This large house originally did not have a second floor. Li Qi saw that the house was high enough, so he added an attic above it, which made the first floor structure look more compact.
Of course, the most important thing is that he did not provide the money.
However, Gao Yanei looked around for a long time and found that there was not even a ladder in the entire bar. He couldn't help but wonder: "Li Qi, where are we going up?"
You idiot, when you hear about a woman, you feel like you've been injected with blood. Now you must be embarrassed.
Li Qi looked at Gao Yanei with disdain, then stretched his hand towards the door and said: "Everyone, please follow me."
When Li Shishi and the other three women heard that the second floor was built specifically for their women, they naturally became curious and hurriedly got up and followed Li Qi.
It turns out that the ladder to go upstairs was not inside the house, but outside. No wonder Gao Yanei couldn't find it.
Li Qi took them out of the door and came to the left side of the bar. There was a wooden ladder leading directly to the second floor. There was no street nearby, only a small path leading here. This also satisfied the little girl in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Small and reserved.
Gao Yanei looked at the ladder and said depressedly: "Li Qi, why is your ladder so hidden? It's so hard to find."
I'm not doing this just to prevent perverts like you who are proud of being perverts. If this ladder is placed in the house, you won't be able to run upstairs all day long.
Of course, this cannot be said out loud. Li Qi said vaguely: "This was the original design, and I'm not very clear about it either."
Li Shishi and the others didn't understand Li Qi's intention, so they all laughed and said nothing.
Several people came upstairs and were faced with a sky blue door. There was a plaque on the door, but they saw the three characters "Women's House" written on it.
This meaning is so straightforward that even Gao Yanei can understand it at a glance.
Simple and straightforward, it has now become synonymous with Li Qi. Several people are not surprised by it and don't have much objection to the name.
Li Qi winked at Carpenter Tian, who immediately opened the door.
"please."
As soon as several people came into the house, they were stunned.
But I saw that the house was spacious and bright, with plenty of light, and the design style was completely opposite to that on the first floor.
The first thing that catches the eye is the huge loom placed in the front. Of course, this loom cannot be used for weaving, but is only used for decoration. Behind the loom is a huge screen.
Above is an embroidery picture of a lady.
In front of the loom are small round tables. On both sides of the round tables are placed not chairs, but swings. There are big ones and small ones. The big ones can seat two people, and the small ones can only sit on one person. They are placed on the swings.
They are all decorated with white lace, giving people a dreamlike feeling.
The window seats on both sides of the swing are even more unique. At first glance, I saw a small boat "parked" by each window. After a closer look, it turns out that these are just seats decorated with the shape of a boat. Inside the boat are
There is a small square table and two long stools, but the high tilted sterns at both ends turn the stools into sofas. The design is quite clever.
Sitting on this "boat" to eat. Looking down at the scenery outside the house, it feels like you are in the Milky Way or in a fairyland.
There are also various musical instruments hung on the four walls, such as pipa, flute, flute, etc., adding a bit of elegance to the room.
At the end is a semi-open "boudoir" with a bed, a piano table, a bronze mirror and other accessories that highlight feminine characteristics, echoing the loom in front.
"Women's House", the house is as its name suggests.
Taking the boudoir as the theme and decorating it with fairy tales. This is Li Qi's design concept for this woman's house.
"so beautiful."
Bai Qiannuo's eyes were filled with brilliance. He held his two small hands together in front of his chest and couldn't help but sigh.
Master Li was startled for a moment, then nodded in agreement, with a smile on his lips.
Even Feng Yinu's face showed a trace of emotion.
Although the tastes of the other three young masters, except Chai Cong, are not very good, from the shocked looks on their faces, it is not difficult to see that they are quite satisfied with this house of women.
"Everyone, don't just be in a daze. It's okay to give me some advice." Seeing that everyone except Bai Qiannuo was silent, Li Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
After all, he is still a descendant who has lived here for less than a year. He is still not sure about some details. If he can listen to some opinions from women who live in the upper class like Li Shishi and Feng Yinu
, for him, there is nothing better.
