Because they had never heard of the names of the dishes and had no idea what they were, they ordered a few dishes based on their feelings.
The waiter wrote down the name of the dish and said with a smile: "Wait a moment, you two."
There were only two of them in the restaurant, and the food was served very quickly. It didn't take long for the food to be served.
The waiter smiled and said: "The dishes are ready for you, please use them slowly."
When Lao Liu and Lao Li looked at the dishes on the table, they found that they were completely different from what they usually ate. The dishes they usually ate were either boiled or baked.
However, their dishes are neither boiled nor baked, and the appearance alone attracts the appetite.
They picked up their chopsticks and tasted the food. As soon as the food was in their mouth, they were stunned. It must be so delicious.
With such delicious food, no wonder other people’s food is so expensive.
The most important thing is that they can't tell what kind of meat it is. They think that the meat must be a very rare bird, and it should be sold at a high price.
They don't even know that the meat they eat is pork that they won't eat at all.
Lin Xuan specifically told him at the beginning that no one was allowed to tell anyone.
It's not that he wants to deceive people, but it takes some time to announce it after many people have eaten it.
After they got used to it, even if they knew it was pork, they couldn't resist the temptation of cooking.
After the two of them took a bite, they couldn't stop using their chopsticks. They didn't even bother to talk, they just focused on eating.
Lin Xuan smiled when he saw this scene. This was all what he expected. In a few days, when the reputation of Keyun Tower spreads, there will be an endless stream of people coming to eat every day.
During lunch time, only five tables were served in total.
Of course, there must be more than just these people coming to eat, but most people left after seeing the price, and only these five tables remained.
Some of them were angry, some were curious, but after eating the food, they were all full of praise.
Lin Xuan was very satisfied with the five tables. He was ready to go back after eating in the restaurant. He had nothing to worry about in the restaurant. It only needed a period of fermentation.
When Lin Xuan and Zhao Min said they wanted to go back, Zhao Min said sadly: "Sir, although the price is high, there are too few people and it's not profitable at all. Why not lower the price a little bit."
"No, Uncle Zhao, don't worry. In five days at most, the restaurant's traffic will be back to what it was before." Lin Xuan said with confidence.
Zhao Min didn't know where Lin Xuan's confidence came from, so he could only say: "Sir, if business doesn't improve in five days, then lower the price."
"Okay, if there is no improvement in five days, then restore the price you set before." Lin Xuan believes that time will prove everything.
…
However, Lin Xuan underestimated the charm of cooking. In just three days, Ke Yunlou was known to everyone in Chang'an.
During peak hours, there is a long queue at the entrance of the restaurant, making it difficult to get a seat.
Lin Xuan was a little surprised when he found out. He didn't expect stir-fry to be so popular in the Tang Dynasty.
Lin Xuan didn't know that the reason why the restaurant was doing well was because the cooking was delicious.
Another reason is that there were no vegetable greenhouses in the Tang Dynasty. In winter, except for a few places such as Lingnan, vegetables could grow due to weather conditions, while other places had no vegetables at all because of the cold.
The vegetables Lin Xuan ate before were all shipped from Lingnan through the Grand Canal.
As the weather got colder and colder, the Grand Canal began to freeze, and Chang'an began to run out of vegetables.
As for transporting by land, it was simply impossible. There were no cement roads at this time. They were all dirt roads. There was a lot of rain and snow in winter, and the land road was muddy and difficult to travel. The food was broken before it could be transported to Chang'an.
Otherwise, although the stir-fried dishes are novel, not so many people would eat them. Although their chef doesn't know how to stir-fry, his cooking skills are very good. Even if he cooks them, the taste will not be worse than that of Ke Yunlou.
They like to go to Ke Yunlou because although the chef at home is very good at cooking, he only cooks the same thing over and over again and gets tired of it long ago.
Although there are no vegetables in Keyunlou, there are many ways to cook meat.
Lin Xuan didn't know this. He was lying on a rocking chair in his yard at the moment. Chunyue and Yuhe were massaging his shoulders, which made him feel so happy.
Apart from going to the restaurant after the first day of business, he has been tinkering with the rocking chair at home these days.
He just made it today and tried it in the yard. It was very good.
Just when Lin Xuan was enjoying the massage from the two little girls and fell asleep, the concierge came in and reported, "Sir, there is a man named Cheng Chumo outside looking for you."
Why is he here? I haven't told him where my home is, so how does he know where he lives?
Lin Xuan came to the gate with doubts. When he saw Cheng Chumo, he said with a smile: "Haha, brother Chumo, I haven't seen you for a while. Come on, please come in."
"I went to your restaurant to look for you. Your shopkeeper said you hadn't been there for a few days, so I had no choice but to come to your home to look for you." Cheng Chumo said with a smile.
Lin Xuan had previously wondered how Cheng Chumo knew where his home was, so that was it.
Lin Xuan led Cheng Chumo directly to the courtyard where he lived.
After coming to the living room to sit down and letting Chun Yue serve tea, Lin Xuan asked with a smile: "I wonder what Brother Chu Mo wants from me?"
Cheng Chumo did not directly invite Lin Xuan to his home, but said: "Lin Xuan, do you still have the cigarettes from last time?"
When Lin Xuan heard that Cheng Chumo came to see him, he roughly guessed that he came for cigarettes, and now he heard that it was indeed the case.
"No more, I finished smoking it long ago." Lin Xuan shook his head quickly.
I only have a few packs left, but I can't give them to him, and I haven't been rewarded with cigarettes for signing in these days. Maybe these are my last cigarettes.
Talking about the sign-ins these days, Lin Xuan became very angry. In these three days of sign-ins, he was rewarded with a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a ballpoint pen, and a box of Durex.
Except for the ballpoint pen, which is somewhat useful, he doesn't know what the other uses are.
The most irritating thing is Durex. He has endured it very hard, and the system gives him Durex. Doesn't this force him to commit a crime?
"I know you still have some, so share some with me. I didn't smoke a few of the ones you gave me last time. My father took them all away." Cheng Chumo said with a depressed look on his face.
He was cautious, but was discovered by Cheng Yaojin. Not only did he lose his cigarette, but he was also beaten.
No, Cheng Yaojin finished smoking cigarettes and became addicted to cigarettes. He was forced to invite Lin Xuan to visit Cheng's house.
"No more, no more cigarettes." Anyone who wants to hit my cigarette has no chance.
When Lin Xuan saw what Cheng Chumo wanted to say, he quickly said: "The cigarette is gone, but I have other good things."
"What?" Cheng Chumo asked curiously.
Seeing that Cheng Chumo's attention was successfully diverted, Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Wait, I'll get it for you."
