26. The second restaurant

Looking at the prince at the table, and then looking at Yinzhen and Yinxiang around him, I had to sigh in my heart, how could I meet these young masters so coincidentally, I finally came out for a trip, and let them stir up the yellow like this. Even sitting in this seemingly luxurious restaurant, I can't get the slightest appetite for a good meal.

The left hand was grabbed, and when I looked down, there was a small bag of dogwood in the palm of my hand, and when I opened the bag, there was a burst of fragrance, and my mood suddenly improved. Turning his head to Yinzhen and said happily: "With this, the Double Ninth Festival is presentable, thank you." ”

Yin Zhen didn't have any expression when he heard this, but just took my hand and wiped it a few times with a handkerchief under the table. It's just that I accidentally pulled the wrong person, in fact, I'm also very awkward, but I didn't expect him to care, that little boy is his younger brother and only 8 years old. Seeing the fifth elder brother sitting on the side and looking at us, he hurriedly withdrew his hand, put the dogwood into his purse, and sat upright.

"I didn't expect the fourth sister-in-law to believe this? Is this dogwood so good? It seems that the south pays more attention to this, but the northerners love chrysanthemums more. ”

Hearing Yinqi ask me, he hurriedly replied: "The fifth brother is right, in fact, there is nothing to believe or not, but since you have the heart to celebrate the festival, then you will ask for good luck." And this dogwood is produced in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the capital should be rare, according to the fifth brother said that the people in the capital buy chrysanthemums, is not a waste of the hawker's thoughts, he is not afraid of the difference between the north and the south to bring the dogwood over, I always want to prove to the world the hard truth that strange goods can live. ”

"The fourth sister-in-law still understands business experience?"

Isn't it, this Xiao Jiu is only a few years old, and he is already so sensitive to business, which is too ...... Could this be the legendary business prodigy? I asked him curiously, "I don't understand, just casually, do you understand?" How old are you? ”

"I heard you say that it seems to understand, if you don't want to say it, forget it, why care about my age." Yin Yu pursed his lips and turned his head away from me.

When the whole table was embarrassed and speechless, a clear voice sang outside the door: "A few masters in the private room, Wan Xianglou wishes a few masters of the Double Ninth Festival, step by step, ......" The singer has pushed the door in, hunched and stood aside, and with the fish of the guys rushing in, there are dishes on the table while singing.

I couldn't help but be stunned when I saw this frame, and after looking at it for a while, I couldn't help but smile and said: "This head of the hall is really stylish, no wonder Wanxianglou's business is so good." ”

"Yo, look, I just look at a few masters here who are dressed brightly and luxuriously, but I didn't notice that there is a lady sitting in this private room, and the little one is here to compensate you." The head of the hall said that he had made a thousand calls to me, bowed to the side and said to me and Yinzhen: "Thank you Madame for complimenting, this is just a small duty, Wanxianglou is a time-honored brand in Beijing, and several distinguished guests must have come to this signboard, which is the credit of my hall head." ”

"What is said to be yours is yours, and it is true to praise you." Seeing that the head of the hall could see at a glance where he should stand, who to talk to me, he understood that the legendary good hall head was really not in vain, and it was really worth the trip to grow this insight when he left the palace for the first time, and he was happy and said to Yinzhen: "Silver." ”

Yin Zhen eased down and glanced at Gao Wuyong, a piece of broken silver had been thrown into the hands of the head of the hall, and I said to him with a smile: "Good hall leader, today's banquet was invited by the fifth master, and it is only serious for you to stand there with the fifth master." With that, I had the heart to see his reaction.

"Well, thank you for your advice, thank you for this reward." After saying that, the head of the hall swept his eyes along the table, and quickly walked to the fifth elder brother, and said to Yinqi: "Fifth master, the table you have booked is all together, the small one will step back first, if the master needs it, just call it, and the small one will come in and serve immediately." After speaking, seeing Yinqi nodding, he bowed and withdrew to the door.

