In the only large-scale Chinese traditional restaurant in New York, USA, Yang Dongxu, who was dressed in casual clothes, let go of Zhou Ya, who was clasped with ten fingers, and stepped forward to give his aunt Ran Feifei a big hug.

"Will you go home for the Chinese New Year this year?" Yang Dongxu asked directly after hugging.

"It's just over the New Year, don't you block me, okay?" Ran Feifei stretched out her hand and wanted to knock Yang Dongxu's skull, but he dodged directly.

Originally, the Chinese restaurant in New York opened, and Ran Feifei was very happy from the original sparse customers to the current full of friends, but Yang Dongxu's words made her instantly depressed.

"Didn't I warn you in advance, serious warning, if you don't go back this year, if my little grandfather arrests someone, I can only book a ticket for him. ”

Thinking about the fact that after the New Year, the little grandfather hadn't shown that he wanted to beat himself for a long time, Yang Dongxu decided to arrest his aunt back for the New Year no matter what happened this year, even if it was not long before the end of the year.

"I don't bother to pay attention to you, and you don't care about him. Ran Feifei glanced at Yang Dongxu, and then walked towards the restaurant with Zhou Ya's arm.

Zhou Ya helped a lot by opening a Chinese restaurant in New York, and the two of them were abroad alone, so they had more contact with each other and slowly became good sisters. As for Ran Feifei, she is Yang Dongxu's aunt, and Zhou Ya is the wife that Yang Dongxu is going to marry. Neither of them cared about this.

Yang Dongxu turned his head to look at the restaurant as he walked, and it was a bit too much to say that as the owner of Yang Jiayan, it was indeed a bit too much for his store to open a branch abroad for the first time. But the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and he instantly left this little guilt behind.

The whole restaurant is similar to what I discussed with Ran Feifei before, and I directly won a five-story building in the center of New York, and it took more than half a year to renovate and renovate the appearance, and then it took a lot of time to buy various restaurant utensils and recruit people for training before it opened.

And it took so much money and so long to open, and the hardware facilities of the restaurant are certainly first-class. The exterior of the restaurant has been transformed into a traditional Chinese eaves octagonal structure, and every decoration, whether it is tables, chairs, benches, columns, doors and windows, is full of antique traditional decorations.

There are no goblets, no knives and forks, and just to take care of foreigners, they don't use chopsticks to add spoons to the tableware. When you go to Starbucks for coffee, you must speak English, and you must not force you to speak Chinese for business, after all, this is too difficult, but you must insist on eating with chopsticks.

The tableware is mainly white porcelain, and the meal must also be a traditional Chinese meal, and on the plating, those seemingly carefully decorated Western food a few streets, the carving of Chinese cuisine is not plating, that is the art of understanding?

At the beginning, because of this and that regulation, coupled with the fact that Chinese food did not meet the taste of Europeans and Americans, the performance in the early stage of opening can be said to be dismal.

But Chinese characteristics are really distinctive, and if you are not used to it, you can't say that she is not attractive. So at Ran Feifei's insistence, Zhou Ya's help.

First, some Chinese Americans came to eat at this restaurant, and slowly some Americans who dared to try it discovered this restaurant, and then the restaurant finally stopped losing money.

But now, as the largest branch of Yangjiayan with overseas investment, the restaurant is not making much money now. But to make ends meet, Yang Dongxu and Ran Feifei are already very satisfied, after all, it will definitely take time for people who have never eaten Chinese food to accept the taste of Chinese food.

"There aren't a lot of people now, but there are a lot of people in the morning. Recently, I've been wondering if it's possible to extend the early days, which are only sold in the morning, to all day long. Ran Feifei took Zhou Ya's arm and said to Yang Dongxu who was following as she walked forward.

Compared with the main meal in Chinese food, the main source of income of the restaurant is breakfast, which Ran Feifei doesn't know whether to cry or laugh, and it was really said by Yang Dongxu before, Yang Jiayan came to the United States to sell steamed buns.

Of course, morning breakfast is definitely not only about selling steamed buns, after finding that breakfast is more popular and more accepted by Americans. Zhi Ran Feifei transferred several beef break chefs from China.

Based on the Cantonese breakfast and combining the characteristics of breakfast all over the country, the American people opened their eyes for the first time to know that there are so many delicious things to eat in the morning in addition to coffee, hot dogs and sandwiches. In particular, some desserts are very popular.

"Don't change. Yang Dongxu pursed his lips and said a little willfully: "You have to eat it in the morning early, and if you want to eat it, you can buy it in the morning, and you won't sell it at other times." ”

Looking at Yang Dongxu's arrogant and willful look, Zhou Ya and Ran Feifei smiled and didn't speak. If it is for the sake of restaurant income, it must be changed, after all, in the face of a profitable business, no boss is stupid not to do it.

