Sesame Green Bean Garlic

Huo Zian made this decision after careful consideration.

For most of the day, Huo Zian was thinking about Aunt Kong's attitude and their situation.He originally thought that he could slowly impress Aunt Kong, but seeing the look in Aunt Kong's eyes today, he knew it was just his own delusion.He had seen Aunt Kong's attitude towards Qin Ai. Aunt Kong didn't like Qin Ai. She humiliated and drove her away unreservedly, with a tough posture.But Aunt Kong didn't disapprove of Zi'an, nor did she dislike Zi'an. What she showed was her fear of their relationship.

Therefore, no matter how dedicated Huo Zian was to her, it would be useless.What he wants to conquer is not Aunt Kong's feelings, but the most basic family ethics of the elderly and even the whole environment.How is this possible?

It's not that he doesn't understand this common sense, maybe he just wants to escape subconsciously.

This matter cannot be delayed any longer.Seeing Yu Liangchen dating a young girl, he felt a deep sense of crisis.You Liangchen has so many choices, why does he have to walk such a bumpy road with himself?

Love has boundaries, and courage also has a deadline. He was really afraid that by the time he was ready, Yu Liangchen's patience would have been exhausted.

The two of them discussed it and confessed to their family members after the Spring Festival.

The restaurant is currently in good condition, and Huo Zian is planning to build a larger wine cellar to expand the wine storage.Therefore, he and You Liangchen were so busy that they went out early and returned late every day, not to mention talking to Aunt Kong, they hardly even saw each other.

At the same time, a French catering magazine "Culinaire" made an exclusive interview with Huo Zian, hailed him as a new generation of Asian chefs, and praised him for his natural combination of French cuisine and Beijing life, allowing the two distinct cultures to overlap. Together, it provides a new perspective for world catering.Because Huo Zian cooks French food and has been recognized by the French media, many people think that this is the weather vane of Michelin.Some brands moved upon hearing the news, looking for an opportunity to contact Huo Zian, hoping to do product promotion and cooperation.

One day, Lin Yue, who failed in a blind date, approached him and tried her best to persuade him to join the website's dinner auction.Huo Zian refused as soon as he heard it: "The seats here are first-come, first-served. Everyone will eat the same thing after paying. I don't want to have a special table."

Lin Yue said: "You don't need to do something special, Chef, your restaurant is so popular, it's very difficult to make reservations, you can reserve three tables for me, rare things are more expensive, I promise to grab your head as soon as you go online, there is no need for you to do anything , Just collect the money."

"Sister, I thank you, this is breaking the rules."

"Hey, you're not so rigid, are you? It's just a business game, and it won't affect your reputation. I know you're very busy, why don't I discuss it with You Liangchen?"

Huo Zian immediately said: "No!"

Lin Yue smiled: "If you don't look for it, don't look for it. Hey, although being gay is not a big deal, haven't you two come out of the closet yet? For the sake of keeping your sexual orientation secret, just promise me, okay?"

Huo Zian lamented: "Where is Jiang Zi threatening people?"

Lin Yue kept teasing her, but in the end Huo Zian softened her heart and agreed to give her a table.

Such requests for human favors are too numerous to enumerate.

The most difficult thing for Huo Zian to deal with was his father.

His father was different from others. Others made unilateral requests, but his father negotiated with him with bargaining chips.As they ate lunch together, my father asked, "Your restaurant has recently expanded its wine cellar. Is it a turnaround?"

"is acceptable."

My father said lovingly: "Don't be brave in front of me. The restaurant is running very well, I know, but in the past few months you have rented a house, renovated, purchased goods, and recruited people, all of which are real expenses. The first year and a half Zai, it must not be a good time."

What my father said was the truth. In the past three or four months, he spent tens of millions, most of which were borrowed from his father.Now it is necessary to build a wine cellar—this is a last resort. The amount of wine stored is a rigid indicator for a high-end restaurant. At present, he is managed by Liang Chen for him, and sales are rising steadily. Not expanding the wine cellar is simply against the business logic.

The plan would cost another million.

Huo Zian: "Don't worry, I can turn around."

"Hey, can I not worry, I also invested a lot in the restaurant."

Huo Zian's fork was raised in the air and froze.The father smiled again: "Zian, I believe in your ability, but I have survived this kind of period several times. I know how much psychological pressure is. The money you borrowed from the group is repaid in installments every month. Not too small, how much do you have left after paying off yourself?"

There is not much left.But Huo Zian still said: "Don't worry, the restaurant has always made money, and I will pay back the money according to the contract."

Qin Youde let out an "ah" and said with a smile, "Son, why are you working so hard? You don't have to pay back the money."

Huo Zi An Xin jumped violently, "What do you mean?"

"Your debt can be offset by shares."

Huo Zian shook his head immediately: "Dad, I don't want to sell the restaurant's shares right now."

"It's not about the shares of the restaurant, I mean, I can give you the shares of Youdelou."

Huo Zian was at a loss. Doesn't that mean that he didn't pay for the meal, and even dug away the fountain at the door? !

