Chapter Ninety-Four: The Connoisseur

The train is not pushed, Mount Tai is not piled up, the Yellow River is not urinated, and the cowhide is not blown.

Not to mention that Li Fu put on new clothes and new shoes, his mental outlook was new, and he looked like an old man who was clean and neat. Let's just say that he only showed a little bit of the "groceries" in his stomach, and he easily convinced Hong Yanwu.

Because you must know that in the "red and white affairs" of the capital, the "tea shop" and the "kitchen shop" are indispensable to each other. The kitchen shop is behind the scenes, and the "tea shop" is in front of the stage, so what you do is what you do on the table, and it couldn't be more important.

In addition to the miscellaneous chores of the preliminary preparation, the specific process links from the praise, reception, presentation, concession, tea, fruit banquet, snacks, dishes, and soup after the guests come. They all have to rely on the "tea room" to coordinate the various places.

Don't look at the nominal "tea room" is only half of the protocol for red and white ceremonies, but the actual role is much more than the real protocol. Either place lacks a "tea room" and can't play.

To be honest, an experienced "tea room" can be called the mainstay and soul of the banquet process. The services they can provide are not even possible today, even the most famous "wedding service companies" can't.

Like today's ceremonial masters and wedding organizers, no one can achieve the same level as the tea houses of the past, from the official regulations to the folk "mother-in-law". Speak and act tightly, and the soup does not leak.

It can even remind the master's negligence in time, and can also "pull strings" (teach etiquette in advance) for those who do not understand etiquette. Not to mention the professional skills of setting up the tea stove oil table, pouring tea and water, renovating the fruit mat, and making Beijing-style sweets.

It is a comprehensive gap in cultural knowledge, human sophistication, etiquette and politeness, and service items. The quality of modern wedding organizers is much worse.

Therefore, Li Fu is not only a veritable etiquette master, but also a banquet organizer with great practical experience.

In addition, "Yanmei Building" is at the door of the Hong family, and he was often responsible for taking care of the Hong family's red and white affairs and festive meetings. I am very familiar with the taboos, preferences and courtyard environment of the Hong family.

What to pay attention to, how to get it, it's all clear. If he wasn't an expert, he wouldn't be an expert.

Specifically, Li Fu initially only talked to Hong Yanwu about the two issues that needed to be solved most preferentially. One is people, the other is things.

First of all, no one's family is a farmer, and you must first hire a cook to do things.

In the past, the Hong family opened a restaurant restaurant, and the "Yanmei Building" sent people to "go out for meetings". There is no need to send someone to "supervise the seat", which is naturally worry-free.

But now it's not going to work, the Hong family has long since lost their own restaurant. You have to invite someone else.

The craftsmanship of the kitchen is the real focus in today's social environment. If the guests don't eat well, it's the most embarrassing thing. How to make the banquet affordable and high-grade is the top priority.

In addition, because the Hong family has a big scene, there are many people to invite. It's not just a good chef, you have to have the experience to deal with this kind of big scene.

Otherwise, it will not only cause unnecessary waste to the main family. The chain will also fall off the scene, and the face of the owner's family will be lost.

So who to ask to do it, the right person is not so easy to find.

In addition, it is not enough to have a chef, but also to know guests, to present gifts, to give up seats, to pour tea, and to serve dishes. At the very least, a dozen people had to be hired to help.

In the past, it wasn't a difficult task, but now no one wants to serve someone for two dollars. Even if you are willing to pay more, it will take a lot of trouble to find enough people.

Secondly, the kitchen shops invited from outside only have people. If you can't get it, you can even bring the materials by the owner's family. Therefore, the pots and pans, tables, chairs, benches, as well as tea bowls and teapots, and even stove and cooking utensils to be used must be prepared by the owner's own family.

