Chapter 247 The Store Is Not Big, but There Are a Lot of Rules

Chapter 247 The store is not big, but there are a lot of rules

"no name?"

"This……"

Wang Peng looked at Xue Zhebin and found that Xue Zhebin was just like the waiter, smiling but not saying a word.

Wang Peng had a feeling of being despised, as if he was a bumpkin who had never seen the world.

"No, how do you register a store without a name? Or is it a strategy not to tell customers the name of the store on purpose?"

Wang Peng felt frustrated today.

As the co-founder of Quanmin Dianping, he has been to many restaurants and has seen many restaurants with different characteristics.

But such bizarre things as today are really rare.

Generally speaking, even some very low-key private chefs will most likely have names, such as directly taking the house number as the name of the restaurant, such as Kitchen No. 45, Restaurant No. 78, etc.

After all, no matter how low-key you are, you have to have a name, otherwise everyone will not know how to describe this restaurant when they want to come to eat, which would be too much delay.

Moreover, without a name, it is not conducive to word-of-mouth among diners and enhances popularity.

Unless the owner of the store doesn't care about popularity at all, or is extremely confident in his own restaurant, it's impossible to play like this.

Seeing Wang Peng's confused eyes, Xue Zhebin felt very comfortable, and an inexplicable sense of superiority emerged spontaneously.

"Don't think about it, eat it quickly, the food will be cold in a while." Xue Zhebin urged.

Wang Peng nodded, put these things aside for the time being, and took out his mobile phone to take a picture.

The waiter was about to speak to remind, but Xue Zhebin spoke first.

He pointed to the number plate next to the dining table: "You can't take pictures."

Wang Peng: "?"

This store is not very big, but there are a lot of rules!

Wang Peng has also heard that some restaurants do not allow photography, but those are very rare, and mainly in foreign countries.

In China, if a restaurant does not allow customers to take pictures, it must be very inhumane. It is almost a ritual for domestic customers to take pictures before eating. If they are not allowed to take pictures, how can they send them out to pretend?

What's the difference between spending so much money on a meal and not being able to pretend to be forceful?

Of course, rules like "don't take pictures" are definitely not mandatory. If you have to take out your mobile phone to take pictures, it is impossible for the waiter to smash your mobile phone.

They will only come over to remind you very politely, if you have to shoot, there is no way.

But the waiter came over and reminded "please don't take pictures", which has greatly affected the dining experience of customers, and most restaurants will not do such stupid things.

What's more, customers can take a few beautiful photos of the food and share them, which can attract more customers, which is equivalent to advertising the restaurant for free, so why not do it?

So, from any point of view, it is very bizarre that restaurants do not allow photos.

Wang Peng was puzzled: "What does this mean? These dishes are so well presented, isn't it blinding not to take pictures?"

He looked at the dishes in front of him, all of them were full of color, flavor, and taste. He couldn't take pictures and tell others that he had eaten these dishes, and he felt blood loss.

The smile on Xue Zhebin's face became more and more intense. Wang Peng's confusion made him feel an inexplicable sense of superiority, so he explained it for the waiter.

"That's the magic of this store."

"The owner of this shop believes that taking pictures will distract from enjoying the food."

"If all you're thinking about is finding a good angle, good light, you can't focus on the aroma, taste and finely crafted details of the food itself."

"Put down your phone so you can better focus on enjoying the state of being connected with friends, enjoying a meal and a time of total relaxation."

"So, let's do as the locals do today. I know you're busy with work, but you won't be able to delay anything during a meal. Put away your phone."

Wang Peng still felt a pity, but Xue Zhebin had already spoken, and it would be very unpleasant to forcibly take pictures with his mobile phone, so he put the mobile phone away and started to enjoy the food.

Tomahawk steak, matsutake mushrooms, caviar... are not cheap things, and this meal will cost more than 10,000 yuan.

And Xue Zhebin didn't order the most expensive dishes here, because he wasn't sure if the ingredients that needed to be reserved were real or fake.

Wang Peng tasted them one by one and tasted them carefully.

"Sure enough, it's really not ordinary food."

As a senior executive of a review website, Wang Peng has also tasted a lot of food, after all, this is part of his job.

Whether a dish is delicious or not depends first on the ingredients, second on the chef's cooking skills, and finally on the dining environment, atmosphere and the mood of the diners.

Among them, good food is the most important prerequisite.

Wang Peng tasted a little and could feel that these ingredients are absolutely genuine!

Of course, it can't be called the top-quality ingredients, because many precious foreign ingredients are not for sale in the place of origin, and the production is limited.

But obviously, the ingredients used in this unnamed restaurant are already the best in the country.

Xue Zhebin observed Wang Peng's expression: "How does it taste?"

