Chapter Seventy-Eight: Overnight
Liu Li, who was walking in front, was taken aback by the sudden fat man, I don't know why she said such polite words, they have been here before, and they have never seen the manager of the Sixi Hotel speak so politely.
But for the sake of face, I have to say hello to him, after all, he should be the first to speak.
"Hello, I am the general manager of Hejia Pharmaceutical Group, and I have booked a private room here for you today, and I invite reporters from the provincial TV station to dine here. ”
Hearing that the CEO of the pharmaceutical company and the people from the TV station were eating at their place, the lobby manager was instantly relieved, but he was still a little nervous.
"Hello, hello, welcome!"
After speaking, he arranged for the waiter to lead a group of them to the private room on the second floor, but he walked to the kitchen to arrange things.
When reporters come to eat with them, they must not be ordinary guests, not only the food must be exquisite, but also clean and hygienic, and they must not be found out by those who like to find problems.
If there is something more in their dishes, such as the cook's hair, the worms of the greens, etc., it will be completely ruined, and everything must be done perfectly.
That's what he went to the kitchen for.
Then he went to the cashier counter and looked at the menu, "Which one is the dish that those people ordered just now, and what kind of dishes are they?"
The cashier looked at the manager who was usually so calm, and today he was a little messy, and since he saw those people, he began to get busy, arranging this, arranging that.
This also attracted the attention of the cashier, when the manager came over just now, the list she was holding was the recipe ordered by Liu Li.
So the manager took the record on the table and flipped through it a few times and didn't find it.
"Manager, Ms. Liu just now booked our best table and the largest private room, and ordered the menu of 1888. With that, the cashier handed the menu to the lobby manager.
Although it was not too expensive in '04 in 1888, it was not something that ordinary people could order.
When you book a table for dinner, you usually book a table for a banquet.
Even if the rich family conditions are better, the maximum number of table reservations at this time is 488, the maximum is 688, and the number of reservations for 888 is very small, let alone 1888.
I don't see such a big table once a month, and I only meet a few times a year, and it is only when the big boss invites the big leader to dinner that the table is booked like this.
Therefore, it can be seen that they attach great importance to journalists in provincial cities.
When it's time to eat, give me the best wine we have here, and when it's time to eat, give me to send them over to show the sincerity of our hotel.
Therefore, Liu Li's specifications for booking tables today are still relatively large, to put it bluntly, entertaining reporter Meng Ya is still relatively costly.
For Liu Li, she calculates the benefits in the future, not the immediate benefits.
Under normal circumstances, reporters will not eat with the interviewee, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
This is the boss who betrayed his hue in exchange, so you must grasp it.
Hehe, I don't know what he would think if Chen Yang heard it.
A group of nine of them came to the largest private room on the second floor, the VIP room.
Chen Yang has not been to this private room yet, he still knows the rules, there is a minimum consumption here, and the starting price is 1888 yuan.
At the Four Joy Hotel, there are only two private rooms of this specification.
In the private room, there is not only a large automatic dining table, a large round table that can make more than a dozen people, but also a 49-inch large TV in front of it, which hangs on the wall.
There is also a small coffee table and table and chairs at the back for guests to rest.
"Boss Chen, can you have a hotel here? You look at the interior decoration, it's quite luxurious, I thought I was just looking for a random place to eat and taste your characteristics here, I knew that we would come to such a high-end place, and we didn't come." ”
After Meng Ya came to the private room, she looked at the surrounding environment, looked at Chen Yang and said.
The tone was a little angry.
"Reporter Meng Da, don't get me wrong, I ordered it here, we entertain VIPs like this, if you don't like it, or we are in a different place, can you see it?"
Liu Li didn't know what Meng Ya meant at first, but she booked here in the form of receiving high-level customers, but she didn't expect that she just wanted to have some snacks here.
"Forget it, it's just that I'm so embarrassed to let you break the bank! ”
She is right, as the old saying goes, eat people with short mouths and short hands, if others find themselves with something in the future, they are embarrassed to excuse themselves, after all, they have already eaten.
"Meng Da Beauty, don't worry, Xue'er and I will both go to school in the provincial capital in the future, if you have time, you can invite us to have a meal, come to us, just listen to our arrangement, don't think about anything else, just eat well and be happy." ”
Chen Yang saw Meng Ya's hesitation, so he said comfortingly, besides, Chen Yang really didn't want to use her to do anything for himself!
After Chen Yang said this, Meng Ya was also relieved, and her mood relaxed a lot.
"Sister Meng, can I call you that?"
Wang Ruoxue looked at Meng Ya and said.
"Of course you can, of course you don't look as old as me, of course it's right to call me sister. ”
"Yangyang and I are now on the National Day holiday, just a few days off, and it's time to go back to school in the provincial capital soon, but I'm very unfamiliar with the provincial city, can I go shopping with you when I'm free?"
"That's it, on the weekend, you must come to me to play, I will take you to visit the snack street in the provincial capital, the snacks there are particularly delicious, to tell you, I am a foodie. ”
The two of them whispered and chatted happily in private.
At this time, we also ordered the dishes, because it was a reserved table, they were all prepared in advance, so the speed of serving the dishes was also very fast, and soon the whole table was full of delicious food.
