Compared with the opening of the large wine tank, the opening of Zhou's private room was surprisingly low-key, no firecrackers and no lion dance, and naturally did not attract a tide of congratulatory guests.

If the opening of a small restaurant like a big wine vat needs to be lively, and the restaurant of private cuisine needs this kind of low-key outfit, and the phone number for the reservation table is about to be called a hotline, does this still need to be vigorously promoted? The more publicity, the more it falls!

That is, the five brothers of Lao Xionggou are doing business face-to-face, and the recent relationship with Zhou Dong is even more honey and oil, so they brought gifts to visit, Xiong Fuji is also generous, the top matsutake mushroom, the wild bee syrup of the 'lost bear' in the black forest of the three northern provinces, these things make Huailiang people greedy, and therefore their perception of the five brothers has changed greatly, and they have begun to call them brothers.

The five brothers hurriedly congratulated and left, today is a good day for the opening of Zhou's private room, according to the rules of the congratulatory must leave immediately, this is called avoiding suspicion.

On the contrary, the big wine vat is lively at this time, the old guests have arrived, and the four old men who often come have also come to two pairs.

It is said that with the identity of the four old men and the relationship with Zhou Dong, the first table of this opening should be theirs, most of the time Zhou Dong still has to treat guests without charging money, but the four of them insisted on pushing Zhou Dong's kindness, saying that if they want to eat your boy's craftsmanship at any time, why take the first table of your opening? Make your money well, if you can't make up for the deficit of the big wine tank, won't our brothers have a place to drink and chat?

In fact, the old four either have a position, or they have the responsibility of a family of grandmasters, and they often have to go to various places to participate in an event, bring a newcomer or something, and the time that they can really gather in the big wine tank in a month is just a few days, so they are like taking Zhou Dong as their own son and nephew, and they are unwilling to delay his business.

Besides, the four elder brothers have also heard about it, Zhou Dong's tone is not small, saying that he wants to refine the eight major cuisines? Even with their understanding of Zhou Dong, they think that Zhou Dong needs time to sharpen before he can make the top dishes, instead of becoming Zhou Dong's experimental white mouse, how can he wait patiently? These old four are thieves......

"Everyone, Master Xiao Zhou's private dish is precious, I heard that the first table of wine and dishes tomorrow will be sold at a sky-high price, a full 180,000 yuan,

This is still Shanglu cuisine, there are no palace and Confucian dishes that require top ingredients, and the price is not the highest, if this is in the future, it will not be sold for hundreds of thousands?"

"I don't know it, do I?

Although I haven't eaten it, I've heard that the top private dishes in Kyoto's magic capital sell millions of wine and dishes on a table, and you don't want to think about what kind of ingredients are used in people's tables?

Master Xiao Zhou also pushed the price down to 180,000 because of the Lu cuisine that left first, and he didn't go to the palace and Confucian cuisine, I guess this is also to ask for good luck, otherwise what is a table of hundreds of thousands?"

"No, our old guests have been following Master Xiao Zhou since the early days, could it be said that we will be abandoned when we open a private room?"

"Oh, you still have no conscience!

Master Xiao Zhou has announced to the public, the wine used in the private hall is also the same as the three bowls, in the private hall, the price of a pound is 5,000 yuan!

This is a five-star hotel, don't look at the hot business, all kinds of labor expenses are calculated, it is good not to lose!

Master Xiao Zhou doesn't make a lot of money, why do you want to open this big wine vat, it's not for feelings?

You really have to make inches! It is you who represent the inferior nature of human beings and take advantage of it, right?"

Hearing this, many people nodded again and again, and the four old men also laughed, knowing that the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, Xiao Zhou has done it like this, there are still people who are not greedy enough, fortunately, I understand that there are still many people, and this one was scolded just now!

Long Dashen was even more stunned: "That's a good point! Just now, this brother, you don't understand it the first time, and everyone doesn't blame you, if you still talk like this in the future, you don't have to wait for Master Xiao Zhou to speak, what should we do?"

