38. Chapter 38: A Completely Different Taste
Four hours ago, in the office of the Fengxiang branch of Yuqing Company on Fengming Street, Luo Xiaoxi continued to look at the report on the formation of the performing arts company while drinking tea, but his eyes glanced at the red mobile phone on the table from time to time, two days, since his last abusive text message was sent, Lin Chen has not sent a text message. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Could it be that this little cripple is angry?
Would you like to text him back and apologize?
But then he denied this idea, the lame man's psychological quality is very good, and of course he will not turn his face because of a word.
Luo Xiaoxi closed the report in front of him in a distraught manner, walked to the window and looked at the traffic on the street, on the north-south dividing line of Fengxiang City, Yuqing Company and Shanhu Group competed for a sense of existence, and the competition between them was very fierce.
There is not only normal business competition, but of course, there is no lack of small actions in the dark.
As a foreigner, Luo Xiaoxi has grown into a behemoth who competes with Wang Shanhu in just over half a year, paying countless hardships, wisdom and blood and sweat, and every step he has taken in the past has been extremely difficult.
But the most difficult moment is undoubtedly now, because Wang Shanhu finally realized Luo Xiaoxi's threat and has used all his resources to suppress her.
After the Xifeng Palace failed in the head-to-head competition, Luo Xiaoxi lost in the armed struggle, and finally the Xifeng Palace changed hands and became an annex of the Wangshanhu Causeway Bay Entertainment City.
Luo Xiaoxi now only has two physical industries, Yuqing Restaurant and Yuqing Restaurant, so he can no longer tolerate failure.
Now Yuqing Restaurant is crushed by Shanhu Restaurant, relying on normal competition has only a dead end, and can only play small actions, surprise soldiers and dangerous soldiers, because Luo Xiaoxi is already at a disadvantage, and it is difficult to win with dignity.
Luo Xiaoxi took out his mobile phone and looked at the text message sent by Lin Chen: "Don't smash Wang Shanhu's restaurant casually, we can defeat him through normal competition!" I couldn't help but smile contemptuously, normal competition? It's so naΓ―ve!
Luo Xiaoxi shouted the newly recruited bodyguard, Zhou Minghui, the overlord of Benlu Street: "Minghui, are you all ready?" β
Zhou Minghui was about thirty years old, with a slender figure, half an inch head, and looked very energetic, and put the folder in his hand on Luo Xiaoxi's desk: "Thirteen people, all of them are very good!" β
Luo Xiaoxi flipped it open and looked at it carefully: "I still feel that my strength is weaker!" β
Zhou Minghui said: "There can't be more people, no matter how many people there are, it is difficult to command, and it is easy to expose the target. β
"That's a lot of people, I mean there aren't many good players out of the thirteen! β¦β¦ Seemingly, I'd better participate! β
Zhou Minghui shouted: "Manager Luo, there's no need!" If you fold in, it will be a catastrophe for our company! β
"Hey, if Lin Chen can help, of course I don't have to go out!" Luo Xiaoxi sighed.
"Manager, Lin Chen seems to have been detained!" Zhou Minghui said.
"What?" Luo Xiaoxi was taken aback
"Because of illegal medical practice, I was detained by the Mingde Police Station on Mingde Pedestrian Street the day before yesterday." Zhou Minghui said: "There are related posts in the Mingde post bar on the Internet. β
Luo Xiaoxi turned on the computer, entered the Mingde post bar, and saw a post called "Xinglin Miaoshou turned out to be an illegal medical practitioner - the arrest of two experts from Renhetang", the post has a high click rate, and when it is opened, there are not many text introductions, but there are many photos, black and oppressive crowds, and people who are fighting with their heads broken and bleeding.
This scene Luo Xiaoxi is very familiar with, and it is all the scenes she has experienced.
In the next photo, Luo Xiaoxi felt unfamiliar, there were plastic tables and stools that were trampled on, and there were two seat cards thrown on the ground, the names on which were Lin Chen and Lu Shaoqing, and the scene of the police arresting the prisoner.
