Chapter 20: Making Friends
Ye Chuqing entered the Aftertaste Pavilion, and Ah Hai, who was greeting him at the door, hurriedly ran over and asked with a smile: "Mr. Ye is here!" Without waiting for Ye Chuqing to speak, he opened his throat and shouted: "Shopkeeper, Mr. Ye is here!" ”
Ye Chuqing said with a smile: "Ah Hai, it seems that he is a lot smarter!" ”
Ah Hai touched his head embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Thanks to Mr. Ye, you asked the shopkeeper to invite the best doctor in the capital to treat me, I don't know how to thank you!" ”
Ye Chuqing shook his head with a smile and said, "It's nothing, as long as you work hard here, we won't be able to treat you badly!" "The last time Xiao Sun came back and talked about the aftertaste pavilion, Ye Chuqing told him about Ah Hai and asked him to find a way. I didn't expect Xiao Sun to be so efficient, and he had already asked Ah Hai for a doctor.
At this time, Shopkeeper Han greeted him with a smile: "Xiao Ye is here!" Come on in! ”
Ye Chuqing looked at the people behind him and said to the shopkeeper Han: "Uncle Han, I will invite someone to dinner today, and you can arrange two private rooms." ”
Shopkeeper Han said: "There is one VIP room upstairs reserved for you, as for the other one...... Let's go to Tianlu Pavilion! ”
Ye Chuqing nodded, no objection.
According to Ye Chuqing's suggestion, after the renovation of the Aftertaste Pavilion, six private rooms were opened upstairs as VIP rooms. The VIP room is elegantly furnished, with famous works hanging on the walls and winter plants such as perennial pines temporarily placed in the four corners. In the middle of the private room is a large round table of ten people for banquets, and there is a vacant space separated by a beaded curtain at the window next to it, and a small rectangular table is placed inside, equipped with several small stools, where guests can make tea, talk or play chess for entertainment, and can also see the scene on the street from the window. On the other side, a place was also separated by a veil, and a small depression was placed on which to rest and rest.
There are a total of six VIP rooms, which are specially used to greet dignitaries. The No. 1 VIP room is a private room reserved for Ye Chuqing, and the other five rooms are used to greet distinguished guests.
In addition, there are also ten private rooms upstairs, which are named Tianfu Pavilion, Tianlu Pavilion, Tianshou Pavilion, Tianxi Pavilion, Jucai Pavilion, Juxian Pavilion, Juyi Pavilion, Juying Pavilion, Hongyun Pavilion, Hongfu Pavilion. The scale and layout of these ten private rooms are not comparable to the VIP rooms, there are no small tables and small collapses, only tables and chairs for banquet guests. There are also famous calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and the environment is relatively quiet.
Then there were four more secondary rooms on the first floor. The interior of the second room is usually furnished, but it is relatively spacious and can accommodate twenty or thirty people at the same time, which is very suitable for banquets such as poetry and essay seminars for students.
Finally, there is the hall on the first floor, where more than 20 tables and chairs are placed to entertain guests from all walks of life, and there is nothing particular about it.
There are also two thatched houses built in the backyard on the first floor, which are guarded by a homeless old man and cleaned at any time.
Ah Hai no longer ran to the hall, but specially greeted the door, standing at the door to greet him. As for the people who ran the hall, in addition to the original few, Shopkeeper Han recruited a few young people with good conduct.
Overall, Ye Chuqing is still quite satisfied. Especially seeing that the hall on the first floor was full, Ye Chuqing was even more happy.
"Uncle Han, how is your business lately? Is boiled fish popular? Ye Chuqing asked as she walked upstairs.
Shopkeeper Han replied with a smile: "Since the renovation of the Huiwei Pavilion has been renovated, there have been more guests here, especially since the introduction of the boiled pot fish, it is overcrowded almost every day. ”
"Well," Ye Chuqing nodded, walked to the door of the No. 1 VIP room, and said to Liuxue: "You two take a few brothers to Tianlu Pavilion for dinner, and record it on my account." ”
Liuxue was unwilling, but she was glared at fiercely by Ye Chuqing, and she had no choice but to take someone into Tianlu Pavilion.
Ye Chuqing and Zhuang Qiang Han shopkeeper entered the No. 1 VIP room, and after sitting down, Zhuang Qiang, who had not spoken, suddenly asked: "Are you the owner here?" ”
Ye Chuqing looked at him in surprise, and then nodded with a smile: "Yes, you are so smart!" At this time, Ye Chuqing had basically eliminated the mustard for Zhuang Qiang, and felt that this person was not bad and worth befriending.
Zhuang Qiang smiled and did not speak. At this time, a guy came in and poured tea for them, and Ye Chuqing asked Zhuang Qiang: "That crash ...... Zhuang Gongzi, what are we eating? ”
Zhuang Qiang replied with a smile: "You say, I'll do whatever it takes." ”
Ye Chuqing thought about it, and then instructed the guy: "Make a boiled pot fish, a plate of Sixi meatballs, two vegetarian dishes, an egg soup, and don't forget two bowls of rice." "She's really hungry.
The man listened attentively, and when she finished speaking, he said, "Please wait a minute! Then he went out.
These service processes are all Ye Chuqing's plan to let Xiaoyang hand over to the shopkeeper Han and let the shopkeeper Han train specially.
Ye Chuqing stared at the door for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Uncle Han, we can recruit two dim sum masters." In addition to the wine and food, we will have to go to the dim sum shop if you want to eat dim sum. ”
Shopkeeper Han thought about it and said with a smile: "This is a good idea, I will do it soon." ”
Ye Chuqing smiled and said, "You recruit people first and try them out for a while." I'll give you some recipes and recipes before National Halloween Day. But there is one thing, the people who work in our Huiwei Pavilion must have clean hands and feet, honest and responsible people. "She may not be in this place after the National Holy Day, and when the time comes, she will hand over the affairs of the Aftertaste Pavilion to Xiao Sun, ask him to arrange a good home for the few girls around her, and then help Fang Fang start the flower shed business.