"Master Li, don't make fun of me anymore. Even if you describe this woman's house as ingenious, it's not an exaggeration. How dare we try to do the same thing."
Master Li sighed in admiration, walked in, stretched out his jade arm, gently touched the large loom, and suddenly turned to Bai Qiannuo and asked: "Qiniang, you must have paid a lot of attention to this house, right?"
."
Bai Qiannuo was startled for a moment, then understood and said with a wry smile: "Sister Shishi, like you, this is the first time I see this house. Brother Li did all this." She couldn't help but feel full of admiration as she spoke.
, looked at Li Qi affectionately.
"oh?"
Master Li seemed a little surprised. He turned to Li Qi and asked, "Master Li, did you come up with all this?"
Li Qi nodded slightly and said: "Yes, this is exactly my clumsy work, which made Miss Shishi laugh."
"How did you come up with this method?" Master Li asked curiously.
"It's very simple."
Li Qi smiled slightly and asked instead, "Miss Shishi, where do you usually stay most often?"
Without even thinking about it, Master Li blurted out: "Of course it's a humble house." But as soon as the words came out, she understood.
"good."
Li Qi nodded and said: "Not only you, but most women usually stay at home, never leave the house, and rarely go to restaurants to eat. I designed this house like this just to give you women a sense of home."
The feeling will make you feel not so restricted, as if you are at home, and the female bartender here will also be dressed as a maid, which will definitely make you feel at home."
"Okay. Well said."
Fan Shaobai suddenly opened his mouth and praised: "Master Li, your method is really amazing, Shaobai is ashamed of himself." Although he was not as good as his father, he could still see this business opportunity.
The Northern Song Dynasty was still a patriarchal society. Generally, women rarely went to restaurants. Even a relatively open-minded woman like Bai Qiannuo rarely went to restaurants to eat. Even when they went to Zuixianju, they were secretive and restrained.
Very.
In other words, based on this alone, compared with later generations, the turnover of restaurants today has dropped by at least half. In later generations, women are a consumer group that cannot be ignored for restaurants. Therefore, creating a way to receive women
Restaurants, whether successful or not, are inevitable. Li Qi knew that even in ancient times, once these women were let go, their spending power would never be worse than that of men. This could be considered a rising industry, so good.
How could Li Qi let this business opportunity pass?
Even if no woman comes to eat here, he won't lose much, but if this situation is reversed, then his profit will be immeasurable. If he doesn't even take a chance, how long will it take?
Master Li had to make money to support himself since he was a child. He was so immersed in it that he understood the interests involved and said: "Master Li's idea is really thoughtful. Based on this alone, I'm afraid no businessman in the entire capital can match it."
Although Fan Shaobai felt a little unhappy after hearing this, he could only bow his head to Li Qi's bold idea of a one-woman house.
"Sister, you think too highly of him."
Feng Yinu snorted softly and poured cold water on him: "In my opinion, although this place is good, no one may be willing to come."
This time Li Qi did not argue with her, but felt that her concerns did have some validity. After all, women these days have been mentally imprisoned by that bullshit saint's way. Whether they can be lured here has also become a question.
The biggest challenge facing the opening of a bar, of course, he never fights without preparation. Hehe smiled and said: "What Feng Xingshou said is true. Regarding this, I'm afraid I have to trouble Yanei and Xiaojiu."
"Li Qi, you really understand me."
Gao Yanei nodded, patted his chest and said: "I am not boasting, but as soon as I sit here, those women keep pouring up." After saying that, he let out another long sigh and said, "Although it is hard work.
A little, but for the sake of our bar, I have no choice but to do it."
sweat...
Gao Yanei's righteous words almost made the others sick. Even Hong Tianjiu, who had always had a similar odor with him, blushed and dared not say anything. As for the other two young masters,
She immediately distanced herself from him.
