Recall the ninth old hotel in Taiyuan: Dongjiang Hotel

After the above mentioned Beihai fishing village, everyone in the comment area is particularly lively, have recalled their hearts taiyuan before the bullish hotel, some people mentioned Jia Ningna, some people mentioned the Pearl of the South China Sea, some people mentioned the daily fishing port, some people mentioned the New Century Restaurant, I remember that Taiyuan did not open the West Sea Hotel, a friend reminded me, Taiyuan also opened the West Sea Hotel, in the next Yuan, the owner's surname is Qiu. Haha it seems that the hotel in Taiyuan's east, west, south and north seas is fully opened, no wonder xu boss set ambitions when he started a business. The name of the hotel as overseas sea, that is, there are mountains outside the mountains, overseas seas mean, the facts have proved that the overseas sea has gained a firm foothold in the fierce market competition in the Taiyuan food industry, and the smiling pride of the rivers and lakes has reached its peak.

A friend even mentioned the Bulga Hotel, which surprised me, this hotel is the first private Western restaurant in Taiyuan City in the late eighties, located in the garden of the west bridge of the Yingze Bridge, the scenery is very beautiful, the decoration has a very characteristic, a large floor-to-ceiling stained glass window, at that time there was a small bottle of foreign beer that was rare in Taiyuan City, the boss seemed to be called Pei Jin, but unfortunately the opening time was not long, because the dishes did not serve Taiyuan water and soil, the price was relatively expensive and closed. Some people joke that just rush the owner's name, this restaurant will not be open for a long time. Later, Taiyuan only had the Huizhou Hotel and Hong Kong Western Restaurant (made of cans of braised beef, puff pastry mushroom soup, cream grilled prawns are very delicious) and Shanxi Hotel on the first floor of the Western restaurant two can eat Western food, Shanxi Hotel introduced a Russian team to make authentic borscht, Black Lieba, Russian dumplings, also a sensation. At that time, the Western restaurant of the grand hotel in addition to the meal point, was used as a café to drink tea and talk about things, is the most fashionable and fashionable tea restaurant in Taiyuan, how much oil in it has been negotiated into hundreds of millions of business, later.

Old Mr. Mencius said (not Confucius said), food color, sex also, what does it mean? It is the so-called diet, which belongs to the people's livelihood problem; the so-called relationship between men and women belongs to the health problem, and no one in life can do without these two things, and everyone should not pretend to be B. Think of Taiyuan in the 90s, before the reform and opening up, the tertiary industry took the lead in development, whether it is a hotel or a song city or a sauna, it is prosperous, known as the back garden of Beijing, the pistachio of North China. Every weekend, whether it is a Guangdong restaurant, Tangdu Hotel or Beihai Fishing Village, the royal abalone is full of guests who come from Beijing to eat, after eating to Jinchangsheng Xianhe and other companies to sing, and then to the Gold Coast New World Huayu Bitao Pavilion Lotus Garden and other sauna bathing has become a fashion behavior of Beijing people to spend the weekend, such consumption directly pulled Taiyuan civic capital to the hotel Songcheng sauna industry crazy investment, Dongjiang Hotel was born in this context.

As I said earlier, the most cattle B in Taiyuan Hotels are in addition to the sea system (such as the East China Sea and the North Sea), which is the river system (Xiangjiang Dongjiang Yangtze River, etc.). When I was young, I used to wonder why hotels in Taiyuan were named after the sea, the river and the like. Later, after hanging out with some fortune tellers for a long time, I understood a little yin and yang gossip, and only then did I know that the Loess Plateau was short of water, and water represented wealth. Rich oil companies are willing to use the sea and the river to name their investment, so that they can enter the gold every day and the source of wealth is rolling in.

The first representative of the Jiangshi Hotel is the Xiangjiang Restaurant, opened on the first and second floors of the podium building of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Xinjian North Road, the gate is on Fuxi Street, the original store is called the Hong Kong Restaurant, the decoration is extremely luxurious, it is also opened by Cantonese people, it belongs to the high-end Cantonese cuisine, but the business is not good and soon closes. Xiangjiang Hotel was originally called Fuhao Restaurant, is the first Huaiyang restaurant in Taiyuan opened at the south entrance of Food Street on New Year's Day 1986, the owner's surname is Zhai, its thousands of gold is extremely beautiful, is a flower of the Provincial Armed Police Hospital, when I was in college, I had the privilege of seeing Fang, a grass green armed police dress, white high heels, slim and gorgeous, bright eyes and bright teeth, heroic posture, is the dream lover of many of our college students, I heard that I later got a disease that affected the red face and haggard. Alas, the three major tragedies of the ancient people's life, the beauty of the twilight, the end of the hero, and the end of Jiang Lang, can be described as the truth.

