Chapter 321: Exclamations at the State Banquet
readx;
Li Mingbao's words were neither too loud nor too small. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But all these people who are eating at the main table can hear it. After Li Mingbao said this, Li Mingyao didn't react, but the others were immediately frightened, and almost didn't make a whole row of inhaling sounds.
If you want to talk about the plate of bear's paws that Li Mingbao pointed to, many of them have eaten it. But he never thought that Li Mingbao would actually say that he would buy this dish with 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, and he was very happy to see it.
What does it mean not to use money as money? In the eyes of these people, Li Mingbao is such a typical example. Not to mention 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, even if it is 10,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy such a dish, these people feel that it is ridiculously expensive, and it is simply blackmail. Now Li Mingbao actually said 300,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy such a dish, if this is the case, according to Li Mingbao's statement, today's table of dishes will be at least one million Hong Kong dollars.
In this way, even if they are high-level people in the mainland, they can't stand Li Mingbao's prices. Where is this eating, it's simply eating money. On the contrary, Li Mingyao, who heard Li Mingbao speak, said in surprise when he heard his fifth brother say that the dish in front of him was a bear's paw: "This is a bear's paw?" I really didn't see it. You've never eaten anything like this in Hong Kong, have you? How can you see it at a glance? ”
Li Mingbao naturally wouldn't say that this was something he remembered, so he could only pull it to other places: "It's very simple, I've seen pictures of other bear's paw dishes, although I haven't eaten it, but looking at this look, it must be a bear's paw, or let's taste it and see what this bear's paw tastes like." I've eaten enough seafood, but this mountain delicacy is really uncommon. ”
"If it's really a bear's paw, 300,000 Hong Kong dollars is not expensive." Hearing Li Mingbao's explanation, Li Mingyao nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Zhang Lao, who was talking to Li Mingbao's father Li Guangxin, suddenly said: "This bear's paw is a bear's paw, or the one with more meat, but such a dish can't be so expensive as 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, right?" If this thing is so valuable, we can't afford it. ”
The voice of eating and talking at the state banquet could not have been too loud, so Li Mingbao and the two of them could also hear what Zhang Lao said, before Li Mingbao said that this bear paw was worth 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, and Zhang Lao could also be Li Mingbao is talking nonsense, but he didn't expect Li Mingyao to agree later, Zhang Lao realized that Li Mingbao was really not joking, so he spoke.
To say that this thing is really not an unusual thing in Zhang Lao's eyes, there were many blind bears and tigers in the forest before. Zhang Lao didn't eat bear's paw once or twice, that is, he has been old in recent years, and he can't eat this kind of high-cholesterol thing, if he used to, he could eat as much as he wanted.
But such a common thing in his eyes, Li Mingbao said that it could be sold for 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, and Zhang Lao really couldn't be calm anymore. Now how difficult it is for the country to attract foreign investment, everyone who sits in his seat knows it. But just like this, the ordinary things for him are so valuable in Li Mingbao's eyes, I knew this, wouldn't it be better to sell these things, but after thinking about it, it's not that I haven't sold such things before, but the price of selling them is actually not high, and the bear can't be raised, the cost is too high, the quantity is small, and it can't be sold at any price. So there aren't many people who have these ideas, but if a bear's paw can be sold for 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, such a thing may be really funny.
Li Mingbao, who was still preparing to put down the chopsticks on the side, heard Zhang Lao's question, so he reluctantly put down the chopsticks and said: "It is indeed not rare in China, but in other places, this thing is quite rare, even if it is me, I have never eaten this thing in Hong Kong, anyway, no matter what others think, this bear paw is worth this price in my place."
In fact, many common things in the mainland are not cheap abroad. Just eating this piece can sell for a lot of money. It's just that these things are too rare to form a market scale, so even if the price is high, the total price sold is not much, so no one pays attention to it, but if it can form a market scale, even if it is a daily vegetable, it can make a lot of money. I remember that the vegetables exported from the mainland to Japan were selling quite well. ”
Hearing Li Mingbao's explanation, Zhang Lao immediately understood that Li Mingbao was willing to give such a high price to the bear's paw, but it did not mean that other people would also give such a high price, and it was actually quite difficult to make up his mind on this.
Later, when I heard Li Mingbao say that the vegetables from the mainland are selling very well in Japan, Zhang Lao didn't pay much attention to it. One is that he is not the person in charge of this part, plus the Japanese buy things in China, and they don't even give the price of cabbage, even if the Japanese make more, it will not be of much benefit to Huaxia, at most it is just one more way to pay.
