    "I had already eaten when I came here, but since Shang Wen is the host, I am naturally willing to go again. I will send someone to call Wan Li and the others." After speaking, Han Hao walked out of the courtyard and called the accompanying boy.  , and asked him to call others. The boy was used to him. He was familiar with the young men who ate, drank and had fun with Han Hao on weekdays, so he went to find someone else.

    Chen Yue has never arranged for a man to serve in his room, and he has arranged for Luo Liang, Gong Fu and others to go out to do things. There is only one Xian'er by his side.  I met Chen Fu outside the door, greeted him, asked him to tell his parents, took Xian'er and went out with Han Hao.

    Chen Yan and Chen Li were both invited to the Guoxi Building yesterday, and they were able to enter the backyard to eat with Fan Zhongyan. There were three tables in the backyard yesterday. Logically speaking, Chen Lilai was not qualified to sit in, but after all, he was  His father is not, and Chen Yue is not a saint. He always wants his family to seek some benefits, which invisibly elevates Chen Li's status.

    Xizilou had previously given away eight jade plaques, including one from Chen Yan. The merits on the back of the jade plaque also read, "If you teach your children well, you will have many descendants who are strangers." This refers to the man who has recently become famous in Hangzhou.  Chen Yue, Chen En is obviously trying to flatter Chen Yue.  Chen Yan refused once when it was delivered, but after Fan Zhongyan accepted the jade plaque and sent it over again, Chen Yan did not refuse.

    Chen Yue and Han Hao did not let the carriage see them off. They talked as they walked and arrived at the West Tower not long after.

    Today, there is a Cuju competition going on in front of the Xizi Tower. The rules were slightly modified by Chen Yue.  Compared with the time when Cuju was mainly for viewing, it was much more confrontational.  Due to the rush of things, the two Cuju teams could not adapt well and seemed a little constrained. The venue was also improvised. There were only a few wooden steps for the high platform seats, and the other people could only gather in one or two circles in the front row at the edge of the venue.  Only the audience can see it clearly.  But even so.  There were still bursts of cheers from time to time, and the atmosphere was quite warm.

    A seat on the high platform costs 500 yuan, so it is not completely full.  Before Huang Qian and others came over, Chen Yue and Han Hao walked onto the stage to watch the game. Naturally, this small amount of money would not be a problem for the two of them.

    "I heard that there are eighty lucky numbers for Cuju today. There are also fireworks and flying lanterns in the evening. I don't know the origin of the owner of Xizilou. I won't talk about it yesterday. It's still such a big deal today.  , I heard that this Cuju competition will continue to be held in the future. I am really wronged. How can I make money back with just one restaurant?" Han Hao said while patting the dust on the wooden steps under his butt.

    Chen Yue touched his nose and couldn't help but tell him that the enemy was sitting next to him. He smiled and said: "It's not like I can't make money back. This Cuju competition was just started in a hurry. It will have a good momentum and the surrounding area will be circled by then."  , build several rows of seats, and charge fifty to eighty cents per person, so you can collect dozens of coins per game. Besides, now is the opening time. There will never be so much money on weekdays,  When there are more people watching, and a Guanpu stall can be opened next to it, plus tea and food, are you afraid that you won't be able to make back the money?" Chen Yue pointed to another group of people surrounding not far away, "Think of it over there.  There are a lot of people watching at the sumo wrestling venue. When we have all the necessary things in place, we may not be able to make less money."

    Sports such as Cuju and sumo wrestling were very popular in the Song Dynasty. However, Cuju has gradually evolved into an ornamental performance. The two parties hardly need physical contact and just perform their skills in front of the door. Chen Yue doesn't like it very much, and no matter when he comes from  He said that competitions with strong competition are more eye-catching, so he slightly changed the rules of the competition, and there are more things that he plans to add bit by bit in the future. He is even thinking about it.  If the rules of Cuju can be finalized in this era, I wonder if the national football team will be more promising eighteen hundred years from now.

    "Tokyo Menghualu" and "Menglianglu" of the Song Dynasty record that the sumo wrestlers used by the imperial court in the Song Dynasty were sergeants on the left and right sides of the imperial guard, named "Nei Dengzi".  All professional sumo wrestlers in the market have names.  The items that the winner will be rewarded include: flag tent, silver cup, colored satin, brocade jacket, official meeting (banknotes), horses, etc.  It can be seen that the status of sumo wrestling is not weaker than that of Cuju, but he does not need to take care of these anymore. Even he does not understand the corresponding rules of later generations. He has considered whether he can imitate the form of later professional leagues.  Change, but it was still too early to say, and he was not sure whether this competition system could be accepted by the public at this time.

    Han Hao glanced at Chen Yue and said: "Shangwen has become interested in business in the past two months? You are not the owner of Xizi Building, how do you know what they are thinking? I think it is just to create momentum. How can you be in this place?"  Would someone who has made such a big investment in the industry care about this amount of money?"

