The sun is shining brightly today.
In the Shangdao Western Restaurant, Chu Xuan's face was full of weirdness.
It's not because of anything else, it's just that the steak fed by Zhao Shuangshuang in his mouth tastes strange.
He hesitated for a long time, but finally swallowed it with the intention of not wasting food.
Then, Chu Xuan waved.
"Waiter~"
At the door, the waiter with a poker face walked over reluctantly.
Before Chu Xuan could say anything, Poker Face spoke first:
"This is the taste of the steak in our store. If you are not satisfied, there is nothing I can do about it."
It was Chu Xuan's turn to be shocked.
He didn't even respond to what the question was, and the waiter had already learned to answer it.
It seems that because of this steak, the waiter was often embarrassed by the customers.
Of course, Chu Xuan was not here to embarrass the waiter. He took out a one hundred dollar bill from his pocket and handed it to the waiter opposite.
Poker Face was a little surprised, and he immediately said: "Guest, do you want to pay?"
But Chu Xuan waved his hand and said calmly: "This is a tip for you."
At this moment, the poker face immediately turned into a chrysanthemum face.
In 2008, when the monthly salary of ordinary employees was less than 1,000 yuan, a tip of 100 yuan was already equivalent to several days' wages.
Of course it’s worth being happy about.
As a result, the waiter in front of him immediately smiled brightly:
"Sir, why don't I give you some pasta instead? There's nothing difficult about pasta. I can make it. The taste is pretty much the same and it won't be hard to swallow."
It turns out that the waiter also knows that the steaks in his store are unpalatable.
Chu Xuan was really curious this time:
"It's lunch time now. I see that other restaurants are overcrowded. Why is your restaurant...a bit desolate? This Western restaurant is going to be transferred?"
The waiter looked down at the hundred-dollar tip in his hand, and then sighed softly:
"Sir, to tell you the truth, our store is actually run by the proprietress. The chef is the proprietress's brother, the lobby manager is the proprietress's daughter, and this steak was cooked by the chef..."
Chu Xuan frowned: "With this smell, customers won't complain?"
"How could you not complain?" The waiter looked distressed:
"Guests have reacted countless times, but we are all one family, who dares to say more? Previously, a serviceman was so angry that he was scolded by a customer and cried. Then he went to the landlady for comment, turned around and was fired. No one dared to speak. Coupled with the misbehavior of people like my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, a good store has been ruined. Now its reputation has been ruined and there are no customers at all. In the end, it ended up like this..."
With the helpless words on the waiter's face.
Chu Xuan finally understood the problem.
It turns out that it wasn't his time travel that changed this store, but that the store's business was already so poor in the first place.
Now the store has put up a sign for transfer. When the new owner takes over, the store's chef, waiters, and lobby manager will all be replaced, and the store will be revitalized immediately.
The scene of the long queue in Chu Xuan's mind was actually the scene after the new store opened.
After the waiter left, Chu Xuan began to think quickly.
Since he knew that this store would have long queues and booming business in the future, why didn't he take over this store before others took over?
According to the experience of later generations.
The steaks of this Western restaurant are famous throughout the Holy City, and many people come here to check in.
Later, when the Internet becomes more developed, this place will become a holy place for Internet celebrities to open their stores. Because the reputation becomes more and more famous, more than a dozen branches will be opened in one go...
In Chu Xuan's mind, he vaguely seemed to have heard someone say that the net profit of this store a year was as high as millions~
He now has 320,000 yuan in hand, and he doesn't know if he can take down this store.
Just when Chu Xuan was seriously thinking about the feasibility of taking over this store, his phone vibrated.
He took out his mobile phone and found that it was a QQ message.
It was from my best friend Shou Bo.
[Brother Chu, the college entrance examination is finally over today. Everyone wants to relax. The classmates in the class are discussing where to party. Brother Chu, what do you recommend? 】
Chu Xuan raised his head and glanced across the way. Zhao Shuangshuang was playing with a lot of gadgets she had just bought on the pedestrian street. Her favorite was Bing Dundun, and she couldn't put it down after holding it in her hand.
Before he could reply, Shou Bo sent a bunch of messages again.
[Brother Chu, look at the chat group. That idiot Wang Guangju actually said he wanted to go to the Oriental Hotel to eat. Can the consumption there be something that our group of students can afford? 】
[Wang Guangju is really a killer. The Oriental Hotel is a star-rated hotel. A meal costs tens of thousands. Even if fifty people in our class go, for AA, it will cost at least two to three hundred per person. Does he have this kind of money? I can do it. If you rent an Internet cafe for a month, who will eat his bread? 】
In 2008, the monthly salary of ordinary people was only a thousand dollars.
A group of poor students who had just finished the college entrance examination went to a star-rated hotel to eat, which was indeed a bit too pretentious.
Chu Xuan didn't understand the brain circuits of these children who didn't even have hair.
He remembered that the families of his high school classmates were all ordinary people. Except for Xia Xue, a little hidden rich woman, everyone else was basically from a working-class family. A good person in any family would have to pay hundreds for a meal.
If we added the follow-up singing, most of the people in the class would give up.
Chu Xuan was not interested in the so-called class reunion.
He casually replied: "You can play by yourself, Xiaoshuang and I are eating steak together."
He raised his head and looked at Zhao Shuangshuang in front of him:
"Since the steak is not delicious, do you want to eat pasta or find another restaurant? Or I will take you to KFC?"
"KFC!"
Zhao Shuangshuang stretched out his slender hand and pointed at the KFC store opposite, his big eyes shining with excitement.
