Chapter 1668 Buffet
Rongcheng is known as the largest city in the Southwest and the most prosperous place in the three Southwest provinces, but to be honest, it is not even comparable to the open coastal cities in the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta in terms of modernization.
Give a very simple example.
For example, there are almost no special counters for luxury stores in Chengdu, which represent the degree of affluence of a city.
No lv, no Hermes, no Patek Philippe, no Rolls Royce...
Although these luxury goods are not necessarily good, they also represent the recognition of those international super-class brands to your city of Rongcheng.
They did not open a specialty store or brand flagship store in Rongcheng, which shows that they believe that the entire consumption level and affluence of Rongcheng cannot support their entire brand culture.
Of course, Xiao Qi wished that these luxury stores would not enter Huaguo.
Because Xiao Qi really doesn’t know the difference between an 800,000 Hermès bag and ordinary domestic products, let alone think that Patek Philippe is better than Seagull watches. These luxury goods are still used to earn money from European, American, Japanese and Korean citizens. it is good.
However, for some other things that Rongcheng doesn't have, Xiao Qi is somewhat defamatory.
For example, the kings of the two chain buffets that are well-known in Huaguo - Golden Leopard and Four Seas have no branches in Rongcheng, and the cafeterias of some high-end five-star hotels are not very good, at least in Xiao Qi's opinion. It is very different from the high-end buffet restaurants in the world.
It's not that Xiao Qi is hypocritical when he has nothing to do, and he is concerned about the buffet industry in Rongcheng, but that Lu Qin wanted to give his sister a New Year gift two days ago, but Lu Qiaoyin said that he wanted to eat a buffet.
Lu Qiaoyin grew up in an orphanage, so she didn't know much about the outside world.
After she was trafficked, she often shuttled around the bustling areas of various big cities. I have seen many places in the market, especially the cafeteria on the first floor of a Shangri-La Hotel in the East, and I am very impressed.
Recalling the time when she was drooling looking at the hundred kinds of colorful ingredients on there, Lu Qiaoyin made this request.
She knew that her sister really loved her, otherwise she would use her cuteness and the ability to observe words and emotions developed over the years. She would not make such a request, which she considered very extravagant.
Of course Lu Qin didn't care what Lu Qiaoyin wanted, anyway, if she couldn't do it, that scoundrel could always do it, not to mention it was just a mere buffet.
However, as a natural and heroic girl who is only interested in martial arts, she never eats this kind of buffet, and she doesn't know where the buffet in Rongcheng is good, so she still entrusts this task to her apprentice husband, let Xiao Qi came to arrange.
Xiao Qi chose and chose, and he chose Shangri-La Hotel as the place.
Coincidentally. There is also a Shangri-La Hotel in Rongcheng, and it is just opposite Laoba Road. It is known as Lan Kwai Fong in Rongcheng. The two are separated by a river around the city. From any corner of Laoba Road, you can look up. There are two The Shangri-La Hotel in the complex.
It is also a coincidence that since the trial operation began in the second half of 2007, the Shangri-La Hotel opened last month, that is, in December. Officially started business.
A restaurant that just opened no matter which country it is in. It always needs more energy. I think Shangri-La's buffet can be above the standard at this time, at least the ingredients must be fresher and more diverse.
If you eat in a world-class hotel, you can rest assured about hygiene, but before coming here, Xiao Qi gave Lu Qiaoyin some advice. I want her not to eat too much, lest she eat too many different ingredients and spoil her stomach.
The little girl was very well-behaved, hugging Xiao Qi's neck and nodding repeatedly, with a constant smile on her face.
In fact, Lu Qin is the most clingy to her. However, the beautiful elder sister is naturally dull on weekdays, and she doesn't have much expression. Although Lu Qiaoyin knows that her elder sister loves her very much, she is afraid of making her unhappy, so she can only cling to Xiao Qi.
But compared to before, she is much better now.
Not to mention anything else, Su Zi and Yu Yunxiu often came over to help her dress up because she could keep up with her nutrition. While the little girl's face became plump, she also had a strong atmosphere of an urban girl in her dress.
From Xiao Qi's point of view, she is fine like this, delicate yet cute, if Huo Zhuzhu and Yang Na are used to dress her up, maybe ten years later she will be a bourgeois beauty again!
