Chapter 140 Chuan Restaurant
Chapter 140 Baichuan Restaurant
This year's winter seems to be earlier than usual.
It has only just entered October, and many people in Xianyang City have already thickened their clothes, and some wealthy families even wear fur coats on their bodies.
And in this kind of chilly weather, a five-story restaurant with a magnificent exterior decoration named [Baichuan] quietly opened in the DC area of Xianyang Palace.
[Baichuan Restaurant] immediately attracted the attention of a large number of passers-by as soon as it opened.
One reason is that five-story buildings are rare these days.
The second reason is that since the opening of this restaurant, the inside has been exuding an extremely attractive aroma towards the outside.
Xianyang DC District was originally the residence of high-ranking officials and nobles. Many of the passers-by along the way were rich and wealthy aristocrats. However, even if they have tasted delicious food from all over the world, they have never smelled such a unique aroma. .
They didn't even taste it, just smelling the smell already made many people salivate.
"Strange, what is this smell, why have I never smelled it before?"
"It's true that I have tasted delicious food from all over the world, but I have never smelled this smell before."
"The sea is open to all rivers and rivers, the owner of this restaurant is really brave!"
"How about it, brother Lu, are you interested in going in and seeing it?"
"Hahaha~~Brother Zhang invites you, how dare you refuse."
······
With curiosity in their hearts, someone couldn't help but walked into the restaurant soon.
As soon as they entered the restaurant, some people noticed something strange, because they found that the ground they were stepping on was neither green bricks nor wooden boards.
It was an unusually hard and flat floor, which looked as if it had been cut from a whole huge boulder and then embedded in the ground.
"Guest officials, please, which floor do you want to eat on?"
Just when several people were curious about the novelty of the ground, a waiter in a waiter's costume greeted him with a smile on his face, bent down and said.
Hearing what the shop waiter said, one of the young men immediately raised his chin and said loudly, "It goes without saying, of course it's the top floor? Are you worried that the young master won't be able to pay?"
Seeing the other party's haughty appearance, the waiter in the shop was not only not annoyed, but smiled deeper, nodded and bowed and said with an apologetic smile: "Of course I don't dare to doubt the financial resources of the distinguished guests, but if you want to go to the top floor, financial resources are not enough. You also need to be invited by the little master's family to be eligible."
Hearing this, the three people in front of them looked at each other, and then saw another person come out, cupped their hands and said: "Then how can I be invited by the master of your building?"
The shop clerk smiled and said: "I don't know about this small one, but the shopkeeper mentioned it before, and now there are only three guests who have been personally invited by our host, namely the current king, General Meng Ao and Wang Jian. General."
"..."
This statement came out.
The air in the lobby of the restaurant seemed to be quiet.
And the young man who seemed very arrogant just now was also instantly silent.
In fact, the reason why these people seemed arrogant just now was just to test the background of this restaurant. After all, Xianyang DC District is the gathering place of the entire Qin State's dignitaries and nobles. To rashly play prestige in this area.
It's just that the result of the test frightened the group of people into stupidity.
For a while.
I just saw an older young man among the few people, who coughed lightly and said: "Ahem~~ I have just come to your place, and I don't know much about the rules of your restaurant, can I ask this little brother to introduce you a little bit?" some."
"The honored guests are being polite, but since the honored guests want to hear it, the little one will show off and show off."
The waiter of Baichuan Restaurant has obviously been specially trained, and soon bent down and led a few people into the restaurant, and said slowly: "Baichuan Restaurant has five floors, except for the top floor, which can only be entered by invitation, and the other four floors are all open. Open to the outside world."
"The first floor is the public lobby, and the price of dining here is also the cheapest."
"The second is the second floor, where there are private rooms."
"There is a public bath on the third floor, and the environment on the third floor is like spring all the year round. The cold winter months are like warm spring. The hot summer is like cool autumn."
"The same is true on the fourth floor, but each private room has an independent bath, and when dining, there are beauties to accompany, singing and dancing..."
"and many more!"
Before the waiter could finish his sentence, a person couldn't help but interrupted: "Little brother, isn't it a little too much for you to brag about? Even if you put charcoal in the room in the cold winter and ice mirrors in the hot summer, you dare not say the temperature." May the seasons be like spring!"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the waiter in the shop gave a mysterious smile, and said: "The guest officers have misunderstood, the way to maintain the temperature of this restaurant in winter is not to rely on charcoal. If you are interested, you can go to the third floor to find out. These are the price tags on each floor of our shop."
