National Tide 1980.

Chapter 487
Sunday, January 1983, 7.

On this day, Ning Weimin rushed to the tobacco shop on Huanghuamen Street with all kinds of specially prepared gifts.

At around nine o'clock, he walked into the small courtyard behind.

Unexpectedly, "Zhang Dashao" came out of the house with a stool in his hand, as if he was going to sit in the courtyard and choose vegetables.

The old man is in a good mood, happy to see him.

"I said, you came early enough today. What's the matter, I expected that there will be river fresh food to eat, and I'm going to make Jiangmi lotus root today?"

And Ning Weimin was all smiles, and hurriedly took the things in his hand, expressing his intentions.

"Master Zhang, you rest today, I just came to see you."

People from the capital don't need to speak too bluntly, the word "specially for" is enough to show that he has serious business.

So "Zhang Dashao" was stunned, and the interest in teasing immediately dissipated.

Putting the things in his hand in the courtyard, he let Ning Weimin into his room.

"Seeing what you mean is not a trivial matter. We are so familiar, I will talk about the ugly things first, if you have something to do, please hurry up and don't go around in circles. I will try my best to do it, but if it doesn't work, don't try to force me! What's the matter? You brought it, how do you take it back when the time comes?"

"Zhang Dashao" looked at the things Ning Weimin put on the table.

Just based on the two "Zhang Yiyuan" red tea barrels, not tea bags, he can figure out how much Ning Weimin wants to ask for. .

Ning Weimin didn't mind "Zhang Dashao" being blunt and straightforward, he knew that this was the style of this chef.

Knowing that the old-school people who are capable of "Zhang Dashao" can only caress along the way.

If you want to argue with him, you will never be able to get together.

So, he also came straight to the point.

"Master Zhang, I dare not show my wit in front of you when it comes to business. Since you want to be happy, then I will make it clear that I am here today because of your ability."

"I, didn't I represent our company, Chongwen District Service Bureau, and Tiantan Park to open a joint venture restaurant that specializes in court dishes. I mentioned this to you. Do you remember? Now the restaurant has been prepared It's halfway there. It's easy to say anything, but the quality of this dish makes me worry."

"My master told me again and again that the specifications of restaurants and restaurants, in addition to having their own unique signature dishes, must have a famous chef poking at the back stove, otherwise they will have to smash their brands and cannot sustain business. I remembered This reminds me of you..."

"Me? Don't, don't..." "Zhang Dashao" waved his hands without waiting for Ning Weimin to finish speaking.

"I'm just a cook in a cafeteria. I don't have any reputation at all, and what I can cook is commonplace food. It's not elegant at all. There are so many capable people in the world! You're looking for the wrong person when you're looking for me, you, look for it again ..."

"What an old child." Ning Weimin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He had long expected that "Zhang Dashao" would surely violate the neck of the bull.

This is called real people not showing their faces, and showing their faces is not real.

Otherwise, how can a master who is not hypocritical be called a master?
"Look at you, why did you let me play with spoons? Did you say we are familiar with each other just now? I said, do you have the skills, how can I not know?" Ning Weimin's attitude remained calm as before, following his own ideas Good words start the routine.

"Although I don't know why a character like you works in the 'Polar Bear' cafeteria. I don't dare to inquire about your past, but I can see your cooking skills and the knowledge in your belly. Hear it with your ears, eat it with your mouth, and know it in your heart.”

"Although you are not well-known, your culinary skills are definitely at the master level. It's no longer a question of not being inferior to anyone else. No one can match you. You have to show some superficiality, enough to imitate the famous chefs in the restaurant. "

"Frankly speaking, Fangshan in Beihai and Tingli Pavilion in the Summer Palace have actually sent chefs to support us. But their dishes are not fancy. Palace dishes are more of a show. In addition to the expensive ingredients, the presentation It looks good, but the taste is not satisfactory."

"My master once said that there was this problem in the Fangshan before liberation. The taste of the dishes is similar, and the food is just a ostentation. All the dishes are sold with high-sounding appearance. The outstanding ones are just the appearance. Now the situation seems to be better, but not It's very limited. What's missing? It's just the kind of fire and delicate dishes you cook."

"I'm not afraid to tell you my shortcomings. According to my master, the restaurant I'm working on now is just a two-story building because it's only part of the investment in the early stage. It's a bit of a misnomer to call it a restaurant. If there are not a few hot dishes and delicate dishes, there is no way to attract repeat customers and make a name for yourself!"

"If I can't even do such a small business, the partner will have to change and take me down. Then my plan to use Tiantan Beishenchu ​​to run a real restaurant will be ruined. I really want to do something Come here! I don’t want to be ashamed and make people laugh..."

Ning Weimin said sincerely.

He is serious about things in the market.

He knows that "Zhang Dashao" is the most popular, so if you give him a few words of flattery, you will never get off the fight
But if you want to fight with him, you will be sure.

Sure enough, these words made "Zhang Dashao" look much better, and he nodded frequently.

"Young man, you must have such a heart."

"Your master is a connoisseur. If you have a chance, please invite me here. Let's meet and let him taste my dishes."

So Ning Weimin agreed, and at the same time struck while the iron was hot, and began to play the card of national righteousness.

"That's really good. My master and you must be able to chat. At least one thing he is similar to you is that he grits his teeth with hatred when he mentions the little devil. In the past when Beiping was occupied, the old man stayed here for eight years. Therefore, So far, he doesn’t use Toyo Electric. When I buy washing machines, TVs, and refrigerators for him, he has to buy domestic products. Tell me that you don’t have to worry about poor quality.

