At the old Yangjiayan store in Daqianmen, several Mercedes-Benz cars stopped in the parking lot, and then a dedicated waiter hurriedly came forward to guide the way.
First walk into the hotel lobby and tell the name of the private room you have reserved. The waiter who led the way from the parking lot left, and the waiter dedicated to the private room came over and led the group up.
The overall decoration style of the Yang Family Banquet was somewhat similar to that of ancient restaurants. Although many of the main buildings could not be made of wood, after all, they were not very strong and could not be built too high.
But the appearance is all treated with a wooden structure. Some small places and corners can be made of wood. Basically, they are made of solid wood, so they look antique and charming.
However, this one looks very high-end, and sometimes it is not very popular among young people, so later the Yang Family Banquet began to expand toward the back.
The overall style has been changed to the luxurious style of the current decoration, which is somewhat mixed with some European and American decoration styles.
In short, if you want to dine in the antique Chinese historical charm, you can book a private room in the front restaurant. If you want to feel more in line with the current fashion style, you can book a newly expanded private room in the back.
However, although the decoration style has changed, the dishes and tableware have not changed. They just added a lot of serving chopsticks and independent tableware.
The main body of the tableware is still porcelain. The tableware designed and customized by Yang Jiayan's only son has applied for patents and brand protection. You will never see the same tableware in other restaurants.
For this reason, Ran Feifei filed a lawsuit two years ago with a porcelain factory that imitated the tableware design for the Yang Family Banquet. She even sued the porcelain factory and the restaurant that used these porcelains in an attempt to circumvent the Yang Family Banquet.
At that time, the entire catering industry was shocked, because there was a talented person behind the restaurant that dared to do this, otherwise they would not dare to rub it against Yang Jiayan.
As a result, not only did the restaurant close down, but it also ended up losing a lot of money. In this way, those colleagues in the catering industry who originally had some ideas suddenly put away their little thoughts.
For decoration style and tableware, if you can find someone who can design it, use it. If you can’t find it, use popular models. Just put the logo of your restaurant on the tableware, and it can be regarded as your own tableware.
There is no need to go to the same factory as Yang Jiayan to tease Mr. Ran's sharp knife that can definitely cut people.
Order the dishes before they arrive, because many state banquet dishes need to be prepared in advance. It is more convenient to order them in advance and eat them.
"Why is that porcelain covered with a glass cover and not allowed to be touched?" Yang Dongxu wanted an antique box.
So when you walk in, you can find everything from jade railings to screens and porcelain. Among the porcelains placed on the shelves, there is one that is placed alone on a custom-made fixed display stand, illuminated with a transparent glass cover.
"This piece of porcelain is blue and white porcelain. It is authentic and is worth about 750,000 yuan. It is illuminated with glass. One is to prevent guests from accidentally touching it. The other is that the inside of the cover is vacuum-sealed to better protect the porcelain."
The box attendant explained quietly from the side.
In fact, there is another reason not mentioned, and that is anti-theft.
The entire booth is specially made, not the wooden shelf with stylish porcelain on it. The glass is naturally bulletproof glass.
This thing gives you a big hammer, and you may not be able to break it open even if you give it another hour. What's more, there is a special alarm under the table.
When she first came up with this design, Ran Feifei also wanted to make the entire box look more stylish, so she invited real Chinese masters to lay out the decoration and placement of objects.
The entire box did indeed look very grand and stylish in the end, and you even felt like a scholarly family as soon as you entered. But I always feel like something is missing somewhere.
In the end, Yang Dongxu said something more, saying that no matter how similar the appearance is, the things inside are all fake, and the fake ones cannot be real.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
So Ran Feifei waved her hand, and each box was equipped with a piece of porcelain or other types of antiques worth at least 500,000 yuan, depending on the decoration style.
Such a bold and arrogant technique instantly filled the entire antique-style box with style. Many people who played with antiques even came to the Yang Family Banquet to sit in the box to see these antiques.
The prices of blue and white porcelain and other porcelain have increased in the past two years. A few years ago, this vase was worth 650,000, but now it has risen to 750,000, and there is still room for growth.
Let’s talk about ten thousand. You said you spent one million to decorate this box. I won’t tell you how much it cost to decorate my box. I will tell you that the porcelain displayed there is worth 750,000. I wonder if you can accept it. Convinced?
Ran Feifei also didn't expect that when she went to get treasures in the box, she originally just wanted to improve the level of the box alone. Who would have thought that this investment is still making money, and a lot of money.
Every time this point was mentioned, the smile on Ran Feifei's face became a little brighter. As for the electronics, it was Yang Dongxu who mentioned it in one sentence. Don't worry, the wise leader's decision must be Mr. Ran's. What's the matter with your big boss Yang Dongxu?
Du Weiwei couldn't help but stick out her tongue. The decoration in the private room felt very high-end as soon as she entered. Who would have thought that a bottle placed there would be the same price as her own house. She couldn't afford it, she really couldn't afford it.
