The place where Tong Xinyao invited them was a private restaurant called "Dong Family".
In recent years, private cuisine has been favored by diners. The so-called private cuisine, as the name implies, is a private dish, a private dish, that is, a specialty dish made by the host in other people's home.
Authentic private cuisine usually has no store sign, no fixed menu, and even no full-time waiters. However, the cooking techniques of the dishes are often ancestral, with a unique flavor, and limited supply, which can't be eaten in the restaurants in the market.
Of course, the price of high-end private cuisine is very high, and it usually needs to be booked a long time in advance. Some top private restaurants only cook one table of dishes a day, and the reservation is half a year later. It is impossible to book a temporary reservation.
However, it was the first time for Tong Xinyao to treat two big bosses. Therefore, Min Li, who was advising her, tried her best to find the boss of the Dong Family's Private Home Cuisine Restaurant and finally got what she wanted.
In fact, there are many five-star hotels in the capital, and it doesn't need to be so troublesome to have a meal, but Min Li thinks that it can't show Tong Xinyao's sincerity, so it is the last choice.
This Dong Family's Private Home Cuisine Restaurant was hidden in a private courtyard on South Street. Green bricks, stone tiles, and white walls surrounded by lush green trees could be seen. The environment was very elegant.
Lu Chen praised, "Xinyao is good. You chose a good place."
Chen Fei 'er nodded, "Xinyao can book a temporary seat, Xinyao is considerate …"
She has lived in the capital for a long time and is very familiar with private restaurants. She knows the difficulty of making a temporary appointment. She guessed that Tong Xinyao was lucky to meet a guest who temporarily canceled a reservation or added a seat.
But it is not easy.
Tong Xinyao blushed, "I don't know. It's all thanks to Sister Li."
Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er looked at each other and smiled.
Both of them like Tong Xinyao's character very much. Although her family is rich, she has never been spoiled. She is obedient and sensible. Even if she is popular now, she is no different from before.
Min Li said with a smile, "I don't dare to take credit. They heard that two big stars, Boss Lu and Boss Chen, are coming, so they specially held a special dinner to invite you."
Lu Chen couldn't help laughing. Lu Xi really chose the right person to assign Tong Xinyao as an assistant.
The door to the courtyard was tightly shut. Min Li went forward and lightly knocked on the lion head door. Not long after, someone opened the door from the inside.
The one who opened the door was a chubby, jubilant-looking man with a round head. When he saw Lu Chen and the others standing at the door, his two small eyes immediately narrowed into two slits. He cupped his hands in obeisance and said with a smile, "I heard the magpies singing just now, so I knew that distinguished guests had arrived. It's my honor to have you all visit my little restaurant!"
His Beijing accent was very smooth, and his smile was sincere and respectful, making people feel very comfortable listening to him.
Min Li asked, "Are you Mr. Dong?"
"That's right …"
The fatty grinned and said, "You must be Sister Min. This way please. "
Under his guidance, everyone followed over the threshold and moved forward along the stone path. As the refreshing jasmine fragrance hit their nostrils, they couldn't help but feel refreshed.
The first thing that came into view was the elegant and clean courtyard. Several sets of tables, chairs, and pavilions were covered by white gauze curtains. There were many private rooms on the left and right side of the courtyard. All of them were decorated in a combination of Chinese and Western style, elegant and romantic.
Lu Chen and the others entered one of the private rooms. The temperature inside was just right. The bowls, chopsticks, fruit plates, and cold plates on the table were also arranged, waiting for them to sit down.
The fatty went to prepare the wine and dishes. This kind of private restaurant doesn't order dishes. It only counts the number of people. Everyone will eat what the chef cooks. The taste and standard are absolutely first-class, and it is guaranteed that the guests will not be disappointed.
If the guests are disappointed, the restaurant naturally can't continue.
Although it was Tong Xinyao's treat tonight, Lu Chen was in charge. In addition to inviting Tan Ling, the reporter from People's Music, he also invited Tan Hong and his family.
Tan Hong was still on the way, but there were already six people here. Tong Xinyao also invited Lu Xi.
After a few hours of interviews in the afternoon, Tan Ling seemed to want to talk more. She continued to chat with Lu Chen. Of course, the topic was not as formal as before, but it did not deviate from the original topic.
In fact, the topic of pop music and traditional music was enough to write a thick book. From the beginning to the present, it may not be finished even after a few days of chatting.
Chen Fei 'er found it interesting and joined in the conversation.
Lu Xi told Min Li about Tong Xinyao's nationwide publicity tour. The atmosphere in the private room was very warm.
Not long after, Tan Hong came with his wife and little daughter.
"Sister Fei 'er!"
Tan Hong got married very early. His wife, Song Wanliu, was also his first girlfriend. The two helped each other in difficult times for more than 20 years. Their deep relationship could be said to be a role model in the circle. They had a son and a daughter together.
Tan Hong's son was currently studying abroad. His little daughter, Tan Jiawan, was just seven years old. She was innocent and lively. When she saw Chen Fei 'er, she immediately rushed up and said, "I missed you so much!"
"I missed you too …"
Chen Fei'er smiled and picked her up and kissed her on her blushing face.
Chen Fei 'er and Tan Hong had known each other for many years. He was very familiar with his family and liked this little girl the most.
"Brother Tan, sister-in-law …"
Lu Chen complained to Tan Hong, "It's not easy to invite you. It's all thanks to Reporter Tan."
Originally, Tan Hong said that he wouldn't come, so it was Tan Ling who settled it.
Song Wanliu smiled and said, "He has become an old man who doesn't want to go anywhere!"
Tan Hong was born in the 1970s. He wasn't very old, but he retired and really stayed away from the entertainment circle.
Tan Jiawan shouted, "Yes, Mom said that Dad is the laziest!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Lu Chen reached out to Tan Jiawan and said, "Little Wan 'er, long time no see. Let uncle hug you."
He knew Tan Hong's family, but he didn't see them much, but he also liked Tan Jiawan very much.
"No!"
Tan Jiawan immediately turned her head and said, "Mom said that girls can't be hugged by boys!"
The laughter became louder.
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and touched his nose, saying, "Your mother is right …"
He introduced to Tan Hong, "This is Tong Xinyao from my company. She is treating us tonight."
Tan Hong nodded and said, "Hello."
Tong Xinyao stuttered a little, "Tan … Teacher Tan, nice to meet you!"
She knew that Tan Hong was coming, but she was really excited when she saw him in person. She couldn't help but bow.
Tan Hong smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite. Let's sit down and talk."
So everyone sat down again, including the nine members of Tan Hong's family. It was really a happy gathering.
