Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 291 The first floor in the world

It has been almost half a year since Huang Ye entered the palace.

The yield of peppers grown on the farm this year is obviously much higher than that of wild peppers in the past, and her Tianxiadiyilou restaurant is scheduled to open tomorrow.

On the surface, Xiao Zhao was the owner of the restaurant. Some sharp-eyed people had noticed that Old Master Huang often hung out there when he had nothing to do, and they speculated behind the scenes that maybe the restaurant belonged to the Huang family.

But speculation is speculation, and no one will tell anyone about it. In the capital, even if you spit, you have to look around to see if there is anyone seeing it. How can such a casual speculation be spoken casually?

At this time, Xiao Zhao was in the house giving a lecture to a group of errand boys.

These people were carefully selected. Not only did they have to have decent features and be efficient, they also had to be smart and understand human expressions. It took him a lot of thought to select these people.

What Xiao Zhao is saying now is simply to ask them to treat the restaurant as their own home. As long as they work hard and the restaurant business is good, he will not treat them unfairly.

Now everyone is doing their job, and the tables, chairs and benches are all wiped again. Everywhere must be clean, so that the guests will feel pleasant when they come in to eat.

Ningyuxuan.

"Huang Pin, your restaurant will open tomorrow. What do you want? I'll bring it to you tomorrow to save your face."

An Ning was chatting with Huang Ye. When they learned that Huang Ye was going to open a restaurant, the eyes of those who often came to Ning Yuxuan for free meals were bright as stars.

From now on, they can finally go out to eat openly. As for paying money, well, the thing they have the most is money.

"I don't want anything from you, just buy some firecrackers and set them off when the time comes."

Huang Ye found it funny that as soon as these foodies heard that she was going to open a restaurant, they all came to her to buy cards, and they wanted gold cards.

You know, this gold card is not cheap, it costs 10,000 taels of silver.

But Prince Fu and An Ning sent the banknotes to her without blinking an eye. From now on, even if they don't enter the palace, they can still eat the delicious meals of Ning Yuxuan.

The third prince was short of money and he didn't have that much silver, so he had to buy a silver card. But it was not bad, as the money was enough for food.

the next day.

A restaurant opened on the road that ministers had to take when leaving court.

The restaurant is divided into three floors. The first floor is an open hall where you can eat if you want to eat something simple. The second and third floors are private rooms. If you are entertaining guests or just want some quiet time, you can go upstairs.

An Ning specially bought a lot of firecrackers today and set them off in front of the restaurant with a deafening roar.

Along with the sound of firecrackers, the plaque on the upper floor covered with red cloth was unveiled, and the five golden characters "Digital Floor Under Heaven" came into the eyes of the onlookers, and the voices of discussion became much louder.

"The No.1 Restaurant in the World, what a domineering name."

A younger guy said enviously.

"It hasn't even started business yet, and yet you dare to brag about being the best in the world. This is really a decline in morals..."

An old scholar with a white beard shook his head, sighed and muttered.

When the sound of firecrackers stopped, Xiao Zhao stood up to advertise.

"Everyone, today is the opening day of my restaurant. I hope you will take good care of us in the future. Our restaurant has launched a discount promotion. If you spend more than 10,000 taels of silver, you will get a gold card. With this card, you can enjoy a 20% discount on meals in the restaurant. If you spend more than 5,000 taels of silver, you will get a silver card. You can enjoy a 10% discount on meals in the restaurant."

The onlookers all took a deep breath. My goodness, who could spend 12,000 taels of silver on a meal like this? Did they think we were all stupid?

Someone brave enough asked in the crowd: "Excuse me, boss, are the prices in this restaurant very high?"

"Generally speaking, if just the family wants to get together for a meal, one hundred to two hundred taels of silver will be enough." Xiao Zhao replied with a smile.

Most of the people who were watching the fun left at once. This restaurant was not a place where people like them could just come casually. They might end up spending all their money on a single meal.

It was time to leave court, so it was not surprising for the officials to see this newly opened restaurant.

It’s just... why is the aroma wafting from the yard behind the restaurant so fragrant? It’s a smell they have never smelled before.

Seeing Xiao Zhao standing at the door to welcome guests personally, those who like to talk can ask him.

"Boss, what did you make that smells so good?"

"Oh, this is the braised food series specially launched by the restaurant. There are braised beef, braised pork head, braised chicken and so on. There are dozens of kinds..."

Xiao Zhao answered with a smile, and mentally praised himself for his cleverness. He deliberately asked people to open all those back doors, so that the aroma of the braised meat would come out. He didn't believe that these people could still move after smelling the aroma.

"Why don't we come over and try it later."

The smell was so delicious, but they had other things to do, so they had to finish the things at hand quickly and come back to eat later.

So everyone made an appointment to come together for lunch at noon, and then they dispersed in groups of three or four.

At noon, there was no one sitting in the restaurant's lobby, but there were two tables occupied in the private room upstairs, where people had made an appointment to have dinner after court in the morning.

The waiter brought them a picture album with various colorful patterns.

"This is the menu of our restaurant's dishes. You can take a look at what you want to eat and order accordingly."

As luck would have it, he happened to be standing next to the Minister of Personnel Shi Zhong.

Shi Zhong took the list and looked at it carefully. What he saw was amazing. The food on it was something they had never seen before, but the prices... were also something they had never heard of before.

"A braised pork head costs twenty taels of silver, and a pound of braised beef also costs twenty taels of silver. Why are things here so expensive?" Shi Zhong asked.

"Let everyone know, our shopkeeper said that our food is unique in the Great Xia Dynasty, and the price is very fair. In addition, today is the first day of opening, and our shopkeeper said that those who come here to eat in the first three days of opening will get a 20% discount."

No one at the table said a word. Who would host the meal today was a big problem. This meal would cost at least a thousand taels of silver. Even one or two hundred taels of silver was enough to make a meal. Just thinking about this number made one's heart hurt. So no one wanted to be the first to take action. At this point... the atmosphere became completely silent.

"If you think it's too expensive, you can share the cost. There are eight of you in total. After you finish eating, each person just needs to pay for his or her own portion."

The waiter followed the shopkeeper's instructions and said with a smile.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief: This is a good idea, they are already sitting here, can they just not eat because it’s too expensive? They can’t afford to lose face.

Well, the problem is solved at once. Eight people pay for a table of food and wine, so they can pay as much as they want no matter how much they eat.