What happened after I left? Could it be that Lin Chen was really arrested?
Luo Xiaoxi took out his mobile phone and was about to call Lin Chen, but he saw the text message interface he opened, and the time of sending the text message matched the time on the photo.
Luo Xiaoxi put his mind at ease, if Lin Chen was arrested, he would definitely not have the leisure to text himself.
Some of the followers insulted Lin Chen and Lu Shaoqing as liars, but some showed up to say that the two were miracle doctors, and it was because of diametrically opposed opinions that the post remained on the homepage for two days.
It took half an hour to see the post Finally, Luo Xiaoxi finally determined that although Lin Chen was not arrested, the arrogant Lu Shaoqing was taken away by the police, and Renhetang seemed to be unlucky, and the Municipal Health Bureau gave an administrative warning and a fine.
The last photo of Tieba is Renhetang, with an area of more than 100 square meters at most, in a narrow and deserted alley, it looks extremely depressed, and it is accompanied by the photographer's text: "I stayed in Fenghua Alley for half a day, and found that this clinic did not have a single patient at all. β
Luo Xiaoxi closed the post bar, and was very resentful in his heart, not resentful of what happened to Renhetang, but resentful of Lin Chen's lack of progress, what is the future in such a small clinic?
After dealing with the Mountain Tiger Restaurant, I will take someone to smash the clinic! Luo Xiaoxi's hateful decision,
β¦β¦
At eight o'clock in the evening, Luo Xiaoxi changed his previous skirt, wore a long shirt and trousers, and wore sunglasses, and entered the Mountain Tiger Restaurant with Zhou Minghui first. But what made Luo Xiaoxi strange was that the lobby was deserted, only a few two or three tables had customers, and the other more than 100 tables were empty.
What's going on?
Luo Xiaoxi walked out strangely and saw that the billboard for free beer delivery at the gate was still there, indicating that Shanhu Restaurant was still implementing preferential policies for opening, and it stands to reason that business should not be so deserted!
Isn't the time right, it's not the most lively time yet.
Half an hour later, thirteen of Luo Xiaoxi's carefully selected subordinates also arrived one after another and occupied two tables.
After another ten minutes, there were still not many more people in the lobby, and even the waiters were a little listless.
Zhou Minghui lowered his voice and said, "Still don't move?" β
"That's not right!" Luo Xiaoxi said: "Their business seems to be too bad today, it shouldn't be like this!" β
Zhou Minghui looked around and nodded, "It's really not normal...... Is there an ambush? β
Luo Xiaoxi thought for a moment, then waved his hand and beckoned to the salesman next to him: "Hasn't your Shanhu Restaurant been full of customers since it opened?" Why does it look so deserted? β
The waiter said angrily, "You're not here to eat?" Does it have anything to do with you? There is a menu on the table, hurry up and order. β
Zhou Minghui was a little angry: "This is the attitude of your waiter?" Haven't you heard that the customer is God? β
The waiter turned around and left: "Eat if you want, don't pull it if you don't want to eat, don't put on an educational appearance, we are all people who have received nine years of compulsory education, there is no need to be educated by you." β
"It seems that there is a problem with the management of Shanhu Restaurant, if I were the manager, I would have fired such a bad guy a long time ago......," Zhou Minghui said: "It is still implemented according to the original plan?" β
Luo Xiaoxi shook his head: "There is no point in smashing some furniture, only if there are many diners, can there be enough influence and deterrence!" β¦β¦ It's just strange that the Mountain Tiger Restaurant has only been open for a week, so how can there be problems in management? Let's see how the dishes are! β
Several exquisite cold dishes came up one after another, adding a plate of shiny red stewed prawns, Luo Xiaoxi added a light shredded curd with chopsticks, and felt that although the taste was not very outstanding, it was okay, and another shrimp was peeled, which was not bad.
