After getting off the carriage, there were rows of small boats on the shore waiting to take guests to the watchtower.
The three of them jumped into the boat, and the boatman paddled toward the watchtower in the middle of the lake.
Song Qiu glanced at the pavilion standing in the middle of the lake. It was truly marvelous and magnificent. He couldn't help but sigh. The time and manpower consumed to build such a pavilion should not be underestimated.
Just because the entire pavilion is on the lake, it took a lot of work.
For eight taels of silver, it’s worth it to visit such a grand restaurant!
Of course, eight taels of silver is enough for an ordinary farmer's family for a year. You can also imagine how luxurious the life of the rich is.
Song Qiu was very emotional. When he got off the boat and entered the watchtower, he was even more emotional.
It was not dark yet, the lobby was already brightly lit, and there were many guests sitting there.
The watchtower is in a square shape, and even if there are no private rooms in the lobby, the tables are separated from each other, not right next to each other like in ordinary restaurants.
The magnificent decoration, the luxurious ornaments, etc. are all dazzling.
Even the stairs are elegant and luxurious.
There are stairs on the left and right leading to the second floor.
I took out the booking voucher and was led upstairs by the waiter. Once on the second floor, the decoration was completely different.
Song Qiu took a quick glance and saw that there were five boxes in each direction. There was a small plaque on the door of each box with the name of the box on it.
The others were too far away for her to see clearly. As for the two rooms up the stairs, one had a small plaque engraved with Qinfang Garden, and the other had a small plaque engraved with Qinxiang Garden.
It seems that they all start with the character Qin and the character Yuan. The only difference is the character in the middle.
Soon we continued going up and reached the third floor.
There are a total of sixteen private rooms on the third floor, four in each square. The name on the small plaque is the name of Ting Shi Zhai.
There are Tingfengzhai, Tingxuezhai, Tingyuzhai, Tingshuangzhai, etc.
The room they booked is called Tingyunzhai.
As soon as the door is opened, the first thing you see is a carpet spread all over the floor. It is so clean and tidy that you can sleep directly if you just lie down on it. It makes people feel embarrassed to step on it.
When you enter the door, it is like a small hall, just like a reception room, with a few chairs and tables for people to talk and drink tea.
Further forward, there is a huge corridor with beauties leaning on three sides, offering a sweeping view of the scenery outside.
A large round table in the corridor that can accommodate several people is the place to eat.
To the right, a carved round door leads to the inner room.
The inner room by the window is covered with light gauze curtains, and there is a couch by the window. The couch is covered with a velvet blanket for people to take a nap.
Under the east wall is a carved canopy bed, a Babao Pavilion on the side, a dressing mirror, etc.
This is not a dining room, it is clearly a presidential suite where you can eat and stay at the same time.
The three of them almost couldn't look at each other anymore. At least they remembered that the assistant was still here, but they couldn't be rude and embarrassed or make a joke.
So the three of them sat down on the round table in the corridor and listened to the waiter announcing the menu. After ordering, the three of them waited for the waiter to leave.
The three of them looked at each other and moved together.
One lay down on the bed covered with velvet lake blue brocade quilt, the other lay down on the plush soft couch, and the remaining one sat in front of the dressing mirror, looking at the large mirror that could reflect two people at the same time, and couldn't put it down.
"Wow! Mirror! What a beautiful mirror!"
"Oh my God! This bed is so soft!"
"Well, this soft couch is also very comfortable!"
"The carpet on this floor is softer than the one in our attic!"
"How much clothes must be packed in such a big wardrobe! Who is going to have a meal and bring several large boxes of clothes?"
"I don't think this is like a place to eat. It's clearly an inn for accommodation! This exquisite one is even more elegant than the inn we stayed at in Jianping County thanks to Lu Jing."
"This is still the third floor. Don't you think the ones on the fourth and fifth floors are more beautiful?"
"That's right! It's a pity that we can't meet each other. When one day I have endless money, I will rent this place and live there for a few months. I will stay in every box on every floor. It will be enough for me.
Until I don’t want to live here anymore!”
"Oh, Aling, when you have so much money and want to book this place, you have to bring me to live with you!"
"Okay! No problem! We'll all come when the time comes!"
The chattering in the box never stopped.
Until there was a knock on the door.
As if there was a switch, the sound in the box instantly turned off, and the three girls sat back in front of the round table in unison.
"Come in."
The door opened, and seven or eight waiters filed in, all carrying trays. One dish after another was placed on the round table, with bowls, chopsticks, and wine glasses.
When everything was put down, the waiter said with a smile, "Guests, please take your time and enjoy."
Then, the guys left one by one and the door was closed again.
This time, no one will disturb you and you can enjoy your dinner.
Outside the window, it was already dark. The lights on the lake below were shadowy and beautiful. The street scene in the distance was also brightly lit and beautiful.
Facing such beautiful scenery, my appetite has increased several times.
The eight dishes on the table were all delicious and delicious, and the silver bowls, silver chopsticks, and silver wine glasses were even more pleasing to the eye.
That's right, Song Qiu specially ordered a pot of green plum wine.
The three of them raised their glasses and drank together, "To our everlasting friendship! Let's do it!"
It was precisely because of drinking that Song Qiu realized that the eighty taels of silver per box was indeed worth it.
The three of them ate, admired the scenery, and drank until very late. It was cold outside and it was late at night. The three of them didn't want to go back to the inn. Plus, they were a little dizzy after drinking.
Stayed here.
In this way, the benefits of having a bed and a soft couch are revealed.
Aling slept on the soft couch, Song Qiu and Lihua slept on the bed, and the three of them fell asleep quickly after touching the pillows.
Not counting the money spent on meals, eight taels of silver is equivalent to staying in a luxury inn for one night, and no waiter will come to catch you. Late at night, the guest leaves without paying the bill. The building knows that the guest will stay here tonight, so they update
I won't bother you anymore.
After sleeping until dawn, Song Qiu stretched himself out and sat up, feeling refreshed.
"Oh, this trip is really worth it!"
After cleaning up, opening the door and going out, there was a waiter waiting outside. Knowing that they were about to check out and leave, a waiter led them downstairs. The rest and many other waiters entered the box and began to clean up.
In front of the counter on the first floor, Song Qiu listened to the shopkeeper's report, took out the money from his wallet, and then walked out of the watchtower in a carefree manner, got on the boat, returned to the shore, and got on his own carriage.
The expression of physical pain that he had been holding back was revealed.
"Good guy, I paid thirty taels of silver in one night. It's such a luxury!"
In her previous world, she would have spent more than 10,000 yuan in one night! This was several months' wages as a worker!
It was so cool and enjoyable, but when I look back, I feel my heart aches.
Lihua was also speechless, "Isn't the box fee already calculated at eight taels of silver? Why do we have to add five taels of silver if we stay overnight? If I had known better, we should have gone back to the inn to stay last night."
"I spent twenty-five taels, and I still need these five taels? That bed is really warm and comfortable to sleep on, it's not a loss!" Seeing Lihua like this, Song Qiu couldn't help but laugh, and he didn't feel sorry for the money anymore.
If you enjoy it, think about it!
If I lost it, I would really cry to death.
Song Qiuzheng was thinking this. When she returned to the inn, packed her things, and was about to check out and settle the bill, she discovered that her wallet was missing!
