Chapter 144: Dispute
Chapter 425: Dispute
Lin Zhaoxia is soft-hearted, the Lin family is her biological family, but she is willing to do her best to make things convenient if she wants and does what she can. But the root of people's inferiority is there, and I can give you benefits, but you can't come up and beg for it, have no face and no skin, and treat people as fools.
Lin Zhaoxia was a little impatient with such behavior.
She saw that every time she summoned Ma or a few children to the front yard, Lan Zhen followed, and followed, but this child was a little unable to see his identity.
According to Lin Zhaoxia, it is not difficult to find a well-off home for Lan Zhen, and the other party is willing to see how much face she has as a princess, and happily marry Lan Zhen home. But this child's words are more than her, and he has the intention of climbing the high door.
Lin Zhaoxia knew that many people outside said that she was a folk princess and was able to marry into the royal family, which gave many people hope, and always looked forward to a miracle and become the second her, so Lan Zhen also had this heart.
Listening to her, "I have been sent by my family to study for a few years since I was a child, and I have also learned the rules for a few years with the palace maid who retired from the palace", and these words are often on her lips, and she said over and over again, Lin Zhaoxia knows that this child has a big heart, and he is afraid that he will not look down on the idlers.
And Li and Mrs. Li also had this idea, so Lin Zhaoxia didn't want to persuade him, and he didn't plan to say more.
Even Ma's is less visible.
It's the middle of October, and it's getting colder.
The business of Huixianlou is still booming, but the weather is cold, and many of the dishes on the turntable are cold when they are served, and the taste is reduced a little when they are transferred to the diners, so Lin Zhaoxia thought about making some changes.
As a result, without waiting for her to make a change, Wanfulou made a change first.
Wanfulou has launched a buffet!
The big table that the Yingbin Building Wanfu Building will turn around by itself has sent countless people to observe and learn. But the kinetic device was hidden under the table, and it could not be lifted.
Ordinary businessmen, the welcome building Wanfu Lou has a backstage, and it will be lifted if it is lifted, but Prince Yue's platform, do you dare to lift it?
Even the king of Chu was frightened away by the king of Yue's 300,000 taels of silver.
If you want this kind of table, you either take 300,000 taels of technical fees, or wait for King Yue to return to the capital. When King Yue will return to his capital, it is not King Yue who has the final say. And 300,000 taels to buy a table?
It's hard to say if you can earn back 300,000 taels. No one has the courage to take 300,000 taels of silver to exchange for a table.
It's not stupid.
The money hasn't been so much that it's hot.
But man's power to imitate is limitless. The table couldn't turn, so I thought of something else.
The table in Huixian Lou that can move by itself is to put a bunch of dishes on the table and the guests choose by themselves, so that the guests have fun. So they don't have a moving table, can they let the guests have the experience of choosing their own dishes?
The two masters of the Welcome Building were busy checking and filling in the gaps and wiping their buttocks during this time, in case they were caught by the prince and the military department, and they were flawless, so that Wanfulou seized the opportunity.
Huixianlou is making money every day, and Wanfulou is so envious that his heart hurts. Day and night pondering how to make money.
So the Daqi version of the buffet came into being.
For a time, the guests were overflowing.
Lin Zhaoxia also went to eat and admired the ancients' ability to imitate.
Wanfulou has stood in the capital for many years, and has a deep background, and other chefs are not dry meals. Not to mention the taste of the dishes, in terms of the form of the buffet, it can be comparable to modern times.
Wanfulou learned from the Huixian Building, changed the first floor into a lobby, also built a platform, invited singers and dancers to play and sing, and removed the original tables and chairs, and placed a back-shaped platform on the inner side of the building, on which various dishes were placed, with clay pots, the weather was cold, there was a charcoal fire under the clay pot, there was a hot simmer, the fragrance of the dish was stimulated, hooking the taste buds of diners.
Business is booming.
For a time, a large part of the passenger flow of the fairy building was divided.
But Huixianlou also has a way to stay guests.
In addition to the rotating table, there are many dishes in Huixian Lou, which are delicious, and the dishes and themes are changed from time to time, so that guests can continue to have a sense of taste.
In addition, there are many small tricks in Huixian Building, not to mention the free tea in the queue from the door, even the snacks that are delivered, can not be found outside, and many people are still queuing up for the free snacks. In addition, there are those cultural and creative blind boxes, which attract diners to often come back.
Then there is a small dish at every table in Huixian Building, and the small dish cannot be found outside, and the fruit pot is sent after the meal, and the fruit is even rarer.
There are many customers who come for side dishes and fruit plates.
Previously, Emperor Zheng sent another word, "to meet friends with words, to friends and benevolence", but also to the capital of the head and face of the Confucian and gentlemen to blow up, Huixian Lou to these people and sent a jade card, called the VIP jade card, the holder of the dish can be discounted.
It also attracts readers to love to patronize.
It's not a question of money anymore, it's recognition, it's recognition of readers.