Is it really just a matter of management?
Just when he was confused, a group of people walked in at the gate, and the short and fat bald head in the lead was Wang Shanhu.
"Preferential measures...... I only know how to implement preferential measures...... We have free beer for dinner, how else can we get a discount? Do you need to give it away for free? Wang Shanhu taught the young man in a suit and leather shoes next to him as he walked: "Zhongliang, you are so unlucky, I will build such a platform for you, give you 300,000 dispatch funds, and a three-month profit-free grace period, and you will end up like this?" β
Luo Xiaoxi knew that the so-called Zhongliang was Wang Zhongliang, the manager of Shanhu Restaurant.
Wang Zhongliang lowered his head and said, "Master Hu, the strength of the other party's chef is too strong, you just went to the restaurant opposite to taste their dishes, how do you feel?" The appearance may be average, but the taste is definitely first-class, anyway, there is no such good taste in the entire Fengxiang City. β
"So......" said Wang Shanhu, "dig up their cook!" The big money is spent, do you care about some small money? β
"I've been in contact with their chefs privately, and they're basically all brought up by Pang Weili, and they're very loyal." Wang Zhongliang said.
Wang Shanhu waved his hand and walked straight into the back kitchen, but his voice still floated out: "What loyalty money can't buy?" Don't tell me the conditions, I'll give you a million and find a way to dig the chef back for me! β
Zhou Minghui lowered his head and said, "Mr. Luo, is the business of our Yuqing Restaurant better than theirs?" β
Luo Xiaoxi said: "I'm also strange, I think the dishes in their store are okay, but I heard them mean that the dishes in our restaurant are better, could it be that Pang Weili has found a better cook?" β
"Isn't it better, I think it should be the top, the chef who crowned the entire Fengxiang City should also be ranked in the country." Zhou Minghui said.
"Let's go!" Luo Xiaoxi stood up: "Let's go to our restaurant to have a look, it's true that Pang Weili hasn't reported to me on the business situation for a week." β
The people who smashed the store also withdrew one after another, and Zhou Minghui gave a few words to the leader, and these people disappeared into the flow of people and traffic, as if they had never appeared.
And Luo Xiaoxi has already entered the gate of Yuqing Restaurant, which is completely different from the coldness of Shanhu Restaurant, the lobby is full of hundreds of tables full of people, the noise is noisy, and the shouts of waiters come and go, which is really lively.
This Pang Weili really has a set, this business looks much better than in the past!
"Two, I'm really sorry, our lobby is already full, or the two of you go to a single room to eat, in fact, it's the same!" A waiter walked up with a smile on his face and asked.
I don't even know the big boss behind the scenes, this trotting hall is really eyeless, Zhou Minghui's face sank, and he was about to have a seizure, Luo Xiaoxi waved his hand and said: "A single room is a single room, give us two specialty dishes, I'll try it." β
"Okay, both please!" The waiter had already run to the back kitchen.
A mixed cold dish, a fried shredded pork with green chili, a lion's head, the three dishes Luo Xiaoxi chose are very distinctive, in such a restaurant for the public, there are no complicated high-end dishes, they are all simple dishes, or traditional specialties, such dishes are actually the most test of the chef's skills.
The appearance is good, and the taste is also very strong, Luo Xiaoxi's saliva flowed out, and he couldn't wait to clip a lion's head.
Although the taste is very innocent, there is nothing special about it, that is to say, it is very average, that is, the level made by ordinary chefs, in fact, it is a little salty.
"You taste it!" Luo Xiaoxi said to Zhou Minghui: "Then say your opinion." β
Zhou Minghui smiled: "I haven't eaten anything, Luo always thinks it's delicious, it must be delicious." β
But he still grabbed a pair of chopsticks, and then gave a thumbs up: "Fragrant, with diced lotus root in it, it's a little crispy, delicious!" β
"Where's this fried shredded pork with green peppers?"
