Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 164 Fuying Restaurant
This "Brother Shen Xian" is about 27 or [-] years old. He is wearing a moon-white fox fur cloak and a moon-white young master's robe underneath. He has a beautiful jade silk ribbon around his waist. His eyebrows are like crescent moons, his eyes are like bright stars, and his face is clear-cut. I really thought he was a handsome young man.

I saw him smiling gracefully at the crowd, without being too polite with Yinzhen, he sat down in a big way, and he didn't forget to ask: "Who are these..."

Yinzhen then said: "This is Mr. Zhang Tingyu, who was being reviewed by the Imperial Academy. This is Mr. Xue, the Secretary of General Administration, and his two sons. The brochure that I showed you the day before yesterday was the result of Mr. Xue's discussion with all the merchants."

"Oh? I'm here, Shen Wei, and present to all the adults. The fourth master said that there are more specific business plans besides the brochure. I don't know if you can let me have a look."

Yinzhen smiled and said, "It's natural."

When Shen Wei got the business plan and read it carefully several times, he was shocked: "Whose idea was this?"

Yinzhen smiled and said, "I had the same reaction as you when I first saw this plan. This item can be regarded as a great success in the business of merchants in the capital. What do you think? It may make money?"

"Yes, it's so capable!" Shen Wei sighed, "If the old Shen family could come up with such a business plan in the early years, why worry that the Shen family will not recover?"

Xue Yi said: "The Shen family? Shen Wansan, a wealthy businessman from the Ming Dynasty..."

Shen Wei said: "Ashamed, ashamed, it is the ancestor."

All business people are respectful when they meet people surnamed Fan and Shen. Fan Li and Shen Wansan can be regarded as models of businessmen and role models to learn from.

When Xue Yi heard that Shen Wei was Shen Wansan's descendant, he led Xue Pan and Xue Hong to stand up and make a solemn bow before sitting down and continuing to chat and laugh.

Xue Yidao: "Seeing that Brother Shen talks open-mindedly, he doesn't seem like an ordinary businessman. I wonder where Brother Shen lives now?"

Shen Wei said with a smile: "Walking in the rivers and lakes, the four seas are my home."

This answer surprised Xue Yi, and Yinzhen said with a smile: "Brother Shen Xian has good martial arts skills. He is not a businessman, but a knight."

Looking at this man again, I can see that his words and deeds are like a quack, not like a scholar who is sour and stubborn, nor like a martial artist who is reckless and rough, but he has won the favor of Xue's father and son, and they are both businessmen. We found a common topic and had a good chat.

In the next few days of getting along with each other, Xue Yi found that Shen Wei was an extremely chic character, and he also had ways and means to deal with scriptures. Especially when he visited the half-decorated shop, Shen Wei himself also proposed a lot of constructive ideas. sexual opinions.

People who speak the same language will feel very comfortable in communication, and Shen Wei's shrewdness made Xue's father and son happy as if they had found a bosom friend.

To the outside world, Shen Wei is the big shopkeeper of this restaurant, and Xue's family is Shen Wei's close friends, and they have spared no effort to help in the operation and management of this restaurant.

Xue Hong has put a lot of effort into the western menu and western decoration.

After many twists and turns with Shen Wei, he finally found Mr. George, the painter of Ruyi Restaurant. He heard that there is such a restaurant in Beijing that is willing to sell Western-style food, but he was very skeptical, and confirmed it with Shen Wei over and over again. , after being affirmed by Shen Wei, he was very happy to live in the restaurant with his bedroll in his arms.

After returning from work in the palace during the day, I would sit in the kitchen and teach all the western dishes I knew, such as steaks, cakes, sandwiches, salads, and baked rice, to the chefs of the hotel.

For this reason, after teaching all the dishes, the cheese that George brought from his hometown thousands of miles away is almost used up. He is working hard to develop fresh cheese recently, not only for the operation of the new restaurant, but also to comfort his own home sick.

The Xue family is responsible for the training of new employees. For this matter, Xue Hong called it to Xue Ping, the chief steward of the Xue family caravan.

Xue Ping has been in charge of the personnel scheduling of the Xue family caravan for many years. Although the training method Xue Hong told him is unheard of, but fortunately Xue Ping has a very strong ability to accept it.

Half a month before the decoration of the store in the twelfth lunar month, doormen, grooms, accountants, Chinese and Western food chefs, waiters in charge of the buffet area, waiters in the accommodation area, and cleaners in each area were all in place.And the pre-preparation of various dishes is also well prepared.

On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, the restaurant under the name of the fourth elder brother Yinzhen ushered in the opening day.

Xue Hong got up early in the morning, and followed her parents in a carriage to the door of the restaurant. Shen Wei had already dressed up to welcome them, and brought them to the private room on the second floor. Looking down from the private room, you could just see the gate of the restaurant .

After a long while, there was a lot of traffic in front of the restaurant. Previously, the restaurant staff distributed opening red envelopes and coupons here every day. Today was the opening day, and people who were full of curiosity about the new restaurant almost burst through the restaurant's entrance.

I don’t know who calculated the time, but the attendant beside Shen Wei shouted: "The auspicious time has come, welcome to the altar table."

As soon as the words came out, there was the sound of drums, firecrackers, and two gorgeous colorful lions chasing a hydrangea. The employees held red envelopes in their hands, which contained free experience coupons for West Point.

After the sound of firecrackers stopped, two colorful lions stacked on top of each other and "bited" the red silk on the restaurant's plaque with one bite, and the four flying golden characters of Fuying Restaurant came into view.

"Good! Good!"

This kind of opening ceremony is very lively, and people who pass by are talking about it.

Shen Wei raised his voice with a smile on his face: "Everyone, Fuying Restaurant is open today, with big discounts for the opening, free board and lodging, half-price pastry, and users who get pastry experience coupons can also get a pastry for free!"

In fact, more than half of the passing guests at the door didn't understand what Shen Wei said, but they could still understand the word "free".Then go in.

After entering, everyone was dumbfounded.

"What's going on here? Why are these dishes served raw?"

"Hey, come and see, why is there an oven in the middle of this table?"

"So this is pastry? Wow~ It's so sweet, so fragrant, so delicious!"

"What's the smell? It smells so good, I haven't eaten this kind of food before!"

……

The guests who came in to eat had already been refreshed by the novel restaurant and the novel form of dining, and the guests staying upstairs followed up with a new round of exclamation.

"Wow~ This mural is so beautiful, it's like being there."

"What style is this? Do foreigners live in houses like this?"

"This furniture...golden nanmu...my God, if it's not free, how much money will it cost for a night?"

"If you want me to say, it's worth the money. I've never lived in such a house in my life!"
