Brilliant Michelin Reborn

Chapter 62 The third element

In the evening, after ten o'clock, the guests left after dinner, and the employees packed up everything and went back to get off work.

Most of Starmissing's lights were turned off, and the store was a little dark. Jiang Shunan sat alone by the window, leaning his head against the glass window, looking at the scenery outside the window.

Owen said, what do you mean by the scenery during the day, it is beautiful at night.

This sentence is true.

The night will cover up some things, and correspondingly will bring out some things.

Looking around, everything on the ground can't be seen clearly, only dots and lines made of lights can be seen clearly.

The golden lines and light spots seem to be chaotic, but they actually have their own rules.

Flickering, turning and beating.

Whether it is intuitive or the reflection in the water, it is so quiet from a distance.

There is no dividing line between the river and the sea and the city, only the difference between bright and dark.

The sky tonight is not purely pitch black, but indissoluble blue and slightly drunken purple, and there is still a bit of bright white on the horizon.

Once, when he was still Xu Ran, he also took advantage of the night to go to the observation deck upstairs with Shi Lei.

At that time, apart from a little shock, I didn't feel how good the night scene was.

Perhaps, at that time, my mind was not on this night at all.

Jiang Shunan smiled, raised his head and sighed.

How silly that I would miss this beautiful scenery.

"gone."

"Oh, here we come."

When Wei Jingrong greeted him, Jiang Shunan hurriedly got up and left behind him.

Jiang Shunan got into the car, buckled up his seat belt carefully, and pulled down his tie a little.

"If you're tired, just sleep on it, and I'll call you when you get there."

"No need," Jiang Shunan said in good spirits, "I'm not tired, I just need to breathe."

Working in starmissing is indeed not as tiring as blue shore, in fact, it is quite enjoyable.

The environment is good, the atmosphere is good, the guests will not curse, and will not pour red wine on you for no reason.

If you respect him, he will respect you.

You are willing to serve him with all your heart, and he is not stingy with praise and tips.

It's a wonderful experience.

For the first time, Jiang Shunan felt that his job was not inferior to others, even if he was not a restaurant manager, even if he was a waiter, he would still feel this way.

"What are you laughing at?" Wei Jingrong asked, looking at the rearview mirror.

"Ah? Is there?" Jiang Shunan thought for a while, then smiled again, "I really like starmissing."

Wei Jingrong curled the corner of his mouth: "Just like it."

"Mr. Wei, how many years has starmissing been open?"

"Three years."

Wei Jingrong turned on the turn signal and turned left, "I didn't have the idea of ​​opening another store at the beginning, but it was Owen who suggested it to me."

"Oh, that's it." Jiang Shunan asked, "As soon as he said it, did you agree?"

"No, I hesitated for a long time."

Looking back on the past, Wei Jingrong's face became a bit serious: "At that time, Lan'an's business gradually improved, the debts were almost repaid, and the money was more abundant. I wanted to take the opportunity to rest for a while, and Owen found me at that time , put forward a proposal to open another store.”

"He really knows how to pick the right moment." Jiang Shunan couldn't help but vomit.

"Because of this matter, Qian Yunsheng and Owen had a very tense fight, and I'm not sure. With so much money invested at one time, and it's a foreign business model, I'm worried that I will lose everything."

Jiang Shunan asked: "Then how did you make up your mind?"

"Uncle Bai came out to mediate. He said that the three of us were arguing about this matter every day, and no one could convince the other, so we just went to the field to investigate. After that, we stayed in Paris for half a month..."

"Wait, half a month?!" Jiang Shunan opened his mouth so wide that he could eat people, "You stayed in Paris for half a month?!"

"What's your point here?"

"Oh, sorry, I digressed."

Jiang Shunan took a breath: "Have you been eating, drinking and having fun in Paris for half a month?!"

Wei Jingrong was too lazy to correct: "We traveled all over the local restaurants, cafes, taverns, and roadside stalls, and met many chefs, restaurant managers, suppliers, and food critics. What we saw and heard far exceeded My imagination. So, I decided to give it a try."

"Zi, it's only been half a month, is it a little hasty?" Jiang Shunan asked.

"It's more than half a month." Wei Jingrong said flatly, "After I made up my mind, I handed over all the business in the store to Uncle Bai and Qian Yunsheng. I spent half a year as an apprentice in Paris to learn cooking skills. Owen also introduced a lot of contacts for me by pointing out ideas for enriching the new store."

"Damn it! Who the hell is this Owen, did he open a cheat?"

"I only know that he grew up in Europe and only returned to China when he was in his teens. His father owns two wineries, both of which are family businesses. Thanks to him, there is no need to worry about the storage of wine in the two restaurants."

What is this called?

This is called being born with a golden spoon in your mouth!

"The conditions in his family are so good, why don't you go back?"

"He didn't tell, I didn't ask."

Yes, it's a private matter after all.

However, Owen really has two brushes.

Wei Jingrong's country is half of his, and he is really right.

"After returning to China, from site selection to decoration, it took almost half a year to start starmissing."

Oh my God!

Isn't this execution too strong?

"Boss Wei, I'm convinced."

"joke?"

"Really," Jiang Shunan sat up straight, "I'm really convinced, I'm convinced."

Wei Jingrong smiled and remained silent.

"Don't laugh, I'm serious."

"I know," Wei Jingrong still smiled, "Sit down and don't move around."

Jiang Shunan sat obediently.

Wei Jingrong laughed for a while, then suddenly sighed softly: "Thinking about it now, the friendship between me and Qian Yunsheng may have been cracked at that time. He didn't agree with the proposal of starmissing in the end."

"That's because he's blind."

