Chapter 55: The Gift
This Lao Huang is really a descendant of the imperial kitchen, his ancestral home is Bashu, born in Sijiu City, and lives outside Dongzhimen.
used to work as a chef in a state-run canteen, and spent the past few years at home after retirement.
Ten years ago, when life was unsatisfactory, Lao Guan took care of him quietly, otherwise the family would not be able to survive.
Last month, Cheng Jianwen also wanted to go over to find this famous chef, but he didn't meet him at all.
Today, Lao Guan went to look for him, and Lao Huang not only agreed, but also left Lao Guan at home for lunch and dinner.
After dark, I followed Lao Guan to the courtyard.
Cheng Guanli hurriedly invited the two to the house.
was about to praise Lao Huang for having face, but Lao Huang opened his mouth first.
"Guan Ye told me about your restaurant, Guan Ye is my elder, I am gracious, I can go to work tomorrow, I am not short of money, you don't have to be in a hurry to pay your salary, wait for half a year your restaurant is second to none near Dongzhimen, and then give me a salary, if I can't reach that level, that is, my skills are not as good as others, and I immediately throw a spoon and leave, half a year for nothing!"
Cheng Guanli gave a thumbs up.
"Uncle Huang, you are really righteous, admire, you can rest assured, since the first day of your work, I will record your salary, when you want it, when I will give it!"
"Well, I saw the restaurant, except that the name is not my taste, there is nothing else, I am the authentic descendant of Beijing Sichuan cuisine, the name of your restaurant has nothing to do with Sichuan cuisine, forget it, since it has been renovated, let's open it quickly."
Cheng Guanli said with a smile: "Uncle Huang, I have changed my name, and I haven't made it yet, the name you see is born by Chen Jin, and the name I named is Shu Xiangxuan." ”
"Good! I like this one, is it stocked? "Lao Huang has been in the house for so long, and his eyes are wide for the first time.
Cheng Guanli smiled: "Not yet." ”
"So what are you waiting for? I have to buy it early tomorrow morning, and I can't miss oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and condiments, what about your general manager? Let her go to Dongzhimen before dawn tomorrow to wait for me! ”
As soon as the words fell, Xu Yuzhen walked in with Xiaoxing in her arms.
"No problem, I'll be at Dongzhimen at five o'clock!"
"Okay, that's it, bring at least five hundred yuan, the restaurant is not a restaurant."
Lao Huang said and got up and left.
Cheng Guanli hurriedly asked, "Alas, Uncle Huang, are you alone in the back kitchen?" ”
Lao Huang glanced at Cheng Guanli and said lightly: "I will take five apprentices and grandchildren who have not left the school, don't worry, I don't ask you for your salary." ”
"No, you misunderstood, I'm afraid you can't be busy alone, since you have your apprentice grandson with you, then I can rest assured, as long as your apprentice grandson goes into the back kitchen and touches the handle of the knife, he will be indispensable for his penny salary! Let's compare to the nearby restaurants, which is 20% higher than their kitchen salary. ”
Lao Huang nodded, with an appreciative smile on his face, "No wonder I can subdue the human spirit Guan Ye, he is a person who can do things, boy, we will get along for a long time in the future, I am a little stubborn, a little arrogant, but the craftsmanship is not stubborn or arrogant, you look back slowly." ”
With that, he turned around and went straight home.
Cheng Guanli and Xu Yuzhen hurriedly sent them out.
Lao Guan drank tea leisurely in the house, and said lightly: "Don't send it, as long as he is happy, he doesn't care about these vain, if you have any opinions about him in the future, just talk about his face, don't tuck it, he likes to go straight." ”
Cheng Guanli and Xu Yuzhen went back to the house and discussed with Lao Guan when to open.
The final decision can be made in advance, and tomorrow in addition to the purchase, we will also notify the waiter, relatives and friends, and prepare for the opening ceremony.
The opening date is set for this Sunday.
The preparation for the opening was handed over to Lao Guantou and Xu Yuzhen, and Cheng Guanli not only made the decision at a critical time, but also became a shopkeeper.
