Chapter 30: Two private rooms
On the third floor of Juxian Building, in the private room where the squire is located.
"This Huadiao donkey meat is really delicious, and I can't make this taste with donkey meat I eat elsewhere!"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Have you seen the wine of this Juxian Building elsewhere? ”
"This is also true, even this wine, he sells it for ten taels of silver and I will buy it too!"
"Ten taels of silver? You think too much, I just asked the price, this wine is thirty taels of silver a jar. ”
"Then I want it too! Such a good wine, thirty taels is worth it! ”
"I've heard that Juxian Mansion is going to launch fifty taels of wine for a while! You old drunkard don't you try it? ”
"The things in this Juxian Building are really unusual, how high the price is and the quality can really keep up! Unlike those restaurants outside, just because the price is expensive, the wine is not much better! ”
"That's it! Compared to the fine wine in this Juxian Building, the things sold in those wineries and restaurants are as bland as water......"
When the main dish came up, the squires who drank two more glasses couldn't hold it anymore, and they praised the things of the fairy building vigorously, and said how bad the wine and food of other restaurants were. After just drinking a round, these people seem to have only Juxian Lou in their eyes, and there are no other restaurants.
Naturally, everyone will not know that the waiter waiting at the door is silently remembering everyone's comments, and will also feedback these situations to the shopkeeper.
Not to mention the people in Liyuan, when they heard Zhou Yu say that these dishes were made according to the specifications of Yuwangfu, they didn't dare to put down their chopsticks.
Zhou Yu saw that everyone looked reserved, so he could only personally clip a piece of steamed mandarin fish to He Shuiling. Why did you clip it to He Shuiling? The people in the troupe didn't dare to eat it, and they definitely didn't dare to eat the food he served, so he could only clip it to He Shuiling.
I don't know if it's because I played from childhood to adulthood, Zhou Yu served vegetables to He Shuiling, He Shuiling was not embarrassed, but felt more cordial.
Seeing that He Shuiling had already eaten deliciously, everyone moved their chopsticks one after another to taste the food of this palace.
"Brother Xiao Yu, you work here, how much is your salary for a month?" He Shuiling asked.
"This kind of work of running the hall is now five dollars a month, and when the business of the restaurant is slowly on the right track, the shopkeeper said that everyone's monthly money has doubled, and if you do a good job, maybe there will be a reward!" Zhou Yu scooped a spoonful of steamed eggs and said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped their chopsticks and looked at Zhou Yu in unison.
Before Zhou Yu's spoonful of steamed eggs was fed into his mouth, he was frightened by everyone's gaze.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yu put down the spoon and asked.
"Brother Xiao Yu, the guys in other restaurants can only have two dollars of silver a month, and the most is only three or four dollars, your restaurant will give five dollars of silver at the beginning, and it will be doubled later, so that other restaurants will not be allowed to live?" He Shuiling asked with a smile.
Even the head of the Wang class couldn't help but ask: "Little brother, why does this Juxian Building give you such a high salary?" I think you guys here have a dozen or twenty, how much food do you have to sell to make all this money back? ”
After listening to this, Zhou Yu replied unhurriedly: "You don't know, our shopkeeper said that we want to build our Juxian Building into the most upscale and luxurious restaurant in Luozhou City, so the price of this wine and food is much higher than that of ordinary restaurants." Take the cup of wine in your hand, Master Wang, for example, such a jar of wine will be sold for thirty taels of silver. ”
"What?!" Wang hurriedly put the wine glass back on the table.
"Don't worry about the master of the royal class, you don't have to give money no matter how much you drink, His Royal Highness King Yu said, your accounts are all counted in the accounts of the palace, this is not cheap!" After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he took the opportunity to send the spoonful of tender steamed eggs into his mouth.
"Brother Xiao Yu, do you know His Royal Highness King Yu?" He Shuiling asked a question that the head of the Wang class also wanted to ask.
