Chapter 6: Anecdotes about Private Life
Kate Blue Hotel, which has been open for nearly 300 years. When the Free City moved to the seaside as a whole 270 years ago, Kate, who was the head of a very inconspicuous small business family in the Neville Federation at that time, was very keen to smell the business opportunity, and after quelling the opposition within the family, the Blue family moved eastward and joined the Free City from the Neville Federation. After joining, when the economy of the Free City was still in a depression, Kate mobilized the available assets of the whole family and invested in the commercial construction of the Free City, opening more than 30 stores of different sizes in a row, and at the most exaggerated time, half of the commercial facilities in the new city belonged to the Blue family.
Although Kate's behavior is to see the future business opportunities of the Free City and the preferential policies when attracting investment, but from the practical effect, her behavior not only allowed the Free City to survive the most depressed period, but also set a good help for other investors, since the Blue family, more and more business investors have set their eyes on the Free City, so that the city's commercial development is gradually on the right track, and continues to prosper for nearly three hundred years.
Correspondingly, the Free City has also paid off well for the Blue family, who have gained the eternal friendship of the city, and no matter how many years have passed, the Blue family has enjoyed the most favorable treatment in business, and as long as it does not violate the law, the family has no obstacle in the business field. Whether it is the official of the free city, or there are no idiots with bad brains within the Blue family, no one will break this win-win situation lightly, so the successive city lords and the successive heads of the Blue family have maintained quite good personal relationships, and there are even legends that Kate Blue was never married at the beginning, and the city lords of that generation who moved to the city have maintained a fairly close relationship with Kate after being widowed in middle age, and even the cemeteries of the two are very close, as if they are neighbors.
"Oh? "In the tenth box of the Kate Blue Hotel. While waiting for the waiter, Lina's eyes flashed with curiosity, and she tugged at Pannis's sleeve and asked, "Shouldn't Kate Blue, as the head of the family, be buried in the family cemetery? ”
"Don't forget, in the beginning they were just a small family, with only a dozen family members, and there were no conditions for building a large-scale family cemetery. "And they're a family that moved here, so they can't carry the cemetery on their backs." So at that time they didn't have a family cemetery in the orthodox sense. Also, three months after the death of the then lord of the city, Kate also died. She was not yet 60 years old at the time, and it is said that the cause of death was probably due to excessive grief. The exact news from within the Blue family, the cemetery was personally designated by her a month before her death, although she casually pulled out a reason, saying that although she made the family develop by leaps and bounds, but after all, all the people who harmed left the property left by their ancestors had no face to face the questions of their ancestors, so self-punishment Even if there is a family cemetery in the future, they can't be buried, but in fact, everyone knows very well what is going on. Those peers and juniors are embarrassed to poke her. ”
"Haha, that's not straightforward. Lina covered her mouth and snickered. After all, the four girls are all women, with a woman's unique nature, and are very interested in this kind of anecdote about the private lives of celebrities. Although only Lina was asking, the others pretended not to care on the surface, but in fact they were all pricking up their ears and eavesdropping, even Vivian. It seems that she has gained something special from sorting out her bottom of the sea, and it can be seen from the frequency of her mistakes and alterations, that her mind is also on eavesdropping.
"You said in the restaurant that someone else owned. Does it really matter?". Catherine squinted at Pannis and asked, "Also, how did you know about such a secret thing?"
"The head of their family personally sued me. Pannis said: "We used to meet when we went to banquets together, and we both thought each other was a very good person, so we made a friend, and every time we came to Liberty City, we would see him." ”
"Oh, do you know their master?" Catherine immediately became excited: "Can there be a discount when charging?"
"Unfortunately, not anymore. Pannis's face suddenly became a little stunned, sighed softly, shook his head, and said, "He has passed away a long time ago, and there is no chance to have a discount anymore." ”
Catherine was stunned, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything, she could only reach out and pat Pannis's arm.
