Meng Xingyuan felt that he really couldn’t follow Shopkeeper Zhou’s thinking.
He was scolded by Zhou Shi, and he knew he was in the wrong, but he refused to admit defeat, so he moved out of Yueqing Building to hold a birthday banquet for the prefect. On the one hand, he wanted to show off the reputation of Yueqing Building, and on the other hand
He also used the pretext of "asking" Zhou Shilai for help to continue to disparage him.
Who knew that Zhou Shi would agree so happily!
On this side, Zhou Shi pulled Xue An and Agui up and said, "Since Shopkeeper Meng is showing off his face, how can we refuse! What do you think is appropriate for us to do?"
"Uh, this..."
"Shopkeeper Meng, as you said, this is the birthday of the prefect. If Yue Qinglou can't cope with it, the brand of our Jiangdu Restaurant will be destroyed!" Zhou Shi said, grabbing Agui and Xue An, and said
, "Although there are not many of us, we can help to some extent, and we can't let ourselves slip in front of the prefect's guests!"
Meng Xingyuan originally wanted to switch from defense to offense, but this time it seems that he was defeated again...
There's nothing wrong with that. I was the one who said there was a shortage of manpower, and I was the one who said the birthday banquet was important. This situation is irreversible.
"Well, let me thank you..."
"I should, I should. I'll see you tomorrow afternoon!"
Zhou Shi raised his hand and led Agui and Xue An out of the front hall and through the luxurious courtyard.
"Shopkeeper, are you crazy?" Agui finally couldn't hold himself back and said, "You really want to help? This is not asking us, this is harming us!"
Zhou Shi smiled faintly and said: "Aren't you usually indifferent to favors and humiliations? Why do you react so much?"
Agui was stunned.
As a boy who started out as a handyman, he has had several employers along the way, and has suffered countless looks from his eyes, and has developed a heart that is indifferent. If this family treats me well, I will work hard; then
If one restaurant treats me poorly, I will find another one. I will have a clear conscience about any restaurant I have ever stayed in, but that’s all.
It can be said that there is no such thing as a sense of belonging in his heart.
Even though shopkeeper Zhou Da, who discovered his talent and invited him to Fengde Building to train him as a boss, Agui only regarded him as a capable shopkeeper. Therefore, when he was kicked out of Fengde Building by the young master's family, even if he even
Zhao Qinfeng, who is usually obedient, expressed his opposition, and Agui did not express any opinions.
How could such a smooth and considerate Agui be so resistant to being overpowered by Yue Qinglou?
Even though Meng Xingyuan came to the door again and again to find trouble, Zhou Shi did not point the finger at Agui, but instead tried his best to defend him. When Agui was captured by the Qinglong Gang, it was Zhou Shi who risked his life to rescue him. In addition, Shopkeeper Zhou has been consistent for several years.
Trust may be the reason why Agui changed.
If it were him before, he would definitely not feel so uncomfortable when Meng Xingyuan disparaged Zhou Shi.
"Smoothness is a skill, especially for big guys. But what I hired was not a big guy named Agui, but an Agui who is qualified to be a big guy." Zhou Shi said as he walked, "Feng De
The building cannot live without you."
"Yes..." For the first time in his life, Agui felt truly accepted and tolerated.
At this time, Xue An, who had been following silently, spoke:
"Shopkeeper, so why should we help Yue Qinglou?"
Zhou Shi pointed to Yueqing Tower, which was getting farther and farther behind him, and said, "The prefect is celebrating his birthday. Do you know about this?"
The two shook their heads.
"This shows that the prefect found Yue Qing Restaurant directly and did not consider other restaurants at all. Not only him, but those wealthy businessmen and wealthy families who hold banquets should first think of Yue Qing Restaurant, right? Why?"<
/p>
Agui and Xue An looked at each other, waiting for the shopkeeper to solve the mystery.
"Don't look at me, you guys also say something."
"Because the food is delicious." Xue An said.
"If it's really delicious, why would you find so many faults?"
"Because the decoration is luxurious, it can support the scene and earn face." Agui said.
"Well, this is one of the reasons, and it is also the biggest difference between Yueqing Building and Fengde Building." Zhou Shi nodded, "But if you really want to show off, why do you have to go to a restaurant? Go to the guild hall,
Invite seven or eight good chefs and serve them a table with delicacies from all over the world, so you don't have to stay in a restaurant to look like you?"
Jiangdu was only a hundred years old, and it is located at the intersection of three rivers and at the junction of the north and the south. It has not yet formed its own unique food system. The four famous restaurants are not as rich and elegant as the famous restaurants in the capital. In Zhou Shi's opinion, they are not
A spacious place.
"Therefore, there must be reasons why Yueqing Building has become the first choice for hosting large banquets that we have not yet discovered. This is its uniqueness as one of the four famous buildings." Zhou Shi concluded, "It is also one of the shortcomings of our Fengde Building.
Place."
"This..." Agui said hesitantly, "Our Fengde Building specializes in speculation, and it has never been a place for banquets..."
"That's why we asked for changes, to broaden our business scope and attract new customers. We used to be complacent and relied on a few stir-fry dishes brought from the capital to become famous. What's the result? As long as the store has something good
When something happened, the guests immediately abandoned their seats and the creditors came to the door."
What he was talking about was the chaos in Fengde Building after Shopkeeper Zhou was kicked out.
"When I wanted to sell food at the pier, Master Chen and Lao Zhao both opposed it, but what happened? It was the pier, a market we had never thought of before, that helped us tide over the difficulties. But this is not enough. We need to make Fengde Building a real place.
To become bigger and stronger, we can’t do it without more ideas.”
Zhou Shi walked a little slower, letting Xue An keep up with him.
"Tomorrow night, I will be at the counter, Agui will be at the table, and Xue An will be in the kitchen. They all have their eyes wide open to see what Yue Qinglou's ability is to attract those rich owners into his store.
”
Agui and Xue An responded and arrived at Fengde Building in a blink of an eye.
"Shopkeeper!" Zhao Qinfeng came up to him and said hurriedly, "Where were you during dinner? The store can't even turn around!"
"Go to the banquet."
"Going to a banquet? Whose banquet?"
"Tonight it's Meng Qingyuan, and tomorrow night it's the prefect of Jiangdu."
"More tomorrow night..." Zhao Qinfeng took a moment to turn around, "Wait, who? Jiangdu Prefect? You..."
Zhou Shi patted him on the shoulder and said, "So, I will ask you to host the store tomorrow night."
"Shopkeeper, this..."
"Stop this and this, bring me the account book."
Zhou Shi checked the ledger and watched the guys clean up the front hall
