Chapter 220: The Fish
Now the Gu family did not mention the conditions, but began to question the character and ability of Han Jianguo's proud second son, which made Lao Han angry and began to be proud again.
So Lao Han said very easily: "Don't worry about this, my son graduated from college, and now he just wants to take the civil service exam and is delayed, if he really goes out to find a job, what kind of job can't he find?" If my son really became a cadre, it would be absolutely no problem to earn money to support the family. ”
Seeing that Lao Han swore frankly to pack tickets for his son, Gu Xiaozhan couldn't say anything.
At this time, Lao Han was completely proud: "Three-six-nine go out, tomorrow is the ninth day of the new year, it is a good day, my aunt is from the demon capital, I will let him come to the door tomorrow to propose, I don't know where you will stay?" ”
Lao Han set the day with Lao Gu in high spirits, and began to say how his family would care for Xiao Miao in the future, and how he would treat her well, so that Lao Gu must rest assured.
When he couldn't blow it anymore, everyone had almost eaten.
"Boss, go check out." The most reluctant, Lao Han scolded Fang Xuan.
This old Han is full of momentum, but if he is still so imposing after a while, Han Peacock really admires him.
Han Peacock smiled very gently and did not refute anything, but he didn't move, but pressed a few times on the tablet on the table, so he was not as obedient as he smiled.
"It's possible to call the attendants here, and they'll be coming soon." Han Peacock said.
Sure enough, as soon as Han Peacock finished speaking, someone knocked on the door, and after coming in, Zhilu said that they were going to settle the bill, and the waiter handed over the bill directly.
"In-laws, we'll settle the bill. We're meeting for the first time, and we can't let you spend money. Gu Jianli saw that he wanted to settle the bill, so he naturally got up and pushed it, of course, the woman would definitely not pay the bill, this should be the man's business.
Therefore, Han Jianguo was not old and confused, he said very cooperatively: "How can I let you settle the bill, the first time we meet for dinner, it should be our man's." This rule has to be explained. Don't be polite to me. ”
pushed Yifan, Han Jianguo took the bill, looked at it for a while, and didn't understand: "I don't understand it either." Just tell me how much it is? ”
Although it is said that it is so. Han Jianguo still handed the bill in his hand to Han Rongrong beside him. It means let Han Rongrong see if there is anything wrong.
"Sir, it's six thousand three hundred and sixty dollars. Xie Lu Xie patronage. The waiter was very polite.
"How much? More than six thousand? Why is it so expensive? The exclamations of Han Rongrong and Han Jianguo sounded almost at the same time.
"What? More than six thousand? The Gu family on the side also shouted in surprise.
Only Han Peacock was not surprised, but he didn't make a sound, Lao Han blew all the cows out just now, so naturally there was a way to pay the bill.
"How can it be so expensive? You don't think we're outsiders and want to trick us, do you? By the way, your boss is still our countryman! Lao Han stammered a little and said to the waiter.
The waiter's attitude remained unchanged, and he still smiled so sweetly: "Distinguished guests, we have a menu in each private room, which is the one you use to order, and there is a price behind each dish."
Moreover, because you and the boss are fellow villagers, your dishes are served according to four times the amount, and we do not charge the private room fee and service charge.
If you disagree with the price, you can take a look at your à la carte menu, which is on the tablet over there, with a record of your purchases. ”
Han Rongrong's movements were very fast, he got together like Old Han, fiddling with the tablet embedded on the table, and soon, their consumption records were found out.
"That hand-washing crab only costs two hundred yuan each?" Han Rongrong knew that the crab was expensive, but he didn't come so expensive first, to know that the crab was not eaten by Han Peacock these days, if he knew that the crab would cost two hundred, he was reluctant to eat it, and how good it would be to take it out and sell it.
"Yes guest, we use the pike crabs that have just been salvaged, each of which weighs more than one catty, and the wholesale price of such crabs is one hundred yuan a catty, so the price of two hundred yuan is really not expensive, and the ginger vinegar osmanthus crab is also two hundred yuan each, and we don't make money at all when selling a crab at such a price." The waiter has a good attitude and can be said to answer all questions.
