Now instead of raising conditions, the Gu family began to question the character and ability of their second son, whom Han Jianguo was proud of. This made Old Han feel angry and proud at the same time.
So Lao Han said easily: "Don't worry about this. My son has graduated from college. Now he just wants to take the civil service exam. If he really goes out to look for a job, what kind of job can he not find? If my son really becomes a cadre,
It’s absolutely no problem to make money to support your family.”
Seeing Lao Han swearing to be honest with his son, Gu Xiaozhan didn't know what to say.
At this time, Lao Han was completely proud: "Go out, tomorrow is the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. It's a good day. My aunt is from Modu. I will ask him to come to propose marriage tomorrow. I wonder where you will stay?"
Lao Han happily arranged a date with Lao Gu, and began to talk about how his family would love Gu Xiaomiao in the future and how he would treat her well, so that Lao Gu must rest assured.
After he had nothing to boast about, everyone had almost eaten.
"Boss, go check out." Finally, Old Han scolded Fang Qiu.
This old Han is very powerful, but if he is still so powerful after a while, Han Peacock will really admire him.
Han Peacock smiled very gently without any retort, but he did not move, but clicked a few times on the tablet on the table, so he was not as obedient as he smiled.
"You can call the waiters here, they will be here soon." Han Kongque said.
Sure enough, as soon as Han Kongque finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. When he came in, knowing that they wanted to pay, the waiter handed over the bill directly.
"In-laws, we are here to settle the bill. This is our first meeting. We can't let you spend money." When Gu Chengli saw that the bill was about to be settled, he naturally stood up and refused. Of course, the woman would definitely not pay the bill, and it should belong to the man.
matter.
Therefore, Han Jianguo was no longer confused. He said very cooperatively: "How can I let you pay the bill? The first time we meet for dinner, it should be our husband's. This rule must be followed. Lao Gu, don't be polite to me."
After giving up to Yifan, Han Jianguo took the bill and looked at it for a while. He didn't understand it: "I can't understand it, so just tell me how much it costs?"
Although he said this, Han Jianguo still handed the bill in his hand to Han Rongrong beside him, meaning to let Han Rongrong take a look and see if there was anything wrong.
"Sir, the total is six thousand three hundred and sixty yuan. Thank you for your patronage." The waiter said politely.
"How much? More than six thousand? Why is it so expensive?" Han Rongrong and Han Jianguo screamed almost at the same time.
"What? More than six thousand?" The Gu family on the side also shouted in surprise.
Only Han Kongque was not surprised, but he wouldn't say anything. Old Han had blown all the bullshit just now, so of course there was a way to pay the bill.
"Why is it so expensive? You don't think we are outsiders and want to trick us, right? By the way, your boss is a fellow countryman of ours!" Lao Han stuttered and said to the waiter.
The waiter's attitude did not change, he still smiled so sweetly and said: "Dear guests, there is a menu in each of our private rooms, which is the one you use to order. There is a price at the end of each dish.
Moreover, just because you and the boss are from the same hometown, your dishes are always served in quadruple portions, and we do not charge private room service fees.
If you have any objections to the price, you can take a look at your order menu, which is on the tablet over there. It has your consumption records."
Han Guangrong moved very quickly. He got together like Old Han and fiddled with the tablet computer embedded on the table. Soon, they all found out their consumption records.
"That hand-washing crab only costs 200 yuan each?" Han Guangrong knew that crabs are expensive. But they were not so expensive. You know, these days, he eats a lot of swimming crabs brought back by Han Peacock. If he knew that one would cost 200 yuan.
100, he couldn't bear to eat it, it would be great to take it out and sell it.
"Yes, customer, we use swimming crabs that have just been caught. Each one weighs more than one kilogram. The wholesale price of such crabs is one hundred yuan per kilogram, so the price of two hundred yuan is really not expensive. And
The ginger-vinegar-osmanthus crab is also 200 yuan each. Selling a crab at this price makes us no money at all." The waiter had a very good attitude and answered all questions.
Han Kongque was very satisfied with this waiter. He really didn’t know where Chen Qing found such a skilled person. This restaurant had not been open for a long time, so he didn’t expect the waiter’s quality to be so high.
