Time Traveling: The Man and Wife Heads the House

As soon as the [-]th passed, the Mingxiang Teahouse posted a notice that it would start construction and renovation from now on, and it will be notified when it will reopen.In fact, even if the notice is not posted, as long as the passing guests see the busy construction scene of the teahouse, they will understand what is going on.

Zhang Chi gave both Cui Jingshun and Sun Zheng a vacation. Cui Jingshun was getting old and took this opportunity to take a good rest, but Sun Zheng was a little embarrassed.

"Zhang Chi, if there's no work to do, I, I'd better go?"

Zhang Chi stared, "Where are you going? You forgot what I told you before? There is no work in the teahouse, so you just take this opportunity to find a house, buy it or rent it, get it as soon as possible Okay, move in. You don't even have your own nest, where do you want Tweety to live with you?"

Seeing Sun Zheng's embarrassing expression, he muttered in a low voice, "He hasn't said he wants to marry me yet!"

Zhang Chi patted his head bitterly, "If you don't tell me, have you asked?"

"No."

"Isn't that enough? You are a man! If you don't take the initiative to propose a marriage, you still want to let the girls take the initiative?"

Sun Zheng rubbed his head, "I, I dare not ask. I'm afraid, afraid..."

Zhang Chi glared at him: "Look at how promising you are! All right, let's settle the house first, and then think about other things. If the money is not enough, I'll make it up for you."

Sun Zheng chuckled, "No, no need, I have money."

"Well, if you have money, hurry up and find a house. Come and help me after finding a house. Also, you have no place to live these days, so come to my place. There are only three houses in my place. You and Xiao An will sleep together."

Sun Zheng quickly said: "No need. Uncle Cui said he wants me to live in his house."

Zhang Chi thought, Cui Jingshun's daughter is married, and there are only old couples in the family. It would be good for Sun Zheng to live in the past, so they can take care of each other.

"Okay, since he told you to go, you go, don't let him down. Also, let Uncle Cui help you look into the matter of finding a house, don't let him cheat you."

"Ah."

Sun Zheng agreed to go.

Zhang Chi was depressed, he was obviously a few years younger than Sun Zheng, but he had to worry about him.

The renovation of the teahouse has attracted many guests to watch the excitement.Zhang Chi placed the tea table on the open space in front of the door, and took care of the construction on weekdays. When guests came, he would make a pot of tea and chat with them.

Sui Yuzhang smiled and said to Zhang Chi: "With your transformation, I can't find a place to drink tea and read books."

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "Mr. Sui, you are being polite. If you want to drink tea, where can you not get it?"

Sui Yuzhang was still upset, "I can drink it, but those teahouses are messy, and I can't sit down."

He seemed to have suddenly remembered something, approached Zhang Chi and whispered: "I heard that from this year onwards, there will be no opera troupe in Pinmingzhai, and a storyteller will be invited."

Zhang Chi gasped. He knew that many businesses would do anything to compete, but he didn't expect that someone would imitate his operation process so soon.

He smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Sui, I see."

Sui Yuzhang said angrily: "Don't worry, I've told a few regular customers that we will come to support you when you reopen your business. We've heard half of your story, and it's not bad. It's very uncomfortable. "

Zhang Chi was very sorry, "Don't worry, the teahouse will be renovated as soon as possible, and I won't keep you waiting."

"Well. That's good. By the way, do you still have the first book here?"

"This... I don't have any books here, it's all managed by Mr. He, I can ask for you."

"Great! Boss Zhang, to tell you the truth, the book I bought from you, the two children like it very much, and my wife reads a few chapters to them every day. My brother saw it and insisted on borrowing it. No, the two little guys are unhappy at home, so I ask you to buy books every day. Mr. He will trouble you."

"You're too polite. I heard Mr. He has already printed dozens of copies. I don't know if it's finished. I'll go and ask for you in a while."

Sui Yuzhang thanked him a series of times, "Boss Zhang, can your second book be published? If it is published, you must keep three copies for me, no, keep five copies!"

Of course Zhang Chi agreed, "I will release it when I finish speaking, and I will definitely keep it for you when the time comes."

"Thank you, thank you, it's too much trouble for you. I haven't seen your boss Gu for a long time. I heard that he will go to the test this year?"

"It's windy here, and Xihe is weak. I didn't let him come. The emperor specially added Enke, so he will go naturally."

Sui Yuzhang laughed and said, "Oh! Boss Gu has gone, so we have nothing to do."