Shopkeeper Han smiled and nodded: "Of course, I will pay attention to this." As he spoke, he stood up: "You eat first, and I'll go and see." Recently, there have been a lot of guests, and a few guys are still a little busy. ”
Ye Chuqing frowned and said, "Too busy?" Then find a few more people! Then he looked at Zhuang Qiang beside him: "Zhuang Gongzi, can you help find a few honest people to work in the Wei Pavilion?" ”
Zhuang Qiang smiled and nodded in response: "Okay!" ”
Shopkeeper Han thanked him first, and then went out to take care of the business.
Zhuang Qiang looked at Ye Chuqing and smiled, and said, "I can't see it, you are young, but you can do business." ”
"It's true that I can do business, I will only do restaurant business." Ye Chuqing immediately replied: "But you are not allowed to say that I am young. "Anyway, she was in her thirties in her past and present lives combined, okay?
Zhuang Qiang smiled: "You are already young, it looks like you are only about ten years old. ”
Ye Chuqing's eyes widened in shock: "You are so powerful, you guessed accurately." I'm just 10 years old! What about you? ”
Zhuang Qiang looked at her bright eyes and smiled like a spring breeze: "I'm seventeen!" ”
"Seventeen! I'm still a minor! Ye Chuqing shook her head and muttered.
"What did you say?" Zhuang Qiang didn't hear her muttering clearly.
Ye Chuqing waved her hand busily: "It's nothing, Zhuang Gongzi, wait a minute and try the boiled pot fish, this is the hottest dish we have here." ”
Zhuang Qiang smiled and nodded: "Of course, no one doesn't know the boiled pot fish in the Aftertaste Pavilion in the capital." But......" He looked at Ye Chuqing hesitantly and asked, "Can you stop calling me Zhuang Gongzi?" I feel a little awkward. ”
Ye Chuqing smiled, "Then what do I call you?" "Hit the wall? She thought evil in her heart.
Of course, Zhuang Qiang didn't know what she was thinking, so he just said seriously: "Since I heard about the heroic deeds of the little boy who helped the mother and daughter of the Jin family to recover money and things and punish the thief, I want to meet this little boy and have the heart to make friends with him." I don't want to meet today, and I don't want to miss this opportunity. But I didn't know that the little boy was actually the son of a rich and noble family......"
Ye Chuqing hurriedly said: "What does this have to do with whether I am rich or not?" I like to make friends, and I like to make friends with heroes and righteous people. At first, I thought you, as their big brother, were also a ruffian. I didn't expect you to be such a righteous person, and after I learned that you had subdued the street gangsters and reformed their ways, I completely changed my opinion of you. I think I'd love to make you a friend. ”
Zhuang Qiang couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Really? ”
"Of course!" Ye Chuqing raised her head high and looked serious: "If you can, let's call each other brothers......"
"No!" Zhuang Qiang suddenly interrupted Ye Chuqing's words, and in Ye Chuqing's stunned gaze, he said slowly: "It's a brother and sister who are commensurate!" ”
"What?" Ye Chuqing was suddenly startled, and suddenly stood up from the small stool and looked at Zhuang Qiang in surprise.
Zhuang Qiang smiled and said: "Actually, I found out that you are a girl a long time ago, but it was difficult to tell how many people there were before." Now it's just the two of us, and I won't hide it from you. ”
"That'...... The ...... "You made friends with me because I was a woman?" Ye Chuqing didn't ask what she wanted to ask, but she was a little angry.
Zhuang Qiang seemed to see what she was thinking, so he poured her a cup of tea with a smile and handed it over: "I Zhuang Qiang doesn't consider men and women when making friends, as long as he is a righteous and heroic person, I am willing to make friends with him." ”
Ye Chuqing took the tea he handed over and slowly sat back on the stool: "That...... Don't let anyone else know. ”
Zhuang Qiang responded without hesitation: "Okay! Then he asked, "But I don't know your name yet?" ”
Ye Chuqing replied: "My name is Ye Chuqing, and I am the second daughter of General Ye Qingyun. ”
Zhuang Qiang suddenly exclaimed: "It turns out that you are General Ye's daughter?" Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! ”
Ye Chuqing smiled and waved his hand: "Don't say that, then I'll call you big brother?" ”
Zhuang Qiang smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm older than you, so I wronged you to call me brother." Call it whatever you want! Big brother or Brother Zhuang can do it. ”
"Brother Qiang?" When Ye Chuqing heard this name at first glance, she felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it, he suddenly burst out laughing. Isn't Xu Wenqiang called Brother Qiang in "Shanghai Tang"?
Zhuang Qiang couldn't help but be a little strange when he saw her laughing: "What's wrong with you?" ”
Ye Chuqing hurriedly stopped laughing and replied, "It's nothing, Brother Qiang, it's good!" "It's really good! is also like Xu Wenqiang with a group of younger brothers to mix in society, and it is quite suitable to be called Brother Qiang.
After a pause, Ye Chuqing corrected: "You can just call me Xiaoye, or Yezi, it's okay." "You can't do it without a name! You can't scream "hey" or "hey" outside!
Zhuang Qiang was as good as a stream, and shouted with a smile: "Yezi! ”
Ye Chuqing was immediately happy. She has another friend. Obviously, the excited Ye Chuqing had long forgotten that she was going back to modern times, and only felt that it was good to have another friend.
