Ancient Buddhist Life

In order to open the business smoothly, Hu Ziyi has been so busy outside that he doesn't even have time to drink water, let alone have time to eat with the little ones. Every night when he returns at night, they are already asleep.

Seeing that the restaurants and shops were going to open tomorrow, Hu Ziyi couldn't sleep, he lay on the bed tossing and turning, wondering if that game would really attract people.

No matter how entangled Hu Ziyi was, the sun in the east rose on time, and the soft light shone on the earth, shining on the bustling pedestrians on the street.

Residents on the North and South Streets were very excited this morning. They got up early and lined up at the door of the store that was about to open, fearing that they might miss out on the prizes.

After all, three days ago, there were many little beggars on the street distributing leaflets, and almost everyone who passed by these two streets got a point.

When I first got the leaflets, those people didn't pay much attention to me, but they didn't throw them away on the street because they had the mentality of taking them home and setting them on fire.

There was a good-natured person who looked at the colorful leaflet with pictures and texts boredly. He was stunned when he saw it. He didn't expect such a good thing. It said on the leaflet that one of the first 300 people will be given a free gift on the opening day. Five eggs, and those who spend more than one tael in the store can get a chance to draw a lottery. As for the prizes, they blind everyone's eyes. Two and three two.

"Oh, I'm afraid the owner of this shop is not a fool, but he would do such a loss-making business."

Soon the news spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, and many people living in the East and West Streets also began to hang out on the North and South Streets. Whenever they saw little beggars handing out leaflets, they immediately surrounded them, eager to snatch them all.

Because people have the bad nature of being greedy for petty gain, Hu Ziyi's shop and restaurant were on fire before they opened, and people coming and going kept watching on the street every day. The painters should move quickly, so as not to affect the normal business operation.

Hu Ziyi and a few old masters who happened to pass by on inspection, hid in the corner and did not show up, fearing that they would not be recognized and would not be able to leave.

The masters made fun of Hu Ziyi, laughed and made a fuss for a while, and then looked at each one after the crowd dispersed.

Afraid of delaying the auspicious opening of the business, Hu Ziyi called his younger brothers and sisters early, changed each of them into newly made clothes, filled their stomachs briefly, and took the whole family out.

Hu Ziyi and the others went to the restaurant first. Since there were too many people queuing outside the door, if Housekeeper Zhou hadn't asked people to wait outside early and lead them through the back door, they might not be able to squeeze in.

Hu Zixin was a little excited, looked at the crowd outside through the door, and said cheerfully: "Brother, there are so many people! There are more people than in my hometown, which means that I can earn a lot of money."

Hu Ziyi pinched Hu Zixin's earlobe, "There were activities in the first three days, so so many people came to join in the fun, and there will be fewer people after the event. How can money be so easy to earn?"

When Hu Zixin heard that there was not much money, his face was a little unhappy, but he said cleverly: "I believe that big brother will definitely earn a lot of money."

Hu Ziyi smiled and said, "I would like to borrow your good words."

"Open the door! The auspicious time has come." Zhou Butler reminded at the right time.

Hu Ziyi nodded, "Okay."

The newly recruited Xiaoer from the restaurant was waiting at the side, cleverly carrying several strings of firecrackers, and when the door of the restaurant opened, he immediately went out and lit the firecrackers.

"Guest officers, the restaurant with good wine and good food has opened." Butler Zhou personally announced the opening of the restaurant outside the door, and arranged for the people outside who couldn't wait to enter the restaurant in an orderly manner.

Jin Lin, who was in the first place, was a guest at the Chonghuacheng restaurant last time. It is a good thing that he has something to do in the capital these few days. He heard that there was a newly opened restaurant. When he asked the name, he immediately remembered that restaurant. On the opening day, his servants came to line up with small benches in the middle of the night.

Jin Linkuo threw away a purse of silver and said, "Give me a portion of all the signature dishes in your restaurant, I have plenty of silver."

The waiter greeted him with a smile, "Guest officer, the shop has released a new kind of wine. It's not very strong, but it's good for health. I don't know if I can have a pot."

Jin Lin became interested and asked, "White wine?"

Shop waiter: "It's not white wine. This wine is called wine. It is suitable for all ages. The guest officer can also take it home as a gift to a wife at home. Drinking this wine can beautify your skin. If you drink it before going to bed, it can also help you sleep."

Jin Lin made a decision immediately, "Take a pot and try it. If it's really good, I'm taking a few pots home to give to my family."

The waiter in the shop responded excitedly, brought the jug of lemonade specially prepared in the restaurant, poured a glass for Jin Lin himself, and asked him to wait a while.

Jin Lin took a sip of the lightly scented water, tasted it slightly, it was a bit sour but not disgusting, he drank three cups in a row, if the dishes he ordered were not served one after another, he would probably be full of water, No stomach to taste the dishes anymore.

Looking at the fragrant dishes in front of him, Jin Lin salivated, he quickly grabbed a piece of fish and took a bite, it was so tender and smooth that he couldn't stop eating with his chopsticks.

After tasting all the dishes one by one, Jin Lin agreed in his heart, and felt that his trip was not wrong, and he was glad that he had listened to it in Chonghua City, otherwise he would have missed such delicious food in vain.

The praises in the restaurant came one after another, and many old gourmets were full of praise, and people kept calling Xiao Er to order again.

The people waiting outside smelled the fragrance from inside, rubbed their rumbling stomachs, and kept urging Xiao Er outside the door to let him go in to see how long it would be their turn.

Xiao Er smiled and gave the people in line outside a few peanuts secretly made by the restaurant to calm their excited emotions.

