Cooking
Chapter 17
I have learned some, but I am not proficient. Do you think it is necessary for Xiao Li to learn?As for the dishes he proposed, they are not difficult and the cost is low. They performed very well when they hosted Taiwanese businessmen two days ago and were well received. "
Bu Wei smiled lightly, "You were there that day, why don't you cook some authentic Bu family vegetarian dishes?"
He Zhishan said sternly, "Lonnie told Xiao Li to be the chef of vegetarian dishes. He really did a good job. I helped him prepare a dish of mushrooms using the Bu family's secret recipe. It can be regarded as a Bu family dish."
"Zhishan," Lu Yong said slowly, "You have been with me for more than ten years. Although Bujiacai has always attached importance to learning and communication, making improvements and innovations to the dishes, and maintaining a state of constant updating, but with Xiaoli Wouldn’t it be too low if the vegetarian dishes in the restaurant were used as a starting point?”
Bu Wei glanced at the old man in surprise. Such arrogant words did not seem to come from Lu Yong's mouth. Chef, your duty is not only to inherit Bu’s cuisine, but also to make plans for its development. We are now attaching great importance to the development of vegetarian banquets. It is not a temporary emergency, nor is it a random temptation. Start from a high starting point and see a little further."
He Zhishan listened intently, nodded slightly, and Lu Yong continued, "All the better restaurants are selling shark fin and bird's nest, some for tens of dollars a bowl, and some for hundreds of dollars a bowl, and those selling twice-cooked pork and fish-flavored eggplant. There are small restaurants all over the street. Why are some shops overcrowded and others empty? In the catering industry, after all, it depends on the chef's skills, and relying on the help of others can only prosper for a while. Only real delicious food can last forever. Do you think Xiaoli's Vegetarian dishes can be classic
? ”
He Zhishan raised his eyebrows, "Master, I think you should try Xiaoli's dishes yourself. You haven't eaten his creations for a long, long time."
Lu Yong said bluntly, "Indeed, after he and An Dongbi tried it last time, I really haven't tasted his dishes, especially the pure vegetarian dishes."
If Li Xiangrong was present, he would probably want to remind Lu Yong and Bu Wei that a few months ago when he strongly asked to be the master of "Dinghu Shangsu" at the feast, he returned to Manshuyuan and devoted himself to practicing for a period of time. Under the circumstances, they have already made a real evaluation of their vegetarian dishes, but after so long, they are still not sure of their progress.
He Zhishan said, "Xiao Li has made great progress. His knife skills are excellent, and he is good at making ordinary ingredients unique and beautiful. He writes that the profit margins of these dishes are quite good. Let's carefully match them to make a whole table. It must be pretty."
Bu Wei shook his hand and said, "Zhi Shan, let's first consider whether the dishes are good enough, and then consider the cost price. The Bu family made the swallow's wings top-notch, so naturally it is impossible to lower the price. Now, should we make the plain seats elegant and expensive, or simple?" Affordable? There are several reasons for people to be vegetarian: religious influence, health reasons, psychological preferences, and environmental protection. In China, the majority of vegetarians are probably the first two. For different groups of people, the selection of vegetarian dishes is also different. Believers in Buddhism Some people don’t even eat onions, garlic and leeks; people with physical reasons may have taboos on radishes and tofu; are there people who don’t eat eggs or drink milk? Alternative menus, people who are willing to eat vegetarian outside are definitely not poor people, we have to make vegetarian seats that are expensive enough.”
He Zhishan quickly took notes, and hesitated after finishing writing, "I'm still wondering if the business at the end of the year is still so deserted, should we do some promotional discounts? Our prices are too high, and it is too difficult for ordinary people to consume. gone."
Bu Wei said calmly, "Because our prices have always been high, we have to continue to keep them so high. Now even if we are trying to be brave, we can't do things that will lower our own value."
He waved his hand, indicating that the conversation is over, He Zhishan pursed his lips and left his office with a notebook, Bu Wei and Lu Yong looked at each other with wry smiles.
"Maybe I'm old," Bu Wei worried, "but Lonnie isn't old enough."
"It's not a matter of old and young," Lu Yong sighed, "Since we have decided to fade out slowly, we should give them full trust and do what we should do now."
Li Xiangrong lay on the bed and flipped through a book on crisis management. The book was bought by Buroni at the school's second-hand bookstall. The pages were still new, and the pages were full of words such as "idea", "risk", and "awareness". This student who failed the college entrance examination was at a loss.
The Xinhua dictionary next to the pillow can only look up new words, but some conceptual questions are not clear. Li Xiangrong copied the passages that he did not understand in a small notebook. Baidu on the computer.
It's not that he is eager to learn, but that the dictator Buroni involuntarily assigned him homework. Modern talents must understand both technology and the market. In short, he resumed handwritten homework after two years of leaving school.
Although there is nothing wrong with learning more things, but compared to cooking, I really don’t like to study management. Li Xiangrong yawned, and the black letters on the paper were like a group of small flying insects flying around in front of his eyes. He wiped his eyes, Look at the alarm clock, whether to follow the body and mind and fall asleep, or insist on reading this chapter, it is a painful choice.
Just as he was drooling on the opened pages, his cell phone rang suddenly, and Li Xiangrong trembled all over his body. When he pressed the call button, Buroni's voice immediately came clearly: "Are you asleep?"
It's past 11 o'clock, it's time to go to bed... Li Xiangrong nodded silently, and tried to answer in a bright tone, "Not yet, I'm reading a book."
"Oh..." Buroni paused, "If you're not in a hurry to sleep, I'll go find you."
"Eh? Is there something urgent?" Li Xiangrong rolled over. There was no heating in the small room, and the cup opened a crack to let in the cold air.
"It's urgent, but it's not. I feel uncomfortable..." Buroni hesitated a little, "I heard some rumors, and I want to discuss it with you. If you want to sleep, or tomorrow..."
When Buroni said the word "tomorrow", he made no secret of his reluctance. Li Xiangrong thought that you are so sad, what else can I say? Seeing this attitude, the little boss might have a long talk all night. I have to bear it.
"Then you bring something to eat." Li Xiangrong dragged over a heavy sweater and trousers and put them on. "It's a bit cold here, you should wear thicker." He jumped out of bed, turned on the electric heater, and the bright red electric stove wires warmed the air. Warmed the night air.
There was a knock on the door, and Buroni was wrapped in a woolen coat, with a big bag in his hand.
"My mother made egg yolk crisps and coconut bread, and I bought stewed beef outside, and I brought beer." After all, the late-night visit was abrupt, and Buroni took out a large amount of food and put it away, sitting in the Toast your hands in front of the electric heater.
Li Xiangrong muttered, "It's too cold to drink beer now, let's drink boiled water." He poured two glasses of white water, opened a piece of bread and started to eat. "What is there that can't wait until tomorrow?"
Buroni held the water glass and looked at him deeply. The fine white coconut stood on his rosy face, which seemed to be emitting a sweet aroma. He gritted his teeth and said calmly, "You mentioned that Mr. Xu also found passed you, right?"
"Well, ask me to meet and give me a sum of money to leave Bu's house. I didn't agree, what's wrong?" Li Xiangrong finished eating the bread in twos, clapped his hands and said, "He's looking for you again?"
Buroni lowered his head, under the dim yellow desk lamp, his hair gave off a dark blue halo, and the sound of his subtle breathing was amplified in the silence. It took him a long time to raise his head. , the emerald green pupils that looked as cold as the calm deep sea were covered with sparkling water, swaying on the long and distinct eyelashes.
"You...what's the matter?" Li Xiangrong squatted down and looked up at him. Buroni's face was fair, but at the moment it was so pale that there was no trace of blood.
"Tao Xingming and Anton, we have to go." Brony said softly.
"Go?" Li Xiangrong opened his mouth wide in surprise, "They
Want to talk to Mr. Xu? "
The author has something to say: the weather is so cold...