The expressions on the faces of the three beauties were very strange, and it was obvious that they were enduring it very hard.
How can there be such shameless people in this world? I am convinced.
Li Qi wiped the cold sweat from his head and said sarcastically: "Ya Nei, you misunderstood."
"Misunderstand?"
Gao Yanei was slightly startled and wondered: "What misunderstanding?"
Li Qi said helplessly: "Can you please listen to what I have to say first?"
"Say it, I didn't stop you from saying it."
Li Qi sighed feebly and said: "Actually, what I need is not you, but your concubine."
"What?"
Gao Yanei immediately became furious and said: "You are so brave, you dare to openly want my concubine. Do you really think that my Yanei is so easy to bully? I am really angry."
Even the others looked at Li Qi in disbelief. What he said was really hurtful.
Seeing this, Bai Qiannuo stood up and said, "Yameni, please calm down first. Brother Li definitely didn't mean this."
Gao Yanei said angrily: "Then what does he mean?"
o.m.g!
Li Qi slapped his forehead and said, "Yamen, can you please listen to what I have to say before expressing your opinion."
Gao Yanei waved his sleeves and hummed, "There's more to say."
Li Qi was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and said to Hong Tianjiu: "Xiaojiu."
Before he finished speaking, Hong Tianjiu said with a sad face: "Brother Li, I only have five concubines in total. Don't look for me."
Li Qi became angry, his body trembled, and he said, "Am I, Li Qi, such a lecherous person in your eyes?"
Hong Tianjiu and Gao Yanei nodded together.
Li Qi was about to cry but had no tears. He pressed his hands and said: "Okay, okay, let's get down to business and stop joking. Actually, I want you to ask your concubine to come here for dinner."
"ah?"
Gao Yanei was stunned and said: "That's it?"
"That's it. You are overthinking it."
"It's easy. They have nothing to do anyway if they stay at home. But why did you let them come here to eat?" Gao Yanei asked curiously.
Before Li Qi could speak, Feng Yinu suddenly said: "He wants your concubine to take the lead and set an example to attract other women to come here."
Hey. This woman's reaction is quite quick.
Li Qi nodded and said: "That's exactly the truth, and you have to try to get your concubines to bring their friends with them. Of course, I will give them a big discount. It's even cheaper than eating at home. As for you I won’t take any money from my concubine.”
"The money doesn't matter, I just come with them every day." Gao Yanei said cheerfully.
What you think is quite beautiful.
Li Qi said angrily: "Yameni, you can't come here."
"Why is this?"
"This store is called Women's House. What do you think a grown man like you is doing here?"
Gao Yanei looked depressed, glanced at Feng Yinu, and rolled his eyes. Without saying a word, he pulled Li Qi and walked towards the back. When he was far enough away from Li Shishi and others, he whispered: " Li Qi, don’t forget what you promised me?”
Li Qileng said: "What did I promise you?"
"Women. You said this bar has all the women you want. If you don't allow me to come up, how can I get it?"
Sweat! This guy is really a talent.
Li Qi knelt down completely, and with a thought in his mind, he said: "Ya Nei. May I ask how you usually pursue women?"
"It's easy. Just go to her house with the bride price."
Rogue! This is too simple and crude.
Li Qi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Then why don't you bring the betrothal gift to Feng Xing's first family?"
Gao Yanei said depressedly: "You think I don't want to. But I don't dare to do it. Even if I dare, there is nothing I can do if she doesn't agree."
"Isn't this what it is?"
Li Qi said against his will: "Yanei, my bar is actually here to help you pursue women like Feng Xingshou."
"oh?"
