After all, Han Xun is still very measured in doing things. The school he found for Lin Shu is not too far from Qingyu High School where Lin Mo is studying. It belongs to the affiliated middle school of Qingyu High School, and the students in the school have the priority to enroll in Qingyu High School. The school has strong teachers and is a good school in the entire capital. Han Xun asked a second generation who had a good relationship with him to help match him, and paid some money. It didn't take much effort to let Lin Shu successfully insert himself into the first year of junior high school. top class. In the boundary of the capital, as long as the locals are more or less able to be a bit of a bender, and there are not a few rich people, Lin Shu's ability to directly jump to the top class depends entirely on his excellent Mathematical Olympiad results. The almost perfect score in the entrance test blocked the mouths of all dissatisfied people.
Teacher Xie, the homeroom teacher, is an elderly math teacher. He is chubby and kind, and his class is humorous and funny, which makes him very popular with students. At the same time, he is also a special-grade teacher specially hired by the school to preside over the school's Mathematical Olympiad training courses and has brought out many outstanding students. He is highly respected both among teachers and among students.
After getting a general understanding of Mr. Xie's background, Lin Mo felt a little more at ease.
After Han Xun hastily arranged Lin Shu's affairs, he hurriedly flew back to Country M to continue his studies. He didn't send books to Lin Shu's office as he said, but asked Lin Shu to live with Lin Mo temporarily, and make plans after adapting to the environment in the capital.
Lin Mo's commute to and from school is quite different from Lin Shu's. Although the two schools are not far away, it takes more than half an hour to walk. Lin Shu is new here, and Lin Mo is worried that he will take the bus to and from school alone. , originally wanted to ask Ye Zhiqiu to help him pick up Lin Shu for a while. As a result, Han Xun waved his hand and sent a company driver to take Lin Shu to and from school every day.
Children in big cities are far less innocent than children in small places. The environment they live in helps them develop a pair of sharp eyes early on. The children in Qingyu Affiliated Junior High School, a semi-aristocratic school, are even more extraordinary.
As a student from other places, Lin Shu entered the top class right away. The students in the class were very curious about him, and surprisingly, there was no crowding out—of course, this is not really a surprise. The Qingyu High School shows that his family is rich and powerful, and that he was able to transfer to the top class, which shows that Lin Shu's grades are very good. This kind of "other people's child" is often the teacher's favorite. Before there is a conflict of interest, only people with mental problems will make enemies with him.
Lin Shu skipped a grade and entered the first year of junior high school. He was young and had just started to draw, and instantly became one of the shortest boys in the class. Teacher Xie arranged him in the first row of the classroom near the podium, following the small class Sit together. Lin Shu briefly introduced his name and hometown, and his standard Mandarin disappointed some children who wanted to watch a good show. In the first English class, in order to get familiar with the learning level of the new students, the teacher frequently picked Lin Shu up to answer questions. To her surprise, Lin Shu could speak American English fluently and even some uncommon slang words. If she hadn't studied in country M, she probably wouldn't have understood. At first, she was worried that children from small places would be weak in English, but now it seems that she has found a treasure.
After class, she specifically asked Lin Shu if his family had let him go abroad. Lin Shu said that he had never been, but he had a cousin who was from country M, and he brought him a lot of movies and TV shows from country M. English is learned from inside. The English teacher probably couldn't imagine that Lin Shu's initial motivation to study English hard was to expose this uncle's "insidious and evil" villain.
The younger you are, the stronger your language learning ability is. If Lin Shu doesn’t understand anything, you can ask Lin Mo or Han Xun in time. In addition, you can watch foreign language movies for half an hour every day for learning languages. Lin Shu’s Spoken language is difficult to think well.
Lin Shu's self-learning ability is quite strong. His small head seems to be born for learning, and he is especially talented in science. He has learned physics, which he is most interested in, by himself in high school. Occasionally, he can answer a question or two for his brother. The questions that come out can make him happy for half a month.
After a day of class, Lin Shu left a very good impression on half of the main class teachers. Especially Teacher Xie, watching Lin Shushun smoothly answer those Olympiad questions, he was so happy that he could see his teeth but not his eyes.
Students in the top class pay more attention to grades, and suddenly there is such a strong competitor in the class, many students with top grades feel a little bit of pressure.
The Qingyu High School is semi-aristocratic, but not all the students come from such rich families. The school recruits some poor students with excellent grades every year to ensure the overall teaching performance. The tuition fees of Qingyu High School are very high, and the scholarships are also quite high. Students from poor families can get all tuition and miscellaneous fees waived as long as their grades are good enough. The scholarships they get are not only enough for their living expenses for the whole year, but can even subsidize their families. Naturally, students from good families would not consider these things. The appearance of Lin Shu put a lot of pressure on those students from poor families. After all, the school rewards only so many rankings every semester, and one more competitor means one less Divide the opportunity.
