Chapter 1262: Three swords and one axe
"Okay, let's eat seafood. Longquan, which place in the capital is more famous for seafood?" Jiang Xiaobai looked back at Li Longquan and asked.
"Is seafood more famous?" This question really stumped Li Longquan. He doesn't like seafood.
What I usually eat the most are stir-fried vegetables and hot pot. As for other dishes, I eat very little, and the most is Cantonese food.
Cantonese cuisine was very popular in Beijing at this time. In the 1990s, the most high-end cuisine in the hearts of people in Beijing was Cantonese cuisine.
Cantonese restaurants at this time are much more Western-style. Even if you order a bullfrog, there will always be a waiter carrying a small bucket to bring it to you.
As for seafood, he doesn't like that one at all.
"I know." Zhao Xiaojin, who was standing next to him, raised his hand and said, "There is a legend in the capital about "three swords and one axe"."
"Three swords and one axe, the Black Society? The Knife Club, the Flying Knife Society, the Ax Gang?" Jiang Xiaobai looked confused, this sounded like the Black Society.
"What?" Zhao Xiaojin glanced at Jiang Xiaobai and said: "Three swords and one ax refer to places to eat. These places are very expensive. Among the three swords are Mingzhu Seafood in Di'anmen and the big restaurant next to Jingshan.
Sanyuan Restaurant, Fei Niu Hotpot north of Oriental Hotel on Luomashi Street, Xiangjiang Food City in Wangfujing and Shunfeng at the Agricultural Exhibition Hall.”
"Where's the axe?" Jiang Xiaobai asked with interest. This was the first time he had heard of such a saying.
It probably started in the past two years. He remembered that there was no such thing when he was in school.
"Shanfu Restaurant in Jishuitan." Zhang Ting answered quickly.
"Haha, it seems that Three Swords and One Ax is quite famous, so let's go to this Three Swords and One Ax Pearl Seafood."
Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking with a smile, then turned around and got in the car.
Don’t underestimate the prices at this time. Other industries are a little better. For places like restaurants, there is no upper limit. A meal can cost a few yuan, a dozen yuan, a few hundred yuan, or even thousands.
, thousands of dollars...
Yes, you heard it right, at this time, a meal costing thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan is equivalent to eating up the income of an ordinary family for a year or even several years.
"It's very expensive." Zhang Ting muttered quietly as she got into the car behind her.
"It's okay, the big boss is here to treat us." Zhao Xiaojin said with a smile.
She has also seen the world with Jiang Xiaobai, and has also eaten at state banquets. Anyway, given the current economic situation of Huaqing Holdings Company, no matter where she eats, there is nothing that can make Jiang Xiaobai feel distressed.
The car quickly stopped at Mingzhu Seafood Restaurant. One look at the cars parked in front of the restaurant, and I knew that this place was a bit rich or expensive.
Red Xiali cars, Santana, Crown, and even a square Mercedes-Benz were seen by Jiang Xiaobai.
Hu Touben was an absolute luxury car at this time, and it cost more than one million to bring it from abroad.
It can be regarded as a classic of the Mercedes-Benz generation in the hearts of Chinese people, with its head running like a tiger.
Driving a BMW and riding a Mercedes-Benz also came from this time.
In comparison, Jiang Xiaobai's Crown car can only be regarded as average.
It was a nice car, so a few people got out and walked towards the hotel.
"Welcome." There was a waiter at the door of the hotel.
This is a bit interesting. It is definitely rare to have a waiter at the entrance of the store at this time.
"Gentlemen, are you in the lobby or in a private room?" The waiter led Jiang Xiaobai and others inside.
"Let's take a private room, keep it clean," Jiang Xiaobai said.
"OK."
After taking a few steps, someone came face to face. Jiang Xiaobai rubbed his eyes and walked over quickly.
"Director Jiang?"
"It's Mr. Liu from Beijing Tianxiang Trading. He came here when the satellite company opened." Zhao Xiaojin reminded Jiang Xiaobai in a low voice.
"Mr. Liu." Jiang Xiaobai shook hands with the man.
"Dr. Jiang, I didn't expect to see you here. Are you here for dinner?"
"This point is obvious, isn't it?" Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, you see my stupidity, it's fate that we get together, so be it, Director Jiang, I will be the host tonight, please..." Mr. Liu made an invitation.
"Forget it, you are busy entertaining your guests. Come over for a drink later. I'll treat you another day when I have time," Jiang Xiaobai said.
"Okay." Mr. Liu heard the rejection in Jiang Xiaobai's words and didn't care. This is normal.
Jiang Xiaobai can afford to miss his own meal. If he wants to eat, he can book it in this restaurant.
The waiter took Jiang Xiaobai and continued to walk to the private room, but he was muttering in his heart.
This young man has a good background. Mr. Liu is a frequent visitor here. He is worth a lot and belongs to the group of people with the highest status here.
But I didn't expect that when talking to this young man, he obviously placed himself in a very low position.
With the appearance of a big boss, the waiter came to a conclusion in his mind.
After sending Jiang Xiaobai and others to the door of the private room, Mr. Liu turned around and left.
Zhang Ting knew it in her heart. Although Jiang Xiaobai didn't know the "three swords and one ax" in Beijing, she could definitely afford it.
When he came here, he actually met an acquaintance, and someone wanted to treat him to dinner.
Jiang Xiaobai asked the waiter to hand the menu to Zhang Ting. Zhang Ting looked at the prices and didn't dare to order at all.
In the end, it was Zhao Xiaojin’s order.
Mr. Liu also invited people to dinner. After returning to the private room, the guest joked: "Mr. Liu went to the toilet or to avoid drinking. If he didn't come back for so long, I thought Mr. Liu fell into the toilet."
"Hahaha." The people in the box laughed. Mr. Liu was not angry and said with a smile: "No, I met an acquaintance and went to toast him with a drink later."
"What acquaintance?"
"Jiang Xiaobai, Jiang Xiaobai from Huaqing Holding Company." Mr. Liu said.
"Really, Jiang Xiaobai is here?"
"Jiang Xiaobai?" People in the private room exclaimed in surprise.
Mingzhu Seafood Restaurant is still very popular among the "big money" in Beijing.
However, there is still a big gap between Da Fang and Jiang Xiaobai.
If a family has one hundred thousand yuan, if they have hundreds of thousands at this time, they can be considered wealthy.
As for Jiang Xiaobai's level, they are still far behind.
For example, a person with a net worth of 100,000 yuan is only famous in his own alley, while a person with a net worth of 100,000 yuan may be famous in a street or a district.
While tens of thousands of people are famous in the capital, Jiang Xiaobai is famous throughout the country.
"Yes, we met, so we chatted for a few more words." Mr. Liu looked indifferent and calm.
However, it immediately raised his profile and they were willing to chat with Jiang Xiaobai for a few more words.
"Mr. Liu knows Jiang Xiaobai. Can you take us with you when you go over to toast later? I also want to get to know Jiang Xiaobai..."
