Tian Ya Pavilion is not only the only six-star Chinese restaurant in Kyoto, but also a place dedicated to entertaining foreign guests decades ago.
It was the former State Guesthouse.
However, later, after the new state guesthouse was built, Tianya Pavilion became a private property.
Although it is a private property, almost everyone in the Kyoto circle knows that the boss behind Tianya Pavilion has a powerful background.
Even the four major families cannot be offended easily.
Therefore, people in the Kyoto circle are proud to have a membership card of Tianya Pavilion.
Qiu Shui led Lou Yuchen and the others into the gate of Tianya Pavilion.
The decorative style in Tianyage is Xinhua style. From furniture to decorations, everything is basically made of mahogany.
Simple yet stylish.
When you walk in, you can feel what grandeur and elegance mean for the first time.
Although Qiu Shui had been here once before, when he came again, he still felt a high-end feeling that "it is worthy of being a six-star Chinese restaurant."
In fact, the decorations and furniture in Nioufu are much more valuable than those in Tianya Pavilion.
Moreover, they are all antiques.
However, precisely because they are all antiques, they give people a sense of heaviness and dullness that comes from the sedimentation of history.
If Nioufu is a warm wine that needs to be savored carefully, then Tianyage is the kind of strong liquor that goes straight to the brain as soon as it enters the throat.
At first glance, the feeling it gives people is stunning and noble.
After all, this was Qiu Shui’s second time here, so he felt okay.
However, this is the first time for Lou Yuchen and his friends to come here.
Lou Yuchen has good self-control, and he always looks expressionless and cold.
Therefore, even if one is somewhat amazed by the high-end atmosphere of the Tianya Pavilion, it will basically not show on the face.
Liang Liang and his friends are different.
After entering Tianya Pavilion, everyone opened their mouths wide, as if they were dumbfounded.
Zhou Dagang and Ouyang Xu looked just like the first time they entered Renwang Palace.
If Nioufu is low-key luxury, then Tianya Pavilion is high-profile luxury and has class.
The beautiful receptionist in cheongsam immediately came up to us with a smile.
"Welcome to Tianya Pavilion, gentlemen, do you have an appointment?"
Qiu Shui nodded, "Yes, last name is Qiu."
The beautiful receptionist was stunned for a moment, her whole body tensed, and she bowed slightly to Qiu Shui with great respect, "Welcome, Mr. Qiu. Your supreme box is ready, please follow me."
"Oh my god, the Supreme Box?"
When Zhao Rongrong, who was next to Liang Liang, heard the name, she immediately covered her mouth.
"What's wrong? Is this supreme box very special?" Liang Liang asked in confusion.
Zhou Dagang and Ouyang Xu also looked at Zhao Rongrong with confusion.
"That's not special, that's..."
Zhao Rongrong didn't know how to explain to them for a moment. Seeing that Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen had already left with the receptionist, Zhao Rongrong hurriedly said, "They're gone. Let's catch up."
Qiu Shui had been here once before.
Although it has been almost two months since the last time I came here, Qiu Shui still remembers it vividly.
There is a wooden plaque with gold letters on the top of the door of the Supreme Box.
There are four big words written on it: "Supreme Box".
Just from this wooden plaque with gold letters, you can tell that this box is extraordinary.
When he entered, the furnishings and the sandalwood tables and chairs made Qiu Shui feel like he was back in the study of Renwang Palace.
Zhou Dagang and Ouyang Xu also noticed it.
"Qiu Shui, this place looks like your study room!" Zhou Dagang looked around.
Ouyang Xu also agreed, "Yes, it's just that the furniture here doesn't seem as beautiful as the ones in your house. The carvings on the furniture in your house are much more beautiful than these."
"Nonsense, those things in Qiu Shui's house are antiques. This is just a restaurant, how can it be compared with his home?"
Although Liang Liang had never been to Renwang Mansion, after he knew that Renwang Mansion was Qiu Shui's home.
He even went out of his way to find the video of Nioufu that had been filmed by the TV station and reviewed it.
I plan to find some time to visit Qiu Shui's house.
