Entering the tavern, I looked around, the tavern is divided into a total of two floors, the first floor is the hall, there are six eight immortal tables, the table on each of the four sides of a bench, up to eight people in the drink together.
On the second floor of the tavern are three elegant rooms, decorated in a rustic and luxurious manner, and with excellent sound insulation, set up with Western-style round tables and high-backed chairs, with red candles and crystal glasses on the tables.
"Chen Jiu, come and see!"
I found Hu Mei, who was standing in front of the wine cabinet with her eyes wide open, like Ali Baba who had found a treasure.
I walked up and Hu Mei pointed to the wine cabinet and said excitedly.
"It's all good wine!"
I fixed my eyes a knock, the wine cabinet is placed on the good wine originating from various countries, there is China's famous Maotai, but also imported from foreign countries, a look at the foreign wine is not cheap.
"Chen Jiu, together, these wines are worth hundreds of thousands at least."
The wine cabinet was covered with dust, and I was curious in my mind what kind of person this landlord was to leave so much valuable wine here for eighteen years.
I turned around and my eyes fell on the bar opposite the liquor cabinet.
There is only one thing on the bar, a brave made out of yellow glass.
Pixiu is a legendary beast that only eats and does not pull, and has the effect of attracting wealth and treasure.
This glazed brave is hollow, there is no small space in the stomach, the mouth is the entrance, but no exit on the buttocks.
How to look like a luxury savings jar.
Pixie under the pressure of an envelope, I took the envelope in hand, popped off the top face dust, tore open the seal.
Among the envelope was a piece of paper, and a golden coin.
The coin is cold in your hand, and holding it is like holding an ice cube in your hand.
On the front of the coin, there is a seal with ancient writing that I do not recognize.
On the reverse side, there is a pattern of a palace.
Hu Mei came up.
"What does the letter say?"
I unfolded the letter paper, the paper is very beautiful words, iron painting silver hook, force through the paper, a look is from the hand of a man.
Hu Mei read out the words on the letter.
"Congratulations on finding the key, from the moment you open the envelope, everything in the tavern, belongs to you.
The tavern collects rent once a year, the price is four gold coins in an envelope, you put the gold coins in the belly of the brave, I will go to pick them up sometime."
After reading it, Hu Mei muttered.
"What a strange landlord."
She took the gold coin in my hand and put it in her mouth and bit it.
"It's not gold either... where can I get this stuff?"
I'm also at a loss for words.
"Wait for the landlord to come and ask about it!"
Hu Mei returned the gold coin to me and she blinked, her face flushed.
"Chen Jiu, according to the landlord, this tavern, now belongs to us, right?"
"Right."
"Give me some money, I'll go buy some cleaning tools, and we'll get the tavern cleaned up early so we can open for business."
I gave Hu Mei a hundred dollars and soon she rushed back with a newly purchased broom, mop, bucket and rag.
"Come on, get to work!"
The two of us cleaned the tavern for a full six hours before all the dust was wiped off.
Looking at the brand new tavern, we both felt a sense of accomplishment.
"There are two bedrooms in the tavern, Chen Jiu, which one do you live in? Or ... and I live in one?"
At the moment, Hu Mei, just finished work, sweat stuck her hair on her face, wet clothes tightly clinging to the body, there is a different kind of beauty.
My heart fluttered and I hurriedly turned my head away.
"Take your pick, I'll just sleep in the other room."
"Then I can choose the big room."
She stretched and snorted.
"I'm tired and want to sleep first, should we go back to the hotel or sleep in the tavern?" .
The corners of Hu Mei's mouth rose, her eyes, simply naked seduction.
The thought of going to a hotel and us sleeping in the same bed immediately made me choose.
"I'll go to the hotel to get my luggage, and you go get two futons, and pajamas."
Hu Mei seemed a little reluctant and muttered in a small voice.
"It's so boring."
By the time I arrived back from the hotel, Hu Mei had already gone to bed, and she had indeed chosen the larger bedroom.
Our two rooms are opposite each other, Hu Mei did not close the door, the scene in the bedroom into my eyes.
Hu Mei took a shower, her hair was not completely blow-dried, with moisture, on her pale shoulders.
She was wearing her new pajamas, a black lace dress, semi-permeable, with a high hemline, and she was uncovered, with a pair of long, slender legs, **** out.
Hu Mei looks asleep, but I noticed that her eyelashes, fluttering.
I knew that she was pretending to be asleep.
This woman, again, is seducing me.
So I closed her bedroom door, with a clunk, behind me.
When I came to my bedroom, my bed was made up with bedding and a freshly unpacked nightgown on the pillow.
On the bedside table, there was a cup of steaming white water and two buns in a cardboard box.
I don't have to guess, it was Hu Mei who prepared it for me.
I have a slight warmth in my heart, although I do not know why she deliberately seduced me, but as she said before, now the two of us, dependent on each other.
I was too tired today, after eating and drinking, showered and went to bed, woke up at dawn.
Walking out of the room, Hu Mei was already up and I found her on the first floor.
Hu Mei looked at the wine cabinet with a sad face.
"What are you thinking about?"
Hu Mei sighed and asked me a question.
"How much do you think these wines, they have to be marked up?"
I immediately understood the meaning of Hu Mei, the wine cabinet on the wine is too high-end, can afford to drink this wine, mostly rich middle-aged business people, they are in and out of luxury restaurants, rarely come to the tavern to drink.
Customers who are willing to come to the tavern to drink are mostly young people, but how many young people can afford to drink such expensive wine?
I had no experience in opening a store, so I asked Hu Mei.
"What are your plans?"
Hu Mei thought about it.
"I think we have to restock before we open, and it's enough to put away two-thirds of these high-end wines and leave one-third for the door."
I agree with Hu Mei's idea, but there is a problem.
"We don't have any money."
The three thousand dollars brought from home, has already spent more than two thousand, the remaining few hundred, but not enough to buy goods.
Hu Mei bit his lower lip.
"I'll get a friend to borrow some first."
Hu Mei went out and did not return until noon.
She said to me with a downcast look.
"My demon friends, one by one, say they have not been doing well in the past two years and have little spare money in their hands."
This result did not surprise me, it is easy to borrow money and difficult to collect debts, not really trustworthy friends and relatives, who are willing to borrow money?
Hu Mei turned his words.
"A friend introduced me to a person, the jianghu gag number iron abduction Zhang, said to be in the money lending business, is a little high interest."
"How high?"
"It says nine out of thirteen."
The so-called nine out of thirteen, is a private lending statement, simply put, is to borrow 10,000, to hand nine thousand, repayment of 13,000.
"A few months of credit?"
"Normally, it's one month, and my friend said he could help intercede and change it to three months."
