Trains are not pushed, Mount Tai is not piled, the Yellow River is not peed, and cowhide is not blown.
Not to mention that Li Fu put on new clothes and shoes, and his mental outlook was completely new. He looked clean and neat as an old man. Let's just say that he only slightly exposed the "groceries" in his belly.
"Hong Yanwu was easily convinced.
Because you must know that in the "official affairs" of the capital, the "tea shop" and the "kitchen shop" are indispensable to each other. The kitchen shop is behind the scenes, and the "tea shop" is in front of the stage, so what they do is
What's on the table couldn't be more important.
In addition to the various chores of preliminary preparations, the specific process steps from greeting, receiving, presenting gifts, giving up seats, pouring tea, fruit banquets, snacks, serving dishes, and serving soup after the guests arrive also have to be handled.
The "tea house" is responsible for coordinating everything.
Even though the "teaney" is only a half-concierge for weddings and weddings in name, the actual function is much greater than that of a real concierge. You can't do anything without a "teaney".
To be honest, a good and experienced "teaser" can be called the mainstay and soul of the banquet process. The services they can provide are something that even the most famous "wedding service companies" cannot do today.
None of today's etiquette masters and wedding organizers are as knowledgeable as the teahouses of the past, from the official ceremony regulations to the folk "mother-in-law encyclopedia". They speak and act in perfect harmony.
.
It can even remind the host of their negligence in a timely manner, and even teach people the etiquette in advance for those who don’t know the etiquette. Not to mention setting up the tea stove and oil table, pouring tea and water, and organizing the fruit mat.
These are the professional skills for making Beijing-style sweets.
That is a comprehensive gap in cultural knowledge, sophistication, etiquette, and service items. The quality of modern wedding organizers is much worse.
Therefore, Li Fu is not only a veritable master of etiquette, but also a banquet organizer with great practical experience.
In addition, "Yanmei Building" is right at the door of the Hong family's house. He was often responsible for taking care of the Hong family's weddings and celebrations. He was very familiar with the Hong family's taboos, preferences and courtyard environment.
What to pay attention to and how to do it are all clear. If he is not an expert, he will not be an expert.
Specifically, regarding the wedding banquet, Li Fu initially discussed only two issues with Hong Yanwu that needed to be resolved as a priority. One was people and the other was things.
First of all, no one’s family is a restaurant, so to do things, you must first hire a cook.
In the past, the Hong family owned restaurants, and the "Yanmei House" could just send people to "go out for meetings". There was no need to send people to "supervise the banquets," so it was natural and worry-free.
But that's not possible now. The Hong family has long since lost their own restaurant and restaurant, so they have to hire outsiders.
In today's social environment, the quality of the chef's craftsmanship is the real priority. If the guests don't eat well, it will be the most embarrassing thing. How to make the meal affordable and upscale is the top priority.
In addition, because the Hong family is hosting a large event, they need to hire a lot of people. It is not enough to just be a good chef, you must also have experience in handling such large events.
Otherwise, not only will it cause unnecessary waste to the owner, but the scene will also be ruined, and the host will lose face.
So it’s not easy to find the right person to do it.
In addition, just having a chef is not enough. People are needed to greet guests, prepare gifts, offer seats, pour tea, and serve food. At least a dozen people must be hired to help.
In the past, this was not a difficult task, but now no one is willing to wait on someone for two bucks. Even if they are willing to pay more, it will take a lot of trouble to find enough manpower.
Secondly, the outsourced kitchen only has manpower, and the host may even have to prepare the materials themselves. Therefore, the host must prepare the pots and pans, tables, chairs, teacups, teapots, and even the stove and cooking utensils.
Like in the past, stoves were built by experts only, ceremonial items for weddings were rented from the "Wedding Sedan Shop", pots, pans, and cooking utensils for banquets were rented from kitchen shops and restaurants, and tea sets and kettles were rented from
The "Hot Pot Tea Party" rents out the tables, chairs, benches, and sets of tableware from the "Guyzuoer Shop".
