Chapter 140: February 1999 Tianguang Light

February 1999 Tianguang

Our family restaurant started with the concerted efforts of my parents and three employees of the company.

Everyone is a novice without any experience. From handling qualification certificates, recruiting chefs and waiters, to customizing menus, and determining the purchase channels of ingredients, they all negotiate and arrange, and I am responsible for paying.

The progress is a little slow, but I am not in a hurry. I dawdled until New Year's Day to reluctantly get all the materials and start the decoration. After more than half of the decoration was completed in February, I chose a good day and auspicious day for the opening ceremony.

Our restaurant is called "Cain's Light Home Cooking", with two floors up and down, more than 400 square meters, located on the main street, focusing on light and refreshing dishes with less oil, less salt, less spicy, and two 16-course dishes for the first time. Soup, the menu price is relatively close to the people, and the per capita consumption is 8 yuan.

Originally, I wanted to promote it under the name of medicated diet, that is to say, I was pure health care, not treating diseases. My mother disagreed. She said that was not a lie?

I don't think it's a problem, I just want to deceive people with photos. Adding the word "medicine" can easily double the price of dishes. Moreover, our dishes are really delicious, and we also add condiments, which are harmful to the human body. There are benefits.

My mother didn't want her son to be a sensationalist, so the guise of "medicated food" was useless, so she obediently opened a bland home-style restaurant.

Our ingredients, fruits, vegetables, and meat are all fresh, and things like "rice, noodles, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea" are brought to the other side of the world and then brought back for double-strengthening. The enhancement of taste and quality is immediate. .

The level of the three chefs in our restaurant is actually average. The advantage is that the foundation is relatively solid. There is no ambiguity in the shredding and filling. The cooking is done step by step. There is no flash point, but the performance is very stable. Nature is also satisfying.

The core competitiveness of our restaurant, apart from the delicious taste, is "therapeutic medicine".

The original plan was to add it to all dishes and soups, but my parents said that the chef would definitely disagree. After all, the potion of Lu Yingying looks weird and has no special taste. If you have to add it to the dish, you have to doubt whether it is right or not. something wrong.

So now the therapeutic medicines are made into ginseng soup, and everyone who comes to eat takes a cup, not only for sale, no refills, and no takeout.

Come to my house for dinner, after you sit down and order the dishes, the waiter will bring a cup of ginseng soup before serving, you have to drink it with a mouthful, and then start eating.

This is a small rule in this restaurant. The ginseng soup is very light, and if you drink too much, you will not get angry. It has a light sweet taste. It is warm in winter. In summer, it will be paired with white fungus to make a cold drink. It is equivalent to a small bite of dessert, no one will be bored enough to refuse.

And the ginseng soup is not innumerable, there are only 200 cups every day, and it will be gone after giving away, so you can change to another soup.

This mouthful of ginseng soup is one-fifth of a bottle of healing medicine, and it is an enhanced type that I have taken to Shimen at least twice. At present, it is certain that the body will feel warm and comfortable after drinking this soup. A small amount accelerates the healing of wounds, reduces the possibility of scarring, and can effectively relieve the original symptoms of the body.

Of course, if you don't say it, ordinary people will not notice such details. At most, they will feel that they will have more appetite to eat after drinking soup, and they will go home and sleep soundly.

No one in our family is expected to do business, but the shop is quite prosperous after throwing in the money. The restaurant, which has spent more than 200,000 yuan for decoration, has a clean and elegant environment, and offers a 20% discount on the opening ceremony meals, which has attracted many early adopters.

The problem of giving customers a cup of soup in the restaurant makes some customers uncomfortable, but there are also people who know the goods. I tasted that there was Codonopsis black chicken in the soup, and the taste was very mellow. They said that this cup of soup was worth the money of a dish, praised The restaurant owner is arrogant.

I poured about 400 cups of soup on the first day of opening. The delicious and light dishes in the restaurant have won the praise of the guests. The plum candy in the small porcelain box on the table after the meal also tasted wonderful. Many customers asked if they could pay for the plum candy in our house. The sweet and sour taste is so fragrant that people can't stop drooling just thinking about it.

I definitely don’t sell the fortified food. My parents control the fortified food, and the soup and drink are also made by them. These are the foundation of the restaurant’s life. Of course, they are very concerned about it.

The restaurant was booming, my parents didn’t get too involved, and they didn’t have to work. In addition to standing on the platform in the restaurant every day to preside over the overall situation,

wine in ordinary restaurants is also an important source of income, but our restaurant doesn’t sell wine. It's not that I can't take the wine through Shimen to strengthen it. In fact, after the white wine and red wine are strengthened, the taste will be more mellow, and the wine has a strong aroma, which makes people who don't drink want to smell it more. Our restaurant does not sell wine mainly because we hope that our guests will feel better after eating. Wine is not a good thing after all, and we do not lack that little money.

The price of all dishes in this restaurant will increase by 20% every year. For example, this year's 12 dishes of stewed beef brisket with potatoes will cost 14.4 yuan in 2000, 17.1 yuan in 2001, 20.5 yuan in 2002, and so on, of course. , While the price of dishes increases year by year, we will also launch new dishes. The prices of new dishes are relatively cheap and cost-effective, and they are very close to the people.

This design is to hope that after we cultivate stable customers in the early stage, customers can grow with us and increase our profits.

Of course, these are just imaginations for the future. No one knows how the restaurant will operate in the future.

My "Cain Venture Capital Co., Ltd." has also gotten a lot of exercise after opening a restaurant this time, and three hard-working "rent collectors" and "retail investors" and "gold investment latecomers" also got a lot of training. Good experience, ready to invest more energy in their current favorite real estate.

