"Listening to your words is worth ten years of food!"
Having solved the big problem in his heart, Ning Weimin is happy.
So the solid state sprouted, and he laughed again, and started talking nonsense with Kang Shude.
But the old man is the person who despises him the most for his frivolity.
"You're quite a grown man, and yet you're still so unstable. You're getting carried away, you know? I've told you this so many times, but you really can't change it?"
Ning Weimin didn't feel ashamed. Instead, he bowed like a monkey, trying to make every move possible.
"Yes, your old lesson is right. But haven't I learned the truth? I'm so happy. No wonder people say that having an old man in a family is like having a treasure. Your belly is like a grocery store. It saves me a lot of walking.
Detours, you are a beacon in my life, lighting up the way forward for me. What would I do without you? Who will dry my tears for me..."
Ning Weimin couldn't help but sing the last two lines. Leng asked his master to listen to the two lines of Peter Ho's song more than ten years in advance.
"Okay, stop it! Stop it! You brat, the more you make it, the more it gets out of control. Good guy, what are you singing, I'm getting goosebumps. Listen carefully, I have a few last words to say.
Let me tell you..."
Kang Shude was both angry and funny, so he couldn't help but give a few more instructions.
"First, it's like a mountain apart. Of course it's good that my words are useful to you. But after all, I am not a Qinxing practitioner. I only know the basics of Qinxing. What I tell you is actually just talk on paper. But you want to
Real money is thrown into it. If you want to go to the next step, you still have to ask a real expert for advice. Only those who really do this business will know the important tips that can make you money."
"And the experts I'm talking about are not just store managers. Everyone of the older generation knows that there are three treasures in a restaurant. Good cooks, waiters and waiters are also indispensable. If you smooth these three aspects, the business of the restaurant will be smooth.
That’s almost it. In addition to the chef’s skills being important, the waiter’s attentive service and the waiter’s politeness and etiquette are equally important. So what experts should I ask for advice? Just look for these people.”
"When you open a cigarette shop and rent a house in Huanghuamen, the landlord is an elderly chef. Since you say that someone is capable, you should not be ashamed to ask. For people who are really capable, you should never think that you are asking for money.
That's enough. You must be polite and polite again and again. If you really want to pay someone to do it for you, you can't just say hire it. You're asking them to do you a favor."
"Second, if you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you should do what you can and don't be greedy for big money. You have a good idea. You want to squeeze the grease out of the little devils and make real money out of their hands. This is also patriotic.
, that’s why I support you.”
"But thinking well is one thing, and striving for reality is another. You have to think clearly about where your customers come from and how big the situation can be supported. You'd better go to Fangshan in Beihai and Tingli Pavilion in the Summer Palace.
. Also look for the gap between your own ideas and reality. Once you have seen what others do, you can measure your own quality. If you really want to run a restaurant, you must be better than others.
Just be sure."
"You must fully consider your own conditions. If you are not as good as others, don't scream for the sake of grandeur and good looks. Just like many state-owned restaurants now, they are obviously restaurants, but the conditions of the restaurant insist on calling it a restaurant.
In fact, it's so stupid. Even if your peers don't laugh at you, it will affect your business. Because customers who really understand will think it's nonsense and will have a sense of distrust in you. Customers who don't know what's going on will be frightened by your bluff.
, and dare not come to the door."
"In a word, business is business, and buying and selling is trading. Business profits can be a blessing in the moment, but trading profits will not be a blessing in the long run. The bigger the business, the more you have to rely on your real skills. If your restaurant wants to prosper, what else is it called?
, but it depends on how you operate. You can fool others in any way you want, but you must not fool yourself with arrogance and self-righteousness."
Kang Shude's last warning clearly revealed his deep expectations and care for his disciples.
Moved by the old man's sincerity, Ning Weimin also stopped joking and agreed with a serious face.
"Yes, Master. I have remembered all your instructions, and I will never be careless about the things you reminded me. However, you don't need to worry about it. Because I am dragging the Service Bureau and the Temple of Heaven to do it together this time.
They attach great importance to me. They are my backers and will fully support me. Besides, state-owned units now pay attention to spreading, helping and leading. I want to speak for the restaurant, even if I invite people from Fangshan and Tingli Restaurant, I want to come to the district.
There is a way to do it."
"The same goes for funds. Pierre Carton, the Temple of Heaven, and the service bureau are all about money. If the worst happens, I'll get a bank loan. That's all I have to do for the government, and the compensation has nothing to do with me. The only trouble is still
The balance of interests in all aspects, and the issue of positioning. What you said is absolutely reasonable. You can't take advantage of the situation when buying and selling. You have to have real things to stand up. I should seriously consider my own strengths and weaknesses, and how to maximize my strengths and avoid weaknesses. I can't take it for granted.
, let alone think too simply.”
After a pause, Ning Weimin extended an invitation to the old man in order to express his gratitude.
"Master, I think we should stop talking like that. It's still early today, it's not even five o'clock in the afternoon yet. Why don't we choose a different day and go to Beihai Fangshan for a while?
?I will also treat you to a good official dinner. Then you can point to the real thing and explain it to me..."
Kang Shude was also impressed by Ning Weimin's filial piety and kindness, but he still shook his head and refused.
"Forget it, it's too luxurious for the two of us to just share an official table. In fact, I've already given everything in my stomach to you. There's no need for that. Besides, the people you should invite the most are those who
The people you work with..."
"No, Master, are you still polite to me? Anyway, I am spending French people's money, so I can reimburse you. How many meals are you asking for? You don't have to eat every day. We are also promoting consumption and earning foreign exchange for the country.
What a patriotic act..."
"Haha, you kid, you are such a reasonable talker."
