After seeing this courtyard house with several entrances and exits, Han Ankang also had the feeling of turning over as a local master. (Please search, or enter directly to see the latest chapter) such a high-gate building, which was once the residence of high-ranking officials and dignitaries like landlords, has now become his territory. It is impossible to say that there is no excitement in my heart.
Looking at Liu Liting beside her, she seemed to be very fond of the embroidery building she had just seen, and Han Ankang felt that it was always a bit of a waste when the house was empty. Soon, Liu Liting said shyly: "Liting, wait a minute, I'll let someone give you a key, when you want to come and live in the future, just come over."
I think that embroidery building is really good, and in ancient times, it was really inhabited by a girl like you. Let you experience the life of the ancient daughter, and by the way, you have time to help me see the rent, how about it? Won't refuse, right? β
Although I longed to move here one day, I didn't expect Han Ankang to be so happy and let her live in the room that was indeed renovated with the girl's boudoir. In Liu Liting's heart, this is also misunderstood as similar to the feeling of living under the same roof. Although I felt that some fawns were starting to bump into my heart, I still agreed very happily.
After inspecting another residence in the capital, seeing that it was still early, Han Ankang proposed to visit the alley near the courtyard. Speaking of which, this courtyard residential area allows private acquisitions, but it is more also for private individuals to bear the high maintenance costs. The preservation of this ancient architectural complex, which is rare in Beijing, is also convenient for some tourists to come here to appreciate the unique Hutong culture of Beijing.
Walking out of this courtyard community, which is mostly sold to private investors, Han Ankang asked Jiang Minghao and others not to follow too closely. Let Liu Liting, who has been here a few times, give him a tour guide and introduce him to a residential area on the other side, which has been opened into a commercial street and a tourist area.
Compared with Han Ankang's courtyard house, which can be parked at the entrance of the courtyard, this residential area can now accommodate more cars. Looking at the tourists who take pictures from time to time with the camera across his waist, Han Ankang is also very interested, looking at these unique buildings that belong to ancient times. Unconsciously, I didn't even know when Liu Liting would take his arm.
When Han Ankang realized that it was easy for people to misunderstand, looking at Liu Liting with a happy face, he didn't have much to say. Anyway, other girls don't mind, he is a big man and takes the initiative to refuse, which is somewhat unkind. In addition, he has a really good feeling for Liu Liting, and he can only pretend not to see it, accompanying Liu Liting like a pair of lovers, wandering among the various alleys that began to be crowded, admiring the unique hutong culture here.
Jiang Minghao, who was always not far behind the two, and the other three bodyguards were two in front and two behind, protecting Han Ankang's safety. Although they knew that in the political power center of Huaxia, no one dared to trouble Han Ankang openly. But as Han Ankang's bodyguards, they have the responsibility and obligation to ensure that Han Ankang is not attacked or endangered in any way.
It wasn't until Han Ankang, who was walking around in the alley and didn't know where he was, saw that the doors of many small restaurants were crowded with people eating, and he thought that he had arrived at the meal before he knew it. Thinking of Liu Liting's hardship today, who has been a tour guide with him for so long, Han Ankang also proposed to invite Liu Liting to have a meal. It's best to pick a quieter place, though.
In this regard, Liu Liting quickly remembered a private restaurant that her cousin had taken her to before. The food in that restaurant is very authentic, and the owner's cooking skills are also well-known in the capital. Most of the people who can eat there have a bit of wealth. And the meals there are often membership-based. If no one introduces you, you may not be able to find a seat if you want to eat there.
Last time, Liu Liting, who followed her cousin Liu Liyang and a group of children from a military family in Beijing to eat there, and was also given a membership card by the boss, quickly took Han Ankang to the private restaurant in a courtyard. Eating there, as long as there is a location, it is very quiet, and no one will disturb the guests to eat inside.
Of course, the cost of eating a meal there is no lower than that of a top restaurant. Therefore, ordinary tourists and ordinary people go to this kind of private restaurant to eat, and it is really not necessarily expensive. In the past, when Liu Liyang took Liu Liting to dinner, he would often make an appointment in advance, otherwise there would rarely be a private room.
Because it was not too far from the private restaurant, Liu Liting also saved the step of making a phone call and walked directly to the restaurant with Han Ankang. Looking at the circle in the alley, coming to a corner of the alley, in front of the courtyard house with the signboard of the Tan family's restaurant, Han Ankang also sighed that this owner was really willing to spend money to open such a precious courtyard house.
