Chapter 35 February 2nd, the Dragon Raises His Head
Jiangliao, Ji Chun, 1980, February 2, the dragon raised its head.
Today is an important day for Zhou Bingkun. His first restaurant, Jishantang, opened!
Although Zhou Bingkun did not publicize it everywhere, the news of Jishantang's opening was still known to the neighbors of Guangzipian.
Good neighbors like Qiao Chunyan's parents all came over to support her.
Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei also sent flower baskets, and even Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng asked Hao Dongmei to express their feelings on their behalf.
Most of the people who came were neighbors of Guangzipian. After all, it was the first independent restaurant. Everyone was watching, and some came to inquire about the news.
The chef in the back kitchen suddenly saw so many guests coming, and he was a little confused.
Zhou Bingkun had no choice but to go to the kitchen in person to calm the scene for the chefs.
Seeing that the chefs gradually began to calm down and become more orderly under Zhou Bingkun's comfort, Zhou Bingkun breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Sun Qianchao hurriedly ran into the kitchen. When he saw Zhou Bingkun, he said, "Bingkun, go out and take a look!"
Someone suddenly sent four special flower baskets?"
"Special? What's special?" Zhou Bingkun was a little confused.
"The units marked on the flower basket are actually Jiangliao Provincial Committee, Jiangliao Provincial Government, Jichun Municipal Committee and Jichun Municipal Government!"
"Ah? Real or fake?" I was surprised by Zhou Bingkun.
Zhou Bingkun quickly ran out to check the situation, and saw a familiar face, "Secretary Huang, why are you here?
Haha, the shop is really full of glory!"
"Boss Zhou, on behalf of the leadership, I am here to congratulate you on the opening of Jishantang!
The leader asked me to give you a message, let go and do it boldly!" Secretary Xiao Huang looked at Zhou Bingkun in front of him and said congratulations with a smile.
“Thank you so much to the leaders!
Leaders, please rest assured that I, Zhou Bingkun, will definitely abide by the law and pay taxes on time!"
"Boss Zhou, we have also delivered the flower basket! Let's go back to the unit first!"
"Secretary Huang, goodbye!"
The guests present, whether they were neighbors of Guangzi Pian or interested people who came to Jishan Hall to inquire about the news, were extremely shocked when they saw the four heavyweight flower baskets at the entrance of Jishan Hall and the secretary Xiao Huang who had just left.
"Bingkun, congratulations!
He actually opened such a big restaurant!
You are the number one person in our optical film production!" When Qiao Chunyan saw secretary Xiao Huang leaving, she calmed down the shock in her heart and came over with Cao Debao to congratulate Zhou Bingkun.
"Chunyan, Debao, thank you for coming today!
Go ahead and sit down!
I'll finish my work in a while and come over to find you!"
"Okay! Then Bingkun, you're busy!" Qiao Chunyan responded with a smile, and entered the "Jishantang" with Cao Debao, who looked complicated.
"Chunyan, I didn't expect Zhou Bingkun to make such a big deal!
The Jiangliao Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government and the Jichun Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government came to congratulate each other!"
"Yeah! I didn't expect that Zhou Bingkun would make such a big move!
I thought he just let Sun Qichao sneak around and buy and sell, and then asked Sun Qichao to take the blame for him!"
"By the way! Chunyan, our mother and Zhou Bingkun's mother have always had a good relationship!
How about letting our mother do the job of being Zhou Bingkun’s mother!”
"Debao, what do you want to do?"
"Chunyan, what else can I do?
Didn’t I just become the workshop director?
If I helped the soy sauce factory contact Zhou Bingkun Restaurant for purchasing soy sauce seasonings, wouldn’t I have made a meritorious deed?
Besides, if there is any banquet at the soy sauce factory in the future, if it is arranged at Jishantang, for my sake, Cao Debao, I can also pay for it!
This is all about saving face!”
