Chapter 59: No seat
Chapter 59: No seats
Qin San is in this Xuanzhou Mansion East Street, just an idler who eats rent to live. The rent of more than a dozen shops under his hand supports a simple family of five, and it can be regarded as a small rich household.
But he also has an alternative identity, to use modern words, that is, a gourmet, only he has not eaten, and there is nothing he can't eat. Whenever some high-end restaurants open, he will be invited to come to the store to sit down, so Xuanzhou Mansion is also famous.
His home is in the alleys of Niuwei Alley on East Street, and he has to pass through Caifeng Building when he comes out and goes in.
As an idler, he knows whose property Caifeng Lou is. In the past few days, the wind collection building has been closed for decoration, and it has been ringing for more than a month, and he estimates that it will open in these days, thinking that he can eat delicious food again.
Although he is an idler, the name of the golden tongue is not called in vain, and when Caifeng Building opened, he also went to the town, so he naturally felt that this time, the Cheng family would definitely send a post to the door.
For this post, he asked Xiao Si at home to stay at the door of the Caifeng Building every day, waiting for the closed decoration of the Caifeng Building to open, while he was waiting for the invitation at home.
However, what was waiting was Xiao Si's panicked face, "Master, I saw the door of the Caifeng Building open." ”
Qin San stood up when he heard this, his face was blinded, he hadn't received the invitation yet, why was the Caifeng Building about to open?
"Let's go, go over and have a look." He knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he went to Caifeng Building in person, and before he got closer, he saw a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old wearing a white apron, getting off and off the flower basket from the carriage with his hands and feet.
Basket? He was stunned again, and then saw two red paper banners pasted on the flower basket: Long Solidarity Cloth, Xingye Changxin, and the payment is Jingshan, this is a famous Confucian in Xuanzhou Mansion!
Look at it again, 'Chang period opens the scenery, Taixiang Qiyang Spring', the payment is Huizhi, this is the name of the prefect, Qin San is a spirit, and his hairs are standing up. Look at it again, 'a Sichuan Fengyue keeps people drunk, and a hundred dishes are for guests to taste', and the payment is the private seal of Gu Zhenping.
Qin San couldn't help but feel that his body trembled, and his eyes looked uncontrollably at the carriages that were being pulled over one after another, just for a while, there were already seven or eight carriages parked at the door of the Caifeng Building, and there were still carriages coming in the distance, which made his son Qin San only feel that his legs and stomach were bent and he couldn't stand.
Xiao Si's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly supported him, and asked in a loud voice: "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”
Where could Qin San say anything at this time, a pair of eyes stared at the more than ten flower baskets that had been placed at the door of Caifeng Building, and his heart was so dangerous, fortunately, he came here in person, if Xiao Si was asked to spread rumors and slander the reputation of Caifeng Building, he would not know how he died.
He is an idler, and it is common for him to do harmless things.
"Let's go back." It was only after a long time that he felt that he had found his voice, waved his hand, and walked back in prostration.
Xiao Si scratched his head strangely behind him, the old man in his heart is really strange, he told me to stare here for a long time, why did he go back without doing anything at this time?
Seeing that Qin San had already gone far away, Xiao Si couldn't help but ask, "Master, why don't we go and see the excitement?" I heard that the inside of the wind collection building is very novel. ”
Qin San turned his head, looked at him, and said in his heart: Novelty, of course novelty, don't look at those people who sent flower baskets!
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, Qin San felt that he had caught something, he was not a stupid person, he naturally understood the doorway of this matter. Turned around and rushed home, Xiao Si called the old man behind him, Qin San had already run out seven or eight meters away, he thought of something and turned around and said, "You go and arrange a place for the master, and I'll go over when I'm done!" ”
After that, he jumped forward like a dog and a cat, and ran home in one breath as if he was panting, and his daughter-in-law Zhang saw it, and it was very rare, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Picked up by a dog? ”
Where can Qin San take care of his daughter-in-law's ridicule, and when he has had enough, he pushes his daughter-in-law to the side, and goes straight to the study, while also instructing: "Call the high account room, let's open a flower shop and specialize in selling flower baskets!" ”
There are many people who have the same idea as him, and one by one they are afraid that they will be one step too late, so they will take the lead, so in Xuanzhou Mansion, after this day, seven or eight flower shops were opened within four or five days, and the speed was staggering. Because Qin San seized the opportunity and had a little money in his hands, the flower shop business was very good, but he earned a hundred taels of silver in half a month, and the whole person was full of red light.
Of course, that's another story.
Qin Sanxing was talking to the shopkeeper about opening a flower shop, and Xiao Si, who was running errands, hurriedly knocked on the door and came in, sweating in the winter, and couldn't say all the excited words: "Old, master, Caifeng, there is no seat in Caifeng Building!" ”
The opening of a high-end restaurant will have a big opening reward, and it is not uncommon to have no seats. Qin San frowned, very unhappy to be interrupted from his train of thought, and scolded: "If it's gone, it's gone, what's the big deal." ”
But Xiao Si said: "No, master, there is no seat," he racked his brains desperately to come up with a word: "The stools in the Caifeng Building are in short supply, and the big guys are grabbing the stools!" ”
This is quite unusual, Qin San blinked, and thought that he had heard it wrong-Caifeng Lou is not a restaurant but a furniture shop now? That's not right, aren't the blessings on those flower baskets just now for the restaurant?
