Chapter 217 Low-end knockoff seafood restaurant
While Shang Yuwei was confused, Lin Wanxia took him out to a nearby department store and bought a bunch of skin care products and cosmetics.
Lin Wanxia pushed Shang Yuwei to sit on the seat for a long time, then handed him the mirror.
Shang Yuwei stared at the slightly unfamiliar face in the mirror with his eyes wide open.
While busy applying makeup on her face, Lin Wanxia saw him trying to touch her face and stopped him: "Don't touch it! It will remove the makeup. I won't be responsible if someone recognizes you when you go out later."
Shang Yuwei looked at himself in the mirror and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid my wife won't recognize me."
His original single eyelids became double eyelids, his skin turned wheat color, and there was a big black mole on the right side of his chin.
Lin Wanxia made Shang Yuwei look ugly, but she made herself look... ostentatious.
Flaming red lips, exaggerated makeup.
After looking at herself in the mirror for a long time, she was satisfied and walked towards the fishing port with Shang Yuwei.
Fishing Harbor Family is only a hundred meters away from the seafood restaurant. Go south to the intersection and you will find the second restaurant on the east side of the road.
Judging from the appearance... Lin Wanxia frowned. It is indeed imitating their seafood restaurant, but the imitation is not grand enough.
The facade of the seafood restaurant is made of real gold and silver, and many of the decoration materials are brought by He Yucheng from Hong Kong or even abroad.
At first glance, Fishing Harbor Family is similar to the seafood restaurant, but it is very poor if you look closely. It can only be regarded as a low-end copycat version.
There are also waiters to open the door and seat you.
However, the waiters of the seafood restaurant have all been professionally trained in the Hejia Five-Star Hotel. They are polite but not too attentive, and thoughtful but not too excessive.
The waiters of Fishing Harbor Family are a bit difficult to describe.
They imitate the seafood restaurant everywhere and are cheap everywhere.
For example, the uniforms of the waiters in the seafood restaurant are all straight and tight, which makes each waiter look energetic.
The uniforms of the fishing port people are obviously made of low-quality fabrics, wrinkled, and still retain the habit of making clothes with looseness. The waiters' uniforms easily remind people of monkeys wearing dragon robes.
The decoration in the store is even more difficult to describe.
The designers of the seafood restaurant, Chen Manshu and Lin Wanxia, were two cheating players. The decoration materials were bought from all over the world by He Yucheng, the second son of a well-known big family in Hong Kong.
It is exquisite and elegant everywhere, and it looks very noble.
The target group is the rich and powerful people in the city. They have seen the world. If they don’t show some real things, who would be willing to be a fool.
The fishing port people are obviously taking people as fools.
Seeing Lin Wanxia's eyes scanning the surroundings, the waiter who led the way thought that Lin Wanxia was shocked by what she saw for the first time.
He spoke in Mandarin with a local dialect, "Hello, have you ever seen such decoration? Let me tell you, we hired designers to design this place. Do you know what a designer is? They are the ones who specialize in drawing! Our boss spent a lot of money on it! Look at this table, it's made of solid wood..."
Lin Wanxia's mouth twitched, and she apologized to her ears that had been tortured: I'm sorry for making you suffer.
Shang Yuwei was originally a salesperson, and he adapted better than Lin Wanxia. He exaggeratedly said, "Wow! Really? No wonder it's so... chic. Who is your boss? He even knows designers?!"
"Our boss used to be an official. He was about to be promoted to the city as a director, but he offended a villain and lost his black veil..." Probably realizing that it was inappropriate to say that about his boss, the waiter changed his words, "You don't know how powerful our boss is! He knows many big officials in the city.
They all come to our place for dinner. Our boss's son-in-law also eats public food, but his hometown is a fishing village. He supplies all the seafood, which is absolutely fresh and delicious. It will definitely make your trip worthwhile."
Lin Wanxia combined the information revealed by the waiter and searched her own memory.
She actually remembered someone.
Gaochu.
If it was really Gaochu, then the "villain" was probably referring to her.
It's just that Gaochu's son-in-law is Lin Youzhi, and Lin Youzhi did grow up in a fishing village, but when did Lin Youzhi get involved in seafood?
As far as Lin Wanxia knew, although Lin Youzhi grew up by the sea, he was a typical landlubber. Not only that, he was allergic to seafood and hated the fishy smell.
So after the college entrance examination was resumed, he hid at home and studied hard for a year, was admitted to a technical secondary school, and was later assigned to the island city to eat public meals.
Shang Yuwei racked his brains to exaggerate his conscience while getting words from the waiter.
The store of the fishing port family is at least half the size of the seafood restaurant, and they soon arrived at the private room.
The private room that Lin Wanxia and Shang Yuwei were taken into was on the first floor and was very small.
There wasn't much space left after putting down a round table.
Lin Wanxia knocked with her fingers, and she didn't know what cheap wood the so-called solid wood furniture was made of.
Shang Yuwei said it might be low-quality rosewood.
The furniture in the seafood restaurant also has rosewood, but it's the kind that you can tell is good at first glance.
The luxury private rooms use better nanmu or sunken wood.
There is no bathroom or lounge in the private room.
The lounge in the seafood restaurant has been upgraded again and again, and now the rest area of the luxury private room has added a chess and card table.
Chen Manshu said that she would find someone to study it and install the KTV system.
Soon, the dishes they ordered came up.
Lin Wanxia: "..."
Steamed seafood is okay, after all, no matter who makes it, it's steamed in a pot.
Prawns and other things are also okay.
There are not few types of seafood.
But the taste is far worse than that of the seafood restaurant.
The variety of seafood is far less than that of seafood restaurants.
Seafood restaurants now focus on high-end products, selling rare and precious things.
But the people in the fishing port prefer home-cooked seafood.
As the waiter said, the fishing village supplies
the seafood. They are all caught by the fishermen at sea.
However, Lin Wanxia finally understood Shang Yuwei's description and nodded in agreement: "It is true that the attempt to draw a tiger fails but ends up with a dog."
Shang Yuwei chuckled.
Lin Wanxia had a picky appetite and was not used to eating such coarse food. She put down her chopsticks and said to Shang Yuwei, "Let's find out if the owner of this store is surnamed Gao. The people who came to the store to make trouble said that the owner of this store hired them to cause trouble in our store.
If it is found out that it is indeed them, don't be polite, and fight back."
"Huh? We also hired people to smash the store?"
Lin Wanxia shook her head. "What's the point of smashing the store? We can't escape and we have to compensate them if we are caught. Isn't it giving them the opportunity to make huge demands? Just arrange people to keep an eye on them, and report to the relevant departments if they find any irregularities.
For example, unsanitary conditions, stale ingredients, and overcharging customers can all be reported."
"Understood. Shang Yuwei agreed."
After Lin Wanxia finished explaining, she leaned back in her chair and was lost in thought.
She didn't take Liu's words seriously at first, but now she can't help but be alert.
Lin Youzhi, what exactly do you want to do?
