Chapter 41 Jixiang Street

Jixiang Street is a well-known food street in C City, and there are many kinds of specialty restaurants here.

The reason for all this has to be traced back to the seventies and eighties of the last century, when people just emerged from the idea of starting a business independently to make a lot of money after leaving the commune life, but because of the lack of entrepreneurial experience and the limitation of personal ability, most of the private enterprises finally failed, and among the many entrepreneurial young people in C city, there was a young man who opened a restaurant and made a lot of money, which naturally aroused the envy of everyone.

People want to be as successful as young people, but they don't know where to start, and they often ask young people for advice, but they can't find where the point is, and many people have no choice but to give up their plans to start their own businesses.

Until one day, a young man had a peculiar idea, he thought, since he can't learn any success from the old man who opened the restaurant, it is better to go straight to his path to success, that is, "I will open a restaurant too." ”

This young man dared to think and dare to do, he quickly raised funds, and opened an identical restaurant next to the original young man who opened the restaurant, it was really "exactly the same", the young man not only imitated the decoration style inside and outside the store to imitate the original person who opened the restaurant, but even the dishes, dish names, and management system of the staff were the same as him, the only difference from the original restaurant was that the young man's price was cheaper.

Because of the similarity in price, people naturally preferred to go to the cheaper one, and at first the young man's new store was not well-known enough, so he only attracted some customers. As time passed, more and more people became aware of his store's existence, and his customers grew, and the initial store had fewer and fewer customers.

The young man stole the restaurant business, and the original pioneer, the young man who first started the restaurant, was of course not reconciled, and he couldn't figure out why people imitated him to make an identical thing, but in the end they would surpass him.

At that time, there was very little talk of plagiarism, and as long as this kind of thing was related to their own interests, people would only pretend to be deaf and dumb and deliberately not talk about it.

So the original young man could not get any claims, he could only improve the conditions of the restaurant positively to "fight", and eventually he also brought back a part of the customers who were enough to maintain the operation of the restaurant.

After the success of the latecomer, that is, the imitator, the people who had not completely given up the idea of starting a business followed suit, and after they prepared the funds, they all opened restaurants on this street, but due to the limited number of customers, and they are all latecomers, the result of blind imitation is that business is bleak, and many people lose their money.

Fortunately, after a short period of defeat, some people understood that "the success of others is difficult to replicate" and began to "reform" one after another.

One of them was the first to realize the importance of uniqueness, and knew that it would be difficult to satisfy everyone with the same taste, so he paid a high price to hire a few Sichuan chefs, and then the business changed significantly.

When people heard the news, they began a new round of imitation, traveling all over China and bringing in chefs from all cuisines in China.

It is worth mentioning that in order to level the playing field, they agreed in advance that they could only hire a chef of one cuisine, and they could not be like everyone else, which was originally nothing, but from their mouths, it was undoubtedly full of ironic significance.

But the background of the times is different, and the ideas created are naturally different, and it is their thinking that conforms to the times that makes the stars of Jixiang Street bright and dazzling, and the chefs from various cuisines across the country compete for beauty, and they are very lively for a while.

Because customers have different tastes, and taste may also change with the change of thinking, that is, today I suddenly wanted to eat something spicy, so I gave up the Cantonese restaurant I frequented, and instead went to a Hunan restaurant that I had never been to before. So in the end, all the restaurants with their own characteristics continued to open, and they opened on the same street, satisfying all the needs of the citizens of City C for taste, and with the passage of time, it became a representative food street.

There are countless restaurants on one street, and the pressure of competition is so strong that every restaurant on Jixiang Street is the best of the same type, and they initially attract a large number of customers at the same price as the outside world but in other ways far beyond this price point.

After they became bigger and stronger, they discussed together to adjust the price to the level that it should be, which led to the same style, the same number of dishes, the price of restaurants on Jixiang Street is generally at least three or five percent more expensive than other areas, of course, their taste is better, and the service is more thoughtful, but the general public still can't accept it, and over time, people who come here to eat will become those who are not bad for money in their pockets.

Later, with the change of the times, Jixiang Street is also constantly changing, in order to adapt to the rich people are born with the idea of superiority, they decided to reform the restaurant to the "high-end", completely raise the price of dishes to the price that ordinary people are afraid of, and rectify the service system and store decoration style, and turn Jixiang Street into a real "high-end people" will come to consume the "high-end place".

There are all kinds of restaurants in Jixiang Street, even the worst one still has a place in the national restaurant rankings, not to mention the Xianwei Building that Mu An'an is going to this time, which is among the top three restaurants of the same type in the entire Jixiang Street.

And if you are interested in the history of Jixiang Street, you may know that the founder of this Zuixian Building is the first young man to open a restaurant on Jixiang Street.

