After the meal, the waiter removed the dishes and served tea and after-dinner fruits again.
Fan Youling used a delicate little fork to eat the seasonal fruits and said: "The food from the county master is really delicious, but I have eaten better food in the imperial city. The business of that restaurant is better than the county master's." The restaurant’s business is even better!”
"oh?"
Shen Wan picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Hui'er blinked. Could it be that Miss Fan was talking about Zhaixinglou? Is there any restaurant in the Imperial City that has better business and better food than Zhaixinglou?
No.
"Is there anything more delicious than Shiweitian? How delicious does it have to be?"
Wu said casually.
Fan Youling showed off with some pride: "Of course it's so delicious that only the imperial cuisine can compare to it. The restaurant is very extraordinary, the environment is elegant and beautiful, and the people who can eat there are either rich or noble.
The name of the restaurant is also very nice and very artistic. It is called Zhaixinglou, which is incomparable to other restaurants."
Unlike Shiweitian, the name sounds rustic and not elegant at all.
Although the food at Shiweitian is also delicious, compared with Zhaixinglou, it is completely incomparable and not on the same level.
Sure enough, Huier raised her eyebrows.
Shen Wan smiled and said nothing. She really couldn't figure out what Miss Fan was so proud of. The Star-Zhaing Tower was not hers. The Star-Zhaing Tower was better than Shiweitian. Could it still be regarded as her stepping on Shiweitian? ?
Fan Youling then told Mrs. Wu what the names of the dishes in Zhaixinglou were, what they tasted like, how delicious they were, and how many noble people had eaten them.
Shen Wan and Hui'er listened with smiles, finding Fan Youling showing off in front of them a bit funny.
"I heard that the emperor even went to Zhaixinglou to eat!"
Fan Youling's arrogant expression when she spoke was like sitting at the same table with the emperor when he went to eat! When Mrs. Wu heard Fan Youling talk about the Star-Zhaing Tower at first, she was still a little interested, but then she became a little annoyed. , but still nodded perfunctorily.
"What's this?"
Hui'er smiled and said, "We, the Emperor and the Queen Mother, have all been there in Youranju! There are also poems written by Mr. Ruyun and the Emperor hanging on the wall!"
"really?"
Fan Youling exclaimed.
"The emperor went there during his southern tour. Everyone in Jiangzhou City knows about it."
After the emperor's tour south to the imperial city, Shen Wancai asked You He to frame the things done by the emperor and Taifu Yun in a golden nanmu frame and place them in the most conspicuous place in Youranju.
Within two days, someone recognized Taifu Yun's calligraphy. Looking at the date of inscription and the inscription on the other piece, they guessed that it was written by the emperor. Without her having to publicize it, everyone knew that the emperor had been there during his southern tour. Live leisurely.
Whether they are literati, poets or ordinary people, they all line up to visit Youranju to pay their respects to Taifu Yun and Emperor Mo Bao. Youranju has also become a must-visit place for businessmen and travelers from other places when they come to Jiangzhou.
Fan Youling had a stern expression, feeling that what she was showing off was nothing.
Hui'er said: "We used to eat at Zhaixinglou when we were in the Imperial City. I'm not bragging. I think the environment and taste of our food-oriented restaurant are no worse than Zhaixinglou. Moreover, the business of Zhaixinglou may not be there now. Our food is the best of heaven.”
Their food menu is updated very quickly, and Mrs. Zhaixinglou has given it to the eldest young master and no longer cares about it. Naturally, Zhaixinglou will produce less new dishes, and there will be many fewer customers who want fresh food, so this business There should be no such thing as good food for them.
Fan Youling looked at Hui'er and felt that she looked young, but her tone was not young.
She often goes there to eat. As a maid, she probably followed her master when she was in the imperial city and ate his leftovers! "Really?"
But I think the one from Zhaixinglou is better!"
After she said that, she looked like she was afraid that Shen Wan would be unhappy after hearing this, and explained, "Don't get me wrong, County Master, I just think Zhaixinglou is more delicious, and I don't mean that the food you prescribed is bad. "
Shen Wan shook her head, "Everyone has different tastes. Miss Fan prefers the dishes from Zhaixinglou. It is understandable that she thinks Zhaixinglou is more delicious."
Wu's eyebrows furrowed almost invisible. She felt that Fan Youling had low emotional intelligence and was ignorant in front of Shen Wan, the owner of the restaurant, when he said that the food in other restaurants was better.
A sensible person would definitely not be like her.
