Chapter 242: Tongfu Inn is Ready (Transition Chapter)

After Feng Quan was substituted, the Hamburg team playing at home still firmly controlled the initiative of the game. In the 37th minute of the second half, captain Westerman took advantage www.biquge.info of a corner kick to make the final score 4-0.

Bayer Leverkusen, who are fourth in the table, lost at home to the mighty Bayern Munich team, so Hamburg have consolidated their third place after winning this round of fixtures. It laid a solid foundation for the team to finally enter the European competition at the end of the season.

At the same time, since the start of next week will be the FIFA national team break, after the end of the current round of the Bundesliga, there will be a week of fixtures next week, and then the 27th round of the league will start on March 30.

――――――

On the second day of the Hamburg team's victory over the Augsburg team, Feng Quan, who came to the club's gym as usual to prepare for physical training, had just changed his clothes in the locker room when he received a call from Zhao Shijie.

"Hey, Daquan, the renovation work of the restaurant we are working with has been basically completed. Now it's time to come up with a name for the restaurant and decide when it will officially open. You can find a time this afternoon, let's discuss it together......" Zhao Shijie said.

"That's it, Brother Zhao. You go to Uncle Sun and his family first, wait for two hours, and then come to our club's training base, and then we will find a restaurant where everyone can eat and chat. ”

Although he had to discuss some related matters of the restaurant in the afternoon, Feng Quan still had no intention of delaying the training in the morning.

Just after eleven o'clock in the morning, shortly after Feng Quan had finished his last set of strength training, his mobile phone rang "at the right time".

"Come out, Daquan. We are right outside the gates of your club's training ground. Zhao Shijie said.

"Okay, Brother Zhao. You wait for me a little bit, I'll take a simple shower, and then I'll go over to you. Hanging up the phone, Feng Quan quickly walked towards the shower room of the gym.

After more than 20 minutes, Feng Quan, who had changed into a set of clean clothes, quickly found Zhao Shijie and Sun Jiaming.

"Huh? Brother Sun? Why are you the only one? Why didn't Aunt Liu and Xiaoyue come over? Although Sun Jiaming is actually just a "working boy" under Feng Quan, because he is even two years older than his father, Feng Quan calls him an uncle.

"Hey, you kid call me brother, and Brother Sun uncle. Then Brother Sun's son and daughter call you brother, and then call me uncle, isn't our generation a bit messy? Zhao Shijie said angrily.

"Haha, there's no way around it. Let's go our separate ways. Sun Jiaming laughed.

"Well, I'll see. Anyway, we don't have any blood relationship between us. By the way, Uncle Sun, why did you come here by yourself before you said it? Feng Quan asked.

"Oh, yes. The three of us can decide the affairs of the restaurant, and there is no need for a few of them to follow around. Sun Jiaming said with a grin.

Listening to Sun Jiaming's words, a thought flashed in Feng Quan's mind: it is really a very happy thing that he can be born in a "democratic" family where the whole family sits together and discusses before making a decision when a "big event" comes.

Thinking of this, the muscles on Feng Quan's face twitched unconsciously, and then teased:

"Uh...... Uncle Sun, it's a new era of the 21st century, can't you always be so machismo? Our country is now preaching democratic reform to the outside world, if you can't keep up with the trend like this, you will be eliminated by the times! ”

"I said Daquan, are you kid watching too much news broadcasts? Do you believe what they say? Sun Jiaming said with disdain on his face. Hmph, if they say the truth there, my grandfather and my father wouldn't have died so early......"

As soon as Sun Jiaming's words fell, Feng Quan immediately fell into silence.

In fact, it was not only Sun Jiaming's elders who were persecuted by the cultural/great/revolutionary, which led to their premature death. Even Feng Quan's relatives also suffered a great degree of persecution during those black years.

Because Feng Quan's grandfather (his mother's grandfather) Liu Mintang was one of the few people in the village who was "literate and hyphenated" when he was young, coupled with his dignified appearance, he was "forced" by the Kuomintang army to be the township chief for several years during the Liberation War.

