Chapter 65 Lunch
Zi was running at an even speed on the road. Wu Kai looked at the car and turned out to be the suburbs and asked, "Secretary Zhu! Are you bringing me there?"
Secretary Zhu sat next to Wu Kai. Apart from talking about his registration today, he didn't talk about anything else. At this time, he heard Wu Kai's question and replied with a smile: "Brother Xiao Zhang! You will arrive soon in a dozen minutes. Although this place is a little far away, it is a good place and the most authentic place for our Cantonese cuisine. The Cantonese cuisine there combines the essence of several famous Cantonese cuisines in our city, such as the braised big skirt wings of the snake king, the roasted suckling pig in Wangji, the braised abalone slices in Nanyuan, the Dinghu Shangsu in Xiyuan, etc., where we can eat it, without having to travel all over the city to eat these things. When our great men came here, they also ate here and left the name of Yangcheng's masterpiece. Later, because of this title, it was renamed "Five Yangcheng's masterpiece".
Wu Kai couldn't help but nodded when he heard Secretary Zhu's introduction, but he didn't know that if he wanted to have dinner in this "Five Gangs City One-Good" restaurant built in the suburbs, he had to book in advance, and he also needed a VIP card to enter.
The car turned off the main road after about ten minutes and drove into a tree-lined path. When Geng Pingqiu's driver saw the car driving the path, he slowed down and asked Geng Pingqiu: "Secretary Geng! Are they going to "Five Yang City One Jue" and we followed?"
When Geng Pingqiu heard the "Five Gang City One Jue", he immediately ordered: "Xiao Yu! Let's follow in. But when we arrive at the door, we don't drive in. At that time, just look from a distance who invited Zhang Kai today, and then we will go back."
When the driver heard Geng Pingqiu's words, he immediately drove the car into the path to the restaurant "Five Yang City One Jue". Not long after, Xiao Yu saw the Audi in front of him stopping in front of the door of "Five Yang City One Jue", so he immediately stepped on the brakes, parked the car on the side of the road, and said to Geng Pingqiu: "Secretary Geng! They came down, and the one who invited Zhang Kai seemed to be Secretary Zhu of our Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Yes! That's right, it's him."
Geng Pingqiu looked at Secretary Zhu and Wu Kai and walked out of the car with a smile through the front windshield, and immediately ordered the driver: "Xiao Yu! Let's go back!" As he said that, he leaned on the car seat and closed his eyes and carefully studied how to get in touch with Wu Kai.
Secretary Zhu and Wu Kai got out of the car together, and said to Wu Kai as he walked: "Xiao Zhang! Although you have been to GD for a while, I promise you have never eaten authentic dishes. And after you have eaten this meal today, I promise that no matter where you eat Cantonese cuisine, you will definitely feel that those Cantonese dishes are not authentic." As he said that, he reached out to Wu Kai and made an invitation.
Wu Kai smiled, and Lang Sheng replied, "It seems that I have a good time today." As he said that, he walked into the "Five Yang City One Wonderful" restaurant with Secretary Zhu.
When the two of them just walked to the restaurant lobby, a pleasant voice like a silver bell reached their ears: "Secretary Zhu! You are a rare guest! I haven't seen you come to us for a long time. This morning, I heard the station say that you have made a seat here, so I'll wait for you here."
Upon hearing this, Wu Kai turned around and saw a girl who was about the same age as him, but extremely beautiful, walking towards Wu Kai and Secretary Zhu from the side of the hall with a smile on her face.
Secretary Zhu smiled naturally when he saw the girl. He replied, "I didn't expect that I had such a big face. I actually asked Boss Chen to wait for me here in person. Did you guess in advance that I would bring a handsome guy here today? That's why you made a special trip to wait for our handsome guys here?" Speaking of this, Secretary Zhu smiled and said, "Boss Chen! Let me introduce you to you. This is Assistant Zhang from YF City. He is also my little brother. This time he came to our Provincial Party School to study. So I, as an old man, specially brought him to you, Boss Chen! I am handsome, my little brother!" Speaking of this, Secretary Zhu is also for Wu Kai.
Accepted, "Xiao Zhang! This is the restaurant Chen Ying, the boss of our "Five Gang City", has been the third generation. Do you know why I said that she could eat authentic Cantonese dishes here? Because now, the bosses who open wines in various places in GZ go out from her. Because the dishes here are well cooked, but many people want to eat them, it is inconvenient for her to eat them. Therefore, her father asked her to open a few of her seniors outside to open their own shops, so the current big three-yuan braised skirt wings, snake king stewed all over the ground, Wangji's roasted suckling pig, Nanyuandi braised abalone slices, and Dinghu Shangsu in Xiyuan."
"Assistant Zhang! Don't listen to Secretary Zhu's swearing. That's so amazing. He's just making a living, and he can't be famous." Chen Ying said and stretched out his hand to Wu Kai.
Wu Kai smiled and stretched out his hand and gently held Chen Ying. After letting go, he smiled and said, "Ms. Chen! Since Secretary Zhu would recommend your restaurant like this, it means that it must have its own advantages, so don't underestimate yourself."
