Chapter 124: Wang Baohe Hotel
The next step is billing, payment, pickup, packing, and bagging.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the formalities for the purchase of jewelry were completed.
The mayor's wife and Hao Desheng followed behind Mr. Chen, and Mr. Chen's "I'm sorry, borrow light, borrow light!" all the way! Through the bustling flow of people, it was finally difficult to squeeze out of the old city god temple.
After leaving the Old Town God's Temple Market, although the flow of people is not as crowded as in the market, there is an endless stream of tourists and shoppers from all over the world, and you still keep touching me and I squeezing you.
The mayor's wife, Hao Desheng, Mr. Chen and other three people finally broke free from the flow of people, walked slowly to the parking lot, and then boarded the "Land Rover" off-road vehicle.
After getting into the car, Hao Desheng opened his mouth and asked Mr. Chen:
"Mr. Chen, you choose a place, where are we going to have lunch today?"
"Oh, Director Hao, I got in touch yesterday, and at noon today, we went to the 'Wang Baohe Hotel' on the side of Nanjing Road for dinner. You and your sister-in-law are so happy, now is the season of chrysanthemum crab fat, today, we go to the 'Wang Baohe Restaurant' to eat authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs! ”
Without thinking, Mr. Chen immediately replied to Hao Desheng.
"Eat hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake? Hmm, that's great! Xiao Jiang, directly open the 'Wang Baohe Hotel', do you know the road? ”
Hao Desheng immediately instructed the driver Xiao Jiang.
The driver, Xiao Jiang, immediately took out the "Huawei" brand smartphone, turned on the navigation function, entered the destination, and quickly found the navigation destination - "Wang Baohe Hotel".
Then, Xiao Jiang said to Hao Desheng:
"Director Hao, it's no problem to go to 'Wang Baohe Hotel', I've already guided the voyage."
With that, Xiao Jiang immediately started the car.
"Mr. Chen, I'll treat you at noon today, and you're not allowed to grab orders with me later!"
After the car started, in order to express his gratitude, Hao Desheng preemptively said the words in front.
"Oh, Director Hao, you and Mrs. Wang rushed all the way to SH, but you can't ask for it, how can you pay for it? No, at noon today, I must be the east! ”
Mr. Chen did not agree to Hao Desheng's request at all, and immediately rushed to be the east.
"Ahem, no, no, no! Today has taken up your precious weekend time, and you have already exhausted it! Moreover, you also helped us to discount so many banknotes. At noon today, you can do it, but it must be me who pays! ”
Hao Desheng continued to insist on his opinion.
"Yes, Mr. Chen, at noon today, you have to let us express our gratitude!"
The mayor's wife heard that Hao Desheng and Mr. Chen were rushing to be the host, so she also helped beside her.
"Oh, no, it really doesn't work! Mrs. Wang, it is rare for you and Director Hao to come to SH, today at noon, you have to give me a chance to serve no matter what! Next month, I'm going on a business trip to your provincial capital! When the time comes, you will be the east, okay? ”
Mr. Chan continued to stand his ground.
Several people politely competed for a while in the off-road vehicle, but Hao Desheng no longer competed with Mr. Chen because he already had an idea in his heart.
Next, Hao Desheng changed the topic and chatted with Mr. Chen about the preparation and opening up of the SH Pilot Free Trade Zone.
After a while, the "Land Rover" off-road vehicle has come to the door of the "Wang Baohe Hotel".
After the mayor's wife, Hao Desheng and Mr. Chen got out of the car, the driver Xiao Jiang went to find the parking lot.
Mr. Chen asked Hao Desheng to tell Xiao Jiang that after the car was parked, he went directly to the fifth floor of the restaurant department of the hotel, and booked a private room 505 for lunch.
After explaining, Mr. Chen walked in front first, led the mayor's wife and Hao Desheng into the lobby of Wang Baohe Hotel, and then took the elevator to the fifth floor.
After getting out of the elevator, I was greeted by a tall and slender welcome lady and entered the 505 private room booked by Mr. Chen.
This private room doesn't look very large, but it is very well furnished and gives it a beautiful and cozy feeling.
The four walls of the private room are one-color beige walls;
When you enter the door, there is a row of antique lattice screens made of logs.
On the top of the private room, the ceiling around it is inlaid with four small round lanterns.
In the center of the ceiling, there is a glass crystal beaded curtain three-layer chandelier.
Under the chandelier, there is a large round table with eight seats.
The tablecloth on the round table is also beige, which is consistent with the color of the wall;
In the center of the round table, a bouquet of small red and yellow chrysanthemums in full bloom is placed.
Around the chrysanthemum, eight sets of cutlery and a delicate book-sized plastic plaque are neatly arranged.
On the plastic plaque, the menu recommended by the restaurant is beautifully printed.
Because it coincides with the golden autumn season, it is a good time for chrysanthemum crab fat.
Therefore, next to the eight sets of utensils around the round table, there are eight sets of special tools for eating hairy crabs - "eight crab pieces".
