Chapter 109: Zhonghua Building

After Ou Ziwen's matter was finished, Wang Kai continued to talk about his official business. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

As a former subordinate, Gu Liyang saw that Wang Kai was mixed with the company commander, and he was really happy for him. Especially Wang Kai has not forgotten his roots, and as soon as he came back, he knew that he was coming to visit him.

Although there were official reasons, the first time to rush over also reflected Wang Kai's intentions.

After talking for a while, Gu Liyang invited them to dinner.

After sitting on the boat for so long, Ou Ziwen and they were indeed hungry. As the governor of the Southern Province, Gu Liyang should also fulfill the friendship of the landlord.

Out of the provincial government building, they got into a new four-seater carriage.

This is an official car specially equipped by Daming for senior officials as a means of transportation.

Although Daming does not advocate private use of public vehicles, as long as it is not too excessive, the Discipline Inspection Department will not say anything. What's more, Gu Li Yang is off work normally, and it is reasonable to go to have some food.

When I arrived at the Zhonghua Building, the waiter with discerning eyes immediately greeted me. Pull the curtain and respectfully ask them to get out of the car. Then there was a special person to lead the driver to the dedicated parking lot.

This Zhonghua Building is a chain store in Daming.

Originally, Zhonghua Building was just a small restaurant in Pontianak, and after moving to the Ming Dynasty. Relaxed business environment, less competition. This has made the Zhonghua Building achieve unprecedented development.

And the introduction of modern business philosophy, advanced management mode. The performance of Zhonghua Building has risen gradually.

Like this chain operation, it is a new business concept advocated by the Department of Commerce.

Speaking of this commercial department, it is a new organization established by Daming in less than two years in order to improve the business management system to the greatest extent and promote business development. The role is the same as that of the industrial and commercial bureau of later generations.

Nowadays, Zhonghua Building has blossomed everywhere in Daming, such as Timor Island and Java Island, which have just been incorporated into Daming, there are branches of Zhonghua Building.

The person in charge of the Haihe branch of Zhonghua Lou was a Chinese manager, and he hurried to the door without waiting for Gu Liyang and them to enter the door.

"Oops! The ancient governor is here, our Zhonghua Building, it is really brilliant! The manager bowed slightly and said with a smile.

Although Gu Li Yang does not often come to Zhonghua Building, the manager can be fully responsible for the Haihe branch of Zhonghua Building, how can he lack eyesight? How could the governor of the southern province not know him? Even if you don't know what to do, you have to have a good relationship secretly.

However, Gu Liyang still abides by the rules of officials. Except for inviting guests to dinner, they generally do not come to this place. After all, the consumption level of Zhonghua Building is still very high! Even if Gu Li Yang's monthly salary is not low, it is not good to come here often to eat and drink.

Otherwise, in less than half a month, he would have to drink the northwest wind.

"After work, I'm not a governor. So you can call me sir! Gu Liyang listened to the manager's address and was slightly displeased.

Hearing this, the manager immediately changed his words and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" Mr. Ku. Are there only three of you? ”。 The look is natural!

Gu Li Yang replied.

The manager led them to a window on the second floor.

The decoration here has a strong ancient style, and it looks very elegant. The materials are made of bright yellow used by the royal family, which is faintly extravagant. It also just shows their identity.

For the manager's thoughts, how can Gu Liyang not understand.

It's just that he won't refuse with a businesslike attitude.

Because he came as an ordinary person, sitting here is not a violation of the law of corruption and corruption.

Sit in front of the translucent floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the street market below.

The steel rails with no end in sight are like pronely dragons. Strings of red lanterns, along the rows of street lamps, stretch into the distance. Ordinary people holding oil-paper umbrellas hurried home under the drizzle.

This kind of market atmosphere makes Gu Liyang a little obsessed.

From the mayor of a town to the head of a province, Haihe City has developed step by step to the current scale under his personal witness.

The first concrete building, the provincial government building, was also the first shovel of soil with his own hands and started construction.

