Chapter 374: Throwing bricks and leading the way

The 53-year-old owner, who had been an apprentice in his hometown restaurant before 20, worked as a roadside stall and worked as a chef at a hotel, came to Samui to open a sunset bar 10 years ago.

Chen Erdong asked him why he came to Samui to do business, and the boss said, "I can't afford other places, and when I came here, the rent was cheap and the landlord was very good, and he only gave me a rent increase once in ten years."

> 0 years later, Koh Samui has gradually increased the number of tourists, before that, it was a paradise for European and American backpackers and diving enthusiasts, but compared with Thailand's most popular tourist destinations, such as Pattaya and Phuket, the island still has relatively few tourists, especially the proportion of Chinese tourists is even rarer.

After Phuket was developed into a Chinese world due to the surge in Chinese tourists, the secluded island of Koh Samui became the next target for domestic travel agencies.

With the development of the Internet and self-media, Koh Samui has become a new hot spot in Thailand in recent years, and some celebrities have attracted many Chinese tourists.

"There are more and more Chinese tourists, and you are spending a lot of money!" The boss gave a thumbs up.

"You also advertise to let more people know about your restaurant, and we can help you promote it when we go back." Du Yu said.

The boss smiled and shook his hands in front of his chest, and said, "My wife and I are the only ones in the restaurant, and we rarely use the Internet."

"Boss, do you accept apprentices?" Chen Erdong said with a smile that he asked this sentence himself, and his English could occasionally deal with a few sentences.

The boss was very humorous, pretended to fall back, burst out a phrase in Thai that he didn't understand, and said, "Do you want to come to work? Haha, I'm just an apprentice, my wife, and she cooked the soup you drank just now."

The sunset bar did not hire a chef, and the owner and the proprietress changed the spoon, and whoever was tired rested.

After drinking a bottle of beer, the boss introduced a lot of Thai catering culture, and Du Yu opened another bottle for him and continued to listen to him.

More than an hour passed, in addition to Chen Erdong's table in the restaurant, there were two tables of guests, and the proprietress could cope with it alone in the kitchen.

Chen Erdong organized the English words and asked fluently, "If you were asked to come to China to open a restaurant, would you be willing?"

Du Yu glanced at him, thinking to himself, what is this kid's idea? Then repeat his question again with the correct grammar.

The boss pondered for a few seconds, took a sip of wine, and replied, "I like life here, I know that the Chinese market is big and there is a lot of money, but I don't want to live in a busy life every day."

He is a person who is content with the status quo, this kind of life of what he wants, and he is content, this is another philosophy of life, not everyone wants to get ahead.

"What do you want to do?" Du Yu recalled that Chen Erdong asked him about Jincheng Thai food inexplicably last night.

"Hey, hey." Chen Erdong let out a chicken thief's laughter, "You said that if the sunset goes to Jincheng, how good will the business be?"

"You want to cook Thai food again?" Du Yuqi said.

"I'll talk about it later." Chen Erdong picked up the bottle and touched it with the boss.

The boss saw that the two of them were chattering like listening to birds, thinking that they were talking about themselves, so he asked Du Yu curiously.

Du Yu said, "I can't bear the food you make, I want to go to China and eat it every day."

The boss was delighted when he heard this, and immediately beckoned the waiter over and asked him to inform the kitchen to send another fried shrimp with lemongrass.

"As long as the ingredients are fresh and you can use our seasonings, you can find any Thai person to eat enough." The boss danced and shook his fists at the end, clearly confident in Thai food.

After the meal, the boss left everyone to drink, but Du Yu politely declined, and they planned to go back to the villa's private beach for a small gathering.

The private beach is next to the villa, and three or five friends sit on the sand, blowing the sea breeze, which has a unique flavor.

Rao Zhengzhi put the ice cubes frozen in the refrigerator during the day into the ice bucket, inserted a few beers, trotted all the way to the beach, and spread out fruits and snacks.

Ye Xu asked Chen Erdong, "What did you talk to the boss about just now?"

Chen Erdong on a whim, too

didn't want to hide it, he told everyone about the idea of going back to Jincheng to open a Thai meal.

"I also said that I will continue to be busy with the lazy cat after I go back, and you will change when you say this!" Du Yu responded first.

"Dad, are you telling you a lie?" Zou Xueyao asked.

"I do have this idea, I think getting a Thai chef back to open an authentic Thai restaurant is like being a lazy cat in the moving industry, although they are both mature industries, we have a unique differentiation." When it comes to entrepreneurship, Chen Erdong is not smiling.

Unlike preparing for a new lazy cat, he is not interested in the moving industry, and if he hadn't gone to work for wild bees, he would have nothing to do with moving in his life.

If being a lazy cat is a last resort, then opening Thai food is his subjective and active idea, and he has also done catering before, under these two premises, he must be more inclined to the latter.

Last night, he had already had a psychological construction, and repeatedly compared the prospects and difficulties of the two entrepreneurial projects, and after chatting with the boss of Sunset just now, he was even more determined in his thoughts.

"Ash, what do you think?" Du Yu asked.

Rao Zhengzhi has been immersed in the excitement of travel for the past two days, and he didn't know that Chen Erdong was thinking about it again, and when it came to the topic of entrepreneurship, Rao Zhengzhi was confused.

And for him, entrepreneurship is not the only option, Fan Yimei's olive branch has always hung on the door of his heart.

"I don't know, if you want me to move, I will, I don't know anything about this restaurant."

Chen Erdong poured a handful of sand on him and said, "Don't think about whether you will or not, which of these two entrepreneurial projects do you think is more promising?"

"If you want to say that, the people take food as the sky, and Jincheng is a place where foodies gather together, so it seems to be easier to make catering."

Chen Erdong also talked about the disadvantages of being a new lazy cat at this stage, and everyone here also understands what he said, and it seems that there is no reason to refute.

"I think so." Kang Cien, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

"Huh? Voted yes so quickly?" Du Yu pinched Kang Cien's leg.

"Xiaodong talked to me last night, although I don't know that he had this idea, but he is right, it is difficult for us to go back and eat authentic Thai taste, this is a business opportunity, I believe many people will also have this idea."

At night, the sea is exceptionally quiet, and the force of the waves is much smaller than during the day, and the sound of rolling waves is like several books turning pages at the same time, slowly pushing with the sea breeze.

Looking out to sea, only sporadic boat lights flickered, and the entire beach was only these six people.

The light in the small courtyard of the villa behind them is enough to supplement the light source for them, and such an environment is perfect for chatting.

"Sounds good, but where can I find a Thai chef?" Ye Xu asked.

"The boss of Sunset is probably not playing, people are living a paradise life here, and they don't want to be a toiler, come! Drink, I've told you about it anyway, and it's going to be a few days, and there's time to talk!" Chen Erdong's heart was smooth and he raised the wine bottle.
