Chapter 266 The Charm of Money 【Seeking Monthly Pass】
There are more than forty private rooms in the palace, but there are only five in the garden. These five private rooms are the five most expensive rooms in the palace. The price list cannot be the same as that of other private rooms. Of course, the price of these five rooms
The menu is the menu of this palace town.
Zhou Mo and the others took a look and thought, Buddha Jumping over the Wall is cheap, only 688. Wait, why is the price 688/person? What does it mean? 688/person per person, how much smaller is that?
Zhao Mingyang watched them studying the menu, took the menu directly and said: "Give us each a piece of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, one of the Four Dragon Treasures, one piece of abalone juice each, and another first-grade deer tendon, and a sixteen-fold box."
, Songhe Yannian, Golden Meat, Cherry Meat, Palace Gate Fish, Eight Treasures Fulu Duck, Oolong Spicy Beads, please have a piece of this Golden Ring Jade Belt Hericium, Longjing Shrimp, please have a piece too.
Qingcai, do you want some wine?'
"Just order it. You can have a drink. We don't drink much." It's not that Zhou Mo doesn't drink, but he doesn't dare to drink. Why is the price of this different from the Maotai on the market? Many of them cost seven to eight thousand and more.
Just in case it was a bottle, no wonder they would think so. Zhao Mingyang also drank too much in his previous life before he knew that Feitian was just the starting point of Maotai. There were seven levels above, and the higher they went, the more expensive they became.
"Let's start with two bottles of aged wine, that's it." Zhao Mingyang closed the menu.
Zhou Mo is still studying the taste of this plate of green vegetables 198, a plate of shrimps 398, and one serving of abalone juice 598. Will drinking this make me stronger?
"I forgot my camera, otherwise I could take a photo and put it on our food website." Lao Wan, who wears glasses, said.
"Do you have a camera here? We want to take pictures." Zhao Mingyang said.
"Go back to the prince, I have a camera. I will find a photographer for you. We will leave first and let the princesses come to relieve the boredom of the princes." The maids have all withdrawn. This group is for welcoming guests.
Zhou Mo got up directly and went to sit on a glittering golden throne in the private room. From here, it can be seen that this is a restaurant with a strong commercial atmosphere. The throne is placed in the private room. This is to match the private room environment for taking photos.
"How can we eat with two thousand per capita? If we include wine, the average per capita would be five or six thousand. What can we eat? Does your company reimburse you so much?" Lao Wan asked in confusion.
"I'm so good at eating that I'll be praised for it when I go out later. I've eaten a plate of green vegetables for RMB 200, a plate of shrimps for RMB 400, and a small bowl of abalone juice for RMB 600."
There are so many role plays, such scenery, such services, so many bells and whistles. If you invite guests, the guests will find it fresh and interesting, and it is suitable for entertaining guests. Who will pay for the expenses of so many maids, guards, princesses, etc.?
Consumers, it’s not just about eating here, it’s about experience, freshness, and food. There are so many delicious places in the Imperial City, but this kind of role-playing experience and the blessing of the royal palace.
Doesn't it make people feel very classy? The price here is not due to the food, but to the atmosphere.
Just like if you go to a nightclub, a few people may spend 18,000 yuan. Why is it so expensive? Didn’t you count?
You can think of this Bai Family Courtyard as a theme restaurant. Their positioning is palace cuisine and imperial-level enjoyment, rather than a single restaurant.
This is relatively cheap. For high-end luxury, you have to look to Shanghai. It’s not uncommon for some clubs in Shanghai to pay an average of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan per person.”
"Hold the grass! True or false!" Zhou Mo looked at Zhao Mingyang from the throne and asked.
"Really, the imperial capital here mainly focuses on cooking and pricing based on the culture of the imperial city, while the Shanghai side mainly eats high-end and fresh food, such as the Kobe beef that was just flown in today. Do you think it can be cheap? It specializes in air transportation.
Come on, the Kobe beef slaughtered on the same day, who do you think pays for all the expenses? On the consumers, you don’t need to pay 18,000 yuan per capita, do you think it’s appropriate?
There are also some very high-quality seafood that are only available in season. Some fish cost hundreds of thousands of yuan. You said that you can beat others who eat a fish that costs more than 100,000 yuan for a plate of vegetables.
Is that right? You can’t brag about it. People who mainly eat these hundreds of thousands of fish don’t need to brag to others. They just eat extravagantly, so when it comes to luxury in China, you have to look at Shencheng, which is a place where people spend money like water."
In his previous life, Zhao Mingyang still remembers that a rich man in Shanghai invited someone to dinner. He spent 370,000 yuan, plus the service fee, the total was about 410,000 yuan. They ate some seafood. For eight people, the average person was about 50,000 yuan, and a piece of food cost 70,000 yuan.
A pound of wild yellow croaker is worth about 160,000 yuan.
There is also a portion of caviar worth less than 6,000 yuan per person. This is called luxury food. This does not include wine, because I brought my own wine, and some wine clubs do not have it. Including wine, these eight people may have an average of
One hundred thousand, a meal is so expensive. Ordinary people really can't imagine the luxurious life of the rich.
