Li Xiaoxuan carefully took the child out, then stepped forward, stood on tiptoe and kissed Zhang Yang close to her face.

"Okay, okay, let's settle down and go back early." Zhang Yang grabbed Li Xiaoxuan's small waist.

"Actually, to be honest, your store is still on the rise, and you really don't have much time to take care of the children... When the custody of the child officially comes to you in the future, please ask a trustworthy aunt, and tell me if you are short of money. ”

Li Xiaoxuan pursed her lips, and suddenly spoke boldly, "Mr. Zhang, why don't you raise me in the future?" ”

Her eyes were soft and watery, but not like a joke.

Zhang Yang didn't speak, and listened to her carefully.

"Anyway, in my life, the rest of my concern is Tongtong, and I don't plan to remarry." Li Xiaoxuan said softly, "It is my blessing to have your momentary favor and linger with Mr. Zhang, if you don't dislike it, I want to follow you." ”

"Follow me?" Zhang Yang asked rhetorically.

"Xiaoxuan didn't dare to think anything wrong." Li Xiaoxuan bit her lip and said, "I just want to be by your side when you need me, even if it's just to listen to you." ”

"It's too humble to say." Zhang Yang pinched Li Xiaoxuan's fair face and hummed lightly.

Li Xiaoxuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had misheard.

When he reacted, he immediately stepped forward happily and gave Zhang Yang a hug.

"Be light, don't wake the kid." Zhang Yang looked at Tongtong, whose eyelashes fluttered, and reminded him.

"Hmm." Li Xiaoxuan nodded briskly, "Then you go back to rest early, you are free..." Come and see me when you have time, I'll wait for you. ”

··

After a while, Zhang Yang left first, thought about it, and went home.

Zhang Zhaohai and his family have been busy opening a second store recently, and I heard that the location of the store is also set on Dongyuan Road, a food street where all kinds of mid-to-high-end restaurants gather.

Although now my parents' restaurant has a BUFF piled up at the bottom, you can toss it no matter how you want.

But as a son, if you should ask and care, you still have to ask and care.

"Well, haven't you come back yet?" Downstairs in his residential building, Zhang Yang looked at the empty parking space, said to himself, parked the car and went upstairs first.

When he went home and washed, he didn't have long after he entered the room.

There was a burst of laughter in the living room outside the bedroom, and as soon as I heard it, the two of them had returned.

"What's your turnover today?"

"This number..." Song Wenqin replied.

In the middle of the night, the laughter of the two suddenly came together.

"Mom and Dad, are you back?" Zhang Yang shook his head and smiled, and walked out of the bedroom.

"Huh? Son, you're at home. ”

The couple were quite surprised to see Zhang Yang rarely at home.

"It's good to be at home, I just had a sales deal with your mother." Zhang Zhaohai smiled with a spring breeze on his face, "It's just climbing higher and higher... Your mother and I can't wait, so we're going to open the second store before the National Day, anyway, just change the door. ”

He couldn't wait to lure the diners who waited every day to the new restaurant.

"In such a hurry?" Zhang Yang was surprised.

"It can't be said to be an official opening, let's try to open it first to see the effect." Song Wenqin added on the side, "Auntie and everything have been arranged in advance, and the chef will pull a few people from the first restaurant first." ”

"When, exactly?" Zhang Yang asked again.

"The trial operation is not so particular, and it will be the day after tomorrow." Zhang Zhaohai said.

The prosperity of the first store has long made him put aside those cumbersome details, and he just wants to open the second store as quickly as possible.

"It's okay... Anyway..." Zhang Yang said half of the sentence.

"Anyway what?" Zhang Zhaohai looked at the two at the same time.

"It's nothing, I wish our second store will continue to prosper." Zhang Yang said in one sentence, "It's not early, I'll go to sleep first, and you should also hurry up and rest." ”

Approaching the bedroom, he could vaguely hear his parents muttering in the living room.

"Listening to Zhang Yang's tone, it seems that he doesn't care much about our restaurant, it seems that it doesn't matter if the business is good or bad."

"Who knows, you know what a big business your son is doing out there? It's not surprising that I can't look down on this small restaurant at home..."

"There is a smell of women's perfume on my body, I think Zhang Yang's personal problems are a little self-indulgent, I will definitely talk to him another day..."

Zhang Yang was speechless when he heard it.

Who is the one who pays silently? It's him, right?

