Different God of Cooking [Rebirth]

Chapter 109 Table Culture

In a box named "Yueyin Tower", the typical Chinese retro decoration style, solid wood dining table and chairs, and even the chandelier above the head are traditional hollow carving techniques, and the whole private room reveals an expensive atmosphere.

To be honest, Zhao An doesn't like this kind of decoration style, and it can be summed up simply as "only the shape, not the meaning".

Zhao An has been to many restaurants like this. Some restaurants pursue "vintage craftsmanship and millennium inheritance", some pursue "cultural origin, and long esophagus", and some pursue "beautiful and exquisite"...

In the past, Zhao An did not agree with these lofty and misty themes. For him, the basic pursuit of food is safety and deliciousness.Just like for him once, the piano is precision.

Leaving aside Zhao An's understanding of catering and piano, let's continue to talk about today's luxurious banquet.

As soon as they entered the door, the team leader and Father Zhao gave way to each other.

"Come, come, boss Zhao sit here."

The middle-aged man with an obvious beer belly opened the solid wooden chair farthest from the door. Zhao An could feel the weight of the chair just by hearing the friction between the chair and the ground.

"It's not polite, what bureau should this position belong to?"

Father Zhao quickly waved his hands and declined, with a respectful tone.

Of course He Ju would not agree, so he pushed back with Zhao's father.The two sides fought fiercely with each other, as if they wanted to kill each other completely, and this kind of confrontation went back and forth three times.

This time, after Zhao's father finished his humble words, he gently pushed He Ju to this unique position with both hands.

He Ju, who was able to lift the solid wooden dining chair with one hand just now, suddenly became a weak, boneless, weak and sick child, who was pushed lightly by Zhao's father and sat on the main seat.

He Ju continued to say:

"Brother Zhao is really too polite, so you must eat and drink well today, otherwise it will be considered that I, He, have not greeted you well."

Smart people have heard that this He Ju's name for Zhao's father has changed from "Boss Zhao" to "Brother Zhao", which means that we don't have to deal with business matters in the future, but can talk about relationships and Favored.

Then, under the persuasion of everyone, Zhao's father sat on the left side of He Ju, and then Zhao An and his party sat down counterclockwise along Zhao's father, and the officials who followed Director He came from Director He's seat. The right hand sits clockwise.

The Chinese dining table rules have a long history and are profound and obscure. Every action in it has profound meaning. I don’t know how many heroes and ambitions died on this dining table, and how many long-sleeved and good dancers became famous through the dining table.

First of all, the seat farthest from the entrance is the most honored seat on the entire table. Some restaurants even fold different napkins to show their dignity, while the seat on the left is the second seat, and the seat on the right is the third. sequence, and so on.

This He Ju is the director of the Shashi Investment Promotion Bureau, who is responsible for receiving businessmen who invest in Shashi. Of course, ordinary businessmen don't have the turn to come forward.

Zhao's father's current Yuehua Group is quite famous in the south, and it will benefit farmers wherever he goes, which is enough for He Ju to accompany him in person.

As the host, He Ju naturally wanted to show the friendship of the landlord and his own generosity, and let Zhao's father take the main seat as soon as he came.

Fortunately, Zhao's father has experience, and he knows that the "three visits to the thatched cottage" are all to show the courtesy and virtuousness of the "uncle emperor".So Father Zhao must accompany He Ju in this play, so that He Ju can not only show his "magnanimity and hospitality", but also make He Ju feel respected.

If it were a businessman with less experience, as long as he dared to sit down directly, no matter how rich he was, he would inevitably be credited.

At least at this time, it may not be He Ju himself who is ordering food, but He Ju directly throws the menu to the other party, and then says:

"Look at what dishes you like to eat, order as you like. Don't be polite."

It would be really embarrassing if it really got to that point, and Zhao's father as a guest would not be at all, not at all.

He Ju is not afraid of any retaliation, after all, if he is a businessman who really surpasses He Ju's status, He Ju will not be able to host the dinner.

Indeed, some people would be curious. Didn’t many people say that the China Merchants Bureau in that era was afraid of offending the rich and groveling in all kinds of ways?That is already the old calendar of the 80s. At that time, as long as you can pay, you are the boss.

However, after more than ten years of continuous economic growth, people have more and more hot money, and people have gradually discovered that the real way to make money is in the hands of the government.

Therefore, the situation changes. Although it cannot be said that the government has absolute dominance, it is true that businessmen are paying more and more attention to the face of officials, hoping to obtain some privileges in terms of taxation, policies, and subsidies.

This is a period of ups and downs in China's development journey, and it is also a past that does not need to be avoided.

Now that he has started to call him brothers, He Ju will naturally not be "stingy", and soon he handed over the menu to the waiter in cheongsam, and then continued to chat with Zhao's father.

"Brother Zhao, don't you want to introduce?"

Although Zhao An and others in the same company had already introduced themselves as soon as they met Director He, Director He, who was still doing business at that time, had no time to memorize the names of some insignificant people, and the reports given to him by his subordinates "Zhao Yuehua", a well-known entrepreneur, was also mentioned in the book.

Zhao's father didn't change his face, and immediately got up to introduce the four casually to He Ju.Zhao An, Liu Xi, Wang Zegang, and Zhao's father intend to arrange an old employee who will be the general manager in H Province in the future.

"Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs. I didn't expect to come out with my father to discuss business at a young age. It seems that Brother Zhao doesn't have to worry about successors in the future."

"How can Uncle He be so powerful? Now that the country is focusing on the economy, only people like you can take on the important task of attracting investment."

This dinner was too important, and Zhao An had to use the kung fu that he used to have both ways, talking about others and talking nonsense.

The other three also have their own specialties in He Jukou at this time, and they seem to be rare heroes and business tycoons.

The three of them also responded with their own words of praise. They wanted to praise He Ju as unique in the world, but they couldn't cross certain red lines.

As for why He Ju didn't remember their names before, let alone mention it, he didn't even have an idea.This kind of thing has long been used to it.

Although I don't want to admit it, this is one of the necessary capabilities for business operations.

For more than ten minutes, the two sides did not start talking about business at all.

Neither Zhao's father nor Zhao An spoke rashly, because everyone knew that it was not the time to get better and better.

The private rooms of "Yueyin Tower" naturally enjoy the first-class service. Several pretty waiters take turns to serve the dishes one by one, proficiently reporting the names of various elegant dishes, which is short of "a gathering of talents"[1] .

More than [-] dishes filled the originally empty circular dining table in an instant. Just looking at the appearance of these dishes, Zhao An already felt a little aching.

Then the real big head came on the stage at this time, and several bottles of national wine had been opened and brought in, filling up for every guest.

But the national wine is indeed the national wine, the whole room is full of strong wine aroma, making Zhao An frown.

Just when the waiter was about to pour wine for Zhao An, Father Zhao couldn't help but said:

"He Ju, my son is not yet full, so he should stop drinking."

At this time, the small wine glass in front of Zhao An was already filled with national wine, and Zhao An kept silent in a timely manner.

No matter how useful he is to Yuehua, how many of the things discussed at the wine table were Zhao An's proposals, but Zhao An just couldn't speak at this time.

This is the rule, which Zhao An loathes in his heart, but he is unable to change the wine table rule at this moment.

When Father Zhao said this, he looked at Director He without hesitation.Director He was a little surprised, this was the first time that Zhao's father was so dishonest today, there was no reason why he would not drink when he was at the wine table.

But looking at the seriousness in Zhao's father's eyes, Director He inexplicably remembered his son, and said:

"Brother Zhao, what is this saying? If the child can't drink it, then don't drink it. Everything is for the child's good."

Then he turned to the waiter and said, "Hurry up and get your drinks."

The waiter immediately turned around and went out to get drinks.

When he came back, besides the drink, the waiter also had a special glass for the drink. He poured the drink for Zhao An and placed it in front of Zhao An.

Seeing this, Zhao An still secretly sighed, even Zhao's father didn't pay attention. .

The waiter who can pour wine for this private room doesn't understand the twists and turns.

Now that there are cups in front of everyone, the table can be officially opened.

"Come on! On behalf of Shashi, I would like to respect everyone."

Director He has already finished a glass of wine on his own initiative, and the others drank it all in one gulp.

"Come on, brother Zhao, let's try the representative of Hunan cuisine, fish head with chopped peppers."

He Ju took the initiative to clip the fish head for Zhao's father, and then clipped half of the fish head for Zhao An, showing the intimacy of his elders.

After tasting the fresh and refreshing fish head with chopped peppers, Zhao An suddenly missed Ji Jiashu very much.

In fact, Ji Jiashu's simple personality is very likely to be swallowed by the big shark in the entertainment industry, and there is no scum left.

But the purity of Ji Jiashu is what Zhao An likes most. When he is with Ji Jiashu, Zhao An never needs to wear a complicated mask.

Zhao An suddenly laughed at himself in his heart. He used to be far smoother than he is now.

At that time, he was indeed chasing the peak of the piano, but in other words, Zhao An at that time could do everything for the piano, otherwise how could he become the piano prince who is popular in China?

Putting aside these fragile thoughts, Zhao An turned his gaze back to the wine table, which finally started to heat up.

Starting from Zhao's father, Zhao An and his team have already started to toast Director He in turn, and then "sit in the village" in turn to toast to other government/government staff.

Even Zhao An raised the drink cup in his hand, starting with Director He, and respected the "drinks" one by one.

After three glasses and two glasses of spirits, the atmosphere of the wine table has reached a new level, and everyone has begun to call each other brothers.

Seeing Director He's face turning red, Zhao's father thought he had reached a "good state", so he said:

"He Ju, look at the things I just said. It's not me, Zhao Yuejin, as long as He Ju agrees, I will do my best to lead the farmers in Shashi to increase their income and become rich."

Director He, who was obviously a little drunk just now, still articulated very clearly, full of embarrassing tone:

"Boss Zhao, we welcome you to invest in Shashi. The branch, factory site, and business manufacturing you mentioned are all very easy to handle, and we will definitely give you preferential treatment according to the scale of foreign investment. But in terms of policy, I'm really not easy to push. I'm just a bureau chief, and I'm also very embarrassed about this matter."

Come on, Director He's address to Father Zhao changed from "Brother Zhao" to "Boss Zhao" at this time. Ju He was not drunk at all, and Zhao An was clear about it.
