Siheyuan: I have super connections

Jia Zhang came here with Liu Haizhong, and there were more than ten neighbors who came together, just to see how the store opened by Bai Jingxuan was like.

Before they even entered, Liu Haizhong said: "Sister-in-law Jia, this shop opened by Xiaobai is too big, and it can't be compared with yours."

Jia Zhang snorted. Although she was very unhappy, no matter how blind she was, she couldn't say that Jia's restaurant was better than the first floor.

They came in and looked around curiously.

A neighbor said: "How much money does this novice have? Can he afford to open such a big store?"

"Hmph, he must have been greedy for a lot of money after being a manager for so long."

"That's right, his mall is right next to it, and the things here must have been taken from the mall."

A waiter couldn't help but said: "Don't talk nonsense, our boss brought everything in this store from his own home."

After everyone heard this, they immediately stopped talking.

Just then, a neighbor seemed to see a familiar person.

He asked: "Aunt Jia, is Huaihua working as a waiter here? Why didn't you say anything?"

Jia Zhang was stunned for a moment and said, "How is it possible? She has been working in the steel rolling mill. Did you read that correctly?"

The neighbor pointed at a waiter in the distance and said, "Look, is that Sophora japonica?"

Jia Zhang looked more and more like her, but she didn't say anything. She just came to her side quietly and shouted, "Sophora japonica, what are you doing here?"

Huaihua was startled. When she turned around, she saw Jia Zhang.

"Nai... Nai, why are you here?"

"Why can't I come? If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known you were working here! Where is your job at the steel rolling mill?"

"I...I resign!"

In fact, Huaihua didn't tell the truth. She sold her job and went to work for Bai Jingxuan.

Of course she hid the money and didn't let her mother and grandmother know about it.

Mrs. Jia Zhang didn't believe her, so she said coldly: "Sophora japonica, tell the truth!"

"I really quit my job...well, I sold my job!"

"Where's the money? Give me the money as soon as you get home!"

In fact, Mrs. Jia Zhang had nothing to do with Huaihua selling her job to come here. Instead, she thought it was a wise move.

Working here costs 80 yuan a month. How many years does Huaihua have to work in the factory to earn such a high salary?

What made her angry was that Huaihua dared to keep the money instead of handing it over.

Jia Zhang decided to go back and teach her a lesson.

At this time, Liu Haizhong came over and said, "Sister-in-law, let's talk about Sophora japonica after we go back. Let's sit down first. Sophora japonica, if there is any room available, please take us there."

"Oh, Second Grandpa, come over here."

Huaihua found a big table, sat them down, and handed over the menu.

Looking at the thick menu, Liu Haizhong didn't take it seriously at first, but when he saw the prices on it, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"The braised prawns cost fifty? The twice-cooked pork costs forty-eight? The braised pork costs eighty-eight? You are robbing money. Why is it so expensive?"

Huaihua said: "We are opening today and all dishes are 50% off, so it only costs half the money."

"Half is too expensive. Forty-four yuan, I can eat the meat myself until I vomit!"

"But the taste is incomparable to what we have here."

Jia Zhang is illiterate, but he knows numbers.

She pointed to the cheapest dish and asked, "What is this? It only costs ten yuan."

"This is stir-fried choy sum with mushrooms."

"What is cabbage sum?"

"It's just the tenderest leaves of the Chinese cabbage."

Ms. Jia Zhang almost jumped up. She said, "Are your mushrooms made of gold, or are your cabbages made of gold? It costs ten yuan to fry these two?"

Sophora japonica said helplessly: "Grandma, we have name-coded prices here. If you find it expensive, you don't have to eat it."

"I won't eat it. It's too expensive and I can't afford it."

Mrs. Jia Zhang stood up and left. The food prices here were too subversive to her understanding. There was no way she would be taken advantage of.

Liu Haizhong shook his head, stood up and left.

There were many people like him, and after a while, one-third of the people were missing from the scene.

Liu Yuehua gloated there and said: "Well, if you set such a high price, I think there will be a few people who dare to come here to eat."

Qu Buwei said: "They are taking a high-end route and are not trying to make money from ordinary people."

"How many rich people are there? If you don't make money from ordinary people, just wait until it closes down."

Just then, they heard a voice saying loudly: "Your store dares to charge such a high price, then I want to see if it's worth it. Make me a Buddha Jumping over the Wall, and some boiled cabbage!"

Qu Buwei was shocked when he heard this. He looked at the menu and found that these two dishes were indeed on it, but they were placed at the end, and it was also stated that these two dishes must be reserved in advance.

You can only order it if you make a reservation three days in advance.

Of course, their prices are also astonishing, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is 399 yuan, and boiled cabbage is 499 yuan!

You must know that the average person’s monthly salary now is only thirty or forty yuan. The price of these two dishes is almost the same as the average person’s annual salary!

A year's salary is just for this meal. Most people would not dare to do this.

Qu Buwei looked at the person who was speaking. He knew this person. He was a famous diner named Jin Youzhi.

Judging from his name, you know that he is a bannerman and a member of the former Qing royal family.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Jin Youzhi's father is Lord Beile of the former Qing Dynasty, and he has been rich and well-fed since he was a child.

Later, during the Republic of China, Jin Youzhi's father fell into despair and made a living by pulling a rickshaw.

Even 49 years later, the Jin family is still poor.

But just a few years ago, Jin Youzhi suddenly became rich.

He immediately bought his old house back, changed his wardrobe, and stopped working. His daily pleasure was to go to various restaurants and eat delicacies.

Some people speculate that his family was not poor before, but the situation was too chaotic at that time, so his family kept pretending to be poor.

It wasn't until the situation stabilized that he took out the family's money again.

Although everyone is guessing this, Jin Youzhi has never admitted it, so it is just everyone's guess and there is no proof.

The first floor opened today, and he came over to take a look as soon as possible.

When he saw the prices on the menu, he was not deterred, but instead became interested.

The waiter immediately said: "The shop is newly opened today. Our chef has already prepared several portions of Buddha Jumping over the Wall and boiled cabbage in advance. They can be served now. Are you sure you want them?"

"If you want, let's have another stewed dragon, a nine-turn large intestine, and Wensi tofu. That's it for the time being."

I have to say that Jin Youzhi is a real connoisseur. All the dishes he orders are expensive and difficult to prepare. People who have no skills may not be able to cook them.
