Chapter 89
Old Mrs. Jin smiled gently at Li Xingxing and said to Zhao Haiyun: "I know this little girl. She is a very kind and good child. She has helped me a lot. If you use her, don't worry."
Zhao Haiyun was stunned: "That's good, it's more pleasant to get along."
"Haiyun, you are busy with yours. I will talk to Xingxing for a while." Old Mrs. Jin said.
Li Xingxing had a bad premonition in his heart.
The old lady won’t expose her selling supplies at a high price, right?
As a result, the old lady didn't mention it at all and smiled at her, "You should dress like this, it looks so good, but you just lack something."
"ah?"
Just as Li Xingxing was puzzled, Old Mrs. Jin lowered her head and took off a pair of jade bracelets from her wrist.
Watery, shiny, full of green, crystal clear.
Although it is not as good as the blue water-green bracelet she used to trade with Li Xingxing, the color is brighter and absolutely valuable.
"Mrs. James is full of jewels and his words and deeds are extremely arrogant. We cannot fall into the pomp, so that the other party feels that our country is poor and backward, only poor people." Old Mrs. Jin attaches this very much and puts the bracelet on Li Xingxing's wrist and "give it to you."
Li Xingxing immediately turned down: "I can't accept the reward without any merits."
Old Mrs. Jin insisted: "Wear it!"
Zhao Haiyun needed to introduce his friend to James and his wife, so he called Li Xingxing. Li Xingxing had to wear the jade bracelet that he couldn't get off for a while and went to translate it, and planned to return it to Old Mrs. Jin after the banquet.
This old lady is really a jade master!
Li Xingxing's translation skills are far superior to that of Liu. Not only is the translation very accurate, but it also makes a lot of witty words. The James and his wife communicate with their new friends very happily.
Li Xingxing himself learned a lot of news about the bourgeoisie from it.
In addition to the Jin family, there are also former flour mill owners, soy sauce mill owners, candy mill owners, textile mill owners, machinery mill owners, printing mill owners, brick and tile mill owners, pawn shop owners, etc. Most of them are still working after the public-private partnership. For example, the boss of First Hotel is currently the general manager of First Hotel, and can receive a fixed interest rate of up to 50,000 yuan per year.
It can be said that all the richest people in Wutong City are here.
Some of them are classified as bureaucratic bourgeoisie, some are classified as comprador capitalist, and some are the same as Zhao Haiyun, and the national capitalists with the best relationship with the state, correspondingly have the highest status and more influential.
Of course, Zhao Haiyun is still the richest person.
He not only had a machinery factory, but also engaged in import trade, including his own department stores, textile factories, flour mills, clothing factories, watch factories and jewelry stores, hotels, pawn shops, etc. He once had his own fleet, but now it is under the state management and pawn shops have been banned. He told his friends that many of the ingredients at the banquet were brought from Shanghai by himself.
Abalone, sea cucumber, bird's nest, shark fin, etc., and one-meter-long flower gum.
"The chicken soup with flower rubber is very nutritious. Everyone tastes it and replenish it." Zhao Haiyun raised his glass and greeted him with a clear voice. "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is a Kung Fu dish, and it is too late to cook it now. However, I have entrusted Comrade Xia from the First Hotel to make it on the day we set off. I will invite everyone to have a meal at that time."
It was a tone of not being short of money.
Li Xingxing and the James and his wife introduced the history of various dishes, methods, nutritional ingredients and benefits to the body. In addition, the food itself is delicious, so the two foreigners couldn't raise their heads and kept saying: "VeryGood! VeryGood!"
The banquet is divided into separate meals, and after chicken soup, it is a stewed lion head.
One bowl, a base lined with green vegetables, and a wolfberry on the head. The soup is clear and fragrant, and it feels very layered in the mouth.
Li Xingxing felt that the first hotel was a thief.
In response to the country's call to save food, the dishes are rich and small in quantity, and there is no room for everyone to pack.
She said to James and his wife: "What I am cooking today is a state banquet dish. The state banquet dish is a dish that leaders invite heads of state. Ordinary people cannot get in touch with it. This shows how Mr. Zhao attaches great importance to the two."
The James and his wife were really happy.
