"Oh, my brother Fei, why are you here now? I can't get through to you from this morning. There's no one in your hotel. I'm so anxious that I'm going to call the police!"
As soon as Gao Fei entered the restaurant, Li Decai met him.
"Cao, do you still need to call the police? I've been at the police station. "
Looking at the customers in the restaurant, Gao Fei asked, "today's business is good."
"It's not only good, it's hot!"
"What can I do for you?"
"You see."
Li Decai wiped the sweat on his forehead: "brother Fei, I'm looking for you just to tell you that we have to recruit more people. Now there are too few waiters. I'm too busy at all. Even the chef came out to help at noon. Well, it's just eight o'clock, and the attendance rate has reached 80%. There will be more people later. "
"OK, I'll remember what you said. I'll consult someone who knows the business."
Gao Fei smiles and pats Li Decai on the shoulder and walks to the bar.
Behind the long bar, Lian Xue's fingers are pounding on the computer and busy with accounting. The two foreign handsome guys (bartenders) around him are playing with flowers like magic, attracting a group of flower crazy girls and giving out praise from time to time.
One of them, Jack, saw the boss coming, nodded his head and handed him a cocktail named blue flame.
When Gao Fei said thank you with a smile, Lian Xue saw that he had come.
At the moment of looking up and seeing Gao Fei, Lian Xue's eyes obviously flashed a touch of surprise, but then recovered calm: "coming?"
"Ang, here we are."
With his left hand on the bar, Gao Fei sipped a sip of wine: "how are you, tired?"
"It's OK. If the work is free, your boss will fire us."
Lian Xue made a joke, opened her mouth to say something, but closed her mouth again.
Gao Fei knows that she would like to know what happened last night, especially the news of Subei mountain. After all, she is the direct subordinate of Subei mountain, and her life happiness is in his hands.
Gao Fei saw that there were ordinary consumers around, but he didn't have any scruples. He put down his wine glass and said faintly, "Subei mountain is dead."
Lian Xue, who was about to get the computer, was stiff and asked, "who killed him?"
As like as two peas, he shook his head. "I don't know yet. He died so badly that he seemed to be forced to swallow a monster. It was almost the same as a snake, but it had tentacles on its head, and whiskers on both sides of the mouth. It was full of smooth and scaly skin, and the blood was strong acid. When I went there, I saw that he was strangled to death by a rope in a tree. That thing was about to break its belly. As a result, I cut open his stomach and cut it off. What's the matter with you, Lian Xue? You look so ugly? "
Lian Xue raised her hand and rubbed her cheek. She said with a strong smile, "it's nothing. Maybe it's a little tired."
Goofy looked her in the eye: "Lian Xue, you know what that thing is, don't you?"
"Jack, watch for me. I'll go to the bathroom."
Lian Xue didn't answer Gao Fei's question, but pushed the computer to Jack, turned around and hurried to the bathroom.
Looking at the graceful figure of Lian Xue, Gao Fei shakes his head thoughtfully and goes up to the second floor with a wine glass.
In the restaurant on the second floor, the attendance rate has reached about 50%.
The restaurant just opened yesterday is so popular today. Besides the publicity and pure taste, the low price plays a very important role.
In Lao Wang's words, restaurants are now crying out to make money at a loss. The higher the attendance, the more they will lose.
But goofy thinks it's nothing. In business, the most important thing is reputation.
Since the restaurant has been advertised, it will carry out a month's sales promotion after its opening. No matter how much money it loses, it will have to last this month. Only in this way can it win the trust of consumers.
Of course, Gao Fei's confidence has something to do with getting the money for the activity.
Anyone who has tens of millions of US dollars in Swiss bank will not care too much about the gain and loss of hundreds of thousands of RMB.
When Gao Fei came to the second floor, sister de Cai, who was cleaning at the door of the office, came to say hello.
From her simple smile, he could see that this rural woman really appreciated him and worked for him, although her clothes were not suitable to appear in a western restaurant.
It seems that we have to find a special image designer to package her and Lao Wang. That can be regarded as upgrading the restaurant. After a few casual greetings with sister de Cai, Gao Fei walks into the office.
Last night, before Gao Fei rushed out of the office, because of the fierce fight with Mr. Qin, he not only made a mess, but also made the air very bad. Now when he came in again, the air was floating with a faint smell of mint, and he cleaned it up spotlessly.
Gao Fei knew that this must be cleaned up by elder sister de Cai, because only a woman like her, who was born in the countryside, would be so careful.
Close the door, good sound insulation facilities, let goofy into a separate space.
Standing in front of the window, he opened the curtain, looked out for a moment, then took out the mobile phone, found the charger and began to charge.
