Chapter 310: Chaoge Academy
Asaka-in.
When he saw the words on the plaque hanging on the door, Fang Ming raised his head and stared at it slightly for a second or two before retracting his gaze.
"Fang Ming, do you know what this private dish is best at?"
When Tang Yan walked to the door, he suddenly looked back at Fang Ming, obviously studying Fang Ming.
"If I'm not mistaken, I guess it's a vegetarian diet. ”
Hearing Fang Ming's answer, Tang Yan had a look of surprise on her face, "Have you been here before?" ”
"No, this is my first time here, and it's my first time in the capital. Fang Ming shook his head and replied.
"Then how did you know that this private dish is good at vegetarian meals?" Tang Yan looked puzzled, she only knew it when she heard Chen Ze's introduction in the car before.
"It's very simple, isn't the name of this courtyard already explained?" Fang Ming pointed to the plaque, which made Tang Yan even more puzzled, Chaoge Courtyard, what can this name mean?
"Fifty miles of the night strings of the song, eight hundred princes towards the Ling Mountain. ”
Ye Ziyu on the side suddenly whispered, "The name of this courtyard should be taken from this poem, although this poem is about the heyday of the fruit capital of the Shang Dynasty. ”
"The Lingshan in this poem should be a certain mountain near Chaoge, but if the name of this courtyard comes from this poem, it is obvious that there are some bull's heads that are not in the horse's mouth, how can a restaurant and a capital be connected, the only possibility is that the store borrowed the literal meaning of the poem, comparing the visitors to eight hundred princes, and this Lingshan is naturally a famous Buddhist holy place. ”
"When the visitors enter the courtyard, it is like going to Lingshan, and as pilgrims, they naturally eat fasting food. Ye Ziyu showed a light smile on his face, "Brother Fang Ming, am I right?"
"That's right. ”
Fang Ming nodded, this store really just borrowed the literal meaning of this poem by taking such a store name.
"Hey, you two don't show off your literary talent here, there is more to the poems related to the song than this, such as that: The phoenix song hates each other, and the green water and Qingping reflect the king's heart, isn't there also the word song of the dynasty?"
As a student of Shuimu University, Tang Yan's ancient literary skills are not low.
"The reason is simple, because I also smell the smell of Zen incense. ”
Fang Ming smiled slightly, when he was at the door of this store, he asked about Zen incense, generally speaking, places like restaurants will not put Zen incense at the door, because Zen incense has an impact on people's appetite, and under normal circumstances, restaurants also put Zen incense in the bathroom to taste and kill mosquitoes.
In a restaurant, he smelled the smell of Zen incense before he entered the door, and then combined with the name of the restaurant, Fang Ming came to such a judgment.
"Okay, you're amazing. ”
Tang Yan pursed her lips, the reason why she raised this question was just to make things difficult for Fang Ming, so as to retaliate against Fang Ming for telling her private matter, and now if she didn't succeed in making it difficult, she could only give up.
There are several courtyards in the entire court courtyard, and Fang Ming and the others walked into the third courtyard, which is full of flowers and plants, and in the middle of the courtyard is a Maitreya Buddha.
"This hotel is also unique, other hotels are either a beckoning cat, or a god of wealth, but this hotel is a Buddha. Zhang Shuqi was also curious when she saw the Maitreya Buddha at this moment.
"Isn't it said that Buddha statues can't be placed around? Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the Buddha. ”
Ye Ziyu looked at Fang Ming with doubts, her pretty face was puzzled, because of Fang Ming, she had read a lot of books on Taoism and Buddhism over the years, so she knew some taboos.
"The general Buddha statue can not be placed, but Maitreya Buddha is different, in Buddhism, Maitreya Buddha is the most special Buddha, in Mahayana Buddhism, he is the future Buddha, that is, the future inheritance of the position of Sakyamuni Buddha, and in our country, most of the sculptures of Maitreya Buddha are based on the cloth bag monk, and the big belly can accommodate all things in the world. ”
It is precisely because of this inclusiveness of Maitreya Buddha that Maitreya Buddha can be placed there, and the smiling face will always make people feel comfortable. ”
Hearing Fang Ming's explanation, Ye Ziyu's pretty face showed a look of enlightenment, and her head nodded slightly.
"This little brother has a lot of research on Buddhism. ”
Just as Fang Ming and Ye Ziyu were explaining, a voice suddenly came from the side, Fang Ming and Ye Ziyu turned around and saw an old man walking towards them.
"I introduce myself, my name is Zeng Guangnan, I am the owner of this restaurant, and I welcome a few friends to our restaurant for dinner. ”
Zeng Guangnan smiled, and Fang Ming and Ye Ziyu also reported their names.
