The lobby was big enough, Gu Fei also asked the craftsmen to create scenery inside, dug a pool, and piled up a small rockery with stones. There are also goldfish in the pool and various green plants around the pool.
There was also a small bluestone arch bridge over the pool that was more than one meter long, which can be passed through.
There were many gardens in the Jiangnan area, and this scenery was not uncommon, but no one had ever built a rockery pool and a small bridge inside a house.
Everyone felt fresh for a while.
Look up at the roof again, and the roof was full of lanterns of various sizes, with different colors and shapes.
Sister Dan clapped her hands: “Oh, I like this house.”
“I have never seen such a fresh and interesting house.”
Everyone looked around and exchanged greetings, and it was soon noon.
Gu Fei had already prepared wine and food, and three tables were set up in the lobby. The waiters smiled and shuttled in the hall to serve dishes. Gu Fei looked for a while and was quite satisfied, and then personally cooked spicy clams.
Young Master Zhou was so happy with the meal that he said to Gu Fei when he left: “Xiao Fei, can I come to your house for dinner in the future? I love spicy food. Young Master Zhu is too black-hearted. He relies on the fact that only his family has chili peppers and charges 2 taels of silver for a dish. Humph, I won’t go to his restaurant for dinner in the future.”
Gu Fei smiled: “If Young Master Zhou likes it, just come. In another month, fresh chili peppers will be harvested. Then I will cook some dishes with fresh chili peppers for you to try.”
Young Master Zhou was overjoyed: “Then it’s a deal. I’ll come to eat in a month!”
Sister Dan took Young Master Zhou away and smiled at Gu Fei: “Don’t pay attention to him. He likes all delicious food.”
The guests left one after another, and the lobby became deserted in an instant.
The guys wiped the tables, collected the dishes, and swept the floor. Soon, the place was clean.
Just as Gu Fei was about to go behind the counter, she saw her mother standing inside the counter, looking nervous, and occasionally looking back at the jade cabbage and cornucopia in the wine cabinet behind her.
Gu Fei chuckled: “Mom, go eat quickly, no need to stay here.”
Gu Sanlang ran over and pointed at the wine cabinet behind Gu Fei: “Sister, is the gold and silver in the white jade basin real or fake? I wanted to ask a long time ago, but there were so many people, so I didn’t dare to ask.”
Gu Fei took down the cornucopia: “Here, take a look for yourself.”
Gu Sanlang’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t let go of the gold ingot and took a closer look at it in his hand.
Mrs. Chen grabbed it and said: “What are you looking at? They are all your sisters. It’s useless for you to look at them.”
She put the gold ingot back into the treasure bowl and patted her chest: “Oh, I’m so scared. There are so many people here. I’m afraid that this thing will be stolen by someone. This bright gold is placed here. Not to mention being touched, it’s possible to be robbed.”
“Hurry up and put these away. Putting them here will attract thieves.”
Gu Fei nodded. It was indeed not suitable to put these valuables in this hall.
She carried the jade cabbage herself, and her mother held the treasure bowl. The two of them went into a room, and Gu Fei put them into the space together.
As soon as she came out of the room, she heard a cheerful voice coming from the door, “Welcome—”
“Sir, are you staying overnight or staying at the hotel?”
“If you are staying overnight, we can not only provide meals but also hourly rooms for you to rest.”
“If you are staying at the hotel, we have several rooms for you to choose from.”
