Chapter 46
The next day, Guo Zhaogang invited Yang Wangshan to have dinner at the Kangle Box Hotel, and invited his rival Ding Weishang along. Last time, Ding Weishang invited Yang Wangshan to have dinner at the Lihua Hotel, and this time, he wanted to return the favor and let Ding Weishang experience what he felt at the time.
When Ding Weishang learned that Guo Zhaogang was going to take Yang Wangshan to a Heyan restaurant for dinner, he almost laughed to death.
"Guo Zhaogang is crazy. He actually wants to invite Mr. Yang to eat at an ordinary box-box restaurant."
"Could it be that after the trip to the Lihua Hotel, he realized that he had no chance of defeating me, so he just went crazy and threw in the towel?"
Ding Weishang even felt that Guo Zhaogang invited them to eat at a box restaurant to get revenge on them. Who knows if the hygiene of this small box restaurant is clean? What if they get diarrhea after eating there?
After thinking about it, Ding Weishang decided to stop the trip to the box restaurant. He didn't want to vomit and have diarrhea after eating.
Ding Weishang contacted Yang Wangshan specifically.
"Boss Yang, I heard that Lao Guo wants to invite you to have dinner at Hezi Restaurant."
"I don't know if Lao Guo is crazy. Why would he think of inviting us to eat at a small box restaurant like this? Not to mention that the food in this small shop tastes average, the most important thing is the hygiene problem. Many small shops are not clean. I am worried that Mr. Yang will feel uncomfortable after eating there."
"Boss Yang, how about this? We won't go to the Box Restaurant. I'll treat you to a nice meal at the Lihua Hotel."
Ding Weishang said a series of things. He felt that a rich man like Yang Wangshan would definitely look down on this kind of small box restaurant.
Unexpectedly, Yang Wangshan said, "It's okay. I'm used to eating in big hotels. Today I want to try the taste of a small restaurant."
Yang Wangshan’s answer surprised Ding Weishang a little.
"Mr. Yang, you want to change your taste? Then I'll recommend you a Western restaurant. It's not big, but the taste and hygiene are pretty good."
"The lunch box restaurant that Lao Guo is going to is really not good. This kind of small restaurant in a remote rural area must have hygiene issues. You'd better think carefully about it."
But no matter what Ding Weishang said, Yang Wangshan had no intention of changing his mind.
Yang Wangshan is a child from the countryside. When he was a child, his parents opened a small restaurant at the entrance of the village to make a living. Although it was a small country restaurant, his father and mother kept the restaurant clean and the food was also clean.
So Yang Wangshan has no prejudice against small restaurants, not all small restaurants are unclean.
Yang Wangshan clearly remembers that one time, a few customers who passed by on motorcycles came to the small restaurant at his home. Halfway through their meal, these customers said that there were dead cockroaches in the dishes and insisted that his parents pay for the meal.
Yang Wangshan, who was very young at the time, saw with his own eyes that the dead cockroaches were put into the dishes by the guests themselves, and he told others about it.
But those guests refused to admit it and said that Yang Wangshan was lying.
My parents believed in Yang Wangshan, so they didn’t plan to compensate those customers. As a result, those customers started to make a scene, ran to the door of the store and made a scene, and shouted at people passing by: “Don’t come to this restaurant to eat in the future. There are dead cockroaches in the food in this restaurant. It’s unfortunate that I ate it, and the owner still refuses to compensate.”
Even though the parents tried hard to explain to others that their restaurant was clean, many people did not believe it because in the eyes of many people these small country restaurants were not clean.
Later, under pressure, my parents paid compensation to those customers. However, after they made a big fuss, the restaurant's business became worse and worse, and finally my parents had to close the restaurant.
So when Yang Wangshan heard Ding Weishang keep emphasizing that the shop was definitely not clean, he felt a little uncomfortable.
The reason why he wanted to go to this Heyday Food Box Restaurant was because Guo Zhaogang sent him some pictures of the food there yesterday. He wanted to eat them just by looking at the pictures, so he decided to go with Guo Zhaogang to try the food there.
When Guo Zhaogang was first planning to invite Yang Wangshan to eat at the Hedian Restaurant, he had thought about the possibility that Yang Wangshan would dislike the restaurant, because he also disliked it at first.
In order to get Yang Wangshan to go to the Heya Restaurant with him for dinner, Guo Zhaogang sent Yang Wangshan many messages.
Guo Zhaogang: [Mr. Yang, although this is just a small box restaurant, the food here is absolutely delicious. I just had the braised pork and osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root from this box restaurant today. I can guarantee with my character that it is really delicious.]