As he said that, the shop waiter had already led several people to a wall, and on the wall, there were impressively written the prices of each building of Baichuan Restaurant.
There is nothing on the first and second floors of Baichuan Restaurant.
Meals are only charged for meals on the first floor, while private rooms on the second floor cost an extra ten dollars.
Prices for meals on both floors are pretty normal.
However, after ascending to the third floor, the prices of the few people soared, and the basic price of going up to the building alone started with a gold coin.
On the fourth floor, it was even more outrageous. The first step up the stairs was five gold coins.
Even the few young people in front of them couldn't help being shocked at such a price.
"Are you kidding? The starting price of building on the third floor is one gold coin. Are you running a black shop?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
"The guest officer was joking. These prices in this store are clearly marked on the outside. If you don't want to go to the third and fourth floors, you only need to eat on the first and second floors. As for the third and fourth floors, the small ones can guarantee that if you have been there once , will definitely feel value for money.”
This time, not many people responded to the waiter.
Although these people have quite a lot of assets in their families, it will obviously hurt many people to spend a gold coin just for a meal.
But at this moment, a person's eyes suddenly glanced at the wall next to him, and he was taken aback for a moment.
next second.
He wiped his eyes, as if wondering if he saw something wrong.
After a while, he pointed to the wall and asked, "Then... what is that?"
The shop waiter glanced back, and said casually: "Over there is the menu of our restaurant. If you want to order, you can look at the menu over there, and just talk to the little one directly."
When everyone heard the words, they also turned their heads to look at the wall behind them.
Followed by.
Everyone else was also stunned.
Because on the wall behind everyone, there are hundreds of wooden boards hanging on it, and on each board, the name of a dish is written.
Among them, almost [-]% of the dishes are dishes that no one has ever heard of...
Stir-fried mutton with scallions, fried eggplant with sauce, pork ribs and winter melon soup, garlic cucumber, white-cut chicken, sweet and sour carp...
Everyone was dazzled by the dishes. After all, in the current era where meals are mainly steamed, boiled, and roasted, even these noble children who claim to eat all kinds of food in the world can eat a few kinds of food.
"This...the name of the dish on it, why have I traveled all over the world, but I have never even heard of it?"
The waiter smiled and said, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because these are exotic vegetables, such as eggplants and cucumbers, which originally came from wild places outside the Western Regions."
"Except for the cultivation in Hanzhong in the Central Plains, it is absolutely impossible to see these exotic vegetables in other regions."
"Hanzhong? Why is it only planted in Hanzhong?"
Someone noticed the key point revealed in the shop boy's words, and hurriedly asked.
The waiter replied: "Because these vegetables are the seeds obtained by Lord Shengping from people from other places, and then cultivated carefully. As Hanzhong is the fiefdom of Lord Shengping, these exotic vegetables will naturally be planted there."
Hearing Xiao Er's explanation, everyone suddenly realized.
Come to think of it.
At present, apart from Lord Shengping, there seems to be no one else in the entire Qin Kingdom who has such an ability.
"So, do you buy all the vegetables in your restaurant from Hanzhong?"
"good."
The shop waiter answered very simply.
Instead, many people were taken aback for a moment. After all, according to common sense, shouldn't such news be the restaurant's commercial secrets?
Or······
Suddenly, some people seemed to think of something, and suddenly their pupils shrank.
But at this moment, the waiter in the shop said again: "Now the situation of our shop has been introduced, do you guys need to eat?"
Hearing these words, everyone came back to their senses and spoke one after another.
"Of course, give me ten dishes first. You can choose any type of dish, but it must be cooked with exotic vegetables."
"Me too, I want to taste the difference between these exotic vegetables and my Central Plains."
"I am the same as them, but let me open a private room on the third floor first. I would like to see what is so special about the third floor here."
······
The descendants of real high-ranking officials and noble families rarely produce waste.
So when these people first heard about 'exotic vegetables', they smelled business opportunities, but they didn't act rashly.
After all, no matter how strange and rare vegetables are, the most important thing is the taste.
"Okay! Guest officers, please wait a moment."
The shop waiter wrote down everyone's requests one by one, and then walked into the back kitchen yelling.
About two quarters of an hour later.
The dishes that were still exuding heat and aroma were delivered to everyone by the waiter of the restaurant...
