Princess of the auxiliary country

At this time, many people had gathered in front of the big restaurant.

The plaque of the restaurant was covered with red silk, and there were many girls arranged by Huo Junyao standing at the door.

"This restaurant is really big."

When they came closer, Emperor Zhaowu and Queen Shen were directly shocked by the shape of the restaurant.

Although this thing is not as big as their palace, it is just a restaurant, not on the same level at all.

However, when it comes to the restaurant world, Huo Junyao's restaurant is definitely quite explosive.

"No wonder she dared to invite so many people. Look at this area. Is it possible that it can accommodate thousands of people dining at the same time?"

Queen Shen's tone was full of surprise.

"I'm not sure about this, but I heard from Ning Yang that the lower two floors of this restaurant are wider and are the lobby, while the three or four floors above are the private rooms."

"As for the fifth floor, in Zhao De's words, it is a top-level box, and not just anyone can go up there."

"Oh? Not just anyone can go up? Doesn't this also set a threshold?"

Emperor Zhaowu became interested. He paid close attention to Huo Junyao's business. He knew that this girl was very good at business and her monthly income was now tens of thousands.

"Ning Yang said that the first and second floors are all ordinary guests, and the private rooms that occupy 30 to 40% of the guests need to have a certain status. They are mainly gentry students, officials, etc. The minimum consumption requires ten You can only go up to three or four floors if you have to pass through."

"As for the final fifth floor, it is said that the minimum purchase required is a hundred dollars to go up."

"What is the minimum consumption?"

Queen Shen asked doubtfully.

"It is said that as long as you go upstairs and open a private room, no matter how much you spend in it, it will start with the minimum consumption."

"For example, if you go to the third floor but only spend two or three guan, then when you check out, you must give 10 guan. This is the minimum consumption and also a threshold."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Zhaowu and others were at a loss what to say. This was the first time they had heard of such a thing.

"It's not a good idea to charge 10 guan for spending 2 guan, isn't it? Isn't it the same as forcibly charging others 8 guan for nothing?"

Princess Qingyang was also speechless by the charging standard of her little sister.

Isn't this thing just a money grab?
"That's not the case, because before you want to go up, the people in the restaurant will make it clear that you can go up only if you accept it. If you don't accept it, you don't have to go up. No one has to force people to go up."

"And I heard that Zhaode also built some new gadgets on it. From Ning Yang's point of view, it's pretty good value for money."

Here Huo Jingzhi gave a concise introduction.

On the other side, Princess Ningyang had already received the news of their arrival. Knowing that they went directly to the restaurant, she also rushed over with her grandson Huo Xiao.

As for Fang Zhilan, of course she was busy opening her business with Huo Junyao.

When the eldest princess Ningyang arrived with her grandson, the place was already crowded with people. After searching for a long time, she found Emperor Zhaowu and others among the crowd.

"Brother and sister-in-law, why are you standing here? Let's go into the restaurant first."

The group followed Princess Ningyang and took a detour directly into the restaurant.

The first floor is a lobby, with dozens of round tables neatly arranged, and these chairs are placed around each table.

The second level is similar.

Princess Ningyang took them directly to the third floor. The situation here was different. First there was a long corridor, and then there were rows of private rooms, each with a number.

"Brother Emperor, Sister-in-law Emperor, let's go directly to the fifth floor, where Yaoyao is."

The situation on the fourth floor is similar to that on the third floor, except that the box area on the fourth floor is twice as large as that on the third floor. Soon the group reached the fifth floor.

There are only four private rooms on the fifth floor. At this time, the door of the No. 1 private room is open, and there are still faint voices coming from inside.

"Yao Yao, Zhi Lan, come out quickly."

After Princess Ningyang greeted her, Huo Junyao and Fang Zhilan walked out of the box.

As soon as they saw the emperor and the queen, Huo Junyao and his sister-in-law quickly stepped forward to salute.

"Your Majesty, the Queen, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came? I can arrange for someone to greet you."

"I came out incognito. I heard that your restaurant has opened. Your aunt and I also wanted to come and have a look."

After saying that, Emperor Zhaowu looked around with a smile, nodded and said, "Your restaurant is doing well."

"It's just like that. Your Majesty, the Queen, please come in."

Then Huo Junyao led the group directly into Box 1. The first thing he saw was an oversized round table. Thirty-six chairs were placed around the round table, and each chair was covered with embroidery. , just a glance makes people feel that it is not on the same level as below.

In addition to the lobby, there are four small rooms next to the private room.

Emperor Zhaowu did not sit down, but looked around from room to room with his hands behind his back.

The first thing to walk into was Huo Junyao's chess and card room. There were four Eight Immortals tables in it.

"what is this?"

As soon as Emperor Zhaowu opened his mouth, Huo Junyao naturally introduced him.

"This is the chess and card room in the private room. It is mainly used for playing mahjong and cards, or playing chess for fun."

"In addition to these four rooms, there is also a relatively large room over there, which is a leisure tea room. You can drink tea and chat there, or some literati can exchange poems and articles."

After walking around the rooms, Emperor Zhaowu fell in love with this place.

Not to mention elegance, all kinds of things are made very exquisitely, showing nobility everywhere, especially the incense burned in the corner of the room, which are all very high-quality and the price is not low.

"No wonder your father just said that the minimum purchase on the fifth floor requires a hundred dollars, which is indeed good."

Emperor Zhaowu said and sat down, Xiaochan immediately served tea.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, please try this tea. My daughter specially brought this tea from other places."

Emperor Zhaowu and Empress Shen looked at the tea bowl in front of them. The color of the tea was very clear, and the fragrance of the tea was wafting out.

Even though I didn’t drink it, I could tell it was good tea.

The two of them took a sip and were both very satisfied.

"It is indeed a good quality tea, not bad."

"Hey, Yaoyao, are these windows made of colored glass?"

Empress Shen just followed Emperor Zhaowu around and focused all her attention on the indoors. Now she sat down and subconsciously opened the door. When she saw it, she immediately noticed the window and spoke in surprise.

While talking, he stood up and walked towards the window.

It was still summer at this time, and although it was already the end of summer, the weather was still relatively hot.

Huo Junyao also designed this window according to the common movable window design of later generations, which can be opened directly on the left and right sides.

"Is it really colored glaze? Such a pure and large piece of colored glaze is worth a lot of money."
