Chapter Eleven Accompanying Wine
When Xue He came to the store, he saw several luxuriously dressed young men wandering here, not daring to neglect them. He immediately smiled and welcomed them to the Yasan House to take their seats, and then arranged drinks for them personally. After meals, he left the room.
Immediately afterwards, before Xue He took out a break and returned to the built-in courtyard, four people came together at the door of the store, two men and two women, talking and laughing, and they all looked very handsome, but no matter how they looked, they didn't look like locals from Zhongzhou.
The winery run by Xue He is located in the deep alleys. If customers want to come here, they need to pass through several deep alleys from the main street to get here. It is far less popular than the shops on the main street. However, when Xue He first chose to be here, he had long guessed that its business would not be as popular as the shops on the main street. Therefore, most of the people he usually entertained are old customers of some years. Like today, two consecutive waves of new faces that he had never been there, which inevitably made him feel a little surprised.
However, the visitor was a guest. As the shopkeeper of the wine house, Xue He naturally had no reason to be unwelcome, so he immediately welcomed them with a smile.
The overall scale of the wine house is not large. When the seat is full, it can only accommodate about 30 people. There are two elegant houses, which can seat twelve people. The rest are all four-sided tables outside the hall, with four people and one table, which can seat about five tables.
Since they arrived late, the two elegant houses in the wine house were already full. Therefore, these He Huanzhu and others who followed Xu Yan and the others to the wine house could only choose to eat at the square table outside the hall. It is worth mentioning that their table is also the last one. If they came later, they would probably have to wait aside for a while.
After the four Ziyun Sect were arranged to take their seats by Xue He, He Huanzhu looked around from the seat. After she swept over the table, she still didn't see Xu Yan and the others. She immediately said to herself with some curiosity: "Hey, I saw that they were turning in from here before, but why did they suddenly disappear?"
Xue He didn't know what this young-looking beautiful girl meant, but He Bizhu and others knew it clearly. So He Bizhu immediately said with a hint of majestic tone: "Call Zhu, stop looking around, order food and eat quickly. After we finished eating, we quickly went out to stroll around. We finally came out, how could you let your senior brother make a fuss with you?"
When He Huanzhu heard her sister say this, she couldn't help but secretly sticking out her tongue, but she could only stop shaking her head and looking around.
Seeing the four of them quiet, Xue He smiled and handed the wooden sign in his arms. In this wooden sign, the names of the dishes sold in the wine house were engraved, which was undoubtedly a very unique menu.
Xue He smiled and said, "Please take a look at what you want to eat."
He Bizhu and the other two were very conscious of ordering the dishes to Du Shaoyang. After all, at this time, his identity as a senior brother could be reflected.
Seeing that no one was going to receive the wooden sign at the moment, Du Shaoyang was calm on the surface, but the sense of superiority that had been in his heart for a long time still made him feel secretly happy. He felt that the two sisters of He were good at being human. So he no longer pretentious and directly reached out to take the wooden sign handed over by Xue He. But after just a glance, he couldn't help frowning, and then asked Xue He: "Shopkeeper, are there so many dishes in your store?"
Xue He smiled and replied, "It's not bad, but objectively don't underestimate these dishes.
It is our store, which has been selling dishes for decades, and it is authentic Zhongzhou delicacies. Moreover, our wine house is also a time-honored brand that has been open for decades. In the entire capital, there is only one."
Du Shaoyang didn't care when he heard Xue He say this. After all, he never believed 30% of the merchants.
Without thinking too much, he made a decision and replied to Xue He: "Then let's have one. There are only five or six kinds of dishes in your store. What kind of flowers can I order? I hope the result will not be contrary to what you said, just have a false reputation."
Xue He saw that this young man spoke sharply and still had a smile on his face. After all, he was doing business, and he had never seen anyone he had seen? He had even come to the store to find fault. This kind of scene was simply too normal.
Seeing that he handed back the hasty wooden sign, Xue He smiled and took it, and added, "Dear guests, do you need alcohol?"
It’s not that Xue He asked this. After all, how many people who come to the wine house simply come to eat? Basically, the customers who come to him come for the red date wine he brews. If you only eat or taste delicious food, it’s better to go to the food street. After all, it covers all the specialty foods in the entire Five Prefectures. Although these dishes in his restaurant are all done to the best, if you eat them every day, you will be tired of eating them. After all, the dishes are not wine or rice.
Du Shaoyang didn't plan to drink. In his opinion, what was going on when he went out to play? Even if he was not drunk, wouldn't he have to sway around in the afternoon with a smell of alcohol? He couldn't stand this situation, so he immediately wanted to refuse Xue He, but before he could say it out of his mouth, the weird He Huanzhu said first: "The shopkeeper asked this, but what kind of wine do you want to recommend?"
