Yang Tai knew that from the beginning of the year to the present, the ICAC under the charge of Chen Shaoshan had investigated and dealt with many officials who violated the law and discipline, which aroused many people's discussions.

Most of these arguments are positive remarks, from which the people have seen the determination of the committee to govern the country.

Yang Tai naturally understands that the committee is setting the tone, including the ICAC, and the committee's announcement of cooperation and exchanges with Germany before, is to tell the people that they, those in power, are also working hard for the revival of the country.

Then Yang Tai asked: "By the way, my seat, what else do you want to order about the state banquet tonight?"

The committee member thought for a while and said: "Since you have made all the arrangements, I don't have anything to worry about, but you can go there in person before evening.

Remember, we must make sure that everything goes well. Tonight is our first state banquet in a long time, and we must not lose face in front of foreigners. "

"Understanding the appointment, I'll go and check it out for myself, and I promise I won't embarrass the country!"

After Yang Tai made the promise, he went to the No. [-] branch of Shengqing Restaurant on Xuanwu Road. After a short rest, he continued to sit down and deal with some matters.

After some time, he will also prepare to set off on 4.3 to meet with the German advisory group.

Unconsciously, the time came to night, and the sky gradually darkened.

As night fell, the streets in Jinling City were gradually lit up with lights.

However, the night at this time is not the city that never sleeps later, the nightlife is not so colorful, and the whole street seems relatively deserted.

But at this time, the No. [-] Xuanwu Road store of Shengqing Restaurant, as well as the streets and intersections around it were brightly lit.

Businesses elsewhere are about to close to thank customers, but here it is bustling.

If someone approaches the restaurant, they will find that there are countless people busy here.

But at this time, the entire entrance of the restaurant, including the streets and intersections nearby, had already been tightly locked down by soldiers.

Chapter 709: A [-]-Course State Banquet

Across the entire street from the restaurant, military sentry posts began to line up. From the outer streets to the entrance of the restaurant, there were sentry teams extending from all directions.

There is one sentry every five meters or so, which is a real three-step one sentry, five-step one sentry.

In addition to these sentry posts on the bright side, in the shadows of some buildings on both sides of the street, there are also some hidden sentry posts lurking at intervals.

These secret sentries are closely watching the surrounding situation at this time, strictly preventing any suspicious persons from appearing.

At the same time, near all the intersections near the No. [-] store of Xuanwu Road, Shengqing Restaurant, there were military officers and a team of soldiers setting up checkpoints.

There will be a total martial law in this area tonight, and no one is allowed to approach without an order.

In addition to sentry posts and checkpoints, there are military officers leading groups of soldiers to patrol the nearby streets. Soldiers will search back and forth in hidden corners and buildings that are easy to hide, to ensure that there is nothing there.

The patrolling team started from a block away, and was distributed from 09 to the entrance of the restaurant.

And each street has several teams of patrols checking at the same time, and headlights are installed on the top of the buildings everywhere, sweeping back and forth to certain key corners non-stop.

With such a posture, let alone a person, it is impossible for even a mosquito to fly in.

The reason why the military put up such a big battle was naturally that they had received orders from the committee.

Early this morning, the entire No. [-] store of Shengqing Restaurant on Xuanwu Road was contracted by the government for the purpose of holding a state banquet here to entertain the consultant team from Germany.

The advisory team this time is a military advisory group, and all of them are senior generals of the Germanic military.

And here tonight is not only the German advisory team, but also the commissioned seats and a group of high-level military generals.

With so many generals from the two countries gathered here, the military must do its best to ensure the security of this place and ensure the safety of the military officer teams and committee members of the two countries.

And in the No. [-] shop of Xuanwu Road, Shengqing Restaurant not far from here, Zhou Xian was busy going back and forth.

As the general manager of Huayin Catering Company, with such a big event tonight, he should sit here personally and take charge of the overall situation.

Like the No. [-] store, the entire No. [-] store will not be open tonight, but will be fully used as a command venue.

As the general manager of the catering company, Zhou Xian knew the importance of tonight's state banquet better than anyone else. This was the first time that Huaxia held such a large-scale state banquet in so many years.

The government chose this place without further ado, out of trust in Su Yun and also in Huayin Group.