However, Yang's family banquet in New York is obviously not just to make money, so Ran Feifei will not insist on anything about Yang Dongxu's willfulness. Even when combined with the fact that Americans rush to work in the morning, it is indeed more profitable to change it, for example, to put it at dinner time.

The restaurant on the first floor is large, but there are not many seats, compared to the slightly crowded tables and chairs in the domestic restaurant. The Yang family banquet in front of you can be visited as a scenic spot.

First of all, after entering the hall, the middle almost occupies the general area of the first floor of the feng shui pool, and in the center of the pool is a huge Shoushan stone, which is specially airlifted from China.

Surrounded by carved railings and jade masonry all kinds of carvings and full of ancient style buildings, such as the vivid plank road, octagonal pavilion and so on condensed several famous domestic scenic spots, the sound of gurgling water flows down from the highest place of Shoushan stone, the koi fish swim in the feng shui pool, with the greening and bonsai that have worked hard all around.

Stepping into the restaurant, people have a sense of isolation from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis and the antique Chinese nature in an instant. When the restaurant first opened, because of this feng shui pool, a large number of customers poured in to take pictures but did not eat, which made Ran Feifei almost charge tickets.

But you have to say that good things are good things, the quintessence left by our ancestors, even if it is placed in the United States, which does not have any Chinese cultural heritage.

In the face of this kind of art, everyone can't help but be a little surprised, and they can also get the charm of Chinese civilization. For example, people who were originally tired and irritable will instantly feel the tranquility of walking into nature after stepping into the restaurant.

This seems to be the same as the familiar feeling of sitting in a café and watching the sunset enjoy the quiet, but it feels different. Therefore, the restaurant on the first floor is often reserved for dinner, but as if sitting in a café.

But for some foreign guests, there is no coffee in the restaurant, and the main drink is tea. Even though Ran Feifei invited a few good tea masters from China, some guests were still very unaccustomed to the difference in taste, so they prepared juice in addition to tea.

For a lot of guests suggested coffee, or cola or something. Ran Feifei humbly accepted it, but there was no intention of adding these things to the drink.

"The sound of flowing water should be lowered a little, right?" Yang Dongxu said, looking at the gurgling water on the Shoushan Stone.

In fact, the sound of running water is not very big, and a lot of money was spent on soundproofing when decorating the interior, even if the first floor is a hall, the interval between tables and tables is semi-open, and the sound of water will be much smaller after it passes.

"Okay?" Ran Feifei nodded and looked at Yang Dongxu.

"How about occasionally adjusting the sound of the water a little lower, and then setting up a platform here, where a little girl in Hanfu can play the guzheng pipa, or play the flute or something?" Yang Dongxu stretched out his hand and gestured next to the feng shui pool.

"Very good proposal, I thought so when a guest proposed to put a piano in the hall before, but I was a little busy lately, and the guzheng guqin and flute or something must be invited from China and it is a big expense. ”

Although she understands Yang Dongxu's meaning for promoting Chinese culture, Ran Feifei does not plan to use this restaurant to make money, but as a qualified manager, she will not throw money into it regardless of the cost.

"You don't have to perform every day, just once in a while. Haina has a branch in the United States, and is also doing a certain amount of promotion of Chinese folk musical instruments, I say hello to Haina, and occasionally let someone over there come over to perform, and you will reimburse people for air tickets and appearance fees. This is much more convenient than inviting someone from China to come and perform. ”

"Okay, I'll ask someone to clean up the side and buy some musical instruments from China. It's easy to say about the flute or something, the guzheng and guqin are so big that it's too troublesome for people to carry them back and forth. Ran Feifei nodded and added.

Yang Dongxu gave a thumbs up and praised his aunt's thoughtful consideration.

The landscape on the first floor, the eight major cuisines from the second floor to the third floor, and the VIP boxes on the fourth and fifth floors. In addition, the waiters dress up in different ethnic costumes every day, and do not look at the guests in suits and leather shoes or various colors, but look at these waiters and the antique decorations around them, which makes it easy for people to feel whether they have stepped into a certain period of ancient history of Chinese civilization.

It's a bit of a pity that Americans don't like to be noisy when they dine, and they want to go back to the bar and drink instead of punching at the table, otherwise it's good to get some drama and listen to it.

"Occasionally, you can put on some art shows at the door, and you can use it as a promotion for the restaurant. These people don't need to be invited from China, there are actually many traditional ethnic artists in Chinatown. I went to some of the associations in Chinatown and I think they would be more than willing to do these things. ”

"It's already being done. Ran Feifei said with a smile.

Some people say that one Chinese is a dragon and three Chinese are worms, and they think that Chinese people like infighting. But when you really go abroad, you will find that in fact, many Chinese people are still very united, and Chinatown is not built because too many Chinese live, nor can it be done by one person, this is the result of group cooperation.

Dragon and lion dances during festivals, celebrations when shops open, and sometimes Chinese people in Chinatowns attach more importance to the things handed down by their ancestors than in China.
