Chapter 54 Deyuelou
"Huh..., why is the difference so big?"
After turning a few streets and wandering around the city for more than half an hour, Chen Yi, who was looking around, couldn't help but speak in shock.
Bai Shifeng asked in confusion: "What are your doubts about Brother Chen?"
"After we walked along the way, I saw that although the pedestrians on the street were intact, most of them had patches. But what we saw this time, most of them were dressed in bright clothes, and even more people were wearing silk and satin. Everyone was confused," Chen Yi thought for a while.
Bai Shifeng looked at Chen Yi speechlessly and said, "I think Brother Chen has been used to being a petite tube since he was a child, and he has never been there? We used to walk the shortcut before, and there were almost all farmers who were buying and selling from the countryside. Most of the people you see are poor and poor people. This is the beginning of the real prosperous area of Hangzhou City, so the gap is still very big."
After hearing what he said, Chen Yi suddenly realized, feeling a little embarrassed, thinking that he had generalized it in a matter of fact, thinking that the prosperity of Hangzhou City was not in line with the reality.
In fact, it was not his fault, after all, it was his first time seeing the ancient world.
It’s impossible to draw a conclusion so early in the future, Chen Yi reminded himself in this heart.
The road ahead was relatively quiet. Most of the pedestrians on the road were dressed in bright clothes, riding horses, and sitting in sedan chairs everywhere. Chen Yi even saw many people following servants and maids around him, and that kind of family looked rich.
After walking for nearly half an hour, Chen Yi and his friends arrived at a bustling commercial street with restaurants and teahouses around them, and their destination was also here.
"Brother Chen, look, our restaurant is not bad, right?" Standing at the intersection, Bai Shifeng pointed to a restaurant and said with a smile.
Deyuelou is the one that Bai Shifeng refers to. It is located at the intersection of this bustling section. It is a four-story wooden attic facing the street. It is at noon and there are many diners entering and leaving. It seems that the business is pretty good.
Chen Yi nodded and said, "Not bad."
As I said, Chen Yi is not familiar with the prices here, and he doesn't know if they made a profit by spending 1,000 taels of money on this road.
"You think it's good too. If you want to say that the second junior brother has a good vision, he fell in love with this place at first sight. Now, with the traffic here and his craftsmanship, it's not about making money every day, but it can be said that the business is booming. Let's go in. Brother Chen, you are also the boss here," Bai Shifeng smiled and led the way forward to Deyuelou.
Then he introduced: "The restaurant has four floors, the first floor is the hall, with about forty tables, the second floor is a private room, with twenty-five private rooms, the third and fourth floors are guest rooms, half of the third and half are large-scale shops, the rest are single rooms, and the fourth floor is all separate rooms."
After hearing his introduction, Chen Yi was slightly surprised. There was nothing wrong with other things. However, if a restaurant is opened on such a section of road, there is actually a large shop?
Datongpu is a long row of beds, similar to the kang in the north, which can sleep many people. This kind of thing has become a legend in Chen Yi's memory.
However, considering that this was an ancient environment, he felt relieved. After all, not everyone was willing to live in a single room. Many times, people would just save money and squeeze into others.
"You are here, you are here. Please come in. Please come in. Do you want the younger one to prepare wine and food for you?"
When Chen Yi and the others arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, a waiter in a green hat immediately came up and said with a smile, obviously he knew Bai Shifeng and called him the big boss.
Bai Shifeng pointed at Chen Yi and said with a smile: "This is also a boss. You have to remember that you can't neglect the food in the future. There is no need for food and drinks. We just ate it not long ago. We took the horse down and fed it for a long time. I don't have to worry about the rest."
"Okay, then I won't bother you," the waiter took the horse away.
When he followed Bai Shifeng into the restaurant, Chen Yi asked, "Brother Bai, how many people are there in this restaurant now?"
"There must be nearly thirty people in the hall and the chef. Oh, it's not enough to include those who help wash the bed sheets and quilt covers. These things are all for the women around you. Brother Chen asked what to do?" Bai Shifeng asked after answering.
Chen Yi smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'll just ask."
At this moment, he was thinking that this restaurant also has a share. If it is a little rectification, the business would be better. Not to mention other decorations, services, dishes, etc., just changing the male waiter to a young lady waiter can improve the business a lot, right?
After all, there is no young lady who comes to the eye. If you wear good clothes again...
Of course, Chen Yi was just thinking about it now. There are many issues involved and he had to consider them in advance. Take the simplest question as an example. What if he encounters lustful people when he uses a young lady as a waiter? Once the trouble starts, it will always affect the restaurant business. Moreover, those who don’t know think this is a kiln.
So, nothing is as simple as I think.
Bai Shifeng took Chen Yi into the restaurant, but did not go upstairs to the guest room, but walked through the lobby to the back, where there were actually three separate courtyards behind.
"Brother Chen, don't be surprised. Although our restaurant is only considered medium in Hangzhou, there are still all that should be available. Take this separate courtyard for example. Although it is usually empty, there will always be a few high-end customers who need such a separate place, just in case of emergencies."
As he said that, Bai Shifeng took Chen Yi into one of the courtyards and said, "Brother Chen, you can live here for the next period of time. All the toiletries are complete. You can just ask for a while. You can wash and rest first, and I will come to you later. By the way, do you want me to buy two maids and other things for you?"
"No, no, I've gotten used to being alone during this period," Chen Yi smiled awkwardly, but to be honest, he was still a little moved...
"Haha, then I won't bother you anymore. You can settle down first, let's talk about the others later." Bai Shifeng smiled and left with Wang Jiang.
I'm leaving me alone?
When I was alone, I was not familiar with the place after all, and Chen Yi was very uncomfortable in a strange environment.
The yard is not big, there is a stone table in the yard, there is a willow tree next to the stone table, and a well on the other side. In addition, there is a wooden house and a separate toilet in the corner, there are three rooms in the wooden house, a study on the left bedroom on the right, and a living room in the middle.
Although the sparrow was small and had all the internal organs, Chen Yi walked around the courtyard a little and found that there was really nothing missing here.
On a hot day, after a day of travel, Chen Yi was a little tired, so he simply closed the door of the courtyard and was in a closed private environment. He came to the well and took off all his clothes and drew the cool water to wash up happily.
"Satisfactory~!"
Washing away all fatigue and heat, Chen Yi sighed comfortably, then walked the bird back to the bedroom with his clothes in his arms, and went to the bed, and then he started fighting with his eyelids.
