National Tide 1980.

Chapter 511 Enough Friends

The Deputy Director of Temple of Heaven Park, Director Jin of the Service Bureau, and Zou Guodong of Pierre Carton sat at the banquet in the other three private rooms to accompany them.

The guests entertained at these tables are all friends from the cultural circles.

The vice president and secretary-general of the Artists Association, the production director of Beijing TV Station, painters Huang Zhou, Zhong Zhifu, ceramic expert Ye Hemin, and calligrapher Sha Manweng sat at one table.

The teachers and students from the two major art colleges sat together.

There is also a seat for the main members of the crew of "Burning the Old Summer Palace", director Li Hanxiang, "East Palace", "West Palace", "Concubine Li", "Prince Gong", and the "Unlucky Emperor".

These people sitting together and chatting, of course, are all cultural.

What you eat is pastries, but what you talk about is all historical allusions and court anecdotes.

For example, in the past, how Shaguoju made a fortune from the leftovers in the palace, how did the Qing palace eat in the middle of the night, why the annual winter solstice feast in the court hall was a flashy chore, and what was the Qianlong Banquet held by Qianlong? Such famous dishes are spread, Guangxu loves seafood, Cixi loves duck, how did this old lady die in a greedy mouth...

Not to mention, these people's stomachs are really rich.

The topics they talked about together were enough to compile an unofficial court history and gourmet miscellaneous notes.

For example, the production director surnamed Cao of Beijing TV Station expressed his feelings, "We should really record everyone's conversation. This is a feature film about gossip about court food. It can be played directly on the TV station." It's..."

Unexpectedly, his words could be regarded as a handle for the deputy principal, and the deputy principal took the opportunity to make an unfeeling request.

"Director Cao, as soon as you mentioned this, I remembered one thing to ask you, that is, the feature film that you filmed in our park last month, can I trouble you to make up a few more shots of our tourist shop and this one? The scene of the restaurant will be broadcast on the TV again?"

These words immediately made the director of the production difficult.

"My big garden director, what are you singing? We are going to send the film up for trial! You and I attacked suddenly? I am really embarrassed..."

"Oh, man, just help me out. Tourism culture also needs to be reflected in all aspects. In the past, we only focused on politics and never paid attention to business. But now the reform and opening up is different. Think about it, if your feature film Here, the lack of commercial changes, isn’t that a big flaw? How can it reflect the progress of society?”

Director Cao quickly misunderstood the original intention of the deputy director.

Shaking his head and smiling wryly, "Grand Director, you are too shrewd. You are obviously trying to sell dog meat, and you want to use feature films to advertise your restaurant for free. Your brother stays in the park every day , Why is this idea so avant-garde! I think you have more business acumen than those who go out to socialize and start companies every day."

The deputy director is also frank.

"Hey, Director, you really think highly of me. I won't hide it from you. I don't have such brains. This is actually the idea of ​​the head of our restaurant, Manager Ning. This young man has a business vision and a business sense. They are all top-notch. Otherwise, how can our restaurant reach such a level?"

"Frankly speaking, I don't contribute much to the establishment of this restaurant, so I issued a military order on this matter. Dude, you really need to help me. I can't let my words count and lose face, right?"

"Don't worry, our restaurant business is going to improve, and we will definitely find you for TV commercials. Besides, we still have many opportunities for cooperation in the future. We will hold sculpture art exhibitions and garden parties this year. The book market is also expanding because of its increasing prosperity. The size requirements, it all depends on your help to promote it..."

In this way, Director Cao can only pinch his nose and admit it.

"Don't tell me, all the parks in our capital belong to your Temple of Heaven. In the past two years, your Temple of Heaven has suppressed the limelight of Beihai, the Forbidden City, and the Summer Palace. All these activities are popular. Now Everyone knows the name of your Temple of Heaven Sculpture Exhibition, Garden Party and Book Fair. I really admire you. I didn’t expect that you even run a restaurant so different. Well, I’ll advance any major events for you bro. Talk to me, I'll help you with this, we have to strengthen cooperation in the future. You will become famous in the future, you can't leave us alone, just recognize the national channel..."

"I can't, you don't know about me, of course I have to be friends. Hey...Don't tell me, I have an insider information for you now, which is something that other reporters haven't grasped yet. We, decide Consume first, pay later. That is to say, in the future, when we eat on the second floor of our place, we will eat first and pay later..."

Indeed, this news is really weighty!

You know, at present, almost all state-run catering institutions across the country pay first and then eat.

