The two and a half hour flight passed in a flash, and the Sherlock landed steadily at Baiyun Airport. Not long after getting off the plane, the hotel's convoy arrived.
Xia Yu only bought properties in Shanghai. Whether he went to other cities in China or other countries, he would definitely stay in a hotel. This time they stayed at the W Hotel in Guangzhou.
The name is very simple, just one letter "W". Compared with traditional hotels, it has a very bold personality and a nightclub style. It can be said to be a favorite of celebrities. But the touching price really requires a lot of effort, otherwise you can't afford it at all.
I heard that it was originally a hotel brand under Starwood, and was later acquired by Marriott. Xia Yu chose this hotel specifically to let his parents experience a youthful atmosphere.
Although it was called a convoy, there were actually only two cars. Xia Yu and his family of three sat in the back car, while Feng Manxue and Lao Xu sat in the front car to lead the way.
We will come out after arriving at the hotel. Lao Xu will be in charge of driving. They can simplify it to one car. Two cars will just be more convenient for transporting luggage. It is better to use your own driver.
The W Hotel is located in the city center, next to Guangzhou’s landmark, the Little Slender Waist. It may not look like anything special during the day, but at night it’s as dazzling as the Oriental Pearl Tower, with lights that are as gorgeous as they can be.
When the car arrived at the hotel, the lobby manager came to greet everyone and personally led them to the 30th floor of the hotel by elevator.
This time, Xia Yu booked a top-level surprise suite for 88,800 yuan + 15% service fee. The room area reached an astonishing 888 square meters, occupying the entire 30th floor.
Just take a look at the price. Xia Yu has a discount anyway. In the end, service industries like hotels still rely on individual service. It is impossible for everyone to be a god.
"It's quite big, but it feels cold."
Ms. Lin gave her evaluation, saying that the so-called nightclub style is just like that, and there is no feeling of being at home when arriving at the hotel.
Xia Yu thought it was okay. He preferred the long corridor leading to the master bedroom in this suite.
Through the grille glass at the front of the corridor, you can see the heated swimming pool on the 29th floor, where many beautiful girls are swimming.
Oh, it would be great if we could break through the glass and install a water slide so we can slide all the way down.
If Xia Yu was a hotel designer, he would definitely design it like this. Fortunately, he is not. Otherwise, this would not be a hotel swimming pool anymore, but a place of feasting and drinking.
The family discussed the allocation of rooms. Xia Yu gave the master bedroom to his parents and he lived in the second bedroom next to it. Feng Manxue and Lao Xu had a smaller second bedroom further away. After all, there were a lot of people living in this kind of suite, so there must be enough bedrooms.
The conference room, study, kitchen, etc. are not used very often. When you go out to play, the most important thing is to relax and put work aside. As for cooking, I may not be able to eat all the delicacies of Guangdong Province in just a few days or so, so I will definitely not cook.
To be honest, Master Tan is a Cantonese chef. Xia Yu has eaten quite a few Cantonese dishes, but the feeling of eating Cantonese food in Guangdong Province is different.
It can be compared to eating hot pot in Sichuan and eating roast duck and mutton in Beijing, which are all special features.
This time when I came to Guangzhou, I had to try its specialties.
We hadn't been in the hotel for long when it got dark outside and the three of us were feeling a little hungry.
"Mom and Dad, let's go and have dinner together."
After asking his parents to come downstairs, Lao Xu drove the hotel car to take them to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel next door.
The W Hotel's lounge is very famous, but its food and beverage is not outstanding. Cultural Oriental is different. The Jiang Restaurant in the Guangzhou branch is quite famous. It is not only a Michelin one-star restaurant, but also a Black Pearl one-diamond restaurant.
Many people don’t like Western standards like Michelin, so Black Pearl is the domestic standard!
Xia Yu is not too picky. He can go to a high-end restaurant to discuss cooperation worth hundreds of millions, or he can go to a roadside restaurant with friends to drink and eat skewers. The lunch boxes specially provided for the president of his own restaurant are also quite good.
However, the name of this restaurant is "Jiang", which reminds him of Jiang Baiying. Little Jiang must be very lonely after returning to the Maple Leaf Country!
How about this, I will go to Magnesium next month, and before I come back I can take a trip to see Xiao Jiang and help her make some wontons and dumplings. She is so clumsy with her hands, I don’t want her to have nothing to eat during the Spring Festival.
As we entered the restaurant, since we had made a reservation beforehand, the waiter led us directly to the spot with the best view.
Pick up the menu and you must order the special dishes, such as the flax seed roast chicken and the Hele crab steamed hand-beaten meat patties.
I also ordered a dish of roast suckling pig with caviar and a piece of fragrant drunken shad, and the dishes were almost complete.
For dessert, we chose Lingnan Black Swan Pastry, and for drink, we ordered a bottle of Mousse Forest Chardonnay white wine.
Because they arrived early, the food was served quickly, and Xia Yu first clinked glasses with Lao Xia.
White wine is a good choice for aperitif. Domestic white wine is not so particular. Cold dishes can go well with the wine, and hot dishes can also go well with it. When the wine is half drunk, have a bowl of red soup noodles to finish the last sip of the wine.
You can drink like this in such a high-end hotel, but it is better to get a private room and close the door so that you can drink freely.
Xia Yu could only say that this white wine was just okay, worthy of the price of over two thousand yuan, but not as good as some of the good wines he had recently started to collect.
There is a wine cellar with constant temperature and humidity in the basement of the new house. Xia Yu has to fill the wine cellar like filling a library, so he prepared in advance and tasted a few bottles of real fine products.
Price is definitely an important criterion for measuring whether a wine is high-quality or not. Expensive wines are not necessarily delicious, but delicious wines are definitely not cheap.
There are special auctions that sell rare wines, and Xia Yu heard that Christie's autumn auction will auction a batch of Madeira fine wines, even some of which are genuine century-old cellars.
The 1982 Lafite is nothing. As long as you are willing to spend money to participate in the auction, you can also drink the 1882 vintage. It’s just that the 1882 Sprite is relatively difficult to find, after all, it is a brand that was only launched in 1961.
Speaking of this, Xia Yu also plans to participate in this year's Christie's Autumn Auction in Hong Kong, but it is still early now, and they will go to Hong Kong last. They are now slowly strolling around Guangdong Province these days.
After tasting the wine, he started to eat the food. He first picked up a piece of flax seed roast chicken. I heard that it was Wenchang chicken, and the taste was really good.
Xia Yu wanted to ask Lao Xu to get a few live chickens back and raise them directly on the farm. Unfortunately, there are no coconut groves in Shanghai. If a Wenchang chicken is not raised on coconut meat, coconut flakes and coconut seeds, how can it still be called a Wenchang chicken?
Compared with this, Beijing stuffed duck is easier to raise, does not require so many requirements, and tastes good.
The last time I went to Wanfeng Farm, Uncle Tai told me that the batch of ducks that Lao Xu brought back had started to breed ducklings, and the population had expanded several times.
Just wait, when he grows up, he will be able to enter his oven. With the blessing of deliciousness +3, he may be able to roast the most delicious roast duck in the world.
As Xia Yu was thinking about this, the meal was almost over. He had almost finished several dishes, with only dessert left.