Everyone said in unison: "Then what else can I do, just drive it out!"

"Yes, this brother, don't blame me for my ugly words, there are cheap drinks and dishes in the big wine vat to welcome you to come, and you want to eat in a private room? Yes, then you have to bring enough money, Master Xiao Zhou is worthy of us!"

The man's face flushed: "Hey, President Long, look at what you said, can't I be wrong......? By the way, President, I heard that you also made an appointment for Chef Xiao Zhou's private dishes?

When it came to this, the dragon god was quite proud, shook his head and smiled: "Oh, it's really expensive." Master Xiao Zhou saw that I was a regular customer, so he gave me a 20% discount, which will cost 168,888, no way, isn't there a few author friends from afar, I can't lose face!"

"Envy, this time President Long can drink 5,001 catties of generals and three bowls in the private hall, it's amazing!"

"Brother, can we talk about something else?"

When the dragon god heard this, his face darkened, don't you want to open a pot and mention which pot? Thinking about the cheap wine in this big wine vat, he felt distressed, so he just changed places, but the price has increased nearly a hundred times! But people's private rooms have the rules of private rooms, and no one has forced you to consume with guns, right?

Don't say that the wine in the big wine jar is never bought, even if Master Xiao Zhou is willing to sell it to him for face, it is also very shameful to bring wine in, and this face dragon god still wants it.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about something else.

President Long, you are so familiar with Master Xiao Zhou, and you are the president of the 'Food Aid Association', so you must be well-informed, right? Do you know who is the one who has won the first prize in the private hall? Is it our Chudu people?"

The common problem of Chinese people, at this time, they will attach great importance to the region, Zhou Dong's private room is opened in Chudu, even these old guests can't afford to eat, and they also hope to come out on top in Chudu.

Dong Qishen and the other four old men also pricked up their ears, very interested in this leader,

They were summoned to the Chinese Cooking and Food Association in Kyoto during this time, and they were also making some preparations for the special national banquet in the near future, and they had just rushed back to Chudu today, and they really didn't know who was so lucky to be the first guest of Zhou's private room.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, the first guest of the private room is neither our Chudu nor an ordinary consumer, according to the gossip I got, this person's surname is Yuan, and he is also a well-known figure in Qinxing, he also opens a private restaurant in Kyoto, named 'Suiyuan'!"

"Suiyuan, still surnamed Yuan? Isn't that the descendant of Yuan Cangshan! Good guy, this is a big deal, Dragon God, shouldn't this be a peer who came to smash the field?"

Have you ever heard of a colleague from Kyoto who came to smash Chudu's field? Not only did they not smash the field, but they were also said to be friends of Master Xiao Zhou, and they also came to congratulate them when the big wine vat opened that day. ”

"Oh, that's it, we don't have to worry about Master Xiao Zhou. ”

Yuan Cangshan Yuan Mei is famous among foodies, I heard that it was his descendants who came to the private room, everyone was really worried about Zhou Dong, and when I heard Long Dashen say that the two were friends, many people showed a relieved expression.

The four old men glanced at each other, with deep sadness in their eyes.

They naturally knew more than these ordinary diners, and knew the details of Zhou Dong's trip to Kyoto.

Although Zhou Dong is considered to be a 'friend with vegetables', but the result is that Yuan Zidan lost, and it is true that the two did not fight and did not know each other and became friends, but who can say that friends can't compete with each other and find face?

Yuan Zidan's choice of this node is too good, Zhou Dong first served Lu cuisine, but what he really did was a fried double crispy, and the rest of the dishes could be done, even the four of them couldn't say, Lu cuisine is the most effort-intensive among the eight major cuisines, and the test is the chef's comprehensive strength and real skills!

