On March 18, it is advisable to open the market, trade, hang plaques, and open the light, and avoid marriage, bedridden, sick visits, and stoves.

This day is the day when Cui'er's tea shop opens, and it can be described as a sunny and cloudless sky. Cui'er got up early in the morning, sat in front of the dresser and put on her hair and makeup, happy in her heart.

Because the tea shop was about to open, Master Ye had already returned to Ye's Mansion three days in advance, and Mrs. Ye was worried about the situation of the shop and worried about Cui'er, so she simply went back to Ye's Mansion during the day to have a look, and went to Lian's Mansion to accompany Cui'er at night.

"Madam, can you comb your wishful bun?" Xiangmo stood behind Cui'er, looked at the pink-faced and beaming Cui'er in the mirror, and asked with a smile.

"Okay, just comb your hair in a ruyi bun and match it with my red gold and ruby head." Cui'er smiled and nodded, today is a big day for the opening of her own tea shop, as the nominal owner, although she can't show up like a man, she also has to go to the scene to see.

Xiangmo is a clever person, and it didn't take much effort to comb Cui'er with a neat and neat bun. took out the head of the red gold inlaid with rubies, carefully helped Cui'er hairpin on her head, and helped Cui'er change clothes and shoes, and was very busy.

"Xiangmo, your craftsmanship is getting better and better." Cui'er looked at herself in the mirror, her lips were red and her teeth were white, she looked dignified and magnificent, she was very satisfied, and looked back at Xiangmo and smiled.

"Madame gave me this opportunity." Xiang Mo refused to take credit, and responded with a smile, while tidying up the things on the dresser.

I saw that the time was not early. Cui'er was ready to go. But before leaving, Cui'er returned to her bedroom and carefully covered the quilt for the three children. He whispered a few words to Mama Gui, and then walked out of her room.

Cui'er walked all the way along the verandah, and Shi Shiran walked out of the second door, and her steps were fluttering. I got into a carriage with an ebony wooden shed, and after leaving the gate, I went in the direction of the teahouse.

The Fuqi Hutong where Lianfu is located is only two streets away from Yefu, and it is early in the morning, except for the officials of the upper court. There weren't too many people, so Cui'er's carriage went extremely smoothly.

It's just two quarters of an hour's work. Cui'er felt that the carriage was stunned and slowly stopped, and the location of this stop was the newly bought teahouse of the Ye family.

Because it's still early. When Cui'er helped Yahuan's men get out of the car, there were only her own family members around the teahouse, and it was not a show of sight. Cui'er got out of the carriage very relieved, took the hands of Xiangmo and Xiangye and stood in front of the teahouse, and took a closer look.

The appearance of this teahouse has not changed much, and it is still a simple dark wood color façade. There are commercial streets on the left and right of this face, and there are rows of satin Zhuangzi, silver buildings and restaurants, but I am not afraid that there will be no customers.

The position remains the same, and the door face doesn't seem to move much. It's just freshly painted and looks better. Unlike the original, the plaque on this gate has been replaced, and now it is covered with red silk. Wait for the opening time later, and let the guests open it.

If Cui'er remembers correctly, what is written on this plaque should be the four big characters of Biye Piaoxiang, which is the ink treasure of General Wenxiu who was specially requested, and after taking it home, he invited someone to carefully carve it into a large plaque with black lacquer and gold characters, which should be a piece of this door.

The green leaves are fragrant. The four words not only point out the Ye family's famous tea Biye tea, but also show that this Biye tea is fragrant from far and near. It's really a rare and good tea. The word green leaf can refer to the green leaf, and this tea comes from the green leaf, which can lead to all good tea.

When Cui'er was standing at the door and looking up at the plaque, the shopkeeper who was busy inside ran out. Although the shopkeeper didn't know Cui'er, he heard from Master Ye that the nominal owner, the actual owner, would come over in the morning to have a look.

"Miss Dongjia is here, the little surname is You, she is the shopkeeper of this teahouse, Miss Dongjia is invited to come in!" This shopkeeper is the shopkeeper when Cui'er came to drink tea last time, and he is talkative and can be a person, so Cui'er suggested that her father keep this person to keep some repeat customers.

"I'm tired." Cui'er looked at the shopkeeper's attentive appearance and nodded, "Is the tea in the shop ready?" ”

"If you go back to the owner, you will be fully prepared, a total of three kinds of good tea, ten kinds of good tea, and twenty kinds of medium tea, all of which have been placed on the cabinet and written on the water sign, and when the guests come to the door, they will try their best to recommend it." The shopkeeper's business acumen is not bad, and he told Cui'er about his arrangements in detail.

"Well, what's going on with the private room upstairs? Take me up and have a look. Cui'er remembers the last time I came, there was a lot of upstairs, and looking down from the upstairs window, I could see the scenery of this street.

Later, when Master Ye decided to buy this teahouse, Cui'er told her father that she wanted to enclose a piece of the upstairs near the stairs to make a private room. First, you can separate a secluded place to discuss things, and secondly, the ladies and ladies who are tired of shopping around here also have a place to settle down and rest, which can be regarded as a source of more customers.

