This old Huang is really a descendant of the imperial chef. His ancestral home is Bashu. He was born in Sijiu City and lives outside Dongzhimen.
I used to work as a cook in a state-owned canteen, and in the past few years of retirement I have been spending my time at home.
Ten years ago, when life was unsatisfactory, I always took care of him secretly, otherwise the family would not be able to survive.
Last month, Cheng Jianwen also wanted to find this famous chef, but he was not allowed to meet him at all.
Today I went to see Lao Guantuan, and Lao Huang not only agreed, but also stayed at Lao Guantuan for lunch and dinner.
After dark, I specifically followed Lao Guanguan to the courtyard house.
Cheng Guanli hurriedly invited the two of them into the room.
Just as he was about to praise Lao Jun for his face, Lao Huang spoke first.
"Master Guan told me about your restaurant. Master Guan is my elder and he is kind to me. I can go to work tomorrow. I am not short of money. You don't have to rush to pay your salary. Your restaurant will be near Dongzhimen in half a year."
It’s second to none, and if you pay me a salary, if I can’t reach that level, it means that my skills are inferior to others, so I will throw the spoon and leave immediately, and my half-year work will be in vain!”
Cheng Guanli gave a thumbs up.
"Uncle Huang, I admire you for being so generous. Don't worry, I will record your salary for you from the first day you go to work. I will pay you when you ask for it!"
"It's easy to say, I looked at that restaurant, and apart from the name, there's nothing else that doesn't suit my taste. I'm a heir to authentic Beijing-style Sichuan cuisine, and the name of your restaurant has nothing to do with Sichuan cuisine. Forget it, since it's been renovated, hurry up
Let’s open for business.”
Cheng Guanli smiled and said: "Uncle Huang, I have already changed the name, but I haven't finished it yet. The name you see was given by Chen Jinsheng, and I named it Shu Xiangxuan."
"Okay! I like this name, have you purchased it yet?" Lao Huang opened his eyes wide for the first time after entering the house for so long.
Cheng Guanli smiled and said, "Not yet."
"Then what are you waiting for? We have to purchase the goods early tomorrow morning. You must have oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and other condiments. Where is your general manager? Ask her to wait for me at Dongzhimen tomorrow morning!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yuzhen walked in with Xiao Xing in her arms.
"No problem, I'll be at Dongzhimen at five o'clock!"
"Okay, let's just say, bring at least five hundred yuan. A restaurant is not a restaurant."
Lao Huang said and stood up to leave.
Cheng Guanli asked hurriedly: "Uncle Huang, are you the only one in charge of the kitchen?"
Lao Huang glanced at Cheng Guanli and said calmly: "I will take care of five disciples who have not left school. Don't worry, I won't ask you for salary."
"No, you misunderstood. I'm afraid you won't be able to do it alone. Since you have your disciple and grandson following me, I'm relieved. As long as your disciple goes into the kitchen and touches the knife handle, he will lose a penny of his salary! Let's compare
If you come to a nearby restaurant, your salary is 20% higher than that of their chef."
Lao Huang nodded, with an appreciative smile on his face, "No wonder I can subdue the human spirit Master Guan. He is a man who knows how to do things. Boy, we will spend a lot of time together in the future. I am a bit stubborn and a bit stubborn."
I'm proud, but I'm not stubborn or arrogant about my craftsmanship. Just take your time and look back."
After saying that, he turned around and went out, going straight home.
Cheng Guanli and Xu Yuzhen hurriedly sent them out.
Lao Guan was drinking tea leisurely in the room and said calmly: "Don't give it away. As long as he is happy, he won't care about these nonsense. If you have any opinions about him in the future, say it directly to his face. Don't hide it.
, he just likes to be straightforward.”
Cheng Guanli and Xu Yuzhen then returned to the house and discussed with Lao Guantuan when to open the business.
The final decision can be made as early as possible. In addition to purchasing goods tomorrow, we also need to notify the waiters, relatives and friends to prepare for the opening ceremony.
The opening day is scheduled for this Sunday.
The preparations for the opening were left to Lao Guan Guan and Xu Yuzhen. In addition to making the final decision at the critical moment, Cheng Guanli also became the hands-off shopkeeper.
