Chapter 341 Magic City Style
The Dragon and Phoenix Hall on the 8th floor of the Legend Hotel in Magic City has a history of more than 80 years and is still the top restaurant in people's hearts.
The Peace Hotel was built in 1929 by the British Jew Victor Sassoon. It was originally called the Chinachem Hotel and the Sassoon Building.
Perhaps only the Peace Hotel is the most distinctive on the entire Nanjing East Road. The appearance of the entire building is Chicago School Gothic, and the exterior walls are made of granite stones. It is the first modern building in the history of modern architecture in the Magic City.
Arthur, wearing a British-style haute couture suit, Jiang Lai, holding his arm, was wearing a simple white dress and a wide belt with black hollow flowers on his waist. He looked simple and elegant, with a very beautiful figure, with a slanted black hair combed to the left, and walked into the hotel hall with a goddess-like appearance through the revolving door. He smelled the fragrant floor tiles essential oil at the entrance, which had a quality feeling.
Zheng Bao, who had been waiting in the hall, saw his beautiful classmate walking in with a tall and handsome, slightly young foreign man, and following behind the two with a cold and indifferent bodyguard, his eyes flashed slightly, and a bright sunny smile appeared on his face.
"Haha, I've finally waited for you..." Zheng Bao smiled and greeted Jiang Lai with a smile, and then stretched out his hand very generously and calmly to greet Arthur in English.
"Hello, I am Jiang Lai's friend, Zheng Bao, welcome you to the Heavenly Dynasty, and I am very happy to meet you."
"Thank you, hello, I am Jiang Lai's boyfriend, Arthur Bolin. You can call me Arthur. I'm happy to know you." Arthur did not say it in Chinese, but smiled and shook hands with this little leopard whom he often saw on TV, singing English.
Jiang Lai gave Arthur a little funny charming glance. She knew that her little man was going to play a prank again, but she did not expose it. Instead, she held Arthur's arm intimately and said to the little leopard with a sweet smile: "What kind of dishes have you ordered? His mouth is so ruthless."
"Don't worry, I'll do it with you. The most authentic and classic dish of this gang will guarantee that your man will return home with satisfaction." The little leopard said with a guarantee, then lowered his voice and continued to say to Jiang Lai: "By the way, was my greeting a little casual? Didn't you say he was an earl? Should I say the most noble earl, or something?"
As he said that, he secretly glanced at Arthur, who was admiring the huge silver reliefs on the walls of the Octagonal Pavilion, one of the most iconic places in the Peace Hotel. Jiang Lai chuckled and teased, "Since you know, why don't you say that?"
"Ah? You need such greetings? Okay, you're not going to be a fool! I want to say it too, I don't know how to say English..." The little leopard said with a little dumbfounded annoyance.
"Hehe, just kidding, don't be that way, follow the local customs. Besides, we are a private party, he won't care. If it's a public place, if it's possible, you can add a priest." Jiang Lai saw the little leopard's wry smile and knew that he was a shameful personality, so he hurriedly smiled and whispered.
"Haha, that's good. But you can, you can take this kind of top-notch one by you, so that Xiaochen and the others can see it, but you won't be envious and jealous!" The little leopard did not forget to tease and laugh.
Jiang Lai showed a faint smug smile on his beautiful pretty face, but he said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense." Then he turned to Arthur beside him and said in English: "Dear, let's go up."
Arthur smiled and nodded, and then nodded to the little leopard. The group of five people, led by the welcome staff, came to the innermost elevator.
"This elevator is always preserved by the Old Demon Capital. It is very interesting and gives people the feeling of traveling back to the Old Demon Capital." In the elevator, the little leopard introduced with a smile, looking at Jiang Lai from time to time, signaling Jiang Lai to translate for Arthur.
Jiang Lai just pursed his lips and smiled, his beautiful eyes narrowed into crescent moons, while Arthur nodded and smiled suddenly said: "It's really interesting, just like the plots in many old movies, with feelings everywhere."
"puff--"
Zheng Bao heard Arthur suddenly speaking fluent Mandarin, and almost choked by his saliva. He looked shocked and stared at Arthur with a smirk.
"Gee..." Looking at Zheng Bao's expression, Jiang Lai could no longer hold it in and snuggled up to Arthur's arm and laughed, trembling with flowers.
"Ahem. You couple... are really annoying!" The little leopard, who immediately thought of something, shook his head and looked at Arthur and Jiang Lai and complained.
"Haha, I only have a little Chinese. Don't worry, I haven't heard you and her previous muttering..." Arthur continued to tease with a smile.
"It's weird if I believe you, you couple are very bad!" The little leopard also saw that Arthur was a playful personality, so he didn't continue to be tense, laughing and complaining to try to narrow the distance between each other.
"Hehe, Arthur is very talented in language. It didn't take long for me to teach him that he could communicate in Chinese in simple language." Jiang Lai looked at Arthur sweetly, then explained with a giggle.
Looking at the sweet appearance of the two, the little leopard rolled his eyes in anger and complained: "I wouldn't have come if I had known it. Now I'd be forced to eat dog food!"
"Haha, you are very humorous. I have heard Lai introduce you, a big star, I'm very happy to meet you!" Arthur smiled and reached out to shake hands with the other party again, and said in Chinese this time.
"What big star? Don't listen to her brag. Just a new actor. I should be happy about it. I can meet a nobleman from the UK and a billionaire. I am a big man!" The little leopard said with a smile.
"Okay, don't be poor." Hearing the two of them flatter each other, Jiang Lai's sweet smile gave the two a look of them. Arthur and the little leopard smiled at each other, and then the elevator also reached the eighth floor.
"bite--"
When the elevator door opens, the entrance is the lobby paved with Italian marble. Square columns with carved dragons and painted phoenixes stand around. The luxurious style of decorative art and the celestial style are blended with. The unique luxurious arched dome sets off the classic crystal lamp. It is so grand that people can't take their eyes off.
"Dragon and Phoenix Hall is a signature restaurant of Peace Hotel, mainly serving this and Cantonese cuisine. It is also well-known in the entire Magic City. It has won many high-standard awards in the catering industry." The little leopard introduced to Arthur with a lot of knowledge.
While nodding, Arthur looked at the crimson tables and chairs and green beams and columns in the restaurant. The entire restaurant was mainly composed of a classic Chinese style. At the top of the restaurant at the center are carved golden dragons and golden phoenixes. The classic dishes in this gang seemed to be more popular in such an environment.
At this time, a waiter came up to him. After the little leopard said a few words to the other party, Arthur and his group followed the waiter to the private room. I have to say that the little leopard was really well prepared.
After sitting in the private room, the little leopard ordered the waiters to serve the dishes, and then smiled and said to Arthur: "Let's taste the food first, then go to Jasmine Lounge to have a few drinks, which contains the unique atmosphere of the Old Demon City. Enjoy the performance of the most representative elderly jazz band in Peace Hotel. This elderly jazz band consists of six musicians who have been engaged in music for more than half a century. The average age is now 72 years old.
The band’s founder and captain Mr. Zhou and jazz drum player Mr. Cheng were both popular in the Paramount Ballroom in the 1940s. They were the first jazz band composed of the Celestial people and members of the Jamie Jin Band. It was definitely the most beautiful scenery in the Peace Hotel!”
When Arthur heard this, he nodded and exclaimed: "I really want to appreciate it and feel the pursuit and persistence of these old artists in jazz music!"
"Haha, you will never be disappointed. To be honest, every time I hear their performance, I feel moved to worship!" The little leopard sighed sincerely.
