Just because the police officer is gone doesn't mean that no one is there anymore. The area where the tables are placed is separated with ropes, leaving exits and entrances, and is guarded by dedicated personnel.
Once the table is full, no one is allowed to enter. After that, when a person leaves, another person will be let in to avoid conflicts.
Of course some people were not happy at first. Why should I wait outside while others can go in and eat and drink?
But they watched the police officers enter the restaurant with their own eyes, so naturally they didn't dare to make a scene. Gradually, everyone got used to this rule.
Even those who come first will automatically tell the rules to those who come later, letting them wait in line here.
The food is neither rich nor varied, with four meat dishes, four vegetable dishes and two soups, all of which are simple to prepare and suitable for stir-frying in a large pot.
The only staple food is steamed buns, which are not made from pure wheat flour, but are made from a mixture of wheat flour and corn flour.
Several waiters patrolled with dining carts filled with dishes, refilling the dishes at any time.
The situation that Qin Yandao was worried about that some people were full and refused to leave also happened, but Chen Jingke had already taken countermeasures.
The waiter watching the venue will observe everyone in the venue, and if he finds someone who refuses to stay, he will take the initiative to persuade:
Sir, if you are tired, you can go to the market and rest for a while. It won't be too late to come back later.
Under normal circumstances, most people are too shameless to stay here any longer, and the few who are really shameless just let them go.
Don't be afraid if there are too many such scoundrels that affect the progress of the flow table. That's what the policemen in the house do, and there are ways to get them away.
People will not sympathize with such people and will only think that they have done a good job.
The thirty tables outside are used to entertain ordinary people. Some people with status and status disdain to sit here.
Chen Jingke and the others naturally took this into consideration and set up a banquet inside the restaurant to entertain them.
Moreover, there are more varieties of dishes inside, all kinds of signature dishes are put on the table, and the menu is even put up directly for customers to order.
As for how to determine their identity, it's very simple.
Those who wear silk can enter directly, but those who do not wear silk need to prove their identity, such as writing a poem to prove that they are a scholar.
It's not that Chen Jingke has to do anything, this is purely a business behavior.
Ordinary people are not rich and will not spend money in high-end restaurants.
Let them participate in the outdoor banquet, not because we expect them to come and spend money, but because we hope to spread the word about natural residence and cooking through their mouths.
The real customers of Tianranju are people who wear silk or scholars. Customers are God, so naturally we must entertain them well.
Even in order to attract readers to create topics, Chen Jingke also set two questions:
"If anyone can figure out the right couplet on the door, all meal expenses will be waived for a month."
"There is also a couplet in the lobby. If anyone can guess the right couplet, they will get free meals for life."
Anyone with a bit of knowledge will be unable to sit still when he hears this. If he comes up against this, not only can he eat for free, but he can also become famous.
But when they saw the couplets at the door, they were immediately dumbfounded.
I live in nature as a guest, but I am a guest in heaven.
It's a very standard palindrome pair. It's not difficult to match it by force. But the key is that this couplet and the name of the restaurant naturally correspond to each other, which is not easy to match.
Everyone was really stumped for a while.
I had no choice but to come inside and read the couplets that would be free for life.
Although they all knew that this couplet should be more difficult, they still felt frustrated when they actually saw it:
Smoke lock pond willow.
If they had some ideas about the couplets at the door, they had no clue about this.
These two couplets were naturally brought out by Chen Jingke. They were both widely circulated in previous lives, and there are many stories about them.
The most widely circulated version is related to Qianlong. In fact, it has little to do with him, at least there is no conclusive evidence to prove that it is related to him.
Chen Jingke named the restaurant "Tian Tian Ju" in order to create a topic by borrowing the couplet.
When a restaurant is associated with culture and elegance, you don't have to worry about whether the business is good or not.
As for what to do if someone comes out... don't worry at all. According to the regulations, the meal fee is free. Even if he eats with an open stomach, how much can he eat?
Compared to the fame it brings, this little money is nothing.
In a room upstairs, Yuchi Xunyu felt particularly happy when he saw a group of scholars who were stumped.
"Haha... These people think they are arrogant after reading a few more books. Today they finally know what it means to have a better world."
Qin Yandao said pertinently: "In fact, we can't blame them entirely. The two pairs of real people are really difficult. Even if a great scholar comes over for a while, it will be difficult to match them."
Yuchi Xunyu said: "I don't care, anyway, they are all stumped by my brother's pairing. If any scholar dares to show off in front of me in the future, I will use this pairing to hit them in the face."
Chen Jingke was quite speechless. He was a typical example of uneducated and incompetent. He had no merit except for his mediocre force value. His only advantage was that he was more loyal, which was very similar to Yu Chigong.
Seeing that the flowing water mat was on the right track, he was about to leave with the three of them. Before he could speak, he heard someone outside shouting:
"Waiter, why are there no fish meats? Your chef can't even cook such a simple dish, right?"
(According to research, during the Tang Dynasty, the shop waiter was called Dr. So-and-so. For the convenience of everyone’s reading, the more familiar ‘shop waiter’ is used here.)
A waiter replied: "I'm sorry, sir, but our store does not have any fish meat."
The guest became curious and said, "Why? Fish and dumplings are a famous dish, but you don't have them?"
The waiter at the shop said: "I heard that it is because eating fish and chestnuts is easy to get insect diseases. For the sake of the health of our customers, our restaurant does not serve fish and chestnuts, or any other dishes based on wildflowers."
The guest reprimanded: "That's nonsense. I eat the best fish and shrimps in my life, so why don't I get any insect diseases? Call your shopkeeper over, and I'd like to ask him where this rumor comes from."
"That's what I said." As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jingke opened the door and walked out.
"What are you..." The guest seemed to want to swear, but when he saw what Chen Jingke said, he immediately swallowed it back and changed his words: "It was Mr. Chen in front of him, so Zhao Guangzhi was so polite."
Others around him also stood up to salute, and Chen Jingke also returned the salute one by one.
The first batch of people who came to the restaurant to eat were almost all people who often went to Zixiao Temple to offer incense, so they naturally knew him.
After meeting Chen Jingke and the others, they confirmed that the restaurant was opened by Zixiaoguan, and they immediately expressed that they would come more often to support him in the future.
Chen Jingke naturally expressed his gratitude very politely.
At this time, Zhao Guangzhi's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly said: "Sir, do you really want to be infected with worms if you eat fish and meat?"
Chen Jingke said seriously: "Yes, those insects are originally parasitic on livestock, and they will also lay eggs in the meat. The eggs will be killed by high-temperature cooking, so it doesn't matter if you eat them."
"If eaten raw, the insect eggs will enter the human body, hatch and become parasitic in the human body... Not only eating fish and meat, but also drinking unboiled water in the wild can also easily get insect diseases."
"If possible, I hope everyone will not eat raw food... If you often eat fish and meat, I suggest you see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. It is best if you are not infected with parasitic diseases. If you are infected with parasitic diseases, you can treat them in time."