So after understanding these things, Zhang Lao said: "In this way, since you like to eat bear's paws, then eat more, during this time in China, as long as you need it, just say hello." This bear's paw is not as rare as you think, let alone 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, even if it is 1,000 yuan, it is not worth it. ”
After saying this, Zhang Lao went back to talk to Li Guangxin, after all, the national conditions of China, many times they talk about things at the wine table. Even if this is a state banquet, it is normal for Zhang Lao and Li Guangxin to talk about some serious things.
After putting the bear paw in his mouth, Li Mingbao understood why the bear paw became a precious variety among the mountain treasures, and if he wanted to eat such a dish in the future, it was still the one with more meat, the price of the materials alone was more than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, and if the chef's skills were added, it was not uncommon for such a dish to cost millions.
The word fat but not greasy can definitely be described on the bear's paw, especially the chef of the state banquet is quite skilled, the bones on the bear's paw are not left, and the remaining meat is also fragrant, salty and sweet, with a hint of chewiness, the taste is really delicious. And because this bear's paw is made of the kind of black bear in the big forest, not the kind that is bred in captivity, it is full of game, and even Li Mingbao thinks that he has set the price a little lower, let alone 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, even if it is 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, he doesn't mind at all if he can eat this dish.
After that, Li Mingbao tasted some other dishes, and when it was time for the banquet, Li Mingbao felt that he was able to eat. I didn't even drink a few glasses of Moutai. But Li Mingbao still thinks it's worth it, after all, something like Moutai, even if it is used at the state banquet, if you want to get it, it will cost you a little money at most, and at the current price of Moutai, he won't feel much. But this table of dishes, even if Li Mingbao is rich now, he can't enjoy it.
After all, today is a welcome banquet, and the level is high, so some of the skills that are not often done by the chefs of the state banquet on weekdays can be eaten. But after today, the standard will definitely drop a little, although the general dishes can still be eaten, but some of the special dishes of the state banquet, Li Mingbao doesn't have to think about it, after all, with his current identity as an investor, it is difficult to eat a certain level of dishes, so he can eat satisfactorily on the table to be worthy of these dishes.
But it's a pity that although Li Mingbao's stomach is very edible because of martial arts training, it is still far from the current state banquet dishes full of materials, Li Mingbao's stomach alone has not even reached one-twentieth of the amount, and the rest of the dishes almost made Li Mingbao have the urge to pack.
Fortunately, Li Mingbao also knows his current status, and if he really does such a humiliating thing, it will be a big joke, so he can only endure such an impulse. Anyway, after eating this meal, Li Mingbao really got a little disgusted with the food in Hong Kong.
Whether it is Li Mingbao himself or the taste of the big guy, it is actually on the heavy side, especially the big guy is a person from the two lakes in the south, and he can eat spicy the most. Although Li Mingbao has not really eaten it himself, the spicy taste is quite profound in Li Mingbao's mind, and it is completely different from the dishes in Hong Kong.
And today's state banquet is another taste, traditional northern cuisine, plus some local dishes, Li Mingbao is full of good feelings about domestic dishes. Thinking about the light taste that has been eaten for more than ten years, it is really a sad life. Li Mingbao planned to wait until the end of this visit, whether he would have to dig up a few good cooks on the mainland side and go back to serve his own family food, which was absolutely refreshing.
Compared with Li Mingbao's leisureliness, he can still eat and drink, Li Guangxin and Li Mingyao are more drunk than eaten at the banquet. Although everyone present understood that the Li family was really in power, and the richest person was actually Li Mingbao, the youngest young man who never stopped chopsticks from the table.
But the problem is that among the people who came to the Li family this time, whether it is Li Guangxin or Li Mingyao, their status in the Li family is higher than that of Li Mingbao, one is Li Mingbao's father, and the other is Li Mingbao's eldest brother, and their identities determine that they get more greetings at the table than Li Mingbao.
Besides, as the youngest person at the table, he is at least thirty years younger than the youngest of the three staff members who received Li Mingbao in China.
At such an age, he is about the same as Li Guangxin. If he is too enthusiastic about Li Mingbao, that person really can't pull his face. In those years, there were no officials who dragged investors to become grandchildren regardless of their age, and they are still very reserved.
For young people like Li Mingbao, they really have no experience in dealing with them, you must know that the investors who talked to them before, no matter how young they are, are more or less the same generation as them, and it is not too difficult to pull them over to drink and chat or something. But at Li Mingbao's age, it is really difficult for them to do, no one can pull their faces to call a young man who is about the same age as his son a brother, even if he knows that this young man has a lot of money and panics...