Although Liu Mintang not only did not do anything harmful to nature and reason when he was the head of the township for the Kuomintang, but also hid many villagers' children in his cellar when the Kuomintang arrested the strong men. However, in the "purge activities" after the liberation, he was still regarded as a "spy" of the Kuomintang and was sent to prison, and was also sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Although Liu Mintang was able to have his sentence commuted through his good performance in prison, he was released in 1965. However, only a year later, he lost his life in the midst of culture/revolution......

Thinking of these, Feng Quan himself couldn't help but have a feeling of heart-to-heart.

In order to break the embarrassing atmosphere in the car, Zhao Shijie said: "Eh, forget it, forget it." Our restaurant is about to open, so why mention those unhappy things on this big day? I think you'd better think about where we're going to eat at noon and talk about restaurants. ”

"Well, Brother Zhao is right. Why don't we go to Copperhouse for Western food? By the way, Uncle Sun, you have been in Germany for more than a month, and you haven't eaten authentic Western food, right? ”

"Well, it's true that I haven't eaten it. But I think the Western food stuff is raw, and it can't catch up with our Chinese food. Sun Jiaming nodded. I think, otherwise let's just leave it at that, let's not eat any Western food, whatever Chinese dishes you want to eat, let's just find a supermarket to buy raw materials. Then go to Daquan's apartment, and I'll cook for you. By the way, I remember the last time I went to your apartment, your kitchen utensils seemed to be quite complete, right? ”

"That's a good idea. It's true that the two of us haven't eaten authentic Chinese food for a long time. Zhao Shijie said with joy on his face. Then it was decided. Let's go shopping now, and then let's talk while eating when it's ready......"

After more than an hour, the three of them who had bought their things finally came to the apartment where Feng Quan lived.

After nearly an hour, four hot dishes, including pork slices, chicken stewed mushrooms, mushu pork, and ground three fresh, plus five dishes of aged vinegar peanuts, were served to the table by the trio.

――――――

Before returning to the apartment, Feng Quan didn't feel much hunger, but when he saw the five-course dishes made by Sun Jiaming himself, which were full of color and flavor, he felt a feeling of "drooling" for a short time.

So, when the other two took their seats, Feng Quan was the first to start feasting.

Looking at Feng Quan, who was feasting with happiness on his face, a smile appeared on the faces of Zhao Shijie and Sun Jiaming, two peers almost at the same time.

This...... Bundesliga supernova, 100-meter sprint world record holder...... It's a little scary! You know, it's because he hasn't eaten delicious Chinese food for a long time. I don't know, I thought he had been hungry in the desert for several days, and he must have a good meal after he was rescued.

Five minutes later, Feng Quan felt that if he continued to eat like this, he was afraid that his morning of physical training would be in vain. So he "slowed down" his eating, and then prepared to start discussing the restaurant that the three of them would work with.

"Uncle Sun, Brother Zhao, I'm young, and I don't know anything about names. So you two have an idea and see what our restaurant should be called. Feng Quan said.

"I'm a chef and I don't know what names come about. Xiao Zhao, you have read a lot and seen it. I think it's up to you to get the idea. Sun Jiaming agreed.

"Since everyone trusts me so much, it seems a bit contrived for me to refuse. In fact, our restaurants are mainly aimed at local Chinese, and even if Germans come to eat, they only come here once in a while to try something new. So when we come up with a name for a restaurant, we mainly think about attracting Chinese. Although I personally have a good understanding of Brother Sun's cooking skills, it is a hundred reassuring. However, in order for diners to walk into our restaurant without anyone knowing his cooking skills, we need a name that can be instantly recognized by them and has a very distinctive name. Otherwise, it will be difficult to attract a large number of customers in the early stage of opening. Zhao Shijie analyzed.

