl didn't get married this time, this time the Turks are menacing, and she doesn't know if she has come back." ”
This is a "rumor" that Liu Yu has listened to for a long time and has the most to do with him. In fact, it can't be said to be a rumor, what people are talking about is indeed the truth, how many people can return to the ancient war? Besides, a helpless woman, she died, and the Xu family completely cut off the incense.
"The most lively thing in Chang'an City today is the mansion of the three princes, there is a person making trouble there, as if he is a brother with the third prince, I am strange, since they are all princes and grandsons, that person is like a madman?"
"Crazy? Hmph, he's also a prince, but it's a matter of the past. Today, I also heard that there was a lord of the imperial history who saw it, and it was called an angry person, saying that he would destroy the royal prestige and want to play the emperor to cure the crime of the madman, it seems that he can't even stay in Chang'an City. ”
……
The next thing to talk about outside is inseparable from Su Yan's troubles in the Three Princes' Mansion. The matter is now spreading, but Liu Yu also knows that things are mixed for Su Yan, it depends on the attitude of the old emperor.
However, when people are old, in the face of the last son born to a bad couple, they will not be wiped out. Su Yan's winning margin is still very big. What I am most afraid of is that the old emperor does not know the way or is deaf, so Su Yan still has to continue to wander in Chang'an City.
Liu Yu came out of the shower, just about to buy some food back to the chess building, it rained again, Liu Yu wanted to hide from the rain under the eaves, and when he looked up, he found that there was a restaurant next to it, called "Yuelaiju". At this time, it was just after noon, and although it was a little extravagant to go to the restaurant for a meal, he could still afford it.
When I walked into the restaurant, I found that it was empty, there were no customers, no guys, and there was not even a shopkeeper at the counter. The tables and chairs are also clean, could it be that the shopkeeper in this restaurant and his buddies have deserted together? Not afraid of thieves?
Liu Yu went straight to the second floor, there was still no one, and it was rare to find such a quiet and unmanned restaurant, he found a seat by the window and sat down, and waited for a long time, but there was still no shopkeeper to entertain.
"Guest officer, we are closed, and the hospitality is not good, please go somewhere else." A man in his forties who looked like a shopkeeper walked upstairs, only to find that there was still Liu Yu as a guest.
Liu Yuxin said that it is also true that it is not Wang Street outside, and even the footsteps of people come and go, so it is strange that the business of opening a restaurant in such a location can be good. But I didn't expect that this time I would encounter someone going out of business, does this mean that he has become the last guest of this "Yuelaiju"?
"It's raining outside, it's ...... Can you take a break here? ”
Liu Yue also felt that this request was a bit excessive, everyone was out of business, and he still had to rely on it, as if he was sincerely watching the excitement.
"Shopkeeper Yu, who are you talking to?"
There was a woman's voice downstairs, and her voice was delicate, not very old, but she had some calm and capable majesty.
Madame?
The shopkeeper turned around and said respectfully downstairs: "The owner, there is a guest, I will explain the situation to him." ”
"Wow! For! For! ......" With the sound of small footsteps, the woman actually came upstairs.
The demeanor is very plain, holding a booklet in his hand, his body is not a bells and whistles of satin, elegant clothes, and his appearance is also very good, there is a kind of beautiful and plain beauty without an axe, I went upstairs to see Liu Yu, and I bowed my head slightly to say hello.
"Shopkeeper Yu, there are still some fish and meat dishes in the kitchen, let the cook cook them and send them to this guest officer. Today, the restaurant is going to close, and it should be the last business to be done. The woman instructed the shopkeeper beside her.
"Yes, host."
The woman's words were very effective, and the shopkeeper did not neglect the proprietor because of the imminent loss of his job, and was ordered to go downstairs.
The woman looked at Liu Yu from a distance and said with a smile: "This guest officer, today I will be a little woman to be the east, please forgive me for any inconsiderateness." ”
"Oh. Thank you very much. ”
Liu Yu was invited to dinner for no reason, and he was a little reluctant to go. The woman did not go downstairs, but counted the tables and chairs upstairs with the booklet in her hand, and was very shrewd as a businessman.
