It was not an unreasonable demand . They had done a good job during the shooting after all, and Qin Guan wouldn't negotiate with them any further due to his tight schedule .
The rich businessmen from Hong Kong and Southeast Asia were also fans of his and clients of his firm . It was okay to have dinner with them . As soon as Qin Guan agreed, Director Chen left to prepare . Actually, he couldn't stand Qin Guan's new house . There was no food or drinks in it, which made it hard for a man to be hospitable .
When Qin Guan reached the Cantonese cafe, he experienced for the first time the grand dinners Hong Kongers enjoyed . Everyone was sitting around two large round tables . Chen, who was sitting in the middle, waved at Qin Guan .
"Qin Guan, over here! I saved you a seat!"
Then he pointed to another table . "Your bodyguard can sit over there . This is a dinner with friends, not a business banquet . "
Han Zhujiu shot a glance at Qin Guan before heading to the other table . This was traditional Chinese dinner etiquette .
Americans preferred crazy parties, but Hong Kongers liked to chat leisurely during teatime and make decisions for their businesses . Some people even spent the whole day at tea cafes .
When Qin Guan took a seat, he was shocked by the number of the dishes . Guangdong cuisine was actually famous for its huge variety .
Chen showed off proudly to his friend . "Hong Kongers have a sharp nose . I just got to America yesterday and traced the smell all the way here . The cafe owner's family has been living in Guangdong for generations . His son is still studying in Hong Kong . "
As he talked, the waiter pushed a dining car towards their table .
"Hey, make yourself at home . I got hungry while I was waiting for you . Let's eat and chat!"
All the patrons were attracted by the smell . There were all kinds of desserts on the dining car, each one served in a different container .
Cute tiny buns with different fillings were served in bamboo steamer baskets, cold dishes were served in small white porcelain cups, and soup was served in deep bowls .
The small portions met the demands of the customers, who could taste more dishes that way . There were too many things for them to see and try .
Qin Guan nearly forgot about the people sitting around the table . He was too focused on the dining car right next to him . The Asian waiter addressed the young man sitting next to the host .
"What kind of tea would you prefer? Tieguanyin, incense, narcissus, chrysanthemum, jasmine?"
"Jasmine . I would also like . . . "
Everyone was shocked by his answer .
"A steamed vermicelli roll, sticky rice in a lotus leaf, a steamed bun stuffed with roast barbecue pork, steamed shrimp dumplings . . . "
Soon, more than 10 dishes were set on the table . Although they were small in size, their meat and heavy taste made them very filling . The entire meal was twice the size of an average meal in Southern China .
Before Chen could stop him, Qin Guan began to help the waiter move the dishes from the car to the table . When everyone had made their choice, they saw a pile of dishes mounted before the young man .
Qin Guan didn't feel embarrassed . "Let's start . We'll have a better talk with a full stomach!" he said before stuffing three dumplings into his mouth .
How can he do that? His mouth is not even that big!
The steamed vermicelli roll turned out to be Qin Guan's favorite . It was made according to a traditional cooking method, so it was as smooth as jelly . Everyone could see the filling clearly through the transparent crust .
The cook took advantage of the location to use local ingredients for the filling . He got rid of the fishbones first and then smashed the meat into a sauce . The shrimps were large North American shrimps, and the fish sauce and shrimp were stuffed into the pastry along with pork and steamed on the fire .
The delicious roll felt so smooth that the customers could taste the ocean inside it .
