"It seems that many people have been scared away by the price." Cui Honglian and Chen Guiyi came out and looked at the empty hall outside. They couldn't help but look at each other.
If they had never eaten the food before and saw the price, they would definitely be scared away.
After all, the price is really expensive.
Especially since there are actually several dishes costing hundreds of dollars, and if you want to eat them you have to make a reservation three days in advance.
They were all amazed by what they saw.
However, after eating Qin Zijin's dishes, they truly understood that the price was really not expensive.
It's even cheap.
As the two of them walked to the door, they saw an old man in tattered clothes walking in. He hadn't washed for a long time and his clothes had a sour smell.
"Old man, we are open for business. If you want to eat, please go outside." The waitress Huang Cuiju frowned, but still stepped forward, trying hard to force a smile, and spoke politely to the old man who had already found a seat and sat down.
The old man raised his hand and smelled his clothes. He hadn't changed them for several days, so they were indeed a bit smelly.
However, he looked calm, as if he didn't care about his appearance at all. He just waved his hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense. I'm here to eat. Where's the menu? Let me see it."
Huang Cuiju was a little hesitant.
Qin Zijin had already come up, "You go watch from the side, I'll do it."
Huang Cuiju had no choice but to agree and watch from the side.
Qin Zijin forced a smile and looked at the old man in front of him, "Old man, here is the menu, what would you like to eat?"
The old man took the menu, took a look at it, and his eyes widened immediately. "Are your dishes inlaid with gold? So expensive?"
"The ingredients we use at home are all top-notch, and the price is not expensive. Anyone who has tasted it will know it's worth it." Qin Zijin's face was full of confidence.
With her god-level cooking skills and the various ingredients produced in the space, she still thinks this price is too low.
If it wasn't the early 1980s, she wouldn't have wanted to set such a low price, fearing that no one would come.
"Tsk tsk, I heard there's a 50% discount today?" A hint of pain flashed in the old man's eyes, and he couldn't help but ask again.
"Yes, we are opening today and everything is 50% off. The original price will return to tomorrow." Qin Zijin nodded.
The old man still felt a little reluctant, but he still ordered three dishes. After hesitating for a while, he ordered a bowl of soup.
A serving of soup costs five dollars, and he feels the pain in his wallet just looking at it.
Fortunately, it’s half price today.
Qin Zijin repeated the other party's order and asked about their dietary restrictions before going to the kitchen to cook.
The old man carefully took out a bottle of wine from his arms, took a sip of wine, and showed a satisfied expression again.
Soon Qin Zijin's dishes were ready.
Huang Cuiju served the food to the old man personally.
Three cups of tea were served quickly, emitting bursts of tempting aroma.
The regular soup was also served quickly.
Today's soup is carrot, corn and pork bones. A serving of soup is served in a large soup bowl. In addition to the soup, it also contains a large piece of pork bones, a few pieces of carrots and corn.
The old man took a look, nodded with satisfaction, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the vegetables.
I was originally wondering, could eating this vegetable that costs almost three dollars make me feel like I'm in heaven?
As a result, after taking a bite, his eyes widened.
With his status, he has even attended state banquets.
But even the most famous boiled cabbage in the state banquet was not as good as the ordinary green vegetable he ate.
He remembered what Qin Zijin had said just now, that the ingredients used in their home were all top-notch. He didn't believe it at first, but now he did.
This is definitely top-notch food!
He couldn't wait to eat a bite of the braised pork.
The braised pork is fat but not greasy, and soft and crispy when put into the mouth. It has a rich meaty aroma and the sweet taste of the sauce, which explodes in the mouth. Every bit of the taste is just right, making people unable to stop.
The old man couldn't help it and took a few more bites.
When I came to my senses, the three cups of tea on the table had been eaten up, and even the bottom of the plate had been licked clean.
He looked at the empty plate on the table and fell into silence, then sighed after a long time.
It is really worth it to be able to eat such delicious food in this life.
Just as he was thinking, his eyes suddenly widened, he stood up abruptly, staring intently at the three empty plates in front of him, and then shouted anxiously, "Girl, girl, come here quickly."
Huang Cuiju looked at the old man doubtfully, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over. "Old man, what can I do for you?"
Qin Zijin had just warned her that any guest who came in to eat should be treated with courtesy and should not be treated differently based on their clothing or appearance.
Although Huang Cuiju was reluctant, she still had to listen to her boss.
So at this time, the attitude towards the old man was a little better than before.
"Who made this dish? I want to meet your chef." The old man spoke anxiously.
Huang Cuiju frowned and looked at him. After a moment's silence, she finally answered, "This was made by our boss, the one who just ordered your food. If you want to see her, I'll go to the kitchen and tell her."
Then he turned and went to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Qin Zijin was cutting fruit.
The fruits are free, and they are all fresh seasonal fruits. They are also produced in the space. They are much more delicious than those bought outside. The sweetness and moisture are optimal. And because of the space, eating more is also good for the body.
"Boss, the old man outside said he wants to see you." Huang Cuiju came to the kitchen, took a look at the fruit Qin Zijin had cut, and then spoke.
"Got it. I'll be out right away." Qin Zijin nodded, put the last piece of cantaloupe on it, and then carried the fruit plate out of the hall.
"Girl, did you cook the dish?" The old man looked at Qin Zijin coming out, his face full of excitement.
Qin Zijin glanced at the table, nodded, and put the fruit down. "Old sir, are the dishes to your taste?"
"How did you do it?" The old man did not answer, but looked at Qin Zijin with burning eyes.
He was just focused on eating and only remembered that the food was delicious. He even forgot that his sense of taste had deteriorated so much that he often couldn't taste the food.
Just now, when he was eating the dish made by Qin Zijin, he could actually clearly taste the several seasonings used in that dish.
This is simply unscientific.
"What do you mean?" Qin Zijin looked at the old man with some confusion.
"To be honest, my sense of taste has deteriorated due to my age, and I always have trouble tasting what I eat. Sometimes I can't even tell if it's salty or bland. I've been to the hospital, and the doctor just said it was due to excessive smoking and drinking, which has caused my taste buds to degenerate, so I can't taste anything. But just now, when I ate your food, I was able to taste it clearly. How do you do it?"
