Chapter 114: The Grand Opening of the Western Restaurant
There were no gongs and drums, no firecrackers, and Chen Lang's Western Restaurant, located at the easternmost end of Freezer Street, was grandly opened. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the foot of the steps in front of the building, Qiu Ju, who was wearing black half-heeled cowhide over-the-knee boots, wearing a black stewardess ceremonial dress, wearing the same black boat-shaped hat, and holding a large wooden tray in her hand, on which was placed a large flower made of red silk, and next to the red flower was a pair of shiny silver scissors, and behind her stood four young and beautiful girls in the same dress, who were waiting for the auspicious time to cut the ribbon.
After a while, I saw Chen Langmian in a big red robe walking over with irrepressible joy, on his left was Xie Jinwu in a goose yellow robe, and on his right was Ding Qian in a duck egg blue robe.
Although the opening ceremony of Chen Lang's Western restaurant was not noisy with gongs and drums, firecrackers rang out, it was because Chen Lang's father, Chen Changzhou, repeatedly told his son to keep a low profile and be low-key, and not to make a big fuss.
But sometimes, it's not that you can keep a low profile if you want to, because everyone lives in this space, and there are still many people who tend to be inflammatory, always paying attention to the big and small things of their chief's family. Although Chen Lang didn't say hello to anyone, I don't know that everyone got the news of the ribbon cutting of the western restaurant run by Chen Lang from that channel, and there were still many people who came to congratulate them, Li Siya, Liu Touban, Zheng Bantou and other forty or fifty Kaifeng officials, large and small, dressed in ordinary people's clothes, waiting in front of the building early.
Everyone saw Chen Lang, Ding Qian, and Xie Jinwu coming over, and applauded.
Chen Lang smiled and waved his hand to everyone, and after everyone quieted down for a while, Ding Qian took a step forward and bowed his hand to the people and said: "Guests, today I am entrusted by Chen Lang Gongzi to preside over the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Western restaurant. The opening of this western restaurant will be a wonderful flower blooming in the food industry of Bianliang City, and I believe that the opening of this western restaurant will bring rare delicacies to all gourmets in Bianliang City, Tokyo. At the same time, I also believe that this western restaurant can bring everyone a better life enjoyment with unique food, characteristic and high-quality service. Next, please ask the shopkeeper of the western restaurant, Chen Lang to cut the ribbon. ”
There was another round of applause.
Chen Lang walked up to Qiu Ju and reached out to pick up the silver scissors.
The four girls standing behind Qiu Ju immediately walked over, and while the two of them picked up the big red silk flower from the tray, Chen Lang checked the scissors in his hand, and cut the big red flower from the middle with a "click".
The onlookers cheered again.
Chen Lang put the scissors in the tray, turned around and bowed to everyone, "Thank you for appreciating the light." ”
Ding Qian said to everyone: "Now I invite the special guest, Mr. Xie Jinwu, to reveal the plaque of the Western restaurant. ”
After Xie Jinwu took a step forward to bow to everyone, he walked to the door, stretched out his hand to uncover the red silk covering the top plaque, and instantly four golden characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing appeared in front of everyone: "Heaven and earth!" ”
The crowd of onlookers was staggered and applauded, saying that the name of the restaurant was good, and some were appreciating the wonder of calligraphy.
Ding Qian pointed to the plaque and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you know whose ink treasure is the four words of heaven and earth on this plaque?" ”
Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know.
Ding Qiandao: "Let me tell you, this plaque is the first Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River, and the ink treasure of the old man of the court. ”
Everyone was surprised when they heard it, this Chen Lang is really powerful, Dad is the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, not to mention, even this plaque is written by Wang Qinruo, the assistant of the court, if the business of the Western restaurant in the world is not hot, whose business can still be hot, it seems that it must be added to the market often in the future.
Come a few more times, maybe you can still meet Wang Qinruo and other ministers of the court, and by the way, it is also good to make personal connections, so as to facilitate your future progress, what is this called, this is called someone in the court who is good to be an official.
