Chapter 114 The Private Restaurant in the Hutong

After seeing this courtyard house that has been in and out, Han Ankang also felt like he was turning over a local owner. Such a high-gate building used to be where high-ranking officials and nobles like landlords lived, but now it has become his territory. It is naturally impossible to say that there is no excitement in his heart.

Looking at Liu Liting beside her, she seemed to be very fond of the embroidery building she had just seen. Han Ankang felt that the house was always a waste of empty. Soon, Liu Liting said shyly: "Liting, I'll give you a key later. Whenever you want to come and live in the future, just come over directly.

I think that embroidery building is really good. If it were ancient times, it would have been lived by a girl like you. Let you experience the life of an ancient daughter, and you can also help me see the rent for my family. How about it? I won’t refuse, right?”

Although I had the desire to move here one day, I didn't expect that Han Ankang would be so happy that he gave her the room that was really decorated with the girl's boudoir to live in. In Liu Liting's heart, this was misunderstood like living under the same roof. Although I felt that there was a little deer in my heart, I still agreed very happily.

After inspecting another residence in the capital, Han Ankang proposed to visit the alleys near the Siheyuan. Speaking of which, this residential area of ​​Siheyuan allows private acquisition, which is more important to allow private individuals to bear high maintenance costs. Preserving this ancient building complex that is rare in the capital is also convenient for some tourists to come here to appreciate the unique Beijing hutong culture.

After walking out of this courtyard community that is mostly sold to private investors, Han Ankang asked Jiang Minghao and others not to follow them too tightly. He asked Liu Liting, who had visited here several times, to bring him a tour guide and introduce him to the other side, which was developed into a residential area like a commercial street and a tourist area.

Compared to the parking space at Han Ankang's courtyard, the residential area that can now be used cannot accommodate cars. Looking at the tourists who take photos with their backs and cameras from time to time, Han Ankang was also very interested and looked at these unique buildings from ancient times. Before he knew it, he didn't even know when Liu Liting took his arm.

When Han Ankang realized that this was easy to misunderstand, he looked at Liu Liting with a happy face and said nothing. The girl didn't mind, but he, a big man, refused, which was somewhat unkind. In addition, he felt really good about Liu Liting, so he could only pretend not to see it. He accompanied Liu Liting like a couple, wandering among all the alleys that started to rush, and enjoying the unique alley culture here.

Jiang Minghao, who was always not far behind the two, and with the other three bodyguards, protected Han Ankang's safety. Although they knew that in the political power center of China, no one dared to openly cause trouble for Han Ankang. But as Han Ankang's bodyguards, they had the responsibility and obligation to ensure that Han Ankang was not attacked or dangerous.

When Han Ankang, who was walking around the alley and didn't know where he was, saw that many small restaurants were crowded with people eating, he realized that it had arrived at the meal. Thinking that Liu Liting had been in trouble today, he had been a tour guide with him for so long, Han Ankang also proposed to invite Liu Liting to a meal. However, it is best to choose a quiet place.

In this regard, Liu Liting quickly remembered that her cousin took her to a private restaurant before. The dishes in that restaurant were very authentic, and the boss's cooking skills were also quite famous in Beijing. Most people who could eat there had a little wealth. Moreover, eating there was often a membership system. If no one introduced it, you might not be able to find a seat if you wanted to eat there.

Last time, Liu Liting followed her cousin Liu Liyang and a group of families from a military family in Beijing to have dinner there. Liu Liting, who was given a membership card by her boss, quickly took Han Ankang to the private restaurant in a courtyard. She had dinner there, as long as there was a seat, it would be very quiet, and no one would easily disturb the guests to eat inside.

Of course, the consumption of a meal there is no lower than that of a top restaurant. Therefore, ordinary tourists and ordinary people may not be able to afford to eat in such private restaurants. In the past, when Liu Liyang took Liu Liting to dinner, he would often make an appointment in advance, otherwise there would be few private rooms.

Because it was not too far from the private restaurant, Liu Liting skipped the step of making a phone call and took Han Ankang to the restaurant directly. Seeing that he had been walking around the alley and came to a corner of the alley, in front of the Siheyuan with the signature of the Tan Family Restaurant, Han Ankang also lamented that the boss was really willing to spend such a precious Siheyuan to open a restaurant.

