After bidding farewell to the Xiong brothers, Daxing Inn has gradually become stable. The bench can do a good job in the kitchen, from cooking to arranging side dishes. Even when it is busy, it can be done without any trouble.
Seeing this, Song Qiu could let go with confidence.
So, on October 11th, a carriage took Aling and Lihua to turn around and rush back to Zhangzhen.
Seeing that Dongyue is not far away, there are still two inns to be opened. It will take more time to see them enter a stable period than the two inns in Dajiang Daxing.
Time was tight, so the three of them didn't waste much time on the way. They got up early and started on their way, and rested for the night after dark.
Finally, three days later, we rushed back to Zhangzhen.
The inn in Yushugou has just been completed, and the craftsmen have just gone to Luofengpo to start construction.
It took two days to arrange the tables, benches, beds and furniture of the Yushugou Inn, and purchase the pots and pans that needed to be purchased.
On the seventeenth day, the red silk signboard with the five words "Yushugou Inn" engraved on it was torn off and the hotel officially opened.
Song Quanyou was in charge, and Hu was the assistant. Song Da was the shopkeeper and accountant, and Song Er was the waiter.
Mr. Qi set up a thick incense stick, and the two of them were in charge of the tea shed.
Yu Guangliang and six other people also helped here before the Luofengpo Inn opened, and they were also skilled in advance.
There is nothing wrong with Song Quanyou's cooking skills. In addition to Song Ji's unique dishes, Song Quanyou's specialty dishes, Song Qiu also asked him to add them to the menu.
Therefore, Song Qiu only stared at the kitchen for one day, then he was completely relieved, and sat down in the lobby the next day.
He also saw that the Song brothers had no problem greeting the guests, and that Song Da had no problem keeping accounts and calculating the accounts, so he felt relieved and went to the tea shed to keep an eye on them for two more days.
Seeing that the six of them were well organized, skilled and stable, Song Qiu stopped watching them every day and had to let go and see how they were doing.
And the Luofengpo Inn has not been built yet, so what are you doing these days?
Song Qiu and Aling Lihua thought about it and decided to go have some fun!
This time I went out, I was either on the road or busy opening an inn, and I haven’t had a lot of fun yet!
Anyway, we arrived in Lizhou Prefecture. It would be a good idea to buy some good things from Lizhou Prefecture to take home to our family or something.
What is Lizhou Prefecture famous for? What are its characteristics?
When I asked about it, oh, so many!
What cloud tea, red inkstone, lacquerware, smoke and brocade, I can’t even count!
Just buy whatever you can take home.
The three of them went crazy and spent a few days on a trip to Lizhou Fucheng, where they bought several pieces of Luojin cigarettes and a lot of Yunwu tea.
Song Qiu also spent two hundred taels of silver to buy a red inkstone, which he planned to take back to his eldest brother Song Wenzhi.
It’s really not fun to go shopping with best friends.
Buy, buy, buy, it’s really hard to stop the car.
Song Qiu spent hundreds of taels of silver in a row before he finally regained his consciousness and quickly grabbed the hand that was still reaching out to chop it into pieces.
He took a deep breath and said: "No, we can't buy any more. Let's go have a good meal tonight and go back to Zhangzhen early tomorrow morning!"
If she stays any longer, she will have to use up all the money she has.
Earning money takes time, but spending money is free. If you really buy it, you will be bankrupt in less than a day.
Al-Ling still had some unfinished thoughts, but when he was blown by the cold wind, he woke up instantly.
All the money she had saved with her grandma was brought out this time. This time, there was nothing left. Not only was there no money left, she became a debtor. She borrowed a hundred taels from Sister Aqiu and bought it all.
Woolen cloth!
Really bought it.
Lihua was also on the verge of tears. She was so excited that she let herself go. She bought all the fifty taels of silver her father brought out for her, and she also borrowed Aqiu's fifty taels!
The two of them were blown by the cold wind, and when they came back to their senses, they were both a little bitter, "Aqiu/Sister Aqiu, eat something delicious, you treat me!"
Song Qiu pursed his lips and became happy, "Okay!"
When it comes to the prosperity of Lizhou Prefecture, it is even better than Jingzhou Prefecture. No wonder the three girls were dazzled by the shopping.
It's so prosperous and the food is unparalleled.
If you really want to eat it one by one, you won't be able to eat it for a month.
It’s a rare occasion to come here, and if you want to eat, it must be the most famous one, so it’s not a worthwhile trip.
The most famous restaurant in Lizhou Prefecture is Wangfeng Tower, which has five floors and sits above a lake. To eat in, you have to take a boat.
This Wangfeng Tower is not something ordinary people can afford.
It's the lobby on the first floor. Ordering any dish costs no less than ten taels of silver.
And going up to the first floor, it becomes even more interesting.
I heard that there are a total of twenty private rooms on the second floor. Not to mention the food, the money for the private rooms alone costs five taels.
There are a total of sixteen private rooms on the third floor, and the price of the private rooms is eight taels.
There are only twelve private rooms on the fourth floor, and the money in the private rooms is fifteen taels.
The fifth floor is even more impressive. There are only eight private rooms, and the price of the private rooms is thirty taels.
I heard that the private rooms on each floor are decorated with splendor and splendor, unlike the human world, and the higher you go up, the more exquisite they become.
And why is one floor more expensive than the other? Naturally, the higher you go, the more scenery you can see.
Take the top five floors as an example. When you eat there, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Lizhou Prefecture. Looking down, you can see the sparkling lake view. The lake is lined with lanterns, and the lights are reflected on the lake.
, so beautiful.
Looking from a distance, you can see red bricks and green tiles, pavilions and eaves, carved beams and painted buildings, bright lights, and prosperity everywhere.
Not only eating, but also enjoying the scenery, the enjoyment is really worth spending a lot of money.
Therefore, if you want to go to Wangfeng Tower to eat, you usually choose to eat at night, as the scenery is better at night.
Of course, there is also one at noon. After all, the status of the Wangfeng Tower lies there, and dignitaries and dignitaries will choose this place to treat guests to dinner, drink and talk.
The daily business in this Wangfeng Building is extremely hot, the seats are full of guests, and it is impossible to book the private rooms upstairs without booking them in advance.
Song Qiu and the others found out about it on the first day they arrived, so they came to make a reservation as soon as possible, but they could only book a private room on the third floor three days later.
Today happens to be the day to make a reservation.
The three of them took the things they bought while shopping back to the inn where they were staying. They took a short rest and tidied up. After seeing that it was getting late, they headed to the watchtower.
It was almost dusk now, and the only main street leading to the watchtower was already crowded with people, including horse-drawn carriages and horse-drawn carriages.
Song Qiu and the others arrived early, but as soon as they entered this street, it was blocked. It took more than a quarter of an hour before it slowly became smoother.
There is a specially built carriage and horse shed in Wangfeng Building by the lake. There are waiters who are responsible for receiving and guarding the carriages and horses here.
As soon as the carriage comes up and the guests get off the carriage, a waiter will come up and guide the coachman to the designated location. Then the coachman will be called into a special room to drink tea and wait.
But when it was Song Qiu's turn to drive the carriage, the man who came up was stunned. Female coachman? She didn't look like it?
He was hesitating whether to lead the female coachman to the stable, but the female coachman had already given him the driver's seat, signaled him to drive the carriage away, and then she and the other two girls were waiting to take the boat.
.
The waiter secretly wondered, what a strange thing, a customer driving a carriage by himself?