Opening a restaurant did not affect his work at CCTV at all.
…………
Early the next morning.
Cheng Guanli came to Taili.
First, he told Mr. Huang that his restaurant would be opening on Sunday, and specially invited the couple to come over.
Teacher Huang smiled and said: "I must go. It's not the months before last year. I have time. By the way, watch the ceremony. Does it conflict between opening a restaurant and working and taking the college entrance examination?"
"There is no conflict. My two neighbors manage everything in the restaurant. I am just a hands-off shopkeeper. I think I have sufficient financial resources."
"Okay, your plan is beautiful. There are not many people at your age who have such high planning ability. Work hard, I'm optimistic about you!"
"Hey, I'm in trouble now, huh? Teacher, how's the Spring Festival Gala going?"
"The director has said that we can start planning now. Once the planning is done, we can start making preparations. When we are ready, we can wait for the performance to begin."
"Can it be broadcast live this time?"
"Well... Judging from the current situation, it's hard to say, but it is estimated that the superior leaders will most likely come to watch the scene. Let's do our job well. What we do depends on people, and what we do depends on God."
"I see."
"Now that you have become the boss of the restaurant, put your energy into your work. You can start writing the sketch script."
"Well, I'll come up with ideas when I get back today."
Cheng Guanli still planned to follow Chen Xiaoer and Lao Mao's choice of script.
After all, they have performance experience and the ability to adapt to changes on stage. The most important thing is that they have already worked out the best performance condition and can complement each other.
Coupled with the effect of the last noodles-eating script, he decided to continue the character background setting and recreate the classic "Making a Movie".
It was the one who made Chen Xiaoer wear unlined clothes in the winter, wiping his sweat and saying, 'Fellow folks, I, Wang Laowu, have lived for most of my life...'
In two days, Cheng Guanli handed over the carefully revised script to Teacher Huang.
Teacher Huang was very satisfied after seeing it.
He smiled and said: "Guan Li, your speed is too fast. Okay, let's use this script, or Chen Xiaoer and Lao Mao?"
"Well, they are relatively familiar with this setting."
"Okay, let me put the script here first. After I have planned the program, I will submit it together and wait for approval from my superiors."
"Do you need approval from your superiors?"
"Yes, so I said that there is a high probability that the superior leaders will come to watch the 1982 party. Maybe there will be unimaginable leaders coming. We have to work hard."
"Well, teacher, just make arrangements, I'll be on call at any time."
"You, just don't delay the college entrance examination. Now that you have the financial source of the restaurant, you don't have to focus on the venue work in the future. Just follow me as a behind-the-scenes assistant and prepare for the annual party. That won't delay your future.
study."
"No problem, it's easy to say. My working hours are indeed much more flexible than those of regular workers."
After the script is handed over to Teacher Huang, Cheng Guanli's work is completed and he just has to wait for his superiors to review it.
Soon the day came for the opening of his restaurant, Shu Xiangxuan.
Not only did Teacher Huang come with his wife, but also some people who were close to Cheng Guanli in the station also came.
Except for the Cheng family in the backyard, almost every family in the courtyard came to cheer. Even Liu Tongzhou came to the restaurant with his wife, daughter-in-law and son-in-law.
In addition, there were also chefs who came to support Chef Lao Huang, as well as people from nearby alleys.
I have to say that Lao Guanjun’s reputation is really great. On the first day the restaurant opened, it was fully booked, which really corresponded to the plaque on the first floor that said it was full of guests.
Except for the two very close tables who were invited, all other diners who came to the restaurant today received a 20% discount.
Cheng Guanli stood at the door, greeting guests and friends, and waiting for Su Ying and her family.
I was wondering why Su Ying hadn't come yet since she had promised to be the first one.
In the blink of an eye, she saw Su Ying holding two volumes of calligraphy and painting in her hands and bringing her parents to the door of the restaurant.
Cheng Guanli hurriedly greeted him.
Su Ying smiled slightly, "Do you like this gift? Yesterday, I asked Mr. Guan to go with me to redeem the calligraphy and paintings. You told me that it was enough without borrowing money. So you are treating me as an outsider?" This chapter has been completed!
