In the room of Tian, the shop owner of the town's grocery store, a table of people sat together, eating hot hot pot. No matter how cold wind blew outside, the room was steaming hot, and everyone was sweating profusely.
This meal took a long time. After everyone had eaten and drank, the waiter, with the help of Gong Yu and Gong Yue, cleaned the table and made a pot of tea to serve. Gong Jian and Tian
The shopkeeper, the chief shopkeeper and Blacksmith Wang sat at the table again and drank tea.
Several people had eaten a little too much. Now they were sitting on the chairs. They didn't look like they were sitting upright before. Instead, they had their bellies sticking out. Fortunately, everyone looked like this, and no one could laugh at anyone.
Blacksmith Wang spoke first: "Brother Gong, this pot of yours is really good! I didn't expect the food to be so delicious. I really enjoyed my meal today."
Blacksmith Wang was stroking his obviously enlarged belly while recalling the deliciousness of the meal just now. If he hadn't really been unable to eat, he would have stayed at the table.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turned to Gong Jian and asked: "Brother Gong, let me discuss something with you. Can I take a bite of this pot for myself?"
The pattern of this hot pot was given to him by Gong Jian and was ordered by a customer. Blacksmith Wang didn't think he could just create one for his own home. No matter what, he had to say hello to Gong Jian.
Of course, if the hot pot hadn't been so tempting, he wouldn't have opened his mouth. If the other party didn't agree, then he would have no choice but to stop thinking about it. But when he thought of such a delicious thing leaving him, Blacksmith Wang
Thinking about it made me feel distressed.
So when he asked that question, Wang Tiejiang's eyebrows were drawn together, looking bitter and resentful. He was thinking in his mind whether he would pull off his old face if Gong Jian didn't agree.
, relying on his many years of friendship with Shopkeeper Tian, he asked the old guy to intercede for him.
Before he could continue to think about it, Gong Jian had already answered his question happily: "If Master Wang wants to build something by himself, that's no problem. I only have one request. If anyone else asks you to come here,
I hope you won’t agree to him.”
As soon as Blacksmith Wang heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he nodded hurriedly and agreed: "Okay, okay, Brother Gong, don't worry. I will definitely be able to do this. I only make one hot pot at home."
If anyone else comes to eat, I won’t make it for them.”
After saying this, as if he was still worried that Gong Jian would be uneasy, he continued to add: "After finishing the pot in my house, I washed my hands in the golden basin. After that, I asked my two apprentices to prepare the things in the store.
.”
Gong Jian did not expect that Blacksmith Wang would actually say this. In order to reassure himself, he actually proposed the plan of early retirement. He quickly stopped him and said: "Master Wang, you can't give up your business so early."
Blacksmith Wang had long wanted to hand over the shop to his two apprentices. Before, there were very few jobs that required him to do the work himself. This time Gong Jian was able to ask him to make the hot pot by himself, and it was entirely because of Shopkeeper Tian's reputation.
After he took the initiative to build an iron hotpot for his home, in order to reassure Gong Jian, he naturally said that he would never build a hotpot again.
After all, the only person who can make hot pot now is himself. If he promises not to make it again, naturally no one else will get the hot pot.
Blacksmith Wang also noticed that after eating the meal just now, the general manager of Tianji Restaurant was staring at Gong Jian without blinking. It can be seen that this hot pot must be a big business. He said that
If so, it can be regarded as guaranteeing the interests of these two people. But he did not expect that Gong Jian would stop him just as he made this proposal.
Blacksmith Wang looked at Gong Jian doubtfully and heard him say: "Master Wang, you can't stop beating this hot pot. Instead, you need to continue beating it. The more you beat, the better."
Blacksmith Wang was a little puzzled, isn't this thing very rare? At this time, he saw Gong Jian's eyes and turned to the general manager sitting next to him. He couldn't help but make a rough guess in his heart. But after all, this matter
No one made it clear, but he looked at Gong Jian's confident look and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I understand. I will teach my two apprentices carefully when I get back."
When Gong Jian heard what he said, he also knew that Blacksmith Wang was a smart man. But at this time, he had not yet reached an agreement with the general manager, so he could not say much.
So he just asked Blacksmith Wang: "Master Wang, please be more diligent and build as many as possible. The wages will be based on the calculation we discussed before."
When Blacksmith Wang heard this, he immediately felt happy. In the past, because hot pot was a new thing, he had to pay a lot of money. But now, Gong Jian asked him to make as many as possible. So this time the business is considered
Down the road, the shop's income will definitely be considerable.
He stood up hurriedly: "Okay, then I'll go back and get ready right away. Brother Gong, just wait and put away the pot."
After saying that, Blacksmith Wang laughed and said goodbye to everyone. Shopkeeper Tian also saw that there was probably something to discuss between the chief shopkeeper and Gong Jian. So he took the opportunity to see Blacksmith Wang off and avoided the room.
When the general manager saw that all the troublemakers were gone, he immediately said impatiently: "Brother Gong, how much money do we have to pay for hot pot, you can sell it to Tian Ji."
After having a hot pot meal, the head shopkeeper immediately realized that this hot pot was different from the previous recipes. It is immeasurable now how much profit and fame this thing will bring to Tian Ji. But it is certain
The most important thing is that once Tianji launches hot pot, it will surely secure its position as the industry leader.
Considering this, the head shopkeeper also had to deal with Gong Jian carefully. No matter how much price he proposed or what conditions he proposed, he would definitely get the hot pot.
Gong Jian saw that the general manager was determined to win, and he knew something in his heart: "General manager, you have tasted this hot pot this time, and I think you should also know its charm. It is early winter now, if Tianji Restaurant
Launching hot pot. I think this winter, Tian Ji’s reputation will be known to all women and children, and will be famous all over the country.”
The words from the general manager, Gong Jian, made his eyes light up with excitement. He seemed to see the bustling scene of people in Tianji Restaurant. This deepened his determination to get the hot pot.
"Brother Gong, just tell me. How can I get you to hand over the hot pot to Tian Ji?" If before, he wanted to use some strategies to impress Gong Jian to achieve his goal. At this time, he put down those calculations.