It just so happened that there were not a few students like this in the top class, and it was not so easy for Lin Shu to integrate into the group for a while. However, these 'student masters' put more of their minds on studying hard, and they are not so free that they have time to find fault with Lin Shu.
Lin Shu didn't care that he failed to integrate into the group at the first time. He felt that as long as he could leave those people he knew and those who knew "her", a little bit of xenophobia was nothing to him.
The teaching staff of Qingyu High School is not at the same level as Lin Shu's original school. No matter how smart Lin Shu was, no matter how good his grades were before, he will feel pressure here. When he was in County L, he was the first student in the county ever to win the national first prize in Mathematics Olympiad, but when he came here, only three of his class had won the national first prize in Mathematics Olympiad, not counting other classes. There are many awards of various kinds. In addition to good grades on weekdays, the students in the class also learn painting, musical instruments, dancing, martial arts, etc. outside of class, they are versatile. Apart from studying, he has nothing to do in these areas. And he seems to be not very sensitive to art by nature. Compared with art, he prefers the martial arts of those heroes on TV-it can strengthen the body and punish the strong and help the weak.
When he was in County L, Lin Shu wanted to learn Taekwondo. The old lady was afraid that he would suffer, and Lin Jian was afraid that he would affect his studies. When he arrived in the capital, he brought up the old matter with Lin Mo again. Lin Mo supported his idea very much. He has a little martial arts self-defense. When he encounters danger, he can always have a chance to save his life. The kidnapping incident planned by Chen Laosan this time also made Lin Mo feel a little more crisis.
No one can be sure that the future will be smooth sailing. If you are really in danger, it is better to rely on yourself than to wait for rescue blindly.
There is a taekwondo school near Lin Shu's school. Lin Mo enrolled him in classes on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
From this semester onwards, Qingyu High School's class schedule has been tightened. Saturdays are full-day, Sundays are half-day in the morning, and there is only one weekend in a month. Han Xun was not around during this period, Lin Mo had to take care of Lin Shu distractedly, and no one imitated his handwriting to help him with his homework, and the time was tight every day. However, this time, Lin Mo did not relax his fitness plan, and still followed the fitness plan formulated by Han Xun methodically, exercising every day. In addition, Lin Shu also gets up early every day to exercise with his brother.
Time passed day by day, and with Lin Mo's company and guidance from time to time, Lin Shu gradually adapted to life in the capital. In school, getting along with classmates gradually became harmonious.
After all, Lin Mo was worried that the matter of Wang Yanyan would cast a shadow on Lin Shu, so he found a rest time and took Lin Shu to see a very powerful psychiatrist. Every time we met, the place was not in the hospital. Lin Shu didn't even know that he had seen a psychiatrist. He just felt that every time he talked with this sister, his mood would be much better. Unknowingly, the hatred towards Wang Yanyan seemed to fade away. Many, not long after, recovered from the gloom during the Chinese New Year to the lively and happy once.
At first, Lin Shu suspected that this elder sister was his brother's girlfriend, but after meeting her, he found out that she was at least ten years older than his brother, so he gave up the idea. Later, the little guy was very curious and asked who Lin Mo's girlfriend was. Lin Mo was pushed by him, so he lied to him that he had broken up. Lin Shu was a little disappointed, and secretly called Han Xun to ask Han Xun. Han Xun ordered Lin Mo to help him lie.
The word "break up" is definitely the last thing Han Xun wants to hear from Lin Mo in his life. Because of this matter, he even had an awkward fight with Lin Mo for two days. Reluctantly agreed.
Han Xun's life in country M is not easy. He has to be busy with his studies, deal with some affairs of the prosperous Tang Dynasty from time to time, pay attention to his other investments, attend various banquets of the upper class to expand his contacts, and return to New York when he is free. To spend time with my family in the city, I can't wait to break one minute into two minutes. However, no matter how hard it is, the thought of returning to Lin Mo's side after all this work makes him feel that no matter how tired he is, it's worth it.
In the blink of an eye, it was mid-March, and under Ye Zhiqiu's supervision, the Medicinal Diet Restaurant had completed the pre-decoration, recruitment, training, and even procurement, and was ready to open at any time.
