As soon as the people entered the store, they were immediately amazed by its decoration.
The antique decoration is mixed with some arrangements that they have never seen before. The combination not only does not appear abrupt but also gives people a comfortable visual enjoyment.
People gathered in groups of three or four and sat down in the lobby.
Immediately afterwards, a handsome young man came up with a menu to serve us.
"Hello, three guests. These are all the dishes in our restaurant. You are welcome to choose from them. All the dishes above are half price today. You can choose as much as you want.
In addition, the store has ten other fruit teas and milk teas for three people to choose from, and these are free.”
The woman in pink took the menu from his hand and said in surprise.
"There's even a menu. Your restaurant's service is really good."
The young man smiled faintly and said nothing.
The woman spread the menu on the table, and her two companions looked at it at the same time.
This sight made me surprised again.
When they came in and saw the nice decoration of the restaurant, they were worried that the prices of the dishes were too expensive and wanted to back out.
But then I thought, since I'm already here, I might as well sit down and take a look first.
But they never expected that the dishes were not only affordable, but also completely affordable for ordinary people like them.
Even at full price, they can still afford it.
However, when they thought about the bland taste of this antique soup, the enthusiasm of the three people immediately diminished a lot.
But since they were already in, it would be difficult to go out again, so the three of them decided to order a table and try to eat.
"Give us a plate of each of the lamb slices, chicken slices, pork slices, and cabbage."
The girl was talking while the young man was taking notes.
After the other party finished ordering the dishes, the young man smiled and reminded, "Sir, you also need to order a hot pot base."
"Bottom of the pot? What is this?" the woman looked puzzled.
Isn't the antique soup just cooking the ingredients in a pot of water? Why does it require something like a pot bottom?
"The Gu Gu Soup in our restaurant is different from the ones in other restaurants. You need to order a separate pot base to cook the ingredients."
He turned over the menu and explained in a gentle voice: "These are the bases for cooking soup, commonly known as soup bases. You can take a look and choose a soup base, then put the ingredients in to cook."
The woman looked in the direction he pointed.
I immediately saw some spicy hotpot, shuangyang hotpot, chicken soup hotpot, tomato hotpot...
"Wow! So many!" the woman exclaimed, and asked with some embarrassment, "What kind of soup base is the most special in your store?"
"It's spicy hotpot, sir. However, as the name suggests, this spicy hotpot is spicy, numbing and fragrant. If you can't handle spicy food, I suggest you order a different hotpot base.
You can order a shabu-shabu hotpot, and enjoy the spicy hotpot and other hotpots at the same time.”
Listening to the young man's description, the woman in pink and her companion couldn't help swallowing.
What does it taste like? It sounds delicious.
The three of them whispered a few words, and finally ordered a double-flavored hotpot, one with spicy hotpot and the other with tomato hotpot.
The woman looked at the beverage area again, and after looking for a while, she ordered a cup of milk tea called Spring Peach Mist. Her two companions also ordered the same.
Then comes the waiting process.
In the lobby, many people had already ordered milk tea or fruit tea which had been delivered to them.
The drink container is a uniform blue-white glazed cup with a lotus pattern, about the size of an adult woman's palm.
The texture is blue-white glaze, and three small corners support the entire cup.
There is a small hole at the bottom of the cup, and there is a porcelain straw on the outside connected to the small hole at the bottom.
The cup is filled with a rich and mellow liquid with a hint of tea aroma. I guess this is the so-called milk tea.
Many people looked at the drink in the cup with curiosity, and the people nearby also stretched their necks to watch.
Someone kept urging, "Hurry up and drink it, let's see what it tastes like, it looks pretty good."
A woman in blue picked up the cup and took a sip. The next moment, her eyes widened in disbelief.
"How?" the woman next to her asked hurriedly.
The woman in blue took a few more sips, her face full of aftertaste.
This action and this expression tell it all.
Another diner couldn't wait to taste it and exclaimed, "It tastes good! It tastes so good! I have never tasted such a delicious drink in my life!"
She shouted directly to the young man in the store, "Waiter, give me another glass of this Xia Heshuang drink."
Listen, not only is it delicious, but the name is also kind of fancy and nice.
Lang Jun smiled apologetically, "Sorry, sir, the drinks in the store are limited. Each customer can only order one cup. I'm really sorry."
The woman was disappointed when she heard this, but she also expressed her understanding.
If people could drink such a delicious drink unlimitedly, the store would lose a lot of money.
But before she could finish feeling disappointed, the shopkeeper suddenly appeared and made the announcement with a smile.
"The teahouse next door will open tomorrow, and all the drinks in our store today are imported from the teahouse next door.
If you like this tea, you can go buy it tomorrow when her shop opens."
The woman was overjoyed when she heard this. "Thank you for telling me, haha. I will definitely come to patronize you tomorrow."
She must buy this delicious tea back for her husband to try. He will definitely like it.
Many people who like to drink tea also secretly kept the shopkeeper's words in mind.
Soon the hot pot ordered by the diners arrived.
The waiters in the restaurant taught the diners at each table how to eat.
Teach them how to serve dishes and prepare delicious dipping sauces.
After a while, the store was filled with praises from the people.
“Delicious! So delicious!”
"Grandpa, why didn't I realize there was such a delicious delicacy before!"
"Boss, you should open your store earlier. If you open it earlier, we can enjoy the most delicious food in the world earlier."
"The best soup in the world! It really lives up to its reputation, shopkeeper!"
The diners ate with relish, their mouths drooling, and did not forget to give a thumbs up to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, everyone just eat and drink well."
"Such a delicious antique soup should be paired with two taels of wine. Does the shopkeeper have any wine?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Please wait a moment, sir."
The shop assistants, the shopkeeper, the chefs in the kitchen, and the waiters serving the dishes were all busy.
The diners enjoyed the meal with their mouths drooling and praised the dish highly.
Outside the store, the people who were watching smelled the fragrance wafting in the air, and their appetite was tempted out.
Waves of cheers and praises were heard coming from the store, and many people could not help but enter the store.
But once you get in, you can't get out.
