The next day, early in the morning. Wang Zhong was sitting in the store writing and drawing with a pen and paper. The door was half open, and the signboard was taken down by Wang Zhong. The sign saying business was closed was hanging outside.
"Brother!" Wang Yang was a little excited and walked into the store with great enthusiasm.
"Here, sit down for a while. There is brewed tea on the table. If you are thirsty, pour it yourself." Wang Yang looked at Wang Zhong who was still immersed in writing and drawing without raising his head. He walked over curiously and saw only a blank sheet of paper. The combination of thick and detailed lines outlines the appearance of a house.
But except for the first rendering and the third elevation, Wang Yang couldn't understand most of the other graphics composed of lines.
"Brother, what are you painting?" Wang Yang asked curiously. Wang Zhong didn't even bother to raise his head: "Design!"
"Design?" Wang Yang was stunned. Although he had already made a guess, he still couldn't help but feel surprised when he heard these three words from Wang Zhong's mouth.
"What's wrong?" Wang Zhong raised his eyes slightly and glanced sideways at Wang Yang, who was already sitting opposite him. Wang Yang chuckled and forced out an awkward smile: "Brother, when will you be able to draw design drawings?"
"There are still many things you don't know!" Wang Chongfeng said lightly. Wang Yang did not refute this. Thinking of Wang Zhong's power, Wang Yang became even more convinced.
"By the way, I'm going to buy materials later. Just in time, you can help me borrow a three-wheeler." Wang Zhong didn't explain, and just gave Wang Yang instructions.
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Wang Yang hurriedly ran out before his butt was hot, for fear that he would be delayed and delay Wang Zhong's business.
For the next half month, Wang Yang stayed in the restaurant with Wang Zhong, quietly helping Wang Zhong renovate the entire restaurant. Although Wang Zhong could do it himself, Wang Yang This young and strong young man's helper indeed saved Wang Zhong a lot of effort.
In half a month, Wang Yang watched Wang Zhong's small restaurant change from its original shabby appearance to its current appearance, which was clean and tidy and completely different from the surrounding restaurants.
The floor is specially paved with non-slip and translucent ceramic tiles, which were specially ordered from the south. The floor-to-ceiling extra-thick glass, I heard, is tempered and custom-made. The original rolling shutter door has also been replaced by two transparent glass doors. , there are words written on the glass.
The front dining room has a square table and benches made of solid wood. There are eight sets of a table with two benches. There are also brand-new counters, refrigerators, freezers, stoves, and pots and pans for cooking. , almost all passed Wang Yang's hands.
Inside, Wang Zhong's original residence had been converted into a private room, with a large round table, a glass turntable, and solid wood chairs covered with cushions. If he hadn't spent all the money he had, Wang Zhong would have planned to install two air conditioners.
Seeing Wang Zhong spending money like water, Wang Yang felt it was very unreal, and he even thought he was dreaming.
Thinking that the restaurant could have such a big change and that he had put in a lot of effort, Wang Yang quietly felt a bit of pride in his heart.
"What are you stunned for! Move further to the left." Wang Yang, who was stunned, was awakened by Wang Zhong's rich voice and quickly moved the flower bonsai in his hand to the left.
"Is it correct?" Wang Yang looked at Wang Zhong. Wang Zhong, who was standing outside the gate with his hands folded in front of his chest, looked around again, then nodded and said: "Almost!" Wang Yang quickly ran to Wang Zhong's side, facing the gate, and followed Wang Zhong's example with his arms folded. Looking at his chest, he nodded and said: "It's almost the same." Then he moved his eyes upward and looked at the three big characters "Jishantang" flying in the air above the door. His clear eyes became brighter and brighter, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but He raised his head slightly, revealing an expectant smile.
That smile and bright eyes are filled with longing and expectations for a better future. Jishantang is the restaurant run by Zhou Bingkun in the human world and affiliated with Golden Land Magazine. If we really count, it has been hundreds of years now. Wang Zhong still used this name as a kind of commemoration. The meaning is in it.
After all, this was Wang Zhong's return to the Northeast after hundreds of years of absence. Although it was not the Jichun he remembered, the distance was not too far away.