Tao Xingming and Anton's leaving Bu's house at this time made people uncomfortable, especially Bu Langni, who must have believed that these two were traitors.
Li Xiangrong was silent for a while. A lot of money and the opportunity to start a business are actually very attractive to ordinary people. In this flashy money-worshiping society, who would be indifferent to wealth and opportunities?
Loyalty is a kind of morality that is gradually forgotten, and friendship is a joke that cannot be easily attacked by a single blow. What does Bujia, who is declining day by day, retain talents, and is his personality attractive?Funny.
Li Xiangrong opened the bag of stewed beef carefully, took out his kitchen knife to wash it, and slowly cut it one by one. The dark red meat was almost motionless, only the shadow of the knife passed by. With his movements, the plastic bags were spread flat on the table without making a sound.
Wipe the kitchen knife clean, press it lightly with your fingers, and the piece of meat fell down slowly, like the pages of a new book being rubbed open. Arong picked up a piece of beef.
Buroni smiled, "The knife skills are really good."
Arong handed the beef to Buroni. Buroni sipped his lips and held the piece of meat in his mouth, biting it into his mouth with his teeth and chewing carefully.
"You can eat it too," Buroni said vaguely. The stewed beef is a little salty, and the aftertaste has some kind of bitterness from medicinal herbs. "I heard that this restaurant is delicious, but I don't think it's very good."
Li Xiangrong sniffed his fingers, took out a tissue to wipe his hands, shook his head and said, "I don't want to eat this."
His eyes were watery, and he turned his head and sniffed.
Buroni felt annoyed, thinking that he had brought back Arong's nostalgia for his father, and felt that the beef in his mouth was tasteless, so he took out a can of beer, opened it, and took several gulps.
"Aren't you cold?" Li Xiangrong mumbled as he poured boiled water for him, and white smoke rose up, blurring his vision.
Buroni tilted his head to look at him, spread his arms very slowly, lowered his voice and said softly, "It's cold," pressing his right hand to his heart, Buroni smiled bitterly, " Really cold."
Li Xiangrong, who had been standing all the time, bent his head and looked down at him, feeling unreal, the always arrogant Buroni was almost fragile at the moment, he didn't like to see Buroni like this.
It turns out that leaving can make Lonnie so pitiful and ugly, Li Xiangrong thought calmly.
The corners of Buroni's raised eyes were a little red, which made Li Xiangrong inexplicably anxious. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Buroni's shoulders and lifted him up, lifting him from the chair. Buroni staggered and stood still, surprised stared at him.
Li Xiangrong forced himself to laugh, but his eyes were hot and his voice was hoarse due to his irritability, so he gave Bronney a rough push, "It's too late, go back to sleep! I'm sleepy!"
Buroni let out an ah as if he hadn't realized it yet, and Li Xiangrong said loudly, "Don't worry, I won't leave here! Can you go back to sleep?"
"I, I didn't mean that!" Buroni reached out to grab him, it wasn't like this, running to this narrow room in the cold winter night to find Li Xiangrong was not to test and confirm, he just felt sad and had no place to express it , just want to be with friends
Stay together and absorb some warmth, "Arong, don't think so..."
"Then what should I think?" Li Xiangrong took a few deep breaths, closed his eyes, and said coldly, "Okay, you should have confidence in me, what I have to do now is more important than getting a sum of money, so I won't go."
"Then what is most important to you?" Buroni couldn't help asking.
"Do what you should do and work harder." Li Xiangrong relaxed the corners of his lips a little bit, and the flames hovering in his heart slowly weakened in the other's warm eyes, "Bu Langni, you take me to Bu's house, give me I think there is a sky beyond the sky, is the sky going to collapse now? Unless you take the initiative to drive me away, I..."
Buroni laughed silently, and the real smile spread in his emerald green eyes, like the surface of a lake wrinkled by the breeze, "The sky won't collapse, you will help me up, right?" He The corners of his lips grinned, revealing his white front teeth, "Actually, I can figure it out if they want to leave, but if you want to leave, you have to come up with a reason that can convince me."
I know that you don't value money, and you don't have any ambitions. The reason why money and ambition are less attractive to you is because you don't have the concept of this aspect at all.Buroni added in his heart, Li Xiangrong is honest, simple, dull, and even naive, how can such a person be bought directly with money?
He thought he had never understood Li Xiangrong as well as he did at this moment. In this silly boy's heart, don't talk about money, it's too vulgar and hurts feelings.
Let's not talk about money, let's talk about feelings, Buroni finally smiled comfortably.
Tao Xingming and Anton disappeared into the kitchen of Bu's house without a sound, only He Zhishan and Li Xiangrong were busy in the huge space.
Due to the difficulties in manpower and material resources, the Bu family suspended the order of the swallow-wing banquet. Thanks to some old customers who came to hold the vegetarian banquet, they can barely maintain one table a day. The cost of vegetarian dishes is relatively low, and the price of the dishes has been adjusted accordingly .
Li Xiangrong was dexterously carving radish flowers, and He Zhishan cooked a broth with yellow sprouts to taste the mushrooms. The usually lively kitchen was silent, but he felt the other party's presence more clearly. Li Xiangrong gritted his teeth and had nothing to say. , "Brother He, are you ready for the New Year's Day finals?"
"En," He Zhishan responded casually while pouring the soup pot.
"Then, are you going alone?" Li Xiangrong asked tangledly, "Oh, sister Bai, are you going to give birth soon?"
"The due date is at the beginning of January, but I have only been back and forth for three or four days, and the family has hired someone to take care of it." When talking about his wife, He Zhishan's voice was a little softer, "I should come back in time to see the birth of the child."
Li Xiangrong said "That's great", and silence fell again.
After a while, He Zhishan said in a low voice, "If you participate in the finals with assistants, you need to reduce the scoring coefficient. For the Mid-Autumn Festival, thank you very much."
Li Xiangrong quickly shook his head and said, "You're too polite, Brother He, the past is over, you have to work hard for the final!"
He Zhishan nodded, "I can't speak, Xiao Li, if I have gone too far, please don't take it to heart."
Huh?If Chef He would say such words, Li Xiangrong put down the tool in his hand, touched his forehead with the back of his hand, and mouth
Li said nonsense, no, no, no.
"Yifan is on vacation, and it's just the two of us now. Seriously, I didn't expect you to stay," He Zhishan said calmly, "I'm not surprised that Anton wants to leave. He's ambitious and impatient. Show him that it shouldn't be like this."
"Brother Tao, you are a very nice person. Anyway, this is an opportunity. I can do something by myself..." Li Xiangrong said, "Everyone has their own ambitions, and it's not easy."
"I didn't expect you to be so open-minded." He Zhishan looked at him deeply, "You have surprised me again. I thought you would despise them. After all, you are more noble."
"Noble, that's an exaggeration." Li Xiangrong arranged the radish flowers carefully, "Buroni brought me here, and sent me to research. He has been helping me, I have to remember."
He Zhishan sneered, "He has successfully trained you. He treats you well, so you treat him well?"
"Isn't this a matter of course?"
"Is what he arranged for you the best you want?"
"It's better than I imagined."
He Zhishan raised a hand to signal the end of the conversation, and the two put the prepared dishes on the dining car.
On the Liu platform, Buroni poured wine respectfully for Zhong Cheng with a jug, and put the dishes on the table one by one, such as broccoli tofu like jadeite, stewed magnolia slices with mushrooms in black and white, sweet osmanthus fresh chestnut soup The tangy, clear soup of bamboo fungus is delicious and smooth. Zhong Cheng praised, "This is the cheapest meal I have eaten at Bu's."
Buroni laughed, "Eating more vegetarian dishes is healthy and affordable."
