It was almost noon when Su Jin and Xiao Sui'er left Su Ji Buzhuang. The steward of Su Ji Buzhuang had a meal for lunch, but Su Jin didn't want to eat here.
I originally went out for shopping this time to have fun, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing, and I couldn't ignore it, which wasted a lot of time. Although the sunshine was warm, it already felt a little burning when it shone on my body, and the air was filled with
Smelling the mouth-watering aroma of the food, my stomach, which had been filled with all kinds of snacks, had already deflated, and now it started to growl.
"Xiao Sui'er, how about we go find a restaurant to eat and enjoy the delicious food in our Luzhou City?" Su Jin said to the little girl next to him with a smile.
Xiao Sui'er has already taken a special look at Su Jin. In the past, she would definitely have expressed her own opinion, but now her words have changed to: "Everything is at the command of the young master."
Su Jin said: "Don't just listen to my instructions. I'm not familiar with the city. I haven't gone out to eat a few times since I was so old. You are more familiar with it than me. You have to be a guide to make an idea."
Xiao Sui'er flapped her eyes and said, "My maid may not necessarily think it tastes good to you, but last time my maid and my wife went out to do errands, they had lunch at a restaurant called "Hefeng House".
The food upstairs was quite delicious, and at that time, my wife even said that she would invite the cook from "He Feng House" to come to our house to teach Aunt Zhang."
Su Jin pulled her little arm and said, "Then let's go to Hefeng Tower. Is it far?"
"It's not far, just by the river in front. The place is very elegant." Xiao Sui'er stretched out her hand and pointed forward.
Su Jin looked in the direction pointed by her little hand, and saw a green willow smoke cage on the cross street in front of her. Judging from the north-south direction, it was really a river in the city, with lush green trees on both sides.
The two of them quickly approached the river. A quaint and solid stone arch bridge spanned the east and west banks of the river. Along the river were a row of antique buildings with blue bricks and red tiles, including dozens of restaurants.
Su Jin secretly marveled that it was really not built in this era. The restaurant was luxurious and elegant and the location was unique. When dining in such a restaurant, the taste of the food is secondary. The elegant and quiet environment alone is worth visiting.
The two of them walked not far along the river. A three-story red building stood proudly by the river. On both sides of the tall gatehouse, red lanterns were hung high. A gold signboard with a black background read three large Chinese characters "Hefeng Tower" with flying phoenixes. The restaurant was full of people.
The seats were packed; Su Jin secretly admired it and stepped into the building. Suddenly, a thin young man dressed in plain clothes and a blue hat appeared next to him. Su Jin was startled.
The man bowed in salute and said with a strong smile on his face: "This young master, Yang Xiaosi, will be at your service."
Su Jin didn't know what was going on. Seeing that this man was dressed completely differently from the waiters inside, he didn't seem to be a waiter in this restaurant, so he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Xiao Sui'er was well-informed, so she whispered something in Su Jin's ear, and Su Jin realized that Yang Xiao Si was actually a kind of idler called "Bang Xian". They appeared in various restaurants, assisting restaurants.
The waiters do some errands and deliver letters for the guests and earn some rewards.
Xiao Sui'er waved her little hand and said, "I will take care of my young master, so I won't bother you to show your courtesy."
The faces of the idle Yang Xiaos dimmed, and they turned away with their hands slightly disappointed, ready to aim at the next target. Su Jin's heart moved, this kind of people in the market was the best channel for him to understand this era, and looking at this Yang Xiao
Although Si was wearing plain clothes and short clothes, he was neat and clean and not annoying. As long as he was not a gangster, Su Jin didn't mind chatting with him.
"This brother is staying here, so I will use you to help him." Su Jin stopped Yang Xiaosi.
Yang Xiaosi was overjoyed and turned around and bowed quickly: "Thank you very much, sir. I'm waiting for you."
Su Jin smiled and said: "Let's see what skills you have first. I see that there are many guests in this restaurant. If you can help me arrange a private room upstairs by the window, I will be rewarded later."
Yang Xiaosi smiled and said: "Young master, just look at me, I hope you two are satisfied." After saying that, he turned around and ran quickly into the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant.
Xiao Sui'er pouted and said: "Why do you invite these people to help? Xiao Sui'er can't serve you well?"
Su Jin flicked her forehead and said: "I see you just can't bear to give up money. What's the point of making money? Making money is for enjoyment. Today you are going shopping with me to have fun. I can't let you be sent here and there by me, otherwise
If you don't come out with me, you won't come out with me."
Xiao Sui'er giggled and said, "How could that be possible? How dare you disobey the master's orders?"
Su Jin laughed and said: "What does it mean if you are forced to do something? You have to be willing."
Xiao Sui'er bulged her eyes and thought for a long time, but she still couldn't figure out the difference between the two. At this moment, Yang Xiaosi had already ran out of the restaurant and said with a smile on his face: "You two, please come to the third floor."
Su Jin smiled and said: "If you have some skills, you can find a seat now?"
Yang Xiaosi said: "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
The two of them talked while the other entered the restaurant under the leadership of Yang Xiaosi, and strolled up the wide wooden stairs made of red lacquered solid wood. Su Jinyou looked around and saw various calligraphy and painting scrolls hanging on the walls of the restaurant.
The calligraphy on the painting is elegant and graceful.