Guo Zhaogang: [This boxed lunch restaurant is very clean and all the dishes look very clean. My wife and son are both regular customers of this boxed lunch restaurant. They eat here almost every day and have never had any problems.]
Guo Zhaogang had only eaten at a Heyday Food Box Restaurant once, and had never been to the restaurant himself, so he was not sure whether the restaurant was clean.
But his wife and son often go to the box lunch restaurant. They both say that the food in the box lunch restaurant is very clean. They have been eating box lunches for so long and have not found any hygiene problems. His wife and son are very particular about food. If the box lunch restaurant has hygiene problems, they will not keep eating there. Therefore, Guo Zhaogang believes that there is no problem with the hygiene of the box lunch restaurant.
In addition to emphasizing the issue of hygiene with Yang Wangshan, Guo Zhaogang also sent Yang Wangshan many pictures of food from the Hezi Restaurant. These pictures were provided to him by his son, who told him that as long as he sent pictures of food from the Hezi Restaurant, the other party would definitely be tempted.
The shiny braised pork, the golden and crispy pork, and the bright red braised pig's trotters will make anyone excited.
Guo Zhaogang: [Mr. Yang, these are all the delicacies from Heyan Restaurant. These photos were taken by my son without any filters.]
Guo Zhaogang: [In addition to these, Heyan Restaurant has many other delicious foods. Would you like to go to Heyan Restaurant with me tomorrow to try them? ]
Yang Wangshan was immediately attracted by the pictures of delicious food and decided to go to the Heya Restaurant to try them himself.
Once he has made up his mind, he will not change it no matter what others say.
Seeing that Yang Wangshan insisted on going to the Heya Restaurant, Ding Weishang did not force him.
Just go. If the food in the lunch box is not tasty or unhygienic, Mr. Yang will blame Guo Zhaogang.
Thinking of this, Ding Weishang began to look forward to Yang Wangshan going to the Heya Restaurant.
Originally, Ding Weishang was not planning to go with them as he had no interest in the food in the restaurant and he was also worried that he would get sick from the food.
But now he wanted to go along, he wanted to witness with his own eyes the scene of Guo Zhaogang making a fool of himself.
He had already thought about it. At that time, he could choose not to eat anything and just sit and chat.
When he arrived at the Kangle Boxed Food Restaurant, Ding Weishang was shocked by it. This Boxed Food Restaurant was even more ordinary than he had imagined, with no decoration at all.
Because he had eaten delicious food from the Box Restaurant yesterday, Guo Zhaogang was not surprised at all even though the Box Restaurant looked ordinary. In the face of delicious food, everything else is nothing.
"Boss Yang, this is the box lunch restaurant I mentioned. Don't underestimate it because it looks ordinary, but the taste is not ordinary at all."
Ding Weishang on the side was already rolling his eyes.
"What kind of delicious food can be made from this humble little lunch box!" Ding Weishang muttered quietly in his heart.
He had no intention of dissuading Yang Wangshan. Instead, he was looking forward to Yang Wangshan going in to taste the dishes of this box restaurant. If the food in the box restaurant was not tasty, Yang Wangshan might even get angry on the spot.
It’s exciting just to think about it, and Ding Weishang can’t wait to watch the show.
Yang Wangshan looked at the box-eating rice meal restaurant in front of him. This box-eating rice meal restaurant looked very friendly. Their small restaurant used to be just as ordinary, with some wooden tables and chairs placed in the house, and a sign without any design.
"Let's go in and try it." Yang Wangshan was the first to walk into the box restaurant.
Guo Zhaogang and Ding Weishang followed closely behind. As soon as they entered the Heyan restaurant, Ding Weishang shouted, "Where is the waiter? Where is the waiter?"
Normally when he went to a restaurant to eat, a waiter would come over to warmly entertain him. But when he came in and didn't see the waiter, he shouted.
Lin Huiling, who was busy packing lunch boxes, glanced at Ding Weishang and the others and said politely, "Guests, what do you want? I'm busy here. Please wait a moment."
Ding Weishang and the other two were dressed in suits and leather shoes, and they looked rich or noble. But after working at the Hedian Restaurant for so long, Lin Huiling had seen all kinds of customers, and many rich people liked to eat at the Hedian Restaurant, so she was not surprised.
Lin Huiling packed the lunch box in her hand and walked over. "Guest, what can I do for you?"
Ding Weishang: "Is this how you treat customers? You don't even take the initiative to greet customers when they come in. Your box lunch restaurant doesn't have private rooms. Please arrange one for us. We want the biggest one."