"Fourth sister-in-law, what do you mean by the head of the hall?" As soon as the door closed, Brother Ten asked urgently.

"Hasn't the tenth brother ever been out of the palace? First time in a restaurant? Then your fifth brother is really good to you, and I will follow the light. ”

"Where are we so easy to get out of the palace, today I still grind the fifth brother and beg my mother for a long time before I can take us out to play, sister-in-law, when we are like you? I only need the fourth brother to come out. As Yin Yu spoke, Lao Shi had nodded his head again and again, but Yinqi and Yinqi smiled and retained the image of the prince.

It turns out that it is so difficult for the prince to get out of the palace, so how did Yinzhen come out? I turned my head to look at him, but I saw that he had already lifted his chopsticks and put a small pastry on my plate, so he picked up the chopsticks and wanted to taste them. ”

Seeing that they all looked at me curiously, I sighed in my heart that the prince was also pitiful, this three-year-old doll in the capital should know something, it is estimated that only they will ask, put down the chopsticks and thought about it and explained: "There are people running in this hall, and there is a person in charge of running the hall, and that person is called 'hall head'." ”

Lao Shi sighed, probably thinking it was boring and started eating with chopsticks. Yin Yu continued to ask: "I heard the head of the hall say that this Wanxiang Building should be a time-honored brand in the capital, why does my sister-in-law praise him as more expensive than this Wanxiang Building?" ”

No wonder people make a lot of money, so young is not ashamed to ask and get to the bottom of it, seeing that his eyes are full of seriousness, he can't bear to spoil his interest anymore, so he said to him seriously: "Yinyu, the fourth sister-in-law was not good just now, and now I will tell you, should I apologize?" ”

"Okay, if the fourth sister-in-law says it well, Yinyu will definitely thank you."

"Hehe, thank me for not having to, it's just that it's too early for you to learn this, I just said you listen. In addition to Lu Xiangye's strange goods, there is also a price war, either to have the specificity and uniqueness of the product, or to have a price advantage, these two points can be one, if all of them are accounted for, the business will naturally flourish. Of course, this is only the initial stage of business, and it is good to have a lower cost than the market, but the most important thing in the capital is the rich, so it is better to take the aristocratic route, and if a business can make a year's profit from competitors in the same industry, it is more leisurely. And people's psychology is that things are scarce and expensive, if you are the only one to specialize and be expensive, then the business will always be yours, and you can't run away. After speaking, I took a sip of the teacup, and saw that all of them except Yinxiang and Lao Shi were looking at me, and hurriedly put down the teacup and looked at Yinzhen, although he frowned, he said to me: "You continue." ”

"The fourth sister-in-law has a point, you go on, what does this have to do with the head of the hall?" Yinyu looked at me intently and continued to ask.

"When you have those two foundations, the next thing is management and publicity. A business is a boss, but it is impossible for the boss to work hard alone, if that is the case, he is tired to death, and it is impossible to have great achievements. Under the boss, there must be a lot of capable people to help in order to make the business bigger and stronger, which is the way of management. As the saying goes, 'the hall is one, two and three are the masters', and the head of the hall is one in this hall, just like "the god in the temple, the daughter in the sedan chair, the county lord in the lobby, and the person in the coffin." 'How important do you think the head of the hall is?' Besides, this hall head can also help you publicize, but where you welcome the guests who enter the door, the head of the hall is the first face of this Wanxiang Building, if the head of the hall does not do his best to the guests, how many people are willing to be the old customers of this Wanxiang Building, but I am afraid that it is too late to offend people, this time-honored brand has already been demolished thousands of times 800 times. The hall leader just nodded and bowed, you are used to being a master and you will definitely not look down on it, but with his careful and sweet mouth in the eyesight, I don't know how many restaurants are staring at it on this street, and those who want to poach must be lined up at the end of the street. If I were the boss, the first thing I would do would be to smash the pot and sell iron and invite him to come over and be the master. ”