Zhong Cheng said, "We should do more publicity, let me record a program for you." He paused, "The Bu family usually doesn't like to show their faces, I see you have also advertised on the traffic radio recently. "
"I can't help it. The smell of wine is also afraid that the alley is deep, and the competition is too fierce." Buroni spread his hands, "Thank you, Uncle Zhong, I just wanted to ask you for mercy on this matter."
"It's easy to say," Zhong Cheng laughed, and drank up the flower carvings in the small cup, "A few days ago, someone in the station told me that there is a vegetarian restaurant called 'Suke' that tastes very good, and asked me to consider doing a phase. , I haven’t eaten there yet, do you know this restaurant?”
Buroni shook his head, "I've only been to Manshuyuan, a vegetarian restaurant."
"Speaking of Manshuyuan, it's also a vegetarian dish. Why don't I make a special feature on vegetarian dishes?" Zhong Cheng clapped his hands, "In fact, the vegetarian dishes are quite good. To be honest, anyone who has seen the breeding farm and slaughterhouse with his own eyes will probably eat them for the rest of his life. No more meat."
"It's not such an exaggeration," Buroni thought to himself, who would go to see such a place if he had nothing to do.
"I was in Southeast Asia in September." Zhong Cheng picked up a broccoli and put it on the plate. "Go out to sea with the boat and watch them kill sharks... I feel that I have eaten so many shark fins. It is really a sin."
"But many people also know that sharks are very pitiful, and they don't just eat them all the time," Buroni said disapprovingly. "If you want to talk about cruelty, there are people who eat monkey brains raw, people who skin donkeys alive, and people who eat raw rats." Raw fish, roasted live ducks, freshly roasted live turtles...there are too many, isn't there a rumor that they eat babies?"
"In the name of gourmet food, the reality of perversion, with the desire of appetite, full of cruelty, such a person
Food culture, in the final analysis, is an evil culture," Zhong Chengyu said earnestly, "I have always liked Bujia, the dishes here are quiet and peaceful, and you can appreciate the beauty of grace and generosity. Now, it seems that vegetarian dishes can better reflect compassion Kindness. "
Bronney said calmly, "Thank you, Uncle Zhong, for your support."
"The middle school students' textbooks say 'production determines consumption'. What kind of dishes you make can guide diners to eat them. You have to tell people that radishes are healthier than abalones." Zhong Cheng smiled and wrinkled his eyes. "Lonnie, you are more focused than your father, come on."
Buroni nodded cautiously, thinking of the night that he looked down from the second floor of the bar one night.
The author has something to say: Happy New Year!In the new year, everyone, cheers! ! !
It is very important to eat well and sleep well. Although you are still young, please pay attention to health preservation!

The program recorded by Zhong Cheng was soon broadcast. From the introduction of the Vegetarian Cuisine of Manshuyuan, to the elegant and exquisite Bujia vegetarian banquet and the simple and affordable Suke side dishes, the exquisite pictures and smooth explanations gave the audience a very good sensory enjoyment , and then all three companies received more calls to order meals, ushering in a small □ in the winter catering industry.
Li Xiangrong was a little puzzled and asked Bu Langni why such an extravagant feast during the Mid-Autumn Festival was not as effective as this time. Bu Lang Ni analyzed that the first reason was that the main customers of Bu's family were official entertainment at that time, and the officials didn't want it. The Bu family is well-known, especially sought after by the general public. Second, the Yan Chi is too extravagant, and of course it is not as friendly to the common people as Su Cai. Besides, now that the Bu family is in crisis, the support of fame is even more important.
When the business came, He Zhishan and Li Xiangrong were very busy. Buroni wanted to recruit more people. He Zhishan stopped him and said that it was not a good time, and it was more important to maintain a high-quality order. If only two banquets were served in one night Being busy, the vegetarian banquet at Bujia is actually not cheaper than the luxury banquet at ordinary restaurants, and many people gave up the plan of ordering food as soon as they asked about the price.
"Let's wait until I come back from the finals to decide whether to recruit people," He Zhishan said, patting Bu Langni on the shoulder.
"If you win..." Buroni stopped talking. If he won the first place in the country, he would have a large bonus, better job opportunities and entrepreneurial opportunities. If He Zhishan has enough strength, then he will also Are you going back to Bu's house?
Buroni went to ask Master Lu for his opinion, and Lu Yong said seriously that it is easy to recruit and difficult to keep, and it is even more difficult to find the right one. Even chefs who have devoted themselves to training for several years will leave under the temptation of money Now, what if we can recruit apprentices of average level, can we guarantee that they will work faithfully?
Lu Yong has aged a lot in the past few months, especially the departure of Tao Xingming and Anton has dealt a great blow to him. The apprentice he personally selected behaved like this, but a junior who has been excluded can stick to it, which makes him With a lot of emotion, he sighed secretly.
Most of December passed quickly, and with the growing atmosphere of Christmas and New Year, restaurants and restaurants ushered in the busiest and prosperous time of the year. From Christmas to Chinese New Year for more than a month, all Chinese When people are keen on banquets, all kinds of promotional advertisements are stimulating people's nerves, adding fuel to the already turbulent consumption desire.
However, the practice of the Bu family is to have a holiday from 12.22 to 1.6, a total of [-] days. The whole family will go back to France to visit relatives for the festival. In the past, the business of the Bu family was prosperous, and they didn’t care about the half-month rest, but this year’s situation gave way Wei is very confused.
He can't close the business as gracefully and calmly as in previous years, and he can't go abroad with high spirits, but the meaning of Christmas is very special to Fanny, and he can't let his wife go back to her mother's house by herself.The family discussed for a long time, and decided to go back for Christmas. Fanny can stay with Ronning for a longer period of time, and Bu Ronnie stays at home.
Li Xiangrong called Liu Yunxian and wished him good grades. Liu Yunxian said proudly that you just wait for me to shine, and he has devoted himself to practicing for a few months, and he has already improved to a higher level.
December 12st is the last day of the year, so there is also a strong festive atmosphere. Countless banquets will be held when night falls. In a country where rules are prevalent, banquets are given more missions, and appetite has always been the yearning that Chinese people are least condemned but admired.
Bu Wei came back in a hurry to host the last banquet of the year with his son. He Zhishan had already left for the capital in the morning. Tonight's chef was Li Xiangrong, Feng Yifan was his assistant, and Lu Yong was in charge of off-site guidance. Say nothing and don't want to do it yourself.
Zheng Hao was the host, and invited more than a dozen close friends to the banquet. The Qifeng Residence, which the Bu family hadn't used for a long time, was tidied up and looked brand new.
On the occasion of the New Year, leaving his company's reception to his old father and younger sister, Zheng Hao smiled and behaved to everyone, asking everyone to drink a few more glasses of wine for his disloyalty and filial piety.
Xingzi's uncle and aunt were also present, and said with a smile, Young Master Zheng, why do we feel like you are going to start your own business?
Zheng Hao held his wine glass and said, that's not what he said, but he did have some other ideas. There must be a new look in the new year, and everyone should work hard.
And humane, Zheng Shao invited us to the famous Bu's house to have a vegetarian feast, it is very meaningful, is it telling us to walk out of a new path based on tradition?Or should it be high-profile, simple, low-key and extravagant?
After Zheng Hao laughed, he said seriously, "I just want you to eat really good things."
Bu Wei saw that most of the guests were young people, and the Taiwanese guests were already elders, so he gave Bu Langni a low-pitched order and left first. Everyone talked about the financial crisis, currency policy, world situation and other topics, and Bu Lang Ni cheered up to socialize seamlessly.
Someone said, "The current economic situation is really a bit deformed. I think that except for people who have to eat and socialize, other consumption will shrink due to price increases. The catering industry is better."
Others said, "Yes, yes, it's all profiteers who have inflated housing prices, and ordinary people can't live in peace. How can they have money and spend so much?"
Zheng Hao squinted at that person, and said with a smile, "Don't look at me, I'm already going to fade out of that area, and I'm ready to start anew."
"Didn't you also take over a large piece of land on the outskirts of the city?"
