Looking outside the restaurant, I saw that Hu San and Xiao Pinshi were leading a group of people to move tables and chairs and set them up in the open space outside the door. Wind-proof sails were set up around them, and they were very busy. Yuezhu
He and Lao Song's wife were cleaning the tables and chairs, while the five little guys were helping each other here and there, and they were also very busy.
Xue Poye couldn't help but secretly praise Lao Song. Although Lao Song was incapable of running the business, he did a very good job in decorating and other matters. He had just finished speaking in the morning, and when he got up in the afternoon, the layout had been arranged in an orderly manner, and several chefs were there.
Count the dishes and perform their duties.
After sitting down with the two talents, Xue Poye said with a smile: "What do you think, two talents? Why do you say that there is something wrong with Lan Yuexuan?"
A talented man looked around slyly, and then said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, your restaurant does not match the order!" After saying that, he carefully took out something from his arms. Xue Poye took a look, but it was
I heard the talented man say: "Where did the beauty above you go? Why didn't you see it?"
Xue Poye broke out in a cold sweat. These two talented men came here not to eat, but to appreciate the beauty.
Xue Poye wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "You two have been here early. Our store will open tomorrow, and the beauty can come the day after."
The two talented men said "Oh" and asked, "Can the beauty really come?"
Xue Poye had chopped these two boys into pieces in his heart, but the visitors were guests, so he smiled and said: "You can come if you can, don't worry, you two talented men. This beauty can play lyrics and sing songs, and she will definitely be able to make the two of them happy."
If you are satisfied, you two will come back in a few days."
The two talented men looked at each other and smiled. One of the talented men coughed twice and pretended to be serious: "Shopkeeper, you made our trip in vain. How can we count this?"
Xue Poye said with a smile: "Don't worry, you two. I will ask the chef to make some special dishes for you right away. The ice skin, snow skin, and Qinglong Woxue are both good. Even if Lan Yuexuan treats guests, you two will just taste it."
The two talented men seemed dissatisfied and continued: "Is this enough?"
Xue Poye lost his temper. Holy shit, he wanted to blackmail or something. He was playing this trick with you, Grandpa Xue, and he didn’t even polish his moves. When he was about to lose his temper, he saw a talented man with a look of lust on his face and a soft voice.
He continued: "Shopkeeper, I heard that Xiao Cainv is coming to your restaurant tomorrow to entertain us scholars. I don't know if it is true or not?"
Xue Poye didn't know what these two prostitutes wanted to do, so he nodded and said cautiously: "It is true!"
The two talented men looked at each other and smiled again, then saw one talented man take out a piece of silver from his arms and throw it on the table, and said calmly: "Shopkeeper, we have to trouble you with something."
Xue Poye didn't know what kind of medicine these two boys were selling in the gourd. Look, there were only ten taels of silver in the gourd. He calmly said with a smile: "I wonder what your instructions are to these two talented men?"
The talented man said leisurely: "Please accept the money. Tomorrow, Miss Xiao will come here to entertain the scholars. There must be a large number of people. You can arrange the two of us close to Miss Xiao. Make sure there is no mistake. Otherwise, we will recite poems and scold you."
This restaurant makes people afraid to come back."
Damn, he's so vicious.
Xue Poye breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect such a requirement. The closer the position was, the more he could earn ten taels. It seemed that Xiao Cainü's reputation was really not a vegetarian.
Xue Poye nodded repeatedly, then put the money away with confidence, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you two, don't worry, you two!" Xun took a pen and paper and asked: "Can you tell the names of the two talented men, so that I can make arrangements.
"
The two of them seemed very satisfied with Xue Poye's approach. One of them said: "My surname is Li, my given name is Yu Chun, and my courtesy name is Weinan." Xue Poye busily wrote on the paper in a large font.
The other person's surname was He, his given name was Jie, and his given name was Jianren. Xue Poye also wrote it down.
After writing, Xue Poye cut the paper and glued it to two chairs. Then he said: "Tomorrow I will place these two chairs next to Xiao Cainnu, and you two will sit down there. I don't know if you two can sit down."
satisfy?"
