Chapter 419 provides ancient people with some basic knowledge: the correct way to enjoy a buffet.
"Sister Bai, I've discovered that this buffet is a godsend for curious foodies like me who want to try everything!"
Here, you can take a little bit of each dish to try; whoever came up with this dining style is absolutely brilliant!
Kong Nishang's eyes sparkled, and she seemed to have a great appetite for almost every dish.
So along the way, she was like a little hamster, constantly piling food onto her plate.
As a result, she and Su Yingying squeezed and squeezed, and finally managed to squeeze out only a small part.
But looking around, there are so many other mouthwatering dishes...
"Well, when you're eating at a buffet, the key is to eat more of the dishes that are hard to find on a regular day or that are great value for money!"
Look at you two, why are you still eating so much staple food? We should save our stomachs for seafood and meat, that way we won't waste any!
Bai Mengran looked at their plates; they hadn't left a single one of the adorable steamed buns and mantou, nor the fried rice and pasta...
Although the amount of food served is not much, eating all of it will definitely fill up your stomach.
She shook her head as she watched, and couldn't help but explain a few things to the two of them.
The two little girls nodded repeatedly, indicating that they had learned something.
"Well, the main reason is that these pastries are just too cute and adorable. They made me so tempted that I couldn't resist taking them."
Sister Bai, from now on we'll just follow your lead and take whatever you take. That way we'll definitely make sure there are no mistakes!
The quick-witted Su Yingying, like a student eager for knowledge and humble to learn, immediately got into position, ready to follow suit completely.
Anyway, Sister Bai knows so much about food, so you can't go wrong if you follow her choices.
Bai Mengran neither confirmed nor denied this, and continued her explanation to them:
"First, let's get some appetizers~"
Hmm, this abalone and sea cucumber soup looks delicious, the color is so appealing, I can have a small bowl to try it..."
Before Bai Mengran could finish speaking, the two little ones beside her were even faster, each grabbing a bowl in the blink of an eye...
Then, as they walked on, they carefully selected some more egg tarts, roast meat, and ham slices...
Before I knew it, I had walked into the prepared food section.
Bai Mengran chose, according to her own taste, grilled lamb chops and beef steaks that were freshly grilled on the hot plate and sizzling with oil, as well as grilled shrimp, grilled scallops, grilled squid, and grilled lamb skewers.
Although some of the dishes overlap with those in the barbecue area, barbecue is used here to adjust the flavor, so it is an essential delicacy.
"Wow, these meats look so delicious! They're sizzling on the hot plate, and they smell so good, it's almost intoxicating!"
Su Yingying adhered to the principle that Sister Bai's choice must be the best, and followed her example completely when picking up the food.
Right now, in the deli section, the aroma of teppanyaki grilling is wafting into her nose. As she picks it up, she can't help but swallow, feeling like her mouth is about to water.
These two silly kids were immediately captivated by the exquisite and beautiful pastries in the pastry section the moment they came in...
After a busy day, I managed to grab a lot of snacks and main dishes, but I didn't even get to visit the cooked food and seafood sections, which are the main focus of a buffet!
So now, under Bai Mengran's guidance, the two of them had almost filled their trays to the brim with food.
"Yingying, Yiyi, you two go find a food delivery machine and send these two plates you're carrying to the private room first, so you don't get tired of carrying them around..."
Seeing that the two were struggling to carry their trays, almost touching the counter as they slowly moved forward, Bai Mengran quickly told them what she had just learned from the waiter.
After saying that, she led the two of them directly to the [self-service teleportation machines] that were spaced out at regular intervals.
Although it was Bai Mengran's first time experiencing such advanced services, she quickly discovered that the operation was very simple and super easy to use.
Simply place the tray on the conveyor belt, and the screen will immediately recognize the customer's face and identify their dining room number.
If the customer hasn't been to a private room yet, they can simply choose a room name themselves.
When it was Bai Mengran's turn, the moment her face appeared on the screen, the sycophantic system instantly flashed special effects all over the screen.
They directly reserved a private VIP room for her, and without her having to do anything, her plate was instantly teleported away.
Following suit, Su Yingying and Kong Nishang also benefited and enjoyed top-notch treatment.
Their meals were also locked by the system and delivered to the same VIP room as Bai Mengran's, disappearing without a trace from the teleporter in the blink of an eye.
"The service here is absolutely amazing! They even deliver the food directly to us, so we don't have to carry it around at all!"
Although the process of choosing food was very enjoyable, my arms really started to ache after carrying the plates for a while...
Having witnessed this amazing feat firsthand, the two were so excited that they clapped their hands enthusiastically.
Afterwards, they carried their empty trays and easily resumed their food-hunting journey, feeling much more at ease.
"Come on, next up is the seafood section! Whether we can get our money's worth at this buffet depends on this! We'd better put a lot of effort into this area!"
I remember Yingying, you also love seafood, right? This is a great opportunity, so eat as much as you like!
The seafood here is the kind you don't usually get to eat, and it's not too filling. Let me see how it's prepared..."
Although as a boss, one would normally think about making it more cost-effective for customers to eat less or more cheap food, Bai Mengran didn't focus all her attention on making money.
In her view, the bathhouse's profits mainly come from the bathing service, which is practically a business with no investment and pure profit for her.
Now that profits are guaranteed, she doesn't want to inflate prices in the catering industry.
After all, judging by the current standards of this buffet, it's roughly equivalent to the level of a modern four-star hotel.
The reason why the price is set at 128 coins per person is that Bai Mengran sincerely wants more ancient people to have the opportunity to occasionally taste it, even if it's just to experience this kind of buffet dining style once!
She felt this would definitely become a beautiful memory for them, and also the meaning behind their hard work in earning money...
Moreover, given this price, it's definitely not worth it for diners with normal appetites. If one in ten people could eat their fill and still make their money back, that would be a good result.
From the business's perspective, this buffet is a business that absolutely cannot lose money!