"Brother, what you write in this word is really domineering!" Looking at the three big characters with flying dragons and phoenixes, Wang Yang, although he didn't understand the three flavors, felt inexplicably powerful, and gave Wang Zhong a thumbs up with a look of admiration. road.
Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Stop flattering, how is the person I asked you to find?"
"Brother, don't you worry about me doing things? I have already made an appointment for the two of them. I asked them to come over at ten o'clock in the morning. It should be almost time." Wang Yang lowered his head and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall of the store.
Wang Zhong said: "I have to go buy some goods in the afternoon, so don't delay me."
"Don't worry, brother! There won't be any delay. I made it clear to them." Wang Yang assured Wang Zhong, patting his chest.
Sure enough, not long after, before ten o'clock, two women of different ages came over.
There was no complicated interview. They simply talked about the job content and benefits, and the two of them agreed without even thinking about it.
There is a layoff boom right now. Even Hua Steel has not hired people for several years, let alone other small factories. Now the entire Hualin is full of people who cannot find jobs.
This also gave rise to many small workshops like Wang Zhong's that opened and operated their own shops. But most of the families have very little money, and they don’t even have the capital to start a business, and they don’t have the courage to go south to work. They have elders in the family and younger ones in the family, and there are several families waiting for food, so they can only find odd jobs in Hualin. .
Recruiting people is not easy, but Wang Zhong doesn't just want anyone. The two he hired were carefully selected. At least in the eyes of their neighbors and co-workers, they are all honest, hard-working and capable. .
The two women are both laid-off workers from the thermal power plant. The older one is called Sister Hua. She is thirty-six years old and has a distinctive face. She is very efficient at work. Wang Zhong asked her to help in the kitchen. Her main job is Washing vegetables, dishes, etc.
The younger one is called Huang Ling. She is twenty-six years old and looks quite upright. She is responsible for the front dining room, mainly serving reception, serving dishes, clearing tables, etc., and also works as a cashier.
It's not that Wang Zhong doesn't want to invite a few more people, the main reason is that the restaurant has just opened and the stall is not big, so there is no need for so many people, and Wang Yang is also helping.
As for Wang Yang, he is currently cutting vegetables with Wang Zhong as an apprentice. Wang Zhong teaches him his craft and gives him a symbolic salary of one hundred yuan every month as pocket money.
The two of them agreed that when Wang Yang starts working, he will be the chef in the store. When the time comes, Wang Zhong will not only give him a salary, but also annual dividends.
Wang Yang didn't even think about it and just agreed. This guy didn't take it seriously at all. He just thought that Jishantang had just opened and he was just helping Wang Zhong get it first.
On August 15th of the Gregorian calendar, Jishantang officially opened for business. The first customers who came to Jishantang after it opened for business were none other than Wang Zhong's old neighbors and acquaintances in Huagang. Anyone who had a good relationship with Wang Zhong's deceased parents, as long as they were free, Basically, everyone came to support Wang Zhong.
On the first day, Jishan Hall was overcrowded. At first, everyone wanted to praise Wang Zhong. After all, everyone had tried Wang Zhong’s skills before. Although it was not bad, it was just home-cooked. Wang Zhong was also doing it because of his business. This is usually when people make up their mind to study cooking in a provincial city.
I didn't expect to support him this time, but the result was far beyond everyone's expectations. Compared with a few months ago, Wang Zhong's craftsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds. The side dishes were fried very well, with good color, fragrance and flavor. Zuo who came to support him There are no neighbors who don’t give thumbs up.
In fact, the simpler the dish, the more it tests your cooking skills. From seasoning to heat, the selection and use of materials, and even the knife skills used to handle the raw materials, every little detail is the key to determining the taste.
Wang Zhong also presented a plate of pot-wrapped pork to every table of the neighbors who came to support him. Northeastern people are still very down-to-earth, and they all gave a thumbs up to Wang Zhong's generosity, especially after tasting it. They all said that they would promote Wang Zhong well and let relatives and friends come over to try Wang Zhong's craftsmanship.
In the evening, when Wang Xiang got off work, Wang Xiang, who knew that Wang Zhong's restaurant had reopened today, also brought several colleagues from the driver class to Wang Zhong's restaurant.
