Chapter 21 Small acts of kindness

There are not many people entering the city, and the streets are wide, so the streets are a bit deserted. Wang Yi and others, who are dressed in a relatively luxurious manner, still seem a little abrupt when they stand there.

Seeing Wang Yi standing on the street and watching, Wang Zhou looked a little surprised, hurriedly approached Wang Yi and said whispered: "Second Young Master, let's go first, go to Shifang. It's very lively and there are some restaurants. Let's go there!"

"Oh, okay!" Wang Yi agreed immediately. He knew that the cities in the Tang Dynasty did not have places to sell things everywhere like in later generations, and there were not many restaurants where they could eat. Most of the shops and restaurants that sold things were located in specially set up "City" yards, or nearby. There were two cities in the east and west of the Tang Dynasty. There were also similar cities like Hangzhou, such as Hangzhou.

The city should be the most lively place in Hangzhou. When you come to Hangzhou, go there first, take a look, buy something, take it back, and then take a look around the city, take a look at the general situation in Hangzhou, and then go to the West Lake to have fun before dark. Today's itinerary can be basically arranged like this.

Wang Yi really wanted to stay in Hangzhou for one night, but when he thought of Wang Zuo's majestic old guy, Wang Jin, Wang Fu and other people with strong and handsome faces in the village, he didn't dare to have such thoughts. Today he came secretly. Wang Zuo might tolerate such behavior, but if he stayed in Hangzhou for one night, this person who actually controlled the management power in the village might be furious.

The group walked northwest under the guidance of Wang Ting, who had nothing to say but had a very alert look around.

Wang Tan, who was very excited, kept asking Wang Yishi for almost a moment, and Wang Yi also answered one by one. Wang Yi couldn't answer, and Wang Zhou, who was walking beside him, would answer for him.

After walking a short distance, I heard noisy voices coming, and more people on the streets, the houses were obviously getting better, and I could see several restaurants carrying curtains. It seemed that the market was about to arrive.

But just when Wang Yi saw the door of Shifang and was about to walk towards the direction where Shifang was, he was stopped by Wang Ting.

"Second Young Master, let's go here. It's lunch time. Let's have a meal first! I heard that the "Mengxianglou" over there is quite good food and clean. Sitting upstairs can see most of Hangzhou clearly, so we'll go to that restaurant." Wang Ting looked very respectful as he spoke, but Wang Yi felt strange, as if he was unconventional.

Wang Yi followed Wang Ting's gesture and looked forward. Seeing the location of Linshifang, there was a restaurant with a very elegant decoration from the outside. Although he felt a little strange in his heart, he did not refuse. He nodded to Wang Ting, "Okay, then let's go there..."

Wang listened to the invitation gesture and walked in front first. Wang Yi led Wang Tan, who was very curious and looked around, and went towards the restaurant.

Just as they stepped into the restaurant called "Mengxianglou", a man who looked like a shopkeeper and a waiter had already greeted him. "Several guests, please come upstairs!" The shopkeeper respectfully saluted Wang Yi and Wang Tan.

The shopkeeper came to greet him in person, and was so polite that Wang Yi felt the taste of entering a hotel in later generations. It seemed that the shopkeepers in ancient times were also good at looking at people doing business. When they saw them coming in and dressed well, they knew how much money they had in their pockets and would spend money here, and there was a good business to come to him, and even the shop owner came to greet him in person.

Wang Ting was very respectful to the shopkeeper and replied with a greeting in front of Wang Yi: "I'm sorry, the shopkeeper!" He turned around and bowed to Wang Yi, "Second Young Master, Third Girl, please go upstairs!"

The shopkeeper who was tall opposite Wang Yi nodded, and led by another follower Wang Hua, took Wang Tan's hand upstairs. Wang Zhou and Wang Ning also followed, but Wang Ting was still talking to the shopkeeper.

Wang Yi thought that Wang was following the instructions of the shopkeeper to serve wine and food, so he didn't care, so he followed Wang Hua into a private room.

This is the private room on the second floor. It is very large, with two rooms inside and outside, which can be eaten by multiple people. The furnishings inside are not bad, and it can even be described as a bit luxurious. Wang Yi thinks this private room is too big, so he and Wang Tan have two meals. Several followers will not eat with his brother and sister. It is too wasteful to occupy such a large and well-decorated private room. It only takes a small private room, or just sit in the lobby and eat a little casually. Today, his purpose of coming to Hangzhou is mainly to see the situation in the city, go to the city to see something, buy something, and go to the West Lake to stroll around later. What to eat is secondary. If you don’t have enough time, he doesn’t want to waste time on eating.

"Wang Zhou," Wang Yi called Wang Zhou over and ordered softly: "Let's change to a small private room to eat. This one is too big, just eat a little bit. The young master wants to have some fun in a while, so he has to hurry up!"

