0138 18 Dragon Wells (10/10)
Early the next morning, Wu Qian and the three began to pack up after breakfast.
"Steward Wu, I'll help you check out in a while, and I'll go back the way I want to go with the money for the remaining night." In addition, let me ask you, is there a hotel with a similar environment in the magic capital?"
After staying by the West Lake for two nights, Wu Qian has fallen in love with the atmosphere of the mountains and rivers, no matter how good the hotel in the steel and concrete metropolis is, there is no environment between the mountains and rivers to make the soul comfortable, the air here is full of aura, and the air in the city is full of exhaust gas.
"Mr. Wu, if you like this kind of environment, I don't know if you have heard of Aman Hotel. Steward Wu said with a smile.
"You know, when I came to Hangzhou, I made the choice from Aman Fayun and here, but now I'm going to the magic capital. Wu Qian was a little puzzled.
"That's right, let me tell you, Aman has a total of four hotels in the Celestial Empire, and there are also in the Demon Capital. Steward Wu said.
Butler Wu introduced Wu Qian, as a housekeeper of a top luxury hotel, he needs to have a very wide range of knowledge to be competent.
"Yihe, Fayun, Dayan, Yangyun, Aman has a total of four hotels in the Celestial Empire, in Beijing, Hangzhou, Lijiang and the Magic City, and the Magic City is Yangyun Aman. The four hotels have the same style, but the details are very different.
Since you're heading to the Magic Capital, I'd like to tell you a little bit about Aman Yangyun, which was a sensation in the Celestial Empire when it was built, making it the fourth Aman hotel in the Celestial Empire and the largest in the world. It is also the most expensive hotel in the Celestial Empire, costing more than 30 billion.
All residences in the hotel are ancient houses of the Hui school of the Ming and Qing dynasties, with 37 ancient houses and more than 1,000 old camphor trees that are the soul of Amanyangyun. The three of you can consider staying in the old house suite, which is about the size of the presidential palace here, and the environment is quiet and inviting......"
Wu Qian then asked a little more details and decided to book the Aman Yangyun Ancient Mansion Suite, the price is almost the same as the presidential residence of the Four Seasons Hotel in West Lake.
After finishing the matter of the trip to the magic capital, Wu Qian remembered one thing and asked: "Steward Wu, yesterday I drank a pot of tea on the painting boat, it is said to be the Longjing before the Ming Dynasty, I don't know where it was sold." ”
Wu Qian doesn't know how to taste tea, but he still knows very well whether he is comfortable drinking it, and he likes the elegant and fresh taste in the mouth very much, and he is hooked on that feeling at once.
"Hehe, Mr. Wu is elegant and elegant, and he actually knows the Longjing before the Ming Dynasty. I'll give you a direct look, the hotel has a small amount of 'eighteen' Longjing tea. You may be unfamiliar with the name 'Eighteen Trees'.
'Eighteen trees' is the direct descendants of the batch that Qianlong saw when he visited the lake, the middle was transplanted, and the grafting has maintained the taste of 200 years ago, and the current output is only about two taels per year, which is very, very rare on the market. ”
While speaking, Steward Wu gestured out two fingers, and there was a faint look on his expression, as if he was proud that the Four Seasons Hotel in West Lake could store a small number of "eighteen trees".
Wu Qian took a breath after listening to Steward Wu's words, what is the most expensive, of course, it is the most expensive, the output of a year is only 100 grams, and it costs four or five grams to soak a pot, and ten or twenty pots will drink up the output of a year, which is staggering. And this amount is still shared by the people who love Longjing in the whole heavenly dynasty, which is too rare.
"Is it true or not, how much share can be sold?" Wu Qian didn't believe that the hotel would sell all of such rare tea, and because it was too rare, the authenticity was also doubtful.
Steward Wu smiled and said, "Is it true, you can ask an expert to appraise it casually, or you can find a channel to buy some of the best Longjing tea on the market, and compare it together." The hotel does not have much storage, and it can sell you up to 35 grams for 80,000 yuan. ”
If it weren't for the fact that he could talk to Wu Qian, Steward Wu would not have disclosed this kind of news to the guests at all, but the "Eighteen Trees" were not worried about selling at all, and the auction price of one pound easily exceeded one million, so they were still rushing to ask for it outside.
"Ha, it's really much more expensive than gold!" Wu Qian said with a smile, 1 gram of gold is only about 300, and 1 gram of "Eighteen Longjing Tea" is more than 2,000 for a good guy. The direct house price does not have to be refunded, and 35 grams of tea leaves are loaded.
This kind of price is not affordable by ordinary people at all, and a month's salary is almost enough to make a pot, maybe you have to flush less water, otherwise it will be too light to drink.
Driving to the magic capital, Xiong Yali, who was sitting in the back row, looked at a very simple tin can in her hand, which was a little larger than a toothpick holder, and it contained the "Eighteen Longjing Tea", which was seven or eight times more expensive than gold.
"Wu Fatpang, do you think you should go back and invite a tea master, this tea is based on my and Xinxin's technology, in case the water temperature is not well controlled, it is really a tyrannical thing, I can't forgive myself." Xiong Yali said.
With that, Xiong Yali put the tea canister in the center of the red wine box in the back row.
When Wu Qian and Wu Steward traded tea before, the two women did not follow aside, and later heard Wu Qian talk about the price of this tea, but it really scared the two women, and the heart said Could it be that Wu Qian was fooled, but they checked on the Internet, if it was really "Eighteen Longjing Tea", the price was not exaggerated at all.
"It's such an exaggeration, and you can soak it by mastering the basic essentials. Wu Qian said with a smile.
As we travel eastward, the sun rises and the temperature rises, making it steaming hot and cool on the highway. It was only a hundred kilometers from Hangzhou to the magic capital, and it didn't take more than 2 hours for Wu Qian's people to approach Amanyangyun.
Aman Yangyun is located in Maqiao Town, the "Land of the Dragon's Back" in the magic capital, which is part of the Minhang region and is very unfamiliar to many locals. One thing Aman hotel entrances around the world have in common is that they are so secluded that they can be missed if you're not careful.
It took Wu Qian a lot of effort to find the way, and when he drove through the forest road, he actually saw the mist rising around him from a distance, like a fairyland, which was really amazing.
I drove the car to the parking lot in front of the hotel lobby and parked it, and I saw the blue brick and gray tile horse-head wall, and I needed to walk through a corridor full of ritual to enter the building, everything was old, and the sense of time travel was stronger than staying at the Four Seasons Hotel in West Lake by boat, as if I had returned to an ancient dynasty in an instant.
Wu Qian three people into the hotel lobby, a strong wood fragrance came to the nose, fixed a look, in front of them is a huge wooden hollow entrance, all four sides are made of 100% gold silk nan wood handmade, the workmanship is extremely exquisite.
In ancient times, this precious wood was the favorite material used by emperors to build palaces and mausoleums, because it will not change color and rot for thousands of years, and it is the lightest of all woods. Golden silk nanmu not only has the property of resisting decay, but also has a natural fragrance that water cannot bite, ants can not burrow, winter is not cold, summer is not hot, and it smells refreshing.