"I'm here to expand the zoo, not to build a real estate."
"Does the zoo make money?" the man asked with great interest.
Zheng Hao took a sip of tea, "I want to do something I really like. It would be better if I can earn more money, but the most profitable business of the Zheng family is still in my father's hands, I don't care about that."
"Actually, the catering industry is not easy to do," Buroni interjected, "The financial crisis has also had a great impact on us, and there are far fewer business banquets."
Zheng Hao smiled, "That depends on how you analyze and adjust your market positioning. I have employees who are proficient in strategic planning. Would you like to make a copy for you?"
Buroni was startled, he looked into Zheng Hao's calm eyes, and there were two voices shouting in his heart, [Is he sending charcoal in the snow, or is he taking advantage of the fire? 】
Clinking cups of wine, chatting and laughing happily, it was a harmonious scene, Buroni forced a smile and said, "Okay, please take care of me, senior."
Comparing Zheng Hao and Mr. Xu, Zheng Hao is more reassuring...
Bu Langni picked up the jug and filled Zheng Haoman's glass, and said softly, "Then when shall we discuss it in detail?"
Zheng Hao tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingers, and said with a smile, "Well, if it's convenient for you, why don't you go to the capital with me tomorrow morning? Let's go and investigate?"
Buroni asked in surprise, "Tomorrow, the two of us?"
Zheng Hao grinned, "I'm going to pick someone up. If you're worried, bring someone else. Li Xiangrong, your little follower."
In the kitchen, Feng Yifan helped Li Xiangrong take care of Gao Tang, and said casually, "I made an agreement with the boss, I will leave the job before the Chinese New Year, and my family is in a hurry, so I am not busy here anymore."
Li Xiangrong paused for a moment on his wrist, and said in a low voice, "You are leaving too?"
"I could leave at any time," Feng Yifan shrugged, "It's you, now you are the mainstay if you stick to it and wait for the Bu family to turn around. Staying, the times are tough will train people more.”
Feng Yifan spoke with sincerity, Li Xiangrong also nodded solemnly, the two of them worked in silence for a while, Feng Yifan sighed again, "He Zhishan will be in the final tomorrow, I hope he wins the championship and I am afraid that he will not come back .”
After finishing all the dishes, Li Xiangrong let Feng Yifan go first, and stayed behind to slowly tidy up the kitchen. After turning off the fire, the space quickly became cold, only his hands soaked in hot water were still a little warm.
Buroni hurried over and said to Li Xiangrong, "Go back and pack up. We will follow Zheng Hao to the capital for the plane tomorrow morning."
"Are you going to see Brother He's game?" Li Xiangrong was a little surprised, "What about the banquet tomorrow night?"
"There's also Master Lu," Buroni said indifferently, "it's more important that you come with me. Let's investigate the catering industry in Beijing."
"I haven't heard that you have such a plan."
"It's not my plan, it's Zheng Hao's plan," Buroni sighed, "I vaguely think he has some ideas, I didn't expect him to move so fast, depending on what he means, whether we go or not , He always wants to make a trip by himself, and when he makes up his mind, I am afraid there will be more other options, we still have to seize this opportunity."
"You mean, cooperate with Zheng Hao? Let him invest in the Bu family?" Li Xiangrong grasped the essentials and said happily, "That would be great!"
"It's hard to say whether it's good or not," Buroni patted the back of his neck. "Of course, if we go to the capital tomorrow, let's go to Brother He's finals tonight. We'll be there directly, don't tell him yet."
The author has something to say: the work at the end of the year is really driving people crazy... everyone must hold on!
I'm really sorry, I've been vomiting blood recently...I'm going on a business trip again, I'm really ashamed for not updating in time...I'll try to resume daily updates next week...

The flight to the capital at noon the next day arrived on time. Zheng Hao had already booked a hotel and asked them to go and settle down first. He agreed to meet at the entrance of the studio at 7:[-] pm. If he had time in the afternoon, he would go shopping by himself. Bu Langni said he was sorry for the trouble senior, Zheng Hao patted him on the shoulder and said that he still had to wait at the airport to pick up a friend, see you tonight.
Being able to come to the capital on the first day of the new year, Li Xiangrong was still a little dizzy along the way, lying on the car window to see dizzyingly, making small exclamations from time to time, even though he was stuck in traffic for a long time on the way, he did not lose his spirits, Bu Lang Seeing his smiling face, Ni felt that the traffic jams that always make people angry are not so annoying. Friends are never bored when they are together, and they can chat for a long time on any topic.
When we arrived at the hotel, the room was average, mainly due to the convenient transportation, and it was only half a stop away from the stadium studio. After the two of them simply cleaned up and planned to go to eat something, it was time to walk to the stadium.
It was freezing cold in Beijing in the twelfth lunar month, and there was a biting cold wind when they went outside. The two of them wore the thickest clothes and made sufficient mental preparations, but they still shivered from the cold. Buroni originally wanted to find a well-known shop. , I lost interest now, so I dragged Li Xiangrong to find a restaurant near his home.
Unexpectedly, this low-rise bungalow restaurant with only a light sign hanging at the entrance of the alley facing the street is no different from the old Beijing houses. When you open the door, you will find that it is very lively: the small space is densely packed with tables, full of diners, There are no single rooms, no private seats, just a big straight house without any decorations on the walls. The boss sits behind the glass counter with cold dishes at the foot of the wall and smiles and smokes. The kitchen is in the backyard.
The rushing heat forced Ronnie to unbutton his coat, and he said in surprise, "It's not five o'clock yet, and there are so many people eating!" The nimble waiter pursed his lips and smiled, "Hurry up and sit down, it's time to eat in a while." Line up!"
Buroni flipped through the menu and said, "At first, I thought that when I came to the capital, I would have to eat fried liver, stewed liver, fried belly, etc., but now I just want to eat something hot. The weather is too cold."
Li Xiangrong was trembling while holding his teacup, "Last month I was only wearing single clothes in Yangcheng, China is too big."
The waiter hurriedly added hot tea to them, "Are you tourists? It's not easy to come to our store. We have the authentic taste of the capital here, and we are all old customers."
Li Xiangrong leaned his neck to watch Buroni flip through the menu, Buroni simply handed him the menu, and looked up to ask the waiter what special dishes he had.
The recipes are poorly printed, and there are no colorful pictures. Most of the dish names are unfamiliar. The waiter recommended a few dishes. Buroni said without much interest, then just serve two dishes, hurry up, and hurry up. .
While waiting for the dishes, Buroni wanted to test Li Xiangrong, so he asked what happened to the so-called Yanjing flavor?
As expected, Li Xiangrong had been working hard for a long time, and he opened his mouth to answer that the capital has been an important town in northern my country since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. It was the capital of the Five Dynasties, and it was the political, economic, cultural, and diplomatic center of our country.There are many cuisine technicians from all over the country.Beijing cuisine consists of local cuisine, Halal cuisine, palace
It is a fusion of court cuisine and official cuisine, with strong and fresh taste, various textures, a variety of dishes, and four distinct seasons.
Shandong cuisine has a profound influence on the formation of Beijing cuisine and is the foundation of Beijing cuisine; the famous "whole lamb mat" and "boiled lamb" in Halal cuisine have a long history and unique flavor; palace cuisine has a prominent position in Beijing cuisine, and its ingredients are precious and seasoned. Delicate, elegant dishes; government dishes pay attention to the original taste, spare no expense in ingredients, and the heat is enough...
Buroni nodded in satisfaction, and asked again, how many schools are there for Shandong cuisine?
Li Xiangrong said cheerfully that Feng Yifan told him that Shandong’s Jiaodong School and Jinan School were fused and exchanged in Beijing, forming the main techniques of frying, frying, deep-frying, simmering, steaming, and roasting. The taste is strong yet fresh The crisp and tender flavor widely affects the formation of northern flavors such as Qilu, Songliao, Sanjin, and Qinlong.
