By the time Scarface directed people to move things into the backyard, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhang Junping said hello to Lao Ma, left Dashilar with Scarface, and rode to the restaurant outside Guang'an Gate.
"Master Zhang! Brother Shan!" Ding Zhaoxiang was already standing at the door waiting.
"How is it? What did Master Yu say?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
Although Ding Zhaoxiang didn't go to him, which meant that Master Yu knew how to handle the seafood, Zhang Junping still asked.
"Master Yu said that his hometown is in Jiaodong, and seafood is a skill passed down from his ancestors, so I can rest assured." Ding Zhaoxiang said with a smile.
"Okay! You'll know after you taste it.
If it's really good, then next year our restaurant will add more special dishes." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
When I walked into the restaurant, I found that the waiters had not left and were busy shuttling back and forth in the lobby on the first floor.
Zhang Junping looked back at Ding Zhaoxiang.
"Master Zhang, Manager Dong said that the training is almost complete.
She knew we were having dinner tonight, so she took the initiative to ask the waiter to practice it.
When I thought about it, the people eating today are all my own, and I can bear with any mistakes, so I agreed to Manager Dong's suggestion." Ding Zhaoxiang hurriedly reported.
"Yes!" Zhang Junping nodded, "This is a good suggestion!
Let me tell you brothers that you can give feedback on the service of the waiters, but no one is allowed to molest other girls."
"I know, Mr. Zhang. Don't worry about this. You all know that this is our own business, and no one dares to be presumptuous." Scarface said with a smile.
"Yeah!" Zhang Junping nodded.
When Zhang Junping and three others came in, the hall on the first floor was already full of people.
They are all following Scarface’s younger brother, already younger brother’s younger brother.
Scarface called all the younger brothers here today, and it was considered a Chinese New Year dinner.
Seeing Zhang Junping, Scarface, and Ding Zhaoxiang come in, they both stood up immediately.
They don't know Zhang Junping, but they know their boss.
Monkey Three ran over in a hurry.
"Master Zhang, Brother Shan, Brother Xiang." Hou San bent down slightly and greeted the three of them.
Zhang Junping glanced at Hou San and shook his head slightly. Hou San still couldn't change his habit of being groveling.
"Master Zhang, there are so many people below and it's very noisy. Let's go drink in the private room on the third floor." Ding Zhaoxiang greeted Hou San first, and then said to Zhang Junping with a smile.
"Okay! Let's go up to the third floor and try out the private room." Zhang Junping readily agreed to Ding Zhaoxiang's suggestion.
There is no need for him to pretend to be approachable, and there is no need to win over the hearts of the people downstairs.
Being able to invite Scarface and his men to dinner today is already enough honor.
Zhang Junping, led by Ding Zhaoxiang, strolled to the third floor.
There are a total of twelve private rooms on the third floor. This kind of restaurant was considered a very big restaurant in the past, but in Zhang Junping's opinion, it is still too small.
This can only be done for now, and we will find land to build a larger restaurant later.
Entering the private room, the interior was very simple and elegant, with the old-fashioned feel of an old BJ restaurant.
This was specially instructed by Zhang Junping, and Scarface executed it very well.
Zhang Junping knew very well that in the next twenty years, hotels with western-style decoration would be more popular, but Zhang Junping still chose this decoration style.
What he wants to do is not just to make money, but to build a restaurant chain brand.
The style of the restaurant must be determined from the beginning.
It’s the old taste of a century-old restaurant.
As for business, Zhang Junping is really not worried.
Because his restaurant had a head start.
His restaurant can be said to be BJ's and even the first private restaurant in the country.
When the restaurant opens for business, invite some leaders of the units with whom you have good relationships to come over to taste the dishes and introduce your parents to them.
With these two advantages, if you can’t afford it, it’s a waste.
Then simply stop doing anything, just go fishing if you have nothing to do, go on a round-the-world trip or something, and retire in peace.
Zhang Junping naturally took the main seat without hesitation, with Scarface and Ding Zhaoxiang sitting next to him.
