Chapter 310: Chaogeyuan

Chao Geyuan.
When he saw the words on the plaque hanging above the door, Fang Ming looked up for a second or two and then looked back.
"Fang Ming, do you know which dish this private dish is best at?"
When Tang Yan walked to the door, he suddenly looked back at Fang Ming, who was obviously looking for Fang Ming.
"If there is nothing wrong, it should be a vegetarian meal."
Hearing Fang Ming's answer, Tang Yan had a surprised look on her face, "Have you been here before?"
"No, this is my first time here, and this is my first time in Beijing." Fang Ming shook his head and replied.
"Then how do you know that this private kitchen is good at vegetarian meals?" Tang Yan looked puzzled, and she also learned about Chen Ze's introduction in the car.
"It's very simple. Isn't the name of the Siheyuan already explained?" Fang Ming pointed to the plaque, which made Tang Yan more puzzled. What can the name say in Chaogeyuan?
"Zhaoge Yexian fifty miles, eight hundred princes Zhaoling Mountain."
Ye Ziyu aside suddenly whispered, "The name of this courtyard should be taken from this poem, although this poem is about the heyday of the Song Dynasty's Guodu Chaoge. All spread to fifty miles away, and hundreds of princes came to pay tribute."
"Lingshan in this poem should be a mountain near Chaoge, but if the name of this yard comes from this poem, it is obvious that there is something wrong with the horse's head. How can a restaurant and a city be connected? The only thing is It may be that the shop borrows the literal meaning in the poems and compares the visitors to the 800 princes, and this Lingshan is naturally a famous Buddhist holy place."
"Visitors enter the courtyard as if they were in Lingshan. As a pilgrim, they naturally eat the meal." Ye Ziyu smiled lightly on his face. "Brother Fang Ming, am I right?"
"Yes."
Fang Ming nodded. This store name is really just borrowing the literal meaning of this poem.
"Hello, you two don’t show off literary talent here, poetry related to Chao Ge is more than just this sentence, for example: Phoenix Chao Ge hates each other lately, Qingshui Qingping reflects the king’s heart, doesn’t it also have Chao Ge? ?"
As a student of Shuimu University, Tang Yan's ancient writing skills are not low.
"The reason is simple, because I still smell the scent of Zen."
Fang Ming smiled slightly. He asked about Zen incense at the entrance of this store. Generally speaking, restaurants like restaurants do not put Zen incense at the entrance, because Zen incense has an effect on people's appetite. In general, restaurants also put zen incense in the bathroom to deodorize and eliminate mosquitoes.
A restaurant smelled the scent of Zen before entering the restaurant. Fang Ming came to such a judgment only after combining the name of the store.
"Okay, you are awesome."
Tang Yan pouted, and the reason why she raised this question was just to make things difficult for her to meditate, so that she could retaliate Fang Ming to say something about her privacy.
There are several courtyards in the entire Chaoge Courtyard, and Fang Ming entered the third courtyard. This courtyard is filled with flowers and plants, and in the middle of the courtyard is a Maitreya Buddha.
"This restaurant is also unique. The other restaurants either display the beckoning cat or the of wealth, but this hotel is actually a Buddha." Zhang Shuqi was curious when she saw the Maitreya Buddha at the moment.
"Isn't it said that the Buddha statues can't be arbitrarily placed? Otherwise, it's disrespect for the Buddha."
Ye Ziyu looked at Fang Ming with doubts. The pretty face had a puzzled look. Because of Fang Ming, she had read many books about Taoism and Buddhism in recent years, so she knew some taboos.
"General Buddha statues cannot be placed naturally, but Maitreya Buddha is different. In Buddhism, Maitreya Buddha is the most special one. In Mahayana Buddhism, he is the future Buddha, that is, the future Buddha who inherits the position of Sakyamuni. In our country, most of the sculptures of Maitreya Buddha are based on the monks of cloth bags, and the belly can accommodate everything in the world."
"It is precisely because of the tolerance of Maitreya Buddha, so Maitreya Buddha can be placed there, and smiles to welcome people, it will always make people feel comfortable."
Hearing Fang Ming's explanation, Ye Ziyu's pretty face showed a sense of enlightenment.
"This little brother has a lot of research on Buddhism."
Just as Fang Ming and Ye Ziyu explained, a voice suddenly came from the side. Fang Ming and Ye Ziyu turned around and saw an old man walking towards them.
"Introduce myself. My name is Zeng Guangnan. I am the owner of this store. I welcome a few friends to our restaurant."
Zeng Guangnan smiled, and Fang Ming and Ye Ziyu also reported their names.
