95. Grandpa's compliment

The largest restaurant chain in Beitong City is the famous Banban Noodle Restaurant.

Beitong people love to eat noodles, especially love to eat knife-cut noodles, a qualified Beitong people, should be the kind of person who eats knife-cut noodles three times a day and will not get tired of eating for a year. Zhou Fangyuan's father is a qualified Beitong person, and Zhou Fangyuan's tastes are more mixed, anyway, if he is allowed to eat noodles three times a day, he will definitely not be able to stand it.

And the one that was originally ranked second, second only to the plate and plate noodles, is the second sister-in-law jelly mentioned before. As far as Zhou Fangyuan currently knows, the second sister-in-law has a total of seven stores on the ground of Beitong, most of these branches are opened by relatives and friends of the "second sister-in-law", and the store she is in charge of is only the main store not far away.

However, now the second sister-in-law's name of Beitong has changed hands, and Jin Polo has added seven new branches overnight, although all of these branches have just begun to be renovated, but it has to be said that such a large-scale expansion has suddenly made Jin Polo a star enterprise in Beitong.

Trendy Western-style fast food, a hot sales scene, and a terrible expansion rate...... A reporter from Beitong TV showed up outside the door of the fast-food restaurant on the fifteenth day after it opened. Because he had been notified in advance, Dad Zhou directly put on his most beautiful suit. In fact, according to Zhou Fangyuan's idea, wouldn't it be good for my father to go directly to buy a new dress? His so-called best suit is actually more than ten years old, and the style is already a little old.

Facing the camera, it can be seen that Dad Zhou is very nervous. His voice trembled a little, but fortunately, the reporter had already explained the questions he wanted to ask to Zhou's father, and he had already prepared in advance. Finally, there were no major mistakes, and in the midst of stumbling, the interview was successfully completed.

Then the reporter interviewed a few passers-by, in fact, most of these passers-by were also arranged in advance. Even before Zhou Fangyuan was reborn, the vast majority of ordinary people would instinctively dodge when facing the end, and there were really too few people who could stand in front of the camera and talk eloquently, especially in this era.

As for the visits, there are just a few questions, such as "What do you think of the taste?", "What do you think the price is?", "Would you like to come here often?", etc., all of which can be answered without much brainstorming.

Everyone's answers were also very good, asking how it tasted, most people would say it tasted good, and when asked if they would like to come and consume it often, nine out of ten answers were "yes". When asked how they felt the price, most of them said that the price was a bit high, and although they could afford it, they couldn't just eat it as casually as they ate shaved noodles or tofu brain fritters.

And about this issue, I also mentioned it in a separate interview with Zhou's father before.

"Our ingredients are guaranteed to be the freshest, which you may not know. Our bread is made from the best flour available on the market, and the butter is also the best butter, as well as yeast and eggs, which are also the best and most expensive. We also buy oil directly from the supermarket in large quantities, and these things are proved by the manifest.

We source all the chicken from the meat factory, which is more expensive than the market price, but it is also more reassuring. Mr. Tian also assured us that he would provide us with the cleanest and most hygienic chicken.

Lettuce and potatoes, although we buy them directly from the market, I can say very responsibly that I personally purchased these things and stared at each other.

The cost is high, and the selling price is naturally high.

But what I want to say is that I am a catering, and what I make is to be eaten by the people, so safety is the most important thing. If I use ordinary, or even not fresh enough, ingredients to save money, I can make more money that way, but it's also more dangerous. Just one customer who spoils his stomach in my store can cost me a hundred mature customers. If 100 customers eat bad stomach at my store, not only will I not be able to open the store, but I will also be in danger of violating the food safety law myself.

Someone once persuaded me that catering is the most conscientious cause, because the products we produce are directly related to the daily life and physical safety of the people, and we can't leave the people's food safety problems behind because of our own selfish desires. I take this very seriously, and I keep reminding myself not to forget it. ”

On TV, the cut picture eliminated all of Zhou's father's uneasy performances. Dad Zhou in the TV looks very confident, with a calm temperament and an atmospheric conversation, and the aura of a mature businessman almost hits the faces of all the people watching TV through the TV screen.

Bang Bang Bang ......

There was a flurry of applause in the box.

Zhou Fangyuan's grandfather sat on the main seat, looking at the picture on the TV, and nodded with satisfaction.