"Is the fourth sister-in-law going to do business?" Before Yinzhen's words fell, my subordinates were already grabbed by Yinzhen, and he hurriedly turned his head to look over and said with a smile: "I'm talking about playing, isn't this nonsense for the ninth brother?" Don't talk about it, okay? I'm so hungry, eat! ”

Grabbed the chopsticks and tasted the small pastries on the plate, which were sweet and glutinous and fluffy but not crispy, worthy of being a time-honored brand. There are three layers of green fruits, jujubes, walnuts and other dried fruits, and a small coriander leaf is stuck on the top, which is very exquisite. He raised his eyes and looked at each dish on the table.

"Why doesn't the fourth sister-in-law eat and just watch? Is there a problem with these dishes? Isn't it that my brother's order is not to the taste of the fourth sister-in-law? Yinqi asked me with a smile on his face, but his voice was very serious, and he called out the door lightly.

In the blink of an eye, the head of the hall had already shouted into the house, and sang in his mouth, "Here we are...... What does the fifth master command? Are you and ladies satisfied with what you eat? ”

I hurriedly interrupted Yinqi's words and said: "No, fifth brother, you misunderstood, I just sighed fifth brother, you are really an expert, the dishes of this meal are very authentic, it's just ...... Add chrysanthemums and it's really perfect. ”

Yinxiang next to me tapped my plate, and then looked at Yinzhen beside me before reminding softly: "The fourth sister-in-law couldn't get along with Dogwood just now, and now she wants chrysanthemums again, aren't you hungry, eat quickly." ”

I had to clench my chopsticks and didn't dare to say anything, so I took back the half of the thin flower cake and chewed it slowly.

"It's okay, cousin, my wife said that she wants to eat dishes made of chrysanthemums, do you have them in your store?" Yin Zhen actually asked the head of the hall softly.

The head of the hall was stunned and stood in front of Yinzhen and replied loudly: "Back to the fourth master, there are chrysanthemums in the past, Wanxianglou is renovated this year, and now there are so many things that can be ordered on the cabinet, and the small ones are reported to a few masters and ladies - chrysanthemum meat slices chrysanthemum soup, chrysanthemum steamed chicken chrysanthemum dishes, chrysanthemum cakes, chrysanthemum paste, fried chrysanthemum seedlings and chrysanthemum cups, these are all food, and what you drink is chrysanthemum wine, chrysanthemum tea, chrysanthemum soup and chrysanthemum porridge, I don't know what taste Mrs. prefers? ”

Seeing Yinzhen looking at me, I had to shake my head and whisper, "I really don't need to, I'm just talking casually." ”

"The fourth sister-in-law doesn't say it at this time, if she is not satisfied in the end, the fifth brother, I really invited this meal in vain, it is better to ...... This meal is considered the fourth brother, please do it. ”

"Huh? Oh, yes. "I didn't expect Yinqi to say such a sentence, I completely believe that this seemingly loyal fifth elder brother is actually the brother of the cunning Xiaojiu.

Yinxi, who had been silent for a long time, actually smiled at this time and opened her mouth: "Fourth sister-in-law, that's your family's silver, you talk about business in a good way, why can't you settle accounts at this time?" ”

Secretly glanced at Yinzhen, but he was not unhappy, but he didn't seem to speak, and he didn't know if it was really okay to eat this meal, so he whispered: "Only by opening up the source can we reduce expenditure...... If I make you happy, and I don't feel happy when I go back, then I'd rather be a money-scattering boy, the fifth brother can afford it, and your fourth brother shouldn't be able to afford it. ”

The brothers shook their heads and laughed, but Yinzhen called the head of the hall and whispered a few words in his ear, and finally said to everyone: "This meal should also be invited by me as the fourth brother, how can there be a reason to let the fifth brother pay for the silver." Don't be stunned, move your chopsticks, it's time to go back after eating. ”
