   "It smells good."

  Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when the beautifully arranged dishes were just served on the table.

  Although everyone had already smelled the aroma of these dishes outside the restaurant before, but when these dishes were put in front of them, everyone realized that the tangy aroma they smelled just now was not even half of what they are now.

   "Is this an exotic vegetable?"

   "Why is the color of this vegetable purple?" Someone looked at the color of the eggplant and was very curious.

   "Let someone taste this exotic vegetable, what's so special about it?"

  Finally, someone couldn't bear the temptation of the aroma, and was the first to move his chopsticks.

This person was the first to pick up fried eggplant, because among all the exotic vegetables, the color of eggplant was the most gorgeous and peculiar, and the moment he just put the eggplant in his mouth, this person's face was visible to the naked eye. Speed, the color of intoxication emerges.

   Seeing this, the rest of the people reached out and picked up their chopsticks one after another...

   Next second.

   Various emotions surfaced on everyone's faces one after another.

"tasty!"

   “It has a rich taste.”

   "The taste of this exotic vegetable is really unique."

   "No, not only the vegetables, but also the seasoning, the seasoning here is the key."

   "Indeed, and the cooking methods of these dishes are extremely rare. I have traveled to various countries in these years, and only in Songhai, the land of Qilu, I have seen similar cooking methods."

   Waves of exclamations continued to come from the mouths of everyone.

   Among these people, there are many veterans who have been immersed in food for many years. They can almost see at a glance that the reason why these dishes are so delicious is not just because of the unique raw materials.

   What really changes the taste of these dishes is mainly some seasonings and the secret cooking method of the back kitchen.

  However, these secret seasonings and cooking techniques are obviously the secret techniques of Baichuan Restaurant, and it is impossible to easily disclose them to the diners.

  So the people at the dinner table just asked casually: "Xiao Er, where do you get the seasonings in this dish?"

  The person who originally spoke did not expect to get an answer, but just subconsciously asked one more question out of businessman's habit.

   Unexpectedly, the waiter actually replied: "If you come back to the guest officer, all the ingredients and seasonings in this restaurant come from Hanzhong County. If you are interested in the dishes of this restaurant, just go to Hanzhong to know."

   The voice just fell.

   Not only the person who asked the question just now, but also the guests at the same table and the nearby tables all suddenly raised their heads and stared at the waiter.

   "Is this true?"

   "I don't dare to deceive all distinguished guests." The waiter said respectfully.

  Hearing these words, many people felt ready to move, but there were also some who remained calm and didn't immediately believe it. Instead, they squinted their eyes and said suspiciously.

   "Xiao Er, is it really okay for you to tell us such confidential information like this? Are you not afraid that the shopkeeper will trouble you?"

The waiter in the shop gave a "hey" and said: "Hey~~ This guest officer is thinking too much. What I said is not a secret, and now the whole Hanzhong is full of exotic vegetables. Although those exotic spices The number is small, but it won’t be long before they will start selling, and the small ones are just selling favors to distinguished guests.”

   "Actually, even if a few distinguished guests don't ask the younger ones, it is estimated that within a few days, such goods will almost appear on the market in Xianyang."

   Speaking of this, the shop waiter smiled mysteriously, and continued: "What's more, the real secret of this restaurant is not in these dishes. Above the third floor is the real good place of this restaurant!"

   Crash!

  After the waiter finished speaking, many guests who were sitting at the table just now couldn't sit still.

   "I still have important things to do, please take it easy, I will go ahead."

"me too."

   "Xiao Er, the meal money is here."

   "I'll give you one gold, so you don't have to look for it."

   A group of people stood up one after another, took out coins and put them on the table, and then walked out of the restaurant without stopping.

   In the blink of an eye.

  The lobby on the first floor, which had just been overcrowded, suddenly became empty. There were only three or four guests sitting on the table blankly, a little at a loss.

   Seeing these people leave in a hurry without taking a bite, the waiter not only didn't stop them, but watched them leave with a smile on their faces.

  Wait until these people are all out the door.

  The shop waiter collected the food money on the table, and called other waiters to clean up the dishes on the table one by one, and then comforted the remaining guests.

  Afterwards, the waiter in the shop picked up a few new dishes again and walked up to the third floor.

  The weather has been getting cooler recently.

The temperature on the second floor is still a bit low, but after walking up to the third floor, the temperature on the entire floor suddenly rises several degrees. In today's somewhat cool weather, not only can't feel the slightest cold, but it's a little hot. People want to undress.

  When the shop waiter went upstairs.

  The few customers who opened private rooms on the third floor before have all taken off their coats, and they are walking around the room with curious faces.

   "Xiao Er, how did your restaurant do it?"

  The faces of the people in the room were full of surprise. They thought that the "third floor is warm as spring" that the waiter said was nothing more than burning more charcoal on the third floor to raise the temperature.