"Shopkeeper, why don't you stay in business?" Liu Yu couldn't help but ask.
"Maybe the little girl is not good at management, and the location she chose is not good. In the past, they were all engaged in the trading of some licensed goods, and lacked experience in store business. ”
The buying and selling of licensed goods is the trafficking of goods, and the north-south transportation is interconnected, buying low and selling high. That is, the merchants. That means that the woman in front of her is a businessman, not only this restaurant, but also a "group CEO".
Liu Yu was embarrassed to ask any more, and after a while, the wine was served, the wine was mellow, and the first dish was also served, a very ordinary vegetarian dish, but the taste was very delicious, not inferior to those well-known restaurants in Chang'an City.
"It seems that I have earned it today, and I can drink such a good wine and taste such a good dish without spending money." A mouthful of food, accompanied by a sip of wine, Liu Yu couldn't help but admire, "The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and it should continue to operate." ”
The woman walked over with a smile and said, "The chefs we chose are the best in the capital, and the wine is also the best, and the money collected is not much, but unfortunately those good locations in the city can't be bought or rented if they don't matter, so they can only end miserably." ”
"If the location is not good, you can publicize it, scatter flyers everywhere, and then engage in any free tasting gimmicks, and there will naturally be more people who come to patronize." Liu Yu drank a few glasses of wine, and his mouth seemed to have opened a conversation.
"Flyers? Tasting? ”
The woman was a little confused about what Liu Yu said, and her eyes widened and she couldn't figure out what was going on.
Liu Yu smiled and invited the woman to sit down, the two sat opposite the table, Liu Yu poured her a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Publicity, as the name suggests, is to find someone to go out to promote the wine and food of this restaurant, so that others will know." The leaflet is to write down the characteristics of the restaurant on paper, print many copies, and find someone to distribute it. Ordinary people get flyers, and if they don't want to come, they will throw them away, so they can do a little gimmick, such as taking flyers to patronize them with a 20% discount, or ......"
"This son, you wait, that eight-fold ......"
Only then did Liu Yu realize that he was speaking too quickly, and some of them were not existing terms, and the woman might not understand.
"Eighty percent of the money is said to have been collected ten percent of the money, but now only eighty percent is collected, that is, two percent cheaper, people are picking up small cheap, I heard that there is a cheap to take advantage of, how to come and see. Speaking of free tasting, this is easier, you can set one or two free dishes every day, regardless of whether the guests come to patronize or not, you can taste them for free. Although it may seem like a loss at first, this small investment is worth it for the sake of long-term repeat customers in the future. ”
The woman was almost stunned at first, but she had business experience, although many of the business strategies Liu Yu said had not yet appeared in this year, but she would understand it after careful consideration, and she also knew the tricks of the period.
The woman walked quickly to the top of the stairs and ordered, "Shopkeeper Yu, tell the kitchen to cook a few more good dishes, and I want to have a good chat with this son." ”
Liu Yu was also rarely appreciated by such a shrewd female shopkeeper, and the two drank tea and drink, and Liu Yu also began to talk about his business experience.
In fact, these are all simple, slightly, I feel a little drunk. Full of wine and food, he was entertained for free once, but he reciprocated a lot of doorways, and it was estimated that the woman would have to digest it for a long time when she turned back.
"Childe is really erudite, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years."
Before parting, the woman personally sent Liu Yu downstairs, and her words were quite respectful.
At this time, a familiar voice was heard from the street in the distance: "...... I said that the garden scenery I bought was good, I turned around and raised the attic by one floor, and called Brother Liu Tai, and the four of us went up to drink and chant poetry together, it was really unhappy...... "The familiar voice entered the restaurant while speaking, "Lao Yu, do you want to cook a few good dishes for my brother before closing...... Yo! Brother Liu!? Ha, old girl, are you too? ”
It's not who Sui Yi's kid is.
