"Young lady, the preliminary program list has been released."
"Miss Youyou, Guan Chengya had objections to her singing a duet with many artists, and pointed the finger at director Zhao Guan for wearing small shoes for her."
"Miss Youyou, the Sundance Company requires more money, otherwise they will refuse to take the job."
"Miss Youyou, your makeup seems a bit washed out. Can I touch up it for you first?"
"Miss Youyou, please drink some water."
Work is still very busy during the day. The Suyi Sports Center is in full swing, with people shouting everywhere. The most eye-catching sight is the hands-on person in charge, Li Youqing.
She has not rested since she arrived at the venue in the morning, constantly dealing with a series of problems that occurred during the preparations. Due to the relatively hot weather, beads of sweat were faintly visible on her forehead, mixed with a few thin hairs.
Even the makeup was somewhat affected by this.
However, Li Youqing didn't take it seriously. He ran to wash his face, tied his hair into a ponytail with a rubber band, then applied a little foundation and then continued to work. His serious attitude was convincing.
Of course, in addition to being diligent, Li Youqing's professional skills are also very good. She solves almost every issue perfectly and wins the recognition of both parties.
With an outstanding leader with wisdom and hard work, the employees working below must have no reason to be lazy. Even the director team was embarrassed to sit in the greenhouse with their legs crossed and chat and drink tea. They got up and stood on the front line with the plan drawings.
As a result, the progress in terms of venue layout, program flow, logistics, rehearsals, etc. has been greatly improved.
It was not until lunch time that Li Youqing stopped working and sat on a chair to rest with his aching body.
"Miss Youyousao, your meal." The life assistant handed over the lunch box.
"Thanks."
Li Youqing thanked her softly, took a sip of water to moisten her throat, and then picked up the lunch box and prepared to eat.
But before she had time to open the lunch box, she seemed to remember something, put the lunch box down again, took out her phone to check, and happened to see the message Jiang Bei sent in the morning:
[Sorry, I have something to do tonight. I will prepare the ribs at home first, and you can heat them up and eat them when you come back in the evening. 】
"Something happens every day, and my wife doesn't care about it." Looking at this message, Li Youqing suddenly felt unhappy, pouting and complaining in a low voice.
Today's lunch boxes are quite generous, thanks to Erjing Film and Television's high-quality welfare benefits for employees, which are basically customized in accordance with the highest standards in the industry.
But no matter how good the food is, it no longer tastes good, and I even have no appetite to eat it.
After all, in her opinion, what Jiang Bei did was really a bit excessive. He actually ate out for two nights in a row, and it was with the opposite sex.
As a wife, how could Li Youqing not care?
"Sister Youyou, why don't you eat? Is the food not to your liking? Then I'll make two more stir-fry dishes." Life Assistant No. 2 has sharp eyes and quickly discovered the problem, and hurriedly ran up to ask with concern.
"It's okay, I'm not hungry." Li Youqing forced a smile and waved his hand to indicate that he was okay.
That being said, how could she be okay, but she just couldn't tell anyone about it? Could it be that she told others that her husband had something to do tonight and wouldn't have dinner with her?
She couldn't say this out loud for fear of being criticized for being pretentious.
"Damn Jiangbei, he's getting more and more outrageous now. I must teach him a lesson tonight." Xiao Nizi gritted her teeth and secretly thought.
Naturally, Jiang Bei would not know that his wife had already planned to deal with him in the evening. At this time, he was also taking actions to open a hotpot chain store instead of just talking.
If you want to enter the catering industry, it is not enough to have money, you must find a position that can occupy the market.
Jiangbei is not in business and has little experience in opening a store.
But as a time traveler with two lifetimes of experience, he has seen a lot of things. Especially the hot pot catering industry between the Blue Star and the Earth, which can be analyzed together to see if he can find out the two.
The difference.
Not to mention, after some discussion, there are indeed some patterns on Earth that Azure Star does not have.
The most prominent one is the ‘service first’ marketing model similar to Haidilao.
Since there is no such thing, he might as well simulate it, integrate the "Haidilao" model into his upcoming catering business, and step on the shoulders of his predecessors to take a step further.
Of course, having a model alone is not enough, you must also have taste, which is the so-called hot pot base. Only by combining the model and taste can you get twice the result with half the effort and quickly develop your own hot pot brand.
