Chapter 131 Can I have another one?
Diaoyutai State Guesthouse!
Su Chen saw the huge, solemn archway with a strong historical flavor through the car window, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
That's right, excitement.
In Su Chen's impression, Diaoyutai State Guesthouse and State Guesthouse are places used exclusively for receiving important foreign guests.
When I watched the news in the past, I often heard that bigwigs, high-ranking officials from certain countries were received at Diaoyutai.
Su Chen once fantasized about having a meal at the State Guesthouse, and today he finally fulfilled his childhood dream.
Just as Chen Fei was about to drive in in his Rolls-Royce, he was stopped by the guard at the door.
A standard salute
"Hello sir, please show me your State Guest House vehicle pass!"
Just when Su Chen was puzzled, he saw Chen Fei looking at Jiang Yang who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"Brother Yang, your ID!"
Jiang Yang fumbled around on his body for a while, then took out a small red notebook and handed it to Chen Fei.
Chen Fei took it and handed it over.
Looking at the familiar operations of the two people, Su Chen couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Did these two people come here often before?
Su Chen figured it out after a little thought. Chen Fei and Jiang Yang knew each other before, and since Chen Fei often followed Xiao Chen, it was reasonable for him to come here to eat.
At this time, Jiang Yang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also leaned his head towards the back seat and asked, "Lao Su, are you interested in applying for a special pass to the State Guesthouse?"
"Hmm? Special pass?"
"Can I?"
Su Chen's heart was instantly moved. This is the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. Isn't it more advanced than those five-star hotels outside?
"Why not? The State Guest House has been open to the public for a long time. Of course, ordinary people can't enter!"
Su Chen also understood the meaning of this sentence. Even if it was open to the public, this place was still a place to receive foreign guests, and not everyone could come here to eat.
A pass alone is enough to stop most people.
"Okay, please help me get one when you have time!"
While the two were talking, the guard finished checking their IDs and waved his hand, and the access control panel in front of the car opened.
A Rolls-Royce and two Red Flag sedans drove in one after another. As for the other Red Flag sedans carrying cultural relics, they had already gone directly to the National Museum.
As soon as the car entered the State Guesthouse, Fade Chen asked, "Brother Yang, which building are we going to?"
"7th floor!"
Hearing this, Su Chen became a little curious. Are there different buildings in the State Guesthouse?
Then Su Chen expressed his doubts.
"In addition to Yangyuanzhai and Yuyuan, the entire state guesthouse has sixteen buildings, fourteen of which are numbered. The other two are Bafangyuan and Fangfeiyuan, which replace No. 4 and No. 17!"
"Also, there is no Building No. 1 in the State Guesthouse!"
"There is no Building No. 1? Why?" Before Su Chen could speak, Shulaya, who was sitting next to him, asked curiously.
On the way here, she also learned about the history of the State Guesthouse from Su Chen and others. She knew that this was a place specifically for receiving heads of state. When she learned that she was going to stay here, it was such a surprise.
When Su Chen and the others were chatting, she pricked up her ears and listened very carefully.
Jiang Yang glanced at Shulaya and explained with a smile, "Because one represents the most important. If there is Building No. 1, does it mean a difference? If the head of state of this country has stayed in Building No. 1, but the other one has not, it will cause misunderstandings and people will think that we don't value them."
“So, in order to avoid such a thing from happening, Building No. 1 was cancelled at the beginning of construction!
"And the building we are going to now is Building No. 7, which has a very European style interior. Considering that Miss Shulaya is Gaul, we arranged her to stay in Building No. 7, so that Miss Shulaya can live comfortably!"
Shulaya didn't expect them to consider it so carefully, and said sincerely: "Mr. Jiang, thank you for your trouble!"
"Hahahaha~ This is what we should do!"
After all, the Arnault family donated so many cultural relics for free. What would people abroad think if they didn't arrange a high-standard reception?
Only by letting those wealthy families see how well the Arnault family is treated can we let more people who are willing to donate see how we treat our "friends" in subsequent publicity.
Soon the car stopped at Building No. 7 and several uniformed waiters came to greet us.
Those who open the car door open the door, and those who carry the suitcase carry the suitcase, and they all have their own division of labor.
When he arrived at the presidential suite reserved for Shulaya, Su Chen realized that the presidential suites he had stayed in before were just younger versions.
After a brief tour, Su Chen looked at the time and saw that it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. He immediately said, "Shulaya, take a rest first. I'll call you when it's time for dinner!"
"Okay, Mr. Su!" After sitting on the plane for more than ten hours, Shulaya was indeed a little tired.
After leaving the room, Jiang Yang took him upstairs.
Just when Su Chen was wondering, he saw Jiang Yang take out a room card from his pocket and open a door to a room that was the same presidential suite that Shuraya had stayed in before.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Lao Jiang, you really are enjoying it!"
"Enjoy it, this is arranged for you!" Jiang Yang said with a pout.
"Give it to me?" Su Chen understood instantly that this was to make it easier for him to work like a beast of burden.
"You guys really have a good plan. You want to bribe me with just a presidential suite in a state guesthouse? How is that possible!"
