Chapter 1002 See 'The National Teacher'
Night fell, and the red-faced Maserati sports car parked at the door of the Yang Family Banquet. Yang Dongxu, who got out of the car, couldn't help scratching his head when he looked at his sports car.
I think he liked the first sports car in his life in front of him very much, and he felt all kinds of face when he drove on Chang'an Avenue. But when I drove such a sports car on the street again after many years, I always felt a sullen feeling.
"Maybe it's because the mentality of being a father is more mature. Yang Dongxu couldn't help muttering in his heart, and then gave the car key in his hand to the little brother who parked at Yang Jiayan's side.
At this time, the night had just fallen and the lanterns were on, but there were already a lot of cars parked in the parking lot at the entrance of Yang's family banquet, and more than seventy percent of them were luxury cars.
With the continuous development of the domestic economy, in fact, the catering industry is also developing rapidly, especially in an international metropolis like Yanjing.
Therefore, the competition in an industry like the catering industry is actually very cruel, haven't you seen that those state-owned enterprise canteens have closed down, and even Beijing hotels have started to open for business?
In this highly competitive catering industry, Yang Jiayan is definitely a unique existence. It never advertises to some old restaurants, such as Quanjude's roast duck or something, which has become known throughout the country as a must-try dish for tourists to Yanjing, but the old Yanjing people seem to be more and more resistant to the roast duck.
It's not like other new restaurants, all kinds of Western food, European and American decoration styles are full of style. From the opening to the present, Yang Jiayan has been adhering to only one decoration style - classical.
At the same time, there is only one thing that is adhered to in cooking - authenticity.
Many people know that after Chinese food arrives in foreign countries, they have to make some changes according to the tastes of foreigners in order to open up their own restaurant business.
Even in Japan, many restaurants are slightly modified according to the tastes of the locals due to the surprise of the northern and southern regions. But Yang Jiayan never made these changes, neither at home nor abroad.
Yang Jiayan said that he made Sichuan cuisine, which is definitely the most authentic Sichuan cuisine and never comes with a little discount. said that it is Cantonese cuisine, it is definitely Cantonese cuisine, even if it does not meet the taste of Yanjing people in Yanjing, it can only entertain some guests from the south, and it will never change.
In short, if you want to eat hometown food, then it is right to come to Yang's family banquet, it is definitely an authentic hometown taste, not a pseudo-hometown food.
Such a restaurant seems to many peers to be looking for their own death, if it weren't for the palace dishes that were already famous, maybe the Yang family banquet would have been cold a long time ago.
After all, you are in the north, a large group of customers like to eat steamed buns, you prefer to sell pastries, and how can those greasy and hairy southern pastries have a business?
What makes these people who want to see jokes fall through their glasses is that Yang Jiayan obviously doesn't look for something like this, but the business is not good.
If outsiders come to Yanjing to work and want to eat a bite of hometown food and ask a friend to make it more low-key, at least eight out of ten people recommend Yang's family banquet.
However, a slight difference from the unified recommendation of the signboard of 'Yang Family Banquet' is that they may add a few words in front of it. For example, if you want to eat authentic Hui cuisine, then going to Wangfujing Yang's family banquet is the first choice.
It is said that the big boss of Yangjiayan is from Anhui Province, so Yangjiayan in Wangfujing, as the first head office, in addition to the signature palace dishes, Hui cuisine is the most authentic, and it can definitely make you eat the taste of your hometown.
If you want to eat Cantonese food, the Yang family banquet over there at the front door is the first choice, and the Yang family banquet on the West Third Ring Road of Sichuan cuisine has always had a good reputation.
In short, if you want to eat hometown food in Yanjing, just look for Yang Jiayan directly, as long as you don't go to the wrong place of Yangjiayan's branch, you can definitely find a taste that satisfies you.
And seeing that the Yang family banquet is so successful, it's not that no one imitates it. But all these imitations have failed, one is a restaurant that wants to include all the cuisines, and after a period of operation, not only the kitchen expenditure has skyrocketed, but it is also easy to play a four-like.
Even if there is capital to catch up with the scale of the Yang's family banquet in Yanjing, it can't catch up with the scale of the national Yang's family banquet. You must know that in order to ensure that the dishes made by his master are absolutely authentic, the chef in the back kitchen is transferred every three years.
For example, the chef who cooks Hui cuisine, because he has worked in Yanjing for a long time all the year round, will obviously have some subtle influence on cooking. In order to avoid these influences, the Hui cuisine chef will work in Yanjing for three years, and then transfer back to Yangjiayan in Anhui Province, and then transfer a Hui cuisine chef from Anhui Province to take over.
In this way, the taste of Yang's family banquet dishes is kept at a high level of authenticity, and you eat roasted whole sheep at the Inner Mongolia flavor Yang's family banquet, and what you eat is absolutely the same as the roasted whole sheep on the grassland, and there will be no difference at all, whether it is sheep, ingredients, or the chef is absolutely authentic from Inner Mongolia.
Therefore, the authentic flavor that was not favored and did not know how to be flexible at all, instead of dragging the retreat of the Yang Family Banquet, it became the signboard of the Yang Family Banquet.
