Chapter 404: The Restaurant
There are many restaurants in the central water tower area. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But most of them are relatively delicate, and it can be seen that at the beginning, there were many self-employed people who were independent here. When more restaurants are opened, in order to compete, many restaurants begin to develop into specialty restaurants.
Some of them have special drinks, some have more variety of drinks, and some are rich in food such as melon seeds. But there are not many restaurants that focus on food. Most of them are large restaurants.
Because rich people are still used to going to big restaurants at the beginning.
When they go to the small restaurant, they usually dare to go to the night market to buy things, so it is not cost-effective for the small restaurant to get something that can be filled.
The small restaurant even carries out a kind of business, that is, to go downstairs to help you buy food, so that you don't have to go down to crowd people lightly, you can sit in the restaurant with a good view, watch the lights like a dragon, and chat with friends around you. It is said that many people bring their own concubines or friends of the opposite sex to enjoy the scenery under the moon in front of the lamp.
Qian Rujun chose a large restaurant, and there was no such service, and she felt that Li Si probably didn't need such a service. He's not so much here to enjoy the food, but he's here to enjoy the excitement.
When I got to the restaurant, I chose a place and sat down. They choose to sit on the window side, where prices are naturally higher. The restaurant is large, and it is inevitable that some places are not so suitable for seeing the scenery.
The guys in the store came out to order food quickly. Most of the guys in the big restaurants are men. This is to prevent the occurrence of a ban in the central water tower area here. After all, the shop guy has a lot of customers. It is inevitable that some women will not be able to resist the temptation of money, but this will make the restaurant boss miserable. In order to prevent trouble, it is more cost-effective to hire men directly. Most of the work of women is in places where they can't see people. Because there is a special regulation in the central water tower area, the number of employees, men and women, should be balanced, and the proportion of men and women should not be more than 30%.
So they really can't afford not to hire women. In fact, new bosses who have hired women can generally find that women do things like men, and in many ways they are not inferior to men, and they even surpass men. If this kind of trade wasn't strictly banned, they would have to let women be shopkeepers.
"Give him a glass of orange and I want a glass of watermelon juice. Now there are watermelons, right?" asked Qian Rujun.
Before the shopkeeper could respond, Li Si's voice rang out.
"I don't want orange juice, there is so much wine in the restaurant, I want to drink. ”
In his cognition, when he goes to a restaurant, he either drinks wine or drinks tea. Who drinks fruit juice? Although in his heart, he was curious about the taste of fruit juice. He's never seen it like that? What is juice?
"You're still a child, so you're not allowed to drink. After drinking, I can't eat anything delicious. Qian Rujun doesn't drink a lot, basically she hates the taste of wine. She never drank until she was so high that others couldn't force her to drink.
She doesn't want a little drunkard to appear around her, who will go out far in the future and be prone to mistakes when drinking. Unless it's cold and drinking can still help to warm up, otherwise, she really doesn't want a lot of drunkards around her.
Li Si thought about it, looked at the several long dragons and countless stalls below, and touched his stomach, feeling as if he couldn't hold so many things. He also hopes to feel the happiness of eating and the good taste clearly. Therefore, he had no choice but to nod and agree:
"Well, then I don't drink, but the reason I don't drink is not because I'm a kid, but because I want to eat something delicious, and I'm here to make delicious tastings. If the orange juice in the restaurant is not delicious, I will not drink it, orange, I have never heard of this kind of thing. Is it really fruit? No, I'll have to take a sip and see. “
Qian Rujun didn't care about Li Si's entanglement, and ordered side dishes such as melon seeds and dried tofu, and let the shop guy leave.
Soon, everything was delivered.
Li Si, who originally decided not to eat in the restaurant, drank a sip of orange juice and drank it all in one go, and the dried bean curd and other side dishes did not get out of his clutches.
The only thing that can slow him down is probably melon seeds. Because he is not very skilled at gnawing melon seeds. So eat slowly.
"Do you want to order a glass of juice for you, how about a kiwi fruit this time?" Li Si's expression showed longing, but he finally shook his head.
