Compared with the opening of the big wine tank, the opening of Zhou's private hall was unexpectedly low-key. There was no firecrackers or lion dance, so naturally it did not attract a wave of congratulations. Most of the colleagues who were interested in congratulating Zhou Dong on the phone, but they would not come to join in the fun.

If a small restaurant like a big wine jar needs to be lively and a private dish like a restaurant needs such low-key decoration. The phone number for making appointments is almost called a hotline. Does this still need to be vigorously promoted? The more publicity is, the more it will be!

That is, the five brothers in Laoxionggou were doing business face to face, and their relationship with Zhou Dong was even more affectionate. Then he brought gifts to visit him. Xiong Buer was also generous, with the top-notch Matsutake and the wild bee-sucking bee in the black forest of the northern three provinces. These things made Huailiang people jealous, and therefore changed their perception of the five brothers and they all began to call them brothers.

The five brothers hurriedly congratulated each other and left. Today is a good day for the opening of Zhou's private hall. According to the rules, they have to leave immediately after congratulations. This is called avoiding suspicion.

On the contrary, the big wine tank became lively now, and the old guests were all here, and the four old men who often came also came in two pairs.

In theory, with the four old men and their relationship with Zhou Dong, the first table of opening should be theirs. Most of the time Zhou Dong has to treat you and don’t charge any money, but the four of them forced Zhou Dong to give in and say that you want to eat your kid’s skills will be successful at any time. Why should you take advantage of your first table for the opening? Make your money well. If you can’t make up for the deficit of the big wine tank, then we guys will have a place to drink and chat?

In fact, the fourth brother either has a position or bears the responsibility of a master. He often goes to various places to participate in activities and promote newcomers to get back. In a month, he can only get together in the big wine jar for a few days. In this way, he treats Zhou Dong as his nephew and is unwilling to delay his business.

Besides, the four brothers have heard about it. Zhou Dong is quite angry. He said he has to be good at eight major cuisines. Even with their understanding of Zhou Dong, he believes that Zhou Dong needs time to make the best dishes. Instead of becoming Zhou Dong's experimental white rat, how can he wait a little patiently? These four old people are so terrified...

"Everyone, Master Zhou's private dishes are so precious. It turns out that the first table of wine and food was sold at a sky-high price, a total of 180,000 yuan.

This is the Shandong cuisine. There are no palace and Confucius cuisine that require top ingredients. The price is not the highest. If you arrive, you will not be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars?"

"I don't know anything, right?

Although I have never eaten it, I have heard that there are millions of food and food in Kyoto Magic City. Don’t you think about what grade of ingredients are used on the table?

It was because Master Xiao Zhou left first and did not serve the palace or Confucius's dishes, so he pushed the price to 180,000. I guess this is just to get auspiciousness, otherwise what would be a table of hundreds of thousands?"

"No, we old customers have followed Master Xiao Zhou since the breakfast department. Could it be that when we open a private hall, we are abandoned?"

"Oh, you still have a conscience!

Master Xiao Zhou has announced to the public that the wine used in the private hall is also the general manager and the three bowls of wine. In the private hall, the price of a pound is 5,000 yuan! Let’s see what the price is in the big wine jar?

Do you really think the big wine jar is so profitable? This is the place of a five-star hotel. Don’t look at the booming business, it’s good to calculate the various labor expenses!

Master Xiao Zhou is not making money, so why does he open this big wine jar? It’s not for the sake of feelings? It’s just about the relationship with us old guests!

You are really trying to be more and more frugal! It represents the bad nature of human beings. You are the one who doesn’t take advantage of it, right?”

Many people nodded repeatedly when they heard this. The four old men laughed, and they knew that there were all kinds of birds in the forest. Xiao Zhou had done this. There were still people who were greedy. Fortunately, there were still many people who knew that there were still many people. This person was so angry that he scolded him just now!

