Chapter 239: Li Restaurant
In the next two weeks, Li Yichen and the five of them came to Qingsi Culinary Academy again, and practiced alone without the guidance of Qian Haoyang.
In order to publicize, Wang Gaoming edited a 30-second practice video for Li Yichen and the five of them, and asked them to post it on their social accounts.
"It's serious."
"Really dedicated!"
"The restaurant industry is really super tired."
"Director Wang's variety show is too attentive."
"I want to eat it, it's so handsome!"
These five 30-second short videos successfully aroused the expectations of fans and attracted fans to leave messages.
On the official website of "Li Restaurant", the recording schedule of the show has been released, a total of five weeks, three days a week.
Since the announcement of the recording schedule of the show, the number of viewers who have made reservations has been increasing rapidly every day, and the rate of being selected has been as low as less than one in 1,000.
β¦β¦
The rain was slightly cool, and the mist was like a veil.
On the afternoon of March 31, Li Yichen and the five of them followed the program team to Guangzhou-Hong Kong to make final preparations for the recording of "Li Restaurant".
"It's been a long time since I've been here."
Coming to Guangzhougang and looking at the familiar scenery around him, Li Yichen sighed a little.
"The Island Cabin" ended recording at the beginning of November last year, and before you know it, nearly five months have passed.
Unexpectedly, five months later, the restaurant where they ate at the beginning has now become their own operation.
Li Yichen didn't know if fate would play tricks on people, but he knew that Wang Gaoming would really toss people.
This kind of program is really something that Wang Gaoming can come up with and put into action.
"Where are we going now?"
Li Yichen asked Wang Gaoming.
"Go to the staff dormitory, the program team rented a house for you, not far from the restaurant, where you lived during the recording of the show."
Wang Gaoming looked at the gloomy sky and said with a smile: "Today's weather is really good, as if welcoming our arrival." β
"Director Wang, you're not sick, are you...... How to talk nonsense. β
Li Yichen doubted, normal people, who likes cloudy days.
"Really, don't you think this kind of weather is especially suitable for eating fried chicken?"
"I don't think it's ......"
"Do you want to be hit by a camera?"
"Heh......"
Li Yichen smiled disdainfully, if he really fought, ten thousand Wang Gaoming were not his opponents.
"Please recognize your current identity, Store Manager Li!"
Wang Gaoming saw that Li Yichen showed contempt for himself, and said angrily: "I am a representative sent by the head office to inspect, and you ...... Just the owner of the restaurant. β
ββ¦β¦β
Li Yichen was stunned for two seconds, but he didn't expect Wang Gaoming to play role-playing with him, and he was directly embarrassed, which was really naΓ―ve.
"What kind of representative are you, how come I've never heard of a head office?"
"Heh, I don't understand, the head office is unattainable for you, a small store manager...... In short, you just need to remember one thing, I am a representative sent by the head office, the status is noble, and your attitude is better! β
"Childish, play by yourself."
Li Yichen ignored Wang Gaoming, and turned his head to look at Chen Ruhua and Ye Linsen, who couldn't help but laugh beside him.
"Ahem...... You also heard it, what about me, I'm the manager of Li Restaurant, but I don't have any rights, although you are my subordinates, employees, but, I don't want you to be afraid of me because of my identity, I hope we can maintain a horizontal relationship, not a vertical relationship, understand? β
"Oh...... Good. β
Chen Ruhua smiled and nodded, trying to digest this sudden setting.
They quickly calculated in their hearts how many people they could rank in Li Restaurant according to such a class system.
First of all, the highest status must be the representative of the mysterious head office, Wang Gaoming, representative Wang.
followed by the manager of Li Restaurant, Li Yichen, and Manager Li.
Wu Xiayong felt that he could rank third, because he was Li Yichen's assistant chef and the closest person to Li Yichen.
And Chen Yihua and Ye Linsen both felt that they could rank third, because they were both in charge of the lobby, and it was not too much to be a lobby manager.
So the result is self-evident, Peng Cheng, who volunteered to become a dishwasher, is undoubtedly the lowest level under this class system, a slave-like existence.
Thinking about it this way, this setting was immediately accepted by the vast majority of people.
Only Peng Cheng began to regret his openness at the beginning, but it was too late.
The group chatted happily and arrived at the staff dormitory by car.
The staff dormitory is decent, with three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms, but it is better to be clean and tidy, with furniture and kitchenware.
After visiting the staff dormitory, everyone was about to guess the right to choose the ownership of the master bedroom, but Wang Gaoming directly told everyone that they could not sleep in the master bedroom, which was reserved for guests who might come in the future, that is to say, Li Yichen and the five of them could only divide into two guest rooms.
This made the five of them lose their desire to guess boxing, and they humbly divided the room with each other.
Li Yichen, Wu Xiayong and Peng Cheng are in one room.
Chen Yihua and Ye Linsen are in the same room.
It happened to be divided into a kitchen group and a lobby group.
"Shall we eat first? Still is? β
After dividing the room, Wu Xiayong asked, it was almost dark outside at this time.
"Let's order takeout......"
Li Yichen proposed, he just checked the refrigerator in the kitchen, there was nothing in it, and then went out to buy ingredients and came back to cook it by himself, it was too time-consuming.
"Representative Wang, is our meal out of the production fee?"
"Today is, but from tomorrow onwards, all your expenses will be included in the operating costs of Restaurant Li."
"What about our start-up capital? What should I do if I don't have money to buy vegetables at the vegetable market tomorrow? β
"Start-up capital...... The head office can lend you 5,000 first, but after five weeks, you have to pay back 40,000 yuan to the head office. β
"Forty thousand?!"
Li Yichen was shocked.
"Borrow 5,000 to repay 40,000! Representative Wang, you're going to go to jail! β
Wang Gaoming felt that Li Yichen was really not easy to fool, so he could only explain: "The 40,000 yuan includes the principal and interest, rent, water, electricity, gas, etc., ......"
"It's not open, this restaurant is not open......"
Li Yichen knew that there was no point in theorizing with Wang Gaoming, so he got up directly, made a gesture to leave, and gave Chen Yihua a look at them, and motioned for them to hold him.
It's just that Chen seems to spend the four of them like a blank sheet of paper, where have they seen the show's leader quarreling with the director, staring at each other with big eyes, and they are too frightened to speak.
Li Yichen had no choice, so he could only deliberately pick the direction of the photographer to get in the way, creating the illusion that he wanted to go but didn't succeed.
"And how much do you think is appropriate?"
Wang Gaoming said with a smile.
"10,000 ......"
"It's impossible, it's too little, so let's do it, I don't want you to pay back the starting money, thirty-five thousand."