    Chen Yue said with a smile: "It's just a boring guess. How do we know what others think?" There are some things that he can't tell Han Hao. Hualou is very profitable. In the past, the profit was only invested in this one area, which always made a lot of money.  Make a noise, but onlyIt is impossible to make much profit from a restaurant with an inconspicuous location. Even after a long time, the atmosphere when it opened will be gradually forgotten and it is not unthinkable that it will be unsustainable.  In order to create the benefits of a business district and cluster as soon as possible, it is obviously beyond his ability to build a "commercial street" on his own and attract tourists. The best way he can think of at this time is to wait until several competitions.  With the climate, and the gradual completion of several other buildings in the courtyard, the value of the dozens of acres of land around this area may not be lower than the land in the city, and it will definitely attract more people to build various shops and restaurants here.  , the benefits brought by mutual pull and mutual promotion are far from being as simple as one plus one equals two.

    "Okay!" There was a burst of cheers around him, and even Han Hao couldn't help but applaud. Chen Yue looked over and saw that it was a member of the Cuju team on the field who kicked the ball hard into the face of the opponent's "goalkeeper"  , although the ball at this time was much softer than that of later generations, with leather stitching on the outside and stuffed with cotton and debris inside, it still caused a nosebleed on the face of the temporary "goalkeeper". Chen Yue was a little bit dumbfounded.  , I didn¡¯t expect that everyone would cheer for such a thing.

    In fact, there were already inflated rubber balls at this time, but after Chen Yue looked at them, he thought they were not as good as those stuffed with cotton wool, so he did not change them.  Outside the court, busboys from Xizilou and other members of the Cuju team entered the court to inquire about the injuries of the injured. Chen Yue would not care about these matters. As long as the personal safety of the players could be ensured, some small conflicts were also a good thing.  The game stopped for a while and then started again. The two teams were obviously a little more angry because of the episode just now, and they fought harder. The crowd watching around them became more excited and cheered loudly from time to time.

    About half an hour later, Huang Qian and others arrived one after another and watched the Cuju competition in the stands. At the end, there were many rich kids sitting in the stands who gave extra rewards in addition to the originally determined lottery prizes.  The Cuju team in the competition got a total of 120 coins, while the losing team got nothing. Seeing the winner leaving with the cash in hand, the losing team almost even ate people.  heart.

    "Let's go, I'm so hungry that I can sing." Chen Yue stood up and patted his butt and said, saying he wanted to have lunch, but it was already nearly half of the afternoon.

    "Let's go and have a drink. Even if Shang Wen doesn't tell me, I haven't woken up yet, but now I'm so hungry that I can't eat anymore." Han Hao echoed and asked everyone to get up and walk towards the West Tower.

    Huang Qian and others have actually already eaten, and they just came out to have fun. They only saw the last short section of the Cuju competition, and it was the most intense section. They were still a little unfinished, but the competition was over, and they had nothing to do.

    When he walked to the door, a group of students from Wushan walked out of it, including Tangyu Lake. Chen Yue glanced at it and didn't see Zheng An. He didn't know if something happened by chance or if he knew about Chen En and Zheng Shan.  I'd like to come, but I don't think they will associate the owner of Xizi Building with themselves.

    When Tangyuhu saw Chen Yue and others coming in, he snorted coldly, pretended not to notice, turned around and deliberately spoke to the people around him: "The C-shaped table by the window on the second floor that I ordered today must have taken Jiahuai a lot of effort."  , most people can¡¯t book it in these two days.¡±

    The man named Jiahuai smiled modestly: "Why should you be polite to me? It's just for the sake of the academy." There was still some pride in his eyes. Yesterday, starting from the time Fan Zhongyan and other Hangzhou elders arrived at Xizilou, everyone in the city  Many wealthy businessmen were willing to join in the fun and try something new. All the good seats in the West Building were booked for the next three days. Only a few reserved places could be booked based on connections. The one he got was "C  "The numbered tables are obtained from the elders in the family.

    Tangyuhu glanced provocatively at Chen Yue and others. They had just arrived at this time. Apparently they had not been able to book a seat at noon. Seats in the West Tower were strictly controlled these days to prevent people from occupying seats in the afternoon and delaying them until the evening.  At this time, they were only accepting people who had made reservations for the night. If Chen Yue and others were asked to book better seats than the C-shaped table for the night, he would not believe it anyway.

    Han Hao frowned. The seat for the night was reserved by his family. He didn't think too much about it at the time. It was indeed not as good as the seats of Wushan students. He didn't have much, but even a blind man could understand the other party's provocation.  , If we go up to eat at this time, we will lose face.

    "My family recently hired two new chefs who are very good at their craftsmanship. The whole fish feast they cooked a few days ago tasted really good. Why don't we set up another table today?" Huang Qian knew something was wrong by looking at Han Hao's expression, and hurriedly spoke to save the situation.  road.

    Han Hao frowned and hesitated. Da Lang and the others were coming tonight. He had no way to explain why he had taken Chen Yue away. He was unwilling to let him down like this. The fight between the young masters was nothing more than one breath. Although they  I also know that the other party is still targeting Chen Yuezhu, but the seat was reserved by his family, and he is the one who can't come to the stage. If he goes soft now, he will definitely make people laugh.

    The waiter in the building saw someone coming and came up to greet him.He bowed and bowed in a standard manner: "Have any of you gentlemen made reservations?"

    Tang Yuhu and the others stopped with smiles on their faces, waiting to watch their show. Unexpectedly, Chen Yue stepped forward and said, "It's already booked. Take us to the private room in the backyard." (To be continued)
