Chapter 45: Matters in the Restaurant
At the beginning of the new week, Xia Su arranged for Geng Zhiyuan and Wang Qiang to participate in the design of the urea plant with Ye Shoufeng.
Ye Shoufeng, as the person in charge of the profession and the person in charge of the main project, is responsible for proposing a condition and completing the main design documents such as flow charts, equipment layout drawings and equipment tables. Geng Zhiyuan and Wang Qiang helped complete the piping diagram and civil engineering secondary conditions.
The main urea unit is a 30-meter-high six-story frame structure, with high-pressure pumps in and out of the synthesis tower on the ground floor, and Ye Shoufeng is responsible for the piping on the first and second floors. Geng Zhiyuan was divided into three or four floors. Wang Qiang is responsible for the fifth to sixth layer piping.
The 130,000-ton urea plant adopts the aqueous solution full cycle process, which is a mature universal design in China, although there are local improvements, but the overall change is not large. Therefore, Ye Shoufeng asked Geng Zhiyuan and Wang Qiang to draw the drawings of the Jixian urea project to the computer, and then he corrected them uniformly.
The urea drawings of Jixian County are still drawn by hand, and Geng Zhiyuan and Wang Qiang are actually equivalent to using CAD drawings according to the blueprints, so although the workload is relatively large, it is still progressing rapidly. In mid-April, when the two of them had almost finished drawing the piping diagram, Ye Shoufeng took the two of them to design pipe materials one pipe after another.
The operating pressure of the high-pressure part of the urea process of the full cycle method of aqueous solution is 20MPa (G), and the ordinary steel pipe standard cannot be used, and the H standard high-pressure pipeline material formulated according to the standard of the former Soviet Union is used.
The H standard includes a series of pipe parts such as pipes, elbows, tees, flanges and lens pads, and to Geng Zhiyuan's surprise, the high-pressure flange connection method of the H standard is not welding, but an incredible threaded connection. He was amazed to know that normal threaded flanges are only used on low-pressure water pipes, and high-pressure pipes that withstand hundreds of kilograms of pressure are actually threaded flanges.
The gaskets in the H standard are not non-metallic gaskets or metal-wound gaskets of medium and low pressure, but lens gaskets made of all-metal, and some lens gaskets also have single or double outlets to connect instruments and small-diameter pipes.
After a few pipes dried up, Geng Zhiyuan and Wang Qiang quickly mastered the use of H standard, and the follow-up pipeline material statistics were faster. The progress of the urea project is urgent, and I forget the time when I am busy without white or black. After separating from his girlfriend last time, Geng Zhiyuan has not seen Wei Xiao for nearly three weeks. Lovesickness was incomprehensible, and Wei Xiao rushed to the provincial capital to visit her boyfriend again on the weekend.
At about six o'clock on Friday night, after Geng Zhiyuan picked up Wei Xiao at the train station, a pair of lovers who had not seen each other for more than 20 days immediately held hands and held each other tightly. In public, Wei Xiao was embarrassed to throw herself into her boyfriend's arms, and could only stare at her sweetheart with a pair of shining eyes.
Geng Zhiyuan was also excited, and he couldn't wait to hug his girlfriend and kiss him fiercely, but unfortunately the environment did not allow it, so he could only return with an eager gaze.
After getting on the bus and sitting together, Wei Xiao leaned on her boyfriend's shoulder and asked, "Go to your unit or go directly to the hotel?"
"I don't go to my unit or to the hotel. Geng Zhiyuan looked at his girlfriend's delicate face and said gently: "Today Pang Dong has a treat, let's go to Qinhuai Restaurant, they are already waiting for us there." ”
"Who is Pang Dong?" finally saw her boyfriend, Wei Xiao just wanted to be alone with him, and didn't want to see other strangers, and was a little angry when she heard him arrange it like this.
Geng Zhiyuan hurriedly explained: "The colleague who entered the hospital with me for a year is also a good buddy. We have something to discuss tonight, so let's get together for dinner. ”
"Why can't you wait until you get to work?" Wei Xiao pouted dissatisfied.
