Although Wu Zhou was promoted and his salary was higher, there was not only Zhuang Xinmu in the family, but also more children, so the expenses were even greater, and the money had to be divided into two parts. Apart from himself and Zhuang Xinmu had two quotas and took a few as favors. The rest could be given to regular customers of the shop.
In fact, if Zhuang Xinmu hadn't insisted on coming to the shop to celebrate Wu Zhou, he would have just gone back and added an egg.
We still have to wait for Zhuang Xinmu to celebrate her birthday here in the shop. Full of dog food hits her face, and it still smells familiar.
Mao Xiong and Wu Hai took two, and Zhou Xi, who finally came back, also took one. As for his biological father, Zhou Xi said that he would be fine if he had something to eat. As a son with barbecued pork, he would just eat hotpot and other things by himself. .
It's not time yet, but most of the people eating hot pot have arrived. However, some people want to monopolize a table of hot pot. This requires not only courage but also strength. No one has succeeded yet.
So almost every table was set up for ten people, so it was all a matter of favor.
Hot pot is different from other banquets or dishes. There are quite a lot of things that need to be prepared. In order not to delay everyone's eating time, Yuanzhou deliberately adjusted the time when they can enter the store, so the waiting time is not very long.
Yan Junchang and the others arrived relatively early, and were the third in line to go in. Although they were the third, they had to wait for a long time, because one quota was for ten people, and two people were for twenty people. They filed in, too. It will take some time.
When Yan Junchang and the others entered, they did not choose a seat in the hall, but went to the small courtyard. They heard that the environment there was elegant and suitable for eating slowly. They planned to spend half the afternoon here. Anyway, as long as they were in It’s okay before eight o’clock, it’s simply a day to eat.
It’s more generous than eating at a buffet.
"Vice President Du, isn't there a reservation for ten people at each table here? Why don't I care when I see that there are eleven people at the table in front of me? Isn't it said that the rules here are very strict?" Walking behind Du Zijun A bearded man couldn't help but asked curiously.
His name is Du Fan and he is the owner of a small hot pot restaurant. He said it is a small shop but that is only for big guys like Yan Junchang and Du Zijun. In fact, he also has more than 20 restaurants across the country. This time it is because of his The hot pot restaurant needs capital injection to open a new store, and he came to discuss business with Du Zijun. Since his surname is also Du, he might have been in the same family five hundred years ago.
As a person in the catering industry, especially those at the helm, there are very few people who have not heard of Yuan Zhou's name. Yuan Zhou's current reputation in China cannot be explained clearly in just one or two sentences.
Du Fan is no stranger to the name Yuan Zhou, but his main stores are all in the south of the Yangtze River. He has never been to Rongcheng and has never tasted Yuan Zhou’s food. This is the first time and he is a little excited to be able to eat it. Hot pot made by a legendary chef.
He had always heard Du Zijun say that the number of people should be controlled to ten people, and what he just saw was basically a configuration of ten people, so he thought it was indeed ten people according to the regulations. He secretly counted them twice just now, and they were all Eleven people, I thought about asking for details. Maybe I could talk to Yuan Zhou and see if I could get a discount or something for dinner. For example, I didn't have to queue up to eat. It would be great.
It has to be said that sometimes people's imagination is really useless. Before Du Fan could wait for Du Zijun's answer, he had already thought about how to use it to win favors if he got some conveniences. He completely ignored that Yuan Zhou had a nickname " Compasses' is definitely not a false name.
Before Du Zijun could speak, he was overheard by Yan Junchang: "Chef Yuan doesn't specifically stipulate how many people can come to eat. In principle, anyone can come as long as they can sit down and have a quota and are willing to bring them. "
He was very clear about the rules for hot pot day and checked them out specially.
Du Zijun was not angry because Yan Junchang beat him to it, and just added: "The people who come here to eat hot pot are all wealthy people. Usually ten people are enough, but there are exceptions."
The exception today is Wu Yungui's group. Wu Yungui got the quota today, but Jiang Changxi said he wanted to take a ride. How could he not agree? There is still a lot of cooperation between the two families.
In addition, Queen Jiang and Mrs. Wu hit it off at first sight, and sometimes they would meet up to drink tea, go shopping, etc., and they seemed to be developing into best friends. If he didn't agree, he was afraid that he would go home with durians, keyboards, and instant noodles. Ready.
Besides Jiang Changxi, many well-informed business partners had gotten the news. They were all partners and they were all partners in doing business. They also pay attention to being friendly and making money, so they had no choice but to agree. By the time Wu Yungui realized it, there were already eleven of them. , Now that the budget has been exceeded, I will definitely not be able to agree again later. Those who agreed before will have to do this.
If Mrs. Wu didn't have time to come this time but went to take care of the sick Ieyasu, there might have been twelve people.
Wu Yungui was helpless and could only hold on to the small bench in his hand, silently reminding himself that he must count clearly next time.
Du Fan felt a little disappointed after getting the answer, but he knew that this place was not just what he wanted, so he stopped talking and followed everyone to the backyard, where there were obviously four tables. , there is a chair at each table, the seats are fairly widely spaced, and there are clear distinctions, so you don’t have to worry about sitting on the wrong seat.
Everyone placed the chairs they brought and sat on them. The original chair must be given to the person who got the quota by default. Even Yan Junchang agreed with this.
He and Tian Penghao didn't have time to buy chairs, but they had already made preparations. They set up a temporary stall at the shop next to the hot pot, selling various chairs with beautiful colors and patterns to choose from. Not just plastic ones, but also some wooden ones, serving both the discerning and the inconsiderate.
Moreover, you can not only buy chairs but also rent them. It costs two yuan an hour. You pay for how many hours you sit there. There is no deposit and you don’t have to worry about taking the chair with you. It’s convenient and simple.
I have to say that this boss is also a smart man who knows how to seize opportunities according to the changing circumstances.
Yan Junchang's chairs were rented, and they were carved wooden benches. The wood looked good, and it felt very oily and shiny when touched.
This boss is a thief. He gets the goods from Ma Xiao's factory. Not only is the quality guaranteed, but he also takes care of business. After all, he relies on Yuan Zhou to do business, and Ma Xiao is Yuan Zhou's junior brother. It is natural to take advantage of it.
After ten people sat down one after another, it didn't take long before someone came to serve the pot. It was Mao Ye who brought it. She came to work overtime today and was quite tired, but she also had a lot of small money, so she was very motivated.
I don’t know how Yan Junchang and Du Zijun discussed it. The hot pot they ordered this time was the Guizhou province’s black bean hot pot that Yan Junchang and Tian Penghao wanted to eat.
When Mao Ye just brought it over and didn't get close, a spiciness hit his nose. When he brought it to him, the bright red color made people feel festive just looking at it.
Not everyone knows about this black bean hot pot, so when the hot pot was served, Yan Junchang gave a brief introduction.
