Chapter Seventy-Eight: Dream Star (Part II)
In the most prosperous area of the city, there are dozens of tall and gorgeous hotels, a variety of shopping malls, and a variety of leisure and entertainment venues. Millions of people flock here every day from all over the world and even from other planets, making the city a famous shopping paradise for its affordability and variety.
Aside from the rest, take the "eat" section as an example, which is home to dozens of well-known restaurant chains in Yseras. In addition, this is a border area, and some restaurant groups in El Tavier can also set up their own branches here after paying a modest fee. It can be said that in this city, you can eat almost all the famous dishes and specialties of the two countries, Iselas and El Tavie, and so on, and even the most discerning gourmets will praise the city.
In this way, the city has added the reputation of a "food hub" to the title of a shopper's paradise.
With this name, some chefs with ancestral skills or exclusive secret recipe blending techniques have also rushed here. If you don't have the money, you can choose to work in those famous hotels and restaurants, as long as you have skills that others don't know, and this technology can bring guests to the hotel, you will get a good salary and a good salary. If you have some capital, you can also choose to open your own store, don't be afraid of the remote place is not in the bustling neighborhood, you know, one of the favorite things that those gourmets like to do is to shuttle through the back streets and alleys of the city, looking for those delicious foods they have not eaten.
Fat sister-in-law's private cuisine is such a small restaurant. The name is definitely unfamiliar to most people in the city, and even the people who live near the restaurant rarely visit the restaurant. The main reason is that this restaurant will refuse all customers who come to the door and want to eat? Yes, please make a reservation. And when the guest registers the reservation in front of the restaurant's light brain, he will be shocked to find that the time he has reserved has been scheduled for half a year.
And those names ranked in front of him are either the mayor of such and such a city, the executive of such and such a fleet, or the owner of such and such a firm, or the chairman of such and such a hotel...... It can be said that almost none of them are ordinary people.
Looking at the exaggerated price list of those dishes in the restaurant, ordinary people with a monthly income of less than 10,000 imperial gold yuan are afraid that they will be scared away on the spot.
According to people who have eaten at this restaurant, legend has it that several of the chefs at this restaurant were once the imperial chefs of a certain royal family, and the owner spent a lot of money to win them over. The secret condiment used in the restaurant is said to have been used by a royal chef family for hundreds of years, and once you taste it, you will never forget it. Legend......
Anyway, this small restaurant, which is only circulated among the upper echelons of Cuimengxing, and it is extremely difficult to eat a meal, is full of all kinds of mysteries, and it is even said that it has been rated as one of the top ten most mysterious places in Cuimengxing by a gossip website.
……
"Didn't you say to find someone? Why did you get here, could it be that you are hungry? ”
Aurelia looked at the restaurant in front of her, the small four-story building made it look so special among the dozens or hundreds of floors around it. The door number of the restaurant is very small, and the five words "Fat Sister-in-law's Private Dishes" are written crookedly, and it looks extremely old, and there is a lot of dust, and no one has seen anyone wipe it. The door of the restaurant was ajar, and there seemed to be no lights on inside, making it very dim. And to Aurelia's surprise, there was no receptionist at the door of the restaurant, it was as if it had already closed.
"Let's go, we're here anyway, let's go get something to eat first." Yun Yi said, and walked towards the restaurant.
Aurelia hurriedly caught up with him, and said unhappily: "You can't go anywhere if you want to eat, you have to come here, you look at how dirty the door is." Let's go, let's go, go to the hotel I just passed by, it's a big deal, I'm in for a treat. ”
Aurelia, who had just earned more than three million imperial gold dollars, seemed to be wealthy, but even if she wanted to bleed, Yun Yi didn't stop and still walked towards the restaurant.
With a pout, Aurelia looked unhappy and followed behind Yunyi like an angry little daughter-in-law.
As she followed Yun Yi into the ajar door of the small restaurant, Aurelia suddenly felt her eyes light up. It wasn't because she was surprised by what she saw, but it was so bright that it made Aurelia feel a little dizzy. After she looked closely, she was shocked to find that this hotel was so vulgar that all the floors, walls, ceilings, stairs, handrails, etc., were all made of pure gold.
Gold is a very abundant material in the universe, and it is a cheap metal that can be disposed of as garbage even if it is thrown on the side of the road.