Sitting in a comfortable chair, Gao Fei took out the book of an GUI Jing from his arms.
The written cover of an GUI Jing is red, but it's not very bright. It looks like it was soaked in blood. Some of it is red, emitting an unknown mysterious color.
On the left side of the three characters, there are several characters like tadpoles. I don't know what they are.
After Qin Shihuang unified the six states, Xiaozhuan carried out the policy of "the same script, the same track" and unified weights and measures. Under the charge of prime minister Lisi, Xiaozhuan simplified the Dazhuan script originally used in Qin state, eliminated the variant characters of other six states, and created a unified writing form of Chinese characters.
Until the end of the Western Han Dynasty (about 8 A.D.), it was gradually replaced by Lishu. But because of its beautiful font, it has always been favored by calligraphers.
To be honest, with Gao Fei's cultural level, he can't understand these words at all.
The reason why he knew these three words were "an GUI Jing" was that Haibo had mentioned the name of the book to him last night.
The cover of the book is very thick, it should be several layers of hard paper pressed together, giving people a heavy feeling.
Haibo once told him last night that the reason why he left this book in Subei mountain was that he hoped that he could see something from it and then learn some secrets he had never heard of.
However, when Gao Fei opened the book, he murmured "Cao.".
All the characters in it were written in Xiaozhuan, and he could barely read "one, two, three.".
"Ma, it's a Book of heaven for me. It's depressing."
Gao Fei raised his hand and rubbed his nose. He began to look through the notes of simplified Chinese characters, hoping to see some notes of simplified Chinese characters. It's really not good, even for traditional Chinese characters, so that he can read half of the characters.
But to his disappointment, there was no annotation in the whole book. All the fonts were small seal characters like this.
However, every few, there will be an illustration with a brush.
Mr. Gao doesn't know Xiaozhuan, but he can understand simple calligraphy and painting.
In the first illustration, it seems to be drawn from a bird's-eye view of the situation. Below is a large desert, and there is a long line of camels, on which hooded people sit and walk in the distance.
In a place that should be far away, you can see the outline of a city. There is a semicircle like thing (I don't know whether it is the sun or the moon) behind the city.
The second painting came to the city.
There are countless shops on both sides of the city street. Pedestrians walk on the street and point at the shops.
This painting is somewhat like the famous Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival in history. However, the clothes of the characters in the painting are obviously exotic. Many people cover their heads with headscarves.
It seems that this painting should describe the prosperity of the city.
The third painting is a magnificent hall.
On both sides of the main hall there are more than ten cases, on which there are fruit plates. Some people sit at the back and look at the innermost platform of the main hall.
On the high platform, there is also a table with wine bottles and other things on it. A man with a big beard sits cross legged in the back. He seems to be greeting people on both sides: come on, come on, brother. Don't mention it. Drink!
Above the moustache, there are two words.
Gao Fei is very happy that he can recognize these two words: an GUI!
However, he did not understand the meaning of these two words, so he turned back.
After reading these three paintings, Gao Fei probably understood something: deep in the desert, there is a city, which is very prosperous. The king of the city is having a banquet in the main hall.
The fourth painting, which is more easy to understand, is a picture of delivery.
There is a screen in the picture. Outside the screen stands the big beard who just invited the guests. He is anxiously walking back and forth with his hands on his back. Inside the screen, there are two midwives holding a baby to go around the screen. Behind them, on the ground, there is a woman. It seems that the baby is his mother.
After the fifth painting, there are more than a dozen pictures, all of which have the same meaning. The only change is that the men waiting outside are young people and bald old men.
After reading these similar pictures, Gao Fei finally sees a familiar portrait in the following pictures: a young general with a horse and a gun, and wearing Han armor.
The young general held up his iron gun, his horse's front hooves leaped, and the tip of the gun almost pierced the page. He was shouting something.
Behind the young general is a big flag.
The big flag is also a small seal.
This time, however, Gao Fei could vaguely understand what the word was because it was very similar to "Huo" in modern Chinese.
Behind the flag, there are countless soldiers with short knives and shields, who are following the young general and charging forward.
In front, there are many people in foreign clothes, running forward in a hurry.
Gao Fei thought that this painting should express that the army of that city was defeated by a young Han general who seemed to be surnamed "Huo" and was running for his life.
The next few paintings are more easy to understand, reflecting the tragic displacement of the people in this city. Everyone's eyes are looking at the general who seems to be surnamed Huo.
In the penultimate picture, many people are hiding in windows, corners and behind trees, smiling and clapping at the street.
On the street, some Han soldiers were carrying a stretcher.
The man on the stretcher was covered with white sheets and the flag was rolled up. The soldiers seemed to leave the city crying.
