Chapter 268: Branch Establishment
Dojima Gin and Nakiri Sensaemon did not stay for dinner, and sat for a while before leaving.
As soon as the two of them left, Yaeko Utsunozaki came.
Her car was parked at the door of the shop.
Xia Yu heard the sound and went out.
"A week, as agreed, the construction will be completed as scheduled!" Minenosaki took off her sunglasses.
"I'll send you the remaining amount tonight." Xia Yu said.
“Does our 'urban life planning company' need to take action?”
Minenosaki looked at him with her fox-like charming pupils.
"I found a professional company to take charge of the decoration."
Xia Yu shrugged.
"Professional company?" Minenosaki sneered, "Our company also has a special decoration department."
"never mind."
She waved her hand, "When will your branch open?"
"Two days later." Xia Yu directly gave a specific time.
"I'll come here in those two days."
Fengnozaki didn't stay for a long time. She originally wanted to talk to Xia Yu about decoration, but he found another company to take charge.
Watching Fengnosaki go away.
Before she left, she left the key to the branch. Xia Yu opened the branch that was renovated from the bathhouse.
Push open a main door and you will see the spacious lobby.
The entrance to the door is where you take off your shoes. There is a classic screen on the front. On the side of the right hand against the wall is the original shoe cabinet of the bathhouse. Guests will take off their shoes here. The waiter will put the shoes in the cabinet to store them and wear them when leaving.
Since it is VIP area, Xia Yu plans to follow the Japanese tradition and take off his shoes to eat. There are no chairs or stools in the private room upstairs, only tables, cushions and tatamis.
At the entrance of the stairs, it is the checkout front desk.
However, since the bathhouse was abandoned for a while, the furniture seemed relatively old and the flowers and plants had withered. Xia Yu asked Fengnosaki's construction team to treat it as garbage, so the lobby seemed too empty and there were no decorations.
Just as Xia Yu frowned, the system woke up and suddenly a prompt popped up:
"Items that can be added were detected."
"Please name the new project."
“Xia Branch!”
The system finally came out, Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a hint of excitement.
“The naming is successful!”
With a beep prompt, the three-dimensional projection of the branch was displayed on Xia Yu's vision. Since the branch was in the original form and had no upgrade projects, the building frame was all green lines.
"System, list upgradeable projects!" Xia Yu said.
“Lobby/Parquet/Private Room.”
“Kitchen/Ingredient Library.”
Are there 5 upgrade projects in total?
Xia Yu secretly compared that Xia’s store includes a living area, so there is no one living in the branch for this extra project.
Moreover, in the branch VIP area, there are only private rooms and no storefronts.
"Let's upgrade the lobby first!"
Scanning the empty and quiet ground floor lobby, Xia Yu told the system.
So, three different upgrade plans pop up.
The first type is gentle.
The second type is Western style.
The third type is Chinese style.
Hefeng is undoubtedly the closest to the original style of this building. After Xia Yu selected it, he immediately lost 1,000 fame points.
At the same time, colorful grids appeared in Xia Yu's vision. Xia Yu had the illusion of being in the data world. These grids existed for about half a minute, and then the lobby was completely renewed.
"This... is upgraded immediately? Is there no need for upgrade time?" Xia Yu was stunned and returned to the entrance of the door.
The first is the wooden floor, which is gone and re-colored, but the color is restrained.
"Shoe cabinet..." Xia Yu glanced at it and was stunned.
The wooden furniture has relief on the surface. This one is a dragon flying in the clouds and a phoenix spreading its wings on the other end.
The carvings are shallow, and it is difficult to identify if you don't pay attention to them.
The original mid-to-low furniture decoration immediately gives people a high-end and restrained temperament.
Xia Yu had already taken off her shoes and was wearing only white socks. While walking, she looked at the upgraded lobby and finally arrived at the counter at the stairs.
The counter and the lattice cabinet standing against the back wall are also antique. There are some antiques and utensils on the lattice, which are spotless.
Go upstairs along the stairs.
Hey.
On the walls of the stair platform, there are two simple Chinese paintings, one is a green bamboo picture and the other is a fisherman fishing in the cold river. All of them are attached with poems:
Green bamboo enters the secluded path, and green radish blows on her clothes.
The old man in a straw raincoat and hat is alone in a boat, fishing for the snow in the cold river.
Arrive on the second floor.
Standing at the entrance of the stairs, there is a small display stand next to it, one high and one low on the stage, and there are two Taidao knives.
"Clang—"
Xia Yu took one, drew his sword and unsheathed it. The cold light immediately rushed towards him. His pupils shrank slightly, "So sharp!"
At this point, the lobby upgrade project is gone.
On the second floor, there are private rooms, which have not been upgraded, and the scenery and temperament are incompatible with the newly upgraded lobby.
"Upgrade the private room!" Xia Yu said to the system.
"You lost 1,000 fame points..."
The colored grid appears again, and when the grid disappears, the layout of the second floor has not changed.
Xia Yu stood in front of a paper sliding door. The sliding door was white and translucent, with two Kabuki portraits faintly.
Behind the sliding door is a small room with beige as the main color. The four walls are beige and green bamboo is carved. The ground is full of tatami, and the fragrance of straw comes to your nose.
The wood-colored tea table is placed in the center of the room, with cushions around it, two classical lanterns falling to the ground in the corner, and a lantern emitting a faint dim light above the head. There are flower pots on the cabinet and a few simple daisies are planted.
Xia Yu then went to inspect other private rooms.
From the second floor to the third floor, there are 5 private rooms on each floor. He finally returns to the starting private room, holding his chin, murmured with shock in his eyes: "Each private room has a different decoration style."
Some have bonsai and calligraphy, while others have samurai armor.
Although he didn't understand the tricks, Xia Yu couldn't help but secretly praised the working efficiency of the system master. If he handed it over to Fengnosaki's urban life planning company, could he design such an effect be different. The time cost required is too high, and he can't afford to wait.
"By the way, the courtyard!" Xia Yu patted his forehead, making his dizzy head clear.
There are also two private rooms on the first floor, which are two very special private rooms with viewing. They are usually not open. They are free to entertain guests who suddenly come to the door, such as Gin Doshima and Sensaemon Nakiri.
Needless to say, the importance of the courtyard scenery.
While walking, Xia Yu spent 1,000 points of fame and continued the third upgrade plan.
When he walked to the yard, the colorful grid happened to disappear in view.
When he opened the door, the deep courtyard painting slowly unfolded in his eyes. Xia Yu looked at the small pond surrounding him, and then at the dense and deep grass around him, he was slightly stunned.
"I feel like an old temple, isn't it too much?" he murmured, deeply suspicious.
Such an amazing branch was renovated in two days.
If the woman Minenosaki came over and ran into her, wouldn’t she be suspicious?
Don't care!
The idea just changed. Xia Yu turned around and upgraded the kitchen and ingredient library, spending all the 5,000 fame points won from the exchange meeting two days ago.
"System: Get new tasks."
“【VIP branch has a good start】.”
"Tip: At least 10 batches of VIP customers were invited on the first day of opening a store, with revenue reaching 20 million yen on the same day."
“Reward: [Pixiu Wood Carving] (Purple)*1, [Quick Memory Pill] (Purple)*1.”
Quick memory pills?
Xia Yu stopped at the entrance of the stairs to extract information on the items.
"【Quick Memory Pills】: After use, it can greatly improve the basic skills training efficiency. It is recommended that the host use this prop to practice the four basic skills of "kneading", "dough kneading", "skin making" in the pastry field."
Good thing!
