(Thanks to the then brothers for their enthusiastic support)

There are many factions in the domestic food culture, and Huaihai Province is sandwiched between Luyang, and it is a place where land and water meet, forming a taste of Chen hybridization, which is not particularly outstanding.

However, in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the rich and noble families in the province had a strong family background and a luxurious life, and there were also people who were extremely particular about food, and the Sun family was one of them.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Sun family in Donghua had the deeds of "three catties of daily cooking venison, from morning cooking to the west of the door under the shadow of the sun", the family history was more prosperous in the Republic of China, and more than a dozen people in the house were dedicated to serving the diet, after half a century of pondering, the Sun house also formed a set of quite perfect, expensive private cuisine.

The hall in the Sun family's mansion was called Shangxi Garden, which is also the origin of the name of Shangxi Garden.

On the eve of liberation, the Sun family fled overseas in a panic, so naturally they would not have the heart to take the family kitchen with them, and let them disperse.

In order to become a model of high-end catering in Donghua, Shangxi Garden naturally has the top priority. To be high-end, but also different from the dishes of Huxi Academy and South Garden, to avoid unnecessary competition, to stand out from the crowd, naturally not a simple matter.

In the end, it was Sun Yalin who personally helped find the chef who was left in Donghua by the Sun family, Peng Yuhai, who was already in his eighties at this time, and Peng Yuhai recommended his third-generation successor Peng Yuliang to Shangxi Garden to be the chef to restore the essence of Sun's cuisine in the early years.

The banquet of Zhao Qiuhua, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and Su Weijun, secretary general of the provincial party committee, and his party can be praised, which is a crucial matter related to whether it can be a hit.

Although Shen Huai asked Chen Tong not to be nervous, he really wanted to do it here, and he was so nervous that his palms were sweating.

Returning from the Caijiaqiao community, Shen Huai ran to the back to see the preparations for the dinner, and saw Chen Dan also standing in the kitchen, and said jokingly: "I'm worried about a hairy head, if you do it, you can do it, who dares to say that today's food is not delicious, I'll take a plate and put it on his face." ”

Chen Danjiao glared at Shen Huai with disgust and said, "There is no preparation here, and some ingredients need to be prepared two to three days in advance, even if they are borrowed from Nanyuan, they can't catch up." For the real Sun family cuisine, we can only cook two tables now, and the other six tables can only be replaced with ordinary dishes. Director Liu and Pan Shihua asked Secretary Tan for instructions, do you think there is a problem......

"No problem," Shen Huai said, "The main leaders of the provinces and cities and the representatives of Fuji Steel can only sit at two tables, and the others are not so elegant, so I'll go and tell them." ”

Shen Huai is not very particular about clothing, food, housing and transportation, but although Sun Yalin is not very picky, when it comes to the fine knowledge of clothing, food, housing and transportation, the profound heritage of the century-old family can make most people feel inferior when they stand in front of her.

The craftsmanship of the chef of Shangxi Garden was personally studied by Sun Yalin, Shen Huai didn't think there would be any problems, and asked Chen Dan to pull the menu to show him, he looked at the dishes one by one, and felt dazzling, thinking that a table of dishes would probably eat up the wages of ordinary workers for a year.

Anyway, Shen Huai couldn't help but feel sorry for anything, so he ran back to Tan Qiping with the menu.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it can only be like this, seeing that Shangxi Garden is almost ready, he will notify the banquet.

Although Zhao Qiuhua is also a person who does not get tired of eating, but when he came out of Nanyuan at noon, he was also hungry when he walked down this big circle, and the diet of Shangxi Garden was indeed above the level, and he was naturally full of praise after eating a banquet.

It is necessary to arrange for Zhao Qiuhua and Su Weijun to rest early, and to leave enough time for them to collude with local officials, and the banquet will end before eight o'clock, and Tan Qiping, Wu Haifeng, and Gao Tianhe will accompany Zhao, Su, and others and the Japanese representatives back to the Nanyuan Hotel.

