British 1986

It was only then that Nix realized belatedly that he had also worked in sales before and recalled the process of coming in through the door.

As soon as he entered the door, he was first attracted by the huge TV pillar, then walked over and stopped.

Watching the news on the TV stopped for a few seconds, and then the TV at this position was at a height that only adults could see, but the children following the adults couldn't see it at such a height, so...

These children will inevitably look around, and when they look around, they can see the toy area in front.

This is a trap!

First attract the adults' attention and make them stop, then give the children time to observe their surroundings, and then

You are ready to spend!

Moreover, there is no room for regret in this thing. As long as you are cheated the first time, you will be cheated even more times in the future!

Now that I have an annual pass, wouldn’t it be a big loss if I can only come once a year?

Children know this supermarket and there are toys as soon as they enter the door. Then when parents take them to go shopping in the future, why don't they just go in?

Even if parents don't watch TV when they come in, they still have to buy toys as soon as they pass by!

Falk's vicious marketing methods.

This familiar feeling, familiar taste, standard Welsh Hill family deceiving style!

Nix looked at the price tag of the giant Transformer, which was 128 pounds, and then looked at his youngest son holding the Transformer with a happy smile, and felt his heart bleed.

After passing the children's toys section, Nicks looked at the children's clothing, children's shoes, and women's cosmetics section in the back with despair.

Everything here is checked out at the same time. With the mental preparation of the Transformers just now, when I compare the prices with other things, I feel that the psychological gap is instantly reduced a lot.

A toy can cost hundreds of pounds. Compared with other small clothes and shoes that cost a few pounds or more than ten pounds, Knicks even feels a bit cheap.

Along the way, he accompanied his wife and children to stuff the shopping cart in confusion. When he finally walked out of the area, Nicks had another shopping cart in his hand. The original cart was already filled with things from his wife and son. .

And it's only now that the vegetable and meat sections that Knicks have longed for appear in front of him.

At the front, what you see is an extremely elegant refrigerator preservation area.

The words "prepared dishes area" are placed across the top of this area.

Nicks was a little surprised when he saw this word.

How do you describe the concept of prepared dishes? It appeared very early and its scope is still very complex.

And for people nowadays, precooked food is not a derogatory term.

To a certain extent, things like canned food and instant noodles can also be considered as pre-prepared dishes.

However, the advertisements on Welsh TV these days are introducing some special pre-made dishes produced by Blue Knight.

This is tempting enough for British people who are not very good at cooking, whether they are English or Welsh.

For a middle-aged man who is an office worker, if his wife can’t cook all day long and only gives you salad, buttered bread, mashed potatoes and other meals, just watching the advertisements on TV will make him Already excited, now that he finally saw the prepared food section that he had been longing for, Nicks widened his eyes curiously and started walking around while pushing the cart.

"DF French Restaurant's Same Style Foie Gras" "DF French Restaurant's Same Style Cod Fish Braised"

"DF French Restaurant's Same Corn Cream Soup"

"DF French Restaurant's Same Style Small Baguette"

There are large packaging bags in each fresh-keeping cabinet, and each safe contains the same dishes from DF French Restaurant.

The so-called DF French Restaurant is the chain of French restaurants opened by Allen and Diana. As the general consultant, Diana has opened more than 70 restaurants in recent years, and it is quite famous.

And this name is taken from the initials of Diana's name.

Her real name is Diana Frances Spencer. The last surname must not be used. Only the first two are used. Together they are DF.

This brand is still very popular in Wales. It is carefully selected by the Princess of Wales. It is a representative of high-end restaurants. Apart from the price being a bit expensive, it has no other shortcomings.

Last year, Allen made up his mind to take the lead in establishing a central kitchen in Wales and implement a unified procurement and distribution system.

The central kitchen has now been established. The benefits of unified distribution of bulk purchases can greatly reduce costs, reduce the work pressure of store employees and increase the speed of food delivery.

But in this way, there are a lot of leftover materials, or materials that don’t sell well.

It would be a pity to throw these things away, so don’t throw them away. If you serve them, wouldn’t this damage the restaurant’s sign?