Zhou Minghui tasted it: "It's fragrant, and it's spicy, it's delicious." β
Luo Xiaoxi was already a little disappointed, pointed to the cold dish and said, "How about looking at this?" β
Picked up a string of tofu silk, the same as Shanhu Restaurant, hanging an attractive oil, and after putting it in his mouth and chewing it carefully, Zhou Minghui frowned: "Cold dishes are actually not much different from Shanhu Restaurant!" β
Luo Xiaoxi said: "In this way, you can evaluate the shortcomings of fried shredded pork with green chili peppers and lion's head!" β
"Disadvantages......" Zhou Minghui finally realized that this was not the time to make a fool's ass, and tasted two dishes carefully and said: "The lion's head is a little salty, and the shredded meat of green pepper is not lubricated enough!" β
"Yes!" Luo Xiaoxi affirmed Zhou Minghui's opinion: "The saltiness of the lion's head covers the aroma of the meat, and the green pepper fried shredded meat, the smoothness of the green pepper is not fried...... Strictly speaking, these two dishes are no better than the ones opposite! β
Zhou Minghui laughed and said: "Then the reason for the other party's failure should be a management problem...... But it's weird! β
Luo Xiaoxi took out his mobile phone and called Pang Weili over.
Pang Weili, who weighed 200 pounds, was sweating all over his face, and the first thing he said after seeing Luo Xiaoxi was: "Oh, Mr. Luo, how can you sit in a single room, let's go to the hall!" β
Zhou Minghui said angrily: "Pang Fatty, Mr. Luo can't sit in a single room anymore?" β
"I didn't mean that!" Pang Weili wiped his sweat and said, "I mean it tastes better to eat in the hall!" β
Zhou Minghui reprimanded: "Nonsense, at most, I can only say that the atmosphere of eating in the hall is good and lively!" β
"In addition to the good atmosphere, the taste is really good!" Pang Weili looked at Luo Xiaoxi: "I don't know how to explain it, anyway, since this week, the food in our restaurant lobby has tasted surprisingly good!" β
Zhou Minghui sneered: "Pang Fatty, is your head caught by the door......
Luo Xiaoxi's heart moved, and he remembered the two landscape paintings given by Lin Chen, picked up the lion's head and said, "The two of you each serve a plate of dishes, let's go to the hall to taste it!" β
Zhou Minghui said with a smile: "The boss is wise, so you can expose Pang Fatzi's lies with a try......
There happened to be a table vacant in the hall, Luo Xiaoxi, Zhou Minghui and Pang Weili sat down around the table, and the waiter saw that the boss was personally accompanied, pouring tea and delivering paper one by one.
"The air in the hall is really good!" Zhou Minghui said with a smile: "Pang Fatzi, is it that a large purifier has been newly installed in the hall, and you are thinking about asking the boss for credit?" β
"Indeed, although there are so many people in the hall, the air is fresh!" Luo Xiaoxi took a deep breath: "Even if there is so much vegetable fragrance in the air, the taste doesn't seem to be mixed at all, the fragrance is the fragrance, the strong fragrance is the fragrance, it feels really peculiar!" β
Pang Weili said: "Boss, you try the food!" β
Luo Xiaoxi clamped the lion's head with chopsticks, and his expression suddenly became sluggish: although the saltiness was still a little heavy, the suppressed meat flavor hit his taste buds very distinctly, and the crisp lotus root seemed to burst between the teeth one by one, and completely dissolved the greasy taste of the meat.
If this lion's head is the handiwork of an ordinary chef in a single room, but here, it is definitely the level of a special chef.
Luo Xiaoxi sandwiched a kelp thread in the cold dish, which was clear and mixed with rich umami, particularly fresh and pure, and seemed to have the taste of sea water and sunshine, is this really the same plate of cold dishes?
