Chapter 133: Family Gathering (7)
The two of them picked up bird's nest and abalone, not to mention that Zhong Jianguo and Zhong Aiguo couldn't stand it, and even Zhong Meng, the daughter of the party, blushed a little. No matter how honest she is, she knows that the dishes ordered by her parents and her second uncle are far apart.
"Brother Xiao Huan, I want a vegetarian dish. This crispy fried enoki mushroom sounds pretty fresh, I haven't eaten it yet, so I want this. Zhong Meng picked the cheapest vegetarian dish and ordered one, but she was much more sensible than her parents.
Zhong Huan nodded and asked the waiter to write it down, and then asked Pei Liyue, "What kind of food does the second aunt like to eat?" ”
"I don't really like any dishes, I just have to have staple foods, or I don't feel like I can get enough to eat. Let's have a big portion of XO sauce fried rice. ”
Pei Liyue also tried to order it cheaper, XO sauce fried rice is only a little more expensive than Yangzhou fried rice, but it feels more high-grade.
"Dad, Mom, what do you want?" Zhong Huan asked his parents again.
"Now that you've got this meal, let's have another soup. I want this Tai Chi vegetarian soup. Zhong Jianguo ordered a soup with a nice name but very cheap.
"Xiao Huan, I just want a fruit plate." Zhang Shulan didn't dare to look at the menu, so she directly ordered the fruit plate, which in her opinion should be regarded as the cheapest dish.
"Hey~ If you want to talk about our table, it's still my sister-in-law's meeting. The signature dish of this Hongda Hotel is the king-size fruit platter that is constantly being introduced. The fruit was so big, sweet, and beautiful, it looked like a fake. By the way, it's the kind placed on the rockery downstairs. The waiter asks for your signature fruit bowl. I think it's eight hundred and eighty-eight, right? ”
The love party saw that everyone else was picking a cheap point, and knew that Zhang Shulan also wanted to pick a cheap fruit plate. But he didn't want his sister-in-law to get his wish, so he directly raised the price.
"Don't! Don't! Why is it so expensive! The fruit in their hotel was bought from Xiao Huan, and I eat it every day at home. Don't want it, change it to a different one. Zhang Shulan was startled when she heard that a fruit bowl cost more than 800, shaking her head and waving her hand.
"Mom, you eat it every day, and the second and third uncles haven't eaten it yet. I want this signature fruit plate. Zhong Huan didn't expect that the price of the fruit of the Ten Thousand Beast Gu would increase several times when it was delivered to the hotel, but since it was a signature dish, he naturally ordered one.
As soon as Zhang Shulan heard her son make the decision, she couldn't say anything more, but she was distressed and regretted that she shouldn't be blind.
"Xiao Huan, you haven't ordered it yourself. Today is your treat, always take care of your taste, we all order one dish, it may not be enough to eat, you order two more. ”
The love party saw that everyone had finished ordering and began to bubble up again. He did the math just now, and this table of dishes is 10,000 yuan less. It is estimated that Zhong Huan will be in pain if he adds an extra dish now.
Zhong Huan is not stupid at all, and now he can see who is thinking about himself at this table, and who is roasting himself on the fire. It's just that they are all a family, and Zhong Huan doesn't want to worry too much about the third uncle and third aunt for Zhong Meng's face. What's more, it's more expensive if he orders it himself.
"I don't think I have enough to eat. Don't look at the bird's nest and shark fin are very expensive, in fact, there are not many things, and no matter if they are full, the real anti-hunger is chicken, duck and fish. Except for the second uncle who ordered a fish, there was nothing else on this table. I'll order a few more. ”
Zhong Huan said and looked at the waiter and said, "Add me a roast suckling pig, a rose soy sauce chicken, a Maggi Australian lobster, and a roasted pipa pigeon......"
"Xiao Huan, it's almost, we can't eat so many dishes." Zhong Aiguo heard that his nephew ordered six or seven dishes in a row, and it was not cheap, so he quickly stopped.
"That's what you need first. Wait a little bit and order it again. By the way, add me another bottle of Feitian Moutai. Lele, Mengmeng, what drink do you want? How about freshly squeezed juices? Zhong Huan asked his younger siblings.
"Brother Xiao Huan, we will listen to you casually." Zhong Le and Zhong Meng were completely suppressed by Zhong Huan's arrogance, and their two pairs of eyes went straight to the little stars.
The love party didn't expect Zhong Huan to be so generous, not only was he frightened by the dishes he ordered, but also added a few good dishes and a bottle of Feitian Moutai of more than 2,000 yuan. It made him feel like he was punching cotton. Looking at Zhong Huan's calm appearance, Zhong Ai Dang couldn't help but start thinking about how much money Zhong Huan made in business.
Zhong Jianguo and Zhang Shulan couldn't guess how much money their son had. They roughly calculated in their hearts that this table of dishes would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan. But looking at Zhong Huan's appearance, he doesn't seem to take it seriously. They don't know if Zhong Huan is really rich or pretending to be rich.
"Xiao Huan, do you bring enough money? If it's not enough, Dad will add it to you. Zhong Jianguo took advantage of the waiter's time to serve the food and asked Zhong Huan in a low voice.
"Dad, you don't care about the money. Let's eat steadily. Zhong Huan saw that his father was still afraid of expensive, and he was really helpless.
"This table of food is almost worth half a year's food money for our family, where am I down-to-earth!" Zhong Jianguo muttered.
"Dad, I'll tell you the truth. These 888 signature fruit plates, why do they have to sell 180 plates a day in this hotel! Peng Lei and I can get half of it, how much do you think we can earn? So don't worry, your son has money. Zhong Huan tapped the menu in front of him with his finger and said.
