I opened a shopping mall in Xihuan
Chapter 135
As the owner of the Navia Hotel, Divlis is also a well-known wealthy businessman in Los Angeles, so he is also on the invitation list for the opening dinner of the hotel tonight.
Ever since he knew that Xia Zhisen was going to open a hotel, or next door to him, the string in Divlis' heart has been tense.
Although he kept reassuring himself that after years of operation, Navia has already cultivated a regular source of customers, and the newly opened Elf Hotel is nothing to fear, but seeing the people in the beautiful building next to them wearing work uniforms coming and going There are more and more people, but it still brings him a great sense of crisis.
Therefore, when he came to the banquet tonight, he also came with a scrutinizing gaze.
When he walked to the door of the banquet hall, he was first received by a handsome young man.
As the owner of a high-end hotel, Divlis has a very vicious eye, and he can recognize the other party's identity at a glance just by the curvature of the other party's smile and the way he salutes.
The name badge says manager, which is actually equivalent to the big housekeeper who is in charge of all affairs of this hotel.
So when he responded to the other party's greeting, he deliberately looked at the other party a few more times.
He had to admit that if it was about youth and appearance, the butler of his hotel would lose.
But the most important thing for a butler in a hotel is not to be beautiful, but his own quality and professional ability. He believes that in terms of how to make guests feel meticulous and thoughtful service, Navia must be better.
Comparing this, Divlis felt a little more relaxed.
But then, when he walked into the banquet hall and looked up to see the dazzling crystal curtains hanging down, the heartstrings were tensed again.
The decoration here is really luxurious and gorgeous. There are crystal lights like flowing water hanging from the top of the head. The floor under the feet reflects the brilliant galaxy above the head. The red lights of the candles on the candlesticks complement each other, creating the atmosphere of the banquet to the fullest.
Even Divlis, who came here to "detect the enemy's situation", when he suddenly stepped into this hall, he was surrounded by elegant music and the laughter of the guests, and the air was filled with sweets and wine, silk and perfume. With the soft aroma, he almost couldn't help being indulging in this banquet, forgetting his real purpose of coming here.
But it’s nothing, the elves have the architectural style of the elves, and the human race also has the architectural style of the human race. This hotel is indeed beautiful, but it is too novel. People will only try new things a few times occasionally, and join in the fun with different tastes , most of the time, the traditional Terran style is more popular.
In the Terran-style architecture, the interior decoration of the Navia Hotel is definitely in line with the mainstream aesthetics, and he has no doubts about this.
Divlis managed to comfort himself, and was about to taste the food prepared by the hotel chef, when he turned his head and met a familiar face.
This man has thick eyebrows, big eyes, a big nose, a square face, and two signature beards above his lips. He is his old enemy Sario.
There are only two high-end hotels on Schlevog Street. One is the Navia Hotel run by Divries, and the other is the Gold Powder Hotel in Sario. The two have been rivals for decades, and they are the businessmen of Los City. The famous "with me but without him" rival, did not expect to gather here tonight.
As the saying goes, the one who knows you best is often your enemy. Divlis only took one look at him, and he knew that this old guy came to "seek out the enemy's situation" just like himself.
Sure enough, Sario lowered his voice and said to him the next moment: "I asked the service desk about the price of the room here. Do you know how much the lowest room is for one night?"
Although Divlis didn't deal with him, but at this time he didn't care about the old grievances in the past, he asked directly: "How much?"
Sario shrugged his beard: "Eight silver coins and 68 copper."
Divlis raised one eyebrow: "Doesn't he have a special room here for servants?"
The room price of eight silver coins is not expensive in Divlis's opinion, but Sario said that this is the lowest room price, which is different from the Navia Hotel. The lowest room in his hotel is the servant room. Usually only two silver coins a night.
"Who knows, maybe the room with eight silver coins is for servants!" Sariou shook the liquid in the wine glass, looked around, then raised his chin and said, "Can you guess the most expensive room?" How much is a night?"
"Just say it directly."
Sario snorted softly: "One gold coin is 28 silver coins."
Divlis gasped: "Really?"
Sario shrugged his shoulders: "And it has quite a few of the most expensive rooms. In my opinion, this hotel is aiming to become the top hotel in Rose City."
Divlis turned his head to look at Youxia who was chatting with the guests not far away, and muttered to himself: "This is trying to overtake us all at once!"
Sario glanced back at him, as if he didn't think it was enough to stimulate his old opponent, he suggested, "You go and try the meal made by their chef."
"Have you eaten?"
Sario raised his glass: "I drank all the wine."
Divlis murmured inwardly, "It's a quick move," and then strode over to the glass display case in the dining area.
His eyes swept over the assortment of dishes, and first he chose a plate of red wine fried steak that looked the most attractive.
"Is this freshly made? Why is it still hot?" Divlis was very puzzled when he picked up the plate and felt the temperature coming from the plate.
"You don't need to ask, these glass cabinets must have been set with some kind of magic." Sario said, glancing at the desserts and drinks on the other side of the long table, he became more and more sure of his guess: "Look, put It’s full of food that needs to be kept warm.”
Divlis nodded thoughtfully, cut off a piece of beef with a knife and fork, and put it in his mouth. Before he started chewing, the rich and delicious sauce touched his tongue, which immediately amazed his taste buds.
