Huang Gang is still very trustworthy, and after agreeing to Zhang Tong's request, he really helped him build a 180-square-meter house in Hive City, and by the way, he got a 500-square-meter storefront along the street. Of course, there are conditions, for example, Zhang Tong wants to help shoot more hive promotional videos or something.

Promote Hive City Good, Hive City Stick and the like.

Because Lao Zhang's image and temperament are good, he is very photogenic. Especially when he is a handsome guy of the traditional old-school who is rare in today's society, he looks like a great and upright. And his temperament is also a kind of great light and positive atmosphere that exudes from the inside out. This is really suitable for official publicity.

It's easy to find a beautiful guy now, but it's hard to find a traditional handsome guy. I don't know if it's a change in social aesthetics, which has caused the appearance of handsome guys to change with everyone's aesthetics, whether it is subjective or objective, there are more and more feminine male beauties.

In Chinese aesthetics, the aesthetic proportion of masculinity and healthy beauty is decreasing. When I finally got out of the tendon meat, the girl would say: Wow, it's disgusting. Of course, many men also can't appreciate women who have a pronounced sense of muscle. On the contrary, the era of beautiful men and thighs in the Korean Wave is more in line with the aesthetics of today's young generation in China.

Zhang Tong has become a rare breed. After Zhang Tong's promotional video was broadcast, in fact, the crew from Hengdian came over and asked Zhang Tong if he was interested in filming. Because his image and temperament are particularly suitable for playing various leadership roles in the play. When you stand there, you look like a leader. This kind of special actor is actually quite lacking in Hengdian.

However, Lao Zhang is very reluctant to act or something, because he feels that he can't act at all, and he is such a sincere person, he really can't pretend to be someone else.

So it's better to open a small shop and do business with peace of mind.

The house on this side of the hive is good, it has been renovated basically, if you don't plan to decorate luxuriously, in fact, this house is not bad now. As soon as Zhang Tong and Jiang Hua put it together, they didn't want to decorate, just buy some furniture and move in.

And the store is completely rough, which requires complete decoration. Especially the 500-square-meter hot pot restaurant, which requires a lot of money to decorate. Wang Qian wants to open a high-end hot pot restaurant. Let Wang Qian come out of this money, Zhang Tong called Wang Qian, saying that he helped Wang Qian get a big store in the hive, and he also got a big house. This incident shocked Wang Qian and his wife. I didn't expect Zhang Tong to be so neat and straightforward, and directly fulfilled the requirements of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Of course, the hot pot restaurant has to open. But Zhang Tong's small shop doesn't plan to give up. Helping the hot pot restaurant manage is for Jiang Hua. And opening a small shop by himself is to entertain himself, and by the way, cultivate Xiao Xiao.

So in the store of a 500-square-meter hot pot restaurant, Zhang Tong cut out an area of 60 square meters to open his own small shop. And the decoration is also simple, find an engineering team to do an industrial style decoration. The price is cheap, the project is fast, and it seems to be particularly stylish.

So when Lin Miao's family pushed the door open and came in, Lin Miao, who didn't want to eat in a small restaurant, was a little frightened. The pure industrial style decoration style is still very tasteful. Self-leveling cement floors made of high-mesh cement, gray-white and black walls, and a large number of exposed pipelines are painted black with waterproof paint. The ceiling is made of large blocks of chrome-plated metal grid, and the walls are decorated with large industrial styles. At least judging from the decoration, Lin Miao feels that this should not be the kind of fly restaurant that is very bad on the side of the road.

"The menu is on the menu. Zhang Tong said to Lin Miao's family. Today, he is the only one in the small shop and Huo Zheng who is cutting in the back kitchen. Xiao Hei and Xiao Xiao are no longer there, because the two of them are not qualified to apply for housing in the form of rent-to-purchase. They can only rent a house on the Hive. So look at the house first and find a suitable place to rent.

Zhang Tong wondered if he should simply let Xiao Xiao declare her abilities. Of course, you can't declare an ability that can burst, just declare an ability that can be eaten. The name Zhang Tong has thought of it, and Xiao Xiao's ability is called [Eat more and more], so that he is qualified to apply for a house to rent and purchase in the hive. Otherwise, there would be no such shop in this village. If you want to buy a house in the future, it will definitely be expensive.

Although Zhang Tong doesn't want to admit it, he is actually a person who has done a good job on the surface. The same goes for his small shop.

The recipes for today's dishes written in white chalk on the blackboard will not change from the three things in Zhang Tong's shop, which are the noodles composed of various toppings.

And in addition to noodles, what he does every day is completely following Zhang Tong's heart.

"Braised fish pieces, home-style tofu, Dongpo meat, sweet and sour tenderloin. Lin Miao read out all the four dishes that could be provided on the menu.

It seems a bit too little for the average small restaurant to only provide 4 dishes, but for Zhang Tong, it is already a lot.

If he didn't usually want to prepare so many ingredients and cook so many dishes. Usually, he usually prepares 1~2 dishes that are enough.

And the reason why he prepared four different dishes today was entirely because he had a person in the back kitchen who temporarily helped him cook, that is, Huo Zheng, who was brought back from Shuangqing.