"Mr. Sui is too modest, he is happy and young, so naturally he can't compare to you."

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Sui Yuzhang left.

Zhang Chi looked at his back, touched his chin, Pinmingzhai actually imitated the style of his own teahouse, and even found a storyteller?I don't know what story he is telling?I can go over and listen to it when I'm free someday.It seems that the competition in the future will be more intense!However, does this mean that the business model of his teahouse has been recognized by many people?

Zhang Chi does have some headaches, but he is not nervous. For a consumer place, the most difficult thing is to maintain one's own style, and on the basis of maintaining the style, do more innovations.Innovation is not a problem for him. After all, he has seen too many promotional methods of merchants in the real world. At worst, he will try every promotional method.

The construction of the teahouse was in full swing, the weather was beautiful, and it was sunny for half a month. The second-floor house was built several days earlier than expected.After painting the house, putting up wallpaper, buying furniture, and decorating the room, Zhangchi was busy for another seven or eight days, and the teahouse was completed ahead of schedule.

Gu Xihe looked at the teahouse lobby, which was nearly double the size of before, and felt that Zhang Chi's decision was right.The space in the lobby is larger now. Although the distance between the seats has only increased by half an arm's distance, it seems to have increased a lot, making people feel more comfortable.

Zhang Chi took his hand and went up the stairs to the second floor of the teahouse.At the end of the stairs, there is a corridor more than ten feet wide. In the middle of the corridor, there is a door next to the door of the first room, which blocks the situation inside.

Zhang Chi took him into the first room on the left, "This is a private room. After thinking for a long time, I decided to reserve this single room for guests. I'm afraid that if any guest wants to talk about some private topics, there is a place to go Go. Anyway, the space below us is large enough, and there are many rooms above, so leaving this room will not affect the overall operation of the teahouse."

Gu Xihe stood at the door and took a look. The decoration here was similar to the original private room, except that the floor was covered with a thick carpet.He knew it was for sound insulation, and nodded in agreement.

Through the door of the corridor, Zhang Chi led Gu Xihe into a room in the north, "This is a storage room for tea storage. You see, I designed these wooden frames myself and then asked a carpenter to make and install them." .”

The room was about two feet wide and three feet long, with three rows of wooden frames in the middle, and the top was empty, with nothing in it.On one wall, there is a row of low cabinets with doors below, the height of half a person, on which are placed three Liao pots and several Kuai pots.

Zhang Chi stepped forward and opened the door of the cabinet, and there were tea trays, teapots, and tea bowls inside.

"Usually tea sets can be placed here." He opened a row of hanging cabinets above, "Precious tea leaves are placed here, and I specially locked it."

Gu Xihe said with a smile: "There are only a few people from our teahouse who can enter this room, are you still afraid that someone will steal it?"

"That's right!" Zhang Chi rubbed his nose, "Anyway, be prepared! Let's go, I'll take you inside again."

Zhang Chi led Gu Xihe into another door. This room was much smaller than the one just now.There is a wooden cabinet inside, as well as a large round table and some chairs.

"This room is a storage room, put some sundries or something."

After speaking, Zhang Chi took Gu Xihe to the innermost room facing south.

Pushing open the door, Gu Xihe's eyes lit up, a large window was open, bright and warm sunlight came in, and fell on the bed not far from the window.The bed was covered with a bright red sheet, embroidered with patterns of dragon and phoenix showing auspiciousness.There are also quilts and curtains of the same color, which make the whole room present a beaming atmosphere.

There is a wardrobe standing on the wall next to the door, and there are several wooden hooks nailed on the wall next to it. He knows that these are for hanging clothes, because Zhang Chi also nailed a few on the wall of the bedroom at home, and made The wooden clothes support is really convenient.

Zhang Chi looked at Gu Xihe quietly, seeing that the expression on his face was unexpectedly calm, he couldn't help being anxious, "Xihe, what do you think of this place?"

Gu Xihe's face was reddened by the redness of the whole room, and he asked with a smile: "The decoration here is so festive, could it be that Sun Zheng is getting married?"

Zhang Chi unexpectedly thought of Sun Zheng, took him by the hand and took a step forward, letting him sit on the bed.