Just thinking about it, Yi Zhiyu's mobile phone rang, picked it up and looked at the number, and suddenly laughed: "It seems that we didn't guess wrong, it was Yuan Zidan calling." ”

After answering the phone and saying a few words, he hung up the phone with a wry smile: "He already knows that the four of us are in Chudu, and said that he will invite the four of us to have dinner in Zhou Dong's private room tomorrow."

I'm half-acquainted with him, but they're all people in the Kyoto circle, and they're all people in Huaxia Qinxing, so it's not good not to go when you get an invitation, what do you three think?"

Dong Qishen smiled and said, "It's just to find a few of us to be a witness...... He is also friends with Zhou Dong now, but he will not smash the field, but if something is wrong with him, it is estimated that he will say it directly on the face, which can be regarded as a friend's 'reminder'.

Hehe, these literati just have a lot of flowers, so if you want to save face, you have to go around in a big circle......

Go ahead, anyway, I have confidence in Zhou Dong, and I also want to try his Lu cuisine. ”

Not long after Yi Zhiyu put down his mobile phone, Long Dashen's mobile phone rang: "Hey, who is it?" Yuan ...... Mr. Yuan Zidan, why do you have my phone number?

Oh, yes, yes, my phone number was announced in the alliance leader group, you are my silver alliance leader 'can't eat without bamboo', especially love to read my food article? Oh, this is such an honor!

What, do you want to invite me to Zhou's private room for dinner tomorrow?

***

After the opening of the private room, the structure of the seventeenth floor has changed slightly, now after bypassing the shadow wall wall piled up by the rockery, there are moon doors leading to the large wine vat on both sides, and the front is the private room of the Zhou family, before this section of the road was closed, temporarily covered with a false background, and now the fake background is removed, it is two vermilion wooden doors densely covered with copper nails, there are swallowing beasts on the door, and there are a pair of two-foot-high stone lions on both sides of the door.

The plaque hanging above the wooden door is written with gilded characters - 'food is endless', and on both sides is a pair of pairs, the upper link is sweet and sour, bitter and salty, all the taste of the world, and the lower link is steaming, cooking, frying and frying, all of which are diligent means.

"Hehe, what a pair, but I don't know whose handwriting it came from?"

Not long after the four old men and Long Dashen walked to the door of the private room, they saw a man in a green shirt behind the shadow wall, and arched their hands at the four old men and Long Dashen, and praised this pair: "That's right, that's good, it's wonderful, isn't this world's thing just a thing to eat in the end, it's all about the world, it's all about the world, and it's all about the kitchen......

Looking at Huaxia Qinxing, who is so sour besides Yuan Zidan?

Yi Zhiyu and Yuan Zidan are both in the diligent circle of Kyoto, and people are not close to the water, so they are the first to talk: "Hehe, old Yuan, don't pour sour water, right? Today we are here to attend the banquet, not to have a 'joint meeting' or 'poetry meeting' or something." ”

Although Yuan Zidan is younger than the four of them, he is superior in terms of seniority, and he is diligent in his first generation before his age, so Yi Zhiyu still has to call him 'Old Yuan'.

"Haha, Yi Lao's words are wrong, since ancient times, literature and food, poetry and wine, are all inseparable from Jiao Meng, this literary rhyme and food are even more related to each other, but it can't be said that there is no relationship.

Hey, Chef Zhou's craftsmanship naturally didn't say, but it was missing some of the elegance of 'poetry, wine, singing, and harmony', otherwise it must be Yuan's bosom friend......"

The four old men shook their heads secretly when they heard this, and said in their hearts that apart from your Yuan family, who else would engage in these poems and essays, if you compare these things, it must be the first in diligence, and Zhou Dong can't win against you.

"Mr. Yuan is reasonable, if there is no poetry in this meal and drink, it is indeed a lot inferior. ”

The dragon god smiled kindly at Yuan Zidan: "I haven't thanked you for supporting my book so much." "Now how he looks at Yuan Zidan is pleasing to the eye, how can this person look so eye-catching, how can he speak so well? This feeling is so strange, like meeting an old friend for many years.

