Li Xiao took out his mobile phone and was about to call a Didi to go home.
Although he doesn't have to get up early to work, considering that drinking alone in a bar may trigger some strange plots, such as a drunk girl striking up a conversation, rescuing a girl who is surrounded by club members, or a drugged girl rushing to Li Xiao
Seek refuge around you.
After all, as the winner of the system, the center of the world, and a young male with good looks and intelligence, it is only natural that he would encounter such a thing in a bar.
Seeing Li Xiao's actions, the monitor quickly spoke:
"I drove here, why don't I take you back first?"
"Isn't this bad? And you haven't been drinking? You can't drive after drinking. There are thousands of roads, and safety comes first."
Li Xiao quickly reminded him, fearing that his squad leader would do something against the law.
"What are you thinking about? The driver is driving, and I happen to have some documents in the car, so I can chat with you."
The monitor looked at Li Xiao with an expression that said if he dared to drive by himself, he would call the police and felt a little funny.
Li Xiao thought about it for a moment, not knowing whether he wanted to hitchhike or to supervise the squad leader not to drink and drive, but he still nodded in agreement.
After all, if there is a driver in the car, they are not alone, there will be no misunderstandings, and there is no possibility of triggering any charming plot, and they are still working, so it doesn't matter much.
The driver soon drove over again, and the driver the squad leader mentioned was actually a woman.
Seeing Li Xiao's surprised look, the monitor introduced him
"This is Sister Ling, my driver and assistant."
Li Xiao looked up and down at Sister Ling in the cab and said hello politely.
"Sister Ying, hello."
Although this person is called Sister Ling, she looks quite old. Under the dim light, you can see that she has several white hairs on her head. She is probably at least 45 years old.
According to most of the characters in the novel, this should be an old employee sent by his father's company.
The squad leader's car is a white Cayenne. Apart from knowing that this car is expensive, Li Xiao doesn't know your specific price at all. As for its displacement and acceleration from 100 kilometers, Li Xiao knows nothing about it.
However, as soon as he entered the car, he felt that a luxury car was different from an ordinary car. The space inside the car was very spacious.
After the squad leader and Li Xiao sat in the back row, there was a considerable distance between them.
The two closed the car door, and Sister Lin in the front seat turned her head slightly and asked
"Where are we going now? Are we sending this gentleman home directly?"
The squad leader quickly turned his head and pointed his eyes at Li Xiao to tell him his home address.
Li Xiao opened his mouth and told the address of his new home. Sister Ling didn't say anything, and she didn't show the slightest surprise on her face.
After all, there is really nothing strange about someone who knows the young lady living in Longding Palace.
Although the Cayenne is not considered a top-notch luxury car, its comfort and sound insulation completely surpass any Didi Li Xiao has built before.
Once the car door is closed, the inside and outside of the car become two worlds, comfortable and quiet, and people's defenses can be relaxed immediately, with the car's outer shell and sealing strips helping to isolate them.
It’s no wonder that many office workers after a tiring day like to lean on their driver’s seat quietly, listen to music quietly for a while, or smoke a cigarette comfortably.
The squad leader picked up a bag of documents, pulled out four or five pieces of paper and handed them to Li Xiao.
"These are some of the documents. I will send you a more detailed electronic version when I get home."
"My new restaurant is a new type of molecular cuisine, focusing on the innovation of Cantonese cuisine. Because the model may be different from traditional Cantonese cuisine, I have been trying to find a anchor with enough weight to attract traffic through live broadcast."
"In addition, we have also contacted many evaluation accounts and public accounts before, and we will promote it at the same time."
"However, we have never found a suitable anchor. Although the number of fans we found before is pretty good, most of them are not in line with our purpose."
"However, the target group of our stores should be younger. People under the age of 35 may not exceed 40 at most. This group of people is the main force watching live broadcasts, so the promotion of anchors is still essential.
"
"But in the end, I went through a lot of screening and saw your information. Although your quotation was not posted online, I still felt that you were the most suitable, so I found you just now, Ding You."
"And it might be better to use local anchors for local promotion."