Seeing that the two of them were still communicating in private, they even forgot to eat, so they patted Wang Ruoxue's head, "It's time to eat, the dishes are all ready, you are saying this, Meng Da reporters are hungry." ”
Chen Yang said jokingly.
At this time, Liu Li and Tang Xiaowan also entertained several other people from the TV station, opened two bottles of liquor, and did not sell a single one, which made Tang Xiaowan very unhappy.
It is said that she, a big beauty, went to pour wine with a group of old men, and they should be very happy, and they were bored, but she found that none of those people dared to drink.
Tang Xiaowan's social experience is definitely not as rich as Liu Li's, she can't see it, of course Liu Li can see it, it's not that they can't drink, it's not that they don't want to drink, but they don't dare to drink.
During work, employees should be forbidden to drink alcohol, otherwise when they go back at night, they will smell of alcohol, and they will be in big trouble.
So no matter how Tang Xiaowan persuaded them to drink, they didn't dare to drink it, and for wine, of course, this hard-won job was the most important.
Just when Xiaowan was in a dilemma, the door of the private room was opened, and then the lobby manager of the hotel came over with a big belly.
After coming over, he went straight to Liu Li, because he only knew Liu Li here, so he was the first to go to Liu Li.
"Hello Mr. Liu, welcome to your arrival, this bottle of French red wine is specially prepared for you by our hotel. ”
As he spoke, he opened the bottle of red wine directly in front of everyone, then poured it into the wine decanter, and took out nine red wine glasses from behind.
A waitress next to them poured them one by one, although it was just a bottle of red wine, but drinking red wine was the same as drinking white wine, mainly relying on tasting, all poured a little.
Besides, this wine is not a very bad wine at first glance, and he can send a bottle of wine, but he can't afford to send it if there are more!
"Then thank you, Manager Zhang. ”
Just when Liu Li didn't know what to call it, she happened to see the word Zhang Bo written on the lobby manager's badge, which was considered to resolve the embarrassment.
"No thanks, the customer is God! Welcome Mr. Liu to come often in the future. ”
After speaking, he handed Liu Li a membership card and said: "This card can be discounted by 20%, and in the future, when your company comes to dinner, you can show this VIP card, and we can give you priority service." ”
I hadn't heard of any VIP cards here before, but now a membership card suddenly popped up.
Liu Li took the membership card, looked at it, as if she thought of something, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Okay, your VIP weight is very heavy, I'll take it well, thank you again. ”
Seeing off Manager Zhang, Liu Li looked at the group of old men who wanted to drink but didn't dare to drink and said: "Even if you have liquor, they still have to work in the afternoon, and if you drink too much, the smell of wine is too strong, and it is not easy to deal with you when you go back." ”
"Then we drank this glass of red wine, the red wine is low, there is no alcohol smell, after all, you drove from the provincial capital early in the morning, and you have been busy all morning, how to say that you have to drink some wine to relieve fatigue, then drink some red, right?"
After Liu Li finished speaking, she picked up the cup in front of her and looked at them.
Meng Ya looked at the red wine in the cup, then looked at Liu Li, and then said: "Master Li, don't drink it, you have to drive when you go back, if other people want to drink, just drink a glass of red wine! ”
"Boss Chen, Sister Xue'er, Sister Xiaowan, Sister Liu Li, I'll do it first. ”
Meng Ya picked up the red wine, looked at it, and drank it all.
Because there was a little wine poured into the cup, very little, so she just drank it in her mouthful.
Although there is not a lot of red wine in the cup, and it is not Meng Ya's way of drinking, it can also be seen from this point that Meng Ya's family background is not very good.
It's not that she hasn't drunk red wine, it can only be said that she drank less, she didn't even have time to taste wine, she just dried it in one gulp, as if she was drinking white wine, and her feelings were deep.
At this table, it is estimated that Liu Li drinks the most red wine, after all, her previous living conditions were still good, and people with knowledge and conditions have very high quality of life requirements.
Therefore, she drinks red wine very elegantly, and it can be seen that she should drink red wine often, which cannot be pretended.
Chen Yang has naturally drunk it, and he also knows a lot of red wine knowledge, such as how to distinguish the quality of red wine, how to sober up, how to drink, which country's red wine is delicious, and so on.
Red wine is particular about hanging glasses, that is, holding a glass of red wine, shaking it gently, the red liquid swirls along the edge of the glass, and then sinks to the bottom of the glass.
Where the red wine passes, the color is crystal clear, leaving a bright red color, and then slowly forming water droplets, hanging the cup for a long time.
Take a bite lightly, the entrance is round, delicate and long, elegant and pure.
These are all signs that red wine is good.
Ordinary red wines simply don't meet these standards.
Chen Yang tasted the red wine given by Manager Zhang, and felt that the taste, bitterness, and elegance, this red wine is not very bad, it is a high-quality red wine, and such a red wine can be sold for at least two hundred or more in the market.
Seeing Chen Yang's expression of drinking, Liu Li felt that she didn't understand this little boss anymore, with his age, he should rarely drink red wine, let alone wine tasting.
Just like Meng Ya is a good example just now, not everyone knows how to taste wine, drinking is like life, it requires a process, not overnight.