"Can't say that either."

Wei Jingrong said frankly: "The business model of starmissing is indeed risky. The threshold is set high, and the level I must reach is even higher."

"No wonder you chose such a high place."

Wei Jingrong glanced at him, and Jiang Shunan immediately faltered: "Slip of mouth, slip of tongue."

"The threshold is high, which means that we will lose most of our customers, so our service targets will naturally become high-income and high-consumer groups. For them, money has become a number, and what they want is naturally different from others. .”

"Well, it's good. Why does it sound like I feel cold in my heart? It's a bit miserable."

"Did you feel that way when you were at work?"

"No, I quite like that atmosphere."

Wei Jingrong nodded: "That's fine. In the final analysis, the gap between people still exists. You have to be honest with yourself, just treat him as a job, and don't think too much about it."

"I didn't think much about it," Jiang Shunan waved his hand, but his face was like a bitter melon.

"Mr. Wei, do you have any ideas?"

"what do you mean?"

"that is……"

Jiang Shunan carefully arranged his words, for fear of saying something wrong, Wei Jingrong directly threw him into the river to feed the fish.

"Look, you don't raise money now, do you? Why do you keep running around like this every day? Uh, you can..."

"Can I sit and eat?"

"Uh, I think if there are ten more of you, this mountain won't be empty. Maybe, it will eat more and more."

"Hehehe."

Wei Jingrong laughed, the first to let out a laugh.

"Maybe, I can't be idle. As long as there are customers willing to come in and eat, I will provide them with the best food and service."

"Ha, come on now."

Jiang Shunan put his hands together, feeling angry: "Who went crazy yesterday and drove away the guests? 'Remember, this is not a place for you to be presumptuous, do you hear me clearly?', hey, who said that?"

Jiang Shun'an's eyes and voice are quite similar.

"That's the principle." Wei Jingrong said, "That's Lan'an's dignity, your dignity, and mine."

Jiang Shunan listened fascinated.

"A restaurant that doesn't serve food that customers like is not a good restaurant; but a restaurant that doesn't care about its employees isn't even a restaurant."

What the hell!

This Wei Jingrong...

So fucking handsome!

"Are you still thinking about what happened yesterday?"

"A little bit."

A day later, Jiang Shunan didn't really care about that matter, but he still had some shadows in his heart.

"Don't take it to heart, that star may not be taken away."

"Are you... comforting me?"

"I'm just telling a fact."

Wei Jingrong subconsciously didn't look at him: "One Michelin star is mainly considered for food, two stars will include wine and service in the evaluation category, and three stars will be a strict comprehensive evaluation, so you don't have to pay too much attention to it."

Jiang Shunan thought about it, but he didn't care about Wei Jingrong telling him not to take it to heart.

"In other words, Michelin's judging criteria are the three elements of food, wine and service, right?"

"Well, that's okay to understand."

Wei Jingrong paused for a while, as if hesitating for something, before speaking after a long time: "Are you...would you like to be the third element?"

"what?"

Wei Jingrong breathed out his nose, and he heard very heavily: "The three elements of Michelin, food is me, wine is Owen, do you want to be the last one?"

"I……"

Jiang Shunan got stuck on a character 'I' and there was no sound after that.

too suddenly.

When Wei Jingrong said that, Jiang Shunan felt overwhelmed by a heavy burden.

It turns out that you might be able to grit your teeth and try.

Now, I just feel a little powerless.

He is still afraid, afraid that he will make a mistake, afraid that he will not meet Wei Jingrong's requirements.

Afraid that he would ruin everything for him.

For the rest of the journey, neither of them spoke, and the relaxed atmosphere instantly became oppressive.

The street lamps drew circles one after another on the street, and the faces of the two of them brightened and darkened like this, heavy and somewhat suffocating.

"arrive."

"Oh."

Jiang Shunan replied in a daze, unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car.

Wei Jingrong rolled down the car window and looked at Jiang Shunan's back fluttering under his feet, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Is it too hasty?

When I brought it up, I really thought that Jiang Shunan might have such a reaction, so I hesitated.

But he hesitated until the end, and he didn't know how to say it.

Bad timing, bad location, very bad pressure.

Jiang Shunan, probably won't agree, right?

Wei Jingrong suddenly felt a little lost.

Forget it, there is no need to be strong.

Wei Jingrong started the car, rolled up the window, and looked out the window...

Jiang Shunan is back!

"Well, Mr. Wei, can you come down for a while? I have a few words... I want to say."

Without a moment's hesitation, Wei Jingrong got off the car and stood in front of Jiang Shunan.

"Mr. Wei, thank you for trusting me so much. But I, I really feel that I am not capable enough. Compared with you, I feel like a scum, soot, a fool who can't afford to spend all the gold leaf."

"Not really."

"Uh... it's just an exaggeration, I'm just making an analogy."

"..."

Jiang Shunan went on to say: "In short, I am very grateful and hope to help you. Can you... take it easy on what you just said?"

"How long?"

"Well," Jiang Shunan frowned, pinching his fingers to calculate, but the more he calculated, the more confused he became, "Oh, it won't be long, anyway... half a year, just half a year."

"it is good."

"What did you say?"

Jiang Shunan couldn't believe his ears.

"You want half a year, I'll give you half a year."

"Really?"

"kindness."

"Thank you, thank you, I won't let you down."

Jiang Shunan laughed, and after a while, his face sank again: "Well, Mr. Wei, can I ask you one more thing?"

"Say."

"That, that,"

Jiang Shunan scratched his head and neck, as if he had been bitten by a bug, feeling uncomfortable.

"That's it, me, can I give you a hug?"
