Chapter 469 Opening
Tu Mi worked efficiently and soon recruited enough workers.
Cough cough, Zhu Huaizhen’s cold has not yet healed.
"Your Highness, what's the big deal about the reopening of Taoyao Tower?" Tu Mi asked.
"In the lobby on the first floor, operas are free, but tea and cakes are charged, with prices clearly marked and no limit on the number of guests. On the second, third, and fourth floors, you can listen to operas and have tea and snacks in private rooms, or you can taste delicious food. On the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors, you can stay overnight." Zhu Huaizhen held up his rosy cheeks, smiling like a flower, his eyes moving.
"Your Highness, I have observed these days that the nobles of the Northern Zhou Dynasty are all arrogant and unwilling to sit at the same table with common people. If you do this, I am afraid you will not be able to attract nobles, and can only recruit common people. However, common people are reluctant to spend money, and only some wealthy businessmen will come to support you. Sooner or later, you will probably be unable to make ends meet." Qiu Niang frowned.
"Qiu Niang has a point. Then, Tu Mi, after you reopen, put a wooden sign at the door saying that we don't have the standards to entertain nobles." Zhu Huaizhen touched his chin and smiled meaningfully.
After hearing this, Tu Mi was about to say that this was a bit offensive to the Northern Zhou nobles.
Then, I changed my mind and realized that this is exactly the effect I want.
"Qiu Niang, besides, I have instructed Changshengku to double the money earned from the nobles of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and then use it to operate Taoyao Tower. By the way, on the first day of reopening, listen to Princess Ronghua's favorite "Peach Blossom Fan", eat Princess Ronghua's favorite Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and drink Princess Ronghua's favorite Taoyao Tea." Zhu Huaizhen smiled brightly, her grape eyes clear and translucent.
"Your Highness, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is very expensive and you can't eat it now!" Qiu Niang said angrily.
"Your Highness, Taoyao tea is not cheap. If the head of the Gu family in Yizhou knew that you wasted Taoyao tea like this, he would probably be so angry that he would rush over here." Tu Mi teased.
"Qiu Niang, just spoil His Highness." Qiu Niang rubbed her forehead and sighed helplessly.
"Qiuniang, please be patient." Tu Mi shook her head and laughed.
Her Highness must have her reasons for doing this.
All she could think of was that her Highness hoped that the common people of Northern Zhou could enjoy the same treatment as the nobility in Taoyao Tower. Then, the common people of Northern Zhou would no longer look up to the nobility, or aspire to become nobility themselves.
After all, Princess Ronghua was going to leave Northern Zhou.
Once Princess Ronghua left, Taoyao Tower could no longer operate.
The common people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were like falling off a cliff into the abyss.
Not everyone can bear this feeling.
What Princess Ronghua wants is to drive the common people crazy.
Therefore, the first day of Taoyao Tower's reopening was extremely lively.
Orioles chirp at dawn in the jade trees of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai waterside pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse. Here, amidst the mossy, blue tiles, I once slept in a dreamlike state; I've witnessed fifty years of rise and fall. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake, and owls roost on Phoenix Terrace. Dreams of the ruined mountains are the most real, the old land hard to lose. I don't believe this map is changing manuscripts. I'll compose a lament for Jiangnan, and sing it until I grow old.
The Taoyao Army sang "Peach Blossom Fan" and was no less impressive than any other opera troupe in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Sugar-heart abalone, pineapple sea cucumber, white shark lips, young deer tendons, claw meat, golden shark fin, ivory clam meat, spider fish glue, quail eggs, ham, pork ribs, clean winter bamboo shoots, king oyster mushrooms, chrysanthemum mushrooms, wild pine mushrooms, morels, snow bamboo fungus, Shaoxing wine, eighteen ingredients, eighteen delicious flavors. The moment you lift the lotus leaf covering the jar, the rich meaty aroma is so fragrant that even a Buddha would jump over the wall.
Wow, this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, once eaten, you will never forget it.
Take the peach blossoms on the third day of March and the white dew on the third day of September, and set out a set of tea-making utensils including a copper wind stove, willow charcoal, wrought iron fire tongs, small green bamboo clips, locust wood water cubes, and Yuezhou jade bowls, and wait for the first boil to produce small bubbles, the second boil to produce gushing springs, and the third boil to produce surging waves.
There is also Taoyao tea. One sip of it and you can brag about it for the rest of your life.
Look, this is the gap between common people and nobles.
What common people spend their entire lives pursuing is nothing more than things that nobles use to kill their leisure time.
