The news that Li Youqing was the finale of Erjing Group's anniversary celebration did not cause any sensation, because to everyone, throughout Erjing Film and Television, no one is more popular than Li Youqing.
Since the popularity is not as good as others, naturally I have to give up the finale.
As for talking about qualifications...this thing doesn't work in the entertainment industry.
As the apparent controller of the entire Erjing Group, Zuoyouyou thought for a moment after learning the entire news and called Zhang Jiuliang to inform him of the incident.
"The finale is the finale, as long as the party is not broadcast on the platform. That's right! There is no need for any recording of this party, understand?" Although he thought that being on stage for the finale was not a big deal, the smart gambling king still thought of the blind spots and eliminated them in time.
Accidents may occur.
However, she did not tell her brother about this matter, maybe she thought it was just a very small matter in her heart.
In fact, Jiangbei didn't have much time to care about these things. After a week of personally preparing the hot pot base, he finally prepared the base recipe that met his expectations.
"The taste of the recipe is basically the same as before, but the aroma and spiciness are not enough. It is best to use Shizhuhong from Sichuan and Chongqing." Huang Jinchang, who was invited, tasted the latest hot pot base ingredients.
Hotpot expressed approval.
“Isn’t it spicy enough?”
Hearing this, Jiang Bei picked up a piece of snowflake beef and put it into the pot to scald it, then put it directly into his mouth to taste it without even dipping it into the sauce.
After finishing a piece of fat beef, his mouth felt a little spicy and he couldn't stand it. He picked up the water next to him and took a sip and said: "I think the spiciness should be moderate. If there are customers who can tolerate spicy food, they can put more on the dipping sauce."
Some, as for the bottom of the pot, forget it, after all, we have to take care of some customers who are not into spicy food."
Since we want to open a national chain store, we can’t only cater to people who can eat spicy food, but also consider customers who are less intolerant of spicy food.
After hearing this, Huang Jinchang felt that it made sense, but he still insisted: "The Shizhu red pepper can not only increase the spiciness, but the No. 5 pepper can be used to enhance fragrance and color, and is more suitable for hot pot than conventional red pepper."
Bottom material.”
After all, Huang Jinchang has been engaged in the hot pot industry for generations, and the effect of the base ingredients is really good, so Jiang Bei also respected his opinion, thought about it and said: "Since you strongly suggest it, let's get some Shizhuhong first.
Let’s compare and try to improve the base recipe.”
"If you want to buy Shizhu Red, it's best to go to Shizhu County locally. Basically, it's not authentic online or in the market, which affects the taste." Huang Jinchang then boiled a piece of fat beef and replied while eating.
"Well..." Jiang Bei thought for a moment after hearing this, and asked, "Would you like to run a trip for me?"
Huang Jinchang was not surprised after hearing this, and just replied: "I have no money for travel expenses, and no one takes care of my niece."
"I will give you enough funds, and I will also ask Liangliang to help take care of your niece."
"Okay, I agree."
"Then, you are welcome to join."
The conversation between the two was very simple, and they didn't even discuss anything other than ingredients, but they both knew in their hearts that they had become partners from this moment on.
Jiangbei needs to use Huang Jinchang's rich catering experience to manage the hot pot restaurant that is about to open, and Huang Jinchang also needs a job that can survive in a foreign land.
The two have a mutually beneficial relationship.
In addition, as the effects of the hot pot base recipe have begun to show results, having a unique hot pot base recipe and a 'service first' marketing model has made the hot pot catering company's plan mature and can enter the entrepreneurial stage at any time.
only……
"How come you haven't asked me about hot pot restaurants lately?"
On the way home, Jiang Bei thought of Li Youqing's recent attitude and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Xiao Nizi, who used to try different ways to inquire about his whereabouts almost every day, seemed to have stopped doing this again.
Why?
Looking at the darkening weather, Jiang Bei thought for a while and drove the car to the fresh food supermarket. He decided to go home to cook a meal tonight and inquire about the specific situation.
However, when he got home, he found that his sister-in-law and sister-in-law were already eating together at the dining table. Li Youqing was a little surprised when he came back: "Huh? Why don't you eat out today?"
Look at what this says, it's so weird.
"I don't have much to do today, so I came back early. I originally wanted to have a meal, but I didn't expect you guys to have already eaten."
