As soon as the morning sun showed a little light, the huge Fugui Restaurant started to get busy up and down.
The chefs wearing white hats began to prepare the ingredients for today's lunch, while the waiters cleaned the entire restaurant again, mopping the floor and even the handrails of the stairs! The tabletops were wiped clean, and the light was discernible!
As the boss of the restaurant, Fatty Bai got up early in the morning and started offering incense to Brother Guan.
Worshiping Guan Gong has become increasingly popular in this era, especially after Lei Luo in Hong Kong forced ghosts to worship Guan Gong, Guan Er's name became even more famous.
Guan Gong is divided into civil and military Guan Gong. Wen Guan Gong is also called Guan Gong, the God of Wealth.
Fatty Bai worships Guan Gong, the God of Wealth.
Before Fatty Bai fell asleep last night, he received the news that Charlie Chen was going to hold a grand banquet at Dafugui at noon today. He asked Fatty Bai to prepare and arrange the most expensive and high-end banquet.
It is reported that the famous star Miss Palan will come here as a guest today, and the famous Miss Xie Jiasan will also come here!
If either of these two comes to Dafugui Restaurant, it will make the restaurant shine, and there will be endless topics to talk about. Now that both of them are here, it will not explode?!
This is definitely a promotional opportunity for the restaurant!
How could Fatty Bai let it go?!
So Bai Fatty came to the restaurant early in the morning to prepare, and asked the chefs in the kitchen and the waiters in the lobby to take action. They must take care of the entire restaurant meticulously to welcome the arrival of Miss Xie San and the big star Palan!
"Perhaps there will be a lot of media crowded at the door tomorrow. I'll give you a few red envelopes then. My restaurant is not developed yet?" Fatty Bai felt happy thinking about this.
This period of time has been really smooth, and it is simply a stroke of good luck.
First, the restaurant wanted to open a chain, and then Ritchie Boat Company wanted to sign a long-term contract with the restaurant, and then came this one, which is so good!
Fatty Bai lit the incense, bowed to Emperor Guan, the God of Wealth, put in the incense, clasped his hands together and felt excited. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the second brother Guan, but suddenly found that the emperor looked familiar: "Why does he look so like that person?"
Mr. Shi?"
If you think about it carefully, Shi Zhijian is really his noble man!
Ever since he met Shi Zhijian, his life seemed to be in trouble!
"Illusion! It must be an illusion!" Fatty Bai shook his head and smiled. In fact, he knew very clearly in his heart, "In these matters, instead of worshiping Guan Gong, it is better to worship Shi Zhijian!"
…
It's approaching noon.
The entire Dafugui Restaurant was extremely lively.
Everyone from the Jin Baihan Song and Dance Hall was present, and the entire restaurant hall was filled with people.
Everyone chatted happily, talking about the amazing scene in the ballroom last night.
"The scene was so grand!"
"Yes, this is the first time I've met someone in a dance hall after working in a dance club for so long!"
The two waiters were talking.
"I heard that there will be a lucky draw at the celebration party today!"
"Of course, the dance hall made so much money last night!"
Two drink promotions were said.
As a receptionist at Dafugui Restaurant, I have been very busy today, and I have not been idle since morning.
First, I cleaned up with the waiter, and then started to stand at the door to perform reception tasks, without even eating a few bites of breakfast.
Looking at the ballroom staff who came one after another to attend the celebration banquet, the restaurant receptionist could not help but mutter in his heart. We are the same people but different fates, we are all waiters, and we are both in the service industry. Today, I am still standing here to welcome guests, but they are here.
Have a meal.
More and more customers came, and her mouth was dry. She didn't know how much water she secretly drank, but her throat was still smoking.
"Hello sir, welcome!"
"Hello, Miss, welcome!"
After a series of service procedures, the female receptionist's legs were a little sore. Just as she was leaning on the large vase in front of the door, lowering her head and trying to rub her legs, the sound of a car sounded outside.
A trendy red Ferrari parked at the door of the restaurant. The female greeter stood on tiptoes and stretched her neck to look——
I don't know who exclaimed: "Big star Palan is here!"
Suddenly, the whole restaurant exploded!
"Paran is here?"
"Oh my god, the big star is here!"
Everyone didn't care much and rushed towards the door.
At the same time, the media reporters who came after hearing the news also rushed forward, hoping to seize the opportunity to get a close-up.
But he saw the door of the red Ferrari opened, and Paran got out of the car under the protection of his bodyguards, looking very elegant and full of jewels!
"Paran, I love you!"
"Paran, I love you so much!"
