Chapter 660 Rich
Just when Zhou Shi was still hesitating when to go to Peking and in what state and identity he should meet his beloved idol, the top-floor restaurant that had been pretending to be dead since the release of posters and discount information finally had new developments.
From April 21st to May 21st, for a whole month, the top-floor restaurant will randomly select 10 tables for free orders every day, and release a 10% discount chef's set meal limited to three servings per day. The 10% off chef's set meal requires customers with a top-level restaurant membership card to make a reservation one day in advance, and then a random lottery will be conducted among the reserved customers. The lottery results will be announced at 10 o'clock that evening.
What surprised Jiang Feng was that the chef's set meal was not a meal for two people as he imagined, but a meal for three to four people. Although the specific dish name was not announced, the portion should be large.
The only problem now is the membership card. Every Tai Feng Building employee counts, whether it is Jiang Feng who likes to be enemies, or Jiang Jiankang and Wang Xiulian who are already enemies, or they are constantly moving forward on the road to capitalize on enemies. Zhang Guanghang, none of them have membership cards for the top-floor restaurant.
Not getting a membership card is their last stubbornness.
Just when they were thinking about who to borrow their membership card from, someone with a membership card came to them. Xu Cheng invited two old men, Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Weiming, to go to the top-floor restaurant to enjoy the chef's set meal with him on the evening of April 21. .
As for why Xu Cheng was able to send out invitations on April 19 for the chef's set meal that was obviously not going to be released until the evening of April 20, that was beyond the scope of Xu Cheng's explanation.
Jiang Weiming and Jiang Weiguo both declined Xu Cheng's invitation very politely. The old man simply didn't like eating Western food, but Jiang Weiming felt that he couldn't taste it anyway, and he couldn't eat anything too greasy now, so there was no need to go.
In the end, this special invitation actually fell to Jiang Feng and Zhang Guanghang.
Zhang Guanghang is a person who will do whatever he wants on the spot. When he heard that the two old men politely rejected Xu Cheng's invitation, he called Xu Cheng directly to ask if Xu Cheng could give him one of the places. The chef's set meal in the top-floor restaurant may be difficult for Jiang Feng and Zhang Guanghang, but for Xu Cheng, it is just a piece of cake. He originally liked to order a large table of dishes and invite a few friends to eat with him, so he naturally agreed happily.
As for Jiang Feng, it was not so much Xu Cheng who invited him as Peng Changping.
Jiang Feng was also very surprised that Peng Changping would invite him to the top-floor restaurant for dinner. Originally, Jiang Feng planned to ask Han Guishan's assistant to see if he could think of a way to reserve one for himself. After all, Han Guishan's assistant was so versatile that a mere set meal would not be a problem.
Whatever the cause, the outcome is always good. Being able to eat the chef's set meal for free for the first time is not a bad thing in any way.
At 19 o'clock in the evening on April 21, Jiang Feng put on the shoes Wu Minqi gave him. Wang Xiulian bought him a new shirt this year and the old trousers he had not worn in the previous two years. In his coat pocket, Zhang Guanghang gave him more shoes than the shirt. Wearing expensive headphones and a birthday suit, Zhang Guanghang rode his Bentley to the top-floor restaurant.
This is Jiang Feng's first time to the top-floor restaurant.
As the saying goes, seeing something is better than hearing it a hundred times. Before the top-floor restaurant opened, Jiang Feng heard that the boss behind them was very rich. After they opened, Jiang Feng also found out that the boss behind them was very rich through various behaviors in the top-floor restaurant. Now when he came to the door of the restaurant, Jiang Feng truly realized that the boss behind them was really rich.
Jiang Feng didn't know whether people were stupid or not, but he had a lot of money.
Jiang Feng knew how expensive it was to be serious about decoration. The original decoration of Tai Feng Building cost more than 20 million yuan, and that was the friendly cost price reported by Professor Li. The design drawings were also rewarded by the system, otherwise the design alone would not be enough. There's going to be another bleed. The decorations of Tai Feng Building and the top-floor restaurant are one retro and the other modern. One looks like the accumulation of history and the other looks like the fragrance of money.
Leaving aside the exterior decoration, there is a very eye-catching piano placed on the raised ground in the middle of the restaurant. The piano is unplayed but is very eye-catching because of the light.
Jiang Feng's intuition told him that this piano should be worth a lot of money.
Jiang Feng rarely eats Western food. When he eats out, he usually eats food stalls and roadside stalls, so he is not very sure what the standard decoration of Western restaurants is now. Jiang Feng looked at all the exterior and interior decorations of the top-floor restaurant and felt that if all Western restaurants in Peiping were decorated to this standard, there would be a reason why they closed down so quickly.