Jiang Bei carried the ingredients to the refrigerator, opened them and put them in. When he was passing by the restaurant just now, he took a look and found that there were three dishes and one soup on the table. It was enough for him, so there was no need to add more dishes.
Damn gambling king, who are you?
"Brother, come here quickly. These are all the dishes you like to eat today."
When Liangliang saw her brother coming back, she was very attentive. She got up and ran to the kitchen to serve a bowl of rice herself and invited Jiangbei to sit down and eat.
"Um."
If there are hostile targets in Jiangbei, it's hard to say anything. Just sit down and eat.
"I'm full, you eat slowly."
When Li Youqing saw him sitting down, he immediately finished the remaining rice in the bowl, put down his chopsticks, stood up and left, without even Jiang Bei reacting.
"What's wrong with your sister-in-law? She doesn't want to see me?"
"Oh! Girls are always pretentious. My sister-in-law is showing an attitude towards you for neglecting her during this period of time. To put it simply, she cares." Zhang Jiuliang, an emotional expert, replied disapprovingly.
"It's another thing to care or not. The key point is if she ignores me like this, how can we implement our plan? Now that all the preliminary preparations for the hot pot restaurant have been completed, we are just waiting for her to speak." Jiang Bei frowned and said.
The original plan was to drag Li Youqing into trouble and ask her to take the initiative to help him start a hot pot brand chain, and at the same time divert her attention from the entertainment industry.
Now everything in the hot pot restaurant is being arranged secretly. If Li Youqing is not brought in, when the hot pot restaurant plan is launched, everything will have nothing to do with her.
"Sister-in-law doesn't speak, you can take the initiative to ask her for advice and bring her in!" Liangliang replied while chewing on the prawns.
"I take the initiative to ask? If I take the initiative to ask, what's the point of all these things you did before?" Jiang Bei asked without knowing why.
"Brother, you don't understand. Girls' thoughts are so complicated. If I don't deal with this first, my sister-in-law will definitely not agree to help you figure out the hot pot restaurant. But after you are so cold, it will be effective to come to her again."
It’s just a natural difference.”
"And when it comes to feelings, you have to do it and I do it, so that it can be unforgettable."
The gambling king is always so eloquent, at least in Jiangbei's opinion, the gambling king's eloquence is much better than her gambling skills.
"Don't fool your brother."
"Don't worry, brother, you can always trust me, the gambling king of Anseong!"
"By the way, I have asked Huang Jinchang to go to Sichuan and Chongqing. You can arrange his itinerary. In addition, you can help take care of his niece for a few days."
"no problem."
…
Perhaps because he thought what Liangliang said was reasonable, or perhaps because there was nothing he could do about the matter at this point, Jiangbei chose to knock on Li Youqing's door after eating.
"Who?"
Li Youqing's crisp voice came from the room, but she had no intention of opening the door.
"I want to discuss something with you." Jiang Bei hesitated and said.
"I'm sleepy. Let's talk about anything tomorrow."
He refused directly and didn't even want to hear the reason for the matter.
Jiang Bei outside the door was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at the gambling king who was humming a song and washing dishes in the kitchen: "The cool night has made a river of longing for you, turning into spring mud to protect me..."
Damn Zhang Jiuliang!
…
The days passed like this day by day, dull mixed with a bit of busyness.
Huang Jinchang went back as quickly as he left, and brought back two sacks of Shizhu red peppers in just three days. After getting the pure Shizhu red peppers, Jiangbei immediately started to prepare new hot pot base ingredients, and the conclusion he came to was indeed
It's better than using ordinary red pepper.
At this point, the formula of the hot pot base has been officially announced. The next thing that needs to be done is mass production and preparation for the opening of the hot pot restaurant.
It's just that Li Youqing was originally planned to participate in and preside over matters related to this aspect, because this would shift her focus.
But the reality did not go as he thought. Li Youqing suddenly changed the care and concern written on his face before and became indifferent. He was only busy with the anniversary celebration every day.
Even when Jiang Bei deliberately came home late for a few days, she didn't react at all. The warmth on the sofa was no longer there.
Xiao Nizi's abnormal behavior puzzled the old man, but also made the opening of the hot pot restaurant uncertain. Even the closed Chuan Chuan shop on Weilan Road has not yet been rented.
