"Sir! The man next door is renting a house! It costs one hundred and dozens of taels of silver for more than a month! Forget it, Ming Mo and I will just squeeze in here!" Ming Yan felt very reluctant to part with it when he thought of the one hundred and dozens of taels of silver.
.
Ming Mo knew that the young master was not used to sharing a room with others. However, the room next door was too expensive, and the middle and lower rooms were on the lower floor. If the young master had something to call them, it would definitely not be convenient.
"Go and ask! I will tell you things to do during this period. You are always coming in and out, which will affect my reading." Gu Chengyu knew that if he didn't say this, Ming Mo and the others would definitely be reluctant to give up money.
At this time, Gu Chengyu didn't know that there was an explosion below because of the couplet he wrote.
"Tsk tsk! He is really someone who has been praised by the Holy One! This couplet is so well matched!" Since he decided to frame it, the inn's shopkeeper Wan was not stingy about letting everyone appreciate it. After all, it would be beneficial to Qunying Tower, wouldn't it?
"It's because we were blind before, and we didn't expect that he was still a young scholar! Huh? I said, does this mean that we have surpassed the three great talents in Jiangnan? Then who will be the winner of Qiu Wei's Jieyuan? That's not necessarily the case.
!”
The examinee next to him shook his head when he heard this, "Who knows this? I think Min Feng and Huang Junheng are also good. Besides, it's useless to know how to write poems and couplets! The provincial examination is not just about these."
"She's not just good at poetry! Let me see! This time it will definitely be a battle between dragons and tigers. Don't forget, the guy from Boshan Academy will also end up this year, right?"
"Alas! Bad luck! It seems that it will be difficult for us to get a good ranking this year. It's really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon this autumn!" a student wailed.
"Who are you talking about?" Someone was already confused.
"Who else could it be? It's Fu Yanshan, the nephew of the mountain leader Fu Ming! I heard that he is also a child prodigy! He was admitted as a scholar at the age of thirteen, and I'm afraid he will end up this year!"
"Gu Chengyu, who came up just now, I heard that he was admitted as a scholar at the age of eight!"
"That man coughs! We can't compare. Since there are so many famous talents this year, I have to work harder. I don't ask for a good ranking, I just want to pass the examination!"
"Yes, yes! I went to Huazhen Temple before the exam, offered incense to the Bodhisattva, and prayed to gods and Buddhas to bless me that I can pass the exam this time. This is my third time this year!"
Ming Mo and Ming Yan hung all the clothes that Gu Chengyu wore every day on the wooden rack, and took out the things in the rattan box and arranged them, which was what Gu Chengyu was used to.
Gu Chengyu on the other side opened the window in front of him and looked outside. Qunying Building is located in a busy city, and the bustling streets can be seen outside the window. However, the sound insulation of the room is good. If the window is not opened, the noise outside will be much smaller.
Gu Chengyu looked at the flow of people outside, listening to the vendors shouting to passers-by, and the children playing with each other in the crowd. The pedestrians who were hit were not annoyed and seemed very tolerant. It seemed that this was South Street, South Street.
There are more vendors on the street, and the items in the shops are all very affordable.
I looked forward and saw that there should be civilian residences inside. There were small courtyards, one house after another. The yards were all square. From a distance, they looked like matchboxes. The yards over there were really just one family.
It is estimated that there are only one or two rooms. Land is very expensive in the capital, which shows how wealthy Qunying Tower is. Each upper room has three rooms.
When they walked through those inns before, Gu Chengyu observed other inns and found that most of the other inns were not big in appearance. It seems that if you want to do business in the capital and want to be big, you can't do it without connections. Qunying Tower
There must be people behind it, otherwise it would not be possible on such a large scale.
While Gu Chengyu was deep in thought, Ming Mo's voice rang out, "Master! It's almost three o'clock in the morning. Didn't you make an appointment with Mr. Sun and the others? Let's go now!"
"Yes! By the way, I told Manager Yu to take Gu Wanqian to the capital in the next few days. When the mistress comes tomorrow, let him take you around the capital to familiarize yourself with the terrain.
, when you pass by restaurants, you should check out more and see which restaurant has better business! Then go to Yahang and see if there are any suitable shops. I want to buy some shops. This is your task these days. "
Gu Wanqian started working with Yu Paralyzed last year. Gu Chengyu thought that if he cultivated him well, he would be able to stand alone when he got older.
"Yes!" Ming Mo and Ming Yan knew that the young master was good at martial arts, so they didn't need to worry about it. They just completed the tasks that the young master completed.
Gu Chengyu called Sun Xian and they went downstairs together, and followed the waiter to a private room on the second floor.
The waiter waited for Gu Chengyu and the others to sit down and couldn't wait to tell them the names of the dishes. Gu Chengyu and the others listened to a series of dish names and didn't know what to order. Gu Chengyu secretly thought to himself, it's a good thing his restaurant has a menu, otherwise
Even if the waiter spills the beans, the guests won't remember it.
"Pick out a few of your signature dishes, just seven or eight!" The signature dishes reported by the waiter just now were about ten, and there were five of them including Ming Mo and Ming Yan. Although it was a bit more.
, but I can still finish the meal. Since I plan to open a restaurant, I have to find out their background, right?
"Okay! Gentlemen, please wait a moment. The young one will go and tell the kitchen to serve the food!" The waiter happily poured a cup of tea for Gu Chengyu and the others, and then left.
Ye Zhiqiu waited for the waiter to leave, then said to Gu Chengyu: "Chengyu! Why do you want to eat here? It's the same when we go out to find a small shop to eat. It must be very expensive here. Besides, can we finish eating with so many dishes?
?”
Ye Zhiqiu sometimes felt that Gu Chengyu was a little extravagant, but then he thought, if he could make money as Gu Chengyu did, he probably wouldn't take this money seriously.
Sun Xian just laughed when he heard this. He thought he knew Gu Chengyu quite well. Gu Chengyu was not a wasteful person, and he was afraid that he had some ideas.
"Don't feel sorry for him. Of course he has his own motives for doing this. Just eat!"
When Gu Chengyu heard this, he gave Sun Xian a thumbs up, "What Brother Sun said is absolutely true! Brother Ye, there is no need to be polite, just eat with confidence."
It's hard to talk about opening a restaurant in someone's private room. Besides, I can't even find a restaurant now! It's too early to say this!
"You guys should sit down too! There are no outsiders here, and it's not convenient to eat separately." Gu Chengyu said to Ming Mo and Ming Yan behind him, Sun Xian and the others are not outsiders, and it doesn't matter if they eat once in a while.
"This can't be done!" Ming Mo refused at first. How could he have dinner at the same table as the young master?
"That won't work. I'd better wait until the young masters finish eating before eating!" Ming Yan had been warned by Ming Mo, so how could he dare to go out of his way?
Gu Chengyu called again, but seeing that the two refused, he had to let them go. In fact, it was just that there were too many dishes, so they would not have to call again, so Gu Chengyu wanted to make an exception!
