Chapter 739: Deyue Tower
With their king giving the order personally, all procedures would naturally go ahead with the green light.
Zhou Xu picked up his brush again after a long absence and wrote a plaque for the first restaurant in their Great Zhou Dynasty, Deyue Tower! The publicity work had been done long ago, and he spent another week cleaning up the restaurant. When the day came, Zhou Xu, as the king, showed up in person to participate in the plaque hanging ceremony of Deyue Tower.
This time, the cards are fully stacked.
There was no need for any shouting, as a large number of onlookers had already gathered around.
Just like that, in front of everyone, the plaque was hung on the door beam of the restaurant, and Deyue Building was officially opened! Zhou Xu took the lead and walked in.
After that, the waiter who had been hired long ago immediately stood at the door and greeted everyone.
Deyue Building is a place for drinking and eating. The food and wine here are more delicious than those in the cafeteria, but relatively speaking, they are also more expensive than those in the cafeteria.
Through the publicity over the past few days, onlookers have already formed a relatively clear impression of this place.
Many of those who came to join in the fun had some spare money in their pockets and had originally planned to go in and take a look.
Not to mention that now their king is leading the way, so they have to go in even more! The common people of Da Zhou have a consensus, that is, follow their king, it is definitely right! For a moment, everyone rushed in without stopping.
At just one glance, I was shocked by the luxury of Deyue Tower.
Zhou Xu thought the decoration here was just average, even passable, but the natives had never seen such a scene before. In their opinion, it was too luxurious.
The common people, who originally felt that they had some money in their pockets and were quite confident, became more restrained in their actions when they saw this scene.
The waiters in the restaurant were all aware of this, as they were in a similar situation when they were first transferred here for training.
At this moment, they immediately greeted the guests who came in, found a place for them to sit, poured them tea, and then introduced the food and drinks of their Deyue Tower.
We definitely won’t introduce the expensive ones first. After all, the guys know how much it costs to have a meal in the cafeteria before.
Taking this into consideration, Deyue Building has specially arranged some relatively cheap meals. On average, they are only one or two cents more expensive than the cafeteria, which is within the acceptable range for many people.
Of course, at the end, the guys all mentioned it in tacit agreement.
"Sir, we at Deyue Tower have even better food and wine. Are you interested?"
The prices of the food and drinks mentioned above gave them a rough idea of the price, and now they felt bolder.
"Are there any better dishes and wine? Tell me about them."
Hearing this, the guys naturally started introducing themselves immediately.
My goodness, it would have been fine if you hadn't heard it, but once you heard it you were shocked. The prices of the fine wine and food that followed suddenly went up, and on average they were 30% to 40% more expensive than outside, which instantly deflated most of the guests' courage that had just been built up.
But I also understand why it is so expensive.
Take the fruit wine produced in the Lizardmen’s territory for example. At this stage, it is considered a luxury product. Not only is the price not low, but it is often sold out. Sometimes you cannot buy it even if you have money.
At Deyue Tower, as long as you can afford it, you can get unlimited supply. In addition, the same applies to tropical fruits. At the same time, those dishes use expensive spices, which is simply luxurious! All these things make the guests realize that expensive things have their reasons, and then they order the cheapest dishes.
The guys were still moving quite quickly, and as early as during the training, the arrangements for who would be in charge of which tables had been made in advance. This meant that even though there were many guests in the restaurant, they were still busy and orderly.
As the orders came in, the restaurant's kitchen quickly became busy.
After ordering their dishes, the guests were finally able to spare some energy to take a closer look at the Deyue Tower.
Regardless of anything else, at least the wooden tables and chairs here are much more comfortable to sit on than the long benches in the cafeteria, and the environment is even better.
After looking around, the guests' eyes fell on the platform in the hall.
Just when everyone was wondering what this platform was used for, a figure in a black cotton gown swayed over to the table in the middle of the platform and stood still.
Then he picked up the wake-up stick on the table and slapped it. With a "click!" sound, the guests were startled and the originally noisy restaurant suddenly became quiet. At the same time, their eyes fell on the figure.
Feeling so many eyes falling on him, the man was visibly nervous, even his facial expression became a little stiff, but in the end he still gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Hello, everyone. I'm Wang Pengfei, and I'm a storyteller in Deyue Tower!"
As Wang Pengfei spoke, he bowed and clasped his hands towards the guests as a greeting.
During this time, the guests had no idea what he was going to do and they all looked confused, which made the atmosphere in the building a little awkward.
Fortunately, Wang Pengfei was a man who could brag, and having already spoken, he continued to talk shamelessly with a broken jar mentality.
"Have you heard about the incident some time ago when our king flew up to the sky on an object?"
I have to say that Wang Pengfei is quite smart and knows what topics can arouse people's interest.
You know, similar topics have been circulating in the city recently. Now that he asked this question, guests in the audience immediately joined in the conversation, making the whole atmosphere gradually livelier.
"Oh, he is useful again."
Leaning on the fence of the private room on the second floor, Zhou Xu chuckled as he watched Wang Pengfei getting into the groove below.
When Zhou Xu realized that newspapers were unlikely to be effective due to the limited number of literate people, the solution he thought of was to arrange for storytellers!
Let people understand things in a fun way.
At the same time, from the perspective of domestic affairs, once this storyteller's system is formed, it will be beneficial for him to guide public opinion and win the hearts of the people in the future.
From an economic perspective, development is beneficial to restaurant business.
The food in the restaurant is indeed better than that in the cafeteria, there is no doubt about that, but it is also expensive!
Under this premise, if you want people to come to the restaurant to consume, you have to use more things to attract them, and the storyteller who can bring them "entertainment value" is the key! Zhou Xu didn't think much about this candidate, and directly locked on Wang Pengfei, who was demoted to cleaning by him before.
Because this guy is really good at bragging. The ability to make decisions that he honed as a keyboard warrior before traveling through time, as well as his mysterious self-confidence that no one knows where it came from, are really not something that people of this era can have.
Update sent, if nothing unexpected happens, there should be additional updates after 10:30 (end of this chapter)
