Chapter 309 [309] Invite you to eat hot pot
The hot pot restaurant was finally named "Jianghu Xiaodian" by Zhang Yang, and its address is in Dunhuang Plaza on the side of Qingshan Lake near the city center.
Qingshan Lake is located far away from the old city. In recent years, the urban area has expanded. As Qingshan Lake is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Qingcheng, the commercial value of the nearby area will naturally be developed.
The villa area on the west side is full of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and cannot be demolished, so the east side of the urban area has been planned to be rebuilt early. The pedestrian street and commercial area have been completed two years ago. Dunhuang Plaza is located by the lake, next to the A Hongmeng experience store and a plaza by the lake to prepare for the light show will definitely be one of the most popular locations in Qingshan Lake and even the entire Qingcheng City in the future.
Although it is still in the process of development, the prospect is good. Today's rent is already very expensive. However, in view of a certain cooperation (skirt) cooperation (belt) relationship, and the publicity of popularity as a guarantee, the general manager here personally made the decision. An area of more than 400 square meters was given at the starting price.
Both Zhang Shouyi and Fang Qianxue were quite uneasy at first, but Zhang Wei was very open-minded and said, "Use my brother's name, our store is popular, and it brings traffic to them. They don't value it." My elder brother is Uncle Lin's son-in-law, so he values his reputation, not a soft meal."
Fang Qianxue was a bit energetic when she was young, but she was **** by life. It was not until last year that she saw her son was promising, and her little sacrifice was irrelevant, and she struggled for a long time before finally making up her mind to resign.
At first, I just wanted to open a small shop and live the life I wanted for two years, but after my son and daughter-in-law got involved, I didn’t know what happened, and the shop became bigger and bigger.
After choosing the address in Dunhuang, she was already in a difficult situation. At first, she was uneasy, and even wanted to back down. Later, Zhang Yang comforted her a few times, especially the sentence that she often said: "If you make a fuss, you will pay for it. I will run for two You can earn money after a commercial performance, and you can pay whatever you want!"
The half-joking words gave her great confidence. Finally, she adjusted her mentality little by little and devoted herself wholeheartedly. She had no experience and started everything from scratch. She had no time to recharge and study, so she had to do everything as much as possible. Be careful and conscientious, for fear that something unexpected will lead to losses later.
In the past six months, there is no doubt that I am more tired at school than before, but my mood and spirit are better. There is a kind of joy of finding value as an individual other than being a parent.
When they came to Dunhuang Square, Zhang Yang and the others entered through the working passage, which was also a separate elevator, which did not attract many people's attention, and went straight to the fourth floor.
However, most of the restaurants on the fourth floor are already open for business. Although the entire commercial area has not gathered too many people, there are still some customers on this floor, especially a girl who accidentally turned around and saw Zhang Yang and Lin Yiran. , and yelled: "Ah—Zhang Yang! Lin Yiran!"
So no matter whether they were finished eating, strolling around, or the staff standing at the door of other stores to greet customers, they all turned their heads and looked over.
Zhang Yang was also taken aback, he quickly smiled and waved in greeting, and then dragged Lin Yiran into his store.
"Is it publicity?"
"Yes, I saw it! Lin Yiran, it seems that his parents..."
"Ah—I didn't even see it clearly!"
"Are they here to eat too?"
"I seem to have heard that Zhang Yang or Zhang Yang's parents opened a store here... I thought it was a lie, but it seems true!"
"It seems to be over there... why don't you go and have a look!"
Xu Nuo, Qian Yu, Wang Jiaying, and Feng Yingying walked around for a long time, and just followed the signs to the fourth floor to find a restaurant to eat. As soon as they stepped off the escalator, they felt that something seemed to be going on ahead.
"They seem to be talking about Zhang Yang?"
Feng Yingying had good ears, heard some people's words, saw many people running forward, and said to Xu Nuo and them with some doubts.
"impossible?"
Qian Yu immediately questioned, "Why did Zhang Yang come here?"
"That's hard to say."
Xu Nuo, as an old fan, immediately made a reasonable analysis, "Didn't Zhang Yang go to the mall to pick up Lin Yiran before, this is not the first time..."
Wang Jiaying glanced to the side, and saw a staff member standing in front of a fish farm to greet guests, she pointed there, and asked, "Hello, let me ask... is there anything going on over there?"
The clerk was also a young girl, who was also looking over there. Hearing Wang Jiaying's question, she replied with a smile: "Zhang Yang opened a shop there, so he should come and have a look."
"Really flamboyant?"
Promised them to be overjoyed, but they didn't expect to meet them when they were walking around. Just as they were about to run over, the clerk continued: "Zhang Yang's shop hasn't opened yet. If you want to eat, why don't you come and see us?"
"Let's go to see people first, and come later!"
Promised that they would have nothing to eat at the moment, thanked them and ran over quickly.
The location of Zhang Yang's store is not very good, it is located at the southernmost end of the fourth floor, and the door is open to the outside, promised them to follow the couple in front through a door, turn right along the corridor, and suddenly feel a wide view.
