'The wind, accompanied by the song of dawn, rings the bell of destiny, and is the lamp that never goes out in the night. The star is twinkling, breaking away from the loneliness of darkness...'
The next day, it was a rare morning without fog. Chen Mo and the others rented a yacht early. Chen Mo drove the yacht out to sea and played his favorite songs.
The luxury yachts that can be rented usually cost less than 2,000 US dollars for a 10-hour rental. They are not very luxurious yachts.
In the San Francisco Bay in winter, the night temperature may be below freezing, and the morning temperature may be below 10 degrees. The cold sea breeze from the Pacific is really unromantic.
Going out to San Francisco Bay, Chen Mo saw Bonny Point Tower and suddenly thought of Ellie.
Ellie went to the east coast city. Before, they often talked on the phone, but then gradually, the phone calls became less frequent. Later, Chen Mo changed his number and never called again...
'The wind can't take away loneliness, nor can it take away mistakes, only persistence is left...'
Chen Mo had a peaceful smile on his face, and felt a little emotional in his heart. Thinking of Ellie, he naturally thought of Ellie jumping into the sea stubbornly holding the fishing rod...
He rarely suddenly thinks of someone, but occasionally he thinks of Ellie, the short-haired, thin and stubborn girl... the absurd self-confessed romantic at the Napa Valley Hot Spring Hotel. In Mendocino County, that night of heavy rain...
Why did he think of that 'underage' girl again? Chen Mo patted his head.
"What are you doing?" Bai Xiaoou came in holding his ginseng and wolfberry cup, just in time to see Chen Mo hitting his head.
"My brain is flooded."
Bai Xiaoou smiled and sat next to Chen Mo: "What do you think of my sister?"
"As I said, Uncle Chen is aloof and really won't date me." Chen Mo looked back and whispered, "I'm not interested. I don't want to fall in love."
"Are you just going to hang out like this?"
"I can cook, wash clothes, do housework, and make money... I can do everything by myself. Tell me, why are you looking for a girlfriend? Can you help me spend money?"
Bai Xiaoou raised his middle finger.
The yacht was driven out of the sea. The wind outside was blowing very cold, and no one was in the mood for fishing.
Head all the way north, drive for more than two hours to Clam Bay, and park the yacht at the pier of the scenic park.
Chen Mo took a group of people to the oyster restaurant he and Ellie had visited before, and asked for a charcoal grill to eat open-air charcoal grilled seafood...
Oysters, scallops, and a spoonful of minced garlic are delicious to Chen Mo.
Zhou Hui and his father prefer to eat the original flavor and are not used to garlic...
Chen Mo picked up the grilled California lobster, dipped it in some mustard and ate it. He looked at Bai Xiaoou and said, "Do you think it is possible to bring Tangxia Yipin back to China for development?"
"It's almost like having a lump on your head."
Chen Mo was helpless, he was an angry young man at heart, and the Chinese culture came first...
Tangxia Yipin has achieved success in the United States in a short period of time. If it can also achieve success in China, it will be considered great.
The three chain brands of Tangxia Yipin, Tangxia Yipin's high-end Chinese restaurant, except for a few signature soup dishes, the menu is divided into Chinese and Western styles. The old Shufeng hotpot restaurant, Jiugongge's hotpot has no soul at all... The last Chinese fast food
Restaurant, standard Western-style Chinese restaurant.
"Tangxia Yipin Restaurant can be brought back to China to try. Hot pot restaurants and fast food restaurants basically have nothing to do..." Bai Xiaoou shook his head: "Why do you ask this suddenly."
"Bright Cow has changed its name to Black and Blue Cow, but it doesn't look domineering enough."
"If you want to be domineering, just name it 'Qingniu'. The prehistoric Qingniu is also good..."
Chen Chen smiled with his head down.
black and cyan cattle…
"Brother, I think Bright cow sounds better. It is a breed of cattle bred by Master Bright, and it should be named after him. Black and green cow, the Chinese name is quite good..."
Chen Mo had a black line on his face.
