Chapter 246 Grandmother Jia 48
The other room is the one we just saw. There are large windows on the north and south walls. There is a long sofa under the window, a coffee table next to the sofa, and a carpet on the floor. The stairs leading upstairs are outside the south window, so it will not affect the performance from the north.
This simple arrangement easily amazed everyone. Blankets are easy to find, real leather is not difficult to get, blue brick floors are also common, and there are many landscape paintings. But where can one get such transparent glass?
"Here is the menu, please order."
The ever-smiling waitress quickly handed over the menu.
Yun Xi took it and looked at it, not caring about the price. She said, "Let's have a shabu-shabu hot pot, a barbecue, and a serving of various dishes. Also, a pot of almond tea and a pot of apricot juice. Do the same for the other two rooms."
"Yes, the food will be served soon, please wait."
As soon as everyone sat down, a waitress came with a pot of tea.
"This is tea made from puffed tamarind. The weather is dry in March, and my throat is often itchy. This is a good drink."
Seeing this, Lanhua quickly asked the maid to serve tea to everyone.
It felt like not long before the pot and barbecue arrived.
Little Yingchun opened her mouth wide and pouted, "They're all raw?"
"This is the pot. Did Yingchun forget it? We only ate it during the Chinese New Year." He explained with a smile.
The maid quickly explained with a smile, "Madam, this is a little different from the pot. The pot is the base for lamb ribs, and this is the base for beef, chili, and mushrooms. The barbecue is also slightly different, marinated with spices, and the taste is very unique."
The maid's service was very thoughtful. She first put charcoal fire in the stove under the table, and then taught everyone how to eat hot pot.
"These seafood are the freshest, shipped from the Tianjin dock every day. These beef and offal come from cattle imported from the grasslands. Beef cattle can't be used for farming, so they can be slaughtered. Everyone, try some first..."
Tian Tian took a deep breath and put down the menu. It turned out that the price was reasonable.
"This one is so crispy!" Yingchun picked up the yellow bun and ate several bites in a hurry.
Yun Xi also liked it, "Huang Hou, two more plates."
"Yes."
Lanhua and other maids quickly learned how to do it, asked the maid to leave, and waited on the side. He ate a piece of yellow roar and said in surprise: "What is this? It's delicious!"
Yun Xi smiled but didn't answer. She was afraid that the other party would not be able to eat if he knew.
After dinner, the following performances began, starting with the opening dance.
A song "I am not yours" by a famous female star and the accompanying dance made the first-time guests exclaim in surprise.
Yuanchun's face was red but her eyes kept looking down.
"Grandma, there's a translator nearby!"
Shaochun had already come running and pointed cleverly at the vertical couplet on the side.
Fengchun pointed at the exotic women, his lips trembling and unable to speak.
“They, they!”
He was surprised, "Why are you wearing so little?"
The maid smiled and didn't explain.
He understood and shut up. Yun Xi looked for a while and then looked up at a window on the fifth floor.
"System, is he really the emperor?"
System: "Haha, your restaurant is so popular that many ministers come here for banquets. After seeing this kind of performance, can you please participate? The emperor came here just to see how outrageous it is."
Yun Xi wasn't too worried. "This restaurant generates 80,000 taels of profit for the emperor every month, which is 960,000 taels of silver a year. How could he be willing to part with it?"
The system was puzzled, "Why are you so confident?"
"Of course, this emperor is no ordinary emperor. He is a famous emperor who confiscates property. For the sake of money, he doesn't care about his reputation."
Yun Xi turned her head to look at the stage downstairs. The next song had already started to be performed. It was an easy-to-understand ancient style song. The dance was a combination of modern and ancient styles. Especially the dancers wearing flowing gauze skirts, which made the atmosphere on the scene more and more lively.
Many people stuck their heads out of the windows, watching and cheering, and throwing silver and copper coins down.
The more money is spread, the harder the dancers work, because they get a share of the money.
Yun Xi's original intention in doing this was to appeal to both the elite and the masses. There was nothing too elegant, as ancient people had seen enough of elegant programs. Of course, there was nothing too vulgar either, as those that were too vulgar would have to close down.
After the second dance, there was a festive and dynamic Charleston dance, which immediately brought the atmosphere to a climax.
After the three dances, a singer sang a song called "Gong Xi Fa Cai", which touched everyone's heart.
Little Yingchun couldn't help but hum along, "Congratulations on your fortune!"
This made everyone laugh so hard that the shy Yuanchun couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Yingchun pouted in anger, which made her even cuter.
After the song ended, a stage play of "Journey to the West" was performed. The audience was so excited that they all wanted to fly (hang) like a monkey.
Wang, who was feeling unwell, endured the discomfort and watched intently. If only there was a magic trick that could make her feel better instantly.
After a quarter-hour intermission, a skit began, telling a story between a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law, which was both funny and sad.
Yun Xi couldn't help but reach out and throw down two large gold ingots. She acted so well that having been a mother-in-law several times, it was easy for her to empathize with her.
There were gasps coming from all around. What a generous deal! Those two gold bars must be worth two hundred taels of silver.
"Dai Quan, go and see which one it is."
The emperor raised his chin and looked towards the private room where Yun Xi and the others were.
"Yes."
Dai Quan came back not long after he left, "My lord, that was the old lady of the Jia family who brought her family to watch the performance."
"It turned out to be her."
The emperor nodded, looked down, and began to perform magic. From a high vantage point, the secrets of the magic were clearly visible, which was the most boring thing.
After enduring this period, there will be an acrobatic performance, which is quite interesting because it shows real skills.
"What's on next?"
Dai Quan came forward holding the menu. The emperor took a look and said, "There are also two songs and two dances. What is the meaning of this?"
"Master, I heard it's a little science lesson about common sense. For example, last time they talked about why you shouldn't close the windows when burning coal, and the one before that was about how to treat choking, and how to treat drowning..."
"is that useful?"
Dai Quan said carefully, "Master, I heard that some clinics disdain this, but when I really encountered it, I still tried it. I didn't expect it to work."
"good."
The magic trick is over and today's performance is coming to an end.
Today's popular science lecture was about how to save oneself after being abducted. Believe it or not, most people listened very seriously.
Yun Xi looked at the grandchildren behind her and said, "Listen carefully, don't just cry when you encounter problems in the future. Crying won't solve any problems."
Yuanchun and the others nodded silently.
Hearing the gong sound, He looked down and said, "It's a dance!"
Yun Xi's mouth twitched. Can everyone accept this dance?
Trouble m...
Boom!Boom!Boom!
The music has started...
