Datang Nongwang

Chapter 88 The Cry of the Literati

Compassionately puzzled.

I can only keep it in my heart, and come back to take a good look at the changed Chang'an City when I have time.

Afterwards, after the scribes had passed away, they headed towards the imperial city.

For this trip, Xinxin is naturally going to Taichang Temple.

At this time, in the Yingbin Building in Pingkangfang, Qi Huo was arranging today's affairs, "Listen everyone, from today onwards, I have been instructed by the old lady to be the shopkeeper of the Yingbin Building, and to the steward for the The second shopkeeper, the matters in the lobby are handled by the second shopkeeper, and the back kitchen and purchases are handled by me."

Start today.

The old lady will not come to the Yingbin Building every day.

Instead, it's all up to Qihuo to talk about things.

Of course, the steward Xiang is also one of the speakers, but he only takes care of the affairs of the lobby, after all, his surname is Xiang.

Xiang Guanshi's name is Xiang Zhong, which means loyalty.

He is a cousin of the old lady who is still in the fifth service, so he is close to the water.

"Remember what I told you yesterday and what I explained. As soon as our Yingbin Building opens, each person will be in charge of a table. As for the pavilion on the second floor, every two people will be in charge of a table. If you have any questions, report them directly to the second shopkeeper." Qi Huo spoke again.

After everything was arranged, everyone dispersed.

Wash vegetables that should be washed, and sweep that should be cleaned.

Each performs his duties in an orderly manner.

As it got closer to the opening time, there was already a long queue outside the Yingbin Building.

And those literati and poets are even more eager to go, they have already occupied the front seats, waiting for the opening of the Yingbin Building.

Not long after, the gate of the Yingbin Building opened wide.

Qi Huo and Xiang Zhong came out with all the guys.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, starting today, the Yingbin Building will implement a membership system, that is, a VIP system." Xiang Zhong apologized to the diners in line as soon as they came out.

Of course, those who speak are not Qihuo.

Although he is the big shopkeeper, he only talks to the inside and not to the outside world, so the second shopkeeper, Xiang Zhong, is the one who speaks. After all, he represents the old lady, and it is even more important to have him speak.

When the leading scribes heard the word VIP, it sounded like they were very tall, and they asked Xiang Zhong, "Master Xiang, what is the VIP system?"

"Everyone, please take a look. This is the regulation of the VIP system in my Yingbin Building. If you don't want to or disagree, then I'm sorry. I will not entertain you in the Yingbin Building." Xiang Zhong smiled and turned to the guys behind waved.

Immediately, a few guys came out carrying a wooden sign and placed it on the side of the Yingbin Building.

After the wooden sign was placed, those scribes rushed to the wooden sign, wanting to see what the VIP system on the wooden sign was.

After the scribes roughly glanced at the regulations on the wooden sign, they suddenly took a deep breath.

One of the scribes headed by him, after seeing the so-called VIP system on the wooden sign, turned his head and scolded Xiang Zhong angrily: "You are stealing money! It is even more embarrassing to us literati. With such an expensive membership fee, you welcome guests!" Lou Ming clearly wants to prevent us literati from entering your Yingbin building to eat and drink!"

"That's right, the Yingbin Building just looks down on us literati, knowing that we literati don't have much money, so they came up with such a despicable idea."

"If you act like this, we will definitely expose your evil deeds to Yushitai."

As the leading literati spoke.

All the scribes rushed towards Xiang Zhong and the others, gathered together and angrily yelled at the people in the Yingbin building, even the buddies did not let them go.

But at this moment, Marquis Wu, who was patrolling the streets, had already noticed these literati.

recently.

Marquis Wu in Pingkang Square has more and more bad people.

From the opening of the Yingbin Building on the Dragon Boat Festival to today, it is overcrowded every day, and the line is always in the evening.

With so many people gathered near the Yingbin Building, Marquis Wu naturally had to keep an eye on them all the time.

At this time, Wu Hous saw those literati and inkmen shouting loudly, which made them nervous immediately, and quickly ran to the Yingbin Tower.

"Everyone, my Yingbin Building has never looked down on anyone. You are also literati, and you must be reasonable in your actions. The reason why I announced this membership system in Yingbin Building is because the Yingbin Building is too small and the place is not big enough. The diners who come to our Yingbin Building all line up in a very long line, for this reason, our Yingbin Building has established this membership system." Xiang Zhong was also very nervous at this time.

With so many scribes, if they really started to make a fuss, or beat him up, or even smashed the Yingbin building, he really had no place to reason.

Speaking of which, he also had some resistance to the membership system formulated by Li Chongyuan.

Is the restaurant business better?There must be some kind of membership system.

After hearing Xiang Zhong's words, those literati, although their words were not rough, still felt that the membership system was aimed at them, "What you said sounds good, the membership fee for dine-in is [-] guan, and the Xiangge is even more expensive. Hundreds of Guans, your Yingbin Building has opinions on us literati."

At this moment, hundreds of Marquis Wu rushed over.

Among Marquis Wu, a school lieutenant walked out and said with a big smile, "If you don't have money, you don't have to come to the Yingbin Building for dinner. If you don't have money, you dare to come to the Yingbin Building to eat wine. How much is your literati's face worth! In my opinion, you are only worthy of hanging out in the turret."

This Wuhou Xiaowei is Yuchi Baolin, the eldest son of Wu Guogong Wei Chi Jingde.

Speaking of which, Yuchi Baolin and Cheng Chumo can be said to be officials in the same dynasty, and both were Wuhou Xiaowei.

The two are still good friends, and they are also good friends of Li Chongyuan's second brother Li Chongxuan.

After all, the three of them can be said to be the captains of Marquis Wu, and they always get together to play around from time to time.

And today, it happened that he, Yuchi Baolin, was in charge of inspecting the Wannian County of Chang'an City.

Of course, he also came to Pingkang Square on purpose.

Yesterday, he got Li Chongxuan's promise that he would take him to the Yingbin Building for a big meal.

As soon as Yuchi Baolin's words fell, the literati immediately lost face when they heard it, feeling that Yuchi Baolin was saying that they were poor and poor.

Moreover, the lower turret that Yuchi Baolin mentioned was the most humble brothel in Pingkangfang.

This turret usually only entertains some ordinary people who have no money, or even entertains foreigners and some barbarians.

Yuchi Baolin's words were obviously a blow, and they hit these literati like underground stinky rats.

"Little General Yuchi, didn't your father teach you to be polite in your speech?" The leading scribe immediately said angrily when he heard Yuchi's words.

Yuchi Baolin immediately laughed again and said: "Haha, just you? What kind of morals do I need to keep. Oh, yes, just you, I seem to have seen you go to the turret in half a month, and because of I couldn’t pay the bill, so I was kicked out, what? Did you have money to come to the Yingbin Building today?”