Although it was time to eat, there was still no car parked at the door of this restaurant, waiting for Liu Liting to introduce it. This restaurant deliberately chose to open the restaurant here to avoid too much traffic and noisy customers who eat here. Don't look at the lack of foot traffic here, but there are no fewer people who come here to eat every day.
Coupled with the consumption of tens of thousands of yuan, it is not everyone's consumption, so sometimes even if there are not many customers, the boss is also not afraid of losing money. Not to mention, just with this signboard, diners who want to taste the Tan family's private dishes. I'd rather walk a little bit to this restaurant.
Compared with the receptionists in front of other restaurants, they are all welcome receptionists, and the two female receptionists in front of this restaurant. But he politely asked if they had a membership card. Without a membership card, the restaurant rarely allows diners to enter. In a sense, this restaurant is only a business for related households.
After Liu Liting showed a membership card, the receptionist asked about the number of people, and quickly said that there was no small box inside. If Liu Liting doesn't mind, she can go to the courtyard of the restaurant and eat at the table separated by a screen.
It's rare to have a meal and encounter so many rules, Han Ankang naturally became a little interested, and quickly said that he would eat a meal. Eating in the room and outside, as long as it is quiet, it doesn't matter, which makes Liu Liting, who has a somewhat embarrassed expression. didn't say anything more, took Han Ankang and the four bodyguards, and followed the waiter to the dining table in the middle of the courtyard, which was separated by a simple wooden screen.
Looking at these tables also looking very quaint, Han Ankang was also very curious about what was so strange about the dishes made here. What's even more rare is that Han Ankang seemed to be very restrained when he saw the canteen that came in to eat. It's not like eating in other places, everywhere seems to be full of people.
Looking at the menu handed over by the waiter, although I had been mentally prepared, I could see the cold dishes on it. When almost every copy cost hundreds of dollars, and dozens of yuan were pitiful, Han Ankang was really speechless. Why do you have to sell three or five pieces of peanuts outside for one hundred and twenty-one cupboards?
Perhaps seeing the surprise in Han Ankang's eyes, Liu Liting explained in a low voice: "Brother Han, the food here is indeed more expensive, but the taste is very authentic. As for this common cold dish on the market, the flavor made here is also different. And this price, everyone has filed it with the Price Bureau. β
Okay! I want to complain that the price here is too high, I'm afraid it won't work. Han Ankang soon stopped looking at the menu, handed the menu to Liu Liting and said, "Liting, since you have been here, then you can look at a few things."
You don't care about the price, as long as you think it tastes good, you can order it and try it. Anyway, it's the first time I've grown so big, and I've seen a cupboard of peanuts selling for 128. I also want to know what makes such an expensive peanut so special. β
Knowing the prices here, it is indeed too high for first-time diners. Liu Liting didn't say much, she took the menu and quickly ordered a few, she felt very good when she came over the previous time. One of the best Buddha jumped over the wall, and the price reached the price of 4,808.
After ordering these dishes of nearly 10,000 yuan, watching the waiter leave politely, Liu Liting and Han Ankang probably talked about the origin of the Tan family's private dishes. This restaurant, that is, many old people in Beijing, will let their children and grandchildren order meals from here from time to time to take home to spice up the taste.
There are even diners who have come across it here, and who used to only see high-level dining on TV. Therefore, despite knowing that this restaurant is lucrative, few people dare to eat here and make trouble.
Moreover, the owner of this private restaurant, many times, when the state entertains foreign guests, he will take him to the helm. This also means that the boss here is a kind of Cheng dΓΉ, which is also a bit of a royal chef. Not to mention, it occasionally hosts a lot of domestic and foreign dignitaries who come to dine. So in terms of price, it's not difficult to understand that it's a little different.
After listening to these introductions, although Han Ankang didn't quite understand why the price was so high, he also understood why the diners who ate here seemed so polite and well-mannered. Dare to love the owner of this restaurant, and ordinary people really don't dare to make trouble here, so as not to spread it out and let others laugh at their lack of education.
In the midst of this conversation, the waiter brought tea and a few delicate snacks to Han Ankang and others. There is no charge for these things, but they must be served by the waiter who ordered the food. In a sense, this can be regarded as a stick first, and then give some good taste.
Drinking this tea that is said to be the best Longjing tea, Han Ankang felt that there would be no huge income, and he would not have the owner of the restaurant. I am willing to use this kind of superb Longjing tea and this kind of small snacks that are also handmade according to Liu Liting to entertain guests, in the end, this wool is still out of their fat sheep!
