Chapter 345 Shangxi Garden

(Thanks to brothers then for their enthusiastic support)

Domestic food culture has formed many factions. Huaihai Province is sandwiched between Luyang and is also a place where water and land meet, forming a taste of ancient and hybrid, which is not particularly outstanding.

However, in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, a wealthy family in the province, was one of them because of their strong family background, luxurious life, and extremely particular about food.

In the late Qing Dynasty, the Sun family had a widely circulated deed in Donghua that "cooked three pounds of venison a day, and cooked from morning until the sun shadows down the west side of the door". During the Republic of China, the family background became even more prosperous. More than a dozen people in the mansion served food and food. After half a century of thinking, a set of quite complete private cuisines with precious ingredients was formed in Sun's house.

The hall in the Sun family's mansion that used to serve dozens of people in the family were called Shangxi Garden, which is also the origin of the name Shangxi Garden.

On the eve of liberation, the Sun family lived abroad in a panic, so naturally they would not have the intention to bring the kitchen with them, and let them disperse themselves.

Shangxi Garden wants to become a model of high-end catering in Donghua, and dishes are naturally the top priority. It is necessary to be high-end and different from the dishes of Huxi Academy and Nanyuan. It avoids unnecessary competition and is unique, which is naturally not a simple matter.

Finally, it was Sun Yalin who personally helped find the chef who stayed in Donghua by the Sun family. Peng Yuhai, who was already in his 80s, recommended his third-generation successor Peng Yuliang to come to Shangxiyuan to chef to restore the essence of Sun family dishes in his early years.

To entertain a banquet for the Provincial Party Committee Deputy Secretary Zhao Qiuhua, the Provincial Party Committee Secretary-General Su Weijun and his group, if they can receive praise, it is an important matter for Shangxiyuan to be able to make a comeback.

Although Shen Huai asked Chen Tong not to be nervous, he really wanted to do something here, and he was so nervous that he was sweating when his palms were squeezed.

Returning from Caijiaqiao Community, Shen Huai ran to the back to see the preparations for the dinner. When he saw Chen Dan standing in the kitchen and jokingly said, "I'm worried about being a big shot, just make it. Who dares to say that today's food is not delicious, I'll put the plate on his face."

Chen Dan glared at Shen Huai coquettishly and said, "There is no preparation here at all, and some ingredients need to be prepared two to three days in advance. Even if you borrow it from Nanyuan, you can't catch up. For real Sun's dishes, we can only make two tables, and the other six tables of dishes can only be replaced with ordinary dishes. Director Liu, Pan Shihua and Secretary Tan asked for instructions. Do you think there is any problem..."

"No problem," said Shen Huai, "the main leaders of the province and the representatives of Fuji iron can only sit at two tables, and the others are not so exquisite. I'll tell them."

Shen Huai is not very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation, but although Sun Yalin is not very picky, when it comes to the meticulous knowledge of food, clothing, housing and transportation, the profound heritage of a century-old family can make most people feel inferior when they stand in front of her.

The chef of Shangxiyuan was personally studied by Sun Yalin. Shen Huai didn't think there would be any problems, so he asked Chen Dan to bring the menu to him. When he looked at the dishes, he felt it was eye-catching and thought that a table of dishes would probably eat the annual salary of ordinary workers.

Anyway, Shen Huai couldn't help feeling sorry for anything, so he ran back to look for Tan Qiping with the menu.

As for the current situation, I can only do this. Seeing that Shangxi Garden is almost ready, I notified the banquet to be held.

Although Zhao Qiuhua is also a person who never gets tired of semen, he came out of Nanyuan at noon and walked down this big circle. The diet in Shangxiyuan is indeed above the standard, so he naturally praised it after a banquet.

Zhao Qiuhua and Su Weijun should be arranged to rest early and leave enough time for them to collude with local officials. The banquet ended before eight o'clock. Tan Qiping, Wu Haifeng, Gao Tianhe and others accompanied Zhao, Su and others and Japanese representatives back to Nanyuan Hotel.

