Chapter 107: Preparations for the Opening of the Door
Chen Tao said solemnly: "Sister Meilian, I have memorized what you said, next time I will not spend money indiscriminately, am I also to win your favor? β
At this time, the driver Xiao Zhang called and said, "Young master, you come back, you asked the 10 people I recruited to play the guzheng to come for an interview." β
Chen Tao said: "You ask them to wait for me in the conference room of Yunding Jewelry Store first, and I will go back in a while." β
Chen Tao said to Xia Meilian: "Sister Meilian, the person we want to recruit to play the guzheng is here, you and I can go for an interview!"
Xia Meilian said happily: "Okay, let's go." β
Chen Tao drove Xia Meilian to his family's jewelry store, Yunding Jewelry Store. Xia Meilian grabbed Chen Tao and said, "Your family runs a jewelry store, why did you take me to Chow Tai Fook jewelry store to buy that ring for 2 million?"
Chen Tao smiled and said: "Chow Tai Fook is an old store with strength, and I took you there just after a batch of new goods arrived in their store." β
Xia Meilian said: "Xiao Tao, do you have the confidence to open our Yunding jewelry store into the largest jewelry store?"
Chen Tao said happily when he heard it: "Sister Meilian, you have such a big revenge, I have, with your support, we can open the largest jewelry store." β
Xia Meilian said: "Let's go to the interview first." β
Chen Tao took Xia Meilian to the conference room and saw that there were already more than 20 girls in the room who came for the interview. They are very delicate, and the clothes they wear are also very bright, Chen Tao didn't understand how to play the guzheng, so he said to Meilian: "Sister Meilian, you come to the interview." β
Xia Meilian came to the class and sat down, Xia Meilian said, "You have all learned to play the guzheng, right?"
The 22 girls in the room who came to the interview said, "We all play the guzheng. β
Xia Meilian said: "Do you have any opinion on the monthly salary of 3,000 yuan for two meals, and you can take one day off a month?"
The 22 girls who came to the interview all nodded and said, "We have no opinion." β
Xia Meilian said: "Next, each of you will come over and play a song of "Iron Blood Pill Heart" from the Legend of the Condor Heroes. β
Next, these children who came to the interview played a song "Iron Blood Pill Heart", Xia Meilian listened attentively to each girl who interviewed the zither and took a pen to make a record, when the 22 interviewers played it, Xia Meilian said to Chen Tao: "Xiaotao, what do you think of their playing?"
Chen Tao said: "I listen to it very well, I don't understand the details, or Sister Meilian, you can decide." β
Xia Meilian said: "Our Tang Mao Ramen Restaurant branch is a newly established restaurant, we need 10 waiters to play the guzheng and serve the food, you have 22 people, you are all excellent, but we don't need so many people, we can only according to your performance just now, I will leave 10 people, and the rest of you please go back, and you can still apply when we open a branch again." β
Meilian announced the 10 people who stayed behind, and told them to go home and prepare to wait for the notice, and come to work tomorrow for training. The 10 girls who were admitted were very happy and went back happily.
Meilian said: "Chen Tao, let them all wear Tang costumes when they opened, and everyone should wear a smiling cat mask. β
Chen Tao said: "No problem, these are not a problem, let's go back to our store and have a look, Xiao Zhang should have replaced the plaque." β
Mei Lian said, "Okay, I'll go with you." β
When Chen Tao and Xia Meilian came to their hotel, they saw that the gilded large-character plaque on it was written Tang Mao Ramen Restaurant, and the following was the Beijing branch, which was very atmospheric and could be seen from afar, which was very conspicuous. There are also lights on it, which are even more beautiful when the lights are turned on at night, and can also be seen at a glance by people who want to eat.
Meilian entered the house and saw that all the dining tables and chairs were replaced with new ones, and the walls and the ground were decorated, the ground with a disposable non-slip marble floor tile that could be directly pasted, and the wall was replaced with an integrated decorative background wall, which has a group of patterns that are open bottle cats to open beer to the guests, Meilian is very satisfied after seeing it, there are LCD TVs on the first and second floors, a total of 4 sets of 8 on the first floor, a partition was made at the northeast corner of the second floor, there is a guzheng inside, here is the place for the guests to talk about the guzheng, and a large oven is placed on the right side of the first floor, not to mention relying on suckling pigs or roasting adult pigs can be testedγ
Chen Tao followed up and asked, "Sister Meilian, do you see that the decoration here is okay? It doesn't cost much, so the decoration is fast, and we will be able to open immediately." β
Xia Meilian said, "Did you invite a chef?"
Chen Tao said: "I hired two chefs, one who can make Lanzhou ramen and the other who can cook Beijing court food. β
Xia Meilian said: "You still need a few male waiters, you can recruit 6 more male waiters, and if there is a takeout in the future, you can let them deliver it." β
Chen Tao said, "Okay, Sister Meilian, do you have any other instructions?"
Meilian said: "Xiaotao, you will be the owner of this shop in the future, don't be like a child anymore, okay?"
