Ling Zhenfei laughed: "Why do you say that?"
"Facing such delicious food and you haven't eaten any of it, do you think you're a normal person?"
Ling Zhenfei laughed and said: "I know whether I'm normal or not, as long as you enjoyed your meal, it's fine. But I have to remind you, the Heart-Talk Fruit you've been thinking about is coming up soon."
Beth was startled: "Heart-Talk Fruit, you mean the Heart-Talk Fruit?"
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said: "That's right."
Ling Zhenfei snapped his fingers towards the sky and then saw a waiter bring out a Heart-Talk Fruit, with two cups on the tray.
Ling Zhenfei had designed a special cup for the Heart-Talk Fruit.
Once the Heart-Talk Fruit is pierced, it automatically flows into the two cups, which looks very evocative.
Beth looked at the magical Heart-Talk Fruit, her eyes filled with wonder.
"Since coming to this restaurant, I increasingly feel this place is not of this world, and the things here I've never tasted before."
Ling Zhenfei laughed and said: "After drinking this Heart-Talk Fruit, you might have another kind of feeling."
Beth picked up one cup, clinking it with the other, then took a small sip.
Then Beth's expression froze for about ten seconds, her face flashing various emotions.
"It's so delicious, I am sure this isn't something from the world down here, it surely must be from heaven; it's simply too magical."
Ling Zhenfei laughed and said: "Then you can think of this place as heaven."
Beth couldn't resist taking another sip, but didn't dare drink too much, just like a child when their mother buys them something tasty, wanting to eat yet worried it will be gone.
Beth could certainly imagine the preciousness of the Heart-Talk Fruit; previously when she asked at the front desk, she was told it wasn't for sale. If not for Ling Zhenfei, she wouldn't have been able to taste it.
"This place really is heaven, if the decor is a full score of one hundred, I'd give it ninety-nine points; the only downside being there are too many people eating at noon, a bit noisy, so one point is deducted.
The reason why only one point is deducted is because I understand the noise is due to the guests' admiration, just like me, so I deduct one point.
For the dishes, I really don't know how to score them; previously, the dishes I've rated as perfect are like not having learned to cook at all in front of these, so I've decided to give a score of one hundred and fifty out of one hundred.
As for the drinks, I really don't know how to score them either; for a full score of one hundred, I would give Heart-Talk Fruit two hundred, I reckon if my score goes up, it might explode online, but I couldn't care less.
So I say this place is too good, I really don't want to leave, what should I do?"
Beth spoke eloquently, making Ling Zhenfei marvel.
"Thank you so much for your praise, seeing you enjoy your meal so much puts me at ease."
Beth was very excited and said: "I can't take it anymore, I must post it immediately, forget about posting text, just post a video."
Ling Zhenfei said: "As you wish."
Ling Zhenfei left Beth's side and found Xue Fei, who was instructing others on cooking.
"What's up again Master? Is it that someone is not satisfied with the dishes I made?"
Ling Zhenfei laughed: "Look at you, scared, it's not that matter, the dishes are satisfying."
Hearing this, Xue Fei finally felt relieved: "You scared me, I thought unsatisfactory dishes would make you spank me."
Ling Zhenfei said: "I have another matter to discuss with you, Xi Shan Restaurant will soon open at least three stores in several cities nationwide, but there is a severe shortage of chefs, how are the chefs here doing?"
Xue Fei said: "The chefs here are doing well, already perfectly fit for the job, so I'm quite relaxed."
Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said: "I want to recruit a batch of experienced chefs online, and then let you and Bai Lin be their instructors and have them trained quickly."
"Sure, as long as they're experienced, the dishes at Xi Shan Restaurant are quite simple."
Ling Zhenfei laughed and said: "With industry leading salaries, possibly attracting some big shots from other restaurants."
"But the fear is having moles from other competitors mixed in, which wouldn't be good," Xue Fei said with some worry.
Ling Zhenfei said: "We rely on Xishan Manor's vegetables, so even if they learn the cooking method, it would be ordinary."
"Alright then, I will discuss with Bai Lin, then proceed with it immediately."
"Mm, I will be going abroad for a while, so I'll leave this matter to you."
After chatting for a while, Ling Zhenfei stepped outside, it was mid-noon and the outside was already packed with people, with a long queue at the entrance.
Every noon the scene is like this, the front desk continuously explaining there are no more seats now.
Reservations are made one week in advance, Ling Zhenfei's policy is as such; private rooms can be reserved but require advance booking, seating in the hall is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
At Xi Shan Restaurant, the shared seating rate is very high, it's practically impossible for someone to monopolize a large table.
Of course, there's talk of shared dining online, as Xi Shan Restaurant's prices are relatively high, an ordinary person finds it hard to shoulder, so the approach of sharing meals is adopted.
This means dining at Xi Shan Restaurant together with companions, splitting the cost of meals, and numerous online groups dedicated to shared dining emerged, which Ling Zhenfei did not expect.
It is precisely because of these shared dining groups that Xi Shan Restaurant became a mysterious and grand place.
Engagement and wedding occasions often take place at Xishan Manor, boosting the style of the wedding highly.
In such circumstances, Xi Shan Restaurant often offers juice of Ziling Fruit, for high spenders, they even receive juice of Heart-Talk Fruit.
It's precisely because of this, Xi Shan Restaurant exudes a human touch; some even say online that just one serving of Heart-Talk Fruit juice alone is worth a table full of cash gifts.
Big bosses placing business negotiations at Xi Shan Restaurant signify a prestigious venue, but Ling Zhenfei's Xi Shan Restaurant private rooms are not easily reserved.
Consumption in such a private room starts at fifty thousand; without paying a deposit, it's considered not reserved, which makes many feel that dining at Xi Shan Restaurant is a matter of pride.
Online, many food enthusiasts regard dining at Xi Shan Restaurant as a major event in life, with many seeing it as a very significant affair.
Ling Zhenfei has seen such news but has no way out, as his restaurant costs are very high, starting with the extravagant renovation expenses, breaking even is tough.
Moreover, all personnel receive top salaries, which is not something a regular restaurant can afford.
Ling Zhenfei is still very pleased, feeling his investment in the restaurant demonstrated great vision; a failure would have cost him dearly.
However, while Xi Shan Restaurant in Binyang succeeded, it doesn't ensure success in other locations.