The Lord Long even slapped: "Well said it! This brother just now, you don't understand the first time you calculated. Everyone doesn't blame you. If you still talk like this in the future, you don't have to wait for Master Zhou to speak. What should we do?"

Everyone said in unison: "What else can I do? Just drive it out!"

"Yes, brother, don't blame me for being rude. Some of the big wine jars are cheap wine and food. You are welcome to come. Want to eat in a private hall? Yes, you have to bring enough money. Master Zhou is worthy of us!"

The man blushed: "Hey, President Long sees what you said, can't I be wrong? I'm so stinky... By the way, President, I heard that you also made an appointment for Master Zhou's private dishes?

When talking about this, Master Long was quite proud and shook his head and smiled, "Oh, it's really expensive. Master Zhou saw that I was a regular customer, so he gave me a 20% discount. It's only 168,888. There's no way. There are a few author friends from afar, so he can't lose face!"

"I'm so envious. Now President Long can drink 5,000 pounds of generals and three bowls in the private hall. It's amazing!"

"Brother, can we talk about something else?"

When the Lord Long heard this, his face turned dark. Are you not a pot of this pot? He felt distressed when he thought about the cheap wine of this big wine jar, so he changed his place, but the price increased by nearly a hundred times! But the private hall has the rules of a private hall, so no one forced you to spend money with a gun, right?

Bring your own wine into the private hall? Not to mention that you never buy wine from the big wine jar, even if Master Xiao Zhou gives him face, it will be extremely disappointing to bring wine in. This face-to-face master still wants it.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about something else.

President Long, you are so familiar with Master Xiao Zhou, and you are the president of the 'Food Aid Club'. You must be well-informed? Do you know who is the leader in the private sector? Is it not our Chu Du?"

A common problem among Chinese people is that they will attach great importance to the region at this time. Zhou Dong’s private hall is open in Chudu. Even these old customers can’t afford it, and they also hope to take the lead are fellow Chudu villagers.

Dong Qishen and four other old men also raised their ears and were very interested in this top-notch person.

During this period, they were summoned to the Chinese Cooking and Food Association in Kyoto, and they were also preparing for the special national banquet not long ago. They were just rushing back to Chudu today. I really don’t know who was so lucky to be the first guest of Zhou’s private hall.

"This may disappoint you. The first guest in the private room is neither from Chudu nor an ordinary consumer. According to the rumors I received, this man's surname is Yuan and is also a famous figure in Qinxingli. He also sells private dishes in Kyoto, named "Suiyuan"!"

"Suiyuan, still has the surname Yuan? Isn't that the descendant of Yuan Cangshan? What a big deal, this person is so famous. Master Long, this person is not here to make trouble, right?"

"Brother, have you been thinking about it first? Have you heard of Kyoto's colleagues coming to smash Chudu's venue? Not only are they not the ones, but they are also said to be friends of Master Xiao Zhou. They also came to congratulate him when the big wine tank opened that day."

"Oh, that's true, we don't have to worry about Master Xiao Zhou."

Yuan Cangshan and Yuan Mei are famous among foodies. I heard that it was his descendants who came to the private hall. Everyone was really worried about Zhou Dong. When the master Long said that the two were friends, many people showed relief.

However, the four old men looked at each other, with deep worries in their eyes.

They naturally know more than these ordinary diners and know the details of Zhou Dong's trip to Kyoto.

Although Zhou Dong is considered to be a "gathering friends", Yuan Zidan lost in the end. It is true that the two of them became friends without fighting. But who can say that friends cannot compete with each other and seek face?

Yuan Zidan chose this node very well. Zhou Dong first served Shandong cuisine, but what he really made was a dish of fried and crispy oil. Even the four of them could not tell the truth. Shandong cuisine is the most skilled among the eight major cuisines. The test was the chef's comprehensive strength and true foundation!

Just as he was thinking, Yi Zhiyu's cell phone rang. He picked up the number and looked at the number. He immediately laughed: "It seems that we are not wrong. It was Yuan Zidan who called it."