However, it is said that before humans left the earth, this metal was an extremely precious metal, and was even pegged to currency. Now many people don't understand this behavior of the Earth government at that time, because after humans walked out of the earth, it didn't take long for dozens of asteroids to be discovered that were almost all made of pure gold, each weighing more than one million tons. When this discovery was brought back to Earth, it immediately caused the collapse of the global economy, the depreciation of all banknotes issued by all countries, the skyrocketing of prices, and the plummeting price of gold. Those who speculated in gold, opened gold companies, hoarded gold, and even jewellery companies that focused on gold jewelry were all declared bankrupt and closed down within a few days......
It was not until the United Earth Government urgently announced preparations for the opening of the United Earth Bank, and quickly issued new banknotes and reformulated new regulations, that the volatility gradually subsided. But because of this economic crisis, the entire earth's economy has been set back by hundreds of years. If it weren't for the newly discovered habitable planets and planets containing a large number of rare mineral deposits to stimulate the economy, I am afraid that the great space age would have delayed in time or even hundreds of years.
And now, someone would decorate the restaurant with such vulgar cheap metal, which has made Aurelia's dissatisfaction with the restaurant reach an extreme.
I said...... Boss, let's go. ”
Aurelia took Yunyi's arm and tiptoed into his ear. There were no guests on the first floor, but there were many waiters dressed in classical costumes, all of them lazy and didn't know what they were doing, and most of them focused their eyes on Aurelia and Yun Yi, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Since you're here, why don't you taste what it tastes like here?" After Yun Yi lowered his head and said this, he came to the reception desk of the restaurant.
The girl sitting at the front desk had long eyebrows and clear eyes, and when she saw Yun Yi, she immediately showed a sweet smile: "This gentleman, may I ask what is the number you booked?" ”
"Oh, I haven't booked, can you give me a reservation now?"
"Of course, please wait." After the waiter finished speaking, he opened the light brain in front of him, and then said to Yun Yi: "May I ask if you plan to book the nearest private room at will?" Do you still need a designated private room? ”
"I want heavenly words! Level! The first room! ”
After Yun Yi finished saying this word by word, the entire first floor was silent, as if everyone had stopped their movements at this moment. But after a second, those people were back to normal, what they were supposed to be doing, and no one looked at it. If it weren't for the fact that Yun Yi and Aurelia were far more observant than ordinary people, they wouldn't have been able to detect this at all.
"Please wait a minute, this business must be handled by our boss himself. Can you please take a break in the next room for two guests, our boss has some things to deal with, and will soon come back to receive two. ”
The waitress was still smiling sweetly, but behind her delicate eyes, there was an indescribable complexity.
After Yun Yi agreed, a waiter immediately stepped forward and took the two of them to a room deep on the first floor.
The room has a wooden floor, a low table in the middle, two cushions embroidered with green leaves and white lotus on both sides of the low table, and a small charcoal stove at the other end, which can be distinguished from the faint fragrance of the charcoal burning room. The surrounding area of the room is covered with ink and bamboo patterns, which looks very elegant.
"Please serve tea to the two of you right later."
After the waiter left, Aurelia immediately whispered, "Boss, it's weird here." ”
"Don't blame yourself for self-defeat, you should be in your own home, feel free, it's nothing." Yun Yi smiled and sat cross-legged on a cushion. Aurelia had no choice but to do the same, and sat down on another cushion.
After a while, an elegant girl with picturesque eyebrows, combed a round bun, and dressed in a wide ancient lady's costume walked in carrying a bamboo box, first crossed her hands on her chest and bowed to the two of them, then walked to the stove, took out a small purple pot from the box she brought, slowly poured the water contained in another large porcelain bottle into it, and then placed the small purple pot on top of the stove. Then, she took out a lot of small and delicate things from the box, including bamboo tubes, porcelain spoons, porcelain cups, wooden needles, small porcelain hammers and a bunch of other objects, laid them out one by one on the coffee table, and then took out an antique incense burner, lit a stick of incense and inserted it into it.
Aurelia stared intently at the woman's movements, and after a long time, she withdrew her gaze and said to Yun Yi, "This ...... It should be the most famous tea ceremony in the Zhao and Song Empires, right? ”