"Isn't two hundred dollars a piece expensive?" Han Jianguo murmured to himself.
At this time, Gu Xiaozhan also came to Han Rongrong's side. Although he didn't like Han Rongrong, he would be his sister's husband after all. With such an expensive banquet, they were afraid of being cheated.
"Ten hand-washed crabs cost 2,000 yuan, ham braised elbows cost 280 yuan, pigeon eggs cost 180 yuan, eggplant and fish cost 380 yuan, ten ginger-vinegar osmanthus crabs cost 2,000 yuan, chicken marrow and bamboo shoots cost 580 yuan,
Braised quail is 280 yuan, roasted venison is 380 yuan, braised duck is 380 yuan, sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup is 280 yuan, is this a restaurant? Is this a black shop?" After reading the menu, Gu Xiaozhan
Also angry.
"Why do pigeon eggs cost 180 yuan? How many pigeon eggs do you need to buy for 180 yuan?" Gu Chengli also said angrily.
Although the guest was very angry, the waiter was still so calm. She explained again in a very beautiful voice: "Dear guest..."
"Don't be noble. No matter how noble you are, we will stay here with you and clean your dishes for the rest of our lives. Just tell us what's going on and why a bowl of pigeon eggs costs 180."
Although Han Jianguo was very angry, he didn't choose the most expensive crab to talk about. They knew that the crab was really expensive, two hundred yuan a piece, so they really didn't say anything.
"That's it. Please look at the tablet and click on the pigeon eggs. The general method of making pigeon eggs is below. Please look at the column of secret seasonings. It lists some precious materials and processes in detail.
As long as you read it, you will know that we did not overcharge you at all. When you ate pigeon eggs just now, did you feel that you couldn't hold your tongue, so there was not a single pigeon egg left in a big pot of pigeon eggs?
This is the strength of our Red Mansion Restaurant. The simpler something is, the more effort our chefs spend on it, so it is more delicious. For you to spend such a small amount of money and eat such delicious pigeon eggs, it is definitely a bargain.
value."
"Then what's going on with this eggplant? Isn't this just fried eggplant? It's actually more expensive than venison, and a pot like this costs three hundred and eighty yuan." Gu Chengli paid attention to this dish when he was eating.
.Although it is delicious, he still researched it and found out that this is a fried eggplant dish.
"Please look at the tablet computer. There are also detailed records on it. Of course, if you are impatient, I can also introduce it. This is our essential homework. Young people should have heard of the name Qiequn. Our hotel is called the Red Mansion.
The restaurant, the food here is naturally related to the famous book Dream of Red Mansions, and Qie Kun is from the Dream of Red Mansions."
Han Guangrong ordered the eggplant and eggplant. The eggplant and eggplant is the most detailed dish in "A Dream of Red Mansions", and the preparation method is very complicated.
Pick the eggplant, first remove the skin, clean the flesh, cut it into small pieces, fry it with chicken, then add the chicken breast meat with fragrant mushrooms, new bamboo shoots, mushrooms, spiced dried bean curd, and various dried fruits.
Cut into cubes, simmer with chicken broth, add sesame oil, mix with stale oil, seal tightly in a porcelain jar, take it out when you want to eat. Mix with fried chicken and melon seeds.
As for whether it tastes good or not, just look at Grandma Liu’s performance in Dream of Red Mansions. It says: This dish is extraordinary and everyone has seen it before.
Also, the pronunciation of the word "鲞" is xiǎng, "鲞". It is dried fish cut open and dried, such as "beef fish", "bamboo shoots", etc., which are pickled in vinegar and made into dried flakes, "eggplant fish"
", when it is dried eggplant cut into slices and pickled.
So in the future, if someone asks you to treat you to a meal, don’t be unhappy. This meal is definitely a good thing.
After seeing such a complicated process, Han Rongrong and the others were all speechless. At this time, they had no shame in being too expensive. Who allowed them to eat with such peace of mind? No one thought of checking the price in advance.
"Guests should be satisfied. You see, the dishes in our Red Mansion Restaurant are all served on this kind of flat plate, but the one used on your table is obviously different, and the portions are all larger. So our boss really
I've taken great care of you." Finally, the waiter concluded.