  However, when they actually came to the third floor, they found that there was no smell of charcoal at all.

  But the temperature on the third floor is really much higher than that on the first and second floors. After a few people came up for a while, they were already so hot that they couldn't help taking off their previous thick coats.

   And they have also seen the 'public bath' on the third floor.

have to say.

  The scale of the bath also surprised them.

  Things like 'baths' are not very common nowadays, because with the current construction technology, the green bricks cannot be sealed well, and if you are not careful, it will easily leak.

  Especially the larger the bath, the more prone to problems.

  So now even many big families generally use wooden barrels for bathing, or build a small bathtub.

   It is hard not to be shocked by a large bath like the third floor of Baichuan Restaurant.

   What made them even more puzzled was how Baichuan Restaurant managed to keep the water temperature in the bath at all times. You must know that when they took a bath at home, they needed servants to add hot water frequently to maintain the temperature.

   However, the 'public bath' here is not served by servants at all, and the water in it can be kept warm all the time, which is really hard for them to understand.

   "Hey~ Guest officers, this is a bit embarrassing for you. The third floor and above of this restaurant are all the secrets of the owner's house, and you really can't answer your small questions!"

  The shop waiter put the dishes on the table one by one, and when he heard the inquiries from several people, he immediately showed embarrassment.

   See here.

   Several people in the private room on the third floor also realized that it was not appropriate to ask this question.

  So he sat back in his seat, first took a sip of the dishes on the table, his eyes lit up, and he said, "It's delicious, as expected of an exotic style. Xiao Er, your restaurant is really innocent!"

to be honest.

   Originally, although a few people didn't say anything about spending a gold coin to enter the third floor, they still felt a little bit of a loss in their hearts.

  But when they came to the third floor and saw so many "magic" that they had never seen before, they soon felt that this gold coin was not in vain.

   And now that a few people have tasted the taste of the restaurant's dishes, they feel that this gold coin is not only not a loss, but a bit of a profit.

   "By the way, Xiaoer, what did those people on the first floor do just now?"

  While feasting, they suddenly remembered what they had just seen on the third floor, and asked a question.

   "Those distinguished guests should have gone to Hanzhong!"

  The shop waiter replied.

   After finishing speaking, he repeated what he had just said to the guests on the first floor.

After listening to the waiter's words, in the private room on the third floor, several people stopped eating suddenly: "Wait~~ You mean, the exotic vegetables, seasonings, and even cooking methods of your restaurant can be bought in Hanzhong? "

"Yes!"

  The shop waiter replied honestly.

  In an instant.

  The expressions of the people on the third floor suddenly froze.

  At this moment, the few people felt that the delicious food in their mouths was no longer delicious, and then they looked at each other. The next second, they saw them standing up suddenly, and directly patted a handful of gold coins on the table.

  Boom~~

   "I still have something to do, the meal money is here, so I don't have to look for it."

   Finished speaking.

  Seeing that the group of people didn't even have time to put on their coats, they hurriedly opened the door and walked out of the private room.

  The shop waiter did not stop him, and watched the group leave with a smile on his face, then skillfully put away the gold coins on the table, and then called a few waiters to clean up the mess on the table.

that's all.

  Baichuan Restaurant attracts a wave of customers almost every quarter of an hour.

  However, almost every wave of guests will leave in a hurry after staying in the restaurant for less than half an hour...

  ·······

  The top floor of the restaurant at this time.

  Mr. Mo was wearing a court dress that he hadn't had time to take off, and sat quietly by the window, watching the waves of guests leave in a hurry.

  In the room, the shopkeeper of Baichuan Restaurant was standing respectfully in front of Mo Jun, bowed his head and said, "My lord, according to your order, the news has been spread."

"Um!"

  Mr. Mo nodded slightly.

After seeing Mo Jun's answer, the shopkeeper of the restaurant had no other words. After waiting quietly for a long time, he still couldn't help hesitating and said, "That... my lord, is this really all right? If you let these After everyone learns the skill of 'stir-frying vegetables', will it have an impact on the restaurant's business?"

   "After all, even the chefs in our restaurant have received professional training from Chef Ding, but there are many capable people in the world, just in case..."

  The shopkeeper of the restaurant hadn't finished speaking, but the meaning was already obvious.

to be honest.

  Actually, the shopkeeper of the restaurant is still somewhat puzzled by Mo Jun's series of operations. After all, there is no one who owns a restaurant in this world who would take the initiative to tell others his business secrets.

   Isn't it obvious to cultivate competitors for yourself?

  However, Mo Jun waved his hand indifferently to the concerns of the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as the restaurant in Xianyang can maintain the advantage of being above the third floor, the business will not be affected so easily."

   "My request to you, as long as the business here does not lose money, as for the others, you don't have to care too much."