Buroni said yes, yes, I am very pleased that you have worked so hard.
His appearance is exquisite and elegant
Bu Wei smiled lightly, "You were there that day, why don't you cook some authentic Bu family vegetarian dishes?"
He Zhishan said sternly, "Lonnie told Xiao Li to be the chef of vegetarian dishes. He really did a good job. I helped him prepare a dish of mushrooms using the Bu family's secret recipe. It can be regarded as a Bu family dish."
"Zhishan," Lu Yong said slowly, "You have been with me for more than ten years. Although Bujiacai has always attached importance to learning and communication, making improvements and innovations to the dishes, and maintaining a state of constant updating, but with Xiaoli Wouldn’t it be too low if the vegetarian dishes in the restaurant were used as a starting point?”
Bu Wei glanced at the old man in surprise. Such arrogant words did not seem to come from Lu Yong's mouth. Chef, your duty is not only to inherit Bu’s cuisine, but also to make plans for its development. We are now attaching great importance to the development of vegetarian banquets. It is not a temporary emergency, nor is it a random temptation. Start from a high starting point and see a little further."
He Zhishan listened intently, nodded slightly, and Lu Yong continued, "All the better restaurants are selling shark fin and bird's nest, some for tens of dollars a bowl, and some for hundreds of dollars a bowl, and those selling twice-cooked pork and fish-flavored eggplant. There are small restaurants all over the street. Why are some shops overcrowded and others empty? In the catering industry, after all, it depends on the chef's skills, and relying on the help of others can only prosper for a while. Only real delicious food can last forever. Do you think Xiaoli's Vegetarian dishes can be classic
? ”
He Zhishan raised his eyebrows, "Master, I think you should try Xiaoli's dishes yourself. You haven't eaten his creations for a long, long time."
Lu Yong said bluntly, "Indeed, after he and An Dongbi tried it last time, I really haven't tasted his dishes, especially the pure vegetarian dishes."
If Li Xiangrong was present, he would probably want to remind Lu Yong and Bu Wei that a few months ago when he strongly asked to be the master of "Dinghu Shangsu" at the feast, he returned to Manshuyuan and devoted himself to practicing for a period of time. Under the circumstances, they have already made a real evaluation of their vegetarian dishes, but after so long, they are still not sure of their progress.
He Zhishan said, "Xiao Li has made great progress. His knife skills are excellent, and he is good at making ordinary ingredients unique and beautiful. He writes that the profit margins of these dishes are quite good. Let's carefully match them to make a whole table. It must be pretty."
Bu Wei shook his hand and said, "Zhi Shan, let's first consider whether the dishes are good enough, and then consider the cost price. The Bu family made the swallow's wings top-notch, so naturally it is impossible to lower the price. Now, should we make the plain seats elegant and expensive, or simple?" Affordable? There are several reasons for people to be vegetarian: religious influence, health reasons, psychological preferences, and environmental protection. In China, the majority of vegetarians are probably the first two. For different groups of people, the selection of vegetarian dishes is also different. Believers in Buddhism Some people don’t even eat onions, garlic and leeks; people with physical reasons may have taboos on radishes and tofu; are there people who don’t eat eggs or drink milk? Alternative menus, people who are willing to eat vegetarian outside are definitely not poor people, we have to make vegetarian seats that are expensive enough.”
He Zhishan quickly took notes, and hesitated after finishing writing, "I'm still wondering if the business at the end of the year is still so deserted, should we do some promotional discounts? Our prices are too high, and it is too difficult for ordinary people to consume. gone."
Bu Wei said calmly, "Because our prices have always been high, we have to continue to keep them so high. Now even if we are trying to be brave, we can't do things that will lower our own value."
He waved his hand, indicating that the conversation is over, He Zhishan pursed his lips and left his office with a notebook, Bu Wei and Lu Yong looked at each other with wry smiles.
"Maybe I'm old," Bu Wei worried, "but Lonnie isn't old enough."
"It's not a matter of old and young," Lu Yong sighed, "Since we have decided to fade out slowly, we should give them full trust and do what we should do now."
Li Xiangrong lay on the bed and flipped through a book on crisis management. The book was bought by Buroni at the school's second-hand bookstall. The pages were still new, and the pages were full of words such as "idea", "risk", and "awareness". This student who failed the college entrance examination was at a loss.
The Xinhua dictionary next to the pillow can only look up new words, but some conceptual questions are not clear. Li Xiangrong copied the passages that he did not understand in a small notebook. Baidu on the computer.
It's not that he is eager to learn, but that the dictator Buroni involuntarily assigned him homework. Modern talents must understand both technology and the market. In short, he resumed handwritten homework after two years of leaving school.
Although there is nothing wrong with learning more things, but compared to cooking, I really don’t like to study management. Li Xiangrong yawned, and the black letters on the paper were like a group of small flying insects flying around in front of his eyes. He wiped his eyes, Look at the alarm clock, whether to follow the body and mind and fall asleep, or insist on reading this chapter, it is a painful choice.
Just as he was drooling on the opened pages, his cell phone rang suddenly, and Li Xiangrong trembled all over his body. When he pressed the call button, Buroni's voice immediately came clearly: "Are you asleep?"
It's past 11 o'clock, it's time to go to bed... Li Xiangrong nodded silently, and tried to answer in a bright tone, "Not yet, I'm reading a book."
"Oh..." Buroni paused, "If you're not in a hurry to sleep, I'll go find you."
"Eh? Is there something urgent?" Li Xiangrong rolled over. There was no heating in the small room, and the cup opened a crack to let in the cold air.
"It's urgent, but it's not. I feel uncomfortable..." Buroni hesitated a little, "I heard some rumors, and I want to discuss it with you. If you want to sleep, or tomorrow..."
When Buroni said the word "tomorrow", he made no secret of his reluctance. Li Xiangrong thought that you are so sad, what else can I say? Seeing this attitude, the little boss might have a long talk all night. I have to bear it.
"Then you bring something to eat." Li Xiangrong dragged over a heavy sweater and trousers and put them on. "It's a bit cold here, you should wear thicker." He jumped out of bed, turned on the electric heater, and the bright red electric stove wires warmed the air. Warmed the night air.
There was a knock on the door, and Buroni was wrapped in a woolen coat, with a big bag in his hand.
"My mother made egg yolk crisps and coconut bread, and I bought stewed beef outside, and I brought beer." After all, the late-night visit was abrupt, and Buroni took out a large amount of food and put it away, sitting in the Toast your hands in front of the electric heater.
Li Xiangrong muttered, "It's too cold to drink beer now, let's drink boiled water." He poured two glasses of white water, opened a piece of bread and started to eat. "What is there that can't wait until tomorrow?"
Buroni held the water glass and looked at him deeply. The fine white coconut stood on his rosy face, which seemed to be emitting a sweet aroma. He gritted his teeth and said calmly, "You mentioned that Mr. Xu also found passed you, right?"
"Well, ask me to meet and give me a sum of money to leave Bu's house. I didn't agree, what's wrong?" Li Xiangrong finished eating the bread in twos, clapped his hands and said, "He's looking for you again?"
Buroni lowered his head, under the dim yellow desk lamp, his hair gave off a dark blue halo, and the sound of his subtle breathing was amplified in the silence. It took him a long time to raise his head. , the emerald green pupils that looked as cold as the calm deep sea were covered with sparkling water, swaying on the long and distinct eyelashes.
"You...what's the matter?" Li Xiangrong squatted down and looked up at him. Buroni's face was fair, but at the moment it was so pale that there was no trace of blood.
"Tao Xingming and Anton, we have to go." Brony said softly.
"Go?" Li Xiangrong opened his mouth wide in surprise, "They
Want to talk to Mr. Xu? "
The author has something to say: the weather is so cold...

24.
Tao Xingming and Anton's leaving Bu's house at this time made people uncomfortable, especially Bu Langni, who must have believed that these two were traitors.