He was a little stunned and asked, "Caifeng Lou bought furniture?" ”
Xiao Si was illiterate, and he couldn't think of many words, so he simply stepped forward and pulled Qin San and ran out, "Master, you better go and see by yourself, everyone is crowded everywhere!" ”
The matter is almost the same here, and I wanted to follow it to see the excitement, but Qin San was still worried about the flower shop, and when he turned around and saw the high account room following, he hurriedly said: "Gao account room, I bother you to go and pick up the flower shop, I will come when I go." ”
Well, the high account room had to stand still and turn around to find someone to look at the shop.
And this one, as soon as Qin San came out of Niuwei Alley, he was stunned by the grand scene in front of him, what kind of restaurant is this, it is simply a tile market! No, it's a tyrant-level tile city!
I saw the head of the person in front of him surging, jewelry, silk and satin, mixed with a little Tsing Yi Xiao Si squeezed in, and occasionally scolded, "Who stepped on Lao Tzu's feet!" "My fan!" "Oh, who saw the pendant on my ear?"
Qin San swallowed his saliva, he recognized at a glance that these people crowded at the door were all famous merchants and officials in Xuanzhou Mansion, he was an idler, in such a person, it was really not enough to see.
"Sir, sir, look there." Xiao Si's eyes were sharp, and he dragged the corner of Qin San's clothes and pointed to a place, which was the gate of Caifeng Building, at this time, there were two fifteen or sixteen-year-old young men wearing white aprons carrying a chair and moving something out, the crowd got out of the way, this thing walked towards Qin San step by step, and then got into the carriage.
Qin San finally saw the leather chair clearly, his heart was very hot, and he had a different feeling for Xiao Er in a white apron - these two children are really too visionary, right? The more you look at it, the more comfortable it becomes!
Invisible, even he didn't know it, the little white apron had left an imprint on his mind.
"It's beautiful!" He couldn't help but admire.
"Handsome guy, take it!" At this time, a team of twelve or thirteen-year-old girls poured out from the Caifeng Building, all of them wore green and green gowns, the cuffs and trousers were embroidered with red plum blossoms, tied with two thick braids, tied with pink aprons, and the flowing water seemed to come out. ”
After finishing speaking, he also sent over the stack of papers he was holding in his hand, which said that the opening reward activities of Caifeng Building were written, but these new things didn't seem to be able to suppress the explosive movement just now, nor could they suppress Qin San's curiosity.
He hurriedly grabbed a girl and asked, "Are you here a restaurant or a furniture shop?" ”
No wonder he is a little confused, these things in Caifeng Lou are completely beyond his knowledge, if you have doubts, don't be ashamed.
The little girl's speech was crisp, and there were two pear vortices at the corners of her mouth when she spoke, and she smiled lightly, "We are a restaurant, which opens today." Those chairs were given to the family of Master Gu, the envoy of Jiedu. ”
Only then did Qin San understand that it was a chair, and it was from a restaurant.
Wait! Only then did he understand what Xiao Si meant when he said that the chair was gone.
Seeing that the girl was leaving, he hurriedly reached out and grabbed her arm and asked, "Do you still have this chair?" I want it too. ”
The little girl was frightened by his actions, her face turned pale, she pursed her mouth tightly and didn't speak, Qin San found out that she let go, and the girl said, "Our chairs are not for sale!" After saying that, he turned around and left.
But Qin San was willing to let her go, "You don't have a chair, so how can you open a restaurant?" ”
He is not the only one who has such questions, in the square in front of the small gate of Caifeng Building, almost every crowd gathered in a crowd is pulling a girl or a little second to ask this.
The girl and the second child only replied: "If we open a restaurant, there will naturally be a seat!" ”
Qin San choked, he became more curious about Caifenglou, and he didn't greet Xiao Si anymore, he rushed to the lobby of Caifenglou alone, and when he finally squeezed in, there were small cubicles in front of him, small dining tables, and upholstered chairs, all of which blinded him.
These compartments are lined up one by one, neatly and comfortably, and give people a sense of nobility.
On the wooden compartment board, there are also pots of small potted plants, green and bright, and the heart trembles when you look at it, it's too forceful, isn't it!
Looking at it, Qin San suddenly realized that if he didn't grab a seat again, it was estimated that there would really be no seat in a while, so he hurriedly looked for a seat, because there were too many people today, and people were constantly entering the door, Qin San came in too late, and finally only found a seat near the back hall, which was relatively close to a door, and there was a sandalwood fragrance wafting out inside, which couldn't help but make his heart flutter - is this the room where those little girls in Caifeng Lou stay?
He couldn't help but cautiously glance at the previous years, but he didn't see anything.
In fact, what he didn't know was actually the bathroom. According to Xia Meizhen's design, in order to avoid peculiar smells, sandalwood is burned inside, and the same thickness of bamboo tube and water are used to treat filth, which will not affect the meal in the front hall.
