At first glance, one could see a tall building in five steps, a pavilion in ten steps. The carved belt-like long corridor stood quietly. The raised eaves seemed to hug the sky, looking impressive.
It was not an ancient building, but a Chinese restaurant.
As night was coming, big red lanterns on the eaves lit up, surrounded by pine trees. The noise of the isolated city also isolated the lively and fast-paced city life.
Arya came here for the first time. She looked around carefully. "How do you know this place?"
Xavier took her out of the car and looked at her unfathomably. "Have a guess."
Arya curled her lips. Xavier knew so many people. How could she know it?
The deputy pushed Cullen in with Xavier. The deputy was also attracted by this unique building. "I didn't expect to see such a place in W City."
Cullen nodded slightly in agreement with the deputy.
Nowadays, people all pursued British or American decoration styles. Few people would be willing to spend money to build such a beautiful and practical pavilion.
After walking through the corridor and the pavilion, they saw a pavilion not far and a man stood in front wearing a suit and leather shoes, with a pair of frames on his face.
Arya stared at him closely and then saw his face clearly. "Isn't this Edward?"
Did Edward give up being a doctor and become a restaurant owner?
"Please come in. I've already arranged it." Edward led them into the pavilion. There was a mahogany round table, surrounded by the mahogany hollow wooden stool.
A huge red lantern hung on the top, and the red tassels swayed gently with the breeze.
Xavier put Arya down. Next to him was a mahogany basin rack. There was a wooden basin made of mahogany, holding water in it for washing hands before dinner.
Xavier was afraid that it was not easy for Cullen to wash hands and asked someone to bring a basin of water over.
Cullen waved his hand. "Don't worry about me. Just take care of Arya."
The deputy, who had been with Cullen for a long time, knew his habits very well and took good care of him.
The smile on Arya's face gradually disappeared. Xavier washed her hands. "What's wrong?"
Arya shook her head. "It's okay."
But seeing that Cullen was too old to move, Arya felt sad that she couldn't take care of him.
The waiter served the first course. Edward acted as a commentator and introduced the specialties. "Pao Tun (roast suckling pig), one of the eight delicacies in ancient times. First, we should clean the suckling pig both inside and outside, stuff red dates inside, wrap it with something made of leaves, and then cover it with wet clay. They just roast it until the clay dries to take out the suckling pig and wipes the pig skin..."
Arya couldn't listen any longer in case she had no appetite. "Edward, can we eat right now?"
Edward was stunned. "Didn't I explain it well?"
He had prepared this in advance to introduce the dishes to the guests...
"You want your specialty to become a popular dish?" Arya asked.
"Of course, it's a specialty..."
"You've already told me how to cook it, then I can learn to cook, but in that case it won't be a specialty, right ?" Arya asked.
He should want to run a restaurant by telling others how to cook his specialties?
Maybe it was better for him to work in the laboratory to make contributions to the medical field. It was not suitable for him to be a restaurant owner.
Edward didn't understand what he had done wrong.
In fact, it was the cook who made those specialties while he just learned it from books but didn't know how to cook at all.
Edward didn't keep asking and waited for Arya to finish her meal.
Edward was very straightforward and stubborn.
He had to figure out what he wanted to know.
"Xavier, come with me," Cullen said.
Xavier stood up and signaled to Nanny Joy to stay with Arya before leaving the pavilion with Cullen.
"You said that others could also cook this?" Edward pulled over the stool and sat next to Arya.
Arya explained patiently, "Have you heard of business secrets?"
Edward nodded. "I've heard of it. It seems that one will be punished by law if he or she divulges confidential information about the company."
"Your restaurant should first have its own characteristics. You do well in this aspect, and the dishes are also good. From the style of the plate to the taste, they are all very good, but your explanation is unnecessary. You have to keep the mystery of the restaurant and make people want to explore. The more mysterious your restaurant and dishes are, the more interested your guests will be. And they will come to eat for the next time to explore more, right?"
Edward didn't seem to understand.
He didn't think it would be so troublesome to open a restaurant.