"Haha, lie to you. Pannis's gloomy expression suddenly disappeared, and he grinned and gave Catherine a thumbs up: "Those are just rumors I heard, I don't know the head of the Blue family at all, whatever, pretend to be very similar." ”
"Hehe, hehe, hehe, hehe, he. Catherine paused, hung her head and let out a series of horrible laughter, gritted her teeth and said, "Lina, help me see if the door of the box is closed, let's go up together." ”
"Calm, calm. Pannis covered his head with a napkin and screamed, "I have other secrets, if you beat me to death, no one will tell you again, so you must be calm." ”
"Don't worry, we won't kill you. Lina smirked at her fist and said gloomily, "I'll use the healing magic to pull you back and fight you again when you're dying." ”
"Are you really Denya's priest?". Pannis looked at Lina in horror and said, "You look like this, where do you have a little bit of the characteristics of a believer in the God of Love? ”
"More than half a year ago, a little girl in white clothes taught me that the god of love, who is in charge of part of the divine power of life, and also the divine right of death, is one of the most gods with two gods. Lina bared her white teeth and made a menacing expression, "So I'm now the priest of Denia, the god of eternal sleep, so you don't have to struggle." ”
Several people were messing around in the box, the door of the box was suddenly knocked softly, Pannis ran over and opened the door like a run, outside the door, the short-haired female waiter was wearing a men's waiter suit, dressed sassy and capable, and showed a skilled courtesy smile to Pannis: "Hello, I am Edith, the waiter in charge of Box 10 today, can I enter the box now to order for the guests?"
Kate Blue Hotel is one of the mid-range and high-end hotels in the bustling free city, and it is the first property that Kate invested in after moving her family to the free city, which has deep commemorative significance for the Bate family. Therefore, for more than 200 years, the successive heads of the family have tried their best to keep the original style and characteristics of the Kate Blue Hotel to express their respect for the ancestors, and all the service staff in the hotel are all men's beauties are retained the characteristics of the year, and it is also one of the most attractive selling points of this hotel.
"Come in, come in. As if he had seen a savior, Pannis's enthusiasm startled the waitress, and she almost shouted for help, but fortunately she saw the other four girls in the box in time, so she didn't turn around and run away. Pannis deliberately explained in embarrassment: "Come on in, we are already starving to death, and we are looking forward to you." ”
The waitress who called herself Edith secretly glanced at Pannis strangely in her heart, did not say anything more out of politeness, looked in the box, walked to Catherine's side naturally, respectfully half-bent down to keep her eyes as level as possible with Catherine, and asked in a soft voice: "This is the menu of this store, a few ladies and this husband can take a look first, if you are interested in which ones, you can tell me directly." You can just be patient, I'll be here all the time. ”
Catherine took the menu and began to look through it, and Pannis took the opportunity to walk slowly around the room with his hands behind his back, patiently admiring some of the oil paintings hanging on the walls. This hotel is one of the most distinctive hotels in the Free City because it maintains a quaint style both in terms of appearance and interior furnishings.
In terms of appearance, this hotel has a spire structure that was popular 300 years ago, all the buildings are pure wood, whether it is the exterior or the inner wall, whether it is the roof or the floor, it is made of wood directly, and it has not been painted in any way, so that the whole building maintains a beautiful wooden texture, sitting in it as if you are in the woods. In the restaurant, all the tables and chairs are also carved directly from solid wood, and then the surface of the tables and chairs is covered with a layer of refined transparent resin, creating an effect similar to amber, which looks as simple and elegant as the walls.
The same is true in the box, and on the inner wall of the box, there are many oil paintings hanging according to the popular habits of the time. Although these oil paintings were highly imitated works at the beginning, they were not worth much, but after nearly three hundred years of precipitation, these highly imitated paintings have also become antiques.
"Edith, do you have any recommendations?". Catherine looked through the menu from beginning to end, smiled and asked, "I've not been here many times, and I don't know what delicious food you guys have." ”
"That's right. Edith tilted her head and thought for a while and said, "If you want me to recommend it, I will ask you to try our new dishes, the raw materials are all kinds of fresh seafood that can be salvaged for no more than three hours, after all, the free city is close to the sea, and the seafood here is also very famous." ”
"Absolutely not. The four girls shook their heads together: "Resolutely don't want seafood, we have reached the point where we are disgusted when we see seafood." ”
"Why don't you try some of our famous dishes here?" Before Edith could finish speaking, there was another knock on the door of the box, and a voice passed through the door directly into the box: "Are a few of Nelly's adventurers here? I have urgent news to talk to you about." (To be continued......)
