048// Explain it yourself
A few years later, when the restaurant of Perfume Galaxy Hotel could receive nearly 100 tables and thousands of guests at the same time, Yang Yujia's memory would occasionally turn to the page on the opening day.
There were two tables of guests at noon that day. The hotel did not open the industry advertisement. Hasty decision, there is simply no time for advertising. What can you say if you can advertise? Said that the Perfume Galaxy Hotel was grandly opened on a certain day of the month! Parenthesis: 2nd floor restaurant only. Joke, is there such an opening?
Yang Yujia saw that almost the entire hotel management came. The general manager came, and so did the department managers. They stood aside and watched. Look at the food can not come out; Watch the waiters skewer around like headless flies; Watch the chefs look like ants on a hot pan. And they all look like men who are about to be fathers outside the delivery room: more anxious than the person who gave birth to the baby.
Yang Yujia didn't know Wan Hu at that time. I also don't know Deputy Secretary Zhou of the Municipal Party Committee. I don't know how they got the news. They were the first guests of the Perfume Star River. He was also the most loyal guest of the Perfume Star River Hotel.
Welcome. Welcome!
When Wan Hu stepped on the carpet for the first time, he subconsciously retracted his feet.
He walked out of the elevator on the second floor, thinking he had stepped on something he shouldn't have stepped on. The black pattern carpet on a red background gives people a thick and soft feeling. It looks new. It's unbearable to step on. There's a sense of luxury to stepping on.
Wan Hu was instantly "shopped big". Of course, this kind of instantaneous thing, which others can't notice at all, can almost be ignored in historical materials. The aisle is a stretch of racecourse. Two people sit on two armchairs with armrests by the railing. One of them stood up and called out to Mr. Wan.
He nodded expressionlessly, not answering. There are too many people who know him Wanhu in Xiangzhou, and there are people who want to talk to him.
He pretended that his electrocardiogram had not fluctuated abnormally, and looked down at the handrail of the aisle. Below is the lobby they just walked through. Several workers are installing spotlights in the dry pond in front of the rockery. Next to him, a thin man with a waist and a buttocks, holding a brick-like big brother, was speaking Cantonese with an open voice.
Deputy Secretary Zhou, who was following Wan Hu, also subconsciously looked at his feet. He is a man who has seen the world. There is nothing to fuss about. The restaurants of the high-star hotels in Beijing and Shanghai are carpeted.
He reminded Wan Hu to be careful of bumping heads. Wan Hu looked up at the bottom of the beam in front of his head, and raised his hand to touch it, estimated to be only one meter eight in height.
Not far from the elevator entrance, Wan Hu saw two tall girls standing next to a small round platform half a person high. One wears a saffron brocade cheongsam; One wears a tight-fitting black suit. They were keeping an eye on the elevator entrance. It's like waiting for the arrival of Wan Hu and his party for a long time.
This excessive attention made Wan Hu suddenly feel a little uncomfortable in his hands and feet. He saw the girl in the suit whispering something in the ear of the cheongsam girl. The cheongsam girl hurriedly moved to greet her. As if he had forgotten something, he turned back in a panic, found a small splint in the drawer of the small round table, and held it to his chest to meet it again.
Welcome! How many are you?
Eight. Wan Hu responded. Deputy Secretary Zhou added, give us a larger private room.
The smiling cheongsam girl made a gesture inside and said, "This way, please."
Wan Hu counted it, and there seemed to be only four private rooms on the entire second floor. The cheongsam girl told him that there was a small room behind the desk. However, the atrium outside the private room is spacious enough. The ceiling is divided into nine concave ceilings, each with a square crystal rod ceiling lamp hanging in the center. Each lamp has nine bulbs that illuminate the entire atrium, which is limited in height. People can clearly feel the heat of the lights when they walk underneath.
