Chapter forty-eight couplets
"Is Xiao Lang satisfied with this dish?" Boss Xu's fat face smiled and it looked even more like Goubuli buns.
Xu Qilin smiled and said, "I think it tastes very good. Mrs. Tang, what do you think?"
Tang Yiyi nodded and said, "The dishes are fresh and the taste is good. Seeing so many drinkers, you will know that Boss Xu's business is booming."
"Borrowing the auspicious words of my wife." Boss Xu smiled and complimented Xu Qilin. "The store can be so prosperous, all thanks to Xu Xiaolang's guidance. This, I came to ask Xiaolang to change the name of the store and give it to the deputy, that--"
"Couplets." Xu Qilin added, and waved his hand humbly, "I am talented and knowledgeable. I really dare not show my ugly appearance in this title. Boss Xu can invite a master's degree in famous scholars. Even if he is a candidate in Beijing, his talent is better than mine."
Boss Xu said seriously: "What famous scholars and masters are obscure and difficult to understand; the exam is so sore that they are too sad. The young man is very talented and knowledgeable, and he is thousands of times better than theirs."
After pausing, he whispered to Xu Qilin with a smile: "Xiao Lang is also half the owner of this restaurant. I wrote a couplet. How can I get someone else's turn?"
That’s right, Xu Qilin just obtained 30% of the restaurant’s shares yesterday. The money is from selling perfume.
After "Mantianxiang" was put on sale, because of its high price and others did not know the beauty, it has been missing for nearly two months.
But the day before yesterday, Haoke, who came from some unknown place, found the store, bargained for a moment, and bought all at 10% off. Buying them all refers to all the fragrance types and inventory in all sales points.
Xu Qilin adopts "hunger marketing", and the various fragrance types put on the market are only 200 bottles, small bottles and half of the bottles.
Xianglu was sold out and immediately earned two or three thousand yuan. According to the agreement with Boss Xu, not only Xu Qiguan became a rich man, but Boss Xu was also frightened by the fortune that he could not sleep at night.
Of course, Boss Xu's net worth would not be scared by this money. Instead, he saw the amazing prospects and Xianglu's huge profits.
Moreover, through Xu Qilin's guidance, Boss Xu has benefited a lot and has opened two branches. In addition, Xu Qilin has a good sister and is already an official, so his future looks very bright.
Therefore, in order to have a backer in the future, to get closer, and to continue to make a lot of money from the Xianglu industry, Boss Xu generously gave up 30% of the restaurant's dry shares.
In this way, Xu Qilin and Boss Xu are no longer partners who may terminate the contract and go their separate ways at any time, but are joint venture shareholders.
Xu Qilin accepted these 30% of his shares with pleasure, but he did not take it for nothing, but paid for a house next to the restaurant, sent craftsmen to transform it, preparing to expand the scale and innovate operations.
Therefore, Boss Xu was both complimenting and flattering to ask Xu Qilin to change the store name and write couplets.
After hearing what he said, Xu Qilin thought he could try it. If he didn't say anything, he would save money on hiring someone. But he was a shareholder and the restaurant saved money, it was also his own.
Tang Yiyi was born in a fairyland and was very good at observing her face. Seeing Xu Qilin's hesitation, she seemed to be moved.
She also wanted to see what the young man is, so she said to her side: "Boss Xu is kind, why should Xu Lang refuse? From a scholarly family, Xu Lang must have excellent knowledge."
Hehe, Xu Qilin scratched his head and laughed twice, and said, "Okay, I'll be ugly."
Boss Xu hurriedly spread paper and put inkstones. Tang Yiyi stepped forward and took the initiative to grind the ink, waiting for Xu Qilin to write the inscription.
Xu Qilin thought about it for a while, picked up his pen, and wrote down the restaurant’s new name “Zuixiao Tower” on the paper.
"Good characters." Tang Yiyi looked carefully and blurted out: "It is both regular script, but it has more majestic and magnificent momentum."
"Miss Tang has been too rewarded." Xu Qilin smiled embarrassedly and said, "I know that the writing skills and skills are not enough, so I need to practice more."
As he said that, Xu Qilin dipped ink and wrote a couplet on the other two sheets of paper, "I advise you to have a glass of wine to share the eternal sorrow with you."
Tang Yiyi recited these two lines of poetry softly and couldn't help but look at Xu Qilin with admiration. But she didn't know that Xu Qilin not only could plagiarize, but also regrouped and skewed.
Boss Xu was so happy that his eyes were gone. The bun had more folds on his face. He slapped the wind with his sleeves to make the ink dry soon. He said in a hurry: "I'll go find a carriage here and carve these excellent words and excellent poems and hang them on the restaurant door."
Xu Qilin hurriedly reminded: "Don't say I wrote it."
"I know, I know." Boss Xu nodded repeatedly, "I only say to outsiders that I spent a lot of money to ask the masters and famous scholars to write."
Xu Qilin waved his hand and said, "I just said that it was written by an unknown scholar. Where did the master scholar come from?"
Boss Xu happily held the ink paper and left the private room. Xu Qilin sat down and persuaded him to drink and eat. He was about to eat and drink first, and then discussed Xiaobo's matter with Tang Yiyi.
Tang Yiyi ate this unique but very delicious dish, and she looked at the boy sitting opposite her from time to time.
After drinking two cups of wine, Tang Yiyi's face turned slightly red and hot, and she looked even more enchanting. She became bolder and said, "It's so good for Xu Lang to know that the unsatisfactory thing in my yard is that Xiao Fu, the next door's top brand, got a good song and wanted to win the championship at the Beixiang Flower Case Conference."
"What will happen to this flower case?" Xu Qilin asked while thinking: It's not an illegal organization, it's like a black society, it's all women, so it's not going to do this thing, right?
With Tang Yiyi's explanation, Xu Qilin realized that he was not thinking. This flower case conference, also known as the flower review conference, is the meaning of beauty selection in brothels.
The prostitutes and girls in the Tang Dynasty had a characteristic, which was that they were talented but not appearance.
For example, everyone knows that Yang Miaoer, Zheng Juju, Laier, etc. are either clever and clever, humorous and wonderful; or talk about elegance and genre; or even lack of grace, they are very clever, and none of them have been praised for their beautiful appearance.
As for singing, the singing prostitute is naturally the first priority. This includes a good voice, a beautiful singing style, and the selected songs.
Therefore, it was very popular for the song prostitutes to "take the poems of famous scholars at that time into songs". At the same time, the song prostitutes' evaluation and choice of poems by literati also greatly influenced whether literati can become famous.
Therefore, if a prostitute has good poems and lyrics, he can raise his own value. For example, when Bai Juyi's poem was written in great success, a prostitute boasted: I have recited Bai Xueshi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", how can he be like a prostitute? Prices increase, prices increase..."
Some poets are also willing to write poems for the prostitutes, and the prostitutes will create the second time, making the poems sung more deeply and make them famous.