The waiter led Jiang Feng and Zhang Guanghang towards the seats Xu Cheng had reserved before. As Jiang Feng walked, he couldn't help but turn his head and stare at the piano in the middle.
Zhang Guanghang saw that Jiang Feng had been looking at the piano, so he explained to him: "The market price of this piano is about 3 million. I heard it from others when I opened the business."
Jiang Feng:...
If the top-floor restaurant goes out of business, no piano is innocent.
Jiang Feng glanced at the waiter who was leading the way, approached Zhang Guanghang and asked in a low voice: "Lao Zhang, do you know how much it cost to renovate this store?"
Zhang Guanghang thought for a while: "I don't know, at least it will cost 80 to 90 million."
Jiang Feng:...
Xu Chengding's seat was in the innermost seat, by the window. Unfortunately, the scenery outside the window was not very good. It was nothing but busy traffic, bright lights, and all kinds of dazzling lights. It was proved with practical actions that light pollution is not a simple word in a book. Jiang Feng looked outside While looking, I also noticed that there was a traffic jam at the intersection ahead.
Although the scenery outside the window is not very good, the scenery inside the window is still good. The lighting was soft, the decoration was exquisite, the seats were comfortable, and the melodious sound of the violin came from another corner. Maybe it was because the violinist was far away from Jiang Feng, so the sound actually sounded a bit melodious.
Xu Cheng and Peng Changping had already arrived. The food had not yet been served. They were chatting. A well-dressed waiter stood at the table.
Seeing Jiang Feng and Zhang Guanghang arriving, Xu Cheng said with a smile: "You guys came just in time. It is estimated that the food will be served in two or three minutes."
Logically speaking, the best thing to do at this time is to ask the waiter to open a bottle of wine and fill it with just the right amount of wine. However, Jiang Feng has a psychological shadow on wine, Zhang Guanghang is not very interested in red wine, Xu Cheng does not like drinking when eating, and Peng Changping They were too old to get into this stuff, so the four of them didn't mention it.
When Peng Changping got older, he liked to tell stories with his juniors. After listening to a few sentences, Jiang Feng and Zhang Guanghang realized that Peng Changping was telling Xu Cheng about how he opened a restaurant when he first came to the United States.
“When we first arrived, we took a fancy to a store in a better location, but we didn’t have enough money on hand to pay the deposit, so we had to go back to Chinatown and rent a shop to open a Chinese restaurant squeezed into an alley. Later..." Peng Changping said, and stopped when he saw a waiter coming over with dishes.
Since it is a set meal, the dishes are served in the order of the set meal.
The appetizers were served first. They were small and tasty, and did not fill the stomach at all. Their only function was to stimulate appetite.
The appetizer was caviar and egg pudding, which was very beautiful. The pudding was served in an oval-shaped vessel that looked like an egg shell. In the middle of the pudding was a circle of round, plump and large pieces of caviar. You can tell just by looking at it. It's definitely expensive.
It is very consistent with Chef Arnold's style of cooking with expensive ingredients.
The appetizers looked great, but no one was looking at them.
Because everyone noticed that behind the waiter was a bearded man wearing a chef's uniform. His expression was very serious. Although it was not unhappy, at least it could be seen that his mood might not be that happy.
"Master Arnold." Xu Cheng looked a little surprised to see Arnold and stood up quickly.
"Mr. Xu." Arnold greeted Xu Cheng in very poor Chinese to show his friendliness, and then switched the language to English. "Now let me introduce to you all the dishes of this chef's set menu."
Jiang Feng:?
Is this how all your Western restaurants operate? The chef personally introduced the dishes, so high-end.
Jiang Feng could tell from Zhang Guanghang's confused eyes that Zhang Guanghang probably didn't understand what was going on.
Xu Cheng was also a little surprised. Obviously this question was not within his knowledge.
Only Peng Changping remained calm. He did not look at Chef Arnold but stared at the caviar and egg pudding that had just been brought to the table, carefully sizing up the dish.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the boss is the boss, and he is indeed well-informed.
Chef Arnold said nothing.
No one else spoke either.
The atmosphere remained silent until the veal stewed with chanterelles and mushroom soup was brought to the table. Shu Jiangfeng bluntly said that the bowl of soup in front of him was so thick that he could change it to a larger bowl and serve it directly as a cooked dish.
It wasn't until the soup was served that Peng Changping realized something was wrong.
Why didn't anyone start?
Peng Changping found that he seemed to have missed something because of his deafness.
"Did he say something just now?" Peng Changping turned to ask Xu Cheng.
Everyone:...(End of this chapter)
