646 Michelin-starred chefs in place
Not long after Liu Yun left, Lin Haocang saw Zhang Ningjun walking towards the villa, so Lin Haocang leaned against the door and hooked his finger towards Zhang Ningjun.
Zhang Ningjun said shyly: "What do you want to do, this bad look"
"Brother Haocang, it's dinner time now, let's go have dinner."
"Hey, Brother Haocang, the chefs you invited should be ready for dinner!"
Lin Haocang looked at the time, it was more than seven o'clock, he was with Liu Yun just now, and he consumed a lot of protein, so it was time to replenish it.
"Well, try the chefs' craft."
Chefs such as three-Michelin-starred chef Haston Blumenthal hired by Mr. Lin Haochang will customize the lunch, and Westspring Villa can help when necessary.
This time, he invited a total of nine chefs, and the rest of the thirty.
These people should have been transported by helicopter by Lin Haocang's bodyguards a few hours ago.
With so many chefs cooking dinner for him, Lin Haocang is really looking forward to what kind of scene it will be.
Lin Haocang seemed to have smelled the aroma of food, and then Lin Haocang changed into a piece of clothing.
After about fifteen minutes of work, Liu Yun changed into a looser suit and rushed back.
Liu Yun saw that Zhang Ningjun was also present, and suddenly felt very ashamed and ashamed in her heart.
After all, an hour ago, he hooked up with Zhang Ningjun's boyfriend.
If Zhang Ningjun, a rich lady, knew, would be miserable!
She hurriedly said, "Mr. Lin, Miss Zhang, it's dinner time, I'll take you over for dinner!"
"Okay, Miss Liu"
Along the way, although Liu Yun was still calm and steady, Lin Haocang obviously noticed that she was a little afraid to look at her.
Obviously, it was the previous incident that made her embarrassed and ashamed in front of Zhang Ningjun,
This woman is really a little bold, Lin Haocang smiled when he thought of this.
After about ten minutes, Liu Yun took Lin Haocang and Zhang Ningjun to a large auditorium with an area of more than 500 square meters, and the exterior of the auditorium was in a very traditional architectural style of the Forbidden City.
And inside, it's a world.
The dome of the auditorium is more than ten meters high from the ground, and there are many wooden squares on it, and there is an abstract painting of Shui Liu in each box.
There are black, white and brown tiles on the ground, but these three colors are combined with a visual blinding effect, making people feel that the ground seems to rise and fall, as if walking on the mountain.
The interior of the auditorium is a collision of traditional Chinese aesthetics and abstract post-modernism, and the designer's amazing artistic skills combine the two.
Lin Haocang thought of Xiaheyuan Chengyuan Villa and had a similar feeling.
He asked, "Why do you all have a bit of a different feeling about the buildings in Xiquan Villa?"
Lin Haocang's voice echoed in the huge auditorium.
Liu Yun understood what he meant, and replied: "Actually, five years ago, the villa was very traditional inside and outside the palace style, and then our new manager took office, and felt that the original style was too old, so the interior scenery was renovated. β
"What you're seeing now is the interior set that we hired to design by Lawrence, a Chinese designer. β
Lawrence Xu?
Lin Haocang has heard of this name, and he has also seen the works he designed:
The Oriental Xiangyun dragon robe dress worn by a popular international superstar on the red carpet in Cannes came from his hands.
Lin Haocang nodded affirmatively: "The transformation is very successful." β
If Lawrence can be invited to design an identical dragon robe for Zhang Ningjun to wear now, the final effect is estimated to be very interesting.
On both sides of the auditorium are mahogany shelves tens of meters long, on which a variety of porcelain artworks are placed.
Lin Haocang led Zhang Ningjun and slowly paced to the side of the wooden frame to browse these utensils, he was surprised to find that not only were they not good-looking, but they were also probably worth a lot of money.
Walking to the middle of the cabinet, Lin Haocang saw five extremely unique small cups, the body of the cup looked like pottery but not pottery, like iron and not iron, and there were bright blue feather-like markings inside, which were as brilliant as the vastness of the galaxy under the light.
