"Mr. Xia, this is your performance schedule. Apart from tonight's rehearsal, you will perform four shows in total. The rest of the time you are free to do as you please."
Feng Manxue got into the mood as soon as she got off the plane. She changed her original stewardess uniform into an OL uniform. It would be even better if she had a pair of glasses.
Xia Yu pushed the sunglasses on his nose and took the performance schedule to look at it.
These four performances are held every other day and all start at 8 o'clock in the evening. He can go there after dinner, so he really has plenty of free time.
"Any good arrangements?"
After returning the performance schedule to Feng Manxue, Xia Yu asked again.
"During this time, I have planned some routes for you. There are some famous attractions and many unique foods."
This was not Feng Manxue's first visit to Beijing. The most popular routes for charter passengers were from Shanghai to Beijing and then to Guangdong Province. She was very familiar with these places, so planning routes was much easier than ever.
"I like delicious food. I've had Jinling Roast Duck, but I've never had Peking Roast Duck."
Xia Yu gets excited when talking about food. When he was in high school, his English class liked to give him questions about Peking duck. He didn’t understand it at first, so he directly translated it into Beijing Duck. Fortunately, it didn’t become Beijing GaGa.
"For roast duck, I recommend Bian Yi Fang. Da Dong and Siji Min Fu are also good. The most famous one is Quanjude, but you can only go to the directly-operated stores."
Feng Manxue is an expert in this field, and she also knows that expensiveness is not a problem for Xia Yu, so she focuses on taste rather than price.
"Quanjude? I'm familiar with this brand. It was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2007, and its revenue peaked in 2012. Since then, it's been declining year by year!"
Xia Yu said with a sigh.
"Mr. Xia, you are so knowledgeable!"
Feng Manxue also learned to flatter, and Xia Yu felt quite comfortable with it.
"Being well-informed is fine. After all, we're in the restaurant business, so we have to study the businesses of our peers. This big brother's fault lies in his poor management of the franchised stores."
Capital is a knife that can allow companies to expand their brands faster, but it can also completely unleash the company's development. This is why Xia Yu has never considered listing the company.
Don’t even think about joining the franchise. Seeing that Xia Jiabao’s business is booming, many people called or even came to inquire about joining, but they were all rejected.
These days, only direct operation can guarantee absolute quality. The franchise route is more suitable for small investments like milk tea shops and malatang shops, where the money earned comes from the franchise.
Quanjude's franchise stores even use electric ovens. Let's not talk about the taste for now. The level of luxury has dropped to the level of a 20-yuan fruit wood electric roast duck sold on the roadside. But they charge more than 200 yuan per piece, and then add a certain percentage of service fee. The service is even worse. Who else would suffer the loss if not you?
What the old brands play with is style and sentiment. Once you take these two away, no one is more noble than the other.
"Old Xu, let's go to Bian Yi Fang for lunch today. Let's try the fried tripe, braised pork belly, and Lao Bai Jing mutton hot pot."
Seven days is a long time, and he can slowly try out all the delicious food in the capital.
However, there is one thing Xia Yu is still hesitant about, that is, whether to try the legendary soy milk tomorrow morning?
This thing should be similar to soy milk. Xia Yu can drink salty soy milk and sweet soy milk, so he can drink soy juice as well.
Then give it a try!
Xia Yu made a decision immediately.
After entering the city, I went straight to the Bian Yi Fang Hade store. I thought it was an old retro store in a bungalow, but I never expected that they opened it in an office building.
Xia Yu is an expert at opening shops in office buildings, but this kind of old brand seems to lack authentic flavor. I wonder if the taste will change as well?
You have to try it to know. Xia Yu waved his hand and led the two into the office building.
In Shanghai, separate meals are the norm. Employers eat alone, drivers have their own meals, and employees have their own meals. They don't sit together to eat.
The most annoying cliché Xia Yu found in historical time-travel novels was that the protagonist traveled back from the modern era and became a prince or nobleman, and insisted on inviting the maids and servants to have dinner with them. Then those people felt respected and would die for their friends.
Anyone with a bit of experience would think it's stupid. Don't talk about class struggle. Even now, most leaders have special meals. If they really take you to a dinner party outside, it's probably because they want you to drink for them!
If you want to win people's hearts, you must share the joys and sorrows, not the wealth.
However, when you are away from home, there are not so many requirements. Everything is kept simple. The boss and employees eat at the same table and can order two more dishes to try a few more flavors.
Xia Yu is not a stingy person. He really doesn't care about the consumption of a few hundred yuan per person, but if the per capita consumption exceeds one or two thousand, Feng Manxue and Lao Xu will refuse it.
Because you can't take your boss's politeness for granted. He pays you to do the work, not to treat you like a ancestor.
After sitting down and ordering, Xia Yu first ordered a full set of roast duck, and then ordered Kung Pao mushroom duck heart, mustard duck feet, salted duck liver, and pepper and salt duck rack...
It seems that we are really here for a whole duck banquet today. Both the northern and southern capitals have their own way of cooking duck. Everyone has a different answer as to who is better. Xia Yu also came up with his own answer.
The roast duck was served first. Bian Yi Fang uses a stewing oven, and there is no open flame during the roasting process. Before leaving, I will try it again in the hanging oven to compare.
"Mr. Xia, I've packed it for you."
Once it’s wrapped, just eat it!
Xia Yu opened his mouth directly, and Feng Manxue put the wrapped duck meat into his mouth.
This scene happened to be seen by many male compatriots, and they were all filled with envy, jealousy and hatred!
"Wife, can you make one for me too?"
