Chapter 308: Ribbon Cutting and Opening
On the day of the opening of "Congshanzhai", because it was a weekend, Liu Kewei and Duan Shanshan did not go to the company to work overtime, leaving Che Guanglong on duty in the studio, and they and Cai Pingping, Ruoying, and Rao Hong drove to the tea house early in the morning.
As a novice driver who had just learned to drive, Liu Kewei's driving rights were unanimously deprived by the other three.
Although she got her driver's license on the same day, Rao Hong often drove when she was in China, and the steering wheel was handed over to her, so everyone was more relieved.
As for Liu Kewei, let's find an opportunity to practice more. With his current driving skills, as long as there are other options, it is basically not his turn to drive.
A car with five people is just fully loaded, but fortunately, Duan Shanshan sat in the passenger seat, Liu Kewei, who was a little thinner than him, next to Ruoying and Cai Pingping, two very slender girls, and the three of them were not too crowded in the back row.
When the new store opens, if it is in the Celestial Empire, firecrackers are inevitable, and if it is in the south of the Celestial Empire, it is estimated that there will be a lion dance show.
There are also firecrackers in South Korea, but they are rarely set off, and most of them are children, not to mention lion dances. Following the local customs, Congshanzhai quietly opened in such a low-key and unassuming atmosphere.
But it can't be said that there was no celebration at all, and Zhao Minlong, who arrived one step earlier, got a red ribbon printed with the Chinese character "Congshanzhai" and Korean to prepare it out of nowhere. When Liu Kewei and the others arrived, he took out the ribbon that was more than ten meters long, and asked the two women from the original bar to pull one by one, saying that he wanted Liu Kewei and others to have a tailoring ceremony.
I don't know if it was Zhao Cangting's idea, or Zhao Minlong's own idea.
This is probably the first time in Liu Kewei's life that he has cut the ribbon - the opening of the previous threesome studio did not arrange any celebrations at all, so he was quite happy. immediately pulled Duan Shanshan, Zhao Minlong and the three ladies to cut the ribbon together.
The staff who stayed behind in the bar stood on the side to watch the ceremony, which also attracted some passers-by to stop and look.
There are several large and small flower baskets at the door of the tea house, and this kind of opening flower basket is the real "flower basket", not the "rice flower basket" that Duan Shanshan saw in the lobby of S.M. before. The latter is usually a fan support for acting stars, which is quite different from ordinary flower baskets.
The largest and most eye-catching flower basket was naturally sent by Zhao Cangting, followed by the power of the special minister, Neople company Zuò Jin Zongze, etc., Girls' Generation also jointly sent a flower basket, and surprisingly, Jin Xiche and F(X), who don't have too many friendships, also sent one each-the former is in the name of a private person, and the latter is estimated to be arranged by Song Qian or Krystal.
On Song Qian's side, Taeyeon once mentioned that she also wanted to get some tea, and Liu Kewei sold it at that time. Yesterday before the opening of the tea house, Liu Kewei remembered this matter, so he asked Jin Yanping to tell Song Qian to welcome her to choose the tea she liked, and gave the specific address of the tea house.
As for Krystal, he also came to eat dumplings that day, but he hid behind his sister and a group of sisters' seniors, and although he didn't communicate much, he had a good time eating that meal.
As a pure R&D team with no official contacts and entertainment, it is already very unexpected to have these friends to cheer.
Six or seven flower baskets were placed on both sides of the gate, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony was not too shabby.
After cutting the ribbon, Rao Hong went to open the door of the store.
For Liu Kewei and Duan Shanshan, it was the first time they saw the appearance of the tea house after the decoration, and Duan Shanshan even returned to this place for the first time.
In the outermost hall, there is a circle of semi-enclosed sofa booths against the wall, and in the center is the scattered seating area, and then there is the box and tea art exhibition hall, and the bar counter is next to the booth area outside the box.
At this time, a few curious passers-by also walked into the store and tried to order some tea restaurant-style food.
Liu Kewei and others went straight into the tea art exhibition hall, which is also the largest room in the tea house, with various packaged tea leaves in the closets on both sides, as well as some ceramic tea utensils of various styles.
Then I went to the box again, one box is the style of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, you have to take off your shoes when you enter the room, there is a low table in the center, and the seat is only the backrest and the armrest on the left side, which can be used to sit on knees or cross your knees. It is estimated that not many people can get used to this style in the Celestial Empire, but it is a common thing for Koreans and Japanese people who are used to sitting on the floor.
In the other box, there is Ming and Qing style furniture, two square tables and eight Taishi chairs, which can be put together as long tables or split into two places, and the people of the Celestial Empire who are not used to sitting on the ground will definitely feel very cordial when they see it.
I heard that the tea house invited a Hong Kong chef who would serve some of the food from the Hong Kong-style tea restaurant, Duan Shanshan deliberately rushed over without breakfast, so he said hello to others and went to the scattered area outside alone to eat like an ordinary customer.
At first glance at the menu, the greasy Cantonese snacks have basically been eliminated, and they are mainly light steamed products such as barbecued pork buns, shrimp dumplings, custard buns and a variety of casserole porridge, as well as various rice rolls, but also retain some classic roast meat and corresponding roast meat sets.
