Chapter 187: See the Elders
After returning to Panlong Town with Gu Xingzhi and Gu Xiaowan, Wu Ming quickly launched his own plan, and Du Yutong had already helped Wu Ming do almost everything in the foreshadowing, everything was smooth, and soon Wu Ming's new restaurant opened.
This restaurant does not engage in publicity, let alone promotion, because 'Lao Tzu earns rich people's money', and all it relies on the connections of the Du family found by Du Yutong.
In order to name this restaurant, it was already a lot of work, Wu Ming thought about it, but he couldn't think of any good name, either it sounded too rustic or too vulgar, and in the end it had to rely on Du Yutong.
"Ask the Pavilion!" Du Yutong said.
Wu Mingyi frowned: "Wouldn't this be too jerky?"
Du Yutong smiled and shook his head: "The beauties pick up the cuichun and ask each other, the immortals move together at night, such a wonderful scene, I want to use this as the name of a restaurant, but it's a pity, I, Du Yutong, am a poor ghost, and I can't afford to open a restaurant, so I can only borrow the light of your boss Wu." ”
Wu Ming burst out laughing: "You girl, if you are a poor ghost, there will be no rich people in the world, okay, these two poems really have a bit of flavor, just look for you to say, it is called the Xiangwen Hall." ”
On the day of the opening of the Xiangwen Hall, Du Yutong invited a lot of famous guests, Huang Xiaomao followed Wu Ming to stand at the door to welcome the guests, and Du Yutong continued to introduce.
"This is Director Chen of the Municipal Education Bureau......"
"This is Director Song of the Provincial Publishing Management Office......"
"This is Director Gu of the Provincial Audit Office......"
"This is the senior chairman of the Mingming Group......"
"This is President Feng of Ruida Group......"
Listening to the thunderous names, Wu Ming had a feeling like a dream, these people are all well-known figures in this province, and he didn't expect that he would invite so many people to open a restaurant.
But it's relieved to think about it, you know, Wu Ming's restaurant is a small and fine high-end route, with a total area of about 400 square meters, and the box is larger than the hall, not to mention the money from selling the restaurant, just the decoration cost of nearly 10 million, counting the labor cost of the kitchen, this restaurant is also comparable to a golden restaurant.
Especially in the back kitchen, Wu Ming invited the dignified three-star Michelin chef Gu Xingzhi, don't look at Gu Xingzhi's reputation in the eyes of the public, but in these high-end circles, it is like thunder, Wu Ming even found that among these people who seem to visit here for the first time, there are more people who know Gu Xingzhi than he Wu Ming.
However, Wu Ming also played a trick and gave Gu Xingzhi the name, that is called executive chef, what is called executive chef, that is, if you are in a good mood, you can cook, and if you are in a bad mood, just sit in the back and stare at others cooking.
At this level, sometimes this brand is more valuable than his craftsmanship.
As for the other chefs, from the second chef to the ordinary chef, and finally to the small potatoes who wash the dishes and dishes, all of them are the original team members of the back kitchen of the five-star hotel, and this kind of preparation is definitely worthy of today's guest lineup.
For three days in a row, although Wu Ming's Xiangwen Hall was not full, there were always many people who came to patronize, in Du Yutong's words, you don't care how much money this restaurant can make you, in short, just by virtue of the popularity that this restaurant has gathered for you, it is enough for you Wu Ming to eat inexhaustibly in the future.
Du Yutong is right, in a few days, there are many more phones in Wu Ming's phone book, and these names pop up at random, they are all well-known figures in the province, and now they have become Wu Ming's friends.
Friend!
What kind of concept is this, Wu Ming will be able to pat his chest and say that this building is my buddy's house, and the hotel over there is opened by my friend, and that one over there...... Oh, that's the provincial government, it doesn't matter, I have a lot of acquaintances there.
This effect is indeed much more effective than making a little money.
A week later, Du Yutong suddenly found Wu Ming: "Wu Ming, I have an important guest today, can you accompany me to meet him?"
Wu Ming paused for a moment, Du Yutong had never spoken to himself in such a polite tone, but since it was Du Yutong who spoke, of course Wu Ming would not refuse, and patted his chest: "Okay, see, let's find a better restaurant, I'll treat you...... Hey, it seems that I opened the best restaurant in the whole city...... Hehe, that's okay, I'll leave the best private room for you today, how about it, it's big enough to save face. ”
Du Yutong smiled slightly: "When you are in the afternoon, change your clothes and dress up in spirit." ”
Wu Ming was a little puzzled: "Why do you want me to change my clothes? Can't I dress up like this? This suit costs thousands of yuan." ”
Du Yutong was helpless: "Okay, don't stay in the interrogation hall in the morning, I'll accompany you to buy a set of clothes." ”
In the morning, Du Yutong took Wu Ming and bought a suit of 10,000 yuan in the best shopping mall in the city.
Du Yutong was amused by Wu Ming's appearance: "You guy, in fact, you are already distressed, don't you, let me tell you, you performed well today, this suit is definitely worth the money." ”
Soon, it was time for Du Yutong to say goodbye, Wu Ming was wearing a brand-new suit, standing at the door with Du Yutong, and soon, he saw a boxy old-fashioned car driving over.