This is the face given by King Yue. What kind of person is King Yue, is the son of Emperor Zhizheng, the son of the first queen, what does King Yue represent, on behalf of the royal family. All of a sudden, the literati became more and more fond of drilling in the fairy building.
Readers don't like to talk about appetite, but can readers skip eating?
Of course, the reader wants to eat, and he is not a fairy, just eat flowers and drink dew, now there is such a face-giving restaurant, willing to raise the reader, of course the reader is willing to eat in the fairy building every day, and fall in love with the fairy building to eat.
The civil and military officials also fell in love with the Huixian Mansion for dinner.
Behind the welcome building is the king of Qin and Chu, and there is the prince behind the Wanfu building.
I thought I was going to find the King of Qin and the crown prince to conspire with them, of course, did the Yingbin Building have any news to inquire about the news and monitor the officials, I didn't dare to say it, but the civil and military officials were a little evasive.
Huixianlou is the king of Yue, so there is no need to shy away from it?
It's not that there is no need to avoid it, it's just that King Yue is a prince without an heir, what do you want to avoid, King Yue can turn the sky upside down.
There are many officials who hold this idea, and the dishes and drinks of Huixianlou are really good and unforgettable. There is no background behind several large restaurants in Beijing. It will also be able to make people feel at ease when they eat.
But since Wanfulou went to the buffet, the business of Huixian Lou has also been affected.
Lin Zhaoxia leaned on the railing on the fifth floor and looked at the lobby on the first floor.
Jiang Li stood behind her and watched with her. "Princess, now that the weather is cold, the guests on the first floor have asked if they can use the heat under the dishes."
Snuggling on hot air? Lin Zhaoxia immediately thought of the picture of the charcoal fire under the clay pot of the Wanfu Building buffet. Shaking his head, his eyes stared at the paper-shaped table on the first floor, "The dishes on the first floor of our house are small, so it's not good to have charcoal fire underneath." ”
It is not impossible to install it. It's just that now Lin Zhaoxia has a new idea.
Before she could speak, there was an argument at the counter on the first floor, and the two of them hurriedly looked at the ......
"It's Mr. Tang from Castle Peak Academy. Princess, the little one goes down and deals with it. Seeing that the guy couldn't handle it well, Jiang Li hurriedly said goodbye and went downstairs.
At the cashier on the first floor, Tang Shiqian held a bottle of wine and didn't let go, "You said that you can get a 20% discount with the jade card, but now you don't count, you have the intention to humiliate us and other scholars, and look down on us!" ”
A big hat was pressed down, and the guys were dumbfounded.
Tang Shiqian finally saved enough money for a bottle of wine, and today he came in a hurry, and he was reluctant to even go into the building for a meal, so he asked the guy for a bottle of wine as soon as he came, and he was about to leave after paying. I didn't want to be stopped, and I suddenly felt greatly humiliated.
The guy saw a lot of people around, and some couldn't resist, the prince and princess treated the scholars well, and no one gave those VIP jade medals, only to those great Confucians and gentlemen, and the guys didn't dare to offend people.
Try to reason: "Our jade brand is only for the dishes discounted, this drink is originally limited, there are many people who buy it, and it is also stipulated that you must consume a certain amount of money to be eligible to buy, and it is not discounted." ”
Those drinks are all imported from overseas, and they are the only ones who use this kind of glass bottle wine in the capital. They are all sold in limited quantities.
Drinks have to be discounted by 20%, so it's not cost-effective.
Originally, there were a lot of people who came to read these days, and everyone gave a 20% discount, which was already a lot less, and the wine was discounted by 20%, so that they could sell it at a high price outside, how could they make money in the building.
The building makes a lot of money, they get a lot of bonuses, and the guys are very protective of the business in the building.
"I don't care, when you gave the jade plate, it meant a 20% discount."
"It's a 20% discount on the dishes, excluding drinks."
The person who also held the jade plaque on the side also helped the guy explain, "Yes, maybe you forgot." ”
"I don't care, if I say that I will get a 20% discount, I will get an 80% discount. Backtracking is a villain's act! ”
Tang Shiqian stubbornly wrapped the bottle of wine in his coat and refused to put it down. He only had enough money in his purse for a bottle of wine, which he had saved for two months.
Because he delayed the checkout of the diners, blocked the door, and was unreasonable, he was criticized by the onlookers.
Tang Shiqian blushed with shame, and the self-esteem of the scholar made him want to hide his face and leave, but since the last time he came to the building with his friends to eat and tasted the wine, he has never forgotten it.
All the money I had saved for two months was used to buy wine.
was arguing, and a young man next to him squeezed up, "Mr. Tang, I helped him tie this bottle of wine." ”
Everyone looked, "Three horses." "Recognize people and say hello one after another.
