Chapter 1566 Distinguished Guest
Dongchang Mansion is located in Shandong Province and sits on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. It is one of the important transportation hubs of the Grand Canal. It is surrounded by a huge lake called Dongchang Lake outside the city. Also known as Phoenix Lake and Rouge Lake, it is similar in size to the West Lake in Hangzhou. It is known as "West Lake in the south and Dongchang in the north".
Dongchang Prefecture is backed by the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and water transportation is particularly developed. The Grand Canal has brought prosperity to Dongchang Prefecture for hundreds of years.
There is a restaurant on the bank of Dongchang Lake that integrates accommodation and dining, called Phoenix Tower. It is in an excellent location, simple and elegant, noble and luxurious.
“Hey, people scolded Emperor Sui Yang for being overjoyed in his achievements, resorting to militarism, and making the people miserable, but we people in Dongchang Prefecture didn’t do that. We still have to thank Emperor Sui Yang. If Emperor Sui Yang hadn’t opened the Grand Canal, We are still eating dirt in the crop fields. How can we have the good life we have today? Look at this big river Even in winter, there is an endless stream of ships. Water transport ships and business ships will all take a rest in Dongchang Mansion. During this rest, they are not allowed to stay or eat, and they are not allowed to provide daily necessities. Our Phoenix Tower is occupied. After seeing the light of Emperor Sui Yang, you are rich and noble, and then go and offer three sticks of incense to Emperor Sui Yang.”
The shopkeeper of Phoenix Tower was calculating the day's income while happily giving instructions to the waiters beside him.
"Okay, shopkeeper, let's go now." Fugui, the young man, responded and went to the back to offer incense to the statue of Emperor Sui Yang.
"Shopkeeper, look at how happy you are, have you made money again today?" the boy asked with a smile after he came back from offering incense.
The young boy Fugui is related to the shopkeeper, and they are usually close to each other and not so restrained.
"Hey, I made a little profit, but it can't be compared with the day before yesterday. The day before yesterday, we passed by the highway from Beijing and stayed in our restaurant for a night. It was just an ingot of gold ingots, which covered the whole floor. We also paid for it during the meal. Just clear the place, the scene is really unforgettable. You said, how many dignitaries and dignitaries have lived in our Phoenix Tower, but they are nothing compared to the father-in-law who came from other people's palaces."
< br>
The shopkeeper was still deeply impressed when he thought about the scene the day before yesterday, and of course he was even more impressed by the ingot of gold ingot.
“No, you said that our tables and chairs are wiped clean every day, but people still dislike it, so they wiped them again before eating. Also, the master chef in the kitchen has been scolded several times. Again, I said my father-in-law has a light taste and must cook Huaiyang cuisine. ." The young man Fugui was also very impressed, "That's really noble. Hehe, he was generous, and even gave me a silver bean as a reward."
"I wish I had such distinguished guests every day. Okay." The little guy Fugui said with a smile.
"I want to eat shit. If such a good thing happens once a year, I should burn incense and worship Buddha." The shopkeeper glared at him, "Stop being lazy, hurry up and help, don't rely on me It’s your cousin who’s doing something special.”< br>
"I do the most work." The young boy Fugui said this with confidence. After saying this, he turned around and went to work. But as soon as he turned around, he saw a group of people coming outside the door, heading towards the restaurant. It was grand. Even bigger than the day before yesterday.
"Shopkeeper, should I go burn incense again?" Fugui, the young man, swallowed his saliva and said to the shopkeeper.
“We just finished burning, what else can we burn?” The shopkeeper was checking the account book. After hearing what the young man Fugui said, he couldn’t help but open his mouth to retaliate. The retort stopped abruptly in the middle. He also saw a group of people entering the door. Noble person.
On the lake outside the door, an extremely luxurious double-decker boat was docked, and five large boats were docked slowly in a protective manner.
