Chapter Seventy-One: The Restaurant
Ling Piaohan responded: "Alone, can you bring me a single room, I like a quiet place"
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment when he heard this, Ling Piaohan's dress was just a very ordinary young man, although he was quite handsome.
But the dress in a cloth dress told the shopkeeper very clearly that he was just a child of an ordinary family.
Although this small restaurant is not a large restaurant with a straight decoration, it is also a famous restaurant in the neighborhood, and several signature dishes are also enjoyed by countless diners.
Classes are almost full all day long, and the private rooms here are generally some banquets for more than seven people, and the rooms are charged separately, and there is a minimum consumption.
Shopkeeper pinched his chin, looked at Ling Piaohan's bright eyes, squeezed out the signature warm smile on his face, threw the towel in his hand to his shoulder, bowed forward, and reached out to meet an empty table.
He smiled and said, "Little brother, I think you're alone, it's better to sit here, and it's convenient to greet you."
Ling Piaohan was already smart and clever, how could he not see the change in the expression of the shopkeeper, and he also chuckled at the corner of his mouth.
Raising the spirit storage ring in his hand, he released a trace of battle qi fluctuations, and on top of the ring, a thin layer of cyan fluctuations emerged, and then quickly disappeared.
It doesn't matter if he raises his hand, the shopkeeper's eyes immediately became complicated, first a trace of surprise, and then the corners of his mouth were slightly rounded, and he instantly understood something, and a flattering smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Oh, you see the villain's eyes are light, he doesn't know Taishan, the little brother is upstairs, please, the little one will take you to the private room to rest"
Ling Piaohan didn't say much, and walked slowly up to the second floor behind Xiao Er, the warmth and coldness of people in this mortal world, he had tasted it deeply when he was a child, and he was naturally not surprised by Xiao Er's change in attitude.
The décor on the second floor is noticeably more elaborate than on the first floor, with several individually separated private rooms giving an elegant feel, and small plaques hanging from the wooden doors.
Under the guidance of the shopkeeper, Ling Piaohan came to a private room by the bed, pushed the door in, the wooden door creaked open, and there was a small wooden screen in the small private room, and a landscape painting was outlined on the milky white light veil on the screen.
In the main hall was a round mahogany table with six or seven chairs neatly arranged, and further inside was a small wooden cabinet with freshly brewed tea.
The spout of the teapot still emits white smoke and exudes a delicate fragrance, and a wooden window is propped open with sticks, allowing sunlight to penetrate the room, and the street is bustling with people outside.
After Ling Piaohan took his seat, the shopkeeper was very discerning and poured water from the teapot, and then took out the menu and asked Ling Piaohan to order, he knew the identity of Ling Piaohan's cultivator, so he naturally would no longer doubt his economic strength.
"Sweet and sour fish, roasted foie gras with bamboo shoots, and a honey-sauce roasted duck... Ling Piaohan ordered seven or eight dishes in one go, and Xiao Er listened carefully on the side, taking notes on a piece of paper.
After ordering, Ling Piaohan instructed: "I don't like to be disturbed by heat when eating, after serving, remember to close the door well, no one else will pour tea."
"Okay, little brother, the little one knows, I'll urge you to go to the food, you rest first" The shopkeeper replied smartly, squeezing out a smile, and then flicked the towel on his arm to his shoulder, hunched over and walked out.
Hearing the squeaky sound of the door closing, Zi Nian popped out a small head on Ling Piaohan's neckline, and looked at no one around, and then he came out.
Zi Nian's small body jumped easily, jumped onto a chair beside Ling Piaohan, and said, "How did your elm head open today, it's hard to get out of the restaurant."
Ling Piaohan scratched his head: "Didn't there be so many things in the family some time ago, and there was no good chance for one, but recently I finally regained my calm, so I came out for a walk."
Zi Nian stretched his tiger back and muttered, "I really haven't eaten properly for a while, so I just tasted your food here today."
The two chatted without a word, and after a while, there was a knock at the door, Ling Piaohan hurriedly signaled the little tiger to hide first, and then responded: "Come in"
Entering the door was the shopkeeper who dragged a dinner plate, on which were several plates, and a large plate contained a roast goose that was golden and crispy as a whole.
The meat of the goose body is roasted in the hanging oven, and then fired in the pot with a secret sauce blended with honey, and a sweet smell comes to the nose, and the goose is wrapped in a layer of bright yellow tempting sauce, and the people who watch it swallow their saliva.
Another plate is filled with roasted foie gras, which are freshly bought from the market in the early morning, and the first half of the bamboo shoots are blanched and freshly slaughtered.
The umami flavor of the bamboo shoots just suppresses the fishy smell of the fresh foie gras, and at the same time, the soft glutinous and crispy bamboo shoots of the foie gras form a stark contrast, which once became the signature dish of this small shop.
Ling Piaohan smelled the burst of aroma from this dish, and he was also refreshed, no wonder there were so many customers in this small shop, it was really a bit of a doorway.
"Little brother, these two dishes are my family's signature dishes, I specially instructed the master to make them quickly, you taste them first, and I will slowly serve you the other dishes" The shopkeeper said while sending the two dishes to the round table.
Ling Piaohan waved his hand, and the shopkeeper walked out unintentionally, and Zi Nian jumped out from under the round table, obviously attracted by the aroma.
"Come on, come on, let's taste it" Ling Piaohan reached into the chopsticks holder, took out a pair of chopsticks and wanted to hand them to Zi Nian, but suddenly came back to his senses, Zi Nian's little paws couldn't use chopsticks.
"What about this, can you eat it directly?" Ling Piaohan smiled at Zi Nian in embarrassment.
Zi Nian glanced at Ling Piaohan and said, "That's not good, you feed me."
As soon as these words came out, Ling Piaohan was caught off guard, "Huh?
"Why can't you do it, you don't know how to take chopsticks, or do you feel that you have suffered a loss" Zi Nian's resentful voice came.
Ling Piaohan hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, my honor, my honor."
I have to say that this roast duck is really delicious, the duck meat is a little firm after being grilled, but after being grilled with sauce, the meat is loose again.
The texture is blended with the sweetness and sourness of the sauce, and with the unique sound of the grilling, it is really a memorable aftertaste.
But Ling Piaohan couldn't hit the manager and enjoyed the deliciousness, because every time he tasted it, he had to feed Zi Nian another bite.
Zi Nian was much more comfortable, half-lying on the chair, leaning forward, opening her mouth to greet the food.
"This foie gras is so delicious, I want to eat another piece" Zi Nian swallowed the dish in his mouth, tasted the mesmerizing taste, and said to Ling Piaohan.
Ling Piaohan responded: "Alone, can you bring me a single room, I like a quiet place"
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment when he heard this, Ling Piaohan's dress was just a very ordinary young man, although he was quite handsome.
