Chapter 86 Sea Palace
When Wen Xiu heard this, she felt that it made sense. Zhao Peng has indeed often eaten in restaurants recently.
"After reading so much, is there nothing you like?" Sister Wen Xiu asked.
Zhao Peng thought for a moment and said, "The one near the pedestrian street is good."
Sister Wen Xiu thought for a moment and said, "You mean that the rent is 850,000 yuan a year?"
Zhao Peng nodded and said, "That's him."
"It's too expensive." Sister Wen Xiu said.
Zhao Peng nodded and said, "Yes, we still have too little money."
Sister Wen Xiu said quickly, "I watched TV yesterday and said that the city is now trying to increase the construction of the development zone. Why don't we go to the development zone? Maybe we can find a suitable one there.
Zhao Peng's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he nodded, "Yes, why didn't I think of it? Sister Wen Xiu is still smart, and she thinks of it all at once. The house prices in the development zone will certainly not be as expensive as in the city, and the prospects are also good.
Sister Wen Xiu said, "Anyway, we can't open too high-end restaurants. The development zone is more suitable."
Zhao Peng stared at Wen Xiujie with wide eyes and said, "Sister Wenxiu, do you know a lot?"
"I know what, just say it casually." Sister Wen Xiu said with a smile.
Zhao Peng said seriously, "It makes sense to say it casually. It's amazing, it's amazing!"
"Go, stop it, eat quickly. Go back early after eating and go to the development zone tomorrow. Sister Wen Xiu said.
"Okay, listen to Sister Wen Xiu." Zhao Peng said and accelerated the speed of eating.
The next morning, Zhao Peng and Wen Xiujie took the train to the development zone.
Dongbin City is about 15 kilometers away from the development zone. The scenery in the middle of the road is very good, and the air is much fresher than that in the city. After arriving at the development zone, Zhao Peng found that it was more like a huge construction site than the urban area. The road is very wide, but there are not many cars. Construction sites on both sides of the road can be seen everywhere, but the packaging of the construction site is not bad. The walls are very high, and there are green patterns on the walls, which are not so dilapidated.
After Zhao Peng and Wen Xiujie got off the bus in the most lively business district of the development zone, they strolled around and found that most of the restaurants here were relatively simple. Most of the guests received are from the construction site. There are few high-end guests, and the business is not very good. However, the business of those small shops such as ramen restaurants is very prosperous.
As they walked, the two came to the seaside. Zhao Peng saw that it was getting late and said, "Sister Wenxiu, let's find a place to eat."
Sister Wen Xiu nodded and said, "There seems to be a restaurant in front of you."
Zhao Peng looked in the direction of Wen Xiujie and saw a restaurant by the sea. This hotel is a two-story independent co-built building. Although the building is not very new, the exterior decoration is very good. When the two came to the door of the hotel called Hai Palace, Zhao Peng suddenly found that the location of the hotel was very good. The front faces the sea, and the hotel gate is 50 or 60 meters away from the seawall. It's just that this building is surrounded by a low courtyard wall, which feels relatively closed.
Zhao Peng didn't understand why this restaurant didn't tear down the wall, so it would look much more spacious. There will be a feeling of close contact with the sea.
The two walked into the restaurant and found that the decoration of the restaurant was not bad, but it was very deserted. It had reached the time of lunch, and there were only four or five tables of guests. In the huge hall, five or six waiters were chatting happily, and a woman was stinging melon seeds in the bar.
After Zhao Peng and Wen Xiu came in, no usher came to receive them at the first time. When the two came to the booth, the waiter picked up the order.
"Sir, how many?" The waiter's voice was a little rough. He heard that he had just come out of the countryside and had no experience.
"You two, do you have any specialties?" Zhao Peng said while searching on the booth.
"The seafood in our sea palace is a specialty. Our master's seafood is very good. Why don't you try the seafood?" The waiter said.
Zhao Peng was too stiff when he heard this promotion, and he didn't have any technical content. Dongbin is a coastal city, and seafood is naturally a specialty. Who doesn't know? The price of seafood is high and the profit is large. It's okay to sell seafood, but it can't be so blunt. He took a look at the waiter and said, "Spicy fried clams, braised two yellow croakers, and a white shredded jellyfish skin. Both clams and yellow croakers are going to live, and I won't pay the bill if they die.
"Sir, don't worry! The seafood in our sea palace is alive. The waiter assured.
"Well, hurry up and get the food. We're hungry." Zhao Peng said.
"Okay, it will be fine soon." The waiter said and took Zhao Peng to a double table by the window and sat down.
Zhao Peng looked out of the window and found that this low courtyard wall was too inconvenient. Sitting here, he couldn't see the sea nearby. He asked Wen Xiujie, "Sister Wen Xiu, are you going to the bathroom?"
Sister Wen Xiu shook her head and said, "I won't go."
"Then I'll go to the bathroom." Zhao Peng stood up, walked to the bar, and asked the woman who was eating melon seeds, "Where is the bathroom?"
"Upstairs." The woman replied casually.
Zhao Peng glanced at this woman in her twenties and said to himself that this style is really the same as Zhou Hong in the past. He went down the stairs to the second floor and saw that the second floor was full of private rooms, but there was only one private room with a waiter at the door. This means that there is only one table of guests on the second floor. Zhao Peng walked into the bathroom and saw that the hygiene of the bathroom seemed to be okay, but in fact, it was only on the surface. If it hadn't been for spraying too much freshener, the taste would have been very strong.