Zhong Jianguo and Zhang Shulan listened to their son's reckoning, and their hearts suddenly relaxed a lot. If the fruits and vegetables in the hotel are all supplied by the son, then the more expensive the food, the more the son earns. For the first time, the two of them looked at the signature fruit plate with a price of 888 yuan.
Seeing that all kinds of dishes were served one after another, Zhong Le and Zhong Meng swallowed their saliva, and Zhong Huan beckoned everyone to move their chopsticks. Many of the dishes on the table have not been eaten by everyone here, and the chef skills of Hongda Hotel are really good, so the chopsticks can't stop moving, and they all start to eat happily, and they don't care about chatting.
Zhong Huan and his family were eating upstairs, and Zhou Xin, who had been helping in the back kitchen, was also free at the moment. When Zhong Huan asked him to book a private room before the holiday, he didn't take it seriously, but he wrote down the matter in his heart, thinking that he wanted to entertain his buddies well. It's just that Zhong Huan didn't call him today, and the hotel was busy at noon, so Zhou Xin forgot about it. When he was free at the moment, he remembered that Zhong Huan was going to come to the hotel for dinner today.
Zhou Xin looked at the time and found that it was more than one o'clock in the afternoon, so he hurriedly ran from the back kitchen to the front desk, wanting to inquire which private room Zhong Huan was in, and he could go to say hello and do his best to be a landlord.
"Xinxin, why did you run out with a chef's hat? Is there anything urgent? ”
Zheng Lin, the lobby manager, saw a chef running to the front desk, and wondered who was so ignorant of the rules, but after a closer look, he found that it was Zhou Xin. She was quite familiar with Zhou Xin, so she stopped him and asked.
"Sister Zheng, my buddy Zhong Huan came over for dinner today, it should be a box booked with a red diamond card, do you have any impression?" Zhou Xin asked Zheng Lin.
"I saw it, or did I send them upstairs. When Zhong Huan was afraid that you were too busy, he didn't let me inform you. Zheng Lin saw Zhou Xin's anxious look, and knew that his relationship with Zhong Huan was not ordinarily good.
"He's being polite. When I get to my place, I have to say hello no matter how busy I am. Where did he go? Zhou Xin asked.
"I ordered him 1818,." Zheng Lin said.
"Knowing Sister Zheng, I'll go up to find him."
Zhou Xin got on the elevator as he spoke. Halfway through the elevator, Zhou Xin remembered that his father Zhou Hongda had not met Zhong Huan's parents, so he went to Zhou Hongda's office first.
"Xinxin, why don't you help in the back kitchen?" Zhou Hongda's requirements for Zhou Xin are the same as those for other chefs, as long as he is working hours, he is required to stick to his post.
"Dad, Zhong Huan and their parents came to the hotel for dinner today. I'll say hello and ask you if you'd like to come over. Zhou Xin saw that his father's face was not good, so he quickly moved Zhong Huan out.
"Oh? I don't know about that. This kid didn't say a word to me when he came to the hotel. ”
"He was afraid that you would be busy, so he didn't let Manager Zheng in the lobby tell you." Zhou Xin explained.
Zhou Hongda thought about it, if Zhong Huan invited his classmates and friends to dinner, it would not be appropriate to go by himself, just have Zhou Xin go. But Zhong Huan and the elders came to eat, and he should still show his face, so he stood up and said, "Then let's go, let's go over and say hello together." ”
The two of them came out of the office and walked to the box together. When passing by the bathroom, a person came out of the bathroom and wanted to go back to another private room, and the two sides walked face to face.
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, long time no see!" The man recognized Zhou Hongda and took the initiative to greet him.
"It's Mr. Cha! Welcome! Welcome! Coming upstairs today has big business to discuss, right? I wish you all the best. ”
Zhou Hongda recognized the middle-aged man in front of him who had a slightly collapsed nose bridge as Zha Xu, the boss of Sunrise Advertising Company. This Sunrise advertising company is not first-class in Donghai, although Zha Xu usually comes to the hotel to discuss business, but he is not qualified to enter the VIP box. So as soon as Zhou Hongda saw him appear on the eighteenth floor, he knew that the person at the table with him had a higher status.
"I lend you good luck! I don't know what you and Zhou Shao are busy with? Zha Xu pointed to the chef's hat that Zhou Xin hadn't taken off yet, and it was very strange what Zhou Hongda and the two of them were going to do.
"A friend came to the hotel for dinner, we went to say hello. Mr. Cha is busy, let's go over first. ”
Zhou Hongda is in the hotel business, and he pays attention to harmony and wealth, and no one can be offended. So even if Zha Xu is just a second-rate company boss, Zhou Hongda can recognize the greetings. But Zha Xu wants to make friends with Zhou Hongda, but he doesn't have that qualification yet. Zhou Hongda didn't have much patience to chat with him.
"Okay, Mr. Zhou walks slowly."
Zha Xu watched Zhou Hongda walk into box 1818, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart. The people who can come to the VIP box of Hongda Hotel to consume are already either rich or expensive, and it is even more rare for Zhou Hongda and his son to come forward to accompany them in person. If you can get acquainted with the people in this box, it will definitely be good for your future business.
I thought so, but Cha Xu didn't dare to break into the house. Even if he waited outside the door for the people in the house to come out, he didn't dare. Because the person who dined with him this time was also a nobleman, Zha Xu didn't dare to slack off. I had to secretly say that it was a pity and returned to my box.
