Chapter 410 Twelve
The Jiangji branch is right at Tianxing Plaza!
The storefront was rented from Jiang Han’s biological father, Jiang Guohui, and Jiang Fuyue was also present when the contract was signed.
The decoration is almost complete and it is expected to be officially opened in two months.
It is still in the promotion stage. After joining the company, Cao Dou not only helps out in the store like Mrs. Liu, but also works part-time in online marketing for the "Jiang Ji" brand.
Not only did he register and authenticate his own Weibo account, he also applied to become the host of the #江记煎冰# super topic, and broadcast related videos of the popular CP Jiang Da and Han Yunru on a regular basis every day.
Sometimes the couple is preparing food in the kitchen, sometimes they are arguing, and sometimes they are just sitting together and having lunch even if nothing is happening.
The ordinary and touching moments of this middle-aged couple are captured one by one by Cao Dou with his camera.
Seeing that he was doing a good job, Jiang Fuyue simply let Wu Qian take charge. It was obvious that the latter was more professional in online marketing and self-media packaging.
Cao Dou also seized the opportunity and studied hard.
After a period of time, it can be said that it has been reborn. Not only are the films of higher quality, but the editing has also become smoother and more interesting.
In short, Cao Dou stayed here steadily and was secretly preparing to make a big move.
The first battle is the opening of the branch. He has been preparing for it recently and has worked very hard.
Back to the present, as soon as Jiang Han mentioned Tianxing Plaza, Jiang Fuyue keenly sensed that something was wrong.
really--
Jiang Han: "That group of people came to my dad, and I was eavesdropping nearby. They actually wanted to open a pancake shop too. Isn't that a coincidence?"
Jiang Fuyue's eyes darkened.
"Furthermore, they only want the store in Tianxing Plaza, saying there's no upstairs or downstairs. The more spacious ground floor is also acceptable. There are so many other options around, but they're refusing to accept it. I'm starting to wonder if they're deliberately trying to challenge Jiang Ji..."
You hit the nail on the head!
Jiang Fuyue: "Do you know where he is from?"
Jiang Han: "It seems to be from F City. The accent is very strange."
F City... selling pancakes...
Then there is only——
Cao Ji!
In the evening, when Jiang Da and Han Yunru came back, Jiang Fuyue told them about this.
Han Yunru frowned and muttered softly, "What on earth do they want to do over there?"
Jiang Da could guess: "The three fat men left together, probably because they angered the other party."
Not wanting Yu Shangmei was one thing, but leaving on her own initiative was another.
"How could she do this?" Han Yunru was shocked and angry.
Isn't this a typical example of "I can dump you, but you can't cheat on me" double standard?
Jiang Da: "No matter what they want to do, we are upright and have nothing to fear!"
Jiang Fuyue raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but look at her father.
This excited little expression of gritting teeth may not indicate that he has the intention to fight back. It seems that the woman surnamed Yu did a lot of bad things back then and forced the honest man to this point. She still holds a grudge after decades.
"But...Cao's Pancakes are the authentic ones. I'm worried that if we face them head-on, we'll be at a disadvantage."
Han Yunru's concerns are not unreasonable. If two stores of the same type are opened in the same place, no matter how hard they try, the flow of customers will be dispersed.
In fact, it is a lose-lose approach.
Smart people generally don't do this.
Maybe Cao Ji is rich, or maybe he is simply spending some money to disgust people and doesn't care whether the business is good or not.
But Jiang Ji cannot be so casual. Jiang Da and Han Yunru know very well how much time and effort this branch has spent and how much initial cost has been invested.
They are reluctant to use the children they have carefully nurtured to confront those stubborn fools outside.
Han Yunru: "Since we know the news in advance, we have to do something, right?"
Jiang Da fell into deep thought.
Jiang Fuyue thought for a moment and said, "Why not try a different approach? Sell something else?"
Han Yunru's eyes lit up, and it was obvious that she and her daughter had the same idea: "I think it's feasible."
Only Jiang Da was still out of his mind, not knowing what the mother and daughter were talking about.
"Ah? What's the change?"
Han Yunru: "Don't you like researching dishes? How about opening a private restaurant?"
"Is this... possible?"
"Why not? The food you cook tastes pretty good. The kids working in the store rave about it after trying it once."
"But I'm just figuring it out, in my wildest way."
Jiang Fuyue: "Weren't these dishes originally invented by other chefs?"
Jiang Xiaodi nodded: "Dad's cooking is much better than mine!"
Jiang Da suddenly felt confident. "Actually, I learned Cao's cuisine from my master for a while, but when the restaurant failed, he never touched those dishes again and focused solely on making pancakes. If we really open a branch restaurant with private cuisine, we definitely can't use the ones he taught us..."
Han Yunru: "Are the dishes you usually cook from the Cao family recipe?"