"I know, King Yu is one of the owners of our restaurant, if you don't know him, you can't be a buddy and leave?" Zhou Yu continued to eat the food, and said at the same time: "Don't you think His Royal Highness King Yu's mind is not enough?" ”
As soon as they heard this, everyone's faces immediately changed. Yes, King Yu kindly entertained them with such expensive delicacies from the mountains and seas, and if he didn't eat it, it would be too bad for King Yu to save face. So everyone began to pick up the chopsticks again, and Zhou Yu couldn't help but shake his head when he saw that they were so troublesome to eat.
But He Shuiling, who is quick-witted, and Wang, who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, still feel that Zhou Yu is a little different from the average shopkeeper, he is really too calm, as if King Yu is just like this in his eyes.
But doubts are doubts, Zhou Yu only said that he was the second shopkeeper, and the two of them didn't want to ask much. The fact that the guy in Juxian Lou is not called Xiao Er but the waiter has not yet spread, so everyone still calls the guy in the restaurant Xiao Er by default.
In fact, if He Shuiling and Wang Ban Master could listen more carefully when Zhou Yu was talking, they would find that Zhou Yu had never clearly said that he was the second child of Juxian Building.
It's a pity that there is no if, the group of people continued to eat the dishes, and the two who saw some clues did not further explore Zhou Yu's identity.
The people in the two private rooms were eating on the third floor, and the kitchen where they cooked was also lively.
"Erniu, have the ribs been cut? Brother Xiao Yu said, the private room in the pear orchard wants a sweet and sour pork ribs! Wang Yu heated the pot and urged Li Erniu to say.
"Senior brother, the ribs are all cut, and I put them in the basin next to me!" Li Erniu came to the back kitchen of the restaurant today to help chop vegetables, and after a morning, he almost never rested.
Wouldn't Wang Yu and Liang Hui and others cut vegetables? Of course not, they just wanted to embarrass this new junior brother and establish their prestige as a senior brother. In addition, it is to satisfy the strange desire in your heart to be competitive.
"Erniu, how is the minced meat cut, the soup of boiling water cabbage has already been boiled, just waiting for you!" Liang Hui began to urge him again.
"It's coming, brother! Here's the minced meat, you see. Li Erniu put the minced meat into the bowl and immediately brought it to Liang Hui.
Before he could turn around, Xu Li handed over another piece of lean pork.
"Cut the loin here, Brother Xiao Yu said that the loin should also be sent to the people in the pear orchard."
"Okay!" Li Erniu took the tenderloin and cut it immediately.
Beads of sweat ran down his head, and he carefully wiped his forehead with the back of his hand to prevent the sweat from dripping onto the cutting board; As for the sweat behind him, he didn't have time to care about it at all. Erniu is simple, he would not have thought that his senior brother would use himself to establish authority. On the contrary, he thought that it was because of the trust of his senior brothers in him that he entrusted so many tasks of cutting vegetables to him. So even though he was tired, he didn't complain a word, just worked hard in silence.
"Erniu, look at this ribs, several pieces are cut unevenly, pay attention to it in the future!" Huang Yousheng brought the ribs and said.
If Zhou Yu was at the scene, he would definitely scold Huang Yousheng for being bloody, whose ribs can be cut into the same piece? This is purely a bone in the egg, and it is normal for the cut ribs to be different in size, unless the pig is mutated, so that the ribs can be cut into the same piece.
Li Erniu didn't dare to think so, he listened to whatever his senior brother said, and came completely with an attitude of humbly seeking advice, but unfortunately his senior brothers didn't mean to teach him anything.
Private room on the third floor.
I heard the shopkeeper of this Juxian Building say that this Juxian Building is the best restaurant in Luozhou, and the price of this dish is precious! Zhang Yuanwai took another sip of wine and said, this high level of wine was very suitable for his appetite.