"Okay! I'll tell our mother when we get back!" Qiao Chunyan said with a smile and nodded.
...
"Bingkun, congratulations!
I didn’t expect you to be able to open a restaurant!
It’s really incredible!
When I heard what my parents said, I was completely stunned!" Hao Dongmei looked at Zhou Bingkun in front of her, still unable to calm down the shock in her heart.
"Haha, sister-in-law! Thank you for your congratulations!"
"By the way! Bingkun, your brothers Bingyi and Zhou Rong were busy with their school classes, so they didn't come back in person to congratulate them, so I gave them the full authority to represent them!"
"Haha, as long as it comes to your mind! Sister-in-law, I just have something to discuss with you. Can you go home tonight?"
"Okay!" Hao Dongmei was a little confused but still agreed.
"Bingkun, I see you are very busy here! Do you want me to help you with something?"
"Let's do this! Sister-in-law, just temporarily keep an eye on the cashier at the bar. I'm worried that the cashier won't make any mistakes when he sees so many customers!"
"That's fine! I'll be right next to the cashier to help keep an eye on it, don't worry!" Hao Dongmei said with a smile and nodded.
Hearing his sister-in-law Hao Dongmei's suggestion, Zhou Bingkun couldn't help but think of the busy kitchen, and he would have to stay in the kitchen today and keep an eye on it.
Sun Qianchao also needed to greet customers in front, and now that Hao Dongmei was watching at the cashier, Zhou Bingkun was indeed very relieved.
Jishantang was really busy today, and it wasn't really closed until nine o'clock in the evening.
Seeing how hard everyone was working, Zhou Bingkun asked the back kitchen to cook a big pot of noodles and asked the employees to finish their meal before getting off work.
Looking at Zhou Bingkun in front of her, thinking of the turnover she had just calculated, Hao Dongmei wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by Zhou Bingkun's eyes.
After all the employees left, Zhou Bingkun said to Sun Qianchao, "Qianchao, you go back first!
My sister-in-law and I will lock the store door soon!
You worked hard today too!"
"Brother Bingkun, it's not hard at all! Then I'll go back first!"
After seeing Sun Qunchao leaving, Hao Dongmei could no longer restrain her excitement, "Bingkun, what do you think the daily turnover of Jishan Hall is today?"
"Uh? Two thousand?"
"No! 5018! That's amazing! I've never seen so much money in my life!"
Seeing his sister-in-law Hao Dongmei's excited expression, Zhou Bingkun couldn't help but want to laugh, "Haha, this means that my Jishantang is a success!"
"Bingkun, why didn't you let me talk just now?
Saying it in public can also boost everyone's morale!" Hao Dongmei thought about what happened just now and said with some confusion.
"Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about?
I am a self-employed household, not a collective factory!
Saying this kind of thing will get you into trouble!"
“Hehe, it’s indeed a bit too jealous!
I can’t help but feel jealous!”
"By the way, Bingkun, you just said you wanted to talk to me about something?"
"Yes! That's right, my brother-in-law Guangming's eye problem seemed to be a cornea problem, so I helped him contact a hospital on Hong Kong Island!
Because sister-in-law, you are studying medicine, can you accompany Guangming to Hong Kong Island for eye treatment during the summer vacation?
It just so happens that you can also intern at Hong Kong Island Hospital for a period of time!
All the expenses for the round trip will be paid by me!”
"Sister-in-law, what do you think?"
"Eh? Will the hospital on Hong Kong Island agree to my internship?"
"No problem! Aren't my two articles sold to the "Oriental Daily News" on Hong Kong Island?
Then I met their editor-in-chief!
In their eyes, these are all small things!" Zhou Bingkun explained with a smile.
"I want to discuss it with your brother Bingyi!" Hao Dongmei was really moved.
"Of course, you can ask my brother if he would like to take advantage of the summer vacation to go over and inspect our window city!"
"If you know that we have reformed and opened up, you definitely need to go out and take a look!"
