Chapter 90 Alum Tower (seeking for further reading)
"It turns out to be Mr. Fan, disrespectful, disrespectful."
Zhang Fei arched his hand.
If Ma Xiaoyi hadn't said it, he really wouldn't have noticed that Fan Yong was chubby, smiled at everyone he met, and looked even more harmless.
On the contrary, the young Fan Zheng appeared calm, sophisticated and unsmiling.
Fan Zheng cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare. After I am a businessman, how can I dare to think of myself as a young master? Third brother Zhang just calls me Da Lang."
Ma Xiaoyi said: "Third brother, this brother of mine loves to be serious, so you can call him Da Lang or Fan Da!"
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded, "It's okay to be casual. You don't have to be so outspoken."
Fan Zheng added: "Brother Zhang is so famous that my father often mentions him. I hope that I can often learn from Brother Zhang in the future."
"oops!"
Cao Dongdong crossed his arms across his chest and bounced slightly, "I say Fan Da, have you finished speaking? I am almost freezing to death standing here."
Fan Zheng said hurriedly: "Dear guests, please come inside, please come inside."
After entering the gate of the Bailun Building, I looked up and saw that the Bailun Building is composed of five buildings in the east, west, south, north and middle. It is three stories high, with flying bridges and sills.
The interlacing is really magnificent.
Even Zhang Fei couldn't help but be stunned by this design. It really deserves to be the number one restaurant in Tokyo!
In fact, strictly speaking, Baifanlou is no longer a restaurant, but a complex. It also holds many activities, such as auction meetings, and wholesales many goods, such as wine, salt, etc.
It can be said that this alum tower alone made the Northern Song Dynasty proud of other feudal dynasties in terms of business.
Usually in the feudal dynasty, there were many rigid specifications for architecture. In other dynasties, no private person would dare to build a restaurant of this scale, and this was in the capital.
Cao Dongdong and the others, who were regulars, went straight to the east building without Fan Zheng taking him.
Zhang Fei came back for the first time. Since he couldn't be like them, he still had to know some etiquette. He followed Fan Zheng and walked slowly inside. However, his eyes were darting around. From time to time he saw a young lady passing by, and he felt in his heart
All have to ripple.
Li Si on the side, although he is no longer Brother Chu, has never been to such an occasion. He wants to see it, but he is shy. Every time he peeks at a young lady, his face turns as red as a monkey's butt.
Fortunately, Zhang Fei couldn't see it himself and had no time to care about him, otherwise he would have to laugh at him.
"Brother Zhang! Third brother Zhang!"
"ah?"
Zhang Fei suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Fan Zheng, "What did you say?"
Fan Zheng asked: "I wonder if Brother Zhang has any advice?"
He thought Zhang Fei was admiring the Alum Tower, so he asked this question.
But Zhang Fei was looking at the young lady.
"Very good! Very good!" Zhang Fei nodded perfunctorily.
Fan Zheng said: "Brother Zhang gave me some advice in the Ma family, and the Ma family immediately skyrocketed. I hope that Brother Zhang can also give me some inspiration."
Zhang Fei calmed down and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is really amazing. He has brought this Alum Tower to a new level. If you really want to say something..."
Fan Zheng said hurriedly: "Little brother, I am all ears."
Zhang Fei said: "It's culture."
"culture?"
"good!"
Zhang Fei said: "Nowadays, Baifenlou is no longer a simple restaurant. I came here as a guest today. Although I was shocked by everything inside, you have to ask me what my specific impression is. In addition to the grandeur, I also
Can't tell a reason why.
But if you want to pass it on and last for a long time, I think you still need to have your own culture, such as attitude towards doing things and service attitude.
For example, respecting customers is a major feature of Baifanlou, so holding a shopping conference in Baifanlou should also reflect this characteristic.
Therefore, how to blend these complex transactions together to form the characteristics of Baifenlou, perhaps this is what Dalang needs to consider."
After saying these words, Fan Zheng suddenly fell into deep thought. After a while, he suddenly raised his head, his face looked particularly excited, "Thank you, Brother Zhang, for your advice. I have benefited a lot... Zhang...
.Brother Zhang?"
As he was talking, he saw that Zhang Fei was not listening at all, but was staring not far away. He followed Zhang Fei's gaze and saw that Cao Dongdong and the others had found a table in the lobby to sit down, and there were some people sitting next to them.
There were many singing girls sitting or standing. They suddenly understood and hurriedly said: "Brother Zhang, please."
"Ah? Oh, please! Please!"
When I came to the edge, I heard Cao Dongdong bragging.
"The little coach also wants to threaten my yamen, but he really doesn't know how high the sky is. However, my yamen is upright and will not use those despicable tricks like some people. If he has the ability, let's argue in court."
This was the first time Cao Dongdong appeared in Baifanlou after the lawsuit, and he immediately shined in the audience.
"I really didn't expect that Yameni would go to court with Teacher Na Lin. For this courage, we sisters would like to give Yameni a drink."
Several geishas raised their glasses to Cao Dongdong.
