Chapter 19 Apricot Blossom Light Rain
Changle Street in winter, snow in the evening.
The rice shops, steamed bun shops, and rouge shops on the street have all closed down, and the front door is deserted. Only the tavern and brothel palace lights were hung high, and the people were noisy, and it was a lively scene.
Tang Di took Lai'an, and the two walked through the deserted shop, past the noisy tavern brothels, and went straight to the innermost part of the street, but saw the two stop in front of a teahouse.
That's it! Tang Di saw the crooked four big words "apricot blossom light rain" in front of the door, so he raised his feet and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, a little boy with clear eyebrows immediately greeted him.
Tang Di didn't immediately pay attention to the waiter's question asking him, "Where do you want to sit, but you can book a table in advance", and just looked at the teahouse that he heard from Prince Ji.
However, in the hall of Nuoda, scattered but not scattered, scattered but orderly, there are four people, two people, and six people and eight people, all of which are covered by gauze curtain screens, the space is relatively independent but not completely isolated, and the whole layout is elegant in the atmosphere.
Looking at the left hand side of the door, there is a small square counter, and there is also a clean waiter in the counter, nodding at him with a smile, which is regarded as a greeting.
Tang Di couldn't help but cross the counter and walked inside.
The waiter hurriedly followed and said softly: "Guest officer, this inner corridor is a private room, exclusively for female guests." ”
When Tang Di heard "exclusively for female guests", he also stopped. Glancing at the long inner corridor, the doors on both sides were closed, and there was no doubt that it was a private room.
"But I don't know where it is?" Tang Di withdrew his gaze from the corridor and was about to turn around, but saw that there was a room on his right hand without a door, but a screen was placed in the middle of the house, and through the gauze, it was vaguely visible that there was a woman playing the piano inside.
The waiter made a guiding gesture and whispered: "This is the performance area, specially prepared for guests who are willing to present a song, if you are a VIP customer, you can be free of charge, if you are not a VIP customer, you will receive five coins for each song played." ”
Tang Di listened, a smile appeared on his face, no wonder as soon as he entered the door, he heard the sound of the piano faintly in his ears, which could be heard without being noisy.
The store is really good at doing business, which not only makes the listeners in the hall and box feel happy, but also satisfies the players' desire to show off their piano skills, and also makes money!
Kill three birds with one stone!
"But I don't know how to be a VIP customer?" Tang Di asked on his lips, but said in his heart, isn't my dignified prince still a distinguished guest?
"An exam is required." The waiter replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Oh?" Tang Di felt even more interesting: "How to take the exam?" ”
"Guest officer, please go to the counter to register and line up, and when you arrive, go to the performance area to play a song, we will ask the guests present to rate and comment, if you are qualified, you can get a VIP card, a card pattern silver 50 taels, no limit on the number of times you can use it within a year, enjoy it in the box hall at will, make an appointment in advance! There are other services that we will tell you about in a moment, and you can also see our tea list yourself! ”
The waiter replied fluently.
When Lai'an heard the exam, he was already unhappy, and when he heard 50 silver cars, he rolled his eyes directly.
Tang Di looked like he was willing to be killed, went to the hall to find a vacant seat to sit down, and then ordered Lai'an to queue up at the counter to wait for the exam.
As soon as he sat down, a waiter brought a beautifully made card and handed it over: "Guest officer, please order some tea." ”
Tang Di took the card and looked at the tea list, but saw that the tea column had names such as three-petal buds, a yellow flower, and a few red dates; The snack column is written with names such as treading snow to find plums, grassland pastoral songs, etc. There is even a column of featured performances.
What is this special show? Tang Di was about to call the waiter to ask for an understanding, but he heard a noise outside the door, and then shouted and broke in a few people!
