The Crossing of Fortune and Prayer Jubilee

In the evening, Lou Yuzhu approached Zhou Cheng again, intending to return the silver ticket to him and give him some dividends?

But Zhou Cheng didn't pick it up, meaning to let Lou Yuzhu put it away first, because Li Shang's addiction may come to him tomorrow.

Sure enough, the next day Li Shang came to the door early in the morning, eagerly dragging him to Gufenglou to have a hearty breakfast, and then set the card table as usual.

Pei Guanying looked at Li Shang, who was as thick-skinned as a city wall, and said angrily, "Yesterday, Brother Yu, if you show mercy, you'll lose all your pants, believe it or not?"

"I believe it!" Li Shang was not stupid either. He might not have thought of it at the time, but when he thought about it later, he found the way. "But I just can't control this leg, so I ran here on my own!"

"Do you still understand you?"

Li Shang wrinkled his face and acted pitifully.

Pei Guanying had nothing to do with him, so she had to set up a poker table, and said to Lou Yuzhu, "Brother Yu, why don't you teach them skills?"

Lou Yuzhu smiled: "That's a good time to catch up. I'll take a look at the store when I have time, and see if I can help." The hot pot restaurant will open tomorrow, and I'm sorry for those shares if I don't go to see it again. .

As soon as he heard that he could teach himself some tricks, no one from Li Shangyi had any objections.

Soon after the mahjong game started, Lou Yuzhu first taught Li Shang some card counting skills, followed by Sun Jin, Zhao You, and Liu Qi who didn't go to the table but listened to Lou Yuzhu's teaching skills.Because Pei Guanying's early contact skills were not bad, Lou Yuzhu watched a few rounds and felt that she had nothing to say, so she apologized and left the private room.

"Are you going to the hotpot restaurant, young brother? I will lead you the way." Hu Xiaoer was popularized by Hu Guanshi when he took office, covering all the contacts around Pei Guanying, and mentioned the third room of Lou's family. Treat it with sincerity, and you can't praise the high and trample the low.

Here I have to mention the address of the servants of the Great Yuan Dynasty to the master. The boy of the master's family called "Young Master", and the elder brother called "Young Brother". To address relatives and friends of the host’s family, the name is the same but usually the other party’s surname is added in front, such as Lou’s family, if others want to call him Lou Da Young Master, Lou Er Young Master, they should also call him “Lou Shao Brother” right.However, there are also those who don't call their surnames, which means closeness.

Someone called him the younger brother to show his closeness, Lou Yuzhu would not push it away, looked at him kindly and asked with a smile: "Are you the boy of the second brother? It seems that the surname is Hu?"

Hu Xiaoer hurriedly saluted: "The youngest one is surnamed Hu, if the young brother sees it, he will call him Xiaoer."

Later, Huang Ying hurriedly handed over a red envelope, and Lou Yuzhu took Saihu Xiao's second-hand bag: "There will be a lot of trouble in the future, please don't dislike it."

Hu Xiaoer did not answer the red seal but accepted it, and the smile on his face became more and more sincere: "Thank you, young brother, for the reward." Put away the red seal, lead the way and send the people to the carriage, and then instruct the driver to go The hot pot restaurant is rushing.

Limited by her thoughts, Lou Yuzhu proposed to call it 'Mutton Hot Pot Restaurant', which was rejected by Zhou Cheng, and took a bunch of 'Juxianlou' and 'Juxinglou'. Finally, Pei Guanying decided to name it 'Xinyilou', which means The hot pot is originally delicious, and the roast duck and roast chicken sold after the beginning of summer are also delicious, so the name implies, and it fits the occasion!

Still far away, Lou Yuzhu saw the big house number.Over the past month, Lou Yuzhu and Zhou Cheng have exchanged letters, sometimes discussing countermeasures and sometimes discussing the changes of the refurbished furniture. Although he did not adopt all of his opinions, he is still familiar with many scenes after entering it.

As soon as someone came in, the shopkeeper who was busy at the counter hurriedly greeted him, nodded and bowed his head and apologized: "I'm sorry, young man, the store will only open tomorrow."