Gao Yanei's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Then come to me quickly."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Ya Nei, your way of pursuing women is really too simple and crude. With this method, you can only get two kinds of women. The first one is greedy for your wealth, and the second one is afraid. Your power, and Feng Xingshou belongs to the third type of woman. She is neither short of money nor afraid of you, so you have to find another way. First, you have to communicate with Duoduo. Try to make her identify with you, and then let her She likes you, so you can get her. In fact, conquering a woman's heart is much more interesting than conquering a woman's body. And my bar is to increase the communication between men and women."
"What you said makes sense. I just lack a woman who can speak well."
Gao Yanei nodded thoughtfully and said: "No, you want us to communicate with women more, but you don't allow us to come here, how can I communicate with her?"
"Why don't you understand? I didn't allow you to come here, but I didn't say not to allow them to go downstairs. Then you can ask your concubine to accompany you to play downstairs. The other men will see How can they not be envious of the fact that there are women around you? They will definitely call their concubines. In this way, there will be more women downstairs. When the time is right, I will build a ladder and come up from the first floor. Doesn’t this mean that I am within you and you are within me?
But Yanei, I have one thing to explain to you. I don’t want to see any rape of women in our bar. This is so shameful. You have to use this method to chase a woman. You are also a part of the bar. Can you?
You have to set an example. If you can't do it, then I won't continue to open this bar. Of course, if the other party is willing, that's another matter. In short, everyone can eat according to their ability. "
Gao Yanei rubbed his chin with a lewd smile on his face, took a disgusting sip of saliva, nodded and said: "Don't worry, I know what to do, hehe."
Hong Tianjiu looked at them with evil smiles on their faces, muttering endlessly, and asked curiously: "Huh? What are they talking about?"
Feng Yinu snorted: "Looking at their appearance, it's definitely not a good thing."
Bai Qiannuo frowned slightly after hearing this. She didn't like Li Qi always being with Gao Yanei, and was afraid that Li Qi would be led astray. However, she didn't know that Gao Yanei was like a naked lamb in front of Li Qi. How much more innocent should she be?
How innocent. He shouted: "Brother Li, what are you talking about?"
Li Qi was slightly startled and said randomly: "Oh, Yanei said that he has many concubines, so he asked me how many of them would be appropriate at one time."
Gao Yanei nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, yes."
Bai Qiannuo glanced at them suspiciously, and suddenly heard Chai Cong say: "That's not right. I think this women's house is very inappropriate."
"What's wrong? What bad idea have you come up with?" Gao Yanei said angrily. Anyone who can't get along with this woman now should go to Gao Yanei. No one will give her this face.
Chai Cong glanced sideways at him, ignored him, and said to Li Qi: "Li Qi, by arranging this women's room upstairs, you are making us men feel inferior to women. How unbecoming is this?"
He is famous for his love of face and does not tolerate any flaws in this regard.
Before Li Qi opened his mouth, Bai Qiannuo suddenly said: "What Mr. Chai said is wrong."
Chai Cong was stunned. He cupped his fists and said, "I don't know what the white lady has to say."
Bai Qiannuo smiled and said, "Don't you realize that there is something missing upstairs than downstairs?"
When everyone heard this, they looked around.
"It's a lamp."
Feng Yinu said.
Bai Qiannuo smiled and said, "Sister Feng is right. The downstairs is not much bigger than the upstairs, but there are about thirty lamps, while here there are only eight lamps." Then she asked Li Qi again: "Li Qi
Brother, do you plan to make this women’s house only open during the day and the Roaring Bar only open at night?”
"clever."
Li Qi nodded and said: "Qiniang is right, the women's house will close in the evening. And that's when the Roaring Bar opens its doors."
This bar is not exclusively for dining, so it doesn't make much sense to open it during the day.
Chai Cong nodded and said, "That's pretty much it."
Master Li looked at Bai Qiannuo with a smile and said, "Qiniang, you know Master Li quite well."
Bai Qiannuo blushed and said shyly, "No way, Qiniang was just talking casually."
"Brother Li, when will this bar open?" Hong Tianjiu asked as he sat on the swing and swayed.
