Phi-Fic Chapter 412 Taotie Residence
Chapter 412 Taotie Residence
As an old jewelry shop, they control a lot of resources. Many wives of officials do not like to go out shopping, so they usually ask their own stewards to deliver the goods to their door for them to choose.
Compared with individual customers who come to the store to buy, these wives and daughters of officials are the main consumers in their shops.
Diancui Pavilion took away some of the shop's individual customers, but it did not affect the shop's core interests, so they did not take Diancui Pavilion too seriously.
Now it seems that this shop is indeed quite good, which makes them interested. They want to go and see for themselves whether the Diancui Pavilion is really as magical as the little girl just said.
No matter what everyone was thinking at the time, the final result was that Diancui Pavilion successfully entered the vision of the upper circle, and took this opportunity to become the favorite of many ladies and young ladies, and won the opportunity for long-term cooperation with the back houses of various officials, and was able to enter the upper class and become a great help in collecting information for the master's wife.
Shi Niang also owns a business called Taotie Ju. As the name suggests, it is a shop specializing in gourmet food, and its target customers are the wealthy gourmets.
Matching the overbearing name of Taotieju is the chef’s cooking skills and the strict rules of the store.
The cook of Taotie Ju is a teenager with great culinary talent who was sent by Lin Chuyi. After the kid was accepted as an apprentice by Shi Niang, Shi Niang personally taught her and trained her to cook various famous dishes.
The child was very hardworking and learned the dish once she was taught. After making it a few times, she was able to modify the recipe according to her own feelings. Not only did she make the dish in her own style, but she also made the taste of the dish richer.
In order to allow apprentices time to rest and study, and also to improve the style of Taotie Ju, Taotie Ju hung a notice board outside stating that the store only serves ten tables of guests every day.
There is no menu in the restaurant. You eat whatever the chef cooks. No matter how long the meal is, the restaurant will close after serving ten tables of guests. We do not accept bad behaviors of occupying seats such as queuing on behalf of others or cutting in line, nor do we accept take-away services such as take-away. We also do not accept wasting food. Violators will be included in the Taotieju blacklist and will never be accepted.
When the contents of the sign were read out, everyone who heard it was shocked. They had never seen a store doing business in this way.
Many people think that Taotie Ju is just trying to attract attention and are dismissive of it, but many people are attracted by the content on the Taotie Ju signboard and plan to go in and find out what the confidence is to dare to give it such a name and establish such rules.
The guests walked into Taotie Ju with their noses in the air, but in the end, without exception, they all walked out of Taotie Ju with one hand holding the wall and the other hand holding their bloated stomachs.
Passersby who were waiting to see the result outside saw this scene and sniffed the fragrance coming from the store. If they still had any questions, they would rush into the store.
The result of such a swarm of people rushing in was that they were stopped by several strong men and forced to retreat one by one.
The reason why the strong men drove people away was very simple. Today's ten tables of guests had already been seated. If others wanted to eat Taotie Ju's food, please come early tomorrow.
At this time, the guests remembered the rules of Taotieju and couldn't help but be shocked. They thought it was a gimmick made up by the restaurant, but it turned out that they were serious.
There were people blocking the way at the door, so they couldn't get in. They could only stand at the door and take a few deep breaths of the aroma of the food before leaving in disappointment.
Although they had already left, their hearts were still on Taotie Residence. The more they were not allowed to enter, the more they were anxious to go in.
So the next day, these people came to the entrance of Taotieju early to line up, but when they arrived, they found that someone had come earlier than them. Those people were none other than the first wave of young men who entered yesterday.
Are they addicted to eating? Before they could finish their thoughts, they saw someone else coming over and hurried forward, fearing that if they were a step late, the good seats would be taken by someone else and it would be their turn to eat later.
By the time Taotieju opened for business, the entrance was already full of people. Strong men lined up in a row and let people in one after another without any hurry.
Before letting each person in, they would ask how many people the other party brought with them. Those young masters did not know each other, but they all brought their friends with them this time, and upon hearing this, they reported the number of people on their side.
After the sturdy man who asked the question nodded, another sturdy man came out and took them into the store and sat down at the first table, followed by the second table and the third table. The young men in groups of three or four occupied six tables at once. The people waiting at the door became anxious, as there were only four tables left, and there were still so many people waiting here!
Someone suddenly had an idea and started looking for others to share the table. He said that the cost of sharing the table could be shared equally, and the more people there were, the more dishes they could eat and they could spend less money, which was more cost-effective.
As soon as this statement was made, it was immediately recognized and echoed by many people, so the last four tables of the day were all full.
After all ten tables were seated, the strong men asked the remaining guests to come back tomorrow as usual, then they retreated behind the door and closed it.
After reporting the recorded number of people at each table to the kitchen, Shi Wan, the head chef of Taotieju, had an idea in mind.
She stood in front of the stove and started working. The people in the kitchen who were responsible for helping her also worked at full capacity, speeding up the preparation of the dishes.
Soon, one dish after another, delicious and filling, was brought to the guests' tables in the front hall by the strong men.
Along with the dishes, there were also large bowls of rice served according to the number of people. When the guests saw the dishes were served, they didn't bother to continue chatting. They reached out to take out two chopsticks from the chopstick holder and started to eat the rice with relish.
As the young masters were eating, they realized something was wrong. Why were there only two or three dishes on their side, while the table of eight had six dishes? How could they be treated differently?
The young masters were instantly unhappy, and one of them had a hot temper. He threw away his chopsticks and was about to overturn the table to cause trouble.
Upon seeing this, the companions on both sides quickly took the dishes off the table. Although they were angry, the dishes were innocent and it would be a shame to let such delicious food fall to the ground.
As a result, the expected table-lifting accident did not happen. The strong men who were maintaining order at the door noticed the abnormality here at the first time, quickly approached the table of guests, and when the other party was about to lift the table, they slapped the table back, which caused the other party to fail to lift the table.
The young man was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red. He felt that he had lost all his face today, and was about to get angry at the burly man.