Han Peacock is very satisfied with this waiter, I really don't know where Chen Qing found this kind of skill, this restaurant has not been open for a long time, I didn't expect the quality of the waiter to be so high.
"Two hundred yuan a piece is not expensive?" Han Jianguo muttered to himself.
At this time, Gu Xiaozhan also came to Han Rongrong's side, although he didn't look down on Han Rongrong, but after all, he would be the husband of his sister in the future, and they were afraid of being cheated for such an expensive banquet.
"Ten hand-washed crabs are 2,000 yuan, ham stewed elbow is 280 yuan, pigeon eggs are 18 yuan, eggplant is 308 yuan, ten ginger vinegar osmanthus crabs are 2,000 yuan, chicken pith bamboo shoots are 508 yuan, quail is 208 yuan, roast venison is 308 yuan, goose paw duck letter is 308 yuan, and sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup are 288 yuan. It's a black shop, right? After reading the recipe, Gu Xiaozhan was also angry.
"What pigeon eggs cost a hundred and eighty dollars? How many pigeon eggs do you have to buy for 180 yuan? Gu Chengli also said angrily.
Although the guest was angry, the waiter was still so calm, and she explained again in a very beautiful voice: "Honored guest"
"Don't be honorable, no matter how noble we are, we will be here with you, and we will brush you for a lifetime, you can tell me what is going on, for what pot of pigeon eggs costs one hundred and eighteen."
Although Han Jianguo was very angry, he didn't choose the most expensive crab to talk about, they knew that the crab was indeed expensive, two hundred yuan a piece, and they really didn't say anything.
"That's right, please look at the tablet, click on the pigeon eggs, below there is a general production method of pigeon eggs, please see the secret seasoning column, which lists some valuable materials and processes in detail.
As long as you read it, you will know that we didn't overcharge you at all, and when you ate pigeon eggs just now, did you feel that you couldn't keep your mouth shut, so a large pot of pigeon eggs, there will be no one left?
This is the strength of our Red House Restaurant. The simpler the stuff, the more effort our chef spends on it, so it's better to eat, and it's definitely worth the money you spend so much money to eat such delicious pigeon eggs. ”
"So what's going on with this eggplant? Isn't this just an eggplant fried and fried? It's actually more expensive than venison, and such a pot actually costs 380 yuan. When Gu Chengli was eating, he paid attention to this dish, and although it was delicious, he still studied it. It's a deep-fried eggplant.
"Let's look at the tablet. It is also well documented, and of course, if you are impatient, I can also introduce it. It's a must-have for us. Young people should have heard of the name. Our restaurant is called Red Mansion Restaurant, and the food here is naturally related to the famous book Dream of Red Mansions, and eggplant is from Dream of Red Mansions. ”
Han Rongrong clicked on the eggplant. Eggplant is one of the most detailed dishes in "Dream of Red Mansions", and the preparation method is very cumbersome.
The eggplant that is picked off, the skin is removed first, as long as the meat is cleaned, cut into minced nails, fried with chicken fat, and then used chicken breast meat and mushrooms, new bamboo shoots, mushrooms, five-spice dried curd, dried fruits of all colors, all cut into dices, simmered dry with chicken broth, collect sesame oil, add bad oil and mix, put it in a porcelain jar and seal it tightly, take it out when you want to eat, and mix it with fried chicken and melon seeds.
As for whether it is delicious or not, you can know the Tao by looking at Grandma Liu's performance on the Dream of Red Mansions, which reads: This dish is not something that ordinary people have ever seen and eaten.
In addition, the pronunciation of the word 鲞 is xiǎng, "鲞", that is, dried fish that has been cut open and dried, such as "beef fish", "bamboo shoots", etc., are all pickled vinegar into dried flakes, and "eggplant" is a dried eggplant cut into slices and pickled.
So in the future, if someone asks you to eat the fish, don't be unhappy, this fish is definitely a good thing.
After seeing such a cumbersome process, Han Rongrong and they were all speechless, and at this time, they didn't have the face to be too expensive, who let them eat so comfortably, no one thought of looking at the price in advance?
"The guests should be content, you see, the dishes in our Red Mansion Restaurant are all loaded with this kind of flat bottom plate, and the table you use is obviously different, and the portions are increased, so our boss really takes care of you." The waiter made a summary after the last round.