Fans and moviegoers cheered wildly.
Paran stepped on crystal high heels, looking slender and tall, and wore a women's hat with feathers on it, waving to the shouts.
Needless to say, her move made the scene even more explosive!
"Paran! I saw Paran!"
"Palan is waving to me! Woohoo! I'm so touched!"
The scene was in chaos, as everyone was attracted by the beauty and celebrity temperament of the star Paran.
At this moment, an inconspicuous Beetle Ford car drove slowly from not far away.
The car stopped and the door opened.
Dumb, who acted as the master, got out of the car first, followed closely by Miss Xie Bingqian.
She didn't bring any bodyguards, only Dui!
She didn't wear any jewelry, just a simple set of clothes. She didn't even have her hair styled, she just put it into a ponytail!
But the moment she got out of the car, all the stars converged on her!
Because no matter what era you are in, some people will bring their own aura when they appear!
Xie Bingqian is definitely the kind of woman whose temperament is most exposed. Once this temperament is kept introverted for a long time, it becomes a woman's unique aura.
Therefore, the moment Xie Bingqian got out of the car, she took away the light that belonged to the female star Palan and made everyone pay attention to her.
"She is - the third lady of the Xie family?!"
"The third lady is here!"
"Oh my god, the third lady is here!"
The media reporters who were originally surrounding the female star Palan also turned around and rushed towards Xie Bingqian with long guns and short cannons.
When the female star Palan saw this scene, she felt a faint sense of loss in her heart, and then she was extremely jealous!
But even so, she still clearly realized that she had to go forward to welcome Xie Bingqian, because the other party was the apple of the Xie family, and she was just a little star from a grassroots background!
At this moment, Xie Bingqian's steps were light, her neck was slender, and she was as proud as a snow-white swan.
"Ms. Xie, can I do an interview with you?"
"Miss Third, I admire you so much, can you come and visit me?"
Dumb stopped all the reporters and said, "Step aside and don't block our young lady's path!"
The media reporters spontaneously moved out of the way.
The surrounding audience looked at Xie Bingqian walking towards the restaurant with shame!
At this moment, Xie Bingqian looked down at everyone, shining brightly!
…
At this moment, seeing the third lady of the Xie family, Xie Bingqian, appear, the female star Palan immediately stepped forward to greet her with a smile on her face and said to Xie Bingqian: "Third lady, you are here!"
Xie Bingqian nodded towards her and looked at the crowd. At this time, Charlie Chen heard the news and came from inside with a large army.
"Third Miss, I'm sorry to see you here!" Charlie Chen clasped his fists and bowed, looking frightened.
Uncle Qi and others followed him and saluted Xie Bingqian together.
Xie Bingqian casually exchanged a few words with Charlie Chen, then looked at the people behind him and frowned when she saw that Shi Zhijian was not there.
Dumb had been staying with Third Miss for so long, and he knew Xie Bingqian’s thoughts best. He immediately scolded Charlie Chen and said, “Miss Third is willing to come here to give you face, but what about you, what do you mean by just casually coming out to greet her?”
"Uh, what do you mean just a few people showing up randomly? We are all high-level people in the dance hall!" Charlie Chen looked surprised.
"Where's that Shi Zhijian? Isn't he the general manager? Where are the others?" Dumb bossed him around.
"Uh, this -" Charlie Chen understood, "He had something to do and couldn't leave for the time being, so he couldn't come to greet the third lady. Please forgive me, third lady!"
Dumb wanted to reprimand, but Xie Bingqian said: "Shut up! It makes it seem like I am overly concerned! It doesn't matter if there is one less person and one more person!"
"Yes, Miss Third!" Ah-Dai hurriedly lowered his eyebrows.
Xie Bingqian glanced at Charlie Chen: “Okay, let’s go in!”
"Miss Third, please come this way!" Charlie Chen led the way, while Xie Bingqian and the female star Palan walked towards the restaurant laughing together.
At this time, the owner of the restaurant, Fatty Bai, stepped forward and said, "Miss Third, Miss Palan, according to Chen Sheng's wishes, we have prepared a private room on the second floor for you! Please-"
Xie Bingqian looked at the fat white man with a charming smile, and raised the corners of her slender eyes slightly.
Dumb, who fully understood the lady's thoughts, asked Fatty Bai, "Who are you again?"
Fatty Bai was stunned with a smile on his face. He had been in the catering industry for so long, but it turned out that they didn't know him at all.
So embarrassing.
But business people are thick-skinned.