The cheongsam girl plans to take the guests to a private room called a village house. The girl in the suit said on the side, taking the guests to the Yerba Cao Room. The cheongsam girl replied that there were only eight of them.
Wan Hu asked: Which private room is the best?
The cheongsam girl said that the Fangcao Hall is large. With sofa and karaoke. But the minimum spend is 1,000 two.
Wan Hu said dissatisfiedly, are you afraid that we can't afford to pay? As he spoke, he turned his head to look for Yerba Grass Hall.
Little ghost, Deputy Secretary Zhou's wife, who followed behind, said, your price has caught up with the high-star hotels in Wuhan.
The little ghost cheongsam girl just turned around and smiled, and did not answer positively.
If you don't answer a question, don't answer it at all. Although she didn't know the identity of the person who spoke, she could tell that it was someone who had seen the world. She also heard a tall man in her companion seconded the proposal that this price could be eaten for ten tables in Chunhua Restaurant. Chunhua Restaurant used to be the best restaurant in Xiangzhou.
Ma Ke and Wang Han were sitting on a chair by the railing of the racecourse on the second floor and chatting. Seeing Wang Hanwu getting up to greet people, he also had a flattering smile on his face. And he saw that the man with a big tail and a sheep ignored him. Looking at the man's thin back, Ma Ke asked in a low voice: Who is this person?
Wang Han whispered closely, don't you know this person? He is a well-known figure in Xiangzhou's red and black! Lin Xiao, the former secretary of the Xiangzhou Municipal Party Committee, is his uncle.
Oh - he's the Ten Thousand Tigers?! When Ma Ke looked back again, he saw that Wan Hu and his party had already entered the Fangcao Hall.
Yerba Grass Room: 14 large round tables with glass turntables; a new tablecloth crisp white and draped down to the carpet; a wide variety of white porcelain tableware and glass wine glasses with impact spots; There are also modular sofas, coffee tables, TVs, and karaoke speakers. The curtains are pulled open to reveal a wall of floor-to-ceiling glass, like a widescreen movie. Look around: there are cars coming and going nearby, and passers-by are all sorts of people; There are willows in the distance, sparkling.
A waitress dressed in a traditional Chinese floral cloth dress comes in to order, holding a delicately printed à la carte menu and wine list.
What kind of tea do you drink?
Wan Hu was not familiar with the dishes on the menu and pushed it to Secretary Zhou. Secretary Zhou looked at it and said why are they all Cantonese food?
The waiter replied with a smile, "Cantonese cuisine is our specialty."
Deputy Secretary Zhou shook his head and ordered a few dishes according to the menu. Some dishes have it, some dishes don't. The waiter said apologetically, I'm really sorry, today we are the first day of trial operation, and some of the raw materials are not complete.
Deputy Secretary Zhou smiled kindly: You don't have this, you don't have that, how can we order this dish? In this way, you can see what you are good at, and there is no shortage of them, and help us arrange a menu.
After a while, the waiter came back with a menu, and Deputy Secretary Zhou looked at it and handed it to Wan Hu. Say I'm okay.
Wan Hu didn't look at it. Say I don't understand this, you just say okay.
Today is Wanhu as the east, and Mr. Pan pays the bill and invites Deputy Secretary Zhou and his wife to dinner.
Mr. Pan's name is Pan Gao, and he is Wanhu's sworn brother and business friend. He used to work in the Municipal Construction Committee, but later went to the sea and established an engineering company. It mainly undertakes large and small projects on the government side.
Pan Gao is tall and strong, and he looks very official. When it comes to a certain leader, he always calls him by his name, and then adds the word comrade to the end of his name. For example, Comrade Lin Xiao and Comrade Xie Ze. It gives the impression that he is not small.
Wan Hu sat at the head of the table, and Deputy Secretary Zhou and his wife sat on either side of Wan Hu. Deputy Secretary Zhou came by car, without a secretary or driver. Only his lover was brought.