As a rich second-generation, Xue Zhebin has indeed eaten a lot of good things, and he has a good ability to distinguish the quality of some dishes, but after all, he is not a professional, and there is still a gap between Wang Peng and Wang Peng.

Wang Peng nodded with satisfaction: "It's very good. I even think it's better than what I've eaten before."

"Just like this caviar, 30% of the world's caviar production currently comes from our country, and 21 of the 26 Michelin-starred restaurants in Paris use our country's top caviar."

"Our country's farmed caviar is completely comparable to wild caviar."

"I have also eaten at some restaurants in the imperial capital and the magic capital. The ingredients used should be the same."

"But I don't know why, I always feel that the caviar here is more delicious."

"Could it be because of the psychological effects of tableware and the environment?"

Xue Zhebin thought of the changes in the layout of the private room, and said, "Speaking of which, this private room has obviously been re-arranged today. From the decoration to the dining table and tableware, everything is very different from the last time I came here."

He looked at the waiter next to him: "Why do you want to replace these things?"

The waiter smiled and replied, "Because our boss believes that the environment is also a key part of the dining experience."

"Just like the ancient literati drinking, different wines should be drunk in different glasses, and there are many complicated and tedious steps. This is not only a sense of ritual, but also because suitable tableware can better show the speciality of wine. , which can further highlight this special atmosphere.”

Wang Peng was speechless. After a moment of silence, he nodded: "Especially."

If he heard such a statement on other occasions, Wang Peng would definitely sneer and evaluate it in four words: bells and whistles.

Replacing different interior decorations, dining tables and tableware for different foods is nothing more than superficiality. If the dishes are not delicious, these are all false.

But what if the ingredients themselves and the chef's craftsmanship have reached a very high level?

The ingredients used here are all first-class, and the chefs hired are also top-notch. Compared with other high-end restaurants, there is no disadvantage, but there is no advantage.

At this time, what can leave a deep impression in the minds of customers may only be some details.

Such as special dining environment, thoughtful service, suitable tableware and so on.

Coupled with the fact that no photography is allowed here, everyone will focus all their attention on the food, which invisibly creates a psychological suggestion of "it's really delicious".

In this way, two identical dishes will leave a different impression on diners!

"How much is this meal?" Wang Peng asked again.

Xue Zhebin smiled and said, "Thirteen thousand."

Wang Peng said sincerely, "It's worth it."

...

...

Walking out of the door of Mingyun Private Kitchen, Wang Peng still felt a little unfinished.

Although he was "slaughtered" by Xue Zhebin today and spent more than 10,000 treats, he still felt it was too valuable.

If it wasn't for Xue Zhebin's introduction, Wang Peng would not have known that there was such a high-end restaurant in Jingzhou.

It's not just about delicious food.

The location here is hidden and low-key, the environment layout is very high-end, and the service is also very thoughtful.

This place is very suitable for business dinners.

Although the price is high, as long as the style goes up, it can make business partners happy and feel valued, then it is a good deal!

What's more, Wang Peng looked at the price of the dishes on the receipt and found that the price was completely within the acceptable range.

Because high-end ingredients are expensive, plus first-class chefs, venues, labor costs for changing table utensils, etc...

The price is actually quite good!

It's just that I didn't ask for the contact information of the restaurant owner, which made Wang Peng feel a little pity.

When checking out after the meal, a store manager surnamed Lin came over and asked the two of them very politely if they had any comments and if there was any room for improvement in the restaurant.

Wang Peng took the opportunity to ask for the owner's contact information, hoping that this restaurant could become a cooperative merchant of Quanmin Dianping.

However, the manager Lin declined.

Strictly speaking, it was not that Manager Lin declined, but that Manager Lin declined on behalf of the owner behind the restaurant. He just gave Wang Peng his phone number instead of the owner's number.

In addition, the store manager Lin also declined the cooperation proposal of Quanmin Dianping on behalf of the boss, and even did not want to reveal the name of the store.

Wang Peng was not too embarrassed to force it. After all, judging from the restaurant's location selection and previous publicity, the owner behind the scene was indeed a low-key person. He didn't give contact information, but it was in line with his style of conduct.

So Wang Peng just memorized the contact information of Manager Lin, so that when there is an important business dinner in the future, he can make an appointment in advance.

It's just a pity that I couldn't establish a cooperative relationship with this store on behalf of Quanmin Dianping.

But...if you don't establish a partnership, can't it be displayed on the review website?

Of course not.

Quanmin Dianping has the function of "add store", and users can add business information by themselves.

However, the name of the store is required, and the staff must help in this regard.

Wang Peng directly wrote down the location here, and then called the technician: "There is a high-end restaurant in this place, update it on the website, and I will write a review myself later."

"There is no name, just leave it blank."
