Plug-in Players In Marvel
EP Thirty-Four. Ask for Advice
For Stark, the sale of a few million dollars is just an insignificant matter.
But for Shi Xiaolei's family, buying a new house is a very important event.
For such an important matter, Stark deliberately spared time to help, and also played an extremely important role in promoting and guiding the process. It is reasonable to give him a good meal.
In this way, in order to thank Stark, Shi Xiaolei specially called the uncle of the neighbor he met before, and asked him to help clean up the table. A top chef who has participated in the preparation of state banquets. Because he was getting old and his only son was working in a big Wall Street company, he was reluctant to let his son quit such a well-paid job, so the uncle took the initiative to come to the United States and settled in Chinatown, which is very close to Wall Street.
I have accumulated a lot of savings in the past years, and my son does not need to subsidize it 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 have nothing to do after eating, the uncle's daily life is full of leisure, walking birds, teasing dogs, playing chess and cards, except occasionally helping to mediate with the neighbors Disputes, basically every day is spent in fun.
However, after working as a cook for so many years, he has already formed a habit, and it doesn't mean that he can let go of it just by letting go.
Sometimes, the uncle will also invite three or five friends to cook a few dishes, and in the name of having a meal to entertain guests, let himself have a good time and practice his hands.
As for why Shi Xiaolei knew this uncle, it's a long story.
At that time, Shi Xiaolei had just arrived, and his relationship with fellow villagers was not familiar enough.
Not only no contacts, but no money. Well, to be precise, it should be before he was introduced to fight black boxing. In short, in the first week or two, Shi Xiaolei was still a poor guy with no money and no connections.
The status of a fellow villager alone is obviously not enough to make the landlord give in and rent the storefront. Therefore, in order to save money, Shi Xiaolei had no choice but to do odd jobs first, from washing dishes, to repairing water pipes and sewers, to moving houses and installing home appliances, etc., he would not refuse any work that could bring money.
Not to mention how much money he earned, the key is his unrestrained and enthusiastic attitude... In just one week, Shi Xiaolei has built up a good reputation in the hearts of fellow villagers, and initially established a good impression.
It was precisely because of this good impression that when they went to the uncle's house to help repair the ceiling one day, the two hooked up - worried that Shi Xiaolei would fall off the ladder, the uncle stood underneath and supported the ladder. I was a little bored at leisure, so the uncle casually started a routine with him. When I heard that Shi Xiaolei was saving money, he wanted to open a small restaurant. The uncle who has been a cook for decades suddenly became interested...
With "Chinese food" as the link, the old and the young have formed friendship. After Shi Xiaolei made some money by doing black boxing and opened that small shop, the uncle would occasionally come to sit in the shop, and if he was in a good mood, he would even go to the back kitchen to give Shi Xiaolei some advice. Sentence reveals one's hand.
Although the menu in Shi Xiaolei's restaurant is very simple, just relying on fried rice and fried noodles can't let the uncle show his strength, and it won't cause a situation of "the state banquet chef is on the stove, which leads to a large increase in customer flow", but there is one thing to say, the uncle's The power of guidance cannot be ignored.
It doesn't mean that you have worked in a restaurant before time travelling, and even learned the craft from the cooks on the construction site, so you can open a restaurant smoothly. Some things seem very simple, but when you really do it, you will know how many difficulties there are.
The flaws in the pointing skills are second to none. If it weren’t for the uncle’s help in advance, pointing out some blind spots that are often overlooked in the operation, and imparting various tips... Cheap and large quantities are the biggest advantage of attracting customers and laying a solid foundation for revenue. The foundation has been laid, but the various practical skills taught by the uncle are the optimization of the entire structure. To be honest, the 'house' was not crooked or collapsed, and the uncle really contributed a lot.
That's a bit of a stretch.
When calling the uncle this time, apart from asking him to cook an authentic Chinese meal to thank Stark, Shi Xiaolei also had another idea.
With the selection of a new home, the next step is to start thinking about moving and redecorating the storefront.
Moving is easy to say, it's nothing more than spending some time shopping for new furniture and putting in a little effort to move things you don't want to throw away.
The key is the storefront.
The business area has expanded and the decoration has been upgraded. It can't be the same as before, just selling some fried rice and fried noodles, right?
Serving new dishes is essential. What's more, the reason why Shi Xiaolei thought of upgrading the store was because of the addition of the 'Ark' plug-in, which allowed 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 come in handy at all, and naturally there is no such thing as 'effective use'.
No, Shi Xiaolei came to He Yingshui's house the next day after inviting Stark to eat: "Uncle He, are you at home? I'm Xiaolei."
"Wait a minute." The voice came from far to near, and a few seconds later, Uncle He opened the door from the house and welcomed Shi Xiaolei into the entrance: "Didn't you come here yesterday, why are you here again today? , you boy, come here, what else do you bring?"
"Don't you want to thank me?" Passing over the two bottles of good wine, Shi Xiaolei took the slippers from Uncle He and put them on: "I was lucky to have you do it yesterday. If it's just me, But there is no way to make him eat so satisfactorily."
"As soon as you said this, I remembered it. Someone was at home yesterday, so it's hard to speak." Pointing to the mahogany sofa, he motioned Shi Xiaolei to sit casually. Lao He picked up the cigarette case on the coffee table and lit himself He lit a cigarette: "It's okay, kid. How did you get to know Tony Stark? He's such a big man, and you just own a small restaurant, so you can't do anything."
"This, this...Uncle He, I don't want to lie to you, I really can't say it."
"..." Knowing that Shi Xiaolei used to fight black boxing for a few days in order to save money, now seeing him hemming and hawing, He Yingshui unconsciously thought wrong.
Taking a drag on his cigarette, squinting his eyes at Shi Xiaolei, He Yingshui showed some concern on his face: "Since you can't say it, then I won't ask. Anyway, calm down, kid, live a good life, and don't get involved in those things." Don’t you know the dark things? You’ve been here for so long, you should have felt that we Chinese have always been quite weak here. If you get involved in any trouble, it’s not easy to get out.”
Shi Xiaolei's heart warmed by the mature and prudent warning.
"Uncle, don't worry." Nodding to show that he listened to what he said, Shi Xiaolei rubbed his hands together: "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." Just a moment. I'm going to redecorate the diner and upgrade it a little bit. You're an expert, what should I pay attention to, and the pricing of the fixed menu? In short, you can teach me a lesson?"
"Hehe, that's right. Eat with your skills and live a good life." After flicking the cigarette ash, He Yingshui smiled gratifiedly: "Okay, since you want to make progress, then I, an old man, will give you some advice."