The receptionist standing nearby heard Liang Liang and the others say that the things in their store were not as good as those in Qiu Shui's home. She just smiled and did not show any dissatisfaction.
After all, those who can enter the supreme box are not simple people.
Although the things in Tianya Pavilion are good, they are not as good as those in the guests' homes, which is not surprising. On the contrary, it is a very normal situation.
Zhao Rongrong, on the other hand, seemed particularly reserved since entering the box.
On the contrary, Zhou Dagang and others who did not understand the meaning of this box, except for the initial shock and amazement, became casual after entering the box.
After all, everyone present is our good friends. There's nothing to be so reserved about.
"Would you like to order now or later?" the receptionist asked politely.
"Now, after playing a game, I can eat a cow." Zhou Dagang was really hungry. After all, a game of football is very exhausting.
"Okay," Qiu Shui said to the receptionist, "Let's start ordering now."
"Okay, wait a moment, sir."
The receptionist backed out.
In less than a minute, six waiters came in with menus.
Then he placed the recipes in front of Qiu Shui and others.
Qiu Shui picked up the menu and handed it to Lou Yuchen, "Come on, it's your treat today, order first."
dinner?
Lou Yuchen only had a few dozen yuan in change on him at the moment.
There are only tens of thousands of Chinese yuan in the card at most.
Even though this meal cost him all the tens of thousands of Chinese dollars, he was not panicked at all.
Instead, he said to Qiu Shui as a matter of course: "What's mine is yours, so it should be you who orders."
Qiu Shui couldn't help but nod to Lou Yuchen with satisfaction. Very good, Lou Yuchen's performance today was very good, and he was very conscious as a boyfriend.
Qiu Shui took the menu but didn't look at it. Instead, he asked Liang Liang and the others, "See if there's anything you want to eat. Just order it directly."
Zhou Dagang looked at the menu, and his eyes widened when he saw the dishes with prices above four or five digits.
So expensive?
Are these dishes made of gold?
"Dagang, what's wrong with you? Why are you so surprised?" Ouyang Xu, who was standing aside, looked at Zhou Dagang's expression and asked in confusion.
Zhou Dagang said faintly: "You will understand if you look at the recipe."
Ouyang Xu opened the menu and his eyes widened like Zhou Dagang's. Then he took off his glasses, wiped them with the corner of his clothes, and put them on again. Then look at the recipe.
That’s right, it’s a four-digit number. Turning to another page, it’s outrageous, that dish actually costs five digits.
"Have you seen a ghost? You look like that." Seeing Zhou Dagang and Ouyang Xu's shocked expressions, Liang Liang opened the recipe curiously, wanting to see what was in the recipe that could surprise them so much.
Then, Liang Liang was also stunned by the astonishing price.
Oh my god, a dish costs four figures? Turn over two more pages, and they are all five-digit numbers.
Is this dragon meat?
So expensive.
Liang Liang swallowed his saliva. Zhao Rongrong, who was standing beside him, was also amazed when she saw the prices of the dishes on the menu.
She had been here once before with her cousin Xia Canyang.
They were sitting in the lobby at the time.
Even for the seats in the lobby, it is difficult to get a reservation.
At that time, Zhao Rongrong heard from Xia Canyang and others that the prices of dishes in the private room basically started from four figures.
Especially the supreme box, which has hidden dishes.
The price starts from six figures.
Zhao Rongrong was shocked when she heard this.
Now when I look at the recipe in my hand, it really deserves the word "supreme"!
The waiter standing behind them saw that they had not ordered any food.
Smiling, he said, "Sir, if the dish you want is not on the menu, we can make it for you. Don't worry, we have chefs of various dishes here, and we can make any dish you want."
Just listen to the way they talk, there are chefs from all over the cuisine.
This service can kill a lot in seconds.
Of course, that price can kill a piece in seconds!
"Qiuzi, why don't you try some?" Zhou Dagang put the menu on the table and said to Qiushui.
The prices frightened Zhou Dagang so much that he didn't have the courage to order any food.
"Yeah, you order. Your boyfriend is treating you to dinner today anyway." Ouyang Xu simply pushed the difficult task of ordering to Qiu Shui.