Lin Huiling hated this kind of arrogant guest. She said coldly: "Guest, our box lunch restaurant does not have a private room. If you want to eat box lunch, go over there and queue up to buy it."
Ding Weishang glanced at the customers queuing next to him and said unhappily, "You asked us to queue up. Are you kidding me? I, Ding Weishang, have never queued up when I go out to eat."
Every time he goes to a restaurant to eat, he is treated as a distinguished guest and others are so enthusiastic in entertaining him that there is no way they would ask him to queue up to buy food.
Their box lunch restaurant has no shortage of customers, and Lin Huiling will not indulge these customers. "Customer, you have to queue up to buy food at our box lunch restaurant. If you don't want to queue, you can go to another restaurant."
Ding Weishang didn't expect that even the waiter dared to contradict him. He said angrily: "Is this how you treat customers? Call your boss out and see if he will fire you."
"Our boss is busy and doesn't have time to come out." Lin Huiling said directly.
Lin Huiling was not afraid at all. Even if Chen Kangle came out, she would not blame her, and Chen Kangle himself would not indulge these guests.
Ding Weishang was about to curse Lin Huiling but was stopped by Yang Wangshan.
"Boss Ding, stop arguing! You have to queue up for this kind of box lunch restaurant. We just need to queue up."
Now Yang Wangshan is increasingly disdainful of Ding Weishang.
Guo Zhaogang also said: "Boss Ding, Hedian Restaurant is not a big hotel, we should just queue up like others."
Ding Weishang, who was originally unhappy, planned to fight with Lin Huiling to the end, but for Yang Wangshan's sake, he didn't want to continue arguing.
Ding Weishang looked at the queue, which had already stretched to the door. "Boss Yang, are we sure we want to queue in such a long line?"
Looking at the length of the line, it would take at least twenty minutes, and Ding Weishang didn't want to queue at all. He was not a fool to queue for twenty minutes for a box lunch!
"Mr. Yang, you can go sit over there first, I'll queue up and buy it for you." Guo Zhaogang was also worried that Yang Wangshan would not want to queue for so long, so he offered to buy him a lunch box.
Seeing Guo Zhaogang's initiative to show his courtesy, Ding Weishang was not to be outdone, "Boss Yang, go sit over there and take a rest. Leave the lunch boxes to me. You see, I'm tall and strong, so queuing is a piece of cake for me."
Yang Wangshan was not a hypocritical person. He took the initiative to walk to the back of the line and stood there. "It's okay. I usually sit a lot. It's good to stand occasionally."
"Boss Yang is different. You can tell at first glance that he is someone who can accomplish great things." Guo Zhaogang had not expected that Yang Wangshan was so approachable and not at all pretentious.
"Delicious food is worth waiting for! Mr. Yang, I promise that you won't wait in line in vain. What awaits us soon will definitely be the most delicious food." Guo Zhaogang also walked behind Yang Wangshan and stood in line.
Ding Weishang, who originally didn't want to queue, had no choice but to queue up as well.
Ding Weishang had never thought in his life that one day he would be queuing up to buy lunch boxes at a small box restaurant. He looked at Guo Zhaogang with resentment.
If Guo Zhaogang hadn't come to eat a box lunch, he wouldn't have suffered this.
He expected that Yang Wangshan would be angry when he ate the lunch box. Anyone would be angry after queuing for twenty minutes to buy an ordinary lunch box.
After waiting in line for nearly twenty minutes, it was finally their turn. Ding Weishang felt like his legs were about to break from standing.
In addition to him, Yang Wangshan and Guo Zhaogang were all very happy.
"Boss Yang, you can try this braised pork and osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root. I had these two dishes yesterday and they were both very delicious."
Guo Zhaogang couldn't help but recommend to Yang Wangshan two dishes he had eaten yesterday.
"Okay, I like braised pork very much." Yang Wangshan ordered two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, braised pork, pan-fried saury, lotus root with osmanthus and glutinous rice, and cold seaweed salad.
Guo Zhaogang had already eaten braised pork and lotus root with osmanthus and glutinous rice yesterday. Today he wanted to try other dishes. He ordered the stir-fried pork liver recommended by his wife yesterday, as well as steamed egg custard, garlic water spinach, and spicy and sour shredded potatoes.
"Just give me two meat dishes and one vegetarian dish." Ding Weishang, who was exhausted from waiting in line, didn't even want to look at the dishes and just asked the aunt who served him food to give him a few dishes.
To him, all the dishes in this cheap lunch box tasted equally bad.
The person responsible for serving Ding Weishang was Zhao Xiaodai. She simply served Ding Weishang tiger skin chicken feet, crispy pork and braised eggplant.
