My ancient leisure life

The large pieces of mutton were put into the bowl, and the eyes of the village neighbors who came with Erdan were already straightened, and they became even more excited when they saw the two tables of sumptuous banquets.

They don't say they have seen these dishes, but they have never heard of them. Now that they have seen and tasted them with their own eyes, they are not only grateful for the promise they made, but also feel that the trip is worthwhile.

Wang Dali: "Boy Nuo, it's too expensive!"

"What's the cost?" Xu Nuo said with a smile: "Don't say that you all ran so far for me, even if it wasn't for me, you would still have a banquet. After all, we still have neighbors."

"You're welcome." Cheng Ge said: "We are all from the same village. We usually get along very well. We are all friends. Why are you so polite?"

"I didn't eat less from Xu Nuo and my cousin." Erdan smiled honestly, "If you don't eat it, leave it to me. I'll eat it all."

"Hahaha." When he joked like this, the big guy was no longer restrained, "Cheng Ge is right, we will not be polite."

That's what they said, but they were very reserved when they ate, they didn't open their mouths to eat and drink unceremoniously, but tasted the delicious food slowly, trying to appear more elegant.

Xu Nuo couldn't help but find it funny to watch them eat, glance at himself and Cheng Ge, and try to learn from him in their movements.

He just wanted to persuade them to let go, but then he thought that this is also a good thing, if he stays in the capital in the future, he can't let people think they are too rude.

"Brother Dali." Xu Nuo saw that they had almost eaten, so he told them what was on his mind, "Do you want to work in the capital? If so, you can come to my guild hall."

Wang Dali and the others were taken aback, and asked, "Boy Nuo, have you opened a club in Kyoto?"

"Yeah." Xu Nuo said with a smile, "Why can't it be opened in Kyoto? This place is better than our county and state capital. Do you know how much a part-time job is at least for a month?"

"How many?"

"At least one tael of silver a month." Xu Nuo stretched out a finger and said, "Although it won't exceed two taels of silver, but with your ability, you can earn more than one tael."

"Okay, okay." Wang Dali looked delighted, "We just plan to come out to work, and it would be best if we can stay here."

"Yeah." Xu Nuo said with a smile: "You can stay and work in my guild hall, and you will pay two taels of silver for food and lodging a month."

"So much." Before Wang Dali and the others could speak, Er Dan looked at Xu Nuo in surprise.

"Our guild hall is completely taking the high-end route this time, and you will know when you see the guild hall." Xu Nuo said.

The eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month was the day promised to open the guild hall. On this day, he and Zhou Yuyi arrived at the guild hall early. They had already checked yesterday and everything was ready.

They looked around and said to the hired shopkeeper: "Put out the flower baskets, and we will open when the auspicious time comes."

Each flower basket is placed on both sides of the hall. This is promised to find a craftsman to weave according to the modern opening flower basket style. There are no flowers in the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, so flowers are made of various silk fabrics.

Not to mention, the ancient people's craftsmanship was very exquisite, and the silk flowers were so lifelike that they could almost look like real ones from a distance, adding a touch of color to this cold winter.

In the middle of the flower basket is the red carpet, promising to build the hall with the best materials at all costs, aiming to earn money from the dignitaries here.

The same three-story building, with the words "Daxing No. [-] Leisure Hall" hanging high, covered with red silk, will be uncovered by him and Zhou Yuyi as soon as the firecrackers go off.

"Brother Xu Nuo, I'm here." Zhao Kai shouted happily when he saw him and Zhou Yuyi standing in the middle of the red carpet as soon as he got out of the car.

"Come so early" Xu Nuo asked him with a smile.

"I brought my friends over to help you, of course I have to come earlier." Zhao Kai pointed to the back, and another five or six people got out of the car one after another.

"Come on, let me introduce you." Zhao Kai pointed to Xu Nuo and Zhou Yuyi, and introduced them to his friends one by one.

"From now on, you will be our elder brothers." One of the chubby guys patted his chest and said boldly, "Come to us if you have anything to do. If anyone dares to make trouble, I will break his dog legs."

"Bah." Zhao Kai exposed him unceremoniously, "Beware of your father interrupting your dog legs."

"Hahaha." The little fat man was ridiculed by several friends.

Xu Nuo quietly watched them play. In their eyes, he didn't see that they cared about his status as a commoner. There was only enthusiasm and sincerity in his eyes, without contempt or disdain.

"Please come in quickly." Xu Nuo invited with a smile, "Thank you very much for bothering everyone to come and join us today."

"You're welcome, you're welcome." The little fat man smiled and said, "We have invited a lot of people, and they will all come over to cheer you on in a while, and we will give you a big publicity. Let's do it today."

While speaking, Cheng Ge came over from a distance, his eyes were indifferent and his face was serious, and there was a threatening aura lingering around his body. Although he had already restrained himself, he was anxious to come back to see the opening of the guild hall because of his breakthrough just now, and his skill was not stable yet. , leaks from time to time.

Zhao Kai's friends were stunned by him for a moment, and they looked at the oncoming person without breathing, secretly surprised that this is not a simple person.

"Master." Zhao Kai jumped up happily, and went to greet him, being close and respectful.

"Yeah." Cheng Ge responded lightly, reached out to touch his head, and then set his eyes on Xu Nuo, "Are you okay?"

"Okay." Xu Nuo's eyes were delighted. Cheng Ge went to break through the mountains on the second day since Erdan and the others came, and he left for five days, "You're back."

In order to promise safety, Cheng Ge suppressed the breakthrough for a long time, and now it is a matter of course, with a new change in temperament, not angry but majestic, which makes people dare not ignore it.