Geng Zhiyuan noticed that his girlfriend was in a mood, and leaned into her ear and whispered: "He wants to open a restaurant with me and another guy, so we have to meet tonight to discuss." ”
"Open a restaurant?" Wei Xiao frowned and said, "How much do you have to invest?"
"I don't know, so let's talk about it. Geng Zhiyuan comforted: "This money is an investment, and it will be beneficial to invest it, and the interest rate is much higher than that of depositing in the bank." ”
"Opening a restaurant is not an easy task, it is very troublesome, and you may lose money. We still have to buy a house, and you have to think about how to spend the money on hand. Wei Xiao held back his breath.
"Don't worry!" Geng Zhiyuan put his arm around her shoulder and said comfortingly: "I will do what I can, if I make money, can't we buy a bigger house?"
"Well, okay then. Although reluctant, Wei Xiao was not stupid enough to discourage her boyfriend's enthusiasm for starting a business. Anyway, her heart already belongs to this man, as long as her sweetheart is happy, she has nothing to complain about when she buys a house later.
In addition to inviting Geng Zhiyuan tonight, Pang Dong also called Yu Qinghe. During Geng Zhiyuan's on-site service for more than half a year, Pang Dong and Yu Qinghe had a close relationship, and the relationship was no worse than that between him and Geng Zhiyuan, so Yu Qinghe was also invited to join in.
When Geng Zhiyuan took Wei Xiao to Qinhuai Restaurant, Pang Dong and his girlfriend Wang Jin and Yu Qinghe had been waiting for a long time. After seeing Wei Xiao, Pang Dong and the others were secretly surprised by her stunning appearance. Pang Dongxin said: "Lao Geng's girlfriend, the real person is more beautiful than the photo, and the flight attendant classmate who is looking for me is much better, this guy is not shallow!"
Wang Jin was born petite and exquisite, and his appearance was much worse than Wei Xiao. With short ear-length hair, she is refreshing and spicy, and she looks like a tomboy, and she is very husband and wife with Pang Dong.
Wang Jin, who was familiar with each other, soon became friends with Wei Xiao, the two women got to the side and chatted non-stop, and Geng Zhiyuan and the other three took the opportunity to discuss business.
"Lao Geng, Lao Yu, that's what I think......" Pang Dong said straight to the point: "The three of us partnered to open a store with 100,000 shares, what do you think?"
"One hundred thousand!?" Geng Zhiyuan glanced at Yu Qinghe and nodded, "I don't have any problems." ”
"I'm okay too. Yu Qing said: "How can I divide 100,000?
The proportion of shares involves capital contribution and income, and is also related to the right to speak in the future. Pang Dong's eyes rolled and said, "Let's talk about everyone's maximum ability first, I can give up to 50,000." ”
Geng Zhiyuan pondered slightly, gritted his teeth and said, "I can take out 30,000 at most." ”
"Then I'll give 20,000. Yu Qinghe said.
"Then we're decided. Pang Dong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he came, Wang Jin kept reminding him that he must be a major shareholder, otherwise it will be troublesome if he doesn't say it in the future. So Pang Dong opened his mouth and took half of the shares first, and the other two guys couldn't surpass him no matter how much they did.
"We've decided on the shares, and then we'll decide on the name of the store. Pang Dong said: "Let's set a few more, in case there is a duplicate name when the industry and commerce is registered, we can change it." ”
"We are a partnership of three people, Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan were three righteous back then, how about we name Taoyuan?" Geng Zhiyuan said slowly.
"Taoyuan!?" Pang Dong and Yu Qinghe clapped their hands and said, "Okay!
Pang Dong smiled: "I'm the youngest, then I'm Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide!"
Yu Qinghe is 75 years old, and he knows that he is younger than Geng Zhiyuan, so he made a gesture of brushing his beard and said: "I am younger than Lao Geng, then I will be Guan Yu Guan Yunchang." ”
Geng Zhiyuan saw that the two of them were playful, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and think of a few more names, don't Guan Yu Zhang Fei, you can't solve the problem." ”
Pang Dong saw him straighten his face, spread his hands and said: "Lao Geng is too serious, just make a joke and have fun." We both treat you as a big brother, why don't you just take a little brother?"