Especially as the development of Yanjing becomes more and more international, more and more people from other places come to Yanjing for development. Many low-key flavors of the Yang family banquet business have been very good since the opening of the store. Although the price is very expensive, some ordinary salaried people go once a month, and with such a large base guarantee, the Yang family banquet still makes the business prosperous.
The Yang family banquet that Yang Dongxu came to today is not the main store in Wangfujing, but a branch on Chang'an Street, which is open on Chang'an Street. Chang'an is now Xi'an, so the main dish is naturally Shaanxi-style specialties.
Dinner is the most difficult time to book the Yang Family Banquet, just enter the door you can feel the Yang Family Banquet business is hot, the hall is not only full of halls, but also the rest area next to the party guests.
Especially the top box upstairs, even if you book a week in advance, you may not have it. There are even a lot of real bigwigs who directly give some top boxes to the year, yes, it is not a monthly package, but a rich and capricious mess directly.
Didn't stay on the first floor, under the leadership of the waiter, went directly to the back, and then went to the attic on the second floor, every year some branches of Yangjiayan would have to choose to expand because the location was too small at that time.
Some are buying nearby land to expand, while some can't buy the land is simply very capricious and moving directly, not afraid of the loss of old customers because of the move.
When he arrived at the luxury private room, Yang Dongxu originally thought that he had arrived ten minutes early, but he didn't expect that today's guests had already arrived, and there were already three people in the private room.
Liu Zongsheng, the general manager of Haina, Zhang Weiping, the boss of the new picture, and Zhang Yimou, a well-known domestic director.
Seriously, when they heard that Haina's big boss invited them to dinner, not only Zhang Yimou, but Zhang Weiping was also very surprised. After all, since Yang Dongxu went to college in Hangzhou.
On Yanjing's side, he only left a legend, every time he returned to Yanjing, he had dinner with old friends like Li Yihang, and he had never heard of inviting others to dinner.
Many people who want to climb into Yang Dongxu's relationship and enter his circle can get in touch with Li Yihang with the effort of milk. As for the inner circle, it seems that it has not been touched since it was decided many years ago.
It's not that some people with identities and backgrounds use their brains, but even if they come into contact with Zhu Hengyi, they can even meet Lai Tianqing. But for Yang Dongxu, he is still so godlong, and he can't see the end.
So when Liu Zongsheng called Zhang Weiping to make an appointment for dinner, he specifically mentioned that it was his big boss who invited him and wanted to bring Zhang Yimou. This made Zhang Weiping very nervous at the time, thinking that Haina was beating Zhang Yimou's attention, this is his own pillar, the kind of load-bearing pillar that was dug up and the new picture was played in an instant.
But after thinking about it, I feel impossible, after all, Haina wants to dig up Zhang Yimou, so because he has direct contact with Zhang Yimou, it is impossible to notify her first, and poach people in front of him, the big boss, such a humiliation really thinks that he Zhang is a muddy person? Not to mention Haina, Zhongying doesn't dare to be so arrogant.
So after thinking about it for a while, he figured out that the other party was probably coming for the newly filmed movie "Hero", and Liu Zongsheng didn't play any tricks to hide after knocking on the side.
This made Zhang Weiping, who had never prepared funds for the film, from the original surprise to joy in an instant. If Hainer is really interested in "Hero", not to mention the remaining half of the funds, even if all the funds are Hainer, he can eat it.
"Sit, sit, don't stand, you're all big brothers in terms of age, so it's a bit of a pain in me. Yang Dongxu, who walked into the box, hurriedly pressed his hand.
He didn't have any humility for the main seat that was originally vacant, and sat directly on it, although he was young in the audience, but with his identity and capital, he had no problem sitting on the main seat at all.
"Did you order?" Yang Dongxu, who motioned for everyone to sit down, asked casually.
"Not yet, we've just arrived and we're talking about movies. Liu Zongsheng said with a smile.
"Then I'll order it, I'm not polite, I didn't order the squeak of your favorite dishes, you can't blame me for not being full. Yang Dongxu half-jokingly took the menu and asked for two palace dishes that were the main dishes of the Yang family banquet, and a few very distinctive Shaanxi dishes.
That's why I chose this Yang family banquet to invite guests, in fact, I came to Shaanxi cuisine, or Zhang Yimou. As the chief director of the future National Teacher movie, Zhang Yimou's status in his heart is even higher than Zhang Weiping.
After all, as a capital, he is better than Zhang Weiping, and he doesn't need to please anything, but the other party has to rely on him. But although he also has good results in making movies, half of the credit goes to Kaihang. And Zhang Yimou is a real national teacher who must be respected.
Zhang Yimou is a native of Xi'an, although he studied in college in Yanjing, but after graduation, he was directly assigned to Guangxi, in fact, he did not stay in Yanjing for a long time, that is, he came to Yanjing in cooperation with New Picture in the past few years.
But because of filming, he spent most of his time wandering around the country, so coming to this Yang family banquet with a very authentic Shaanxi flavor can also show Yang Dongxu's respect for this future national teacher.
