Chapter 1565: Dance

Feng Yiping stood on the square near the sea of ​​the Taj Mahal Hotel, looking at this hotel, which is known as "the best hotel in India, a symbol of India's self-esteem and wealth", and nodded constantly.

In India, the word Taj easily reminds people of the Taj Mahal, but Taj Mahal has nothing to do with the Taj Mahal. It is Arabic, meaning "the place where the crown is placed."

He had seen this hotel on the news before, but he forgot the exact year. He only remembered that it suffered a terrorist attack.

Speaking of which, his first reaction when he saw this incident seemed to be that his values ​​were not quite right. People living in the Taj Mahal Hotel were either rich or noble. He felt that attacking such a place was better than attacking a place like a vegetable market.

Those places have a larger flow of people, and the people are already very hard-working. Why should they be difficult with them?

Unexpectedly, he has become a VIP here now.

By the end of last year, the hotel had been in use for a whole century. The century-long time did not reduce its glory. The original magnificence, after the precipitation and carving of time, is more elegant and noble.

This location is also first-class, right by the sea, and not far away is the famous India Gate.

It is another building in the world that looks like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

This is an arch that combines the architectural features of Indian and Persian culture. It is 26 meters high and can be said to be a political achievement project.

According to convention, the British royal family will regularly visit the colonies. In 1911, in order to cooperate with the visiting King George V of England, the grandfather of the ****** who looked like he would outlast his son, and Queen Mary, the colonial government specially built this building to let George V pass through the door to show that Mumbai is the gateway to India.

Since then, this has been the designated place for the Mumbai Municipal Government to welcome heads of state. As a result, the Taj Mahal Hotel next to it has naturally become the accommodation for many VIPs.

It can be said that the establishment of the high-end brand of the Taj Mahal Hotel is not unrelated to the successful positioning of this first one.

Such a luxurious hotel, such a solemn India Gate, it should be very clean and tidy around, but Indians don't do that. Next to the India Gate is the busy Apollo Pier, where ships come and go and people are bustling.

It is full of life.

Next to the India Gate and in the square of the Taj Mahal Hotel, there are many young people sitting under the trees, on the flower beds, on the ground, and watching the hustle and bustle around them.

Such a scene is definitely not seen in cities with fast economic development in China. How can young people be so leisurely?

But this is India. You are in its well-known commercial city, but you can't feel the rush of the familiar commercial city.

From these young people, it seems that the founder of the Tata Group, Jamsetji Tata, can't see the momentum.

It is said that he was already a successful businessman at the time and was going to a high-end hotel and coffee with his friends, but because he was Indian, he was kicked out of the hotel.

This incident is a bit similar to the Fuxing Park where Feng Yiping took Jin Ling and others to visit for a while. When its predecessor, Gujiazhai Park, was first opened, the French Concession stipulated the discriminatory and insulting clause "Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter".

But unlike the various means of protest adopted by various sectors of the domestic society, Jamsetji Tata was more tough. If you don't welcome me, then I will build one myself - so there is this luxury hotel in front of us.

For this reason, this seaside hotel has a unique design. It faces the sea with its back to the sea, while the main entrance faces the city. Many people joked that this hotel did not welcome the British from the sea at that time.

This is not the case. It is designed in this way so that all the rooms in the hotel can see the sea.

"We know that Mr. Feng also has a five-star hotel, and we also hope to cooperate with you in the field of high-end hotels," Sean said as he walked to the main entrance.

"I really hope to learn from the successful experience of the Taj Mahal Hotel in this regard," said Feng Yiping.

But in fact, he has no intention to cooperate with others in the field of high-end hotels. In fact, the Taj Mahal Hotel is also the same. Unlike other joint ventures under the Tata Group, it was completely funded by Jamsetji Tata personally.

The establishment of the Taj Mahal luxury brand is actually difficult to replicate. As a member of the Indian powerful bourgeoisie, the Tata Group successfully persuaded the government to transform many formerly luxurious and sophisticated princely palaces into the Taj Mahal Hotel.

Feng Yiping did think of such things, such as the Prince Gong Mansion and the Summer Resort, but would the domestic cultural relics department agree?

…………

Not long after seeing off Sean and his party, Feng Yiping, who was standing in front of the window, saw that in the afterglow of the sunset, some vendors were carrying clothes or pushing carts, walking not far away. They were probably going to the night market. With such a city appearance, there was no need for urban management.

And those young people who were watching the scenery were still sitting leisurely in their original places, still looking at everything around them leisurely. At this time, weren't they hungry?

Just as I thought about being hungry, there was a noise at the door. Mike came in with Marika, who had changed into a sari. "Hello, Mr. Feng," she said with a smile, wearing a bright red sari and a headdress on her forehead.

"Hello," Feng Yiping smiled and nodded.

Even from the way women dress, India is also a very contradictory nation. For example, the sari that Marika is wearing now actually looks more seductive than a Western evening gown.

The black bra is very low, and the white spot is in sight. The petticoat inside is also very low, revealing part of the abdomen...

It gives people the feeling that if the outer piece of cloth about 5 to 6 meters long is taken off, and the clothes inside are directly worn to the beach, it will not be inconsistent.

"This is the dinner I prepared for you," Marika waved her hand, and suddenly a large group of people came in with a food delivery cart.

"I asked an Indian chef who I think is the best,"

"Oh, is this the thing you contacted on the plane?" Feng Yiping asked.

"Yes, I supervised them on the spot, and something like last night will never happen again," she said.

"Please let me introduce them to you. This is grilled fish with marinade, grilled shami chicken, sweet and sour vegetables with yogurt, chicken with dried fruit sauce, sukiyaki..., stewed beans, cumin rice, Indian-style flatbreads..., chickpea pie, herbal tea and South Indian coffee,"

When the waiter put out a dish, Marika introduced one, and there were more than 20 dishes in total. Not only did they smell very fragrant - India is the largest producer of spices, but the shapes were also good and the colors were well matched.

However, while Mike was drooling, he had a little regret: there was no beef again.

Feng Yiping also regretted that there was no braised pork.

For these two things, the Indian chef said, I am also helpless!

Hindus naturally do not eat beef, and Muslims do not touch pork. What do you want me to do? I can only find chicken and fish.

This time, Feng Yiping was finally able to easily experience authentic Indian food. It's really good.

"98% of Indians have their own religious beliefs. In India, religion is not only a belief, but also a simple concept and a way of life. Our food customs are greatly influenced by religion," Marika introduced to Feng Yiping while eating.

Feng Yiping didn't know much about religious issues. He just didn't understand why many religions in Asia have dietary restrictions and requirements for believers, but Western Christianity doesn't?

He naturally wouldn't talk about such controversial topics. With delicious food in front and beautiful women beside him, he temporarily put aside everything and concentrated on enjoying this rare meal.

However, Mike, who was accompanying him, always felt a little uncomfortable. He always felt that he was redundant.

After enjoying the chickpea pie, he took his mobile phone back to his room while drinking coffee and said that he had work to deal with.

This is not a lie. When people here in India get off work, they are just getting ready to go to work in the United States. This is also the reason why so many American companies put their customer service centers in Bangalore. They get off work here and go to work there, which is just seamless.

"Malika, thank you for your trouble in arranging this. You see, Netflix is ​​planning to produce its own... Sorry, what are you doing?"

Malika had already untied the cloth wrapped around her body, leaving only her bra on top and her petticoat underneath. "Let me dance for you,"
