After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

"Hehe" Xu Li looked at this scene, his dark skin showing a hint of blush.

The next second, "Ouch!" Xu Li tripped over his left foot in a trance and almost fell flat on his face.

"Hehehe~" Seeing this, Mei Niang covered her mouth with her hands and smiled.

The next second, he thought of something and his face became sad again.

Here, Xu Qingqing followed the aroma of food coming from the street and found several restaurants.

Her eyes wandered among the restaurants around her, and finally she chose one that looked like it would cater to the general public.

This restaurant is not the most luxurious in town, but it is clean and well-organized. Several wooden tables are neatly placed in the center, covered with clean white tablecloths.

Because it was not yet dinner time, there were not many people in the restaurant, with only three or five tables of people sitting sparsely.

"Sir, how many people are you?" When the waiter saw someone coming, he hurried forward to greet the guest.

Xu Qingqing saw that the waiter was neatly dressed and in good spirits. It seemed that the owner of this shop was a nice person and did not torture these "workers".

"Five of you, please help us find a position with a better view."

Hearing this, the waiter immediately led Xu Qingqing to a place and said, "Okay, five guests, please come in~"

The waiter chose a table near the window for them to sit at. Outside the window was the bustling street and passers-by, adding a lively atmosphere to the meal.

Xu Qingqing ordered a few dishes whose names looked particularly tempting. After a while, the waiter came over with steaming dishes and placed plates of delicious delicacies on the table.

"Sir, your dishes are ready. Are you calling me for something?"

"Well, thank you." Xu Qingqing looked out the window and responded casually.

The waiter was a little flattered. It was rare to see such a polite and courteous guest. But it must be said that it felt good to be respected.

Thinking of this, the waiter smiled and retreated.

Xu Qingqing was staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze until the burning gaze behind her brought her back to her senses.

As soon as she turned around, she was stared at by three pairs of gleaming eyes. Seeing the desire in their eyes, she picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and said with a smile, "Hmm, it tastes good."

Seeing Xu Qingqing picking up her chopsticks, the three of them couldn't wait to devour the food.

As soon as the food entered their mouths, the three of them's eyes lit up and they hurriedly started eating.

"Mm, this dish is really delicious. Auntie is right. If you follow the Sect Master, you will have meat to eat!"

"That's it!"

"Hey, eat slowly, leave some for me!"

For a moment, the dishes and chopsticks collided with each other.

Xu Qingqing watched the three people wolfing down their food, picking up the food slowly and leisurely. Seeing that Xiao Yuheng didn't move his chopsticks, she naturally picked up a piece of celery and put it into his bowl.

After picking up the dishes, both of them were a little dazed.

Xu Qingqing: It’s over, it’s over. Why am I so rude! If he refuses to eat it, won’t I be embarrassed? !

"Uh, well, if you don't want to eat it, just throw it away..."

"No, I like it very much."

Before Xu Qingqing could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xiao Yuheng. The next second, he ate the celery naturally with a smile on his face.

Xu Qingqing felt like she was going to dig a three-bedroom apartment out of her toes. "Hahaha, as long as you like it, eat more, eat more!"

As he said this, he passed the celery on the table to Xiao Yuheng.

The corners of Xiao Yuheng's mouth curled up more and more obviously.

Suddenly, a low voice of discussion attracted Xu Qingqing's attention.

"Have you heard? It seems that Chunxianglou in town is about to close." A middle-aged man in a gray gown put down his chopsticks and said mysteriously to his friend at the same table.

"What? Chunxianglou is closing?" The friend at the same table, a thin old man with a mustache, was obviously a little surprised and stared at the middle-aged man with wide eyes.

"Yeah, I just heard about it too. They said business is bad and they can't continue." The middle-aged man sighed, with a look of regret on his face.

"How is this possible? Chunxianglou is a time-honored brand in our town. It has been around for many years. How could it just close down like this?" The old man with a mustache shook his head, obviously not quite believing the news.

The conversation between the two attracted the attention of people around them, and many people began to come over, wanting to hear the authenticity of the news.

"Oh, think about it, that brothel was a scenic spot in our town in the past." A man who looked like a scholar sighed, with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

"Yes, back then, there was music and dancing there every night, and the lights were bright. Many dignitaries and talented people flocked there."

"I heard that most of the girls in that brothel have left, and the remaining ones are nothing worth seeing." A young man interrupted with a look of disdain on his face.

"Hey, but Mei Niang didn't leave. Speaking of Mei Niang, she is really, wow, the best of Chunxianglou!"

At this time, a middle-aged woman curled her lips and said in a harsh tone: "But then again, it's a good thing that the brothel is closed. After all, that kind of place, hehe..."

"That's not true. Brothels do have their significance. At least they provide a place for people who have nowhere else to go," a young man argued.

Everyone was talking about it, some were regretful, some were sighing, and some were gloating.

Xu Qingqing was excited when she heard this, and thought to herself that this was really God’s help, sending me a pillow just when I was sleepy.

Recalling the decoration of Chunxianglou that I saw today, it was elegant yet gorgeous, and every detail revealed refinement and taste.

The house is big enough to accommodate many guests, and the location is excellent, located in a busy area of ​​the town with a large flow of people.

If Chunxianglou is really going to close down, it would undoubtedly be a great business opportunity for me.

Xu Qingqing secretly calculated that if she could negotiate the deal at a suitable price, she could renovate Chunxianglou and perhaps turn it into a unique restaurant, teahouse, or a local landmark to continue to attract customers, or even take it to a higher level.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingqing's heart was filled with anticipation and excitement.

I can't wait to have a good talk with the owner of Chun Xiang Lou. After all, opportunities never come again.

After finishing their meal, Xu Qingqing and a few others quickly returned along the way and arrived at the door of Chunxiang Tower.

Chunxiang Tower still looks as prosperous as before, but Xu Qingqing sees the loneliness and desolation hidden in it at this moment.

She understood that this brothel might be coming to an end, but for her, it was a new beginning.

She led a few people and walked straight to the entrance of Chunxiang Tower. Mei Niang, who was upstairs watching them leave and come back, had a thoughtful look in her eyes.

He withdrew his hand from his chin, slowly stood up and walked downstairs.