Starting in sequence, there are several second-level mini-bosses such as Hou San, Ding Zhaoxiang, Qiangzi and the other four Vajras are the first-level mini-bosses.
There are no associations like Xiangjiang in China, and there is no clear association structure, so team management is relatively chaotic.
"This is Mr. Zhang. Some of you know him, some of you have only heard of him, but have never met him. Let's get to know him today.
After saving, I bumped into Mr. Zhang.
Scarface, I am what I am today, thanks to the support of Master Zhang. From now on, when you see Master Zhang, you should respect him more than you respect me." After everyone was seated, Scarface stood up and introduced Zhang Junping.
Get to know your younger brothers.
"Da Shan, what you are today mainly depends on your ability, knowing how to do things, and being able to do things.
Otherwise, if you are Adou, even if I have the skills of Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei, I still can't help you.
So, instead of thanking me, you should thank yourself and these brothers who work hard with you." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Master Zhang, you are so humble. I know how much you have helped me..."
"What's the matter? Are you drunk before you even drink the wine? Sit down quickly and let the waiter serve the food. I see that Hou San can't wait and his saliva is almost flowing out." Zhang Junping interrupted Scarface with a smile.
After the conversation was over, the banquet officially began.
The first thing to come were twelve cold dishes.
Master Yu knew that the big boss was coming for dinner today, so he tried his best to cook twelve exquisite and delicious cold dishes under limited conditions.
Don't underestimate these twelve cold dishes. Making twelve side dishes under limited conditions and tight time will test your cooking skills more than making twelve big dishes.
"Haha! Dashan, the chef you hired is pretty good just by looking at these twelve cold dishes!" Zhang Junping praised with a smile.
"Master Zhang, Master Yu is a second-level chef. If you hadn't asked Director Xu to come forward, the Third Cotton Mill would never have let him go." Scarface did not take the credit, but gave it to Zhang Junping.
"It's not easy to become a second-level chef in the Third Cotton Mill. Not only must you be good at cooking, but you must also be a human being." Zhang Junping did not give in to Scarface, he just knew what he was doing.
.
The level of chefs and workers are inversely related.
The ranks of workers, from lowest to highest, are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 78.
The level of the chef is 54321.
The reason why Master Yu is only a second-level chef is not because he is not good enough, but because he is restricted by the working environment and work unit.
Many factory chefs work all their lives and end up as third-level chefs until they die. However, the apprentices they bring out are chefs and special chefs in various large hotels and high-end luxury hotels.
This is actually in response to the old saying that a real dragon cannot be raised in shallow water.
After the cold dishes were served, Scarface called for the wine to be poured.
"Wait a minute, ask the waiter to remove the wine cup and replace it with a glass wine glass. These are gentlemen, drinking from this thing is too annoying."
"Master Zhang, our store doesn't buy that kind of goblet because you told us to take the traditional route." Scarface explained quickly.
"Do you have a wine bowl? If you have a wine bowl, replace it with a wine bowl. If you don't have one, replace it with a tea bowl! Let's eat a lot of meat and drink from a big bowl today!"
Scarface quickly asked the waiter to change it into a tea bowl.
After replacing the tea bowl, he started pouring wine again.
"Come on, the cold dishes are here and the wine is full. Let's go first. Everyone has been very hard this year and has experienced a lot. However, we should all make less money, right?" Zhang Junping looked at the knife with a smile.
Scarface.
Scarface smiled and nodded.
Scarface did much better than Lin San in this area. He was very generous to his brothers and gave most of the money he earned to his younger brothers.
"Then our first drink is a celebration bar! Celebrate that you all have made money so that your parents, wife and children can live a good life.
Man! No matter how famous you are outside, you can only be considered a successful man if you can make your family live a good life.
I believe you are all successful men!" Zhang Junping raised his wine glass and said a toast.
"Master Zhang, what should we do without wives?" Hou San coaxed.
"Langlan, I'm not responsible for getting a wife, so what's the use of you looking for me?" Zhang Junping scolded with a smile: "It's not that you don't have money, you should boldly chase after the girl in the photo! You are still waiting for her to turn around.
