Chapter 168: Borrowing Money
The first floor of the restaurant is the lobby and scattered seats, and the second floor has private rooms.
Song Anning asked Xiao Er for a private room, and when he opened the curtain from the private room and looked down, he could still see the scene on the first floor.
As soon as Song Yue came in, she was stunned by the decoration and layout of this restaurant.
I saw that in this small restaurant, it turned out to be a landscape pavilion, carved beams and painted buildings, the area of the entire first floor is obviously so large, but there are only about ten tables, and each table is separated by a variety of green plants or grass curtains, forming a more private but not too rigorous space.
The same goes for the second floor.
Near the cloister is a table similar to a card seat, covered by a beaded curtain, and on the left is the box and the private room, each of which is hung with a sign of or Youlan or Chunzhu, and there is a poem inscribed next to the sign, which looks quite literati interesting.
Song Yue said in a low voice: "Is this shop owner stupid?" It's too wasteful of space for them to decorate the layout like this, let's just say that on the first floor, in such a big place, there are only ten tables, what a waste, obviously at least thirty tables can be placed. ”
Since the Song family's big house runs a restaurant, no matter whether the business is good or not, Song Yue has at least heard about it.
So as soon as I came in, I started to think about how I would run my own business.
Song Anning just smiled and didn't talk.
A person like Song Yue, who has relatively little insight and pattern, will probably never be able to understand what a pattern is and what mood is.
Qingzhou is located in the north, very close to the capital, not to mention the big and small officials in the city, there are many literati and ink writers alone.
These people are all known as Yashi, and naturally they don't like noisy ordinary restaurants.
A restaurant like this is exactly what they want.
An ordinary restaurant assumes four people at a table, sells four bowls of noodles, and earns thirty yuan, which may not be enough for a cup of tea in this place.
Song Anning followed Xiao Er to the private room.
When ordering, Song Yue took the initiative to say: "I'll come, I'll come, my family is a restaurant, I'm the best at ordering, Xiao Er, what kind of dishes do you have here?" ”
Xiao Er handed over a menu and said with a smile: "Please take a look at the guest officer." ”
"Huh?"
Song Yue's grandfather was a teacher, so she naturally read books and knew how to read.
But it was the first time I saw someone write down the name of the dish on a piece of paper and ask the customer to order it.
What should I do if I meet a guest who doesn't know how to read?
Song Yue was shocked again.
Song Anning is also thinking about this problem.
After all, although most of the people who come here are literati and elegant guests, not to mention literacy, it is okay to compose poetry, but there are always one or two illiterate people.
Curious, she asked.
Xiao Er said with a smile: "If you don't know how to read, we have our own name of the dish, but we reported the name of the dish, and the guest officer was afraid that he could not hear the quality of the dish from the name of the dish, so he made a menu, and the menu not only wrote the name of the dish, but also drew a picture, a few guest officers may wish to take a look, and you can see what the main ingredients of this dish are from the picture." ”
Song Anning was a little interested.
She took the menu in Song Yue's hand and looked through it carefully.
The more I flipped, the more frightened I became.
I saw that the menu was made of parchment paper pasted on a kind of slightly hard hard paper, and there were only two dishes on each page, with the name of the dish in the front and the appearance of the dish in various colors of paint in the back.
She couldn't help but move.
"Your boss is so ingenious."
The shopkeeper smiled: "That's, the small one is not bragging, our boss is the person I know most about business." ”
Song Anning's eyes blinked.
She suddenly thought of something, and said to the shopkeeper: "I remember, your store was newly opened in the middle of last year?" ”
"Yes." The shopkeeper was full of confidence, "Our boss said that the performance of our store is good, and we are about to open a second store in the city, the address has been chosen, and the dishes over there are different from ours. ”
Song Anning smiled: "Where is the new store?" ”
"Opposite Song's Restaurant on West Street, but it's still early, the store has just been plated, if you want to go, you have to wait a few months, the boss said, it will take time to decorate."
Song Anning and Song Yue were both shocked.
Song's Restaurant on West Street?
Isn't that Song Yue's restaurant?
Song Anning and Song Yue glanced at each other, Song Anning gloated, but Song Yue collapsed her face, and almost ran away on the spot, go back to see what was going on.
Recently, she heard that the shop opposite her restaurant was sold out, but she didn't expect the owner of the shop to be the owner of Qunfang Restaurant.
The shopkeeper didn't notice Song Yue's face.
When the two of them finished ordering, they went out with the menu.
Song Anning walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and said: "The owners of this group of Fang Restaurants are really wonderful people, and I don't know what such wonderful people look like, if I can, I really want to get acquainted." ”
She is also in business at home, but she is not jealous of the other party, just appreciative.
Song Yue is different.
She cleaved at the corner of the table, wishing she could smash it.
When Holly saw it, she couldn't help but squeeze it, "Miss Yue, this table is a good pear fragrant wood, very expensive, it doesn't matter if you cut it off, if our young lady helps you lose money, then it can't be said." ”
Song Yue: "......"
Although she is said to be in the middle of the family, she is also a person who has seen the world, how could she not see that this is a good pear fragrant wood.
But what happened to Pear Aroma?
She picks out, how can she pick out......
Song Yue suddenly realized that something was wrong.
She looked down.
I saw that on the originally smooth and flat desktop, there was indeed a scratch cut by her long nails, just like a beautiful woman who was suddenly scratched on her face, how ugly and ugly it was.
Song Yue was shocked, and hurriedly took a bowl to block it.
"I didn't cut it, don't talk nonsense!"
Holly saw her small movements and pulled her lips disdainfully.
Soon, the dish came up.
Song Anning tasted it, although the taste was not bad, but compared to such a delicate and elegant decoration, the dishes were a little ordinary.
I'm sorry for his name in Qunfanglou.
However, Song Anning didn't mention anything, but after eating, he asked Holly to settle the bill.
When leaving the restaurant, Song Yue followed again.
"Eh, Song Anning, where are you going to go in the afternoon?"
Song Anning raised his eyebrows, "Something?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just, it's just ......"
Song Yue bit her lip, thought about it, and said, "Can you lend me some money?" I don't have any cash in my hands, and I want to go to the rouge shop later, I ......"
Song Anning was straightforward, "I don't have any money." ”
After that, it's time to leave.
Song Yue's eyelids jumped, and she hurriedly stopped her.
"Eh, how come you don't have any money? When you paid for the meal just now, you spent a full ten taels of silver, and I saw that you can spend so much money on a meal, so what's wrong with borrowing me one or two taels of silver? ”
