In the afternoon of the next day, Zhao Shanhe drove a tricycle to Huamanlou Mutton Restaurant.
Huamanlou Mutton Restaurant is located in a farm in Nancheng, surrounded by mountains and rivers, which is clean and pleasant.
Parking the car outside the restaurant, Zhao Shanhe got out of the car and made an agreement with the waitress in the front hall to reserve a private room. The waitress enthusiastically showed the way.
The waitress saw that Zhao Shanhe was not dressed as an ordinary person, so she respectfully handed over the menu and introduced, "Sir, the specialties of our store are roasted whole lamb, peppery lamb brain, and spicy lamb trotters."
"Is there any good wine?" Zhao Shanhe asked.
"In addition to Moutai, the good wine is the flower wine made by our landlady herself. It is sweet and refreshing. To be honest, it tastes better than Moutai." The waitress smiled, quite shy.
"Then bring a bottle of Maotai, and a pound of flower wine. Arrange the roasted whole lamb first, a lamb brain with pepper and sesame seeds, a plate of charcoal grilled lamb kidneys, stir-fried shredded lamb tripe, garlic lamb liver, and spicy lamb trotters. , a plate of steamed lamb blood, lamb and onion stuffed dumplings, and two other side dishes to go with wine!"
Zhao Shanhe heard that he was very particular about eating one sheep for ten meals, but the sheep whip and mutton eggs sounded scary enough, so he simply ordered some special signature dishes.
Liu Shiqiang was in time. The waiter brought the dishes and he pushed the door open and came in.
I took a look at the dishes on the table. The one in the middle was the roasted whole lamb, which cost four to five hundred yuan. The rest of the spicy lamb trotters and peppery lamb brains were not cheap. There were also bottles on the table. Maotai, it can be seen that Zhao Shanhe has shown full sincerity.
This guy is willing to take risks and can accomplish great things.
"Boss Zhao, this meal is not cheap. You are too polite. We can just order a few side dishes and a bottle of wine. It's too grand for you, and I'm really a little embarrassed. "Liu Shiqiang was a little shocked.
It was Zhao Shanhe's idea to come to Huamanlou to eat roasted whole lamb. Liu Shiqiang knew it wasn't cheap, but he didn't refuse. He just thought that Zhao Shanhe's ordering a roasted whole lamb with a few cold dishes would be enough.
But Zhao Shanhe was really generous. Just such a meal would probably cost 1,800 yuan.
Especially the lamb brain with pepper and sesame seeds, it is Hua Man Lou’s signature dish, and everyone who has eaten it is full of praise. Just such a dish costs at least forty or fifty yuan, and it comes with a bottle of Maotai, which is even more... not cheap.
"Director Liu, you have a distinguished status. Ordering these dishes makes me feel humbled in front of you. I originally wanted to invite you to Maochun Tower, but you also know that that is Yang Chunhe's territory, and I have a bit of a feud with him, so... ...I feel sorry for you to have two drinks with me here."
Maochun Tower is a famous high-end hotel in Nancheng. With a big boss like Yang Jianye in charge, it will never be defeated.
On the other hand, Huamanlou Mutton Restaurant was a restaurant frequented by ordinary people from the beginning. It only emerged in the past two years. Thanks to a few good dishes and an outstanding proprietress, the business has become prosperous.
"The place in Maochun Building is indeed high-end, but the food is not affordable. The day before yesterday, my wife's birthday, our family booked a private room in Maochun Building. I was really shocked when I saw the menu. A palm-sized bowl of shrimp porridge. Eight yuan is really expensive. How affordable it is to spend a whole building. The roasted whole lamb is no better than those with small plates and small bowls!" Liu Shiqiang gave Zhao Shanhe a lot of face.
"Director Liu, you and I are too foreign. You didn't even tell me about my sister-in-law's birthday the day before yesterday. If we get to know each other, I should at least treat my sister-in-law to a meal!"
Hearing this, Liu Shiqiang's face was as happy as a flower. He tapped Zhao Shanhe with his hand and said with a look of seeing through but not telling the truth: "You have such a sweet mouth."
Zhao Shanhe was so good at troubles that he directly praised Liu Shiqiang.
Liu Shiqiang can be regarded as an old man. He has been working hard for so many years and has seen countless people. He is a veteran who can smell the smell of a big girl when she passes by. But for such a naughty person as Zhao Shanhe, he It’s the first time I’ve seen it.
It was so deep that he couldn't quite touch it.
Instead, he was touched cleanly by Zhao Shanhe.
"Director Liu, the dishes have been served. Let's start drinking." Zhao Shanhe said directly, opening the Moutai and pouring it for Liu Shiqiang.
"This Maotai is a rare thing. You can afford it." Liu Shiqiang took the glass and took a sip.
The sauce is rich and tastes better than ordinary brand wines.
"Director Liu." Zhao Shanhe used a pair of clean chopsticks to pick up a piece of spicy sheep's trotters for Liu Shiqiang.
Liu Shiqiang took a bite and said, "Yeah! This lamb's trotters is good, stewed soft and tender, and very delicious."
Zhao Shanhe sat down, picked up a full glass of wine, and said to Liu Shiqiang with a sincere face: "Director Liu, this glass of wine is for you."
After a glass of wine, Zhao Shanhe picked up a piece of roast mutton and put it in his mouth. "Director Liu, I invite you here today. Firstly, I am grateful for your help to me. Secondly, I want to discuss with you my canned food. Can we do more on the side so that I can have the capital to increase production at the cannery?"
Most dinner parties in business are done for profit, Liu Shiqiang understands.
Besides, Zhao Shanhe's purpose in inviting this meal was already obvious.
Seeing through but not telling off is the rule of survival in the business world.
Since Zhao Shanhe bought the department store market and spent 1.88 million, he didn't have much money left in his hands.
At present, the department store market has been completely cleared. More than a dozen shops are now empty stalls, covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters. If you want to renovate such a large area, you will not be able to spend it with the few living money you have. of.
With a shopping mall in front, the decoration cannot be too simple. All the floors and walls need to be replaced, a batch of new shelves need to be customized, and some ceiling lights and advertising signs need to be replaced.
The facade of the original department store market was too rustic and had to be replaced, which cost money every step of the way.
Zhao Shanhe has made careful calculations. After the overall decoration of the department store market, even if the decoration fee is 10 yuan per square meter, it will cost 100,000 yuan. This is still a basic decoration.
Some corners also cost a lot.
He planned to bring over a large color TV from the south and place it at the entrance to play popular movies and TV series on a loop every day.
The old fans in the department stores must also be eliminated and all be installed with new air conditioners.
He also plans to sell a few more display freezers to facilitate subsequent storage of fresh vegetables and fruits.
"There is no problem in asking for more soda. After all, I still have many supply and marketing cooperatives that have not distributed the goods. But as you know, there are many can manufacturers that supply me, and there are even some old friends. The network of relationships is very complicated, and I can’t deal with the supply issue all at once. I’m afraid I won’t be able to deal with any problems when the time comes, so I need the nod from the superiors,” said Liu Shiqiang.
