【1251】 Delicate morning tea
The welcome dinner held by all walks of life in Xiangjiang for Xiao Feng was grand and grand, which shows that the Xiangjiang authorities and the economic circle attached great importance to Xiao Feng. To a certain extent, Xiao Feng and his "Jinghu Group" have become powerful weapons to reverse the downturn in the capital market in Xiangjiang.
Under such circumstances, all walks of life in Xiangjiang have great courtesy to Xiao Feng. Tonight's welcome dinner was a charity dinner that raised donations for the "Ginkgo Foundation".
At the end of the dinner, the wealthy, celebrities and politicians in Xiangjiang all gave up a generous donation to raise a total of 60 million rmb of donations for the Ginkgo Foundation.
Although this donation is far from the hundreds of millions of dollars that Xiao Feng usually raises, love is always the most important, and the amount is second.
As the person involved, Xiao Feng can naturally clearly feel the kindness released by all walks of life in Xiangjiang. No matter what position it is, Xiao Feng also hopes that Xiangjiang's economy can develop smoothly. A stable Xiangjiang is something that everyone is happy to see.
In addition to the "Jinghu Group", Xiao Feng will also use his huge connections to create certain convenient conditions for the development of Xiangjiang. As for the future results, Xiao Feng dared not guarantee it. In short, everything will move in a good direction.
At the welcoming dinner, some heavyweight media in Xiangjiang and the Xiangjiang Branch of Huaxia Society all entered the venue and used self-media tools such as Weibo to conduct real-time reports.
Therefore, when the amount of 60 million rmb of donations was released, fans who were following Xiao Feng across the country also learned about the results of this welcoming dinner at the first time and liked it on the Internet!
For most Chinese people, they have special feelings for Xiangjiang, so they naturally hope that Xiangjiang can get better and better. After all, this is Xiangjiang of the entire Chinese nation, not Xiangjiang of the Xiangjiang of a very small number of people.
Now, as a wealthy man in mainland China and a representative of the imperial cabinet, Xiao Feng appeared in Xiangjiang and was welcomed by all walks of life in Xiangjiang. This undoubtedly proves that there are only a very small number of people in Xiangjiang who are going against the current.
In a sense, Xiao Feng's trip to Xiangjiang made more Chinese fans feel his huge influence.
…………
After the welcoming dinner, Xiao Feng and others bid farewell to the guests. Through this dinner, Xiao Feng became familiar with the rich people in Xiangjiang and even Southeast Asia, and deeply felt the huge influence of these rich people in this area.
The Chinese Empire is committed to expanding the empire's influence on a global scale. These super rich people are potential partners. The empire needs to unite all forces that can be united in order to truly realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Xiao Feng naturally agreed with this and cooperated quite well in his actions. After all, the prosperity of the motherland is the best backer for everyone!
When I was studying, Xiao Feng watched a TV series and remembered a line in it with deep memory, "The country is weak and the individual is too strong, and I will always suffer losses!"
Xiao Feng didn't quite understand it before, but when he became the "richest Chinese man", he gradually understood the truth of this sentence.
Although Xiao Feng is now holding many halos and has a huge influence and popularity around the world, he knows that his position comes from the support of the empire.
If it were not for the background of the Chinese Empire, even if Xiao Feng and the "Xiao Family" had more wealth, they would be regarded as pigs and sheep to be slaughtered overseas. How could they be as free and unrestrained as they are now?
However, some people cannot see through these principles and think that after they have huge wealth and social influence, they can become detached from the world!
…………
After getting up in the morning, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao refused the hotel's kind plead for delivering breakfast to the room, and instead chose to enjoy morning tea in the hotel's buffet restaurant.
In the food culture of China, Lingnan and Xiangjiang morning tea is an important content that cannot be ignored or missed.
Speaking of the origin of Lingnan morning tea, it can be traced back to the Tongzhi period of Xianfeng. At that time, there was a restaurant called "Yi Liguan" in Yangcheng. There was a wooden sign with the word "tea talk" hanging at the door, which served tea and pastries. The facilities were simple, and only a few wooden tables and stools were used to welcome guests and chat for passers-by to rest and talk. Later, tea houses appeared, and the scale became larger and became a teahouse. Since then, Lingnan people went to teahouses to drink morning teahouses and became popular.
