This barbecue restaurant opened by Jufeng, occupies the best business network in the most prosperous pedestrian street in the city, is a particularly large single-family two-story building, the store is even larger than the GUCCI next door, the parking lot in front of the barbecue restaurant, densely packed with all kinds of vehicles, look into the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor, it is full of guests and friends, more than a dozen waiters wear the kind of roller skates with colored lights, shuttle endlessly between the crowd, and the LED neon sign on the roof. The four words "fat barbecue" are reflected against the dark sky, constantly flashing with colorful light.

"This fat man, is it all so good now?" I was quite surprised when I saw this scene, and then I found a random parking space for the car, pushed the door and walked over.

"Hello sir, welcome!" After the doorman opened the door, I walked in, and the barbecue restaurant in Jifeng was brilliantly decorated, and I didn't know that I thought it was into KTV.

A girl with a manager's badge came up to me and gave me a warm smile: "Sir, do you have a reservation?"

I smiled when I heard this: "I'll just have a barbecue, I also need to make a reservation?"

"Sir, that's right, we're full today, if you're not in a hurry, you can go to the service area over there and wait, there's free tea and sweets. The girl said, made a gesture of please, pointed to the service area not far away, I subconsciously glanced at it, there are two lounges separated by frosted glass, and they are divided into smoking areas and non-smoking areas, which are quite formal.

After chatting with the waiter, I looked at the light box next to me, and I was immediately confused, because it was written on it today's specials, and the most eye-catching thing was a plate of secret cucumbers, after a 20% discount, it was even charged 58, and I couldn't help but smack my tongue: "No wonder this dead fat man can open the store so big, a cucumber sells for more than 50 yuan, and it is no different from robbery." ”

"Sir?" the girl asked again, seeing that I ignored her.

"Oh!" I suddenly retracted my thoughts and smiled at the girl, "Is your boss here?"

"......" The girl was stunned when she heard this: "Our boss is not here, you are looking for our boss, is there something wrong?"

I nodded: "If you tell him, just say that Han Fei is here!"

"Okay, please go to the service area and wait, I'll call him. ”

"It's okay, I'll just go around, you go call. I casually waved my hand, dragged a chair and sat next to the bar, bored looking at the customers who came in and out, the guests who came to eat here in Jufeng, dressed very elegantly, most of these people came by car, and the grade of the car was not low, I picked up the menu and looked at it, the barbecue here in the drama fat man, the cheapest food, is also nearly twice as expensive as the barbecue restaurant outside, seeing the price of this dish, I smiled again, it seems that this little fat man who sold steamed buns at the beginning, after three years of hard work, is now really mixed。

After I waited for more than ten minutes, the door of the barbecue restaurant was pushed open, and then the fat man pushed the door and walked in, and after seeing me, I suddenly showed a smile on my face, and came up with a hug: "Brother Fei!

"Passing by, I came to see you. I looked at the figure of Ji Feng who had gained more than one circle, and was a little speechless: "You weigh one hundred and eight now, right?"

"Not to mention one hundred and eighteen, when I went to take a bath in the afternoon, I weighed it, and the net weight was two hundred and three!" When Ji Feng spoke, the fat on his stomach trembled: "I was drinking with a few friends from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau just now, and when I heard that you were coming, I ran back directly, haha!"

"!" I was still quite embarrassed when Ji Feng said something: "If you have something serious, just tell me, what are you doing when you come back!"

"What I said is nothing serious compared to the relationship between us!" Ji Feng waved his hand indifferently, and continued earnestly: "It turned out that when I had no money, I was thinking about how to make money, and now I have a little money in my hand, so I start to want to make friends, to be honest, after people have money, it's really simple to make friends, but those friends, no matter how they get it, don't have the feeling of being small between us, to put it bluntly, it's less pure." ”

"Fuck your uncle, when I was in school, I couldn't even write my own name, how could I still learn Wen Zou Zou's start to drag words!" Although I was scolding, after listening to Ji Feng's words, there was always a warm current in my heart.

"Okay, don't talk about it here, it's your first time in my shop, let's go, go upstairs, I'll bake something for you myself, and let you taste my craftsmanship." As Ji Feng spoke, he looked at the female manager: "Clean up a private room for me, I want to have some drinks with my brother." ”

"Brother Feng, the tables in the store are full. ”

"Then clean up my office, let's drink directly at the desk!" Ji Feng said, reached out and handed the car key with the Ford logo in his hand to a waiter at the bar: "My car is parked on the side of the road, you help me move it to the backyard." ”

"Hey!" the waiter replied, took the car keys and went out.

I glanced at the Ford Mondeo on the side of the road, and reached out to pat the big butt of the drama: "After you become a drama now, it's different, even parking has begun to call people." ”

Ji Feng grinned his teeth, and his face turned red when he was amused by me: "Haha, I'm a fart drama boss, this is all a small deal! If I want to be really a boss, I can't even find a partner!"

“……！”

The second floor of the barbecue restaurant, inside the office of Jufeng.

The desk in front of us had been vacated, and a few waiters were busy with it, and soon a table of food and drinks was filled.

