C285 Cedar (1/2)
Jiang Xiaobai was shocked, he immediately knew that this was one of the additional services.
It can't be, the ancients were already this advanced, and they even provided such service for a meal!
It was said that the Great Song were extravagant, but today, they finally experienced it. Presumably, someone would frequently do this sort of program in this restaurant.
One hundred and eighty-eight taels of silver was enough for twenty families to live on for a year.
If he were to give it to the soldiers and buy those moldy grains, it would be enough for the people of a village like the C Battalion to eat for more than half a year!
”That's not what I meant!” Jiang Xiaobai immediately stood up, walked to the window ledge at the north side and looked north.
From the high vantage point, he could see everything within the Baozhou City. Most of them were green brick houses, with people entering and exiting. It was a bustling and peaceful scene.
Outside the city, there were tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. Most of the crops were about to mature, and the farmers were working in the fields. A few small villages were scattered all over the place.
Jiang Xiaobai even saw the Western Mountain and was able to differentiate between the West Horse Pool. Under the bright and clear sky, his line of sight was at least fifteen kilometers.
In the era of cold weapons, such a building was able to see the movements of the enemy forces dozens of miles away. It allowed the civilians and soldiers of the city an advance warning time of at least half an hour, which was of great military value.
”Your Lordship, do you despise the two of us for being ugly?” Jiang Xiaobai only cared about watching Huaigu, but the two girls behind him were already trembling in fear.
He was just going upstairs to visit Lou Huaigu, so why make things difficult for him?
Jiang Xiaobai laughed: ”The two of you are as beautiful as fairies, I am just hungry, and would like to eat something new. Tell the kitchen to serve the dishes.”
The two girls felt a sense of relief. One of them immediately walked to the corner of the wall and said to a bamboo tube, ”The Tian Xiang Pavilion's official is hungry. Let the dishes be served!”
This can't be, this is the original voice transmission?
Jiang Xiaobai knew that for a structure like North Tower that was mainly made of wood, setting up a kitchen inside was unimaginable.
However, the most esteemed guests were at the highest point, and they travelled back and forth for fifty to sixty meters. It would be extremely troublesome if every order from the guest was specially sent back and forth.
With this ingenious structure, every word from the guest could be immediately passed down to the bottom. The ancients were really smart.
The girl asked, ”Sir, what do you want to drink? We have grape wine from the Western Regions, Eight Immortals Drunk in Bian Jing, three meters high platform in the Southern Kingdom, red sorghum from the Northern Kingdom, and Great Braised Wine from the Pirates! ”
”So many famous names, then... ”Let's brew the grapes!”
”A pot of grapes from the Western Regions!”
As he spoke, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside.
Soon, the door opened and two waiters came in. They carried a huge box of food and began to place all sorts of fruits on the table.
Apple, Sydney, Watermelon, Cucumis, Hippophae, Zizyphus jujube, Chestnut, Walnut... There were eighteen types of dried meat.
A girl used a toothpick to pick up a pear and brought it to Jiang Xiaobai's mouth.
”I'm not eating anymore!” Jiang Xiaobai could not stand this service.
The woman waved her hand and the waiter respectfully said, ”Retreat!”
”Hualala!” All the plates were back in the box, and they carried them downstairs.
As soon as the fruits left, another two waiters carried their food boxes up. This time, they were impressively, all sorts of small snacks, made from rice, noodles, and jujube paste. Each and every one of them were crystal clear, making people salivate.