"Jishantang? Even the name has been changed!" Due to the literacy campaign in the early years and the popularization of compulsory education, basically all the male and female workers in the factory are literate and have studied.
The person who spoke was a tall and thin man named Liu Quanli, who had the best relationship with Wang Xiang in the driver class. His wife, Li Qiaoyun, was also a character who appeared more often. She was now a weigher at the Hua Steel General Plant, and her position was not high. But the power is not small, and all goods shipped from the factory have to go through Li Qiaoyun.
According to the development of the original plot, Li Qiaoyun later came together with Wang Xiang after Wang Yang and Luo Meisu left one after another.
But it's hard to say now. After all, with the addition of Wang Zhong, a little butterfly, who knows how Wang Zhong's flapping wings will mess up the plot.
"There are quite a lot of people!" It was lunch time, and four of the eight tables in the small restaurant were occupied. Looking at the lively and crowded Jishan Hall, Wang Xiang also had a smile on his face. After all, Wang Zhong was a junior of his own clan, and Wang Zhong's restaurant was doing well. While he felt gratified, his face was unavoidable. It also gained glory.
"Welcome to Jishan Hall, please come in!" Huang Ling, wearing a uniform, a red and black apron, and a round hat of the same color wrapping her hair, welcomed Wang Xiang and others into the restaurant with a smile on her face.
Just looking at the sincere and polite smile on Huang Ling's face, who looked pretty good, Wang Xiang and the other workers in the driver's class felt much better.
Huang Ling asked in a clear yet gentle voice: "Are you guys sitting in the box or outside?"
"Is there a private room?" Wang Xiang asked Huang Ling in surprise.
"Our store is newly opened and the place is small. Currently there are only two private rooms, so our private rooms usually only receive more than five guests." Huang Ling answered in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, her attitude still very good.
Wang Xiang and others were in a group of six, which just exceeded the standard for sitting in a box.
"The table outside is really a bit small!" Six people could barely sit down at the table outside, but it was a little crowded. Moreover, it was midsummer and the weather was hot. Although the temperature dropped at night, the sky was still bright. It's not dark, even if the temperature does drop, it doesn't drop much.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you. Let's go in the box!" Wang Xiang has a high reputation in the driver class, not only because he has been a model worker, but also because he is older, has good skills, and is recognized by everyone for his character. , so everyone calls him Master Wang.
After a while, Wang Xiang and others ordered six appetizers, two bottles of liquor, and a box of beer under Huang Ling's warm reception.
Not long after, one dish after another was brought to the table by Wang Yang and Huang Ling, who came to help because of the crowd.
"Dad!" Although Wang Yang was a little surprised to see his father, he was not too surprised. After all, he had expected his father to come to support him.
"Isn't this Yang'er!" Liu Quanli and several co-workers are quite familiar with Wang Yang. After all, they often interact with each other on weekdays, and when Wang Xiang works overtime, Wang Yang always gives him meals.
"Uncle Liu..." Wang Yang greeted everyone one by one.
"Okay, it's a time when there are many guests in the hotel, so we don't need you to greet him, so hurry up and go do your thing!" Wang Xiang urged Wang Yang out of the door.
Wang Yang returned to the kitchen and told Wang Zhong about the matter. Wang Zhong said that he would give Wang Xiang and the others a 40% discount when they paid the bill later, so that they could charge less.
On the first day of opening, the business was pretty good, and of course it was not exaggerated. However, for dinner alone, there were more than a dozen tables in total. Most of them came to cheer, and some came to cheer after hearing about it at noon. Guests attending the show recommended coming here in the future.
Nowadays, there are a lot of layoffs, and workers are having a hard time. They wish they could split a penny into two flowers. How can there be those who went out to eat out in restaurants in the past? Those who can eat out in these years are either those with good family conditions, or It means having a stable job and high income.
Wang Zhong's cooking skills are up to level 5. Not many in the entire Hualin, even in the entire three eastern provinces, can match Wang Zhong. Running a restaurant is nothing more than three things, taste, hygiene and service.
