Chapter 744 Expansion by chance

"Hmm~? Tell me?"

Chu Yunfeng became interested immediately. Wang Xiaoguang would come to the store to eat every day almost as soon as Yipin opened the door, and would chat with him every time.

Judging from the long-term contact with him, he is a very stable person and will not talk nonsense, so Chu Yunfeng is also very curious about what kind of solution he will have.

“I have eaten at the Michelin three-star restaurant in Shanghai. I thought it was in a very upscale area and it was a very atmospheric restaurant.

But after I made the reservation, I realized that it was completely different from what I imagined. Not only was it not located in the CBD, but it also didn't have a high-end restaurant.

Do you know how I got there in the end?
All the people who made reservations gathered at No. 18 on the Bund, and then a car took everyone there, and they didn't even know where they were going.

The commercial vehicle made a lot of twists and turns, and after about 20 minutes it took us to the entrance of a warehouse.

This is a small alley, next to a dilapidated old factory, everything looks so unbelievable.

I immediately wondered if I had been trafficked. This was not a meal, but someone who had trafficked me here for organ trafficking, right?
Am I going to lie on a cold bed and have something cut out with a scalpel soon?

That was my first thought at the time. "

"Pfft~!"

Wang Xiaoguang's words made Tao Kailun and Zhou Tianjun, who were standing beside him, couldn't help it and burst into laughter. It seemed that these two people had gone to eat and felt "sympathy" for Wang Xiaoguang's "experience".

"Don't laugh, I know you two have been there, but think about it, there are only three packages in total, 4000, 6000 and 8888.

You still need to book three months in advance to get an appointment. I waited for three months and spent 8888. Is this why I came to such a shabby place?"

Wang Xiaoguang was still a little speechless when he spoke at this time, which made the two swordsmen laugh so hard that they fell forward and backward.

“After I went in with a feeling of trepidation, I discovered that there is something special inside. In fact, it was renovated using a warehouse. In the middle of the warehouse is a long table with 10 chairs.

There are several projectors and a lot of spotlights above the head. There are many projected pictures on the surrounding walls, and there is a mysterious fragrance permeating the air.

Then the sense of experience comes out. The host of the dinner will take you to your seat. What makes you feel a noble experience is that each person has his or her own nameplate in front of the seat.

These nameplates are all projected with lights, which impressed me deeply and felt very good. All the previous unpleasantness disappeared.

Then it got down to business. The chef came out to meet everyone and introduced tonight's dishes, which gave everyone a sense of ceremony and participation.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly rose, and people unknowingly entered into the anticipation of tasting delicious food.

But I have no impression of many of the dishes I have tasted before, although when each dish comes out, the relevant dish name will be displayed on the screen.

I was constantly surprised by the unique tableware, images, music, and smells it paired with each dish.

After 4 hours of experience, my biggest feeling is that the whole dining process is full of fun and imagination, and it maintains a sense of mystery throughout.

So the main impression is all about visual enjoyment, but it doesn't have a big impact on the taste. The ingredients and techniques used in the dishes are a bit conservative.

The impact is that now when I recall what I ate that night, there is only one dish that has a slight impression on me, and this is because of its sweet and sour taste that left a lasting impression on me.

But the rest of the dishes really left me with a lack of taste memory.

Sorry, I have said so much but I have not yet touched on the topic. Actually, what I want to say is that there is also an underground warehouse under my hotel, and it is quite large.

It can be used as a dining place for a one-course meal. Although it will not completely copy the design of the restaurant in Magic City, there should be no problem in designing your own Chinese style.

Oh, by the way, my warehouse has a fire escape, and you don’t have to go around this street. You can go down directly from the alley opposite.

There is a road below that is connected, and the dishes can be delivered directly, or it can be directly separated from the kitchen inside, do you want to go and see it? "

Wang Xiaoguang previously revealed that his experience at a three-star Michelin restaurant attracted the attention of many guests, who were all curious about his dining experience.

Only then did I understand that he actually threw out a king bomb in the end. If Boss Chu took a fancy to this warehouse, it would be terrible if it was modified.

Not only has the dining experience been improved, but it can also accommodate more guests, so that everyone can enjoy the charm of the one-course meal.

"Boss Chu, although I don't know what kind of work you asked us to do in the store, we have thought about it. Even washing dishes is nothing, and we are willing to admit defeat.

