To be honest, Hong Yanwu himself really didn't take this new job seriously. But in the eyes of others, it was different.
Because public values are like this these days. No matter how well you do, you might as well serve the public with dignity. Even if your family is worth a lot of money, you still have to have an iron rice bowl to feel secure.
So since the news that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were going to "Polar Bear" was revealed, not to mention the Hong family, young and old, all looked happy, and the neighbors have congratulated them one after another. Even Chen Liquan himself has been grinning from ear to ear for a few days.
Hong Yanwu was really surprised about this, so he had to ask him in private.
"Quanzi, I understand what my family is thinking. They just want us to live a down-to-earth life. Seeing that we have formal jobs now, they feel relieved. As for what the neighbors are thinking, I also understand. They all feel that
I hope I can go to a state-owned unit with good benefits and I won’t have to worry about it for the rest of my life. So I’m happy for us. But I don’t understand what you think. The salary you earn is not enough for you to smoke and drink. Look, you are happy.
Come on, why are you so beautiful? Do you really want this job so much?"
Unexpectedly, Chen Liquan's answer was quite simple.
"Hey, it's convenient to go there not only to drink soda, but also to eat popsicles. We suffered a lot in the kitchen in the past summer. Will it be more comfortable in the future? Besides, I love the smell of oranges, and I can certainly smell it there every day.
.”
Hey, Hong Yanwu really can't find fault with this answer. After all, Quanzi is only twenty. If he wasn't so "gao Le Gao", he wouldn't be at this age. It would be weird to be like him.
As for the colleagues at "Tianxingju", knowing this news, from top to bottom they were reluctant to let Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan leave.
Manager Sha found the joy of being a leader through Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan. As for the senior chefs in the kitchen, I like them as kind and capable. As for the young people, they get even more benefits. Not to mention the movie tickets and cigarettes.
I never stopped drinking tea. Even chatting with Hong Yanwu, I gained a lot of knowledge.
But if you don’t give up and don’t give up, no matter what, you can’t stop someone’s future. Who doesn’t know that a formal job in “Polar Bear” is much better than here?
So the parting was about to begin, and it became apparent how well-connected Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were.
The old masters told them one by one to work hard in the future and to come back and check on them when nothing happened. As for the young people, we all pooled some money together to treat Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to drink practice wine.
But the one who treats them best is Master Si.
Knowing that they would have to work in the kitchen from now on, Master Si went into the manager's office to discuss with Manager Sha, and then he wrote a damage report for a copper basin in the store and sold it as scrap. Then after looking for it for a day, he bought it
Toy, given to Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.
What does it mean? It's not just as simple as leaving something as a souvenir for the two of them. The key is that this thing is still a treasure.
I bet this copper basin was used to prepare fried liver when "Tianxingju" opened its business. There are six in total in the store.
It is true that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan learned the technique of preparing fried liver from their master. However, no matter how you eat the fried liver they make at home, it is not the same as what is sold in the store. The reason for this is not for other reasons.
, it just happened to be this copper basin.
But they themselves had never understood this matter, and it was only at this moment that Master Si gave them a clear explanation.
"When you make fried liver at home, it's not a matter of skill, it's just that you're not good at it. The items that were made in the 20th year of Guangxu's reign are more than a hundred years old. Doesn't that mean things become refined over time? The fried liver made with them all has
What about spirituality? Can it be the same?"
"Lao Sha and I give you things for no other reason. How can a cook have a new skill? So that you won't be crowded out when you go to a new place. As long as you have it, no matter where you make fried liver from now on, it will be as long as
If there is no problem with the materials, then it will have the same flavor as our 'Tianxingju'."
"Take it with you. I have worked hard here for so long. I can't let you work hard in vain. Besides, there are not many young people willing to learn this. I won't waste it on you..."
Hey, just because of Master Si's feelings, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan are willing to kowtow to him.
What's more, others don't know the true value of this thing, and Hong Yanwu certainly knows it best.
In his memory, the price of snacks in Beijing will be soaring in the future. A small bowl of fried liver, which is almost entirely made of starch, can be sold for nine yuan a bowl. And there are only a handful of shops that can make it well. A limited number of them specialize in fried liver.
All the time-honored liver brands have made a fortune.
Even if the level of what they do is incomparable to today's, there is no other substitute. People in the old capital will feel uncomfortable if they don't eat this for a while. So there is nothing to do, just blame them and you have to eat.
Not to mention, the Vice President of the United States came to Beijing and easily made a fake time-honored liver-fried restaurant popular. Another restaurant that was not well managed and was a competitor that was quick to fuck and lay down later also came back to life due to celebrity influence.
Even if it doesn't taste like shit, with traditional snacks and two tiger skins promoted by celebrities, you can naturally spend money openly, right?
Don’t think that the people in the capital are not fooled, the outsiders are fooled by this trick. The old ones are knowledgeable, while the young ones blindly follow the fashion. If the Republic does not take advantage of other things, there are so many people, and everyone is confused.
All in all, fried liver in the future may seem like a small business, but in fact it is a long-running, big business.
If Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan really want to do this, they can just open a liver-fried shop. They can buy a house and land and earn tens of millions of dollars. Now with this copper basin, it will be even more powerful.
Of course, they will never spend all their money in this lifetime. There is no need to rely on this to make small money. But don't forget, Hong Yanwu still wants to re-open the Hong family's old shop as much as possible.
Among them, Yanmeilou is a restaurant. It’s not a bad thing to add such an authentic Beijing snack, right?
To take a step back, this copper basin itself is a cultural relic! Right?
Hey, don't say anything. Anyway, in the end, Hong Yanwu happily thanked the two leaders. Then in order to repay everyone's kindness.
On the last day of October, he and Chen Liquan made a special trip to hold a banquet at the "Bianyi Fang" not far from "Tianxingju" and invited everyone to have a dinner.
And to everyone's surprise that day, the banquet was served with two tables of delicious food, and Hong Yanwu and the others drank so much wine that they brought their own Maotai. In addition, one pair of Red Peony cigarettes was provided for each person.
As a result, everyone's interest became more and more high. It was the first time for many people to serve foreign food, so they drank too much. After the banquet was over, most of the people were drunk.
And Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan did stand up for the last shift. Not only did they send Manager Sha and Master Si home separately, they also left two bottles of Maotai liquor in each of their homes. It was a token of their appreciation.
As for thinking about it afterwards, getting two copper basins was a bit detrimental to the public and private interests. But then again, shouldn't Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan be allowed to push out the treasures they got?
Compared with those "reform stars" who wantonly embezzled the country's public property, they are nothing.
What Master Si said is right. If it falls into their hands, at least it won't be ruined.
To put it another way, it is said that a sword is given to a hero, and pink powder is given to a beautiful woman. This magic weapon must belong to these two brothers.
