Chapter 80: Spring Breeze Restaurant
Xinling City, the capital of Nanjiang Province, near the intersection on Qinshan Road, opened a new individual restaurant a few months ago, named **Feng Restaurant. The business license of the www.biquge.info restaurant has a name named He Xuezhen written on it, and no one in the factories in the Qinshan Road area has ever heard of it. However, after the restaurant opened, the girl who was busy running the restaurant every day was known to many people, and she was known as a child of a diesel engine factory. People who are more familiar with her will know that her name is Chen Shuhan, a young man who has returned to the city, and she is already an old girl who is almost 30 years old and has not yet married.
More than once, someone asked Chen Shuhan who the owner of the restaurant was, and Chen Shuhan only said that it was a distant relative of hers, and he hired her to help here when he saw that she was unemployed. This explanation is naturally untenable for her mother and younger brother, because they know very well whether they have such distant relatives in their own family. So, Chen Shuhan told them that it was opened by a friend she met at the Zhiqing Point, and she won't say more details.
Chunfeng Restaurant has just opened, and business is very good. It's really because there was only one restaurant on this street, not to mention that the food was unpalatable, and the temper of several waiters was also very big.
The Chunfeng Restaurant run by Chen Shuhan is quite elegantly decorated and cleaned, and it is not at all as simple and sloppy as individual restaurants in other parts of Xinling. Chen Shuhan has a natural talent for cooking, and several home-cooked dishes are very delicious, and they are of good quality and low price, which is quite well received. Chen Shuhan's steamed big meat buns have thin skin and thick meat, although each is five cents more expensive than the buns in the factory canteen, but they are still in short supply, and many single workers simply stop going to the canteen for breakfast, and come to the Chunfeng restaurant every day to eat, eat deliciously, and don't need to look at the black face of the canteen chef.
The Chunfeng Restaurant is nominally managed by Chen Shuhan and Feng Lingyu, but after Feng Lingyu took Feng Xiaochen's quota to work in the Metallurgical Bureau, the time to work in the restaurant is very limited, that is, he can come to the top on the weekend. In normal times, such a restaurant relies on Chen Shuhan to be alone, shopping, washing, stir-frying, serving dishes, and washing dishes, busy from morning to evening. That is, Chen Shuhan exercised when he was an educated youth, and his physical strength was good, otherwise he would really not be able to bear such a high intensity of labor.
Feng Xiaochen, who was far away in the capital, learned about the operation of Chunfeng Restaurant from his brother's letter, and immediately wrote to Chen Shuhan and asked her to recruit another waiter to help. Chen Shuhan wrote back that he was completely able to do these things, and there was no need to waste money to recruit people. Feng Xiaochen was an understanding person, and knew that Chen Shuhan was trying to save him money, so he gave an ultimatum, either Chen Shuhan himself would ask for a helper who knew the bottom and was easier to talk to, or let He Xuezhen invite him.
Chen Shuhan compromised and found a girl in her early 20s who was still unemployed at home to be a waitress among the children of diesel engines. This girl's name is Zeng Wenxia, she is mediocre, honest, and very diligent. She is quite grateful to Chen Shuhan for hiring her as a waitress, because at this time, there are countless unemployed young people in society, and it is difficult to find a job. It's not a shame to work as a waitress in a restaurant, and a salary of 25 yuan a month is enough for this girl to afford suitable flower cloth and skin care products.
"Comrade, what do you want to eat?"
At this time, it was about four o'clock in the afternoon, and before it was time for dinner, a young man in his 20s walked into the Chunfeng Restaurant, wearing a rather trendy jacket and a sweater underneath. Zeng Wenxia was cleaning in the hall of the restaurant, preparing to welcome the guests for dinner, and when she saw this person coming in, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile. This is the rule that Chen Shuhan set for her, requiring that no matter when, as long as there are guests entering the door, they should greet them with a smile and make people feel at home.
"What do you have to eat here?"
The young man was Feng Xiaochen, who had just returned to Xinling from the capital to celebrate the New Year. He is a single employee and has seven days of home leave during the Chinese New Year. Luo Xiangfei gave Feng Xiaochen seven days of compensatory leave in the name that he often worked overtime during his time abroad, which allowed Feng Xiaochen to have a very relaxed time to come back and go around.
Feng Xiaochen arrived in Xinling the day before, and when he went home to tell his parents and younger brother about his trip to Germany and the situation of finding Yan Leqin, Feng Hua and others, Feng Li's reaction was similar to Feng Fei's, and he also cried with joy. As for He Xuezhen and Feng Lingyu, they thought more about the impact this incident would have on their families and individuals. Feng Xiaochen knocked Feng Lingyu on the head and asked him to hurry up and learn German so that he could study in Germany in a year or two, Feng Lingyu picked up the German-Chinese dictionary that night and asked his brother to teach him the ABC in German, which made Feng Xiaochen cry and laugh.
