Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

"It smells so good."

As soon as the beautifully presented dishes were served, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

Although everyone had smelled the aroma of these dishes outside the restaurant before, when the dishes were placed in front of them, everyone realized that the fragrant aroma they just smelled was not even half of what it was now.

"Is this an exotic vegetable?"

"Why is the color of this vegetable purple?" Someone looked at the color of eggplant and felt extremely curious.

"Let someone try this exotic vegetable. What's so special about it?"

Finally, someone couldn't stand the temptation of the aroma and was the first to use chopsticks.

The first thing this person picked up was the fried eggplant with sauce, because among all the exotic vegetables, the color of eggplant is the most brilliant and strange. And the moment he just put the eggplant into his mouth, this person's face showed a look that was visible to the naked eye. Speed, showing an intoxicating look.

Seeing this, the others also reached out and picked up their chopsticks...

The next second.

Various emotions appeared on everyone's faces one after another.

"tasty!"

“What a rich taste.”

"The taste of these exotic vegetables is truly unique."

"No, it's not just the vegetables, but also the seasonings. The seasonings here are the key."

"Indeed, and the cooking techniques of these dishes are also extremely rare. I have traveled to various countries over the years, and I have only seen similar cooking techniques in Songhai, the land of Qilu."

Waves of exclamations continued to come from everyone's mouths.

Among these people, there are many gourmets who have been immersed in food for many years. They can see almost at a glance that the reason why these dishes are so delicious is not just because of the unique raw materials.

What really makes a difference in the taste of these dishes are the seasonings and the secret cooking techniques of the chef.

However, these secret seasonings and cooking techniques are obviously the secret techniques of Baichuan Restaurant, and cannot be easily disclosed to diners like them.

So the people at the dinner table just asked casually: "Waiter, where do you get the seasonings in this dish?"

The person who originally spoke didn't really expect to get the answer, but just subconsciously asked one more question out of business habits.

Unexpectedly, the waiter actually replied: "As far as I know, all the ingredients and seasonings in our restaurant come from Hanzhong County. If you are interested in the dishes in our restaurant, just go to Hanzhong and let us know."

The words just fell.

Not only the person who asked just now, but also the guests at the table and nearby tables all suddenly raised their heads and stared at the waiter.

"Is this true?"

"I don't dare to deceive all our distinguished guests," the waiter said respectfully.

After hearing this, many people were immediately ready to take action, but some people remained calm and did not believe it immediately. Instead, they narrowed their eyes and expressed some doubts.

"Boy, does it really matter if you tell us such confidential information like this? Aren't you afraid that the bosses will cause trouble for you?"

The waiter said 'hey' and said: "Hey~~ This guest guest is overthinking. What I said is not a secret. Nowadays, the entire Hanzhong is covered with exotic vegetables. And although those exotic spices The number is small, but it will not be long before they are sold to the outside world, and the small ones are just selling favors to distinguished guests."

"Actually, even if there are a few distinguished guests, no matter how small they are, it is estimated that within a few days, such goods will appear on the market in Xianyang."

Having said this, the waiter smiled mysteriously and continued: "What's more, the real secret of this restaurant is not in these dishes. The third floor and above are the real good places of this restaurant!"

Wow!

As the waiter finished speaking, many of the customers who were sitting at the table suddenly became unable to sit still.

"I still have something important to do. Please be patient. I will take the first step."

"me too."

"Waiter, the meal money is here."

"I'll give you one gold, no need to change."

A group of people stood up one after another, took out their coins and put them on the table, and then walked out of the restaurant without stopping.

In the blink of an eye.

The lobby on the first floor, which had been crowded just now, suddenly became empty, with only three or four guests left sitting at the table with blank expressions, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Seeing these people leaving in a hurry without even taking a bite of their food, the waiter not only did not stop them, but actually watched them leave with a smile.

Wait until these people have walked out of the door.

The waiter then collected the food on the table, called other waiters to clean up the dishes on the table one by one, and then comforted the remaining guests.

After that, the waiter picked up a few new dishes and walked up to the third floor.

The weather has been getting cooler recently.

The temperature on the second floor was still a little low, but after walking up to the third floor, the temperature on the entire floor suddenly rose several degrees. In today's somewhat cool weather, not only did I not feel the slightest bit of cold, but it actually made me feel a little hot. People want to take off their clothes.

When the waiter went upstairs.

Several customers who had previously opened private rooms on the third floor have now taken off their coats and are walking around the room with curious expressions on their faces.

"Boy, how do you do this in this restaurant?"

The faces of several people in the room were full of surprise. They originally thought that the waiter said that "the third floor is as warm as spring" was just burning more charcoal on the third floor to increase the temperature.

