Chapter 10 Closed-door family
What Liu Yu was most annoying was that Su Yan came to disturb his quietness. He either borrowed money or sold those "distinct treasures". Sometimes he took advantage of his wishes to send him away, and he also wanted to change his quietness.
But this time, I don’t know if I was helping him or hurting him.
Liu Yu and Han Sheng played for several games, and then they realized that Han Sheng’s ability to play Go was really not a joke. Liu Yu lost every time and couldn’t find Bei. In the end, he had no choice but to make a move back to several steps to find psychological balance.
After noon, Sui Yi and the other two arrived late, and it was obvious that their expressions were a lively scene.
"The Ninth Prince is the one who often comes to bother Brother Liu. Today he made a fool of himself. He was rushed to the third prince's mansion like a dog. Many people were watching the fun. I don't know what he thought. He couldn't drive away even if he shouted, beaten and scolded. The royal face was thrown away by him." When Sui Yi said this, he obviously didn't expect that Liu Yu had come up with this embarrassing idea.
"What's the last?" Liu Yu asked with a look on his face.
"In the end, I don't know. So many people watched the fun, and we couldn't squeeze in front of us. We didn't think it was too fun, so we came here first." Sui Yi smiled, with a bit of cunning smile, "Are we going to go to spring again?"
"If you don't go, you almost starved to death yesterday."
"I won't know this time. I have prepared some food, including meat and vegetables, and I have brought a pot, steamed, roasted and fried, just go to the wild to have a meal and have fun. By the way, I will take you to see my newly bought garden, decorations and arrangements, and you can give me some advice."
Liu Yu looked at the sky outside. The sunlight after the rain was covered by clouds again. It was finally not raining. He replied lightly: "You guys go, I want to take a shower, I'm a little tired."
…………
Liu Yu is not obsessed with cleanliness, but after coming to this world, he always feels dry and has to take a bath every one or two days.
You can only go to the bathhouse when taking a bath.
He also wanted to take a bath at home, but a concubine's son, the servants in the mansion could not boil water for him every day. No one in the mansion likes cleanliness as much as him. The other masters, including those young ladies who love cleanliness, only take a shower or two during the winter.
These days, the bathhouses are all men and men. When they see Liu Yu coming, the bathhouses greet them enthusiastically, and they prepare new towels every time. Liu Yu is a regular visitor here, and a well-known regular visitor. He needs to find a single room, with a pit two meters square on the ground, filled with water, as if he is washing a hot spring.
Liu Yu was not used to taking a bath with a group of men, and when he came to the bathhouse, he was alone to hide in tranquility. In fact, the single room was only separated from the large room outside, and the noise outside was not ordinary peddlers and pawns. Ordinary people didn't want to spend money when taking a bath. Those who came to the bathhouse were people who had little social status but were a little rich. Some business travelers were also used to coming to this place to talk about business and experiences in the South China Sea and the North.
… “I heard that the husband-beating daughter has not gotten married again this time. The Turks are coming in a fierce manner, and she still doesn’t know if she will be back.”
This is the "rumor" that Liu Yu heard for a while and had the most connection with him. In fact, it cannot be said to be a rumor. What people are talking about is indeed facts. How many people can go back to wars in ancient times? Besides, a helpless woman died, and the Xu family completely cut off the incense.
"The most lively thing in Chang'an City today is the residence of the third prince. There is someone making a fuss there. It seems that he is a brother to the third prince. I am surprised. Since they are all princes and grandsons, that person is like a madman?"
"Crazy? Humph, he is also a prince, but it was just a matter of the past. Today I heard that a censor saw it. He was so angry that he said that he would destroy the royal majesty and report to the emperor to punish the madman. It seems that he can't stay in Chang'an City anymore."
...
What was discussed outside the future was inseparable from Su Yan's riot in the Third Prince's Mansion. The matter has spread now, but Liu Yu also knew that the mixed nature of the matter for Su Yan depends on the attitude of the old emperor.
However, when people get old, they will never be killed when facing the last son born to Huo Kuang couple. Su Yan's chances of winning are still very big. What they fear most is that the old emperor doesn't know or turns a deaf ear to him, so Su Yan still has to continue wandering around Chang'an City.
After taking a shower, Liu Yu came out and was about to buy some food to go back to the chess building, but it started to rain again. Liu Yu originally wanted to hide under the eaves of the roof. When he looked up, he found a restaurant next to him called "Yuelaiju". It was just after noon. Although it was a bit more luxurious, he could afford it.
When I walked into the restaurant, I found that it was empty, there were no customers, no friends, and there was no shopkeeper at the counter. The tables and chairs were also clean. Could it be that the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper in the restaurant were traveling together? Are you not afraid of thieves coming to visit?
Liu Yu went straight to the second floor, but there was still no one, and it was rare to find such a quiet and deserted restaurant. He found a seat by the window and sat down. After waiting for a while, there was still no waiter to entertain him.
"Customer, we have closed down and the hospitality is not good. Please go elsewhere." A man who looked like a shopkeeper in his forties walked upstairs and found that there was also a guest Liu Yu.