The third princess Zhaojing's concubine Zhan Pingsheng was originally a doctor of teaching and training in the country, and later became a princess and was promoted to the sixth rank supervisor. Xu is a teacher of Mr. Xi, and Zhan saw Tang Shiqian's embarrassment and relieved him of the siege.
didn't want to take advantage of the horse's words before he spoke, but Tang Shiqian, who was originally holding the wine and refused to put it, didn't agree, and took out the bottle of wine from his arms and put it on the counter angrily, "I don't want it." "Turn around and leave.
Zhan Ma was a little at a loss, "Mr. Tang ......"
Tang Shiqian was about to squeeze through the crowd and go out, he didn't have any money, he just knew by himself, so clearly let people say that he wanted to give him wine, and if he wanted to collect it, he would clearly tell others that he had no money.
His self-esteem made him unbearable.
"Mr. Tang, stay and stay." Jiang Li arrived and grabbed his arm, Tang Shiqian turned his head, "Why are you dragging the old man, it's not like words, let go quickly." ”
"Stay and stay."
Jiang Li dragged him and refused to let go, first thanked everyone with a smile on his face, and persuaded the onlookers to disperse. He thanked Zhan Ma again, and asked the guy to take two bottles of liquor to him, "The old man of Zhan Ge likes my family's pure wine the most, and the small one borrows flowers to offer Buddha, and Lao Ma Ye sends it to the old man." ”
The horse refused to ask for it, and Jiang Li said: "This is what our princess meant." Said that the last court meeting, the old Zhan Ge helped our prince speak, the prince was grateful, I don't know how to express it, the old man of the pavilion is good wine, and the princess borrowed flowers to offer Buddha. ”
Occupy the horse and no longer refuse, this is the princess and princess to honor his old father, and it is not good to make decisions for his father, so he thanked and accepted.
After the horse left, Tang Shiqian was also leaving, and was dragged by Jiang Li, where did the scholars have the manpower to work from time to time, and the Tang Dynasty moved the capital to sixty people, that strength can be compared with Jiang Li in the prime of life?
"Why are you dragging me, it's not decent."
"Yes, yes, it's a small faux pas. Our prince and princess respect scholars the most, you see this inscription......"
The two looked up at the inscription of Emperor Zhizheng hanging above the counter, "Even the emperor praises our prince for treating scholars well." Fang Cai is a guy who is ignorant and offended Mr. Tang, please forgive me. ”
Tang Shiqian knew that the fault was not in the people's plans, but he couldn't lower his head.
"If you know your mistakes, you can correct them."
"Yes, yes, the little ones must teach them well."
Jiang Li took a bottle of wine from the counter, found another box, and put the bottle of wine that was held in Tang Shiqian's arms before into the box, "This is your wine, you take it well, so you can drink it next time." ”
Tang Shiqian seemed to be offended, his eyes widened, and he refused, "I don't want it." Don't humiliate me! "He still has the backbone of a scholar.
It's food that comes to him, and he doesn't want it. Very angry.
"Hey, Mr. Tang, it's our prince who asked you to send it. Didn't you leave a calligraphy treasure last time, our prince liked it tightly, and let people frame it, saying that in winter there will be a special calligraphy and painting exhibition in the building, and then the fairy building is afraid that the business will become more and more prosperous, what is it to send you two bottles of wine, or do you want to share the silver of the day? ”
Saying this, Tang Shiqian's heart was much more comfortable. "Just divide the money."
His eyes went to the box again, and he was reluctant, the bottle in which the shopkeeper contained the most expensive wine here, and he couldn't afford it for a year.
I want to refuse but I can't bear it.
Heaven and man fought, and pushed back the money pushed back by the shopkeeper, "That bottle is a gift from the building, and my bottle is still bought." "I don't talk about discounts, anyway, he just bought it at a 20% discount, and he didn't have more.
The purse is out of money.
"Yes, yes, the little one accepted it cheekily." thanked him, and respectfully sent Tang Shiqian out of the door.
Seeing that he was reluctant to hire a carriage, and he was reluctant to pay for a sedan chair, he shook his head, sighed, and went back to the building.
When he got to the fifth floor, when he talked to Lin Zhaoxia, Lin Zhaoxia was also embarrassed.
This Tang Shiqian, a real poor peasant family, has excellent knowledge, and at the age of twenty, he became a Jinshi, but he has no money to open the way, he can't be sent to an official, and he can't do a good job.
At first, he stayed in the Guozijian for more than ten years, and then because of his stubbornness, his temper was stinky, and he couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes, most of the Guozijian were sent to the gold by the children of high-ranking officials and nobles, and he offended people in it, so he resigned angrily.
I didn't go back to my hometown, I don't know if I was thinking about the future of my heirs or I didn't have the money to return to my hometown, so I went to Qingshan Academy in the suburbs of Beijing to become a gentleman.
Although his identity is inconspicuous among the many Confucian gentlemen in the capital, he is really a learned person, and he writes well and draws well. Over the years, he has been quite famous in the capital, and he is quite respected among the students.
The two talked about the dispute downstairs, and also talked about the three horses to relieve the siege and give him liquor, and the words were put aside. Then he talked about the future business of the restaurant and Lin Zhaoxia's thoughts......
