Chapter 8: Hibiscus House
Gezhou City is the seat of the state capital and a strategic location, with a high and thick city gate.
However, when Gu Yun came to the city gate, he felt that the two big characters "Gezhou" on the doorway were even more dazzling. It is clearly a official book, the font is straight, vigorous and powerful, and it seems to be from the hand of a famous artist.
Riding a horse and holding a long sword at his waist, Gu Yun came to the city gate, but was stopped by the city gate soldiers.
"Childe, please dismount, horseback riding is not allowed in Gezhou City!" This is also because the soldiers saw that the long sword on Gu Yun's waist was quite gorgeous, and guessed that Gu Yun should be a person with status, so he was so polite.
"Oh!" Gu Yun hurriedly dismounted, then took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the soldier, and asked: "This eldest brother, the younger brother has just come from other places, I don't know which inn in this Gezhou City is the largest and the most prosperous?" ”
The soldier Ding was happy, took the broken silver, and replied flatteringly: "Back to Gongzi, the biggest inn in this Gezhou City is Yuelai Inn, but if you want to say the most distinctive, it belongs to Furong Building, if Gongzi is lucky enough to let the proprietress of Furong Building show her cooking skills, to ensure that Gongzi is worth the trip!" ”
"Hibiscus House! Hehe, interesting, I don't know how to go to this Furong Building? Gu Yun asked with a smile.
The soldier gestured in the direction of the city gate, "After entering the city, go all the way north, and then go east after Yintong Qianzhuang, and when you get there, Gongzi will see the Furong Tower." It is also the most prosperous place in Gezhou City, and the Yuelai Inn is also not far from that street. ”
"That being the case, thank you for this big brother! In the next farewell! Gu Yun bowed, but he didn't expect that not only did the inn inquire clearly, but Qian Zhuang also knew where it was, and he also got some special news.
"Childe is polite, go slowly!" The soldier also learned to arch his hand, let it aside, and watched Gu Yun enter the city.
……
Gu Yun led the horse, first came to the Yintong Bank, and exchanged 500 taels of silver tickets for 100 taels of gold. This is the gold he is going to take back to modern times for money, worth at least one million, holding it in his hand makes him feel precipitated and excited, as long as he sells it, his brother is also a millionaire!
With excitement, Gu Yun got out of Qianzhuang and walked directly to the east. Since Furong Building is also an inn and features food, Gu Yun naturally chose to live there. Not only can you live and enjoy the food, why not?
Before walking out of the street for hundreds of meters, I saw a quaint wooden building full of red lanterns in the distance, and the big characters on the lanterns showed that it was the Furong Building.
Compared with the green buildings and taverns across the street, the Furong House is not very big, only two stories high, but the business is excellent. Gu Yun led the horse to the front of the building and stood still, looking at the signboard of the Furong Building a little stunned. Because there is a line of small characters on the left side of the three words of "Furong Building" on the plaque, look at the drop, it is actually a big calligrapher Mi Fu. I just don't know if this Mi Fu is Bi Mi Fu!
After this stunned effort, a small servant in front of the Furong Building asked with a shy smile: "Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?" ”
Gu Yun reacted, stopped looking at the plaque, and responded: "Stay in the hotel!" ”
"Guest officer, please come inside!" The smile on the little guy's face became even stronger, and he bent down and led Gu Yun into the store. Outside the shop, there are other people leading the horses and settling them in the exclusive stables of the Furong Building.
Gu Yun approached the Furong Building with the little servant. I saw a lobby in front of me, and on the left side of the lobby, there were seven or eight tables, which were basically full at the moment. In the middle of the lobby, there is a staircase up to the second floor, and there seem to be many boxes upstairs. At the right of the lobby is the counter of the Hibiscus Building.
"One guest, stay at the hotel!" The little servant led Gu Yun to the counter, and after greeting him, he went out to wait for the other guests.
"I want an upper room!" Gu Yun never lived in a bad room in this ancient world, so he directly ordered the room.
"Guest, I'm sorry! The upper room of our store is full, and there are only other rooms! The guy behind the counter immediately accompanied him and explained. The sword on the waist of the guest in front of him doesn't look ordinary, so don't get angry.
"Didn't go to the room? The other rooms give me the best room! Gu Yun frowned slightly, but then he was relieved. This Furong building is estimated to be mainly catering, and there are slightly fewer guest rooms.
"What a shame, guest officer!" The guy breathed a sigh of relief, checked a record in front of him, and asked, "The Dizi Gengwu room is still empty, guest officer, or is it just this one?" ”
"Okay, just this one, take me up!" Gu Yun nodded, the size of the ground should be the second grade, and it is not too bad.
"Guest officer, please come with me!" There was already a small servant waiting at the counter, and when he heard that the guest had booked a room, he immediately blushed and took the initiative to step forward.
"Hmm!"
Gu Yun followed the little guy to the backyard. I saw that there was a hole in the back of the lobby, where there were more than a dozen tables, and a third of the diners were seated at the moment.
Seeing so many diners, Gu Yun asked casually, "I said, are these guests here to stay or eat?" Why are there so many people before dinner yet? ”
"Guest officer, although it's almost a meal at the moment, it's almost there!" The little guy was quite eye-catching, and suggested, "If you are worried that you won't have a seat later, you can ask the little ones to bring the food to the room!" ”
"Oh, that's fine!" Gu Yun nodded and said no more.