Therefore, Zhou Xian did not dare to neglect at all. Since he received the notice a few days ago, he made the arrangement in person, and did all the big and small things by himself.

At present, Shengqing Restaurant has opened branches in cities all over the country. For this banquet, Zhou Xian personally issued an order to dispatch a large number of chefs and kitchen assistants from the branches in Guangzhou, Jinan, Shanghai, Chengdu, Bengbu and other places.

These chefs are the most outstanding chefs in all regions, and even the accompanying chefs are some of the most agile.

Today's No. [-] store has gathered famous chefs from all over the world, and chefs from the four major cuisines of Sichuan, Cantonese, Shandong, and Huaiyang are among them, and they are stepping up preparations.

And from early this morning, Zhou Xian dispatched some service staff from the branches of various Shengqing restaurants in Jinling City, and asked them to quickly rearrange the tables, chairs and decorations inside the restaurants.

To put it mildly, the state banquet at night is related to Su Yun's face and the reputation of Huayin Group.

On a larger scale, it is even more related to the dignity of the country.

Because of this, Zhou Xian attached great importance to this and spent a lot of thought.

These large and small tasks made Zhou Xian busy for a full day, and now things were almost arranged, Zhou Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even so, in the evening, he went to the No. [-] store to check in person to make sure there were no mistakes.

But now, Zhou Xian took advantage of the break to stand at the door and look out.

To be honest, he was a little surprised by the military's posture tonight.

Looking outside from the door of the No. [-] store, you can see many headlights installed on the street buildings in the distance looking back and forth. From time to time, under the lights, you will see a group of soldiers with live ammunition silently patrolling back and forth.

Under the night, the patrolling soldiers did not make any noise, only the faint sound of orderly footsteps.

And at the door and around the No. [-] store, there are teams of soldiers lined up around.

Each of these soldiers has a solemn expression, each of them holds a submachine gun in their hands, their eyes are hale and hearty, and they are ready to fight!

"It seems that the scene tonight is indeed very important. Fortunately, I have ordered it in advance. Now everything is ready, and there should be no mistakes."

Zhou Xian groaned and returned to the No. [-] store.

At this moment, Zhou Xian's chief butler, Zhou Quan, hurried in from the outside.

No. [-] store tonight was originally not allowed to enter and leave at will, but Zhou Xian and others, as well as the service staff of the restaurant, etc., all have special passes issued by the government, which is convenient for entering and leaving to clean up and arrange things.

When Zhou Quan arrived in front of him, Zhou Xian quickly asked, "How's the preparation inside?"

Zhou Quan took a breath and said: "Back to the master, all the decorations inside have been tidied up, and the dishes are all ready.

Among the four major cuisines, we selected a total of 240 dishes.

Sichuan cuisine is home-cooked and full of flavors. Kung Pao Chicken, Mapo Tofu, Twice-cooked Pork, Dengying Beef and other dishes are selected as representatives. Lu cuisine is mainly fine and neutral, neutral and atmospheric. Choose sweet and sour pork tenderloin, Yangguan three stacks, dark clouds supporting the moon, and Yellow River Carp and other dishes are representative.

Cantonese cuisine mainly has five tastes and six flavors. This time we mainly arranged Cantonese cuisine. We chose Dinghu Shangsu, Luo Hanzhai, glutinous rice chicken and other dishes. Dishes such as tofu and Pingqiao tofu are served on the table.

According to the master's instructions, these dishes are the most classic and representative dishes among the major cuisines.

Now the simmered and stewed dishes have already been put into the pot, and now they are simmering in the back kitchen, and they can be served at any time. The stir-fried dishes are all ready, and they can be fried immediately when they call for serving. "

This state banquet is mainly based on the dishes of the four major Chinese cuisines, supplemented by other local cuisines.

This morning, when Yang Tai came to arrange supervision, Zhou Xian had specially exchanged his ideas with him. They chose famous dishes from the four major Chinese cuisines to show the style of China.

This idea was also approved by Yang Tai.

Because of this, Zhou Xian recruited famous chefs from the four major cuisines from all over the country.

Listening to Zhou Quan's report, Zhou Xian didn't show any bored look on his face, but was extremely satisfied.

Chapter 710: Hidden Meaning in Speech

He knew that the government's decision to hold a state banquet with the four main cuisines this time was to promote Chinese culture and at the same time express the importance it attached to the German Advisory Group.

