June 22, 1982, the second day of the fifth lunar month, is suitable for: moving into a house, starting a business, setting up a bed, trading, opening a business, setting up documents, opening the market, collecting money...
The door of Cao Ji's private restaurant is the same as the doors of other residents here. It is a unified security door. However, today, there is a small bronze plaque hanging next to the door, which is covered by red silk.
The usually wide and quiet corridors and waiting halls were now crowded with people. More than ten people stood here, making the place suddenly crowded.
Chef Cao, wearing a chef's hat and a brand new summer chef uniform, accompanied by Cao Yong and Zheng Ziwei, greeted the guests invited to attend the opening ceremony
At 18:18 in the afternoon, Chef Cao, who had been waiting for a long time, invited General Manager Lin from the Bafu Garden Property Management Office to walk to the door surrounded by everyone.
The two of them uncovered the red silk together, revealing a small yellow copper plaque, on which the two characters "Cao Ji" were written in black regular script.
Amid everyone's applause, the owner, Chef Cao, opened the door and took a photo with all the employees in front of the door, leaving this historic moment.
Sun Dahai also wore a special extra-small chef uniform and a chef hat, stood at the front and took photos with everyone.
The opening ceremony of Cao Ji Private Kitchen Restaurant is over.
It’s so willful, simple, and clear!
Such an opening ceremony will probably leave a deep impression on every guest who attends the ceremony.
Although such a simple opening ceremony was opposed by some people in the family, it was very popular with Chef Cao and Sun Dahai. With the efforts of the old and the young, they fought with each other in the family and finally implemented the plan.
Speaking of the first proposer of this plan, it was a certain "dedicated" master - Jlee.
…
After calculating the opening time, Zheng Ziwei prepared to hold a big party and even invited a lion dance team. Such an upstart behavior made everyone look down upon him.
However, when facing big benefactors, Master Jlee still used tactful words.
"This is a private restaurant, which emphasizes tranquility, emotion and confidentiality. Therefore, I calculated that 18:18 pm is an auspicious time to open the restaurant, which complements the nature of the private restaurant. Do you think this time is appropriate for lion dance?
If a restaurant or teahouse is to be opened here, then I will calculate the auspicious time from the morning, and it is up to you whether to invite people to do the lion dance or not."
This is the only serious thing that Master Jlee does - Sun Dahai said to himself.
…
With the master's tips, everyone made the opening ceremony as simple as possible, and this was it in the end. This was the crystallization of everyone's collective wisdom, and Sun Dahai would never admit that he had any hints or inducements from it.
The guests present today are all invited friends. Everyone visited the restaurant first, and then went into the private rooms respectively. Everyone introduced each other and exchanged greetings. Those who knew each other strengthened friendships, and those who did not know each other got closer. It was very lively.
Dinner doesn't officially start until 19:00.
Ren Darong agreed to come, but his identity is sensitive and it is not suitable to show up too much in private situations. Therefore, he had already made an appointment in advance and made an appointment with several colleagues to come to support him and would arrive at 19:00.
Now in the large private room, the origin of the guests is quite mixed; there are a few people from property management; there are fellow lawyers who, like Cao Yong, live here, and there are also a few friends invited by Zheng Ziwei.
The real estate agent is a local snake and is also a business partner of Cao Yong's unit. Because of this relationship, the real estate agent helped a lot when preparing for Cao Ji's private restaurant. In addition, there will be many things in the future that require the cooperation of the real estate agent.
So they must be invited.
In addition to General Manager Lin, the property management office also came to attend the opening ceremony with the head of the decoration and modification department who had been helping before, as well as the heads of the owners committee and the security department. A total of four people came to attend the opening ceremony.
Cao Yong invited the most people. Who made Bafu Garden a client of their law firm? This is a high-end large apartment. His fellow lawyers who are not short of money have used internal discounts to buy properties here.
Cao Yong works at Hanyu International Law Firm. This is the Xiangjiang branch of the well-established Britton Law Firm. Cao Yong has Xiangjiang citizenship and graduated from Cambridge in eight years with a bachelor's degree and a bachelor's degree. In their eyes, Cao Yong is
A truly one of a kind person.
Cao Yong has been working in the law firm for four years. He is diligent and capable, and because the division of labor here is very fine, several big lawyers each have a certain scope, and they cooperate far more than compete with each other, so they have a good relationship with each other.
A few days ago, Cao Yong announced that his father's private restaurant was about to open, and he sent invitations to his work colleagues who lived in Bafu Garden.
Since everyone has a good relationship and the restaurant is at their doorstep, everyone responded one after another. Except for those who really had something to do and couldn't come, the rest of the people were all present, a total of eight people. Even William, the senior partner of the law firm and the director of the Xiangjiang branch, came.
?White, also came to attend in person.
William is over sixty. His grandfather was one of the founders of the law firm, and his father and he also worked for the law firm throughout their lives.
It has been decades since his father became the director of the Xiangjiang Branch, and his family has moved to Xiangjiang. He has also grown from a young man in his prime to an old man in his sixties.
Decades of living in Xiangjiang have turned him into a Chinese expert. He especially admires Chinese food and even calls himself a half-Chinese gourmet.
A new restaurant has opened downstairs in his home, especially Shandong cuisine and Manchu cuisine, which are relatively rare in Xiangjiang. Naturally, William will not miss it.
Zheng Ziwei knew that there would be more guests coming when it opened today, and the seats here were limited, so he only invited four friends to attend.
His friends are about the same age as him and are all bosses with a certain amount of assets. A high-end private restaurant like Caoji is naturally attractive to them.
After being invited to attend, they had a great time chatting with the lawyers in the same room. We all have industries, and the demand for legal resources is rigid.
There are two small private rooms, one of which is full of Lisa's colleagues. Lisa works at the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and most of the colleagues attending the opening are women.
In the private room, they put aside their usual serious attitude at work, chattering and laughing non-stop.
There are currently only four guests in the other private room, accompanied by Ren's father. They were all close subordinates of Ren's father before his retirement, and are now in the Kowloon Police Station or the police stations below, working with real power.
Father Ren wants to use his connections to protect Cao Ji's private restaurant.
After Chef Cao and Zheng Ziyun went around several private rooms, Chef Cao went into the kitchen and started to prepare. Zheng Peipei and Ah Dai also took their places and started working. Zheng Ziyun was at the bar in the living room, supporting them in the middle.
Jiang Xiuping was taking care of her children upstairs. When the store opened just now, she carried Cao Shanshan down and walked around. The little princess of the Cao family also attended the opening ceremony in person.
Sun Dahai has always been a bystander. At first, he and Ren Kuangwei helped take care of him in the living room. Now Chef Cao started to prepare for work. Seeing that it was almost time, Ren Kuangei also went downstairs to greet his brother. He consciously Wandered into the kitchen to help.
A lot of preparation work was actually completed yesterday and today during the day. Now, it is actually the final step of cooking.
Chef Cao and Ah-Dai were arranging the dishes at this time. It was time to prepare the cold dishes.
At 18:55, the door opened, and Ren Kuang led the way, followed by four or five people in police uniforms.
Zheng Ziyun went up to him and chatted cordially with one of them.
Chef Cao also washed his hands and led Sun Dahai out of the kitchen.
"Arong, you're here."
"Uncle Cao, congratulations on your grand opening!" A policeman in his thirties stretched out his hands to hold Chef Cao's hand.
"This is a Chinese painting that I bought in exchange for a gift recently. I wish you a prosperous business and abundant financial resources."
"Thank you, thank you!" Chef Cao grinned from ear to ear.
This should be Uncle Hua’s brother Simon Yam, right?
