Chapter 719: Closest Relatives (2)
Bulgogi is one of Koreans' favorite and most commonly eaten meat cooking methods, from the most expensive Korean beef, to the most common pork belly, as well as pig offal, beef offal, mushrooms and vegetables, and even pork rinds, which Koreans put on a baking sheet. Pour a few glasses of soju and call friends to chat for a while. Therefore, barbecue restaurants in South Korea can be said to be a must-visit place for dinner, which has also led to the business of barbecue restaurants has always been full of friends.
A renovated and soon-to-be-opened barbecue restaurant in Cheongdam-dong, which was originally part of a chain restaurant group, but a month ago, the company to which the restaurant belonged was acquired, and all seven of its barbecue restaurants were closed for internal renovation. After more than half a month of renovation, the signboard in front of the store has been changed, and even most of the staff who originally served the store have been replaced.
It was noon, and the surrounding students and white-collar workers all came out to eat, and suddenly several luxury imported nanny cars stopped in front of the barbecue restaurant, which had not yet officially opened.
In South Korea, the appearance of a nanny car as a custom-made commercial vehicle means that there will be entertainers. Because most people do not use this imported nanny car as a family car, and corporate companies will not use it as a car to pick up and drop off guests. Usually the artist is because the interior area of the nanny car is spacious enough, which is convenient for placing more clothes and clothing, and can also provide a comfortable rest space for the artist, and can be used as a temporary dressing room and dressing room for the artist.
Three nanny cars appeared at the same time, which immediately attracted the attention of pedestrians and some curious people from the surrounding area. When the three nanny cars were turned on at the same time, and Girls' Generation and Zixi appeared at the same time, the people on the street and around who could see the outside through the glass immediately started to commotion. Some people thought that the sun was too fierce and confused themselves, shook their heads, wiped their eyes and looked again, and found that the people in front of them were indeed the international superstar Zixi and Girls' Generation, who is now firmly in the Korean girl group.
"Wow! It's Zixi, and Girls' Generation! The crowd whispered from whispering to screaming, from taking out their mobile phones to taking pictures to faintly planning to surround them.
After Zixi and Girls' Generation bowed slightly to the crowd around them who had recognized them, they all entered the barbecue chain that had not yet officially opened, and behind them, there were more than a dozen people, including Zixi and Girls' Generation's agents, assistants and stylists, and everyone happily entered the barbecue restaurant.
“OPPA! Isn't this rotisserie still open? Wouldn't it be nice for me to come in like this? "When the girls parked, they had already seen a sign in front of the barbecue restaurant that was closed for renovation.
"Don't worry, I guarantee that your meat will be indispensable today." Zixi smiled and looked at the clerks and store managers who had been waiting in a row for a long time, and asked, "Are you all ready?" ”
"President! It's all set. The store manager standing at the front bowed to Zixi and said. The manager is a lady in her thirties, dressed in a neat and modest professional suit, giving her a smart look.
"President?" The girls looked at each other, and Taeyeon asked in surprise, "Could it be that you opened this barbecue restaurant by OPPA?" ”
Zixi smiled and nodded, "What?" Can't OPPA open a barbecue restaurant? ”
Taeyeon shook her head, looked at the decoration of the barbecue restaurant, and said, "It's not that it can't, but I think it's weird." Actually, Taeyeon herself can't say anything strange, she just thinks that Zihee opens such a barbecue restaurant, and she feels a little incredible.
Taeyeon felt that there was nothing wrong with having Zi-hee open a barbecue restaurant from scratch, even though barbecue restaurants are the most common and common type of restaurant in South Korea. But because it is too common and popular, the competition between stores is also huge, and Zixi really doesn't like this kind of small profit.
This barbecue restaurant is actually the compensation for the Baek Chang-so incident in the first place, and Kim Young-so gave the entire restaurant group to Zixi as compensation. Therefore, after the takeover, the entire restaurant group was incorporated into the name of The Peninsula Hotels Group in South Korea for management, and of course, the seven barbecue restaurants under the restaurant group were taken over at the same time, and a comprehensive closure and renovation were carried out, and the original people arranged by Kim Young-so were dismissed and new managers were re-arranged.
This barbecue restaurant in Cheongdam-dong was the headquarters and headquarters of the restaurant group, but now the offices on the second and third floors have been renovated and expanded into private rooms for the barbecue restaurant. And Cheongdam-dong as Seoul Gangnam. The commercial center and wealthy area of the district are surrounded by many companies, and most of the people who come to consume are professionals such as white-collar workers, so the barbecue restaurant in Cheongdam-dong is also the most exquisite and luxurious decoration among the seven barbecue restaurants.
Zixi glanced at the store manager, who nodded imperceptibly, took out a folder similar to a "menu" from the counter and handed it to Taeyeon as the captain, and said with a professional smile on his face, "It's an honor for our restaurant to be able to entertain Girls' Generation before the store opens!" I wonder if the nine of you can sign our menu as a souvenir? ”
The store manager was very professional, opened the thick "menu" behind the darkest, pointed to a blank area and said, "I wonder if I can please sign your real name and English name?" In this way, the publicity effect of the barbecue restaurant is even better. ”
This barbecue restaurant was opened by Zixi, and the manager kept saying that it played a promotional role in the barbecue restaurant. Although she was a little puzzled why the store manager wanted their real names and English names, Taeyeon didn't think too much about it and happily signed her Korean and English names. After her, Sunny, Hyoyeon, Xiuying and others also signed their real names in the designated locations under the guidance of the store manager, intentionally or unintentionally.