"Oh, Brother Zhao. Don't explain so much to us, just tell me what you want to call it, right? "The tempered Feng Quan, a little impatient.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Shijie spoke: "I remember that a few years ago, there was a sitcom called "Wulin Gaiden" in China, which was particularly popular. When I was still studying in the United States, I saw that many Chinese people in the United States were also watching the sitcom through the Internet. That's why I think our restaurant is called ......."

Before Zhao Shijie finished speaking, Feng Quan preemptively thought: "Tongfu Inn? ”

"Well, that's what I meant." Zhao Shijie smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I think it's a good name. Blessed to share, this implication is good. Mr. Sun also voted "yes" on the restaurant's name.

Although the three people present have "shares" in the restaurant, he is the de facto "big boss" for Feng Quan, whose investment ratio has reached 7%. Therefore, even if Zhao Shijie comes up with a good store name, he must make a decision.

After thinking for a while, Feng Quan didn't say anything right away, but picked up the glass in front of him...... Orange, then stood up and raised it towards the "partners" of the two uncles opposite.

"Okay, then our restaurant will be called Tongfu Inn. Come, I wish us a happy cooperation......"

――――――

After deciding on the name of the restaurant, the trio began to discuss the exact time when the restaurant would officially open.

Although none of the three are very superstitious people, in order to be auspicious, the eldest Sun Jiaming suggested: "I think we should find a feng shui gentleman to calculate and see which day is the best day for the restaurant to open." ”

"Brother Sun is right, although I am personally very opposed to feudal superstition, but in order to get a good fortune, I also think it is better to find a feng shui gentleman to calculate it." Zhao Shijie agreed. "It's just that I don't know if there is a powerful feng shui gentleman here in Hamburg."

"Hey! What kind of fortune teller are you looking for? Feng Quan said disapprerovingly: "My grandfather will give people a hexagram and a name if he has nothing to do after retirement." The last time I returned to China, I heard my mother say that now in my hometown, his old man is still quite famous in 'Feng Shui'. Instead of looking for someone else to calculate, I might as well call my grandfather now and ask him to help us calculate which day is the best day to open in the next month. ”

"Well, I'll see. Fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields. Sun Jiaming nodded in agreement. But, Daquan. I've heard that whether it's to find someone to tell a fortune or ask someone to help you calculate an auspicious day, you have to give a reward or buy some expensive gifts. Otherwise, it won't work. ”

After Sun Jiaming finished speaking, Feng Quan thought for a moment and said, "Give me grandpa money, he will definitely not ask for it." Why don't you do this, my grandfather has always wanted a high-grade pocket watch, so how about the three of us pay together and go to Switzerland to buy a better pocket watch for his old man? ”

So, after getting the consent of the two "partners", Feng Quan dialed his grandfather's phone.

A few minutes later, Feng Quan's grandfather consulted the perpetual calendar, and then made some calculations based on his years of "divination" experience, and then said to Feng Quan: "Daquan, I'll check it for you." The 22nd and 28th of this month are both auspicious days for opening. If you're not in a hurry to open, I suggest you choose the 28th. Because the numbers 2 and 8 together are exactly 10. And the number 10 has the meaning of perfection in China. So, although both of these days are good, the 28th is obviously more auspicious......"

"Okay, Grandpa. Then we'll listen to you! ”

――――――

Since there is still a lot of preparatory work to be completed before the official opening of the restaurant, Feng Quan has no time to take care of the preparation work of the restaurant for the time being because he still has to participate in the team's training every day. Therefore, these preparations basically need to be completed by Zhao Shijie and Sun Jiaming's family.

So, in order to start the preparation of the restaurant better tomorrow, after setting the name of the restaurant and the official opening time, Zhao and Sun were ready to leave.

After leaving Fengquan's apartment, Zhao Shijie drove his Audi A6 sedan and sent Sun Jiaming home.

At the same time, when Feng Quan was thriving in the Bundesliga and had begun to invest in his future life, the major European clubs also paid attention to him because of his excellent performance in Germany...... (To be continued.) )