Shen Huai had no intention of colluding with Zhao Qiuhua and Su Weijun, standing in the parking lot on the west side of Shangxi Garden, and said goodbye to them.

Although the provincial party committee presided over the signing ceremony, the entertainment expenses, including some commemorative gold coins for the signing ceremony presented to Zhao Qiuhua and other officials and their entourage, were all taken from the preparatory group of the joint venture factory.

Guo Chengfeng came to Zhou Ming to sign the bill from Shangxiyuan, and Zhou Ming looked at the numbers on the bill, and was in a trance for a while.

Nobuo Yamazaki, who was standing on the side, saw that Zhou Ming was holding the bill and did not move, thinking that he was waiting for him, so he took it and signed it directly and handed it back. In the past, Nobuo Yamazaki came to Donghua as a guest, but from now on, as the general manager of the Japanese side of the joint venture factory, he will lead the Japanese team to be stationed in Donghua and participate in the preparation, construction and future operation of the joint venture factory, and he will be regarded as half the master.

For the earliest foreign-funded enterprises to enter the mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japanese capital are the most adaptable, while European and American enterprises are much worse. This is mainly due to the fact that there is no essential cultural difference between Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japanese capital and the mainland, and that Japanese-funded enterprises are not necessarily worse than domestic enterprises in dealing with bureaucracy and humane society.

The total investment of the joint venture factory is as high as 600 million, and it is normal for Nobuo Yamazaki to take 10 million to dredge all kinds of joints and entertain such an important person as Zhao Qiuhua.

Zhou Ming secretly sighed, and he could understand why He Yuelian was keen on high-end catering, damn it, it's really a bite to bite when you have more money.

Nobuo Yamazaki said goodbye to Shen Huai and said, "In Meixi Town in the future, please take more care." ”

Shen Huai smiled and said, "Mr. Yamazaki, you're welcome. ”

Zhou Ming glanced at Shen Huai with an awkward face, feeling that it would be bad to follow him if he didn't say a word, but he was afraid that Shen Huai would give him a look on his face if he said it. Fortunately, Shen Huai turned his head to talk to Zhou Zhibai, so he thought he couldn't see it, turned his head and got into the car. However, Luo Li, the vice president of the joint venture factory and the city steel mill, came over and said a few words to Shen Huai before leaving by car.

Not everyone wants to go to South Park to join in the fun or be careful, so they just say goodbye and leave.

The people dispersed one after another, and the busyness of the day stopped.

Shen Huai said a few words to He Qingshe, Huang Xinliang, Liu Weiguo, Chu Yiliang and others, asking them to go back first, and he walked back to find Chen Dan.

"Governor Zhao, don't you have to go with you?" Chen Dan was in his younger brother Chen Tong's office, and when he saw Shen Huai walking in lightly, he asked suspiciously.

"It's not a person on the same line, it's useless for me to come over," Shen Huai shook his head and smiled, "I brought two million cash to send over, Zhao Qiuhua, does he dare to accept my money?"

Shen Huai sat down on the sofa and saw Chen Tong and Zhu Liling, the lobby manager of Shangxi Garden, walking in, and said, "It is really good that Shangxi Garden's level in the future can be maintained as it is today." ”

"Is it really possible?" Zhu Liling asked uncertainly, "I've been worried all night, I'm afraid that something will be negligent and scold Secretary Shen." ”

"If you want to say that you are not satisfied with anything," Shen Huai gestured his hip and said, "It's not high enough here!"

Zhu Liling subconsciously bent down and covered the slit of the cheongsam, so that Shen Huai would not have a chance to see her exposed white and tender thighs again - it was not very exposed, but when Shen Huai was teased like this, Zhu Liling's face was flushed with shame.

"Nonsense," Chen Dan smiled and smashed something at Shen Huai, and said angrily, "There is a restaurant on East Street, there is a high slit there, and it is said that it is going to recruit a club, and they are all beautiful girls-there will be a place for you to fool around in the future." ”

Shen Huai said to Zhu Liling seriously: "Do you have any friends you can trust in Nanyuan?"