"I don't want to hide it from you. I set up this restaurant to earn money from the Japanese. My master opposed it at first, but later supported it. It's because my intention was to use the 'Manchu Banquet' as a gimmick. So that all the money from the little devils would be taken from They took it out of their pockets to support the economic construction of our country."

"Look at what's going on outside now! The society is full of 'hari'... ah, that is, people who pursue oriental goods. What about the little devils, they can make a lot of money with their household appliances. We can't have anything No progress? So my purpose is to use our food culture to 'slay' the Japanese who come to us for tourism, at least one table of banquets for him a color TV."

"But tell me, little devils, little devils, they are all ghosts and ghosts. In reality, they are not the second fools who steal landmines in the movie, otherwise they would not be so advanced. Isn't it? Then let's not show some real skills, It won’t work if you can’t keep them down. So I sincerely beg you to help me, don’t let me achieve nothing with my ambitions.”

"Let's not say anything. If you are willing, you can make an offer. I will never counter-offer. To create a brand and become famous, I will rely on you. I am like a mirror in my heart. As long as you are willing to help me, I will The business will definitely stand.”

"I know that a person with great ability like you doesn't value money much anymore. I absolutely dare not say the word 'hire', but I sincerely ask you to fulfill me personally. In addition, I can guarantee that the back chef No one can beat you, do you think it will work?"

"Old man, it's a pity that your skills are buried. No matter how good your skills are, you have to use them to show their value. A famous chef is like a flower. No matter how well it blooms, it will always wither. After all, the passage of time is irreversible. One day I will be old..."

I have to say that Ning Weimin is really a good student of Kang Shude.

The two tricks of "painting cakes" and "dividing benefits" are not only at his fingertips now, but also use them fluently.

He even knows how to use high-sounding and noble words to whitewash the essence of profit-seeking.

No, without making a fuss, "Zhang Dashao" was covered inside.

What else does this say?
There are inside and outside, friendship, and national righteousness, Ning Weimin has almost thought of everything.

No matter how you look at it, "Zhang Dashao" has no reason to refuse.

So...Master Zhang, hurry up and nod your head!

But who would have imagined it, even if the words are all about this, Ning Weimin applauds himself in his heart.

But in fact, things backfired, and in the end, "Zhang Dashao" still froze his head.

"We have a good relationship, and I'm not obsessed with it. Since you treat me like a sweetheart, why should I ride a camel instead of a horse? I haven't gotten to this point yet."

"Your words are also justified. Anyway, my craftsmanship is not enough, so I have to go to 'Eight Treasures Mountain' with me in the future. If I can show off to you and help the country earn some foreign exchange, then I will be worthy of me. own craft."

"But the problem is, I'm in debt. It's not a matter of money, but a debt of favor. Director Yang of the 'Polar Bear' treats me well. It can even be said that he is kind to me. Because it is When I was in the most difficult time, people took me in. Then I can't just climb another branch."

"Let me tell you this, I am the only one who resigns from me. It is absolutely impossible for me to come up with the word 'go' myself. Do you understand? People have to talk about their conscience, which is the basic of being a human being. So, don't blame me for not By the way, let's stop this matter. Thanks for the love, I'm ashamed. Please take the things away..."

have to!What are you afraid of?
Ning Weimin played the emotional card, and this was what he was most afraid of.

The reason for "Zhang Dashao"'s refusal is simply an irrefutable truth.

What hope is there?

To be honest, I am afraid that no matter who it is, facing such a situation, it will be very disheartening.

It must be to withdraw the army at this point, and have no more thoughts.

But Ning Weimin is not.

Despite the worst, he was also depressed.

But after all, he is a very sophisticated and flexible businessman.

Especially after Kang Shude's training, he has now become a top talent in terms of communication.

Then you will never block the door by yourself, and you will always change the way to save yourself a living.

As the saying goes, stay on the front line in life, so that we can meet each other in the future.

He can also do things on the scene to the extreme, which is precisely his specialty.

"Master Zhang, I want to ask for your help. I respect your high character and exquisite craftsmanship. Your refusal undoubtedly proves this point. Needless to say, I can understand your decision, and I admire you even more from the bottom of my heart."

"However, you still have to accept the things I brought today. Why? Come and see, except for these two buckets of tea, the rest are some ingredients. This bag is shark fin, that is dried abalone, and dried sea cucumber And bird's nest. I can't make these things when I take them back. Isn't that wasteful? Since you are a chef, of course you can't watch this happen, right?"

"Don't feel sorry, you don't take me for nothing, I still have something to ask for. Although you can't go to my place to cook, can you be my consultant? For example, what about your smoked sausage? Teach me how to do it, it is also a special dish of my restaurant. If you have time, you can also go to my place and give me advice. I thank you here in advance, and you must not refuse this matter... "

As he spoke, Ning Weimin suddenly stood up from his chair, and bowed respectfully to "Zhang Dashao".

This immediately made "Zhang Dashao" flustered and said "Don't! Don't!"

This old man, in this life, is the first time he has seen someone give him such a big gift.

What does it mean to be too kind?This is!
Ning Weimin is like a shrewd old Chinese doctor, taking the pulse of "Zhang Dashao".

What he said was a great gift, coupled with a heart of respect for the virtuous and talented.

I was so moved that the old man's blood was racing, and his excitement surged up.

Then things changed slightly.

Although "Zhang Dashao" still couldn't agree to take the spoon, he really couldn't do a big slap in the face, so he didn't care about it at all.