"Second Young Master, there are many people in the lobby. Now the world is still chaotic. The second Young Master is so outstanding that it will be troublesome to be targeted by evil people. We should not go to the lobby. There are no other private rooms available. There is only this private room. We will just put it in, and we won't... The food will come up soon. Master, don't worry!" Wang Zhou answered respectfully, but it smelled a little bit reluctant to speak.

After hearing Wang Zhou say this, although Wang Yi was quite confused, he knew that when he just entered the restaurant, he did not see the lobby full of diners, and there were several private rooms next to him. However, when he saw Wang Zhou's uneasy eyes, he stopped asking anything. He sat down in the inner room with Wang Tanyi. After Wang Zhou gave a tribute, he also walked outside.

It was almost the same when they sat down, the wine and food came. Most of them were hot dishes. The table was full of them. The speed was so fast that Wang Yi was surprised. When he entered the hotel, he clearly saw that there were many diners in the lobby, and some people were eating in the private room next door. Those who came earlier than them did not serve the wine and food, and even if they were served, they only had a few cold dishes. Why could they serve so many hot dishes?

Moreover, the dishes for several followers in the outer room were also served. Although the dishes were a little less, they were all hot dishes. Is there any agreement with this restaurant on the farm? It is a VIP customer and can have special treatments and priority? This should not be popular in the Tang Dynasty, right?

The food is good. After the waiters stepped down, Wang heard it and said to Wang Yi: "Second Young Master, please use it slowly with the third girl. The younger ones are outside. Just call me if you have anything to do!"

"Wang listen, why do you order so many dishes? Where did we eat so much?" Wang Yi pointed to the dishes full of dishes. In later generations, he never liked waste and despised waste. Today, this is obviously a waste, and he felt a little uncomfortable. The previous two days Wang Zuo didn't say that he was suffering from disaster this year. Since he was suffering from disaster, he had to save money. How could he waste so much? Moreover, when he just entered the city, Wang Yi saw that there were many homeless beggars at the gate of the city, and there were similar people on the street outside the restaurant.

"Second Young Master, these are the special dishes in Mengxianglou! Mengxianglou is the largest restaurant in Hangzhou City. Their dishes are very famous in Hangzhou City at this time. You are here for the first time to try these dishes. Let's see which dishes are the best. You can ask them to make them next time you come!" Wang Ting said carefully, and exchanged glances with Wang Hua and others standing outside.

Wang Yi saw that Wang Ting had been with him all the time and couldn't bear to blame him. He waved his hand and signaled several followers to go to dinner.

The four followers were all having meals outside, and Wang Yi and Wang Tan were in the inner room. During the meal, no one else made any sound except Wang Tan's inquiry and Wang Yi's answer to Wang Tan's voice.

To be honest, these dishes tasted pretty good, better than what Wang Yi had in the village, but he and Wang Tan couldn't eat much. The two of them finished their meal soon. Wang Yi looked at the most dishes on the table, and felt a little guilty. Before entering Hangzhou City, he saw many wanderers outside the city. He just entered the restaurant and saw some beggars. They were not covered in clothes and had a lot of dishes on their faces, but they were wasting here, and they really felt sorry.

Wang Zhou and several other entourages also finished their meals and were waiting in the outer room, waiting for Wang Yi's instructions.

Wang Yi called a few people in and ordered: "It's a waste to eat so many dishes. You can distribute these unfinished dishes to those begging outside so that they can temporarily relieve their hunger, fill their stomachs, and even save lives!"

"Second Young Master, this..." Wang Zhou and others looked at each other, and they didn't expect Wang Yi to give such instructions.

"Yes, what my second brother said is that we can't finish so many dishes, so we can give them to those who are not full of food!" Wang Tan, who was on the side, also echoed Wang Yi and said.

"Why don't you go quickly!" Seeing several followers hesitating, Wang Yi's eyes were unhappy and his face also pulled down!

"Yes, the second young master!" Wang Zhou and others had to respond, but they were still a little reluctant to see their expressions.

Several people were about to take action when the shopkeeper trotted in from outside, bowed to Wang Yi and said, "Two... This young man, if the beggars outside give them food, they will come every day, which will affect the hotel business and ruin the reputation of the hotel!"

"The leftover dishes were poured in the end. It would be better to give them to those begging outside, or this would make the restaurant more famous. A small kind act may be rewarded in the future. Do you think the shopkeeper?" Wang Yi stared at the shopkeeper and said patiently.

When Wang Yi stared at him with sharp eyes, the shopkeeper was a little stunned and looked respectful. He did not argue anymore. Instead, he immediately agreed: "Yes, what this young master said was very true. The young man immediately ordered someone to distribute these leftover vegetables to those begging outside. How can this little good deed not do this? But he didn't dare to bother several guests. This young master, you go by yourself, those who are small things will be arranged by themselves!"

Wang Yi stared at the shopkeeper and suddenly found that Wang Ting around him was a bit similar to the shopkeeper. He thought of something like a sudden light of inspiration. He suddenly understood, but he didn't say anything and pulled Wang Tan's men downstairs...
