Chapter 480 The real owner appears
After settling Wu Qiang and the other guys here, Zheng Liang and Chen Liangzi looked at the time and saw that it was almost time.
So after saying hello to Wu Qiang and the others, he headed north along the coastline.
When they called in the afternoon, the man told Chen Liangzi and the others that the address was in Beihuan.
This was also what Chen Liangzi asked while he was strolling on the street in the afternoon.
After entering the ring road, they took a taxi and went there according to the location given by the man.
Although taking a taxi is really expensive at this time, it is no big deal in the eyes of Chen Liangzi and others.
They are now in a situation where they are short of big money but have no shortage of small money.
After arriving at Yong'an Teahouse, Chen Liangzi and Zheng Liang got out of the car.
Zheng Liang looked at the taxi going away and couldn't help but follow it with his eyes and sighed.
"It's still good to have a car, it's convenient to go anywhere!"
Chen Liangzi followed Zheng Liang's gaze and called Zheng Liang to go upstairs quickly.
"Okay, Lao Zheng, stop being sentimental. It's just a car, right? We'll all have one in the future. Let's get down to business first!"
After listening to this, Zheng Liang nodded and followed Chen Liangzi to the teahouse.
The teahouses in Hong Kong are not like ours, which are places specifically for drinking tea.
For teahouses in Hong Kong Island, it is more accurate to describe them as tea restaurants.
If the design of a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant wants to showcase the tea restaurant culture, we have to start with the history of Hong Kong-style tea restaurants.
In Hong Kong Island, people generally regard ice houses as the predecessor of tea restaurants.
(The so-called Young and Dangerous Kowloon Ice House and so on, this is what I mean.)
Ice houses are a type of snack bar that emerged in Hong Kong Island after World War II. They mainly provide drinks such as coffee, milk tea, and red bean ice, and are accompanied by snacks such as sandwiches and cream toast. Some even have bakeries that make fresh pineapple buns, egg tarts, etc.
The main difference between Hong Kong-style tea restaurants and ice houses is that ice houses only sell snacks and not meals.
However, as the times changed, ice cream parlors that did not sell rice found it difficult to survive, so most of them declined between the 80s and 90s. The remaining ice cream parlors also followed the operation of tea restaurants and sold a wider variety of food.
Although it is called an ice room, it is actually a tea restaurant in essence.
(As of 2007, there were only about 1960 or so ice houses still operating under the name of ice houses, most of which opened in the 1970s to early s).
Later, the types of food provided by ice houses gradually increased, and they were combined with the models of Western restaurants and dining rooms to evolve into tea restaurants, providing traditional Chinese stir-fries and European and American food. Later, they developed into dinner side dishes, with a wide variety of styles.
After Chen Liangzi and Zheng Liang went upstairs, a waiter naturally came to ask for their reserved room number.
Don't be surprised. During this period, Hong Kong Island had already gradually transformed from an economic model dominated by import and export bans to an economic model dominated by the service industry and the entertainment industry.
Therefore, various sophisticated services have begun to take shape.
After Chen Liangzi reported the private room number to the waiter, the waiter quickly took them into the room.
However, after they entered the private room, no one came over.
Obviously, they arrived a little early.
Zheng Liang didn't care at all, it was just a matter of waiting a little longer.
As for Chen Liangzi, he understood what the other party meant.
Again, it's just to dampen their momentum.
Since they already knew the other party's plan, Chen Liangzi and the others didn't care anymore.
I called the waiter directly and started taking the order.
Chen Liangzi thought that they should relax a little. There was no need to be led by the nose just because the other party was late.
It doesn't matter even if they have to pay for it themselves in the end, it's just a small amount of money.
But what he actually didn't know was that in a tea restaurant of this size, which is considered to be quite large, a deposit must be paid in advance for each private room booked, and the threshold is quite high!
Therefore, even if he ordered a lot of dishes, the deposit would cover the entire cost for him.
Chen Liangzi glanced at the names of the dishes on the menu and drooled from time to time at the color photos of various signature dishes printed on the wall.
There was no other way but to shout to the waiter.
"Hello, let's order!"
The waiter agreed very respectfully and then fixed his eyes on him.
"I took a look, and these dishes are your signature dishes, right? Things like the shrimp dumplings and the dry fried beef noodles!"
Chen Liangzi also looked through the menu. Since he was not very familiar with Hong Kong-style tea restaurants, he simply turned directly to the signature features page. After seeing the signature dishes on it, he started ordering without any hesitation.
The dish of Shrimp Dumplings is actually called Crystal Shrimp Dumplings.
The crystal clear skin wraps the whole big shrimp. When you bite it, the juice overflows, it is tender and chewy, and tastes great!
As for the dry fried beef noodles, it is actually fried rice noodles. Chen Liangzi really didn’t understand it, but seeing that it was listed among the top ten signature dishes, he ordered it as well.
After watching the waiter write down the order, Chen Liangzi continued to order food without stopping.
"Lu Nai Hua, this is dessert, right? And those pineapple buns, I want two!"
I have to say that Chen Liangzi's strategy is really impeccable.
Aren’t the so-called signature dishes actually the choices made by countless diners before them for those who come after them?
Leaking Milk is indeed a very delicious dessert, and it is also a new product that has just been developed.
After cutting the custard with a knife, the condensed milk pours down like a waterfall.
The milk jelly also has a chewy texture and is sweet but not greasy.
Pineapple bun is a kind of toasted bread with a crispy outer layer and lava jam inside, which is sweet and delicious.
Paired with a cup of milk tea, it's a classic!
Chen Liangzi doesn't care what others think of him, whether they are rich or country bumpkins.
Now that you are here, if you don’t enjoy the food, it would be a waste of the expensive taxi fare.
So we continued to order things like rose soy sauce chicken, curry fish balls, lard rice, iced lemon tea, milk tea, etc. We ordered everything.
When the dishes came up one after another, Chen Liangzi and Zheng Liang simply stopped thinking about making an appointment to discuss the transfer of the store.
If you don't enjoy the delicious food, you will be disrespecting these expensive, exquisite and delicious foods.
Zheng Liang couldn't put down his chopsticks since the dishes started being served.
The two of them had a great time eating and drinking.
It was not until they were almost done eating that a middle-aged man who looked quite capable walked in.
As soon as he came in, he bowed repeatedly to Chen Liangzi and apologized.
"Oh, sorry to have kept you waiting. I had something urgent to do and couldn't get away, so that's why you've been delayed for so long!"
When Chen Liangzi saw the person coming, he wiped his hands, then stood up and started nodding and greeting!