"I also heard the discussion between the two little friends at the door of the store before, and I can see the meaning of my store name at a glance, and the two little friends are still the first, so this time no matter how much the two little friends spend in my store, they will be discounted by 7%. ”
"Then thank you boss. ”
Fang Ming was not polite, since the boss of the family said so, it would be a bit hypocritical for him to refuse again, and the seven-fold discount would not make the boss lose money, and the price of this kind of private dish was generally several times the cost.
This is especially true of the more upscale hotels, because it is not only the dishes that are eaten, but also the service and the environment.
Zeng Guangnan left after saying hello, Fang Ming and Ye Ziyu also entered a box next to them, and Chen Ze was already sitting in that box.
"We ordered four dishes, and you can see what else you have to eat. ”
Chen Ze saw Fang Ming come in and directly handed over the menu, although Chen Ze was a little immodest on weekdays, but I have to say that the details were handled very well.
Fang Ming and they are a total of six people, and under normal circumstances, four dishes are definitely not enough, so Chen Ze handed the menu to Fang Ming at this time, no matter what, Fang Ming and they will order one or two dishes, and there will be no psychological burden.
This is different from some people, some people invite guests in order to show their magnanimity, a person first orders a table of dishes, and then asks a friend what dish to order, even if the friend really wants to eat, but generally at this time will only come to the sentence "There are enough dishes, no need to order more." ”
Fang Ming and Ye Ziyu each ordered a dish, and finally Chen Ze added two more dishes, which was to arrange for the waiter to place an order.
"It's really not me bragging, the vegetarian dishes of this private dish are a must, and ordinary people may not have the opportunity to eat it, because the owner of this shop is very characterful, and he is only open for one week a month. ”
"It's open for a week a month, so how can he make money, the rent of this courtyard should be very expensive. Tang Yan looked curious, isn't opening a restaurant to do business just to make money?
"This courtyard should be the boss's own, so there is no such thing as rent, and I guess the boss should have another business, and the opening of this hotel is more out of interest. ”
Fang Ming mentioned it on the side, there were some things he didn't say, when he saw the boss's face before, he had already seen something.
"That's probably the reason, I have a lot of friends who run cafes and bars, and they are very willful, opening them when they want to, and closing them when they don't want to. ”
Chen Ze smiled, his friends are all rich second generation, and they open cafes and bars just to pick up girls, and they don't expect to make money from this at all.
……
Just as Fang Ming and the others were chatting here and waiting for the food to be served, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open, and Zeng Guangnan appeared at the door.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry, there is a sudden rush in the store, so I may not be able to entertain you, the next time you come over, our store is free to entertain. ”
Zeng Guangnan looked apologetic, however, Chen Ze's face still became a little ugly, this meal was suddenly kicked out by the shopkeeper before it was eaten, and no one would be in a good mood.
"Boss, do you think we're the ones who pay for a meal?"
In the face of Chen Ze's rhetorical question, Zeng Guangnan was also helpless, he knew that he was coming, so he wouldn't open the door today.
"Forget it, since the boss has said so, there must be some reason, let's change it, anyway, it's still early. ”
Zhang Shuqi on the side played a round game, and Zhang Shuqi said so, Chen Ze couldn't refuse to be mad, but he was still dissatisfied, and finally walked towards the door of the box.
"Xiaoyou, I'm really sorry. ”
When Fang Ming walked out of the box, Zeng Guangnan still said apologetically.
"The boss is serious, and some unexpected things are understandable. ”
Fang Ming waved his hand, and when they walked out of the box and walked towards the lobby, a deep voice suddenly came from the lobby.
"Xiao Zeng, what's the matter, how did I see so many cars leaving outside you, is it because of my arrival, your store is not open again, if this is the case, I will not come in the future, old man. ”
When the voice came, Zeng Guangnan's face changed, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he whispered to Fang Ming, "Little friend, I hope you can cooperate for a while." ”
After saying this, Zeng Guangnan walked quickly towards the lobby, and when Fang Ming and the others came to the lobby, they saw an old man with white hair standing in the center of the lobby.
"Chief, there is nothing to do, they are all some of my relatives, but they just happened to leave now. Zeng Guangnan hurriedly explained.
"What chief, I'm just a retired old man now. The old man glared at Zeng Guangnan, then his gaze fell on Fang Ming and the others, and then he snorted dissatisfiedly.
"I said Xiao Zeng, do you think I'm old, I'm dizzy, these are your juniors, then you fucking tell Lao Tzu what their names are. ”