Without a system BUFF, can the restaurant at home be so smooth? In the end, I don't care about the restaurant at home, I obviously have absolute confidence, okay?

He shook his head, undressed, and fell asleep.

··

The day before the soft opening, everything was calm.

Zhang Yang went to his own property, the Four Seasons Hotel in Yinghai, to listen to the following series of hotel arrangements during the National Day.

Zhang Zhaohai and Song Wenqin are the final preparations before the trial operation.

Inside the Haiqin Restaurant.

"Master Liu, over there in the second store, you will take a few apprentices to take care of it first, and I will arrange the rest of the manpower as soon as possible." Zhang Zhaohai smiled and handed a cigarette to Lao Liu, the chef of Haiqin Restaurant.

This Lao Liu is the first chef he recruited, he is quite hard-working, and he cooks very solid dishes.

A few apprentices are also equivalent to his apprentices, and a group of people can be regarded as holding up half of the kitchen sky.

"Hmm..." Lao Liu took the cigarette and responded sullenly, "This... Boss Zhang·· Recently, the store has been busy like this, is it possible to raise wages again? ”

"It's not... Has it just risen? Zhang Zhaohai said with a smile.

"Other restaurants have off-peak seasons, on average, it doesn't matter if they are busy in peak seasons, but our family is busy every day, and why are you busy, I think Boss Zhang also knows that it is not the customer who recognizes my craftsmanship?" Lao Liu Yin said proudly.

"This... Okay, that's easy to say. Zhang Zhaohai was also unambiguous, "Master Liu, you go to the second store first to help me stabilize the store, and the salary increase will definitely be no problem." ”

"Okay, I include a few apprentices below me, and I know that you are always refreshed, so let's do it first!" Lao Liu nodded.

He is not afraid of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, because he feels that now that the restaurant business is so good, he has played an irreplaceable role, and Zhang Zhaohai will certainly not have the idea of stabilizing him and then replacing him.

Suddenly, he took a few apprentices to get busy first.

Zhang Zhaohai stood in place for a while, looking at the kitchen for a long time.

"Trouble."

He walked out, his thoughts racing.

It's not that it's reluctant to pay this salary, but if a restaurant only relies on individual chefs, it is still quite dangerous, and the ideal state is that no matter who the chef is replaced, Haiqin Restaurant is still Haiqin Restaurant.

The reputation remains the same, and the status remains the same.

Moreover, human appetites are never satisfied. I got a salary increase today, what about next time?

This time bomb is really a huge hidden danger worth paying attention to.

But it's really replaced... Will the business of your own restaurant really not be affected?

Although he didn't say it, deep down, he still felt that his business was so good, and in the final analysis, the taste of the food was excellent.

He didn't dare to take risks lightly.

··

Early the next morning, Haiqin Restaurant on Dongyuan Road. All the relevant preparations for the soft opening are in place.

Zhang Zhaohai and Song Wenqin came to the second store of Haiqin Restaurant early, checked and filled in the gaps, from the kitchen to the hall, inside and out, to ensure that nothing went wrong.

"All the notices of the first store have been posted, right?" Song Wenqin asked.

"The old customers have been notified in advance, and the group has also said it." Zhang Zhaohai said.

The first wave of customer flow during the trial operation must be the old customers that the first store can't bear, and the full customer flow every day and the diners who can't bear it are the confidence for them to decisively open the second store.

Now, the notification is also notified.

Now we will wait for the noon opening situation.

The two of them glanced at each other, a little apprehensive in their hearts, "I hope everything goes well." ”

Whether the second store on Dongyuan Road can start or not is almost related to the development of Haiqin Restaurant in the future, and it is definitely the most important thing at present.

In the neighborhoods outside Haiqin Restaurant, the proprietors and wives of several long-standing shops on Dongyuan Road came out to see the excitement.

"This new store wants to make money, it's crazy, right? Come and grab business with us? Is it still in such a hurry for a soft opening? The proprietress of the TECO family looked at the Haiqin Restaurant and couldn't help but shake her head and smile. The owner of this house, what's the matter! ”

"I don't know, I heard that there seems to be a new store in the north, and the business is very good, by the way, last time I saw the boss and his family open a Bentley Maybach, which was quite bluffing."

"Opening a store on Dongyuan Road is really not easy to use with money."

A group of people talked about it, and the reputation and confidence of the long-established store made them feel inexplicably confident.

Towards noon, each store will open for business.

The parking lot in front of their respective doors comes and goes, and the traffic is endless. Each one of them opened its doors and welcomed customers.

