Take the mall to Datang

"Hahaha, what Brother Yuanshan said makes sense. I have already asked a few friends before this. I came here today to ask Brother Yuan how to print this pinyin rubbing into a book." Yu Jingming said.

"Oh, there's nothing wrong with this, why does your Yu family still have a business of printing books?" Yuan Shan asked.

Yu Jingming said with some embarrassment: "No, isn't this my father's job in the Ministry of Industry? There is such a convenient machine to rub the Chinese pinyin into a book, which can enrich the Datang Library and allow more people to read this book and master other things. content."

Yuan Shan understood, this Yu Shinan is still a master who cares about the country and the people, although this old man is a bit stubborn, but he also knows that these things are beneficial to Datang, so he let his son be the lobbyist.

"So that's the case, then print it, I have no objection." Yuan Shan said.

"However, I have a request." Yuan Shan continued.

"What request." Yu Jingming asked.

"This book requires the original manuscript copied by Father Yu," Yuan Shan said.

"This...well, I agree on behalf of my father." Yu Jingming said.

"Hahaha, brother Jingming is really cool. This is the first time I've come here today, why don't I show you how to get familiar with it?" Yuan Shan said.

Seeing Yuan Shan's hospitality, Yu Jingming immediately agreed.

While wandering in the small garden of the medical center, Yuan Shan said, "Brother Jing Ming, are you interested in working in my medical center?"

"Medical Center, what can I do here without medical skills." Yu Jingming asked curiously.

"You can come and teach. The medical center now offers painting courses. If Brother Yu's painting talent can be respected and loved as a painting teacher here, I guarantee that the income will be ten times that of the Ministry of Industry." Yuan Shan said.

Ten times the salary is not considered low. Yu Jingming hesitated a bit. He was busy in the court to get his qualifications. The few scholars he introduced had only been here for less than half a month. The salary offered by the Yuan family was quite High, it can satisfy them to go to Chunmanyuan to drink flower wine every day.

After hearing this, Yu Jingming was a little hesitant. To put it bluntly, a person like him who inherited his father's mantle was just selling some handicrafts in the imperial court, and his family was so-so in terms of how rich it was.

"Brother Jingming, don't worry, you don't need to resign. You can just hang up with me. In addition to salary, there are additional bonuses. As long as you come to the medical school every once in a while to give students a few painting lessons, that's fine. And I promise to hold a personal exhibition for you, as long as the number of works is sufficient." Yuan Shan said.

"Personal exhibition?" Yu Jingming asked doubtfully.

Later, Yuan Shan introduced the art exhibition to Yu Jingming, especially the feeling of being admired by others, which made Yu Jingming fall into a beautiful longing.

But in the end he was rejected by Yu Jingming, and Yuanshen could see that he was a little moved. The most important reason might be Yu Shinan, and the children of this kind of artistic family didn't have many choices.

Later, at Yu Jingming's request, Yuan Shan asked Yu Jingming to copy the detailed textbook of Chinese Pinyin, and the two separated.

At this time, when Yuanshan returned to the manor, it was almost dark. Meeting Yu Jingming today reminded him of printing. It is not cheap for scholars to buy a book. This is part of why the poor cannot afford to read. The reason is that book paper is too expensive for ordinary people to afford.

Yuan Shan sat in the study and wondered if he wanted to improve Datang’s papermaking and printing techniques. Now that cotton cloth is widely used in Chang’an, and has repeatedly seized the silk market, Zhicheng’s gauze can theoretically be used as a Silkscreen material.

It's just that there is not so much time now, and it will be September soon, and the first thing is that the Prince's "first floor" will open.

Chapter 375 Chang'an First Floor

On the last day of August, Yuanshan received an invitation from Prince Li Chengqian, and finally "the name of the first floor was decided, and it was called Chang'an First Floor". The address was in the center of Pingkangfang. A large courtyard is spliced ​​together, with many pavilions and clear pool water. The outside of the attic is an ordinary attic decoration, but the inside is unique.

As soon as the Yuan family's carriage came along, the service staff in charge of guiding the way immediately gave directions. The parking lot here in the restaurant is very unique, and it has two floors. It can be seen that the prince has ordered a lot of cement on it.

The garage is so big that Yuan Shan doubts that Prince Li Chengqian will build a bunker or something underground here. Given the prince's character, it is not impossible. From the underground stairs, you will go directly to Datang where guests are received. Very convenient.

The girls at the front desk were all carefully selected by His Highness the Crown Prince. Yuan Shan looked carefully at the cosmetics on the faces of those women. Just by smelling the smell, Yuan Shan knew it was from the Hepingfang Mall.

Moreover, the women selected by Li Chengqian and others were very well-proportioned, their uniforms were carefully designed, and their high-heeled shoes made a "tata" sound when they stepped on the ground.

"Welcome, what can I do for you." The standard opening speech of the reception.

"Where is the prince, take me to see him." Yuan Shan said.