Xiao Qi hugged Lu Qiaoyin, and walked in front with Lu Qin, and several bodyguards followed slowly a dozen meters behind.
It's not that they take it lightly, it's true that where there is Lu Qin, they are basically not needed, because hundreds of bodyguards are just a piece of cake to Lu Qin.
From Laoba Road to Shangri-La Hotel, cross the bridge across the moat, but it is only 10 minutes away.
The waiter in charge of selling tickets, seeing such a large group of people coming, obviously Xiao Qi and Lu Qin are the center, knowing that they must be the children of the rich family, he felt a burst of envy in his heart.
The consumption of Shangri-La Hotel has never been cheap, and the buffet is 262, which is very expensive in Rongcheng, but the people in Rongcheng like eating, drinking and having fun, so at 6:30 in the evening, there are still almost 80% of the guests .
There are couples who come to eat together, families of three who come to eat, and friends who come to have a party, but generally speaking, it is mostly young people.
Xiao Qi and Lu Qin, including Lu Qiaoyin, are all young people with outstanding looks, so they attracted a lot of attention when they came in.
If the bodyguards hadn't dispersed as soon as they came in, I'm afraid people's gazes would be inevitable all the time.
Choosing a seat by the window to sit down, Lu Qiaoyin immediately said in a pretty way: "Brother Qi, sister, I'll help you get food, what do you want?"
"Whatever." Lu Qin said lightly.
"You can just get some meat and vegetables for your sister, and you don't need drinks and cakes." Xiao Qi said in more detail, "I just need some Brazilian barbecue."
"it is good!"
Lu Qiaoyin ran away with a smile.
She has never eaten a buffet before, but she has seen it many times while lying down in front of the window. After picking up the plate under the food table, she started her journey of picking vegetables.
It was the first time for the little girl to look at the dazzling buffet at such a close distance, and she was dazzled for a while. Looking at this and wanting to take that, after seeing that, there are other things I like, so I sent five big plates of food to Xiao Qi and Lu Qin back and forth without knowing it.
Lu Qin doesn't like to eat greasy food, but seeing Lu Qiaoyin's excited appearance, she still ate at her usual fast speed.
Xiao Qi chatted with Lu Qin while eating. As usual, basically he was talking and Lu Qin was listening.
"Oh~~"
"what……"
Suddenly, the two heard two exclamations from the little girl.
Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Qi and Lu Qin looked up and saw Lu Qiaoyin and a little girl sitting on the ground in front of a ring-shaped platform five meters away. The little girl who was about her age was dressed in beautiful clothes A few pieces of salmon remained. There are also two big clumps of oil stains.
Lu Qiaoyin was not much better, her snow-white down jacket was also full of various oil and water stains, and on the ground beside the two of them, two plates had been broken and food was scattered everywhere.
"Ah, what did you do?" Just as Lu Qin stood up, a woman in her thirties came running over there. After pulling the little girl up, he checked whether her daughter was injured. Then she glared at Lu Qiaoyin angrily.
Although Lu Qiaoyin is a bit timid, she has seen many markets, she has seen a lot of cold eyes, so she is not afraid of her.
"Auntie, I... It's not my fault!" Lu Qiaoyin quickly argued, "I was just turning around with something. This little sister ran over and bumped into me..."
"You still dare to quibble? Don't you know how to get out of such a big place?" The woman looks pretty, but when she gets angry, she is a bit mean.
"Mom, it's none of her business. I didn't watch the way myself..." The little girl pulled her clothes at this moment.
"Don't worry about it! I have to ask, how did her family teach her that she still dares to talk back?" The woman glared at her daughter, not wanting her to speak any more.
At this time, Lu Qin had already walked over and stood beside Lu Qiaoyin.
Although this woman is very beautiful, she pales in comparison to Lu Qin. Whether it is height, appearance, figure, or temperament, she completely loses her light by Lu Qin's side.
The look of jealousy flashed by, and the woman looked at Lu Qin stiffly: "This is your family? How do you discipline yourself? You bump into someone and don't say sorry, are you still making excuses?"
Lu Qin didn't answer, but lowered her head and asked Lu Qiaoyin, "How is it?"
