Almighty in the city

Chapter 680: Complete Prodigal Son

"It's almost time, Young Master Bai, why don't we talk while eating." Aaron stood up from the sofa with a smile, raised his hand and made a "please" gesture toward the dining table.

"It seems that Mr. Aaron is also a rebellious person." Bai Yifan smiled faintly, stood up and looked at him and said, "As far as I know, the Xizhou nobles also practice'no food, no words at the table. 'The ethics of eating and talking about things, but it violates the ethics and conventions of your Cape family."

"Haha—" Aaron heard the words and laughed in a cool voice, "Well, go to the countryside to do what you like. As far as I know, people here, whether they are officials or businessmen, are basically negotiated at the dinner table. China's wine table Culture', I am a foreigner who knows a little bit."

"The rituals of eating and drinking are one of the'five rituals' practiced by Huaxia in ancient times. They are called'jiali'." Bai Yifan glanced at him and said lightly, "Huaxia's rituals are broad and profound. They vary from person to person, time to time, and event. However, it is always in a state of change, no more than the doctrines of ethics and doctrines of your Xizhou."

Aaron's face changed slightly, but before he could speak, Bai Yifan went on to say: "China’s ancient rituals have always been strict with oneself and lenient to others. What Mr. Aaron said is the “drinking table culture”. It's just a form of expression of "Jia Li" in connecting feelings. If Mr. Aaron is interested in China's ethical education system, he can find more relevant classics to study and study."

A few words made Aaron's face a faint flush, but in an instant he was forced down again.

His heart shuddered slightly, but he didn't dare to underestimate the "level" of Bai Yifan, the youngest of the Bai family.

From the initial temptation to the deliberate use of the opportunity to "choose something" just now, in the seemingly ordinary exchanges between the two, there is always a hidden front and undercurrents.

It's just that, in this kind of confrontation that can only be understood but cannot be said, Aaron, as the "challenging" party, does not take the slightest advantage.

Not only did he not take advantage, but Bai Yifan took the opportunity to ridicule him, and even the entire Xizhou nobles were ridiculed in, but he had no choice but to act as if he had not heard the ridicule in Bai Yifan’s words. Eat this one big dumb loss.

As the most luxurious box in Yuquan Palace Hotel, "Splendid Mountain River" is not only large in size, but also unique in interior decoration.

This dining table was actually made of fine golden nanmu, and Bai Yifan couldn't help but screamed "Prodigal".

The wood of golden nanmu, because of its natural luster, firmness and non-perishable, and the fragrance, refreshing, refreshing, not close to mosquitoes and flies, not painted but shiny, non-carved but beautiful in texture, it has been the royal use since the Song Dynasty. timber.

However, Phoebe nanmu mainly grows in the dense forests of deep mountains in the south. It is not easy to harvest and transport. In addition to the large-scale felling of Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, it can be used to cut Phoebe quince trees in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty It is extremely rare.

The well-known Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, self-proclaimed "Shiquan Old Man", in order to build a palace of golden nanmu for himself, he did not hesitate to lower his face, and he did not hesitate to repair the Ming Dynasty's thirteen emperor tombs. The emperors’ ancestral tombs were all demolished, and all the golden nanmu inside were transported out, and then they repaired a nanmu hall for themselves.

Nowadays, the golden nanmu that has been in the vintage is almost extinct on the market. Only the palaces in the museum can see this rare wood.

Like the golden nanmu dining table in the box of "Splendid Mountains and Rivers", if it were put out for auction, it would not be photographed without a Chinese coin worth 10 to 20 million.

Such a priceless old object was too late for others to collect and maintain. When it came to the Yuquan Palace Hotel, it was placed in a box as a dining table for the guests. It can be seen that the boss behind the Yuquan Palace has lost his family. What kind of point.

After the two were seated, Aaron pressed the service button on the table, and the hotel manager named Cao immediately pushed the door and walked in.

Seeing that both Bai Yifan and Aaron had already sat down at the table, Manager Cao immediately asked the waiter behind him to bring the menu to them.

Bai Yifan glanced over it casually, and found that there was nothing surprising about the dishes here, but more so-called "court dishes."

Bai Yifan flipped it twice and didn't look again. Instead, he turned his head and glanced at Manager Cao who was waiting on the side. He faintly asked, "Manager Cao, I would like to ask you a digression--"

"Bai Shao, please say." Manager Cao quickly bent down humbly.

"I don't know what the name of the big boss of Yuquan Palace is?" Bai Yifan asked seemingly casually.

"This—" Manager Cao's face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment. Seeing that Aaron also looked up at him at this time, the muscles on his face suddenly twitched in embarrassment, thinking in his heart. How to deal with this problem.

If it is a general guest, even if they are eligible to enjoy this "Splendid Mountain and River" box, Manager Cao still has a way to confuse this problem.

But the two people who are looking at him right now, although Bai Yifan's identity is unknown to him, he knows Aaron's background and origin--

A member of the immediate bloodline of the Cape Family, is also one of the heirs of this ancient Xizhou nobleman, and is currently responsible for some of the Cape Family's industries in Asia.

This identity is a VIP-level existence in any country in the world.

Although his big boss has a lot of energy in these four or nine cities and even the entire China, he will definitely not offend the brother of the Cape Family for no reason.

It's just that the name of his big boss is not something he can tell others. Bai Yifan's seemingly casual question put him, the hotel manager, into a dilemma for a while.

"Inconvenient to say?" Bai Yifan naturally saw the change in the expression on Manager Cao's face, but he didn't care, shrugged and said, "If it's inconvenient to say, then forget it. I just asked casually."