"Yes, yes, Qiu Shui, you should order." Liang Liang didn't even dare to look at the menu again.
He always felt that as a second-generation rich man, he was living a pretty good life.
Until I saw the recipe here.
My goodness, it turns out that with his monthly pocket money, he can only afford to buy one meal here.
Moreover, it was probably half full.
Liang Liang and the others didn't dare to say a word, and Zhao Rongrong was even more afraid to say a word.
Seeing them like this, Qiu Shui knew that they must have been scared by the prices on the menu.
Qiu Shui actually understands very well.
Because it was his first time to eat here, he was shocked when he saw the prices.
"Okay, let me do it." Qiu Shui had just picked up the recipe when the familiar system prompt sounded.
"Ding... Congratulations to the host for triggering the show-off wealth mission."
"As a rich person, you should show your nobility when you invite friends to dinner. Please complete the task of showing off your wealth."
"If the mission succeeds, you will be rewarded with a lucky draw. If the mission fails, 10 million Chinese Yuan will be deducted from the host's deposit."
Qiu Shui's hand holding the recipe stiffened for a moment.
What the hell?
Will I be deducted money if the mission fails?
This little system has completely grasped his lifeline!
This task seems simple.
It’s not simple at all.
The system should not emphasize the word "noble" too much.
What is nobility?
That's why it's expensive.
It means spending money, a lot of money.
And the money should be spent on key areas.
Because of this show-off wealth mission.
The emphasis is on the word "show off".
It seems that either the mission is completed or it is not completed.
He is definitely going to bleed heavily today.
I'm going to bleed a lot anyway, so I might as well just eat the money.
Complete the task and get rewards.
Qiu Shui closed the menu, handed it to the waiter beside him, and said, "Then let's just order one according to the quantity for us. No need to serve the drinks, just the juice. Don't waste it."
Want one? The waiter didn't understand at first and was stunned for a moment.
Then he reacted quickly and said respectfully: "Okay, Mr. Qiu, we will arrange it for you right away."
Several waiters left the menu and left.
"No, Qiu Shui, are you only ordering one dish?" Liang Liang was a little dumbfounded.
Zhou Dagang opened the recipe book again and wondered, "Strange, there is no dish called 'Lai Ben' in this recipe book!"
Ouyang Xu said, "Stupid, what Qiu Shui meant by "bring a copy" is to ask someone to cook all the dishes in this recipe."
"What? Make all of them in one? How much will that cost?" Zhou Dagang stood up from his chair in surprise.
"This must be worth millions, right?" Liang Liang looked at Qiu Shui in shock.
Spending millions on a meal is something Liang Liang would never dare to dream of.
"Over a million?" Zhou Dagang excitedly said to Qiu Shui when he heard the price, "Qiuzi, hurry up and call them back. Have them cancel the order. There must be at least dozens of dishes on this menu, right? There's no way we can finish them all."
The most important thing is that the price is really outrageous.
It was just a dish, but Zhou Dagang was terrified just by looking at it.
Qiu Shui actually just came up with a copy?
"Qiu Shui, there's really no need to order so much. Three dishes and one soup are enough for us." Ouyang Xu didn't even dare to suggest five dishes and one soup. Because the price is too expensive.
"Don't worry. Didn't you hear me just now say to let them place the order according to the number of people we have? Although there are many dishes, if we only make a little of each dish, we can still finish them. Besides, the host didn't say anything. You who are waiting to eat can't help but want to save money for him?"
Qiu Shui smiled deeply at Lou Yuchen, "Besides, if you don't have the money to pay later, just leave him here and use his body to pay off the debt."
"I would pay off my debt with my body, are you willing to do that?" Lou Yuchen asked Qiu Shui with a smile in his eyes but a serious expression on his face.
Qiu Shui looked at Lou Yuchen's delicate face and nodded, "Well, I really can't bear to do that. Then wait a moment, I'll reluctantly pay for you. But if you do that, you'll owe me millions again."
"It's okay, I can pay it back slowly. I still have a long life ahead of me."
Lou Yuchen's voice was low, and his peach blossom eyes seemed to be stained with morning dew, clear and charming.