But you must consider Boss Wang’s proposal. It is indeed a very good suggestion and a very mature solution. "

Tao Kailun and Wang Xiaoguang came here in the morning, and they had already expected to work in the store.

"He is right. The two of us have eaten at that restaurant. As Boss Wang said, the visual experience is greater than the dining experience.

After tasting the dishes in the store yesterday, Karen and I were very amazed. We couldn't believe what kind of ultimate taste experience the exquisite set meal you made would be.

If you add some wonderful visual experience, I am sure that your set meal will definitely reach the top of Asia's top restaurants, bar none.

Please trust our judgment and be sure to check it out. "

Zhou Tianjun said sincerely, which made the customers in the store agree. They all said that it would be fine to eat later, and everyone could accompany him to watch.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

After Wang Xiaoguang talked about his dining experience and proposed this idea, Chu Yunfeng had already decided on the idea of ​​​​renovation.

It is true that the location and size of Yipin greatly restricts the dining experience of the set menu, and it can only accommodate too few guests at a time.

The most important thing is that the environment in the store needs to be modified every day. It is also very troublesome to move these tables and chairs around.

Therefore, Wang Xiaoguang's suggestion was simply a timely help, letting him sigh at his good luck. Someone would give him a pillow when he felt sleepy.

"Great, let's go, let's go right away, just take the nearest road, it's on the opposite side."

Wang Xiaoguang became excited immediately after seeing Chu Yunfeng agree. He immediately took out the key and started leading the way.

"Sorry, wait a moment, I'll go take a look and come back."

Chu Yunfeng naturally wanted to say sorry for disrupting the rhythm of everyone's meal, and the guests who lined up immediately waved their hands to express that they didn't mind, and even followed behind Chu Yunfeng to go and have a look together.

People queuing outside were still looking down at their phones. Suddenly, someone noticed that the boss came out. Isn't he not cooking delicious food today?
"Look, look, what's going on ahead?"

Following someone's prompt, the lowered party members all saw Chu Yunfeng, who was surrounded and walked towards an alleyway on the opposite side.

"What happened? Why did Boss Chu run away?"

"I don't know. Is it going to be closed today?"

"No, I didn't come yesterday because I had something to do. I finally found the opportunity to come over for dinner today. Do you need to be so cruel?"

"Let's go over there and see what's going on?"

The power of people eating melons is endless. Even the surrounding shop owners were alerted and ran out to check after hearing the commotion.

Boss Xiao Mao was making desserts. After seeing this scene, he quickly put down his work and followed curiously.

Wang Xiaoguang walked in front, and after passing through the alley, he came to a gate. This gate was a bit strange at first glance, because it was not only larger than the other surrounding gates, but also existed alone.

"This is it. There is a passage from here. You don't have to cross the street. You can go directly to the bottom of the building, which is also the downstairs of my hotel."

After opening the door, everyone followed him and walked in. As he said, it was the stairs leading down.

After going down the stairs, there is a passage, and in front of the passage is a large iron door.

"The ventilation here is pretty good, and there's no weird smell at all."

Hu Yue first discovered the difference after coming in. Generally speaking, underground warehouses are often affected by these effects. In addition to moisture, ventilation conditions are often very poor.

"You're right. I originally planned to use this warehouse as a special hotel room, but later I gave up because I couldn't get approval.

Later, it was used as a utility room, but even so, less than 1/10 of the space was used for stacking debris, and it has been unused until now.

Not only is the ventilation and lighting here good, but there are also several fire exits, so safety is very guaranteed. "

After opening the second iron door, Chu Yunfeng saw the whole warehouse for the first time. It was indeed very big, and the lighting was good. Not only did it have a fire exit, but there was really no strange smell.

"How's it going, Chu."

When Wang Xiaoguang was about to ask Chu Yunfeng how he felt, he was interrupted immediately by Chu Yunfeng: "It's pretty good. Let's just settle it. Let's discuss the rent?"

"Ah~?

uh~?

What did you say? "

Not only Wang Xiaoguang was stunned, but also the people behind who were blocked at the door. At this time, only Chu Yunfeng, Guo Kui and Hu Yue could see the whole view of the warehouse.

The three of them were blocking the door, and the people behind them hadn't had a chance to go in, and they didn't even have a chance to take a look.