The shopkeeper was newly hired and didn't know him, but Zhou Cheng did recognize the accountant he bought at the tooth shop before. "I've met Brother Lou." Afterwards, he told the shopkeeper about the relationship between the third house and the downstairs family. Of course, the other party didn't say anything about Lou Yuzhu's shareholding.

Lou Yuzhu waved her hands to signal the shopkeeper that there is no need to be polite, and asked, "Is Brother Zhou here?"

"Yes, my boss is in the backyard accountant. The younger one will lead you the way."

The accountant led the way to the backyard. Zhou Cheng was planning the ingredients for the opening tomorrow. When Lou Yuzhu came, he put down the list in his hand. "Why didn't you play mahjong?"

"Second brother and the others are fighting, let me see if there is anything I can help. By the way, where are my elder brother and the second brother?"

"I went shopping, I said I didn't enjoy my shopping yesterday."

"Then let them do it." Said, leaned in front of him and picked up the list: "These are the ingredients for tomorrow? Hey, is there beef?"

"I thought it would be best to prepare all the ingredients for the opening, so I made a connection through the young master."

"The food village should be fully prepared for the opening." Lou Yuzhu looked at the list, poultry and the like are complete, game, rabbit meat, venison and roe deer meat are available, and there are a lot of vegetables and fruits. "Are these vegetables grown in Zhuangzi? How long can they last?"

The experiment of off-season vegetables was successful, but because of lack of experience and few finished products, it is impossible to supply Xinyilou without interruption. "It can be provided for half a month at most, and then it will be cut off for a month. This still counts the ones that haven't grown."

"We are taking the high-end route, and the less out of stock this happens, the better." Lou Yuzhu thought for a while: "Our family's vegetables grow, Brother Zhou will send someone to come and pick them up quickly, and I have The method of growing bean sprouts, some mung bean sprouts, soybean sprouts or something, should be able to survive.”

"Success, I'll do as you said." After the supply of goods was settled, Zhou Cheng relaxed halfway, and then discussed some trivial matters. When Lou Hua and Lou Ming, who went shopping crazy, came back, the group went to Gufeng Building to eat again. lunch.

After lunch, Lou Yuzhu went to the table to play mahjong all afternoon, rested overnight and the next day was the opening day of Xinyilou.

At this time, the effect of Pei Guanying's half-month relationship came out. There was an endless stream of people passing by in horse-drawn carriages. Those who knew each other would naturally want to get acquainted with each other, and those who didn't know would naturally want to come in when they saw so many wealthy people cheering. Give it a try, and you won't be able to stop after trying it!

As soon as it opens, one table will come after another, and the lunch will not be finished until the hour of Yin.Lou Yuzhu calculated the list of ingredients and knew that there must be not enough ingredients for the night, so she wrote down the missing ingredients and went directly to Zhou Cheng who was doing the accounting. "The account can be rescheduled at night, and the most important thing is to make up for the missing ingredients now!"

Zhou Cheng knew the importance, and immediately led the people to purchase as soon as the abacus was released.

Lou Yuzhu took Zhou Cheng's half-finished account, signed the pen with the accountant, and then went up to the second floor and entered the large private room in the middle.Pei Guanying was chatting with Li Shangyi when she saw Lou Yuzhu come in and waved to him, "Brother Yu, come quickly and give advice to Brother Li, he is envious of Xinyilou's business!"

Li Shang waved his hands hurriedly: "Brother Yu, don't trust Second Brother Pei, I'm just worried that I haven't achieved anything so far, and I don't have the business of Xinyi Building." Looking at the popularity of Xinyi Building in the afternoon, Li Shang was not without envy.Zhou Cheng is only half a month older than him, but he is able to challenge Xinyilou on his shoulders. Even though there is their relationship between them, his ability and skill are undeniable. As the prefect son, he has achieved nothing so far. Even though he was born as a servant Even Zhou Cheng can't compare to him, it's just a bit disappointing to think of it.

