I want to ruin the country
Chapter 370 The Most Luxurious Royal Hotel
Today's banquet is a simplified version of the Manchu-Han Banquet. Each table has eight cold dishes, twenty-eight main dishes, and six soups.
The chefs in charge of cooking all came from the imperial kitchen of the palace, so of course their skills are top-notch.
Today's guests were truly enlightened and had the opportunity to taste the authentic imperial banquet that was both delicious and eye-catching.
Not to mention alcohol, there are all kinds of famous liquors and drinks from all over the country.
Wu Meiling's father, Wu Chongzhi, was sitting at the main table. Yining wanted him to take the main seat, but Wu Chongzhi was almost scared to death and didn't dare to say anything.
Yining had no choice but to take the main position
At the table were Yining, Lin Zexu, Du Shoutian, Chen Fuen, Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Wenqing and Zhang Xiang and his wife, exactly ten people.
The emperor accompanied him, the chief minister Lin Zexu poured him wine, and the emperor's teacher Du Shoutian served him food, which made Wu Chongzhi flattered!
At first his legs were shaking and he kept thinking about kneeling down to the emperor.
Yining smiled and said,
"Master Wu, today is a great day for your daughter. Without her, there would be no such happy event.
Water has a source and trees have roots. Without you, there would be no her. The water cannot overflow the bridge. You earn this by raising your daughter!
You are today's most distinguished guest. We are all here to accompany you. If you eat and drink well, our mission will be complete!"
Seeing that the emperor was so approachable and his explanations were so clear and thorough, Wu Chongzhi gradually became cheerful and talkative.
My daughter has good vision and found a son-in-law who is the second smartest in the world, which makes me so proud.
How can he be the second smartest son-in-law in the world? Because the smartest one is the emperor.
Let alone anything else, even the flush toilet invented by the emperor, has anyone seen it?
Every rich family has a toilet, but that thing can't stop the stench.
This one is different. There is no smell when you sit on it. When you are done, you just press it and it rushes away with a "splash". What's wrong with the emperor's brain?
However, my son-in-law is not bad. If he hadn't invented electricity, there would be no use having a flush toilet. How would the water come up to such a tall building?
The second table was for the bride's family, including Wu Meiling's mother and brothers and sisters.
Li Shanlan and others were arranged at the third table, and Peng Yunzhang, Ruijin, Su Shun, Du Han and others accompanied them.
On this occasion today, Li Shanlan and the others felt the emperor's love for talents by arranging them to sit at the third table.
Since the emperor values us so much, we should use what we have learned in our lives to serve the country and work hard until our death!
The banquet lasted for three hours. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much and both the guests and hosts were very happy.
After dinner, Wenqing announced that the Royal Hotel was open to all guests today and they could visit freely.
Even the souvenir shop on the first floor, which will not be open to Chinese people in the future, can be visited today for shopping, with prices 30% off.
Zhang Xiang and his bride returned to the bridal chamber, while the others looked around the hotel carefully.
There are three floors above the banquet hall in the front building, all of which are single rooms of different sizes.
There are rooms ranging from several hundred square meters that can accommodate small banquets to rooms that can only seat one table.
No matter which room it is, it is decorated very luxuriously!
The dining table and chairs are made of mahogany, and the tableware is custom-made in Jingdezhen, all printed with the name and logo of the Royal Hotel.
Even the chopsticks are made of ivory!
The building behind has one underground floor and nine floors above ground.
The height is 33 meters, the span from north to south is 25 meters, and the length from east to west is 150 meters.
The entire building above the second floor is composed of guest rooms, ranging from presidential suites to ordinary single rooms.
There are a total of 550 guest rooms, each with an independent bathroom, and the rooms are decorated in the utmost luxury.
Yining told everyone that this hotel can be said to be the most luxurious hotel in the world, without a doubt, and construction will continue.
Many people have never been to the palace and don’t know how luxurious it is.
Yining told them that the presidential suite here is even more luxurious and of higher quality than that in the imperial palace.
At least there is electricity here, while the palace still uses candles for lighting.
And there are flush toilets here, which are not found in the palace.
After the visit, the celebrities, wealthy businessmen and businessmen in the capital were extremely amazed. Even though they were well-informed, they had never seen such an advanced and luxurious hotel.
You can’t enter the palace yourself, and you can’t see what the emperor’s house looks like, but there are houses here that are even more luxurious than the one the emperor lives in.
This is a great thing, and everyone is eager to try it out!
Just wanting to eat, stay and spend money here is not enough, as this place is not open to non-members.
If you want to make purchases, you must first apply for a membership card, which costs one thousand and two taels of silver.
Moreover, the hotel has a rule that the money in this card cannot be moved, which means that normal consumption cannot be deducted from the card.
You can only withdraw the one thousand taels of silver when you want to withdraw from the membership.
One thousand taels is just one thousand taels, no big deal. People without money may think that one thousand taels is an astronomical figure, but in the hands of rich people, it is nothing at all.
Besides, they usually eat out in restaurants, so it doesn’t matter where the money is spent!
If you have anything to do, you can set up a table here to feel very proud. Even if you have a happy event at home, you can hold it here like Consultant Zhang did, and it saves a lot of trouble!
Everyone contributed money, you got one, he got one.
All things are difficult at the beginning, and they are never finished once they begin.
With someone taking the lead, people lined up to apply for cards, and before dark, more than 500 cards were sold.
Yining kept his word and gave Lin Zexu, Du Shoutian and Chen Fuen a free card each.
As long as they come to consume, everything is free.
Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Wenqing, Senglinqin (who had not returned from suppressing bandits), Ruijin, Peng Yunzhang, and Du Han were given 70% off cards, which were basically at cost price, without even any service fees.
As for Zhang Xiang and the others, Yining said that your reception will be held at the Royal Restaurant and all expenses will be reimbursed.
Yining knew that people like Li Shanlan, Chen Shou and Hua Hengfang would not have time to eat and drink every day because their attention was all on science!
Even if these people do it every day, it is reasonable. The value they create for society is much greater than that of a military minister.
Their contribution can exceed that of a million soldiers!
Anyone can be trained to become a Grand Councilor, but to be a scientist one must rely on talent. Compared to talent, acquired efforts are simply not worth mentioning!
Therefore, these scientists should be respected to the highest standards!
Yining doesn’t care how much money they spend!
Wen Qing was so happy after selling it for more than 50,000 taels of silver. He had made his money back in one go!
It only cost 50,000 silver coins to build this royal restaurant. The emperor is really a genius in business!
Although he has plenty of money now, he still can't help but feel excited and his hands tremble because he makes money so quickly.
