A month later.
[Xichuan Restaurant] Shanghai store opened grandly, and Du Shaojie and Meng Gang both made a special trip to attend the opening ceremony.
This is the sixth store of [Xichuan Restaurant] in the country. The main purpose of choosing this oriental metropolis is to expand its influence. Of course, the traffic and consumption level of Shanghai itself will also bring tangible benefits.
The premise is that it can be recognized by the majority of consumers.
The manager of this store is Wu Xueqing, who was recruited locally. At the age of 30, she has rich experience in catering management.
Zhou Huai'en is the temporary head chef. Other chefs include special chefs recruited in Rongcheng, students who have emerged from the chef school, and old employees who have followed Du Shaojie since Xijiang.
The characteristics of these people are diligence and studious, and superb skills.
After the restaurant opened, Du Shaojie did not leave immediately.
He has a habit of walking around and taking a look at every place he goes to, to see the local customs and taste the local specialties.
At the same time, in this process, he also plans to find a house.
At this time, there is not much room for him to choose. The real estate market is still in its infancy, and the supporting facilities of some communities are not perfect. There are some "old western-style buildings" that are similar to villas, with large areas and spacious living space.
However, since they are "old western-style buildings", they will have problems such as disrepair, and they are not as good as she imagined.
"Mr. Du, it would be better if we drove here. My legs are almost broken these days."
This time, Wang Yongli came to Shanghai with Du Shaojie.
Because Du Shaojie found that the other party was not only a superb driver, but also very smart. It is indeed a lot less trouble to have such a person by your side when you go out.
"Yes, but I have seen enough. I think the western-style house in Changning is good. If I can't find a better one, I will buy it."
Du Shaojie simply didn't run away. After looking at two houses nearby, he decisively decided on the house in Changning.
That house is a typical "old western-style house", a two-story building with an attic above the second floor. This house has a total of five bedrooms, a super large balcony on the second floor, and a total area of over 400 square meters.
The whole building looks shabby and must be renovated if it is to be lived in.
The owner asked for 580,000 yuan, which was a bit high, but compared with the small houses of about 20 or 30 square meters, this house was obviously more practical.
After a few days of bargaining, Du Shaojie finally won the "old house" for 550,000 yuan. However, this house is now completely uninhabitable and must be "renovated".
"Xiao Wang, tomorrow we will have to work on the renovation and renovation of the house. Do you know anything about this?"
After Du Shaojie planned to find a design and construction unit, he asked Wang Yonglin to stay and watch.
He planned to go to Jinling to see Xiaoya.
"I know a little bit, and it's no problem to watch them work."
Wang Yongli knew a lot and immediately said that he would supervise the entire renovation and decoration project.
Du Shaojie nodded, then first found a design unit to come up with a plan, and then determined a construction unit, and started construction in a few days.
During this period, the business of [Xichuan Restaurant] Magic City Store has improved significantly.
After so many years of accumulation, chain operation has become a very mature model, and all aspects of management have been institutionalized. The new store basically only needs to replicate.
Including each dish has specific operating specifications, which is actually a valuable intangible asset.
Du Shaojie observed for a while and felt that there was no problem with the new store, so he set off for Jinling. Xiaoya was too far away from him, and he couldn't take care of her most of the time, so he was a little worried.
As a result, when he saw Xiaoya at school, he found that his little sister was living a very comfortable life.
Compared with her sister, Du Xiaoya is better, not only in terms of academic performance, but also in terms of interpersonal relationships. She is a very popular beautiful cadre in the student union.
"Brother, you finally came to see me."
Although Xiaoya is a big girl, she is still as close to her brother as before.
She took her brother's hand and walked on the campus without caring, attracting countless envious and jealous eyes.
"You, you are still not in shape at such a big age. Tell me, what do you want to eat, I'll take you to a restaurant."
Du Shaojie smiled and patted Xiaoya on the forehead, then walked out of the school.
Xiaoya thought about it, and then suggested going to eat hot pot.
Du Shaojie did not object. He asked the other party, and then went to a hot pot restaurant that was a little bit upscale.
Xiaoya naturally would not be polite to her brother. She ordered a table of dishes and then began to eat to her heart's content.
Her monthly living expenses are actually not small, but girls love to be beautiful, and most of the money is spent on dressing themselves up. How
dare she spend so recklessly like today when she goes out on weekdays? Du Shaojie suddenly felt guilty when he saw it, and thought, is it because Xiaoya's monthly living expenses are not enough, otherwise why would she be so greedy?
So he decided to give her more money starting from next semester.
Xiaoya doesn't know what her brother is thinking. If she knew, wouldn't she be so happy?
After dinner, the two walked around the street, and then Du Shaojie sent Xiaoya back to school.
The two agreed to meet again on the weekend. Du Shaojie is going to explore delicious food these days, and he may not even stay in the city, but may go to other places around.