Zixi saw the girls sign their names, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. Turning his head and nodding to Song Ki-beom, who was following them, the latter wisely beckoned to the other assistants who were also involved in the arrangement, and quietly entered the restaurant that had been prepared.
After the store manager and the youngest Xu Xian also signed his name, he carefully put away this special "menu", and the smile on his face was no longer professional, but more humble, "Please come with me, everything has been arranged." ”
Zixi and Girls' Generation followed the manager into the interior of the barbecue restaurant and found that it was not the usual table by table, and it was obviously specially organized. Nine tables with baking trays are arranged in a semicircle, and on the other side is a long table full of various ingredients, from Korean beef, pork belly, clams, abalone, squid, kimchi, mushrooms, rice sausage, lettuce, soycole, sesame leaves, etc., to rice, sauce, chili sauce, garlic, green onions, chili peppers, and dozens of other varieties.
Although the food in front of them had already made them salivate, Xiuying and Yuna swallowed their saliva even more, and their faces had already shown excited expressions, but this time they didn't move, but instead focused on Zixi, and finally moved their eyes to a very abrupt curtain behind the dining table and the long table, it was obvious that the curtain was used to cover the things behind, because they had vaguely heard the sound of someone talking in a low voice behind the curtain.
"Hey, hey! It turns out that OPPA has not forgotten, is this a surprise arranged for Tiffany? Hyo-yeon thought that he had guessed correctly, and smugly bumped into Zixi.
Tiffany was disappointed and disappointed when she heard in the car that Zixi had forgotten what day it was. But now that I see this arrangement, it is obvious that it is intentional, and it is not an ordinary barbecue at all. The beautiful smiling eyes had already narrowed, and there was no longer any grievance on her face, and she took Zixi's hand with excitement and asked, "OPPA really hasn't forgotten today's day, hasn't it?" ”
Zixi smiled and scratched Tiffany's Joan nose and said, "When did OPPA forget?" Don't you even have that little bit of trust in OPPA? ”
"Where do you have?" Tiffany was embarrassed to hug Zixi's arm and twist it, not minding her full, firm chest rubbing against Zixi's arm.
Zixi smiled and said, "But today's gift is not only for Pani as a birthday gift, but also a little bit of heart for the nine of you." ”
"Do we have a share too?" Sunny asked, pointing to his nose.
"Of course!" Zixi nodded vigorously, and then said to Song Ki-beom, "Are you all ready?" ”
Song Ki-beom and an assistant came to the left and right sides of the curtain and said to Girls' Generation, "This gift was carefully prepared for you by the council, I hope you can like it." Then he glanced at the assistant opposite, and the two of them pulled the curtain hard.
The nine members of Girls' Generation stared at the curtain without blinking, and their hearts were full of curiosity and anticipation for the gifts behind the curtain.
The curtain that was more than three meters high and seven or eight meters wide was pulled down by Song Jifan and his assistant, revealing the "gift" hidden behind. There are no expensive clothes and jewelry, no perfume bags that girls like, and no special gifts to guess. But when the nine girls saw the scene behind the curtain, the nine people went from opening their mouths wide and not closing them to their eyes full of surprise were full of tears, and then they covered their mouths hard, forcibly holding back and not letting themselves shout.
“Daddy!” Tiffany couldn't help it at first, and threw herself straight behind the curtain and looked at her with a smile, tears spilling down her eyes as she ran, but with joy and excitement on their faces.
“ABa! OMa! With Tiffany taking the lead, the other eight all ran behind the curtain with tears in their hearts.
At this moment, they have forgotten the mouth-watering food, and they have forgotten the tired body of hard practice, they only have their families in front of them, they just want to jump into the arms of their loved ones, and they want to be coquettish and have a good time with them.
That's right, what is hidden behind the curtain is the parents and family of the nine Girls' Generation people that Zixi spent a lot of effort to invite. Taeyeon's parents and siblings were picked up from Jeonju, Tiffany and Sunny's father and older siblings flew back to South Korea from the United States, and the other members' parents and relatives also came here from their hometowns and places of residence to give the nine girls an unexpected and unforgettable surprise.
Nine girls, nine families, divided into nine small groups, each telling their own recent situation or longing. Even the families of so-young, Jessica, Yoona and Seo Hyun who are close to Seoul have not seen their baby daughter for a long time. Jessica's younger sister Zheng Xiujing also took leave to arrive in the busy debut preparations, and had a good time to meet her sister who was also busy.
Zixi is emotional, and seeing such a touching scene, her nose also feels sour. Some of the stylists, make-up artists, and assistants standing behind him had been moved to sobs by such a touching scene.
Zixi whispered, "Let's go out!" I'll leave it to them here. ”
Then Zixi and his party left quietly, and there were only nine girls left here, chattering and laughing. Their parents always have doting and loving smiles on their faces, sharing their daughter's arduous trainee experience, busy artist life and joy when winning awards, even if it is a trivial bits and pieces, parents listen to it with taste, and from time to time they will ask "Did you eat well?" Did you sleep well? Isn't it really tiring? and so on.
