Jiufuli does have one hotel-style club, and that’s Ha Ching Haiyan.
In terms of style, it is relatively similar to the Han and Tang Club that Yin Lian is planning to prepare but has not yet officially named it. It is also in a retro style, but it is not as thorough as Yin Lian's.
Yin Lian knew all its subsequent operations, development routes and influence. She knew Qiu Bihe's abilities, his ambition and strength.
But Yin Lian is not afraid.
She was destined to seek justice for herself. She was destined to find a target for revenge.
People who have never experienced it will not understand that feeling, a childhood with almost no sense of happiness, a girlhood that never has the leisure to feel the love of love...the unbearable father's mercy...and the mother's love and kiss.
The happier this life is, the more Yin Lian feels the sadness of her previous life.
She felt that someone had to take responsibility for this matter, and Qiu Bihe was the most natural choice.
If it was Yin Lian from the previous life who knew the truth about this matter, he might be willing to risk everything for revenge. But in this life, she cherishes herself very much... Because she is loved and because she has a lot, Yin Lian learned how to love herself.
Because of this love for herself, Yin Lian will not bet easily, let alone bet on herself. After having such an idea, Yin Lian did not plan to go too far this time. She only planned to attack the other party in business. It was best to let the other party suffer the pain of being beaten to the dust along the way, in order to alleviate her resentment a little.
Even if Qiu Bihe has thoughts about Yin Huai but cannot love her, what does it have to do with her? ? She was just a little baby at that time, why should she suffer like this in an adult battle?
Because of this thought, Yin Lian did not feel any pity or intolerance for Qiu Bihe. In fact, Yin Lian still had a good impression of Qiu Bihe in his previous life, but this good impression could not cover up the strong anger that filled his heart when he heard the truth.
So Yin Lian decided to pay back a hundredfold.
And this first step is to make He Qing Haiyan unable to operate.
In some novels or idol dramas, it often appears that someone is powerful, has many friends, and can easily bring a store back to life. However, Yin Lian knew that in reality, only income was the foundation of a store, and no matter how strong the financial strength was, it could not withstand long-term losses or insolvency.
Qiu Bi has many friends, but these friends also follow the trend. If they can get better enjoyment, the friendship cannot keep them.
With this idea in mind, Yin Lian completed the decoration and layout of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
She was very sure that Qiu Bihe could not beat her in the catering industry because she had the best purchasing channels and the highest quality ingredients. On this basis, she is not afraid of competing for taste, marketing, and service. The next thing to look at is personal methods.
He Qing Haiyan's name is very popular, so Yin Lian also spent a lot of effort to name his restaurant, but the final name was Tang Gong Han Yue. This was not a deliberate attempt to compete, but to more clearly highlight the characteristics of the restaurant.
The entire Tang Palace Hanyue occupies a large area. It is an old-style mansion that was purchased and renovated. The mansion is not that old, and fortunately it is not included in the list of protected cultural relics, but because of the location, the price is definitely not low.
The restaurant's funds were not enough to buy this mansion in the center of Yanjing, so Yin Lian spent her own money to buy the mansion privately and then leased it to the company. After acquiring the house, Hu Yuze carefully built it. He did not deliberately restore it into an ancient house, but only renovated it in an antique style, retaining the antique style but making substantial modifications.
The old house is not that old, and it is naturally built in the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. However, Hu Yuze used a series of means to transform it into a style closer to the Han and Tang Dynasties, making it look more spacious and majestic. The furniture has also been redesigned. In addition to the general retro-style handicrafts, some antiques that are not too outrageous in price have also been slightly arranged to enhance the overall style.
The house is not completely retro. While maintaining a unified style, it also considers various conveniences of use. For example, the bathroom has been given a modern antique treatment. In the bathroom built with imitation jade materials, the faucet is directly designed in the form of a sculpture, with a maid carrying a jade basin and a maid carrying a kettle. Want to fall. After using heat sensing technology, it looks like two beautiful ladies are serving you to wash your hands.
It can be said that every detail is taken care of.
But the most important thing is personnel training.
The first requirement for the waiters Hu Yuze recruited for Tang Palace Hanyue was that the waiters could recite more than 300 classic poems on the spot and be able to casually recite at least 50 classic historical allusions. But he is not satisfied with this alone. In the subsequent training, he will also ask specialized historians to teach the waiters a lot of historical knowledge, learn various retro etiquette, and ensure that the waiters can follow the instructions. Situations use poetic allusions naturally in conversation.
The purpose of this is to let the guests truly feel the cultural quality of the waiters and experience the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition to the waiters, Hu Yuze also prepared other parts very carefully, such as the specialized tea doctor, storyteller, Hu Jiwu, etc. Hu Yuze conducted careful selection and training. Of course, just the Hu Xuan dance may not be that interesting, so there will also be some inserted short dramas in the middle. Yin Lian hired specialized personnel to write it, making sure to be retro but still able to capture the laughter of modern people.
In addition, waiters must be proficient in the playing rules of various ancient games. The restaurant will also prepare some props for noble games from the Han and Tang Dynasties, allowing guests to participate at any time.
…
Such complicated preparations have obvious effects.