He answered the phone and said a few words, hung up the phone with a wry smile: "He already knows that the four of us are in Chudu, and said that we will invite four of us to dinner in Zhoudong's private hall tomorrow.

I am half-mature and unfamiliar with him, but they are all people in the Kyoto circle and are also people with diligent Chinese style. It’s hard to go after receiving the invitation. What do you three think?”

Dong Qishen smiled and said, "It's just that I want to find a few of us to testify... He is also friends with Zhou Dong now, so he won't mess up the situation. However, if he eats something wrong, he will probably say it directly on the surface, which is a perfect way to remember the friend.

Haha, these literati are just too versatile. Just look for face and want to get around a big circle...

Go, I have confidence in Zhou Dong anyway, and I want to try his Shandong cuisine."

Not long after Yi Zhiyu put down his phone, the phone of the Dragon God over there rang: "Hey, who is it? Yuan... Mr. Yuan Zidan! Why do you have my phone number?

Oh, yes, yes, my phone number was announced in the league leader group. You are my silver leader, "Not edible without bamboo". I especially love reading this food article. Oh, this is such an honor!

What, you want to invite me to have dinner at Zhou’s private hall tomorrow? If you have time, of course I have time!"

***

After the opening of the private hall, the structure of the seventeenth floor has changed slightly. Now, after bypassing the screen walls built by the rockery, there are moon doors leading to the big wine jars on both sides, and the front is the Zhou private hall. The road was previously closed and temporarily blocked with fake backgrounds. Now, the fake background is removed, and there are two vermilion red wooden doors covered with copper nails. There are swallowing beasts on the door, and there are pairs of two-foot-high stone lions lying on both sides of the door.

The plaque hanging above the wooden door reads the big gold-plated word "Food is not stale". On both sides are pairs. The first couplet is sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, all of which are the taste of the world. The second couplet is steamed, cooked, fried, fried, fried, and fried, all of which are diligent ways. If we form a whole like this, the four words "Food is not stale" are considered qualified banners.

"Haha, what a good thing, I don't know who did it?"

Not long after the four old men and God Long walked to the door of the private hall, they saw a man in blue shirt coming around behind the screen wall. They bowed to the four old men and God Long, and praised the couple: "It's right, it's right, isn't this human affairs just a food? The ups and downs and downs are all about human affairs and cooks..."

Looking at the fact that China Qinxing is so sour, who is besides Yuan Zidan?

Yi Zhiyu and Yuan Zidan are both in Kyoto. They are not friendly to others, so they are the first to speak: "Haha, Lao Yuan, don't pour sour water, right? Today we are here to have a banquet, not a 'joint meeting' or a 'poetry meeting' or something."

Although Yuan Zidan is younger than the four of them, he is better than seniority. He is diligent in roving first and then judging by age. Therefore, Yi Zhiyu still calls him "Old Yuan".

"Haha, Yi Lao's words are different. Since ancient times, literature and food, poetry and wine have been related to Jiao Meng. The taste of literary rhyme and delicious food are even more related to each other, and it cannot be said that they have nothing to do with it.

Alas, Chef Zhou’s craftsmanship is of course not mentioned, but it is not as elegant as 'poetry and wine', otherwise it would be Yuan’s soulmate..."

When the four old men heard this, they all shook their heads secretly, thinking that besides your Yuan family, who else can do these poems and prose, and what is the trick? If you compare these things, then they will definitely be the first in Qinxing. Zhou Dong can't beat you.

"Mr. Yuan's words make sense. If you eat and drink without poetry, it will be much inferior."

The great god Long smiled at Yuan Zidan with a kind smile: "I haven't thanked you for supporting my book so much." Now he likes Yuan Zidan no matter how he looks. Why is this person so obsessed with him? Why does he speak so nicely? This feeling is so strange, just like he has met an old friend for many years.

"Haha, Mr. Long, you are polite. It is because you have written this book well, you have a unique insight into food, and there are many interesting things you do when you are diligent. I love reading it very much."

