Chapter 635 How does Zhuangyuan Building come back to life? (2 in 1)(1/2)
Although the top scholar building after the imperial examination has experienced a brief burst of popularity, its business is not as good as before. It can be called a depression. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a waste of people.
Although the shopkeeper had already exchanged the plaque back to Wuhua Building, no one came, and the usual talented and beautiful young men didn't know what was wrong? It seemed as if I had forgotten that there was such a place.
In the first few days, the waiter stood at the door to attract customers, but after seeing that the results were minimal, he also stopped dreaming of getting rich and leaned on the door frame and fell asleep.
At the counter, the accountant was reporting the account with the shopkeeper, but was actually telling his concerns by reporting the account.
"Shopkeeper, there is no business for half a month. If this continues, we may be replaced."
What he said was not closing the door, but changing it.
That's right, Wuhualou is an industry set up by the emperor privately. People here use business to help the emperor collect information. Profit is not the first purpose.
Because of this, the situation is even more urgent. A place that collects intelligence can gain the advantage of people coming and going, but now it is better, no one is coming, so how can we collect intelligence?
The shopkeeper was also frowning. In his thoughts, he glanced at the copper coin worshipped behind the counter from the corner of his eyes. He felt aroused in his heart. It was said that the little princess was the little god of wealth in Chang'an. If she worshipped the copper coin she gave from the God of Wealth in the money bag, she would definitely have a prosperous business.
It seems that I have forgotten to burn incense and worship in recent days. It is a mistake. Although my restaurant does not aim for profit, popularity is inseparable from profit.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper quickly walked towards the back house.
"Shopkeeper, haven't finished reporting the account yet? What are you doing?" the accountant shouted.
A moment later, the restaurant shopkeeper came out with a handful of incense and candles, and respectfully burned incense and worshiped the copper coin.
The accountant couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "Shopkeeper, aren't you asking for fish in Yuanmu? It's time now. You should think about the idea of summoning a business. What's the use of worshiping this dead object?"
"Don't talk nonsense, this is a treasure given by the little princess, but it is blessed by the God of Wealth." The shopkeeper scolded.
"What God of Wealth is just a legend of the people. If it is really useful, our business would have been good long ago.
And to say something disrespectful, our restaurant business is in a downturn. Half the reason is that His Royal Highness, this princess, fought here twice, almost demolished the restaurant, and finally scared away the guests of the Zhuangyuan Building..."
"Enough, how can you argue with Your Highness the Little Princess?
Either you follow me to worship, or you can settle your accounts properly, so talkative."
...Okay, I'd better settle the accounts, I shouldn't provoke you. If you are replaced in a few days, don't blame me. I can settle the accounts wherever I go.
"How did this top scholar building be changed back to Wuhua Building? It's so unlucky. We came for the top scholar's sign." Several brothers walked slowly in front of the top scholar building, Cui Hao pointed to the sign and said.
The child at the door was immediately woken up and glanced at the person who was talking casually.
When he saw the small figure, he almost fell down and immediately woke up from his confusion. Then he rolled and crawled into the restaurant, closed the door of the restaurant as fast as possible, and latched the door from the inside.
This scene made the Du family and the group stunned. What was going on?
"Little junior sister, didn't you say that this is your own business?
The waiter seemed to have deliberately closed the door and prevented us from entering. Is there a restaurant that is so unwelcome to his family?" Cui Hao asked.
Everyone looked back at Xiao Xuanxuan.
Xiao Xuanxuan shook her head in wonder, I wonder, could it be that she had changed her boss?
The shopkeeper who was praying devoutly heard the movement and scolded the waiter dissatisfiedly: "What's going on? Why are you closing the door and not doing business?"
The waiter covered his chest with one hand and pointed his other hand outside the door, lowering his voice and stuttering: "She, she... is here again..."
"Who is here to scare you so much? So unreliable, speak well!"
"The little princess who demolished the house, she came with a group of people..."
"What?
Hahahaha, OK, it worked. I just prayed a few times and then I looked forward to the little God of Wealth. This is the God of Wealth that appeared...
No, your soul is so weak. The little princess is a distinguished guest. The little god of wealth in Chang'an cannot even invite him. Why did you get outside the gate? I'll cut you off!
Open the door quickly to welcome guests and inform the kitchen to make a table of best dishes to entertain."
After scolding the waiter, the shopkeeper trotted over to open the door to welcome the guests.
Several people outside the door looked at each other for a while, and Di Renjie suggested, "How about we change our family."
The few people turned around and were about to leave, and the shopkeeper came out, "Don't leave, don't leave, the little princess and the young masters are here. The shop is looking forward to it day and night, and it's all for you to come. Come in and invite me. I have asked someone to prepare the best wine and food."
Um???
The brothers looked at each other again, what's the point?
Chang Baicao whispered: "When I came just now, I closed the door and didn't welcome me. Now, after a while, I said I was eagerly looking forward to it. Could it be a fraud?
You guys have prepared sweat medicine inside, just wait for us to come and apply medicine?"
Ga! The shopkeeper's smile suddenly froze on his face. Where do you start?
"You guys, don't get me wrong. It's the waiter who is ignorant and thinks you're still here to fight, so he closed the door and neglected it. The young man has already scolded him.
This is my own business, so everyone must not think too much..." The shopkeeper was almost crying. If the group of God of Wealth left, they would have to fry the waiter when they went back.
