Chapter 243 was dug again!
Wangjiangge No. 1 is the only Chinese restaurant with three Michelin stars.
Every day, many guests come to make reservations for meals, and the queue for reservations has stretched out to a year and a half later.
Therefore, Wangjiang Pavilion is always full during lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, supper and other meal times.
Those who can come to dine at a Michelin three-star Chinese restaurant like Wangjiangge are, even if they are not celebrities, at least middle class.
When they heard that someone had spent more than 1.4 million pounds on a lunch, the whole audience was shocked.
So rich!
This is not like eating, this is like eating money!
For a moment, many people even stood up ungentlemanly, took out their mobile phones, and took pictures of the cash register.
The entire lobby of Wangjiang Pavilion was filled with discussion and conversation, wondering what these people were eating.
As soon as Abramovich walked out of the box, he heard some noise in the lobby and saw many people taking pictures of them.
He was so scared that he quickly raised his hands to cover his face, thinking he was encountering paparazzi.
"What's going on?" Abramovich was a little angry.
Why are there people taking pictures everywhere I go?
Are these guys addicted to taking photos?
"It looks like it's at the cashier counter." said Bruce Buck.
Abramovich looked at Granovskia, who was concentrating on calculating something, and immediately walked over.
Damn, what's wrong with this guy today?
Why is it that when you do things, it always makes people worry?
Isn't it just a matter of paying the bill? Just hand over the money and leave!
Still calculating over there? What the hell are you calculating?
Do I, Abramovich, have to pay for the bill?
"Marina, what's going on?" Abramovich shouted in a bad tone.
"Boss, I'm doing the accounting."
"What's there to settle?" Abramovich got angry.
I didn't want to lose my temper in front of so many people, but you forced me to do so, right?
"We have to calculate it clearly, boss. It's more than 1.4 million pounds."
"What?" Abramovich lost his voice.
This time, everyone in the audience looked over again.
Those who came to watch the fun were not afraid of trouble. No one even had time to eat and were busy taking photos and sending WeChat messages.
We must spread this hot news to the Internet as soon as possible.
Someone even shouted Abramovich's name on the spot, obviously recognizing him.
"One million and four hundred thousand pounds? Are you sure we're having Chinese food?"
Abramovich obviously didn't quite believe it. How could those few small pastries be worth so much money?
Many people around also showed their concern. Yes, I hope this store is not ripping people off.
Huang Ying looked at so many people staring at her, and her pretty face suddenly turned red again.
A beautiful woman with a blushing face due to shyness always attracts people's pity.
"Sir, this is what you ordered. All of the dishes you ordered are our restaurant's signature handmade dishes, and they are also our restaurant's most expensive dishes."
Abramovich didn't even look at the menu at the time, thinking that the meal would not cost much money.
"Look, this is the Dragon Prince you ordered." Huang Ying opened the menu and showed them, "Here is the price of the Dragon Prince."
Abramovich took a quick look and checked, and sure enough!
The main reason is that there are too many of them. They go out with more than 20 bodyguards in black, and they go broke even if they eat too much.
"Our Dragon Prince uses the master's knife skills to cut fresh live lobsters imported from China into sections, and only takes out a small section of the most tender and chewy part to make lobster balls, and throws away the rest. In addition, the ingredients for making lobster balls are also very particular..."
Huang Ying has been learning to cook Chinese food with Huang Tianshun since she was a child. She knows all the ingredients of Chinese food very well and can talk about it calmly and eloquently.
"It's not just the Dragon Prince. Look at this crab cake and this abalone cake. Every dish in our restaurant is made with the finest ingredients."
Huang Ying's words were immediately recognized by everyone around her.
The Chinese food here is indeed unique and very delicious.
Once you’ve had it once, it’s easy to get addicted.
Of course, the consumption here is also very expensive.
Otherwise, how could it be called Michelin three stars?
"Sir, the dishes you ordered are all handmade with the most expensive ingredients. They are very time-consuming. For example, one of our masters can only make one or two servings of the Dragon Prince in an hour."
After Huang Ying said this, everyone in the audience immediately understood.
A top chef with three Michelin stars can only make one or two servings in an hour. How can this price not be expensive?
Abramovich had a bitter face. He hadn't even looked at the menu before ordering. He just copied the dishes that Yang Huan ordered.
Who knew that this young master had such a picky taste that he had to prepare such expensive dishes?
Or maybe he did it on purpose!
"The other thing is red wine." Huang Ying compared the red wine on the menu again, "We use the original imported French Bordeaux Calon-Séguinage authentic wine, which is much more expensive than ordinary red wine."
"Besides, there are more than twenty of you!" Huang Ying reminded.
Now everyone in the audience understood.
It turned out that there were more than twenty of them.
And taking another look, the group of bodyguards in black all looked strong and muscular, and they looked like heroes who drank heavily and ate big chunks of meat. After such a big meal and drinking, more than one million pounds was not too outrageous.
Then, everyone immediately looked at Abramovich.
The Russians understand that unless they want to be on the front page of tomorrow's news and be branded as a freeloader, they have to pay the money.
Who made him want to fight with Yang Huan just now?
"Forget it, Marina, give me the money!" Abramovich's heart was bleeding.
He suspected that he had been cheated by Yang Huan again.
Granovskia followed his boss's instructions and paid the money directly.
A group of people left in a noisy manner, but the entire Wangjiangge Store No. 1 seemed to be in an uproar.
A lunch cost more than 1.4 billion pounds. It's outrageous. It's definitely big news, right?
Through WeChat Moments, Twitter, and Facebook, these messages and photos quickly spread.