"It's nothing, sister, I'm sorry!" Lu Qiaoyin whispered, "But I didn't do it on purpose. As soon as I turned around, my little sister bumped into me."
"Well~~"
Lu Qin patted her little head, led her and walked aside.
The woman was dumbfounded, it was the first time she saw someone who treated her like nothing, and other than a glance at her, his eyeballs didn't turn to her.
Just when she was about to lose her temper, Xiao Qi, who came out to clean up the mess, stood up again: "Sister, I think there is surveillance here, why don't we call it out and see, whose fault is it? My baby is also very Jin Gui, if there is any problem, I need to hold you accountable."
The woman is grumpy and petty, but she is not stupid. The daughter has already said what happened just now, and she is just playing tricks.
Hearing that Xiao Qi wanted to be serious, she immediately softened and snorted coldly: "I don't care about you low-level people!"
With that said, she took her daughter and left.
Xiao Qi shrugged helplessly and turned back to his seat.
When he returned to his seat, he happened to hear Lu Qin teaching Lu Qiaoyin, "In the future, if you meet such an impolite person, go up and slap her! Practice martial arts with me for a year, and you will no longer have to be afraid of ordinary adults." Already!"
Xiao Qi was so frightened that he couldn't laugh or cry, "Qin'er, she's a little girl, do you want to teach her to be so violent?"
"It's someone else's fault for being good at being bullied. Why should you be patient?" Tian Tiandai really deserved his reputation, "If I didn't see that she is a woman, I would have personally slapped her!"
Xiao Qi felt a chill in his heart, thinking that if your wife makes a move, she will be slapped and slapped seven or eight meters away? Whether you can keep your face or not is a problem!
Lu Qiaoyin was not as violent as her, she gently tugged on Lu Qin's clothes: "Sister, beating someone is not good~~ I don't want you to be caught by the police uncle! I will protect myself more carefully in the future, don't worry All right!"
Lu Qin's mouth moved, obviously feeling that Lu Qiaoyin's aura was too weak, but Xiao Qi quickly held her little hand, making his naturally dull wife's dimples blush, and also suspended the idea of continuing to educate Lu Qiaoyin.
Xiao Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Qiaoyin, your idea just now was very good. Although we are not afraid of trouble, life is to take a step back, and there is no need to fight with others all day long. Look at that aunt just now, I promise she will live again." You will age very quickly at a few years old! Only those who are in a cheerful mood will live younger and younger."
"Giggle~~"
Lu Qiaoyin laughed.
She is still young, so she doesn't know the meaning of what Xiao Qi said.
Xiao Qi was actually trying to persuade her.
Because Lu Qiaoyin is Lu Qin's younger sister, she is a member of the Xiao family, and she basically lives a life of wealth and splendor. If she develops the habit of being coquettish since childhood, it will not be very good.
Although Lu Qin has a straight personality by nature, she is actually very smart. She understands what Lu Qiaoyin doesn't understand.
"My sister won't bully people!" Lu Qin broke free from Xiao Qi's hand, and said to the young man forcefully: "Don't think that I don't know anything. In this world, unless you are better than others, you will Will be bullied! I just let her not be bullied!"
"She wants to practice martial arts with you, even if she only has one-tenth of your skill, is she still afraid of being bullied by others?" Xiao Qi smiled wryly.
"Well, martial arts is also good." Lu Qin nodded seriously, "If she meets a man like you in the future, I'll teach her how to kick him away!"
"Uh..." Xiao Qi felt like he was breaking out in cold sweat.
"Sister, brother Qi is pretty good, why did I kick him away?" Lu Qiaoyin asked with her pink face up, puzzled.
"You don't need to understand now." Lu Qin's cheeks turned red, and she changed the subject: "Next time you know what to do?"
Lu Qiaoyin hesitated for a moment, then said: "I'm still the same as now. If it's not my fault, I'll explain it. If I'm wrong, I'll apologize."
Xiao Qi laughed when he heard that.
Lu Qin gave the two of them an angry look, and continued to bury her head in eating.
Lu Qiaoyin stuck out her sweet tongue at Xiao Qi, made a gesture of victory, and ate the delicious food on the plate with a smile.
Looking at their delicate appearance, one big and one small, the young man felt warm in his heart.
This is the touch of happiness in life! (To be continued..)
