Chapter 466 Have fun
Two hundred and five!
This meal at Fangshan is priced at a ridiculous price per person, so everyone seems to be eating it up.
So much so that everyone gathered in the cafe of Zhai Palace to talk about their experiences and discuss the practicalities of site selection.
Everyone here was either looking at the teacups on the table in a daze, picking up the teacups to blow foam, or frowning and puffing away, but no one made a sound. They were all very reserved. very.
This scene is really interesting!
To be honest, after seeing all the novelties in Tingliguan and Fangshan, they all had a lot to say.
But the problem is that no matter who is afraid of destroying his own prestige and improving the ambition of others, he is not willing to speak easily and be the person who disturbs the morale of the army.
Naturally, they all pretended to be confused, and each of them meditated on this bowing fast.
However, such an important meeting obviously cannot remain silent forever.
Generally speaking, people should speak in order of age and position.
So the top leader of the Temple of Heaven Park had no choice but to take the lead in raising the topic.
However, his brilliance lies precisely in the fact that he is a "Tai Chi master".
Instead of being straightforward, I chose to talk about some light and lively topics as an opening statement.
So that while relaxing the atmosphere, you can also encourage others to talk directly about the topic.
"This visit to two palace restaurants is a big gain for everyone here, right? I think I am not the only one who has been curious about this question in the past, 'What does the emperor eat every day?'"< br>
“Thanks to this opportunity and the sincere invitation from Manager Ning of Pierre Carton Company, I really understood the taste of delicacies from mountains and seas, and also learned about eating. It turns out that sometimes it’s not just about eating. . ”
“Our capital city carries a rich history. It has been established for a long time and the capital has been established for a long time. Under this circumstance, the palace cuisine produced can indeed reflect the high-end nature of our capital city’s food. , richness and cultural connotation, don’t you think?”
Everyone is carrying the sedan chair, not to mention the embarrassment just now has to be relieved.
For a while, not only everyone agreed, but some also laughed.
He even took this opportunity to verbally thank Ning Weimin for his generosity.
But the people here are all human beings, and no one is a bastard in the scene.
So it became lively and quiet quickly, and it soon returned to silence.
Everyone looked at the head of the garden with the same gaze, waiting for him to say the following words.
The director was a little embarrassed that all his efforts were in vain, so he could only cough a few times to cover it up.
Then he slowly took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then said in an ambiguous tone, "But it's not easy to run a restaurant like this. I look at the house, furnishings, tableware, dishes, and personnel. We need to strive for excellence in everything. Aren’t our original considerations not detailed and in-depth enough? Hey, palace and royal cuisine are not just simple titles, but a full integration of food, etiquette, and history and culture..."
The director’s emotion is somewhat inspiring.
At this time, the deputy director obviously knew how to express his opinions and took the words very cooperatively.
"No, this is probably the first time for each of us to experience the luxury of these two meals. Tingliguan is about 180 per person. The imitation meal is 250 per person. This meal It's more than our salary alone. If it's a normal work banquet, it's enough for eight people to have a full banquet. Who can say that it's not a waste of money? But you are sitting in Tingli Restaurant and Fangshan. I feel that such a meal is worth so much money. Now that I think about it, in addition to the taste of delicacies such as bear paws, shark's fin, deer tail, and bird's nest, it is probably inseparable from the scenery, environment, and the decorations and tableware. People suddenly feel like they have become a royal guest. This is probably called eating history and eating culture. It is not easy to do this, it is really not easy..."
"That’s right. This kind of imperial meal has a cultural atmosphere and is interesting.” The deputy secretary of Tiantan Garden also said, “Not to mention us, we can sit in an antique restaurant, surrounded by water on three sides, and taste the imperial meal. Among the foreign affairs personnel and foreigners, who are not smiling? Many people are vying to take photos with the service staff in imitated Qing Dynasty clothes, and they also look at the photos and calligraphy of celebrities. It can be seen that the culture of the nation is the world. The fun is contagious. When I left, I heard someone say that the foreigners were able to sell our plane. This must be due to this banquet. No wonder the tourism bureau designated it as a foreign-related special restaurant. The more this happens, the more it shows that high-end dining in the palace is of great significance..."
No one from the Temple of Heaven Garden said anything clearly, but everyone was expressing their worries and wanted to lead the topic to more difficult topics.
When it was time for the service bureau to express its opinions, Qiao Wanlin's immediate boss became more practical.
But the director didn't fall for it either. His statement was that of advancing before retreating.
A beautiful pusher made the Temple of Heaven feel particularly embarrassed.
“If we look at catering operations alone, our service bureau is certain. After all, as far as the catering industry in Beijing is concerned, our district has relatively strong capital. Many time-honored brands in the past were all located in Daqianmen. Now Maxim Restaurant is located in Chongwenmen again. We have no shortage of Chinese and Western food.”
"Actually, cooking is easy to talk about, and you can make it if you have a pattern. Even if most people have never done bear paws, from my perspective, it is just a matter of roasting and grilling. There is no shortage of chefs in our area who have such skills. As long as they are pointed out, it should be close. But it is difficult to grasp the cultural things. It is difficult!”