However, when they actually arrived on the third floor, they found that there was no smell of charcoal at all.

But the temperature on the third floor was really much higher than that on the first and second floors. Not long after they came up, they were already so hot that they couldn't help but take off their thick coats.

They also took a look at the 'public bath' on the third floor.

have to say.

The scale of that bath also surprised them.

"Baths" are not very common nowadays, because with the current construction technology, the green bricks cannot be sealed well, and water can easily leak if you are not careful.

Especially the larger the bath, the more likely it is that problems will arise.

So now, even in many wealthy families, they usually use wooden buckets or build a small bathtub for bathing.

And it’s hard not to be shocked by a large bathhouse like the one on the third floor of Baichuan Restaurant.

What's more puzzling to them is how Baichuan Restaurant manages to maintain the temperature of the bath water at all times. You know, when they usually take a bath at home, they need servants to frequently add hot water to maintain the temperature.

However, the 'public bath' here has no servants at all, and the water inside can be kept warm at all times, which is really difficult for them to understand.

"Hey, guests, this is going to put you in a bit of a quandary. The third floor and above of this restaurant are all secrets of the owner. I really can't answer your small questions!"

The waiter placed the dishes on the table one by one, and when he heard several people's questions, he suddenly looked embarrassed.

See this.

Several people in the private room on the third floor also realized that their question was not appropriate.

So he sat back down and took a bite of the dishes on the table. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "It's delicious. It's indeed exotic. Waiter, your restaurant is really a childlike person!"

to be honest.

Originally, a few people didn't say anything about spending a gold coin to enter the third floor, but they actually felt a little bit at a loss in their hearts.

But when they came to the third floor and saw so many 'magic' things they had never seen before, they soon felt that this gold coin was not in vain.

And now that several people have tasted the food in the restaurant, they feel that this gold coin is not only not a loss, but also a bit of a gain.

"By the way, waiter, what were those people on the first floor doing just now?"

While they were enjoying their meal, they suddenly remembered what they had just seen on the third floor and asked.

"Those distinguished guests must have gone to Hanzhong!"

The waiter responded.

After speaking, he repeated what he had just said to the guests on the first floor.

After listening to the waiter's words, several people in the private room on the third floor suddenly paused while eating: "Wait~~ You mean, the exotic vegetables, seasonings, and even cooking techniques in your restaurant can all be bought in Hanzhong? "

"Yes!"

The waiter answered honestly.

In an instant.

The expressions of the people on the third floor suddenly solidified.

At this moment, several people felt that the delicious food in their mouths no longer tasted good, and then they looked at each other. The next second, they stood up suddenly, took a handful of gold coins and put them on the table.

Bang~~

"I have something else to do. I'll leave the meal money here. There's no need to look for it."

Finished.

Seeing that the group of people didn't even have time to put on their coats, they hurriedly opened the door and walked out of the private room.

The waiter did not stop him, and watched the group leave with a smile on his face. He then skillfully put away the gold coins on the table, and then called in a few waiters to start cleaning up the mess on the table.

that's all.

Baichuan Restaurant attracts a wave of customers almost every quarter of an hour.

However, almost every wave of guests would leave in a hurry after staying in the restaurant for less than half an hour...

·······

The top floor of the restaurant at this time.

Wearing court clothes that he had not yet taken off, Mr. Mo sat quietly by the window, watching the waves of guests leaving in a hurry.

In the room, the shopkeeper of Baichuan Restaurant was standing in front of Mr. Mo respectfully. He bent down and said, "Sir, according to your instructions, the news has been spread."

"Um!"

Mo Jun nodded slightly.

After the restaurant owner saw Mo Jun respond, he had no other words. After waiting quietly for a long time, he still couldn't help but hesitantly said: "Um... Sir, is this really okay? If you let these After everyone learns this 'cooking' skill, will it have an impact on the restaurant's business?"

"After all, even the chefs in our restaurant have received professional training from Chef Ding, but there are so many capable people in the world, just in case..."

The restaurant owner didn't finish his words, but his meaning was already obvious.

to be honest.

In fact, the restaurant owner is still a little puzzled by Mo Jun's series of operations. After all, no one who owns a restaurant in the world would take the initiative to tell others his business secrets.

Isn't this obviously creating competitors for yourself?

However, regarding the restaurant owner's concerns, Mo Jun waved his hand indifferently and said: "It doesn't matter. As long as the restaurant in Xianyang can maintain the advantage of being above the third floor, the business will not be so easily affected."

"All I ask of you is that the business here does not suffer losses. As for the rest, you don't have to worry too much."
