Twenty-sixth will be true and false princess twenty-six
Although Feng Bao didn't know what Qin Tai knew, he vaguely felt that Qin Tai and his wife had already mastered quite important clues. Therefore, after leaving the Tai Hospital, Feng Bao always wanted to find an opportunity to ask Qin Tai about the progress of the development of the case. Qin Tai also knew that it was time to tell part of the truth to Feng Bao, otherwise Feng Bao would not be able to cooperate with him. Qin Tai found a teahouse with a small shop, Feng Bao's people were guarding outside, and Qiu Xiaoqiu was sitting at the door of the teahouse, which actually gave everyone a good look. Since Qiu Xiaoqiu joined the team, this task of putting the wind and sentry into the team has been handed over to Qiu Xiaoqiu. Zhan Xiaoxiao is responsible for protecting Qin Tai closely, and also serves as a secretary and assistant. Qin Tai and Feng Bao asked for a private room, and they drank tea and talked about things in it.
In a place like the capital, where every inch of land is valuable, even such an inconspicuous teahouse costs a lot of money. Because the shop is not large, coupled with the lack of manpower, there will definitely be no big pattern. The so-called elegant room is just a small room separated by a place with good lighting along the street, blocked by a few wooden boards, even if it is a relatively quiet small room. Every morning and afternoon, someone in the teahouse tells a different story, which is a common storytelling in ancient times. In ancient times, there were not many people who really knew how to read and write, and the common people did not know how to read because they had no money to study, and some dignitaries disdained to read. Although these people don't know words, it doesn't mean that they don't want to know the stories of the past. At that time, there were relatively few entertainment projects, there were no TV movies and no KT, and the theater did not have dramas every day. Not only are there time limits, but there are also many frequencies that cost and hurt the body. Therefore, everyone likes to soak in the teahouse, which is not only cheap and lively, but also can inquire about all kinds of news. However, it is difficult to do business when there are many teahouses, and the people who often run the teahouses are idle people, and fights and troubles often occur. If the teahouse is not distinctive, it will not be able to retain customers. The teahouse had to be renovated, and from time to time people were invited to perform programs to help the teahouse. Acrobatic shows are too risky, and it is the industry rule that troupes cannot sing outside the theater. Therefore, the teahouse has become the world of storytellers, the people of the teahouse use the storyteller to attract customers, and the people who come to the teahouse to consume like to listen to an interesting story every day and feel that it is worth the money. Storytellers also use teahouses to find their own sources of livelihood and promote their own reputations. Therefore, storytellers change their ways to tell stories wonderfully, which can attract more people to listen to their stories. Guests sometimes follow the storyteller, and the storyteller goes there to tell the story, and these guests often go to the teahouse to drink tea and listen to stories. Insiders call this kind of guest a cheer, and they come to the teahouse just to listen to the story. Sometimes the storyteller leaves the scene after telling the story, and they leave. But there is also a kind of people who do not follow the trend, they drink tea in a fixed teahouse, they listen to what the storyteller says, and they still drink tea and chat when the storyteller leaves. The teahouse likes this kind of old customer, and the guy calls this kind of customer an old customer.
There are two rather serious crises in the teahouse, the first is a storyteller, and the second is a regular customer. The storyteller and the teahouse are in a cooperative relationship, and the two parties negotiate the remuneration, and the storyteller generally collects money once a month, which is called a monthly subscription. The monthly subscription is fixed, almost every year or half a year, and the more famous the storyteller, the more expensive the price. Usually, the reward money given by the guests is stored in the teahouse, and it is settled every ten days, which is called the end of the decade, and the ten days are ten days. The reward is also a tip, which is given by the guests, some because the guys serve well, some because the teahouse has a good attitude, and more because the storyteller tells a wonderful story. The reward is more or less, and the generous person sometimes makes a big ingot of silver as soon as he makes a move. The shopkeeper of the teahouse will record the reward money in a pen and settle it every ten days. According to the rules of the teahouse, all the rewards are divided into three equal parts, one for the teahouse owner, one for the storyteller, and one for the shopkeeper. However, some storytellers are more domineering, and they ask for forty or even fifty percent when they open their mouths, and whether they give it or not depends on whether the cooperation between the two parties is good or not. So sometimes the storyteller also determines the quality of the teahouse business. Besides, a storyteller can't have too many stories, almost every storyteller has his own characteristics, but there is always a time to finish. Once the good story is told and everyone gets tired of listening to it, the storyteller will not be sought after, and it will also affect the business of the teahouse. In order to ensure freshness, some teahouses invite people separately, at least to ensure that the storyteller cannot continue to talk about it, which will affect the operation of the teahouse.