Although he said he was unwilling, Su Chen went straight to the master bedroom, and lay down on the huge bed in the room. "Hey, the bed in this State Guest House is so comfortable to sleep on!" "The chefs in the State Guest House are all top-notch chefs in the country, covering a total of eight cuisines. Don't you want to try the delicacies of these cuisines?" Jiang Yang said with a smile, leaning against the door frame.
Su Chen, a top chef of eight cuisines, admitted that he was tempted by the delicious food.
What comes to mind are state banquet delicacies such as boiled cabbage, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Wensi tofu, chicken tofu pudding, etc.
If you want to eat any state banquet dishes, you can openly order what you like.
If anyone asks, just say Shuraya wants to try it, definitely not him.
"Come back to your senses. Your saliva will almost drip if you keep thinking about it!" Jiang Yang's words pulled Su Chen back from his fantasy.
"Who's drooling!" Su Chen gave him an unpleasant look, "By the way, Lao Jiang, do you know what to eat tonight? Ask the kitchen if they can prepare Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!"
"If you don't have that, you can also prepare boiled cabbage, or even soft-shelled long fish!"
When Jiang Yang heard the names of these delicacies, he turned around and left without even looking at Su Chen.
"Tsk~" Su Chen also knew that this would definitely not happen at night.
It’s not that the chefs at the State Guesthouse can’t make these delicacies, but the chefs only start making these dishes after they are ordered in advance, ensuring that every dish tastes the freshest when it is delivered to the guests.
You have to know that Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and Boiled Cabbage take several hours to cook. How can you possibly get them if you want to eat them at the last minute?
Su Chen was just asking with the attitude of giving it a try, just in case!
-
In Building No. 7, Su Chen and Shulaya were sitting leisurely in the private room on the second floor. As for Jiang Yang, he received a call at dinner time, saying that he had something to deal with.
When he left, he also took Chen Fei away, asking him to go and help!
"Mr. Su, is this the famous Imperial Capital Roast Duck?"
Shulaya was so curious as she watched the chef use his superb knife skills to slice the duck meat off the roast duck piece by piece.
Taking pictures non-stop with my mobile phone.
"Yes, this is Imperial Capital Roast Duck!"
Su Chen did not expect that the dinner would be roast duck. Of course, it was not just roast duck, there were also several other side dishes.
It was not much different from the Quanjude he had ordered to his home before. At first, Su Chen thought it was the Quanjude stall in the State Guesthouse.
"Huh? Master, don't you need to separate the skin and the meat?" Su Chen suddenly found that the method of slicing roast duck was somewhat different from the one he had eaten at Quanjude before.
Quanjude’s roast duck always has the burnt skin on the surface cut off and used separately.
The ones in the State Guesthouse have the skin and the flesh connected together.
"No need to separate them, this is our traditional way of eating, with crispy skin, tender meat and lots of juicy soup!"
"A pancake with five pieces of duck meat, topped with scallion, cucumber strips and sweet noodle sauce, the taste is also amazing!"
Since the chef said so, it must be delicious. If it was not delicious, the chef would have been replaced long ago. You have to know that this is the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse and any mistake in the food can have a big impact.
Of course, we want to ensure that the food is the most delicious.
Su Chen put on gloves, picked up a pancake, and followed the instructions of the duck chef to wrap one for himself.
After two bites, the crispness, fragrance, tenderness and juice of the duck, the freshness of the cucumber and the taste of the sweet noodle sauce blended perfectly together. Su Chen couldn't help but pack another one for himself.
Shuraya, who was standing next to him, was so anxious.
"Mr. Su, I want to eat too!"
When Su Chen heard Shulaya's voice, he remembered her.
Su Chen was not embarrassed and said with a smile: "Come, follow me and learn. It's very simple."
This time he moved much slower and also explained it to Shuraya.
Shulaya learned very quickly. After watching Su Chen wrap it twice, she started to learn it very well.
"Hmm~ delicious!" Shulaya said with shining eyes.
This flavor was something she had never tried before. After eating one, she was still thinking about the second one.
Shulaya's movements became more and more skillful, and soon the two of them finished a roast duck. Su Chen was so full that he leaned back in his chair.
"Mr. Susu!" Shulaya called softly.
"Huh? What's wrong, Shulaya!" Su Chen tilted his head and looked at her with a somewhat puzzled look.
Shulaya's head drooped slightly, not daring to meet Su Chen's gaze. Her pretty face flushed, and she bit her lips lightly with her white teeth. She whispered in an embarrassed tone, "Can I have another roast duck?"
"Ah~" Su Chen was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that this skinny girl could eat so much!
Hearing Su Chen's surprise, Shulaya became even more embarrassed.
"No problem, I'll arrange it right away!"
After saying that, he gave a look to the roast duck chef, who was very sensible and contacted the kitchen to send one over urgently.
Next, Shulaya let Su Chen see what it meant to have a small body and a big belly!
Shulaya ate almost three quarters of the second roast duck by herself, and Su Chen reluctantly finished the remaining quarter in accordance with the principle of not wasting anything.
When the two returned to the room, they both had big bellies.
At last Shulaya said that there was no way to deal with Su Chen.
"Mr. Su, let's go eat soy milk tomorrow!"