What the new Chelsea owner did at the Michelin three-star Chinese restaurant Wangjiangge is spreading across the Internet at a very fast speed, and everyone is shocked by their lunch expenses.
"Oh my god, rich people are so willful. They spent more than 1.4 million on a lunch?"
"What do you mean by one million and four hundred thousand? Go check out the report in The Sun, it's one million and six hundred thousand?"
"Isn't it two million? I just saw the report in the Daily Mail."
"What? Two million? How is that possible?"
"Who says it's impossible? That's Wangjiang Pavilion. I've been to their London restaurant. Some of their top dishes cost over a thousand pounds a serving."
"Oh my god, it's so expensive? Isn't it ridiculous?"
“After all, it’s the only Chinese restaurant with three Michelin stars.”
"It's incredible. I doubt whether the food in this restaurant is really that good."
“It’s delicious for sure. It’s the most delicious and healthiest Chinese food I’ve ever had. Except for being expensive, everything else is perfect.”
"I heard that the red wine they drank was Calon-Ségur, a famous brand that is not inferior to Lafite and Latour, and it is very expensive."
"This is outrageous, these rich people!"
"The Russians should save the money they spend on food and use it to bring in players to Chelsea."
"We have to eat every day, but we only recruit players twice a year, so eating is more important!"
"Poor Chelsea, it's worse than a Chinese restaurant!"
The news first attracted strong attention in the UK and soon spread to Europe.
The news that the owner of Chelsea spent more than two million pounds on a meal is shocking, extravagant and shocking enough.
This soon triggered a lot of hype in the European media.
It then spread to every corner of the world, and everyone was amazed at Abramovich's generosity.
This is definitely the most expensive lunch in the world!
Countless reporters and media flocked into Wangjiang Pavilion, wanting to find out what this most expensive Chinese restaurant in the world is like.
At this time, the style that Wangjiang Pavilion has worked hard to create shows its value.
Every store is of the highest quality from its decoration and layout to its overall style, dishes and waiters.
But what people talk about most is its style.
"All menus are written in Chinese, with no English annotations. All waiters are Chinese and speak Chinese, not any other language. The materials used for store decoration are all from Chinese craftsmen, including dining tables, chairs, bowls, chopsticks and bowls."
“In fact, almost all the ingredients in this store are from China!”
"This is a collective presentation of Chinese culture. When you walk into this store, you are greeted by a strong, authentic, traditional Chinese cultural atmosphere, which makes every cell in your body feel the appeal of this culture."
For a time, Wangjiangge became synonymous with Chinese restaurants overseas, and once again set off a Chinese food craze overseas.
When interviewed by media reporters, Wangjiang Pavilion's general manager Huang Tianshun said that although Wangjiang Pavilion is currently in a very good situation, it will not accept franchises, but will only expand slowly through the direct-operated store model.
"We have already bought properties in cities such as Paris, Frankfurt, Madrid, Brussels and Milan, and we will open ten more stores in Europe in the next year."
As for the operation of the branch, Huang Tianshun also said that he would not completely copy Wangjiangge's development model in the UK.
"What we emphasize is the characteristics. How to provide all food lovers around the world with the most authentic and pure Chinese food experience is our business philosophy."
Wangjiangge's practice has caused quite a stir in the European and American catering industries.
Some even believe that this is a rallying cry for Chinese food culture to launch a massive attack on the European catering market.
Chinese restaurant operators around the world are also reflecting on their past practices. Some have even begun to imitate Wangjiangge's model and operate their own Chinese restaurants targeting high-end customers.
Of course, there are successes and failures.
However, no other store has been able to achieve the influence and attention of Wangjiang Pavilion.
Abramovich's lavish spending at Wangjiang Pavilion caused a huge response in the catering industry. Even the Michelin officials attached great importance to this matter and promoted and publicized it.
But outside the catering industry, this is more of a short-term topic, just to make everyone pay attention to and remember the sign of Wangjiangge Chinese Restaurant, that's all.
But in the football circle, especially in Britain where paparazzi are omnipotent, more explosive materials and news are gradually being dug up.
Southern Echo reporter Charlene Laheri was the first to reveal in the media that Southampton defensive stalwart Benatia will transfer to Chelsea for a staggering price of 30 million pounds.
This piece of news immediately exploded throughout Britain, and countless people expressed their amazement.
Chelsea's big move!
After having strong central defenders such as David Luiz and Terry, they actually introduced Benatia at such a high price.
Needless to say, Chelsea will definitely aim for the championship in the new season.
Poor Southampton, their defensive backbone has been poached, what should they do?
But just when Saints fans were worried, the media revealed another piece of news.
Captain Adam Lallana also followed Benatia and joined the Blues Chelsea for a sky-high price of 40 million pounds.
This immediately shocked everyone.
Forty million pounds?
This is already the highest price for English players!
Oh my god, this transfer market is going crazy!
It's absolutely crazy!
Southampton fans were also shocked to hear the news.
What's going on?
The backbone of the defense was poached, even the captain was poached.
Is it possible that Southampton is no longer playing?
A lot of such news has gradually appeared in the media.
Some people even suspected that Yang Huan's funding chain had been broken and he had to sell off his stars to stay afloat.
But some people also believe that this is Southampton's way of maintaining the team's finances and adapting to UEFA's financial health clauses.
But no matter what, when there was not much progress in the transfer, the team first cleaned out a group of substitute stars, and then sold off two main core players one after another.
How will Southampton play in the new season?
Just when Southampton fans were feeling extremely worried and many fans who hated Southampton were gloating, news came again.
Southampton has been poached again!