The second crisis is the source of customers. The old customers are the most loyal people in the teahouse, they sit in the teahouse for a morning or afternoon, and even someone sits for a day. They not only drink tea and eat snacks in the teahouse, but also eat in the teahouse. Originally, the teahouse was not a cooking business, but customers were allowed to eat in the teahouse. Some regular customers are too lazy to bring their own food, so they order food at the teahouse and ask the teahouse to buy it outside. Generally speaking, there is no special designated meal, and the teahouse generally finds a nearby restaurant to order the food. Of course, there are also guests who want to eat designated dishes in designated restaurants, and this price is more expensive. The teahouse not only charges the guests for ordering food, but also charges a certain service fee and delivery fee. This amount of money is not small, and the teahouse orders takeout for customers, and the income also accounts for three or four percent of the total income. Old customers don't come to the teahouse alone to drink tea, they always come in groups. Anyone who offends a guest will lead to the loss of a large number of guests, so the guys and shopkeepers of the teahouse dare not easily offend any guest. The teahouse is not afraid of new opponents appearing, but it is afraid that some people will make trouble or provoke old customers. Once the regular customers who are a regular source of customers do not come, this teahouse is about to be unable to open.
The teahouse that Qin Tai came in was not far from the Imperial Palace, the closest teahouse to the Tai Hospital. This teahouse business is average, because it is not the time for storytellers to come on to tell stories. Since there is no time period until noon, so there are only two or three guests in the teahouse. Qin Tai's group of people directly entered the elegant room, and the teahouse guys immediately went in to serve. The elegant room is not affordable for ordinary people, the teahouse has the rules of the teahouse, generally speaking, the elegant room is more expensive than the general hall service, and the price is several times that of the general tea. People who come to the private room generally do not come to drink tea, either to discuss business or write contracts in the private room, and there are also people who discuss important matters. Not only are these people relatively generous, but they will also give tips, so the guys are relatively enthusiastic about serving.
But this teahouse is weird, and although the guy is very enthusiastic, he is always looking around. Zhan Xiaoxiao followed the guy's eyes and saw that the guy always looked at the two or three guests in the hall outside. Zhan Xiaoxiao took a closer look and finally saw the true faces of these two or three so-called guests. The guests of these two or three teahouses are not good people, they are clearly local gangsters, who specialize in collecting protection money or collecting debts on behalf of others. They were dressed in sleek clothes, each occupying a table, making eye contact with each other from time to time. Zhan Xiaoxiao looked at the nervous guy and the shopkeeper who couldn't cry or laugh, and knew that they had entered a troublesome place.
Zhan Xiaoxiao gave Feng Bao a look, and Feng Bao immediately understood that things had changed. Feng Bao is also a ruthless character, and the chief manager of Da Nei has not been in vain for so many years. It's just a glance that you can roughly know what is strange in the teahouse. Feng Bao didn't bother to pay attention to these little things, Feng Bao made a gesture to his own people outside the door, and then stopped paying attention to them. He believes that his people will definitely get things done, and dealing with a few gangsters will be a piece of cake for the people of Dongchang. Let him, a celebrant eunuch in charge of the seal, personally deal with a few gangsters in the capital, and he can afford these gangsters too much.