At that time, Fuhao Restaurant was the highest grade restaurant on the food street, the name of the shop was personally inscribed by Mr. Fan Zeng, the upper and lower floors, the antique, the first floor of the scattered seats, the second floor for the box, the main Huaiyang cuisine, large boiled dried silk, lion's head, crystal meat, xiangyou eel silk, Pingqiao tofu, Huangqiao baked cake, etc. are very famous, then the secretary of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee and the governor are Jiangsu people, especially love to taste the cuisine here. After moving to Fuxi Street, renamed Xiangjiang Hotel, still focusing on Huaiyang cuisine, the general manager of the store is an old Keler in his fifties, teeth white lips red personable, small head is always shiny, wearing a purple suit with vest, feet are a pair of carved leather shoes, unfortunately the management of the hotel lacks vigor, the recipe has not changed over the years, the four big Diamond meat ring oil eel big boiled dry silk stewed lion head for more than ten years will always dominate the table, although it was designated as the reception restaurant of the Taiyuan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, it undertook a lot of official reception business. But when the cantonese upstarts bloomed, Huaiyang cuisine, like Jiang Langcai, was quickly eliminated due to lack of competitiveness.

The Yangtze River Restaurant is opened in Shuixiguan Street, which is said to be opened by the owner of The Guidu Mall, who is from haizibian training stalls and is also a grassroots hero who has worked hard step by step. The Yangtze River just started to take the high-end route of Cantonese cuisine, very popular, but then the management team business ideas repeatedly out of the tricks, do some fifteen yuan three scallops 20 yuan five pippi shrimp and other small ideas to attract guests, more and more like the direction of the street shop development, more and more importantly, also every day to undertake wedding banquets, every meal, twenty minutes can not squeeze into the elevator. The big oil people felt ashamed and did not want to go. What is even more fatal is that after the eight regulations, the thirteen stores opened by the Yangtze River in various places lost 40 to 50 million yuan in half a year, and finally had to close their doors.

It is said that there is a restaurant opposite the wangfu abalone on Taoyuan South Road, called the Fred Hotel, which is luxuriously decorated, but the business can fade out of the bird. Suddenly, one day, the head of the city changed the banner of the king and changed its name to Dongjiang Hotel. At that time, the Taiyuan food market, the Tang capital Of the East China Sea Yangtze River has been very large, at first everyone did not pay attention to where this East River Hotel came from? But its business style soon became a hit.

First, wealth is compelling. Regardless of winter and summer, there will always be two rows of six long-legged beautiful women at the door (linfen Daning County is the majority of beautiful women here) listed in two rows, uniformly wearing a sky blue welcome long skirt, wearing a blue beret, a walkie-talkie, taking the business card title is all the French Paris Gastronomy Association, the British London Gastronomy Association, the American New York Gourmet Association, etc. Printed with five or six crowns of high-end business cards, a hard to stuff into your arms, The beauties were personally greeted by a general manager of Ma, who wore a suit and tie and wore headphones, who was originally a manager at the Gorgeous Gate Nightclub in Wenyuan Lane (this gong was originally a famous cross-talk actor, who was transferred because of the downturn in the literary and art circles, and now he is back out of the mountain to say cross-talk at the Zhongzheng Tianjie Haoyue Theater, and is also a Taiyuan cultural celebrity), so that as soon as you enter the hotel, you will have a kind of shock of being able to be the president at noon and eating at night at this dinner the next day.

Second, the quality of the meals is very strong. As soon as you enter the door, there are three layers of high-end atmosphere seafood pond, Sumei East Star Elephant Pulling Mussel Base Shrimp and other seafood around, although the dish is mainly high-end Cantonese cuisine, but the home cooking is not bad, including plagiarized learning from the Salted Chicken of the East Sea, potato shredded fried soybean noodles and other home-cooked dishes, more fennel white fried slices of small stir-fried meat stir-fried steamed steamed bread fried with oil meat stir-fried tip and other Dongjiang characteristics at any time to offer, as well as grilled large stuffed meat mixed bun is also a must-have staple food invented by his family.

