Chapter 175 [Spring in the West Lake Scenic Building]
The boss of Hu Ji Decoration Shop met Xue Poye in the private room of a teahouse.
The elegant room is very quiet. Ancient people originally valued tranquility, elegance and concentration when drinking tea. Therefore, in this high-end teahouse, there is no laughter like ordinary teahouses. There is only a small stove to brew tea, and the fragrance of tea is elegant.
When the two met, they immediately recognized each other. Xue Poye clearly remembered that when he took over Lan Yuexuan, Boss Hu was the one who came to collect debts on a horse. He even ridiculed Old Song, saying that Old Song didn't care.
He was recommended because of previous suspicions, and it seemed that he was really dedicated to Xue Poye.
Boss Hu was very surprised. Not long ago, Xue Poye just took over a Lan Yuexuan that was about to close down. In a short period of time, he actually invited himself here to discuss the decoration of the new building. Moreover, Boss Hu had already learned about it from Lao Song.
, those are two very impressive tall buildings on the edge of the West Lake, so I admire Xue Poye very much in my heart, and his voice is quite humble: "Shopkeeper Xue entrusted this matter to me. I, Old Hu, will definitely do it without saying a word."
Decorate the restaurant beautifully."
Xue Poye was sipping tea, and was very indifferent to Boss Hu's statement. He said leisurely: "Boss Hu said this, and Xue felt relieved. Boss Hu's decoration skills are famous throughout Hangzhou.
If you take action, you will definitely live up to my expectations."
"Shopkeeper Xue is so grateful." Although he is a businessman, but he has been baptized by the strong literary style of Hangzhou, Boss Hu is somewhat polite in his words: "To be honest with shopkeeper Xue, I also built the Lu family's Huiyuan Pavilion. Many people still
You're still praising me." He lowered his voice and leaned closer, laughing softly: "But don't worry, Shopkeeper Xue, since Tiger has taken action, he will definitely make your restaurant better than his."
Xue Poye heard the meaning of his words, and he vaguely felt that he was going to compete with the Lu family. From this point of view, in the eyes of outsiders, after the restaurant opened, it would obviously be against the Lu family.
The Lu family must be aware of this.
"Thank you, Boss Hu, for your kindness." Xue Poye smiled and changed the topic: "But inviting Boss Hu here today not only requires Boss Hu to take action, but also has some other discussions."
Lao Song took the initiative to fill the two cups with tea, and then continued to sit aside and listen to the guests.
Boss Hu was waiting for Xue Poye to speak. Xue Poye looked at Boss Hu and said with a smile: "I want Boss Hu to make an attempt, a brand new attempt."
"Try?" Boss Hu was at a loss, and Lao Song on the side was also at a loss.
"Boss Hu has renovated many restaurants, so he must have rich experience, but Xue needs a new layout this time. In other words, Xue opened two new restaurants this time, but the internal layout cannot be the same as common sense.
The restaurant needs to be remodeled, with a new layout that no one has seen before. Well... it would be incorrect to say that it has never been seen before. What I mean is that the interior of the restaurant will give everyone a refreshing feeling.
." Although Xue Poye tried his best to suppress his emotions, he was still a little excited. In his consciousness and knowledge, there is still no such restaurant pattern in his mind.
Boss Hu and Lao Song still looked confused. After a while, Boss Hu asked cautiously: "Shopkeeper Xue is... what did you say?"
Xue Poye gave a bitter smile, thought for a while, and said: "To put it bluntly, I want to turn the inside of the restaurant into a garden. Well, a garden is not appropriate. What I mean is that there are mountains, water, and water in the restaurant.
There are flowers and grass, but there are no tables, chairs or benches. After entering, you will feel like you are in a paradise in the mountains, rivers and autumn forests. Do you...do you understand?"
Boss Hu nodded in understanding: "You mean there are mountains, water, flowers and grass in the restaurant...you mean the restaurant turns into a garden."
Xue Poye breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "You finally understand."
Boss Hu was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Shopkeeper Xue, it's not that Lao Hu doesn't want to help you, it's just that Lao Hu doesn't have the ability. You'd better hire someone else to do it, and I'll give you instructions when it's useful in the future."
He looked at Xue Poye in surprise, as if he was looking at a madman, and was about to leave.
Xue Poye knew that his idea was considered novel in this era. It was normal that Boss Hu couldn't accept it for a while. Seeing that he was leaving, he was not in a hurry and sneered: "I thought Boss Hu was in the decoration industry in Hangzhou."
The boss is omnipotent, but he doesn’t dare to make even a small change when he doesn’t expect it. It’s really disappointing.”
As expected, Boss Hu stopped and frowned, looking at Xue Poye as if he wanted to do something, but he didn't. He said calmly: "Shopkeeper Xue's method is very wonderful. Lao Hu never does anything he is not sure about. If
It's a small thing to ruin your reputation if you do something wrong, but if you delay Shopkeeper Xue's affairs, that would be a bit of a shame."