Chen Huai had no intention of colluding with Zhao Qiuhua and Su Weijun. He stood in the parking lot on the west side of Shangxi Garden and said goodbye to them.

This time, the hospitality provincial leaders came to Donghua to attend the signing ceremony. Although the municipal party committee presided over the meeting, the hospitality funds, including the handling fees for the commemorative gold coins of the signing ceremony given to Zhao Qiuhua and other officials and entourages, were all from the joint venture preparation team.

Guo Chengfeng came to Zhou Ming with Shangxiyuan's bill; Zhou Ming looked at the numbers on the bill and was a little dazed for a moment.

Nobuo Yamazaki, who was standing by, saw Zhou Ming holding the bill without any action, thought he was waiting for him, so he signed the letter and handed it back. In the past, Nobuo Yamazaki came to Donghua as a guest, but from now on, as the Japanese general manager of the joint venture factory, he would lead the Japanese team to stay in Donghua and participate in the preparation, construction and future operations of the joint venture factory, so he would be considered half of the owner.

For foreign-funded enterprises that first entered the mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan are the most adaptable, while European and American companies are much worse. This is mainly due to Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan have no essential differences in culture from the mainland. Japanese-funded enterprises may not be worse than domestic companies in dealing with bureaucracy and human relationships.

The total investment of the joint venture factory is as high as 600 million yuan, and it takes 10 million yuan to clear all kinds of joints and entertain an important figure like Zhao Qiuhua. It is normal to spend 100,000 to Nobuo Yamazaki.

Zhou Ming sighed secretly that he could understand why He Yuelian was keen on high-end catering. Damn it, if you have too much money, you can really make you bite your hands.

Nobuo Yamazaki said goodbye to Chen Huai and said, "In the future, please take care of me in Meixi Town."

Chen Huai smiled and said, "Mr. Yamazaki, be polite."

Zhou Ming looked at Chen Huai with awkward face, feeling that it would be bad if he didn't say anything, but he was afraid that Chen Huai would show him his face. Fortunately, Shen Huai turned his head and talked to Zhou Zhibai, so he treated it as if he couldn't see it, turned his head and got into the car. However, Luo Li, the vice president of the joint venture factory and the city steel factory, came over to express his respects to Chen Huai for a few words before leaving.

Not everyone has to follow Nanyuan to join in the fun or serve carefully, so they say goodbye and leave directly.

People disperse one after another, and the busy day stopped.

Chen Huai said a few words to He Qingshe, Huang Xinliang, Liu Weiguo, Chu Yiliang and others, and asked them to go back first. He walked back to find Chen Dan.

"Don't you have to follow Governor Zhao?" Chen Dan asked in confusion when he saw Chen Huai walking in with no trouble.

"It's not a person on the same line, it's useless for me to come over," Chen Huai shook his head and smiled, "I'll give it to you two million yuan in cash. Does Zhao Qiuhua dare to collect my money?"

Chen Huai sat down on the sofa and saw Chen Tong and Zhu Liling, the lobby manager of Shangxiyuan, walk in and said, "It would be really good that Shangxiyuan's level in the future can be maintained like this today."

"Is it really OK?" Zhu Liling asked uncertainly, "I was worried all night, for fear of being negligent and scolding you to Secretary Chen."

"If you want to say something is unsatisfactory," Chen Huai gestured his hips and said, "It's not high enough here!"

Zhu Liling subconsciously bent down and covered her cheongsam with a slit. She didn't ask Chen Huai to see her white and tender thighs again when she had the chance to see her exposed white thighs. It was not revealed much, but when Chen Huai teased her, Zhu Liling's face turned red with shame.

"Nonsense," Chen Dan smiled and used something to smash the Huai, and said angrily, "There is a restaurant on the East Street, where there are high slits. He said he would also recruit a club. They are all beautiful girls - where you will mess around in the future."