The third is to be good at creating an atmosphere of hunger and thirst. Calling the main desk to book a private room is basically never (probably prefer to be empty than give you a decision), you must call the beautiful managers to be fixed. Jianghu legend says that the Dongjiang private room is full every day, and whoever books it is who has doubled face. Ranked officials, Taiyuan people go to the hotel like to get together to rush to the field, who has a good business, it means that whose family is a big oil, you have to book can not explain that they are not big oil, so the door is full of traffic every day, sweat and cattle, big oil yingmen.

The fourth is to quickly form a chain to reduce costs. After the red of the Dongjiang Hotel, the new Dongjiang Hotel, the Blue Sky New Port, the Dongjiang Seafood Hot Pot and other shops were opened. Take the New Dongjiang Hotel as an example, opened next to the activity center of the old cadres of the provincial party committee, parking is secret, and the decoration is high-grade. Each private room can overlook the Fenhe River, the key to the excellent location of this shop is next to the provincial party committee, please lead and private and convenient, folk jokes are the second canteen of the provincial party committee. Of course, the high grade means that the knife is fast, Biga launched a fish called can not forget, said to be airlifted from Thailand, steamed very fat, the fish meat is delicate, fish scales can also be accompanied by rice, a pound price of 3,000 yuan, each fish at least two pounds or more, and limited supply, 20 per day, you do not book there, there are hairy crab oysters and oysters are the best, the price is of course high.

Fifth, the public relations team has been upgraded. The beautiful greeters at the door, except for a bunch of people who have resigned in large sums of money, have been trained to become marketing managers. These girls have a first-class appearance and emotional intelligence, understand people's feelings, have a large number of resources for distinguished guests, text you every day, do not say order food, only greet your body, winter reminds you that the weather is cold, pay attention to adding clothes, and remind you to wear less clothes in the summer to cool off the heat. But where the big oil goes to the East River to order food, they are arranged for these managers to book the room, as soon as they enter the hall, the female managers have long been waiting for it, greeted them, the brothers and brothers shouted non-stop, holding you on to the private room, too face-saving. After entering the private room, these girls surrounded around, you said toast toast, you sang singing, you said you want to eat Wang Ping noodle skin soba noodle enema that the hotel does not have, and immediately went outside at your own expense to bring it back to you, so that the big oils who invited guests felt more face-saving, younger and more beautiful than the beautiful managers of the second boss of Beihai Fishing.

The sixth is to lead the trend of high-end dishes in Taiyuan. In 2008, most of the provincial government departments and bureaus moved to the former 63rd Army Headquarters on Wucheng Road. Dongjiang immediately opened a branch on Changfeng Street. Business is still very hot, this shop features a brine platter, the platter is not goosefoot goose wings duck wings duck legs, but abalone foie gras tuna belly salmon belly. There is also a feature of the Hong Kong-style seafood side stove, beef is all Japanese Wagyu beef, with sea cucumber elephant mussels to pull mussels East Star Spotted Prawns, the price is undoubtedly greatly good. Eating in Dongjiang, you are embarrassed to ask the price, talking about money in Dongjiang is very vulgar, because diners are either holding checks or swiping cards, more than 20,000 or 30,000 yuan for a meal, who carries so much cash with them?

Brother Xiang, the boss of the Dongjiang Department, is really a wizard on the Taiyuan River. This public business absolutely has a set, know people good, unique vision, give him a little brother to drive now in Taiyuan Pingyang Road and meat factory also operated two high-end hotels Mingyue Bay, ingredients or take the high-precision road, business is still hot. But it is said that his only drawback is good table sports, and later the New Dongjiang Hotel, the Blue Sky Newport Hotel lost to friends on the table, although the daily turnover is high, the last to collect money are a bunch of cold-eyed horse boys of the creditors. The hero is at the end of the road, but alas. With the introduction of the eight regulations, overnight, all the hotels in Dongjiang were opened to customs clearance, and this hatred lasted for an endless period, becoming one of the biggest regrets in the Taiyuan food industry.
