"You are really good at joking. You almost made me laugh, hahaha." The boss glanced at Long Xiangtian, and then said, his words were much more friendly: "Thank you, young man. What you said makes a lot of sense, indeed. It is because you have nothing that you can have more things. When you said this, I couldn't help but think of the time when I just opened the store. At that time, I graduated from college, and after struggling in the society for a while, I had a little savings. Don't be afraid of you laughing at me, the place where I lived at that time was very shabby. And the small store I opened was only a dozen square meters, how could it be the scale it is now. Not to mention the scale of a few years ago."
The boss paused and then continued, "Little boy, add a dish for this guest. It's my most proud dish. Let the guest try it."
"Boss, what are you doing?" Long Xiangtian asked puzzledly.
The boss smiled, and then said to Long Xiangtian: "Young man, I see that you are destined to be together, so this dish is a treat for you. This is my most proud dish, although it is not made by me, but by my apprentice. But my apprentice is still very good. He has learned my true skills, so what he makes is actually no different from what I make."
"Boss, you are really a fool. If you open a business like this, you will go bankrupt! We have never met before. We just chatted for a few minutes, and you gave me a dish. You are losing money." Long Xiangtian said jokingly.
"Oh, little brother, you are joking. In this vast sea of people, it is enough to meet someone you can talk to, or someone who can make each other feel comfortable at this moment, regardless of gender, just judging by the person. This is fate. What's wrong with my brother giving you a dish? How much does a dish cost? Are you afraid that I will lose money and go bankrupt? If a dish can make me go bankrupt, then how did I manage my business to this day? Although I know you are joking, I still want to talk to you. This is a business. There are so many customers every day, and sometimes you have to do activities, right? Feedback to customers, so that customers are happy, and I am happy too. Although these free dishes may cost a lot of money, we should look at things from a long-term and developmental perspective, don't you think?"
The boss paused, took a break, and then continued: "Oh, I'm old now, and I'm a little tired after just talking so little. Actually, you look at me like this, but I used to be a broadcasting major in school. Hehe, you didn't expect it, let me tell you, when I was young, I was very handsome, and the girls who chased me could line up from the Dachang Bridge to the door of my school dormitory!"
"Is it that exaggerated? I really can't tell! Hahahaha, boss, you're really humorous." Long Xiangtian said with a smile.
"Hahaha, although it's not that exaggerated, but it's almost the same. In fact, when I was in school, I was called the little prince of broadcasting! People called me the broadcasting grass, commonly known as the sound grass. Although it doesn't sound as good and powerful as the school grass, it's still okay. By the way, let's continue with what we said before. Where was I before? Oh, yes, we must look at things with a long-term and developmental perspective. Although I have spent a lot of money giving back to customers. But if the customers are happy, I will be happy too. And then the customers will recommend more people, which is equivalent to advertising for the store. Think about it, normal advertising fees are expensive, right? Compared with that, what is mine? And the customers can also enjoy it, so isn't it more convincing, don't you think?"
"Then what happened? We continued, and the customers brought me other customers. Then my store's business got better, and I made money. Don't you think I was happy? And when I saw customers praising my store, the psychological feeling was simply too good. I felt that I had gained self-worth in life after being recognized and affirmed. By the way, let's talk about what I didn't finish talking about before. I said before that I didn't live well, right? At that time, I didn't know how to make sushi very well, but I liked to eat it when I was in school. Because it was convenient, I could eat a lot, and it was quite affordable. After that, I opened my own store, and I thought every day, how can I make it delicious? I didn't have any other ideas at that time. Although life was also difficult, when I think about that time, although it was hard, I was very happy. Then I studied new recipes every day and tried different sushi. Later, I saw more and more customers, and I was very happy."
"Yes, boss, you are really an experienced person. You have said so much without realizing it. You look dry in the mouth. Drink some water quickly." At this time, the boss's apprentice brought up the boss's most proud specialty.
This dish looks very simple on the surface, just like ordinary sushi. It is not as good-looking as those expensive sushi. It is not gorgeous, but very simple and plain.
"Young man, even though this dish doesn't look good, it took my most proud apprentice a year to learn how to make this dish! You know, he can learn to make those expensive dishes in less than a month, but this one took him a year to learn, so you can imagine how difficult this dish is to make."
Long Xiangtian looked at it carefully, and it seemed that there was no particular difference.
However, when Long Xiangtian ate a piece of sushi, he felt it was simply delicious.
Anyway, it is difficult to express it in words. Long Xiangtian kept saying to the boss: "Good! Good! Good! It is so delicious! I have never eaten such delicious sushi."
The boss looked at Long Xiangtian eating so deliciously, smiling from ear to ear, his face as happy as a flower. The boss then said: "See, I didn't lie to you! Isn't it super delicious? Hehe, let me tell you, this dish of mine was famous throughout Country G!"
From this dish we can see that what the boss said before was indeed not bragging. This dish alone can make a restaurant famous. There is no other reason, it can only be because it is so delicious!
After finishing their meal, Long Xiangtian and Lin Jiaxin walked onto the street.
After much pestering from Karena Lam, Long Xiangtian finally agreed to attend the birthday party.
However, in the evening, Long Xiangtian attended the party and was ridiculed.
To laugh at his simple dressing style is, in fact, to laugh at his poverty.
"Lin Jiaxin, is it your birthday today?" Long Xiangtian asked casually.
"No, it's just that there is a party today that I have to attend, but I don't dare to go alone, so I just found someone to accompany me." Lin Jiaxin didn't dare to look directly into Long Xiangtian's eyes, and her voice was trembling when she said this.
"Whatever! You are too casual! What if I blackmail you? Aren't you afraid that I will abduct you, or rape and kill you?" Long Xiangtian looked at Lin Jiaxin in disbelief.
"What's wrong with this world? Are all the beauties nowadays very open-minded?" Long Xiangtian didn't dare to say this out loud, for he was afraid that Lin Jiaxin would hit him off. He could only think about this in his mind.
