Chapter 41
The high price of the food means that only a small number of people came to taste it.
The entire second-floor restaurant is supported by nine large vermilion columns, and the mahogany tables and chairs are all simple styles.
No carvings, not exquisite at all.
The tablecloths and napkins look particularly simple.
The restaurant was empty, including Li Xingxing and his daughter, there were five tables sitting in total. Everyone here dressed up straight and decently, showing the style of elites.
Compared to the embarrassment on Li Xiuhong's face, Li Xingxing was generous.
The menu is no longer a banner hanging on the wall, but a menu delivered by the waiter himself. When you open it, the illustrations inside and the downstairs are written by one person, but the name of the dish is written in three languages, one is Chinese, the second is Russian, and the third is English.
Li Xingxing turned a little, "Braised lion's head, squirrel mandarin fish, Longjing shrimp, Wensi tofu."
I ordered four dishes in one breath, and just as I was about to continue my efforts, the waiter politely interrupted: "In order to prevent waste, the hotel stipulates that each person is limited to order two dishes."
"Ah? What should I do if I don't have enough food?" I decided to go home in the afternoon. Li Xingxing specially brought an aluminum lunch box, ready to take care of it if I can't eat it!
The waiter smiled and did not answer.
Li Xingxing sighed: "If you can't eat something, it's no less than entering the treasure mountain and returning empty-handed."
Too regretful.
"You can order more staple food and soup." The waiter kindly reminded.
"That's right." Li Xingxing turned to the page of the staple food, "Fried spring rolls, plum blossom dumplings, assorted fried rice, and stewed chicken soup with matsutake."
The waiter quickly quoted the total price: "Twenty-nine-eight yuan in total!"
"Ha!" Li Xingxing's eyes widened.
It cost less than two yuan to have a meal on the first floor, but it increased by more than ten times on the second floor.
Li Xiuhong was also stunned for ten seconds, handing out three big black tens in pain, and the waiter recovered two cents.
Li Xingxing touched his heart and killed three 300,000 yuan in one meal, which combined would be 900,000 yuan. It was really heartbreaking!
However, this heartache flew out into the sky when I tasted the delicious food!
Indescribable deliciousness!
The braised pork, garlic-flavored pork ribs, vinegar-flavored cabbage and sweet and sour carp that we ate on the first floor were already first-class and delicious, but the ones in front of us could be even more delicious, which is related to the ingredients.
High-quality ingredients and superb craftsmanship are simply irresistible!
Especially the bowl of Wensi tofu in front of me, it was as thin as a hair and as long as a toothpick. It was white and light, and it was soft and smooth in the mouth. The spoon had not left the mouth, and the tofu had completely slipped into the stomach bag.
"What did I eat before?" It was simply junk food.
Li Xiuhong went to the second floor for the first time and thought it was particularly delicious, but when she thought that this delicious meal would take a month or even more than a month to get it, she had no appetite.
Too expensive, outrageously expensive.
How much does a chicken cost? One or two dollars a big chicken.
How much does a pound of pork cost? 70 cents.
Where is the tofu? Eight cents a piece.
Here, a bowl of chicken soup without meat costs five yuan!
For twenty-nine yuan, you can buy more than 200 kilograms of rice or nearly 300 kilograms of cabbage.
Li Xingxing, who grew up in the era of 40 or 50 yuan per pound of pork, did not officially align with the 1960s at all. She felt that it was really cost-effective to spend less than 30 yuan to eat a meal made by a chef in the state banquet!
Eat happily, eat happily, and eat happily...