In order to show the prosperity of our company and to show support for their work, I promised them to wait until the graduation season this year to recruit a front desk girl in the company to adjust the balance of yin and yang in the company.

The three single employees are naturally very happy and have a lot of motivation to work.

My parents run to restaurants all day, and they can take my sister to other places in their spare time. Aunt Huang keeps the house organized and I feel very comfortable when I go back.

Originally, I thought about tearing down and rebuilding this old-style house, but my parents thought it was too troublesome. After all, the island in the opposite world is enough for us to toss, and we have to consider moving furniture and relocating the basement when the house is rebuilt. There are many problems such as the manticore and the lion, and I have no energy when I think about it.

Now it's good. The main structure of the house has been reinforced with my ability. All the glass is reinforced crystal with high transparency. The original stairs, corridors and other places where the carpets and curtains are worn and worn have been gradually replaced. Old furniture has been thrown away, the garden is brought to life with constant care, and the yard is now exuding a youthful vibe it never had before.

My side is very good, and Liang Jiangbo's side is not bad.

Yin Qing has not returned to the dormitory for almost a month since the end of this semester. During the holidays, she packed her things and moved to the apartment on the Bund, and started living together with Liang Jiangbo.

My original room has been completely emptied by me, and there is no trace of me in that house.

As for living expenses, of course, we still continue to give Liang Jiangbo regular calls to the card. My money is his money.

Liang Jiangbo's family came to Shanghai again this winter vacation to see their future in-laws. The two families got along very well. Liang Jiangbo's family was looking for a house for him in Shanghai. , Liang Jiangbo fell in love with his family and couldn't afford it, and Liang Jiangbo was often reprimanded by his family for being shrewd.

Before my mother gave birth to my sister Caiyi, Liang Jiangbo was my only brother. I will definitely not let him feel wronged. I have already thought about it. When he graduated, the mansion in Jinyang Building belonged to him. He could In everyone's envious eyes, Feng Fengguang married Yin Qing into the house. Of course, he had to write a notarization. The house could only be his own pre-marital property. If Yin Qing divorced him, it could not be divided.

Ahaha, I'm just cranky, those two get along really well, I'm sure they'll go on sweetly.

February 16th is the Spring Festival. I hugged my sister and made dumplings for the New Year's Eve dinner. The little girl spoke very neatly. She softly called her brother very cute, and even pouted and blew kisses.

With the lively city as the background, the Spring Festival in our family is a little unfestive. Even if the family is sitting in front of the TV watching the Spring Festival Gala, there is still something missing.

I know, I know that my parents miss the lively days of visiting relatives during the first lunar month in the county town.

The two of them have adapted to life in Shanghai very well. They have their own prosperous restaurants, successful careers, and their sons and daughters are smart, but these things cannot fill other gaps.

My mother occasionally calls back to chat with her brothers and sisters. She feels more and more that the world is divided. Her sisters and my uncle are still living the same life in the small county town full of wind and sand in the northwest. They even imagined I can't imagine what kind of life my mother is living now.

My dad, the "puppies" of my brothers and sisters, he misses his family very much, just as he always said, "Break the bones and connect the tendons", we have traveled most of China, the stubborn The tendons were not torn off. My dad would still contact his brothers and sisters in private, listen to them crying on the phone, and then go to the bank to call the money and get a little self-motivated.

My mother and I have always been aware of what my father did, but I never stopped. I also encouraged my mother to help relatives in my hometown and supported them a lot.

Our family is not short of small money, and the three or two thousand they send back is just a drizzle compared to the monthly money I send to Liang Jiangbo.

Sometimes I think hilariously, I am worthy of my dad's kind, my dad is his brother and sister's puppy, if you have money, you always hope that your brother and sister can spend it, don't be hard, I myself treat my buddy Liang Jiangbo He is also loyal and loyal, even after he has moved out of the apartment, he has not given Liang Jiangbo 30,000 yuan of pocket money every month, which is much less than before.

Maybe that's the weirdness of fate, that we end up being the people we hated the most in the first place.

I discussed Liang Jiangbo's living expenses with him long ago. What he meant was that I don't need to pay him any more money. The living expenses from his own family are enough, but I can't bear that he has to look at the label and put it back when he sees a piece of clothing. In embarrassment, I went back and forth between the two worlds, pouring gold and starting a company, so that I and my family would stop looking at labels.

It is natural for him to be self-reliant after he graduates. Before that, he should study hard and enjoy his university life well. There is only one university in his life, and I want to leave him with good memories.

School reopened in late February, and apart from my schoolwork, I had to find time to learn dance, rhythmic gymnastics, vocal music, and wrestling.

These are all preparations for the two-year preparatory study in the opposite world. To describe the progress of this world, I may be equivalent to parachuting into the second-year high school students as an illiterate person, studying with them and participating in the assessment.

The moment I make up my mind to participate in the study with a solid foundation and strength means that I sincerely want to embrace and integrate into the Cylencia Empire. That is my identity in the opposite world. I hope I can do it. most.

All my subjects are progressing very fast with my extra effort.

Faith subjects require reading the scriptures, so I read them with heart, recite hymns, and sing choruses. I am also good at it. I am no dumber than them. Now I can sing the "Divine Comedy" in fluent Greek, and I have mastered it. My first large-scale set, "Praise of Heroes", I mastered the hymn "Darkness Protects Me" in one month, and even my teacher was amazed by my talent.

But not enough, far from enough.
