The Dragon and Phoenix Hall on the 8th floor of the Peace Hotel of the Legend Hotel has a history of more than 80 years and is still the top restaurant in people's hearts.

The Peace Hotel was built in 1929 by Victor Sassoon, a British Jew, and was originally known as the Chinachem Hotel and Sassoon Building.

Perhaps only the Peace Hotel is the most distinctive in the entire Nanjing East Road, the appearance of the whole building belongs to the Chicago School Gothic, and the exterior wall is made of granite stone blocks, which is the first modernist building in the history of modern architecture in the magic capital.

Arthur, who was dressed in a British style haute couture suit, and Jiang Lai, who was holding his arm, was wearing a simple white dress-style dress, with a wide belt of black hollow flowers around the waist, which looked simple and atmospheric, and the figure was very man, and the black hair was combed to the left.

Zheng Bao, who had been waiting in the hall for a long time, saw his beautiful classmate walking in with a tall, handsome, slightly young handsome foreign guy, and the tall and burly bodyguard who followed the two with cold eyes and indifferent expressions, his eyes flickered slightly, and a bright sunny smile appeared on his face.

"Hehe, I've finally waited for you... Zheng Bao smiled and stepped forward to greet Jiang Lai, who was smiling like a flower, and then stretched out his hand very generously and calmly to greet Arthur in English.

"Hello, I am Jiang Lai's friend, Zheng Bao, welcome to the Celestial Empire, I am very happy to meet you. ”

"Thank you, hello, I'm Jiang Lai's boyfriend, Arthur Boleyn, you can call me Arthur, it's a pleasure to know you. Arthur didn't speak in Chinese, but smiled and shook hands with the little leopard he often saw on TV, and spoke English.

Jiang Lai glanced at Arthur with some funny charm, she knew that her little man was going to play a prank again, but she didn't break it, but held Arthur's arm intimately, and said to the little leopard with a sweet smile: "What dishes have you ordered, his mouth is ruthless." ”

"Don't worry, I'll do your job, you can rest assured, the absolute most authentic and classic local dishes, guaranteed to make your man satisfied. The little leopard said with a guarantee, and then lowered his voice and continued to say to Jiang Lai: "By the way, was my previous greeting a bit casual, didn't you say that he was an earl?

As he spoke, he also secretly glanced at Arthur, who was admiring the huge silver reliefs on the walls of the Octagonal Pavilion, one of the most iconic places in the Peace Hotel, while Jiang Lai chuckled angrily and teased: "Since you know, why don't you say that?"

"Ahh The little leopard said with some dumbfounded chagrin.

"Hehe, just kidding, don't do that, follow the locals, besides, we are a private party, he won't care, if it's public, if you can, you can add a Your Excellency. Jiang Lai saw the little leopard's wry smile and knew that he was a face-saving character, so he hurriedly smiled and whispered.

"Hehe, that's good. However, you can, this kind of best can be accepted by you, so that Xiaochen and the others can see it, and they are not envious and jealous!" The little leopard did not forget to laugh teasingly.

Jiang Lai's beautiful face showed a faint smug smile, but he said with disgust: "Don't talk nonsense. Then he turned to Arthur and said in English, "Honey, let's go up." ”

Arthur smiled and nodded, and after nodding to the little leopard, a group of five people came to the innermost elevator under the guidance of the welcome staff.

"This elevator is an old elevator that has been preserved in the old magic capital, and it is very tasteful, giving people a feeling as if they have traveled back to the old magic capital. In the elevator, the little leopard introduced with a smile, looked at Jiang Lai from time to time, and motioned for Jiang Lai to translate for Arthur.

And Jiang Lai just pursed his lips and smiled, his beautiful eyes narrowed into crescent moons, while Arthur nodded and smiled and suddenly said: "It is indeed very tasteful, just like the scenes in many old movies, there are feelings everywhere." ”

"Poof—"

Zheng Bao heard Arthur suddenly speak fluent Mandarin, and was almost choked by his own spit, his face was stunned, and his eyes widened to look at Arthur with a wicked smile.

"Gurgle... Looking at Zheng Bao's expression, Jiang Lai couldn't hold back anymore and snuggled up to Arthur's arm and laughed, trembling.

"Ahem. You two ... It's really, annoying!" The little leopard, who immediately thought of something, shook his head and looked at Arthur and Jiang Lai and complained.

"Hehe, I only have a little bit of Chinese, don't worry, I didn't hear you and her muttering before... Arthur continued to laugh and tease.

"I believe you're weird, you two are very bad!" The little leopard also saw that Arthur was a playful and open character, so he didn't continue to stretch it, laughing and complaining trying to close the distance between them.

"Giggles, Arthur is very gifted in languages, and it didn't take long for me to teach him that he could communicate simply in Chinese. Jiang Lai looked at Arthur sweetly, and then explained with a smile.

Looking at the sweet appearance of the two, the little leopard rolled his eyes angrily and complained: "I shouldn't have come if I knew I wouldn't have come, but it's better now, I was forced to eat dog food by you!"

"Hehe, you are very humorous, I heard Lay introduce you, big star, it's nice to meet you!" Arthur smiled and reached out to shake the other party's hand again, this time in Chinese.

"What a big star, don't listen to her, it's just a rookie actor, I should be happy, I can meet a nobleman from England, a billionaire, a proper big man!" said the little leopard with a smile.

"Alright, don't be poor. Hearing the two praising each other, Jiang Lai glanced at the two of them with a sweet smile, Arthur and the little leopard looked at each other and smiled, and then the elevator also reached the eighth floor.

"Ding—"

The elevator door opens, and you will see the lobby paved with Italian marble, with square pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes standing all around, a luxurious style of decorative arts and celestial style, and a characteristic extravagant vaulted dome, set off by classic crystal chandeliers. It's so atmospheric that you can't take your eyes off it.

"Dragon and Phoenix Room, the signature restaurant of the Peace Hotel, mainly serves local cuisine and Cantonese cuisine, and it is also famous throughout the magic city, and it has won many high-profile awards in the catering industry. The little leopard introduced Arthur like a treasure.

Arthur nodded while looking at the crimson tables and chairs in the dining room, with green beams and columns, and the whole restaurant was dominated by classic Chinese style. At the top of the restaurant are carved golden dragons and golden phoenixes, classic local dishes, which seem to be more humane in such an environment.

At this time, a waiter greeted him, and after the little leopard said a few words to the other party, Arthur and his party followed the waiter to the box, and I have to say that the little leopard was really well prepared.

After taking a seat in the box, the little leopard instructed the waiters to serve the food, and then said to Arthur with a smile: "Let's taste the food first, and then go to the Jasmine Lounge for a few drinks later, where there is a chic atmosphere of the old magic capital, and enjoy the performance of the most representative senior jazz orchestra of the Peace Hotel, this senior jazz band is composed of six musicians who have been engaged in music for more than half a century, and the average age is now seventy-two."

The band's founder and captain, Mr. Zhou Lao, and the jazz drum player, Mr. Cheng Lao, are both members of the Jamie King Band, the first jazz band composed of people from the Celestial Empire, who swept the Paramount Ballroom in the 40s of the last century. That's definitely one of the most beautiful scenery in the Peace Hotel!"

When Arthur heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head and exclaimed: "That's really to appreciate it and feel the pursuit and dedication of these old artists to jazz music!"

"Hehe, I won't let you down, to be honest, every time I hear them play, I have a feeling of being moved to worship!" said the little leopard with heartfelt emotion.