Just when Jiangbei encountered this thing, his eyes darkened and he had no idea what to do.
"Brother, I recently met a new friend. I heard that his ancestors opened a hotpot restaurant in Sichuan and Chongqing, and the hotpot base ingredients are all the family's unique secret recipe. How about asking him?" Ancheng Gambling King once again
Showing her connections, she really introduced a talent in the hot pot industry to her brother.
"Okay, let's take a look."
...
About an hour later, in a hot pot restaurant on the third floor of Cathay Pacific in Kowloon, Weilan City, Jiang Bei met this hot pot industry talent Liang Liangkou said.
He looks about forty years old. He is dressed in simple and plain clothes. There is no too much emotion on his face. He looks like a relatively reserved person.
"Brother, this is the partner I mentioned to you. His name is... that, what is your name?"
The weird gambling king can introduce partners without knowing the name of his introducer. Thanks to Jiang Bei, if it had been anyone else, he would have directly rejected the 'partner' in front of him.
"My name is Huang Jinchang."
His voice was hoarse and his tone was calm. There was no color in his turbid eyes. Only the face that had been scratched by time could barely squeeze out a somewhat mechanical twitching of the corners of his mouth.
I want to smile, but I can't.
"Yes! Xiao Huang." Liangliang suddenly understood when he heard this. He patted Huang Jinchang's shoulder unceremoniously and showed off to his brother: "Brother, Xiao Huang's ancestors all opened hotpot restaurants in Sichuan and Chongqing.
Has very rich experience.”
"My ancestors all worked in hot pot restaurants, and only my generation started to operate hot pot restaurants..." Perhaps because he felt that the gambling king's words were too exaggerated, Huang Jinchang showed some embarrassment on his face and corrected him in a low voice.
"That doesn't mean the same thing?" Liangliang waved his hand, indicating that these were not the important points, and said: "Brother, Xiao Huang experienced some accidents in life and left Sichuan and Chongqing. Now he just has nowhere to go. He just happened to be engaged in what he did in the first half of his life.
The industry is all about hot pot, and I still have the ancestral hot pot base recipe at home..."
"Ahem!" Jiang Bei couldn't help coughing twice, interrupting the gambling king.
Damn Zhang Jiuliang, can you say that?
Returning the family's ancestral hot pot recipe, is this an obvious way to tell Huang Jinchang that you are interested in his hot pot recipe?
But what surprised Jiangbei was that Huang Jinchang's mood did not change when he heard this. Instead, he said directly: "I can give you the hot pot base recipe, but I have a condition."
"Say." Jiang Bei nodded and signaled.
This is a transaction, and he must pay a price. If it is within the allowable conditions, he does not mind meeting the other party's requirements or even taking the other party over.
But the premise of all this is that the hot pot base recipe must meet his requirements.
"I want a Azure City household registration."
"Hukou?" Jiangbei was stunned.
Huang Jinchang hesitated for a moment and said: "I have a nephew who is going to junior high school soon. I want her to receive education in Weilan City, but she has a Sichuan-Chongqing registered permanent residence."
Education is a problem that humans can never escape.
In the past, when parents were poor, they wanted their children to receive an education. Now, with the development of the times, parents want their children to receive the best education.
As the largest city in China, there is no doubt about the strength of teachers in Weilan City.
However, if you want to study in a school in Azure City, such as a public school, you must have a local household registration.
If you want to obtain a household registration in Weilan City, unless you are a talent valued by the country and can obtain a household registration through talent introduction, it is very difficult to obtain a local household registration in Weilan City.
Even Jiangbei himself is not completely sure.
"No problem, I'll take care of this matter." Liangliang directly slapped the table and took over the matter boldly.
Jiang Bei glanced at the gambling king, but didn't say anything. He turned to Huang Jinchang and asked, "Do you have any other requests?"
Knowing that the household registration issue could be solved, Huang Jinchang seemed a little relaxed, shook his head and replied: "There are no other requirements."
After saying that, he took out a piece of yellowed paper from his pocket and handed it over.
Jiang Bei took the yellowed paper and gently touched the surface. The yellowed appearance and rough feel made him realize that the paper might have been a few years old.
