Chapter 178: Demolition in the Spring Breeze (Second Update)
What?" Upton and Herbert said in unison. Product = book/net
Like Upton's rainbow puffs, the legend of the wife's cake that has been passed down to this day is also wrong.
"The real wife cake, in fact, the background of the story is not so grand, but very ordinary. ”
"Once upon a time, there was a loving but poor couple, because the old father was seriously ill, the family had no money for medical treatment, and the wife had to sell herself into the landlord's house. ”
When listening to Chen Mo talk about "his wife selling herself", Upton couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hands, and his bright big eyes widened.
The husband who lost his wife was not discouraged, and he made a promise with his wife that he would definitely redeem her. When his wife entered the landlord's house, the husband could only cry silently and take the money from his wife's sale to treat his father. ”
When he was dying, the father told his son that he must redeem his wife as soon as possible, and the family would be reunited, and he was sorry for this daughter-in-law, so he turned around and died. ”
The husband tearfully handled his father's funeral, and at this moment the money on his body had been spent, almost alone, but he did not give up, and used his own craftsmanship to develop a delicious shortbread. ”
Because the husband who sold the bread missed his wife day and night, he called the bread he sold his wife's cake, and the customer who went to buy it because of the good taste of the cake and the knowledge of what happened to the husband, spread it to the hundreds, and soon the wife's cake became famous. ”
Relying on the money from the sale of bread, the diligent husband soon saved enough money to go to the landlord's house to redeem his wife, and the two were reunited and finally lived happily ever after. ”
The story of the two of them is the real origin of the wife's cake. ”
Herbert scratched his forehead and muttered quietly, "I see." ”
Upton lifted his glasses and said in an appreciative tone: "Chen Mo, it turns out that you are also a person who likes to pursue the truth and get to the bottom of it. ”
Herbert applauded and agreed with Upton's words, and said: "A chef should have such a spirit, judging from the food you two made just now, Kate and Chen Mo, both of you are very talented young chefs, as people of the same kind, you should move around and get close to each other." ”
Hearing the word "close", Chen Mo, a straight-minded man with traditional thinking, was a little embarrassed.
On the contrary, Upton, who seemed to be only eighteen years old, generously stretched out his hand to Chen Mo, and said with a smile: "Chen Mo, it's a pleasure to meet you today." ”
Chen Mo slowly stretched out his hand, held Upton's hand, and replied, "Thank you, it's nice to meet you." ”
Upton's hand was very small, Chen Mo felt that his palm could almost completely wrap the other party's small hand, and Upton's hand had very delicate and smooth skin.
I don't know why, Chen Mo suddenly remembered the kind of stewed pork knuckle he ate when he was a child.
It's soft and bouncy, and it feels pretty good to start...
Chen Mo couldn't help but pinch.
Chen Mo, who came back to his senses, found that Upton was looking at him with a frown.
"Ah, I'm sorry!" Chen Mo hurriedly whispered nervously, and at the same time let go of his hand.
I didn't mean to...
Just when the atmosphere between the two was a little delicate, Herbert suddenly stood beside the two and said to Chen Mo and Upton: "With the two of you, I believe that the Sino-US joint venture plan will definitely be realized in the spring breeze." ”
Seeing Chen Mo staring at him with a strange expression, Herbert said with a suddenly realized expression: "Look at me, I forgot to talk about the point, regarding the Sino-US joint venture plan, I have reached a preliminary agreement with Director Ren and Chairman Ni that our 100 American-style fast food restaurants will be fully rolled out in Jinling with Chinese investment and personnel, and the United States will provide ingredients and management. These first three stores are open in your spring breeze. ”
Open in the spring breeze?
How come I've never heard of it?
Chen Mo hurriedly said: "Open in the spring breeze? But I remember, there doesn't seem to be any spare or suitable shop in the spring breeze to open your American-style restaurant, right?"
Moreover, opening three American fast food restaurants in the spring breeze is the meaning of trying to steal business with me?
A trace of hostility swelled up in Chen Mo's heart.
Herbert laughed out loud when he heard this, and said to Chen Mo: "Chen Mo, don't you actually think that your street is really a little dilapidated? Whether it is a shop or a residence on the street, they are all built decades ago, and they should have been eliminated a long time ago. Wouldn't it be nice to tear it down in the spring breeze and cover our American fast food restaurant?"
Herbert's meaning is obviously that it will be demolished in the spring breeze.
It turns out that Herbert is planning to do this!
Chen Mo found that he really misjudged him, he not only made people feel a little uncomfortable, he was simply cunning!
At the moment, the food house is booming, but it is closed because of the demolition in the spring breeze, so that the popularity that has just accumulated is about to disperse, and when it is rebuilt in the spring breeze, three American fast food restaurants will be opened, perhaps not far from the food house, forming a trend of encirclement.
It seems that Herbert is planning to use the name of Sino-foreign joint venture to get rid of himself and the food house that are now in the limelight.
This kind of thinking is obvious!
Chen Mo shook his head, expressed his attitude very directly, and said: "No, it's not good at all, although this alley in the spring breeze has been around for some years, it is precisely because of the long time that it has left its heritage, everything in the spring breeze is very good, I don't think there is any need to tear down and start over, and my food house is very popular, even if everyone else agrees to the demolition, I will not agree." ”
Chen Mo's answer was very straightforward, clearly telling Herbert, don't think about good things, I can't let your trick succeed.
Surprisingly, Herbert actually said: "The agreement to demolish the food house is also one of the preconditions for the Sino-US joint venture plan, and only when it is completely rebuilt in the spring breeze can the Sino-US joint venture really take effect." ”
This is nothing short of a naked threat and kidnapping!
Only then did Chen Mo realize that Herbert had already planned to eat himself after the last time he went to the food house, and at this moment, Chen Mo already understood the other party's sinister intentions.
Strangled Jinling's promising young chefs in the cradle, and did not give Chinese cuisine any chance to raise its head.
The so-called Sino-foreign joint ventures are probably just empty words.
And this time, his excellent performance only strengthened Herbert's determination to get rid of him.
At the same time, he wanted to show off to himself, and he succeeded.
"Hmph. ”
Chen Mo is a straight person, and he doesn't like to cheat on his face.
"I will ask Director Ren and Chairman Ni for verification. Chen Mo turned around and left without looking back, and walked towards the door.
I have a food house