This Dunhuang Plaza was originally built on the lake, and there is no side building to block this end. Through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the vast lake, the green mountains and forests, and a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery.
Five or six meters ahead, I saw about a dozen people standing in front of a store. The style of this store was a bit out of place with the entire modern shopping mall. There were two red lanterns hanging above the door, and a wooden plaque in the middle read There are two big characters in Xingkai: Jianghu.
There are two other small characters in the lower right corner of the word "湖": Xiaodian
Wang Jiaying was reading the words, but Xu Nuo whispered: "Zhang Yang wrote it!"
She glanced to the side again, and saw the word "Zhang Yang" vertically written on the far corner of the plaque, which was not conspicuous, and it would be easy to ignore if you didn't pay attention.
"Really flamboyant?"
Qian Yu still feels a little strange, when did Zhang Yang open the store? And it happened by such a coincidence?
Xu Nuo is already looking at the couplets on both sides of the front door. She knows almost nothing about calligraphy, but she vaguely recognizes the handwriting that seems to be Zhang Yang. The upper and lower couplets seem to be written like two lines of poetry:
Cheering place around the stove, all kinds of flavors melt in the small cauldron
Wang Jiaying also saw it at this time, read it in a low voice, and then asked with some uncertainty: "Is this hot pot?"
Xu Nuo shook his head, moved forward, looked inside through the people in front of the door, saw the antique decoration style, simple and elegant, seemed to be divided into several areas, and there were pavilions, not quite like a hot pot restaurant, but There are seats, which look quite novel.
"It's more like the ancient style?" Qian Yu said in a low voice.
"It's pretty pretty."
In front of the door stood a sign saying "This store is not yet open, temporarily closed." The people who followed were curiously looking inside the door, but they didn't go in.
Probably someone inside noticed the movement at the door, and a young waitress walked over with an apologetic expression: "Sorry, we are still in preparation, and we are temporarily closed."
A boy in front asked, "When will it open?"
"It should be this month, the exact date is still waiting for the boss to decide."
"Is Zhang Yang the boss?"
"Uh…"
The pretty-looking waitress shook her head with a smile, and said apologetically, "It's not convenient for me to say that." Then she said: "If you want to eat, you might as well look elsewhere."
A group of people looked at each other, some took the lead to leave, some tapped the door plaque with their mobile phones, and some just came over, so the waitress said what she had just said again, and then said it a third time, and finally no one came.
However, there were still people standing at the door, and the beautiful waitress stood there waiting. Seeing that the rest of the dozen or so people were still standing still, she did not leave, but smiled helplessly: "It's really not open, You don't have to wait any longer."
Xu Nuo was about to speak when someone said, "Is Zhang Yang there? Can we wait for him here?"
Xu Nuo also thought the same way, but after hearing people say it, she felt that it was not good, and it meant blocking the door to prevent Zhang Yang from leaving. Wang Jiaying looked at her and obviously felt the same way, and said in a low voice: "Forget it, Zhang Yang yesterday Just finished the concert, don't be like this..."
When she said this, the others also felt a little embarrassed. Looking at each other, they all hesitated to leave, but they were reluctant.
At this time, basically as long as someone takes the lead, the others will follow and leave. Although Xu Nuo doesn't want to leave, but he wants to be rational and restrained, he is still going to take the lead to leave. As soon as he turned around, the waiter seemed to hesitate and said: "I Go ask."
Hesitating to give the idol private time, the group of people who were about to leave were startled when they heard the words, and then immediately stood firm, and saw the waitress turned around and disappeared.
"Shall I go?"
Wang Jiaying spoke again, Xu Nuo hesitated and said, "Wait a little longer."
Beside them was a couple who looked like students. The boy persuaded in a low voice: "Forget it, people come and take a look, we are like this... next time Zhang Yang will not dare to come here."
The girl whose hand was held by him had a troubled expression on her face, but she still pouted. She was dragged by her boyfriend and turned away. Seeing this, the other two boys hesitated, then turned and followed.
The girl was being pulled by her boyfriend, but she still did not forget to look back step by step, as if hoping that Zhang Yang would be able to...
"what!"
As soon as she took the third step, her eyes suddenly opened wide. Amidst the same exclamation of surprise from the others, she pulled her boyfriend back. The boy was startled before he knew what was going on. She had already been dragged over by her girlfriend. One of them was over 1.8 meters tall, and the other was over 1.6 meters tall. I don't know where she got the strength from.
"Shh! Shhh!"
Zhang Yang who had just walked over quickly gestured to them to be quiet and not to make such a big noise, promising that they would almost jump up in excitement, but he immediately restrained his emotions and quieted down.
Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that the appearance of being a thief would damage his image, so he straightened his back, smiled, and asked in a low voice: "Is there any food? I invite you to eat hot pot."
"Yes! Yes!"
The doorway immediately responded with a series of voices, promised to answer, and walked inside, almost stunned by the huge surprise, but still heard a boy whispering, "Even if you have eaten, you haven't eaten!"
She pursed the corners of her mouth, almost couldn't help laughing out loud, and quickly stopped, and followed in brisk steps with Wang Jiaying, Feng Yingying, and Qian Yu.