.........
Li Xiao was flipping through the information in his hand and listening to the squad leader's explanation. A familiar feeling came to his mind quickly.
He frowned slightly and quickly flipped through the memories in his mind, trying to find out where this feeling of familiarity came from. Soon he took a breath of cold air.
Because he finally found the source of his familiarity in the corner of his memory.
The set menu is mainly exquisite, and the color combination is so gorgeous. Isn’t this the Twelve Hours created by Xie Guoyong?
It’s just that the weight here is smaller, and the level of sophistication seems to be slightly improved. Of course, this may also be because of the need to shoot traffic, so the production is more careful.
Li Xiao frowned. He didn't think this model was bad. On the contrary, if it was purely for the business model and not for the pursuit of delicious food, a new-style gourmet restaurant with different new elements, it would actually cater to the market better.
After all, people nowadays will take pictures in their circle of friends whenever they encounter anything of interest, and those pictures in the booklet in his hand are.
If it can maintain its good looks after mass production, it will only be a matter of time before it becomes popular among friends.
With the popularity promotion in Moments, there is no need to worry about the customer flow of the store at all.
But there’s nothing to worry about, it’s just the initial stage.
You must know that Dongguan is not a tourist city. Relying on freshness to attract customers is not a long-term solution. Once a customer feels that the food tastes too ordinary and the price exceeds his expectations, after a brief visit once or twice,
, and may not come back again.
Beautiful is beautiful, but for things like Moments, you can only show it off once or twice in the same place in the same place. Showing off too much will not only reduce the price, but many people will even think that you may use previous pictures to cheat likes.
Of course, considering the population size of Dongguan, the crowd in a city is definitely enough for one store to absorb for two or three years.
As long as the taste decline is not serious, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Therefore, the key is to see how good the taste is. He took a look at the beautiful pictures and frowned deeply.
The monitor on the side had been quietly paying attention to Li Xiao. Seeing Li Xiao's brows frowning more and more, he asked in confusion.
"Did you find any problem?"
After all, as a professional food anchor, Li Xiao is either visiting a store or on the way to visit a store. He may easily discover some problems that ordinary people cannot see.
As a layman, it was her first time to start a business, so she was willing to listen to other people's opinions.
Li Xiao looked away from the documents in his hand. The squad leader's fat little face was slightly rosy due to drinking. There was nervousness on his face and doubts in his eyes.
Li Xiao looked carefully and made sure he didn't see any dissatisfaction in the other person's eyes before speaking hesitantly.
"I've seen a similar restaurant in Hangzhou. Although the food there is vegetarian, it's very similar to what your restaurant serves, monitor."
"Although that store's business has been pretty good since it opened, and because it's by the West Lake, this good business will last for a long time."
"But after it has been operating for a period of time, it will have some bad reviews. It should be said that there are a lot of bad reviews."
"Because its form is larger than reality, and the taste is not as good as expected. When everyone sees such an exquisite meal, his psychological expectations will actually be heightened, that is, the expectation value will become higher.
.”
"When it comes to a meal, the sight and smell are the first to be conveyed to the brain. Can you understand this?"
The squad leader frowned slightly, thought carefully for a while, nodded and said,
"Well, I think I can probably understand what you mean."
Li Xiao has been carefully observing the other party's expression. If something goes wrong, he will immediately change his strategy. After all, most of the advice is unpleasant to the ears, and most of the suggestions and persuasion will be particularly unpleasant.
"Moreover, now that the squad leader is preparing to open the business, there are not many things that can be changed."
Just listen to the squad leader continue to say
"But you don't have to worry too much about this. The chef is a three-star senior chef. I finally found someone to hire him. I have also tried the food. Although it is not spectacular, it is still very good."
Three-star senior chef? Li Xiao's brows, which had relaxed, tended to reappear, and this sense of familiarity returned.
He took a deep breath, and a name that had not appeared for a long time appeared in the center.
That guy did go in, but if he behaved better inside, shouldn't he be released as well?
He hesitated for two seconds before speaking.