“There are so many good things in those rooms, don’t say I haven’t seen them before. I can't even dream of it. I don't even know how to arrange those kinds of furniture, screens, and palace lanterns. That's all up to you. Our Temple of Heaven is the Five Altar. One of the eight temples, you must know the most about this emperor's style. As you just said, the most important thing is how to display the culture. "
Tiantan Garden can hear it. When he said this, everyone reacted.
Some people sighed, while others shook their heads and thought.
Obviously, although the director has made a point, this kind of thing is also the most difficult to grasp with certainty, and it is even harder to evaluate whether it is good or bad.
Like the deputy director who sighed with a slightly hoarse voice.
“Of course we have a certain understanding of the daily life of emperors, but precisely because of this, it becomes more difficult. Because that kind of luxury was not something that ordinary people could imitate in the past, let alone today. Think about it, take hardwood furniture as an example. Although it can be bought with money, it is difficult to meet the royal standard. How long have the two restaurants been in business? It will be difficult for us to catch up with the furnishings at once. "Yes."
"Yes, yes." The deputy secretary also echoed and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
“To be honest, although the Temple of Heaven also has some imperial cultural relics from the past, it is different from the gardens where the royal family lived like the Summer Palace and Beihai. It is mainly a place of worship, and there are some ritual vessels. It can really be said that there are items for enjoyment. It won't work. Even the Zhai Palace and Veranda Baosha can't compare with others, let alone Beishen Kitchen. We are definitely not trying to push back..." The two leaders of Tiantan have to express their difficulties.
Otherwise, if they don't mention this objective fact and something goes wrong afterwards, resulting in bad business, how can they be held responsible?
The atmosphere in the venue dimmed again, everyone fell silent again, and everyone fell into deep thought again.
Actually, I really can’t blame everyone for being hesitant.
Because if you have to make this determination, it’s too big a decision.
You don’t know if you haven’t seen it in the past, but now you have seen it. If you really follow those two palace-style restaurants, the investment will be huge.
It was far more ambitious than they had previously anticipated.
Not to mention anything else, how much does it cost just for the antiques and furniture placed in the room?
You also have to have calligraphy and painting by famous people. Just being famous and not ancient enough is not enough.
In short, such a request covers many aspects and is complicated.
Not to mention whether they have the financial resources, just say that they do, there is no turning back.
Is it possible to put in this much effort? No one can guarantee it!
Of course it was a little shaken.
It is Qiao Wanlin who wants to break the situation.
In fact, he was also troubled by the situation in front of him, and he was also depressed about it, but as someone who knew Ning Weimin better.
This kid had a weird look on his face. He wanted to laugh but had to hold back, but he couldn't escape his eyes.
As soon as he saw it, he knew that Ning Weimin had something in mind, otherwise he would not be in the mood to watch everyone have fun.
So he curled his lips in dissatisfaction and stood up.
Pick up the teapot on the table and refill the cups of the cadres present in turn, showing off their attentiveness.
At the same time, he also used the word "peng" to beat Ning Weimin.
" Leaders, please don't overthink it. In fact, whether we should continue with this matter or not, the key depends on the investor's face. In the current situation, the capital investment will definitely have to increase. If not If investors spend real money, we definitely don’t have the ability to do this, so why worry about it? Do you think this is true?”
As soon as he said this, everyone turned their attention to Ning Weimin.
Everyone here knows that they have a good personal relationship.
So since Qiao Wanlin said this, he would not deliberately stumble Ning Weimin.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
At this point, whether this project should continue or not actually depends on Ning Weimin alone.
Therefore, Qiao Wanlin's words made everyone feel relieved and relaxed a lot.
But Ning Weimin couldn't sit still anymore, and stood up quickly as if his butt was burning.
"No, no, don't say that, don't take it seriously. The three of us work together, and we are equal, friendly, and sincerely cooperating with each other. It's not about who looks at the other's face. You flatter me, in other respects With great support and contributions, our company will naturally have to invest more in funds. This is also what he said beautifully, and he did not mean to back down.
Not only did he succeed in winning everyone's favor, but he also began to calm down their troubled minds.
Everyone present nodded and said, "You're welcome! You're welcome!"
"Don't be humble. This project was also your idea. If we don't listen to you, who will we listen to? The key point Of course you have to take the big idea. Do you think this is true? "
Qiao Wanlin urged again.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh and nodded in agreement again.
At this time, everyone had already seen something interesting from their relaxed energy.
Then the mood relaxed, and some people even started smoking cigarettes.
But just like this, Qiao Wanlin hasn't finished the knot yet, so he will definitely disrupt the rhythm and put Ning Weimin on fire immediately.
"Hurry up, are you still good at it? Come out with your idea quickly. If you keep hiding it, I will suggest that you take back your Zhai Palace and set up a restaurant. ”
Just like that, it ended up in complete laughter.
Ning Weimin had no choice but to flash his notebook and lay out his preliminary ideas in front of everyone.
I was too embarrassed to hold the candy and stretched it hard.
