There was nothing to talk about these days.
In a flash, it was the beginning of January.
There were three hottest days in summer and three coldest days in winter.
The third nine days after the Winter Solstice was also the coldest time of the year.
Because it was winter, ice had already formed in Houhai before the end of the third and ninth day.
Now that the lake was frozen, the anticipated ice skating rink was about to open!
This was a big event that would be on the news.
After the news was broadcast, Houhai, which was deserted a few days ago, finally ushered in the most lively time of the winter.
After breakfast.
Chen Xi had just walked out of Dongming Alley with the little fellow when a burst of lively noise came from afar.
Just like going to the countryside to go to the market, the father and daughter turned the corner and came to the street outside the teahouse, only to find that a lot of people suddenly appeared on the lakeside of Houhai.
As the Holy Land of Skating in the eyes of the old Shangjing people, once the Shichahai Ice Rink opened, even if they lived outside the Third Ring Road, they would still come to play.
This was the feeling.
Because they were poor in the past, there were not so many entertainment projects. Swimming in summer and skating in winter naturally became the first choice of entertainment for the people.
The little fellow was stunned.
When they left yesterday, there was not even a ghost here.
How did this place become as lively as a market in just one night?
Looking around, the lakeside of Houhai was already full of red lanterns, and very festive music was playing in the ice rink.
It was as if there was going to be a festival, and the atmosphere was very festive.
It was now nine o 'clock in the morning. When the father and daughter walked into the teahouse, the ice rink was not open yet, so most of the people were concentrated on the streets on both sides of the lake.
The staff of the Sports Bureau, the Public Security Bureau, the Safety Supervision Bureau and other departments were conducting ice testing inspection on the Shichahai Ice Rink. After the inspection, the Shichahai Ice Rink could officially open for business.
Chen Xi had just hung the "open for business" sign when two young people with ice skates came in.
"Boss, two cups of vegetarian tea."
The ice testing inspection generally took about two hours. The young people did not want to stand outside in the cold wind, so they came in.
There was heating in the teahouse, so it was very warm and comfortable as soon as they came in.
In addition, Chen Xi would light an incense when he had nothing to do, so the smell in the teahouse became very good, so it gave people a feeling that they did not want to go out again.
Because he had to boil the water, it took him nearly 20 minutes to brew the first pot of tea.
Just as he delivered the two cups of tea to the young man, the teahouse welcomed a new customer.
There were five or six guests, men and women, old and young. It was obvious that they were a big family.
This was the earliest day of business since Chen Xi took over the teahouse.
It could only be said that the peak season came too suddenly.
The little girl sat in the children's playground, looking at the guests who kept coming in. Her little face was full of surprise.
She was very sensible. When she saw that Chen Xi was alone, he had to greet the guests and pour tea for them.
The little fellow took the initiative to run to Chen Xi's side. She raised her head and said sweetly, "Papa! Let me help you! "
"Good girl."
Chen Xi smiled and stroked the little fellow's head. Then, he handed a cup of green tea to her and said, "Come on, give it to that uncle, and then to sister … Be careful, don't fall."
"Yeah, yeah!"
The little fellow nodded like she was pounding garlic. Then, she carefully took the teacup in Chen Xi's hand.
Because she was afraid of spilling the tea, the little fellow straightened her back and her whole little face became serious.
The guests were a young couple. After the little fellow put the teacup on the guest's table, she smiled sweetly and said, "Uncle, have some tea!"
The young man, who was estimated to be in his twenties, was stunned by her calling him uncle.
Before he could come back to his senses, the little girl had already run back to the bar counter and brought over another cup of tea.
"Sister, have some tea!"
The two guests were obviously a couple.
As a result, the little fellow called the man uncle and the woman sister, which immediately made them laugh.
"This child is so cute!"
"Yes, why don't we have a child?"
"Get out!"
The guests came one after another without stopping. So, just after ten o 'clock, the teahouse was already full!
The little fellow sat on Chen Xi's lap and put her head on the bar. Her big round eyes kept scanning the teahouse lobby in front of her, and she couldn't help giggling.
"Papa! Business is good today! "
The business was good, and the little fellow was very proud, so she didn't go to the children's playground today. Instead, she sat at the bar and waited for the guests to greet her.
Whenever she heard a customer shouting for more water, the little girl would run over with a small water bottle in her arms.
To her, this kind of menial task of pouring tea was more fun than stacking blocks.
According to his usual habits, Gu Lao usually came to the teahouse after eleven o 'clock.
It was estimated that he also knew the news of the opening of the Shichahai Skating Rink today, so he came much earlier than usual.
As soon as the two brothers entered the door, they were immediately stunned by the lively scene in front of them.
"Here, here!"
As soon as she saw her friends coming, the little fellow excitedly waved to the two brothers.
There were no seats in the teahouse, so Chen Xi asked Gu Lao to sit behind the bar, and the three little guys went back to their exclusive children's playground.
About half an hour later, someone suddenly shouted, "The ice rink is open!"
This sentence was like throwing a match into a pile of explosives, causing a violent reaction in an instant.
The guests asked Chen Xi to pay the bill.
As soon as he reported a number, before he walked out of the bar, the guests had taken the initiative to give him the money and then quickly walked out of the teahouse.
In less than ten minutes, the teahouse, which was full of guests just now, was deserted again, leaving only countless empty teacups and melon seed shells on the ground.
Seeing this, Gu Lao called out the three little guys and then arranged work for them.
The elder brother wiped the table, the younger brother swept the floor, and the little one was responsible for setting the chairs.
After cleaning up the teahouse, Chen Xi calculated the income of this morning.
In less than two hours, the teahouse had earned 1,500 yuan.
Today was also the only profitable day since he took over the teahouse …
After calculating the account, without waiting for the three little guys to speak, Gu Lao asked with a smile, "I'm old and can't run anymore. Why don't you take them out to play, and I'll guard the shop for you?"
Hearing this, Chen Xi glanced at the three little guys who were lying by the window and watching the fun, and said with a smile, "Okay, then you have a good rest here, and I'll take them out to play."
Why was the teahouse doing well?
Because not far from the door was the fourth entrance of the Shichahai Ice Rink.
The total area of the Shichahai Ice Rink was as high as 160,000 square meters, and there were as many as ten ice entertainment projects.
In addition to the traditional ice skating, there were also ice bicycles, ice motorcycles, ice slides, ice hockey, ice bumper cars, and so on.
In addition, according to the area, the Shichahai Ice Rink was also divided into a free entertainment area, a comprehensive skating area, an ice hockey area, a speed skating area, an ice golf area, an ice bed passage, and a special children's entertainment area.
How could the small artificial ice rink in the shopping mall be comparable to such a huge skating rink?
As soon as they entered the ice rink, Chen Xi rented an ice car for the three little guys.
The so-called ice car was actually a simple sleigh with a row of iron stools welded on two iron bars.
Chen Xi sat in the front, and the three little guys sat behind him.
After shouting "take off", Chen Xi took two thin iron bars and kept drawing on the ground.
Just like a boatman paddling, as he slid hard, he suddenly pulled the three little guys on the ice.