Qin Youde explained: "You bring your restaurant into the group, and the restaurant is your share. You don't have to pay back those debts. The restaurant belongs to the group, but you are a shareholder of the group, so the restaurant is still yours after all."

Although Huo Zian doesn't understand finances, his IQ is still good enough. Hearing this, he seems to be taking advantage of it, but he has secretly changed a few concepts - in other words, his father just wants to buy the restaurant, and then use some shares to appease him chant.The restaurant has really entered the group, where can he still control it independently?

Seeing his hesitation, Qin Youde persuaded him, "You don't have to worry about someone taking over your restaurant. We can sign a contract for 20, [-] or more years. Although the restaurant belongs to the group, you have to manage and operate the restaurant." Absolute right, no one, including me, will interfere with your decision-making. Of course, we are also responsible to other shareholders, and they may raise opinions when the restaurant loses money, but I believe that the restaurant will not lose money, and to appease them I There are a hundred ways. Zian, think about it, with the support of the group behind you, how far can the restaurant go? Let alone a wine cellar, you can buy a winery in France without any problem!"

Huo Zian was silent for a while, and then asked his father about his doubts: "Why do you want my small restaurant? Every restaurant in this hotel is larger than mine. If it is well managed, it will definitely be more profitable. .”

Qin Youde and Huo Zian got along for a long time, and the relationship became closer, so he no longer kept secrets from him.He confessed: "What I want is not your restaurant, but you! Without you, there would be no restaurant of yours. Let me ask you, can the western restaurant of our hotel get three Michelin stars?"

Huo Zi thought to himself, of course not.This restaurant was "planned", relying on guest chefs, theme dinners close to the world's catering trends, and a rich wine collection to maintain its current popularity. The hotel's own kitchen is really lackluster, and Huo Zian is just a consultant, so naturally I have no obligation and no time to help it polish the team.He said honestly: "In the current situation, it is lucky to get one star."

"That's right!" Qin Youde said slightly, "What I want is not a restaurant that makes money. In the future, Youde Building will open in Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai, and Times Square in New York! I want a restaurant that I can afford." Dining room."

Huo Zian didn't expect his father's ambition to be so big, so he thought for a while and said, "If you want a good restaurant, it's not difficult to do it. I won't be the only Michelin restaurant. If you can provide good conditions, there must be many chefs willing Cooperate with you. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can also cultivate a Michelin three-star by yourself."

Qin Youde seemed to have heard something extremely absurd, and said with a smile: "I have a capable son, why should I hand it over to outsiders?!"

Huo Zian was speechless.Qin Youde continued: "Zian, you know how many younger brothers and sisters you have are studying. They are still young. When they can take care of my business, they don't know that the year of the monkey will be over. Don't dare to say anything else. In the future, hotel catering I want to hand over the part to you slowly; you know that catering is the blood vessel of the hotel, and the blood vessel is in your hands, and the rest depends on where you want to go.”

Huo Zian secretly took a deep breath, and quickly said: "Dad, I..."

Qin Youde didn't let him continue, he spread his hands and said, "I'm going to give these to you, but first, you have to give yourself to me, okay?"

His father's expression was serious and sincere, looking at his posture, it seemed that he was about to hug him into his arms.It's a pity that Huo Zian is no longer a child who needs his father's arms.

Weighing the pros and cons, he felt that he could not accept his father's "gift".He thought for a while, then evaded: "I'll discuss it with You Liangchen first, he is also the owner of the restaurant, and I can only make a decision with his approval."

"Is he also the owner of the restaurant?" Qin Youde was surprised.He checked the background of the restaurant and knew that Huo Zian had always been the only legal person.

Seeing his father's reaction, Huo Zian guessed that his father must have asked someone to investigate the restaurant, and his heart was chilled.He lied and said: "When the restaurant first opened, I borrowed money from You Liangchen and promised to give him the shares of the restaurant. We haven't signed the contract yet, and we will finish the formalities after the Spring Festival."

Unexpectedly, Qin Youde reacted violently to this matter: "Haven't signed a contract yet? Then it can be remedied. The money can be paid back immediately, but the shares cannot be given to him!"

Huo Zian was not used to his father's domineering tone, so he stopped talking now.

After thinking about it, Qin Youde softened his tone: "I don't care how good the relationship between you two is. But Zi'an, relationships and careers have to be separated. If there is one more person in charge of the restaurant, it will be more troublesome. Think about it carefully?" Qin Youde had dealt with Aunt Kong, leaving a bad impression of "this family is difficult to deal with", and Lin Feng often reprimanded You Liangchen's bad deeds in his ears, coupled with his conventional aversion to homosexuality, to You Liangchen really didn't like it.

However, Huo Zian thought, his father's standards are too vague. He persuaded him to hand over the restaurant to the group before, but now he said that there are too many troublesome people. In the final analysis, it is only right to hand over the restaurant to Youdelou!

He didn't want to directly argue with his father, so he said perfunctorily, "I'll think about it. Dad, I'm too busy with things now, and Michelin is going to evaluate the stars immediately. Let's talk about it after the Spring Festival."

Huo Zian has consistently adopted a policy of delay, but he did not expect that his indecision would become the fuse of the split in the future.
