Chapter 1228: Unshakable Status
……
At the end of the Shen period, at the gate of Qinghe Garden, one after another luxury carriages flowed in, and the men who got off the carriage were men in exquisite costumes, the older ones had white goosebumps and crane hair, and the younger ones were also in their forties and fifties, and these people all stood in the courtyard after getting off the car, talking and discussing with each other, and looking at the direction of the gate of the garden from time to time.
These people are all business leaders from the counties of the Central Plains, the old man led by Fan Yan, the head of the Fan family, and the rest of the Shui family, Shui Hong, and several shareholders who followed the preparation of Huaxia Qianzhuang in Wancheng at the beginning, and there are also seven or eight middle-aged and old men with the same extraordinary bearing, all of whom are famous figures in the business circles of Daqin, and the business involves grain, cloth, steel, cement, porcelain, tea, wine, and other major fields, all of which are family leaders who control hundreds of millions of properties in the day.
At this time, they gathered here to participate in the banquet of the Marquis of Qinghe, and of course, more to visit this disciple of the Immortal Family, who is now the imperial master of the dynasty.
At the beginning of the unitary hour, after the director of Qinghe Garden, Huangfu Que arranged the banquet, he also came out with a group of stewards and maids to greet him, and Fan Yan and others exchanged greetings for a short time, with a neat sound of horses' hooves faintly came, and at the same time heard a sound of meeting the left minister and meeting the Qinghe Marquis on the bustling street outside, and soon saw a group of forbidden soldiers and guards holding Changge and carrying a long knife at his waist escorting a brand-new four-bridle carriage into Qinghe Park, so a group of people greeted him almost at the same time.
"Meet the Marquis of Qinghe!"
"Meet the Master!"
"Meet the left minister!"
In the greeting of a group of people, the car door was pushed open, and a handsome young man wearing a jade crown with a jade crown around his waist and leather boots in a dark brocade robe got out of the car.
"All the princes are exempt, this marquis is too late for his busy official business!" Chen Xu smiled and arched his hand, and then walked towards the hotel gate surrounded by the crowd.
Qinghe Garden has been built for seven years, it is Chen Xu's first arrival in Xianyang that year to prepare to renovate a private house covering an area of only 50 acres, at that time the renovation was only invested less than 200,000 yuan, although the pattern and layout in the original Xianyang people look indeed elegant and incomparably eye-catching, high-backed seats, tea rooms, mahjong, round tables, porcelain, glass wine glasses, green potted plants, screens, calligraphy and painting decoration, couplets, uniform uniforms, the names of different restaurants, etc., there are a variety of exquisite and delicious dishes and drinks, Even the menus and prices, etc., each of which reflects a completely different style, making Qinghe Hotel a unique luxury place in Xianyang and even the whole of Daqin.
However, in the past few years, Xianyang City and many counties and counties in the country have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain to open characteristic hotels in Qinghe Garden, many restaurants imitate in style, in the decoration and arrangement have already surpassed Qinghe Hotel more luxurious and exquisite, now Xianyang City alone has seven or eight large hotels far beyond Qinghe Garden, the layout is luxurious and elegant, and the price is cheap and close to the people, almost every day is also full of guests, it has become the main place for many princes and princes and wealthy classes to invite guests to eat.
But no matter how old and backward Qinghe Garden is now, it doesn't look classy, but in everyone's hearts, it is still the leader of Daqin's hotel industry, and no one can shake the top spot.
Because this is the property of the Marquis of Qinghe.
This is the ancestor of all new commercial hotels and theaters in Daqin.
This is where all the delicious dishes come from.
If it is a banquet for distinguished guests, no matter who it is, the first choice in my heart is to come to Qinghe Garden, and the person being invited to the banquet will also feel the most sincere feelings of the host.
The price is not important, the atmosphere is not important, the decoration is not important, the important thing is this place, this is called Qinghe Garden, there are immortal disciples behind it, and there is no semicolon in the whole world.
"Kilometers of noodles, please!" Under the guidance of Huang Fuque, Chen Xu accompanied Fan Yan and others to the door of the Rising Sun Dongsheng Pavilion.
