Chapter 880: Palace Banquet at Diaoyutai State Guest House

Located on the east side of Yuyuantan, the imperial capital, there is an ancient royal garden and modern state guesthouse building complex, which is the famous Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. Generally important foreign affairs activities are basically held here, and it is the only super-star hotel. In recent years, the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse has also been opened to the public.

Even if you want to move in, as long as the background review is fine and you can afford to pay, it is fine. Of course, some places still maintain a mysterious color. For example, Yangyuanzhai in Building 18 is not open to the public. General high-end foreign affairs activities are often held here, and a gateway will be added to Building 18.

In the rest of the places, you can go around as long as you enter the gate. This time, Lan Sheng booked a standard state banquet and the house where you ate was lived by the First Lady before.

Lu Ning and others changed their clothes and got on Lan Sheng’s Mercedes-Benz g63    6x6. Very good. This car was saved.

The convoy drove all the way to the western suburbs of the imperial capital. Not to mention, it was not far away. When I arrived at the door, I needed to park and check my ID. However, Lan Sheng and others were obviously regular customers, and they knew the rules very well and solved a lot of trouble.

Diaoyutai State Guesthouse has more than a dozen buildings, which are numbered counterclockwise from the north of the east gate. The environment is elegant and peaceful. The pavilions and pavilions are clear water and red flowers, forests and stone bridges, which are a perfect fusion of classical and modern architectural styles.

If you really want to trace its history, it can be traced back to the Jin Dynasty 800 years ago. At that time, it was called Yuzha Pond, and the water area was very large. Yuyuan Pond and Diaoyutai were not separated. It was a place where Emperor Yuan visited every year.

The oldest emperor in history created many buildings here, including Yangyuanzhai, Tongle Palace, Qingde Dew Soak, etc., which made it even more beautiful. The appearance of the building is still a pure palace structure, with yellow glazed tiles on the roof and green painted pillars surrounding the carved beams, magnificent everywhere, and gold and jade are shining together.

Lu Ning and others got off the car and walked. Even Lu Ning had to sigh that the environment here is in harmony with the past and present, and it is a perfect match. There are dense ancient trees, gurgling water, and secluded stone bridges and paths, just like a fairyland on earth.

"These ancients will enjoy it." Lu Ning looked all the way and sighed.

"No, brother-in-law, you don't know that at that time, I tried my best to collect valuable cultural relics from all generations, including calligraphy, painting, cultural relics, and traditional ancient furniture. The things here are all authentic." Lan Sheng added.

As for the cuisines of the fishing restaurant, it has a wide range of eight major cuisines, and it contains the essence of dishes from many countries around the world. From palace dishes to folk snacks, it forms a very distinctive feature: fresh and elegant, pure and timeless.

This time, what Lu Ning and others want to try is a unique "palace banquet", which is also the most distinctive dish at Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

The reception room and the banquet hall were both grand, and there were three waiters waiting at the door. All the Chinese paintings in the reception room and the banquet hall were authentic. Lu Ning and others divided the two tables, which were not crowded at all.

The standard for a "court banquet" is RMB 4,000 per person. In terms of price, it is indeed not cheap. However, it is fair to be able to eat in such an environment. The only surprise is that it is actually provided with 30 years of cellaring Maotai, which is also an unexpected surprise and a blessing for those who love wine.

Lu Ning directly ordered 20 boxes, a total of 120 bottles, and a price of 12,000 yuan per bottle was awesome, which scared everyone. The last drunk experience was still in front of me, and I was about to die of drinking again. For a moment, I was a little shivering.

Zheng Jun also arrived. Before, he was helping Lu Ning find a suitable courtyard house. Besides, with Zheng Jun's physical fitness, it is basically useless to go on stage. He said that drinking can still work hard. However, facing these 120 bottles of Moutai, Zheng Jun was also a little stunned and looked at Lu Ning with fear.

"I said brother-in-law, I know you can drink, so I don't have to take such a big formation. My heart is pounding. I really want to drink me to death, but no one will help you find the Siheyuan."

At this time, Lu Ning realized why everyone looked a little ugly: "What are you thinking about? I packed it and took it away. It is rare to meet good wine. Today everyone is free, so I'm very happy."

When everyone heard Lu Ning's words, they felt relieved. Lu Ning was actually the most cowardly one. There was no skill to use today. They were all in the cooling stage. If they drink today, they would definitely be slacking off. Fortunately, they shocked everyone before.

At least, no one dares to seek death without eyes, and they have a great time to eat. The "Prefecture Banquet" at Diaoyutai State Guesthouse actually has two famous dishes: braised shark fin and clear soup and swallows. However, Lu Ning always feels that it is not as good as Lanting's private kitchen.

He told Lan Fei about his thoughts, and Lan Fei smiled slightly: "The chef who makes braised shark fin and clear soup and deer are Chef Tan's apprentice. You said that the apprentice is so good than the master, and the ingredients they use are not the best Tianjiu fin, which is almost normal." Lan Fei explained with a smile that Tianjiu fin is hard to come by, and Lan Ting's private kitchen has not much inventory. It is no longer available for sale now. Instead, it has been replaced by a second-level, namely Lu Ning, who can still eat the authentic braised Tianjiu fin. Others can't even pay for it.

"No wonder, I just said that although the taste is close, I always feel like I lack soul." It seems that Master Tan's apprentice has not learned the essence yet.

When talking about this, the other second generations were unhappy.

"Sister Lan, you are a full man and don't know that the hungry man is hungry. Since you took Master Tan away from the Imperial Capital Hotel, we have never eaten authentic braised shark fin and clear soup and swallows. We have a hard life." This passage was also deeply recognized by everyone present.

Not to mention these younger generations, it is a pity for the previous generation to be the last generation. Tsk tsk, Lan Fei has cut off many hobbies, that is, the previous generation just doesn’t care about Lan Fei.

Lan Fei smiled slightly and did not refute it. This was the case, so she gave everyone a cup of money, which was considered a pity.

"Everyone, don't talk about this. Today, we should all give my brother-in-law a cup. It's not him. Today we have completely lost. We all lost because of our brother-in-law." Lan Sheng's proposal was supported by everyone. Indeed, everyone has already lost today, and it is not Lu Ning's brave performance. It's a shame that he is a loss.