Li Xiangrong was silent for a while. A lot of money and the opportunity to start a business are actually very attractive to ordinary people. In this flashy money-worshiping society, who would be indifferent to wealth and opportunities?
Loyalty is a kind of morality that is gradually forgotten, and friendship is a joke that cannot be easily attacked by a single blow. What does Bujia, who is declining day by day, retain talents, and is his personality attractive?Funny.
Li Xiangrong opened the bag of stewed beef carefully, took out his kitchen knife to wash it, and slowly cut it one by one. The dark red meat was almost motionless, only the shadow of the knife passed by. With his movements, the plastic bags were spread flat on the table without making a sound.
Wipe the kitchen knife clean, press it lightly with your fingers, and the piece of meat fell down slowly, like the pages of a new book being rubbed open. Arong picked up a piece of beef.
Buroni smiled, "The knife skills are really good."
Arong handed the beef to Buroni. Buroni sipped his lips and held the piece of meat in his mouth, biting it into his mouth with his teeth and chewing carefully.
"You can eat it too," Buroni said vaguely. The stewed beef is a little salty, and the aftertaste has some kind of bitterness from medicinal herbs. "I heard that this restaurant is delicious, but I don't think it's very good."
Li Xiangrong sniffed his fingers, took out a tissue to wipe his hands, shook his head and said, "I don't want to eat this."
His eyes were watery, and he turned his head and sniffed.
Buroni felt annoyed, thinking that he had brought back Arong's nostalgia for his father, and felt that the beef in his mouth was tasteless, so he took out a can of beer, opened it, and took several gulps.
"Aren't you cold?" Li Xiangrong mumbled as he poured boiled water for him, and white smoke rose up, blurring his vision.
Buroni tilted his head to look at him, spread his arms very slowly, lowered his voice and said softly, "It's cold," pressing his right hand to his heart, Buroni smiled bitterly, " Really cold."
Li Xiangrong, who had been standing all the time, bent his head and looked down at him, feeling unreal, the always arrogant Buroni was almost fragile at the moment, he didn't like to see Buroni like this.
It turns out that leaving can make Lonnie so pitiful and ugly, Li Xiangrong thought calmly.
The corners of Buroni's raised eyes were a little red, which made Li Xiangrong inexplicably anxious. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Buroni's shoulders and lifted him up, lifting him from the chair. Buroni staggered and stood still, surprised stared at him.
Li Xiangrong forced himself to laugh, but his eyes were hot and his voice was hoarse due to his irritability, so he gave Bronney a rough push, "It's too late, go back to sleep! I'm sleepy!"
Buroni let out an ah as if he hadn't realized it yet, and Li Xiangrong said loudly, "Don't worry, I won't leave here! Can you go back to sleep?"
"I, I didn't mean that!" Buroni reached out to grab him, it wasn't like this, running to this narrow room in the cold winter night to find Li Xiangrong was not to test and confirm, he just felt sad and had no place to express it , just want to be with friends
Stay together and absorb some warmth, "Arong, don't think so..."
"Then what should I think?" Li Xiangrong took a few deep breaths, closed his eyes, and said coldly, "Okay, you should have confidence in me, what I have to do now is more important than getting a sum of money, so I won't go."
"Then what is most important to you?" Buroni couldn't help asking.
"Do what you should do and work harder." Li Xiangrong relaxed the corners of his lips a little bit, and the flames hovering in his heart slowly weakened in the other's warm eyes, "Bu Langni, you take me to Bu's house, give me I think there is a sky beyond the sky, is the sky going to collapse now? Unless you take the initiative to drive me away, I..."
Buroni laughed silently, and the real smile spread in his emerald green eyes, like the surface of a lake wrinkled by the breeze, "The sky won't collapse, you will help me up, right?" He The corners of his lips grinned, revealing his white front teeth, "Actually, I can figure it out if they want to leave, but if you want to leave, you have to come up with a reason that can convince me."
I know that you don't value money, and you don't have any ambitions. The reason why money and ambition are less attractive to you is because you don't have the concept of this aspect at all.Buroni added in his heart, Li Xiangrong is honest, simple, dull, and even naive, how can such a person be bought directly with money?
He thought he had never understood Li Xiangrong as well as he did at this moment. In this silly boy's heart, don't talk about money, it's too vulgar and hurts feelings.
Let's not talk about money, let's talk about feelings, Buroni finally smiled comfortably.
Tao Xingming and Anton disappeared into the kitchen of Bu's house without a sound, only He Zhishan and Li Xiangrong were busy in the huge space.
Due to the difficulties in manpower and material resources, the Bu family suspended the order of the swallow-wing banquet. Thanks to some old customers who came to hold the vegetarian banquet, they can barely maintain one table a day. The cost of vegetarian dishes is relatively low, and the price of the dishes has been adjusted accordingly .
Li Xiangrong was dexterously carving radish flowers, and He Zhishan cooked a broth with yellow sprouts to taste the mushrooms. The usually lively kitchen was silent, but he felt the other party's presence more clearly. Li Xiangrong gritted his teeth and had nothing to say. , "Brother He, are you ready for the New Year's Day finals?"
"En," He Zhishan responded casually while pouring the soup pot.
"Then, are you going alone?" Li Xiangrong asked tangledly, "Oh, sister Bai, are you going to give birth soon?"
"The due date is at the beginning of January, but I have only been back and forth for three or four days, and the family has hired someone to take care of it." When talking about his wife, He Zhishan's voice was a little softer, "I should come back in time to see the birth of the child."
Li Xiangrong said "That's great", and silence fell again.
After a while, He Zhishan said in a low voice, "If you participate in the finals with assistants, you need to reduce the scoring coefficient. For the Mid-Autumn Festival, thank you very much."
Li Xiangrong quickly shook his head and said, "You're too polite, Brother He, the past is over, you have to work hard for the final!"
He Zhishan nodded, "I can't speak, Xiao Li, if I have gone too far, please don't take it to heart."
Huh?If Chef He would say such words, Li Xiangrong put down the tool in his hand, touched his forehead with the back of his hand, and mouth
Li said nonsense, no, no, no.
"Yifan is on vacation, and it's just the two of us now. Seriously, I didn't expect you to stay," He Zhishan said calmly, "I'm not surprised that Anton wants to leave. He's ambitious and impatient. Show him that it shouldn't be like this."
"Brother Tao, you are a very nice person. Anyway, this is an opportunity. I can do something by myself..." Li Xiangrong said, "Everyone has their own ambitions, and it's not easy."
"I didn't expect you to be so open-minded." He Zhishan looked at him deeply, "You have surprised me again. I thought you would despise them. After all, you are more noble."
"Noble, that's an exaggeration." Li Xiangrong arranged the radish flowers carefully, "Buroni brought me here, and sent me to research. He has been helping me, I have to remember."
He Zhishan sneered, "He has successfully trained you. He treats you well, so you treat him well?"
"Isn't this a matter of course?"
"Is what he arranged for you the best you want?"
"It's better than I imagined."
He Zhishan raised a hand to signal the end of the conversation, and the two put the prepared dishes on the dining car.
On the Liu platform, Buroni poured wine respectfully for Zhong Cheng with a jug, and put the dishes on the table one by one, such as broccoli tofu like jadeite, stewed magnolia slices with mushrooms in black and white, sweet osmanthus fresh chestnut soup The tangy, clear soup of bamboo fungus is delicious and smooth. Zhong Cheng praised, "This is the cheapest meal I have eaten at Bu's."
Buroni laughed, "Eating more vegetarian dishes is healthy and affordable."
Zhong Cheng said, "We should do more publicity, let me record a program for you." He paused, "The Bu family usually doesn't like to show their faces, I see you have also advertised on the traffic radio recently. "
"I can't help it. The smell of wine is also afraid that the alley is deep, and the competition is too fierce." Buroni spread his hands, "Thank you, Uncle Zhong, I just wanted to ask you for mercy on this matter."