The opening of the restaurant did not affect his work in the central station in the slightest.
…………
Early the next morning.
Cheng Guanli came to the stage.
First of all, I told Mr. Huang that his restaurant was going to open on Sunday, and specially invited them to come over.
Teacher Huang said with a smile: "You must go, it's not the months before the year, I have time, by the way, to watch the ceremony, do you open a restaurant and go to work and take the university entrance examination?" ”
"There is no conflict, the restaurant is managed by my two neighbors, and I am a hands-off shopkeeper, so I should have a sufficient source of income."
"Okay, you have a beautiful plan, there are not many people with such a high layout ability at your age, do it well, I am optimistic about you!"
"Hehe, I'm on a bargain, huh? Teacher, how is the Spring Festival Gala? ”
"The director said that you can start planning now, plan and start preparation, and wait for the show to start when the preparation is complete."
"Can it be broadcast live this time?"
"Hmm...... Judging from the current situation, it is difficult to say, but it is estimated that the superior leaders will most likely come to the scene to watch, we do our own work, plan things in people, and achieve things in the sky. ”
"Well, I see."
"Now that you've become the shopkeeper of the restaurant, let's put your energy into your work, and you can start writing the sketch script."
"Well, I'll think about it when I go back today."
Cheng Guanli's choice of script is still ready to follow Chen Xiaoer and Lao Mao.
After all, they have performance experience and the ability to adapt to changes on stage, and the most important thing is that the two have run in the best performance state and can complement each other.
Coupled with the effect of eating noodles last time, he decided to continue the setting of the character's background and reproduce the classic "Making a Movie".
It was the one who made Chen Xiaoer wear single clothes in winter, wiping his sweat and saying, 'Folks, I, Wang Lao Wu, have lived for most of my life......
In two days, Cheng Guanli handed over the refined script to Mr. Huang.
Mr. Huang was very satisfied after reading it.
smiled: "Guanli, your speed is too fast, okay, just use this script, or Chen Xiaoer and Lao Mao?" ”
"Well, they're familiar with the premise."
"Okay, let me put the script here first, and after I plan all the shows, I will submit it together and wait for the approval of my superiors."
"Need approval from your superiors?"
"Yes, that's why I said that the superior leaders of this 82-year party will most likely come to the scene to watch, maybe there are unimaginable leaders, we have to work hard."
"Well, teacher, you can arrange it, I am always on standby."
"You, don't delay the college entrance examination, since you have the financial resources of the restaurant, you don't need to focus on the field work in the future, follow me as a behind-the-scenes assistant, just prepare for the annual party, and it won't delay your future studies."
"No problem, it's easy to say, my working hours are indeed much more free than regular jobs."
After the script was handed over to Mr. Huang, Cheng Guanli's work was completed, just wait for the superior to review it.
Soon it was the day when his restaurant Shu Xiangxuan opened.
Not only did Mr. Huang bring his wife, but some people in the stage who had a good relationship with Cheng Guanli also came.
In the courtyard, except for the Cheng family in the backyard, almost everyone came to cheer, and even Liu Tongzhou brought his daughter-in-law and son-in-law to the restaurant.
In addition, there are also chefs who cheer for Chef Lao Huang, as well as people from nearby alleys.
I have to say that the face of the old juncture is really big, the first day of the restaurant's opening, it was directly full, and it really responded to the plaque on the first floor.
Except for the two tables that are very close, they are invited, and the other diners who came to the restaurant today are all discounted.
Cheng Guanli stood at the door while welcoming and receiving friends, while waiting for Su Ying's family.
I was wondering why Su Ying hadn't come yet when she said she was the first to come.
In a blink of an eye, Su Ying held two scrolls of calligraphy and paintings in her hands, and took her parents to the door of the restaurant.
Cheng Guanli hurriedly greeted him.
Su Ying smiled slightly, "Do you like this congratulatory gift?" Yesterday, I went with Guan Ye to redeem the calligraphy and paintings, and you told me that it was enough to borrow money, but you were treating me as an outsider? ”