"Okay, okay!"
Cao Dongdong hurriedly raised a glass to greet him.
"Third brother, you are here!"
Ma Xiaoyi saw Zhang Fei coming and quickly moved his buttocks, "Third brother, sit here."
Why are Xiaoma so ignorant today? Come here, why should I sit next to you? Zhang Fei, who was about to sit next to a woman, suddenly became depressed.
But before Zhang Fei could sit down, Cao Dongdong stood up, put a hand on his shoulder, and said to the geishas: "Dear sisters, this is Zhang Sanlang who helped me with the lawsuit."
"Be polite! Be polite!"
Zhang Fei suppressed the turmoil in his heart, cupped his hands towards the singing girls, and glanced up and down. Although he was not as good as Xu Zhiqian, he couldn't help but feel burning in his stomach, and it was quite exciting to watch.
"It turns out that you are the famous Erbi Zhang Sanlang! Disrespect, disrespect."
"Where! Where!"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "If you ladies have any disputes in the future, you can come to me at Fan's Bookstore and I will give you a 30% discount."
"I hope we never go looking for Saburo." An older geisha, about twenty years old, said with a smile.
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, then said humbly: "That's true."
The other geishas all giggled.
After sitting down, Cao Dongdong started to brag again. Gradually, some young men from the next table also came over with the singing girls from that table.
Although there are more and more people, the atmosphere is getting thicker and thicker.
but......!
Zhang Fei's interest became increasingly low.
The lobby of the east building is very large, and what is placed inside is not just small round tables, but large long tables. There are wine and dishes on the table, as well as pens, inks, paper, inkstones, pianos, flutes and other musical instruments.
Zhang Fei, who was in a commotion, had no intention of bragging to Cao Dongdong. He had been secretly observing to see how the singing was performed in this era, but he found that every table was either just polite or chatting.
, if you are writing lyrics, it is not like the nightclubs of later generations, where hormones are overflowing, the air is filled with alcohol, and the black shadows of dirty hands are flying on the wall.
Even Cao Dongdong and the others behaved well and didn't even hug him.
Gradually, there were more and more guests, and Cao Dongdong was almost good at playing. He saw Zhang Fei sitting there alone, and he dismissed the singing prostitutes, and then said to Zhang Fei: "Zhang San, why don't you say anything?
Aren’t you quite capable of speaking?”
"Why are they all reciting poems and playing the piano?" Zhang Fei couldn't help but ask.
Fu Shichun said: "Isn't this normal?"
"normal?"
Zhang Fei said angrily: "What's normal? I think it's almost serious."
As soon as he heard the serious news, Ma Xiaoyi immediately reacted, "Is it possible that Third Brother likes Piaoxianglou?"
Zhang Fei asked: "Is there any difference between Piaoxiang Tower and Alumen Tower?"
Ma Xiaoyi said: "There are many prostitutes there."
It turns out that there is a big difference between geishas and prostitutes. Geishas are more entertainers, and they are more prostitute than those entertainers. They use lyrics and music to win the favor of customers, not their bodies.
Because the class they serve is relatively high. Those scholar-officials have never seen any stunning women. They have many wives and concubines at home, and they are too busy at night. So there is no need to come here to do push-ups. They are more pursuing spiritual communication.
On this basis, it is possible for them to pursue physical communication.
Poems and songs are what they love.
Why Liu Sanbian was able to get along well in the brothel was not because he was handsome, but because his lyrics were very popular, and the singing girls naturally tried to please him in every possible way.
It is no exaggeration to say that a good song can make a geisha become famous instantly.
Zhang Fei slapped his thigh and said, "Who the hell asked me to come to Baifan Tower?"
Cao Dongdong immediately pointed at Ma Xiaoyi and said: "Little horse."
Ma Xiaoyi said depressedly: "I thought the third brother was a scholar and might like it here more."
Zhang Fei immediately yelled angrily: "I am a person with an Erbi... reading a shitty book! That's stupid!"
"...!"
Ma Xiaoyi looked aggrieved. It turned out that the third brother had taken a vulgar route!
Fu Shichun looked at Zhang Fei's anxious face and wondered: "Zhang San, I heard from the office that you haven't been hired yet?"
Zhang Fei said angrily: "I'm just planning to come here to have a personal experience! How can I do it here? Reciting poems to view the peaks, and going into caves against each other are not my strengths."
Cao Dongdong hurriedly comforted him: "Okay, okay, after the sale, we will go to Piaoxiang Building."
Zhang Fei said depressedly: "How long will it take? Everyone is tired from playing, so there is no interest. I just have to hurry up and go tomorrow."
Fu Shichun wondered: "Zhang San, are you really unreasonable?"
"Uh... Sitting like this is not an option. So when does the auction start?"
"It will take at least an hour. It's not dark yet!"
"We can't just sit still!"
"What do you want to play?" Cao Dongdong asked.
"Let's roll the dice!"
Zhang Fei said thoughtfully: "If you get high, maybe the situation will improve."