After listening to Cui'er's words, Master Ye felt that it was very reasonable, so he asked people to separate the private room upstairs when renovating, and the position of the stairs that originally went upstairs was also cleared to avoid colliding with people.

Cui'er looked at the landscape screen carved from wood as soon as she entered the door, and the landscape carved on it was magnificent, which made people feel refreshed when they looked at it. To the left of the screen is the seat of the tea drinkers, and to the right is the staircase upstairs.

Cui'er remembered that the bottom of the staircase was originally a scattered seat, but now she sees that it is divided into a small seat, which looks more clean.

The shopkeeper personally led Cui'er upstairs, the wooden staircase was originally just an ordinary wooden plank, and it was a little scary to step on. Now it has been changed to a sturdy thick wooden plank, and handrails have been added on both sides, but it is not as terrifying as before.

Walking up the stairs to the second floor, Cui'er saw the appearance of the private room. On the side of the staircase, there are rows of bamboo curtains, and the bottom of the bamboo curtains seems to be blocked by something, and only the light is cast at a height of more than half a person. From the gap in the bamboo curtain, you can faintly see the appearance of some tables and chairs, obviously inside is a private room.

Cui'er looked at the bamboo curtain, and couldn't help frowning slightly, when she came up from this staircase, she could see the faint outline of the tables and chairs, so when the guests came up, wouldn't they also be able to see the people in the private room?

As soon as Cui'er's brows furrowed, the shopkeeper saw it, he followed Cui'er's gaze, and saw the transparent bamboo curtain, and after a little sum in his heart, he knew what Cui'er was thinking.

"The host, please come here, this is a private room arranged according to your wishes." After seeing Cui'er's expression, Shopkeeper You did not rush to refute, but took two steps forward, opened the curtain of the bamboo door of the private room, and invited Cui'er to go in and take a look.

Cui'er saw that there was a clear expression on his face, there was flattery but no anxiety and uneasiness, and she knew that there might be an inside story here, so she nodded, and followed the shopkeeper You into the private room with Yahuan.

"Look, the owner of this private room has a very good view, you can see the commercial street where people come and go, it is very lively, and you can see the backyard scenery of this teahouse over there, and it is also very good to be quiet in the middle of the noise." After the shopkeeper You watched Cui'er enter the private room, he did not rush to talk about the transparent bamboo curtain, but talked about the scenery in the private room.

"Well, that's good." Cui'er heard Shopkeeper You's words, and walked around the private room, and sure enough, as Shopkeeper You said, the side facing the street can see the scenery of the street, and the side near the backyard can see the lush trees in the yard.

In addition, Cui'er also saw that in the middle of the north and south of this private room, there was something similar to a door made of bamboo, as if it was made of rows of bamboo boards, and it looked like a modern rolling shutter door with a gentle push of her hand, and she could slide away.

"This!" Cui'er was suddenly shocked in her heart, although Cui'er had seen the roller shutter door and the like, she had never thought of using it in ancient decorations, and now when she saw this, she couldn't help but be surprised in her heart, could it be that someone is like herself, from modern times?

"This is a little er who likes to ponder carpentry came up with it, called the bamboo door, such a gentle pull, can turn a private room into two, guests want to sit at two more tables, and it is extremely convenient to do it separately." Shopkeeper You saw that Cui'er was interested in this door, and said busily.

"We also have the same thing on the window, and there is a layer of rolled bamboo doors in front of the bamboo curtain, so that the inside and outside are completely isolated, so you don't have to worry about the guests being spied on." Shopkeeper You took the opportunity to answer Cui'er's question just now, and after saying this, he hung his hand and waited aside.

"I see." It is very good that someone in the family can think of this matter, Cui'er nodded, and said to Shopkeeper You, "Shopkeeper You explained very patiently and meticulously, reward!" ”

Xiangye received Cui'er's eyes, so she took out a purse for rewarding and handed it to Shopkeeper You.

"Xie Dongjia's reward!" Shopkeeper You pinched the weight of the purse, the smile on his face became bigger, and he bowed down and thanked Cui'er for the reward.

"The little er who made the bamboo door is also a meritorious one, and he will be rewarded!" Cui'er gently pulled the bamboo door with her hand, and saw that the bamboo curtain that was still transparent was tightly blocked, and nodded and continued.

"The little one is rewarded for Xiao Anzi!" The shopkeeper bowed to Cui'er again, and then took another smaller purse from Xiangye's hand.

"Okay, shopkeeper You, go and get busy, I'll take a look in this private room, and I'll leave later." After Cui'er let Shopkeeper You go down, she sat in the private room of the teahouse, watching the rising sun rise in the east, and the hope and joy in her heart became bigger and bigger.

When the auspicious time arrived, the firecrackers at the door of the teahouse crackled, and Cui'er sat upstairs looking at the bustling crowd below, listening to the lively and festive drum music, and the smile on her face never faded.

It's great that my family has opened a shop in the capital. (To be continued)
