Chapter 1434: The Lethality of Food
This kind of ancient music accompaniment, the rule of burning incense to enter the table has not been seen for many years.
Of course, not to mention the guests outside, even Ding Fan has never seen it with his own eyes, but he has heard his grandfather say it once before, and it seems to be a kind of etiquette that can only be found at a very high standard banquet.
It's just that now this etiquette has been completely forgotten, and it is good to be restored to this appearance by Lafayette, but there are not many people who usually want to use it.
It's rare to use it last time, and now it's all ruined by Xiaoyin's way of holding the food box and eating while walking.
Fortunately, Ding Fan didn't care about these things, he just ate something, he couldn't make such a big scene, he didn't even think about eating here before, he just thought that he had just arrived at the shore today, and it was appropriate to come over and say hello to Lafayette, who would have thought that Lafayette had prepared so many things for him.
The three of them followed the waiter all the way to a flower hall upstairs, and as soon as the door opened, the two young people who had come to China for the first time were shocked.
At this moment, they really know what it means to carve a fence and build jade, compared with here, the so-called mansions where those powerful people live abroad are simply like pig's nests, and they can't be on the table at all.
In particular, the huge table in the flower hall is completely carved from a huge piece of Tianhuang stone, and the carvings in the corners are lifelike, as if they are alive.
Of course, Domon and Xiaoyin didn't know what kind of stone it was, but they just felt that it looked like jade, and they stretched out their hands to touch it, and it felt very slippery, and the tentacles were warm, even if they didn't understand it, they knew that this thing was worth a lot.
What followed was even more shocking.
As soon as the three of them sat down, the door of the flower hall was pushed open, and a gorgeously dressed middle-aged woman walked in from the outside, with a series of little girls behind her, each holding a wooden dinner plate in her hand.
As the plates were placed on the table, the fragrance in the plate finally came out little by little, even if there was a lid on the plate, it still could not completely isolate the fragrance.
Xiaoyin, who had been holding the cake and eating the candied fruit for a long time, was immediately attracted by the dishes on the table again, and the food box in her hand was no longer her favorite, and her saliva was about to flow down at this time.
These women didn't say a word when they entered the door, just brought up the dishes prepared in their hands, and then left without stopping, leaving only the middle-aged woman before, uncovering the lid of the dishes on the table, nodding to Ding Fan, reaching out to the three of them to make a gesture of please, and then turned around and left.
Xiao Yin, who was already impatient, stopped in a daze after seeing these exquisite dishes, tried to swallow the saliva that kept flowing out of his mouth, glanced at Ding Fan who was sitting on the side with difficulty, turned to Domon again, and asked with a wry smile: "Boss, did your ancient emperors eat like this, will it be too much, how much does this table cost?"
In fact, it wasn't just Xiaoyin who was curious about this, but even Duomeng had a lot of questions in his heart, sitting on the side and looking at Ding Fan, waiting for him to speak.
It's just this, Ding Fan didn't know, when he came before, Jinlou didn't have this diet item, at that time, he just drank a little tea in the flower hall and ate a little refreshment, and I heard that the cost was already a small 100,000.
Now this big table, plus the previous ancient music and incense, I am afraid that this table will not be less than 1.8 million.
Of course, Lafayette makes a move, I'm afraid she can't look down on the small money of more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, and there is no profit of 1.8 million yuan, I'm afraid she won't be too lazy to think about it.
"Actually, I don't know, don't care how much it is, you can eat with confidence!" Ding Fan didn't say much, he picked up the chopsticks first, reached out and picked up a piece of flower drum duck palm in the plate, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and said: "Eat with confidence, I can still afford a meal of 1.8 million yuan, and I won't bet you here!"
Ding Fan is just a joke, but in the ears of Xiaoyin and Duomeng, it is a completely different matter.
The two of them were suddenly frightened by this number and opened their mouths, looked at the dishes on the table, and looked at the small lunch box that they were holding in Xiao Yin's arms before, they couldn't imagine that the things here were so expensive.
"For the first time, Boss, I felt as if I was a poor man. ”
"Then I'm not poorer!"
These two people were both members of the mercenary group back then, and although they didn't do it for too many years behind Ding Fan, they still made a lot of money.
In addition, these two people are not people who spend money indiscriminately, and they have saved a lot of money in their hands over the past few years.
But today, the two found that their pitiful net worth didn't seem to be enough to have a few meals here.
Now that I think about it, I don't know if those people who were rumored to be very poor and even backward in China were blind in the past.
However, I have to say that these dishes on the table are really worth the price, at least the taste is not deceiving.
Ding Fan can also see that the food on the table is absolutely genuine, even if he has not eaten it, he can see to some extent that the food on the table, from raw materials to processing technology, is absolutely exquisite.
Listening to Ding Fan's meaning, these dishes are all court dishes in the palace, and if you can eat them here, this price is really not a loss.
But this meal is a bit painful, and every time the two of them take a bite, they feel as if they are not eating vegetables, but eating their own meat.
