Su Liu, who had been blown to smithereens, opened her eyes again only to find her husband dead and a son by her side. As a widowed mother and orphan, she suffered endless bullying from her in-laws,...
As soon as Gu Lanyue entered the door, someone came forward to greet her.
"Miss Gu is here, still at the same seat as before?" the waiter asked enthusiastically with a smile on his face.
It was obvious that Gulanyue was a regular customer of this teahouse.
Gulanyue nodded coldly to the waiter, and then the waiter took the two of them to the second floor. The seats on the second floor were all partitions, with different sizes and different numbers of people. The smallest one was for two people.
The old seat the guy mentioned is a good one. You can see the center of the stage by turning your head. It is a good seat whether you are watching alone or chatting with friends.
After sitting down, Gu Lanyue took out a handful of copper coins from her purse and placed them on the table. The waiter took the coins carefully with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Miss Gu. I'll go prepare your favorite tea and snacks for you right away!"
The guy walked away happily.
The copper coins of Dongling Kingdom are small and thin. There should be hundreds of them in the handful that Gu Lanyue just had.
That’s a really high tip!
Su Liuer asked curiously, "Do you give this much money to the waiter every time you come?" As a poor person, she really wanted to see the world of rich people.
Gu Lanyue shook her head and said, "Of course not. I came here with you today, and I'm in a good mood, so I gave you so much. Normally, I'd give you half."
Half of it is worth a few dozen coins...
Su Liuer suddenly felt like Zhou Paopi. She suddenly reflected on herself and wondered if the wages she paid Dali, Xiaoli, and the others were too low. Their monthly salary was only about the amount Gulan Yue casually tipped them...
"Everyone who comes here is like this, but boss, if you don't like it, I won't give it to you next time. Anyway, no one can do anything to me if I don't give it to you." Gu Lanyue said this with a bit of the feeling of a willful and capricious young lady.
Su Liuer smiled upon hearing this and denied it, "I don't dislike it. If I had money, I would give it to you. Different occasions always have their own unwritten rules."
Gu Lanyue nodded, propping up her chin as she looked downstairs. "Yeah, different occasions have different rules. When my mother brought me here before, I always thought it was boring and a waste of money. But now I'm just like my mother. When I can't stay at home, I come here to kill time. I've been here often in the past two years, so the guys all know me."
Gu Lanyue's tone was relaxed, but she still couldn't hide the slight sadness in it. For her, this place held many memories of her mother, so she had been there many times in the past two years, much more often than when her mother was alive.
Su Liu'er didn't want to talk about other people's sad past, so she changed the subject and asked, "What kind of performances are usually held in this teahouse?"
At this time, the stage in the center of the teahouse is empty, and it is a break in the performance.
Gu Lanyue thought back and said, "There's a wide variety of things going on, right? Acrobatics, music, singing girls, and even storytellers. Anyway, there's really a lot of variety, and they always come up with something new. That's why the teahouse business is so good."
She turned to look at Su Liu'er, her eyes bright as she said, "Boss, if you want to spread any news, you can find the owner of this teahouse. He will naturally find a way to help you spread it. Many businessmen have spread news through this teahouse before."
Su Liuer couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this big city is really different, even the advertisements are very mature.
She suddenly felt the competitive pressure of this big city. It was indeed incomparable to a small place like Qingxi Town, Shanghe County. It would not be an exaggeration to say that there was a world of difference between them.