"You're welcome, I'll continue to work hard."

Dong Qishen laughed: "Okay, OK, President Long, Mr. Yuan, let's go in quickly. By the way, Mr. Yuan should know that Zhou Dong is only responsible for one main dish every day, but he doesn't know which dish you ordered?"

Yuan Zidan smiled bitterly and shook her head: "No order. Chef Zhou has great rules. What you do depends on his wish. I still don't know what dishes I can eat today, but it's interesting."

Yi Zhiyu laughed when he heard this: "You have to say it's interesting, isn't your Suiyuan the same?"

Several people laughed and walked into the private hall under the guidance of two beauties.

It is better to say that it is the hall, it is a unique space on the 17th floor of Jiuzhou Dingshi. After entering the vermilion wooden door, there are two consecutive moon doors and treasure bottle doors. There are spring flowers and summer lotus in the front door, small pond water corridor, autumn chrysanthemums and wintersweets in the back door, and sparse wood in the pavilion. No matter which season you come, there is always the fragrance of flowers to welcome people. Now it is winter, but the late chrysanthemums and red plums are blooming, especially the red plums are like the morning glow, which makes people feel much brighter.

Such a scenery made everyone praise it. No wonder the 5 yuan per cent wine outside will increase by hundreds of times when it comes here. Such an environment itself is valuable. Those rich people who come to the private hall to drink can't be wronged.

It is said that he only sells one table of wine and food every day, but four private rooms were built in the yard two times, namely "Yiya", "Yiyin", "Pu Ding", and "Taihe", but they were named after the four diligent ancestors. Everyone smiled and praised them, but Dong Qishen frowned slightly. It would be fine if he used the other three. This Yiya was a treacherous villain who offered to please the king. He really shouldn't name the private rooms by his name. I guess those who know this history would not like this private rooms.

But I think this is not the junior brother's idea. I will find an opportunity to remind him that it would be better if this name can be changed.

Under the leadership of the welcome beauty, everyone entered Taihe Hall. The hall was very spacious, with more than 30 square meters, carved mahogany tables and chairs, and incense from the cranes and copper furnace. Yuan Zidan was the master of the fragrance of books and the most expert. After smelling the fragrance, he said, "Is it ambergris?"

"Sir, right, this is the incense made by the famous incensemaker of Guangdu, "Baojue Jue" and may not be able to buy it even if you have money. It was specially given to Chef Zhou by our President Gu to celebrate his opening..."

"Oh, is that?" Yuan Zidan smiled slightly. His nature was like a singular and unrestrained master. After hearing this, his mind was naturally full of love and romance. Brother Zhou seemed to be very lucky. He had seen this female president and was considered a nine-point talent!

He smiled and said, "Where is Chef Zhou? Have you decided today's recipe?"

The same is true for his Suiyuan. The guests can only see the recipe after they arrive. Today, he asked him to taste this kind of waiting for speculation. Although it is interesting, he is also very itchy.

"Chef Zhou is still busy in the kitchen. In addition to the main dishes today, the side dishes are made by Master Shen Cheng of Lu Chu and several students of Chef Zhou. He also has to guide the students, so it will take a while to come. The recipe has been made and it is on the table. Please check it out by gentlemen."

"Oh, or write it on paper?"

On the table is a slightly pink paper, which looks thicker than ordinary letter paper, but thinner than rice paper. There are some relief outlines on the back of the paper. When you get closer, you can tell that it is a picture of Peng Zu mixing with the Hundred Bird Soup, and it is printed very exquisitely.

It turned out to be a paper that was almost impossible to see in this era! The four old men and the Great Master Long didn't think it was like that, but Yuan Zidan was overjoyed. It was so compatible with his spleen and stomach. Judging from this paper, Zhou Dong's private room was exquisite in small places, and he was very excited!

I gently picked up the paper and turned it over and saw a line of brush words written on it, "There are several side dishes, the main dish is: roasted sea cucumbers with green onions!'
Chapter completed!