Boss Chu decided immediately?
Let me go, is this a little too fast?
Is it a little too casual?

For a while, everyone still hadn't fully digested the information they heard, but Boss Chu seemed to agree?

This is a good thing! ! !

"You agree?"

Wang Xiaoguang seemed to be disrupted by Chu Yunfeng's decisiveness. He was originally going to take him in to have a good look and then explain it to him in detail. How could he have expected that it would be decided so quickly?
"Of course I agree. Let's talk about the rent. Let's rent it long-term. How much does it cost per month?"

Chu Yunfeng also thought about the long term. Such a spacious place and very close to his shop was simply one of a kind.

Oh, no, it’s not an exaggeration to describe it as one out of ten. It’s useless to others, but it’s like a gold mine to me.

"Forget about the rent. I'm your biggest fan. This warehouse is of no use to me. If I leave it to you, it will make the best use of it and make it convenient for many people."

Wang Xiaoguang admires Chu Yunfeng's cooking skills very much. He especially likes to eat the three tofu dishes in the restaurant. He must eat one of them every day. It is not an exaggeration to call him an iron fan.

"That's not okay. If you don't want the rent, I won't rent it. If you agree, we can sign a 10-year lease at one time, but the rent must be paid."

Chu Yunfeng rejected Wang Xiaoguang's kindness. Although he knew that he really wanted to use it for free, he couldn't take advantage of it. It was neither reasonable nor reasonable.

"Uh~! Well, let's give it a 7% discount on the market price. This can be considered a little bit of appreciation for a die-hard fan like me, how about it?"

Wang Xiaoguang also understood Chu Yunfeng's persistence, but he was a die-hard fan after all, so a 7% discount would be able to highlight his own feelings.

"Okay, then I will accept your kindness and prepare the contract. I will sign it when I get it to the store.

In order to thank you for your support, we will give you a free set of Yipin every month in the future to express our gratitude for your support. "

Chu Yunfeng reciprocated the favor, which was what he meant, but he didn't expect that the other guests who squeezed in would immediately feel sour.

"Let me go, Boss Wang, you are so lucky. Why don't I have a warehouse like yours?"

"Grandma, you can eat a one-course meal for free every month, and you don't need to make a reservation. This is not a bad luck!"

"It's sour, it's sour, Boss Wang, your warehouse can be regarded as a "hereditary title". Do you want to consider selling this title?"

Hearing that someone was competing for the quota of the set meal that he had not yet warmed up, Wang Xiaoguang immediately refused sternly: "What a beautiful idea, I won't sell it for any price, I want to eat it myself.

Thank you, Boss Chu. Speaking of which, I took advantage. "

Wang Xiaoguang knew very well how rare this quota was, and the price of this set meal was definitely expensive, at least much more expensive than the three-star restaurant in Shanghai.

Because just from the cost of the ingredients, we know that it is much higher than that one. Coupled with Chu Yunfeng's cooking skills, we can naturally judge the price of this set meal.

So after calculating it this way, the [-]% discount I got was definitely not as good as the feedback Chu Yunfeng gave me.

"No way. If you hadn't provided such a good place, I would have been lost."

Every store on Kuixinglou Street is very expensive. I originally planned to rent or buy some larger storefronts nearby, but I gave up immediately after asking about them.

The reason is that no one is selling it at all, and there are no vacant storefronts for rent. The surrounding area is very popular, so naturally the storefronts are very popular.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, then I'll go back and prepare the contract first?"

Wang Xiaoguang rubbed his hands with excitement on his face.

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

After nodding, Chu Yunfeng returned to the first level and happened to meet the guy who brought the liquid nitrogen, so he immediately happily said to Hu Yue: "Let's start quickly. Let's make molecular cuisine for ice cream first."

"Well, no problem, we really need to hurry up."

With a good venue, Hu Yue seemed to be more motivated and immediately started preparing relevant ingredients.

"Oh, by the way, and you two, your job today is to eat, and then give me feedback on your experience."

Seeing the two swords coming together to serve the guests, Chu Yunfeng immediately assigned them a task.

"What? Our job is to eat?

Is it to eat the delicious food you cooked?

Aren't you carrying dishes and washing dishes? "

The two of them immediately started asking questions excitedly.
