Chapter 260, The Feast of the Hung Gate (1)
The name Yang Hualou sounds very ordinary, but in fact, it is placed in the local illusionist circle, but this place is quite famous, because it is said that the first boss of Yang Hualou is a very prestigious and very clever local illusionist, but this person is actually a neutral illusionist, and he does not belong to any force, he has made a rule at the beginning of the establishment of Yang Hualou, and he can't do anything when he enters Yang Hualou, and it has nothing to do with the store when he goes out of Yang Hualou to fight and die.
So whether it is a "ghost thief" or a "divine mansion", no illusionist dares to hurt people in Yang Hualou, as for what will be the result after doing it, there are several practical examples that can be used as an illustration, several people who have worked in Yang Hualou are missing some parts in their bodies, and they are disabled for life.
The boss of this generation of Yang Hualou is named Zhuang Yu, who is relatively young, but twenty-five years old, and is known as the youngest owner of Yang Hualou in history, but although he is young, he is very powerful, and the illusionist rank also has a quasi-third stage, plus there are many friends in the circle, so it is very open.
Every night the Yanghualou is overcrowded, individual guests they are not entertained, even if you come even if you wait for a night will not arrange a seat for you, all the guests who come to visit must be booked in advance, the face can be booked one night in advance, the shallow face may have to be booked a month in advance.
Tang Yao had heard of Yang Hualou from Fang Chao's mouth, and Fang Chao had only come in once, or when he was a child, his father took him and followed the elders in the family to come in to talk about things, Fang Chao said that he and his father didn't even have a seat at that time, and his father was busy all night after the saddle like a follower.
It was already seven o'clock in the evening when Tang Yao walked out of the subway station, and the message sent by Yuan Yu asked him to go to Yanghualou at about seven o'clock in the evening.
The district where Yang Hualou is located is the old urban area, the city has the new urban area and the old urban area, the new urban area is the downtown area developed after the planning in recent decades, there are modern high-rise buildings everywhere, such as the nearby buildings of the dead bones There are several buildings with hundreds of floors, and the height of several landmark buildings in the city has reached four or five hundred meters.
The old downtown area is the core and most lively area of the city at the beginning of the last century, in the old downtown you will feel that you have traveled to at least seventy or eighty years ago, in order to retain the style of the old urban area, the buildings here have been restored to the appearance of the last century, along the way, the old but brilliant neon lights are lined up one after another, walking in it, there is a dreamlike feeling.
Tang Yao doesn't come to the old city often, but he feels good about it, and I heard that there are often film crews here to shoot TV dramas from the last century, and the nearby residents are no longer surprised.
Yang Hua Lou is located on the busiest street in the old city, and the neighborhood is full of petty bourgeois music bars and nostalgic shops and cafes.
Tang Yao didn't know the way, so he could only move forward while asking for directions, and finally arrived at Yang Hua's downstairs.
The colorful huge signboard on the "Yang Hua Building" three words flickered non-stop, in front of the gilded glass door stood two doormen wearing old era uniforms, the door pedestrians were endless, and there were many tourists who came to take pictures, among which there were many Internet celebrities, they wore cheongsam or the long skirt that the so-called rich wife liked to wear in the last century stood under Yang Hua Lou to take pictures, after post-processing, the photo looks like a photo taken seventy or eighty years ago, and then received a large number of praises, but in fact they could not enter Yang Hua Lou, Because it doesn't accept ordinary people.
There was a little brother who parked for guests at the door, Tang Yao saw a young illusionist who drove a big bus and threw a tip of 100 yuan to the little brother after going downstairs from the car, Tang Yao muttered silently: "This is too generous." ”
Tang Yao walked to the door, the brilliant neon lights shone on his body, the old coat that had been worn for several years and was already a little small, he looked out of place with his surroundings, one of the two doormen glanced at him and walked over slowly, coughed and said: "Sir, is there something wrong, if you want to take pictures, you can go to the bottom of the steps to take pictures, this is the hospitality area." ”
Tang Yao was stunned for a moment, but soon understood that he was regarded as a tourist by this person, and he immediately said, "Someone invited me to come." ”
"Oh, I don't know if you can tell me the name of the person who ordered the meal, I'll help you confirm." The man said.