After the renovation of the Medicinal Diet Hall was completed, Zhang Mo, who had changed his nationality, came back from abroad. Originally, he wanted his mother to continue to live a happy and carefree life abroad, but due to various reasons, his mother wanted to come back with him no matter what. Zhang Mo also knew that his mother did this because she was reluctant to leave him. The capital is a sad place for him, so why not his mother who has been asking for help for many years and has been treated coldly
Zhang Mo is not an ungrateful person. Lin Mo has done so much for him, and he knows it in his heart. From the perspective of a partner, he will not let Lin Mo 'lose money'. Similarly, he is not a hypocritical person. Since Lin Mo gave him the status of a shareholder from the beginning, he would not be so stupid as to ask Lin Mo for help and hide it.
However, Lin Mo was more thoughtful than he thought. Before he returned to China, he prepared a residence for him in advance. The house with two bedrooms and one living room is near the Medicinal Food Restaurant. The community is old, but the environment is quiet and the life is convenient, so it is very suitable for living.
Lin Mo knew Zhang Mo's value very well, and since he was a friend in his previous life, he would not haggle over these little money with him. After arranging for their mother and son to move in, he directly transferred this small house to Zhang Mo. At this point in the matter, Zhang Mo is too lazy to think about Lin Mo's real intentions. Even if Lin Mo really wants to use him for other purposes, he can live well with his mother now, even if he is used, he will be happy .
The Zhang family's medicated diet recipes mainly cover two aspects, one is beauty and beauty, the other is health prolongation, and some are targeted. The reason why medicinal food is so popular is that many people go for its unique and miraculous effects. If we really want to say that the taste is not necessarily good, it often has an unpleasant smell of medicine, and some are even stronger than medicine. Unpalatable, not everyone is used to it.
Zhang Mo's father specialized in medicinal diet, in order to change this situation, and tried his best to transform each medicinal diet recipe so that its effect and deliciousness coexist. After decades of painstaking efforts, he finally succeeded in transforming it, leaving dozens of medicinal diet recipes. Many of Zhang Fu's medicinal recipes are modified from ancient recipes, and their value is no less than that of pioneers in the culinary art world. However, it is a pity that Zhang Mo, who could have carried forward the Zhang family's medicinal food, not only ruined himself, but almost ruined decades of hard work of his father's generation because of a sinful relationship with the Xu family's son.
Now that his lover is dead, after Zhang Mo's long torture, there are only two things that he can't let go of, one is revenge, and the other is to fulfill his father's wish and carry forward the Zhang family's medicinal diet.
Revenge cannot be accomplished overnight, what Zhang Mo can do now is to promote the medicinal diet.
Zhang Mo has not been idle these days abroad. After recovering almost, he began to use the cash Lin Mo left him to find ways to buy various medicinal materials and ingredients for practice. He hasn't touched the kitchen for so long, and his cooking skills are much unfamiliar. Fortunately, he has found the feeling he used to have before returning to China, but he is still far from his peak state. On the one hand, the time is too short, and on the other hand, the physical strength is not enough to keep up.
Cooking is a very labor-intensive job. If a chef does not have good physical strength, he will not be able to work hard for a long time in an environment of high temperature, high humidity, and heavy oily smoke.
Fortunately, Zhang Mo is still young, and he is also very good at taking care of himself. It has only been a few months since I saw him. The deep wrinkles on his face earlier have disappeared a lot, and the newly grown hair is also black. After a period of precipitation and It is only a matter of time before he accumulates, recovers and even surpasses his former peak state.
After Zhang Mo returned to China and settled down, Lin Mo invited him and Ye Zhiqiu together for a small meeting in the new office of the Medicinal Food Hall.
The Zhang family has a lot of medicinal recipes, and Lin Mo has been thinking about how to maximize the benefits these days. From the perspective of the market, if a product wants to quickly open up the situation, it must have a refreshing feeling; however, when the freshness passes, it needs to be able to withstand the test if it wants to retain customers. Medicinal diet and traditional Chinese medicine have developed from the same origin. Even Chinese medicine itself is known for its slow effect. How can the effect of medicinal diet be faster than that of traditional Chinese medicine? What's more, taking medicine is because of illness, and you must take it several times a day according to the doctor's instructions. How many people can take medicine every day
Prolonging health is a long process, and people are always aging day by day no matter what, it is not only slow but also difficult to see significant effects on this. But beauty and beauty are different. Whether a person looks good, whether there are more or less wrinkles on the face, fat or thin, whether the hair is more or less, white or dark, etc., are often clear at a glance. After all, no matter how good the cosmetics are, they can't cover up the traces of time. Longevity and health maintenance are often considered by people who are entering old age, but beauty and beauty cannot be ignored by women of every age group. From the perspective of customer base, the latter is undoubtedly much larger. Moreover, the shrewd Jews also said that women and children's money is the best earned.