He has returned from a world similar to that of the Little Master. In Shuangqing, he couldn't open a store. He was not allowed to cook in the back kitchen. But in Hive City, this rule can be forgotten.

Taking advantage of the renovation of the store, Zhang Tong took Huo Zheng to find the relevant departments to apply, and after repeatedly confirming that Huo Zheng's cooking would not affect people, the health department approved that he could cook in the back kitchen. He was given a qualification certificate related to the catering industry.

The moment he got the qualification certificate, Huo Zheng almost cried. After coming back for so long, I can finally use my skills. He believes that with his cooking skills, he will be able to establish a world in Hive City.

Huo Zheng can cook, so he will stay in Lao Zhang's shop to help out for the time being. However, his uncle had already discussed with Jiang Hua's parents, and when Jiang Hua's hot pot restaurant officially opened, he would let Huo Zheng go there to be a chef.

Zhang Tong is responsible for the administration and menu development of the entire hot pot restaurant. To use a more foreign term to describe his position, that is executive chef.

Lin Miao looked at the dishes that Zhang Tong's shop could provide and drooled secretly. Because this little girl is actually a carnivore, and every meal is not happy without meat.

However, her mother Wang Yan secretly frowned: "Doesn't the boss have any vegetables?"

Wang Yan, a middle-aged woman, is like most mothers in life. I hope that children can eat more vegetables and less meat. After all, in these days, it is too easy to eat meat, but it has become difficult for children to eat vegetables.

Obesity among adolescents in China, as well as excessive intake of meat, sugar and fat, have become the biggest threat to the health of adolescents in China.

"There are vegetables too. You can stir-fry greens. Zhang Tong stood in the back kitchen and said with a faint smile: "Are you also residents who just came to Hive City?"

"That's right. We live around here. It's like you're in this neighborhood for a while. "Lin Tiantong is a very talkative man. He asked Zhang Tong all kinds of questions curiously, after all, he was new to a city, although there were still relatively few people here, but it was good to ask for some information, so that he could work and live here in the future.

"Yes, the city is still relatively small at the moment, and there are thousands of employees in various government agencies, plus thousands of residents. There are only about 10,000 people living here. The first phase of the city will be open to accommodate 300,000 people, so it will be very empty. There are not many stores at the moment. ”

"By the way, you want to eat something. Zhang Tong said hello to the family, chatting about the situation here, and asking them what they needed.

As a result, Wang Yan and Lin Tiantong did not speak, but Lin Miao spoke first: "All the dishes are wanted." ”

The little girl is not tall and has a large appetite.

Wang Yan glared at her and added, "I'm stir-frying vegetables on a plate." You can't do it if you don't eat greens. ”

Lin Tiantong continued to inquire about the news of the city from Lao Zhang: "You said that the first phase of the urban area is for 300,000 people to live in, and now there are only 10,000 people, will it be very unsafe at night?"

"Don't worry, this is probably going to be the safest area in China. I'm sure there won't be any crime here. Lao Zhang smiled faintly.

"So absolutely?"

"Yes, because the first thing to move in to this city is the police force like the special investigation department. This month, more than 1,000 investigators from the Special Investigation Bureau will move into Hive City. The ratio of personnel to police officers will be 1:10. There is one police officer for every 10 people, so is it not safe?"

There is some truth in what Zhang Tong said. After Lin Miao's family ordered the dishes, Zhang Tong greeted Huo Zheng in the back kitchen and asked him to start cooking.

However, because Huo Zheng's cooking movement is too big, the place where he cooks in the back kitchen is still closed. Although he cooks very lively, some people will like it very much, but Zhang Tong is afraid that some people will be scared by him.

"That's right, boss. You can add more to our dishes, and you can add more money later. My daughter is very good at eating. I'm afraid that I won't be able to cook enough food later. ”

Lin Tiantong suddenly added. Because he remembered the description of many people's small amount of food in Huaihai. For example, the dishes made by Huaihai people are generally only the size of a bone plate, and they may not be full.

The bowl of Huaihai people eating is also very small, and they can be eaten clean in one bite. There are also Huaihai people who eat canned dace with tempeh, and when the fish eats up the tempeh, they have to pick it out and make porridge. When the tempeh is gone, the soup is left for noodles to eat.

All these legends are spread throughout China. Among these rumors, Huaihai is a very magical place, and the people who live in Huaihai are also a group of strange people.

Zhang Tong did not refuse Lin Tiantong's request, he greeted Huo Zheng and increased the amount of his meal by 50%.

Zhang Tong looked at the family with some curiosity at this time: "Are you an Ability Awakener or a Returnee?"

"What about you, boss?"

"I'm a returnee, the kind who doesn't have much ability, so I can only open a restaurant here. ”

"My daughter is an Awakener, and we are here thanks to my daughter. ”

"And what is her ability?"

"Just eating is not fat!" Lin Miao said first, and she looked very proud.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if I eat vegetables or not. I don't get fat even if I eat three or four Dongpo elbows. More energy than my body needs will be eliminated by me. So they want to study my abilities and then develop a super diet pill or something. ”

"Listen to your nonsense. What you say is your own speculation. Wang Yan glared at Lin Miao and asked her to speak less.

Zhang Tong touched his chin, and suddenly thought of another girl who was also a girl who didn't eat fat. That girl is working for herself right now.