In fact, if Ning Weimin hadn't opened this restaurant, it would have broken the current practice in the catering industry.

According to the original history, it was at least 1985 that Taifeng Building in Beijing took the lead in making such changes and became the pioneer of reform.

So Director Cao just intuitively knew that this news was worth exploring when the current price system was in turmoil.

If you work hard, it is not difficult to make a good news that attracts the attention and heated discussions of the public.

And at this moment, the "live fish in sauce" was served on this table after the two main tables.

The production director has strengthened his confidence and determination because of this dish, and he will try his best to make this job a reality!

For nothing else, just for the freshness of this dish!Just go for this unbelievable culinary art!

He thought that the future of this restaurant was limitless, and it was indeed worthy of a big book and publicity.

Such a company is bound to become popular. If you accumulate favors in advance, you won't suffer...

Of course, in addition to chatting about elegant things, talking about human relationships, and talking about cooperation.

Among cultural people, there are some who are really gourmets, who are only fascinated by delicious food.

For example, director Li Hanxiang took a piece of fish with chopsticks, and after tasting it, he couldn't help but be amazed.

"This fish dish is really good. I always thought that Beijing is not good at making fish dishes. There is no good quality fish, and the taste of the seasoning is not good, too strong. I didn't expect there to be such delicious and brilliant fish dishes. , the fish meat is very delicious, it is clearly carp, but there is no earthy smell, and the light sauce fragrance is just right..."

Liang Jiahui also echoed sincerely, "Yes, yes, what I'm least used to in Beijing is the sticky, dark, and oily dishes of Lu cuisine. This fish dish is amazing. The soup is red and bright, and the taste is very good. If it weren't for There are too many fish bones, and it has caught up with the taste of sweet-scented osmanthus fish. Wow, look at its mouth, half of its body has been eaten, and it is still moving. The chef who made this dish is amazing, I really want to see it... ..."

Liu Xiaoqin was immediately delighted by the compliments from the two Hong Kong people.

She, the first lady in the film industry, is actually quite simple, with a straightforward temper and a good face.

So he picked up the wine bottle, filled a glass of cold beer for Director Li and Liang Jiahui, and said very proudly.

"Hmph, fine wine and fine wine. Every day I hear you say that Hong Kong City is delicious, that is delicious, and complain about the salty and salty ones in our capital, what? Today's sex change? You finally admit that our capital also has delicious food? Then Alright, I have to fine you a cup on behalf of the people of the capital, hurry up, it's all done!"

Li Hanxiang and Liang Jiahui looked at each other and couldn't help but refute.

One said, "Wow, Xiaoqin, don't misinterpret our meaning and destroy our relationship with the people of the capital. We all like hot-boiled lamb and roast duck? We just don't like some dishes very much..."

Another said, "Xiaoqin, I remember you are a girl from Sichuan, can you still represent the people of Beijing?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaoqin raised her neck and drank a whole cup by herself first, and her mouth was extremely stiff.

"Why can't I represent the people of the capital? I'm an actor in the Beijing Film Studio, and I'll have a residence permit in the capital soon. And now I'm still acting as Yehenara Yulan..."

Chen Ye, who played Ci'an, was also beating the drums at the side at this time, "That's right. No matter what, Xiaoqin should do it first and respect it first. You two big men, can't you be inferior to a woman? How about I join in?" Qu’er, let’s offer you a toast together. It’s agreed, I’ll drink it too. Then you’ll have to toast three times in a row…”

Both Li Hanxiang and Liang Jiahui were taken aback, and they didn't dare to evade any further delays.

The director raised his glass, "I can't offend your two queens...", and then "Gudong Gudong".

The "Emperor" lamented, "Hey, you mainland actresses, I would rather offend the villain than you...", the same "gudong gudong".

"Cian" ​​and "Cixi" raised their hands to cover their mouths at the same time, and laughed tacitly.

But this is not over. The "Concubine Li" and "Prince Gong" at the same table also have the same hatred.

After they finished drinking, the two filled up the "director" and "emperor" with wine bottles.

"Prince Gong" said, "Director, you also have to show me face. You can't drink Xiaoqin's. If you don't drink mine, I respect you too. Let's have another drink..."

"Concubine Li" showed a freshness that was never seen in the play.

"Hey, what's wrong with our mainland actresses? Are you saying we hold grudges? Your Majesty, you're right. Come, let's have a drink..."

"what?"

Li Hanxiang and Liang Jiahui were dumbfounded on the spot!
The mainland actors laughed together.