"That's right, the founding of the country should be like this, whether it is a person or a worker, we must do it with a conscience. Only in this way can your career become bigger and stronger, and this time, you made me impressed with you. ”

Today is the day to invite the grandfather's family out for dinner, because of the poor hospitality, the relatives on the grandfather's side and grandpa's family all left early on the opening day. I didn't go to the hotel I had booked, but I just brought some burgers and fried chicken back.

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother have always been very concerned about this matter, so now that they are a little free, they immediately invite Zhou Fangyuan's relatives from Grandpa Zhou's side to come over for dinner. The venue for the dinner is Yongtong Hotel, which is also a very famous hotel in Beitong. Although it is not the best, the food here is the best and most affordable of all the high-end hotels in Beitong. Although the price is expensive, the amount given is huge.

If you want to save face, of course it's better to go to other hotels. But if you're looking for an affordable meal, this is definitely the place to go.

There are many relatives on Grandpa's side, and Zhou's father has four brothers and sisters.

Zhou Fangyuan's second uncle Zhou Jianjun, second aunt Guo Minyu, aunt Zhou Jianmin, uncle Yu Youliang, and uncle Zhou Jianmin and aunt Wan Aihua. plus Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, as well as grandparents, Zhou Fangyuan's elders alone add up to a full ten people. Counting last week Fangyuan and Zhou Fanghui, they can just fill a table. However, Zhou Fangyuan remembered very well that at most next year, the daughter of his aunt's family would be born, and the younger sister of the uncle's family would also be born in the same year, and then the second daughter of the second uncle's family would also land.

In short, in a year and a half at most, in less than two years, there will be new members of the Sanmin family in this big family.

But this is nothing, in fact, the scale of the Zhou family is much larger than this, Zhou Fangyuan's grandfather is the second, there is an elder brother above, three sisters and four younger brothers below, and all of them are alive, they are all Zhou Fangyuan's grandfather and aunt, and then their children and grandchildren or something. In general, when it comes to the day of going to the grave and sweeping the grave, most of the members of this big family will gather together, and there will be more than 100 people, which is quite large.

However, those family members have nothing to do with Zhou Fangyuan, at best, he can still remember the eldest grandfather, third grandfather, little grandfather, aunt and grandmother, etc., as for their children, that is, Zhou's father's older brothers and sisters and younger siblings, they can't see each other once a year, and Zhou Fangyuan can remember that there is a ghost.

Further down to Zhou Fangyuan's generation, it is even more amazing, many of Zhou Fangyuan's cousins, he has not seen each other once in several years, and the same is true for the other party. They may have met each other on the street, and they may not have thought that this is their own relative.

Therefore, although these so-called relatives live closely, they are no different from distant relatives, after all, the two sides rarely have contact. So this time Zhou's father showed his face, as a celebration banquet, he just invited all his family members over, and those relatives who Zhou Fangyuan didn't recognize at all were not among the invitees.

Well, the gossip is out of the way.

At the banquet, looking at the interview screen on the TV, the old man praised his eldest son very rarely.

"Dad, in fact, this is also the credit of Meiyun and Yangyang, if they didn't help me come up with such a big set, I wouldn't be able to say your son at once. ”

Meiyun is Zhou's mother's name, her surname is Wang, and her full name is Wang Meiyun.

"I know, you dropped out of junior high school, can you still have this kind of eagerness?"

The old man took a sip of wine and glanced at his eldest son, "Jianguo, what you impressed me with you was the confident feeling when you faced the camera. You, from childhood to adulthood, you can do everything well, just two points, one is that you can't study, and the other is that your temperament is too boring. If you just want to keep this home for the rest of your life, it's a good thing that you're a little bored. But if you want to do business now, if you want to be aggressive in this society, you have to make a change. You have made me see your change today, so I am very grateful. ”

"Okay, let's say a few words. ”

Zhou Fangyuan's grandmother patted the old man next to him.

The old man has this hobby, he likes to preach when he drinks, sometimes it is really beneficial, but sometimes the words he says are too ugly, very hurtful, and he can always choke people speechless for a long time. Fortunately, today, the old man was praising Dad Zhou more, so although his tone was a little blunt, he heard more words than before.

With grandma's interruption, grandpa finally didn't say anything more, and he, as the head of the family, took the lead in moving the first chopsticks. This was a signal, as soon as he moved his chopsticks, the others immediately followed, and then three or five glasses of wine were down, and the atmosphere in the box suddenly became much better.

But the Zhou family in the box was happy, but some people were unhappy.

In a disco in Beitong City, in a pitch-black box, wine bottles slammed into the wall, instantly exploding into glass slag all over the floor.