Chen Tao said: "Okay, Sister Meilian, you should be the boss, I'm afraid I won't be able to manage." And when we opened, we invited a few artists to sing and say cross talk or something. β
Meilian said: "No, when the time comes, the people from our head office will come over and we will directly start a live performance, Lin Feng parkour and nunchucks, benevolence and righteousness will perform stir-fry for everyone, calculate the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within 10, which is much better than what band you invite to turn actors." β
Chen Tao said happily: "That's great, Sister Meilian, let's go have some food, I have arranged the things you explained, we will open in 3 days, and I will print out the leaflets." β
Meilian said: "Okay, we don't have to go to a too luxurious restaurant to eat, the two of us can find a small shop and eat a bowl of ramen casually." β
Chen Tao said: "Sister Meilian, we are also the boss and the boss no matter what, so let's just eat ramen, it's too embarrassing." β
Meilian said: "Chen Tao, you used to be Young Master Kuo, but now you are not, you are my man, you have to listen to me, put down your previous Young Master Kuo." β
Chen Tao said: "Okay, Sister Meilian, I listen to you, I'll put the young master Kuo down the shelf, let's go eat ramen." β
After Chen Tao and Xia Meilian entered the store, they asked for two bowls of fried noodles and two bottles of Arctic Ocean soda, Xia Meilian took a bite and said: "Xiao Tao, I really can't get used to this fried sauce noodles, I still like to eat beef ramen." β
Chen Tao said: "Sister Meilian, I am a native of Beijing, I have eaten this fried noodles since I was a child, and Beijingers love to drink Arctic Ocean soda, which is also a sign." Let me tell you about the origin of the fried noodles. There is a saying in Beijing: "There are three sides to life, that is, washing three sides, longevity noodles, and connecting three sides." The so-called washing of three noodles means that on the third day of the child's birth, a "washing three" ceremony is held, and relatives and friends come to eat the child's noodles and wish him "a long life"; every year after that, on his birthday, he has to eat "longevity noodles" and "pick longevity", which means "longevity"; on the third day after death, relatives and friends should eat "three noodles", which means that the feelings for the deceased are continuous.
Not only these, but in daily life, Beijingers also like to eat noodles, fried noodles, lo noodles and so on. When eating jajanjangmyeon, the more common one is diced pork jajangmyeon. When eating, pay attention to eating "pot picking" hot noodles on cold days, and eat cold noodles with water on hot days, and then accompany seasonal side dishes according to the season to make "noodles". The "face code" is different in season, and each has its own exquisiteness. In early spring, bean sprouts and radish tassels are pinched and tailed, in late spring, green garlic, toon sprouts, green beans, etc., and in early summer, new garlic, cucumber shreds, lentils, leeks, etc.
Legend has it that during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, and after hitting Beijing, the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Guangxu Emperor and his entourage fled from Beijing to the South Street of Xi'an City, smelling a fragrance, and the chief manager Li Lianying looked up to see that it was a noodle restaurant, and reported to the Queen Mother and the Emperor in time. Due to the long journey, the emperor and the queen mother were also hungry and thirsty, so they decided to eat noodles first. Entering the store, Li Lianying asked the owner for the specialty fried noodles, and after everyone ate a bowl, they said, "It tastes so good, another bowl!" After eating, the Queen Mother asked her entourage: "How does this noodle taste?" Everyone said in unison: "Absolutely good noodles, good! Good!" At this time, the Empress Dowager was about to set off on the road, and the Empress Dowager instructed the chief manager Li Lianying to bring the people who made fried noodles to Beijing and bring them to the palace to make fried noodles. Since then, fried noodles have settled in Beijing. β
Meilian said: "Xiao Tao, although there are allusions, it is really not too delicious, there is no beef ramen to eat, our beef ramen is colorful noodles, nutritious and delicious, last time you went to our main store did not eat ramen, you didn't see it, this time let you taste it in your own noodle restaurant, and when Sister Qingyan comes, let Sister Qingyan train the chef you invited." β
Chen Tao said: "Our restaurant is called a ramen restaurant, and of course it is mainly ramen, and I hope that ramen will satisfy all the customers." β
Meilian said: "You've already asked people to hand out flyers saying that it will open in 3 days, right?"
Chen Tao said: "Yes, now we are almost ready, open early and make money early!"
Mei Lian said: "Okay, I'll tell Lin Feng now, let them prepare to come over a day earlier." β
Chen Tao said: "Sister Meilian, you let them all come by plane, and I will reimburse the ticket money." β
Meilian called Lin Feng's mobile phone, and Lin Feng said, "Sister Meilian, is there something wrong? How are you there?"
Meilian said: "Lin Feng, Chen Tao and I have already selected and bought the branch, and they have all been renovated, the dining tables and dining chairs have been replaced, and 10 waitresses who can play the guzheng have been recruited, as well as 6 male waiters, and two chefs have been hired, we are ready to open in 3 days, Lin Feng, you are ready to arrange the head office to come over and help us a day in advance, let me manage such a big restaurant, I am really not used to it, you come and help me." β
Lin Feng said: "Okay, Sister Meilian, you don't have to worry, we will be there the day after tomorrow." β
Chen Tao was also happy to hear that Lin Feng and they would arrive the day after tomorrow, and drank all the Arctic Ocean in one gulp, and then said: "Sister Meilian, great, Brother Lin, they will be here the day after tomorrow, I am so happy and excited." β
Mei Lian said: "Tomorrow we will arrange the affairs of the store, and I will train the 10 waitresses and 6 male waitresses. β
Chen Tao said: "I also told my father the news that Brother Lin and they were coming, so that he could get to know my father when Brother Lin came." β
Meilian said: "Xiao Tao, it is good for Lin Feng to open a jewelry store and let him get to know his uncle, are you full, if you are not full, order something else, I am full." β
Chen Tao said: "I'm also full, let's go home." β
