Chapter 115 In the Teahouse

"Okay." Du Jinning smiled.

Although Qi Muyuan didn't say anything, she could feel the worry and concern in his eyes.

Looking at Guan Jiaze and Zhang Hongwen, her heart warmed, and she said, "If we have nothing to do this afternoon, let's go and have a look, and draw up the paperwork for shareholding by the way."

"Okay." Everyone nodded.

After drinking and eating, everyone left just now.Before leaving, Guan Lehe told him again and again that if you need anything, just ask him or Dong Dacheng, you are welcome.

After seeing off the teacher and elders, the four young ones went to the teahouse.

These days, they don't pay much attention to decoration. Yuan An just asked someone to paint the walls, so that they don't look as dark as before, and then put a coat of paint on the tables and chairs, which means that the teahouse has been refurbished.The biggest project was to bury the four urns.At this time, two large pits were dug on the high platform, and two urns were dug in each. The excavated soil was piled aside and had not been buried yet. It was thought that the construction would start after Du Jinning came to see it.

"Master Du, do you think this is okay?" Yuan An asked.

"I'll give it a try." Du Jinning walked to the stage, pointed to the three people who were staring at him with wide-open eyes, and said a Beijing opera recitation learned from "The Mansion Gate", "Look at the black hole in front of you. It's the thief's lair, wait for me to catch up and kill him completely..."

The following three people, oh, no, it was four people, plus Yuan An who was standing on the steps and was about to go on stage, all of them looked at Du Jinning in a daze.Everyone didn't expect this kid to have such a skill, and when they realized it, "Hahaha", everyone burst out laughing.Even Qi Muyuan, who never smiled much, laughed out loud.Guan Jiaze was the weirdest, clutching his stomach and screaming "Aiyo".

"You kid, I didn't expect you to have the talent to sing big plays." Guan Jiaze pointed at Du Jinning and laughed again.

Du Jinning rolled his eyes and directed Zhang Hongwen: "Brother Zhang, you stand at the gate." He also called Qi Muyuan, "You go behind and stand against the wall."

"What about me, what about me?" Seeing Du Jinning ignoring him, Guan Jiaze yelled like a child.

"Just stand there and don't move. Yes, don't move. If you move, you will lose." Du Jinning pointed at him.

Guan Jiaze just had a bet with Liang Xiankuan yesterday, and he is most sensitive to winning or losing, so he didn't ask any further questions, so he quickly stood there.

Du Jinning suppressed his laughter, turned his face sternly, and took the gavel that Yuan An moved aside to pat: "Guest officers, I will tell you a book today called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" It is said that there is a Niujia Village outside Lin'an City, where dozens of households live, one of them is Guo Xiaotian, the other is Yang Tiexin, and they are sworn brothers. On this day, a Taoist named Qiu Chuji came..."

She spoke impromptu, then stopped abruptly.

The four under the stage stood there again in a daze.But Guan Jiaze didn't laugh this time, but asked: "What else? Why don't you continue?"

Du Jinning rolled his eyes at him: "Reward first! If there is no reward, how can I have the strength to tell a story?"

"Coax", everyone laughed again.

This time, Qi Muyuan smiled even more happily.If the previous smile was just a smile showing eight teeth, this time it was a big grin.

Seeing his young master's appearance, Yuan An laughed with everyone, his eyes could not help but feel astringent.

Du Jinning pointed to Qi Muyuan and asked, "Did you hear it just now? Did you hear it clearly?"

With a smile still on his face, Qi Muyuan nodded vigorously; "I can hear you, very clearly."

"What about you? Brother Zhang, what about you?" Du Jinning asked Zhang Hongwen again.

Zhang Hongwen nodded: "I heard it very clearly."

Du Jinning was satisfied.

Just now she was only talking at a normal volume, and Zhang Hongwen who was standing at the door could hear it clearly, which shows that the sound amplification effect of this urn is still good.

Although she has a child's voice, her voice is thinner, not as deep as that of an adult man.But Mr. Storyteller's voice has been practiced, and his breathing has its own method, which can transmit the sound farther, which is not comparable to her small voice.She could hear all of this, so there was no need for the storyteller's voice.