Last night, the identities of the four Li Shang were popularized. They are all the second sons of the powerful families in Nanyang City. Family sacrifices and so on, you don't have to worry about the family's mission, and you don't have to worry about where the money will come from. Over time, you get used to this kind of idleness and habit of eating, drinking and having fun.He's not a bad guy, but he's not the kind of good guy with a strong sense of benevolence, benevolence, mission, and responsibility. At best, he's an idler in a gray area!

Lou Yuzhu moved to the side, took a sip of tea from Huang Ying and said with a smile, "Speaking of ideas, I really have one here. I'm afraid Brother Li doesn't have the perseverance to do it."

"Really? Tell me quickly."

Sun Jinyi and the others also pricked up their ears.

"Brother Li likes mahjong, doesn't he? Why don't we open a mahjong lounge, where we can eat and play mahjong together, so that people who like mahjong can make friends with mahjong, wouldn't it be the best?"

"Playing mahjong is a gamble," Li Shang shrank his neck. His father knew that he might be able to beat him and he couldn't take care of himself!

"Although mahjong is gambling, it's also a good casual game, isn't it? It's not a pleasure to play mahjong and chat about interesting things from all over the world, whether it's young or old. Besides mahjong, brother Li can also play some games." Other leisure and interesting things, such as fishing, playing chess, drinking tea and so on," Lou Yuzhu gave an idea referring to the modern leisure resort integrating entertainment and leisure, of course the most important thing is mahjong. "Mahjong, which is more entertainment than gambling, will definitely be liked by many people. It will be accepted by the whole Nanyang Prefecture. Brother Li's mahjong parlor can be used as a place to promote mahjong. Once Mahjong Daqian in Nanyang City set up the title of "Mahjong King" with a lot of money, not afraid that people will flock to him. When Mahjong Daqian becomes famous, people who like mahjong from all corners of the world will definitely come to participate. Doesn’t the continuous flow of weaving and wearing drive the entire commercial economy?”

Li Shangyi was dumbfounded, and stammered for a long time: "Why is this matter as simple as eating and drinking when it comes to Brother Yu?"

"This is just a general plan, and there will definitely be many small problems in the actual operation." Lou Yuzhu pursed her lips and smiled: "Just think about it, Brother Li, the world's hatred of gambling is nothing more than the possibility of too many hidden operations. Brother Li may not be hated by people as long as he is fair, notarized and open when he opens a mahjong leisure hall and organizes Daqian."

"A profit?"

"There must be a profit. You can charge rental fees, private room usage fees, tea fees, snack fees, service fees, etc. for playing mahjong. You can also eat on the spot without leaving the venue. The fees for each item are not too expensive. It’s pretty impressive.”

Zhao You thought for a while and said, "Then it's better to fight at home."

Lou Yuzhu laughed again, and said: "Any entertainment game needs a range of entertainment, and people's interest will be higher with the range of entertainment!"

After hearing this, Pei Guanying thought that if the mahjong parlor opened, it would be the best place to collect information and gather contacts, but this is Nanyang City, not Shangjing, and no matter how good the information collection is, it would be useless to him, so he might as well sell favors to Zhifu Li along the way.Yi Yi persuaded Li Shang: "Don't you like playing mahjong? Wouldn't it be more interesting to gather people who like to play mahjong from all over the world?"

Li Shang touched his head.People of their identities have to take into account more factors than those with no family background if they want to do something. If they act recklessly, they will bring disaster to the family, and there is no place to cry! "I'll go back and ask my brother to see what he says."

Li Shang's eldest brother is Li Yue, the eldest son of Li Zhifu and the successor of the Li family in the future. Judging from his behavior in dealing with people, he is a man with a rough heart, so he must be able to think of the benefits of opening a mahjong lounge.Thinking of this, Pei Guanying glanced at Lou Yuzhu, and wondered in his heart whether this was on purpose, or was he doing it in a wrong way, just to open a mahjong lounge?If it was intentional, where did he, a little brother from a farmer's family, have the courage?If it is a crooked hit, isn't it too coincidental?
