Chapter 361: Never Seen the World
The booklet is a full foot thick, and I am dizzy after flipping through it over and over again.
"How many kinds of losses do you have?" Master Lin asked curiously.
The waiter proudly said, "Sir, our Huaxianglou is the number one restaurant in Guancheng. All the food outside comes from us. As for the variety of food, there are a total of 736 kinds, and the number will continue to increase in the future!"
Seven hundred and thirty-six!
Tsk!
If you eat one kind a day, it will take two years to finish them!
Master Lin marveled at the variety of their food. "If these dishes are learned by others, aren't you afraid that they will damage your business?"
The waiter puffed out his chest and said proudly, "Then you guessed wrong, sir. We have a training business here. Anyone who wants to start a food business and sell food in the building can come to our Huaxiang Building for classes. It doesn't matter if you don't have money in the early stage, but you must pay it back when you make money later!"
This was the first time Mr. Lin had heard of this business model: "What if I can't pay it back?"
The waiter shrugged: "Impossible!"
They have requirements for store employees and the location of the stalls. And anyone who wants to make a career, how can they make it big and strong without this kind of determination?!
"Lao Lin, stop asking questions and take a quick look to see if there's anything you want to eat. I've already ordered everything!"
Master Wan placed the meal roster in front of him and patted the table in an urging manner.
Mr. Lin still had a lot of doubts in his mind, but he was soon attracted by the delicious food in front of him. His stomach, which was only about 70% full just now, started to growl again.
Finally, he ordered a bowl of hot and sour noodles recommended by the waiter. When he got to the dessert page, he was exhausted by the densely packed desserts.
"You can order the rest, but we must have some special dishes!"
He said to the waiter.
"Sir, every dish in our restaurant is a specialty, coming from all over Nanxia. We even have the delicacies of the Hu people. It depends on what flavor you would like to eat," the waiter added quickly.
Mr. Lin: ...
"How about some dishes made with wine?"
Mr. Wan was about to speak up to stop him, "How can you drink in this state?"
But Master Lin quickly covered his mouth.
After the waiter left, Master Lin finally let go and quickly explained, "I don't drink alcohol. I just want to eat some food with alcohol to satisfy my craving. There's absolutely no problem with that!"
Master Wan snorted, "You're just trying to show off. I wonder what you'll do if you don't feel well!"
"No, no!" Master Lin waved his hand. It was not like he had not tasted it privately.
A quarter of an hour later, the two of them were presented with a variety of special snacks, which were so dazzling and colorful that they simply made people happy!
Mr. Lin's first chopstick reached out for the wine-flavored steak. It had a tender and smooth texture, and a rich wine aroma. It was simply better than any beef he had ever eaten before.
Beer egg bubbles, fermented rice cakes...
The table suddenly became quiet, and Mr. Wan didn't bother to give any instructions and started eating the rice rolls with big mouthfuls.
This is his favorite and he must order it every time he comes to Guancheng.
It’s not available anywhere else, only this old shop can make that kind of taste.
Half an hour later, the two of them were burping from eating so much that they could no longer stand up straight.
"Wan...hiccup...brother..." Master Lin opened his mouth, not daring to rub his stomach hard, "How...go back?"
At that time, he just wanted to go out for a walk by himself, but now he can't go back.
Fortunately, Huaxianglou had encountered this kind of situation before, and the waiter immediately brought two people over and prepared a sedan chair.
Lift them up.
Master Wan wanted to go back and rest, but Master Lin didn't want to. "Look, there's still the sugar factory, and you haven't taken me there yet!"
Master Wan sighed, "Why not come back tomorrow? I really don't have the energy today!"
Master Lin: "No, it's a good time to walk and digest the food, don't dawdle!"
Next, the two of them sat in the sedan chair and traveled around most of the city. However, because the sugar factory was in the suburbs, they still did not go there.
But Mr. Lin became interested in the textile factory again and insisted on going in to take a look. However, Zhu Mingqing was not in the city at that time, and Mr. Wan could not contact him, so he could only persuade him to go home.
When I got home, I saw that Mr. Lin was already snoring and sleeping peacefully.
Well, I don’t have to do anything today, just rest at home!
…
Xu Yan rode on his horse, looking at every tree and blade of grass in the city gate. Although he had never been here before, the news he heard in the capital was never like this.
It is said that this place is dilapidated and the people are numb, and strong winds come from time to time.
So it should be a gray scene.
But Xu Yan's feeling was completely different. The mental outlook of the people was not much different from that of people in some big towns or even the capital.
"My Lord, I heard that Huaxianglou originated in Guancheng. I have already asked someone to reserve a room for it. Why don't you go over and take a look?"
Xu Yan nodded slightly, and the two of them rode their horses quickly to the second Huaxiang Building.
There are not as many people here as in the morning market, but it is still very prosperous. Now some capable people in Guancheng have opened shops around here.
The scattered shops in the past were gradually moved here, forming the famous Fugui Street in Guancheng.
As he entered the Huaxiang Tower, Xu Yan was attracted by the exquisite and colorful murals in front of him, as well as the tall building, which was rarely seen in the capital.
As the waiter walked into the backyard of the inn, they arrived in front of Chunyuan.
"Sir, your residence is inside. I'll be waiting at the door. If you have any instructions, just pull the rope in the room and I'll be able to hear it!" The waiter pointed to the bell at the door.
Xu Yan nodded slightly and walked into the yard with a few of his men.
The yard is neither big nor small. The first thing that catches your eye is a large garden full of colorful flowers and flying butterflies.
The tall trees around cast shadows, and the stone-paved path twists and turns. At the end of the winding path, there is a two-story building.
I smelled the fragrance of flowers all the way to my residence. The small building looked inconspicuous, but it was made of precious nanmu wood. When the wind blew, I could faintly smell the fragrance of wood.
Xu Yan was amazed at the owner's thoughtfulness. Although other places had already started to dry up, there were still green willows here.
Being in it, the whole person feels relaxed instantly.
"I wonder who opened Huaxianglou, but the taste is extraordinary!"
He sighed. He thought the scenery and delicious food were good enough, but when he saw the facilities in the room, he found that water would come out of the shower by pressing a switch, and there were curtains that could be quickly controlled by pulling a rope on the bed.
Everything is so convenient and yet so unusual.
He had never even seen Xu Yan, who came from the Xu family, let alone the servants.
After everything was cleaned up, everyone gathered in the eldest son's room. Some people touched the chairs under them or looked at the decorations around them, always feeling that they had other uses.