To this day, tea in Lingnan morning tea has become a supporting role, but the refreshments are becoming more and more refined and diverse. With the rapid development of Lingnan economy, this traditional culture has not only shown no sign of disappearance, but has become more and more a beautiful landscape in the leisure life of Lingnan people.
The prosperity of Lingnan morning tea is inseparable from the prosperity of trade and rapid economic development in Lingnan since ancient times. In Lingnan, you can talk about business, exchange information, or gather friends and talk about the world during morning tea. Businessmen regard teahouses as important places for negotiation, while ordinary people here to relieve pressure and get half a day of leisure in their lives.
There was a couplet in the "Miaoqixiang" teahouse in Yangcheng in the old days:
"Busy for fame and profit, take a break from your busy schedule and drink a cup of tea; work hard, work hard, make fun of your hard work, and bring a pot of wine."
There is also a couplet on the third floor of the famous teahouse in Yangcheng, "Taotaoju", which reads:
"Tao Qian is good at drinking, Yi Ya is good at cooking, and he just meets him as a gentleman in the seat; Tao Kan is beautiful, Xia Yu is beautiful, the most regrettable is the time in the cup."
Morning tea culture is no longer just a food culture, but also a life attitude and love for life in Lingnan people.
When you get up in the morning, buy a newspaper, and walk into the teahouse easily, ask for a pot of tea, buy two snacks, and read while eating; or ask a friend or two to order a few snacks, and chat while eating.
Especially for the elderly, there is no need to rush to go to work. After morning exercise, you can drink a pot of morning tea until 90 o'clock, and then go on the street to buy some fish, meat, vegetables, etc., and then walk home slowly.
Xiangjiang is only separated from Lingnan by a river, and most of the residents migrate from Lingnan. In terms of food culture and living habits, they are naturally almost the same as Lingnan. The morning tea culture that is popular in Yangcheng is naturally the same in Xiangjiang.
Even in an international metropolis like Xiangjiang where life is very fast, morning tea culture still permeates every corner of the society, and teahouses of all sizes in Xiangjiang carry the precipitation of this city.
The grades of morning tea are high and low, and the levels of consumers are different. Different people can find their favorites in the teahouse.
Xiao Feng’s current identity and itinerary are not convenient to stroll around the streets to find the food and teahouses in Xiangjiang. He can only enjoy morning tea at the Peninsula Hotel.
Of course, as the oldest five-star hotel in Xiangjiang, the morning tea at Peninsula Hotel is also quite outstanding and enjoys a high reputation in Xiangjiang.
Of course, the afternoon tea at Peninsula Hotel is the tradition that makes it famous all over the world, but morning tea is not inferior at all.
When Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao arrived at the restaurant, there were already 50% or 60% of the guests in the entire restaurant. The steaming open kitchen emitted a strong fragrance, which made Xiao Feng feel a sense of intimacy.
For an authentic Chinese, the charm of Chinese food is always incomparable to Western food. It is not only rich and colorful in taste, but also in cooking techniques.
In Western restaurants, people can only see elegant and quiet scenes. All food is delivered to the table after the kitchen is finished, and even every step is meticulous. Even if one or two dishes are occasionally made on the spot in front of customers, it is more for the purpose of performance and display, and it cannot be the norm for Western food production.
However, in the process of making Chinese food, whether it is frying, cooking, or various knife skills, they pay attention to a "lively energy". This is the essence of Chinese food in China!
Just like now, the heat of the open kitchen is rising, and the waiters pushing a cart to shuttle between the guests report a menu from time to time. The whole environment is in a noisy and orderly manner, with an indescribable charm!
As for the guests, they seem to have the best relaxation in this environment, whether they are reading newspapers, chatting or having a feast, they are all content.
Xiao Feng's family, who had just entered the restaurant, was soon attracted by the dazzling array of delicious food. Even the noisy Pingping, An An sat obediently in her seat, staring at the food pushed by the waiter.
In addition to Xiao Feng, Xiao Qiang, Yang Yuanhang, Xiao Feng and his party also had various security and service personnel. Thirty or forty people were in awe, which was also eye-catching.
However, guests who can enjoy morning tea at Peninsula Hotel are either rich or noble, and no one will rush up to take a photo with Xiao Feng or ask for an autograph. After all, in such occasions, even Xiao Feng's fans will be a little more restrained.
Fortunately, the morning teahouse in Peninsula Hotel was quite large, so five or six tables were quickly released and refreshments were started.
