Halfway through the banquet, everyone began to walk around the room, toasting and saying hello, and it was very lively.
Ren Darong also specially left the private room and chatted with Sun Dahai for a long time on the sofa in the hall. He was more concerned about the mainland official's views on the future of Hong Kong, and Sun Dahai, as an ordinary mainlander, what will he think of Xiangjiang after coming to Xiangjiang? understanding.
Sun Dahai had a good impression of him. He was a sincere, steady and courageous person, so he vaguely revealed some of the future development of Xiangjiang to him.
It seems that Ren Darong also has a fairly deep understanding of this. After he agreed with Sun Dahai's statement, he fell into deep thinking.
After a while, the guests began to leave one after another.
Ren Darong had to lead the team for training the next morning, so he also said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he also specifically told Ren Tuanxi to play with Sun Dahai when he had time.
Father Ren and the others were leaving as well, and he wanted to see off the guests along the way. Inspector Wang told Chef Cao that he would greet the surrounding diners and not let them come to harass them.
After seeing off the last guest, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening. Everyone suddenly felt relaxed.
Everyone worked together and quickly cleaned up Cao Ji's private restaurant. After seeing off Zheng Ziwei, Zheng Peipei and Ah Dai, they went upstairs together.
Chef Cao was worried and asked everyone for their evaluation of tonight's meal.
Everyone said there was no problem, it was very good. Tonight’s banquet was worthy of the name of high-end private cuisine, from the color and aroma of each dish to the combination of dishes and complementary styles and tastes. From the reactions of many guests, It can also fully verify the point.
Sun Dahai hesitated for a moment and made an opinion: "Not counting drinks, labor and rent, the average cost of each table today is about nearly 600 Hong Kong dollars. Is our price a bit low? Do you want to consider it? The table sells for HKD 2,999?”
As a result, Sun Dahai was called a small profiteer and was driven back to his room to sleep.
Sun Dahai muttered, saying that the profits from high-end private kitchens and Malatang sold on the street are higher than here.
After a while, Ren Kuang ran in in a hurry.
"Hai Dahai, I've been so busy these days that I forgot about the World Cup games. What happened to the games we bought in the last round?"
Sun Dahai spread his hands: "How did I know? I'm busy these days. I have to help Grandpa Cao prepare dishes every day."
Ren Kuanxi smiled bitterly and said: "Tell me, how can we bet on football like this? The games we bet on are all over and we don't know the results."
He looked at his watch: "At this time, the third round of competition has already begun, and we are not prepared at all."
"Uncle Hua, please call and check the account balance. We deposited 2,000 Hong Kong dollars in it and placed a bet of 1,000 yuan. Anyway, the prize will be redeemed automatically. If you don't win, there should be 1,000 Hong Kong dollars left in the account, otherwise it will be I won the prize." Sun Dahai gave Ren Kuang an idea.
"Yes, I'm going to make a call now."
Sun Dahai got himself a large glass of water. He had eaten a bit too much in the evening. He would drink more water now to avoid being thirsty for a while.
After listening to the service staff's report on the phone (automatic voice technology did not exist in this era), Ren Kuangxi said thank you and hung up the phone.
He turned his head and said to Sun Dahai: "Dahai, we won again in the last round. There are now more than 42,000 Hong Kong dollars in the account."
He did the math and said, "Excluding the capital, each of us will win 20,000 yuan."
"That's great!" Sun Dahai pretended to be excited and said, "However, we have won two rounds in a row. Since the third round has already started, let's rest for a few days and wait until the second stage of the competition starts. Let’s bet again.”
"I was just about to tell you that if we win twice in a row, no matter how good our luck is, we will run out. We should wait a few days."
After washing up, the two of them lay on the bed and prepared to sleep.
"Dahai, Uncle Cao's shop has opened, and you don't have anything to do. Where do you want to go these days? I'll arrange a time and take you there."
"Uncle Hua, let's forget it. The weather in Xiangjiang is really uncomfortable, hot and muggy, and I really can't adapt to it. I'm going to the hospital for a review these days, and Aunt Lisa is looking for someone to make an appointment for me.
A few days ago, when I was exercising at the sports ground in the morning, I heard from people there. They said that Canossian Hospital has a complete set of health examinations for the elderly, and the most advanced set costs HKD 1,680.
Now that we have won money, I wonder if we should buy a set of physical examinations for each of the elderly at home. Don’t they always say that if you get an unexpected fortune, you must spend part of it? Buying a physical examination will allow you to If they check your body, we can consider it as our filial piety."
Ren Kuanhui, who had been lying down, suddenly sat up. He patted his thigh and said, "Thank you, Dahai."
Ren Kuei's sudden move startled Sun Dahai.
"My acting career has not developed very smoothly in the past few years. Although I have worked hard, I have always been unable to truly integrate into the first- and second-tier lineups. In my anxiety, I ignored the feelings of my mother and relatives.
If you hadn't reminded me of what you just said, I wouldn't have noticed it yet. You are right, I will go inquire about the old man's physical examination tomorrow. We will handle this matter beautifully."
A few days later, on Friday night, Ren Kuei came back with several VIP medical examination cards for Canossian Hospital.
Sun Dahai had already completed a nasal examination in the morning, and the results showed that he had recovered quite well after the operation and there were no problems anymore.
As agreed upon, Ren Kuei purchased physical examination services for seven people. These included Zheng Ziwei, Chef Cao and his wife, Jiang Xiuping, Ren's father, Ren's mother, and Ren Kuei's mother.
After dinner at the restaurant was over and everything was cleaned up, everyone went upstairs to discuss when to go for a physical examination.
Everyone else is easy to say, but the more troublesome one is Chef Cao.
After a few days of business, Caoji's Private Kitchen Restaurant has become somewhat famous within a certain area through the publicity of guests who dine here.
Although there is no guarantee that all four tables will be full during the two meals a day, on average, three tables will be no problem. Moreover, as time goes by and word-of-mouth spreads, it will soon become difficult to have a meal at Cao Ji Private Restaurant. beg.
The physical examination service purchased by Ren Kuei is the most advanced VIP physical examination for the elderly. You must make an appointment in advance before going. The physical examination will start in the morning and will not be completed until the afternoon of the next day.
Of course, the really expensive physical examination fee includes all meals and two days and one night's accommodation in a luxury ward.
The initial time on the physical examination card is next Tuesday. If there is any change, the time can be changed in advance.
The younger generation showed their filial piety, which made several elders feel very heart-warming. However, Chef Cao's time was indeed difficult to arrange.
Chef Cao had no choice but to say, "How about I forget it this time and talk about it later when I have the opportunity. You can go on your own at a good time."
How can this be done?
Sun Dahai asked Chef Cao: "Grandpa Cao, are you opening this restaurant to make money?"
"No, I just like cooking. Now that I have retired and come to Xiangjiang, I can't stay idle."
"This is not easy. Our restaurant will be open five days a week from now on. There are many customers on weekends, so we will set two days of rest in the middle of the week, Tuesday and Wednesday. We will not be open on these two days.
You can go out to play with Grandma Zheng, or you can rest at home. If you really can't sit still and want to cook, just invite a few friends to try cooking some new dishes at home, invite everyone to eat and drink for free, and have fun together."
Chef Cao thought about it, yes, I’m not here to make money, so why should I schedule my time so full that I don’t have any personal time at all!
"Sure, Dahai, I'll do as you say. Hua Zai, you are scheduled to go for a physical examination next Tuesday, right? Ziyun, do you have any reservations for the restaurant for next Tuesday and Wednesday?"