Fortunately, Anseong's gambling king has enough reputation, otherwise he would have sold it to someone else if he had not paid the rent for such a long time.
However, even if this is the case, the rent must be paid starting from the agreed day, and Jiangbei will have to pay for all the time wasted.
"Otherwise, let's just rent the shop and renovate it for business."
Seeing that time was getting tighter and tighter, and there was still no progress on Li Youqing's side, Jiang Bei was gradually losing his patience, so he thought of giving up the idea of diverting his wife's attention, and planned to open a hot pot restaurant directly.
But it was at this moment that Li Youqing, who had been reluctant to talk to him, handed him an exquisite invitation letter that night: Erjing Group's first anniversary celebration party.
"You'll come that night, right?"
Looking at the old man's dazed look, Li Youqing blinked and asked playfully.
"Can I go too..." Jiang Bei looked at the exquisite invitation in his hand and asked curiously.
Logically speaking, the scope of this celebration is limited to the entire Erjing Group, and outsiders are not eligible to participate.
"I am the person in charge of this anniversary celebration, so it is okay to enjoy such privileges." Li Youqing said with a proud look on his face.
"Sister-in-law, where am I?" Liangliang, who was holding a pillow and eating melon, couldn't help but ask.
"No!" Li Youqing heard this and took out another invitation letter and handed it to Liang Liang. It was obvious that he had prepared it specially.
"Remember! Don't let anything happen to you that night." After handing the invitation letter to Liangliang, Li Youqing bent down with his hands behind his back and his eyes were perpendicular to his, and he ordered word by word.
Why does this sound a bit threatening?
Jiang Bei reacted and was about to reply, but Li Youqing didn't give him this chance. He turned around and walked towards the room, closing the door with a bang.
"What does your sister-in-law mean?" Jiang Bei touched his chin and looked at the invitation in his hand, and asked Xiang Liangliang in a low voice.
Liangliang was taking pictures of the invitation with her mobile phone. She heard this and replied casually: "What's the point? I guess she wants to show off her business ability to you! After all, she is responsible for this anniversary celebration."
"Then do I want to go?" Jiang Bei asked.
Li Youqing's attitude has been very strange recently, which makes him a little suspicious of whether there is some fraud involved.
"Go ahead and coax my sister-in-law into peace first. Otherwise, after the anniversary celebration, my sister-in-law will have time to think about things in the entertainment industry." Liangliang thought for a while and suggested.
"So what you said before were all nonsense?" Jiang Bei glared and whispered fiercely.
Liangliang looked aggrieved and muttered: "Brother, I didn't know that my sister-in-law doesn't act according to common sense..."
Is it because she doesn't follow common sense, or because she doesn't like it enough?
Jiang Bei shook his head, stood up and walked towards the room with the gold-embroidered invitation.
The gambling king looked at his brother's back from behind, and for the first time he felt that this familiar figure was a bit depressing.
…
August 12th was cloudy and windy.
Today is the first anniversary of the establishment of Erjing Group. Since the morning, the Suyi Sports Center has been surrounded by reporters and fans carrying cameras. There is no gap at all.
At this time, there were still nine hours before the anniversary celebration started, and there were no audience or artists in the venue except the staff.
But even so, the number of fans and media reporters outside the venue continued to increase, and the level of excitement was no different than that of a film (music) festival.
All this is due to the rapid development of Erjing Film and Television over the past year. After successively investing in and producing three box-office hits, and then acquiring Sanchuan Cinema, Erjing Film and Television has become one of the few in the entertainment industry.
The power of the big boss.
With great energy and influence, it is easy to attract well-known artists to join.
Therefore, today's Erjing Film and Television can be said to have a gathering of first- and second-tier well-known artists. With the support of so many artists, the sensation of this anniversary celebration will naturally not be low.
But no one thought that this was just the beginning.
After noon, more and more fans came here, and the entire square outside the Suyi Sports Center was filled up, and even the entrance was blocked.
Not only that, because the fans came from different backgrounds, some frictions were inevitable, so everyone started using cheering slogans to compete.
"One heart and one mind can lead to a thousand thoughts."
"The sea will never cease to be blue, and the waves will never cease to exist."
"Look for the power and never give up."
"The sky is high, let Yu fly, and the feathers will always be with you."
"I wish you a future where we can live together through thick and thin."