Di Renjie walked out and said, "Second, you have heard too much about Water Margin. Don't be suspicious. We are here for this restaurant today. Let's go in and take a look."
The shopkeeper welcomed everyone in with great gratitude. This time, the few of them did not go to the second floor, but directly asked for a big round table in the lobby on the first floor and sat down.
Looking around, there was a dilapidated scene, and even a layer of dust fell on the tables in the corner, which showed that there was no business for many days.
"Shopkeeper, come here and we have something to ask you." Cui Hao waved to the shopkeeper.
The restaurant shopkeeper ran over with a flattering look on his face, "What are you asking for?"
Xiao Xuanxuan curled her lips and said, "It's clear that you have a bitter face, so you don't have to hide your predicament anymore. You forcefully smile and show us how ugly you look. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat for a while."
Forehead……
The shopkeeper felt that he was shot in the knee. The little princess's mouth was so cruel that she would not save any face. After all, I was handsome and elegant when I was young. When I was old, I was called ugly. It was so damaging to people.
When his eyes rolled, the shopkeeper's plan came to mind, so he simply used the plan and cried and begged: "The little princess has a clear eye. If you don't come to save this restaurant, the young man will be swept out of the house.
We diligently offer you the bronze coins of the God of Wealth you rewarded all day long, just hoping that you, the little God of Wealth, will give you a clear road. Restaurants are our own property. If they are thrown into the hands of a small person, I am afraid, I am afraid..."
"Little junior sister, the shopkeeper is crying so pitifully, it's so sympathetic, so you can help him." Chang Baicao couldn't help but say.
"Yes, junior sister..." Han Yueming said with help.
Di Renjie smiled but said nothing, Cui Hao asked in confusion: "It turns out that this restaurant is the Du family's property? I studied with my master's wife for a year in the Chamber of Commerce, why didn't I know this place?
Which shopkeeper are you?”
Ga! The crying of the shopkeeper of Wuhua Building stopped abruptly and looked at Cui Hao with a resentful face. I just started to burn the atmosphere, aren't you shattering the situation?
"What? Is it possible that you are directly under the second shopkeeper? Or the big shopkeeper?" Cui Hao asked afterwards.
What is the big shopkeeper, the second shopkeeper? I am not a member of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce at all, okay? How can I answer you this question?
In desperation, he could only look at Xiao Xuanxuan. He was directly under the Baiqisi Intelligence Agency. How dare he leak this?
Xiao Xuanxuan smiled and waved her hand and said, "Senior Brother Third, please stop asking him. He dare not say that this is the royal family's property."
"Oh, junior sister, you laughed, you finally laughed! Since you came back to now, you finally laughed.
Senior Brother Third, please ask again quickly. If you don’t do it well, you can make the junior sister laugh for a while.” Chang Baicao said in surprise.
Puff... The restaurant shopkeeper almost vomited blood. What are you saying? After making trouble for a long time, I treated me as the little princess’s pistachio?
But, I... forget it, for the sake of the little princess, I admit that I am willing.
Di Renjie grabbed Cui Hao and spoke to the restaurant shopkeeper: "In addition to coming to have a banquet to celebrate today, we just heard that your business here is not good, so we are specializing in helping you, especially my junior sister."
"Really? That's great. Thank you all the young masters. Thank you for your concern. I wonder if there is any good idea to bring this restaurant back to life?"
Everyone looked at Xiao Xuanxuan.
Xiao Xuanxuan glanced around strangely, spread her hands and said, "You all see what I do? I have to treat it with food.
As for doing business, I don’t care about it for the time being, so you can’t focus on your thoughts and don’t worry about me.”
"Your Highness, everyone knows that you are the little god of wealth in Chang'an. When it comes to doing business, you may not benefit from any small idea. You must not let go!" The shopkeeper cried and begged.
Han Yueming whispered: "Shopkeeper, hurry up and serve delicious food. Youdao is that you eat people with short mouths. How can a junior sister eat your delicious food for free?"
"Yes, yes, yes, thank you for reminding me that I will go to serve the food myself." The shopkeeper ran to the kitchen.
Xiao Xuanxuan gave Han Yueming a blank look, "Senior Brother Third, do you dare to deliberately cheat me?"
"No, why is this a pitfall? It is clearly a time-honored opportunity to show your face to you, junior sister." Han Yueming quickly explained.
"You're welcome, don't let me. I know that my talent is not good at learning. I'll see my third senior brother showing my face."
Me, I... Han Yueming scratched her head, and she studied medicine and academic research intently. The least she is proficient in is doing business.
Everyone laughed, and Di Renjie helped to help and said, "Before I came here, I thought of an idea. Since the junior sister should not be tired today, then try my method.
If my thing doesn’t work, it’s not too late for the junior sister to take action.”
"I admire you, Senior Brother is worthy of being Senior Brother. I won't tell you what you think. Just you speak ingeniously, it's hard to beat me..." Han Yueming bowed and praised.
Chang Baicao pulled Han Yueming and reminded: "Second Brother, you can't speak, don't say anything. If you say it wrong later, the younger sister is afraid that you will drug you."
Cold Moon Bright:...
"The food is here, the chef has made six special dishes, and has specially prepared four snacks for him..." The shopkeeper brought the child to serve the dishes.
Di Renjie grabbed the shopkeeper and asked, "Do you remember a debate we had in the top scholar building?"