Kang Shude couldn't help but be amused by Ning Weimin's fallacies again.
But the old man's backbone has not changed.
"I'm not being polite. In fact, since I heard about Mr. Song's words, I'm not very interested in those dishes. I'm too lazy to make this trip, so I dress seriously and go there to show off my official airs. That's called pretending to be a wolf with a big tail.
, boring."
"Besides, at my age, eating is just for the comfort of my mouth and stomach. When it comes to eating, the ingredients don't need to be expensive. Real food can only be made with care."
"What you said just now is right. It's better to choose the day than to catch it. When you came back, did you see the flowers of the old locust tree on our Qianmen Street? Are they blooming full of fragrance? Why don't I show you my unique skills?
Craftsmanship. Let you taste the seasonal freshness at our doorstep..."
Kang Shude was not bragging at all. Ning Weimin had never tried his so-called unique craftsmanship.
It is a kind of food that is unusual in the ordinary - Sophora japonica lazy dragon.
People in the capital are certainly no strangers to ordinary lazy dragons.
This is a unique local pasta that almost every household can make.
The usual method is to spread the prepared meat filling on the baking surface, then roll it up and steam it in the pot.
At one point, turn off the heat and remove the pot, and a lovely white dragon will be placed in the steamer.
Take it out and cut it into sections to make delicious meat rolls.
So the lazy dragon is also called the meat dragon.
As for why everyone loves to call it Lazy Dragon?
I'm afraid that in addition to being easy and time-saving to make, it's also because it's chubby and lazily lying in the pot, which naturally exudes a sense of laziness.
Things like this are used to pass the time, whether it is raising a dozen children, raising children, or losing socks while carrying shoes.
Or a large canteen is perfect for providing emergency meals for a family of 1,800 people.
Because it is really easy to do and there is no technical content.
As long as the dough is cooked well, it will be successful.
I think this was the first basic pasta that any girl in the capital learned to cook as a disciple.
However, if the word Sophora japonica is added to this ordinary home-cooked meal, it will be a different matter.
It completely changed from rough to refined, from popular to elegant, and it took a lot of work to do.
First, you have to go to the tree to pick flowers.
The required amount is not a small number. To make a pot, you have to reach two big arms from the tree.
Then you have to select and wash the flowers that have come down.
Don't want anything rotten, rotten, old, or with a bad color.
This matter is so trivial!
It's easy to get tired while talking, and your eyes won't work well if you don't look good.
Finally, spread this layer of carefully selected clean flowers on the dough, sprinkle a layer of fine diced fat meat, grab two handfuls of sugar, and then roll it up in a pot for steaming.
In the entire production process, it goes without saying that Ning Weimin was the hardest worker.
Climbing the ladder up the tree to reach the flowers, he couldn't let Kang Shude with his old arms and legs do it, right?
When it came to choosing flowers and washing tweed, the old man claimed that his eyesight was bad, and as an apprentice he couldn't refuse.
So, before the meal was even eaten, Ning Weimin was already regretting it.
He never expected that he would jump onto a pirate ship just like that.
He did these tasks that only women are good at for two hours.
The key is that not only does it make him feel anxious and angry, but it also makes him lose face.
Because the locust trees were blooming really well, many people came to the street, but those people were all writing about women and aunts!
He is the only male among them, what's going on!
As long as they are acquaintances, anyone who sees him playing with such old locust flowers will have to ask him what they are doing.
Naturally, he will inevitably be embarrassed and teased by the ladies who spend a lot of time with him.
But he can't complain yet. If he dares to show his teeth when he goes back, the old man will definitely give him a beating if he has something to say.
"Don't you like to taste everything? Then it's natural to do some work. If you want to eat something like me that you don't have anywhere else, then you have to not be afraid of embarrassment and work hard. I guarantee that it won't be over until you like it!"
Yes, he was so pouty that he had nothing to say. He could only blame his greediness, which was a problem that could never be changed in his life.
However, the old man has never let go of empty cannons, and only fills people up with words.
Even though Ning Weimin complained a lot when he was making this stuff, he was really satisfied when he ate it.
This thing is actually a beauty beyond the taste. The aroma and umami are outside the five flavors. The other is a kind of beauty with a refreshing fragrance and a unique flavor.
The scent of locust flowers in May! This is the first time for Ning Weimin to have such a deep understanding of this!
Because for him, this fragrance was not only fragrant in his nose today, but also fragrant in his mouth and stomach.
Coupled with a pot of millet porridge that can be peeled, a plate of cowpeas mixed with garlic, and a plate of yellow cabbage, this dinner cannot be more perfect.
So at the dinner table, Ning Weimin, who was eating noisy sophora flower meat rolls and slurping millet porridge, started to find something to say.
He first said that Luo Guangliang was blessed.
When you come back later, you can eat the ready-made food and enjoy the fruits of his labor. How many lifetimes of merit will it take?
Then he asked Kang Shude how he could make such ingenious home-cooked dishes. Is it the craftsmanship of his wife back then?
He even laughed and said that he was absolutely sure that this was the whimsical idea of a beautiful woman.
Such a meal should not be thought up by a man, because no man has such patience and will never find such trouble by himself.
But no matter how hard it is, it’s worth it, it’s really a delicacy in the world.
Especially the sweet reply, even makes people feel a kind of romance of walking in the green shade with the fragrance of flowers...
However, he only cared about feasting and chattering happily, but did not pay attention to it. When he mentioned this, Kang Shude's hand shaking the glass actually trembled a little, and a few drops of old wine spilled out.
For a moment, the old man even looked dazed.
Especially when the old man tore off a small piece of Sophora japonica roll and put it quietly into his mouth to chew.
I don’t know what I thought of, but there was something sparkling in the corners of my eyes...
