When opening a restaurant, the most feared thing is smashing the signboard. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info not only me, the entire catering industry is afraid of smashing the signboard, and the signboard and reputation are the soul of the hotel operation.

It takes several years or even more than ten years to accumulate word-of-mouth, and it takes fifteen or sixteen years or even one generation to play a gold-lettered signboard, while those time-honored brands that are well-known in one place need at least three generations of operation and hard work.

Therefore, according to Zhao Shuihe, in the Huogong language of the Five Organs Temple, the time-honored brand that has been operated for more than three generations is called "Ginkgo Tree", which means that the time-honored store grows slowly like a ginkgo tree, and the grandfather planted the tree until the grandchildren were able to eat the fruit.

I'm a person with little experience, I've never eaten ginkgo, and I don't know what it's like. But I know that my "Huo Ji Boiled Fish" may not be able to become a "ginkgo tree".

Since the restaurant's fish and dishes have been in trouble one after another, it has caused a collapse of trust among my new and old customers, and under the butterfly effect of one pass to ten to hundred, my restaurant has quickly become unpopular, except for the occasional passing farmers and backpackers every day, there is really no source of customers.

The fine of the Quality Supervision Bureau, coupled with the dismal operation of the business, after more than half a month, the buddy really couldn't hold on, so I scattered the last bit of accumulated wealth before the capital chain was completely broken, gathered the last bit of liquidity to maintain, and took away the redundant waiters to save some costs.

But I know that even then, if there is no significant improvement in hotel traffic, it will be a drop in the bucket.

At that time, I was in a very low mood.

It is not good to be out of the teacher, it is not good to go out of the teacher again, and it is not good to go out of the teacher again, this series of bad luck caused by Yin Wujia is simply like a plate of quicksand that makes me fall deeper and deeper, and the more I struggle, the more I fall.

Hopeless, helpless, sad, but useless, because I know that my sign is smashed, but there will not be a guest, and peers to sympathize with you.

This is the bloodiest reality of the restaurant industry.

The night after the meal, I sat alone in the empty dining room, all wooden. I was depressed, but I had nowhere to vent, so I could only stare silently at my piece of boiled fish sign.

At this time, Zhao Haipeng walked out of the back kitchen, he sat opposite me, looked at me and said, "Boss Huo, what do you want?"

I shook my head and said, "Brother Zhao, don't call me boss, I'm younger than you, you call me the third son, I am a little happy to listen." ”

My name is Huo Sansi, "the third son" is the closest person in the family to call me, Zhao Haipeng has saved my life several times, I naturally will not treat him as an outsider.

After listening to my words, Peng nodded knowingly. Then he changed his words: "The third child, in this situation, you have an idea." You are the boss, you are the backbone, if you are depressed, the hotel will really be over. ”

Zhao's words are reasonable, but at this time, my heart is in chaos, and I really can't think of anything.

Therefore, I said to Zhao Haipeng with some despair: "Brother Zhao, don't you Five Organs Temple know how to 'eat curses'? Can you think of a spell to make the operation of the restaurant better, so that everyone can relieve it." ”

Zhao looked at my face, shook his head and said, "Third child, you can't always rely on me, you are the boss, you are responsible......"

Listening to Zhao Haipeng's words, I felt extremely aggrieved in my heart.

Because I'm the boss, the cat demon Suoyin Wujia has to take me with him! Because I'm the boss, Zhao Shuihe and Zhao Haipeng are vindictive, and they have to take me with them. Because I'm the boss, the public prosecutor and the law have to take me with them when they are fined.

But I didn't do anything! I just worked and lived like an ordinary person...... I didn't offend anyone, but I was almost killed by those evil spirits and spirits.

I'm not wronged!

Because I suddenly felt like Dou E, my face collapsed, and I was extremely embarrassed.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Zhao Haipeng didn't urge me anything, but instead sat next to me and chatted with me.

Zhao spoke first and asked me, "Third child, do you know why I helped you block the trouble?"

I didn't even think about it, and immediately replied: "If I guessed correctly, you owe Yin Wujia a great favor, according to the first article of the Five Organs Temple's 'Three Laws, Three Strictness, and Four Prohibitions', you have to repay your kindness, so you came to help me when I received the letter from Yin Wujia to you." ”

"That's right, but do you know what favor I owe Yin Wujia?" Zhao Haipeng said seriously.

I shook my head, naturally I didn't know.

Zhao Haipeng told me: "Yin Wujia used to have all kinds of poisons, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and he smoked a lot of cigarettes when he was young......

As he spoke, Zhao Haipeng fell into memory.

It turned out that the Lunan Zhao family used to be a family of chefs and was quite rich, but it suffered a "human" disaster a few decades ago, and Zhao Haipeng's father "Zhao Deguang" was deceived by his brother and mistakenly committed the crime of smuggling, sentenced to prison, and finally died inside.

After that disaster, the Zhao family has been in a slump since then, and the economic situation has worsened.

Gu Zhao Haipeng said that in order to make a living, his brother carried three baked cakes on his back and carried 10-year-old Zhao Haipeng on his back for 10 hours in the mountains of Lunan to work, and his feet were purple and black blistered, just to save a 5 yuan for a bus ticket.

Later, by chance, the Zhao brothers found a restaurant run by Yin Wujia in Jinan and began to work as an apprentice for him.