Liu Yuxin said that it was not a prosperous street outside, and he kept walking around. It would be strange if the business of opening a restaurant in such a location was good. But he never expected that he would go bankrupt. Does this mean that he became the last guest of "Yuelaiju"?
"It's raining outside, it's going down... Can you avoid it here for a while?"
Liu Yu also felt that this requirement was a bit too much when he said it. He had closed down and he still had to stay here, just like he was watching the fun with sincerity.
"Shopkeeper Yu, who are you talking to?"
The woman's voice came downstairs, and her voice was quite delicate. She was not old, but she was a little calm and capable.
Boss lady?
The shopkeeper turned around and said respectfully to the downstairs: "Home, a guest has come. I'll explain the situation to him now."
"Ding! Ding! Ding!..." With the sound of tiny footsteps, the woman actually came upstairs.
He was very calm and had a booklet in his hand. He was not fancy silk, but elegantly dressed and looked very beautiful. He had a kind of beautiful beauty without any hell. When he went upstairs, he saw Liu Yu and nodded slightly to say hello.
"Shopkeeper Yu, there are still some fish, meat and vegetables in the kitchen. Let the chef cook it and send it to the guest. The restaurant is about to close today, and it is considered to be the last business." The woman ordered the shopkeeper beside her.
"Yes, boss."
The woman's words worked very well, and the shopkeeper did not neglect the boss because of the job he was about to lose, so he took the order to go downstairs.
The woman looked at Liu Yu from a distance and smiled lightly: "This guest official, today I will regard it as a young woman as a host. Please forgive me for any inappropriate things."
"Oh. Thank you."
Liu Yu was invited to dinner for no reason, and he was a little disgusted. The woman did not go downstairs, but counted the tables and chairs on the floor in her booklet, which was very smart as a businessman.
"Store, why don't you continue to manage it?" Liu Yu couldn't help asking.
"Maybe the little girl is not good at managing and has a bad location. In the past, she was doing some free trades and lacked experience in store business."
The transaction of licensed goods is to sell goods, transporting between north and south, buying low and selling high, which means selling. That is to say, the woman in front of her is a businessman, not only this restaurant, but also a "group CEO".
Liu Yu was embarrassed to ask again. After a while, the wine was served. The wine was fragrant and the first dish was also served. It was a very ordinary vegetarian dish, but the taste was very delicious, not inferior to those famous restaurants in Chang'an City.
"It seems that I have made a profit today. I can drink such a good wine and taste such a good dish without spending money." Liu Yu couldn't help but exclaim, "The wine is not afraid of the deep alley, so I should continue to operate it."
The woman walked over with a smile and said, "Cooks, we chose the best in Beijing, the wine is the best, and we don't charge much money. Unfortunately, the good areas in the city are not worth buying or renting, so we can only end up in a miserable way."
"If you don't have a good location, you can promote it. You can spread flyers everywhere and try out any free trials, so there will naturally be more people coming here." Liu Yu drank a few glasses of wine, and it seemed that he was talking.
“Flyer? Try it?”
The woman was a little confused about what Liu Yu said, and widened her eyes and couldn't figure out what she said.
Liu Yu smiled and asked the woman to sit down. The two of them sat opposite the table. Liu Yu poured her a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Propaganda, as the name suggests, is to find someone to go out to promote the wine and food of this restaurant, so that others will know. The flyer is to write the characteristics of the restaurant on paper, print many copies, and find someone to distribute it. Most people who get the flyer, and if they don't want to come, they will throw it away directly. They can do some gimmicks, such as using the flyer to patronize the 20% discount, or... "
"Young man, wait, that 20% off..."
Only then did Liu Yu realize that he was speaking too quickly, and some of them were not existing nouns, and women might not understand.
"The 20% off means that the original 100% of the money was charged, but now it is only 80% of the money, which means 20% of the money. People are picking up small gains. I heard that there are advantages to take advantage of it, so I have to come and have a look. Besides, it is easier to try it for free. You can set one or two free dishes every day, and you can taste it for free regardless of whether the customers come or not. Although you may feel that it was a loss at the beginning, this small investment is worth it for long-term repeat customers in the future."
The woman was almost stunned at first, but she had business experience. Although many of the business strategies that Liu Yu said had not appeared in this year, she understood after careful consideration and understood the secrets of the period.
The woman quickly walked to the stairs and ordered: "Shopkeeper Yu, I told the kitchen to cook a few more good dishes. I want to have a good chat with this young master."
Liu Yu was rarely appreciated by such a smart female store owner. The two of them drank tea and the other one. Liu Yu also began to talk about his business.
In fact, these are all simple. I feel a little drunk. I am full of wine and food. I was treated for free once, but I reciprocate a lot of tricks. I guess it will take a long time for the woman to look back.
"Young master is really knowledgeable. Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years."
Before leaving, the woman personally sent Liu Yu downstairs, and her words were quite respectful.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from the street from afar: "...I said that the garden I bought was beautiful and the scenery was good. I turned around and raised the attic one floor. I called Brother Liu. The four of us went up to drink and recite poems together. That was really a joy..." As we spoke, the familiar voice entered the restaurant, "Lao Yu, should you cook some good dishes for me before the business is closed... Oh! Brother Liu!? Ha, sister, are you here too?"