Li Qi nodded and said: "We can open it after the drinks and tableware arrive, probably within this month."
Everyone was looking forward to it after hearing it.
After visiting for so long, everyone felt a little tired.
The fourth young master returned to the bar on the first floor and continued to talk about the bar, while Li Shishi and three other beauties stayed on the second floor. After all, there were too many new things here, and they had to be given time to digest them.
As for Li Qi, he went to the kitchen. At this time, there were already several little cooks working there. These little cooks were also refugees. At first, Li Qi asked them to learn cooking from the chef who came from Caicai Taishi's house.
today.
Li Qi prepared hand-shredded squid for the four young masters, and a fruit platter for Feng Yinu and Bai Qiannuo. These are things that will appear in the bar in the future, which will help them understand the bar culture better.
As for Li Shishi, of course she had to be treated differently. Li Qi made a bamboo shredded chicken soup specially for her.
I have to say, this shredded squid paired with mustard and garlic is really delicious.
The four young masters had a great time eating. One plate after another, more than ten plates had been wiped out in the blink of an eye, and this was without wine.
There were three beauties upstairs. Li Qi naturally did not want to stay with the four young masters. When he sneaked to the second floor with a fruit platter, he saw the girls sitting on the swing chatting happily, and asked with a smile:
"What are you guys talking about?"
Li Shishi's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Let's talk about you."
"Oh, is it so?"
Li Qi put the fruit plate on the table, took advantage of the situation and sat next to Bai Qiannuo, and asked, "What are you talking about about me?"
A hint of cunning flashed in Li Shishi's eyes, and he said: "Let's talk about your purpose of opening a women's house."
Li Qi frowned and said, "What's there to talk about? My purpose of opening this women's house is naturally to make money. In fact, you still have a lot of things to talk about me, such as my handsome appearance."
Li Shishi chuckled and did not answer, but Feng Yinu suddenly smiled and said: "How is it? Qiniang, I didn't blame your brother Li wrongly."
Bai Qiannuo pouted, glanced at Li Qi with a hint of complaint and said, "Brother Li, are you really just opening this women's house for money?"
Huh? Something is wrong.
"of course not."
Li Qi laughed, pondered for a moment, and then reacted immediately, sighing: "Actually, I have always believed that women's life is not to please men. It is as simple as having children. They should all have their own thoughts and rights.
To enjoy life, why can men live and drink outside, while women have to stay alone at home and endure loneliness? Who stipulated this.
Are women inherently inferior to men? I don’t think so. Didn’t Wu Zetian also become the emperor? So it’s not that women are not good, but that they are subject to undue constraints. There is a saying that women can hold up half of the sky.
And my daughter's house is to help women loosen this layer of shackles and let women walk out of that small door. Alas, maybe in your opinion, I am stupid for doing this, but I am a fool."
These words said here are shocking. If there were a few Confucian scholars sitting opposite, Li Qi would probably be doomed. But if there were several women sitting opposite, the situation would be completely different. These words said
It relieved the grievances in their hearts and made them full of respect for Li Qi.
"No, Brother Li, you are not stupid, you are the smartest person in the world." Bai Qiannuo put her small hand on Li Qi's big hand and said with red eyes, her tone was quite proud.
Yes! Let me pass again.
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Qiniang, you just need to know some things in your heart. There is no need to say them out, so as not to arouse jealousy."
Li Shishi shook his head, he was sincerely convinced of Li Qi. I don’t know how this person grew up to be so thick-skinned.
How could Feng Yinu believe Li Qi's words? He said calmly: "You are not saying this just to get more women to come here to play. After all, your purpose is to make money."
Sweat! This woman is really my nemesis. She knows exactly what I am thinking.
Li Qi's heart was shocked, but he still said unambiguously: "Qiniang, look, I said it would make people jealous, but I didn't expect it would come so quickly." (To be continued...)