"Uncle Yuan, you can ask someone to bury that soil." Du Jinning said.

Yuan An had been staying in the teahouse these days, so he naturally knew that there was a difference between burying the urn and not burying the urn. He had long admired Du Jinning and praised her in front of Qi Bokun again and again.Seeing that Du Jinning was also satisfied now, he nodded in response: "Okay."

"Where's the sofa? Uncle Yuan, didn't you say the sofa is ready? Where is it?" Guan Jiaze asked.

"The villain has ordered someone to move it just now, and he will be here soon." Yuan An said.

As soon as he finished the topic, there was a loud voice outside the door: "Take it easy, slow down, don't worry, don't touch it."

Immediately afterwards, four tall men came in one file at a time, each carrying a sofa, and Zhang Hongwen hurried out of the way.

Seeing Qi Muyuan standing by the wall, the leader squatted down slightly, and called out: "Master." Turning around, he asked Yuan An, "Where to put it?"

"Put it here?" Yuan An pointed to the front area, but instead of answering the guard's question, he asked Du Jinning.

Seeing that Du Jinning nodded, he quickly instructed those people: "Come on, come here, put one here and one here."

Du Jinning hurriedly got down from the stage, asked the four of them to separate each sofa, and asked Yuan An, "Only four?"

"No, there are four more, outside." Yuan An ordered the guards to move the other four inside.

Considering the self-importance of those rich lords, Du Jinning did not make a couch for so many people to sit on, but a single sofa.The eight sofas are arranged in two rows, staggered front and back, and each sofa is equipped with a small square table in front and a small stool at the side and rear.This is for the gentlemen's servants.According to respect, the master sits and the servants should stand, but don't they stand to block the guests behind?So it needs a small stool.

After setting up the sofa, and then taking out the cushions that Yuan An asked the embroiderers to make, the area in the middle suddenly looked high-end and upscale.

Guan Jiaze ran to sit down in front of the sofa, and was too comfortable to get up: "Hey, this sofa is so good, it's so comfortable, and my legs and waist don't have to be so tired. No, I have to ask someone to come to the bedroom and the study. open."

Yuan An said with a smile: "There are too many. According to Young Master Du's instructions, we have done a lot. You can move as many lines as Young Master Guan wants."

Du Jinning said to Yuan An: "You ask someone to build a railing here to isolate this VIP area, so that people in the front row behind will not bump into the VIPs."

At this time, Yuan An's admiration for Du Jinning increased a lot, and he naturally replied without a word: "Okay, Young Master Du."

"I don't know where there is something inappropriate, but the villain did it together." He humbly asked for advice.

Du Jinning looked around and shook his head: "That's it."

The sofas in the middle took up space, and the capacity of the teahouse was small, so she could completely imitate the chairs with foldable tables.But this is a teahouse, as long as the customers don't leave, you can't drive them away. The chairs are so comfortable that some customers can sit with a cup of tea for a whole day, so isn't she losing money?Therefore, this kind of bench without backrest is the most suitable.

"Let's go, let them do things, let's go inside and formulate the regulations." Du Jinning said.

A group of people entered the room.

After Yuan An served tea and snacks for everyone, and sat down, Du Jinning asked him, "How much did you spend for this teahouse, including buying and repairing, plus the sofas and other items outside?"

Yuan An took out the ledger and put it in the middle of the table: "Young masters, take a look, a total of 180 taels of silver was spent."

Du Jinning opened it, glanced at it, passed it to Guan Jiaze who was sitting beside her, and said, "When the time comes, we still need to buy snacks and pay the storyteller a monthly salary. We need 15 taels of working capital. Let us consider this teahouse as an investment of 200 taels." Two silver coins, what do you think?"

Both Guan Jiaze and Qi Muyuan are rich young masters, and they have never had to worry about money since they were young.In addition, I am young, still studying, and have never taken care of the family's business, so I don't know anything about these things.Zhang Hongwen was even more so. As an authentic farmer, Du Jinning brought him to participate in the operation of this teahouse, which seemed to open a door for him.

So everyone is fine.
