Chapter 1566 VIP
Dongchang Mansion is located in the Chief Minister of Shandong Province and sits on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. It is one of the important transportation hubs of the Grand Canal. It is surrounded by a huge lake outside the city, named Dongchang Lake, also known as Phoenix Lake and Yanzhi Lake. Hangzhou West Lake has a similar area and is known as "West Lake in the south and Dongchang in the north".
Dongchang Mansion is backed by the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and water transportation is particularly developed. The Grand Canal has brought prosperity to Dongchang Mansion for hundreds of years.
By Dongchang Lake, there is a restaurant that integrates accommodation and meals, named Phoenix Tower. It is located in an excellent location, simple and elegant, noble and luxurious.
"Hehe, people scold Emperor Sui Yang for his grandiose feats, militarism, and poverty, but we Dongchang people don't know how to do it. We still have to thank Emperor Sui Yang. If Emperor Sui Yang hadn't opened the Grand Canal, we would still be living in the crops. Soil, how can we have the good life we have today? Look at this big river, even in winter, there are endless ships. Water transport ships and business ships will rest in our Dongchang Mansion. This rest, No lodging and eating, no supplies for daily necessities. Our Phoenix Tower is taking advantage of Emperor Sui Yang, rich and honorable, and then go to offer three sticks of incense to Emperor Sui Yang."
The shopkeeper of the Phoenix Building was calculating the day's income, and at the same time, he gave instructions to the staff beside him happily.
"Okay, shopkeeper, let's go." The boy Fugui responded and went to the back to burn incense for the statue of Emperor Sui Yang.
"Shopkeeper, look at how happy you are, have you made good money again today?" the young man asked with a smile after returning from Fugui Shangxiang.
The little guy, Fugui, is related to the shopkeeper, and they are usually relatively close, so they are not so restrained.
"Hey, I made some money, but it can't be compared with the day before yesterday. The road from Beijing the day before yesterday stayed in our restaurant for a night, and it was just a gold ingot, which covered the entire floor. When eating, it was cleared directly. Unforgettable. You said, how many dignitaries and dignitaries have lived in our Phoenix Tower, compared with the father-in-law who came from other people's palace, they are not on the stage."
The shopkeeper was still deeply impressed when he thought of the scene the day before yesterday, and of course he was even more impressed by the ingot of gold ingot.
"No, you said how clean our tables and chairs are every day, people still hate it, and wipe it again before eating. Also, the master chef in the back kitchen has been told several times by others, saying that the father-in-law tastes bland , must do Huaiyang cuisine." The young man Fugui was also very impressed, "That's really extravagant. Hehe, the shot is also generous, and I even gave a silver bean for silver."
"It would be great if there were such distinguished guests every day." Fu Gui, the little guy, said with a smile.
"If you want to fart, you should burn incense and worship Buddha if you can come across such a good thing once a year." The shopkeeper glared at him, "Don't be lazy, hurry up and help, don't just do it just because I'm your cousin special."
"I'm the one who does the most work." The little guy Fugui said this with confidence, and he turned around to go to work, but just as he turned around, he saw a group of people coming towards the restaurant, the scene was even bigger than the day before yesterday .
"Shopkeeper, should I go to burn incense again?" the boy Fugui swallowed, and said to the shopkeeper.
"It's just finished burning, what are you still burning?" The shopkeeper was reconciling the account book, and he couldn't help opening his mouth when he heard what the young man said about Fugui.
There is an extremely luxurious double-decker painting boat docking on the lake outside the gate, and five large ships are docking slowly in a protective manner.
The first big ship has docked, and people are coming down from the ship in an endless stream, and the people who came down earlier have already reached the door of the restaurant.
More than a dozen burly men in heavy attire wore waist knives with a brass tiger head pattern on the scabbard. The standard waist knives are much heavier, and they don't have the strength to swing them. However, these burly men look like nothing, walking scattered but not chaotic, looking around with their eyes. guard.
It seems that they are more aggressive than the casual guards of the father-in-law the day before yesterday. Of course, the day before yesterday, the father-in-law only brought twenty guards to live in the Phoenix Tower, and the rest of the guards lived in the inn a hundred meters away. The inn is much cheaper there .
A dozen or so burly men surrounded a girl around seventeen or eighteen years old. The girl was dressed in a beautiful dress and a fox-fur cape.
"Please come to the honored guests, welcome the small ones who have lost their way, and hope to forgive your sins." Two shop assistants from the Phoenix Tower had already come forward to greet them.
"The environment is not bad." The fox-fur cloaked girl came in, looked at her twice, and nodded slightly.
"That's right, our Phoenix Tower is one of the best in Dongchang Mansion." The shop assistant said proudly.
"Our lady likes to be quiet. Today and tomorrow, we will take care of your store." The fox-fur cloaked girl took out a gold ingot from her sleeve and threw it to the store clerk, and then ordered, "Please contact the store The guests who have already stayed here are kind enough to talk to us, their expenses are ours, and we are willing to pay double the compensation to ask them to change to another restaurant."
ah? !
Charter the entire restaurant? !
The father-in-law of the day before yesterday only reserved one floor, but today's distinguished guest wants to reserve the entire restaurant for two more days? !
This ingot of gold ingot is very heavy, it is much bigger than the one given by my father-in-law the day before yesterday.
and many more?
Our Miss? !
Ah, such a noble master is just a girl? !
For a moment, the shop assistant and the shopkeeper seemed to be struck by several lightning bolts one after another, shocked one after another.
Money can turn ghosts around.
There is gold to clear the way, the shopkeeper fully meets the requirements of the fox fur girl to reserve and clear the place, and there is double compensation, and the guests in the store don't have much opinion. Anyway, there are several restaurants nearby to live in.
"Wang Xiaoer, you greet your people, it is enough to keep a dozen or so on the first floor to protect them in the dark. It is safe here. Let everyone else live in the nearby restaurant. Miss likes quietness."
"Mother Liu, bring someone to wipe the tables and chairs with hot water several times, and use the tableware we bring."
"Xiaohong, go and clean the Tianzi room carefully several times. The bed and bedding are all brought by us. The lady is afraid of the cold, so remember to heat the room and let it breathe, so you don't get stuffy."
"Mother Wang, you go and take over the back kitchen, and cook some light and delicious side dishes that the young lady likes, as well as nourishing soup. The boat is bumpy along the way, and the young lady is getting sick again. You should be careful when cooking."
The fox-fur cloaked girl methodically commanded the accompanying guards, old lady and maid, and arranged everything.
The shopkeeper and the buddy stayed aside.
This is disgusting with us. The bed and bedding are replaced by their own, and the tableware is the same.
What a noble master this is. Compared with them, the father-in-law who came from the Heavenly Palace pales in comparison.
"Sister Qin'er, the young lady is about to disembark." A little girl trotted over and said.
"Ah, you watch here, I'll pick up Miss, Miss is heavy, I don't worry about others." The fox-fur girl Qin'er picked up her skirt and ran out.