After a few people sat down, they started with cold appetizers, which were some cold dishes.
Of course, this cold dish will definitely not give you a pile of dipping sauces, and then give you a plate of pig ears or pork liver.
They are all very exquisite and high-end ingredients.
For example, the dragon whisker noodles with soup. The noodles are hand-pulled very thin, and they are dry and can be eaten with soup.
And this kind of dry noodles is not the fried crispy noodles like instant noodles, but has good toughness. Accompanying a small pancake to roll and bite,
So it's very vulgar, and the texture is a bit crunchy. The soup that goes with it is bird's nest soup, and the taste and feel are completely different.
And the set meal is different from the banquet noodle. The whole dish is served on the banquet noodle, and then the guests at the table eat it together.
The set meals are all divided into small portions, and each person only eats his or her own portion.
Originally, Yang Dongxu was going to order a banquet, but the banquet required at least 20 dishes. The three girls didn't have much appetite, so even if he could eat, he wouldn't be able to eat so much. There is no need to do anything special in this matter.
So I simply changed it to a set meal, which may seem a bit trivial, but it is certain that everyone will be full, and there will be no waste.
However, while dining like this, there were more waiters in the private room, a total of five.
Because when each dish is served, it is served on a tray and served by a waiter. They have four set meals for four adults. Naturally, they need four waiters to serve the dishes, and the remaining one is responsible for serving tea and water in the private room.
"Is there steak in the state banquet?" Du Weiwei couldn't help but ask when she saw that the first dish was a piece of beef.
"The focus of the state banquet is not the food. Of course the food is also very important, but the focus is still on the word state banquet. What is a state banquet? It is the food that our country's leaders eat by themselves or when they entertain foreign leaders.
Some of these dishes are traditional delicacies of our country, and some are delicacies made with foreign tastes in mind. This is not like an imperial meal. All the dishes look like domestic dishes.
And who stipulates that steak is the exclusive property of foreigners? Our ancestors have been eating beef a long time ago. The way to make beef is not only braised beef and spicy beef tendon, but also steak. It’s just that Western food doesn’t have such a good brand. "
Before the waiter could introduce him, Yang Dongxu spoke.
"I've known that China eats beef for a long time, but even if it's done and filmed, that's not how it's done, right?" Du Weiwei was a little unconvinced.
Although she has never eaten state banquet dishes before, why bully her for not eating Western food? It is obviously a dish made with Western food techniques.
"This cooking method does use Western cooking methods, and it is baked with cheese on the outside." Although Yang Dongxu feels that Chinese food is the best.
But I’m not the kind of troll who doesn’t accept that other countries’ food is good and makes random comments about it. Whether the piece of beef in front of him is on a platter or the cooking method is Western-style, he won't just spit for the sake of spitting or tell lies with his eyes open.
"This is indeed more delicious. It's better than the Western steaks I've eaten, and the beef is very tender." Zhang Jing couldn't help but say after cutting a piece of beef and putting it in her mouth.
The second dish was Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, not the kind that comes in a big pot, but a small portion per person in a tableware about the same size as a clay pot of soup.
Although the portion is small, it has everything that should be included, so both the taste and ingredients are very good. After eating, Zhang Jing and Du Weiwei kept nodding and saying it was delicious.
The three women were sitting together talking about losing weight before. Bai Qian said that she had gained weight after giving birth and that she could no longer wear some clothes. Du Weiwei and Zhang Jing also felt a sense of crisis. Although they had not given birth to children, they decided to maintain their figures.
As a result, all weight loss plans have been put aside in front of delicious food.
The third dish is Ruudou Changyu, also called Ruudou eel, which is a long-famous dish in Huaiyang cuisine. This dish was the first hot dish at the first banquet of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, so it is called the first dish of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
In recent years, this dish has been served at many state banquets for foreign guests.
The state banquet chefs invited by the Yang family are among the best in the industry, so this dish really tastes delicious.
The fourth dish is Yangzhou lion head, one for each person. After eating, Yang Dongxu almost couldn't help but add another. It tasted really good, and he drank all the soup and water.
The set menu consists of eight dishes per person, and the portions of each dish are not large, but after finishing the last dish, Wensi Tofu, the three women were already full.
Yang Dongxu was also full, but he felt that there was still something missing, so he stuffed some fruit into his stomach and felt that he had eaten well.
Although I didn’t eat the banquet noodles, each dish was so satisfying. But this kind of set meal can also fill you up, and the taste is no worse than the banquet noodles, so I am very satisfied with this meal.
"How much does this package cost?"
No one wanted to move when they were full. Because they had booked the set meal in advance, Du Weiwei did not look at the menu after arriving at the private room.
At this time, while teasing Xiao Wenwu, Caijia couldn't help but become curious.
After all, the food is so delicious and the service is attentive. The waiter also introduced the dishes in detail. Not only did she eat well, but she also learned a lot of knowledge. Du Weiwei decided to give it a try next time she has time.