Compared with the numerous small shops surrounding it, Wang Zhong's Jishantang is clean and tidy. The floor has to be mopped seven or eight times every day, and the table tops covered with wood wax oil are cleaned after collecting the dishes. , have to be wiped three times with a rag. First of all, it is clean and tidy. There is no shop in a few streets around that can compare with Jishantang.
Then came the service. Although Huang Ling, who had gone through pre-job training, could not be called a beauty, she looked pretty good, and she was young. She had a girl-next-door look when she smiled, and her tone and attitude were very warm and kind, which made people feel The feeling is different.
The most important thing is the craftsmanship. Anyone who has eaten Jishantang's food will give it a thumbs up.
In just over half a month, the name of Jishantang spread throughout Huagang. The middle and high-level leaders in the factory listened to the people below every day and were inevitably curious to come over and give it a try. Unexpectedly, this trial opened up a way for Wang Zhongduo to make a lot of money. The leaders of the Huagang Factory, headed by Song Yukun, came to Wang Zhong's small restaurant almost every day to beat his teeth and offer sacrifices. Anyway, all they used was Hua Steel's money, and They don’t have to pay out of their own pockets.
As soon as Song Yukun and the others arrived, the only two private rooms became their exclusive use.
"Brother, I want to take a day off tomorrow!" On this day, Wang Yang found Wang Zhong and asked with some anxiety.
"Is something wrong?" Wang Zhong asked. Wang Yang said: "Don't Qu Bo's school start tomorrow? I want to accompany him to register and see what the university is like." Wang Zhong glanced at Wang Yang: "Yi Hua is famous for having many girls. Let’s see what the university is like. If you want to see a pretty girl, just say so.”
"Hehehe!" Wang Yang chuckled and rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. Wait, Doctor Hua has started school, and that silence should appear. Thinking of this girl who had a tragic fate and was forced to have her hands stained with blood, Wang Zhong couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
"Qu Bo has started school, how are you thinking about re-study?" After agreeing to Wang Yang's request for leave, Wang Zhong suddenly asked about Wang Yang's re-study.
Wang Zhong was like a mirror in his heart. Even though Wang Yang was doing a good job with Wang Zhong, Wang Xiang and Luo Meisu still hoped that Wang Yang could re-enter the university. The standard of the university was still very high.
Although starting in 1996, universities have begun to gradually cancel the policy of guaranteed allocation after graduation, but for children born in ordinary families like Wang Yang, the college entrance examination is one of the easiest and fairest ways for them to change their destiny. University undoubtedly It is their best stepping stone to knock on the door of society.
Wang Xiang may be a little too pedantic at this time, but for the future of his son Wang Yang, he and his wife Luo Meisu have excellent original intentions and ideas in hoping that Wang Yang can repeat his studies and take the college entrance examination.
However, Wang Yang himself was unwilling to repeat the course. Seeing Wang Yang leaving happily, Wang Zhong's eyes flickered and he began to think about how to get in touch with Silence.
Wang Yang is a very good tool man. This guy is thick-skinned and courageous. Moreover, if he is really silenced, he will definitely be like the original drama, falling in love at first sight and being unable to extricate himself.
Wang Zhong briefly summarized that Shen Shen's tragic life stemmed from four people, first of all, her uncle and aunt, her uncle Shen Dongliang turned a blind eye to Shen Shen's sexual assault, abuse, and nude photos... Aunt Zhao Jing , acquiescing to this matter.
But the silence at the beginning was actually kind. I still remembered the kindness of Shen Dongliang and Zhao Jing in their upbringing. All I wanted to do was work and earn money. I should pay back everything I owed to Shen Dongliang and his wife over the years and completely end the relationship. .
The last straw that broke the camel's back was Yin Hong, who drugged Shen Mo, and the Hong Kong businessman who raped Shen Shen. It was the two of them who broke down the last line of defense in Shen Shen's heart, turning Shen Shen into a black man, with his hands covered in blood.
Even Shen Mo finally returned to Hualin from Inner Mongolia because Shen Dongliang took Fu Weijun's ashes as a threat.
If Silence is to avoid taking that road of no return, these four people are the key to it.