The noble ladies in the capital spend a lot of time and money on beauty treatments every day. For the sake of beauty, they even ignore their own health. When health and beauty can be naturally combined from the inside out, Lin Mo doesn't believe that these women are reluctant to spend a lot of money. Compared with their husbands, these noble ladies have more free time, and they are more willing to communicate these small details in life, which can easily form an effect of spreading the word.
"...After my investigation, there are almost no such purely private dishes for female customers in the capital. I think Xiao Lin's plan is very feasible." Ye Zhiqiu listened to Lin Mo's analysis, the more he felt that the plan was feasible. She didn't know if the beauty prescriptions that Lin Mo had told her were Zhang Mo's medicinal prescriptions, but one thing she could be sure of was that these prescriptions were indeed effective, and it didn't take too long to take effect.
Zhang Mo has no talent in business, he said lazily: "Anyway, I follow the boss's arrangement."
"The Medicinal Diet Restaurant only accepts 20 tables of guests every day. Are you busy enough to come here?" The location of the Medicinal Diet Restaurant is located in a large courtyard with three entrances. It is beautiful, and in terms of the environment alone, it will definitely make people linger and forget to return. In such an environment, if you invite two or three girlfriends to taste the ancient herbal cuisine leisurely, no matter how many troubles you have, you will be temporarily forgotten.
Zhang Molue thought for a while, and said, "Let's come to ten tables first. After I fully recover, I will bring the newcomers and then slowly add more." Special processing is required, and the preparation in the early stage is time-consuming, but the subsequent processing is not too laborious.
Lin Mo nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as you said."
Next, everyone discussed the price positioning, membership system, management system and other details.
Ye Zhiqiu and Zhang Mo seized the time and prepared everything necessary for the opening separately.
Lin Mo ordered the Herbal Cuisine Restaurant to take the "boutique" route. The cheapest dishes on the menu are not less than three hundred, and the per capita minimum consumption is more than two thousand. In this era, only the noble ladies can afford it . Following this "boutique" route, it is doomed that the Medicinal Restaurant cannot advertise on TV or distribute leaflets all over the street like a hot pot restaurant. What is needed is someone in the circle of ladies to match up and spread word of mouth.
This area happened to be Lin Mo's shortcoming.
However, people in the Beijing circle are more informed than the other. Who doesn't know that Han Xun and Han Xiaoshen have a cousin who is on the cusp of his heart? Although Lin Mo was usually busy with his studies and rarely had contact with people in Han Xun's circle, it didn't mean that these people didn't pay attention to him secretly. There was a lot of news about Lin Mo's opening of the Medicinal Diet Restaurant, and Han Xun also helped him promote it by the way. Now that it is about to open, can everyone support it
Many people made overseas calls to Han Xun's place. After saying hello to the restaurant that only caters to female customers, they told their mothers, wives, sisters and daughters that they must go to the restaurant on the opening day. These women feel fresh when they hear the beauty medicinal diet, and they are happy to invite friends to try it out.
On the opening day, if Ye Zhiqiu and Zhang Mo hadn't prepared well enough, there would be almost no room in the private room in the courtyard.
Because it is a medicinal diet, I am afraid that certain medicinal materials will violate the taboos of the guests. Each dish is combined with pictures and texts to indicate the ingredients and medicinal materials used and their effects. The well-trained waiters will also tell the female customers intimately after ordering the dishes. Which dishes may be incompatible, and at the same time recommend dishes that work better together. In order to better serve consumers, these waiters are all top medical students who have a certain medical background and are carefully hired by Ye Zhiqiu. Through systematic training and careful selection, they can judge the possible physical problems of the guests through observation, and recommend more suitable dishes for them.
After the dishes are on the table, just looking at the exquisite presentation makes people feel comfortable and eye-catching; the dishes are fragrant, and some dishes have no smell of medicine at all, and the dishes with the strongest smell of medicine are just right, and will not make people feel pungent; Tasting it again, the taste was much better than what I expected, not at all inferior to the delicacies in those high-end clubs and private restaurants.
Gradually, some noble ladies who love delicious food became regular customers here. Slowly, after eating the medicinal diet day after day, some people found that the Feiyan soup they ate seemed to be working, and their waists seemed to be thinner; It seems that the effect is good, the skin is white and tender; the yam and cordyceps soup not only tastes good, but also removes the yellow gas on the face; Fangfei Huanian seems to have an effect, and the wrinkles on the face seem to be lighter than before. ;Qing Si Ru Dai really deserves her reputation, the newly grown hair seems to be really not white...
A few months have passed, and almost everyone in the circle of ladies in the capital knows the name of the Zhangjia Herbal Cuisine Restaurant.
