In the next few days, the first and second floors of the buffet restaurant were almost full every day. Those who could go to the second floor were people with some status. This was because the second floor had a lot of medicinal herbs, and these herbs were very beneficial to Cultivators.
However, nobody went up to the third floor, this was because the prices there were too high. On the other hand, the business on the first floor was still very good. Now, some cultivators had come to the first floor to buy wine. This was normal, the wines on the first floor were from the market. Moreover, they weren't as expensive as the other taverns. If two friends came to the first floor and bought a bottle of wine, they would be able to eat a few delicious dishes. Although they didn't need much Jade Essence, they would still be able to eat happily. It was much better than going to the taverns.
However, the buffet restaurant's capacity was limited. Because of this, there were still a lot of Cultivators who couldn't come here to eat. This was especially true for the first floor. If they wanted to eat on the first floor, then they would have to wait for a long time.
From an outsider's point of view, the buffet restaurant's business was booming, but it was already good enough that they could break even. This was because their dishes were too cheap. Even if everyone ate their food, they wouldn't be able to make much money.
However, only Li Cheng and the others knew how much money the buffet restaurant made. In the beginning, Li Cheng and the others thought that they wouldn't be able to make a lot of money. But when the restaurant opened, they realized that the restaurant was making a lot of money.
Let's not talk about the second floor, just the first floor, each person gets one Jade Essence. This was too little in the eyes of Cultivators. But don't forget that a Cultivator can only eat a limited amount of Jade Essence. One person gets one Jade Essence, five people get five Jade Essences. The food that people eat was about the same value. If there were more people, then it would be more cost-effective. In fact, this was a matter of quantity.
A lot of people knew that if you really went to the buffet restaurant, then you wouldn't be able to eat much. Moreover, in the buffet restaurant, the cost of the drinks was extra. Although the drinks weren't as expensive as outside, they weren't cheap either. Because of this, they still made a lot of money. This was because they made their own wine.
The Four Righteous Gang was a wine maker. Aside from making good wine like the Four Righteous Wine, they could also make a lot of ordinary wine. The wine used in their shop was directly provided by the Four Righteous Gang, so the cost was very low.
The ingredients used for cooking were also provided by the Four Righteous Gang. And the one who provided them was Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai provided these things through the Space. Since the Space was already overproducing, Zhao Hai could only place these things inside the Space and watch them increase in number. Because of his level, gold coins were already useless to him. Moreover, the Space was already operating on its own. In addition to planting herbs, Zhao Hai also had a lot of land to plant vegetables. At the same time, there was also a lot of meat in the Space. Zhao Hai could only throw these things inside the Space and let them increase in number. In any case, Zhao Hai didn't even bother to count how many things there were inside the Space. This was because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to count them all.
Since the buffet restaurant needed these things, Zhao Hai was naturally happy to take them out. Although these things weren't good inside the Space, they were definitely good outside. The reason why Cultivators were willing to come to the buffet restaurant to eat was because they discovered that the food inside the buffet restaurant could increase their spiritual qi. This made them very surprised.
The buffet restaurant has been open for ten days now, but their business was still booming. Especially the first floor, not only was it full, there were also a lot of people waiting on the side. There were already dozens of people waiting on the side. This made the other restaurants both envious and despised them.
The people in the other restaurants couldn't help but be envious. If their restaurants could also have so many people waiting for their meals, then they would really make a lot of money. This was also what they despised, because the people waiting for their meals in the buffet restaurants were almost all people who couldn't afford the food in their restaurants. Therefore, in the eyes of the restaurant owners, the buffet restaurants were just making a loss.
After the buffet restaurant became popular, the restaurant owners sent people to eat in the buffet restaurant. After they calculated the cost, they found that if the buffet restaurant did not rely on selling drinks and the second floor, it would not be able to make money at all. Even if they relied on selling drinks and the second floor to get back some of their capital, they would not be able to make much money. Of course, if people really went up to eat on the third floor, then they might be able to make some money. Otherwise, if they only relied on the first and second floors, after deducting the expenses and labor, the restaurant would only be a break-even business.
The other restaurant owners also thought that they understood the sales method of the buffet restaurant. The buffet restaurant wanted to rely on the low prices on the first and second floors to attract some cultivators to eat here, and then open up business on the third floor. The third floor was where they made the most money.
However, the other restaurant owners would never understand that it wasn't that the first floor didn't make money. On the contrary, because the first floor was so popular, they made a lot of money. It was just that others didn't know about it.
Ten days after the buffet restaurant opened, the first group of people who went to the third floor finally arrived. Even the people who went up to eat didn't expect that their actions would attract the attention of countless cultivators in Ba Xiang Kou. This was because they were the first group of people to eat on the third floor since the buffet restaurant opened.
Qian Fu didn't expect that the matter of him leading his friends to the third floor would cause such a big sensation. He was a cultivator of Ba Huan City, but he was only an outer disciple of Ba Huan City. He had just joined Ba Huan City a few years ago, but Ba Huan City had always been very rich, so his life was very good.
This time, when he was a rogue cultivator, he met a few friends who came to Moon City to play and also wanted to see him. Naturally, Qian Fu couldn't lose face, so he directly led them to the buffet restaurant. This person wanted to show off to his friends, "Look, our Ba Huan City has such a special restaurant. A meal costs at least 100 jade essences per person, and you have to pay first."
It was precisely because of this idea, and because Qian Fu did have money in his hands, that he led his friends to the third floor of the buffet restaurant.
As soon as they arrived at the buffet restaurant's third floor, they were stunned. The buffet restaurant's third floor was different from the first and second floors. Although the buffet restaurant's third floor was larger, there were very few seats inside. Moreover, all the seats were separated by compartments. In the middle of the hall, there were still some pots, but these pots were not all iron pots. Some of them were actually clay pots.