The little servant led Gu Yun into the backyard and went up to a wooden building that was almost connected to the front.
This wooden building is also two storeys high. The ground room is close to the side of the Hibiscus Building in front, and the windows can be opened, but the view will definitely be blocked by the Hibiscus Building, and it is estimated that there is no scenery to be seen.
The little guy opened a guest room with the word "Gengwu" written on the door beam, and said: "Guest officer, this is the room with the word Gengwu, are you still satisfied?" ”
Gu Yun opened the window and looked, and sure enough, he couldn't see anything. Such a room may be almost close to others, but it is just right for Gu Yun, such a room is more hidden. At that moment, he nodded and said, "It's okay, so be it!" ”
"Well, the little one will go down. If you need a meal, just shout and the little ones will bring it to you. Of course, you can also go downstairs and order your own food. ”
"Well, Zhilu said. I'm going to rest for a while, and you tell no one to bother. ”
"It's good, it's a little one!" The little guy handed the key to Gu Yun, bowed slightly, and retreated.
Gu Yun closed the door and lay down on the bed. It's really a bit tiring after a long day of traveling. What's more, there were two life-and-death fights at noon.
However, if you want to sleep, it is better to go back to modern times. It's been almost a day, and it's only been about an hour since the modern era. I went back to sleep for two or three hours, and it was less than half an hour since I passed here, just in time to pass over for dinner.
So Gu Yun pulled the quilt on the bed, stuffed the pillow in, and arranged it. From a distance, it looks like a person sleeping in a bed, and if you don't look closely, it's easy to ignore.
After setting up the bed, Gu Yun took the gold and wore it back.
When he got home, Gu Yun untied his sword, took off his clothes, took the electric shocker, riot guard and other things to charge, and then put the gold in a hidden drawer and locked it, and then went to bed and began to sleep.
Maybe he was really tired, plus the first pot of gold was in hand, and he arrived in the big city of Gezhou smoothly, Gu Yun relaxed and slept very soundly. This sleep, I slept for more than four hours before waking up. He was so excited that he quickly got up and washed up.
Just as he was about to go back to ancient times, Gu Yun suddenly thought of something again, then stopped what he was doing, cleaned up a little, opened the door, and went to the village to deliberately wander around. It wasn't until he said hello to an acquaintance in the village that he returned home with confidence.
Closing the door, putting on stab-proof clothing, Confucian clothing, and Confucian hat, and then hiding the self-defense props on his body one by one, and then hanging the gem Tang Sword on his waist after the most lucrative time, Gu Yun activated the astrolabe and came to the guest room of Furong Building again.
Seeing that the quilt on the bed was still exactly the same as when he went back, Gu Yun was relieved. Shaking his head, he laughed self-deprecatingly: "Am I being too careful?" ”
Dashun's side, it's only been 40 minutes. At this time, it is the first moment of the unitary time, and it is just the time of meal.
Gu Yun took out the pillow from the quilt, removed his disguise, and then paced out of the guest room.
Downstairs, I came to the front hall of the Furong Building, and it was really crowded, and there were basically guests at every table.
However, when Gu Yun ordered, the table had just finished eating. The shopkeeper saw that the sword on his waist was jeweled, obviously not ordinary, and saw that he was a guest of the hotel, so he simply left the table that had just been vacated to him.
Gu Yun was also not polite, sat down, and ordered another pot of wine by the way. This ancient rice wine has a low degree, and even drinking a pot will not affect anything. Besides, if you don't drink alcohol when you go to a restaurant, is it still called a restaurant?
After a while, the food and wine were served. Gu Yun picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dish, first tasted it, and then frowned.
Waving his hand to beckon a shopkeeper, Gu Yun asked, "What's in this dish?" How is it different from other places? ”
"This guest officer, it must be the first time to eat at this restaurant!" The guy smiled and explained: "Most of the dishes in our store are filled with some secret ingredients made by our store, so the dishes taste more delicious than others!" That's one of the features of our store! ”
"Oh? The secret ingredient? Gu Yun finally understood the reason why the business of Furong House was good, and they used ancient natural ingredients to make a freshness seasoning similar to MSG. He frowned just now, because he had eaten the taste of chicken essence that can only be found in modern restaurants. No wonder the business of Furong House is so good, where have these ancient people seen the power of modern MSG and chicken essence, think about the history of MSG that has been popular all over the world, it is not unusual for them to be so enthusiastic about the unique taste of Furong Building.
"Yes, the secret ingredient is made by the store with dozens of selected ingredients, because the process is really complex and the output is scarce, so the store has not expanded its operation." The guy in this shop talked eloquently, and his face was quite proud.
Gu Yun didn't expect that this guy who was recruited casually knew a lot, and he immediately asked with a smile: "What if I have a way to let your Furong Building expand its business?" ”
The guy suddenly realized that he had said too much, and his face changed, "I'm sorry, guest officer, this is not a small person who can call the shots!" ”
"Hehe, nothing!" Gu Yun ignored him anymore and concentrated on dealing with the meal.
