A penny stumps the heroic man. The company's business and contacts are all in Li Kui's hands. He can only passively wait for business to come to him. But in this way, there is no way to cover his living expenses.
I had to go back to my old job and work part-time.
Immediately, he said bluntly: "As for the fish soup noodles, it's a little complicated here.
"The location of this street has always been good. There are residential buildings in the surrounding communities. There is a commercial street in front and office buildings not far behind. There are many people coming here to eat. The pressure of competition has always been high."
Xu Zhao lowered his voice: "Since Kaixin's mother passed away, there has been one less bright-hearted person in the store. Although the neighbors around us will come to have dinner with them, as time goes by, we still can't keep people in."
Hearing this, Li Kui lowered his eyebrows and silently lit a cigarette.
"Let me think about it, this is not the way to go."
Xu Zhao raised his head and drank the beer, and said with a proud smile: "At least the three cobblers are like Zhuge Liang. After all, we are cooking, so we must have a signature dish that is good, so..."
“Happy likes to eat fish soup noodles.”
A honest voice suddenly broke in.
Hao Ping'an was wearing a black sportswear and a cartoon apron wrapped around his waist. He walked up to the two of them, looking like a child asking for praise, and patted Winnie the Pooh on his waist.
"I will do it!"
"No, Ping An's craftsmanship is really good!"
Xu Zhao chuckled and said: "Then I went to get the supply of fish. I worked a lot of part-time jobs in Binhai City before, but I didn't make much money, but I knew a lot of people, so we started talking."
"Um!"
Li Kui pursed his lips and nodded, "Xu Zhao, let's go."
"Come!"
The glasses clinked, and the malt hops splashed.
"Li Kui." Hao Ping'an sat on the stool and said in a sincere and simple voice: "I miss you."
"I miss you too."
Li Kui raised a smile and patted Ping An's thigh. "Look back, let's have a meal together."
"Okay, okay."
Hao Pingan applauded.
Xu Zhao rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Kui, if you treat me to a treat, I won't be polite to you!"
"I'm treating you. If you have the ability, just lie down and go out."
Li Kui waved his hand boldly.
Bursts of laughter rang out outside the shop, attracting the attention of many passers-by.
"By the way, Brother Kui, I have to tell you something." Xu Zhao said quickly as if he remembered something.
"Well...if we want to eat, we should wait until the Qingming Festival is over."
Hao Kaixin hugged Ping An's neck from behind.
Her ears were pointed and she listened to the conversation of several people word by word.
"Ah, today is April 4th, and tomorrow is Qingming Festival." Li Kui slapped his forehead.
"Yes, this is what I want to tell you."
Xu Zhao smiled slightly: "I also have to go back to Long'ao Village to offer incense to the old man."
"OK, no problem."
Li Kui raised his glass and drank, some complicated thoughts settled in his eyes.
at this time.
He seemed to be feeling something, and through the gap between Ping An and Kaixin, he noticed a table of guests behind them.
One is fat and the other is thin, both are around thirty years old.
"Brother Zhou, you see there are fewer guests now, can you come over?"
"Well, I think it works!"
"Walk!"
The two walked straight over.
"Hello, may I excuse you." Brother Zhou, who had a chubby belly, came closer and said with a kind smile: "I am the director of Binhai City TV station's food program, Zhou Ping, and this is my assistant."
The thin assistant said hello: "Hello."
Seeing Li Kui and others frowning, Zhou Ping took out his business card and work permit from his chest pocket and handed them to Hao Kaixin, obviously knowing something about Ping An's situation.
"Uncle Kui."
Hao Kaixin looked at it twice and handed it back to Li Kui.
This action made Zhou Ping couldn't help but take a second look at this man with a heroic face. He secretly thought that he had a strong and capable temperament, but he also began to wonder who this strange man was.
He had been observing Ping An's shop for almost a week. He thought that Xu Zhao, who came here often, would be the one in charge. But now, it seems that this strange man called Uncle Kui is the one who makes the decision!
The other end.
Li Kui looked at his work permit and looked up at Zhou Ping.
Gulu...
It's like a tiger opening its eyes.
In a daze, as if it was just an illusion, Zhou Ping swallowed hard and smiled awkwardly: "I am really the director of the show. You can search for "Taste of the Coast" online and check it out. We really are not.
fraud!"
“Taste of the seaside!”
Suddenly, Xu Zhao said excitedly: "You really produced this show?!"
Hearing that Xu Zhao was still a fan of the show, Zhou Ping immediately smiled: "If it's true, our team is now preparing to record the material for the second season."
"Oh my God, I really like the taste of Binhai. I have to accompany my meal with your show every day, but it's time for dinner!"
"Thank you, thank you for your support."
The two of them chatted animatedly back and forth.
At this time, Li Kui said: "Director Zhou, I hear you want to use Ping'an Shop as the material."
"Yes, that's right."
Zhou Ping glanced at the expressions of Ping An and others and confirmed that Li Kui was the one who made the final decision. He immediately said: "We have the foundation of the first season of "Taste of the Coast" and now have a large number of fans.
"If we can cooperate, Ping An Store will have a higher reputation by then."
Li Kui looked directly at him and only asked:
"Why?"
"Because of Hao Ping'an's special situation..."
As soon as Zhou Ping finished speaking, he saw Li Kui frowning and his voice a little deep: "You want to use Ping An's own reasons to stimulate the ratings of the program?"
As soon as these words came out, Kaixin and Xu Zhao's eyes changed instantly.
Unkindness and anger.
"No, no, no." Zhou Ping immediately became anxious and quickly explained: "Don't misunderstand me. I definitely didn't mean this. Please listen to my explanation first."
Li Kui glanced at him and said, "Say."
"Is such that."
Zhou Ping took a deep breath and said methodically:
"The first season of our show mainly showcased various delicacies in Binhai, and it received widespread praise. However, I am not satisfied with this, so I want to go more in-depth in the second season.
"Food and people, the story that goes deep into them."
The voice became more sincere and sincere.
"There are hardships and tears in ordinary life, but there is also warmth and comfort. The gathering of every small but impossible-to-ignore person and thing gives every city its unique light!"
After saying that, Zhou Ping looked at Li Kui seriously: "I can understand you, but we definitely have no intention of using Ping An for hype. We have been observing Ping An's store for almost a week, and we want to help Hao Ping An."
"Yeah, we're not sick."
The thin assistant added: "And the fish soup noodles made by Hao Ping'an are really amazing!"
There was a moment of silence.
"Thank you in advance for your kindness."
Li Kui's eyebrows were soft and he said softly: "But we need to discuss this matter."
"Okay, then let's go to the curb over there and wait."
