Xu Qing looked at the landscape paintings, calligraphy and other artworks in Dingfu Restaurant, which should be true, but the price is not at the level of tens of thousands of dollars, thousands of dollars.

Over the years, Xu Qing has collected a lot of artworks, and his appreciation of artworks has improved a lot.

These artworks in Dingfu Restaurant are not ancient, they are all works of modern people, and there are several signatories Xu Qing who even knows who they are.

The lobby manager saw that Xu Qing had been looking at the decoration of the restaurant, so he took the initiative to introduce Xu Qing.

Xu Qing casually praised a good word, and the lobby manager hurriedly and modestly said that Xujia Restaurant is also very good and is a benchmark for overseas Chinese restaurants.

"Oh, have you been to the Xu Family Restaurant?" asked Xu Qing with a smile.

Xu Qing's question seemed a little impolite, but Xu Qing asked it in a joking tone, and with Xu Qing's status, it was not rude to ask the lobby manager this sentence at all.

The lobby manager also smiled: "I have a relative in San Francisco's Chinatown, I visited that relative last year, and he took me to Xujia Restaurant for a meal, and it felt good." ”

Listening to the lobby manager's tone, it shouldn't be lying, Xu Qing asked again: "Can you tell me more about your evaluation of Xu's restaurant?"

The lobby manager thought for a moment and said his impression of the Xu family.

After listening to this, Xu Qing nodded, except for some exaggerated words from the lobby manager, he generally spoke highly of Xu's restaurant.

After several years of development, Xujia Restaurant has opened more than 10 branches in the United States, and each branch has received good reviews, and some people even call Xujia Restaurant the first Chinese restaurant overseas.

In terms of turnover and income, Xujia Restaurant is not the first Chinese restaurant, but Panda Fast Food is.

However, in terms of the average quality of the meals, Xujia Restaurant can be called the first Chinese restaurant overseas.

Recently, Xu Qing has the idea of opening Xujia Restaurant to other countries, and Vancouver and Toronto are the places where Xu Qing wants to open Xujia Restaurant branches.

The address of the Xujia Restaurant branch is Chinatown, and this time I came to Vancouver Chinatown, which can be regarded as a visit by the way.

The group came to the No. 1 box, which is the best box in Dingfu Restaurant, according to Qin Tian, it usually needs to be booked half a month in advance.

Xu Qing believed Qin Tian's statement, and the scene he saw when he passed by the hall just now proved that the business of Dingfu Restaurant was very good.

At this time, it was the lunch rush hour, and Xu Qing saw that every table in the hall was full of people just now, and there were even many people queuing up or packing.

Of course, most of the customers are Chinese, white, and there are relatively few blacks.

Xu Qing and his entourage entered the No. 1 box and saw the decoration inside, it was indeed the best box in Dingfu Restaurant, and the decoration was quite luxurious.

In a box of several tens of square meters, there are 6 or 7 relatively expensive works of art, which should add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The tables and chairs in the middle of the box seem to be made of high-quality mahogany, and there are various expensive decorations around the box.

For ordinary people, these decorations are very luxurious, and to Xu Qing, they are nothing.

However, a Chinese restaurant has such a decoration, which is still very good.

Overseas, the vast majority of Chinese restaurants are at the bottom of the catering industry, and it is very difficult to become an upper-class restaurant, requiring strong funds and top Chinese chefs.

Overseas upper-class Chinese restaurants need authentic Chinese food, and those Western-style Chinese food that combines Chinese and Western food cannot be put on the table, and can basically only exist as fast food.

Funding is secondary, the real problem is that top Chinese chefs are hard to find, and even in China, there are very few top Chinese chefs, let alone overseas.

There are very few top-notch Chinese chefs who can turn a Chinese restaurant into an upper-class restaurant.

Xu Qing and his party had a total of 13 people, and the big table in the No. 1 box could barely sit down, which was slightly crowded, Xu Qing didn't want to divide it into two tables, so he let everyone eat at the same table.

Xu Qing and his entourage, all of them can eat Chinese food, Sophia, 5 bodyguards, and 4 secretaries have been with Xu Qing for at least a year, and they have been influenced by Xu Qing and have adapted to Chinese food.

And Qin Tian and Liu Feng are both Chinese, and they eat Chinese food every day.

Generally speaking, Chinese food is served faster than Western food, because Chinese food has a lot of dishes that can be prepared in advance, just warm them up before serving, or dishes that can be stir-fried in just a few minutes.

After waiting for more than 20 minutes, the dish began to be served, and after a few minutes, the dish was finished.

Everyone began to eat and drink, Xu Qing ate very seriously, and he tasted the quality of the dishes in Dingfu Restaurant.

Xu Qing tasted every dish, and Xu Qing had an evaluation, the top Chinese food quality, but it was worse than Xu's restaurant.

If Xujia Restaurant wants to open a store in Vancouver's Chinatown, it may form a certain competitive relationship with Dingfu Restaurant.

For Xu's restaurant's biggest competitor in Vancouver in the future, Xu Qing's current behavior can be regarded as knowing himself and his enemy.

When a person is immersed in food, time always flies quickly, and the dishes of Dingfu Restaurant can definitely be called top food, and after Xu Qing finished eating, he found that an hour and a half had passed.

After eating, they were ready to leave, and in the afternoon, Xu Qing and they had to visit Vancouver.

At this time, the door of the box was pushed open, and the lobby manager came in with a few middle-aged Chinese.

Xu Qing looked at the smiles of these people and knew that they were the senior managers of Dingfu Restaurant, and one of them was likely to be the boss.

The lobby manager happily walked up to Xu Qing and said respectfully: "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry to disturb you, my boss heard that you were eating in the restaurant and wanted to meet you." ”

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Now that I've met with your boss, I can go." ”

The lobby manager was stunned, this is not a routine! Normal routine should not be like this:

Xu Qing said yes, and then he introduced the boss standing behind him, shook hands and talked happily, leaving each other's business cards.

Now how is he going to answer?

Standing behind the lobby manager, a tall middle-aged Chinese walked out and said with a hearty smile: "Mr. Xu, hello, I am Chen Deming, the owner of Dingfu Restaurant, and I am very happy to meet you." ”

Xu Qing shook Chen Deming's hand and said, "Mr. Chen, don't care about what I just said, liven up the atmosphere." ”

Chen Deming hurriedly waved his hand and said: "How can I care, on the contrary, I am very happy that Mr. Xu would say such a thing, which shows that Mr. Xu is very satisfied with Dingfu Restaurant." ”

Although Xu Qing is indeed quite satisfied with Dingfu Restaurant, what he said just now was just a casual remark, and there was no other meaning at all.

Chen Deming said: "If Mr. Xu is not satisfied with Dingfu Restaurant, then what he just said is to refuse to meet, and only if he is satisfied with Dingfu Restaurant, Mr. Xu may agree to meet me."

The sentence just now, although there was no direct promise to meet, is another form of promise. ”

Hey, I'll go, Xu Qing was convinced, and he said casually, and Chen Deming interpreted this meaning.

No wonder some people say that a big man's casual words will be interpreted into various meanings.
