Chapter 356: Tea Restaurant

Across the road in front of the Gaoqiao Steamed Noodles Shop, there is a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant called "Diandude", which has just opened for more than two months. Please Baidu search () The decoration of the façade of the tea restaurant is very fashionable, with wooden tables and chairs, leather small booths, shrouded in warm yellow lights, like an instant crossing to the brightly lit Hong Kong Street.

The tea restaurant is divided into two floors, and each floor has a business area of nearly 300 square meters. In the general manager's office on the second floor, Ou Xueqian was sitting in the executive chair, watching the kitchen foreman and two kitchen chefs tasting the steamed rice noodles she had just packed.

The foreman Long Chi Neng tasted it first, and felt that the taste was quite good, and motioned for the two kitchen masters to try it too.

"What's the difference?"

"Mr. Ou, are these steamed noodles produced by the Gaoqiao steamed noodles shop opposite?" Long Chi Neng asked in disbelief, and the two kitchen masters also showed surprise.

"Yes. I happened to pass by yesterday and saw the diners of that breakfast restaurant waiting in line for a meal, and I also ordered a plate of steamed noodles at a good time, but I didn't expect their special steamed noodles to be smooth and delicious, no wonder the diners were full. Ou Xueqian returned to the tea restaurant yesterday and mentioned to Long Chi Neng that they didn't believe that a small breakfast shop on the street could steam out the steamed noodles that were greatly praised by the proprietress of their tea restaurant, so they specially packed a few plates of steamed noodles back this morning for them to taste.

Judging from the looks of the few of them, Ou Xueqian knew that the steamed noodles in this breakfast shop were really good.

Ou Xueqian was born in a Hong Kong food family, and her father Ou Rui Biao, known as "Uncle Biao", is an older generation of gourmets in Hong Kong, founded the earliest tea restaurant chain in Hong Kong, and is now the actual controller of the famous Hong Kong Fu Ji restaurant chain group.

Ou Ruibiao had three children under his knees, and after Mrs. Yuan Pei gave birth to two sons for him, he died of illness and died young, and his wife gave birth to Ou Xueqian. The eldest son became the general manager of the Hong Kong Fu Chi restaurant chain, and the second son was in charge of the group's business in Chinatown, USA.

Ou Xueqian has been the pearl of her parents since she was a child, and she has also won the love of her two half-brothers, and after returning to Hong Kong from studying in the UK in her early years, she also joined the restaurant group, mainly responsible for the business in the mainland.

Since the beginning of the new millennium, Hong Kong Fu Ji restaurant chain group has opened a number of chain branches in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and the group's next target is the third and fourth tier cities in the province, and as the Hakka Ou Rui standard, the ancestral home happens to be Yangzhou. When the family returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors last year, Ou Xueqian stayed in Yangzhou City for two days, and saw that her hometown city was developing so fast, so she immediately decided to open a branch in Yangzhou, and received strong support from her father and eldest brother.

Since the second half of last year, under the full planning of Ou Xueqian, six "Diandude" tea restaurants have been opened in the commercial area of Yangzhou City, and this one on Renmin North Road is the latest to open two months ago.

"Aaron, you can come with me to the breakfast shop in a moment, I have already made an appointment with their boss to meet. Ou Xueqian said.

"Ou always wants to introduce their special steamed noodles to our tea restaurant?" asked Long Chi Neng.

"Yes, if I could, I'd like to make this steamed powder a special signature. ”

Although Ou Xueqian is not yet thirty-five years old, quite young, but has absolute authority in the mainland branch, Long Chi can admire his beautiful proprietress is admired, since she was personally hand-picked, transferred from the Hong Kong headquarters to the mainland branch, has been responsible for the kitchen work, whenever the new store opens, he has to personally serve as the kitchen foreman, until the branch can operate normally, find a successor. "Okay, I'll change my clothes first, and Ma will go with Mr. Ou. Long Chi Neng said and walked out of the office with the two kitchen masters.

Lin Qiang and Li Wan rushed to the breakfast shop one after another, and asked Cao Limei about the specific situation while eating steamed noodles.

Cao Limei said that the person who came was a gorgeously dressed and elegant woman, and when she placed an order, she also asked herself about the situation in the store, and there were many customers waiting in line at that time, and she didn't have time to answer, the woman finished eating the steamed powder by herself, and packed a few boxes, and when she left, she said that she hoped to meet with the boss here to discuss, but she didn't say anything specifically to discuss, and only left her mobile phone number.

Li Wan said to Lin Qiang with some excitement: "Could it be that some nearby company or unit wants to order breakfast for the employees in our breakfast shop?"

"There may be that, but I don't think it's that simple. Lin Qiang said: "If you want to order breakfast, you don't have to find the boss, you can find the store manager." ”

As the two were talking, Cao Limei pointed to a man and a woman who were walking from the sidewalk zebra crossing and said to them that the woman wearing light pink sunglasses was coming to find them.

Lin Qiang and Li Wan looked towards the side of the road, and saw a graceful woman, with delicate long black hair, draped over her shoulders, wearing a pale yellow one-line skirt and a pink-purple short shawl coat, which set off her excellent figure, with light steps and generous demeanor, which attracted a lot of looking back.

Cao Limei greeted them out, led the two to Lin Qiang and them, and introduced: "This is our boss, Mr. Lin and Mr. Li. ”

Lin Qiang and Li Wan stood up and shook each other's hands.