"Looking at it this way, the food here is really not expensive." Old Han's hands and feet were trembling a little, but he didn't say it out loud. Although the food was worth the money, he really couldn't afford it!
This involves picking new eggplant buns from April or May, removing all the skin and rinds, cleaning the meat, cutting it into hair-thin shreds, and drying it in the sun. You also need to use a fat hen to make the old soup.
Come on, put the shredded eggplant on the chicken soup steamed in the steamer to infuse it with flavor, then take it out and dry it in the sun.
After nine steamings and nine dryings, it will definitely become crispy. Put it in a porcelain jar and seal it tightly. When you want to eat it, take out a plate and mix it with fried chicken and melon seeds.
To make such a dish, you have to use more than a dozen chickens to go with it. Such fried eggplants are really not affordable for ordinary people.
"Boss, I don't have enough cash, you can swipe your card!" Lao Han hesitated again and again, but chose to live in a wealthy family. His eldest son is rich and can afford a house worth more than three million yuan. How can he not have money?
Han Peacock smiled and said, "Well, do you still have the card I applied for you last time? Just use that card to swipe it."
Han Peacock didn't look at the frozen smile on Lao Han's face, but he saw Han Rongxia who was struggling to speak. Han Peacock blinked at her, directly frightening what Han Rongxia wanted to say back.
From now on, she will make a living under her elder brother. Han Rongxia has already known clearly from Han Rongrong who she can offend and who she cannot offend.
Han Peacock didn't give Old Han time to react. He directly took out a card from the wallet that Old Han took out just now.
Han Peacock remembered that he had given Lao Han more than 8,000 yuan last time. With Lao Han's careful calculation, the money in it must be enough to pay the bill.
There was a card swiping machine on the table, and Han Peacock swiped it directly, not forgetting to kindly remind Old Han: "Dad, just enter the password and then sign the bill. You can also let Glory sign on your behalf."
Han Jianguo's old face no longer belonged to him at this time. He was distressed and anxious. This meal cost him more than 6,000 yuan. It was really impossible to live this life.
Han Jianguo wanted to have a fit, but it was Han Kongque who brought them here! But his in-laws were still here, and he couldn't bear to talk about Han Kongque.
Thinking that just now he asked Han Kongque to ask about the price of the banquet here and said that he would serve wine here, now that he thought of this, he wanted to go there.
Old Han paid the bill with a sad face, but Han Peacock didn't seem to let him go just like that, so he said again: "Dad, and Uncle Gu, are you eating well?"
Gu Chengcheng felt a little annoyed and said: "It's very good. The food is very good, but the price is too expensive, and it costs a lot of money for the in-laws!"
"It's okay. Isn't it just a meal?" At this point, Lao Han could only pretend to be fat in public.
Han Kongque suppressed his laughter and said: "As long as you are satisfied. The owner of this restaurant is my friend. Since both parties are satisfied with the meal, we will arrange the wedding banquet of Glory and Xiaomiao here!"
Although the food here is a bit expensive, it is more affordable. If we bring the drinks ourselves, the price will not be higher. Besides, we don’t have many relatives and friends in Shanghai, and we can’t spend much money. If we bring the drinks ourselves in the future,
If you want to make up for it when you get home, then we can have a banquet for relatives and friends from both sides."
Lao Han really wanted to say that we won't do it here anymore, but what he just said has already been said. Now he has no shame in saying that he won't do it here anymore, so he can only make excuses with a grimace and pretend to be fat.
Of course, the Gu family wouldn't say anything. They felt they had wronged their daughter by marrying off her daughter in such a hurry, so now they naturally have no objection to hosting a banquet in such a good hotel. After all, this is something that can increase their daughter's face.
After settling the bill, everyone felt relaxed. No matter how much money was spent, it was useless to feel bad about it, so Lao Han didn't feel bad about the money now. After all, he had gained face in front of his in-laws.
While Han Kongque was drinking tea, he asked some things about Han Rongxia. When Han Rongxia came this time, she naturally did not plan to go back. She also wanted to go to school in Shanghai.