"Okay, brother, see you this weekend. But you have to treat me and my best classmates to a meal then."
"Got it, come in quickly."
Du Shaojie stood outside the school gate, waved, and watched Xiaoya walk into the school.
Then, he returned to the hotel.
The next day.
He got up early in the morning, had breakfast outside, and then went to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.
Jinling is a place with rich cultural heritage, and there are many places worth seeing. These few days, she plans to travel and explore delicious food. In his previous life, he was bent over by car loans, mortgages, etc., and he wanted to live a more relaxed life in this life.
Facts have proved that traveling is really stress-relieving, and the mood is also particularly good.
After wandering outside for two days alone, it was the day off.
Du Shaojie booked a table at the famous [Jiangsu Restaurant]. Xiaoya said that she wanted to treat her good classmates to dinner, and he estimated that there would be at least four or five people.
As a result, when he went to pick up Xiaoya in the morning, he saw a large group of girls, including his sister, a total of 8 people.
It seems that his sister is very popular in school. He smiled and greeted everyone, and then went to take the bus together.
It is a bit far from here to [Jiangsu Restaurant], so we need to leave early.
"Xiaoya, what does your brother do? He is so generous to treat us to a big meal."
Xiaoya's classmates were full of curiosity about Du Shaojie. [Jiangsu Restaurant] is very famous in Jinling, with many chefs, and the consumption level is naturally not low.
Xiaoya smiled and did not satisfy their curiosity. She decided to let her brother introduce himself when it was time to eat.
When they arrived at the place, it was almost time for dinner. Du Shaojie led a group of youthful girls and walked directly into the reserved private room.
"The dishes have been ordered. Do you want to see if there is anything you need to add?"
Du Shaojie did not hesitate to be polite with the group of girls. He ordered the dishes directly and then asked symbolically.
"No, no, brother, just order it."
The girls were shy and embarrassed to add more dishes.
In fact, Du Shaojie ordered a lot, almost covering the signature dishes of this restaurant. 2 cold dishes, 10 hot dishes (including soup), a total of 12 dishes, should be enough.
Later, the dishes began to be served.
When a dish of [Fried Eel with Oil] came up, Du Shaojie couldn't help but feel his eyes brightened. This is a dish with yellow eel as the main ingredient. As soon as it was served, a fragrance came to his face.
"Xiao Ya, invite the classmates to eat, don't be polite, and make sure to eat well."
Du Shaojie smiled and said to everyone, and then tasted the [Fried Eel with Oil].
The eel meat is smooth and tender, without the smell of earth, and the pepper flavor is strong, which makes people have endless aftertaste. He felt that the level of this restaurant is quite high. Just from this one dish, you can see that the chef's skills are extraordinary.
"Brother, this [Salt Duck] is delicious."
Xiaoya and her classmates ate very happily. Today's dishes are all exquisite, which makes these girls who eat in the cafeteria all day long have a feast.
In addition to [Fried Eel with Oil], another cold dish [Salt Duck] is also very well made. If Du Shaojie is asked to score, the scores of these two dishes are above 90 points.
The other dishes are also well made, but they are not so amazing in comparison.
After eating and drinking, Xiaoya's classmates went back to school first. Today's meal cost a lot of money, enough for them to savor for a long time.
Du Shaojie took his little sister shopping and bought her a few sets of clothes and some cosmetics.
In the evening.
The brother and sister went to eat snacks, then Xiaoya returned to school, and Du Shaojie returned to the hotel.
Recalling the dishes he had eaten at noon, he was itchy for a while, so he got into the simulation scene and began to try to replicate them. The focus is [Fried Eel Paste in Oil] and [Salt Duck], he hopes that he can perfectly replicate these two dishes.
In the next few days, in order not to affect Xiaoya's class, the brother and sister met in the evening.
During the day, Du Shaojie continued his food tour, almost all the scenic spots in Jinling, and also had a deep impression of Jinling cuisine.
However, the replicated [Fried Eel Paste in Oil] and [Salt Duck] were not satisfactory. Du Shaojie took Xiaoya to [Jiangsu Restaurant] several times, and these two dishes were a must every time they went to eat.
A week later.
Du Shaojie finally perfectly reproduced [Fried Eel in Oil] and [Salt Water Duck] in the simulation scene.
In addition, he also reproduced 8 other Jinling dishes.
These 10 dishes can basically be finalized, so Du Shaojie consumed 5,000 exchange points and 100,000 hours of time to raise their comprehensive evaluation to the level of "exquisite delicacies".
Although nothing was gained during this period, 10,000 hours of time were consumed in the simulation scene.
[Exchange points: 67,918 points\411,066 points]
[Duration: 441,000 hours\7,053,000 hours]
Du Shaojie felt very happy. In Jinling, he not only met the little sister, but also visited many famous attractions.
The key is to taste countless delicacies and master the essence of Jinling cuisine. This is the biggest gain. (End of this chapter)
