Chapter 14: Restaurant Experience
Before he stepped into the restaurant, Xiao Er, who had vicious eyes, saw that this group of people was brightly dressed, and they looked like rich masters. The www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" immediately greeted him with a smile and greeted him courteously: "A few guest officers, are you drinking or staying in the hotel?" ”
Lu Chengqi took back the folding fan in a chic manner, slapped it in his hand, and asked with interest, "Is there a private room?" ”
The shopkeeper was embarrassed and said: "A few guest officers, I'm really sorry, the private rooms have been booked, it's better to introduce a table by the window and the street, what do you think?" ”
Lu Chengqi thought about it, and only by being close to life could he investigate what he wanted, and said, "Okay, you can lead the way." ”
The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and politely led them to a large table facing the window on the street, and after wiping the table vigorously, he said, "What kind of wine does the guest order?" ”
Lu Chengqi asked, "What kind of wine?" ”
The shopkeeper said: "The small shop has excellent Huadiao wine, plum wine, medicinal wine, and big soju, among which Huadiao wine has been aged for the longest time and has the most mellow taste; Plum wine is sweet and appetizing, and a glass before a meal is essential; The medicinal wine strengthens the limbs and is quite effective; Big shochu has a lot of stamina, and it's best to drink it lukewarm......"
Lu Chengqi said: "Let's have a pot of flower carvings." ”
"Okay, guest officer, you wait." The shopkeeper was sharp-eyed, and saw that this group of people was headed by Lu Chengqi, and said that he was a rich kid, and there were some followers behind him, so he didn't bother with them.
After a while, a pot of good flower carvings was served, and the shopkeeper poured a cup for Lu Chengqi as if he were courteous, and watched Lu Chengqi finish drinking. As soon as Huadiao wine was entered, Lu Chengqi felt mellow and fragrant, and then glanced at the yellow and clear wine, and carefully tasted the thick stamina of Huadiao wine, even if he was not a good winemaker, he couldn't help but praise: "Good wine!" ”
At this time, he noticed that the shopkeeper did not leave, but was still bowing and laughing on the side, he couldn't help but wonder, just wanted to speak, but saw Wang Yanchen hurriedly took out a handful of copper coins and stuffed them into the shopkeeper's second-hand hand, and the shopkeeper even smiled wrinkles in his eyes when he boarded: "Thank you for the reward!" ”
Lu Chengqi couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect that in this world's restaurants, he could encounter tipping, in his impression, only high-end Western restaurants have to tip.
But after thinking about it, the decoration of this restaurant is also luxurious, not only facing the street, but also hanging famous paintings, inserting flowers at four o'clock, and skillfully setting up bonsai, this environment alone is also worthy of this price. And in the eye-catching place below, there is also a stage on which a father and daughter are singing.
Lu Chengqi just wanted to ask, why there was no menu, but the shopkeeper took out a brown paper-like thing out of nowhere, with Lu Chengqi's knowledge, he naturally knew that it was a recipe.
The shopkeeper said diligently: "Guest officer, look at the plate and take a closer look, the wine and food in this store are the best in the capital, this is not a small boast, the second-grade officials who have eaten in the store, down to the common people, all praise each other." ”
Lu Chengqi spread out this "look at the plate", thinking that it was another name for the recipe. But he saw that there were many dish names that he had never seen before, so he ordered more than a dozen dish names in one go, and only ordered the shopkeeper's heart was full of joy, knowing that he had really met a rich man this time.
happily put away the plate, sang the food report to the kitchen, turned back step by step, and looked at Lu Chengqi reluctantly, afraid that he would forget the appearance of this distinguished guest.
Lu Chengqi listened carefully to the singing on the first floor, although he didn't know what he was singing, he always felt very good. At this moment, a rough voice sounded: "Xiao Er, what are you crying and singing on the first floor below, I was upset when I heard it, and I quickly taught her to stop, don't disturb the uncles to talk about things!" ”
As soon as the shopkeeper saw that the man looked like a meaty face, he knew that he was a master who was not easy to mess with, and how dare he disobey, so he had to say to the father and daughter: "You don't want to sing, quickly settle the salary, and go elsewhere to make a living." ”
The middle-aged man sighed lightly and said, "Xiuhong, let's go." ”
The woman lowered her head, and Lu Chengqi clearly saw two lines of tears on her face, and compassion rose in his heart. Although the woman is not very beautiful, she is also born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and she has a good singing voice, which is more than the stars of later generations. Lu Chengqi said in his heart: "If it is in modern times, such a woman is a first-class singer, how can she fall to such a state?" ”
With a thought, Lu Chengqi said: "Wang Yanchen, go and call the father and daughter up, my son has something to ask them." ”
Wang Yanchen immediately ran downstairs in person and stopped the father and daughter who were about to leave after paying their wages. The father and daughter looked surprised, but they didn't dare to disobey Wang Yanchen and went up to the second floor together.
The father and daughter came to Lu Chengqi's table, and said in unison: "I've seen the son, I don't know what the son commands?" ”
Lu Chengqi said: "I don't think your accent is from Chang'an, I don't know where you are from?" ”
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "Childe has good ears, we are indeed not people from Chang'an, but Kaifeng people who fled here, Childe must have heard that the Yellow River was flooded, and our houses and fields were all washed away, and we were forced to leave our hometown in desperation." Fortunately, I know some musical instruments, so that I don't end up on the streets. ”
Lu Chengqi's face showed anger, but he quickly endured it again, and said in his heart: "It's the Yellow River case again, these corrupt officials, all deserve to die!" Lu Chengqi can imagine that there are more miserable people than this father and daughter, according to the statistics of the household department, there should be more than 200,000 households affected by the disaster. And who cares about the life and death of these disaster victims? Thinking of the tragic situation of starving for thousands of miles and eating by his son, Lu Chengqi was furious. The murderous intent that had gradually subsided gradually surfaced again.
Lu Chengqi hurriedly drank a glass of wine, calmed down a little, and said: "Just now, I heard that your singing voice is very special, and I want you to sing again, sing well, my son is rewarded!" ”
The father and daughter were overjoyed, and hurriedly took out the flute and began to sing. And at this moment, the wine and food also began to be served. But Lu Chengqi's originally good mood has been replaced by heaviness. I tasted a lot of food without knowing it, but I was thinking about how to deal with the floods of the Yellow River.
After singing a song, Lu Chengqi still has no good way, after all, in this era, there is no dam made of steel and concrete, and there is no timely disaster relief materials. "It's hard!" Lu Chengqi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The meal was unpleasant, Lu Chengqi was not interested, and asked someone to reward a few taels of silver to the father and daughter, and then settled the bill and left. The father and daughter were shocked by these few taels of silver, and it took a long time to come back to their senses......
Lu Chengqi didn't expect that after a meal, in addition to the money rewarded, it would cost twelve taels of silver. What is the concept of twelve taels of silver? It is equal to 12 yuan of money, which is converted into the currency of the future, which is 12,000 yuan! After eating so much money for one meal, Lu Chengqi also had a feeling of a local tyrant......
"In this era, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, which is the disaster of the country! No, I have to feed and clothe most people and slowly reach a well-off life before I have a chance to realize my ambitions. Lu Chengqi walked back to the palace while thinking about this eternal problem......