"I also heard the discussions of the two little friends at the door of the store. I can see the meaning of my store name at a glance. The two little friends are the first, so this time no matter how much the two little friends spend in our store. , Unified 30% discount."
"Then thank the boss."
Fang Ming is also not polite. Since the boss said so, it would be hypocritical if he refused it again. Moreover, the 30% discount would not make the owner lose money. Generally, the price of this kind of private house food is several times the cost.
The more upscale hotels are, the more so because the food is not only the dishes, but also the service and environment.
Zeng Guangnan greeted him and left. Fang Ming and Ye Ziyu also entered a box next to them, and Chen Ze was already sitting in the box.
"We ordered four dishes. You guys see what else to eat."
When Chen Ze saw Fang Ming coming in, he directly handed over the menu. Although Chen Ze's person was a little unreasonable on weekdays, he had to say that the details were handled properly.
Fang Ming has a total of six people. Under normal circumstances, four dishes are definitely not enough, so Chen Ze handed the menu to Fang Ming at this time, no matter how Fang Ming they will order one or two dishes, and there will be no What psychological burden.
This is not the same as some people. Some people invite guests to show their generosity. A person first orders a table full of food, and then asks a friend what to order, even if the friend really has something they want to eat, but generally this time There will only be a sentence "There are enough dishes, no need to order."
Fang Ming and Ye Ziyu each ordered a dish, and finally Chen Ze added two more dishes, which was to arrange the waiter to place an order.
"It's not my bragging. The vegetarian dishes in this private kitchen are absolutely unique, and the average person may not have the opportunity to eat them because the owner of this shop is very charismatic and only opens one week a month."
"One week a month, how can he make money? The rent of this courtyard should be very expensive." Tang Yan looked curious. Isn't opening a restaurant to do business just to make money?
"This courtyard house should be the owner's own, so there is no rent, and I guess the boss should have another business. It is more of interest to open this restaurant."
Fang Ming raised his mouth aside. Some words he didn't say. When he saw the boss's face, he already saw something.
"It should be the reason. I have many friends who open cafes and bars. They are very self-willed. They open when they want to open, and turn off when they don't want to open."
Chen Ze smiled. His friends are all rich second generation. He opened cafes and bars just to pick up girls. He didn't expect to make money on this.
...
While Fang Ming and others were chatting and waiting to serve, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open, and Zeng Guangnan appeared at the door.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry. There was something urgent in the shop, so I might not be able to entertain you. The next time you come, the shop will entertain you for free."
Zeng Guangnan's expression of apology, however, Chen Ze's face is still a bit ugly, this meal has not been eaten suddenly by the owner of the shop to be rushed out, no one will be in a good mood.
"Boss, do you think we are the ones who are missing a meal?"
Facing Chen Ze’s rhetorical question, Zeng Guangnan was also helpless. He knew that he was coming, and he would not open the door today.
"Forget it, since the boss has said so, there must be some reason, let's change one, anyway, it's still early."
On the side, Zhang Shuqi made a round, and when Zhang Shuqi said so, Chen Ze was not good enough to refuse to rush, but still dissatisfied, and finally walked outside the box door.
"Little friend, I'm really sorry."
When Fang Ming walked out of the box, Zeng Guangnan said apologetically.
"The boss said it seriously, and there are some unexpected things that can be understood."
Fang Ming waved his hand, and when they walked out of the box towards the lobby, a strong voice suddenly came from the lobby.
"Xiao Zeng, what's the matter, how can I see that you have left so many cars outside, is it because of my arrival that your shop won't open again, and if that's the case, the old man wouldn't come again."
When the voice came, Zeng Guangnan's face changed, and there was a wry smile on his face. He whispered to Fang Ming, "Xiaoyou, I hope you can cooperate with me later."
After saying this, Zeng Guangnan quickly walked towards the lobby, and when Fang Ming and others came to the lobby, they saw an old man with white hair standing in the center of the lobby. It’s big, but the whole person is still standing straight, while the old man is followed by two young men. His eyes are like a torch. Fang Ming saw several people coming out of the yard, staring closely at Fang Ming and others. .
"The chief, the things that are not there are some of my relatives, just leaving now." Zeng Guangnan quickly explained.
"What chief, I'm just a retired old man now." The old man glared at Zeng Guangnan, then his eyes fell on Fang Ming and others, then he grunted dissatisfiedly.
"I said, Xiao Zeng, do you think that I am old, and my eyes are dizzy? These are your younger generations. Then your girl tells Lao Tzu what their name is."