Although it was time to eat, there was still no car parked at the entrance of this restaurant. After Liu Liting introduced it, this restaurant deliberately avoided too much traffic and disturbed the guests who dined here, so they chose to drive the restaurant here. Although there was no traffic here, there were no fewer people coming here to eat every day.

In addition, the consumption of tens of thousands of yuan is not affordable for everyone. Therefore, sometimes even if there are not many customers, the boss is not afraid of losing money. Not to mention, diners who want to taste the private dishes of Tanjia are just like walking a long way to come to this restaurant for dinner.

Compared with other restaurant receptionists, they are welcome to entertain. The two female receptionists in front of the restaurant asked politely whether they have a membership card. If there is no membership card, the restaurant rarely allows diners to enter. In a sense, the restaurant only does business with related households.

After Liu Liting showed a membership card, the receptionist asked about the number of people and quickly stated that the small private room inside was gone. If Liu Liting didn't mind, she could go to the restaurant yard and eat at the dining tables separated by screens.

It was rare to encounter so many rules for a meal, and Han Ankang naturally became interested and quickly said that it would be okay to have a meal. Eating in the room and outside, as long as it was quiet, which made Liu Liting, who looked a little embarrassed, didn't say anything more, and took Han Ankang and four bodyguards and followed the waiter to the middle of the courtyard, at the dining table separated by ancient wooden screens.

Seeing these dining tables look very simple, Han Ankang was also very curious about how strange the dishes made here were. What’s even more rare is that Han Ankang seemed to be very restrained when he saw the canteen coming in to eat. Unlike eating in other places, there were crowds of people everywhere.

Looking at the menu handed over by the waiter, although I was mentally prepared, I saw the cold dishes on it alone. Almost every serving was priced at hundreds of dollars, and it was a pity that only a few dozen dollars were missing. Could it be that the dishes here would become immortals after eating them? Why would you sell 128, a cupboard of peanuts outside?

Perhaps seeing the surprise in Han Ankang's eyes, Liu Liting explained in a low voice: "Brother Han, the dishes here are indeed expensive, but the taste is very authentic. Just like this cold dish that is common on the market, the flavors made here are also unique. Moreover, the price has been filed at the Price Bureau."

OK! I want to complain that the price here is too high, I am afraid it will not work. Han Ankang quickly stopped looking at the menu and handed the menu to Liu Liting and said, "Liting, since you have been here, then you can order a few.

Don’t worry about the price. As long as you think it tastes good, you can order it and try it. By the way, it’s the first time I’ve grown up. I saw a cupboard of peanuts sold for 128. I also want to know what’s so special about peanuts.”

I know the prices here, and for those who come here for the first time, I feel that it is too high. Liu Liting didn't say much, and took the menu and ordered a few quickly. When she came here the last time, she felt it was very good. One of the best Buddhas jumped over the wall, and the price was even 4,880.

After ordering these nearly 10,000 dishes, watching the waiter leave politely, Liu Liting and Han Ankang talked about the origin of the Tan family's private dishes. They also brought this restaurant, many elderly people from aristocratic families in Beijing, from time to time, to order the meals from here to take them home to adjust the taste.

Some diners have even met here, and they used to only appear on TV to dine here. Therefore, although they know that the restaurant is profitable, few people dare to eat here and make trouble.

Moreover, the owner of this private restaurant often picks up the foreign guests when the country entertains foreign guests. This also means that the boss here is a bit like a royal chef. Not to mention, there are occasional receptions of many domestic and foreign politicians who come to eat in the name of a famous person. Therefore, the price is a bit different and there is nothing difficult to understand.

After listening to these introductions, Han Ankang did not quite understand why the price was so high, but he also understood why the diners who were eating here seemed so polite and qualifying. It turns out that the owner of this restaurant is well-known, and ordinary people really dare not cause trouble here easily, in case they spread it out and let others laugh at their incompetent tutoring.

During this conversation, the waiter brought some exquisite snacks to Han Ankang and others. These things are not charged, but they must be served by the waiter after ordering them. In a sense, this is a blow first and then a little bit of good taste.
