Chapter 521: Old Man Wang Invites Us to Dinner
Since everything has been discussed, the next thing is the store decoration, but thanks to the opening of a barbecue restaurant, as long as the meat is fragrant and beautiful, it can be done, and I advocate take-out, let customers take away, so the interior decoration is simpler.
For my plan, Wang Wuzi and Xiaodouzi have no opinions, but Mr. Wang has opened a medicinal herb store and is quite familiar with this part, so it is recommended that we decorate it as well, and as for the decoration cost, he will come out.
Since that's the case, then I don't bother to bother anymore, as long as I don't pay for it.
Before I knew it, the sun had risen to noon, and it was already time for lunch, and Old Man Wang would also entertain guests, shouting that we would find a restaurant to have a meal together, which could be regarded as celebrating his shareholding, and I didn't shirk it, and pulled the boss Tu Hong to shout Wang Wu and Mo Lu plus two little girls, closed the door of the store and followed Old Man Wang and walked towards the market.
A few of us followed the old man Wang to walk around the market, and soon came to the door of a hotel that looked like a few luxury, the two wooden doors of the hotel in front of us were nearly three meters high, and there were two huge red lanterns hanging on both sides of the wooden door, but now it was daylight, the lanterns were not lit with candles, but they were still swaying slightly in the slight wind, a large red signboard with a height of more than half a person and a length of about two meters was hung in it, and the signboard was written with three big characters: Cyclamen.
I looked at the hotel in front of me and couldn't help but take a deep breath. In terms of the scale of this hotel, it is comparable to the five-star hotel before I crossed, and it is estimated that there are even presidential suites in this hotel.
"Master Bi, everyone, please come in." As soon as the old man Wang reached the door of the hotel, he stopped, turned around and gestured towards us.
I nodded, and walked into the door of this big hotel, and Situ Hong and Mo Lu next to me did not hesitate, and walked in after me.
As soon as I walked into the hotel, I was immediately stunned. I'll go. This is really a five-star hotel!
The hall is wide and lively, and the wooden tables are full of diners pushing glasses and changing lamps, and each table is full of various dishes and old wines, and the aroma of wine overflows to make people's stomachs scream. A few shopkeepers in clean and coarse cloth clothes were busy. The carved beams and pillars in this hall alone are not stained with dust. It's so comfortable to watch.
"Mr. Wang, ...... this hotel?" I turned my head and looked at the smiling old man next to me in some surprise.
"Oh, this restaurant is owned by an old friend of the old man. Please rest assured. Old man Wang replied with a smile.
An old friend of Old Man Wang can open such a big hotel in the capital, and if I want to come to Old Man Wang's medicinal material business, it should not be small, and I will have to ask him if I see Chen Bo again in Ming'er, whether this medicinal material business is particularly profitable, otherwise I simply should not be a civil servant, and open a medicinal herb shop instead!
As soon as Old Man Wang's words fell, he saw a shopkeeper wearing coarse cloth clothes and a square hat running over, and the shopkeeper had a white towel on his shoulder, which he could see was used to wipe the table.
The shopkeeper ran to the front, looked at a few of us, then turned his head to look at the old man Wang on the side, bowed down with a smile and asked, "Master Wang, you are here, what do you want to eat today?" ”
"Today, the old man is just bringing his friends here for lunch, just bring your specialty dishes here!" Old man Wang said casually.
"Okay, Master Wang, a few guest officers, please upstairs, the shopkeeper has left a seat upstairs." The shopkeeper turned around and led us upstairs.
The lobby on the first floor of this cyclamen residence looks extremely vast, although it is full of wooden tables, but each wooden table is full of bustling diners, it looks very lively, I originally thought that the second floor would be smaller than the first floor, but when we followed the second floor up to the second floor, we found that although the second floor was divided into small rooms, but from time to time there were bursts of shouting in each small room, and it could be heard that this person was eating and drinking extremely happy.
