Chapter 238: Prologue
The news of Li Youqing's finale Erjing Group's anniversary celebration did not cause any sensation, because for everyone, there is indeed no one who is more popular than Li Youqing throughout Erjing Film and Television.
Since the heat is not as hot as others, it is natural to give up the finale.
As for seniority... This thing doesn't work in the entertainment industry.
Left and right, as the controlling persons of the entire Erjing Group, thought for a moment after learning the whole news and dialed Zhang Jiuliang's phone to tell him about it.
"The finale is the finale, as long as the party is not broadcast on the platform. "Although he didn't think it was a big deal to go on the stage, the clever gambler still thought of the blind spots and eliminated the possible surprises in time.
However, she did not tell her brother about it, probably thinking in her mind that it was just a very small matter.
In fact, Jiangbei didn't have much time to care about these things, and after a week of personally preparing the hot pot base, he finally concocted the base recipe that met expectations.
"The taste of the recipe is basically the same as the previous one, but the fragrance and spicinessness are not enough, so it is best to use Shizhu Red from Sichuan and Chongqing. Huang Jinchang, who was invited, tasted the hot pot made with the latest hot pot base and expressed his approval.
"Isn't it spicy enough?"
When Jiangbei heard this, he picked up a piece of snowflake fat cow and put it in the pot and scalded it, and then he didn't even need to dip the sauce and sent it directly to his mouth to taste.
After eating a piece of fat cow, his mouth was a little spicy and he couldn't stand it, so he picked up the water next to him and drank it and said: "I think this spicy degree should be moderate, if there are customers who can eat spicy anymore, you can put more on the dipping sauce, as for the bottom of the pot, forget it, after all, we have to take care of some customers who are not very spicy." β
Since we are going to open a national chain store, we must not only take care of the people who can eat spicy food, but also take into account the customers who are not very spicy.
After hearing this, Huang Jinchang felt that there was some truth, but he still insisted: "Shizhu red variety of chili peppers can not only increase the spiciness, among which No. 5 chili pepper can be used as a fragrance and color enhancement, which is more suitable as a hot pot base than conventional red peppers." β
After all, Huang Jinchang has been engaged in the hot pot industry for generations, and the effect of the base preparation is really good, so Jiang Bei also respects his opinion, thinks about it and says: "Since you strongly recommend it, then get some stone pillar red to make a comparison and try to improve the base recipe." β
"If you want to buy Shizhu red, it is best to go to Shizhu County, which is basically not authentic on the Internet or in the market, which affects the taste. Huang Jinchang followed with a piece of fat cow and replied while eating.
"Hmm......" Jiang Bei thought for a moment when he heard this, and asked, "Would you like to help me run?"
Huang Jinchang was not surprised after hearing this, but replied: "I have no money for the journey, and my niece has no one to take care of." β
"I will give you enough funds, and I will also let Liangliang take care of your niece. β
"Okay, I promise. β
"Well, you're welcome to join. β
The conversation between the two was simple, and they didn't even discuss anything other than the ingredients, but they both knew in their hearts that from this moment on, they had become partners with each other.
Jiangbei needs to rely on Huang Jinchang's rich catering experience to manage the hot pot restaurant that is about to open, and Huang Jinchang also needs a job that can survive in a foreign land.
The two are mutually beneficial.
In addition, with the effect of the hot pot base formula has begun to bear fruit, it has a unique hot pot base formula in hand and a 'service-oriented' marketing model. The plan of the hot pot catering enterprise is also mature, and it can enter the entrepreneurial stage at any time.
It's just that......
"Why haven't you asked me about hot pot restaurants lately?"
On the way home, Jiangbei remembered Li Youqing's attitude recently, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Xiao Nizi, who used to change her ways to inquire about his whereabouts almost every day, seems to have stopped this behavior again.
Why?
Looking at the weather that had already darkened, Jiangbei thought about it and drove the car to the fresh supermarket, and decided to go home tonight to cook a meal, and inquire about the specific situation by the way.
However, when he got home, he found that his sister-in-law and sister-in-law had already gathered around the dining table to eat Zhengxiang, and Li Youqing was a little surprised to see him come back: "Huh, why don't you eat out today?"
Look at what this said, yin and yang are weird.