Chen Huai said to Zhu Liling seriously: "Do you have any friends you can trust in Nanyuan?"

"There are one or two, what's wrong?" Zhu Liling asked.

"Tonight, some people will go to see Zhao Qiuhua and Su Weijun. Please help me care about the license plates of these people," Chen Huai said, "Just don't spread it, I just want to give it."

"What's wrong?" Chen Dan asked.

"The world is bustling, and it's all for profit," Chen Huai smiled. "Donghua used to be a ruined place, and no one looked down on it, so he was not afraid of others' concerns. Now there are major projects that have fallen in Donghua one after another. It's impossible to make others not jealous. Don't you think others are all fuel-efficient lights, right?"

Chen Dan didn't ask anything else. He knew that the world Chen Huai was in was much more complicated than ordinary people imagined, just like a movie. Chen Huai picked up his coat, stood up, and said to Chen Dan: "Old Xiong's little granddaughter full moon. I said I wanted to go over and see it. The favor has not been given yet. Can you accompany me to come here and go?"

"Well..." Chen Dan picked up his coat and walked out with Chen Huai.

"By the way, I want to run a high-end liquor store on East Street and get the agency rights of two wineries in Donghua. What do you think?" Chen Tong had a rare opportunity to talk to Chen Huai, and he would not let it go easily when he got the opportunity. Follow Chen Huai and his sister walked out, asking while walking.

"Yes," Chen Huai said, "It's no harm if you have any ideas to try it more. As long as you don't do anything illegal, it's good to say that it's a bit vulgar, don't expect me to wipe your butt."

Chen Tong touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly: "I'm not as stupid as I used to do things."

Chen Huai smiled and patted his shoulder, and walked out with Chen Dan.

When he got into the car, Chen Dan tied his seat belt, sighed lightly, and said, "It is said that a school can be run for 200,000 yuan, and this meal will be eaten up half of the school."

Chen Huai turned the steering wheel and said to Chen Dan: "If you want to be a capitalist, you are not as qualified as Chen Tong; but he didn't have the nerve to tell me that he would continue to contract the Cultural Station Building."

The Zhuxi Hotel will be collected in July. The former customers of Zhuxi Hotel would be diverted to Pengyue International Hotel, the Meiyuan Restaurant, Youth Hostel run by He Yuelian, and the Zhuyuan Hotel that is being built. Chen Dan will focus on Shangxi Garden, mainly for high-end catering.

Chen Tong wanted to do a high-end wine monopoly, so he was somewhat unwilling to give up the diversion of the Zhuxi Hotel's customers. The business experience of Zhuxi Hotel can also make him know that the profits of the wine are quite generous.

"People always have to be content. Besides, how can you regret it when you make an appointment with Peng Yue?" Chen Dan said.

When Pengyue was the first to lend him a loan to Zhujiang for 40 million yuan of construction funds. One of the conditions was that after Zhuxi Avenue was completed, the town government took back the contract rights of the Cultural Station Building to ensure that more customers were diverted to Pengyue International Hotel, changing the current situation of the Pengyue International Hotel's losses in the past two years since its completion.

Although Zhuxi Hotel is scheduled to be closed until the end of June, Zhuxi Avenue has brought considerable customers to Pengyue International Hotel for a week after its opening.

This is also because a Zhuxi hotel is far from meeting the economic development needs of Meixi Town.

Some customers are not sensitive to price, but they are more concerned about enjoying the information. Zhuxi Avenue is opened, and Pengyue International Hotel, which is transformed with three-star standards, has naturally become their first choice for check-in and dining and banquets.

At present, it seems that even if the Zhuxi Hotel is not closed, it will not affect the recovery of profitability of Pengyue International Hotel. However, if Chen Huai wants to take back the Cultural Station Building and transfer it to Meixi Middle School for use, the plan will not be changed.