"It's easy to say," Zhong Cheng laughed, and drank up the flower carvings in the small cup, "A few days ago, someone in the station told me that there is a vegetarian restaurant called 'Suke' that tastes very good, and asked me to consider doing a phase. , I haven’t eaten there yet, do you know this restaurant?”
Buroni shook his head, "I've only been to Manshuyuan, a vegetarian restaurant."
"Speaking of Manshuyuan, it's also a vegetarian dish. Why don't I make a special feature on vegetarian dishes?" Zhong Cheng clapped his hands, "In fact, the vegetarian dishes are quite good. To be honest, anyone who has seen the breeding farm and slaughterhouse with his own eyes will probably eat them for the rest of his life. No more meat."
"It's not such an exaggeration," Buroni thought to himself, who would go to see such a place if he had nothing to do.
"I was in Southeast Asia in September." Zhong Cheng picked up a broccoli and put it on the plate. "Go out to sea with the boat and watch them kill sharks... I feel that I have eaten so many shark fins. It is really a sin."
"But many people also know that sharks are very pitiful, and they don't just eat them all the time," Buroni said disapprovingly. "If you want to talk about cruelty, there are people who eat monkey brains raw, people who skin donkeys alive, and people who eat raw rats." Raw fish, roasted live ducks, freshly roasted live turtles...there are too many, isn't there a rumor that they eat babies?"
"In the name of gourmet food, the reality of perversion, with the desire of appetite, full of cruelty, such a person
Food culture, in the final analysis, is an evil culture," Zhong Chengyu said earnestly, "I have always liked Bujia, the dishes here are quiet and peaceful, and you can appreciate the beauty of grace and generosity. Now, it seems that vegetarian dishes can better reflect compassion Kindness. "
Bronney said calmly, "Thank you, Uncle Zhong, for your support."
"The middle school students' textbooks say 'production determines consumption'. What kind of dishes you make can guide diners to eat them. You have to tell people that radishes are healthier than abalones." Zhong Cheng smiled and wrinkled his eyes. "Lonnie, you are more focused than your father, come on."
Buroni nodded cautiously, thinking of the night that he looked down from the second floor of the bar one night.
The author has something to say: Happy New Year!In the new year, everyone, cheers! ! !
It is very important to eat well and sleep well. Although you are still young, please pay attention to health preservation!

The program recorded by Zhong Cheng was soon broadcast. From the introduction of the Vegetarian Cuisine of Manshuyuan, to the elegant and exquisite Bujia vegetarian banquet and the simple and affordable Suke side dishes, the exquisite pictures and smooth explanations gave the audience a very good sensory enjoyment , and then all three companies received more calls to order meals, ushering in a small □ in the winter catering industry.
Li Xiangrong was a little puzzled and asked Bu Langni why such an extravagant feast during the Mid-Autumn Festival was not as effective as this time. Bu Lang Ni analyzed that the first reason was that the main customers of Bu's family were official entertainment at that time, and the officials didn't want it. The Bu family is well-known, especially sought after by the general public. Second, the Yan Chi is too extravagant, and of course it is not as friendly to the common people as Su Cai. Besides, now that the Bu family is in crisis, the support of fame is even more important.
When the business came, He Zhishan and Li Xiangrong were very busy. Buroni wanted to recruit more people. He Zhishan stopped him and said that it was not a good time, and it was more important to maintain a high-quality order. If only two banquets were served in one night Being busy, the vegetarian banquet at Bujia is actually not cheaper than the luxury banquet at ordinary restaurants, and many people gave up the plan of ordering food as soon as they asked about the price.
"Let's wait until I come back from the finals to decide whether to recruit people," He Zhishan said, patting Bu Langni on the shoulder.
"If you win..." Buroni stopped talking. If he won the first place in the country, he would have a large bonus, better job opportunities and entrepreneurial opportunities. If He Zhishan has enough strength, then he will also Are you going back to Bu's house?
Buroni went to ask Master Lu for his opinion, and Lu Yong said seriously that it is easy to recruit and difficult to keep, and it is even more difficult to find the right one. Even chefs who have devoted themselves to training for several years will leave under the temptation of money Now, what if we can recruit apprentices of average level, can we guarantee that they will work faithfully?
Lu Yong has aged a lot in the past few months, especially the departure of Tao Xingming and Anton has dealt a great blow to him. The apprentice he personally selected behaved like this, but a junior who has been excluded can stick to it, which makes him With a lot of emotion, he sighed secretly.
Most of December passed quickly, and with the growing atmosphere of Christmas and New Year, restaurants and restaurants ushered in the busiest and prosperous time of the year. From Christmas to Chinese New Year for more than a month, all Chinese When people are keen on banquets, all kinds of promotional advertisements are stimulating people's nerves, adding fuel to the already turbulent consumption desire.
However, the practice of the Bu family is to have a holiday from 12.22 to 1.6, a total of [-] days. The whole family will go back to France to visit relatives for the festival. In the past, the business of the Bu family was prosperous, and they didn’t care about the half-month rest, but this year’s situation gave way Wei is very confused.
He can't close the business as gracefully and calmly as in previous years, and he can't go abroad with high spirits, but the meaning of Christmas is very special to Fanny, and he can't let his wife go back to her mother's house by herself.The family discussed for a long time, and decided to go back for Christmas. Fanny can stay with Ronning for a longer period of time, and Bu Ronnie stays at home.
Li Xiangrong called Liu Yunxian and wished him good grades. Liu Yunxian said proudly that you just wait for me to shine, and he has devoted himself to practicing for a few months, and he has already improved to a higher level.
December 12st is the last day of the year, so there is also a strong festive atmosphere. Countless banquets will be held when night falls. In a country where rules are prevalent, banquets are given more missions, and appetite has always been the yearning that Chinese people are least condemned but admired.
Bu Wei came back in a hurry to host the last banquet of the year with his son. He Zhishan had already left for the capital in the morning. Tonight's chef was Li Xiangrong, Feng Yifan was his assistant, and Lu Yong was in charge of off-site guidance. Say nothing and don't want to do it yourself.
Zheng Hao was the host, and invited more than a dozen close friends to the banquet. The Qifeng Residence, which the Bu family hadn't used for a long time, was tidied up and looked brand new.
On the occasion of the New Year, leaving his company's reception to his old father and younger sister, Zheng Hao smiled and behaved to everyone, asking everyone to drink a few more glasses of wine for his disloyalty and filial piety.
Xingzi's uncle and aunt were also present, and said with a smile, Young Master Zheng, why do we feel like you are going to start your own business?
Zheng Hao held his wine glass and said, that's not what he said, but he did have some other ideas. There must be a new look in the new year, and everyone should work hard.
And humane, Zheng Shao invited us to the famous Bu's house to have a vegetarian feast, it is very meaningful, is it telling us to walk out of a new path based on tradition?Or should it be high-profile, simple, low-key and extravagant?
After Zheng Hao laughed, he said seriously, "I just want you to eat really good things."
Bu Wei saw that most of the guests were young people, and the Taiwanese guests were already elders, so he gave Bu Langni a low-pitched order and left first. Everyone talked about the financial crisis, currency policy, world situation and other topics, and Bu Lang Ni cheered up to socialize seamlessly.
Someone said, "The current economic situation is really a bit deformed. I think that except for people who have to eat and socialize, other consumption will shrink due to price increases. The catering industry is better."
Others said, "Yes, yes, it's all profiteers who have inflated housing prices, and ordinary people can't live in peace. How can they have money and spend so much?"
Zheng Hao squinted at that person, and said with a smile, "Don't look at me, I'm already going to fade out of that area, and I'm ready to start anew."
"Didn't you also take over a large piece of land on the outskirts of the city?"
"I'm here to expand the zoo, not to build a real estate."
"Does the zoo make money?" the man asked with great interest.