Looking up, the provincial government building is being baptized by the rain, looking blurry and distorted. I don't know if it's because of his eyes, or if the water droplets in the glass window are too dense and blurring his vision.

This is the climate of Haihe City.

In July, in the north of the Ming Dynasty, almost all of them are in the dry season, and there is little rainfall. But Haihe City has a Mediterranean climate, with warm and rainy winters. This is the month with the highest precipitation, with an average of 80 mm.

As soon as they sat down, the rain began to fall outside, giving them a pleasant rain scene for free.

The craftsmanship of Zhonghua House is indeed not bad, and the dishes that come up are not only exquisite, but also have a unique taste. Like the signature dish here - plum cabbage button pork. The meat is soft and rotten, fat but not greasy, rich and aromatic.

When you put it in your mouth and chew it carefully, you will deeply feel the fragrance of plum vegetables in the pork belly and the mellow aroma of pine nuts. Such a match is just right.

The owner of the main Zhonghua Building was originally a native of Meizhou, and when he went to Nanyang, he worked as a junior in a local restaurant. He is a clever man, and often steals from his teachers in between servings.

Later, he went to the South Seas and made a living from it.

It's just that in terms of materials, Daming lacks local ingredients in Meizhou. Therefore, this taste is still slightly inferior to the orthodox plum cabbage button meat.

However, most of the Ming are immigrants. Even the Chinese, not all of them are from Meizhou. Many people have never eaten orthodox plum cabbage and pork.

According to the taste of the locals in Daming, the Zhonghua Building has been slightly changed in practice. made the plum cabbage button meat that was not orthodox became the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty.

Other dishes are also good, such as mussel shrimp roe soup, Shih Tzu milk, fried pork and mutton, corn and other unique Chinese dishes, as well as curry dishes from the Nanyang region, European salads, and desserts.

A table full of dishes came up, and Ou Ziwen and them all ate with red faces and oily mouths.

In particular, the local lobster of the Ming Dynasty is large and fat, and the meat is fresh and tender. It is their favorite food in addition to plum cabbage and pork.

By the time they had eaten, it was already dark.

Gu Liyang saw that Wang Kai and they had almost eaten, so he called someone to come over and settle the bill.

When I asked, I found out that this table of dishes cost 42 Chinese yuan.

The monthly income of the average wage earner in the Ming Dynasty ranged from 30 to 40 yuan. As the governor, Gu Liyang's monthly salary is 87 Chinese yuan. In addition, various forms of subsidies such as living allowance, housing allowance, medical allowance, and full attendance allowance add up to 120 yuan.

But as soon as I ate like this, I didn't eat half of it.

Wang Kai and Ou Ziwen were also secretly frightened!

Although I knew that the consumption of Zhonghua Building was very expensive, it was also staggering to this extent.

Of course, there's a reason for that.

Daming can't be independent of food now, so he is very strict with food. Like the rice and noodles sold in the market, if ordinary people come to buy them, the price will naturally not be high. But there are limits to this.

In accordance with the normal consumption of ordinary people, the maximum limit is set.

Commercial restaurants and restaurants like this do not require food stamps, but they have to pay food consumption tax. The more you buy, the more you tax.

And then the money goes to the consumer.

And when eating, Daming also has clear regulations. Eat as much as you want, buy as much as you want, and put an end to food waste.

If it is found that diners are wasteful, the restaurant can punish it in accordance with the law. For every tael wasted, a penalty of five cents will be awarded. When it reaches one catty, it is a particularly serious circumstance. Daming can notify the local police station and pursue civil liability in accordance with the law.

Such drastic measures have basically eliminated the phenomenon of food waste. At least on the bright side, it is absolutely invisible.

Gu Liyang: They eat so cleanly, and they also have scruples in this regard.

If the governor of a province takes the lead in wasting food, he is also imprisoned in the police station. Not to mention that the career is completely ruined, it will become a big joke that is laughable and generous.
