Chapter 61 The Old Man Begging for a Drink
The other posters nodded readily in agreement.
Only the original owner of Hollywood Road smiled and declined, "Ms. Jun, I have to catch a flight, so I won't go. I am in a hurry to go home and pack my things. We will meet again in the future."
Junning didn't force himself, and smiled back at him, "Okay, then we'll meet again if we are destined. I wish you a safe journey!"
Everyone also wished him "bon voyage."
The original owner of Hollywood Road smiled and bowed his hands to everyone, "Thank you, thank you all, I'm leaving now, see you later, bye."
"Bye~"
After everyone watched the original landlord of Hollywood Road leave, Junning asked them, "Where do you want to eat? How about we go to the Peninsula Hotel?"
The Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong City opened in 1928 and has remained very famous until later generations. It is not only one of the most luxurious hotels in Hong Kong City, but also one of the most famous hotels in the world.
Junning in the last days has naturally visited this famous hotel.
But Junning in this life has not come yet.
She also wanted to see what was different about the Peninsula Hotel in this era.
When the others heard that they were going to the Peninsula Hotel for dinner, this was the most upscale hotel and also represented the greatest sincerity of Junning's treat. How could they refuse.
The group of people drove two cars together towards the Peninsula Hotel.
When they arrived at the Peninsula Hotel, Junning asked them again, "Do you want to eat French food? Or European food? Or Cantonese food in Jialin Tower?"
Gong Henian smiled and said: "Of course I want to eat Cantonese food from Jialinlou, it tastes really good."
Seeing several others nodding along, Junning Ning smiled and said, "Okay, then let's go to Jialin Tower to eat Cantonese food."
In fact, she also prefers to eat Cantonese food. After all, it is one of the country's famous dishes, and it also has a strong hometown flavor.
Just like Chinese people studying abroad, they will deeply miss the food of their hometown.
For Junning, it is good to change the taste of French food and European food occasionally, but it is not used to eating it often. After all, it is foreign taste.
The decoration of Jialin Building is very noble and elegant, with a strong style of the era. The hall is filled with soothing and pleasant classical light music.
Junning and the others found a seat to the side on the second floor and sat down.
The waiter came to serve them immediately, with a very good attitude, attentive and thoughtful.
Jun Ning smiled and said to Gong Henian: "Mr. Gong, you are familiar with this place. Come and order!"
Gong Henian didn't refuse, and responded with a smile: "Okay, I'll order some. Do you have anything you like to eat? Are there any taboos?"
Everyone said no.
Gong Henian smiled and said again, "Then I will order some signature dishes for everyone to try."
He ordered honey-glazed barbecued pork, stir-fried dried shrimp balls with buckwheat, lotus pond pork, pan-fried spotted willows with green onion and black soy sauce, roasted squab with sweet-scented osmanthus, tiger prawns with truffle mushrooms, lobster and goldfish dumplings, and baked barbecued pork cakes.
Then, he put away the menu and said, "Come on, order these first. If you don't have enough, order more."
The waiter took the menu and immediately went to the kitchen to place the order.
Gong Henian said to Junning again: "There are a lot of delicious food here. If Miss Jun is free, you can come back in the future."
Junning smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gong."
Seeing the plates of delicacies starting to arrive on the table, Junning used the cover of her black bag to take out a bottle of peach blossom wine.
She smiled and said to Gong Henian and the other two original owners: "This peach blossom wine is a top-quality wine specially made by our company. Drinking it is very beneficial to your health. Today we will use this wine to go with this food. Have a nice drink.”
Gong Henian received 7 million from selling a building, which shows that he is very rich. A rich man like him can definitely afford these spiritual wines.
Moreover, all the guests who come to this Jialin Tower for dinner are either rich or noble.
Every customer here may become her potential customer. It is very cost-effective to open a bottle of peach blossom wine to attract them and whet their appetite.
When Gong Henian saw the exquisite and classic bottle of Peach Blossom Wine, his eyes lit up, "It's not easy to see this bottle. We are in for a treat today."
When the beautifully colored peach blossom wine was poured into the snow-white wine glass, the color of the wine was perfect and the aroma was fragrant, instantly capturing the hearts of everyone at the table.
Ji Jinhua exclaimed: "The color of this wine is really beautiful, and the aroma of the wine smells good and comfortable, making people want to drink it all..."
Gong Henian also nodded and praised: "Yes, yes, this peach blossom wine is really good. No matter the color or aroma of the wine, you don't have to choose. Come on, let's raise a glass and drink one together. I can't wait."
Junning also raised his glass and said to them with a smile: "Here, let me also use this peach blossom wine to say thank you. Thank you for your help and care for us. Cheers!"
"cheers!"
Several people's glasses clinked together, and then they drank up the peach blossom wine in the glasses slowly and one mouthful at a time.
After finishing the glass of wine, Gong Henian praised three times in succession, "It is indeed a good wine! Good wine! Good wine!"
He then asked Junning, "Miss Jun, you said just now that this is your company's special wine, do you know if it will be sold to outsiders?"
Junning said with a smile: "We bought your eighteen-story building just to open a super mall. By then, these peach blossom wines and other fine wines will be on sale one by one."
When Gong Henian heard that there was a sale, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I will definitely go and help you then."
Junning also smiled and said, "Okay, I'll call Mr. Gong when it opens."
The aroma of peach blossom wine slowly filled the entire floor.
Other guests in the restaurant sniffed hard and asked: "What kind of fragrance is this? Why does it smell so good?"
"Yes, it smells so good. It smells like wine and flowers. It feels very comfortable..."
An old man who looked to be in his 70s or 80s stood up from his seat, sniffed and smelled with his sensitive nose, and found Junning's table directly.
When he saw the wine bottle placed next to Jun Ning, he wanted to pick it up, smell it, or even take a few sips.
But Junning quickly took the bottle away.
The old man looked at Junning with a flattering smile and said: "Little pretty girl, my old man's biggest hobby in life is drinking. I smell your wine is very good. Can you give me a drink?"
Junning looked at the old man's fawning smile and couldn't resist his request.
She asked the waiter to bring a clean cup, poured him a glass of peach blossom wine, and said with a smile: "Old man, please sit down and drink slowly."
The old man smiled cheerfully, "Okay, okay, thank you."
At this time, an imposing middle-aged man who was dining with the old man came over and said apologetically to Junning and the others, "I'm sorry, my father is rude!"
