Chapter 154: Don’t let down the fine wine and delicious food
"I know, cousin!"
Wenxi nodded, with a learned expression on his face.
The brother and sister chatted briefly for a while, and Wenxi went directly back to his fabric shop.
Zhou Peirong, on the other hand, was sitting alone in the study, quietly thinking about what to do next.
The porcelain-themed auction will take some more time to prepare.
During this time, he didn't come up with any new ideas.
But he was still a little unwilling to be content with the status quo.
After thinking about it, Zhou Peirong's eyes lit up and he suddenly had an idea.
Recently, many people have come to Shu County!
These people are like fresh leeks with dew on them!
If you don’t make some money from these people, you would be really sorry for yourself!
However, the situation of these people is quite special.
Most of them came to Shu County for the porcelain-themed auction.
It is naturally impossible to make a lot of money from them.
But if he can earn some scraps of money, Zhou Peirong naturally doesn't want to miss it.
As for how to make money from those people...
Zhou Peirong said that it is not difficult to complete such a small thing, right?
After several days of preparation, Zhou Peirong announced in a high profile that he would open five more new-style restaurants and several new-style inns.
Once the news spread, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Needless to say, I am a native of Shu County.
Ordinary people in Shu County regard hot pot and barbecue as classics, and they can't put down the dishes created by Zhou Peirong.
And those high-ranking officials, or merchants and gentry, were fascinated by Zhou Peirong's Zhuangyuan Building.
With these good examples in front of them, the people of Shu County have reason to believe that the restaurant opened by Zhou Peirong will never disappoint them.
And those merchants and travelers who came to Shu County recently have also been famous for Zhou Peirong for a long time.
In addition, some of them also ate at Zhou Peirong's restaurant.
They naturally know the taste of those dishes.
So when they heard that Zhou Peirong was going to open a new restaurant, the interest of these customers was immediately piqued.
Amid people's eager expectations, Zhou Peirong's new restaurant has finally opened.
"Where are you going to eat these meals today?"
"Of course it's Boss Zhou Peirong's new-style restaurant!"
"Let's go, go together, go together!"
All over Shu County, there were businessmen calling their friends, traveling together, and rushing towards their desired destinations.
Near the Shu County Sheriff's Mansion, Zhou Peirong's new-style restaurant main store, Zhou Peirong was smiling and welcoming the guests who came to cheer.
After the guests had almost arrived, Zhou Peirong slowly walked upstairs and came to the platform that had been reserved for a long time on the second floor.
"Here, thank you for coming to support me! Zhou Peirong, thank you in advance!"
Zhou Peirong hugged the guests and said hello to them.
The guests were also very considerate to Zhou Peirong. They stood up one after another and clenched their fists in return.
After the interaction, Zhou Peirong smiled and spoke again.
"As you can see, the name of my new style restaurant is Twenty-Four Solar Terms Pavilion!"
"Twenty-Four Solar Terms Pavilion, as the name suggests, is a restaurant with the theme of the twenty-four solar terms."
"And these twenty-four solar terms..."
Next, Zhou Peirong first introduced the traditional twenty-four solar terms.
Afterwards, Zhou Peirong introduced the delicacies related to the twenty-four solar terms one by one.
There are many types of delicacies related to the twenty-four solar terms.
Of course it was impossible for Zhou Peirong to reproduce everything, but he only reproduced some of the most famous delicacies.
For example, spring rolls are eaten at the beginning of spring, spring pancakes, spring vegetables, glutinous rice balls, radishes, donkey rolls are eaten at the spring equinox, and green dumplings are eaten at the Qingming Festival, etc.
These delicacies can be said to have their own characteristics, and each one is unique.
The most important thing is that these dishes have a strong cultural flavor and can also convey some special emotions.
No!
Zhou Peirong had just finished introducing these delicacies, and some literati started to discuss them with great interest.
“I really didn’t expect that various solar terms are related to so many delicious foods.”
"Yes! Boss Zhou is really a genius, he can think of so many things."
"If possible, I want to learn a few tricks from Boss Zhou. I don't expect to be able to perfectly reproduce these delicacies, but at least during the Qingming Festival, I want to serve Qingtuan to my ancestors!"
Zhou Peirong was not in a hurry to interrupt these people's discussion.
It was not until the enthusiasm of these guests subsided that Zhou Peirong clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention to him.
"Everyone, I have pretty much said what needs to be said."
"Then it's time for you all to enjoy the delicious food."
"But before we start tasting the delicious food, I have a little bonus for everyone!"
Zhou Peirong said cheerfully and waved behind him.
Soon, someone delivered a small box to Zhou Peirong.
"Everyone, what I have in this little box are the tickets for the lottery later!"
"After you enjoy the delicious food, you can go to the counter to draw a prize."
"I have prepared three types of prizes for you. They are several experience tickets for the new-style inn under my name Zhou Peirong, several customized banquet tables in my Zhuangyuan Building, and several tickets for the porcelain-themed auction!"
"The number of prizes is limited. Whether you can get it or not depends on your luck!"
As soon as these words were said, the guests present immediately became excited.
They had thought that Zhou Peirong would organize activities, but they did not expect that Zhou Peirong's activities would be so intense!
The two prizes, the experience coupon for the new style inn and the customized banquet at Zhuangyuan Building, are not very attractive.
But the tickets to the porcelain-themed auction firmly touched the hearts of all the guests.
Almost all the guests present hoped that they would be lucky enough to get a ticket for the auction.
However, even though the guests were very anxious and wanted to go to the lottery early.
But when the guests began to enjoy the food, they quickly calmed down.
"You can't live up to the fine wine and delicious food. Boss Zhou is so right! So next, we must not have distracting thoughts and enjoy the delicious food created by Boss Zhou!"
At a certain position, a guest gave instructions to his friend, and then tasted the food in front of him with a serious look on his face.
Similar situations can be seen everywhere in the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Pavilion!
Taking in all this, Zhou Peirong also had a happy smile on his lips.