Now that Zhou Quan said that everything is ready, Zhou Xian is very satisfied.

"Very well, thank you for your hard work this time.

But now our work is not over yet, you can continue to watch inside later, and you must not make any mistakes.

The government has entrusted us with such an important matter because it trusts Huayin Group. We must keep our heads up. If there is any negligence, it will damage the reputation of the group. "

"Yes, master, I'll just go and watch, there will be absolutely no mistakes."

Zhou Quan's expression froze, and he immediately went to No. [-] store to take care of it.

Zhou Xian returned to his seat and sat down.

Now that the advisory group and the government team haven't come yet, he has to hurry up and think about what's wrong, and make up for it in time.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, there was a sudden sound of wheels rolling on the road on Xuanwu Road in the dark.

In the dim moonlight, one could see a convoy of more than a dozen black cars driving across the road, ignoring the soldiers patrolling past, and driving straight to the No. [-] store to stop.

"stand at attention!!!"

Seeing the convoy approaching, the two officers at the entrance of the hotel shouted loudly.

All of a sudden, the soldiers at the gate cheered up one by one, straightened their backs, and looked ahead.

After the dozens of vehicles stopped in turn, a soldier came down from the door. Some of these people were Chinese soldiers, and some had gray pupils of Germanic people. Their facial contours were obvious, and they were Germanic soldiers at first glance.

These soldiers are all senior generals of the two countries. Although the clothing styles of the two sides are different, there are flashing general stars inlaid on the shoulder straps.

They are both generals of the two countries!

Whichever country these military officers are in, they can be regarded as high-ranking generals, leading a party.

However, after they got off the car, they did not enter the restaurant in a hurry. Instead, they came to both sides of the door and waited sideways.

Under the eyes of everyone, the doors of the two black cars in front of the convoy were slowly opened, and the commissioner and a general got out of the car respectively.

After getting off the car, Wei Zuo walked side by side with the general, and entered the gate of the restaurant first.

At this time, the soldiers on both sides saluted the two of them one after another, and the high-ranking officers on both sides did not file in after the commissioned seat and the general entered.

The two officers on duty at the door noticed that the general next to the commissioned seat carried four general stars on his shoulders, and he was a first-level general.

Su Yun arrived at the same time as these convoys.

At this moment, Ai Zuo and the first-rank general entered the restaurant, while Su Yun followed among the crowd behind.

Seeing the back of the first-level general in front of him, Su Yun sighed a little.

He knew this general. Speaking of which, Su Yun admired him very much.

If he remembers correctly, on the eve of the Anti-Japanese War, it was this general who went all out to help China establish a modern defense force system.

However, it is a pity that the machinery and equipment he spent countless efforts to buy from Germany were resold by Fatty Kong.

When he came to the restaurant, Su Yun found that the layout had changed quite a bit.

In the hall in front of me, some tables and chairs that were originally arranged had already been rearranged to the two sides, and rearranged in a circular shape around the perimeter.

In the middle of the front of the hall is a huge round table.

Even some of the original partitions in the hall were removed. At this time, the entire hall was connected, and some of the original furnishings were also removed. The inside was tidy and spacious.

Seeing this, Su Yun couldn't help but nodded slightly.

It seems that Zhou Xian spent a lot of thought on today's dinner, and it should have started preparations a few days ago.

Otherwise, in a short time, he would not be able to rearrange the layout here.

Now that the banquet has not officially started, a group of military officers lined up on both sides to wait after entering the hall.

The commissioner came to the front, smiled and pressed everyone's hand.

"Generals, guests and friends, please sit down.

We are having a banquet here today. We welcome the visit of General Seekert with his military advisory group. The arrival of your country’s advisory group will definitely add luster to the friendship between the two countries.

In the future, I also hope that your country can cooperate sincerely with us, and our two countries will work together to develop together~々. "

The interpreter is the person who is on the side and translates the words of the delegates to the advisory group in real time.

After the delegates finished speaking, there was a round of applause at the scene.

Then he sat down and looked at General Seekert, who was the leader of the German Advisory Group for his visit to China.

At this time, after the commissioner finished speaking, he slightly gave up the middle position and made a gesture to invite Sektor to speak.

Sekt doesn't understand Chinese, but he can understand the meaning of the committee.
