The establishment of the Huaxia branch is definitely a top priority for Suiyuejinghao Investment Company, and the opening time of the first store has been determined. As the branch manager and store manager, Ouyang Huihui has the obligation to report to the company’s chairman and principal
Shareholders make truthful notifications.
Fa Ge and the others thought that the opening of a new store was a happy event, and they also had their own investment, so they should express it no matter what. However, they were busy people and did not have the time or inconvenience to go to the mainland to attend the opening ceremony in person.
After discussing with several people and contacting Ren Kuanxi, who was studying in the United States, they decided that each person would contribute a share of the money and entrust the store manager Ouyang Huihui to buy opening flower baskets for them locally and send them to them for good luck.
Ouyang Huihui asked around in Shanghai, but could not find a place that sold opening flower baskets. Finally, she went to a gardening company, and the answer she got was: There are many flowers, you can buy them as you like. But what are opening flower baskets?
So Ouyang Huihui called Sun Weihong in the capital and told her the situation.
Cao Yue happened to be with Sun Weihong. After listening to a few words, she said: "What are you afraid of if you don't have a flower basket? Just ask Xiaoying to arrange for the master of her factory to make it."
So, this matter was left to Dai Wenpeng. He personally took the train to the bamboo weaving factory and explained the general shape and requirements of the opening flower baskets to several masters.
At the same time, Cao Yue, who was in the capital, also wanted to join in the fun. When she mentioned it at the party, Chen Feng, Bruce Lee and others responded one after another. In the name of their company or individuals, they also came to Fang Ying's bamboo weaving factory to open flower baskets.
Order.
The cost of a pair of opening flower baskets, including the flowers inside, was only 180 yuan. Of course, the prerequisite was that Clivia could not be used. So a group of people were bored and joined in the fun.
Chen Feng even made a fuss and told Cui Nan from Long Province and Wu Dawei from Xiangjiang.
As a result, Long Province Branch, Universal Trading Company, Lan Kwai Fong Development Management Company, No. 9 Hot Pot Restaurant and two companies that built the future also joined in.
The opening flower basket is not difficult for the old bamboo weaving factory masters. After understanding the requirements of the opening flower basket, several masters started weaving.
At this time, additional orders came in one after another. Fang Ying's last calculation showed that there were more than thirty pairs. Fang Ying and Dai Wenpeng, who were still thinking about how to transport them cost-effectively, no longer had to think about it now.
The bamboo weaving factory has its own truck and can drive it directly to Shanghai.
So Dai Wenpeng returned to Shanghai empty-handed, contacted the gardening company in Shanghai, and placed an order for the required flower types and quantities.
After Fang Ying waited for all the bamboo baskets to be finished, she figured it was almost time, so she followed the car over in person.
She used the bamboo weaving factory's own truck, with two drivers taking turns driving, and she also brought a mechanic to help with the transportation and repair of the flower baskets.
It was hard work for her. The truck drove for two days and only arrived in Shanghai this morning.
She had called Dai Wenpeng before arriving. Dai Wenpeng waited for the car to arrive at the appointed location early in the morning. Then he went to the gardening company and arranged flowers in the flower baskets one by one. He did not come back until now.
When this happened, Sun Dahai was recuperating with Mr. Huang in Beidaihe. After he came back, he didn't often stay at home, and this was a small matter in itself. He had never been too busy to take care of the quiet things of the years, so no one thought about it.
Get up and talk to him. He didn't know until it was delivered to his home.
Fang Ying was tired after following the car for two days. Cao Yue and Sun Weihong took her to wash up and rest.
The flower basket will be placed in the garage of the villa tonight and will be placed outside early tomorrow morning.
Sun Dahai called Battelle to come out. Han Shaobai also came back at this time. Zhang Yimou and the driver also came to help. With more people and strength, a few people quickly handled all the opening flower baskets.
After finishing, Sun Dahai continued to cook, and Dai Wenpeng led three people from the bamboo weaving factory to a nearby employee dormitory, arranging for them to eat and rest there.
The real major shareholder of Suijinghao is Sun Weihong, and Han Shaobai knows this. The cafe will open tomorrow, which is a big event for them.
Han Shaobai came back early today and asked his instructor for tomorrow's leave, just to spend this important day with Sun Weihong.
Now that Han Shaobai is back, someone will accompany Zhang Yimou. Sun Dahai returns to the kitchen and continues cooking.
There are not many people eating at home tonight.
Ouyang Huihui and the people in the cafe were making final preparations and had no time to bring it over. Dai Wenpeng was arranged by Sun Dahai to accompany the people in the bamboo weaving factory.
Dinner will be ready soon.
Dry-roasted large yellow croaker, braised large yellow croaker, sliced meat with straw mushrooms, dry-roasted green beans and garlic water spinach, and of course the braised prawns ordered by Cao Yue, as well as a pigeon soup with astragalus and wolfberry.
Sun Dahai bought the pigeons when he went to the vegetable market yesterday.
They were two wild pigeons that were captured by nearby farmers. He saw Sun Dahai and Bater happily buying vegetables, so he found them in private and sold them to them for two yuan.
Speaking of which, Sun Dahai is not superstitious about the health-preserving effects of wild pigeons. Wild pigeons are small, thin, and taste bad. Moreover, wild animals have many internal parasites, so be extra careful when handling them.
Sun Dahai has always felt that domesticated meat pigeons taste much better than wild pigeons. As for nutrition, how much difference can there be if you eat it once or twice occasionally? If he could choose, he would definitely not choose wild pigeons to eat.
But now he couldn't buy meat pigeons, and he was greedy. When he saw wild pigeons, they were still alive and the price was not expensive, so he reluctantly bought them.
Sun Dahai tied the feet of the wild pigeons he bought yesterday and kept them in the villa yard for a day. Today, he saw that the pigeons had no adverse reactions, so he asked Battelle to kill them and make soup.
dinner time.
Everyone sat around the dining table and had dinner together. Sun Weihong also opened a bottle of Wuliangye bought from a foreign exchange store to entertain Zhang Yimou.
"What's the difference between dry roasting and braised in red?"
Zhang Yimou is from Sanqin and rarely eats seafood. Sun Dahai introduced him to the fish and shrimps he made.
“The biggest difference between dry-roasting and braised in brown sauce is that dry-cooking is about ‘oil but no juice’. All the soup in the pot should be absorbed into the fish, and only the fish and oil are left in the end. The characteristic is that the oil is rich and the flavor is strong.
The characteristics of braised fish are thick soup, bright red color and delicious fish meat. Both methods have their own advantages.
Anyway, I bought two fish today, so I will make them both ways. You can choose according to your personal preferences."
Three people drank from a bottle of liquor, but Zhang Yimou and Han Shaobai combined didn't drink even three ounces, and the rest went into Battelle's stomach.
Judging from his unsatisfied expression, I guess giving him another bottle may not be enough. As long as the Mongolian people dare to hold up a wine glass at the dinner table, their drinking capacity will not be small.
After dinner, Zhang Yimou said goodbye and left. He had to go get the machine for shooting early tomorrow morning, so he couldn't stay too late today.
Fang Ying couldn't bear it anymore. As soon as Zhang Yimou left, she went back to sleep. Everyone was also preparing to go to bed early to welcome the opening ceremony tomorrow.
Poor Sun Dahai still had a pot of meat left uncooked in each of the two kitchens. He looked at the raw meat in the pot and felt like crying.