In addition, there are the "Teng Pu" responsible for setting up wedding tents, the "Jing Cai Bureau" specializing in tying colors, the "Jing Paper Shop" supplying etiquette supplies, the "Paper Shop" supplying "Dragon and Phoenix Wedding Cake" and the "Xi Zi Pu".
Steamed bun shop.
Even if it is a new-style wedding, renting a civilized wedding hall will require all kinds of furnishings. The groom's Western-style dress, the bride's wedding dress, veil, beaded crown, head flowers, hand flowers, gauze, children's dress, flower baskets, floats,
Western-style bands can also be hosted by the "Purple House" in "Rongxian Hutong".
In short, every item has its origin and origin. The owner only needs to pay for it.
But now these trading shops have long since disappeared. But some of these things can be saved, and some really cannot be saved.
If you want to do it, you have to worry about everything yourself, and you have to look for it one by one.
Not to mention the trouble, the key is that many things cannot be rented and can only be bought. The money is definitely not suitable for both young and old, and people have to transport it home. These things need to be calculated first...
As soon as Li Fugu said this, Hong Yanwu was dumbfounded.
He never thought that having to do such a thing at home would involve so many things and the problems that needed to be dealt with would be so trivial.
Think about it, there are so many extremely complicated things and countless clues that cannot be solved by hard work, carefulness and spending money. There are many problems that inexperienced people cannot even think of.
If he had to rely on himself to raise the funds, not to mention the dignity, if he didn't think carefully, he would have to make a big joke.
Fortunately, Li Fu was here, which saved his worries and shouldered the burden of worry and trouble for him. He was not stupid, how could he not miss Uncle Li? How could he not willingly put the "general dispatch" in his heart?
"How about giving up the name?"
So, Hong Yanwu and Li Fu clapped their chests on the spot, expressing their obedience to all orders.
Moreover, he also has his own strength, which is to reassure Uncle Li that he has both money and people.
He said he would buy whatever needed to be used. He wanted forty large round tables for ten people first, and other items should be equipped according to this standard. Anyway, he was still thinking about re-opening the old shop in the future, so no matter how much he bought, it would not be wasted.
He also didn’t have to worry about manpower. He could send people and cars to follow him when shopping, and Uncle Li didn’t have to worry about hard work. Finally, when it came time to do the work, he guaranteed to be able to call dozens of people over and let Uncle Li choose from among them.
Li Fu was really happy to hear this. Firstly, the problem he was most worried about was protected. Secondly, how could he not want his old shop to reopen?
The old man kept saying yes, and also said that if that day really comes, I will have to stand in front of the "Yanmei Building" hall to greet guests for a few more days.
Having said that, it is true that "the expert will know if there is anything as soon as he reaches out his hand." Li Fu followed Hong Yanwu's words and came up with a good idea, which is economical and practical.
What Li Fu means is that there is no need to buy a big round table at all. Just buy a square table. This kind of table is the most useful and can be used for daily personal use. And as long as you add a round table top and cover it with a tablecloth, it can instantly serve ten people.
seat.
It’s easy to transport, easy to lay and remove, how cheap is it?
Hong Yanwu immediately raised his thumb and couldn't help but shout brilliant.
Because this is experience. People who have never done it before will not be able to figure it out even if they break their heads. This even stimulated him to have the idea of an upgraded version.
He rolled his eyes and said very excitedly soon, "Uncle Li, I'll get you three thousand yuan later. Don't buy an ordinary table. Let's go to the woodware store of the trust house first. You can choose the special one."
Buy me a hardwood Eight Immortals table. I want huanghuali, rosewood, and wenge wood. It doesn’t matter if one color is the same. Isn’t it necessary to lay a tablecloth anyway? That’s really killing two birds with one stone..."