Chasing you?
None of them look very good, but I think they are quite beautiful!
Come on!
Drink! If you drink it all, I wish him to find a beautiful and virtuous wife next year. If there is any leftover wine, let him be a bachelor for the rest of his life." After Zhang Junping finished speaking, he took the lead to finish a glass of wine.
Everyone laughed and drank the wine in one breath.
If you lose, you don't lose. Today's first glass of wine must be drunk no matter what.
If anyone keeps a drink, not only will he be laughed at, but Scarface will probably not take him there again next time there is such an occasion.
The food was served very quickly. The first glass of wine here was just finished, and four more dishes were served there, two meat and two vegetarian.
"Try them all! You have sold a lot of this yellow croaker, and I guess many people have never tasted it." Zhang Junping smiled and invited everyone to eat.
Zhang Junping was the first to pick up a piece of fish with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and tasted it slowly.
Today, in addition to drinking with Scarface, we also have food tasting to see how good Master Yu's craftsmanship is.
Dishes pay attention to color, flavor and taste. From the outside, the color of this dish is still very good, but compared with later generations and BJ Hotel, the state banquet is still a lot worse.
It's not that the fried vegetables didn't look good, but the presentation was not very particular and there were no garnishes for decoration.
This is not because Master Yu is not good enough, but because he has been cooking in the factory cafeteria for a long time and has not developed such a habit.
The taste is still very good. The braised rhubarb flowers in soy sauce not only retain the delicate and tender fish meat, but also add flavor.
"Da Shan, go back and take Master Yu to BJ Restaurant and eat all the food there." Zhang Junping put down his chopsticks and whispered to Scarface.
"Master Zhang, what's the problem? The food doesn't suit your taste?" Scarface was stunned and asked quickly.
"The food tastes great! But some details are not done enough. It doesn't matter if we eat it ourselves, but we are running a high-end restaurant, so we must pay attention to some details.
You take Master Yu to eat in various restaurants of BJ Hotel and see how their dishes are cooked and how they are plated, and Master Yu will understand."
"I know, Mr. Zhang! I will ask Xiangzi to take Master Yu to the BJ Hotel tomorrow tomorrow." Scarface originally wanted to say that he would take Master Yu to the BJ Hotel tomorrow, but then he thought that he would still be there tomorrow.
Mission, he quickly changed his words.
"There's no rush. It's the end of the year. Everyone is busy, and there are probably a lot of things at home. It's okay to go after the new year." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
After talking for a while and all the dishes were eaten, Zhang Junping picked up the wine glass again.
"Everyone has made a lot of money this year, but have you noticed that your parents and wives are not so happy?
On the contrary, are you worried about the money you take home?
Why?
Because, in their view, the money you earn is illegal! Once investigated by the authorities, you are at risk of going to jail at any time.
Therefore, after they got the money, they were not happy at most, but worried." Zhang Junping said to everyone with a smile while holding a wine glass.
Zhang Junping's words touched everyone's heart. This is indeed the situation at home. Even if he takes home a lot of money, his parents don't dare to spend it.
Afraid of bringing disaster upon oneself.
"I have talked about this with Dashan before! I arranged an identity for him in Xiangjiang. I also hope that you will be able to take the money home openly in the future. Your parents will no longer be worried and can spend it happily."
money.
As the country reforms and opens up, there will be many opportunities to make money in legitimate ways.
I won’t say much more about this. I’ll let Dashan tell you slowly later.
With this second glass of wine, I wish everyone can earn reasonable and legal RMB, and earn more RMB under reasonable and legal circumstances."
Everyone laughed again and drank the wine.
Next, Zhang Junping did not continue to host the wine party, but handed the initiative to Scarface.
If he continues to host the meal, he will probably have to drink half of it before all the dishes are served.
Two glasses of wine already weighed more than half a catty, and Zhang Junping saw several people holding on to drink.
"Let Master Yang and Master Ma go home on holiday tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, let them go home and be busy in the New Year."