Chen Ying showed a shiny smile on his face when he heard Wu Kai's words. He took out a golden card and handed it to Wu Kai, and said with a smile: "Assistant Zhang! This is our VIP card. If you come here to spend in the future, just get this card."
Wu Kai didn't know the value of this card, but just took it as an ordinary VIP card and replied with a smile: "Thank you."
, If I come to your place for dinner in the future, you must give me a low salary, but the salary of us civil servants is not enough to make it to spend several times here."
The reason why Chen Ying gave Wu Kai this card was because she saw Secretary Zhu asking Wu Kai to get off the car upstairs. She had a talent for business since she was a child, and guessed from Secretary Zhu's inadvertent performance that Wu Kai must be a very identifiable person, so she came downstairs in person and received Wu Kai and Secretary Zhu. However, when she heard Wu Kai's words, she guessed that Wu Kai must not know the value of the card, but she didn't want to explain anything, because she believed that Secretary Zhu would naturally explain it to her. Thinking of this, she replied with a smile: "I didn't expect that Assistant Zhang, you are really humorous. It's more than a lot of money to talk about feelings! It's our honor if you can come here often. If you come here in the future, call me in advance, and I'll call you 0 at that time.
Wu Kai knew that Chen Yingdi's words were just business words for businessmen, so he didn't care too much. Besides, he didn't think he would come here again in the future, so he also smiled and said, "That's really great. If this happens, I will come to you every day to have a meal for you every day. I will eat you for the rest of my life. When Miss Chen sees me, she will curse in contempt; this person who eats a meal is here again!"
Although Wu Kai was just a joke at this time, neither he nor Chen Ying expected that this joke really became a reality. No one expected that the two people who were originally irrelevant would have connected the two from now on because of such a joke. "The Greatest Five Gangs City" also became the location where Wu Kai will receive his important guests in the future. As for Chen Ying, she herself could not have thought that her future would be closely linked to the man in front of her. She worked hard and gave everything she could for this man.
Chen Ying looked at the humorous Wu Kai and smiled and reached out to cover her mouth and said, "Assistant Zhang! You are the most interesting man I have ever seen in my life." At this point, Chen Ying smiled and said to the two at the same time: "Secretary Zhu! Assistant Zhang! Please come in there!"
Wu Kai and Secretary Zhu personally led them down to a private room near the lake. After both of them sat down, Chen Ying asked Secretary Zhu: "Secretary Zhu! What dishes are you serving for the two of you today?" As he said that, he took the menu from the waiter behind him and handed it to Wu Kai and Secretary Zhu.
Secretary Zhu did not flip through the menu. Instead, he smiled and said to Chen Ying: "Boss Chen! Xiao Zhang has just arrived at our GD not long ago, so you can arrange a few dishes for Xiao Zhang. What do you recommend today will be what we eat. What do you think?"
When Chen Ying heard Secretary Zhu's words, she smiled and took back the menu and replied in a sweet voice: "Okay! Then I'll look at the arrangement. If Assistant Zhang is not stolen at that time, you must tell me. In this way, if you come again, I will know how to arrange your dishes." At this point, Chen Ying said to the two: "Then you guys will sit for a while. I'll go and arrange it for you now." As she said that, she took the waiter out of the box.
Secretary Zhu watched Chen Ying leave the box and smiled and said to Wu Kai: "Xiao Zhang! You have to collect the card Chen Ying gave you just now. If you don't have VIP card, no matter how rich you are, you can't come in. To be honest, I still envy you. I didn't expect that Chen Ying would give you a gold card for the first time when you came to Chen Ying so generously, and she gave me a silver card like I have been here so many times."
Wu Kai didn't expect that a card that he didn't care about had such a meaning, so he asked, "Secretary Zhu! What's the difference between your silver card and a gold card?"
"The difference is so big. There are three types of cards here: gold card, silver card, and copper card. These three cards are first symbolic identity. Copper card is a general consumption card, and it is also a kind of proof of entry here for consumption. When you usually eat, you can only get a 95% discount when you eat. My name is a silver card! The entire gd will not exceed 100. Silver card can be 20% discount here, and you can overdraft the consumption of 20,000 yuan, but you must reserve it in advance every time you come to eat. It is said that your gold card is only 10, and you can spend 60,000 yuan here. In addition, you can overdraft the consumption of 10,000 yuan. The most important thing is that no matter when you come here, they must ensure that there is a private room for you to use, which means that she gives you this card is equivalent to giving you 100,000 yuan." Secretary Zhu explained to Wu Kai.
When Wu Kai heard Secretary Zhu's explanation, he realized that there were so many stories here. After understanding the mystery, he couldn't help but admire Chen Ying's methods. To put it bluntly, even if a few cards really make people overdraw, it was consumed by them. The overdrawn money is only the money they invested. In addition, if all the cards are overdrawn, it will only be a few million. But who would be willing to give these cards a little money without face? So this move made the restaurant's grade higher. After all, people's psychology is the same. She did this to make the guests think that they can come here to treat the guests to show respect. At the same time, those guests who were invited to come here to have a meal feel that they are valued by the other party and have an identity. The party who invites them to enjoy themselves is happy, and the party who eats comfortably, and the business will naturally become prosperous.