"This is the hot pot base recipe I have mastered. It originated from Sanwu Hotpot, a century-old store in Sichuan and Chongqing. My ancestors were long-term workers at the owner of Sanwu Hotpot, and even my father worked there all his life. Until I
This generation still apprenticed under the current owner of Sanwu Hotpot. Later, the master passed away due to illness, and I accidentally got this base ingredient recipe and left with me to start a new hotpot restaurant."
Huang Jinchang explained the origin of this base recipe, his tone full of reminiscence and emotion.
"Did you steal the recipe?" Du Wang, who was chewing on a chicken foot, asked vaguely.
"I can't stop you even if you have something to eat." Jiang Bei glared at him.
Huang Jinchang didn't take it seriously and explained: "Although I didn't steal it, it's no different from stealing it. The hot pot recipe was stolen by Sanwu Hotpot Shaodong and gave it to me."
"Since it's the young master's family, why can't it be given to you directly?" Jiang Bei raised his eyebrows and asked.
If this formula was stolen, then he would have to consider whether to accept it.
"Because she married another senior brother, she said this formula was to compensate me."
"Hey! There's a lot of information here." Liangliang spit out the chicken bones and clicked his tongue.
Upon hearing this, Huang Jinchang did not continue to talk about this topic, but went straight to the topic: "Don't worry, this formula now belongs to me, and no one in the world knows its existence except me."
"..."
After a conversation, Jiangbei roughly understood Huang Jinchang's basic situation.
People from Sichuan and Chongqing.
Having been engaged in the hot pot industry for generations, he broke away from the working class and established a new hot pot restaurant based on a century-old hot pot base recipe, becoming a self-employed business owner.
As for why he left Sichuan and Chongqing to come to Weilan City to find a livelihood, it is unknown. Jiangbei is not a household registration checker, so there is no need to get to the bottom of everything.
Judging from this information, Huang Jinchang has many years of experience in the hot pot industry. Apart from the ancient hot pot recipe, he is also a talent himself.
If you can recruit such talents into your own hot pot restaurant, it will definitely be beneficial to the future development prospects of the hot pot restaurant.
However, we can't draw any conclusions yet, we have to see if the formula works first.
"Okay Mr. Huang, I will first make a few base ingredients according to the recipe and see the effect. If it can really meet my requirements, then I will help you get your niece's household registration."
In the end, Jiangbei chose to accept the formula first and planned to brew it to see the results.
Huang Jinchang nodded and did not think there was anything inappropriate in this decision.
"Then Xiao Huang, you should go back first. I will go find you after I have the results." Liangliang clapped her hands and stood up to send Huang Jinchang out.
Huang Jinchang sat still, looking at the delicious food on the table, hesitatingly asked: "Are you still eating? If not, can you let me pack it back..."
"sure."
After Huang Jinchang left, the Jiangbei brother and sister also drove away.
"Liangliang, please make a few base ingredients as written above to see the effect. If it works, I plan to hire Huang Jinchang to be the manager of our hot pot brand chain."
"Brother, I think you have to do this yourself, because I have to help Xiao Huang's niece apply for household registration." Liangliang shook her head and did not accept this task.
"Can't we do it together?" Jiang Bei asked.
"Brother, it's not that I won't help you. The main reason is that during the next period of time, you will deliberately alienate your sister-in-law. I have to find something for you to do. Otherwise, with your soft heart, you will probably be defeated by your sister-in-law in a few days.
My pomegranate skirt is down." Liangliang said seriously.
"Please don't use words indiscriminately. It's a soft-hearted thing, not a soft-hearted intestine." Jiang Bei corrected.
However, he did not refute Liangliang's words, which was regarded as acquiescence.
The fact is that it is more interesting to find something to do than squatting in the square every day watching old ladies dance and eat bread, so after thinking about it, I took over the task of preparing the recipe.
But Jiangbei never expected that preparing the formula would be quite troublesome. In addition to finding all kinds of ingredients, he also had to fry it secretly.
As a result, the time spent increased, and he even became so busy that he forgot about his wife.
In the Arcadia Community, Li Youqing angrily called Li Qiangguo to complain: "Dad! Look at your good son-in-law, he hasn't come home for dinner for two consecutive nights!"