After handing over the foreign exchange and gifts given by Yan Leqin, Feng Xiaochen went to his parents' room, avoided Feng Lingyu, and explained to his parents that he was going to set up a factory. In front of his parents, of course, he didn't have to lie anymore, and directly explained that this factory was his Feng Xiaochen's, uh, of course, if Feng Li felt unhappy and wanted to take it back to his family, he naturally had no complaints.
Feng Li and his wife were unprepared for this matter, and asked more than a dozen times before they reluctantly accepted this shocking news. What kind of concept is it that his son actually has an invention patent and has sold millions of marks in Germany? If we take into account the black market price, the ratio between the mark and the renminbi is higher than 1 to 1, which means that Feng Xiaochen has become a millionaire before he is 20 years old.
As for using this money to set up a factory, it is beyond the scope of Feng Li and his wife's knowledge. However, Feng Xiaochen told them that this matter had been supported by Meng Fanze, the vice minister of the Ministry of Coal, which made Feng Li and his family have nothing to say. Regarding the friendship with Meng Fanze, Feng Xiaochen also described it in his previous family letters, and it can match the caliber of this time.
Feng Li and his wife spent a night digesting all this information, and the next morning they asked for leave to continue to interrogate Feng Xiaochen at home, and asked Feng Xiaochen to explain everything except for the crossing, and finally the two looked at each other and promised not to interfere in their son's affairs anymore, in fact, they also felt that they were no longer capable of interfering.
After lunch, Feng Xiaochen took a full nap before going to Qinshan Road to inspect the Chunfeng Restaurant. He didn't report to Chen Shuhan in advance, it wasn't that he wanted to carry out a surprise attack, but he really couldn't find a way to report to Chen Shuhan, he didn't have a mobile phone, he didn't have WeChat, and Chen Shuhan's family was not the kind of old cadre who could be qualified to install a phone, except for Feng Xiaochen coming to the door in person, what else could he do?
Hearing Feng Xiaochen ask what the restaurant had to eat, Zeng Wenxia hurriedly brought over a handwritten menu for Feng Xiaochen to see. This menu is oily and twisted, and I don't know how many people have touched it, Chen Shuhan embodies thrift in every place, just such a broken menu, she is not willing to update. Feng Xiaochen took the menu, looked it up and down, couldn't help laughing, and said:
"No, you can cook so many dishes in such a small restaurant?"
Zeng Wenxia said: "These are all things we can do, but it depends on whether there are raw materials." For example, this revolutionary pork liver can't be ordered today, and a piece of pork liver we bought in the morning has already been ordered and eaten at noon. ”
"Revolutionary Pork Liver ......" Feng Xiaochen is full of black lines, not to mention how many big meals he has eaten in his previous life, in this life, during his business trip to Xinmin Factory, he was also entertained with good food and good dishes in the factory every day, and he has seen some of the world, but this revolutionary pork liver is really not within the scope of his knowledge.
"Who fried all these dishes?" Feng Xiaochen asked.
"Our Sister Chen, her craftsmanship is good. Zeng Wenxia said.
Feng Xiaochen said: "Who did she study with? Did she go to chef school?"
Zeng Wenxia shook her head desperately: "No, Sister Chen taught herself and went to school according to the recipe." Our sister Chen is smart, and she can fry the dishes after reading the recipe once. Our restaurant has received leaders from many units, and they all say that our Sister Chen's fried dishes are very authentic. ”
"Including this revolutionary pork liver?" Feng Xiaochen asked mischievously.
"Yes, last time a director had dinner with us, he ordered this dish, and he said that it was very authentic. Zeng Wenxia said proudly.
Feng Xiaochen knew that he couldn't ask Zeng Wenxia anything more, so he said, "Okay, where are you Sister Chen now?" Take me to see her." ”
"What are you going to do?" Zeng Wenxia asked with a wary gaze, "Are you here for dinner?"
"Of course I'm here to eat, can't I meet the chef?" Feng Xiaochen asked.
"What are you doing with the chef?" Zeng Wenxia asked again.
Feng Xiaochen said with a smile: "Because your Sister Chen is also my Sister Chen, you go and tell Sister Chen, Feng Xiaochen is back, you see if she can see me." ”
"You are Feng ......" Zeng Wenxia covered her mouth suddenly, her face swollen red. She didn't look at it anymore, she had still heard of the name Feng Xiaochen, and knew that this was Feng Lingyu's brother who would come to help every Sunday, and it was Chen Shuhan's little fellow villager in the Zhiqing Point. The most important thing is that Chen Shuhan once hinted to her that He Xuezhen is just the nominal owner of this restaurant, and the real owner of the restaurant is Feng Xiaochen.
"Sister Chen, Sister Chen, Feng Xiaochen is here!"
Zeng Wenxia shouted all the way and went to the back kitchen. Leaving Feng Xiaochen holding a menu and laughing secretly:
"Revolutionary Pork Liver...... What kind of demon moth is this Chen Shuhan. ”
