The first floor is divided into several areas, including a jewelry area, a ready-made clothing and silk area, and an area with various cute doll pendants.
Some people noticed that the jewelry section looked particularly familiar. After taking a closer look, they were surprised. Aren’t these the products from Baoyuefang and Cuiyuxuan, the most famous jewelry shops in Kyoto?
This situation fueled everyone's wildest dreams, and they all wondered, could the owner behind this be incredibly powerful? After all, in Kyoto, the most famous jewelry comes from these two houses. If these two houses were owned by the same owner, then that owner must be a truly powerful figure. Because of this, those who had initially planned to stir up trouble quietly put aside their thoughts and dared not act rashly.
After seeing the ready-made clothes with patterns and styles that they had never seen before, some women seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move their feet, their eyes completely attracted by the exquisite ready-made clothes.
Young girls rushed to the doll section, each picking up their favorite dolls and examining them repeatedly, their affection overflowing with words, unwilling to put them down even for a moment. When they learned the dolls were only a few cents, the girls cheered with excitement. Women from more affluent families generously selected several dolls of varying styles, intending to take them home as gifts for their sisters. Even women from modest backgrounds found their favorites and headed upstairs, contented.
The second floor houses a custom-made area, divided equally between men's and women's. The fabrics and clothing on display here are clearly more luxurious and exquisite, clearly aimed at the wealthy. A separate section features exquisitely embroidered pillows in a variety of patterns, as well as bedding sets that easily transform the style of your bed, giving it a completely new look with just one set. Several older, more affluent men and women paused, eager to take in the sights.
Someone sniffed the alluring aromas that permeated the air, and unknowingly arrived at the third floor. Upon reaching the third floor, one could see the left side divided into compartments. Each compartment had a scroll placed at the entrance, vividly depicting the delicacies served within. These delicacies were unprecedented to most people: exquisite, mouth-watering snacks, a variety of fruit wines and spirits, and a variety of unique snacks that were new and novel.
On the right side, there are small private rooms, with small tables in the middle area that can seat two to four people. If someone finds the surrounding environment too noisy, they can enter the private room for a small fee and enjoy the food in a quiet and comfortable environment.
In the center of the third floor, there is a high platform. The storyteller on the platform is telling wonderful stories that no one has ever heard of.
Almost everyone who comes to the third floor stops here. Men often order new snacks and various drinks, while women are particularly fond of the various fruit teas.
The fruit teas were served in bamboo slips with a hollow straw inserted in the middle. The bamboo jars were also engraved with exquisite patterns. The waiter also explained that if the jars were returned, they would receive a ticket for a second cup at half price, a gesture that surprised and delighted many women.
There were also a few individuals who were curious and wanted to go up to the fourth floor, but they had no choice but to stop at the stairs.
There was a door blocking the entrance to the fourth floor, and two graceful girls stood at the door. Seeing someone approaching, the girls stretched out their hands to stop them, and at the same time gestured to the person to look at the notice on the wall to the left.
Those who wanted to go upstairs stopped and read carefully, only to learn that the fourth floor was a VIP area, accessible only by paying the required amount of silver. Furthermore, on the fourth floor, one could order a variety of delicacies. This requirement discouraged those without the financial resources and stopped them from moving forward. However, some who had the financial resources, seeing the rules as merely a small amount of money, immediately declared their intention to become VIP guests on the fourth floor.
Someone was already waiting on one side. Upon hearing this, they immediately stepped forward and respectfully led him to the counter to apply for a VIP card. Those with the financial resources and the interest naturally stepped forward, while those who tried to sneak in to watch the fun had no choice but to stop and then disperse.
The fourth floor had a reserved space in the middle, surrounded by private rooms. Small tables were placed around the staircase. No guests had come up yet, but from a corner room, standing at the doorway, one could see the entire scene below.
Fang Yueniang and Luo Shuiyao were here. Luo Shuiyao looked at this scene and felt in her heart that everything was no longer as unreal as before, as if her feet had finally stepped on solid ground, and there was no longer that dreamlike feeling of unreality.
Fang Yueniang looked at the bustling and crowded scene downstairs and was filled with admiration for Luo Shuiyao. She said, "Sister, how on earth did you come up with all this? It's truly amazing! Based on my many years of experience, our Qingyue Tower will surely be packed with customers in the future."
Luo Shuiyao turned around and smiled, "I want to thank you, sister, and all the other managers. You've all put so much effort into our Qingyue Tower these past few days. After you're done with your work these past few days, sister, please make arrangements so everyone can enjoy our home-cooked food. We must treat the maids and servants, as well as the managers, like family. The longevity of our Qingyue Tower depends on them."
Fang Yue Niang nodded: "Don't worry, sister, I understand this matter."
Luo Shuiyao smiled and stepped forward to grab Fang Yueniang's hand: "The one I should thank the most is you, sister. If it weren't for you, I don't know how much effort I would have put in to accomplish these things."
Fang Yueniang patted her hands and said, "Sister, you are too kind. I will do everything according to your arrangements. I just spent some time and effort."
Luo Shuiyao stopped being polite after hearing this and just kept the words of gratitude in her heart. She thought to herself that if everything was to go on track, she would have to plan everything in this building carefully.
When she was at the villa, she had written to Fang Yueniang to discuss cooperation with Baoyuefang and Cuiyuxuan. It wasn't a bad idea for these families; they only needed to provide their own items and send someone to supervise them. The money from the sales would still belong to them, and they only needed to pay Qingyuelou a small amount for the rent.
Although the two families were hesitant at first, after Fang Yue Niang visited them several times to communicate, they realized that this matter would only benefit them and would not cause any harm, and finally they nodded in agreement.
