Cheating players in Marvel
EP034. Request for Guidance
To Stark, a transaction of just a few million dollars was just an inconsequential matter.
But for Shi Xiaolei's family, purchasing a new house is a very important event.
For such an important matter, Stark took the time to help, and also played an extremely important role in promoting and guiding the process. He should be given a good greeting both emotionally and rationally.
In this way, in order to thank Stark, Shi Xiaolei made a special call to the neighbor uncle he had met before and asked him to help tidy up a good table - the uncle had been staying in China and was a
A top chef who once participated in the preparation of a state banquet. Because he was getting older and his only son was working in a large company on Wall Street, he was reluctant to let his son quit his job with such a good salary. Therefore, the uncle took the initiative to come to the United States and settled in a house not far from Wall Street.
Very close to Chinatown.
I have saved a lot of savings in the past years, and my son does not need to subsidize himself. After the uncle came to Chinatown, he never thought about finding a place to work... Just like the old men in the village who had nothing to do after eating, in the uncle's daily life
I am full of free time, walking the birds, teasing the dogs, playing chess and cards, and except occasionally helping to mediate neighborhood disputes, basically every day is spent having fun.
However, after working as a cook for so many years, I have already formed a habit, and it is not something I can just let go of.
Sometimes, the uncle would invite a few friends to cook a few dishes, and in the name of entertaining guests, he would have fun and practice his skills.
As for why Shi Xiaolei knew this uncle, it's a long story.
At that time, Shi Xiaolei had just arrived and was not familiar enough with the fellow villagers.
Not only did he have no connections, he also had no money. Well, to be precise, it should be before he was introduced to black boxing. In short, during the first week or two here, Shi Xiaolei was still an unlucky guy who had no money and no connections.
Son.
His status as a fellow villager was obviously not enough to get the landlord to give in and rent the store. So, in order to save money, Shi Xiaolei had to do odd jobs, from washing dishes, to repairing water pipes and sewers, to moving and installing home appliances.
Wait, he will not refuse any job that can bring in money.
Not to mention how much money he earned, the key was his welcoming and enthusiastic attitude... In just one week, Shi Xiaolei had gained a good reputation among fellow villagers and initially established a good impression.
It was precisely because of this good impression that one day when I went to my uncle's house to help repair the ceiling, the two of them got in touch - he was worried that Shi Xiaolei would fall from the ladder, so the uncle kept standing underneath and holding on to the ladder. It was idle.
Being a little bored, the uncle casually started a conversation with him. When he heard that Shi Xiaolei was saving money and wanted to open a small restaurant, the uncle who had been a cook for decades suddenly became interested...
With 'Chinese food' as a bond, an old man and a young man formed a friendship. After Shi Xiaolei made some money from black boxing and opened that small shop, the uncle would occasionally come to the shop and sit there. If he met him, he would be in a good mood.
On days like this, he would even go to the kitchen to give Shi Xiaolei some pointers and show off his skills.
Although the menu in Shi Xiaolei's shop is very simple, fried rice and noodles alone cannot allow the uncle to show his strength and avoid the situation of "the chef at the state banquet will increase the number of customers," but there is one thing to say, the uncle's
The role of guidance cannot be ignored.
It doesn’t mean that if you worked in a restaurant before traveling and learned skills from the chefs on the construction site, you will be able to successfully open a restaurant. Some things may seem simple, but you won’t know until you actually do them.
There are so many difficulties in it.
Pointing out flaws in one’s craftsmanship is secondary. If an uncle hadn’t helped in advance, pointed out some blind spots that are often overlooked in operations, and taught various tips... Cheap and large quantities are the biggest advantage in attracting customers, laying the foundation for revenue.
Although the basics have been laid, the various practical skills taught by the uncle are the optimization of the entire structure. To be honest, the "house" is not built crookedly or collapsed, and the uncle is indeed indispensable.
That's a bit far gone.
When he called his uncle this time, besides wanting to ask him to cook an authentic Chinese meal to thank Stark, Shi Xiaolei also had another idea.
After choosing a new home, it’s time to start thinking about moving and renovating the store.
Moving is easy, it just means spending some time buying new furniture and putting in some effort to move the things you don't want to throw away.
The key lies in the store.
The business area has been expanded and the decoration has been upgraded. You can't just sell some fried rice and noodles as before, right?
It is essential to serve new dishes. What's more, the reason why Shi Xiaolei thought of upgrading the store was because of the plug-in 'Ark', which allows him to obtain various green and natural ingredients in large quantities at no cost. If it is still the same old way, those ingredients will not be available at all.
It can't be put to any use, and naturally it can't be said to be "effectively utilized".
No, the day after inviting Stark to dinner, Shi Xiaolei came to the door of He Yingshui's house again: "Uncle He, are you at home? I'm Xiaolei."
"Wait a minute." The voice came from far away. A few seconds later, Uncle He opened the door from the house and welcomed Shi Xiaolei into the entrance hall: "Didn't you come here yesterday? Why are you here again today? Oh!
, you kid, just come here, do you have anything else to bring?"
"Don't you want to express your gratitude?" Shi Xiaolei handed over the two bottles of good wine he had brought, and took the slippers from Uncle He and put them on: "It was a shame that you were responsible for yesterday's success. If I had only relied on myself,
But there’s no way to make him feel so satisfied with his food.”
"As soon as you mentioned this, I remembered it. I was here yesterday, so it's hard to say anything." He pointed at the mahogany sofa and motioned for Shi Xiaolei to sit wherever he wanted. Lao He picked up the cigarette case placed on the coffee table and lit it for himself.
He lit up a cigarette and said, "You kid, how did you get to know Tony Stark? He's such a big shot, and you just open a small restaurant, so you can't compete with him."
"This, this...Uncle He, I don't want to lie to you, I really can't say it."
"..." Knowing that Shi Xiaolei had boxed for several days in order to save money, and seeing him hesitating now, He Yingshui unconsciously thought wrongly.
Taking a puff of cigarette and looking at Shi Xiaolei with squinted eyes, He Yingshui showed some concern on his face: "Since I can't say anything, I won't ask. In short, you kid, stay calm, live a good life, and don't get involved with those things.
Do you know about shady things? After being here for so long, you must have felt that we Chinese have always been quite weak here. If we get involved in any trouble, it will not be easy to get out."
The mature and solemn warning made Shi Xiaolei feel warm in his heart.
"Uncle, don't worry." Shi Xiaolei nodded to show that he had listened. Shi Xiaolei rubbed his hands: "I will never get involved in those messy things in the future. In fact, I came to you today just to ask for your advice.
Wait. I plan to renovate the small restaurant and upgrade it a little. You are an expert. Is there anything I need to pay attention to? There are also things about menu setting and pricing. In short, can you give me a lesson? "
"Haha, this is the right thing. Eat by your craftsmanship and live a good life." After flicking the ashes from his cigarette, He Yingshui smiled happily: "Okay, since you want to make progress, then I, an old man, will give you some advice."