Moreover, there were more dishes here. Of course, every dish here was a medicinal dish. There were no ordinary dishes at all. Moreover, the ceiling of the third floor was made of transparent glass tiles. One could see the sky from the third floor. This made people feel very good. Qian Fu immediately felt that his money was not spent in vain.
At this time, a waitress came over and bowed to the group, "Hello, please come with me." Then she led the group to a small partition. Then the waitress looked at the group and said, "What would you like to eat? All the dishes outside are on the menu. You can order, I'll be responsible for delivering the dishes you ordered. In addition, below the wine list are the wines provided by the restaurant. You can choose whatever you like. Naturally, some of the wines are limited, please forgive us."
Qian Fu nodded, then he picked up the menu on the table and looked at it. When he saw the names of the dishes on the menu, Qian Fu couldn't help but stare. This was because there were many dishes on the menu that he hadn't heard of before.
Fortunately, behind the dishes were the ingredients of the dishes. There were even pictures of the dishes. The dishes in the pictures looked very delicious. Qian Fu couldn't make up his mind for a while.
At this time, the waiter looked at Qian Fu and the others and said, "Everyone, please feel free to order. Every dish will be divided into large, medium, and small plates. If you can't make up your mind, or if you don't know which dish tastes better, you can order some of each. Then I'll use the small plates to serve the dishes. This way, you'll know which dish suits your taste. When the time comes, you can choose your dish."
Qian Fu also felt that this was reasonable, so he put down the menu and said, "Then we'll have a small plate of each dish. Let's have a taste first. Right, there are some wines here that are limited in quantity. What's going on?"
The waitress replied, "Replying to Mister, because these are new wines that haven't been released yet, their production is very limited. Our restaurant had to go through various channels to get these wines. Therefore, these wines are limited in quantity. I hope you can forgive us."
Since the waitress said this, Qian Fu didn't say anything else. He nodded and opened the menu. Looking at the menu, he saw that there were only four wines on the menu. These four wines were called the Four Righteous Wines. However, each wine had its own name. There was even a detailed description of the wine's taste.
Qian Fu took a look and said, "I haven't tasted any of these four wines before. I think we should start with these four wines. I want to try them and see if they're really as good as they're written on the menu."
The waitress immediately said, "Please wait for a moment. I'll go and prepare some dishes for you." Then she turned around and left.
As soon as she left, a cultivator who came to eat with Qian Fu smiled and said, "Wow, Old Qian, this restaurant is really special, especially the first and second floors. Not only is it full, but there are also people waiting in line. This restaurant is too awesome, right?"
Qian Fu smiled and said, "That's because you don't know how cheap the food on the first and second floors are. Let me tell you, 100 Jade Essences is enough for you to eat here for a month. Moreover, you can drink two meals in the middle. Each meal has at least 56 dishes. You can eat until you can't eat anymore. How about it? Amazing, right?"
When Qian Fu said this, the Cultivators couldn't help but stare. Not to mention encountering a restaurant like this, they had never even heard of it. Therefore, when Qian Fu said this, everyone felt that it was very strange.
At this time, the waitress came in again. This time, she was holding a teapot. She placed the teapot on the table and then said to Qian Fu and the others, "Please have some tea first. The dishes will be delivered soon. The tea set is in the cabinet next to you. Please feel free to use it." Then she turned around and left.
Qian Fu and the others naturally wouldn't be polite. They took out their teacups and drank the tea. After drinking the tea, they discovered that the tea was very good. The taste was very good. Moreover, it also had the effect of calming the mind.
While they were drinking tea, the waitress came in with a group of waitresses. Each of the waitresses had a tray in their hands. On the tray were small plates filled with dishes.
The waiter ordered the dishes to be placed on the table, as well as four bottles of wine. He said, "Please enjoy your meal." Then, he left.
Qian Fu looked at the small plates on the table, then he picked up the four bottles of wine. These four bottles weren't very big, each bottle was only about one jin. Qian Fu picked up the Death Knight Wine and poured everyone a cup. Then he raised his glass and said, "Brothers, we haven't gathered together for a while. Today, we must drink to our hearts' content. Come, let's drink to our hearts' content."
The others also raised their glasses. After clinking their glasses, they downed the wine in their glasses. After downing the wine, they all held their glasses and didn't move for a long time, including Qian Fu. It was as if someone had cast a spell on them. They stood there motionless. After a while, they all let out a long breath and shouted, "Good wine!"
Qian Fu put down his cup and said, "Just this cup of wine is worth a few hundred Jade Essences. No wonder they want to limit the quantity. If this wine is freely available, then no matter how much there is, it wouldn't be enough." The others also nodded, they were also conquered by the wine.
Then they tried several other wines, each with a different taste, making them somewhat unable to stop. However, they didn't forget to eat the dishes, but after eating the dishes, they couldn't decide. This was because they discovered that the fifty-six dishes were actually very delicious. Although some of them might not be suitable for a certain person's taste, but among the others, there were a few who liked those dishes. This made it difficult for Qian Fu to make a choice for a while.
In the end, Qian Fu had no choice but to open his mouth and said, "Waitress." Just as his voice fell, the waitress came in and bowed to Qian Fu and said, "May I ask Mister's orders?"
Qian Fu thought for a moment and then said, "Give us a small plate of dishes. Also, we want every dish. Right, we've already drunk the four limited wines. Let's go to another bar. To be honest, after drinking the first four wines, we won't be able to taste the other wines." The others nodded. The waiter nodded and then turned around to leave.
Before long, the waitress came in and removed the empty plates. Then she served the dishes once again. After that, she brought the wine. Qian Fu and the others drank to their heart's content.