The moment he got the food, Ding Weishang smelled the rich crispy aroma.
"What a nice smell!" Ding Weishang couldn't believe that the aroma came from a lunch box that cost more than ten yuan.
He looked down at the food in his hand. The skin of the tiger skin chicken feet looked crispy and sticky, very tempting. There were also fried golden crispy small crispy meat, exuding a charming crispy fragrance. The skin of the braised eggplant was bright purple and looked very delicious.
Even Ding Weishang, who had eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, couldn't help swallowing his saliva. At this moment, he just wanted to taste these delicacies quickly and completely forgot to worry about the unhygienic problem of the lunch box.
"Let's sit at this table." Guo Zhaogang found an empty seat on the left side of the lunch box restaurant.
"Okay, let's sit at this table." The most active one was Ding Weishang, who sat down quickly.
As soon as he sat down, he picked up the tiger skin chicken feet with chopsticks and put them into his mouth. The bones fell off with a light bite. The soft and crispy tiger skin was slippery and full of collagen. The more he ate, the more he liked it.
The tiger skin chicken feet are juicy and bursting with juice when you bite them. They have a crispy and soft texture.
Ding Weishang likes to chew on the bones when eating chicken feet. Tiger skin chicken feet have been cooked for a long time, and even the bones are fresh and fragrant. The more you chew on them, the more addicted you become.
Under the temptation of delicious food, Ding Weishang gave up his image management and simply grabbed a chicken foot and started to eat it.
The chicken feet are soft on the outside and chewy and crispy on the inside. These are the most fragrant and best-tasting tiger skin chicken feet Ding Weishang has ever eaten.
In a short while, Ding Weishang finished eating the tiger skin chicken feet, but he was still not satisfied.
Ding Weishang looked up at the food in front of Yang Wangshan and Guo Zhaogang and said, "Why didn't you order the tiger skin chicken feet? Tiger skin chicken feet are super delicious."
Yang Wangshan was eating braised pork in red sauce. The fat but not greasy braised pork fascinated him. "I also like my braised pork in red sauce."
"My stir-fried pork liver is also very delicious. It's the first time I've eaten such tender pork liver." Guo Zhaogang chewed the pork liver in his mouth. The more he chewed, the more fragrant it became. He really liked the unique aroma of pork liver.
The pork liver at Kangle Box Restaurant is not only tender, but also has no fishy smell. It is completely different from the pork liver prepared in other restaurants. It is the first time he thinks pork liver is delicious.
Seeing that Yang Wangshan and Guo Zhaogang were also eating with gusto, Ding Weishang looked at the crispy meat in front of him and started eating again.
"The crispy pork is delicious too. The chef of this boxed lunch restaurant is really amazing. He can make the meat inside very tender while the skin of the crispy pork is so crispy."
The more Ding Weishang ate, the more he admired the chef. He never thought that a chef from a small box restaurant would have such great cooking skills.
"Oh my god, the braised eggplant is delicious too. The chef of this box restaurant must be a master."
Ding Weishang gave a thumbs up while eating, wishing he could use the most powerful words in the world to praise the chef, but the vocabulary in his mind was too limited.
After praising, Ding Weishang also discovered a problem. This box-eating rice restaurant was found by Guo Zhaogang. Why did he praise the box-eating rice restaurant found by Guo Zhaogang?
Ding Weishang looked up at Yang Wangshan again. Yang Wangshan was eating glutinous rice with osmanthus and lotus root. He ate one bite after another, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with this box lunch restaurant.
Not to mention Yang Wangshan, Ding Weishang himself looked at the osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root that exuded the fragrance of osmanthus and wanted to eat it too.
In order to grab the order, he specially invited Yang Wangshan to eat at the most famous Lihua Hotel in Hai City, thinking that he had won. Unexpectedly, Guo Zhaogang actually found such a delicious box meal restaurant, and the food there was many times better than that of Lihua Hotel.
After eating the meal at the Box Restaurant, Ding Weishang knew that he had lost, completely.
Ding Weishang felt a little regretful. He blamed himself for being too ignorant. He didn't even know that there was such a delicious boxed rice restaurant in Hai City, and Guo Zhaogang got there first.
After Yang Wangshan finished the last grain of rice, he said contentedly, "Mr. Guo, this box lunch restaurant you found is really good."
"As long as Mr. Yang likes it." Guo Zhaogang knew that Yang Wangshan would definitely like the food at the Heya Restaurant.
Guo Zhaogang looked at Ding Weishang who was standing beside him again. He said smugly, "Boss Ding, I wonder if you are satisfied or not."