"I understand, Mr. Zhang."
"What other supplies do you have over there? It's the Chinese New Year, and they have been busy for a few months. Give them something." Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
"Master Zhang, where else can I find anything else?
You don’t know how crazy people are nowadays. As soon as something arrives, it will be snatched away from you in the blink of an eye.
In addition, several other stubborn owners in the pigeon market came to me to ask for goods, but I had no choice but to give them to them, so I gave them a large portion.
The remaining one-third, if I hadn't kept it tight, the things you gave me would have been sold out in one day." Scarface said with a wry smile.
"Yeah! I understand! I'll contact you tonight to see if I can get another batch of supplies.
Give each of Master Yang and Master Ma five kilograms of soybean oil, ten kilograms of rice, and ten meters of cotton cloth." Zhang Junping said while checking the remaining supplies in his space.
In addition, there are a lot of seafood in the space, but after tasting Master Yu's cooking skills, Zhang Junping was reluctant to sell those seafood.
He planned to leave all the seafood to the restaurant.
"I know, Master Zhang." Scarface agreed.
Next, Zhang Junping didn't talk to Scarface about work anymore, he just drank and ate food and listened to the bragging of his younger brother.
During this period, Scarface and others went down one after another to toast the younger brother below.
From time to time, younger brothers would come in to toast.
Zhang Junping didn't speak, he just drank and ate quietly until the end.
After leaving the restaurant, Zhang Junping rode his bicycle alone to the Dashilar Courtyard.
Open the courtyard door and go in.
He didn't turn on the lights, and then the dim moonlight came to the backyard.
I put all the things I brought back today into the museum space, then locked the door and left.
Although I have gained a lot, I basically have all the collection categories in my museum space.
However, Zhang Junping had no sense of accomplishment at all.
I don’t have the sense of accomplishment I felt after working so hard to receive an antique in my previous life.
Maybe this is what you gain and lose!
After being reborn, if you still want to go to the countryside, go to an old house, buy and exchange antiques one by one, and enjoy the fun of treasure hunting.
Zhang Junping felt that it was not fun, but a very stupid behavior.
Because, with experience that is decades ahead of the world, you can make more money doing anything than collecting antiques.
If you don't have the time to dig out an old house, why not do something else, make money, and then buy it directly from some antique store.
This saves you worry and effort, the time you save can make you more money, and the antiques you buy can still increase in value.
Of course, if you become successful and famous, you no longer have to worry about official duties and will have a lot of time at your disposal.
Instead, you can go to the countryside to make some money, wander around the antique streets, and enjoy the fun of shopping for treasures.
However, Zhang Junping has not reached that point yet.
After being reborn, with golden fingers by his side, Zhang Junping was not willing to just acquire a bunch of antiques and become a collector.
I'm so sorry for traveling back in time, and sorry for my golden finger.
Perhaps when he first traveled through time, Zhang Junping only thought about how there were so many antiques in this era, so he could make more money and collect more antiques to enrich his museum space.
However, Zhang Junping's mind has changed now.
He wants to write his own legend in this era.
We must leave our own shadow and carve our own mark in the wave of national reform and opening up.
Therefore, Zhang Junping now buys old objects not for collection, but just to acquire skills.
As for the fun of Taobao, wait until you realize your dream before enjoying it.
With this in mind, Zhang Junping walked around in a circle and returned to the Guang'an Gate and arrived at the warehouse.
Looking around to see if there was no one around, he opened the door of the warehouse. Zhang Junping went in and closed the door from the inside.
The warehouse that was filled with supplies just a few days ago has now become empty.
Zhang Junping took out half of the cotton cloth in the space, and also took out part of the woolen material.
It filled two entire rooms.
He went to another room and took out a thousand kilograms of soybean oil and a thousand kilograms of peanut oil.
He doesn't have much space left, and there are still about two thousand kilograms of soybean oil and peanut oil left. These can no longer be sold and must be kept for the restaurant.
There was still a lot of rice and wheat in the space, so Zhang Junping took out another ten tons of rice.