At first glance, every household is quite business-oriented.

At the entrance of Haiqin Restaurant Dongyuan Road:

Zhang Zhaohai and Song Wenqin are also preparing to open the door to welcome guests.

"It's time for dinner, right?" Zhang Zhaohai muttered, and the probe looked out.

"Almost, huh? Isn't that what happened over there? As soon as Song Wenqin's words fell, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she saw a car driving in the distance and stopped at the door of her house.

Immediately afterwards, the welcoming voices of the clerks at the door rang in my ears.

Suddenly, the two of them were overjoyed.

"Welcome, welcome."

"This way, please, this way!"

From the first car, one car after another.

All the waiters were full of energy, and the empty hall and box were gradually filled.

Twelve o'clock away.

The second store of Haiqin Restaurant has reproduced the glory of the first store.

Zhang Zhaohai and Song Wenqin welcomed visitors from all over the world, and a heart that was still a little hanging finally slowly fell into their hearts.

"Looks stable."

Zhang Zhaohai muttered to himself, his expression relaxed.

Between lunches, he went down and walked around to see the feedback from the guests.

Sure enough, the feedback was as good as ever.

Everyone praises the taste of hometown.

"The second store will be opened, and then you will be able to gain a firm foothold on Dongyuan Road." He muttered to himself.

To be able to gain a firm foothold on this huge Dongyuan Road, their Haiqin Restaurant can be regarded as stepping on the real track in the real sense.

At this moment, the business status of Haiqin Restaurant has naturally been concerned by the surrounding neighbors.

No one wants such an unknown person to catch up in business.

"What's the situation? Is business really that good? The proprietress of the TECO house next door took advantage of the fact that the meal had passed and came out to take a look.

In another store, even if the store is still full, the new arrivals are scattered.

But right now, Haiqin Restaurant is still full of new customers.

"Old Sun, Old Sun, come out and take a look." The proprietress frowned and dragged out the shopkeeper who was still in the store.

"What's going on?" The shopkeeper walked out, frowned and asked.

"Look at the new restaurant next door, how can this business be like this!" The proprietress said a little uncalmly.

"What's the hurry?" The boss went out and took a look, "People have a trial operation, and there are always some old customers and friends who come to cheer, what's the fuss." ”

"Cheers? At noon, are you still cheering after the meal? "The hostess raised her voice.

"It's not that I'm talking about you, the one in front of me just opened like this, in fact, didn't it dry yellow later? Calm down, we've been a store for many years. The boss shook his head, turned around and walked into the restaurant.

"Is it possible?" The proprietress stood outside the door, muttering motionlessly.

That night, the second store of Haiqin Restaurant reproduced the grand scene at noon, and it was not until eleven or twelve o'clock in the middle of the night that it was barely closed.

And that's just the first day of business.

Next, for several days in a row, the business of Haiqin Restaurant did not cool down at all, but it was like cooking oil on a fire, booming, and even attracted a wave of regular customers from several restaurants around it.

Suddenly, on Dongyuan Road, many restaurant owners and proprietress were a little unable to sit still.

On this day, before noon.

"Huh? Mr. Zhou, come to dinner. The proprietress of the TECO family stood at the door early, and then suddenly saw an old acquaintance.

"Huh? Oh, hostess, hello hello. Mr. Zhou parked the car.

"Please, how many people are there today?" The hostess warmly invited.

Suddenly, Mr. Zhou looked a little embarrassed.

"Today, I won't eat here today, I'll eat next door, my friends will have a treat, next time... Come next time by all means. He said hello.

As soon as these words came out, the proprietress suddenly looked a little frozen.

Mr. Zhou just left on the front foot, and a car came again on the back foot.

"Boss, stop the car temporarily, please." The window was lowered, and a middle-aged man said hello.

"Don't stop our house if you don't come to eat." The proprietress said a little angrily.

"Help, there's no parking space next door, it's a big deal I'll pay for parking." The man continued to laugh.

"You're here, what about our guests? No, don't! The proprietress said unceremoniously.

"Okay." The man had no choice but to drive away.

In the same place, the proprietress looked uncertain, stood in place for a long time, and looked back at the hall that was full of friends in the past, but today it is a lot empty.

Finally, she couldn't hold it anymore.

"I want to see why their business is so good!"

After a while, she disguised herself and walked to the Haiqin Restaurant next door in a low-key manner, ready to take a look.