So, Chu Xuan waved to the waiter to come over and pay.
At this moment, the phone vibrated again.
[Brother Chu, look at our class group. That idiot Wang Guangju insists on going to high-end restaurants because he has a little money at home. He also claims that he knows people and can get discounts. I can’t stand this guy’s face. Really? There are no tigers in the mountains and monkeys are the king. Brother Chu, please come forward and teach this coin-killing man a lesson. 】
Who is Wang Guangju?
Chu Xuan frowned.
Within a month of being reborn in this era, Chu Xuan spent all his energy on studying.
There are fifty classmates in the class. To be honest, except for Shou Bo and Li Bin in the front row, there are a few class beauties and school beauties in the class. Chu Xuan can name only a dozen of them, and some of them look familiar. But for those whose names he couldn't name, as for the others, he had really forgotten them.
Not to mention Wang Guangju, Chu Xuan still doesn't know who the girl named Xiaojun is who wrote the love letter to him.
Chu Xuan was not interested in the games of these little brats. He even forgot whether he attended this party in his previous life, so he quickly replied:
"I still have something to do here, so I won't go."
Putting away his mobile phone, Chu Xuan came to the front desk. After paying the bill, he stopped at the door of the Western restaurant. He looked at the sign on the door saying that Wangpu was transferred, and wrote down the contact information on it.
Then he took Zhao Shuangshuang straight to the KFC store opposite.
Sure enough, KFC's business is so good, there is no space at all when you come in, and you have to queue up to order in front.
In comparison, the Western restaurant across the street really makes you starve to death by feeding food into your mouth.
You know, this is a prime location. Not only is there a music conservatory, but also Fortis Plaza, a high school and a primary school. There are also a large number of white-collar workers gathered in the office buildings.
Whenever it's meal time, every restaurant nearby is packed.
Just this Western restaurant, the salty steak, is killing me.
If Chu Xuan buys this store, the first thing he will do is to open the chef.
Soon, it was Chu Xuan's turn to order. When he came to the table with a large plate of burgers, cola, French fries, and chicken nuggets, his phone vibrated again.
At first, he thought it was from Shou Bo and planned to ignore it, but as his phone vibrated more and more frequently, he reluctantly took out his phone and found that it was actually someone in the class group that had been blocked early.
With a slight sigh, Chu Xuan clicked into the class group.
[Li Bin@chuxuanchuge, Jupeng Restaurant is waiting for you and Zhao Shuangshuang, come quickly. 】
[Li Bin@chuxuanchuge, this store is very close to your home, you can get there in a few minutes by bike]
[Shoubo@chuxuanlaochu, come quickly. 】
…
Chu Xuan couldn't help but feel a little confused when he saw these two guys, Li Bin and Shou Bo, constantly @him in the group.
These two guys didn't know if they were stimulated by Wang Guangju, and they must go over and regain their place.
But Chu Xuan didn't bother to pay attention at all. He put down his mobile phone and said to Zhao Shuangshuang opposite: "Is it delicious?"
Zhao Shuangshuang nodded: "It's much more delicious than the steak just now~"
…
Just when Chu Xuan and Zhao Shuangshuang were eating junk food.
Jupeng Hotel, in the Zhuangyuan Hall.
Almost all the students from Class 3 and Class 5 of Shengdu Experimental High School appeared on stage.
This gathering was initiated by Wang Guangju, the monitor of Class 5.
At first, Wang Guangju suggested that everyone go to a star-rated hotel because it was too expensive. After some discussion, he decided to go to this smaller restaurant.
Wang Guangju's family owns several supermarket chains. Although he is not as rich as a young rich woman like Xia Xue, in the eyes of ordinary people, he can still be regarded as half a rich second generation.
A few hundred yuan was just pocket money for him, but most of the students in the class couldn't afford it, and he didn't have the ability to invite the whole class to a star-rated hotel for a big meal. After some push and pull, he chose to come to this mid-range restaurant. Restaurant.
With an average consumption of RMB 100 per capita, even students from average family backgrounds can still afford it.
Besides, this is the last gathering of the class, and everyone cherishes it.
As the initiator of this class reunion, today Wang Guangju is wearing a casual suit, his hair should be waxed, and his 37 points are as good as those of future real estate agents. Wang Guang, who looks high-spirited, raises his glass, with a social expression on his face :
"Classmates, today, we gather here to celebrate our high school graduation. I am very honored to be the host of this gathering and bring you this unforgettable moment."
"Time flies so fast, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye. I believe that during this period, everyone has experienced many changes and growth. We may go on different paths in life, with our own lives and opportunities."
"However, no matter where we are, I believe that there is a deep emotion in everyone's heart, and that is the nostalgia and cherishment of our high school years. Those days when we went to class, played ball, and participated in activities together, those days when we struggled and struggled together, The time spent pursuing our dreams has become the most precious memory in our lives.”
"Today, we gather here not only to recall the past, but also to connect the friendship and emotions between us. Let us raise a toast together, wishing that our friendship will last forever and that our future will be better!"
“I’d like to toast everyone to this cup!”
Wang Guang raised his wine glass, raised his head and poured a small cup of white wine into his mouth.
Then he bared his teeth and was proud of himself amidst the cheers and applause of the crowd.
At this time, all the students in the No. 1 Scholar Hall raised their glasses at the same time. Most of the boys drank beer, while the girls drank only beer. Only a few outstanding girls drank beer.
As everyone clinked glasses for the first time, the atmosphere in the hall became lively.