A large ship has docked first, and people are getting off the ship in an endless stream. Those who got off earlier have already reached the door of the restaurant.
More than a dozen burly men in fine attire carry waist knives with their scabbards decorated with brass tiger head patterns. The scabbards are very thick and long, and it looks like they are heavy machetes. The system of Dongchang Prefecture Health Center The waist knife is much heavier and cannot be wielded without the strength of an arm. However, these sturdy men seem to be as if they are nothing. They are scattered and undisturbed when walking. Their eyes are looking around. It can be seen that they are well-trained and are by no means just waiting for others. Guard.
It seemed that they were more aggressive than the casual guards that my father-in-law had the day before yesterday. Of course, my father-in-law only brought twenty guards to live in the Phoenix Tower the day before yesterday. The rest of the guards were staying in an inn a hundred or ten meters away. The inn there was much cheaper. .
More than a dozen sturdy men were surrounding a girl of about 17 or 18 years old. The girl was dressed in a beautiful dress and a fox fur cloak. She was delicate, beautiful and capable, followed by a dozen old ladies. And the little girl.
"Invite your distinguished guests inside. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I hope you'll forgive me." Two shop assistants from Fenghuang Tower had already come forward to say hello.
"The environment is not bad." The girl in the fox fur cloak came in, looked at it twice, and nodded slightly.
“That’s right, our Phoenix Tower is one of the best in Dongchang Mansion.” The store clerk said proudly.
"Our lady likes to be quiet. Today and tomorrow, we will cover your store." The girl in the fox fur cloak took out a gold ingot from her sleeve and threw it to the store clerk, and then ordered, "Please tell me in the store The guests who have already checked in are very kind to us. Their expenses will be borne by us, and we are willing to pay double the compensation to ask them to move to a hotel.”
Huh? !
Book the entire restaurant? !
The day before yesterday, my father-in-law only booked one floor. Today’s distinguished guests actually want to book the entire restaurant for two days? !
This ingot of gold ingot is very heavy. It is much bigger than the ingot that my father-in-law gave me the day before yesterday.
etc?
Our lady? !
Ah, such a noble master is just a girl? !
For a time, the store clerk and shopkeeper seemed to have been struck by several lightning strikes one after another, and they were shocked one after another.
Money can make the world go round.
With gold clearing the way, the shopkeeper fully complied with Fox Fur Girl's request for booking and clearing the place, with double compensation, and the guests in the store didn't have much objection. Anyway, there are several restaurants nearby where you can stay.
"Wang Xiaoer, please greet your people. It's enough to leave about ten of you on the first floor to protect you secretly. The security here is very tight. The others will be arranged to stay in the restaurant next door. The lady likes peace and quiet."
"Mama Liu, please bring someone to wipe the tables and chairs with hot water several times. Use the tableware we brought with us."
"Xiao Hong, go and clean the Emperor's room carefully. After sweeping it several times, the beds and bedding have been replaced with the ones we brought. Miss is afraid of the cold. Remember to heat up the room and ventilate it, so as not to be stuffy."
"Wang Ma, go and clean the kitchen. I took over and made some light and delicious side dishes that the young lady likes, as well as nourishing soup. The bumpy journey made the young lady hungry again, so you should be careful when cooking."
The girl in the fox fur cloak methodically directed the accompanying guards, old ladies and maids, making all arrangements.
The shopkeeper and the waiter were stunned.
This is because they dislike us. The beds and bedding are replaced by their own, as are the tableware. The kitchen has also been taken over. Even the cooks and apprentices in the restaurant are not used. They have their own
This is What a noble master! Compared with them, the father-in-law from the Heavenly Palace pales in comparison.
"Sister Qin'er, the young lady is getting off the boat." A little girl trotted over and said.
"Ah, you watch here, I will pick up the young lady. The young lady is heavy, so I don't worry about others." Qin'er, a girl in fox fur, picked up her skirt and ran out. (End of this chapter)
