One day in September 1973, Hangzhou ushered in the grand occasion of the visit of the French Pompidou, and the building became a witness to this historical moment. **I was grateful for the hard work of the entourage, and after learning about the reputation of the food in the outer building, I decided to invite everyone to go and taste it together. This restaurant has a history of 100 years, and its signature dishes such as West Lake vinegar fish, Zhaohua Tong chicken, Song Sister-in-law fish soup, and West Lake Yipin pot are even more famous at home and abroad. By the afternoon, there were not many guests in the hotel, and several waiters were chatting.
The entourage asked if there was still food, and the friendly waiter seated them and went to ask the chef. At this moment, ** also pushed the door in, and the waiters were stunned, because they had accompanied foreign guests before, and this sudden visit caught them off guard. However, ** smiled and said: "Don't be restrained, we are just here to eat, especially these young comrades, they are all coming to this restaurant for the first time, and they want to taste your best dishes." ”。The person in charge of the hotel immediately rushed to inform him apologetically: "Now only the vinegar fish in the West Lake, called Huatong chicken, has been sold out." ”。
** said: "West Lake vinegar fish is very good, this is your signature dish, two more side dishes are enough, we don't have many people, don't waste it." ”。Soon, the vinegar fish from West Lake was on the table, with good color and flavor, which attracted everyone's praise, and it was all eaten after a while, and it was still unfinished. After the meal, Gao Zhenpu went to check out, and the entourage left the hotel with ***. Gao Zhenpu returned to the car after checking out, ** asked how much money was spent, Gao Zhenpu replied: "It's 10 in total."1 yuan, and an invoice. ”。
**After hearing this, he frowned and said: "The vinegar fish in West Lake alone is more than 10 yuan, they must have charged less, this is not in line with the rules, you pay them 10 yuan more." ”。Gao Zhenpu understood the principle of ***, hurriedly returned to the hotel, and handed over the extra 10 yuan to the person in charge. ** The Prime Minister's noble character is reflected in the story of his refusal to engage in special and pay for meals three times. On one occasion, the person in charge of the restaurant was reluctant to charge another 10 yuan, saying that it was a great honor for the prime minister to come and that no additional charges should be charged.
However, Gao Zhenpu insisted: "This is the prime minister's rule, if you don't charge the 10 yuan, the prime minister will not leave." At his insistence, the person in charge of the hotel reluctantly accepted the 10 yuan and reissued the invoice. After that, Gao Zhenpu privately asked the waiter that other guests needed to pay 30 yuan for the same dish, and reported to ***. **After listening, he said that he should give more. Although I couldn't go back immediately because of something at that time, after returning to the provincial reception in the evening, ** gave 10 yuan again and asked them to transfer it to the hotel.
After receiving this supplement, Louwailou Hotel was very moved, and specially wrote a letter to express its gratitude, and attached a detailed list to prove that the cost of ingredients plus processing fees and service fees totaled less than 20 yuan, and 30 yuan was enough. **After seeing it, he nodded and praised it, and emphasized that it should be strictly paid according to the actual situation, and it is never allowed to pay less.