"Looking at it this way, the food here is really not expensive." Lao Han's hands and feet were a little trembling, he didn't say it, although it was worth it, but he really couldn't afford it!
This is to take off the new eggplant buns in April and May, remove the skin and the stalks, as long as the meat is cleaned, cut into thin hair shreds, and dried, and you have to take a fat hen to make the old soup, and the chicken soup steamed in the steamer on the eggplant shreds is flavored, and then take it out to dry.
So nine steamed and nine dry, must be crispy, sealed in a magnetic jar, when you want to eat, take out a plate, with fried chicken and melon seeds to mix.
To make such a dish, you have to use a dozen chickens to match it, and such a fucking fried eggplant is really not something that ordinary people can afford.
"Boss, I don't have enough cash with me, you can swipe your card!" Lao Han hesitated again and again, but still chose to eat a big family, his eldest son has money, can he afford a house of more than three million yuan without money?
Han Peacock smiled: "Well, the card I gave you last time is still there, right?" Just swipe with that card. ”
Han Peacock didn't look at the smile on Old Han's frozen face, but he saw Han Rongxia who was struggling to speak, Han Peacock winked at her, and directly scared back what Han Rongxia wanted to say.
In the future, she will have to beg for a living under her eldest brother, who can and can't offend anyone, Han Rongxia has long known the way from Han Rongrong.
Han Peacock didn't give Lao Han time to react, he directly took out a card from the wallet that Lao Han had just taken out.
Han Peacock remembered that he had invested more than 8,000 yuan into Lao Han last time, and with Lao Han's careful little heart-picking, the money in it would definitely be enough to pay the bill.
There was a credit card machine on the table, and Han Peacock swiped it directly, and did not forget to kindly remind Lao Han: "Dad, just sign the bill after entering the password, and let Glory sign it instead of you." ”
Han Jianguo's old face no longer belonged to him at this time, he was distressed and anxious, he went to him for more than 6,000 yuan after a meal, and he really couldn't live this day.
Han Jianguo wants to have a seizure, who let Han Peacock bring them here! But his in-laws are still here, and he can't pull his face to talk about Han Peacock.
Thinking that just now he asked Han Peacock to ask the price of the banquet here, saying that he wanted to set up wine here, and now he wanted to smoke it when he thought of this.
Old Han settled the account with a sad face, but Han Peacock didn't seem to let him go like that. So he said again: "Dad, and Uncle Gu, are you eating okay?" ”
Gu Jianli was a little embarrassed and said: "It's good, the food is very good, it's just that the price is too expensive, so the in-laws are breaking the bank!" ”
"It's okay, isn't it just the cost of a meal?" At this time, Lao Han can only be a fat man with a public face.
Han Peacock couldn't help but smile and said: "It's good if you are satisfied, the owner of this restaurant is my friend, since both parties are still satisfied with eating." Let's set the wedding banquet of Glory and Xiao Miao here!
Although the food here is a bit more expensive. But it's better to be affordable, and if we bring our own drinks, the price won't be higher, besides. We don't have many relatives and friends in the city. It doesn't cost much either. If you want to make up for it when you go home in the future, then you can have a banquet for the friendship between the two sides. ”
Lao Han really wanted to say that he would not do it here anymore, but what he said just now had already been said. Now he doesn't have the face to say that he can't do it here, so he can only talk about the scene with a bitter face, and slap his swollen face and become fat.
Of course, the Gu family won't say anything, they felt wronged by their daughter in such a hurry, and now they naturally have no objection to holding a banquet in such a good restaurant, after all, this is something that can increase their daughter's face.
After settling the account, everyone relaxed, anyway, no matter how much money was spent, it was useless to feel distressed, so Lao Han didn't feel sorry for the money now, after all, he had gained face in front of his in-laws.
Han Peacock drank tea while asking some things about Han Rongxia, this time Han Rongxia came, naturally she didn't plan to go back, she also wanted to go to school in the magic capital.