Jiang Da shook his head, of course not.
He had made up his mind to stop eating Cao Ji back then and didn't even want to hear the word "Cao Ji". How could he possibly use the food in that recipe book?
Han Yunru breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
"?"
"What you know now is enough."
Jiang Fuyue: "Dad loves coming up with new dishes, doesn't he? Let's come up with an original and unique one, one that we can only find here!"
Jiang Daguang couldn't help but feel overwhelmed when he heard this.
We did it right away. Since the approach had changed, the decoration style also had to be changed. This was left to Han Yunru, who always had a good aesthetic sense, to communicate.
When Cao Dou heard that they were going to make a private dish, his eyes lit up with joy.
"This should have been done a long time ago. Pancakes and sweet soup are too simple. Cooking is better. It has a bright future! Once we become famous, maybe Senior Brother will even be invited to participate in the National Cooking Championship."
"And those adorable little ones online who are waiting to be fed, if the blood letter finally works, they'll probably be screaming with joy."
"I need to figure out how to write the promotional material first, then plan a few short videos. Oh, and also arrange a live broadcast! It would be best if we could get it on a local TV station's food program. Who's worried this coverage wouldn't be well-known?"
After studying with Wu Qian some time ago, he is obviously more professional and has shown strong leadership and planning abilities.
Very thoughtful.
Han Yunru let him do it.
As for Jiang Da, in addition to opening the shop as usual every day, he would rush into the kitchen as soon as he got home in the evening, and the aroma could still be wafting out at around 1 a.m.
Jiang Xiaodi was so greedy that he couldn't sleep well. He followed his father like a puppy, wagging his tail and wanting to have a taste.
The next morning, the brother and sister woke up and went downstairs. Jiang Da was already busy in the kitchen.
The fragrance was everywhere.
Han Yunru sighed softly: "I don't know where such great energy comes from?"
Jiang Da responded with a silly smile and waved: "Wife, come and try it..."
For several consecutive days, Han Yunru and her brother Jiang Fuyue became "happy guinea pigs".
Every day, a variety of unique dishes were prepared and eaten by the mother, daughter, and son under Jiang Da's expectant and excited gaze.
Jiang Fuyue could see that Jiang Da really loved cooking, which was why he was so enthusiastic and tireless.
The research and development of new dishes lasted for a long time. Later, when the whole family except Jiang Xiaodi continued to support it, Han Yunru and Jiang Fuyue refused to eat more because they were worried about their weight.
Wu Qian and his two assistants were in for a treat. In just half a month, their faces had gained noticeable weight and their old belts had been replaced with new ones.
Especially Wu Qian, he stayed up late, had an irregular schedule, and liked to overeat when he was in a bad mood. In the end, he became visibly bloated.
He almost peed himself when he looked in the mirror.
After that, he also started to control his mouth.
In this way, Jiang Xiaodi became Jiang Da's only loyal fan. He would eat whatever his father cooked, and he would eat it in front of netizens, proving with practical actions how delicious his father's cooking was.
Nowadays, most netizens only know that the couple who run the internet-famous pancake shop have a genius daughter, but they don’t know that they also have a gluttonous son who is a super food blogger.
Therefore, fans don’t know that these dishes are from Jiang Da’s hand, but they are still full of emotion——
“A man who can cook is the manliest.”
"Is Xingxing's father a chef?"
"I don't know if he's a great chef, but I know that Daddy Xingxing definitely loves his mom very much."
"I can smell the fragrance through the screen."
"What are these dishes called? They look really good."
"I'm also wondering what that green and yellow soup is. How can two colors be mixed together without mixing?"
…
Although Jiang Xiaodi can eat a lot, he is not a bottomless pit. Jiang Da cooked a lot of dishes but no one ate them, and he was very worried.
Later, I don’t know whose advice I took, but I started giving it to my neighbors in the community to taste.
He put it in a small box and sealed it with plastic wrap. It looked clean and hygienic, and many people were willing to accept it.
After eating, they actually came to his door the next day and asked him if he opened a restaurant and which restaurant it was, and they wanted to eat there again.
Jiang Da quickly took out the new store's business cards and gave one to each person.
When Cao Dou started this, he thought it would take some time before it could be used. He didn't expect it to start now, and it was a group of very high-quality potential customers. He couldn't help but give Jiang Da a thumbs up.
"Big Brother is still the best!"
He is a chef himself, so of course he knows the level of Jiang Da's cooking skills and can fully predict how popular the new store will be after it opens.
However, the resignation of Kim Jong-un has been delayed and has not been completed, which has become a source of worry.
Jiang Xiaodi: "Sister, are you going out again?"
Jiang Fuyue touched his head and took off his baseball cap: "Yeah."
Soon, a figure in black disappeared into the night...