He couldn't help wrinkling his brows, lowering his head while chewing the beef, savoring its taste with his heart. Although he didn't want to admit it, the taste of this dish was really outstanding, the meat was tender, the sauce was tasty, and the quality of the beef was also very good. No fishy smell.
The amount of a steak was very small, and Divlis finished the plate in two mouthfuls, and was still a little unsatisfied when he put down the tableware.
"How do you feel?" Sario asked.
"Not bad." He answered truthfully.
Sario laughed inexplicably, then handed him a strange-looking small bowl with a lid, and said, "Try this again."
Divlis brought a small bowl, opened the lid, and a fragrant smell came over his face.
He stirred the unfamiliar ingredients with a small spoon, looked at the clear golden soup in the bowl and asked, "What is this?"
Sario replied: "Don't ask so many questions, just take a sip first."
Seeing that his old enemy was so eager to taste the food, Divlis was mentally prepared that the taste of this bowl might be unexpected, but when he directly raised the small bowl and took a sip, he was still caught by the bowl. I was shocked by the deliciousness of the seemingly bland soup.
"Damn it!" He couldn't help but took another sip of the soup and tasted it in his mouth, but he couldn't figure out how its refreshing and delicious taste was made.
On the side, Sariou saw him repeating his facial expressions when he drank this bowl of soup for the first time, and finally felt a lot more comfortable, and then he replied slowly: "I asked the waiter, how is this called matsutake chicken soup? Can you eat the ingredients inside?"
Of course Divlis couldn't eat it.
He glanced at him, swallowed the soup, then put down the small bowl and said, "What are you afraid of?"
Salio didn't seem to expect him to change the subject so quickly, so he gave a puzzled "Oh".
"It's normal for an excellent chef to have a few specialty dishes, like your hotel's signature stewed veal knuckle and cold vegetable soup, our hotel also has herbed lamb chops and sweet rolls that are popular with guests," Divries leaned on the table He said in a relaxed tone, "The Elf Hotel has delicious food that they are good at, it's normal, you are too nervous."
Sario heard the meaning of his words, and smiled with the corners of his mouth open: "I originally wanted to put down my hatred and form an alliance with you. Since you think so, then I have nothing to say."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden noise at the entrance.
Both of them looked at the door for the first time, and when they turned around, they saw a particularly eye-catching silvery white in the crowd. After staring for a few seconds, they realized that they were five wood elves wearing white cloaks.
The guests who came to the dinner held by the wood elves obviously did not expect that there would be so many wood elves present at tonight's banquet besides Youxia. People chatted and discussed the identity of the visitor, and the atmosphere at the scene became a little boiling for a while.
In fact, beside the wood elf in the head, there are the city lord and his wife, but these two are not conspicuous enough standing next to a bunch of wood elves.
Divlis was also bewildered by the elf's beauty for a while before realizing that the castellan and his wife came in with them.
Sario squinted his eyes for a few times, shook his head and said: "In such a big battle, it will be very difficult to deal with this competitor in the same way as before. From now on, each will use his own ability! "
·
The city lord and the elf king met before, but it was the first time they met the great elder. The two met at the gate before, so Youxia introduced them and brought them into the banquet hall together.
During the process of entering, Su Manlan and the Santo had been talking in a friendly and polite manner, until Su Manlan suddenly asked, "Is Les Hodge the Santo's son?"
Herro was obviously taken aback, and Youxia, who was accompanying him, couldn't help but froze.
"Yes." After a brief silence, Herro responded: "I know he has a good relationship with Mr. Youxia, do you have any questions?"
Su Manlan glanced sideways at You Xia, who looked nervous, and then smiled at the city lord: "It's nothing."
You Xia breathed a sigh of relief quietly, the relationship between him and Rice was only known to his clansmen, and the city lord still didn't know about it.
There was no foreshadowing, You Xia was really worried that the Great Elder would suddenly say to Lord Hero, "Then we are our own family", how exciting it is.
·
Now that the city lord and the great elder have arrived, the additional tailoring session for tonight's banquet can begin.
In order to hold this ceremony, Youxia specially asked someone to build a small high platform inside, and Pearl gave a brief speech on the stage first, and then asked two waiters to help pull the prize, and invited the city lord, the city lord's wife, the great elder and several elf elders As the ribbon-cutter, Youxia also stood among them, and at the same time Pearl announced the official opening of the hotel, he cut the golden ribbon with the Summer Forest logo on it.
The ceremony was relatively simple, but it still made the guests feel the celebratory atmosphere, especially when the cutting was completed, the waiters on the scene who had rehearsed in advance applauded at the same time, and the other guests also responded. I joined them, so judging from the on-site feedback, the ceremony was held quite successfully.
After the tailoring was over, it was time for the ballroom dance, and before that, Youxia made a special announcement.
"Tonight, Xia Zhisen has arranged the most comfortable rooms for all guests. The hotel has already opened, but all are free tonight, so everyone can enjoy food, wine, singing and dancing to their heart's content, and carnival to their heart's content!"
Ever since he knew that Xia Zhisen was going to open a hotel, or next door to him, the string in Divlis' heart has been tense.
Although he kept reassuring himself that after years of operation, Navia has already cultivated a regular source of customers, and the newly opened Elf Hotel is nothing to fear, but seeing the people in the beautiful building next to them wearing work uniforms coming and going There are more and more people, but it still brings him a great sense of crisis.