"There's nothing to do today, so I came back early, I wanted to cook a meal, but I didn't expect you to eat it yourself. β
Jiang Bei walked to the refrigerator with the ingredients and opened it and put it in, he took a look when he passed by the restaurant just now, and found that there were three dishes and one soup on the table, even if he added it, it was enough, and there was no need to add dishes.
Damn gambling king, who the hell are you?
"Brother, come on, these dishes are what you like to eat today. β
When Liang Liang saw his brother coming back, he was very attentive, got up and ran to the kitchen to personally serve a bowl of rice and beckoned Jiangbei to sit down and eat.
"Hmm. β
It's not easy to say anything if there are hostile targets in Jiangbei, so sit down and eat.
"I'm full, you eat slowly. β
When Li Youqing saw him sit down, he immediately finished the leftovers in the bowl, put down his chopsticks and got up to leave, and even Jiangbei didn't react.
"What's wrong with your sister-in-law?
"Oh! The girl's family is hypocritical, and my sister-in-law is showing an attitude towards you snubbing her during this time. To put it simply, that's what it is. Emotional expert Zhang Jiuliang replied disapprovingly.
"Whether you care or not is another matter, the key is that if she ignores me like this, how will our plan be implemented? Now that all the preliminary preparations for the hot pot restaurant have been completed, we are waiting for her to speak. Jiang Bei said with a frown.
Originally, according to the plan, I wanted to drag Li Youqing into the water, let her take the initiative to help her start a hot pot brand chain, and at the same time divert her attention from the entertainment industry.
Now everything in the hot pot restaurant is secretly arranged, if Li Youqing is not brought in, when the hot pot restaurant plan is launched, everything will have nothing to do with her.
"Sister-in-law doesn't speak, you can take the initiative to ask her for advice and pull her in!" Liang Liang replied as he nibbled on the shrimp.
"I take the initiative to ask, if you want me to take the initiative to ask, then what is the significance of these things you made up before?" Jiang Bei asked inexplicably.
"Brother, you don't understand, the girl's mind is so complicated. If you don't make such a show first, my sister-in-law will definitely not agree to help you figure out the hot pot restaurant, but after you are so cold, the effect of coming to her again is a natural difference. β
"And the feeling thing, you have to do it and I do it, so that it can be unforgettable. β
The gambling king is always able to say this, at least in Jiangbei's opinion, the gambling king's eloquence is much better than her gambling skills.
"Don't fool your brother. β
"Don't worry, brother, you can always believe in me Ancheng gambling king!"
"By the way, I have asked Huang Jinchang to go to Sichuan and Chongqing, you arrange a trip for him, and you can help take care of his niece for a few days. β
"No problem. β
β¦β¦
Maybe he thought that what Liang Liang said made sense, or maybe there was nothing he could do about it at this point, so after eating, Jiangbei chose to knock on Li Youqing's door.
"Who?"
Li Youqing's crisp voice came from inside the room, but she didn't mean to open the door.
"I'd like to talk to you about something. Jiang Bei hesitated for a moment and said.
"I'm sleepy, I'll talk about it tomorrow. β
Directly refused, and didn't even want to hear the reason for the matter.
Jiang Bei outside the door was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at the gambling king who was washing dishes while humming a song in the kitchen: "The cool night is a river for you, and it turns into spring mud to protect me......"
This damn Zhang Jiuliang!
β¦β¦
The days passed like this, and the dullness was mixed with a bit of busyness.
Huang Jinchang went fast and came back quickly, bringing back two sacks of Shizhu red peppers in just three days. After getting the pure Shizhu red pepper, Jiangbei immediately started to prepare a new hot pot base, and came to the conclusion that it was indeed better than using ordinary red pepper.
At this point, the recipe of the hot pot base has also been officially announced, and the next thing that needs to be done is mass production and preparation for the opening of the hot pot restaurant.
It's just that there are things about this that were originally intended for Li Youqing to participate in and preside, because this can divert her focus.
But the truth did not go as he thought, Li Youqing suddenly changed the care and care written on his face before, and became indifferent, and only cared about the anniversary celebration every day.
Even Jiangbei deliberately returned a few days late, but she didn't have any reaction, and the warmth on the sofa was no longer there.
Xiao Nizi's abnormal behavior made the old man puzzled, and at the same time, the opening of the hot pot restaurant became far away, and even the faΓ§ade of the closed skewer shop on Azure Road has not been rented yet.
Fortunately, the face of the gambling king in Ancheng is big enough, otherwise he would have changed hands to others if he didn't pay the rent for such a long time.
