The last time he came to Tianmei Building, Wang Xiaochuan still remembered that although it was also very lively and full of people, there had never been a long queue at the gate like today.

You must know that the positioning of Tianmei Building itself is not a low-end restaurant, but a high-end dining place specializing in high-level people, here, even if it is sitting in the lobby on the ground floor, the per capita consumption will definitely not be less than 300.

This may not be a big deal in a big city like the capital Donghai, but in Anxin County, that's basically one-tenth of the monthly income of the working class.

Therefore, in the past, although there were many diners who came to Tianmei Building, it was rare to have today's grand occasion.

Wang Xiaochuan walked to the long line and roughly counted, and there were no less than 50 people photographed here. And this is just the people who lined up, at the entrance of the store, the waiters of Tianmei Building put no less than hundreds of chairs, and the families and friends of those who queued up waited on those chairs.

Wang Xiaochuan was quite curious, so he walked to the edge of the line, found a young man and asked, "Brother, are you waiting in line for dinner?"

The young man turned around and said disdainfully: "Nonsense, who is queuing up here if you don't eat?"

"No, I remember that Tianmeilou wasn't like this before, why do you have to queue up now? Could it be that there are fewer seats for dinner inside?" Wang Xiaochuan said suspiciously.

The man glanced at him and said, "Brother, haven't you been here for a long time?" You said that it was before, and now Tianmei Building, unless you book in advance, otherwise even if you want to go to the top private room, you will have to queue up. ”

"Why is that?"

Now Tianmeilou has become the most famous restaurant in the province, as long as you go to the Internet to check, you will know that their dishes have become popular all over the province. ”

At this time, a young man with glasses who patted in front of the young man seemed to hear the conversation between the two, and also turned around and said, "That's right, I came from the provincial capital with my girlfriend." ”

Seeing that Tianmei Lou had suddenly become so popular, Wang Xiaochuan vaguely guessed that it might be related to the spiritual vegetables he provided to Lin Qianyi.

He looked at the time, saw that it was still early, and thought that the grand occasion in front of him was because of himself, so he couldn't help but feel childlike, and came to the end of the line, and also lined up.

He wanted to see with his own eyes how popular his spiritual dish really was.

When queuing, Wang Xiaochuan also learned some recent changes in Tianmei Lou from the diners queuing around, combined with some things he knew, and roughly understood what happened in Tianmei Lou.

Lin Qianyi had never mentioned these things to him, and now that he knew about it, he realized how important the spiritual vegetable he inadvertently made was to Lin Qianyi.

It turned out that just a month ago, Tianmeilou's business had plummeted.

At that time, because the surrounding material suppliers had terminated their cooperation with Tianmeilou, Tianmeilou suddenly encountered a situation where there was nothing to do.

In time, they can also go to the nearby vegetable market to buy ingredients, but as a high-end restaurant, there are many dishes, and they can't buy the ingredients needed for these dishes from the vegetable market alone.

So in the next few days, diners who came to Tianmei to eat at Tianmei Lou found that many dishes on the menu were labeled as unavailable.

This is nothing for those diners who come here to eat on their own, but it is an embarrassing thing for those who come to Tianmei to entertain guests.

When they asked the guests to order according to the menu, only to hear the answer of "I'm sorry, this dish is not available now", even the guests who supported Tianmeilou in the past couldn't help but be angry.

Not only that, due to the lack of suppliers, the other dishes that Tianmeilou can provide often have poor quality ingredients.

These situations, even if Wang Xiaochuan later asked Mr. Bao and others to help find some suppliers from other places for Lin Qianyi, they still did not completely solve them.

So after coming and going, the reputation of Tianmeilou was completely suffered, and many people who originally admired it were disappointed after eating here.

And those repeat customers, not to mention.

For a time, Tianmeilou's business was not as good as day by day, and the name of the best restaurant in Anxin County was about to cease to exist.

But at this time, the first batch of spiritual vegetables planted by Wang Xiaochuan finally came to market. After that, the situation has changed 180 degrees, and every diner who has tasted the spiritual food in the restaurant will be fascinated by the deliciousness of the spiritual cuisine.

It's just that because Tianmeilou almost lost its reputation some time ago, for a while, its business situation has not completely recovered from its original prosperity.