"Hehe, Mr. Long is polite, it is also your book that is well written, has a unique opinion on food, and there are many interesting things about diligence, I love to read it very much. ”

"You're welcome, I'll keep trying. ”

Dong Qishen laughed: "Okay, okay, President Long, Mr. Yuan, let's go in quickly, by the way, Mr. Yuan should know that Zhou Dong is only responsible for one main dish every day, but I don't know which one you ordered?"

Yuan Zidan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No." Chef Zhou's rules are big, and what he does depends on his mind, and I still don't know what kind of food I can eat today, but it's interesting. ”

Yi Zhiyu laughed when he heard this: "You have to say it's funny, isn't your Suiyuan the same?"

A few people laughed, and under the guidance of the two beautiful women, they strolled into the private hall.

It is said that it is a hall, it is better to say that it is a unique space on the seventeenth floor of Kyushu Dingshi, after entering the vermilion wooden door, it is a series of two into the moon door and the vase door, there are spring flowers and summer lotus in the front door, the small pond water corridor, there is autumn chrysanthemum and plum in the back door, the pavilion is sparse, no matter which season you come, anyway, there is always a fragrance of flowers to welcome people, it is now winter, but it is evening chrysanthemum and red plum in full bloom, especially the piece of red plum is like the morning glow, which makes people's hearts shine a lot.

This kind of scenery makes everyone praise again and again, no wonder the wine outside for five yuan and a dime will be doubled a hundred times here, such an environment itself is valuable, and those rich people who come to the private room to drink really can't be called wronged.

It is said that only one table of wine and food is sold every day, but there are still four private rooms built in the courtyard before and after, which are named "Yiya", "Yiyin", "Ku Ding" and "Taihe", but they are named after the four diligent ancestors, everyone laughs and praises, but Dong Qishen is slightly frowned, even if he uses the other three, this Yi Ya is a traitorous villain who does not hesitate to cook in order to please the monarch, he really shouldn't use his name to name the private room, it is estimated that people who know this history will not like this private room.

But I think this shouldn't be the little junior brother's idea, so I still have an opportunity to remind him that this name can be changed or not.

Under the leadership of the welcome beauty, everyone entered the Taihe Hall, only to see that the hall was very spacious, with more than 30 square meters, carved mahogany tables and chairs of a water, and the incense of the crane copper furnace.

"Mr. is right, this is still the special incense made by the famous incense master 'Hujue Jushi' in Guangdu, and it may not be bought if you have money, it is a ...... that our Gu Zong specially gave to Chef Zhou to celebrate his opening."

"Oh, is it?" Yuan Zidan smiled slightly, he can't be inferior to Naizu by nature, after listening to this passage, his head is naturally full of wind and snow, Brother Zhou seems to be a good fortune, he has seen this female president, and he is a nine-point talent!

smiled and said, "Chef Zhou, has today's recipe been decided?"

The same is true in his garden, where guests can only see the recipe when they arrive, and today he will also taste the taste of waiting for speculation, although it is interesting, but it is also itchy in his heart.

"Chef Zhou is still busy in the back kitchen, in addition to the main dish today, the side dishes are made by Chef Shen Cheng of Lu Chef and several students of Chef Zhou, and he also has to guide the students, so I can't come over later, the recipe has been set, it is on the table, please check it out for yourself. ”

"Oh, or on paper?"

On the table was a slightly pink paper, which looked thicker than ordinary letter paper, but thinner than rice paper, and there were some relief outlines on the back of the paper.

It turned out to be a note that is almost impossible to see in this era! The four old men and the dragon god don't think anything about it, but Yuan Zidan is very happy to see it, it is so much with his spleen, judging from this notepaper, Zhou Dong's private room is exquisite in a small place, and it is very exciting!

Gently picked up this piece of paper and flipped it over to take a look, only to see a line of calligraphy written on it, 'There are a few side dishes, and the main dish is: Roasted sea cucumber with green onions!'

Roasted sea cucumber with green onions?
