Chapter 505: each have their own ghosts
Chapter 505 Each has a ghost
In the pavilion, Concubine Yue Guifei was ordering food with Lin Jinqian, Tang Ru and his wife, and Tang Yuanxi holding a strange-looking cookbook.
Lin Jinqian stared at the strange patterns on the menu and began to criticize: "What is this fish head with chopped peppers? How can a restaurant have such a vulgar name."
Then he kept flipping through the recipes, pointing at the messy-looking pattern, and kept complaining: "What is spicy shredded chicken, what is lamb with toothpicks, and this fresh pepper Shunfeng turbot fish has such an ugly name. , and five taels of silver, it's simply stealing."
Sang Kun frowned while listening.
Reluctantly, she is a high-ranking princess, so he had no choice but to patiently explain: "Princess, fish meat is the restaurant's specialty. Even the smallest piece of ordinary fresh fish costs three to four hundred cash. This turbot is a sea fish. It is not easy to catch, so naturally it is more expensive than ordinary vegetables."
Paused, he replied cautiously: "Even if the princess wants to eat today, the more than 20 turbots sent by Haikang County have been sold out, and I can't send them to the princess."
"What, the princess came to your restaurant, and you said that this dish is gone?"
Lin Jinqian was furious immediately.
"Caomin didn't know you were here"
The anger in Sang Kun's heart surged upwards, and Tang Ru lost his patience. He put away the recipes in the hands of several people, and interrupted him with a stiff smile: "Don't mind the shopkeeper, Your Highness is just asking casually, please. The big shopkeeper just prepare some good dishes that the restaurant is good at."
Yue Guifei stared at the crowd calmly and did not answer, since this wayward princess wants to make trouble, let her do it.
Anyway, now that she has leaned on the big tree of the King of Nandu, she can make friends with the old ministers of Jingling City. As for the Tang family, she no longer has any hopes, and she neither pleases nor offends.
Lin Jinqian glared at Tang Ru reluctantly, grabbed the recipe and threw it on the table, and said loudly, "Then serve all the dishes on the recipe for this princess."
"This"
Sang Kun immediately turned cold.
Chu Nanzhi came out of the other courtyard, just when she heard Lin Jinqian's complaints, the handymen who led the dishes walked forward with a half-smile, and said solemnly:
"It's easy to say, I have a total of eighty-eight dishes on this menu. In addition to the twelve dishes that are sold out today, there are more than seventy dishes. It stands to reason that the imperial concubine, the emperor's uncle and the princess are here. I shouldn't be stingy. Not to mention these eighty-eight dishes, even if it is another eighty-eight dishes, I would be willing to do so.
But now that the drought in Pingning Prefecture has just passed, the people in many places can’t even eat enough food. The princess’s daughter may not have had a hard time, but the slave’s family grew up in the village and knows what it’s like to not be able to eat. As a woman who opens the door to do business, she should be considerate of the people's sentiments. Even if His Majesty is here today, the rules of the restaurant cannot be changed. It is not a problem to order as many dishes as possible, but extravagance and waste must not be allowed. "
After finishing speaking, she purposely looked at everyone. Except for Lin Tingyan and Lin Tingkai who were not present, there was another new face. She immediately guessed that the graceful and luxurious jasper woman next to Tang Ru was the much-loved Princess Qian.
Lin Jinqian was speechless by what she said directly.
This woman didn't follow the routine at all. She didn't ask herself for money, but she came up with such a high-sounding reason, which is embarrassing.
Indeed, because of the drought in various parts of the south, His Majesty and the Empress Dowager are tight in the palace. Even if she is favored again, she can spend Tang Muyi, which was rewarded by His Majesty, how dare she be so willful.
Guilty glanced at the husband beside him. Tang Ru had a gloomy expression on his face, apparently unwilling to pay for the rhetoric he let go, so he could only ask calmly with a bitter face, "Are you Princess Pingning?"
"Exactly."
Chu Nanzhi replied neither humble nor overbearing, and ordered people to put the prepared salmon and sauce on the table, and gestured: "This big salmon was just sent by fishermen in Haikang County a few days ago, just please concubine Yue Gui and Everyone, try it out."
"Sashimi?"
Concubine Yue Gui couldn't help but frowned: "Is this something edible?"
"Of course, you might as well give it a try."
Chu Nanzhi personally picked up a sliced fish fillet, dipped it in the sauce, put it on the plate in front of Concubine Yue, and asked her to taste it.
Concubine Yue carefully inspected Tang Ru and his wife, and fed the fish fillet into her mouth. At first, a cool and pungent taste came into her mouth. It has a taste, which is endless aftertaste.
"it is good"
Concubine Yue Guifei hesitated for a while, ignoring the Tang family, and replied pertinently: "It is indeed delicious."
After saying that, I hurriedly picked up a piece of fish fillet and dipped it in the sauce, and ate it with relish.
Brothers and sisters Tang Ru and Tang Yuanxi also imitated her and tried a slice after seeing this. Tang Ru, who was used to delicacies from mountains and seas, couldn't put it down directly, showing an extremely intoxicated expression.
Looking at Concubine Yue and her husband, brother and sister, looking so useless, Lin Jinqian angrily picked up a fish fillet, dipped it in the sauce and fed it into his mouth.
After that, he fell silent and stopped talking.
This is indeed a very novel and bold way of eating. Although she never eats raw food, this unique sauce gives people a spiritual impact that has never been seen before.
Really—delicious.
"What do you guys think?"
Chu Nanzhi asked meaningfully.
"It's not bad."
Tang Ru took advantage of the situation and ordered Sang Kun again: "Then let the shopkeeper Lao prepare some special dishes and serve them."
Seeing that Princess Qian did not make things difficult again, Sang Kun left in peace.
At this moment, Lin Tingkai and Lin Tingyan, who were visiting the garden, came back from a stroll, seeing everyone enjoying the sashimi on the table, they sat down immediately.
Chu Nanzhi was still wondering why he didn't see these two uncles. Seeing them come back with his own eyes, he felt more at ease, and quickly ordered: "Two uncles, try the meal prepared for you by the servant."
Beibin Wang Lintingyan picked up the chopsticks without hesitation, and ate a fish fillet just like Tang Ru did. Although the taste was unique, he did not like it.
It's just that at this time, even if you don't like it, you have to pretend to be contented, otherwise how can you make this group of people feel jealous of Princess Pingning.
He praised insincerely: "Not bad, really good, this is much more delicious than the dishes in Qi's Restaurant."
These words made Nandu Wang Lin Tingkai lose his face immediately, and ate a piece of fish fillet angrily.
Lin Tingyan continued to compliment: "My niece and daughter-in-law are really not waiting for nothing. After a small test, she has pocketed thousands of taels of silver today, making daily fortunes. If this continues, it will be unbearable."
"Uncle Liuhuang is too famous, this is just the money for everyone's love and reservation for a month's table."
Chu Nanzhi felt that the uncle's tone of voice was a little bit of hatred for herself.
There are 20 private rooms on the second floor of the restaurant, and the reservations for this month alone amount to hundreds of taels, plus the 66 individual seats and 18 private seats on the first floor are all booked after January, so today In fact, the revenue is only two or three hundred taels of silver.
And it's the Double Ninth Festival.
