The lady at the front desk skillfully helped Gao Xiang with the check-in procedures. Then, she asked the receptionist to bring Gao Xiang to the village villa!
Unlike ordinary luxury hotels, the rooms in the Aman Fayun Hotel were divided into several levels: village guest house, village suite, luxury village suite, village villa, and so on.
The Aman Fayun Hotel was not a high-rise building. It was made up of villas and suites in a village. There were 47 residences in total. It was built in the Tang Dynasty and was once inhabited by villagers in the nearby tea garden.
The residence here could be traced back to a hundred years ago. Today, it was renovated with traditional methods and craftsmanship. The brick walls and roof were made of wood, and the walkways and floors were paved with stone. The decoration and furnishings of the hotel were very unique.
It was antique, with white walls and black tiles, and green stones trickling down. All the details did not have the modern metallic feel.
It gave people a feeling of returning to their original state.
Under the guidance of the greeter, Gao Xiang arrived at the Xiaoyao Pavilion village villa.
The villa in the village had a double structure and a private courtyard.
There were three large words on the door curtain of the courtyard: Carefree Pavilion.
The plaque on the house was made of high-quality ginkgo wood. The couplet was carved with a large bamboo pole, and the carved calligraphy was colored in black.
The Carefree Pavilion had a courtyard surrounded by green bamboos and chirping birds.
The bamboo key opened the quaint wooden door. There was a long couch, bamboo chair, and sofa in the room. The colors were simple, and the furniture was all light yellow in the Ming and Qing dynasties. There were white pillows, simple but focused on the comfort of the guests. It had the atmosphere of an ancient village house.
Low-key luxury!
It matched Gao Xiang's temperament quite well.
It was indeed the Hermes in the hotel. It gave off an extraordinary feeling.
"I wish you a pleasant stay!"
"Thank you!"
Gao Xiang was extremely humble and polite to everyone.
Her temperament and upbringing were reflected in every detail.
After entering the villa, Gao Xiang put down his luggage and took a look around. It was already noon, so he got up and went to the Chinese restaurant of the Aman Fayun Hotel.
Aman Lanxuan was the hotel's Chinese restaurant, which was not inferior to the top restaurants in Hangzhou's food circle, such as Fragrance Restaurant, Lakeside 28, and Four Seasons Golden Sand Restaurant.
The entire dining room was decorated in a national style. After entering the door, one could see a huge painting of a lady from the Tang Dynasty. Below it were all kinds of yellow wine, Fen wine, and tea sets. The classical charm overflowed.
Gao Xiang liked the decoration of the restaurant very much. It made people feel very comfortable. It was low-key but luxurious!
Sitting down, even on a hot day, the grass hut in the Lanxuan Restaurant did not feel stuffy. The breeze blew, making people feel refreshed!
Looking around, there were quite a number of customers in the restaurant, but there was no air conditioner. However, it was very refreshing!
It was like a paradise.
Gao Xiang looked at the menu and asked the waiter about the specialty dishes of this restaurant. He ordered fried crispy fish in a large oil pan with wild tea oil, braised sea cucumber with scallions, shepherd's purse and green bamboo shoots, and a dessert of rose osmanthus peach dew.
Soon, the waiter brought a pot of tea and cutlery.
Ordinary Luo Han Guo tea!
However, it was completely different from the usual smell of soaking at home!
The shade was just right, with a burst of fragrance.
The tableware was ceramic bowls and Hangcheng's signature Tianzhu chopsticks.
The Tianzhu chopsticks were made of bamboo from Hangzhou and carried a faint bamboo fragrance.
Every detail was done to the extreme.
About five minutes later, Gao Xiang had just tasted the Luo Han Guo tea. The first dish was fried crispy fish in a large pot of wild tea oil.
Gao Xiang picked up his chopsticks and put a mouthful of fish meat into his mouth. In one bite, he could tell that it was grass carp.
The crisp fish was grass carp, but it did not have any earthy smell. It was obvious that it had been raised in running water for a few days before being made.
Wild mountain tea oil was expensive, and it was very compatible with fried crispy fish.
After taking a bite, it was oily, sweet, and crispy. The juice was rich, and the delicious taste surrounded his mouth.
The second dish was braised sea cucumber with green onions.
Gao Xiang didn't know much about sea cucumbers.
Gao Xiang had never seen this before, let alone eat it.
Therefore, he specially asked the waiter. The waiter seemed to be very familiar with every dish. He told Gao Xiang that these sea cucumbers were imported from America, and the soup was made of old hen, ham, pork bones, beef bones, abalone, and more than ten vegetables and spices. Finally, it was stewed with Gulong Tiancheng soy sauce.
Gao Xiang picked up a piece of sea cucumber and put it in his mouth. It was not hard and easy to eat. Moreover, the sea cucumber was very elastic.
The last dish was shepherd's purse and green bamboo shoots.
In Hangzhou, bamboo shoots were a regular dish, but Lanxuan Chinese Restaurant used green bamboo shoots.
The green bamboo shoots came from Treasure Island.
He picked up a piece of bamboo shoot and put it into his mouth. It was crisp with a hint of sweetness. Coupled with the bitterness of the mustard, it gave his taste buds a different experience.
Not bad.
Although it was Gao Xiang's first time coming to such a high-class restaurant to eat, his every word and action was very appropriate. He was not in a hurry, nor was he in a hurry. He did not wolf down his food like a nouveau riche, nor did he make a fuss like a first-time experiencer.
Some rich people came to such a high-class restaurant for the first time. They were afraid that others would see that they were Granny Liu who had entered the Grand View Garden and had not seen the world. Therefore, they felt stage fright and did not dare to speak loudly.
But Gao Xiang didn't!
Everything was natural, and the way he spoke was appropriate. An invisible temperament suddenly appeared, and it was one with this low-key and luxurious Chinese restaurant.