In the end, it was Allen who made the final decision. The remaining scraps were packaged in opaque packaging and turned into deeply processed pre-made dishes, which were sold to ordinary people in supermarkets.

Anyway, there is no problem with food safety of this thing. Except for the appearance, there is nothing wrong with it. I will try it in Wales first and wait for some time to see the feedback. If it works, I can expand the scale.

Nowadays, these so-called DF French restaurant's same pre-made dishes appear here naturally.

Maybe this thing is just similar to the same dish in that restaurant in terms of ingredients and taste, and it's definitely not a one-to-one replica, but given the price advantage, ordinary people can accept it.

Picking up a bag of corn cream soup, Nicks pinched the bag curiously.

This is a 500 ml bag of soup, not an ordinary thick soup or other low-end products.

You only need to open the package, pour it into a container, put it on the stove or in the microwave, and heat it for the specified time according to the instructions on the instructions.

easy and convenient!

Looking at so many types of pre-prepared dishes, Nick was very excited, and his hands unconsciously began to move into the shopping cart. He was going to get a few packages of each and taste them when he went back. Whichever one tasted better would be bought again in the future.

Boom, boom, boom.

Hearing a knock on the door, Allen pressed the electric switch and the study door opened.

Xiao Shitou pushed the dining cart in. Dahuang, who had been acting as a stepping stone for Allen, snored like a dead dog with his tongue hanging out. Allen stepped on its belly, and the furry feet felt good.

Perhaps because he smelled the fragrance coming from the dining car, Dahuang flicked his tail, climbed up, trotted all the way to his sleeping mat in the corner, picked up his big rice bowl, and dropped the rice bowl with a clang. At the desk, he sat at Allen's feet, eagerly waiting to eat.

"Master, it's tea time."

"Um"

Allen twisted his neck, glanced at several documents in his hand, sorted them out a little, cleared the area in front of the desk, and waited for the small stones to be placed on the plate.

Watching the almost golden tea soup pour into the teacup, Allen didn't like to add milk when drinking black tea, let alone sugar.

Maybe many people in Daying think that most people like to add milk when drinking tea, especially black tea, and think that everyone here drinks tea like this.

There are also high-end restaurants in foreign colonies that imitate the British tea-drinking habits, and come up with various tea sets and etiquette to describe the pure British aristocratic afternoon tea.

In the past, Allen often wanted to laugh when he saw such news or film and television clips.

This thing, how should I put it, is just like the old farmers at the bottom of China who imagined that when the emperor plowed the land, he must have used a golden hoe. It's ridiculous!

First of all, what is the tea drinking habit here in Great Britain? What is the brewing time for black tea?

five minutes!

Anyone who knows something about tea should know what this concept is.

For a Chinese who likes to drink tea, just these five minutes of boring tea time will make people laugh out loud.

Whether it’s green tea or black tea, simmer for five minutes

What a waste of good tea!

Moreover, regardless of whether it is bad or not, the tea soup brewed after five minutes will taste very bitter. Let’s just say that the tea brewed in this way can be drunk by normal people without adding some milk and sugar.

Fundamentally speaking, Daying had no choice but to drink black tea with milk and sugar, because they didn't understand the rules in the first place!

In addition, some news or deceptive introductions say that authentic British aristocratic afternoon tea requires an extremely gorgeous tea filter to filter the tea poured from the teapot when pouring the tea.

This thing is even more deceptive. Historically speaking, tea was just introduced to Britain. In ancient times, what kind of tea was exported from China?

Only the junk varieties will be exported!

Good varieties have been digested domestically, so how can they be sold for takeout? Even if some high-end goods can be released, the quantity is very small.

Therefore, at that time, most of the tea that came over was high-breaking tea bricks.

For tea of ​​this quality, you definitely need a tea drainer when drinking it, otherwise you will take a sip of the tea leaves.

Coupled with the maritime transportation environment at that time, some of the tea was already moldy after it had been floating on the sea for so long before being transported to Europe and then to Britain.

Such moldy high broken tea.

It must be filtered before being brewed, and then some milk must be added, otherwise the taste will be indescribable.