Like in the past, the stove was built by the hands of the connoisseurs, the ceremonial supplies on the ceremonial events were rented by the "wedding sedan chair shop", the pots and pans and cooking utensils on the banquet were rented by the kitchen shop and the rice village, the tea sets and kettles were rented by the "kettle tea party", and the tables, chairs, benches, and sets of utensils were rented by the "guys' seat shop".

In addition, there are also the "shed shop" responsible for building the wedding shed, the "Beijing Color Bureau" that specializes in tying colors, the "Beijing paper shop" that supplies ritual supplies, the "dumpling shop" that supplies "dragon and phoenix cakes" and the steamer shop that produces "happy steamed buns".

Even if it is a new-style wedding, rent a civilized wedding hall, and use all kinds of furnishings. The groom's Western-style dress, the bride's wedding dress, veil, beaded crown, head flower, hand flower, yarn-pulling children's dress, flower basket, float, Western-style band, and the "Purple House" of the "Velvet Hutong" can also be undertaken.

In short, no matter which one has its origin and its provenance. The main family only needs to pay for it.

But now these shops are long gone. But these things, some can be saved, and some really can't be saved.

If you want to do it, you have to worry about everything, and you have to go to the scene to catch and find it.

Not to mention the trouble, the key is that many things cannot be rented and can only be bought. The money must not be spent by the young and old, and it must be transported home, and these things must be calculated first......

As soon as Li Fu said this, Hong Yanwu was already stupid.

He never thought that he would have to do such a thing at home, there would be so many things involved, and the problems that needed to be dealt with would be so trivial.

Think about it, there are so many cumbersome things, and there are thousands of clues, which cannot be solved by being diligent and careful. There are so many problems that I can't even think of without experience.

If he is relying on his own financing, let alone decent, if he is not well considered, then he will have to make a joke about smashing the pot.

Fortunately, Li Fu was there, which saved him from his urgency and took on the burden of worrying about being tired for him. He is not stupid, how can he not think of Uncle Li's goodness? How can he not willingly give up the title of "chief dispatcher"?

So, on the spot, Hong Yanwu patted his chest with Li Fu, saying that everything was obeyed and obeyed.

And he also has his own strengths, that is, please rest assured Uncle Li, he has both money and people.

He said that he would buy whatever he should buy, and that the large round table for ten people would first ask him forty sheets, and that the rest of the items would be equipped according to this standard. Anyway, he is still worried about reopening the old shop in the future, and he will not waste as much as he buys.

There is also no need to worry about manpower, he can send someone to send a car to follow him when he buys things, and Uncle Li doesn't have to worry about the hard work. Finally, before it was time to do business, he promised to beckon dozens of people to come over, and let Uncle Li choose from them.

I was really happy to hear Li Fuzhi like this. One is that his biggest worries have been secured. Second, where can he not want to reopen the old shop?

The old man said yes again and again, and said that if that day really came, I would have to stand in front of the "Yanmei Building" hall to greet guests for a few more days.

Having said that, it is really "as soon as the connoisseur stretches out his hand, he will know if there is one". With Hong Yanwu's words, Li Fu came up with a good idea, which was economical and practical.

What Li Fu means is that there is no need to buy a large round table at all. You can buy a square table in a unified way, this kind of table is the most useful, and you can use it for daily use. And as long as you add a round table top and cover it, it will immediately become a ten-seater.

It's easy to move, it's easy to pave and remove, how cheap is that?

Hong Yanwu immediately raised his thumb and couldn't help but shout Gao Ming.

Because this is experience, people who haven't done it, you can't think of it even if you break your head. Even because of this, it stimulated him to have an upgraded version of the idea.

He rolled his eyes, and soon said quite excitedly, "Uncle Li, I'll get you three thousand yuan first." Don't buy a regular table, let's go to the carpentry shop of the trust first. You just pick a hardwood table for me to buy, huanghuali, rosewood, wenge I want, it doesn't matter if it's not one color, anyway, don't you have to lay a tablecloth......?

The second group has been opened, group number: 608640021
