Chapter 132 Chabalou Restaurant Opens

Ten days later.

The day when Chabalou Restaurant opens for business.

Today happens to be the weekend, Sunday, and the school is not in session. There is no need to ask for leave to attend the opening ceremony of Chabalou Restaurant.

"Aunt Han, Sister Xiaoxing, morning."

"Zao Xiaokun."

"Where's Brother Xiaowu, is it over like this?"

"Brother Wuzi hasn't come back these days and has been staying at the hotel. By the way, Xiaokun, Brother Wuzi said that the tea shop will open at nine o'clock. I'll go and call Uncle Guan. Let's go there together later."

"Okay, I'll call Jingping, and we'll meet at the alley in a while."

It opened at nine o'clock. Yang Yukun checked the time. It was now seven o'clock, two hours before the official opening of Chabalou.

Yang Yukun went out to his father-in-law's house in the alley next door, and found that Xu Jingping was alone at home, and his father-in-law and others were not there.

"Jingping, where are our dad and the others?"

"My parents went to Qianmen Street, the eldest sister went out to play with Taiping Houkui, and Jingtian took Black Panther to her classmate's house."

"Come on, let's go to the tea shop."

After waiting at the entrance of the alley for a while, Uncle Guan, Mother Han, and Meng Xiaoxing came out of the alley next to them.

"Uncle Guan, Aunt Han, Sister Xiao Xing."

Uncle Guan glanced at Yang Yukun and said, "Boy, you haven't been to my courtyard for a long time."

Yang Yukun smiled and said, "I will go to your small courtyard to have a few drinks with you when I have time another day and have a few dishes."

"Your master won't be able to get through this job in a while?"

"I'll definitely go. Maybe he'll be waiting for you to drink at the teahouse."

"Walk."

After a while, the five of them arrived at the Chabalou Restaurant on Qianmen Street.

Sure enough, his master had arrived and was drinking tea and chatting with his father-in-law, mother-in-law and several others.

This time when the Chabalou Restaurant opened, Han Chunming also invited two senior figures, Mr. Niu and Mr. Pian'er.

"Master Hou, Master Niu, Master Pian'er."

Bashahou said, "Hey, old man Guan, you're here, the rest of us got there before you.

Logically speaking, you are Xiaowu's master. When your apprentice's restaurant opens for business, you, the master, are considered half the owners, so you should arrive first.

As a result, you are the latest to arrive, and you will have to punish yourself with three drinks in a while."

Mr. Niu smiled and said, "Master Hou is right. Old man Guan, you are late."

Mr. Pian'er smiled and said, "Uncle Guan, we arrived an hour ago and drank several pots of tea. If you are late, you will have to drink as a penalty."

"Okay, I'll punish myself with three drinks later, the bartender."

Today, these three old drinking buddies found out that he was late and wanted to punish him with drinking.

On drinking.

Except for this guy Yang Yukun, no one in Qianmen Building can put him down.

Not to mention punishing yourself with three drinks, even if you punish yourself with thirty drinks, even the wine admiral would not be afraid of it.

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "Uncle Guan, sister-in-law, sit here."

"Huizhen, sit down."

Mother Han took Xu Huizhen's hand, and the two chatted about home affairs.

"Uncle Guan, Auntie, Xiaokun... you are here."

Seeing Yang Yukun and others coming, Li Chengtao, the hotel manager, quickly came over to greet them.

"Brother Tao, where is Brother Xiaowu, where did he go?"

"We're making arrangements in the kitchen."

"I'll take a look."

Yang Yukun went to the kitchen and took a look, and found Han Chunming wearing a chef's uniform, working in style with the kitchen team.

"Hey, Chef Han, why did you do it yourself?"

"You're just kidding, I'm a professional. You can try my craftsmanship soon. It's no worse than the master chef at the Royal Capital Hotel."

Since he had already planned to open a restaurant, it was impossible for Han Chunming to be unprepared at all.

In the past two years, he has really learned cooking skills for a period of time.

He originally planned to cook by himself if he couldn't find a team of chefs.

"By the way, Xiaokun, have my mother and the others come over?"

"Here we come. Uncle Guan is also here. He is chatting with my master and the others in front."

"In this case, the only ones left are Xiaoli, my father-in-law, and Lao Yang and Tu Tu."

When he first started renovating the hotel, Han Chunming didn't tell Cai Xiaoli or his father-in-law.

Two days ago, he went to visit his future father-in-law and told Cai Xiaoli and his father-in-law about the Chabalou Restaurant.

When he and Li Chengtao opened a restaurant together, they agreed that Li Chengtao would serve as the hotel manager and coordinate and manage all the hotel's affairs.

Because he didn't want to trap himself in this small hotel.

Opening a restaurant is just a small part of his future career map.

The world outside is too big.

The spring breeze of reform is blowing everywhere.

This small restaurant cannot accommodate him.

Li Chengtao told him before that the hotel still needs a lobby manager, but no suitable candidate has been found.

Li Chengtao said that he should let Cai Xiaoli come over and support him for a while.

Han Chunming told Cai Xiaoli about this and asked her if she would like to work at the Chabalou Restaurant as the lobby manager.

After hearing that the restaurant had her own shares, Cai Xiaoli was naturally willing to come and help.

In fact, Han Chunming didn't really want his family to get involved in his business. He was afraid that sometimes it would be difficult for Li Chengtao to be a manager because of differences.

Let Cai Xiaoli come over to help for a while first, and when he finds a suitable candidate, he will let Cai Xiaoli leave.

"Chunming, Xiaokun."

"Lao Yang, map, buddy, the hotel is opening today, you two just come empty-handed?"

"Brother, just coming here is enough to give you face."

"That's right, what kind of gift do you want your buddy to prepare for you?"

Even though they were talking about ridicule, Yang Huajian and Mao Tutu did not act in vain.

A good friend's restaurant is open for business, and as a good friend, you must show something.

Yang Huajian gave Han Chunming a pair of ancient paintings from the Qing Dynasty, and rolled one over from his old man's study.

Of course, he had already obtained the consent of his old man, otherwise a meal of fried pork with belt would be indispensable.

Mao Tutu gave Han Chunming a piece of calligraphy, which he asked a very powerful calligrapher to write through his connections, with five large characters of "Chabalou Restaurant" like dragons and phoenixes dancing.

The signboard at the entrance of Chabalou Restaurant was handwritten by Han Chunming and then found a master to carve it in a one-to-one ratio.

This calligraphy sent by Mao Tu is very well written and very artistic.

This calligraphy is indeed the handiwork of a master. To be honest, it is indeed better than the one written by his master.

He planned to go back and take the calligraphy to Rongbaozhai over at Liulichang, have it framed, and hang it in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.

"Brother Jian, Brother Tu, why are you two looking at me? I didn't prepare any gifts. I came here empty-handed."

Yang Yukun really didn't prepare any gifts, not even a red envelope.

This time he came to attend the opening ceremony of Chabalou Restaurant, and he brought himself with him.

"Master Huang, the rest is up to you."

"Okay, leave it to us."

"Xiao Kun, Lao Yang, map, let's go to the front to have tea."

Han Chunming took off his chef uniform and invited Yang Yukun and the others to drink tea in the front hall.

After a while, Cai Xiaoli and her daughter rushed to the Chabalou Restaurant.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Han Chunming and Li Chengtao set off two firecrackers at the door, and the Chabalou Restaurant officially opened for business.

At 9:02, the hotel welcomed its first table of guests.