"I think of a name. Yu Qinghe suddenly said excitedly: "Let's call Sanyi, how about it?"
Geng Zhiyuan pondered: "It's not good. The three meanings are homophonic and scattered, and they are unlucky. If three people are many, how about calling them righteous?"
"Zhongyi!?" Pang Dong and Yu Qinghe looked at each other, and the two of them gave a thumbs up and said: "Lao Geng, you are still educated, and you say it one by one." We're both convinced of you. ”
Tentatively deciding on the name of the restaurant, the three of them then discussed the dining features. Pang Dong said: "Of the eight major cuisines, do we focus on Sichuan, Shandong, Hunan, and Cantonese cuisines?"
"I've been wondering what would be the best fit for us. Geng Zhiyuan groaned: "My cousin runs a Lu restaurant, according to him, the quality of the restaurant mainly lies in the chef, because the dishes ordered by customers are made by the chef, and the chef's skill is the core competitiveness of the restaurant." ”
"Yes! You're right. Pang Dong and Yu Qinghe didn't have an in-depth understanding of the catering industry, and they didn't know much about the Taoism inside.
"We can't afford to hire a famous chef at this cost, and we are entering the catering industry for the first time, so if we want to do a good job without losing money, I am afraid we can't take the path of the eight major cuisines. Geng Zhiyuan shook his head slowly.
Pang Dong frowned and said, "Then what kind of dish are we focusing on?"
"Or ...... Let's make a barbecue?" Yu Qinghe suggested: "The barbecue technology is low, so it won't let the chefs hold us." ”
Geng Zhiyuan smiled: "Barbecue is a good idea, but what about winter? ”
"It's also ......" Yu Qinghe thought about this reason, and was suddenly a little discouraged.
"The barbecue we did was able to do. Geng Zhiyuan patted the table and said, "We focus on barbecue in summer and hot pot in winter." ”
"Hot pot!?" Pang Dong frowned and said: "We have a lot of hot pot restaurants here, and we want to attract customers to be distinctive, otherwise people won't come." ”
"Yes, we have characteristics!" Geng Zhiyuan said hesitantly: "I discussed with my brother during the Chinese New Year that his girlfriend's family is a chain hot pot restaurant in Chongqing, and he can supply our special Yuxiang pot base." Let's focus on Yuxiang special hot pot. ”
"That's a good idea!" Pang Dong and Yu Qinghe nodded again and again, and Wang Jin suddenly said on the side: "According to what Brother Geng said, why don't we call Yuxiang Restaurant directly?"
"Good idea!" Geng Zhiyuan stretched out his thumb and praised: "Sister Wang Jin is really a virtuous helper!"
Wang Jin's face was flushed with praise, and he hugged Wei Xiao's arm and said, "Sister, you see that Brother Geng is really good at complimenting." ”
Wei Xiao glared at Geng Zhiyuan and said with a smile: "He likes to flatter girls." ”
Unexpectedly, Wei Xiao even ate Wang Jin's vinegar, Geng Zhiyuan quickly withdrew his eyes, and remained silent. Yu Qinghe tilted his head and suddenly said, "It seems that there is a restaurant called Yuxiang?"
Pang Dong nodded and said, "I also have a little impression, this name seems to already exist." ”
Geng Zhiyuan sneered: "Then let's call it Yuxiang, if it doesn't work, we will call it Yuxiang, or Xiangyu, Sichuanxiangyu, some of them can be called this kind of name." ”
"Oh! Lao Geng, you are such a genius!" Pang Dong, Yu Qinghe, and Wang Jin admired the five-body throw, when it comes to cultural heritage, Geng Zhiyuan is much stronger than the three of them.
After the meal came up, several people chatted while eating, and decided on the location and recruitment. The three agreed that Pang Dong would come forward to handle the formalities such as industrial and commercial registration, and the specific operation of the restaurant would be in charge of Wang Jin, who was still unemployed, and she would serve as the manager of the restaurant.
Everything was decided, and several people had a good meal before they said goodbye and left.