The ordering tradition of Lingnan morning tea is different from other places, that is, the waiter will give the guests a record card with the table number and number of guests written on it. The tea fee for Peninsula Hotel is about 58rmb. If you are in other teahouses, it may be much cheaper.
After the guests sit down, they will first come with two pots of tea, and choose any tea leaves, usually including oolong, chrysanthemum, Pu'er, chrysanthemum, etc.
Xiao Feng tasted it. Although Pu'er is not the top Pu'er, it is at least an ecological Pu'er native to the mountains of southern Yunnan. It has been fermented for at least 5 years, which is quite good. As for chrysanthemum tea, it should be from Jiangnan, and it is worth the money.
You don’t have to get the snacks by yourself. The waiter will push the car around and see what you want to eat. The guests can reach out to grab them by themselves. Then the waiter will stamp the record card. When you finally pay the bill, you will check the bill according to the stamp on the record card.
Looking at the dazzling array of delicious food, the little guys were a little at a loss and didn't know what to eat.
Xiao Feng knew that these little guys were all carnivorous animals, and the bland vegetarian food would not satisfy them, so he first took them two cages of crystal shrimp dumplings.
Crystal shrimp dumplings are one of the protagonists of Lingnan morning tea. Basically, every teahouse will have its own unique secret crystal shrimp dumplings. Each family has its own flavor, but all shrimp dumplings will highlight the word "fresh"!
After the shrimp dumplings, there are rice noodles with the characteristics of Lingnan and western Guizhou. This kind of delicacy steamed with rice slurry and rolled with various fillings is deeply loved by the people in the south and is an important part of refreshments.
In the end, even Xiao Feng didn't care about the children. The various delicacies that kept coming almost made him forget it and began to eat and drink desperately.
Only then can Xiao Feng truly experience that the core purpose of "Lingnan Morning Tea" is not to drink tea, but to enjoy delicious food and enjoy the good morning time.
Even Xu Mengyao was conquered by various delicacies. Even though the Xiao family had eaten a lot of delicacies, it was a very novel experience to enjoy in this environment, which was quite good!
As for foreign employees such as Mark William, they were also attracted by this unique breakfast with Lingnan characteristics. Each delicacy is made like a work of art, allowing them to suffer an artistic baptism when enjoying the delicacy.
The longer I followed Xiao Feng, the more William and others could feel the profoundness of Chinese culture. Just a breakfast alone could create so many tricks. In terms of enjoying life, Chinese people actually do better than Westerners. Chinese people are good at using the limited conditions at hand to create a better life.
As the housekeeper team of the "Xiao Family", William also hopes to have a deeper understanding of Chinese culture and better serve his boss.
…………
Xiao Feng and others stayed in the teahouse for nearly two hours. It was not that Xiao Feng didn't want to continue, but that he really couldn't stay.
There are so many kinds of refreshments in the teahouse. Several children are already a little overeating, and something will happen if they stay.
Xiao Feng didn't expect that the children were used to eating delicious food, but they still didn't have much resistance in the face of the variety and delicious morning tea refreshments.
When Xiao Feng and others left, many elderly guests were still sitting leisurely in their seats reading newspapers or whispering to a few friends, feeling at ease.
For Xiao Feng, this kind of attitude towards life that is not alarmed by praise or disgrace is what he needs to learn the most. Only by living every second is enjoyable can life be happy!
The next itinerary will be handed over to the children, because the official listing of the "Jinghu Scenic Area" will be next Monday, and this weekend will belong to the children.
This time, Xiao Feng came to Xiangjiang early to take his children to the Ocean Park and Disney. As a father, Xiao Feng always hopes to give the best of everything to the children.
When Xiao Feng and his party walked out of the hotel lobby, the Audi team prepared by the convoy was already waiting at the door. Xiao Feng's security team took over the convoy completely and greatly improved the safety factor.
Many paparazzi waiting at the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel soon discovered Xiao Feng's figure. When the convoy left, many paparazzi vehicles followed behind.
After all, for Xiangjiang citizens, the halo of the "richest Chinese" is still extremely dazzling, and Xiao Feng's every move in Xiangjiang has attracted much attention.
Before Xiao Feng, the title of the world's top Chinese richest man fell in Xiangjiang for more than 20 consecutive years. Xiao Feng broke this record, which made Xiangjiang citizens very interested in him.
Chapter completed!