"I'm back!" The three simple words expressed his longing for Xu Nuo, and the mutual understanding between the eyes met was an inseparable part of the other party.

"Hey." The little fat man stretched out his hand to poke Zhao Kai, and asked, "When did you have a master, why didn't we know?"

Zhao Kai rolled his eyes and said angrily, "My father doesn't know yet, so why did he tell you?"

"Hey." The little fat man smiled, and instead of talking to him about it, he looked at Cheng Ge with a flattering grin, "Master, this kid is so worthless, you have to train him well, he doesn't take me seriously .”

"Pfft." Xu Nuo was amused by him again.

"Okay, if he bullies you again, I'll take care of him." Cheng Ge smiled, this little fat man is very pleasing.

"Okay, master is so kind." The little fat man is not very old, he looks like twelve or thirteen years old, and his chubby body is exactly what the words "heart, body and fat" are.

"Let's all go in, the auspicious time is still half an hour away." Xu Nuo invited them again, hoping to find a chance to have a few words with Cheng Ge alone.

When a group of people entered, they saw waiters standing in a neat row, Er Dan and Cheng Yin at the head, all dressed in the promised Tang suits, their youthful faces were set off to be handsome and extravagant, and they had already left the feeling of countrymen.

"Brother Yi." Xu Nuo said: "I'll talk to Cheng Ge about something, you and Zhao Kai will lead them to have a look together and introduce our guild hall."

"Where are you going?" The little fat man asked angrily, "If there is anything I can help."

Xu Nuo was embarrassed to find a quiet place to whisper with Cheng Ge when he said that. He glanced at Cheng Ge and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, we can talk about it later."

"You go in and rest for a while, I'll take them upstairs to have a look." Xu Nuo turned to Cheng Ge and said.

"Ah."

"Wow!" Xu Nuo led several young guests layer by layer, introducing them to the guild hall, and heard many surprised exclamations along the way.

These are all half-children who are about the same age as Zhao Kai. In fact, strictly speaking, they are also about one or two years younger than him and Zhou Yuyi, so they can play together.

The interior of the hall is all soft decoration, even the ancient carved wooden chairs are promised to be changed into modern sofa styles, and there are all kinds of pillows carefully made by the embroiderer. The whole hall presents a semi-quaint and semi-modern decoration.

It does not lose the antique flavor of classical culture, but also does not lose the trendy fashion style.It not only has the simple luxury of high-end atmosphere, but also has a novel and unique meaning, which completely attracts everyone's attention.

I promised myself that after seeing the renovated clubhouse, I was deeply attracted.The simplicity and elegance pursued by modern times has no such ancient reality. It is the sublimation of Chinese and Western styles, which belongs to the hatchback combination between ancient and modern.

The first, second and third floors are all boxes, and the price is linked to the grade.The first floor is a bit more common, charging five taels of silver per hour, the second floor is a little more expensive, ten taels of silver per hour, and the third floor is a representative of luxury, 50 taels of silver per hour.

"It's worth it, it's really worth it." After watching it, Zhao Kai and the others felt that the price was low and should be higher. "This place can not only entertain, but also enjoy leisure, comfort and quietness. You can also entertain guests for dinner, whatever you want to do Everything can be done here, which is much better than going to any restaurant, teahouse, or Chu Pavilion.”

"It was built with the idea that it can make people relax and have fun, and it can also not delay reading or talking about things."

Xu Nuo said with a smile: "You have seen it too, the whole environment is very quiet, no matter how noisy you are in the private room, it will not affect others. You can entertain friends, you can also read and discuss knowledge quietly, and you can even go to restaurants to reserve banquets in the private room. Dining here, you can arrange everything without stepping out of the door.”

The promising box has a lot of space. In addition to the billiard case, there are also sofas and bookshelves inside, which can be used by those literati to improvise.

If you want to eat here, there is a folding table inside, you can set up the table to enjoy food at any time, and you can even lie on the sofa to rest when you sleep.

"Master." The shopkeeper came up to invite them to go down, "The auspicious time is coming, Young Master Zhou and Master Zhao are also here, waiting below."

"Okay, let's go down now." Xu Nuo said.

Today Zhou Yuxuan and Zhao Wenhao invited many friends over. There must be a lot of people in a while. The opening scene will definitely not be deserted.

"Brother Zhao and Brother Zhou, you are here." Xu promised them to go down, and saw that there were already many people talking around the two of them.

This is because they are afraid that the opening will be deserted, so they specially invite close friends and classmates to come over to create momentum. There are about 30 to [-] people.

"Yeah." Zhao Wenhao said with a smile: "The auspicious time is coming soon, and please let the two hosts set off firecrackers to receive the plaque, so that we can appreciate the true meaning of your guild hall with our friends."

"Haha." Xu Nuo smiled and said, "Thank you for your support."

"Crackling, crackling." A burst of firecrackers blared, Xu Nuo and Zhou Yuyi uncovered the red silk on the plaque, revealing a few large characters inside, and then someone read out "Daxing No. [-] Leisure Club."

"What a magnificent name." Everyone praised.

At this time, some people came one after another, and the carriage stopped at the entrance of the guild hall. Zhao Wenhao, Zhou Yuyi, and Zhao Kai and a few of his friends stood at the entrance, each welcoming their friends in an orderly manner without interfering with each other.

These people who came here were either a literati, or a rich man. They all looked for their friends politely, lively and not noisy, they were all polite.

"Our guild hall has opened again." Xu Nuo sighed to Cheng Ge beside him: "This time, we will not back down again, and we must persist to the end to beat the evil forces."

He clenched his fists as if swearing an oath, full of fighting spirit and self-confidence, but in Cheng Ge's eyes, he was so cute, and the sparkling eyes seemed to shine into his heart.