When Zhao Peng came down from upstairs, he found that all three dishes had been served. Zhao Peng was very surprised. He looked at the three dishes carefully and asked Wenxiu, "Sister Wenxiu, how do you think of these three dishes?"
Sister Wen Xiu frowned slightly and said, "Isn't it good? Yellow croakers should not be alive, and clams don't seem to be very clean. The shredded cabbage in the Jellyfish skin is not cut very well.
Zhao Peng smiled and said, "Sister Wenxiu, okay, they have become food experts."
Sister Wen Xiu said angrily, "Don't be sarcastic about me."
Zhao Peng smiled and said, "I'm just talking casually. Let's taste it."
With that, Zhao Peng picked up his chopsticks and picked up a clam first. After eating it, there was indeed sand. He ate another shredded cabbage with sapi, which didn't taste good, and it didn't feel refreshing at all. As for yellow croaker, you don't need to eat it. You can tell at a glance that it is a dead yellow croaker.
Sister Wen Xiu asked, "How's it going?"
"It's not good. Let Sister Wen Xiu say it right." Zhao Peng put down his chopsticks and shouted, "Waiter."
The waiter didn't know whether he was slow or didn't hear it, and no one answered. Zhao Peng had to shout again, "Waiter."
At this time, the waiter who had just ordered came out of the crowd and came over.
"Sir, is there anything else you need?" The waiter said.
Zhao Peng raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong with you? Look at this fish and this clam."
The waiter looked at it. In fact, she had already seen that the yellow croaker was dead. She smiled and said, "Sir, what's the problem?"
Zhao Peng said, "It's a big problem. The yellow croaker is obviously dead, and the clams have not been washed clean. Is this how you do business?"
In fact, the waiter didn't take Zhao Peng and Ruan Wenxiu seriously. In fact, she had already heard that the two were not locals, especially Sister Wenxiu's foreign accent was obvious. She smiled and said, "Sir, our sea palace will not sell dead seafood."
Zhao Peng was looking for trouble today. He said unkindly, "Call your manager."
"Our manager is not here." The waiter's reaction was very fast.
Zhao Peng smiled and said, "There are always stews, right?"
The waiter saw that Zhao Peng was very resolute, so she had to say, "Wait a moment." After saying that, he walked to the bar.
Zhao Peng saw the waiter say two words to the woman at the bar, and then walked to the kitchen. When he arrived at the Chuancai mouth, he shouted inside, "Master Li,..."
Zhao Peng couldn't hear the following words. Obviously, she was talking to Master Li about the dishes. Zhao Peng didn't expect that the waiter would go to the kitchen to find someone. It seems that Master Li has a lot of power in this sea palace. After the waiter said a few words, a burly chef came out of the kitchen. This Master Li is not only burly, but also has a burly face, with thick eyebrows and small eyes, beard, and is very handsome.
Zhao Peng looked at Master Li who came over angrily and said to himself, what kind of restaurant, something happened, and it actually made a chef show up, and this behavior is clearly an underworld! ...Hey hey, I've caught the murderer, and I'm afraid that you are a fake gangster. Zhao Peng didn't wait for Master Li to come closer, so he shouted, "Can you hurry up?"
Master Li has scared many people with this heroic style. He thought it would work this time, but he didn't expect that this guy was not afraid at all, but he seemed to be more tough.
"What's going on?" Master Li came to Zhao Peng and looked at Zhao Peng.
"What's going on? You don't know! Do you want me to say it twice?" Zhao Peng said domineeringly.
As soon as Master Li heard it, this boy is good! With a big tone, he asked, "What's going on?"
"Ask your waiter." Zhao Peng said impatiently.
Master Li is not very good at acting. He knew what was going on for a long time. He was so anxious that he didn't even make a fake move to ask the waiter, so he said directly, "All the seafood in our sea palace is alive, and it is impossible to die. Can a clam without sand be alive?
Zhao Peng glanced at Master Li and said disdainfully, "You mean I'm unreasonable?"
Master Li is also a well-informed person. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't mean that."
"I don't mean that. What do you mean?" Zhao Penghuo stood up.
At this time, the woman at the bar finally couldn't sit still. She came out of the bar and came to Zhao Peng and said, "Sir, don't be angry. There is something to say."
Zhao Peng sat down slowly and didn't look at Master Li and the woman. Sister Wen Xiu felt strange. Why did Zhao Peng lose his temper so much? Did he have any idea?
"Sir, I assure you in the reputation of the sea palace that the seafood in our sea palace is alive." Women are now talking with the mentality that you are dead and have no proof. Anyway, the fish has been stewed and can't be restored. Who knows whether it's dead or alive.
Zhao Peng glanced at the woman and said, "The live fish will be rolled up where the knife has been changed, and the fins will stand upright. Look at this fish."
After Zhao Peng said this, he caught a glimpse of a tall and thin man at the top of the stairs stopping his footsteps to go upstairs. He remembered that the man should be a guest upstairs. He had just sent a man downstairs and was about to go back.
When the woman saw what Zhao Peng said, her smiling face immediately disappeared and said unhappily, "Sir, what you said can't prove that the two fish are dead at all."
"Then how do you prove that these two fish are alive?" Zhao Peng asked disdainfully.
