Chapter 122 Go to Tianranju Again
Chapter 122 Go to Tianranju Again
As soon as Xia Mo entered Tianranju, he saw that it was crowded. The space between the dining tables had become smaller. He didn't even know why there were a few more tables. He couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. Aren't there too many people?
He looked down as he was climbing the stairs and found that most of the dishes they were eating were the ones he sold to Tianranju. He immediately felt sorry for himself.
It's the last day of the event and there are still so many people. It seems that Manager Qin will make a profit in the future. He should have asked for more money at the beginning. Rounding it up to an even number, one thousand taels of silver is not too much.
What a pity, what a pity.
Xia Mo sighed, and then he, Ling Chuan and Manager Hong followed into the private room.
The waiter at Tianranju was very prompt. Not long after they sat down, they started serving wine and food.
"Brother Ling, Mr. Liu, come, I'll toast you a glass." Shopkeeper Hong raised the wine glass and said to Xia Mo and Ling Chuan with a smile.
Seeing this, Xia Mo and Ling Chuan also picked up their wine glasses.
Xia Mo smiled and said, "No, no, we should respect you. If it weren't for Manager Hong who was willing to give us a chance, how could we have made this money?" After saying that, he turned his head to look at Ling Chuan.
Ling Chuan looked at him and instantly understood what he meant, so he nodded in agreement, "Ze'er is right, toast to you."
Shopkeeper Hong laughed out loud when he heard this, then shook his head, "We do business on a mutual basis, and we can't afford to let one end fail, so let's not flatter each other, haha, let's do it."
Xia Mo's eyes, sparkling with starlight, curved and he responded with a smile, thinking that Manager Hong's ideas were quite avant-garde. He then raised the wine glass in his hand, tilted his head back, and drank it in one gulp.
"Mr. Liu has a good alcohol tolerance. Please, Brother Ling." Seeing how generous he was, Shopkeeper Hong also drank it all in one gulp.
Hearing the voice, Ling Chuan glanced at the young man, and seeing that his cheeks were still as white as jade, he also took a sip.
Xia Mo waved his hands at Shopkeeper Hong and said, "Ah, it's just so-so, but this wine is mellow and rich, and quite delicious."
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Hong smacked his lips, as if he was savoring the aftereffects of the wine.
Then he said, "This fine wine is unique to Tianranju. You can't get it in other restaurants. Come on, come on, eat some food. This food won't taste good if it gets cold."
Xia Mo and Ling Chuan saw that he had already picked up the chopsticks, so they naturally did not hesitate. After all, since they were already here, they must enjoy the meal.
As they ate, Shopkeeper Hong would occasionally praise Tianranju's new dishes, saying they were much tastier than those in other restaurants in the area. Of course, he also briefly mentioned business matters, saying that he would contact them if he needed to purchase malt sugar or something in the future.
When Xia Mo heard this, he naturally agreed. This was good news. As long as Manager Hong expanded the market for maltose, he could bring more people to get rich together.
However, his ability is limited and he is not a saint, so the only people he wants to repay are those who have helped him and Ze Ge'er. As for others, he cannot care so much about them, after all, a little kindness is repaid with a big debt.
Xia Mo thought about it and took another sip of wine.
He was so happy that he had already drunk several glasses of wine.
Ling Chuan stared at the drunken face of the young man with his dark eyes, and said, "Ze'er, don't drink too much. If you like to eat, bring some back later."
Xia Mo's eyes lit up, "Okay, then don't forget it when Brother Ling leaves."
"Okay." Ling Chuan looked at him dotingly, thinking to himself that he was such a greedy little drunkard.
Shopkeeper Hong glanced at them and immediately smiled.
He originally thought that only Mr. Liu had deep feelings for the Ling brothers, but he did not expect that this man who looked so cold and hard could actually treat another person so tenderly.
I couldn't help but sigh, it turns out they are truly in love.
Just when Manager Hong was about to ask the waiter to order some wine to take away, there was a knock on the door of the private room.
Shopkeeper Hong raised his eyebrows and said, "Come in."
As the door opened, a hearty laugh came from the direction of the door.
"Mr. Liu, why didn't you say hello when you came? If Xiao Tang hadn't come to the kitchen to look for me, I wouldn't have known you were here." The voice came before the person arrived. It was Zhang Yi.
Xia Mohe understood what Ling Chuan meant immediately.
As the voice gradually fell, Zhang Yiren also stepped in and appeared in front of the three people.
Shopkeeper Hong looked at Zhang Yi who was walking towards them step by step, and then quickly glanced at Xia Mo's husband with surprise in his eyes. Looking at the other party's attitude, could it be that Mr. Liu has some relationship with Tianranju?
Zhang Yi strode forward, apologized to Shopkeeper Hong, and nodded, saying, "Shopkeeper Hong, I am sorry to bother you by coming here uninvited."
Shopkeeper Hong smiled and shook his head, "No, Chef Zhang is familiar with Mr. Liu, right?"
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Xia Mo, as if asking a question.
Xia Mo laughed awkwardly. It was true that they were not very familiar with each other. After all, they had only met once and could not even be considered acquaintances. But the person was standing right in front of him. How should he answer?
After all, Xia Mo had drunk some wine, so his mind wasn't so clear. Fortunately, Zhang Yi spoke first before he could think of his words.
"Manager Hong, the boiling fish fillet, taro-flavored rabbit, stir-fried chicken, and duck with king oyster mushroom and spicy peppers that you just ate were all learned from Mr. Liu."
"What!" Shopkeeper Hong's eyes widened upon hearing this. He looked at Xia Mo in disbelief and repeated, "Chef Zhang, are you saying that you learned all this from Mr. Liu?"
Zhang Yi nodded and gave him a positive answer.
Shopkeeper Hong looked at Xia Mo who was laughing dryly, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he suddenly realized, "Mr. Liu is really good at cooking."
"No, no." Xia Mo withdrew his gaze from Ling Chuan and smiled dryly.
Shopkeeper Hong saw this and asked Zhang Yi to sit down without asking any other questions. However, Zhang Yi refused.
"I'll take a seat if you want to, but it's a rare opportunity to meet Mr. Liu, so why don't you help us taste the remaining dishes and see if there's anything that needs to be improved."
After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and the waiters who were waiting outside with the dishes immediately came in one after another and brought the few dishes that Manager Hong did not order out of the eleven dishes to the table.
It was also at this time that Xia Mo and the other two understood what Zhang Yi was planning.
However, the dishes were already served, and Xia Mo was not a talkative person, so he tasted the dishes one by one and then briefly expressed his opinions.
Zhang Yi nodded in agreement and left. Xia Mo and the other two did not hesitate to buy the dishes that were delivered to their door for free.
After eating and drinking his fill, Shopkeeper Hong looked at Xia Mo with a different eye, and realized more and more that his attainments in food must be extraordinary.
He secretly thought that it would be better for him to take care of him in the future. Maybe if there was any fresh food, he could get a share of it in his grocery store, just like malt sugar.
Since they had finished eating, the three of them didn't want to stay any longer, so they said goodbye to each other and left Tianranju.
Of course, before leaving, Ling Chuan did not forget to bring two jars of fine wine for his little drunkard. Seeing this, Manager Hong smiled.
It was not until the three of them had completely walked away that Li Jingran and Qin Ji, who were hiding behind the windows on the upper floor of Tianranju, withdrew their gaze.