"Come on, this first glass of wine, I salute you two brothers!" Ji Feng picked up the wine glass in his hand and looked at me and Shi Yigang with a smile: "Welcome to my small shop." ”

"You fat man is quite modest, if you are a small shop, the Gucci next to you will not be a jumping shop!" Shi Yigang grinned and drank all the wine in the glass.

"Brother Fei, I salute you for this second cup, I haven't seen you for so long, I really miss you!" Ji Feng touched my glass with me and drank it again.

After two glasses of wine, before I could eat a bite to eat, Ji Feng raised his glass again: "This third cup, let's respect friendship, friends like us who have been off the school gate for so long, still have contact, and have deeper and deeper feelings, there are not many people around me anymore, I wish our friendship a long time!"

"Cheers!"

After a few glasses of wine, the strangeness that everyone hadn't seen for a long time was instantly washed away, and I also opened the conversation: "Hey, fatty, I remember when you opened a barbecue restaurant at home, didn't you only make 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, how can you support such a big store now?"

"Hehe, it's hard at a glance!" Ji Feng poured me a full amount of wine, and then took a mouthful of cold food and stuffed it into his mouth: "When I first moved the store here, it wasn't on such a large scale, and I was there at the time!" Ji Feng said and stretched out his hand to point out the window, I looked in the direction, he pointed to the opposite side of the road, a small shop with only more than ten square meters, selling bulk dry tobacco: "Originally, there was another barbecue restaurant besides me. ”

"I know, isn't it Yanyan barbecue, it's an old brand, when I was in junior high school, we went to his house every year at the class reunion. Shi Yigang picked up a piece of cucumber, and then looked through the window, but found that the earliest store of Yanyan Barbecue had become a cheap supermarket, and he was stunned: "His family moved away?"

"It's not that I moved away, but I've been squeezed yellow. Ji Feng grinned his teeth, revealing a treacherous smile that was extremely inconsistent with his honest face:" When I first moved here, I didn't think about making the store so big, I thought that I would deal with a small barbecue stall and make some pocket money, who knew that the owner of Yanyan barbecue directly regarded me as an enemy, when I first opened the store, in order to open the customer base, the store has been playing specials, meat skewers or something are eight cents a string, and the beer is all according to the purchase price, but he is more willing than me to pay for blood, meat skewers are five cents, and the beer is sold lower than the purchase price, and I sang a duet, his family is an old brand, and the price is low, so in less than a week, I can't hold on……”

After listening to Ji Feng's words, I nodded with a smile: "Their family has been doing barbecue for more than ten years, not only has a good signboard, but also has enough funds in hand, if you fight a price war, it will be easy to drag you down." ”

"Yes, in addition to the price war, the boss also found a group of little gangsters in the society, who came to me all day long to make trouble, flipped the table when drinking, threw stinky tofu into my house in the middle of the night, and used all means, and then I couldn't stand it, so I closed the door. ”

Shi Yigang couldn't help but wonder: "You have been bullied like this, how did you turn over in the end?"

"Don't mention it, I also won the bet!" Speaking of the past, Ji Feng was not very embarrassed, and after drinking a glass of wine with us, he continued to tell the story: "At that time, in order to support that small barbecue restaurant, I used all my savings, although the money was not much, but it was also exchanged for my sweat beads, and after being squeezed out, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I knew that I would definitely not be able to do him in terms of price, so I began to think of a way in terms of quality!"

"Quality?" I looked at Ji Feng curiously: "In my impression, barbecue is almost the same, what quality is it?"

"The barbecue industry seems easy, but the layman eats the taste, and the insider looks at the doorway, if you talk about it in detail, it's really troublesome. As he spoke, Ji Feng snapped his fingers and counted it for me: "At that time, I investigated, our Anyang side, the barbecue is all from Jinzhou and Haicheng, and the taste and craftsmanship are similar, and even many barbecue masters in the store are hired directly from Haicheng, if they make the same barbecue, then in terms of quality, I will definitely not be able to do them, so I bought a train ticket that night and went straight to Jilin." ”

"Are you going to Yanbian?" After Ji Feng finished talking about going to Jilin, my first reaction was Yanbian, because the barbecue in Yanbian is unique, different from many places, and the popularity is still very high.

"Hmm!" the fat man nodded: " At that time, I was in Yanbian, about three months ago, I worked in the most dense store of barbecue restaurants over there, but in the store over there, the recipes are very strict, and the seasonings they used were thrown away by the store manager himself, I followed them for several nights before I found the place where they threw the garbage, and then as soon as they walked on the front foot, I went to the trash can to turn over the bottom material they threw away, and secretly studied it myself, and so on the way to Yanbian barbecue, I went to Yanji again, and when Jilin touched it almost, I began to run Qingdao and Dalian again, learning seafood barbecue, and after learning seafood, I went to Inner Mongolia to learn grassland barbecueDuring the period, I also went to Tonghua for half a month, Liuhe County and Huinan County have run all over, and then Xinjiang and Tibet, I also ran three or four times, and there are some hearsay, it is said that the barbecue is done well, or unique places, such as Guangdong, Yunnan, plus those places where Chongqing noodles are learned, I have also been there, before and after adding up, it happened to run for a year and three days. ”