But I heard a voice from the other door saying: "You don't invite people away, you really think he is a guest, let me tell you, there are many people like him who want to sneak in in a day, and if the manager sees it for a while, he should curse again." ”
Tang Yao glanced at him, in fact, the young illusionist who had just rushed over walked directly into Yang Hualou, and he was not checked, how could he be questioned if he wanted to enter Yanghua Tower, although the two doormen were not so obvious, but Tang Yao still understood, this is a dog's eyes looking down on people.
Because he was dressed in tatters, he still came on foot, so he looked down on himself, and people could go in directly when they saw Daben, although there were many snobbers in this kind of place, Tang Yao had suffered a lot of such anger in the past, but today he was invited, and he was also a formal illusionist with a certificate, and he felt really uncomfortable after seeing it.
"If you're okay, leave quickly, our store rules don't mean that customers can't go up the steps, if you want to take pictures, go down, do you hear?" The disrespectful doorman reached out and pushed Tang Yao.
"I didn't expect the service attitude of the famous Yang Hualou to be like this, I saw it today, you wait a minute, I'll make a call." Tang Yao took out his mobile phone while speaking, and directly called Yuan Yu's phone.
"Brother Yuan, I was stopped at the door, and the two snobs felt that I was not qualified to enter, otherwise if you want to talk to me today, you will be exempted, and you will have a chance to talk about it later." After Tang Yao finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly, but he didn't leave, just stood at the door of Yang Hualou and waited.
Many tourists taking pictures at the foot of the steps also seemed to notice the movement here, Tang Yao just stood and didn't leave, and the faces of the two doormen were also a little ugly, and they were also a little worried after hearing Tang Yao's phone call just now.
A moment later, a man in a black suit walked out, and the two doormen looked even more ugly when they saw this, and whispered, "Manager." ”
"This should be Yuan Gongzi's guest, I'm sorry, the doorman is not very sensible, please come with me." The lobby manager of Yang Hualou said that it is not an ordinary person to be able to do the position of lobby manager in Yang Hualou, and he can control the overall situation on the front line in this place where dragons and snakes are mixed.
Tang Yao nodded and followed him in, maybe it was the heart of a young man, he turned his head and grinned deliberately at the two doors.
The interior of Yanghualou is much smaller than Tang Yao imagined, perhaps because he is used to seeing modern hotels and restaurants today, but he feels that Yanghualou, which was built decades ago, is a little cramped.
However, the style of decoration is absolutely first-class, not only revealing the strong culture of the last century, elegant but not old, the people who eat here are also dressed in formal clothes, and they all seem to be worth a lot of money, I am afraid that at least it is also a person of the value of Fang Chao, Tang Yao looked at his torn coat, and finally understood why people would treat him as an ordinary tourist.
Yang Hualou has a total of three floors, and there is an elevator inside, they went up to the second floor, and under the leadership of the manager, they arrived at the door of the box, and the manager took a step back and said: "Yuan Gongzi has been waiting in it for a long time, I wish you a happy meal." ”
After speaking, he knocked lightly on the door of the box, and the waiter inside opened the door of the box, and the bright light shone on Tang Yao's body, Tang Yao saw Yuan Yu in a black suit at a glance, and he was not the only one in the box, there were three people seated, especially one of them, a middle-aged man who looked to be about forty years old, this person was sitting on the main seat of the round table, indicating that his status was higher than Yuan Yu.
Tang Yao walked into the luxurious box, and there was a circle of dishes on the round table, but no one touched the chopsticks.
Seeing this, Yuan Yu hurriedly got up and introduced: "Let me introduce, this is my colleague Tang Yao of the Dead Bone Hall, this time the Dead Bone Hall is in charge of the obsidian project, Tang Yao, these three are the elders of our Yuan family, this is my uncle Yuan Mou, the deputy minister of the Foreign Affairs Department of our Yuan family, and a quasi-fourth-stage master." ”
Tang Yao walked over and smiled and said, "Junior, Tang Yao has seen you. ”
After finishing speaking, he was about to pull out the chair and sit down, but before he pressed his hand on the back of the chair, he heard Yuan Mou ask coldly: "Did I let you sit down?" ”