"It's coming!" Du Yutong exclaimed: "They came early, Wu Ming, hurry up and prepare." ”
Wu Ming frowned, wondering in his heart what kind of distinguished guests could make Du Yutong so nervous, but looking at the car they drove, it should be like that, this car looks like an old car.
Du Yutong glared at Wu Ming, and immediately guessed Wu Ming's thoughts: "Tu Lao hat, don't think about it, this is a limited edition red flag, which was done by the founding leaders back then, don't look at this car if it's old, you can't look down on it, ordinary people don't want to sit even if they are rich." ”
As he was talking, the car door opened, and Wu Ming saw Du Yujie at first sight.
And Du Yujie is still respectfully opening the door for the people inside.
Wu Ming immediately understood that it was none other than the elders of Du Yutong's family who came to be a guest today!
No wonder he would drive this kind of classic car that the founding leader sits, this is called low-key luxury, Wu Ming's legs and stomach trembled a little: "Yutong, why didn't you tell me earlier that it was the elder of your family, I didn't do anything to prepare......"
Wu Ming's voice was trembling, and Du Yutong laughed: "Stinky Wu Ming, let you laugh at me again, you know that you are nervous now?" Okay, don't worry, what do you have to prepare, I will help you prepare everything you should prepare, just be respectful for a while." ”
After speaking, Du Yutong pulled Wu Ming up, and saw a legal and eye-catching old man walking down from the car, Du Yutong called sweetly: "Second grandfather." ”
The old man smiled and nodded: "Tongtong, you little girl is getting more and more tricks now, I originally said that I would go directly to the provincial military district's cadre rest house to see my old comrades-in-arms, and by the way, I ate there at them, their chef level is also good, you have to let me come here, this ...... What's so good about it?"
Du Yutong smiled slightly: "You will know in a moment, this is the best restaurant in the local area, come, let me introduce, this is the boss here, Wu Ming, Wu Ming, this is my second grandfather, Du Qishan." ”
Wu Ming hurriedly bent down and bowed: "Hello Grandpa Du." ”
"Okay young man, you are not my grandson, you can just call me Mr. Du. Du Qishan said quietly: "Let's go, let's see what level this mutual inquiry hall is." ”
At this time, another person got out of the car, Wu Mingleng paused, and almost shouted: "It's Feng Long!"
Feng Long, Wu Ming's biggest opponent, actually came here in a car with Du Qishan and Du Yutong's second grandfather, which ......
No, no, this person's eyebrows do look very similar to Feng Long, but they are definitely not Feng Long.
Du Yutong hurriedly pulled Wu Ming's hand: "Wu Ming, this is the ******** of our city, Mr. Feng Hu Feng." ”
Wu Mingyi frowned, sure enough, he had long heard that Feng Long had a younger brother, who was the local ******** and Feng Long's biggest umbrella, no wonder Feng Long could run rampant in the local area.
This guy actually came over with Du Qishan, thinking that he should be a local magistrate who specializes in receiving this kind of senior officials.
The visitor was a guest, and Wu Ming also smiled and nodded at Feng Hu: "Secretary Feng, please." ”
The group walked into the private room of the Xiangwen Hall, and Du Qishan took a sip of tea: "Yutong, what is the relationship between you and this Wu Ming?"
Wu Ming was taken aback, he couldn't imagine that this Du Qishan came to the Xiangwen Hall, and the first sentence actually asked about it, Du Yutong squeaked: "Second grandfather, don't ask, we are friends." ”
"Friend, little girl, are you lying to me?" Du Qishan laughed: "When you laugh, your favorite poem is 'The beauties pick up the cuichun and ask each other, and the immortals move together at night', and said that you will open a restaurant in the future, called the Xiangwen Hall."
Now your identity, it is naturally inconvenient to open a restaurant, I see that Mr. Wu invested tens of millions of dollars to open this restaurant to fulfill your childhood dream, I'm afraid it's not as simple as a friend. ”
Good guy, this Du Qishan is really an old man!
Du Yutong's face turned red: "Second grandfather, it's really not...... Oh yes, here's the menu, second grandpa, take a look at ......"
"Okay, I eat the food cooked by the chef of Yuquan Mountain every day, and that's it. Du Qishan said: "You can just order food for me, by the way, young man, your name is Wu Ming, right?" ”
Wu Ming nodded again and again: "Yes, Mr. Du." ”
"Do you like our family Tongtong?" Du Qishan asked.
Wu Mingyi frowned, how to say this, although he and Du Yutong have a good impression of each other, and the two of them are already tacit, but now after all, they have not pierced the layer of window paper, if they are chatting alone with Du Qishan, it is easy to say, the key is that Du Yutong is by his side now, how can he be embarrassed to say this.
Wu Ming thought while looking at Du Yutong, but was surprised to find that Du Yutong was looking at him with expectant eyes, as if he was urging himself to give a positive answer.
My God, this little girl probably just wants to use this opportunity to urge herself to confess.
