Chapter 263: The Shura Field of Jinxi Tower (2)
Who says it isn't.
After hearing what Guan Laoliu said, some people started to think about it.
Gao Li had been in Tianxianglou for more than ten years, but I had never seen him sell skewers like this!
After he left, he opened the shop for two months and everyone praised his work, saying it was all due to his craftsmanship.
There must be something fishy going on here.
And the taste is so different that even a three-year-old child can tell the difference.
"Ah, so it turns out that Jinxilou failed to steal the master's skills and instead framed Tianxianglou."
"Yes, yes, you're jealous! You want to ruin someone's reputation."
A wise man said it right away.
Someone in Jinxi Building had been muttering about this a long time ago: The skewers look the same, but why do they taste so different?
People tend to follow the crowd, and in this chaotic environment, the crowd is very excited.
Once one person says this, more people will echo him.
Saying it in public at this time was like setting off a powder keg, with crackling sounds everywhere.
It seemed as if without even saying a word or taking a step, he had already been assigned to the thief.
Some even brought up the beheaded Hong Jingtian: "Gao Li has been following the old villain Hong for so long, maybe he is also a bandit."
This is a serious matter, as it means being implicated in a crime punishable by exile and beheading.
As soon as the words were spoken, those who were talking excitedly suddenly dispersed and went to look for the next house to see if there was anything rare.
And those who stopped to watch again began a new round of surprise and amazement...
Not only do you have to know this yourself, but you also have to repeat it, or even several times, and explain it to others.
There are several kebab stalls, all with the same taste, all delicious, all crowded with people, and all talking about Tianxianglou, Jinxilou, Gaoli...
At this time, every kebab stall has become a slaughterhouse on the tip of your tongue.
During this period, restaurants and food shops that followed the trend of selling grilled skewers were repeatedly ridiculed and tortured, and became Tianxianglou's public execution of the chef industry.
People say that where you fall, there you get up.
It might be difficult for Shen Leyan to get up after falling this time.
Song Liyun carefully prepared this trade fair. Tianxianglou set up the stage, the other shops were just supporting roles, and the skewers were the main attraction.
Everything is for this moment.
People were saying that Jinxilou and Zuichunlou were already socially doomed. Fortunately, they didn't come, otherwise they would have vomited blood on the spot.
Ever since Gao Lifang said that Tianxianglou learned the craft from him, Song Liyun has been thinking of a way to publicly refute it.
To be honest, it is difficult to explain this kind of rumor without any evidence.
People have all kinds of tastes. Unless the food is so unpalatable that it angers everyone, whether it tastes good or not depends on one’s thoughts.
Besides, Gao Li has been a chef for decades, so how could he be really bad?
In addition, other restaurants and shops followed suit, wishing to make the Tianxianglou's "dishonesty and destruction of ancestors" known to the world.
If Song Liyun just asked someone to explain, the more she talked, the more confusing it would become, and people would probably misunderstand her as the bad guy making the first complaint.
Tianxianglou is the only restaurant that sells grilled skewers in Qili County. Apart from the free tasting at the beginning, the number of people who can actually enter the store and eat them is limited.
Most people have only heard that skewers are delicious but have never had the chance to try them themselves.
It is for this reason that the rumor that the grilled skewers in Jinxilou were made by Gao Li is inexplicable.
To ordinary people, it doesn't matter how cooked the food is. Besides, Tianxianglou is famous for its grilled lamb chops, so it is somewhat true that Gao Li is the master.
Only those who have eaten his Tianxianglou grilled skewers and grilled lamb chops can tell the difference.
The grilled lamb chops are not cheap, and anyone who can eat them must be well-known in Qili County.
They are just diners. Who would bother to defend Tianxianglou? Maybe some unpleasant words will be spread about them.
Tonight, the building is going to turn black into white.
Song Liyun could only rely on public opinion to make her feel uneasy.
Now, thanks to the hard promotion of Jinxilou and Zuichunlou over the past few days, many of their diners and those of Tianxianglou are magically overlapping at this time.
Their propaganda is just shooting themselves in the foot.
Comparing the two, the truth is clear and needs no explanation.
Even if there is something to say, it is Shen Leyan and Gao Li’s business.
At the trade fair, Tianxianglou did not sell skewers. With Guan Laoliu and the others present, Tianxianglou no longer needed to add any icing on the cake.
On the stall of Tianxianglou, there are stacks of snow-white napkins. When opened, they are like silk handkerchiefs, and they are soft and comfortable to hold in the hands.
Those in charge of the sales today are Sun Wencheng, several sergeants, and Lin Tao.
Sun Wencheng and the others were all wearing the uniforms custom-made by Tianxianglou.
He wore a bowler hat, a sky blue short shirt, black silk crotch-length pants, a red scarf around his waist, and the three words "Tianxianglou" embroidered in apricot yellow on the hem of his clothes. He looked like a very energetic young man.
This is the style they chose themselves, and Song Liyun feels that it looks very flashy no matter how she looks at it.
At this moment, Sun Wencheng showed his eight big white teeth, and his eyebrows almost flew up to the sky with a smile. He bowed to the people around him and said, "Dear neighbors, elders and fellow villagers, this is the special paper towel provided by Tianxianglou.
Table tissue is used to wipe your mouth after meals and blow your nose.
What...you mean it's similar to a silk handkerchief? Yes, it is, but this one doesn't need to be washed. You can take it out and use it anytime. It's fragrant, soft, and white.
You don’t have to worry about wanting to wipe your sweat only to pull out a wrinkled handkerchief that might even have dirt on it.
How do you sell it? Oh! Sorry, we don't sell paper towels to takeout yet. Only Tianxianglou members can redeem them with points.
...What are points? Come this way, let our boss explain how to earn points.
Of course you have to become a member to earn points, and you can become a member right away..."
While demonstrating the uniqueness of tissue paper, Sun Wencheng encouraged people to sign up for membership.
So, those who thought the tissue paper was rare went to find Lin Tao and ask about becoming a member.
How many people are dumbfounded: Such good paper is not used to write beautiful articles, but only to wipe the mouth and nose?
What a waste!
No, I will write to the county school and put an end to this extravagant and wasteful lifestyle.
In a flash, he even thought of the title of the article: "On the Harm of Tianxianglou Restaurant Paper to the Country and the People", and he was going to hold another literary gathering to criticize it.
Where to choose a place... choose Tianxianglou.
Let everyone see how intellectuals are insulted here.
In the crowd, Song Liyun, wearing a lilac-colored jacket and skirt, accompanied a woman of about 27 or 28 with a boy of seven or eight to watch the fun.
Approaching the stall at Tianxianglou, Song Liyun pointed at the busy Lin Tao inside and said, "Sister-in-law, Brother Lin is now the shopkeeper. He earns one tael and five taels of silver every month, and gets a bonus at the end of the year. He can afford to support you and the child. Why don't you stay in town and find a school for Luo'er in the county?"
When Lin Tao's wife arrived with the children, Song Liyun gave him a holiday and asked him to stay at home to accompany his wife and go into the city for a stroll during the trade fair.
Who knew the trade fair would be so popular that Lin Tao had to rush on stage, even leaving his wife behind.
