Chapter 905 Jiangnan upstairs
After another half a month, the upstairs of the Ruyi Building was finally opened to the outside world, and it was not publicized to the outside world, only a sign was hung on the wall at the staircase, on which a poem was written: Who knows that there is no drunkenness in the south of the Yangtze River, and the spring breeze is ten miles of fragrance with a smile.
The sign hanging in the right side hall of the hall is: The people take food as the sky. The sign hanging in the left side hall of the hall is: jade bowl soup cake wrapped with silver wire. These two brands are easy to explain, one is a general meal, and the other is a thin-fingered pasta. So as soon as the sign on the second floor was hung out, everyone guessed that it was related to Jiangnan, could it be that the upstairs was eating Jiangnan food? If you look closely, there is a line of fine words on the sign, which reads: Please make a reservation for the private room on the second floor.
Everyone doesn't understand, how can you still make a reservation for a meal?
At the staircase there are two young men with beautiful looks and new clothes, with a smile on their faces, in the face of everyone's incomprehension, patient answers, the original private room on the second floor only has six tables a day, three tables at noon, three tables at night, limited supply, so you need to book in advance.
Some people think that Ruyi Lou likes to engage in this kind of gimmick to attract people's attention, but some people eat this set, they all want to see what the upstairs bottom is like, the first day has just opened, the six tables at noon and night are all gone, and the one who comes behind can only be booked for the next day.
The people who booked the upstairs private rooms were rich people, after all, the deposit required one or two silver, which was not something ordinary people could afford.
Upstairs, the private room is filled with a faint fragrance, the window is half-open, the breeze floats, it is refreshing, the young man sends a warm handkerchief to wipe his hands, and then hands a picture book, no need to report the name of the dish, the book is painted with each dish, and there is a detailed description.
This is a new thing for everyone, flipping through the booklet, looking at those dishes, feeling that any one is good, and some can't make up their minds, then Hou Ling's sharp-toothed young man has to give a little suggestion to facilitate the guests to make a choice.
Tea is the best cloud tea before the rain, washed by hot water, tumbling up and down in the celadon cup, fragrant, such tea is not to mention expensive, it is also very rare in the capital, money can not buy, but it can be drunk in Ruyi Building, and the natural tea fee is not cheap.
The word Jiangnan is written on the sign, that is, to eat Jiangnan cuisine, Shi Yingying grew up in Jiangnan since she was a child, and her family opened a restaurant, so she couldn't be more familiar with Jiangnan cuisine. During that period of time when she was eating and drinking, she also tasted Jiangnan cuisine from other restaurants, but it was not authentic, probably to cater to the taste of the local people, it had been changed beyond recognition, Shi Yingying was not ready to improve, she made the most authentic and authentic Jiangnan cuisine.
West Lake vinegar fish, Longjing shrimp, Hangju roast chicken, Langli white strips, dry fried bell, Nansan fresh, jasper and lettuce soup, called Hua chicken, Dongpo meat...... Each dish is catchy, famous and proven, in order not to be out of shape, some of the ingredients that can be transported over long distances are also transported from Jiangnan.
Jiangnan is famous for two things, one is food, the other is singing and dancing, how many dignitaries and nobles, literati and ink writers come all the way to Jiangnan, just want to eat Jiangnan food, watch Jiangnan song and dance, now, no longer have to travel thousands of miles to work, Shi Yingying combines the two, she wants to let diners not only feast their mouths, but also their eyes.
At first, the guests did not know, they were immersed in the food, full of praise for the dishes, suddenly heard the sound of silk and bamboo, the young man slowly rolled up the curtain covering the wall, revealing a huge window, everyone knew that there was a hole in the sky.
In the melodious music, the girl wearing Luo Yi moved slowly, covered with fine silk, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were charming, the summer shirt was light and thin, outlining a beautiful figure, a lotus picking song was lively and cheerful, the girls danced smartly, and raised their hands and feet with the beauty and aura of Jiangnan women, and the eyes of the diners were straight.
It is not uncommon to eat and listen to music and dance, but it is strange that the combination of dishes and singing and dancing is so perfect, as if you are in the scene, which brings people a very pleasant feeling.
After the song, the girls withdrew from everyone's sight one by one, and only a big lotus flower illuminated by the glass lamp was left on the empty field, and the faint red reflected the surrounding walls, which made people unsatisfied.
A meal out of a different mood, the guests only sighed that the time passed too fast, downstairs, immediately went to the counter to book the next time, a query to know, the appointment of the guests has been scheduled to ten days later, people are like this, the more tight the more sharpened the head to drill in, not to mention ten days later, even a month later, it is okay, according to the decision.
In this way, Ruyi Lou did not hype, the reputation of the upstairs has spread out, this time it is not for ordinary people, but for dignitaries, the wind of rich people is prevalent, you have been there, I naturally can not lag behind, all ran to Ruyi Lou to book, Mr. Accounts are soft.
The two side halls downstairs collect a lot of copper, throw it in the money box, although you can also listen to the sound, there is always no white money to look comfortable, Mr. Qin in the account room since he entered the Ruyi Building, or the first time to count so much silver, take the square tray to pack, a plate of plates up, put into the warehouse, every half an hour to go in and count, for fear that there is a shortage.
Luo San flipped through the thick reservation booklet and was overjoyed, all the names were money, but he was a little puzzled and asked Shi Yingying, "The owner, there are obviously five private rooms in our house, why are there only three rooms open at a time?" ”
Shi Yingying said: "Business can not be rushed, you have to come leisurely, scarce is expensive, the less you open, the more precious, the more guests are flocking to it, and then there is, open the door to do business, integrity first, the guests are booked, the knives in the world have to be left for others, but there are always some offended lords in this world, and the two rooms are also just in case." ”
Luo San said with admiration: "The owner is really exquisite, and he thinks thoughtfully. ”
Shi Yingying smiled: "No way, I followed my father to do business when I was a child, and I have to think about everything, I'm used to it." ”
Since the Ruyi Lou's private room began to do business, the first to bear the brunt of the impact is the Jin Ting Pavilion, accustomed to the Jin Ting Pavilion's splendor, the dignitaries prefer the fresh and elegant Ruyi Building, in Dongyue, the reading party is the top grade, that is, the family has money, but also want to donate a scholar's fame to add glory, for fear that others will say that they are full of copper smell of businessmen.
Jin Ting Pavilion prides itself on being a sunny spring and white snow, but the Jiangnan cuisine of Ruyi Lou is more sunny and white snow than them, which is very in line with the preferences of the vassal and elegant nobles, even if you come to Jin Ting Pavilion to eat, it is also three sentences that do not leave Ruyi Lou, and I like to compare the two.
The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and the business was indeed a little worse during this time, and the shopkeeper Feng's brows were twisted into pimples.
In Lin'an, no restaurant dares to argue with Jin Tingge, an outsider is so rampant, don't give them a little color to see, I really don't know what it means to be high and thick!