……

"Doodoo~"

The mobile phone in his pocket rang suddenly, and Mu Anan took it out and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Mu An'an, where have you been?"

On the other end of the phone was a beautiful female voice.

Mu Anan turned his head to look at the street sign outside the taxi and replied, "I have arrived at Jixiang Street." ”

The other end of the line said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the place I predetermined." ”

Mu An'an nodded subconsciously, and after realizing that the other party couldn't see it, he quietly replied: "Okay." ”

The taxi driver, who had been chatting with Mu Anan all the way, waited for him to hang up the phone, and asked with a smile, "Girlfriend?"

Mu Anan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, it's just a friend." ”

Looking at Mu An'an's nervous little appearance, the taxi driver smiled again, he looked at the scenery outside the window and said, "Young man, if you want to go on a date with your girlfriend, you can choose the wrong place." ”

Of course, Mu Anan knew what the driver was referring to, after all, he seemed to have little money, and he was a young man with a thin and twenty-five boy, and it was undoubtedly a very luxurious and self-conscious thing to come to a place like Jixiang Street to eat.

Mu An'an waved his hand and explained: "No, in fact, someone else is here to invite me to dinner." ”

"Oh?" The driver's expression was puzzled, and when he saw Mu An'an's fairly delicate facial features, he taught earnestly, "Young man, you have to think twice about this kind of thing, don't wronged yourself for the sake of greedy for temporary happiness." ”

"Huh?" Mu Anan obviously didn't understand what the driver was alluding to this time.

"Big brother, I'm also from here, I've seen a lot of young people like you, don't you just don't want to struggle, and want to be happy and carefree for a few years? But you have to know that this is not a long-term solution, look at your current physique, your body is becoming more and more unbearable. ”

Mu Anan couldn't understand why the driver had a "good words and persuasion" tone when he spoke, but he seemed to understand the meaning of the driver's words.

Mu Anan made a crying and laughing expression.

"Brother, you misunderstood, I'm not a ......"

The driver interrupted Mu An'an's words and said: "No need to explain, I said that the eldest brother is from the past and can understand your thoughts, but I can't help but persuade you, don't take it to heart." ”

The driver's speech is really getting more and more interesting.

Mu Anan was about to explain, but at this time the call came again.

As soon as Mu An'an picked up the phone, Yin Xiyao's voice came from there: "Hey, Mu An'an, I have seen you, why are you still moving forward?"

When Mu Anan heard this, he hurriedly poked his head out of the window and glanced at the back of the car, Yin Xiyao was really standing under the street lamp not far behind with his mobile phone, waving his hand to this side.

"I'm sorry, I'm coming. Mu Anan hung up the phone after speaking, and then hurriedly said to the driver who was still driving forward, "Master, my friend is behind her, can you drive back again?"

The driver nodded, and he drove to the place with the U-turn sign in front of him and turned around.

The car drove in front of Yin Xiyao, and Mu Anan was about to open the car door after giving the money, but he didn't expect the driver to sigh in a self-ashamed tone after glancing at the lovely Yin Xiyao: "Forgive the eldest brother for thinking too much, to tell you the truth, you are a young man, and the eldest brother has really never seen a few." ”

Mu Anan could only respond with a crying and laughing expression.

In fact, after carefully looking at Yin Xiyao's makeup today, it is no wonder that the driver master has such a change.

Today's Yin Xiyao is dressed up very beautifully, she usually keeps no makeup, and now she is painted with light makeup on her face, which retouches her already extremely sweet facial features more exquisitely, and then matches the light blue ruffle sleeve dress on her body and the pair of flatform straw sandals under her feet, which makes her whole person exude a gentle and lovely temperament.

Mu An'an, who saw Yin Xiyao dressed like this for the first time, couldn't help but be a little stunned, so much so that after the taxi left, he kept getting out of the car.

"What's wrong with you?"

Yin Xiyao stretched out her jade hand and shook it in front of Mu An'an's eyes.

Mu Anan came back to his senses and scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, in the end, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he was also a little dick who had never seen the world, and he tried his best to find the words of praise in his mind.

"You're so beautiful tonight. After thinking about it for a long time, Mu Anan said.

"Haha. ”

Yin Xiyao chuckled twice, this time she didn't blush, maybe she gradually got used to the style of talking with Mu An'an, or maybe she thought that other people's statements of facts didn't need to blush at all.

"Do you mean I wasn't pretty before?"

Mu Anan hurriedly explained: "Of course not, you are beautiful all the time, I just mean that you are more beautiful today than ever." ”

"Oh?" Yin Xiyao fiddled with her well-groomed hair, "Then do you know why?"

Mu Anan shook his head.

Yin Xiyao raised her hand and gently patted Mu An'an's head and said, "Stupid, it's because people rely on clothes." ”