Ding Weishang didn't want to talk at all, he nodded reluctantly.
The delicious smell in his mouth made it impossible for him to say anything against his will. The food in the Box Restaurant was indeed delicious and he liked it very much.
In this way, Guo Zhaogang got Yang Wangshan's order. In fact, the reason why Yang Wangshan gave the order to Guo Zhaogang was not only because of the delicious food in the Heyuan restaurant, but mainly because he didn't like Ding Weishang's personality.
Ever since Ding Weishang disliked Hedian Restaurant, he was a little dissatisfied with Ding Weishang. Later, when he went to Hedian Restaurant, Ding Weishang quarreled with the clerk again. Yang Wangshan could see that Ding Weishang was rude and arrogant.
When choosing business partners, Yang Wangshan pays great attention to character. He is unwilling to cooperate with arrogant and rude people.
Guo Zhaogang was very happy when he got the order, and he gave Guo Shujie another credit card.
"Take this card and buy whatever you want."
Guo Shujie didn't expect that because of the Heyu Restaurant, he would not only receive his father's praise, but also get his father's credit card.
——
Chen Kangle’s customized lunch box and packaging bag are ready. Looking at the lunch box and packaging bag printed with the Kangle lunch box logo, Chen Kangle feels inexplicably moved.
From a simple lunch box stall to a lunch box restaurant full of customers, it now has its own exclusive logo. From now on, you can see the Kangle lunch box logo on every lunch box and every packaging bag. As long as you see it, you will know that the lunch box is from the Kangle lunch box restaurant.
It all seems like a dream!
The next day, the new custom-made sign was also ready.
Chen Kangle arranged for workers to hang up the new sign, which was printed with the exclusive brand logo of Kangle Box Hotel, making it look instantly more upscale.
"Boss Chen, this new sign you made is really nice. It's very eye-catching and can be seen from a long distance."
"Boss Kangle, I like this logo. It is playful and cute, simple and eye-catching. The lunch boxes and packaging bags look more refined after the logo is printed on them."
"Our Kangle lunch box restaurant looks more and more professional. When someone asks me what kind of lunch box this is, I will just point to the logo on the packaging bag and tell them that this is a Kangle lunch box."
New signs, new lunch boxes, new packaging bags, new atmosphere, everything looks vibrant.
The Kangle Boxed Lunch restaurant has a brand logo, and the Kangle Boxed Lunch brand has taken shape. Chen Kangle began to imagine that in the future, signs with the Kangle Boxed Lunch logo will appear on many streets, so that more people can taste the delicious boxed lunches.
At this time, Chen Kangle thought of another problem. In the future, Kangle Box Lunch Restaurant will definitely have many branches and will become a well-known box lunch brand.
Chen Kangle had previously seen on the Internet that many brand stores now have their own accounts on the Internet, and they would promote their products on their accounts.
In the future, when Kangle Box Restaurant has branches, it will also need to promote it on the Internet. Now is the Internet age, and online promotion is very important.
Especially in the era when short video platforms are popular, a short video can be spread throughout the entire network with excellent publicity effects.
Chen Kangle remembered that she had seen a promotional video made by a travel agency before. The video was very creative and immediately became popular on the entire Internet. With the promotion of the short video, the business of this travel agency skyrocketed instantly.
Although Kangle Box Restaurant has not opened any branches yet, Chen Kangle decided to open a short video platform account for Kangle Box Restaurant first and manage the account slowly. When the Box Restaurant opens branches in the future, he can use the short video platform account to promote it.
Chen Kangle registered an account on the short video platform with the account ID: "Kangle Lunch Box" and the avatar being the brand logo of Kangle Lunch Box.
Newly registered account, number of followers is 0.
If you want to promote, you need to increase your fans. The more fans you have, the better the promotion effect will be.
Chen Kangle usually doesn’t have time to frequently browse short video platforms. She doesn’t know much about short videos, nor does she know how to manage short video accounts.
Many companies' social media accounts are managed by dedicated personnel, but she currently does not have the extra money to hire dedicated personnel to help manage the accounts.
Chen Kangle decided to run his own business. If he didn't know anything, he could learn it slowly. At night, Chen Kangle would lie on the bed and watch short videos, carefully learning the advantages of those popular videos, and then learning some simple editing and shooting techniques.
Chen Kangle is very smart and learns things quickly. He quickly learned how to shoot and edit videos.
Several days after opening the account, the "Kangle Boxed Lunch" account has not yet released any works. Chen Kangle decided to release her first work, and she already had the idea of the first video in her mind.