"Sun Zheng found his own house a long time ago. It's on the next street. There are two rooms with a small courtyard. The price is very cheap, only one tael of silver. Of course, the house is really dilapidated and dilapidated. It can only be regarded as I bought a piece of land. After we finished building the teahouse, Mr. Wang happened to be free, so I asked him to renovate Sun Zheng’s house. It’s almost over now, and Sun Zheng is cleaning it up! Wait for him to clean it up I'm going to give him the tables, chairs, benches and cabinets in the warehouse as gifts for his moving house."

Gu Xihe was also happy for Sun Zheng, "With a house and a wife, Sun Zheng can settle down here.

"Yes." Zhang Chi looked at the newly furnished room, then looked at Gu Xihe's face flushed by the room, and couldn't help feeling distracted.

He took a step forward, approached Gu Xihe, and said in a low voice: "Xihe, I don't remember when we were married, why don't we stay here and relive the old dream again?"

Gu Xihe's face was really red, his eyes dodged, "What about revisiting old dreams?"

“Revisiting old dreams is…”

Zhang Chi gently lifted his chin, bent down, kissed his lips lightly, and pushed him down on the soft big bed.

Gu Xihe was caught off guard, and quickly pushed him away, "Brother Chi, don't, the sky is still bright!"

"Don't be afraid, this is the second floor, no one can see it."

After Zhang Chi finished speaking, regardless of the struggling Gu Xihe, he kissed him again.She didn't let him go until she kissed him so breathlessly that her body became limp and unable to break free.

Knowing that Gu Xihe was shy, Zhang Chi got up and closed the doors and windows, and even drew the curtains.

When he returned to the bed, Gu Xihe had already sat up and was buttoning the last button on the skirt.He couldn't help praising himself for being smart, and unbuttoned him while he was in a daze, and he couldn't walk so fast even if he wanted to.

The button that Gu Xihe had just fastened was undone again, he knew that Zhang Chi would not let him go, at this moment he was also emotional, so he let himself fall into the instinct of his body.

If it wasn't for picking up Xiao An, Zhang Chi really wanted to just hold Gu Xihe in his arms until he grew old.

So what kind of child do you want?Children are all mistresses who destroy the relationship between husband and wife!

The teahouse was completely furnished, and it was already the end of February, but Gu Xihe found that Zhang Chi didn't think about reopening the teahouse, but started to pack his clothes and prepare to go out.

He asked puzzledly, "Brother Chi, where are you going?"

Zhang Chi took it for granted, "I will accompany you to Su County."

"Ah? Are you not opening a teahouse?"

"We'll start again when you come back from the exam."

"How can we do that? I heard that Pinmingzhai also has people telling stories, and they obviously regard us as opponents. In everything, it is said that the first strike is the best, and everyone is the first. Why don't we catch up? Brother Chi, Su I can go by myself, I don't need you to accompany me. If you are worried, I can go with Senior Brother Lu Zixiu."

Zhang Chi wanted to go with him because he didn't want him to go with Lu Zixiu. Moreover, he knew that Gu Xihe would not let him go, and he had already thought of a countermeasure.

He looked sad, "But, you have already agreed! Xihe, how can you not count your words?"

Gu Xihe looked up in surprise, "When did I promise you?"

Zhang Chi stepped forward to hug him, and said in a low voice, "On New Year's Eve, when you were leaning in my arms, I said that I would accompany you to the exam when the teahouse was renovated, but you didn't say no."

Gu Xihe was stunned, and it took him a while to recall the original situation.

"Have you said it? Why don't I remember? I... I was already asleep at that time, how could I promise you?"

"I don't care. If you don't object, you agree."

Gu Xihe smiled wryly, he was actually speechless.

Zhang Chi took the opportunity to bite his earlobe lightly, "Anyway, you agreed, if you don't take me, I'll go to my father and sue, saying that you backtracked, it's not a man's fault."

If it was a year ago, Gu Xihe felt that Gu Zuocheng would definitely not agree with Zhang Chi to accompany him, but now he is not sure, because now Gu Zuocheng values ​​Zhang Chi very much.And he always thought that he was weak, so maybe he would praise Zhang Chi for his good work!

In fact, he can understand Zhang Chi's thoughts, but he is just worried about him.If Zhang Chi went away for more than a month, he would be worried and wanted to go with him.

He sighed helplessly, "Okay, you go with me."

Zhang Chi fulfilled his wish, became more and more happy, and even more blatantly prepared to pack his luggage.

Gu Xihe watched him prepare a big bag with a headache, very depressed.

"Brother Chi, what is this?"

"This?" Zhang Chi followed his gaze, "A bag for carrying luggage!"

"It's so big? What are you pretending to be?"