Ding Fan looked at the two of them crying and mourning, almost laughed, put down his chopsticks and whispered to the two: "You don't have to be like this, I've already said it, I'll treat you to this meal, you can eat it with confidence, this taste is definitely an authentic old craft, even in Yanjing City, you may not be able to find such a chef, you have eaten it today, and you may not have a chance to eat it next time!"
Xiaoyin chewed the meat in her mouth that she didn't know what it was, it was delicious, but at this moment she wanted to cry a little, pouting and saying, "I'm so scared that I can't eat it, it seems that my mouth is full of money!"
Ding Fan smiled and stretched out his hand to gently tap on her head, picked up a piece of tofu on the table and put it in front of her and said, "Don't cry and mourn your face, after waiting for a while, the dish will be cold, and then this dish will not be edible." We have an old saying in Huaxia, which says that you don't feel distressed when you eat, and you don't feel distressed when you waste it. ”
In an easy-to-understand sentence, Xiaoyin naturally understands that if the millions of meals on the table are really wasted, it will be almost like burning money.
After hearing this, Xiao Yin and Domon didn't say much, lowered their heads and started large bones on the food on the table.
However, these two people still think about this meal too simply, there is not much soup for this family feast, but there are a lot of meat dishes and Manchu dumplings, this thing is generally eaten, it will not feel too much, but once you drink a little soup, it will be completely different, and it will soon rise in the stomach.
Ding Fan just ate a few bites, but these two people ate very hard, but the dragon beard noodles and red bean porridge in the back only ate two bites, and these two people almost squirted out the contents of their stomachs.
Xiaoyin's belly was completely propped up at this time, and the cheongsam on her body was very tight, and her little belly was already bulging high at this time, so she could only undo the buttons on the side of her big * leg with difficulty, so that she could barely catch her breath.
Of course, Domeng is not much better, although it is not as obvious as Xiaoyin at this time, but Ding Fan can still see that he is already secretly loosening his belt at this time.
The first time these two people ate traditional Chinese food, they ate it like this, which is really a bit funny.
It seems that the sentence I just said would rather eat than waste is really used in the right place.
Fortunately, the food on the table had almost been swept away by the three of them, and the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But I never expected that before this breath was released, there was a knock on the door outside, and then the woman from before appeared again, glanced at the plate on the table, and glanced at the three people at the table in surprise for a while.
After all, there are a lot of these dishes, let alone three people eating it, even ten people eating this table may not be able to eat all the things on the table.
Unexpectedly, these three guests actually ate the food on the table in one go.
But after professional training, she naturally didn't say anything, just clapped her hands twice, called the waiter outside, cleaned up the plates that had been eaten, and then served a carved Arowana boat made of lacquerware, with fresh fruits on it, and three cups of fine Xinyang hair tips.
To tell the truth, when this big plate was served, Xiaoyin and Domon almost cried.
I've never eaten so many things, although they are all good things, even top-notch ingredients, but if you eat too many things, I'm afraid for anyone is almost like torture.
Fortunately, all that was served at the end was a plate of fruit and three cups of tea, if it was something else, I'm afraid these two people would not be in the mood to eat.
Let's just say that now, these two people want to die, and their stomachs are too uncomfortable.
Ding Fan looked at the two of them like big-bellied toads, and couldn't help laughing, knowing that he wouldn't say that sentence just now.
Originally, I just wanted to let them eat something with peace of mind, but I really didn't expect that they would eat without any soup left.
It's all at this moment, I'm afraid that no one can eat the fruit on the table, but the tea on the table is more attractive, the two of them smelled the fragrance in the tea cup, couldn't help but swallow a little saliva, and picked it up with difficulty, and they were not afraid of being hot and poured it directly into their mouths.
Ding Fan watched the movements of the two and hurriedly wanted to remind, but it was too late at this time.
The two of them took a big sip and drained most of the cups of tea.
These two people have already eaten a lot of things just now, and this Manchurian Bobo is also in his stomach, and if he drinks some water, he will swell up in an instant, and this will happen.
Ding Fan hurriedly stood up, wanting to stop the movements of these two people, but it was too late.
At this moment, the door outside was pushed open, and an old man walked in slowly from the outside with a delicate dragon head cane in his hand, and a string of dark red Buddha beads hanging on the other hand.
As soon as the old man entered the door, his eyes looked at Ding Fan first, and the kindness and kindness in his eyes were not concealed at all.
But then after looking at Xiaoyin and Domeng to the side, the old lady couldn't hold back for a while, and actually laughed directly.
"I've seen a lot of people who have lived enough, it's easier to wipe the neck with a knife, or just take some poison to eat! Like yours, my old lady has lived so old, I really can't see it, this is trying to survive?" The old lady walked in with a smile, Ding Fan quickly stood up and dragged the old lady's arm, and slowly sat down in the position he had just placed.
The old lady said slowly: "This food is to die, but it is the most wasteful way to die, the eldest girl does not look like a girl, what kind of cheongsam is you wearing, I should have given you a sack piece if I knew it, and I just made a hole in it." ”