The shopkeeper didn't say much, and after turning the corner of the private room, he stopped in front of the door of the small room opposite the stairs upstairs, and then pushed the door of the small room open with a gentle push, and suddenly his eyes suddenly lit up, "Master Wang, a few guest officers, please wait in this private room, the food will be served immediately." After saying that, the shopkeeper turned around and left.
As soon as the shopkeeper left, the old man Wang led us into this private room, as soon as I walked in, I saw that this small private room was very elegantly arranged, facing the door is a wooden window, the wooden window is facing the bustling market, together you can see the shops selling on both sides of the market, the walls on both sides of the private room are hung with landscape paintings left by unknown people, and there are four small pale pink lanterns hanging on the roof, it can be seen that this private room should be very bright at night. In the center of the private room was a small wooden table, which looked very simple and had nothing.
A few of us are not polite, as soon as we walked into this private room and sat down, not long after the shopkeeper turned around and walked back, there was a small teapot in his hand, and the other hand brought seven or eight cyan teacups, as soon as he entered this private room, he poured us full of tea, looking at the teacup filled with pale yellow tea, the tea was flooded with a faint white mist, and only a moment this small private room was filled with a faint tea fragrance that made people calm down.
"Hehehehe...... everyone, although this cyclamen house is owned by the old man's old friend, outsiders think it is in the name of food, but in fact, the tea in this cyclamen house is the best quality!" Old man Wang said that he was not polite, and as soon as he raised his hand, he picked up the tea in front of him that overflowed with the fragrance of tea, and then gently sipped it on his lips.
This tea tasting is different from wine tasting, the real wine tasting is to hold the light liquor in the mouth, make a turn on the tongue coating, and then swallow it slowly, in the mouth is to let the taste buds fully feel the fragrance and taste of the wine, especially for the taste of red wine, and tea tasting is different from wine tasting, tea tasting only needs to let the tea from the lips to the tip of the tongue, and then along the tongue coating to the throat, like a trickle of slowly swallowed, the fragrance of the tea will naturally spread in the mouth, so that the whole body can feel the aroma of tea.
At this time, I saw Old Man Wang tasting tea like this, he was definitely a master of tea tasting, and for a while I had to wonder if he had also crossed over?!
I raised my hand and picked up the teacup in front of me, and took a sip of it gently, the warm tea flowed down my throat with the tip of my tongue, and the faint refreshing fragrance seemed to come to life, flowing down my throat.
Sure enough, it's good tea.
The Mo Lu sitting next to him is different, after all, Mo Lu is a sword casting master, and he is also a person who has seen the world, and the technique of tasting tea is similar to the old man Wang in front of him, and Situ Hong has grown up in a rich family since he was a child, and he is not a problem for tea tasting, Xiaodouzi and Yue'er, the two girls sitting next to her, are quite careful to learn her appearance, and drink the tea in the cup in small sips, but for Wang Wu and his wife, the red fox's drinking method is completely like drinking, and the tea in the cup is drunk in one sip. And Wang Wu is even more bold, not only drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, but also poured a full cup through the teapot, which is definitely like a cow drinking water!
I now finally know what 'cow chews peony' means!
Mo Lu leisurely drank the tea in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at Old Man Wang and said slowly with a little smile on his face: "I have always heard that there is a medicine king in this capital, it should be Mr. Wang, right!?" ”
"Ha Lu Ha Ha Ha ......, they are all old friends of the old man to carry love, and they gave the old man this title, it is not worth mentioning, it is not worth mentioning!" As soon as Old Man Wang heard Mo Lu say this, he immediately raised his hand and waved it slightly, looking quite proud.
I turned my head to look at Mo Lu beside me, and asked in slight surprise, "...... the Medicine King?" ”
When Mo Lu saw me looking at him, he opened his mouth to explain: "Ruhua said, there is a medicine king in this capital, and the herbs he sells are unmatched in the capital, especially in the palace, even the emperor praises him!" ”
I listened to his words, couldn't help nodding, and then solemnly looked at the old man Wang in front of me, I go, dare to love this is still a low-key rich man!