Qiu Shui saw his own reflection clearly in those beautiful eyes.
Ahhh, did Lou Yuchen go to class at night like him?
He was taking a transportation course, and Lou Yuchen was taking a love talk course.
Otherwise, how could he be so good at flirting?
Liang Liang couldn't stand it anymore, "Qiuzi, we haven't even eaten yet, and you two are already trying to stuff dog food into our mouths. Isn't that a bit too much?"
"Come on, stop talking about Qiu Shui. You and Rongrong have been stuffing dog food into our mouths more often." Ouyang Xu said to Liang Liang mercilessly.
Zhou Dagang also said: "That's right, you are all the same, don't say anything about anyone else."
While everyone was chatting and laughing, the door of the box opened.
A row of waiters, holding dishes of delicious food in their hands, began to deliver them to the table.
The first thing that came up was the cold appetizer.
There are a total of eighty-eight dishes in the menu.
There are twelve appetizers and cold dishes alone.
The portions of each appetizer and cold dish were divided so that each person only had a small bite.
Twelve cold dishes, placed together on twelve small plates, are colorful and look very appetizing.
Qiu Shui and others were hungry.
Although Zhou Dagang and the others were amazed at the price of the meal, Lou Yuchen, who was treating them, didn't say anything. They couldn't talk anymore.
I had to eat in silence.
They have to savor the millions of dishes.
There are twelve cold dishes, and each one is cooked differently. Every single one tasted really good.
Twelve cold dishes, a small bite of each. After eating, I felt even hungrier.
While I am sighing that the cold dishes are so delicious, the main dishes must taste even better.
Zhou Dagang and his friends felt very distressed.
Because every bite they eat now is not food, it’s money!
The kind that can be at least three digits at a time.
The cold dishes were quickly eaten up.
The waiter immediately and swiftly took away the empty plate.
Then the door opened again.
Another team of waiters carrying dishes came in.
The second course was the main dish.
Because Qiu Shui ordered quite a lot of dishes, they will be served in batches.
The main dish is Tianya Pavilion’s signature dish.
There are twenty-four dishes in total.
The portion of each dish is larger than that of cold dishes.
That’s enough for three mouthfuls per person.
Each dish has its own characteristics.
Zhou Dagang and others who were originally talking could only keep eating and had no time to talk.
To get from the kitchen to the supreme private room, one has to pass outside the hall.
It was almost dinner time, and more and more people started to come to Tianya Pavilion to eat.
After seeing rows of waiters carrying trays of food, I walked towards the private room.
It immediately attracted countless eyes.
"What's going on? I just saw a group of waiters leave, why are there another group coming now?"
"That direction seems to be the direction of the Supreme Box."
"Who is this important person coming?"
"Here they are again. This is the third batch of waiters. Over in the Supreme Box, are they entertaining many guests today? Why did they order so many dishes?"
"I wonder which important person has come. I really want to meet him."
"Just you? You still want to get to know me? Don't you even look at your own identity?"
"I heard that the people who came into the Supreme Box were a few young people."
"Young man? No way? Could he be the heir of the four major families?"
"Very likely."
"Look over there, isn't that Qin Ze from the Qin family?"
"It's him. Why is he here?"
…………
"You mean, someone is already in the Supreme Box?"
Qin Ze questioned the receptionist dissatisfiedly, "Who is that person in the Supreme Box?"
The receptionist said, "I'm sorry, sir. This restaurant cannot disclose guest information. There are four remaining private rooms, namely the Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum rooms. The Chrysanthemum room is also empty. With your membership level, you can use it."
Qin Ze was furious when he heard this. "Wait a minute, our Qin family and Ren family are coming over for dinner. You actually want us to use a small second-class box? What a joke. This is your Supreme Membership Card in my hand. The Supreme Box should be for me to use. Hurry up and clear the people out of the Supreme Box."
"I'm sorry, sir. Those who are dining in the Supreme Box are also our Supreme members. We have no right to ask them to leave the box."
Although Qin Ze's attitude was very bad, the receptionist still explained patiently.