"I drank the orange juice first, because the orange juice is so delicious, the juice is water, it is easier to digest, wait for the toilet, and there will be no more. If you order another drink, you won't be able to eat anything else. The restaurant is open during the day. I can ask my grandfather to bring me to eat in the future. But there are probably not many opportunities for the night market. I had to leave my stomach to the night market. I didn't expect the food in this restaurant to be so delicious! Oh my God! I don't want to live anymore. ”
Qian Rujun rolled her eyes and didn't speak, anyway, as long as Li Si's behavior didn't affect her, she decided not to interfere and not to discipline. Moreover, looking at the thinking of a child like Li Si from her eyes, it is even more interesting! Qian Rujun knows that she is a pseudo-child at all. Li Si in front of him is the real child.
The children of the Han Dynasty are different from the children in the Qian Family Farm and the Central Water Tower School who have been poisoned by Qian Rujun's thoughts.
So Qian Rujun looked at Li Si's performance and thought it was very interesting.
Li Si is not stupid, he has a lively and cheerful temperament, so when Qian Rujun looks at him, he doesn't know if he will be happy. It's not that she's in love with Li Si, it's more like an adult observing an interesting child. Be amazed by your child's performance.
In fact, in Dahan, Li Si's child's career is almost coming to an end. Once he was twelve years old, he could be sent by his grandfather to his father, and he began to help people arrange the itinerary with his father.
People who know how to watch the weather sometimes need to be responsible for other things, such as arranging the whole trip. Even if he is not primarily responsible, he has to make reasonable suggestions based on the possible changes in the weather.
"It's delicious! It's so delicious! What should I do if I can't stop? Obviously, I also learned to make melon seeds at home, so why is it not as delicious as this place. Li Si wailed again.
"Because the materials used here are all from the Qian family's farm. This is the direct store of the Qian family's farm!" Qian Rujun did not hesitate to explain.
"......" Li Si glared at Qian Rujun: "Qian Family Farm, you seem to have the surname Qian? No, the central urban area seems to have developed based on Qian Family Farm...... Damn, you're the owner of this restaurant? Why doesn't anyone recognize you? I don't think the guy at that restaurant looks like he recognizes you? Do you need money to eat here? Do I want to order a few more dishes? So that I don't have to spend my grandfather's money...... But I still have to go to the night market to eat and drink...... Ahh
Li Si began to wail, and Qian Rujun was speechless for a while. Fortunately, he still knows how to control the volume, otherwise she would really want to slap people unconscious.
It seems that Li Si, this kid, still has a little conscience, and he doesn't really want to eat Qian Rujun, because he has taken into account the price. It's just that Qian Rujun hasn't let him know the price of food in the restaurant.
In the central water tower area, there are many industries that were founded by Qian Rujun at the beginning. At that time, the plot had just been transferred from the Bo family, and it was only rented in name.
It's just that when Qian Rujun founded the Central Water Tower, he was still a child less than ten years old, and the main person in charge here was Hu Stubble.
Ten-year-old Qian Rujun has changed a lot from his current appearance.
What's more, most of Qian Rujun's industries have not been started in person, they were handled by her subordinates to create them, and many people have not seen Qian Rujun yet. Speaking of which, Qian Rujun had already started his career as a hidden monarch at that time.
On the Chang'an side, Qian Rujun did not create a realistic style of painting, nor could he create it. Because the wealthy nobles of Chang'an, including the emperor himself, were afraid of assassination. The taller a person stands, the easier it is to stand in the way of others. Sometimes the person who wants to kill you doesn't necessarily have any grudge against you. It's just that you're in his way.
Moreover, there are many literati in Chang'an, and the literati attach importance to spirit, that is to say, they pay attention to the charm, if anyone can grasp a person's charm correctly, then the painting he paints will be called a masterpiece.
And Shen Yun is this thing, as long as it hasn't undergone special changes. It's hardly going to change. Even for children, Shen Yun will almost keep some of it.
Therefore, the people here in Chang'an do not like realism the most, thinking that this kind of painting is too ingenious, and they especially like the metaphysical style of painting.
Qian Rujun feels that if it is both realistic and can capture the charm of a person, then it is a truly successful figure painting.
Painting is the rise of Han classicism, and after the popularity of paper, a large number of painters' paintings emerged.
In the past, paintings had to be painted on silk cloth, and it was relatively rare to paint on bamboo slips, and linen cloth was not suitable for painting.