Han Rongxia now thinks clearly that the second brother is getting married. The family will definitely not spend less money. It turns out that Lao Han doesn't want Han Rongxia to study. Now if Han Guangrong gets married and spends all the family's money, then Lao Han will
It is absolutely impossible for her to go to school again.
So when she came out from home this time, Han Rongxia tried to reduce her presence as much as possible. She didn't speak if she could, so as to give Han Kongque a good impression so that Han Kongque could take her in.
Han Kongque asked about Han Rongxia's grades and found that Han Rongxia's grades were actually pretty good, which made Han Rongrong a little happy.
Although their family has a college student, it is only a third-rate university. If Han Rongxia studies hard, he might be able to get into Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.
After drinking two pots of tea, both parties had finished what they needed to say. Gu Chengli stood up and wanted to leave. Lao Han hurriedly sent the family away, but he had no intention of leaving.
"Dad, aren't we leaving?" Han Guangrong asked.
Han Jianguo said while seeing the Gu family off, "We'll stay a little longer and ask about the banquet. If you can't make a reservation in advance for such a big hotel, you won't be able to reserve a seat then."
Han Peacock looked at Old Han strangely, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
Han Guangrong was speechless. Is this Han still serious?
However, if the wedding can be held here, Han Guangrong will naturally not object.
At first he looked down on Chen Qing's family, but when he came to his restaurant, he realized that they were really making money. Judging from the fact that the entire restaurant was packed, the daily turnover of this restaurant must be an astonishing figure.
At this time, Han Guangrong only had awe for Chen Qing's family. No matter how brainless or arrogant he was, he knew that he would not be able to achieve such an achievement. At least within a few years or more, he would be
It is absolutely impossible to have such an achievement.
Returning to the box, Old Han sat down on the chair: "Peacock, ask them for a pot of tea again. You have eaten too much, so you need to drink more water. The tea they have here is pretty good."
Han Kongque smiled and said nothing. He just clicked on the tablet. What he ordered was just ordinary tea. Anyone who eats here will receive it for free. If he is not satisfied, he can also ask for better tea. Of course,
, that kind of tea is expensive.
Although Han Kongque did not participate in the opening ceremony of the Red Mansion Restaurant, Han Kongque was featured in all the recipes in the restaurant, so he was familiar with everything here.
If Lao Han doesn't take advantage of you enough, you can't give him a chance to slap his nose in the face. It would be nice to let him drink some free tea.
"Dad, are we really going to hold a banquet here?" Han Guangrong said impatiently as soon as he sat down.
Old Han said angrily: "What kind of banquet are we going to have? Then we will say that there is no room here. Looking at the busy scene of this hotel, it is definitely okay for us to say so."
"It's okay, let's drink this pot of tea and leave! Glory must not have slept well these days." Han Kongque said.
"Brother, how are you going to compensate me? It must be because of you that I'm in trouble this time." At this time, Han Guangrong remembered the injustice he had suffered. It was such a dark five days!
Han Peacock smiled and said: "After staying in the cage for five days, I will help you do one thing! You can say whatever you want. Of course, if I can achieve it, don't say anything that is unrealistic.
.”
"Huh?" Han Guangrong looked at Han Peacock in confusion, when did his eldest brother become so good?
"What if I want one million?" Han Guangrong hesitated and asked.
Han Peacock's smile did not change: "Yes, but you have to think carefully, but this is only one chance."
Seeing Han Guangrong's hesitation, Han Peacock smiled even brighter, while the old Han couple and Han Rongxia on the side were a little surprised.
"Peacock, are you serious? One million can be given to your brother?" Lao Han was excited. Just now he was worried about not having enough money to celebrate his second son's wedding, but now he is so lucky that his eldest son is willing to bleed.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "Really, if Glory wants one million, that's fine. I'll prepare it for you. You can get it by any means when you get married."
"Boss, I've grown up. I can get enough with just one million. That's right! You are brothers, so you should help each other." Han Jianguo expressed great relief.
Han Peacock said to Han Guangrong: "What do you say? Do you really want one million?"
Seeing Han Peacock like that, Han Guangrong didn't dare to speak, but Lao Han blinked and almost agreed on Han Guangrong's behalf.