His lover is a tasteful middle-aged woman. She rarely interjected when men spoke, always watching and listening with a pair of smiling eyes.
Moreover, the escorts are all friends of Wanhu society. These people are as young as Wan Hu. They were dressed in black and rarely spoke. Occasionally saying a sentence or two is also vulgar and scary.
The à la carte was passed to the kitchen and waited for the dishes to be served. Wan Hu asked the waiter standing by the door with his hands down: Is it your greeter wearing a cheongsam?
The waiter replied: Yes, it is our consultant.
Seeing that Wan Hu was a little dazed, Deputy Secretary Zhou said that the counselor was the greeter.
What about the one in the black suit? Wan Hu gestured with his hand and said, is it a short braid on the back of his head, the one standing next to the counselor just now?
Oh – you're talking about our director.
What is her last name?
Her surname is Yang.
What is it called?
The waiter smiled: What are you asking for?
Isn't it okay to ask? Wan Hu glared and said.
We always want to talk to her about friends. Wan Hu's friend played.
When the waiter heard this, although he was still laughing, he was laughing reluctantly and unnaturally.
Wan Hu glanced sideways at the people who were talking nonsense, and said to the waiter, don't listen to their nonsense!
At this time, Wan Hu saw the girl in the suit come in, and the waiter was muttering something to her. Then he saw the girl in the suit raise her eyes and look at him. He guessed he was talking about him asking the name of the girl in the suit. He shouted, Director Yang! Why don't you serve us food?
How can this man speak like thunder? Yang Yujia was suddenly shocked by his shout. hurriedly smiled and said, I'm really sorry! Today we are the first day of trial operation, and the food is a little slow.
I just asked you what your name is, and the imp won't say. Wan Hu said.
Pan Gao said that this is our president.
Yang Yujia looked at Wan Hu, at most he was in his twenties. Because of his thin stature, he still looks like a big child when he looks at his back. He called the waiter Xiao Tian a ghost, which is obviously not very suitable. Yang Yujia nodded to Wan Hu and said hello, saying that my name is Yang Yujia. Just call me Xiao Yang.
Wan Hu introduced Deputy Secretary Zhou and his wife. Yang Yujia smiled at Deputy Secretary Zhou: Welcome! He greeted the lady on the side again.
All are welcome!
Wan Hu's straight eyes made Yang Yujia feel scared. made her dare not face him, so she dealt with a few words and fled quickly.
Looking at the back of Yang Yujia walking out, Wan Hu was a little distracted. This beautiful girl is down-to-earth and generous, and her appearance is neither humble nor arrogant. is not like those girls who blindly please him, all of them are goblins.
Yang Yujia came out of Fangcao Hall and hurriedly reported to Huang Kanghua: Secretary Zhou of the Municipal Party Committee is in Fangcao Hall.
On the first day, the secretary of the trial municipal party committee came, which is a gratifying and congratulatory event. Huang Kanghua hurried to report to Li Fei. Li Fei heard it, no, the secretary of the municipal party committee is surnamed Xie, haven't you heard of changing the secretary?
Li Fei called Lu Shiping to ask him, and Lu Shiping said that it should be the deputy secretary Zhou Yibang.
About fifty years old, tall and thin. Li Fei said that the characteristics, Lu Shiping was even more sure.
Li Fei took Huang Kanghua to Fangcao Hall, and called Secretary Zhou when he entered the door. It's like we've known each other for a long time. I also greeted Deputy Secretary Zhou's wife.
Li Fei introduced himself and introduced Huang Kanghua to them. This made Zhou Yibang feel very face-saving. He smiled and said, don't say anything else now, we're hungry, hurry up and serve the food.
Li Fei said, I will personally go to the kitchen to help you urge the food now.
Despite Li Fei's special care, the dishes were still served very slowly. No way. The guests waited while eating, and finally put together the dishes on the table.
Pan Gao asked Deputy Secretary Zhou: Do you think you want to add any dishes?