However, Rao is like this, this rent must also be paid from the day of the agreement, and the wasted time needs to be paid by Jiangbei himself.
"Otherwise, let's rent the shop and renovate it first. β
Seeing that the time was getting tighter and tighter, there was still no progress on Li Youqing's side, and Jiangbei was gradually losing patience, so he thought about simply giving up the idea of shifting his wife's focus and planning to open a hot pot restaurant directly.
However, at this time, Li Youqing, who had always been reluctant to deal with him, handed him a beautiful invitation letter that night: the first anniversary celebration party of Erjing Group.
"You'll be here that night, won't you?"
Looking at the old man's somewhat stunned eyes, Li Youqing blinked and asked playfully.
"Can I go too......" Jiang Bei asked curiously, looking at the exquisite invitation in his hand.
It stands to reason that the scope of this celebration is limited to the entire Erjing Group, and outsiders are not qualified to participate.
"I'm in charge of this anniversary celebration, so it's okay to enjoy this little privilege. Li Youqing said with a smug face.
"Sister-in-law, what about me, what about me?" Liang Liang, who was eating melons on the side with a pillow, couldn't help but ask out loud.
"No!" Li Youqing took out another invitation letter and handed it to Liang Liang when he heard this, obviously he had prepared it on purpose.
"Remember! you must have nothing to do that night. After handing over the invitation letter to Liang Liang, Li Youqing bent down with his hands behind his back and his eyes were perpendicular to his eyes, and instructed word by word.
Why does this sound a bit threatening?
Jiangbei, who reacted, was about to ask back, but Li Youqing didn't give him this opportunity, turned around and walked towards the room, and closed the door with a 'bang'.
"What do you mean by this, sister-in-law?" Jiang Bei touched his chin and looked at the invitation in his hand, and asked Xiang Liangliang in a low voice.
Liang Liang was taking a picture of the invitation with her mobile phone, and replied casually when she heard this: "What can I mean, I guess I want to show off her business ability with you! After all, she is in charge of this anniversary celebration." β
"Then should I go?" asked Jiangbei.
Recently, Li Youqing's attitude has been very strange, which makes him a little suspicious of whether there is fraud here.
"Go ahead, hurry up and coax your sister-in-law first. Otherwise, after the anniversary celebration, my sister-in-law will have time to think about things in the entertainment industry. Liang Liang thought about it and suggested.
"So what you said before was some?" Jiang Bei glared at and said in a low voice.
Liang Liang looked aggrieved and muttered: "Brother, I don't know that my sister-in-law doesn't play cards according to common sense......"
Is it playing according to common sense, or is she not liking it enough?
Jiang Bei shook his head, got up and walked towards the room with the invitation letter of the thorn gold.
The gambling king looked at his brother's back from behind, and for the first time felt that this familiar back was a little depressed.
β¦β¦
August 12, cloudy and windy.
Today is the first anniversary of the establishment of Erjing Group, and since the morning, the Suyi Sports Center has been surrounded by reporters and fans with cameras, and there is no gap at all.
At this time, there were still nine hours before the start of the anniversary celebration, and there were no spectators or entertainers in the venue except for the staff.
But even so, the number of fans and media reporters outside the venue continues to increase, and the sensation is tantamount to a film (music) festival.
All this is due to the rapid development of Erjing Film and Television in the past year, after investing in three box office explosion movies in a row, and then acquiring Sanchuan Cinemas, Erjing Film and Television has become one of the few bigwigs in the entertainment industry.
With great energy and influence, it is easy to attract well-known artists to join.
Therefore, today's Erjing Film and Television can be said to be a gathering of first- and second-tier well-known artists, and with the blessing of so many artist traffic, the sensation of this anniversary celebration will naturally not be low.
But no one could have imagined that this was just the beginning.
After noon, more and more fans came to admire it, and the square outside the entire Suyi Sports Center was occupied, and even the entrance channel was blocked.
That's not all, because the fans who come are different, so it is inevitable that there will be some friction, so everyone began to use the slogan of support to get a score.
"Single-minded, easy to Yang Qianyi. β
"The sea will not be blue, and the waves will not be absent. β
"Looking for power, never give up. β
"The sky is high and Yu Fei, and the feathers will always be with you. β
"May you have a future, thick and thin. β
"Wow, I'm afraid these fans are crazy......"