That's right, Lin Mo directly named the newly opened medicated restaurant with the surname of 'Zhang'. On the day of opening, when the red cloth on the plaque was removed, Zhang Mo looked at the vigorous and powerful ancient characters on the plaque, and burst into tears. flow all over the face. Fortunately, Lin Mo helped him realize his father's dream. Otherwise, what face should he use to meet his father who was so mad at him
There is no need to say more words of gratitude, Zhang Mo silently swears in his heart that he will never betray Lin Mo in this life. At this moment, he no longer just regards Lin Mo as the boss, but puts him in the position of a friend.
From the beginning, the Herbal Cuisine Restaurant accepts no more than 40 guests per day for 10 tables, and now has no more than 80 guests per day for 20 tables. The consumption of medicated food restaurants is unattainable in the eyes of ordinary people, but there are many people who can afford it. The Zhangjia Herbal Restaurant has gradually become a new distribution center for the noble ladies. There are more people coming to the door, and occasionally there will be a situation of "enemies are extremely jealous when they meet each other". Most of the people who can make a lady who doesn't care much hate her are mistresses. The medicated restaurant is full of reservations now. Lin Mo simply waved his hand and asked Ye Zhiqiu to tell the guests that the medicated restaurant will only accept original partners in the future. What a mess Yingying Yanyan come here less!
As soon as this rule of hospitality was introduced, the Medicinal Diet Restaurant was upgraded to a new level instantly, and received unanimous praise from the original wives. Although men like the red flags at home to not fall down and the colorful flags fluttering outside, but if they really have brains, they will not do the stupid thing of exchanging colorful flags for red flags. After all, everything can be prosperous if a family is harmonious, right? All my thoughts are spent fighting with the old wife and children at home. How can the family prosper for a long time? How many men are willing to do long-term business or form a long-term political alliance with a man who can even throw away his wretched wife? It's not easy for Xiaosan to want to be in the top position. The more self-reliant the family is, the more they pay attention to these so-called 'etiquette', even if they pretend to be like that.
Lin Mo's trick really won the hearts of these original partners. Soon, in addition to meals, the Medicinal Restaurant also launched afternoon tea. These ladies gathered together to enjoy flowers, chat and exchange various experiences, and each expanded their network of contacts. .
After spending time here for a long time, eating more medicinal food, many people's health has really improved. Some people became slim, some became beautiful, some became young, and even a lady who had been married for nearly twenty years and had no children was miraculously pregnant with an old man, so excited that her imitation of her husband was almost crazy …
The medicated diet here is so amazing, Lin Mo is also happy to make a lot of money.
Half a year passed in a blink of an eye, Han Xun had been abroad all this time, Lin Mo had to be busy with schoolwork, take care of Lin Shu, and care about the operation of the herbal restaurant from time to time, so he was so busy. During this period, Chen Junxi came to the school to block Lin Mo three times. I don't know if he saw that Lin Mo really didn't have the intention to deal with him, or he was 'frozen' by his cold attitude, or for some other reason, Lin Mo kept going. After refusal, never came again. Lin Mo thought about it for a long time, and finally told Han Xun about it. He felt that it was really not easy for him and Han Xun to come to the present. It would be bad if unnecessary misunderstandings were caused by some trivial matters.
After Han Xun found out, he was calmer than Lin Mo imagined. As for whether he was still so calm after putting down the phone, Lin Mo didn't know and couldn't care.
"Lin Xiaomo, I still have something to do here. I can't go to country Z for the time being. Why don't you come over to play with Lin Shu during the summer vacation. My mother and my father both want to see you. Alan can talk now, but it's funny. He used to like to cling to you so much, he might have forgotten you if you don't come here again." Now that Han Xun is with his mother, he can only talk about the ignorant and innocent little Alan.
Lin Mo chuckled and said, "He is so young, where did he get such memories?"
Han Xun was out of breath, and secretly scolded Lin Xiaomo for being cunning in his heart, knowing what he meant and deliberately pretending not to understand, it was disgusting.
"In a word, can't you make it through?"
"I want to go back to County L with Xiaoshu to see grandma, let's talk about it then."
"No matter, I'll take it as your promise."
"..." Lin Mo listened silently to the busy tone from the other end of the phone, but he was seriously considering whether to go to country M or not. After being separated for so long, he also missed Han Xiaoren's annoying face.
The school is already on holiday, and Lin Mo is only waiting to get the notice, but Lin Shu is still in the last few days of Mathematical Olympiad class. At noon this day, Lin Mo was watching the time to pick Lin Shu home, and met a man at the school gate. unexpected people.