Yesterday, Bright gave a thumbs up when he named the breed of cattle ‘black and green cattle’. He said in Chinese at the time, black and green is not bad, and can be expressed in English...
"Do you want to go back to China?" Bai Xiaoou looked at Chen Mo with a smile.
Chen Mo shook his head: "I'm worried that Bright cattle will not adapt to the American market."
"I raise Wagyu beef. Anyway, I have Wagyu blood..."
Chen Mo rolled his eyes.
Bright cattle are a new breed of cattle, the only one in the world. Now that they have been brought back, they must find ways to develop and grow, otherwise they will suffer losses.
Wagyu beef needs to be raised, and Bright beef is the main product.
I had previously researched with the chef of Tang Xia Yipin and found that the rich beef flavor of Bright Beef is more suitable for traditional Chinese food.
The market for authentic Chinese food in the United States is really not big. Even Tangxia Yipin Restaurant has two menus, Chinese and Western, except for the flagship store... The flagship store is a large restaurant, all of which are authentic Chinese food, mostly light dishes.
, traditional desserts, as well as various soup dumplings, lion heads and other dishes that suit the tastes of most people in the world. These dishes all have one characteristic, they are expensive. There are few dishes with spicy and spicy flavors...
It's too early to think about this now.
Bai Xiaoou smiled, suddenly remembering the phone call, and his face turned ugly after picking up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Xiaoou took a deep breath: "Fuck, what the hell... the dog is beeping. I have to go back to San Francisco now."
"What's wrong?"
"What the hell..." Bai Xiaoou cursed directly: "Tell me on the way back."
When everyone was almost done eating, Bai Xiaoou got up and went to pay the bill. On the way back to the yacht, he said: "Yesterday morning, a group of vegetarians came to a chicken shop in Chinatown to protest against the owner's killing of chickens. I just received a call from that group of vegetarians.
Activists were parading through the streets today, handing out leaflets from restaurant to restaurant... When they arrived at Tangxia Yipin Restaurant, they had a conflict with the employees in the restaurant. One protester was seriously injured, and some people in the restaurant were also injured."
Chen Mo drove the yacht out of the bay, took out his mobile phone and searched for yesterday's vegetarian protest...
Chinese people like fresh food, and live chicken butchery shops are only found in Chinatown. A group of vegetarians surrounded the chicken shop, holding white flowers. The men and women in front cried when they looked at the chicken shop... and then sang something sad in unison.
The song even made some people faint from crying.
Ward Fake?
What a beeping dog!
I wonder if they were so sad when their parents died.
This morning, the group of vegetarians walked along Columbus Avenue and handed out flyers from restaurant to restaurant to promote their organization and protest against eating meat... There were also several performance artists in the march.
It seems...that there was a conflict with more than just one of their restaurants.
Vegetarians, pure carnivores, and some members of the Animal Welfare Association feel that many people are insane.
A vegetarian supermarket protested naked against people eating turkey...Members of the Animal Welfare Association protested against the slaughter of pigs on farms and blocked pig transport vehicles. They shed tears after being unable to stop them...
Some people even went to the farm to protest against the farmer's mistreatment of livestock, but they didn't know that the farm had formal licensing procedures and the breeding process was in full compliance with laws and regulations.
"How are you going to deal with it?" After Chen Mo read the news, he looked at Bai Xiaoou and asked, "Turn a big problem into a small one?"
Bai Xiaoou sneered: "How can there be so many saints in the world? Watching this video, those women cried worse than their dead parents. It was obviously a professional performance. The bustling crowds are all for profit and gain."
"Ready to...get them?"
Bai Xiaoou shrugged: "Why have I never seen anyone protesting at McDonald's or KFC? It's not that they can't afford to offend... They didn't go to the high-end restaurants on Columbus Avenue. When they passed by the Tangxia Yipin flagship store, these people didn't come in either...
...I just went into an ordinary Tangxia Yipin store. These people have a clear purpose, they are looking for soft persimmons, they want to cause a sensation without causing trouble to themselves. Some people have to remember the Tangxia Yipin brand, otherwise