Lin Haocang felt as if he had seen it in the documentary, thought about it and asked, "Jianzhan?"
"Yes, Mr. Lin, you are really good eyesight. β
Liu Yun introduced: "These are Jianzhan, oil droplet Tianmu, partridge spots, from the hands of the intangible inheritor Cai Yuanhe master, what you see is a set of tea sets, worth more than 200,000 yuan." β
Walking further, Lin Haocang saw many precious porcelain.
Clearing the Golden Flower and Bird General Jar;
Qing Xuantong official kiln sky blue glaze three-hole gourd bottle;
filigree cloisonnΓ© ruyi ornaments;
......
After seeing a lot of precious porcelain, a very modern bracelet appeared in front of Lin Haocang's eyes.
Liu Yun took the initiative to explain: "This is the work of British jewelry design guru Ethan Smith who won the diamond category of the World Jewelry Design Competition, the whole body is made of wavy black porcelain, the surface is embedded with a platinum frame, and 1,200 diamonds are set on it. β
"Two months ago, Prince William's girlfriend had taken it to the camera for 16 seconds, so its value skyrocketed, and we spent a lot of money to get it back, and it's one of the most expensive of these devices. β
Lin Haocang naturally knows Catherine, she is the princess of Prince William's wedding, and she became a member of the royal family from Cinderella.
It seems that this black porcelain diamond bracelet still has room for appreciation in the future.
"These are all the private collections of our villa manager's family, and this auditorium is never open unless there are special circumstances, so Manager Zhao stored them here, which can be regarded as welcoming VIPs. β
Lin Haocang nodded slightly.
And Zhang Ningjun always maintained a faint smile, and his eyes were also very clear.
After taking a look at the things on this row of mahogany shelves, he already had a rough estimate in his mind, and the combined value of these utensils was probably more than 10 million.
It's a lot of extravagance.
It turned out that I was going to eat in what seemed to be a private collection.
Liu Yun led Lin Haocang and Zhang Ningjun to a well-appointed room at the corner of the auditorium: "Mr. Lin, wait a minute, the time has not yet come, the chef you hired is still preparing, I will ask them to come out." β
Normally, if you go to a more upscale restaurant, the chefs will not come out to meet the diners directly.
But now it's different, Lin Haocang directly called them to serve himself, so of course he can see each other if he wants, and it is more convenient to communicate face-to-face.
After a while, I saw ten people from the back kitchen coming to Lin Haocang's room.
Two of them are white, and the other eight are Chinese chefs, who specialize in eight cuisines.
One of the two white chefs was a man over 50 years old, and his hair was already graying, and Lin Haocang knew that he was the three-Michelin-starred restaurant Watersideon Blumenthal.
He just smiled and nodded to Lin Haocang, and did not deliberately flatter with enthusiasm, and Lin Haocang didn't care at all, the three-star Michelin chef can be regarded as an artist in food in a sense.
Artists, after all, have to have a little cold temperament to create excellent works.
The other white woman who accompanied her was very young, estimated to be in her early twenties, not so much white, Lin Haocang felt that she looked more like a mixed-race Chinese.
As he expected, the woman's mouth was actually an authentic Beijing film: "Hello Mr. Lin, I'm Anna Wu, you can call me Wu Lifei, the pastry chef of the Waterside Inn restaurant, French-Chinese, and your translator this time." β
Lin Haocang took the list of dishes she handed over, briefly skimmed through them, and asked, "What is the amount of each meal?"
Wu Lifei thought for a while and said, "Generally, you can't eat enough for three bites. β
Lin Haocang nodded, exactly as he expected.
Lin Haocang deliberately asked the amount, because of the amount of Northeast cuisine, a plate is enough to eat, and the belly of the person is bulging as if he is pregnant with Nezha.
However, the more high-end the restaurant, the less the portion, like the amount of a meal with most Michelin stars, Lin Haocang is gone.
So a little bit more.