Zhou Minghui saw Luo Xiaoxi close her eyes, and could even clearly see tears flowing from the corners of her eyes, he couldn't help but be surprised, stretched out his chopsticks and took a piece of shredded meat from the green chili fried shredded pork and put it in his mouth, this, this ...... Is this really the same dish?
Zhou Minghui looked at the fried shredded pork with chili pepper in surprise? How did it suddenly become so delicious, the gravy is so full, the spicy flavor is strong but just right to enhance the sensitivity of the taste buds, and the fresh fragrance is ecstatic!
What the hell is going on?
Pang Weili looked at the shock on Luo Xiaoxi and Zhou Minghui's faces with a calm face: "How is it, does it taste the same as in a single room?" β
"It's different!" Zhou Minghui said excitedly: "It's definitely different, the gap is too big, it's just the difference between heaven and earth!" β
"A world of difference!" Luo Xiaoxi corrected lightly, but asked Pang Weili again: "Have you found the reason?" β
Pang Weili shook his head: "I don't know, but the chef in the store thinks that this is a change in the leyline, and our store is lucky to catch up with the good qi vein!" β
"Good pulse?" Luo Xiaoxi frowned: "Can you stop talking like this?" β
Pang Weili said: "Yes, the chef's words are almost a joke, but I have consulted with experts, of course, it is very secret, this is a secret in our store, I will never reveal it...... The so-called qi pulse is nothing more than the sudden production of a large number of negative ions in a certain area, and negative ions are very beneficial to people's physical health, and can also clearly improve people's perception of the outside world. Because the amount of negative ions produced varies from region to region, there is a huge difference in the taste between the private room and the lobby! β
Zhou Minghui asked: "You mean that the taste of the food has not changed, it has become our ability to perceive the taste!" β
Pang Weili knocked on next Zhou Minghui: "After following Mr. Luo for a long time, you fool has become smart!" β
Luo Xiaoxi pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is the biggest secret of our Yuqing Restaurant, and no one can reveal it to the outside world. In addition, Shanhu Restaurant may have to poach chefs from us with a high salary recently, Lao Pang, you also have to do a good job of coping with it! β
Pang Weili smiled: "Don't worry, the chefs are not stupid, they are not bullshit when they leave our restaurant, Wang Shanhu can't dig it up at all!" β
"Okay, you're busy!" Luo Xiaoxi said: "Remember to report more work to me, this time I organized a good manpower to enter the Mountain Tiger Restaurant, if it weren't for their business, I would have smashed it!" β
Pang Weili said with a bitter face: "I called you two days ago to report, but you hung up on me, so I don't dare to trouble you!" β
"Learn a lesson in the future, when I have a bad temper, you choose another time to call me!" Luo Xiaoxi patted Pang Weili on the shoulder: "This time we are lucky, but you can't sit back and enjoy it, we must fully transform this luck into our strength." β
"Don't worry, boss, I will definitely work hard!"
Luo Xiaoxi said to Zhou Minghui: "Okay, let's go!" β
"The boss will wait a while, let me eat all these dishes, it's so delicious!" Zhou Minghui took the plate and pulled the vegetables into his mouth.
After a while, Zhou Minghui ate almost all three dishes, patted his stomach and asked, "Are we still going to smash Renhetang?" β
Luo Xiaoxi said: "Of course I go!" β
Checking out, I got on a black Jetta and drove straight to the east, without looking for another person, because Renhetang was just a helpless medical center, and there was no defense, and the destructive energy of two people was enough.
Fenghua alley is very narrow, the car naturally can't drive in, Zhou Minghui also parked the car on the side of Fengming Street.
Luo Xiaoxi looked at the dozens of various cars parked on the side of the road, and said suspiciously: "There are really a lot of cars here!" β
After entering the alley, he found that the black hole was very deserted, Zhou Minghui said: "The clinic is open here, is the business likely to be good?" β
Luo Xiaoxi said: "Yes, so it's very boring to smash such a small shop that doesn't even have people!" β