After the plaque was unveiled, Ding Qian said: "Next, please invite Chen Lang, the chief shopkeeper of the Western Restaurant in Heaven and Earth, to speak." ”
Chen Lang took two steps forward, walked to the middle of the crowd, bowed deeply to everyone, and said: "Friends, thank you for coming, in the past, I Chen Lang knew to eat, drink and have fun all day long, spend my days in chaos, waste time, spend a lot of time, think about it, even the intestines are repentant, but there is no regret medicine in the world." The ancients knew that mistakes can improve greatly, and I, Chen Lang, decided to change my mind from now on, be a new person, be a self-reliant person, and build my own future with my own hands and wisdom. Speaking of this, he hugged his fist and said: "Of course, this is inseparable from everyone's strong support, everyone picks up some flames, I believe that with everyone's help, my heaven and earth will soon become popular, unique in our Tokyo Bianliang City food industry, shine." In order to thank you for coming, I prepared a thin wine and vegetarian dish in Qianchun Building for the guests. You may have to ask, why don't I entertain you in this heaven and earth, you are really sorry, this Western food is very particular, that is, there should not be too many people, it is best to come at night when the lamp is held, so that under the flickering candlelight, raise a glass with your dear woman to drink, it is a special mood, that can reflect what is heaven and earth. ”
Chen Lang's words hung up everyone's tastes, and they talked about it one after another, saying: "There is so much attention to eating Western food!" ”
The man pretended to understand: "Of course, don't you see the dress of the five waiters, when you look at this heaven and earth, it is of high grade." ”
There is also humanity: "Candlelight dinner, it must be a very beautiful enjoyment, think about the woman you love with yourself, slowly savoring the wine and food, the flickering candlelight under the four eyes and veins are affectionate, it can be said that there is really a special taste in the heart." ”
Chen Lang listened to everyone's discussions, and felt indescribably happy in his heart, and said: "Okay, let's go to Qianchun Tower for dinner first, and please come to my heaven and earth in the evening, so that everyone will know the true face of Lushan." It's sure to make you feel refreshed and nostalgic. ”
Everyone nodded and walked in the direction of Qianchun Tower, naturally pushing the cup and changing the lamp.
As night falls, a day of entertainment seems to have just begun for the bustling metropolis of Tokyo's Bianliang Castle.
At this time, the freezer street has changed from the cold in the past, and in front of the dozens of shops that have opened, colorful lanterns have been set up, illuminating the entire street as if it were daytime.
The front door of the Western Restaurant in Heaven and Earth is hung with two European-style lanterns designed and made by Ding Qian, this kind of lantern is a seven-headed chandelier, and the main lamp in the middle is inserted with a big red candle as thick as an adult's wrist, surrounded by six slightly smaller auxiliary lanterns, which are inserted with six red candles with the thickness of children's arms, just like seven stars.
When I entered the door, I saw a small and delicate lamp sitting on the wall, on which there was a wax table made of brass, and red candles were also inserted on it, and the whole room looked very festive, giving people an extremely warm feeling.
In the twelve small boxes upstairs and downstairs that can only seat four people, the tables and chairs are all warm yellow, and the walls are the same color, making people feel a kind of warmth on their faces.
In fact, everyone knows that these people are not husband and wife at all, just some men who are willing to have fun, girls from Qinglou, or courtesans, and then take a closer look at most of these people who come to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony during the day, they are really as Chen Lang said to appreciate the different atmosphere here.
As the foreman, Qiu Ju commanded the four girls to be busy non-stop, not only responsible for serving wine and food, but also instructing the guests how to use knives and forks and other utensils to eat those delicious steaks in their mouths.
Seeing the guests eating with relish under their guidance, the girls actually felt a sense of accomplishment in their hearts.
At the beginning, the guests were in a hurry and clumsy holding those knives and forks at a loss, and gradually mastered the essentials, skillfully cutting steaks, etc., so Qiu Ju and others quietly withdrew from the box, allowing the guests to enjoy their own space freely.
They are dressed in stewardess ceremonial uniforms, standing in the hall, like nightshades blooming in the night under the flickering candlelight, becoming a beautiful scenery.
At this time, the box was already the world of the two of these couples, they were eating steak and tasting grape wine in the flickering candlelight, and gradually their eyes were blurred, and each other's eyes were full of infinite tenderness, whether they were drunk or drunk, it can only be said that the color is not charming and everyone is fascinated, and everyone is drunk if they are not drunk, everyone is intoxicated, and they are intoxicated in this exotic flavor and mood.
It's an intoxicating night, it's an exciting night.
Of course, the most excited tonight is Chen Lang, the big shopkeeper of the Western Restaurant in Heaven and Earth.
Chen Lang walked upstairs and downstairs, looking at the pair of men and women embracing each other in the box through the door curtain, with an embarrassed smile on his face, he felt that the happiest person now was him Chen Lang, haha, from today onwards, I am also a capable person.
People often say that career is a man's waist, and money is a man's aphrodisiac, haha, this is really a golden saying.
In the past, I always traveled around, although there was no shortage of silver in my pocket, but my waist board was not so straight, haha, now I Chen Lang has something to do, see who can look down on this eldest son, and not only has something to do, if it goes on like tonight, then in the future, the silver I earn will be Haihai's, let's also be masculine!