At that time, Yin Wujia was already very miserable because of his gambling habits, and the dark shop only sold a few ordinary Sichuan dishes, and his attitude towards Zhao Haipeng was also extremely vicious, either beating or scolding.

In a difficult environment, Zhao Haipeng naturally had no good impression of this hotel owner, and privately scolded him as a "monkey old lady" in the language of fireworks.

As mentioned earlier, "old lady" is the name of the boss in the Huogong language, and the monkey is to describe a person who is a scoundrel, as stubborn as a monkey, and at the same time the monkey is also called a monkey, and in the temple of the five organs, there is also a derogatory meaning of "grandson".

This seemingly casual title is actually soaked in Zhao Haipeng's deep contempt and disgust for Yin Wujia.

In this way, in Zhao Haipeng's extreme disgust, the Zhao family brothers worked half-time in Yin Wujia, and worked for a long time as lotus and water table cooks, during which Zhao Haipeng's dislike for Yin Wujia increased day by day.

In those years, Zhao Haipeng's elder brother was busy with his livelihood every day, and he had no extra time to take care of his younger brother under the pressure of Yin Wujia, and because of this, the young and vigorous Zhao Haipeng gradually embarked on a crooked path.

Later, Zhao and the little Taibao in Jinan City got mixed together, shouting and killing all day long, worshiping the eldest brother, and grabbing territory.

Such a young man is in the period of youth rebellion, so it is easy to be used by those old bastards, and then go to the black road of never looking back.

And Zhao Haipeng almost fell into such an abyss.

There was a firefight, Zhao's eldest brother was defeated, and the eldest brother was not convinced, so he encouraged Zhao Haipeng to go to the other party's eldest brother's house to cut down his son, but Zhao was too ruthless, not to mention that the kid was seriously disabled, and also cut off the "little brother" of the family, so that the prince, who was usually high-flying and domineering, became a eunuch all of a sudden.

With this knife, the other brother's eldest brother naturally didn't do it, the eldest brother took more than 100 brothers, and went to the Zhao family's residence with great momentum, Zhao Haipeng was chased by others for three streets, and finally hid in the hotel in Yin Wujia and didn't dare to come out.

This matter has nothing to do with Yin Wujia, he can completely hand over Zhao Haipeng to the matter, but this restaurant owner from the Five Organs Temple has no hesitation to save the lives of his buddies or apprentices.

So, there was a wonderful scene in the city of Jinan, an old man with a sixtieth birthday, with a white handkerchief cloth wrapped around his head, holding a kitchen knife, protecting a hairy boy, and confronting a hundred and ten big men with machetes, nail sticks and even short shotguns.

The old man was in good spirits and mighty, and after knocking down two or three wastes that were not long-sighted, he asked to see the other party's eldest brother by name, and said, "Zhao Haipeng is my partner of His Royal Highness Sichuan Cuisine Bailong, and I have to protect him if he says anything." ”

The old man was so imposing that he frightened the bastards into retreating again and again, and finally recruited the eldest brother out.

When the eldest brother saw the old man's desperate posture, he also knew that it was not easy to deal with, so he deliberately made a problem and said: "I can let go of the surname Zhao, but he slashed my son three times, and also damaged my son's life, this is a comparison, if you can pay him back, I will let him go!"

This sentence was purely because the ruffian brother deliberately made things difficult for Yin Wujia, but no one expected that this old man would have a big temperament and ...... directly I promised.

Yin Wujia said the word "good", and then returned the knife to himself, first slashed himself three times, and then took off his pants, and put a testicle (harmony) pill in his crotch,...... Dig it out.

All of a sudden, the scene fell silent.

The old man Yin panted, took the bloody eggs in his hands, and walked towards the bastard boss with steps, every step he took, a stream of blood spurted out of his crotch, until he handed the bloody hand holding the egg to the bastard brother, and then said: "This time...... Okay?"

The big brother of the bastard is also a bastard, and he can't be compared with the cook of the Five Organs Temple who values love and righteousness, and was born in Hongmen.

The eldest brother was stupid when he saw such a bloody scene, and he ran away in a hurry, and also ran away with his men.

After that, Yin Wujia was hospitalized in a coma and almost lost his life.

After Yin Wujia woke up, Zhao took Yin's hand and asked why, why did he save him, and blocked the knife for him.

I thought that Yin would say something big, but I didn't expect Yin Wujia to simply answer simply: "I am a person from the Five Organs Temple, and the boss of our Five Organs Temple has to talk about righteousness...... Being a chef is not the same as being a boss, my hotel guy, mine follows, and you are still a child, without a life, your life will be over......"

After that, Yin Wujia knew that Zhao Haipeng couldn't get along in Jinan, so he helped Zhao Haipeng to trust the relationship and let him go to the south and become a soldier to avoid trouble......

Speaking of which, Zhao Haipeng and I were in a bit surging. I never thought that Yin Wujia, who seemed a little timid and scared, had done such a feat, and I didn't expect Zhao Haipeng to have such an unbearable experience.

At the same time, the calm words of the old man Yin always echoed in my ears......

"Being a cook is not the same as being a boss, my man, my ......"

I can't do it to the point of self-harm, but Zhao Haipeng can gamble his life for me in order to "compensate"!

I felt ashamed.

After a moment of silence, I shook my shoulders and forced myself to cheer up.

I suddenly understood that it was my greatest responsibility to take the lead and lead everyone out of the predicament like Old Man Yin.