The fur of animals can be used for painting after being nitrated, especially in the Han Dynasty, and the sheep's skin, which was a favorite ingredient of the high aristocracy, was an important source of writing paper. Unfortunately, sheepskins are mostly used as clothing. Large, intact pieces of leather are uncommon. Fur fur is particularly warm and quite popular.
As long as the central water tower area is a restaurant that nominally belongs to Qian Rujun and the Qian family's farm, there will be a portrait of Qian Rujun hanging in the house.
It stands to reason that the shop guy can't not recognize him, but unfortunately this portrait is in a freehand style, although he looks at it every day, but the shop guy just can't recognize me.
As for the settlement, Qian Rujun still has to settle it. Estimating the cost of the restaurant. Even if Hu Stubble and Liang Xinyi, whom they recognize, come to eat, the money is still indispensable.
Qian Rujun does think that the person in the painting is quite similar to her, but unfortunately this seems to be just like Qian Rujun's temperament.
Therefore, although Qian Rujun was eating in his own restaurant, the store guys and the counter manager did not recognize Qian Rujun's identity.
Qian Rujun also didn't want to be recognized, because only if no one recognized her, she could go shopping freely, so why did Qian Rujun live in the suburbs separated from the central city by some distance. And he rarely goes into the city, and even if he does, he rarely shows his face, which is the reason.
However, there is one place where she has to show her face again, and that is in the many schools in the Central Water Tower District.
It's easy to move the school down, just build the house, and move the teachers and students with their belongings.
In Dahan, the price of fresh fruit juice is not cheaper than wine, because in this era, most of the land is used to grow grain, and the fruits and vegetables are not sold.
After all, the tax collected by the Han is not a money tax, but a tax in kind, and the tax rate is not low. At least for poor families, not low. Because Dahan does not have a policy of supporting the poor and weak, as long as there is arable land, you have to pay taxes.
Of course, if you have a privilege, then you don't have to pay.
The fruits used in the hotel are all produced by the Qian family farm, and the products of the Qian family farm, although they are not very expensive, are still two or three times more expensive than ordinary vegetables and fruits.
Qian Rujun himself doesn't care much about the price, and Li Si, this kid, at home, will not lack fruits to eat, his grandfather planted a few fruits that ripen in different seasons to ensure that his grandson has sufficient nutrition. So he thought that the price of orange juice was estimated to be the cheapest.
Little did he know that the price of orange juice happened to be the most expensive. Because of this thing, except for the Qian family farm, there is no semicolon. Unless, he went to the city of Golden Wheat to find it. Since most of the cultivated land in Jinmaicheng is saline-alkali land, the speed of planting fruits such as oranges is relatively slow.
Generally, Han people can't do things like growing fruits in front of and behind the house. Most of them let it grow in the wild, and eat what they can eat if they know it. If you don't recognize it, most of them don't dare to touch it except for children.
All the fields of the Han farmers grow grain, and they may not be able to eat enough, because the yield of the grain they grow is too low.
The emergence of the Qian family's farm made Qian Rujun take out a lot of new farm tools for the Han Dynasty, but unfortunately, the speed of the spread of these farm tools is a bit slow, not because the farmers are too poor to afford these new farm tools, after all, the vision of some big landlords is not so shallow, and there is still a lot of grain in their pockets that can be exchanged. Among other things, wheat is now hard currency.
It's a pity that blacksmiths were recruited into Shaofu in large numbers, and there was a lack of blacksmith processing for iron farming tools.
The things made of flour conquered the Han Dynasty, and what surprised Qian Rujun the most was that the bread actually appeared, something similar to a hamburger, and it was officially put on the Han table.
But before China cultivated wheat for so many years, it didn't invent bread and hamburgers?
Qian Rujun guessed that perhaps the thinking of the Han people was more open than that of later generations, and that in this era, the food produced from flour has not yet been finalized. Maybe when enough and enough delicious things are invented, the pace of invention will slow down.
They drank orange juice and nibbled on melon seeds in the restaurant, but they were not bored. Qian Rujun took the opportunity to ask a lot of questions and learned about Li Si. She felt that Li Si was a person who would run around, not a person who was peaceful, and such a person could just accompany her on her journey. Of course, Li Si's current level is not enough, but the school that Qian Rujun plans to open is for these people who are not of sufficient level. After all, at the age of eleven, it is difficult to meet the standard.