But it is this dark historical habit that some people regard as the British tea culture.

Allen used to watch talk shows on TV. Some people drank tea made with tea bags and filtered it through a tea strainer. Watching this made me want to laugh!

Common people in Britain drink tea with milk, which is a habit inherited from their ancestors, but a large part of the aristocracy really don't have this habit.

Because nobles always enjoy the best resources!

Since the 19th century, better transportation methods have gradually become popular, and good tea can now be transported in good condition.

Some nobles still maintain the habit of adding milk to tea. It is just a ritual, but many people don't add it!

In the royal family, whether it is Boss Cha or the Queen, milk is not always added to tea.

Adding milk to good black tea is a waste.

The noble Lord also understands this!

The noble master does not drink broken tea!

Allen picked up a beef tongue cake and stuffed it into Rhubarb's mouth.

It probably didn't even taste anything, and it was swallowed without even chewing.

Seeing this guy's useless look, Allen stretched out his foot and said, "Get out of here, there's nothing for you to eat."

Pick up the newspaper on the table. Don't look at it. It's already August. The World Cup ended last month, but the heat continues until now.

As for the larger Commonwealth Games, there has been very little coverage about it.

Looking at the familiar young man on the bench of the Brazilian team in the newspaper picture, he has big teeth and a small crew cut. Allen is very familiar with this player. This is Ronaldo. Oh no, this guy has almost no reputation now. He can be regarded as a young genius in Brazil, but he has almost no playing time in this World Cup. He can only sit on the bench behind his other big brothers in the Brazilian team.

Looking at these reports, Allen took a sip of tea and got some inspiration.

He has only been back for a few days, and the work report for leading the team has not yet been written. Just now, he was still having a headache about what to write. Now, isn't it done? !

Allen had no experience in leading a team, but he couldn't write in his work report that he just lazily set a goal every time, and the rest was just messing around, right?

Therefore, he had to find a new way to write something different.

For example, we can propose some restructuring suggestions for the Commonwealth Games and stagger the year they are held.

He's not good at talking about work experience, but Allen is good at pointing out things!

As reported in the newspapers, the World Cup is over and the excitement is still there, but what about the Commonwealth Games?

How can it be that there is no enthusiasm right after it was done?

This is not conducive to unity and goes against the original intention of establishing this event!

To put it more seriously, this is betraying Her Majesty the Queen's trust!

The leaders of the organizing committee are simply useless!

The more he thought about it, the more reliable he felt. Allen nodded. His identity was that of a retainer. To make a small report, complain, or say something bad like this is very consistent with his personality, and it is very feasible. He is Isn't this the purpose of investigating the spies sent by the boss to the sports meeting?

Thinking of this, Allen put down the tea cup and continued to rest without thinking. Taking advantage of the inspiration, he picked up the manuscript paper and started writing a work report.

Three days later, Parliament in London.

Early in the morning, Allen appeared in the lounge of the House of Lords with a glowing face.

Yesterday, he came to London to report to Boss Cha, and by the way, he handed in the work report on leading the team for the competition.

Come on, he hasn't appeared in the House of Lords for a long time. After a night's rest, Allen woke up very early today, which was very rare, and prepared to take a walk in the House of Lords.

The noisy lounge was as empty as ever. It looked like there were probably more than a hundred people attending the meeting today.

When an old man saw Allen coming in, he angrily pushed away the people who were talking to him and walked towards Allen.

"Alan!"

"?"

Allen heard someone calling him, turned around and saw that it was the Duke of Marlborough!

This guy's face turned red from holding back, and he walked this way aggressively. Allen subconsciously looked at him with a smile and nodded: "You old guy is also coming to the meeting today? It seems that your little wife didn't pester you last night. ."

"You bastard!"

The Duke of Marlborough looked at Allen angrily. Before he could get angry, this little brat dared to tease him in public? !

Pointing at Allen's nose, the Duke of Marlborough cursed loudly: "Does James live in your manor? Is it your turn for a bastard to interfere in our family's affairs? Who gave you the courage? Hmm!"

"???"

Allen's smiling expression froze when he heard the old stool's words.
