Chapter 53 Restaurant

Jinzun Tower, the largest and most famous restaurant in Beijing, is three stories high, with the fifth floors facing each other. There are flying bridges and sills between the buildings to communicate light and dark.

For such a luxurious restaurant, the prices of the dishes are also quite luxurious. A dish of fried vegetables costs ten taels of silver.

As soon as you enter the gate, you can see people coming and going, and the noise is endless.

The waiter came up to us and said, "I'd like to say hello to the young master and the ladies. I wonder if the young master and the ladies have any seats that they like?"

Bigger seats," Zhao He said.

"Sir, girl, please follow me to the second floor." The waiter stretched out his hand to guide us.

The group of people was led to a large private room on the second floor.

The private room is extremely exquisitely decorated, with famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, exquisite tableware on the table, and a hollow screen separating the two tables.

The girls sit at the tables inside and the men sit at the tables outside.

Yang Hao suddenly said: "Don't be too reserved when you come out to play. Why not take down the screen and merge the two tables into one, which will be more lively."

This is also the case. Consider two people dining at the same table.

His proposal sounded reasonable and did not make anyone suspect that he had ulterior motives. However, Zhao He was so excited that he waved his hand and said, "Remove the screen."

The waiter in the store let him People came in, put away the screen, and sat at two tables, with men on the left and women on the right.

Yang Hao deliberately chose to sit opposite Zhao Wangshu so that he could see her every move openly.

"Sir, what would you like to eat?" the waiter asked.

"We are in a good mood today. Just serve the best dishes in your store and bring me a few bottles of the best wine." Zhao He said generously.

"Brother, if you want to go watch polo in the afternoon, don't drink." Zhao Chang advised.

Zhao He thought for a while, "Okay, let's serve some pots of good tea."

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." The waiter said and exited. Got a private room.

After the meeting, Dr. Tea brought two pots of tea, one pot of West Lake Longjing for the girls and one pot of Tieguanyin for the gentlemen.

Jinzun Restaurant is expensive. Whether it is tea or snacks, they are very particular. The taste of snacks is no worse than that of Taihe Restaurant.

Especially the pine nut and lily cake, with crispy outer skin, soft and smooth filling, and rich taste. You can taste the crispiness of pine nuts and the sweetness of lily in every bite, as if they are blooming in your mouth.Release a flower.

It is said that the production process is complicated and delicate. It requires the selection of fresh lilies and high-quality pine nuts. After repeated kneading and baking many times, the pine nut and lily cake can be made, which is golden and crispy on the outside and white, tender and sweet on the inside.

Of course, the price is also very beautiful, twenty-five taels of silver per plate, and one plate contains only six yuan, which is not enough for the girls to share, so it is served on two plates.

Zhao He toasted in celebration and said: "I'm so happy to have won so much money today! Come on, let's have a drink with tea instead of wine."

Everyone raised their glasses in response, and for a moment, the private room was filled with laughter and laughter.

After drinking three cups of tea, everyone started eating with chopsticks.

Yang Hao looked at Zhao Wangshu, who was eating ginger fish fillet elegantly across from him, and four words came to his mind: beautiful and delicious.

The fish meat is fresh and tender, with a smooth texture. The spicy taste of the ginger juice and the deliciousness of the fish meat blend together, making people have endless aftertaste.

Zhao Wangshu ate so happily that she didn't notice the burning gaze from the opposite side until she inadvertently raised her head and met Yang Hao's gaze. She was slightly startled and lowered her eyelids to continue eating fish.

The affection in Yang Hao's eyes was too obvious, but she had no feelings for Yang Hao between men and women.

It’s just that he didn’t say it clearly, and she couldn’t refuse it, so she just turned a blind eye.

Without drinking, the meal would not take too long. At the end of the day, the group was sitting in the stands of the polo field.

Polo is a hollow wooden ball. Playing polo is also known as "juju", "damu", "baju", etc. The tool used is a ju stick, also known as: " Moon Staff".

You can also bet on polo, and there are many types of bets. Some are betting on the victory of the team, some are betting on which team will score first, and some are betting on how many goals will be scored in the end

Zhao He won a big victory by betting in the morning, so he naturally wanted to continue his record in the afternoon and told his entourage, "Bet one thousand taels on the red team to win, and bet one hundred taels on the red team to score first."

I won thousands of taels of silver in the morning, and made big bets in the afternoon.

The two teams entered the field and the game began, with the red team serving first.

A lean man picked up the ball with his stick and accurately passed the ball to his own player's stick.

The game was extremely fierce, both sides were evenly matched, and a quarter of an hour passed without breaking the deadlock.

Zhao He stared nervously at the performance of the red team, secretly praying that the red team could take the lead.

Seeing that the red team missed a good opportunity to score again, he couldn't help but shouted in frustration: "Oops!" He had bet all his money on it.For the red team, I hope they can score first.

At this moment, a player of the red team cleverly used the strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west. It seemed that he was serving the ball towards the goal, but at the last moment he deflected the ball and before the opponent's goalkeeper could react, he hit the ball. Hit the ball hard towards the goal.

“I’m in, I’m in.” Zhao He danced with excitement.

After the red team scored, the morale of the whole team was greatly boosted, and they attacked like a wave and scored three goals in a row. Zhao He smiled with satisfaction and shouted proudly: "Hit the bet again."

This time the odds were one to two, and he could earn another two thousand taels of silver!

"Brother is really awesome." Zhao Chang and others complimented one after another.

"You can choose gifts later." Zhao He promised with a smile.

However, just when the red team seemed to have a chance to win, the white team did not give up. They still actively rode their horses and waved their sticks to compete fiercely with the red team.

The outcome of this game is still full of variables.

The players on the white team caught a mistake made by the players on the red team and scored the first goal.

Immediately afterwards, the white team scored the second goal and the third goal.

Such a wonderful game made the spectators cheer wildly. Zhao He’s smile gradually disappeared and he muttered to himself, “You won’t be tied, right?”

Bai The team's offensive became more and more fierce, and the red team showed signs of decline.

“Damn it, I’m going to lose.” Zhao He was so anxious that the veins on his forehead protruded.

Zhao Chang and others did not dare to speak out, and looked at Zhao He uneasily with their necks curled up.

The white team scored the fifth goal and overtook the red team.

"Waste! A bunch of waste." Zhao He cursed through gritted teeth.

Fortunately, the red team immediately scored a goal and the score was even again.

Zhao He took a long breath and clenched his fists to encourage himself, "We must win, we must win."

Although the red team scored three more goals, However, they still lost to the White team who scored four goals and lost by one goal.

Zhao He didn’t want to accept this result, but the game was over, and this was the result.

After leaving the polo field, Zhao He, who was in a bad mood, said: "Go back."

The money was lost, and the promise to buy gifts for his younger siblings was gone. The Fa was fulfilled, and no one dared to ask any more questions.
