Customers are not allowed to order; you eat whatever the chef prepares.
And customers can’t just go in casually; they need to be brought by regulars to get in.
Additionally, every dish comes with a unique story, and you need to hear the story before eating. For each dish, the cutlery is changed, and even the napkins are swapped.
As for the founders, most have studied abroad for their master’s and Ph.D., with similar startup experiences.
For example, feeling lost when first studying abroad, accidentally encountering international cuisine, suddenly it’s like their governor and conception vessels were opened, gaining culinary skills, and aspiring to promote and develop new concept Chinese cuisine.
They emphasize exquisite plating, serving a portion on a two-foot wide plate is basic operation.
These dishes score high in Michelin ratings, and their stories are quite intriguing to foreigners, but for pragmatic Chinese people, taste is the most important.
You spend money to eat, and from start to finish it’s all about storytelling, it’s almost like trying to compete with De Yun Society.
However, these types of restaurants have their benefits, they’re like Zhang Mazi when he first arrived at Goose City.
They only cut chives from the rich, not making money off the poor.
Chen Yan said:
"The positioning of Tastes of Life is home-style dishes, providing housewives an opportunity to make delicious food at home, but they found a chef completely at odds with home-style dishes, the ratings are bound to plummet."
Without familiar faces, even if similar dishes are made, ratings will fluctuate.
If you even change the style of dishes, then who will learn?
After the meal, most of the dishes were eaten.
The fish was eaten clean, not only the head and tail were finished, but even the leftover fish soup at the bottom of the plate was used up by Shen Guofu with buns.
There’s half of the Glass Noodles Meatballs left, it can continue to be steamed tomorrow morning, no worries about the taste changing, the longer it’s steamed, the more aromatic the meat flavor becomes.
There’s also quite a bit of sweet potato balls and fried stuffed eggplant left.
Fried stuffed eggplant can be stewed again tomorrow or refried.
As for the sweet potato balls, it’s naturally Shen Jiayue’s anticipation to steam them with sugar.
After the meal, Lin Xu brought in a big cardboard box by the elevator; it’s a newly bought small billiard table, about one meter long and seventy to eighty centimeters wide, compared to a standard billiard table, it’s considered pocket-sized.
Adults might find it a bit uncomfortable to play, but for Dundun, the size is just right.
During assembly, the little guy was nearby, occasionally pawing at the screws and rolling the wheels on the legs to Lin Xu, eager to help out.
Once Lin Xu finished assembling, it eagerly hopped on and rolled around.
Shen Jiayue placed the black 8 on it, and Dundun pawed it into the pocket, then stood up to declare itself the winner of the game.
"You’re mommy’s good baby, how about we brush your teeth later?"
As soon as it heard about brushing teeth, Dundun jumped off the pool table and hurried off to its room, even making sure to close the door after going in.
A couple of days ago, Shen Jiayue watched a video on pet dental care, realizing cats, like humans, also need regular oral hygiene, or they might have a high chance of developing gingivitis, periodontal disease, chronic stomatitis, etc.
These conditions can lead to cats losing appetite and, in severe cases, could even threaten their lives.
Due to this, she bought pet toothbrushes and pet toothpaste online, initially thinking Dundun would understand the logic, but no matter how she explained, the little guy was still very resistant to brushing its teeth.
It even secretly took its toothbrush and threw it into the trash can.
What surprised it was that a new toothbrush appeared that night—Shen Jiayue never bought just one or two of these consumables but started with ten.
Dundun’s little scheme lost to mommy’s generous spending.
"Why is it so resistant to brushing teeth?"
Shen Jiayue was puzzled; she clearly explained the logic to it, but the little guy just wouldn’t listen.
Han Shuzhen said:
"Weren’t you the same when you were little, crying and fussing when told to brush your teeth, and if pushed, you’d even intentionally swallow the toothpaste foam."
Shen Jiayue: ??????
Did I do that when I was little?
Grandma said I was always obedient, sensible, and polite, you must be falsely accusing me.
Even hypothetically, if I didn’t brush my teeth as a child, Dundun still has to brush.
I’m the mom, I decide!
Lin Xu said:
"Things like this, step by step, maybe someday Dundun will ask to brush its teeth on its own."
Around eight, Chen Yan, Zeng Xiaoqi, Chen Yuanyuan, and Geng Lele left together, while Shen Guofu and Han Shuzhen originally planned to return but ended up staying because they were thinking about the sweet potato balls to be steamed in the morning.
In the morning, Lin Xu got up and went downstairs, finding that his mother and his in-laws were already awake, currently chatting while cooking in the kitchen.
Of course, Chen Meijuan was cooking, while Shen Guofu and Han Shuzhen mainly helped by wiping tables with rags.
The elders were chatting about the construction of the resort, the progress of the Horse Farm project, and other things Chen Meiliang has been busy with lately.
For Shen Guofu, as long as everything continues to advance steadily, he’s not in a rush.
Moreover, even if the Horse Farm construction is completed, it still needs decorating and environmental adjustments, requiring assessments by a professional evaluation team.
Only then will it qualify to introduce and breed high-quality horses for training.
Seeing Lin Xu descending the stairs, Han Shuzhen said helplessly:
"Is Yueyue still sleeping in? I’ll call her to get up; the elders have been up for half a day while she’s still lazing in bed, truly not sensible at all."