"Is that chef's name Xie Guoyong?"
He named the chef from Zhizhu who was sent in by him.
He was very worried that the squad leader would nod slightly, and even have a surprised expression on his face like "Have you investigated me? Why do you know this?"
Li Xiao's eyes fell nervously on the other party, but fortunately things did not develop to the worst. The squad leader shook his head.
"The name of my three-star senior chef is He Beibei, not Xie Guoyong."
Li Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard the name coming from the squad leader's mouth.
He was really afraid that things would develop in such a bloody way and it would not end well by then.
If it was really Xie Guoyong, Li Xiao would definitely stop his squad leader from hiring him, even if he tried his best to replace him for a period of time.
After all, even if a guy with such a bad character has good talents, he cannot use them.
Who knows when he will cause something bloody again.
The car fell into silence for a few seconds, and Li Xiao thought twice before speaking.
"How about this? If it's convenient for you, squad leader, I'd like to meet this three-star senior chef. Of course, it would be better if you can taste their products in advance, preferably in the back kitchen to observe them. .”
He looked at Li Xiao with a worried and troubled expression.
The squad leader chuckled, but immediately felt that it was inappropriate to laugh out loud at this time, so he quickly lowered his head and pretended to be an ostrich.
Now she understood why Li Xiao looked so worried. She looked up again with a smile on her face.
"Of course there is no problem. In fact, everyone in the store is already in place. The reason why I chose the weekend is just because my father said that the weather is better on that day and hopes that I will open on that day."
"After all, some older businessmen have similar thoughts, and he is a more traditional person..."
Then the two discussed some details and agreed that Li Xiao would come to the store to taste it at noon tomorrow.
After a night of silence, Li Xiao got up and found that her parents had left early.
After washing up and lying on the lounge chair in the garden, Xiaolan immediately flew up from the big tree in the corner.
A beautiful glide landed on Li Xiao's belly.
While Xiao Lan was arranging its feathers, which were becoming more and more shiny, she jumped towards Li Xiao's chest.
"Hey, hey, Li Xiao, will I live here from now on?"
Li Xiao didn't even raise his head, feeling the warm sunbathing in winter.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. How can a bird learn to be such a chicken?"
Hearing Li Xiao say what he had to say, Xiaolan was no longer polite. He pointed his wings at Nuoda's garden and said
"Li Xiao, it's like this. Look, this huge garden seems too empty if I'm the only one doing the birds."
He blinked his bird's eyes crazily as he spoke, as if he wanted to convey some message.
Li Xiao still didn't raise his eyes and let out a long oh,
"Do you want me to buy a cat and come back to play with you?"
When Xiaolan heard the word "buy", she almost jumped up with excitement, but after hearing Li Xiao's entire sentence, her whole heart suddenly turned bad.
"I mean to buy a bird, a female bird. You promised me tens of thousands of years ago that you would buy me a female bird when you have time!!! You big liar!!!"
Li Xiao finally raised his eyelids this time and took a look at the guy jumping alive on his chest.
"Is there a chance? I'm still very busy recently. Moreover, after the New Year, I will travel everywhere and live broadcast everywhere. I have two birds with me. I am already very worried about raising one for you. If I don't go here for a day, I won't go there.
Not going."
Xiaolan pecked Li Xiao's chest hard through her coat.
"Can you blame me for this? Brother, wherever you go is stinky. If I could find food by myself, I would have run away long ago."
Li Xiao was also a little helpless. He had been hanging out at his second uncle's and third uncle's house some time ago, and it was true that no matter where he went, there was a fishy smell.
It's really pitiful to think about it this way. Li Xiao is a little soft-hearted.
"Okay, after I finish my work, I will find you your other half."
........
Didi went out, but this time he didn’t start a live broadcast, and he didn’t bring Xiaolan with him. After all, he was going to enter the kitchen later. What would happen if he brought a bird there?
We arrived at the squad leader's new store on time. The name of the new store is also quite modern [Neighborhood] - returning to the original beauty.
The front door is very simple, a large white wall with golden fonts describing the name and the concept of this store.
