Qingyun Tower.
Shen Zhilan and Mrs. Shen were placed in a private room.
There were some calligraphy and paintings hanging here, and the decoration was very elegant. The people who served them the dishes were two young women with delicate makeup.
The waiters in restaurants are usually men, and decent restaurants will not allow women to serve food.
However, the two women were dressed very solemnly, and there was not a trace of frivolity in their words and deeds, which would not arouse people's bad thoughts.
They quickly brought two plates and placed them in front of Shen Zhilan and Madam Shen, and introduced with a smile: "Shopkeeper Shen, Madam Shen, this is the first dish of today, called boiled cabbage..."
Shen Zhilan was a little confused when she first saw this dish. After all, a cabbage flower in the bland soup looked too ordinary!
But after listening to the introduction... this boiled cabbage is so particular
Shen Zhilan and Madam Shen picked up some cabbage and tasted it...
The boiled cabbage tastes really delicious!
The people of Jiang'an Province do not grow cabbage, but both Shen Zhilan and Mrs. Shen have eaten cabbage before, and the cabbage today is definitely the most delicious cabbage they have ever eaten!
The second dish served was Wensi tofu.
The tender tofu was cut into thin strips and floated in the prepared soup... The chef's knife skills were obviously superb.
Next, braised lion head, squirrel mandarin fish, fried shrimp, etc. were served on the table one by one.
The portions are not big, but with ten dishes in total, they are definitely enough to fill you up.
The penultimate dish was boiled pork slices: "Manager Shen, Madam Shen, this is boiled pork slices, the one we used is the yellow cattle bought from the northern grasslands..."
Mrs. Shen picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and put it in her mouth, and she felt the amazing spicy taste exploding on her tongue.
It’s really delicious!
She had never eaten such delicious meat before!
Even the bean sprouts under the meat slices were eaten up by her.
The last thing served was a plate of seafood fried rice.
Mrs. Shen could no longer eat, but Shen Zhilan, who had just eaten something spicy and couldn't stand it, ate a lot with relish.
After the meal, both Mrs. Shen and Shen Zhilan felt that they had gained some knowledge.
The food they ate on a normal day was also very exquisite, but definitely not as complicated as it is today.
It was also at this time that Chang Duan, who had changed his clothes, came into the private room and talked to them with a smile.
Chang Duan hosted Shen Zhilan and his wife for a banquet out of gratitude, and only said some polite words, not mentioning anything that should not have been mentioned.
Shen Zhilan and his wife did not feel anything wrong. They thought that Duan Jin's invitation to dinner was instructed by Eunuch Lu.
The two left the restaurant, it was already late.
Shen Zhilan said to his wife, "Madam, the good days of our Shen family are still to come!"
Madam Shen asked, "Aren't you afraid of being hated by King Jin?"
"The Shen family has long been hated by him, and..." Shen Zhilan raised her lips: "After tomorrow, King Jin will not be a problem to us!"
Although he was a businessman, he was very concerned about important events in the court.
Before, King Jin was indeed at the peak of his power.
But this year, King Jin encountered many problems.
Sometimes, once people go downhill, they can never stop the decline. The King of Jin was on the downhill slope.
Another point is that he is a businessman and is well-informed... Not to mention Eunuch Lu, the Prince of Yan is not a simple person either...