Duan Shanshan ordered egg sausages, barbecued pork buns and seafood porridge, and it didn't take long for the waiter in the store to deliver them one by one. The waiter had seen him cut the ribbon before, and knew that he should also be one of the shareholders, at least the relatives of the shareholders, so his attitude was also very kind.
Although he had never stayed in Guangdong Province, he had eaten a lot of Cantonese snacks in Lucheng and Shencheng, and at this time, he couldn't help but move his index finger when he smelled the familiar fragrance.
Just as he was about to enjoy it, his mobile phone suddenly rang, and when he took it out, it was Jin Yanping calling.
"I'm Duan Shanshan, what's the matter, I'm going to eat here......
Licking his lips, Duan Shanshan hurriedly asked as he endured the gluttony in his stomach.
Probably because the sound of him swallowing saliva was too obvious, and there was a crisp laugh on the other end of the line.
"Duan Planner, where are you? Sunny and Pani and I have a little time here, isn't your tea house open today?
"Oh, it's Taeyeon-se, I'm at the tea house. If you want to come, of course it's convenient, do you know the address?"
"Yes, then we'll go over now, and don't disturb your dinner, we'll see you later. ”
Taeyeon laughs and hangs up.
I don't know where they came from, it definitely won't be near the S.M. company, and only ten minutes or so later, Duan Shanshan's mobile phone rang again.
He hadn't even finished the breakfast he had ordered.
"We've arrived at the door of your tea house, where are you?"
"Wait, you wait. ”
Duan Shanshan said this first, and then covered the phone and called the nearby waiter over.
"Help me get these things to box two. ”
After speaking, he got up and went to find Liu Kewei and them, only to find that they were all in the tea art exhibition hall, watching Cai Pingping make tea. As soon as Duan Shanshan told Taeyeon and the others about coming over, Liu Kewei asked Cai Pingping to prepare and show Taeyeon and the others later.
Cai Pingping frowned, she came to the door on the first day of opening, are you really so familiar with the relationship with others?
She had heard that she had eaten dumplings in their apartment when she was young, and she was still a little suspicious, but now that everyone has arrived at the door, she can only accept this fact.
Liu Kewei, Duan Shanshan, and Ruoying took a step first, and didn't see Cai Pingping's obviously unhappy expression on her face.
As the shareholder representative of the tea house, Liu Kewei personally went to the door to greet Taeyeon and the others, while Duan Shanshan and Ruoying went to the box to wait.
After entering the box, Duan Shanshan sat down next to the breakfast he had eaten halfway through, and then replied to Taeyeon that Liu Kewei had gone to greet them, and he would just follow him later.
A few minutes later, Liu Kewei led three girls with baseball caps walking with their heads bowed into the box, followed by Jin Yanping.
"yes, didn't you say that you sell tea? why did I come in and see a lot of people eating outside, and Duan, too!"
Taking off her hat, Taeyeon looked at the food in front of Duan Shanshan and asked curiously.
"Because the store is a bit bigger, we also do some tea restaurant business. Duan Shanshan put down the chopsticks in his hand, greeted the four guests, and then replied.
"Well, the chef is still from Hong Kong, and the taste should be quite authentic, if you are hungry, you might as well try it. Liu Kewei was also on the side.
"Is that really possible?" Taeyeon couldn't help but smile, "We just ate something a few hours ago, and we're really hungry now......"
I thought it would be just a cup of tea at most, but I didn't expect to have a meal?
Wakazakura on the side cooperated tacitly and stuffed two menus in time, one for Jin Yanping. The other was handed to Taeyeon.
Under Ruoying's introduction, several people more or less each ordered some food, and Liu Kewei and Ruoying also chose a few things to eat by the way.
Because of Rao Hong's care, there was no waiter in the box, so Ruoying made a cameo appearance as a waiter, wrote down the things ordered by several people in the memo on her mobile phone, and then left the box to order food.
While waiting for the meal, Taeyeon and the others used their mobile phones to take certification photos as usual, and then sent the prepared signed photos, and Liu Kewei said that he would definitely find some beautiful frames to put them on, and then hang them in the most eye-catching position in the tea house hall.
It didn't take long for the things they ordered to be delivered one by one.
The three curiosities of the Foodie Legion are comparable to those of cats, and each of them not only eats what they ordered, but also picks a spoonful from the bowl of the other two from time to time.
"This one is delicious!"
"Yes, that's right. ”
"It feels different from the roast duck in the imperial capital, but it is not inferior at all. ”
Surprisingly, the roast goose is praised by Taeyeon, Sunny, and Tiffany.
Therefore, even Koreans do not necessarily accept only light food.
For the foodie army who has already experienced the baptism of food in the Celestial Empire, the most respected thing was roast duck before, and now there is another roast goose.
P.S. was indeed a loyal fan of roast duck when he was young, not only did he say it many times on the show, but when they went to the imperial capital to participate in the recording of the Jiangsu Spring Festival Gala a while ago, Yuri's scarf also sent a few certified photos of roast duck.
Happy New Year, everyone, by the way, tomorrow's Jiangsu Taiwan Spring Festival Gala, there will be Uncle Bird and Shao Shi.