"I'm Lin Sheng, the owner of this small shop, I don't know what advice this beautiful sister has?" Lin Qiang said.

Ou Xueqian didn't expect that the owner and proprietress of this breakfast shop were also so young, talented and beautiful, and they looked a little familiar, as if they had seen them somewhere, smiled at them elegantly, took out their business cards from their bags, and said, "I take the liberty to make an appointment with Mr. Lin and Mr. Li, I hope you will forgive me." We are a 'Dian Dude' tea restaurant, which is my business card. ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Ou, I am fortunate to meet you, please sit down. Lin Qiang looked at the business card and said.

Li Wan also took out the business card of the catering company that had just been printed from her bag and handed it to Ou Xue.

Ou Xueqian took the business card, looked at the name of the face, raised her head and looked at Lin Qiang and Li Wan carefully, and said in surprise: "It turns out that it is really Mr. Lin and Mr. Li, no wonder they are so familiar." ”

Lin Qiang and Li Wan glanced at each other: "Mr. Ou knows us?"

Ou Xueqian shook her head and said, "I don't know, but I've seen your photos in the Limei Fitness Club, and I've heard Mr. Ding talk about you." The advertisements of all branches of our tea restaurant are also commissioned by Mr. Li's New Century Advertising Company. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Ding Rong's friend, please take a seat, Xiaomei quickly pour a cup of tea for Mr. Ou and them. Lin Qiang said.

"When did Mr. Lin and Mr. Li open this kind of breakfast shop?" Lin Qiang and Li Wan are now well-known figures in the business community in Yangzhou, and Ou Xueqian didn't expect them to open a breakfast shop.

"It's been less than a month since we opened, and this is our first branch, which specializes in steamed rice noodles from our hometown. Lin Qiang introduced.

Ou Xueqian said: "I have already come to taste it, and I have specially packaged it back for our kitchen master to taste it too, Mr. Lin, your steamed noodles are really distinctive, smooth and tough, and very delicious." We came here today to discuss with Mr. Lin to see if we can introduce this special steamed powder into our tea restaurant. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Ou, for your appreciation of our steamed noodles. However, this kind of steamed noodles seems to be only suitable for street shops, and it can't be elegant. Lin Qiang said.

Ou Xueqian said: "Our branch is across the road, I don't know if Mr. Lin and Mr. Li have time to go over and sit?"

With the movement of Hong Kong's population and the spread of Hong Kongization, tea restaurants have long since stepped out of Hong Kong and become a kind of special food. Lin Qiang first heard about the tea restaurant through a Hong Kong TV series in the eighties and nineties of the century.

Most of Hong Kong's TV dramas show the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the grassroots class, and ordinary people in Hong Kong are usually accustomed to eating plate rice, drinking a cup of milk tea and eating a pineapple bun at a tea restaurant at lunch or at 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon to relieve their tense nerves. As the most grassroots and local eating place, tea restaurants often become one of the scenes that TV writers love to use.

Ou Xueqian led Lin Qiang and them to visit the tea restaurant before coming to the office.

"Mr. Ou's tea restaurant is elegantly decorated, the dining environment is first-class, and the business is good. Lin Qiang said.

Ou Xueqian said: "This is our sixth branch in Yangzhou, in addition to the efficiency and relatively cheap food prices, the more important thing is to diversify the food, our tea restaurant mainly provides Hong Kong characteristics of food, but pays great attention to local eating habits, the branch here in Yangzhou has introduced a variety of Hakka cuisine to meet the different requirements of local diners." I saw that Mr. Lin's steamed noodles in your store are very popular with diners, and after trying it myself, I thought it was quite good, so I took the liberty to meet the two of you. ”

"Then what exactly does Mr. Ou think?" Lin Qiang looked at her and said.

Ou Xueqian pondered for a while, she originally thought it was just an ordinary breakfast shop, and thought about discussing with the owner and paying a sum of money to buy the recipe and process of steaming powder, but she didn't expect the shopkeepers to be Lin Qiang and Li Wan. Although she hadn't dealt with Lin Qiang and them yet, she had heard of their deeds and said, "I want to know, Mr. Lin, why did you think of opening a breakfast shop?"

Lin Qiang smiled and said that this kind of steamed noodles is a special delicacy in his hometown, and he wanted to promote it.

"Then you want to make the breakfast shop a chain store?" Ou Xueqian looked at Lin Qiang and asked.

Lin Qiang nodded and said, "Yes, we have established a catering company and opened two breakfast restaurants in Yangzhou. ”

Ou Xueqian said thoughtfully: "Mr. Lin is really very business-minded, no wonder Mr. Ding always praises you in front of me." I was thinking of spending money to buy your steaming recipe and process, but it seems that I was thinking too simply. ”

"Naturally, our small shop can't compete with a tall tea restaurant like Mr. Ou, but I'm still very optimistic about the prospects of this kind of breakfast restaurant, and Li and I always really operate it as a long-term project. Lin Qiang said.

Listening to Lin Qiang's brief introduction of his catering company plan, Ou Xueqian secretly admired the business acumen and vision of the man in front of her, and felt a little sorry in her heart, it seems that this delicious steamed noodles have no chance with her own tea restaurant, and she was thinking about it, but she heard Lin Qiang say:

"I have another idea of cooperation, I wonder if Ou is always interested?"