Mrs. Zhou, who had not intervened, whispered at this time and asked them to add two spicy dishes.
This seems to remind everyone, and everyone at the table said that they wanted to add a spicy dish.
Deputy Secretary Zhou said that I asked when I ordered, and I ordered several dishes with chili peppers.
The people said, "What kind of pepper is this?" It's all peppers, not spicy at all.
Wan Hu shouted: Waiter!
Oda was standing outside the door of the hall, and when he heard the call, he hurriedly entered the house. Before he could speak, he heard Wan Hu shout again, calling you Director Yang to come!
Yang Yujia went in and realized that he ordered two spicy dishes. As soon as he gave a few words of explanation, he saw Wan Hu impatiently wave his hand: Don't be verbose, hurry up and do it with me!
Yang Yujia came out to find Huang Kanghua. Huang Kanghua said, you have to explain clearly to the guests, we are a Cantonese restaurant here, and there are no very spicy dishes.
Yang Yujia said, you have to explain it yourself! Seeing Huang Kanghua frowning, he knew that he had a problem with his expression, and he didn't want to admit his mistake directly, so he said that he had explained it to the guest, but the guest just didn't listen. The guest in the private room next door also said that it was not delicious and would not come again in the future.
As he was talking, Li Fei walked over. When Li Fei heard this, he said to Yang Yujia, then go and ask the kitchen to cook two local spicy dishes.
When Huang Kanghua heard this, his face became gloomy, and he was very annoyed.
Make Cantonese cuisine its own characteristics, so as to improve the grade of Xiangzhou dishes and improve the level of catering consumption. This was determined by the management after repeated discussions. Not only the restaurant on the second floor should focus on Cantonese cuisine; The restaurant on the first floor also makes Cantonese rice bowls; The restaurant on the third floor will also offer Cantonese morning and evening tea. This is all Li Fei's approval. It's only the first day, and if you say change, you're going to change. How can there be such a business?
Huang Kanghua said sternly, do we want to specialize in Cantonese cuisine in the future? !
Yes! Who says don't? Facing Huang Kanghua's questioning, Li Fei, who had a smile in his eyes, said unequivocally.
This was the first time Huang Kanghua had spoken to him in a protesting tone. Previously, even if he had different opinions, he did so in a suggestive and discussative tone. It can be seen that he is really angry today.
Li Fei didn't know, what made Huang Kanghua even more angry was that the general manager actually directly overstepped the command at the scene. This is a serious violation of the principle of hotel hierarchy. Yang Yujia listened to his opinion, and didn't ask me what my attitude was, so he immediately went to do it. If this continues, how can this food and beverage manager still be?
Yang Yujia came back to report that Master Hua in the kitchen said that there were no raw materials to prepare spicy dishes and could not be made.
Yang Yujia said this by standing at the same distance between Li Fei and Huang Kanghua, and said it to the two of them at the same time.
Quickly ask the kitchen to place an order and hand it over to the purchasing department to deal with it urgently. Li Fei endured it, and the words on the side of his mouth did not come out. He wanted to wait for Huang Kanghua to give instructions himself. But Huang Kanghua just didn't say it.
Li Fei beckoned to Ma Ke on the other side of the racecourse, and Ma Ke walked over quickly. Li Fei said that the guests did not order two spicy dishes, and the kitchen did not prepare raw materials. You hurry up and call the purchase, see what the kitchen is missing, and buy the raw materials you need as quickly as possible.
As soon as Marco heard this, he went to the cashier to make a call, but no one answered. Li Fei said anxiously, a few steps away, what kind of phone call!
Marco dropped the phone and ran briskly downstairs.
Li Fei looked back at Huang Kanghua again, and saw that Huang Kanghua had already walked away without greeting. scolded in my heart: This guy! So he went to the Yerba Cao Hall alone. He wanted to hear directly what the guests had to say.
