After three and a half busy months, Wang Jiefang's restaurant, Food as Immortals, finally opened its doors!
As soon as it opened, the reputation of Food as Immortals spread throughout the capital! What intrigued the people of the capital the most was that all the waitstaff were young and beautiful girls. Dressed in traditional skirts and styled with intricate hairstyles, every guest entering the restaurant could expect exceptional service from these attendants. Each server had undergone specialized training and knew exactly how to cater to the guests' needs.
This service was purely about providing an experience, not the chaotic type of service one might find elsewhere.
Then there were the dishes at Food as Immortals. For those unfamiliar with fine dining, the prices might seem exorbitant, leading them to wonder if this was a scam. Who would pay such prices to dine here? In reality, these concerns were unfounded. Wang Jiefang had specifically targeted wealthy clientele when preparing to open this restaurant. He understood that in Longguo, there was never a shortage of affluent individuals who were quite particular about their food. As long as the dishes met their standards, they were more than willing to spend generously!
With Wang Jiefang's background as a state banquet chef and his team composed of his fellow chefs—each one a top-tier culinary expert with experience in preparing state banquets—there was no doubt that wealthy patrons would be eager to sample what Food as Immortals had to offer.
Among the offerings that particularly delighted the wealthy patrons' wives were the vegetarian dishes. These weren't your typical home-cooked vegetables; they were meticulously crafted by Wang Jiefang using rice, flour, and vegetables, transformed through special techniques into dishes that rivaled meat in flavor! For instance, one of their signature dishes, braised pork, was actually made from winter melon disguised with flour. If no one revealed the secret, even ordinary diners would never guess!
Who says affluent ladies don't enjoy gourmet food? They simply avoided greasy options to maintain their figures. Now, thanks to Food as Immortals' innovative vegetarian dishes, they could indulge without worrying about their waistlines!
Moreover, Food as Immortals offered specialized weight-loss meal plans for those dissatisfied with their figures. This immediately captured the hearts of many wealthy women!
As for the affluent gentlemen, while they also enjoyed vegetarian options, what truly captivated them were the medicinal meals provided by Food as Immortals! These meals didn't cure illnesses but instead helped strengthen one's constitution. This benefit combined with delicious flavors was enough to draw in wealthy patrons like moths to a flame!
Furthermore, high-profile wealthy individuals knew that even government leaders indulged in these medicinal meals and vegetarian dishes—though they had dedicated chefs preparing them!
It must be said that these wealthy individuals had impressive networks; indeed, upper-level officials were partaking in medicinal meals and vegetarian options! All this knowledge was passed down by Wang Jiefang to his chefs.
These chefs were all connected through various familial ties—uncles or elder brothers—and sought out Wang Jiefang for lessons on healthy cooking for their leaders. Wang Jiefang had no intention of withholding knowledge; however, he subtly hypnotized them during training sessions. While they could prepare these dishes themselves without issue, if they attempted to share the recipes outside of their circle, they would find it impossible to articulate how to recreate them!
Fame can be a double-edged sword; while Wang Jiefang's Food as Immortals thrived and filled his coffers, there were certainly others who wished to capitalize on his success! Yet any potential rivals quickly abandoned such thoughts upon discovering who frequented his establishment on opening day.
Several generals attended—some even high-ranking ones! Additionally, city officials and leaders from the public security bureau were also present in full force!
Given this lineup, who among those running restaurants would dare provoke such influential figures? Those with connections would be even less inclined to offend these leaders without cause. After all, they held power; why risk losing money over unnecessary conflicts?