The two talented men smiled happily and nodded frequently, praising the shopkeeper for his cleverness and good manners.
In a harmonious atmosphere, the two talented men left happily without eating.
Xue Poye breathed a sigh of relief after seeing off these two prostitutes. He called Lao Song and said: "I'm afraid there are still people coming to the store asking to be near Xiao Cainv. Remember, ten taels of silver a piece within three meters."
For seats, eight taels within four meters and five taels within five meters, so you can’t charge less. Everyone who received the money will write down their names and stick them on the chairs so that they can be arranged.”
Lao Song was surprised and said: "Shopkeeper, you...are you kidding me? You can take cash even while sitting?"
Xue Poye touched his nose and said leisurely: "If there is money to collect, why don't we accept it? Seizing every business opportunity to make money is what we businessmen must have. Don't worry, you don't have to say it, others will naturally take the money
Offer it with both hands. If you give more, we have nothing to say. If you give less, just say that the seat is occupied and ask them to increase the price."
Old Song sighed: "Shopkeeper, with your brains, I'm afraid that in a few years, the entire shop in Hangzhou will be yours."
Xue Poye laughed and said: "If that's the case, I will go to Kyoto to open a store and leave all the stalls here to you."
After talking for a while, Xue Poye also went out to help Xiao Pinshi and others arrange the arrangements.
When Xiao Pinshi saw Xue Poye, he smiled and said, "Brother, where did you go last night? Why didn't you come back?"
Xue Poye responded vaguely and asked Hu San: "Hu San, how is your mother's condition?"
Hu San hurriedly said: "Brother Xue, she is much better. Thank you for saving her life."
Xue Poye smiled and said: "Work hard, and if you do well, you will get more money, so that he can enjoy your blessings during his lifetime, and it means that he did not give birth to you in vain."
Hu San said gratefully: "Brother Xue, don't worry, Hu San will do a good job."
Xue Poye nodded, suddenly thinking of his parents, and a feeling of loneliness and sorrow came to his heart. How are the kind mother and the unsmiling father living now? How is the life of the two old people? He disappeared suddenly, and the two old people were afraid
I was so sad that my eyes were red from crying.
Xue Poye felt slightly better when he thought that the two old men were both teachers and would have pensions to provide for them when they retired, so they were not afraid of suffering without money.
Yuezhu saw Xue Poye looking wrong from the side, so he came over and said softly: "Brother Poye, what's wrong with you?"
Xue Poye wiped a trace of tears that overflowed from his eyes, smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just think of my parents and I feel a little concerned."
Yuezhu said hurriedly: "Where are my uncle and aunt? Let's bring them here so that you won't miss them and they won't worry about you."
Xue Poye sighed and shook his head, "They are far, far away. Maybe... maybe I will never see them again."
Looking to the horizon, the sunset is already red, and the red sun is slowly setting in the west.
It's funny to say that recently, many talented young men came to book a seat. One young man was so wealthy that he actually spent twenty taels of silver to sell a seat in the three-meter area.
In the end, the position was sold for hundreds of taels of silver. Lao Song just stuck out his tongue. He really didn't expect the money to come so easily. He really respected this shopkeeper who was full of tricks like a god.
Everyone worked together, and by dusk, they had roughly arranged the sails to form a large circle in front of the restaurant, all the way to the river in front. There were more than thirty tables in the circle, all of which were rented by Lao Song.
, you need to return it after use.
When work was about to end, Xue Poye asked Lao Song to cook a sumptuous dinner for everyone in the evening, but he excused himself as he had something to do and walked out of the restaurant. Seeing Yue Zhu's worried look, Xue Poye sighed and comforted him.
: "I'm going to talk about cooperation matters. I won't stay up all night."
Yuezhu lowered his head and whispered: "I, I'm waiting for you to come back!"
Xue Poye smiled, nodded and left.
Xue Poye really wanted to discuss cooperation matters, but it was difficult to explain such cooperation matters to Yuezhu.