"I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet! This Dafugui Restaurant is opened by me. I am the boss here and also the chef! If you two like any dishes, just tell me. Except for the Manchu-Han banquet, there is no such thing in the world.
I hate the cuisine that someone can’t handle!”
Xie Bingqian did not speak, but the female star Palan laughed: "When you said that, I remembered that once our movie was finished, you helped arrange the final banquet prepared. The craftsmanship was really good, and we all ate it too.
Very happy!”
Fatty Bai was overjoyed when he heard this: "That's everyone's love. It's an honor for me to be able to serve Miss Palan!"
Hearing this, Xie Bingqian said: "Since Miss Palan has said this, I want to taste your craftsmanship later."
"It's an honor! It's an honor!" Fatty Bai said four or five "It's an honor" in one breath. The fat on his face trembled with excitement, and he led Xie Bingqian and the two of them upstairs to the most luxurious private room.
The private room has been decorated, and there is a pot of blooming flowers on the dining table. The fragrance of the flowers is refreshing.
Xie Bingqian and Palan found a seat and sat down. Fatty Bai here asked if he wanted tea or something else.
In Fatty Bai's opinion, of course you have to drink tea when you come to his restaurant. After all, this is Chinese food.
But Dumb said: "Our lady doesn't like drinking tea. Do you have red wine here? The best kind——"
"Uh, red wine?" Fatty Bai was stunned for a moment. He did have red wine here, but it was all inferior wine. To be precise, it was sweet wine for ladies and children.
Many people here drink this kind of red wine as a drink, and the red color also brings good luck.
Seeing Fatty Bai's troubled face, Charlie Chen, who followed him up, told his seventh uncle: "Go and bring up the Lafite prepared in my car!"
"Yes, Chen Sheng!" Uncle Qi hurriedly went to get the wine.
Charlie Chen turned back and said to Xie Bingqian with a smile: "I know that the third lady likes to drink red wine the most, so I boldly brought over a bottle of red wine that I kept privately. I will invite the third lady and Miss Palan to taste it carefully later."
!”
Xie Bingqian smiled. She looked at Charlie Chen for the first time and finally understood why the man in front of her was valued by her father.
"Oh, really? Then I want to see what your red wine tastes like?!" His eyes were sharp.
Uncle Qi brought the red wine over and prepared a bottle opener, decanter, and red wine glass according to Xie Bingqian's preferences.
The person responsible for helping open the drinks was the handsome man at the ballroom bar. Faced with this bottle of red wine worth 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was said to be specially shipped from Chateau Lafite in France, the handsome man was under great pressure.
He didn't dare to use the fancy wine-opening technique to show off his skills as usual. Instead, he honestly opened the red wine and poured it into the decanter. Every movement seemed unpretentious.
Xie Bingqian and Palan both belong to the upper class, and their appreciation and knowledge of red wine are second-to-none.
When the red wine was appreciated by them, they already recognized that this bottle of red wine was indeed very expensive and that it was indeed Lafite produced by Chateau Lafite.
The point is, this bottle of wine is worth 20,000 Hong Kong dollars. For people like Xie Bingqian and Palan, it is not too expensive, but for ordinary people, it is a lot of people who have to save enough for two years of salary without eating or drinking!
Red wine is calculated based on age and taste. The better the wine, the longer it will take to sober up.
For example, the 82-year-old Lafite in the previous life needs to be sobered for 2 hours before drinking. The 140-year-old Spanish vine needs to be sobered for 7 hours. The Spanish Rioja needs to be sobered for 12 hours. The Italian Amarone needs to be sobered for 24 hours.
Although this bottle of Lafite collected by Charlie Chen is not a super good wine, it still needs to be sobered up for half an hour.
Half an hour-——
Uncle Qi, Li Shunfa, Manager Xiao and others stood aside respectfully.
As the leader, Charlie Chen waited until the red wine was almost sobered up. He took a deep breath, held the red wine in both hands, carefully approached Xie Bingqian, showed his brightest smile and said: "Miss Third, the wine is ready, let me pour you a glass."
how?"
Xie Bingqian glanced at him without saying a word.
Charlie Chen was holding red wine and was about to pour wine into the red wine glass. At this moment, his wrist was grabbed by someone. When he looked up, it was Dumb.
"Chen Sheng, I'm sorry! You are the person in charge of the ballroom, how can you do such a rough job? I remember correctly, didn't you hire a general manager? Ask him to come out and help our third lady pour the wine!"
"Ahem, are you talking about Ajian? As I said, he is busy with something. For the time being-"
Before Charlie Chen could finish what he said, Ah-Dai sneered: “Why, doesn’t he give you face?!”