"Although it is a bit novel, Boss Hu will definitely be able to do the job." Xue Poye seemed to be full of confidence in Boss Hu, beckoning: "Boss Hu might as well sit down and listen to Xue's explanation first. Maybe after this change, he will be more satisfied with Boss Hu."
There is a new breakthrough in decoration concepts.”
Boss Hu saw Xue Poye's gentle smile, thought for a moment, then went back to sit down and said, "Tell me about it."
"Don't worry, Boss Hu. I have hired Skilled Zhang to make the so-called landscapes, trees, flowers and plants. Boss Hu's duty is to place the things crafted by Skilled Zhang in the restaurant to create a landscape layout that is like a tranquil wilderness."
Xue Poye sipped the tea with a smile: "Boss Hu has a profound knowledge of decoration. He just needs to find a beautiful landscape and look at it, and then proportion it... well, then shrink it according to the layout and put the scenery into the restaurant.
This will definitely not be difficult for you."
Boss Hu was a little surprised when he heard Qiao Shou Zhang. Unexpectedly, Xue Poye actually persuaded Qiao Shou Zhang to take action. Listening to Xue Poye's explanation, he suddenly felt that it was really an excellent idea to integrate the landscape into the restaurant to form a
The wonderful layout of the West Lake with beautiful scenery on the outside and outstanding mountains and rivers on the inside is really attractive.
Seemingly sensing Boss Hu's looseness, Xue Poye continued: "My idea is very simple. In the future, in my restaurant, there will be no need for tables when dining. We can ask people to flatten the rocks and use them as tables. Guests can
Sitting on the grass-covered ground, surrounded by tree shades and flowers, everyone can feel the breath of nature and enjoy sumptuous dishes and mellow wine."
Although his words were mixed with many unfamiliar words, Boss Hu and Lao Song finally understood what he meant.
There was a moment of silence, and the originally silent teahouse became even quieter.
Xue Poye stood up, walked to the window, felt the slight wind caressing his face, and said leisurely: "This thing is done, Boss Hu deserves the most credit, whoever comes to my restaurant and sees such a wonderful layout,
Everyone will know that it was Boss Hu who renovated it. In this way, Boss Hu’s reputation will be greatly spread, business will be better, and money will come faster.”
The temptation was so great that Boss Hu even heard some other meanings from shopkeeper Xue's words, which seemed to indicate that when the project was completed, he would give himself the entire creative credit. If that was the case, his own
The decoration business must have a great reputation, and if the business doesn't want to do well, I can't help it. After a short moment of silence, I finally made up my mind, gritted my teeth and said: "I...I can try!"
"I'm just waiting for your words!" Xue Poye laughed and said, "You will definitely do a good job. I'm looking forward to our cooperation this time." He picked up the tea cup and said, "Here, Xue will use tea instead of wine.
Thank you, Boss Hu."
Now that the cooperative relationship was confirmed, Xue Poye immediately expressed some detailed ideas to discuss with Boss Hu. Boss Hu was indeed a brilliant decorator. He easily understood what Xue Poye meant and even suggested some of his own ideas.
This idea won Xue Poye's heart, so the two discussed the specific details and operation methods at the tea table. After all, Lao Song had to take care of this matter, so he naturally listened carefully and remembered what the two said.
What to say.
After talking about it, both of them were very excited. For Boss Hu, this was a very novel and strange idea that he had never tried before. For Xue Poye, it was a turning of his idea into a new one.
Realistically, a layout style that is different from the normal restaurant.
After the dispute between the two had settled, no one knew how much time had passed, Lao Song seemed to understand but not understand what the two said, but Wu Zi insisted on keeping it in his mind. Since the shopkeeper thought so highly of him, it made no sense.
Not doing what he told him to do.
On the way home, Xue Poye was in a very happy mood, and he even explained a lot of details on the way. Old Song kept saying yes. He just felt that the shopkeeper's brain was really easy to use. How did he come up with these incredible ideas?
Xue Poye was always in a good mood. He even smiled after entering Lan Yuexuan. When he saw You Shaoqing, the smile disappeared immediately.
You Shaoqing was in the backyard, sitting at the base of the wall, leaning against the wall, holding a book in his hand and looking at it leisurely. The burden was beside him, but there were not many pears left in it.
While others were busy doing things, he was reading a book leisurely, which made Xue Poye very angry.
"You Talented Man seems to have a lot of time." Xue Poye sneered, "You are indeed a scholar, and I can't live without your treasure for a moment."
You Shaoqing chuckled and did not get up, saying: "Students are naturally addicted to books. If you win this time, you will have to take the provincial examination next year."
Xue Poye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Now he didn't know whether he could pass the college examination, so he was preparing to take the provincial examination. You Shaoqing said that he liked to prepare for a rainy day. He touched his nose and sarcastically said: "You are thinking too far. What if you don't get it this time?"
You Shaoqing put down the book in his hand, looked gloomy, lowered his head, and didn't speak for a long time.dd