When Xue He heard the question, he instinctively focused his eyes on the girl. Just by looking at her, he felt that he liked this girl. Of course, with his age, he liked her only in his heart that this girl was good. Not only was she handsome, she looked pleasing to the eye, but her voice was also very beautiful. In addition, when she smiled, her eyes were curved like crescent moons, which was really innocent and cute.
Xue He smiled and replied, "I dare not hide it from all the guests. In fact, the customers who come to our wine house are all for the red date wine brewed by Xue. If you are interested, you might as well order a pot to try it. The red date wine is not high. If you just taste the taste, even those who can't drink will not be drunk. Moreover, the wine has a date fragrance and tastes very delicious."
He Huanzhu said happily: "Then let's have a pot and I'll bother the shopkeeper."
Xue Helian said he didn't dare, so he turned around and returned to the counter and asked the waiter to start asking the chefs in the kitchen to prepare ingredients, while he went to the cellar to get a jar of new red date wine.
...
Everything went on as usual, and two quarters of a minute passed quietly.
He Huanzhu and the other four had a very fast meal. Perhaps this was related to their regional customs. They liked to chew heavily when eating, but not as good as Zhongzhou people liked to chew slowly. In addition, they wanted to go out for a trip after eating early. Therefore, although they came to the store at the end, they were the first among everyone to finish lunch.
However, just when Du Shaoyang went to check out in front of the counter, the situation suddenly changed because he felt that the charges here were too high. It was almost fifty taels of silver for just such a meal at noon. This made him unable to help but say
I think this store is deliberately deceiving them because they are outsiders.
After the conflict suddenly arose, it immediately attracted the attention of all the customers in the store. The waiter who was responsible for temporarily guarding the counter saw that he could not solve the problem, so he could only go to the backyard to find the shopkeeper Xue He.
Xue He was drinking and chatting with Chen Qinghe and others at this moment, and the conversation was rising. When he suddenly heard such news, he felt very unhappy. After all, the price he collected here has always been like this. Even if an old customer comes, it is the same price. It is said that he is innocent. Why should he be greedy for the money of that foreigner?
Xue He smiled and greeted Chen Qinghe and others, and then hurried to the restaurant. However, when he came out, the scene was even more chaotic than what the waiter said before, because the young man who was drinking in his sect actually came to the cabinet.
Xue He strode towards the noisy crowd, but heard one of the young men of aristocratic families looking at Du Shaoyang contemptuously and said sarcastically: "Where did this come from the local bun? You dare to come to the wine shop in the capital to spend? Don't yell here and disturb me from drinking."
Du Shaoyang saw that the other party was dressed gorgeously and was swaying in the overhaul. He knew the truth that a strong dragon could not defeat a local snake. Even if he clearly felt that the other party was just a fourth-level martial artist.
He pondered for a moment before replied coldly: "I just ordered six dishes here. Does each dish here cost eight taels of silver? Is there any reason? You said this is not a bullying guest, what is bullying guest?"
Xue He had heard Du Shaoyang's words at this moment, so he came up and said with a smile: "Young Master, don't be angry. Xue did not have any false quotes for you. The dishes in our store are made of good ingredients. Whether it is new or old customers, it is the same price. You can ask the people present if this is the case. As for the price of the dishes, it is not as exaggerated as the young master said. Although the dishes here are not cheap, they are only five taels of silver per dish."
Du Shaoyang glared and said, "Why did the shopkeeper collect me forty-eight taels of silver?"
Seeing that they had drunk two jars of red date wine on the table, Xue He smiled and continued to explain, "Young Master, don't know. The two jars of date wine you drank are nine taels per jar of silver, so the dishes are thirty taels and the wine is 18 taels."
When Xue He said this, He Huanzhu and the other two also came to Du Shaoyang, but before Du Shaoyang started to say anything, the young master who came out to mock Du Shaoyang could not help but lit up after seeing He Huanzhu.
His mind turned rapidly and suddenly said, "Hey, country bumpkin, if you don't have the money to pay the bill, it's easy. Let this girl accompany me in and have some wine, and then this young master will invite you to pay for your wine. How about it?"
Du Shaoyang's young master spoke in front of him so frivolously and unrestrained, and he was furious. You know, He Huanzhu is his reverse scale, and how could he let others tease him? In addition to Du Shaoyang, He Bizhu and another disciple of Ziyun Sect were also very angry.
In their opinion, the children of this aristocratic family were simply too rampant.