"People are expensive, first, His Royal Highness King Yu is the owner of this Juxian Building, I heard that many of these dishes are from the palace, and for fame, people have to sell them more expensive. Second, none of people's wine and food are shoddy, although they are expensive, but they are worth the money! Third, if you look at the guys in this store, as soon as you enter the door, several girls greet you with smiling faces, and you feel happy when you look at them; Then there was a warm greeting from Xiao Er, who just sat down and came up with a drink, so there was no need for you to wait at all. Except for the kid who seems to have had a holiday with Lao Liu, tell me which other restaurant can you compare? "Zhao Yuanwai told the story of this Juxian Building.
"Lao Zhao is right, my future family banquet and friend banquet will be held in this Juxian Building, I can't look down on other restaurants!" Qian Yuanwai stroked his beard and said.
"Don't say it, I just inquired, this Juxian Building has a lobby, and what kind of booths are there, and the best is a private room like ours. Different seats can be arranged for different occasions, and I want to invite the jewelry merchants of Jinju to dinner and discuss business in two days, I think this booth is very suitable! There is both grade and atmosphere, this Juxian Building really understands me so well! Ding Yuanwai also nodded with satisfaction.
"I see you, sooner or later, you will have to eat up all your wealth in this Juxian Tower!" Wu Yuanwai teased.
"Hahahaha......" everyone's hearty laughter came, and then they raised their glasses and touched each other, as if this Juxian Building was the last piece of the puzzle for their future good life.
At the same time, another private room.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is another specialty of our restaurant, sweet and sour pork ribs and sweet and sour tenderloin. Personally, I think the taste is still good, I don't know if you can get used to it? Zhou Yu took the lead in picking up a piece of ribs and began to gnaw on it.
"We don't even know how many bitter wild vegetables we have eaten, so how can we dislike the deliciousness of these big fish and meat?" A dancer immediately picked up a piece of ribs and said, after getting along with Zhou Yu, they are no longer so restrained.
"What if I told you it was pork?" Zhou Yu put down his chopsticks and said with a smile.
"Pork? If my dad had a bowl of pork to eat, he wouldn't have starved to death......" Another dancer also took a piece of ribs and nibbled on it.
Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that in the hearts of this group of weathered people, there is no distinction between high and low animal meat, and the promotion of pork is relatively smooth.
"Brother Xiao Yu, your Juxian Mansion is really amazing, it's the first time I've seen someone who can make pork so delicious!" He Shuiling tasted a piece of tenderloin and said.
"Shui Ling has also eaten pork before?" Zhou Yu asked curiously.
"I've eaten it, but it's fishy before, and it's not much worse than mutton, and it's definitely not as good as the taste of this sweet and sour loin!" He Shuiling replied.
"If it's delicious, eat more......" Zhou Yu sandwiched a piece of tenderloin and pork ribs for her respectively.
Unlike the wealthy squires, the people of the pear orchard did not have so much leisure time, and after eating, a group of people immediately prepared to rush back to Goolan.
"Brother Xiao Yu, you have to take care of yourself, we are destined to see you again!" He Shuiling turned her head and said to Zhou Yu with a smile. The rivers and lakes are far away, and goodbye is a common phrase among people in the rivers and lakes.
The beauty looked back and smiled, and that smile was immediately imprinted into Zhou Yu's mind. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't seem to say anything, just smiled back and waved his hand goodbye.
Separation is always wrapped in sorrow, yes, goodbye when you have fate......
……
"Lao Zhang, I think you are a little interesting to the girl who led the dance in Liyuan?" Wu Yuanwai touched Zhang Yuanwai with his elbow and said.
"I'll tell you the truth, that girl looks really smart, my second lady just passed away a while ago, and it's time to renew the room." Zhang Yuanwai said with a smile.
"But that girl's eyes are a little different when she looks at the kid who splashes old Liu Shui, maybe people have a place to belong!" Wu Yuanwai deliberately teased.
"What does he compare to me? That girl is really married to him, and he can't stand it, and sooner or later he will be robbed. Instead of that, you might as well marry me! Zhang Yuanwai didn't take Zhou Yu in his eyes at all.
"Look at it, this person is so bad, even other people's daughters-in-law dare to worry about it, can't this great literary law control you?"
Everyone laughed.