"There are one or two, what's wrong?" asked Zhu Liling.

"There will be some people going to see Zhao Qiuhua and Su Weijun tonight, you can help me care about the license plates of these people," Shen Huai said, "Don't pass it out, it's my order." ”

"What's wrong?" asked Chen Dan.

"The world is crowded, all for profit," Shen Huai said with a smile, "Donghua used to be a dilapidated place, and no one looked down on it, so I wasn't afraid of others worrying about it - now there are big projects in Donghua one after another, and it's impossible to make others not greedy, you don't think that others are fuel-efficient lamps, right?"

Chen Dan didn't ask anything more, knowing that the world Shen Huai lived in was much more complicated than ordinary people imagined, just like a movie - Shen Huai picked up his coat, stood up, and said to Chen Dan: "Old Xiong, his little granddaughter is full moon, I said I wanted to go over to see it, but the favor has not been sent yet;

"Hmm......" Chen Dan picked up his coat and walked out with Shen Huai.

"By the way, I want to run a high-end liquor store on East Street, and take the agency rights of two wineries in Donghua, what do you think?" Chen Tong had a rare opportunity to talk to Shen Huai, and he didn't let go easily when he caught the opportunity, and followed Shen Huai and his sister out, asking questions as they went.

"Yes," Shen Huai said, "If you have an idea, it doesn't hurt to try more, as long as you don't do anything illegal." To put it more vulgarly, don't expect me to wipe your ass. ”

Chen Tong touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly: "I'm not as brainless as before." ”

Shen Huai smiled and patted him on the shoulder and walked out with Chen Dan.

Sitting in the car, Chen Dan fastened his seat belt, sighed lightly, and said: "It is said that 200,000 yuan can run a school, and half of the school will be eaten in this meal." ”

Shen Huai reversed the car with the steering wheel and said to Chen Dan: "If you want to be a capitalist, you are really not more qualified than Chen Tong, but he is not embarrassed to tell me that he wants to contract the cultural station building." ”

The Nagisa Creek Hotel will be repossessed by the town in July. In the past, the source of customers of Zhuxi Hotel had to be diverted to Pengyue International Hotel, the Meiyuan Restaurant and Youth Hostel operated by He Yuelian and the Zhuyuan Hotel under construction, and Chen Dan would focus on Shangxi Garden, mainly doing high-end catering.

Chen Tong wants to be a high-end wine monopoly, and he should be somewhat unwilling to divert the customers of Zhuxi Hotel, and the business experience of Zhuxi Hotel can also let him know that the profits of wine are quite rich.

"People always have to be content, and when you talk about the appointment with Pengyue, how can you regret it?" Chen Dan said.

At the beginning, Pengyue took the loan of 40 million yuan for the construction of Zhujiang River, and one of the conditions was that after the completion of Zhuxi Avenue, the town government would withdraw the contracting right of the cultural station building to ensure that more tourists were diverted to Pengyue International Hotel, changing the status quo of Pengyue International Hotel's continuous losses in the past two years since its completion.

Although the Zhuxi Hotel is not scheduled to close until the end of June, the opening of Zhuxi Avenue for a week has already brought a considerable number of customers to Pengyue International Hotel.

This is also because a Zhuxi hotel is far from the needs of Meixi Town's economic development.

Some customers are not price sensitive, but they are more concerned about enjoyment. With the opening of Zhuxi Avenue, Pengyue International Hotel, which was renovated to a three-star standard, naturally became their first choice for check-in, dining and banquets.

At present, it seems that even if the Zhuxi Hotel is not closed, it will not affect the recovery of the profitability of Pengyue International Hotel, but if Shen Huai wants to take back the Cultural Station Building and allocate it to Meixi Middle School, the plan will not be changed.

Chen Tong did not propose to keep the Zhuxi Hotel, he was not too greedy, Shen Huai was still quite relieved, he was also afraid that Chen Tong was young and vigorous at this time, and he did not know how to advance or retreat.
