Chapter 40 Eight Signature Dishes
At this time, the hotel owner Wang bowed and walked in and said, "Boss Ling, you are a rare guest!"
"Long time no see, Boss Wang. Seeing that your business is getting better and better, congratulations!"
Boss Wang sat down and said, "Then he is the one who competes with Boss Ling. Boss Ling is not only here to enjoy the meal this time, right?"
"Haha, Boss Wang, I'll ask Boss Wang a question first. Summer is here, how is the hotel business going up compared to other seasons?" Ling Yi asked.
"The summer is hot and customers have fewer appetites, so the business is much less than other seasons." Boss Wang did not hide it and answered truthfully.
"That's it, I'll introduce you. This is my brother, Brother Qian, and his name is Xiaoxing." Ling Yi introduced the two to each other, and Qian Xiaoxing and Boss Wang greeted each other.
"My brother Qian is extremely smart and ingenious, and has made something called an air conditioner." Ling Yi introduced.
"Air conditioner? I have never heard of the name, what's the use?" Boss Wang asked in confusion.
"Air conditioning, simply put, reduces the indoor temperature and keeps the room cool in the hot summer." Qian Xiaoxing introduced.
"There are some such things?" Boss Wang obviously didn't believe it: "How is this thing there?"
"Boss Wang, don't worry, this thing has been made in real life and has good performance. I think this thing has a very useful purpose for you." Ling Yi guided.
"What is it for me?" Boss Wang thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, if those high-end private rooms are installed, they will be full every day."
"So, such a good thing, with your friendship, the first thing I think of is Boss Wang." Ling Yi said.
"Okay, I don't know how much the air conditioner is for?" Boss Wang asked tentatively.
"I don't have to worry about this. When we have a meal, I will take you to see the real thing first." Ling Yi opened his mouth when he saw Qian Xiaoxing open his mouth, and pulled Qian Xiaoxing's sleeve with his hand to stop Qian Xiaoxing.
"Okay, then when Boss Ling finishes his meal, I'll call me. Today's meal, Boss Ling is rare to treat you. I'll treat you." Boss Wang said.
"Boss Wang is really happy. Then I'll treat you another day." Ling Yi bowed and thanked.
"Boss Wang!" Qian Xiaoxing saw that Boss Wang was about to leave, and shouted: "In order to thank Boss Wang for treating him, I have two suggestions here. Boss Wang will listen to it. If you think it is easy to adopt, it will be considered as my thanks for treating me to a meal."
"Oh, I don't know what kind of opinions Brother Qian has, Wang, please wash your ears and listen." Boss Wang returned and sat down, looked at Qian Xiaoxing and said.
"I just entered the store and walked into the private room, but I couldn't see the menu for ordering. This menu was only hung on your counter. How could I see it when I sat in the private room? Can only regular customers order dishes?" Qian Xiaoxing asked. Qian Xiaoxing had just entered the store and saw that the ancient menus were written with bamboo slices and hung in rows on the wall behind the counter, and a wall was hung in a row. If this dish was not available, then turn over the bamboo slices to hang it.
"Brother Qian said very well. I have considered this issue, so I will ask the waiter to recite the menu and report it to the customer. If this is not the case, copy the menu and hang it in the private room, and the private room will not be elegant enough." Boss Wang replied.
"Boss Wang is right. It's not good to register the name of the dish. After hearing it, the customer forgot the front. So I suggest that Boss Wang make a menu. Specifically, it is to write the name and price of the dish in white cloth. If one piece is not enough, you can write a few more pieces. Well, that's enough. Then frame it with a wooden frame, so that the customer can hold it in his hand to check it when ordering the dishes." Qian Xiaoxing said, gesturing the size of the menu.
"Well, this method is very good, why didn't I expect it?" Boss Wang said in surprise.
"There is another suggestion," Qian Xiaoxing put the dish that had just been served from the waiter to himself from the middle of the round table and continued, "Boss Wang, you, this round table, is enough for more than ten people. If the dishes come up, how can the person opposite the dish placed in front of me be caught?"
"This is really difficult. Basically, everyone eats the dishes in front of them. If they are too far away, they are embarrassed to pick up the dishes. Brother Qian has a way?" Boss Wang asked humbly.
"Of course there is one. Boss Wang only needs to add a small round table to the table, and the table is cushioned with a few wheels to make the small round table rotate. Then put the dishes on this small round table, no matter where it is placed, as long as I turn the round table, I can transfer the dishes to me and easily pick up the dishes." Qian Xiaoxing actually plagiarized the round table turntable in the modern hotel.
"Brother Qian is really talented and intelligent. He can think of such a good way. Although he only said a few words, he solved two major problems. Wang is very grateful." Boss Wang thanked sincerely.
"It's nothing, Boss Wang has over-rewarded."
At this time, the waiter brought the dishes again, and Boss Wang said to the waiter: "Give all the eight signature dishes of our store to Boss Ling and Brother Qian. I want to thank Brother Qian and Boss Ling."
"Yes, boss!" The waiter retreated.
"You two must eat well and drink well. Just say whatever you want, as long as we can make it, we will ensure that you are satisfied with you." Boss Wang was really happy today. He was not worried about how much money it would cost to ask for this meal, but sincerely asked them to eat more to repay their gratitude.
"Boss Wang is polite. It's enough to eat. We both have eaten so much." Qian Xiaoxing said.
"You're welcome. Then I'll do the two things you said first, and I'll lose my companion first. If you have instructions, just speak."
Boss Wang said and stepped out.
After a while, the entire round table was filled with dishes. Qian Xiaoxing took a look and said, "Good guy, chicken, duck, fish, meat, and all the colors, fragrance and taste."
"Brother Qian, this chicken is a pheasant in the mountains, a duck is also a wild duck by the stream, a fish is a live fish in the deep sea, a venison in the forest, and these mushrooms and vegetables are not only rare, but also very particular. There are eight major dishes in this restaurant, which are not something that ordinary people can afford." Ling Yi introduced.
Qian Xiaoxing didn't expect that in ancient times, he also liked wild game, but those high-ranking officials must have been used to eating ordinary meat, so he also wanted to taste wild game.
"Haha, Boss Wang is going to have a heavy bleeding this time. I just said a little advice and it's so generous." Qian Xiaoxing picked up the dish and tasted it and said, "This dish tastes really good."
"For you, it's a casual talk. For Boss Wang, although this suggestion cannot be immediately profitable, it has added a lot to their hotel service. If the service is good, the rewards of those high-ranking officials will be more than those who eat." Ling Yi analyzed.
"I won't say much, eat." Qian Xiaoxing had never eaten these dishes before traveling through time. The fragrance wafted by, and he didn't care about talking and started eating.
