Chapter 101 Fifth sister, you are such a person!
"Are you sure you want to buy 500 wen per meal?"
Yun Shu stretched out two fingers with a half-smile, pinched the banknote, and pointed in the direction of Tianwaitian Restaurant:
"See? The fourth floor."
"I know!"
Yun Chuhuan hadn't realized what he meant yet, and said as a matter of course:
"It's not like I can't count!"
"I mean, a meal that costs 500 wen is only on the first floor."
Yun Shu raised his finger gently and explained slowly:
"The dishes on the second floor are more exquisite and delicious, and the seats are not as crowded as on the first floor. It is relatively more elegant, but the price is ten taels of silver per person."
"So expensive!"
Yun Chuhuan was startled:
"Then the third floor would cost one hundred taels?"
"About that. The starting price for a table on the third floor is one hundred taels. The specific price depends on the customer."
It was a rare sight to see Yun Chuhuan being shocked by the ten taels of silver. Yun Shu smiled and took the initiative to quote the price for the last floor.
"The minimum charge for the fourth floor private room is five hundred taels."
Yun Chuhuan: “…”
So, with this one hundred taels of silver, he couldn't even sit on the fourth floor. At best, he could only reach the minimum threshold of the third floor?
When the fifth sister was so poor that she only had three copper coins left, he was still spending money like water.
Now that his fifth sister has opened a restaurant, he is so poor that he can't even go upstairs! !
Yun Chuhuan, who was greatly shocked, snatched the banknote from Yun Shu's fingers and put it in his arms, gnashing his teeth angrily:
"Then I have to see if the second, third and fourth floors are worth the price first!"
"Row."
Tianwaitian Restaurant will not officially open until ten o'clock. She came so early today just to see for herself how the restaurant is prepared before it opens.
I just deliberately quoted all the prices just now, just to tease Yun Chuhuan.
After all, she had been with her for so long, and it was just a matter of treating her to a meal at her own restaurant. With her current wealth, it was still no pressure at all.
He asked the driver to make a circle and get off the carriage outside the side door of the unfinished backyard.
Yun Chuhuan followed Yun Shu, walking along the road, curiously looking at the scattered and strange things in the courtyard:
"Fifth sister, is this the courtyard you mentioned before that is connected to the restaurant but will open later?
Why isn't there even a plaque on the door outside? And this place doesn't look very attractive!"
"Nothing attractive has been made yet. It's just an ordinary courtyard now. Of course it won't attract you. As for the plaque..."
Yun Shu raised his leg and crossed the round stone door connecting the courtyard to the Tianwaitian Restaurant in front, then turned back and pointed:
"Because it's not finished yet, we've only hung this plaque inside for now."
"Xianting?"
Yun Chuhuan raised his head, glanced at the two large characters written in a flamboyant style on the plaque, and shook his head solemnly:
"Why did you choose such a name? It doesn't sound like a restaurant at all."
"Don't be frightened by the humiliation, just watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court; go and stay with no intentions, and the sky is full of clouds."
Yun Shu casually opened the back door of Tianwaitian Restaurant and explained:
"Xian Ting and Tian Wai Tian are a perfect match. The most important thing is that you can associate my name with it as soon as you hear it."
"Is this the poem you wrote yourself, Fifth Sister?"
Yun Chuhuan muttered softly:
"Who else but you could have put it all together?"
Yun Shu: “…”
I forgot that there were no such two sentences in Tiansheng Dynasty. Never mind, it's not important.
I walked into the restaurant calmly. Unlike the freezing cold weather outside, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was early summer in the restaurant.
The waiters in uniform are conscientiously making the final preparations before the opening.
In the kitchen, the cold dishes that could be kept for a little longer had already been prepared. They were put into pots early and neatly arranged on a long row of special racks. They could not be moved easily, let alone knocked over.
“This is so inelegant!”
Yun Chuhuan suddenly understood why the first floor only cost 500 coins per person.
There isn’t even a nice-looking plate, all dishes are served in bowls...etc.
Yun Chuhuan suddenly realized something, with an expression that said, "Fifth sister, you are such a person!"
"Fifth sister, you did this on purpose, didn't you? You put the dishes in a bowl on purpose so that the guests couldn't finish even one dish and wouldn't think about the other ninety-nine dishes!
In other words, the fact that you can eat 100 dishes with 500 coins is just a gimmick.
In fact, even if one is the biggest eater, after spending 500 coins, he can only eat two dishes at best!"
"If we really do what the Sixth Prince said, our Tianwaitian Restaurant will probably go bankrupt in one day."
When Tang Xinhua came over, she happened to hear Yun Chuhuan's words and couldn't help but chuckle:
“When we say 100 dishes, it means 100 dishes.”
"But……"
Yun Chuhuan still looked confused, and Yun Shu could only remind him helplessly:
"Didn't you notice that all the dishes are put together in this area? There are plates too, under the shelf."
"Sixth Prince, you can take a look over there."
Tang Xinhua also pointed to the entrance.
There was a huge sign over there, with a few lines of characters clearly written on it:
[Each person should not exceed one hour each time.]
Take only as much as you eat, do not waste or take away. Violators will be fined 100 coins. 】
There was a waiter standing next to the sign... Oh, Sister Five said that's called a waiter.
If nothing unexpected happens, this person's job is to inform all customers of what is written on the sign.
"Our first and second floors are all self-service. After paying, customers can pick up their food here and eat whatever they want and as much as they want."
Tang Xinhua explained carefully:
“If there are guests who like the food at our Tian Wai Tian Restaurant but don’t like the buffet format, the third floor is like other restaurants and guests can order dishes individually.
As for the fourth floor, there are ten private rooms, which are suitable for guests who value privacy more and do not like to appear in the hall with too many people.
Tianwaitian Restaurant strives to meet the needs of all guests. ”
"Fifth sister, let's go upstairs and take a look!"
Yun Chuhuan still remembered Yun Shu's previous offer.
The first floor costs five hundred coins per person, and the second floor costs ten taels of silver per person!
Since both are buffets, he wants to see what the difference is between the dishes on the second floor and the first floor!
I turned around excitedly and went up to the second floor.
Yun Chuhuan’s first impression was that the overall environment on the second floor was indeed much more elegant than that on the first floor.
Sets of carved tables and chairs were placed in an orderly manner in the hall, and a space was left empty in the front for a semicircular platform.
The tulle was lightly gathered. If nothing unexpected happened, there should be some performances by musicians or dancers.