I have never experienced eating and snacks, and the people in line are even more determined to

Come in and have a meal, otherwise how can you be worthy of the generosity of the restaurant.

The restaurant's business was booming as expected, and Hu Ziyi didn't stay here for a long time. After the opening, they moved to a shop on South Street that opened later.

The line outside the door on the South Street side was even longer than that of the restaurant. After all, the consumption of the restaurant is not low, but each of the shops has its own advantages and disadvantages. There are all kinds of prices, targeting all kinds of consumer groups.

Zhou Xu, who was already waiting outside the door, immediately went up to meet Hu Ziyi and his party when they appeared, and led them through the specially left passage.

The smiles on the faces of Hu Ziyi and the others never stopped, and the opening was successfully in time for the auspicious time. Zhou Xu asked Xiao Er to move out the lucky draw box and eggs that he had prepared earlier, and put them on the mahogany table outside the door.

The people at the front of the line never took their eyes off the table. They listened impatiently to Zhou Xu announcing the rules. They only hated that the time passed so slowly. All they cared about was eggs and silver.

As soon as Zhou Xu's voice fell, the young and old in line started to ask, "Shopkeeper, when will the eggs start to be distributed? Are we still waiting for the lucky draw?"

"It's about to start, everyone line up, there are all the top three hundred." Zhou Xu turned his head and asked the two waiters, one to register and the other to distribute eggs.

The people who were waiting early in the morning looked at the eggs in their hands, and they didn't need money to say compliments, while those who came for the lottery rushed into the shop, wanting to quickly spend a tael of silver to draw the lottery.

Hu Ziyi bought three connected shops this time, and two of them opened up a supermarket, where he could buy all kinds of things.

The people who entered the shop were all dazzled. They had bought supplies in the grocery store before, and it was the first time they saw such rows of shelves full of all kinds of goods. They were at a loss, not knowing what to do. buy that.

Fortunately, Hu Ziyi has already sold a group of people, and specially trained them to be shopping guides. There are two people in front of each shelf, so that they can not only be guides, but also watch out to prevent people from stealing.

Many of the shelves are the necessities of ordinary people. Oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar are cheaper than those sold outside. Many people focus on this place. Almost every one of them collects a tael of silver, and immediately goes to the cashier to pay. silver.

It was the first time I saw people in three places to collect money, and I was shocked again, whispering constantly.

"This Huji store is really unprecedented. Today I have opened my eyes."

"No, when I go back, I will definitely show it off and let my old man say that I am whimsical, and there will be no pie in the sky."

"That's right. Fortunately, I didn't listen to my family, otherwise I would regret it to death."

The store was very lively, occasionally accompanied by cheers of who won the prize, and the noise inside attracted more people who were originally just watching outside.

The other shop is very elegantly decorated, and the shopkeepers in it, including apprentices, are all women. They wear uniform attire, guide those ladies and ladies who come here especially for their names, and occasionally hold them in their hands. Try out the products in the store.

A young woman of sixteen or seventeen, with two personal maids, carried a lot of rouge and gouache in her hand. She seemed to be very satisfied with the things in the store, and kept asking the female apprentices who led them to recommend many fresh ones. product.

The female apprentices are happy, knowing that every product they sell has a commission, and when their personal performance reaches 1000 taels, they can become regulars and have the possibility of being promoted.

Hu Ziyi led his three younger brothers around the two shops, squeezed out the crowd to breathe outside, but he didn't want to but saw Hu Yilai and Mao Yurong happened to be not far away, their posture was obviously coming this way.

The three little ones who also noticed Hu Yilai nervously tugged at the corner of Hu Ziyi's clothes, and whispered, "Brother, why is he here? Is he coming to make trouble again?"

Hu Ziyi patted the heads of the three of them, "It's okay, big brother is here, even if he wants to make trouble, it depends on whether I agree or not."

San Xiaozhi nodded, but physically resisted, not wanting to face Hu Yilai.

Hu Yilai talked and laughed with Mao Yurong like a peach blossom, not at all as stiff as before, and they even greeted Hu Ziyi as if nothing had happened.

"Zi Yi, I heard from my father-in-law that you opened your shop today, so I'll bring your Aunt Mao to support you. Why are you such a child, and you didn't inform your next father in advance?"

Hu Ziyi came as soon as he opened his mouth, but it was a pity that he spoke nicely, but the hostility in his eyes was too strong, which made Hu Ziyi extremely disgusted.

Hu Ziyi's face was as cold as frost, "Ex-General Hu, is the cell comfortable? It's hard to get out, and I want to take a five-day tour of the cell for myself, and go back to visit my former cellmates?"

"You...you will hold grudges when you are young, but there is no reason for a father to argue with his son, why don't you invite your elders to go around." Hu Yilai's blurted words were comforted by Mao Yurong Living.

Hu Ziyi didn't want to continue dealing with Hu Yilai, so he directly asked the hidden guards hiding in the crowd to drive them away.

Hu Yilai obviously came prepared and brought a lot of guards. Under their protection, he looked at Hu Ziyi fearlessly, "Boy, this is just the beginning. If you don't invite us in today, These guards will go in and take care of those who buy things for you, and let them know that not all stores can buy them."

Hu Ziyi said neither in a hurry nor in a hurry: "Hu Yilai, does Old General Mao know that you are so arrogant? Don't worry, the old man will come later, I invited him to get together."

"Master Yue Shan is the most sensible, and he will definitely not embarrass Xiao Yan." Hu Yilai didn't frown at all, looking confident.

Hu Ziyi frowned, the two were at loggerheads outside the shop, and neither was willing to give in.
