Shen Ning chose the mandarin duck pot, spicy and mushroom soup.
I deliberately chose a seat near the door and by the window. The spicy hot pot taste was particularly overpowering and soon came out.
As soon as the food was taken out of the pot, before I could even fish it out, there was an exclamation from outside, "Oh my god, what does this smell like? It smells so good!"
"It seems like a newly opened restaurant. What, half a catty of vegetables for 20 yuan? What kind of shady store? Why don't you go grab it?"
"But it smells really good."
The overbearing taste and exclamation sounds quickly attracted a group of people, who started talking around the price list.
"You're lying, where do you get the vegetables in this winter?"
A waiter couldn't hold it back anymore and ran out with a plate of vegetables, "Come and take a look, what is this if it's not vegetables?"
"Wow, what a green vegetable."
"Oh my god, it's amazing. There are vegetables in winter."
As soon as the curtain was opened, the overbearing spicy hot pot smell became more intense, mixed with the aroma of meat and meatballs, stimulating the onlookers to swallow their saliva.
A few people who were not short of money immediately walked into the restaurant and came to the table with Shen Ning and others.
On one side was a pot of hot spicy red oil soup, and on the other side was chicken stewed in mushroom soup. Immediately, my eyes couldn't move.
"This is a fresh way to eat, what is it called?" Saliva secreted like crazy.
The shopkeeper quickly stood up and introduced, "This is called hot pot. It's our boss's own way of eating it. Would you like some, sir?"
"Come on, I must have one." He is not short of money!
So, the business for the first table was completed, and arrangements were made immediately. The guest asked: "Everything delicious is served, what vegetables are there?"
The waiter worked on five or six varieties, and the customer's eyes lit up, "Give them all to me."
"I'm sorry, our restaurant has regulations. Each table can only serve one pound of vegetables. There's really no more."
"I'm not short of money, so I'll give it all!"
"Yes, sir, you look like you are born with wealth. It's not that our restaurant doesn't want to supply it to you, but it's just that there are only a dozen kilograms of vegetables in total, and we really can't spare so much. If you've eaten well, come back tomorrow."
Green vegetables are a royal offering in the winter, and only the emperor is qualified to eat them.
Not to mention ordinary people, even high-ranking officials and dignitaries have no chance to eat. He was lucky today. "Okay, half a catty of chicken greens, half a catty of oats, and the rest can be left on your table."
It was almost dinner time, and after the first table was sold, two more tables were taken.
The stronger the smell wafts out, the more customers will be attracted.
Soon, the news that Yuanlai Restaurant had green vegetables spread like wildfire. Not to mention those who were passing by were attracted to it, and even those who were planning to go to other restaurants deliberately turned over.
Soon there were ten tables open, and the guys didn't even have time to fill their stomachs, so they started busy non-stop.
The more the charcoal stove is turned on, the richer the smell becomes. Suddenly the aroma spreads throughout the street, and more and more people gather.
The shopkeeper laughed so hard that his teeth showed, "Boss Shen, we only need a hundred kilograms of green vegetables for the opening today. Many tables have asked for more vegetables. It's not lunch time yet, and ten tables have been opened at once. I'm afraid there won't be enough vegetables. ah."
"The sale of green vegetables is strictly restricted, so the rules cannot be broken."
"How can we live there? One table has a pound of vegetables. If there are many people and there is no shortage of money, we can just open two tables."
"That's okay, the furnace fee is enough to cover the vegetables."
Shopkeeper, "..." The boss still knows how to scheme.
"By the way, there are still a lot of hungry people outside. When ordering, just remind the guests that they have enough to eat. Don't be extravagant or wasteful."
The shopkeeper looked surprised, but it didn't matter, "Okay."
Seeing the guests enjoying their feasts, each and every one of them was extravagant and wasteful, Shen Ning inexplicably thought of the northern border with thousands of miles of snow falling, drinking and eating meat here, what are they eating?
The first floor is the lobby, the second floor is the ordinary rooms, and the third floor is the VIP private room.
By lunch time, there were already more than 40 tables open.
The restaurant waiter didn't have much experience and couldn't cope with it at all, and even made mistakes while busy.
Fortunately, the guests enjoyed their meal and did not care about the wrong dish.
After all, it's not just ordinary people who can get vegetables in winter, so it's better to take it easy if you don't know the other party's way.
Shen Ning didn't act like a boss and took Zhu Qing to serve the dishes in the back kitchen.
The shopkeeper hurried in and said as if facing a formidable enemy: "Boss, the shopkeeper of Tianxiang Tower is here with the chef."
"What are they here for?"
"What else can you do? This is what this business is all about. You steal from me and I steal from you. The aroma of our hot pot has spread to the next street. Doesn't this attract people to come over and ask questions after ordering? .”
There are many famous people, and the same applies to opening a restaurant. Shen Ning told the shopkeeper to be careful.
The shopkeeper has been in this business for more than ten years and still has experience, but he is worried that the boss is a female and has no backers. What if he is punished by those who have backers?
But these are not things he can handle. Doing his job well will save his boss trouble.
Not long after he left the kitchen, he hurried out again and said, "Boss, chief, the eldest princess is coming to our restaurant."
Oh my god, this is so amazing, the aroma of hot pot actually attracts big shots.
Shen Ning mentioned opening a restaurant, and the eldest princess was concerned about her and said she could invest some money for fun.
Except for the people in Prince Jin's palace, almost no one knew that she was good at cooking. The eldest princess was afraid that she would cry if she lost her hemp. After all, it was not easy for a female generation to gain a foothold in the business world, let alone the notorious ex-wife of Prince Jin, so she wanted to spend some money. Have fun.
Shen Ning knew that she wanted to take care of him, but the more he used it, the less favor he would have.
She has confidence in her dishes, but as the shopkeeper said, if you want to gain a foothold in the capital city with many restaurants, you can't make a fortune by relying on good dishes. The most important thing is personal connections.
The eldest princess is not short of money, so don't drag her into muddy water.
According to the shopkeeper, the backer behind Tianxianglou is as hard as iron.
I went out to greet the eldest princess, but she had already walked into the inn and said, "Call your boss out!"
Shen Ning quickly apologized and smiled, "Isn't this coming?"
The eldest princess gave her an angry look and said, "It's quite hidden."
"I originally wanted to give it a surprise, but you discovered it first."
"I took Minyun across the house to find you, and then I found out that you own a restaurant."
Shen Ning took her and Min Yun to the third floor, "Come on, come on, I'll let you try something good today."
The purpose of opening a shop is to treat guests, so she thought about finding an opportunity to put a table to treat the eldest princess and the emperor's uncle.
After careful consideration, I decided to invite the emperor's uncle.
The two still cooperate, not to mention that he has been kind to me many times, so you can't avoid him just because he has some interest in you.
Not to mention being friends, at least you can't offend anyone.
It just so happened that the eldest princess came uninvited, so why not take this opportunity to treat us? "It's too boring to just have the three of us, so why not invite the emperor's uncle over and treat me as an apology?"
How could the eldest princess not understand what she was thinking, "Okay, I will ask someone to invite you."
Sit down and drink hot tea, "Have all the vegetables grown by King Pingnan been given to you?"
"No, I just gave away part of it."
The eldest princess received green vegetables from love. When she learned the price of her vegetables, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you know how much vegetables sell for outside?"