Zheng Hao took a sip of tea, "I want to do something I really like. It would be better if I can earn more money, but the most profitable business of the Zheng family is still in my father's hands, I don't care about that."
"Actually, the catering industry is not easy to do," Buroni interjected, "The financial crisis has also had a great impact on us, and there are far fewer business banquets."
Zheng Hao smiled, "That depends on how you analyze and adjust your market positioning. I have employees who are proficient in strategic planning. Would you like to make a copy for you?"
Buroni was startled, he looked into Zheng Hao's calm eyes, and there were two voices shouting in his heart, [Is he sending charcoal in the snow, or is he taking advantage of the fire? 】
Clinking cups of wine, chatting and laughing happily, it was a harmonious scene, Buroni forced a smile and said, "Okay, please take care of me, senior."
Comparing Zheng Hao and Mr. Xu, Zheng Hao is more reassuring...
Bu Langni picked up the jug and filled Zheng Haoman's glass, and said softly, "Then when shall we discuss it in detail?"
Zheng Hao tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingers, and said with a smile, "Well, if it's convenient for you, why don't you go to the capital with me tomorrow morning? Let's go and investigate?"
Buroni asked in surprise, "Tomorrow, the two of us?"
Zheng Hao grinned, "I'm going to pick someone up. If you're worried, bring someone else. Li Xiangrong, your little follower."
In the kitchen, Feng Yifan helped Li Xiangrong take care of Gao Tang, and said casually, "I made an agreement with the boss, I will leave the job before the Chinese New Year, and my family is in a hurry, so I am not busy here anymore."
Li Xiangrong paused for a moment on his wrist, and said in a low voice, "You are leaving too?"
"I could leave at any time," Feng Yifan shrugged, "It's you, now you are the mainstay if you stick to it and wait for the Bu family to turn around. Staying, the times are tough will train people more.”
Feng Yifan spoke with sincerity, Li Xiangrong also nodded solemnly, the two of them worked in silence for a while, Feng Yifan sighed again, "He Zhishan will be in the final tomorrow, I hope he wins the championship and I am afraid that he will not come back .”
After finishing all the dishes, Li Xiangrong let Feng Yifan go first, and stayed behind to slowly tidy up the kitchen. After turning off the fire, the space quickly became cold, only his hands soaked in hot water were still a little warm.
Buroni hurried over and said to Li Xiangrong, "Go back and pack up. We will follow Zheng Hao to the capital for the plane tomorrow morning."
"Are you going to see Brother He's game?" Li Xiangrong was a little surprised, "What about the banquet tomorrow night?"
"There's also Master Lu," Buroni said indifferently, "it's more important that you come with me. Let's investigate the catering industry in Beijing."
"I haven't heard that you have such a plan."
"It's not my plan, it's Zheng Hao's plan," Buroni sighed, "I vaguely think he has some ideas, I didn't expect him to move so fast, depending on what he means, whether we go or not , He always wants to make a trip by himself, and when he makes up his mind, I am afraid there will be more other options, we still have to seize this opportunity."
"You mean, cooperate with Zheng Hao? Let him invest in the Bu family?" Li Xiangrong grasped the essentials and said happily, "That would be great!"
"It's hard to say whether it's good or not," Buroni patted the back of his neck. "Of course, if we go to the capital tomorrow, let's go to Brother He's finals tonight. We'll be there directly, don't tell him yet."
The author has something to say: the work at the end of the year is really driving people crazy... everyone must hold on!
I'm really sorry, I've been vomiting blood recently...I'm going on a business trip again, I'm really ashamed for not updating in time...I'll try to resume daily updates next week...

The flight to the capital at noon the next day arrived on time. Zheng Hao had already booked a hotel and asked them to go and settle down first. He agreed to meet at the entrance of the studio at 7:[-] pm. If he had time in the afternoon, he would go shopping by himself. Bu Langni said he was sorry for the trouble senior, Zheng Hao patted him on the shoulder and said that he still had to wait at the airport to pick up a friend, see you tonight.
Being able to come to the capital on the first day of the new year, Li Xiangrong was still a little dizzy along the way, lying on the car window to see dizzyingly, making small exclamations from time to time, even though he was stuck in traffic for a long time on the way, he did not lose his spirits, Bu Lang Seeing his smiling face, Ni felt that the traffic jams that always make people angry are not so annoying. Friends are never bored when they are together, and they can chat for a long time on any topic.
When we arrived at the hotel, the room was average, mainly due to the convenient transportation, and it was only half a stop away from the stadium studio. After the two of them simply cleaned up and planned to go to eat something, it was time to walk to the stadium.
It was freezing cold in Beijing in the twelfth lunar month, and there was a biting cold wind when they went outside. The two of them wore the thickest clothes and made sufficient mental preparations, but they still shivered from the cold. Buroni originally wanted to find a well-known shop. , I lost interest now, so I dragged Li Xiangrong to find a restaurant near his home.
Unexpectedly, this low-rise bungalow restaurant with only a light sign hanging at the entrance of the alley facing the street is no different from the old Beijing houses. When you open the door, you will find that it is very lively: the small space is densely packed with tables, full of diners, There are no single rooms, no private seats, just a big straight house without any decorations on the walls. The boss sits behind the glass counter with cold dishes at the foot of the wall and smiles and smokes. The kitchen is in the backyard.
The rushing heat forced Ronnie to unbutton his coat, and he said in surprise, "It's not five o'clock yet, and there are so many people eating!" The nimble waiter pursed his lips and smiled, "Hurry up and sit down, it's time to eat in a while." Line up!"
Buroni flipped through the menu and said, "At first, I thought that when I came to the capital, I would have to eat fried liver, stewed liver, fried belly, etc., but now I just want to eat something hot. The weather is too cold."
Li Xiangrong was trembling while holding his teacup, "Last month I was only wearing single clothes in Yangcheng, China is too big."
The waiter hurriedly added hot tea to them, "Are you tourists? It's not easy to come to our store. We have the authentic taste of the capital here, and we are all old customers."
Li Xiangrong leaned his neck to watch Buroni flip through the menu, Buroni simply handed him the menu, and looked up to ask the waiter what special dishes he had.
The recipes are poorly printed, and there are no colorful pictures. Most of the dish names are unfamiliar. The waiter recommended a few dishes. Buroni said without much interest, then just serve two dishes, hurry up, and hurry up. .
While waiting for the dishes, Buroni wanted to test Li Xiangrong, so he asked what happened to the so-called Yanjing flavor?
As expected, Li Xiangrong had been working hard for a long time, and he opened his mouth to answer that the capital has been an important town in northern my country since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. It was the capital of the Five Dynasties, and it was the political, economic, cultural, and diplomatic center of our country.There are many cuisine technicians from all over the country.Beijing cuisine consists of local cuisine, Halal cuisine, palace
It is a fusion of court cuisine and official cuisine, with strong and fresh taste, various textures, a variety of dishes, and four distinct seasons.
Shandong cuisine has a profound influence on the formation of Beijing cuisine and is the foundation of Beijing cuisine; the famous "whole lamb mat" and "boiled lamb" in Halal cuisine have a long history and unique flavor; palace cuisine has a prominent position in Beijing cuisine, and its ingredients are precious and seasoned. Delicate, elegant dishes; government dishes pay attention to the original taste, spare no expense in ingredients, and the heat is enough...
Buroni nodded in satisfaction, and asked again, how many schools are there for Shandong cuisine?
Li Xiangrong said cheerfully that Feng Yifan told him that Shandong’s Jiaodong School and Jinan School were fused and exchanged in Beijing, forming the main techniques of frying, frying, deep-frying, simmering, steaming, and roasting. The taste is strong yet fresh The crisp and tender flavor widely affects the formation of northern flavors such as Qilu, Songliao, Sanjin, and Qinlong.
Buroni said yes, yes, I am very pleased that you have worked so hard.
His appearance is exquisite and elegant