Han Rongxia now thinks very clearly, this second brother is about to get married, and the family will definitely not spend less money, it turns out that Lao Han doesn't want Han Rongxia to study, and now that Han Rongrong gets married, if he spends all the family's money, then it is absolutely impossible for Lao Han to let her go to school.
So when she came out of the house this time, Han Rongxia tried her best to reduce her sense of existence, and she didn't talk without talking, so as to give Han Peacock a good impression, so that Han Peacock could take her in.
Han Peacock asked about Han Rongxia's results, and found that Han Rongxia's results were actually not bad, which made Han Rongrong a little happy.
Although there is a college student in their family, it is only a third-rate university, and if Han Rongxia studies hard, he may be able to be admitted to Modu University.
After drinking two pots of tea, after saying what both sides should have said, Gu Chengli stood up and wanted to leave, Lao Han hurriedly sent their family away, but he had no intention of leaving.
"Dad, aren't we leaving?" Han Rongrong asked.
Han Jianguo said while sending the Gu family to the family: "Let's stay for a while, and we have to ask about the banquet, such a big hotel, if you can't book in advance, you will definitely not be able to book a place at that time." ”
Han Peacock looked at Old Han strangely, and he didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
Han Rongrong was speechless, is this old Han still serious?
However, if a wedding can be held here, Han Rongrong will naturally not object.
Originally, he still looked down on Chen Qing's family a little, but when he really came to his hotel, he realized that people were really making it, and judging from the fact that the entire hotel was full, the daily turnover of this hotel must be an astonishing number.
At this time, Han Rongrong was in awe of Chen Qing's family, all that was left was awe, such an achievement, even if he had no brains and was arrogant, he knew that he would not be able to achieve it, at least in a few years or ten years, he would never have this kind of achievement.
Back in the box, Lao Han sat on the chair: "Peacock, ask them for a pot of tea again, eat too much, drink more water, their tea here is not bad." ”
Han Peacock smiled and didn't speak, just clicked on the tablet, he just ordered ordinary tea, so as long as you eat here, it will be given away for free, if you are not satisfied, you can also ask for a better tea, of course, that kind of tea, but it is expensive.
Although Han Peacock did not participate in the opening ceremony of the Red House Restaurant, Han Peacock was present in all the recipes in this restaurant, so he was very familiar with everything here.
Lao Han can't take advantage of it like this, so he can't give him a chance to kick his nose in the face, and it's very good to let him drink some free tea.
"Dad, are we really going to have a banquet here?" As soon as he sat down, Han Rongrong said a little impatiently.
Lao Han said angrily: "What kind of banquet?" When the time comes, it will be said that there is no place here, and looking at the busy scene of this hotel, we must be okay to say so. ”
"It's okay, let's drink this pot of tea and leave! Glory certainly hasn't slept well these days. Han Peacock said.
"Big brother, how do you compensate me? This time it must be because of you that I was involved. At this time, Han Rongrong remembered the grievances he had suffered, it was really five dark days!
Han Peacock smiled: "After staying in the cage for five days, I'll do one thing for you!" You say, whatever you want, you can do anything, of course, if I can achieve it, don't say anything that is unrealistic. ”
"Huh?" Han Rongrong looked at Han Peacock suspiciously, when did his eldest brother become so good?
"What if I want a million?" Han Rongrong hesitated.
Han Peacock's smile did not change: "Yes, but you have to think about it, but this is just such an opportunity." ”
Seeing that Han Rongrong hesitated, Han Peacock smiled even brighter, while the old Han couple and Han Rongxia on the side were a little surprised.
"Peacock, do you mean it really? A million can also be given to your brother? Lao Han was excited, just now he was worried that he had no money to do a happy event for his second son, but now that the sky has brought great blessings, the eldest son is willing to bleed.
Han Peacock smiled: "Really, if Glory wants a million, I'll prepare it for you, and you can make up enough when you get married." ”
"The boss has a lot of skills, and one million can be enough, so that's right! You are brothers, and it is right to help each other. Han Jianguo was greatly relieved.
Han Peacock said to Han Rongrong: "What do you say? Really a million? ”
Seeing Han Peacock like that, Han Rongrong didn't dare to speak, and Old Han's eyes blinked, so he almost agreed instead of Han Rongrong. (To be continued......)