There are many private clubs in Shanghai and Suzhou and Hangzhou, most of which are membership-based and not open to the public. The consumption list that was exposed was released. As you can see, this is definitely not the most expensive.
The main thing in these clubs is fresh food. For example, when hairy crabs first came on the market, they were already in these clubs, and they were all of the best quality, specially for the rich.
If Zhao Mingyang were to tell him, they would probably think that five or six thousand per person is not expensive, after all, the caviar was not ordered.
"I seem to have forgotten my cell phone in the car. I'm going to get it." Zhao Mingyang stood up and walked out of the box, finding the female foreman who was looking for a photographer to take pictures.
"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" the female foreman looked at Zhao Mingyang and asked. In their spoken language, there is no difference between the Prince and the husband.
"Please take care of you and the others and let them toast the three people in the room well. I am not very good at drinking. As long as you drink them well, each of them will have a thousand, trouble." Zhao Mingyang stopped.
One thousand yuan was given to the foreman and she returned to the house.
The head waitress immediately understood what Zhao Mingyang meant. After the drinks were served, the person dressed as a maid had already gone to receive other guests outside the door, and the one dressed up in style would go to the box to perform, and then left in about ten minutes.
I wanted them to stay a little longer and drink some wine.
One thousand per person, which means I can give it to as many people as you want, but it’s impossible to get as many people as you need people in other boxes. At most, seven or eight people can come, and they will stay longer than in other boxes. This kind of performance
The number of princesses is limited, there are only so many people, and there are several private rooms running back and forth. Not only these five private rooms, this catering company also has several private rooms in front of the garden.
The food is served first, and the food cannot be waited for too long. When the food is being served, let the princesses enter. If it is a private room mostly occupied by women, boys dressed as guards will receive them.
Zhao Mingyang returned to the box and continued to chat with Zhou Mo and the others, and asked the waiter to serve him. Zhao Mingyang basically doesn't smoke, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how. It's mainly because there are people in the room who smoke. If he doesn't smoke, he also inhales second-hand smoke.
He lit up the cigarette and didn't smoke much, but sometimes a cigarette can really bring us closer.
Soon, the first dish was served, and the female head waiter began to introduce the dish: "This dish is called golden meat. It was the first dish served at banquets in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the royal family regarded this dish as a delicacy.
, According to legend, this dish was created by Nurhachi. The color of this dish is golden, which represents blessing. The taste is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It is sweet and sour. The main ingredients include beef, eggs, green onions and ginger, coriander stems, etc.
The princes can have a taste, ladies and gentlemen, the wine is served!" The head waitress made room for her, and a group of girls walked in from the door, dressed as luxuriously as the maids before love, without veils, and all of them looked very fresh and beautiful.
Zhou Mo and the others looked at such a big plate, with so few ingredients and golden meat, which was not enough for Zhou Mo alone. Zhou Mo felt that he could eat seven or eight plates by himself.
Especially the Songhe Yannian that was served next. It was such a big plate with just a few small slices of meat and a few vegetable leaves. Twenty plates of it would not be enough, but it looked so good.
Like a painting, this plate arrangement is really beautiful.
No wonder the per capita price here is so high. If you have a plate of braised pork, a bowl of rice per person, and a few large elbows, it will definitely be a meal, and it will cost two hundred yuan for four people.
"Greetings to the princes." A group of girls bent down and squatted down. This scene was indeed a bit nonsensical. Prince Gege, Gege toasted the prince and served as a companion. But this is the atmosphere they give you. What kind of uniforms and roles?
Role-playing, Gege role-playing, isn’t it more awesome than JK?
"I'll play a piece of music for the princes to cheer up." A man holding a pipa giggled.
They all have some talent. The main reason why they come here to work is that they are paid well, ranging from 500 to 1,000 a day. There are basically no people around at noon, and the maximum performance is ten to thirty or forty minutes.
There are more performances in the evening, but it is only busy for a while. There is still a lot of time to rest after the performance, just like singing in a bar.
And if Zhao Mingyang's table is finished in a while, there may be people coming to eat, and the consumption for four people is about 20,000. It is conceivable that the money he makes is only for high consumption, and people come to eat every day.
, not only the imperial capital, but also people from all over the world come to eat.
The turnover of five private rooms every day is equivalent to the turnover of more than ten or twenty tables in many hotels, not counting the other mid-range private rooms of this catering company in this palace.
This is more profitable than opening a bar. Of course, the boss here can also earn connections from these guests. For example, Ma Chunzhen asked someone to come over to make a reservation, and the customers asked the boss to book a table. This is equivalent to owing a personal favor.
The waiter dressed up in style began to persuade the three nerds, Zhou Mo, to drink. Seeing such a beautiful girl urging them to drink, it was like they were in a dream. Her expressions really made them feel happy too quickly.
Feel.
I have to sigh, it’s really nice to have money.
It turned out that the fairy was so close to me and even drank a glass of wine with me. For the first time, Zhou and Mo and the others truly felt the charm of money.
This kind of charm will make people happy physically and mentally. It will make people not consider your appearance, whether you have a girlfriend, or whether you have others, as long as you have money.