But then an incident happened that made Tianmeilou a sensation in the whole province all of a sudden.

This incident originated from a food critic in the provincial capital.

The food critic was recently working on a province-wide food review feature on a provincial food review website. On this day, he happened to come to Anxin County to collect wind and came to Tianmei Building.

Because of the delay in the news, the turmoil in Tianmeilou has not yet reached the provincial capital, so in the eyes of this food critic, Tianmeilou is still one of the best restaurants in Anxin County.

As a result, after he finished his meal at Tianmei Building, this impression was overturned. In the food critic's later comments on the Internet, Tianmeilou is no longer one of the best restaurants in Anxin County, but should be one of the best restaurants in the province and even the country.

His comment at the time was this: "Ordinary dishes, but you can taste delicious things that do not belong in the world." ”

This food critic has always been known for his poisonous tongue, but now he rarely gives such a flattering comment, which makes many diners puzzled.

After coming and going, more and more diners came to admire, and the fame of Tianmei Lou was completely restored, even far beyond the past, and in recent times, basically from the time of opening at noon, there will be a long queue of diners at the door of the store.

Unknowingly, Wang Xiaochuan had been queuing for an hour, but in front of him, there were still dozens of people in line, and behind him, a team of no less than 30 people had already appeared.

Just when Wang Xiaochuan was hesitating whether to continue in line, he saw that a few waiters in the store suddenly brought out a numbering machine, and held a loudspeaker, announcing something to the crowd in line.

It turned out that the store finally responded to the queue crowd that appeared one after another, because there were too many people in line, which had affected the traffic in front of the Tianmeilou store, so under the negotiation of the police, the store made a special trip to buy a queue machine that was impossible to use before.

After a while, the long queue disappeared, everyone received their own queue number, and the crowd of people who had to endure the pain of queuing returned to their relatives and friends who were sitting in their chairs to rest.

Wang Xiaochuan came alone, so he had to stand and wait. This time, though, he didn't have to wait long.

Because it wasn't long before he heard the waiter calling his number.

When I went up to ask, I found out that it was because Wang Xiaochuan was alone, and there happened to be a single customer in the first few numbers, so in order to make effective use of the table, the store proposed to let two people share the table together.

Now that the other party has agreed, it depends on whether Wang Xiaochuan is willing or not.

Seeing that the other party was a middle-aged man in his thirties, Wang Xiaochuan naturally did not refuse.

So, the waiter led the two people into the store.

Last time, Wang Xiaochuan went directly into the private room on the upper floor, and it was the first time he came to the lobby on the first floor.

Curious, he also looked around and looked around.

Soon, he noticed something strange.

The environment is a little different from that in many restaurants, but at the moment, the lobby of Tianmei Building seems to be a little too quiet.

After a closer look, I found that this was because the diners in the restaurant, almost without exception, were all eating the food in front of them, and everyone's mouths were stuffed with food, and there was no time to talk, which made the hall much quieter than elsewhere.

Sitting in the seat, the two of them quickly ordered their respective meals, and Wang Xiaochuan ordered one meat, one vegetarian, two dishes and one soup. The one on the other side ordered a lot, and he ordered seven or eight dishes alone.

Strangely, Wang Xiaochuan took the initiative to inquire, only to find out that the eldest brother's surname was Li, and he was the editor of a certain food website, and this time he also came here for the task of the website, and was going to write a review about Tianmei Building.

"No wonder Brother Li, you order so much, the things in Meilou are not cheap this day. Wang Xiaochuan said with a smile.

"But isn't it? I was shocked when I read the menu just now, and I would have been charged 60 for a plate of fried vegetables! If it weren't for eating and drinking at public expense, I wouldn't have come here if I was killed. Mr. Li was speechless.

Wang Xiaochuan smiled, he knew the cost of selling his spiritual vegetables to Tianmeilou, so it was not surprising that this dish would sell so high.

Mr. Li is still complaining, he also made a special trip from the provincial capital today, I thought it was an easy job, but it was just public money to eat and drink, and then go back to write a review, who would have thought that there would be such a long queue here, although now it is finally in line, but after eating, he has to drive back to the provincial capital for more than an hour, as long as he thinks about it, he feels that this special trip to come, it is inevitably a little too worthless.

"Well, I hope the food here is as delicious as the legend says. ”
