Johnson laughed, a little interesting, and asked, "How many rooms are there?"

Steward Hu said: "After the reform and opening up, there is no concept of star-rated hotels in the mainland, and Diaoyutai itself is a classical garden with unique scenery, and the designer refers to the garden villa in the Jiangnan garden style. ”

"At that time, due to the urgency of time, the capital had limited material resources, and it was necessary to mobilize skilled craftsmen from all over the country. For example, the furniture of the State Guesthouse is customized from the magic capital, the carpet is customized from Tianjin and Hong Kong, the silk material is from Suzhou, and the tableware and porcelain are customized from Jingdezhen. ”

After speaking, he pointed to a building outside the car window and said: "That is the presidential suite of Building 18, which only entertains international VIPs, and is basically not open to the public." ”

Johnson turned his head and looked at the mysterious Villa 18, which resembles the structure of an emperor's palace, with a yellow glazed tile roof and green painted beams. The building is three storeys high, and it is full of magnificence and gold and jade under the neon lights.

Steward Hu said with a smile: "Of course, in addition to the presidential building, the other 17 buildings also have their own merits and different styles, all of which are modern buildings, and the downstairs is generally a reception room, equipped with a restaurant or a conference negotiation hall." ”

"There is no No. 1 building in foreign policy, expressing equality and harmony ......"

"In order to respect the customs of European countries, there is no ...... in Building 13"

"Taking into account our cultural traditions, Fang Fei Yuan will replace Building 17, and Bafang Yuan will replace Building 4......"

"Building 2 is bordered by the central lake in the west and cherry orchards in the south, and there are 27 sets of head suites, deluxe suites, ordinary rooms and standard rooms in the building......"

This is the twelfth building, facing Fangfei Garden, the hall has Liu Haisu's famous huge Chinese painting "Jiangshan Duojiao". There are rockeries, streams, springs, ponds, and precious flowers and trees. It was the residence of the Founding Leader, where President Reagan and Margaret Thatcher stayed......"

"President Richard Nixon came to China for a historic ice-breaking trip to meet with the President and Prime Minister. The place to stay is Building 18. At the banquet, he also specially demonstrated the chopsticks skills that he had practiced for more than half a year......"

"In September 1982, Margaret Thatcher visited China and stayed in Building 12. From here to the Great Hall of the People, the old grandmother actually fell on the steps......"

All the way down, Johnson listened and watched, and sure enough, it had its own style, worthy of being a state guesthouse, and any room had a great background.

The car stopped slowly, Steward Hu got out of the car, helped Johnson open the car door, and introduced: "This is Building No. 6, located in the northwest corner, and the Yuyuantan stream flows right in front of the building. ”

Johnson turned around, and through the dense woods, a pool of clear water loomed into view. It's really the water of love, and the jade belt rings around the waist.

Walking into the living room on the first floor, it is bright and atmospheric, with two rows of leather sofas and a red wool carpet at the feet, which brings wealth and solemnity to the face.

Johnson suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance, came to the huge Bogu frame on the right, looked at the calm and atmospheric shape, and exclaimed: "This is ...... Rosewood?"

"Yes, good eyesight. Steward Hu stood behind him and said with a smile: "All the furniture in the State Guest House is mahogany, and the worst is wenge, and the presidential suite is all rosewood and huanghuali." ”

Johnson takes a deep breath, and the unique sweet fragrance of red sandalwood penetrates into the heart and spleen, which is refreshing. The master liked the bracelet the most during his lifetime, and played all day long, and the ordinary red sandalwood bracelet was at least a few hundred larger, so it is conceivable that such a huge Bogu shelf.

Ming Xuande blue bouquet folded along the plate,

Qing Yongzheng Doucai chicken bowl cup,

Qianlong kiln glazed pomegranate.

Johnson looked at the dazzling array of antiques on the Bogu shelf, all of which were genuine and second-class cultural relics, which was called heritage.

There is a huge sea of tea on the left hand, for the guests to rest and drink tea, looking at the grimace lines on it, it turned out to be a whole piece of Huanghuali, and even the pier sitting under the buttocks is Qianlong chisel enamel process......

This is called low-key luxury!

Steward Hu took Johnson to the second floor and came to the presidential suite, and the moment he opened the door, the luxurious and warm atmosphere was undoubtedly revealed in the 400 square meters.

The octagonal two-storey lobby is spacious and spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a panoramic view of the elegant scenery and historical charm outside.

Stepping into the room, on the left is a panoramic ultra-luxury bathroom facing the central lake, with a double jacuzzi, sauna and shower and fully automatic toilet.

Dining room for 10, private study, walk-in closet, master bedroom with marble bathroom, spacious lounge with guest bath.

The luxurious and comfortable master bedroom is also equipped with a separate walk-in dressing room and powder room on both sides, and there is also an independent and private spa room.

Steward Hu asked the doorman to put down the shopping bag, came behind Johnson, and said softly: "You rest first? ”

Johnson nodded, looked at the backs of the three of them leaving, took a long breath, came to the bathroom, even the faucet was trimmed with gold, and took a comfortable hot shower first.

I came out refreshed, changed into new casual clothes, and lay on the soft big bed with my stomach growling, only to realize that I hadn't eaten a full meal all day.

Pressing the service bell, Steward Hu quickly knocked on the door and came in, Johnson looked at his watch and asked, "What do you have to eat at night?"

"Do you want to eat in the suite?" or ......," Steward Hu explained, "There are ten chefs in the presidential suite, and there are eight major cuisines. The western food is also good, just entered the good filet mignon, and the cellar red wine, you see......"

Johnson stood up, it was only eight o'clock, living here is to fulfill the dream of the master, as a chef, how can he let go of the craftsmanship of the imperial dining room?

Downstairs to the restaurant, today is only himself, take the menu, each with the chef's name written underneath, Johnson turned a few pages, and asked casually, "Do you have any recommendations?"

"What is your usual taste?" asked Steward Hu, "Our chef draws on the strengths of the eight major cuisines, as well as the essence of dishes from all over the world. Up to the palace cuisine records, down to the folk snacks, the biggest feature is fresh and elegant, pure and timeless. ”

"Usually Chinese and Western food, seven dishes, two dim sum, and one fruit. The workmanship is exquisite, and the taste is very delicious. ”

"If you have a personal recommendation, Chef Zhang Yunshan's skills are widely acclaimed, you can try it. ”

Johnson turned back to the first page, it should be the top brand, Huaiyang cuisine is the mainstay, and the order said: "Fresh abalone grilled sea cucumber, gastrodia steamed fresh fish, clear soup matsutake mushroom......"

"Well, let's have a stir-fried double vegetarian, the staple rice, and a bowl of white porridge. ”

Steward Hu took note of it, took the menu and said, "Our fresh fruit bowl here is also a specialty, would you like to try it?"

Johnson nodded, the back kitchen began to prepare, and Steward Hu stood beside him, ready to call at any time. The tableware on the table is customized by Jingdezhen, with a bright yellow background and blue and white patterns, which is full of royal style.

Picking up the teacup, Longjing before the rain, his mouth was full of relish, and he couldn't help but ask: "What is the name of the best chef here?"