"Okay, please come with me." Then the waitress took Yuan Shan into the special passage to the back hall. After opening two doors, a huge swimming pool came into view. Yuan Shan saw Accompanied by a group of singers and dancers, the prince and others played in the water there, and they seemed to be having a good time.

Turning around, he saw Chen Changshun shouting beside the prince. Yuan Shanxin said that Chen Changshun was really good, so he went with the prince. Yuan Shan came over and said, "The prince's downstream is a good skill, and the dragon's tail is wonderful."

Chen Changshun was in admiration for the face slapped on the horse stock. It was clearly a dog-planing style and turned up and down like a dragon wagging its tail. It is really rare for people to praise it so shamelessly, but Yuan Shan is one of them.

The prince was even more motivated to swim after hearing this. The children couldn’t help but boast. It’s the end of August, and the water in the pool is cooler. There are a group of people playing in the pool. Yuan Shan feels that this doesn’t look like an opening , which is more like having a party.

Rows of barbecue snacks, and a large group of service staff, this prince really knows how to enjoy it.

It took a while for Li Chengqian to come out of the pool, but these people were basically wearing shorts, which were too different from swimsuits to be considered beautiful at all, more like they were in a poorly managed place.

"Yuanshan, the first floor opened today, how lively is it?" Li Chengqian said.

"It's quite lively, and the service staff accounted for two-thirds. Who did you invite here? After watching for a long time, not many people knew each other." Yuan Shan said.

"These people were invited by them. You also know that my father is very opposed to extravagance, so no one from the court was invited." Li Chengqian said.

Yuan Shanxin said that the prince's contacts are mainly reflected in this big party, but today is just for self-entertainment, he is also drunk when he meets such a prince, but the problem still lies with his father, this prince is a dare to do things The only person who is afraid of him is Lao Tzu, and this cannot be changed.

"I understand. Since the people here are all from our own people, we should have more fun. Have you ever heard of water volleyball? How about water mahjong? Have you ever played diving..." Yuan Shan said.

The prince kept shaking his head. Whenever Yuan Shan mentioned a new way to play, Li Chengqian's curious eyes widened a little, so Yuan Shan was surrounded by the prince and others. Everything is very interesting.

So it didn't take long for a few more footballs to appear in the pool, and then they played water volleyball. The messy Daozi and others couldn't get tired of it, and Yuan Shan was boring as a referee.

Chen Changshun said from the side: "Yuan Shilang is very skilled, he can understand so many ways to play."

"It's all impromptu." Yuan Shan said casually.

Accompanying the prince and others for a noon time, we had the opening banquet. The banquet was in the form of a buffet, except for the shareholders of the restaurant and others who ate in the attic.

"Yuanshan, the exercises you mentioned today are very suitable for the 'first floor'. The prince has decided to use all these sports in the future, but now the weather is getting colder, and the swimming pool will not be used. What should I do?" the prince said. asked.

"It's good to use it as an ice rink in winter." Li Jingheng said, this is exactly what he said when he thought of the Yuanjia Ice Rink.

"The pool in the yard is like this. If you want to use the pool in all seasons, it is better to build an indoor swimming pool. The water temperature can be heated to the point where it can be used normally even in winter, but the cost will increase a lot." Yuan Shan said.

"Just do what you want, build an indoor swimming pool." Li Chengqian said.

"It's not too late to act too hastily at this time, or it's not too late to wait until the first floor is up and running." Yuan Shan said.

Everyone agrees with Yuan Shan's opinion. The food and drink are served quickly, and Yuan Shan is not polite. He is really hungry. After trying a few dishes, he feels pretty good. The taste is delicious. The most important thing to open a restaurant is the taste. Especially for high-end restaurants like the first floor, we must strive for excellence.

These are all recipes provided by Yuanshan, as well as Yuanjia’s thirteen-flavor seasoning. The recipes are provided free of charge, but the seasoning is not. There are also Yuanjia’s wheat starch, cornstarch, vermicelli, and gluten are the first in supply. Lou, in these details, Yuanshan still makes money as a supplier.

Such a good opportunity to start a business was missed like this. Is this how rich people are willful?

What Yuanshan didn't expect is that as long as there is something new in Pingkangfang, it will definitely spread the fastest, such as the opening of "Chang'an No. [-] Building", although there is no grand opening ceremony, but such a big brand There is no one who is not curious.

Publicity is more lively, but without publicity, it aroused the curiosity of many people, and the "first floor" immediately met the things that the ladies and sisters in Pingkangfang were talking about, especially the courtyards that had talked about cooperation. Work hard.

Soon the situation on the first floor was spread, and the most important thing was to emphasize the word "high-end". Talking about things on the "first floor" is definitely a very face-saving thing. The "first floor" is not an attic. Rather, it is a group that includes functions such as restaurants, hotels, and bars.

The most high-end place is that the doors and windows inside are all made of transparent glass, especially the pool in the garden has become a feature of the "first floor".