After Hao Desheng, the mayor's wife and Mr. Chen entered the private room, Hao Desheng politely invited Mr. Chen to take a seat;
Mr. Chen hurriedly waved his hand and said to Hao Desheng humbly:
"Don't dare, don't dare, today, no matter what, you should invite Mrs. Wang to sit on the seat! Madame Wang, please, please take a seat. ”
Mr. Chen gestured as he spoke, and sincerely invited the mayor's wife to sit in the guest of honor seat facing the door of the private room.
"Oh, I'm a lesbian, what are you going to sit on? Xiao Hao, let's invite Mr. Chen to take a seat. ”
When the mayor's wife saw that Mr. Chen was so elevated, she also politely excused herself.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law, since Mr. Chen is so polite, you might as well be respectful!"
In fact, Hao Desheng originally intended to invite the mayor's wife to sit at the table, but when he came to SH's territory, it was inconvenient for him to be abrupt, so he deliberately made a polite gesture with Mr. Chen.
Now, since Mr. Chen took the initiative to invite the mayor's wife to sit down, Hao Desheng also pushed the boat and happily invited the mayor's wife to the guest of honor.
After the three of them sat down, the waitress in charge of the private room service came to the guests one by one.
The waitress is about 1.6 meters tall, wearing a traditional cheongsam with red intarsia and a very graceful posture.
The waitress came to the front and back of the table and asked Mr. Chen in a sweet voice:
"Excuse me, sir, how many of you distinguished guests? Need some tea? ”
"Oh, there are four of us. Mrs. Wang, Director Hao, look, what kind of tea do you have? ”
After Mr. Chen informed the waiter of the number of people, he asked the mayor's wife and Hao Desheng for tea.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law, do you think ——, is it a pot of chrysanthemum tea, or a West Lake Longjing?"
Hao Desheng looked at the mayor's wife respectfully.
"Well, let's take chrysanthemum tea."
The mayor's wife smiled and said her choice.
"Okay, chrysanthemum tea, please wait. Come, can you please see the recipe? ”
The waitress put an exquisite recipe on the table, and then, with a well-trained step, went to the wine counter next to the door of the private room to make tea.
"Mrs. Wang, Director Hao, come, please order."
Mr. Chan delivered exquisite recipes to the guests.
"Sister-in-law, look, what dishes are we ordering?"
Hao Desheng respectfully presented the recipe to the mayor's wife.
"Xiao Hao, I won't watch it. You have carte blanche to represent! ”
The mayor's wife smiled and pushed the recipe back to Hao Desheng.
"Okay, then I'll do it for you."
Hao Desheng knew that no matter where she dined, the mayor's wife never ordered. The reason why I asked the mayor's wife just now was mainly to show respect.
Hao Desheng looked at the recipe for a while, and asked the mayor's wife and Mr. Chen about the dishes he ordered, while asking for their opinions.
After a while, the waitress returned to the table with light steps and served the three guests a cup of tea steaming hot and scented with chrysanthemums.
Then, the waitress took out the wireless ordering machine for ordering and asked in a sweet voice:
"Excuse me, can I order?"
"Well, I'll do some."
Hao Desheng nodded at the waiter and began to report the name of the dish:
Four steamed hairy crabs, crab roe pomegranate chicken, crab bucket, crystal shrimp, steak, steamed rainbow sea bream, brown abalone, stir-fried orchid cabbage and crab meat and cabbage soup.
Three times five divided by two, Hao Desheng ordered eight dishes and one soup very quickly, all of which are standard Shanghai cuisine.
"May I ask Mrs. Sister-in-law, Mr. Chen, what kind of drinks shall we have?"
After ordering the food, Hao Desheng asked for the advice of the drink.
"Just drink the 'Wang Baohe' brand SH old bar? Eating crabs and drinking rice wine is the best delicious pairing, and it is extremely nutritious. ”
Mr. Chen put forward his own suggestion and introduced the reason for ordering rice wine to the mayor's wife and Hao Desheng.
"Okay, then come to two bottles of 'Wang Baohe' old bar, which will be ten years old. In addition, there are four more cans of 'Wang Laoji'. ”
Hao Desheng instructed the waitress waiting next to him.
"Okay, the drinks will be right away."
The waitress replied while sending the menu ordered by Hao Desheng to the kitchen;
Then, with great skill, she set up the dishes for the four tables;
After the table was set, the waitress went out lightly to get the drinks.
"Director Hao, do we still drink Wang Laoji?"
Mr. Chen just heard Hao Desheng order "Wang Laoji", and he felt a little strange, just because the waiter was present, he was not good at asking questions;
Now, taking advantage of the waiter's departure, he looked at Hao Desheng with some puzzlement.
However, before Hao Desheng could answer, Mr. Chen suddenly understood:
"Oh, got it, you ordered it for the driver, right?"
"Yes."
Hao Desheng smiled and nodded, then picked up the chrysanthemum tea in front of him, and said to Mrs. Wang and Mr. Chen:
"Come, Mrs. Sister-in-law, Mr. Chen, please have tea."