On the opening day of the Tang Palace, most of the guests were specially invited by Yin Lian. Some of the guests were not familiar to Yin Lian at all, but invitations were handed out through some roundabout channels - many of these people were friends of Qiu Bihe, and He Qing Haiyan's regular customers later.
Yin Lian sent out the invitation purely out of luck, but when it officially opened, several people actually showed up.
Apart from these, the other guests requested by Yin Lian are all important figures in Yanjing, and they are also people who Yin Lian is quite sure to contact or invite through various channels.
On the day of the opening, Yin Lian asked the waiter to guide these customers to stay with customers they knew personally based on the list she had given in advance.
Before the banquet even started, many guests were stunned as soon as they entered the lobby. It turns out that Hu Yuze's hall was greatly widened after the lobby was renovated. Immediately after entering the door, there is a stage without a foundation, and tables are placed on both sides, and even the second floor is completely filled with various tables.
In the center of the stage, five dancers, wearing extremely gorgeous dance skirts with a Han and Tang style, were dancing the Hu Xuan dance happily.
The guests were stunned for a moment when they looked at the scene in the lobby that looked exactly like a TV series, but was even more exquisite and gorgeous than in the TV series. One of them, a middle-aged man, glanced at the dancing Orchids thoughtfully and said, "...Interesting."
Because he was a specially invited guest, the waiter naturally took him to a private room in the backyard. But the guest asked him: "Is there no room here?"
The waiter smiled and replied: "Sir, spring flowers, autumn moon, peonies, plums and chrysanthemums all have their own advantages. Our front hall and backyard also have their own advantages. Sir, maybe you can take a look at the scenery in the backyard before making a decision. .”
The guest thought for a while, followed his instructions, and followed him to the backyard.
As a result, before reaching the backyard, I saw a meandering water bottle. It turns out that a space was opened up in the backyard. I don't know if it existed originally or was transplanted. It was filled with tall banyan trees. There is a pond between the banyan trees. It should not be naturally formed, but it is designed to be very natural and exquisite, and it does not look out of place. A water channel spreads out on one side of the pond, with large round stones on both sides. On the outside are the low food tables and cushions from the Han and Tang Dynasties, which are full of antique flavor.
However, at this time, all the food tables were occupied by customers, the environment was quite noisy, and the crowd felt a little too excited. There was a maid dressed in ancient style standing aside, seemingly presiding over some activity.
The long skirt was cumbersome and it was close to the water. The guest thought that this was not a suitable posture for serving others, but he laughed when he took a closer look. It turns out that although these maids were wearing long skirts, they had a thin leather coat with imitation embroidered dark patterns on the outside. It seemed to function as a raincoat, at least it would never actually cause the clothes to get wet.
Seeing that the guests were paying attention to the situation, the waiter said: "This is an activity in the museum. The gameplay is relatively antique, but it is a little different from the real ancient gameplay. In ancient times, you usually had to compose poems to play this, but here we have , you can tell stories and sing songs as you like, if you are not happy with it, you can also order a waiter to perform, or order a meal to entertain everyone."
The customer listened and smiled, feeling that the boss here had some ideas.
Although this was quite interesting, he did not stop this time, but continued walking inside. At this time, he was no longer eager to experience some of the arrangements in this restaurant. Instead, he wanted to see how many tricks the owner of this restaurant could play.
Entering a private room all the way, he saw an acquaintance, but was stunned for a moment before smiling and saying hello.
When he sat down at the table, he took a look at the surrounding environment, and found that the small hall was elegantly furnished, and there was even a Duobaoge and a cushion that looked like a small stage.
Just as I was thinking about it, the waiter had already handed over the menu.
The menu design was quite antique. What surprised the man was that in addition to the various categories of dishes found in ordinary restaurants, half of the menu had nothing to do with the dishes at all and were extra items.
These include "storytelling", "playing the piano", "singing music", etc. The price of a program can easily reach four figures. Correspondingly, the other part of the content is much cheaper, such as "tea fighting", "wine order", etc., the prices are relatively more harmonious.
The customer was curious and found that there were many subdivisions under the drinking order, with different prices and a brief introduction to the rules, so he casually ordered one.
When his friend saw it, he laughed and said, "Don't order it, someone has already ordered it. When the table starts later, the waiter said he will bring it up together."
Then before the banquet started, the waiter actually brought a box, and when he opened it, it revealed a set of beautifully crafted tokens. A group of diners picked it up to check and fumble around, only to find that it should be a plastic product made of very good material, but there was a sound of gold and jade when they were knocked. It was obviously very beautifully made.
There are various pictures and inscriptions on the cards, as well as various drinking orders, which is quite surprising to people who have almost never been exposed to this kind of ancient activities.
A group of people discussed giving it a try.
Just at this time, the banquet also started, and the first thing served were four cold dishes. Yin Lian's recipe for the opening ceremony of the Han Dynasty in the Tang Palace is a replica of the famous Tang Dynasty banquet Shaowei Banquet. There are many kinds of dishes in the Shaowei Banquet, and the dishes are extravagant, and many of them have been lost. Yin Lian just asked people to restore and improve them based on the descriptions in the book, and finally selected some dishes for cooking.
Among them, there are famous dishes such as Xiaotiansu, Jinyuguo, Touchun, Hangongqi, Jinlingzhi, etc., which are very beautiful in name and attractive in appearance.