"Many years have passed in a flash, when Hou Ye and Li Si gambled on Dongfang Dao, when they convened business colleagues to raise funds in Qinghe Park, Lao Yu accompanied Hou Ye to have a banquet here......
Looking at the room where the decoration is old, but the style layout has hardly changed at all, Fan Yan sighed with emotion.
"What Fan Gong said is that time is like an arrow, but everything here is the same, as if it was still yesterday, and now Daqin is full of luxury restaurants, only here makes me feel natural and harmonious, not comparable to other places......"
"Exactly, everything is the same as before, and it is ...... memorable"
Sitting around the round table, a group of merchants who had been there began to admire with emotion, and some newcomers looked left and right to see this place with old decoration and decoration that can be called a turtle but was regarded as the ultimate luxury place in heaven and earth.
The decoration of the whole room may be less than 5,000 dollars.
But no one dared to have any underestimation or even a slight disdain or disrespect.
Because at this time, a young man in a brocade robe was sitting in the south facing north with a smile on his face, and he was talking and laughing with Fan Yanshui and others.
In the midst of everyone's conversation and laughter, Huangfu Que also arranged for the kitchen and maids to deliver the delicious dishes that had been prepared like running water, and soon the whole room was filled with a strong aroma of wine and food.
In a moment, the wine and food were all ready, and under Chen Xu's signal, Huang Fuque withdrew from the room with the kitchen worker and closed the door, and the small courtyard was guarded by the forbidden army and guards outside the door, and only a few maids left in the room began to pour wine for everyone.
Soon, more than ten glasses of red and clear Qinghe wine were poured, and the light of extreme temptation shimmered under the reflection of the sunset through the window, the maid stepped back and stood up, and Chen Xu stood up and raised his glass.
"It's a guest from afar, today this marquis invites you to a banquet, don't have any constraints, the wine is enough, the food is full, come, you raise a glass and drink together!"
"I'm waiting to thank Lord Hou for your hospitality, Lord Hou, please!"
Fan Yan, Shuihong and the others all hurriedly stood up together, and their hands were together.
"Drink together, please~"
Chen Xu raised his head to a glass of red wine and swallowed it, and after an instant warm and sweet, his body and mind instantly relaxed.
And after this glass of wine, the atmosphere on the wine table was much more relaxed, and everyone began to raise their chopsticks to taste the dishes on the table under Chen Xu's greeting.
"It's delicious, it's still the first time I tasted it that year, and after many years, people will never forget it......," Fan Yan picked up a chopstick and tasted the hot eel, and was full of praise.
"What Fan Gong said is good, or the dishes here are the most authentic and delicious, this crispy roast duck has tasted countless kinds all over the east, west, north and south, only today this taste is the most authentic, crispy and with a fragrance of pear blossoms, it is really a rare taste in the world......" Another shareholder of Huaxia Qian Zhuang kept admiring while gnawing on the duck legs.
"Come, I'll wait for a cup of Taishi together, thank you for your hospitality!" A pot-bellied merchant stood up and raised his glass.
"This is a great goodness, we will respect the master!" After a moment of eating and drinking, a group of businessmen stood up together again to toast Chen Xu with a glass of wine, after the wine was all seated, the atmosphere of the banquet became more relaxed, and the topics of conversation gradually began to spread from the state of sycophancy.
The so-called merchants sit on Jia, businessmen basically drive goods around to do business and make a living, while Jia people generally open shops to do business, but at present, these two originally different occupations and groups of people are not so clear now.
Merchants are mixed up, because today's business has begun to show the development of a family or even a joint-stock group from the scale of a single family, from production to supply and transportation to terminal sales, it has formed a very mature system, which has also greatly strengthened the exchanges and exchanges between businessmen from all over the country. While eating and drinking, I listened to these businessmen talk about new anecdotes and business news from all over Daqin, and occasionally Chen Xu would ask a few words carefully when he was interested.
After all, in this era, the transportation is inconvenient, and the exchange of information is very difficult, even if there is Xianyang Metropolis Daily, a news media that covers almost the entire Daqin, it is impossible for reporters from all over the world to inquire about everything, and because there are too many manuscripts, many less important information cannot be typeset and published at all, and most of them are abandoned and thrown in the warehouse, so many news naturally cannot be known by the world.