Li Xiao frowned slightly. The new Cantonese cuisine and the return to the original beauty don't seem to go together?
But it’s too early to draw conclusions now, let’s eat and see first.
Since they were guests brought by the boss himself, the three-star senior chef named He Beibei came out to greet them.
A tall and thin girl with three-dimensional facial features and fair skin. Although she spoke in Cantonese, Li Xiao could clearly feel that the other person's Cantonese had a strange accent.
Without waiting for the monitor's introduction, the other party walked up to Li Xiao and generously extended his hand, introducing himself.
"Hello, I guess you are the anchor invited by the boss. Nice to meet you. My name is He Beibei. I am a three-star chef. I worked as an executive sous chef at Lei Garden for one year and worked at Red Belt Cooking in Citi.
I studied chef skills for three years at the academy.”
"My father, He Chunsheng, is a Level 5 chef in the Han Dynasty, and my mother, Cromwell Anasta, is a national five-star chef in the Citi Country. Please give me your advice."
The self-introduction to Beibei was quite long. After she finished introducing her information, Li Xiao understood why she felt that the other party was a bit strange. It turned out that she was not a pure Han Chinese.
Of course, Li Xiao does not have any discrimination. After all, he is bringing glory to the country. How can he be discriminatory?
However, Li Xia could vaguely feel that the other party seemed to be a little dissatisfied with him. Although the tone of his speech was very calm and his introduction to him was very ordinary, when the other party specifically explained his study experience and the situation of his parents at the end,
It obviously has a strong smell of gunpowder.
Li Xiao resisted the twitching of the corner of his mouth, and he felt helpless and secretly cursed in his heart, thinking that he had offended someone again.
After all, the squad leader originally wanted to invite him to come here for a promotional live broadcast, but he wanted to taste other people's products first. Doesn't this make it clear that he doesn't trust other people's products?
A chef should be most proud of his own product. Now if a layman wants to challenge the authority of a chef, Li Xiao will find it strange if the other party has no temper.
But Li Xiao had no choice but to bite the bullet. After all, this is a store opened by the monitor.
This store in the city center looked very simple in decoration, but the investment would definitely be huge. He didn't want his first investment as a monitor to go in vain.
This kind of thing is very important for the first time,
Going to school for the first time,
first time working,
First time starting a business,
first love,
first marriage,
first pregnancy,
.......
All first times always have some special feelings in people's hearts.
Therefore, Li Xiao still wants to make the monitor's first store opening go smoothly.
At least, if it goes well the first time, you will be more confident in the future. If it ends in failure the first time, you are likely to have a negative mentality towards starting a business.
After some pleasantries, several people went directly into the kitchen.
Li Xiao took over the printed menu. There was nothing wrong with the menu and it could even be said that the combination was quite reasonable.
After all, He Beibei has gone through professional studies. The Red Belt Culinary Institute in Citi is ranked last among the top ten culinary schools in the world.
The last word sounds bad, but when you see the prefix in front of it, it is among the top ten in the world.
Those who can successfully graduate there will definitely not be too bad.
Moreover, He Beibei's parents and father are both five-star senior chefs. With the influence of the family, his level should not be too bad.
At least there won't be any shortcomings that can be seen at a glance on the menu. The price of the menu is not very expensive at 558 yuan per person.
The reason why Li Xiao said it is not expensive here is that the ingredients on the menu are not cheap.
The price of 558 yuan is still acceptable to most people, depending on the quality of the product.
Li Xiao took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and directly scanned the QR code to pay. Fortunately, there was no payment prompt installed here.
Otherwise, there will be another commotion. After all, Li Xiao's behavior is really strange. Not only did he ask to come over to try the dishes, but he also secretly paid for it. This is a bit unreasonable no matter how you think about it.
In fact, this was Li Xiao's helpless move. After all, there was no way to trigger the system's clock-in mechanism without paying first.
Although he has [Ability: Food Tasting Proficiency] and can directly taste some small problems, the problem is that he really wants to know how many stars this [neighborhood] can get.