Not long after, Chen Ying personally took several waiters carrying dishes into the private room, and brought the dishes to the table and introduced with a smile: "Assistant Zhang! Cantonese cuisine
Based on folk delicacies, we continuously absorb the essence of various major cuisines in our country, learn from the strengths of Western recipes, and integrate them into one. We also have unique local dishes and charms. First of all, this fried chicken is the signature chicken of our GD dish. The skin is crispy and tender, and the meat is indispensable for birthday banquets. This roasted suckling pig is also one of the special dishes of our restaurant. This dish has a history of more than 2,000 years. Among the funeral objects produced in the tomb of the King of Nanyue, there are ovens and forks specially used as roasted suckling pigs. In the Qing Dynasty, the roasted suckling pigs in Cantonese cuisine were selected as one of the dishes of the "Manchu and Han banquet" and are famous at home and abroad. There is also this braised big skirt wing, which was originally developed by my father after being improved by the "Wing King" Wu Luan, and now it is also the signature dish of our restaurant..." Chen Ying put five dishes and one soup on the table, while carefully introducing the origin and allusions of these dishes to Wu Kai.
After all the dishes were introduced, Chen Ying smiled and said slowly, and then took the waiter out of the box.
After watching Chen Ying leave, Secretary Zhu picked up the Moutai wine on the table and moved the lid. He poured a glass for Wu Kai, then poured a glass for himself, then raised his glass and said to Wu Kai with a smile: "Xiao Zhang! Since it is noon now, I won't drink you, so we both drink this glass first. Then we will drink it next."
Wu Kai smiled and raised his glass and said with a smile: "Thank you Secretary Zhu for your hospitality. If you go to Beijing next time, I will take you to try the real Manchu and Han banquet." As he said that, he clinked the glass with Secretary Zhu. Then he drank the wine in the glass in one sip.
After Secretary Zhu drank the wine from his glass in one sip, he picked up the bottle again and poured a glass of each of them. He smiled and said, "Xiao Zhang! It is our fate to know you. You can drink this glass of wine and I will do it." As he said that, he drank all the wine in the glass."
When Wu Kai saw Secretary Zhu put the wine in, he raised his glass and smiled and said, "Secretary Zhu! It's noon now, and you still have to go to work in the afternoon, so I will accompany you to this glass of wine, but I hope we can drink less later. If you want to drink, then we will find some time to have a few more drinks with you at that time." Wu Kai said and then dried the wine in.
Secretary Zhu heard Wu Kai's words and smiled and filled the wine for Wu Kai and himself, saying, "Okay! Xiao Zhang! You're right! We'll have nothing to do when the other day is gone, and we'll drink it well, now..." He picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of roasted suckling pig for Wu Kai and said, "Let's eat food!" Chen Ying came in and toasted two glasses of wine, and then Wu Kai and Secretary Zhu ate and chatted about family matters.
The two of them ate until after one o'clock in the afternoon. Although they drank less, the bottle of Moutai on the table was drunk by both of them. Perhaps Wu Kai was already drunk. When he left the restaurant, he left Chen Ying with his mobile phone number, and then he left the restaurant in Secretary Zhu's car.
At Wu Kai's request, Secretary Zhu took Wu Kai not far from the Party School. When he got off the bus, he said goodbye between the two. Then Wu Kai got out of the car and watched Secretary Zhu's car go away before walking towards the Party School.
Before he knew it, Wu Kai walked downstairs of the dormitory. Just as he was about to enter, a voice stopped him: "Assistant Zhang! You are finally back."
When Wu Kai heard the sound, he stopped and turned around to see Secretary Fei of the county party committee of xx County walking out of a car and hurried towards him.
Secretary Fei walked to Wu Kai, smiled and held Wu Kai's hand, and said, "Assistant Zhang! I came to the provincial capital to run for poverty alleviation funds today. I heard that you came to study at the Provincial Party School today, so I came to see you before going back. But when I went to your dormitory to find you, Deputy Mayor Chen of qy City said you were out for dinner. I was going back, but I didn't expect that when I was about to leave, I happened to see you back."
When Wu Kai heard Secretary Fei's words, he smiled and shook hands with Secretary Fei and asked, "How is it! Have the poverty alleviation funds been running out?"
Secretary Fei shook his head in frustration when he heard Wu Kai's question, and replied, "No! We went to find them with the cadres below. Those people were willing to care about us. We ran all morning and they didn't see us at all, so we had no choice but to come to you."
When Wu Kai heard Secretary Fei's words, he thought about it for a while and said, "Secretary Fei! Then leave me a report and I'll find some time for them to ask."
Secretary Fei happily handed Wu Kai a piece of materials that had been prepared long ago, and said, "Assistant Zhang! Thank you so much!"
When Wu Kai heard Secretary Fei’s thanks, he smiled awkwardly: “Secretary Fei, are you thanking me or scolding me! I am the mayor’s assistant. If you don’t have money, then we have no face. Okay! You go back first! If this matter is settled, I will let you notify you.”