"Are you also a Supreme Member?" Qin Ze sneered, "Your restaurant has quite a lot of Supreme Members. But I don't care about your so-called Supreme Members. I just want your Supreme Box now. You must vacate it for me. If you don't think of a solution, I can find a solution for you."
Today, Mr. Qin and Mr. Ren made an appointment with Wen Guangyao to have dinner together to discuss their future cooperation.
As for the dining location, we decided to have it in the supreme box of Tianya Pavilion.
The Supreme Box is actually rarely used on weekdays.
Therefore, reservations are required in advance.
However, if you come to Tianya Pavilion and hold a supreme membership card, most of the time you can directly enter the supreme box.
Just in case, Mr. Qin gave the Supreme Membership Card to Qin Ze and asked him to make a reservation for the Supreme Box of Tianya Pavilion in advance.
Because this meal tonight is very important.
Mr. Qin's action made Qin Ze very happy.
The fact that Mr. Qin entrusted him with such an important dinner party proved that the old man had begun to accept him.
As a result, Qin Ze was so happy yesterday that he drank with Lu Qiang's group of lackeys in a bar near Tianya Pavilion.
I got drunk accidentally and slept in the bar all night.
I forgot about booking the supreme box.
When I woke up, it was already dinner time.
Qin Ze quickly ran over with his membership card. But what he got was the news that the supreme box had been booked.
When Qin Ze heard this, he instantly became angry.
Grandpa gave him this task, which showed his trust in him.
If he can't even handle such a small matter, then he will probably have no chance to join the Qin family in the future.
"Sir, please don't be unreasonable." The receptionist frowned.
"I'm just being unreasonable, what's wrong with that?" Qin Ze was really anxious.
It was almost time for the meal that Mr. Qin had agreed to have. How could he not be anxious?
"Lü Qiang, go ahead. Since they are unwilling to do anything, let's help them clean up the box ourselves."
However, Lu Qiang's group of leaders looked embarrassed.
"Mr. Qin, the supreme members of Tianya Pavilion are basically from the four major families. This..."
As a member of the Kyoto circle, Lu Qiang certainly knows the meaning of the Tianya Pavilion Supreme Membership Card best.
"I don't care if the people inside are from the four major families or not. Today, our Qin family and the Ren family are together. Could it be that our two major families are afraid of them? And I heard that the people in the box are all young people. They must be people from those two families who stole the membership cards at home and ran out to eat."
"But……"
Lu Qiang and his friends were in a difficult situation. Even among the young people from those two families, none of them could afford to offend them.
Qin Ze watched the time pass by and he could no longer care about anything else.
"If you don't dare to do such a small thing, what's the use of you, a bunch of trash."
Seeing that Lu Qiang and others didn't dare to go, Qin Ze rushed in himself.
At this moment, Qin Ze was too anxious to care about so many things. Even if Fang Jun was in the box today, he would "invite" him out.
The receptionist and the waiter next to them quickly ran over to intercept them.
But because Qin Ze ran so fast, they couldn't catch up with him in their high heels.
And because Qin Ze was holding the Supreme Membership Card, they didn't dare ask the security to chase him away.
"Brother Qiang, what should we do now?" another lackey asked Lu Qiang.
"What else can we do? Of course we should go and stop Young Master Qin."
Lu Qiang was about to cry. Qin Ze had just been normal for a short while, why was he acting like a troublemaker again today?
What kind of place is Tianya Pavilion? Even if the old man of the Qin family came in person, he would not dare to be so presumptuous.
Qin Ze even wanted to kick everyone out of the supreme box. After knowing that the people in the box were most likely from the Fang family or the Zhang family, not only did they not restrain themselves, they even clamored that their Qin family and the Ren family were not afraid of those two families.
Such brainless words could be said. It seems that Qin Ze drank too much yesterday and it went to his head.
Qin Ze had come here once before with Old Man Qin.
So, I know where the supreme box is.
Qiu Shui and others were having dinner happily.
As a result, the door of the box was kicked open with a loud bang.
Qin Ze had just kicked the door open and hadn't had time to take a good look at the people in the box when a dark shadow flashed by.
He kicked Qin Ze directly in the stomach, and Qin Ze was kicked out.
