CHAPTER XXV. Reopening 1

Previous Chapter

I had been preparing for the reopening day for a long time, and today I went out to the restaurant earlier than usual. When I arrived at the restaurant, all the staff were busy, and yesterday I had a day off, and I was wearing a new uniform, and the overall mental outlook was much better.

After greeting everyone, I went to the back kitchen to carefully check the dishes of the hot pot, as well as the kitchen utensils and charcoal that needed to be used. After looking at the soup bases prepared by the chefs, there are quite a lot of soup bases, including clear soup, chicken soup, beef bone soup, spicy, and spicy soup to choose from.

After everything is checked, it's time to start business. Uncle Zhong set off firecrackers outside the door and hung a new plaque with today's new dish "hot pot" written on it, and it will be sold at the right time; Chefs prepare breakfast ingredients in the kitchen; The juniors also wore uniform new uniforms to attract a steady stream of guests.

The most popular breakfast sales are rice rolls and porridge. It seems that you can put on some new products, let Chef Feng learn to make some dim sum and the like, just like drinking morning tea in modern times, such as shrimp dumplings, siu mai, radish cake, glutinous rice chicken, etc., so that guests can have more choices.

When the time came, many customers came to the restaurant one after another, all of whom came to eat new dishes. Because the hot pot is charcoal-burned, the air needs to be circulated, so each table is equipped with a small second person who is responsible for fanning. The hot pot has been boiled for a long time, and the soup is easy to dry, and Xiao Er saw it next to him and could add it to the guests in time.

At noon, a man in a black brocade dress came to the store, his black hair was tied up and he was wearing a fine black jade crown, and the same color belt around his waist was also a black jade pendant of the same color. The appearance is slender and tall, and the appearance is more handsome and chic, playing with the folding fan leisurely.

With a small guy by his side, he wore a dark blue short coat on his upper body and wide-waisted trousers of the same color on his lower body. After entering the door, the order was made by the small house, and I directly asked for a first-class box, ordered today's new dish hot pot, and asked for two bottles of the most expensive wine in the store.

Although there have been many guests in the restaurant, but from the temperament of a person, there is a strong force that stands out from the crowd, and this is the second one that makes me look at it differently. This man's status is not low, but he is also as low-key as the emperor, and it seems that he is all masters who pretend to be pigs and eat tigers!

After this man, another big man came. It was the emperor, who slowly walked into the store from the gate, still with the father-in-law Jia, who had come empty-handed before, but this time the father-in-law was carrying a brocade box in his hand, which made people more curious.

After Xiao Er saw them come in, he took them directly to a private room, and it happened to be next door to the man. The dishes ordered are the same as the ones next door, hot pot and two bottles of good wine.

Uncle Zhong had been watching the little two receive guests, and he had a few more glances at the man who had just been wearing an inky black brocade suit. When the emperor came, he also came forward to greet them, and then watched them enter the box, and after thinking for a moment, he came to the study and said to me:

"Miss, we just came to the restaurant, a man in black clothes, it seems to be General Zhao Ping, who only came back from winning a victory in the frontier a few days ago. Although he didn't specifically state his identity, do we need to show a little bit in the restaurant? ”

After listening to what Uncle Zhong said, I thought about it, today is the day of reopening, and I should also give some small gifts to the guests. But if you feel the gifts, the guests may not be able to look at them, and when I think back to the modern times, I think it is good to give a fruit plate to each table of guests, neutralize the taste, and relieve the greasy must-haves.

"Uncle Zhong, you ask the chefs to make some fruit bowls, send one to each table of guests, and cut about five kinds of fruits into each fruit bowl, the quantity is not too much, just look good with it. There is no need to treat General Zhao specifically, he probably hopes so. ”

"Okay, Miss, I see. And that Leng Gongzi also came, and his box was arranged in the room next to General Zhao. ”

After Uncle Zhong finished speaking, he went to the kitchen and instructed the cook. I could still see the guests coming from outside in the study, but what I didn't expect was that Uncle Zhong came in to tell me, which showed that he still respected me very much. Another unexpected thing is that the emperor actually came today, how do you feel that he seems to be very idle, how long has it been! I've been to the restaurant for the third time.

Huangfu didn't know Lingyu's thoughts here, and if he knew, he would probably burst into tears. Obviously, I retired from the court early today and wanted to come earlier, who knew that Su Yi'an had been nagging me for a long time, and I only came here at this point, so I have to settle accounts with him next time. But fortunately, there is no hurry, just in time for lunch, and then I will call the villain to give her a gift.

Today, I came here to order a new dish, hot pot, and as soon as I saw the name, I knew who researched it. I feel that the longer I know each other, the more different she will be, she is really a mysterious and lovely person, and people are addicted to it.

"Your Majesty, the black shadow has just come to report the information that General Zhao has also come to this restaurant, and it is in the box next door to us. He only brought a small servant with him, and his identity was not explained, do you think you need to let General Zhao come over to meet him? ”

"No, just treat it as an ordinary guest to eat, don't affect the restaurant, today's protagonist is not us."

"Okay, the slave knows."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Er knocked on the door, "Guest, your dishes are ready, can you come in and serve them now?" ”

"Yes, come in!" Father-in-law Jia opened the door and said to Xiao Er outside the door.

Xiao Er put the dishes on the table one after another, the bottom of the pot is already burning charcoal, add the hot soup base in the middle of the pot, and start to soak the ingredients when the soup base begins to boil. After Xiao Er demonstrated the operation method once, Gonggong Jia asked him to stand aside, personally gave the emperor shabu the ingredients, and called him again if necessary.

The private room next door served the food a little earlier, ordered a spicy soup base, and ordered all the ingredients. After Xiao Er demonstrated the operation method once, Zhao Ping was surprised when he looked at this series of operations, but he didn't show it, and he didn't let the little guy come to Shabu and eat it himself.

I dipped the sauce I had mixed and took my first bite. The first thing to eat is the meat, which I think is unusually delicious and delicious, and people can't help but eat a few more bites. Whether it is spicy or clear soup, the ingredients cooked in the hot pot are just right for everyone's taste, because this can be adjusted according to your preference, and you can cook for a longer time or a shorter time.

The emperor's performance was more obvious, and after eating a few bites, he felt that Jia's father-in-law's movements were too slow, so he directly did it himself. Gonggong Jia stood aside and was anxious, afraid of hurting the emperor, but he could only watch with a worried face.

At this moment, there was another knock on the door. "Hello guests! Today is the day of the reopening of our restaurant, so we have given everyone a fruit plate, can you let me in now? ”

After seeing the guests nodding in agreement, the little two in the box opened the door one after another. The taste was exuded all of a sudden, and the smell of different hot pot soup bases wafted in the air, and everyone's appetite was better, and they successively added a lot of ingredients, which was also a good way to spread the taste and stimulate the consumption of the guests.

After eating a stick of incense for about a while, the emperor put down his chopsticks and made up his mind to meet the villain. While thinking about what topic to talk to her about later, he instructed Xiao Er to call the person who studied hot pot to the box to have something to talk about here.

Sure enough, the villain came as he said. After letting Father-in-law Jia and Xiao Er stand outside the door and wait, they took out the congratulatory gift they had prepared yesterday, and there was a jade ruyi and a scroll in the gift box.

"This is my inscription to celebrate the reopening of your restaurant, thank you for accepting my proposal. And this jade Ruyi too, I hope you can laugh at it. ”

I was a little confused by the emperor's coherent movements, but in fact, his proposal was very beneficial to our restaurant, and we couldn't do that without giving him gifts. As a result, we are now given gifts in turn, and there is a feeling of flattery.
