Chapter 423 Then I'll go with you

"It doesn't matter whether we clean it or not. I just came here for a walk. You happen to be familiar with this place, so just show us around!"

"Okay, Master, please come this way."

The manager wiped his sweat and carefully led Chu Jiang around the palace.

Although the East Prince's Palace is not famous and is not open to the public, it was built very rigorously and was completely built in accordance with the shape of the Prince's Palace at that time.

In front of the entire palace is a magnificent mansion, and behind it is a deep and beautiful classical garden. The entire palace covers an area of ​​nearly 50,000 square meters.

There are more than a thousand rooms in the entire palace.

Of course most of the rooms were empty.

However, the maintenance work of the palace has been done quite well. Whether it is the carved corridors or the glazed tiles on the house, they are still as they were before.

These are the big trees that were once planted in the garden. They have grown stronger and stronger, and under the careful care of people, their branches and leaves are luxuriant, and they are like a canopy.

The manager led Chu Jiang and the three of them away for more than half an hour. Wang Cong and Qin Bin kept exclaiming, "This place is awesome. Brother Chu, you can't keep such a good place to yourself. What a big deal." Once it is opened and turned into an attraction, how much annual admission fees can be collected? ”

"That's right, if you don't use such a big place to make a profit and you don't live in it, then the annual maintenance fee will be several million. Isn't that just a waste of money?"

Chu Jiang didn't know how much the annual maintenance fee was, so he asked the manager.

The manager replied respectfully, "We have a total of sixteen cleaning staff here, responsible for the daily cleaning and cleaning of the palace, and six experienced workers, responsible for the daily repair and inspection of the palace. If there is any problem, we will Go and repair it immediately. There are also eighteen security guards responsible for daily patrols and guarding... As for the cultural relics preserved in the palace, people from relevant departments will come over every six months to perform maintenance and records. All annual expenses In total, it’s about four million.”

"It's such a waste that four million dollars just go down the drain!"

Wang Cong was heartbroken, "Brother Chu, are you really not going to let this go?"

"Why was it all in vain? Didn't I bring you here to play? It's not a waste if you can come here to play!"

Chu Jiang picked a nice big tree and stopped under it.

There is a very exquisite little pavilion under the big tree.

There are stone tables and benches inside the small pavilion.

Chu Jiang sat down directly on one of the stone benches, "Isn't it more comfortable for us to eat here than in those fancy places?"

"What Brother Chu said makes sense! Eating here is indeed a pretty good choice!"

Qin Bin also sat down, "But where can we get food here? You don't usually come here, so there shouldn't be a chef in the palace, right?"

"Master, do you plan to dine here? If you plan to dine here, then I will find someone to come over and clean this place now, and then I will order someone to deliver the food."

This place is actually quite clean. There is no garbage at all, just a few fallen leaves on the ground.

Chu Jiang didn't think there was anything wrong with falling leaves.

After all, choosing to eat here is all about nature.

He waved his hand and said, "There's no need to clean up or anything. Just go ahead and order food. I don't know what's delicious here. You can get some snacks to go with the wine and two bottles of good wine!"

"Yes, Master!"

The manager went to do it immediately.

About an hour later, the manager came over with four or five chefs holding a copper hot pot.

The manager bowed slightly to Chu Jiang, "Master, although our place has gone through several major renovations and the palace has a modern kitchen, but let me invite the chefs here and let them prepare the ingredients and fry them. Time It was too long, and I was afraid that you would no longer be interested in eating here, so I ordered a copper hot pot for you. I thought that if you eat hot pot outside, the food will not cool down quickly, and it is also suitable for drinking. "

"Yeah, not bad."

Chu Jiang nodded.

After getting Chu Jiang's approval, the manager immediately waved his hand and asked the chefs to place the copper hot pot on the table.

The hot hot pot soup started to steam quickly. Unlike those Sichuan-style hot pots, Imperial Hot Pot's hot pot adheres to the tradition and draws on the best of others to strive for excellence. The mutton selected is also the tenderest and best part of the mutton, and the meat slices are extremely tender. Thin, coupled with the aroma of seasonings, after scalding the mutton in the hot pot, dip it in seasonings, and stuff it into your mouth with satisfaction. It tastes fresh, refreshing, fat and not greasy.

This is the characteristic of Imperial Hotpot.

There are really few authentic ones elsewhere.

The chefs hired by the manager are all chefs from the old restaurant and have worked there for decades.

Wang Cong casually picked up a piece of mutton and rinsed it in the pot. Then he dipped it in the dipping sauce and stuffed it into his mouth. He gave a thumbs up, "Brother Chu, you'd better enjoy it. Don't tell me that eating hot pot here is really good." !”

Qin Bin laughed and said, "That's right, if we follow Brother Chu, what day will we not be popular and drink spicy food?"

"You are so good at flattering me!"

"Aren't you flattering me too?"

Chu Jiang smiled and said, "You can't stop your mouths if you eat. If you think it's delicious, eat more. Anyway, the mutton should be enough, right manager?"

"Yes, Master, in order to allow you to eat the freshest mutton, the meat you are cooking now are all freshly slaughtered lambs. There is a whole sheep!"

"If you say that, manager, I'll eat it with all my heart!"

Several people gathered around the hot pot to eat in a lively manner. I have to say that the taste of the mutton is really good. Not only does it not have any smell, but it also melts in the mouth with a lingering fragrance. After the Chu Jiang family hired a cook, it changed the pattern every day. Cooking all kinds of meat dishes, he no longer has much interest in eating meat. Instead, he eats more vegetables and light side dishes.

But today I was rinsing the meat slice by slice, and I ate too much without realizing it.

So several people slowed down in eating meat and drank a few sips of wine while eating.

The manager stood aside and poured wine consciously when he saw that their wine glasses were empty.

Chu Jiang had asked him to sit down and eat together, but he refused.

When they were almost done eating, they saw a security guard running over in a hurry, and then gave the manager a troubled look.

The manager glanced at him and said to him, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."

The security guard hesitated and said, "That group is here again!"

"here we go again?"

The manager frowned, "Then I'll go over and go with you."