On the third floor, various styles of sandalwood screens block out a dozen open small private rooms. The screen is seven or eight feet high, close to the top of the building, making the private rooms more dazzling. The maids, peonies, landscapes, flowers and birds, and the exquisite pen and ink on the screen are very pleasing to the eye.
.
The entrance to each private room is blocked by a nearly five-foot-wide green gauze curtain. Walking in the aisle, you can only see the vague figures of the diners inside, but you can imagine that this design ensures that the diners are safe without looking stuffy.
Su Jin's eyes were opened. This was the first time in his life that he had entered a restaurant with such an atmosphere. There were security guards standing at the door in later generations, huge fake antique vases vulgarly placed in the hall, and leaders hanging on the pillars.
Or the so-called several-star hotels where celebrities take photos with hotel managers are simply inferior compared to this place.
Su Jinqiang suppressed the admiration in his heart. He couldn't act like a country bumpkin. Even his little maid and this idle gang of Yang Xiaosi were used to these things. He couldn't lose his dignity in front of them no matter what.
Their box is in the first one at the south end, right next to the two windows on the south and west. It allows for good ventilation and allows you to enjoy two completely different scenery. It is obviously the best location here.
Su Jin raised his big finger and said to Yang Xiaosi: "Yes, you have some skills. I will double the reward for your thoughtfulness."
Yang Xiaosi smiled and said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Young Master. I also think that Mr. Young Master is an elegant man, and I have a good eye for him. Ordinary guests, I will definitely not bother to arrange such a good seat for him."
Xiaosui'er pouted and said, "You are good at flattering me, but where is the waiter? Why haven't you come yet?" After saying that, he stretched his neck and called out "Xiao Er, Xiao Er".
Yang Xiaosi said with a bitter face: "Young lady, you have misunderstood the villain. Naturally, we helpers have to iron the clothes of the guests. How can this be flattering?"
Su Jin smiled and said: "Kid, don't be as knowledgeable as her. How do you make a living doing this idle business?"
Yang Xiaosi said: "It's just a living. Every day I get some reward money to go home and give it to my mother to spend the day. If I meet a more generous man, I can save some, and I will help save some, so that I can find a wife in the future."
The corner of Su Jin's mouth moved, but she wanted to say something but couldn't. At this moment, the restaurant waiter wearing a blue coat with a snow-white cloth draped over his shoulders came in through the curtain carrying a porcelain pot of tea. Yang Xiaosi helped take the teapot and put the two
Dip the tea into a small purple clay teacup and pour two cups of tea neatly into it.
"Master, what do you two want to use?" the waiter wiped the table again and asked enthusiastically.
"Do you have any special dishes in your restaurant?" Su Jin showed his timidity with just one sentence.
The waiter smiled and said, "Isn't the young master a member of our Luzhou Prefecture?"
Su Jin said in astonishment: "How can you say this?"
The waiter smiled and said: "What if I, from Luzhou Prefecture, don't know our and Fenglou's special dishes? We and Fenglou..."
"What's the big deal between you and Fenglou?" Xiao Sui'er got mad, "My young master is the only son of the Su family in Luzhou Prefecture. With just one word from you, he was kicked out of Luzhou Prefecture or what?"
The waiter and Yang Xiaosi were both stunned. The Su family in Luzhou Prefecture was one of the four rich families in Luzhou. Their family had a fortune of tens of millions and acres of land. They owned more than a dozen businesses in Luzhou City. Everyone in Luzhou Prefecture knew who was who.
No one knew it, but the young master in front of him turned out to be the master of the Su family. This surprise was no small matter.
"It turns out it's Mr. Su. I'm sorry for my stupidity, but I'm sorry for the offence." The two of them bowed quickly and saluted.
Su Jin smiled and said: "My dear, Su Jin, I don't go out much. I'm a bit ignorant. Could you please help me introduce the dishes at Hefenglou?"
The waiter saw that Su Jin didn't have the domineering appearance of a wealthy young man, but on the contrary, he was amiable and friendly, and felt good about him. He calmed down and said: "Master Su, He Feng Lou's special dishes vary with the seasons. The current special dishes are: Huai Baiyu cooked in wine."
, Maofeng shrimps, Kung Pao quail, pigeon eggs with cloud slices, braised roasted duck with chicken, mixed smelt with clear sauce..."
The waiter reported more than a dozen kinds of treasures in one breath. Su Jin waited for him to finish and said, "No more?"
The waiter rolled his eyes and said, "A lot of ingredients are in short supply in April, and there are nearly fifty kinds of Hefenglou special dishes."
"Have a plate of each of the dozen kinds you just mentioned." Su Jin said.
"What?" Everyone from the restaurant waiter to Xiao Sui'er thought they heard wrong. These dozen or so dishes are all top-notch dishes. Such a table of dishes costs at least five or six dollars. This man has a lot of money. Don't you know?
One meal can consume an average person's household expenses for several months. Moreover, ordering so many dishes for two people is really a waste and cannot be finished at all.
Su Jin said: "What's wrong? Can't we make them all? Just two less. I'll come back to eat next time."
The waiter hurriedly said: "That's not true. There are no incomplete dishes at Hefenglou. I just think that the two of you can't eat more than a dozen dishes if you order them. Besides, they're not cheap."
Su Jin is more interested in this restaurant. If it were at another restaurant, I would hope that you order as much as possible, regardless of whether you finish eating or not. This restaurant is strange. If you order too much, you will stop them. It's really
