Chapter 377 Opening Day

"That's right. Fengze Garden has always been able to suppress Cuihua Tower because of Master Wang. Now that Master Wang has left, it is a good opportunity for Cuihua Tower to overtake it."

Master Xu's eyes sparkled and he clenched his fists.

Cuihualou has been suppressed by Fengzeyuan for so long and has been the second-best Shandong cuisine restaurant in the city for so many years, ranking below Fengzeyuan.

Now that Master Wang has left Fengze Garden, Master Xu has decided to work hard to make Cuihualou surpass Fengze Garden and become the ceiling of Shandong cuisine in Beijing, so that they can be proud of it.

……

Tianfu Shifang Restaurant is the ceiling of Sichuan cuisine in Beijing.

Wang Jianye is very familiar with Tianfu Shifang Hotel's chef Qian, head chef Gao Qianjin, and head chef Li Hui.

At the beginning, Wang Jianye made a bet with Tianfu Food House's chef Gao Qianjin and won a list of purchasing channels for authentic Sichuan cuisine condiments from him, so that Wang Jianye could easily obtain authentic condiments when cooking Sichuan cuisine in the future.

Over the years, Wang Jianye has never stopped communicating with these purchasing channels, and often purchases some condiments from them. Although the channels have been changing, Wang Jianye has always been able to contact them.

Wang Jianye is planning to open a new restaurant that will serve Sichuan cuisine, so the supply channels of these Sichuan cuisine condiments will come in handy.

"Master Li, Master Wang's new restaurant has just opened. Let's go take a look together."

Gao Qianjin found Li Hui to discuss it.

Li Hui had no objection. When he was young, he was arrogant and wanted to compete with Master Wang. But later he learned his lesson and knew that he would never be able to surpass Master Wang's level in his lifetime, so he became calm.

"I heard that the new restaurant opened by Master Wang will include all eight major cuisines, and will also serve Sichuan cuisine. If this happens, our Tianfu Food House will have a competitor."

Gao Qianjin talked about what was worrying him.

Over the past twenty years, Wang Jianye has published many Sichuan cuisine cookbooks. No one would underestimate his level of recipe making.

If the restaurant opened this time serves Sichuan cuisine, Gao Qianjin is worried that it will affect Tianfu Shifang's position as the top Sichuan cuisine restaurant in Beijing.

"Master Gao, don't worry. Master Wang's Sichuan cooking skills are much better than those of our Tianfu Food House chefs, but his apprentices may not be as good.
Master Wang has become the boss of the restaurant. He will not be the main chef of the restaurant. He will not cook Sichuan dishes ordered by customers. Basically, it should be cooked by Master Wang's apprentices.

The level of his disciples is definitely not that high, and it cannot affect the status of our Tianfu Food House as the top Sichuan cuisine restaurant."

Li Hui's analysis is very logical.

Gao Qianjin felt that what he said made sense, so he felt relieved.

As long as Master Wang’s new restaurant opens, it won’t affect Tianfu Food House’s business.

……

The news that all Wang's restaurants would open on June 6th was reported in the newspapers under Wang Jianye's arrangement.

Wang Jianye, the cooking master, is very famous. Most restaurant chefs have a cookbook published by Wang Jianye to study.

Some ordinary people also bought the cookbooks published by Wang Jianye to learn new cooking techniques.

The fancy sedan was carried by everyone, and all major hotels were willing to send people to participate in the opening ceremony of all Wang's hotels.

When some ordinary people heard about this, they were willing to try the cooking at Wang Jianye's newly opened restaurant and wanted to come and support him.

Naturally, this news also spread to the courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. After all, Wang Jianye had lived here before, and Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu were employees of Wang Jianye’s newly opened restaurant, so they knew about it earlier than most people.

Yan Fugui in the front yard discussed the matter with Yan Jiecheng and his wife who had returned home.

"Did you know that Wang Jianye was going to open a restaurant?"

"Hey, Dad, who doesn't know about this? As soon as we came back, we met Xu Damao who told us that Wang Jianye's new restaurant was opening and he wanted to join in the fun." Yan Jiecheng followed Yan Fugui and said. Seeing that Yan Jiecheng knew about this, Yan Fugui narrowed his eyes and continued, "Are you going to go? I heard that Wang Jianye's restaurant had an event on the opening day, and you can get a 40% discount if you order eight dishes or more.
We are Wang Jianye's neighbors, and it's the first day of the opening. If we go to show our support, Wang Jianye will definitely give us a discount. Wang Jianye may even feel embarrassed to accept the money.

After all, we have been neighbors for many years. Would he be embarrassed to charge me for supporting him? Don’t you think this is reasonable?”

Yan Fugui’s calculations were clear.

Yu Li listened with disgust and said nothing.

Yan Jiecheng beside him sighed and said, "Dad, if you want to go, just go with mom. Why are you talking to us? We still have to look after the store and don't have time to go."

Yu Li nodded in agreement: "Yes, we won't go. Mom and Dad, you can go if you want."

Didn't I want to go alone? I was afraid that Wang Jianye would charge me, so I took you with me and let you pay... Yan Fugui was a little disappointed.

You won’t be poor if you have enough food and clothes, but you will be poor if you don’t plan well.

Yan Fugui has been thinking about this principle and following it all his life. He even schemed against his own children, not to mention Wang Jianye.

……

The disaster lasted for a thousand years. Jia Zhang is nearly seventy years old and is still alive.

After hearing from her daughter-in-law Qin Huairu that Wang Jianye's restaurant was about to open, Jia Zhang wanted Qin Huairu, the head waiter of the restaurant, to bring back some food from Wang Jianye's restaurant.

After all, Qin Huairu is the head chef, so she definitely has this right.

Jia Zhang just wanted to have a bite of food.

But Qin Huairu did not agree to her and refused immediately.

However, Jia Zhang only dared to grumble on the sidelines and did not dare to mention the matter directly, thus angering her powerful daughter-in-law.

Qin Huairu pretended not to hear and let Jia Zhangshi talk about it.

"Dongxu, Qin Huairu is the head waitress of the hotel. If I go to Wang Jianye's restaurant to eat, Qin Huairu won't charge me, right?"

After Qin Huairu left, Jia Zhang talked to Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu was also annoyed with his mother, who did nothing all day and was always making random guesses and calculations.

"Mom, don't go and embarrass yourself. Qin Huairu will definitely not agree."

Jia Dongxu said helplessly.

He was a weak person, and after Qin Huairu became strong, he didn't dare to bully her, so he could only put in the wrong as a mother and let her stay quiet.

Jia Zhang murmured in disdain, criticizing Jia Dongxu for being useless, Qin Huairu for being disrespectful to her mother-in-law, and muttering that Wang Jianye, that bastard, would have his restaurant closed down sooner or later.

……

80 6 Month 6 Day.

The weather is fine today. The restaurant at No. 9 South Xinhua Street is decorated with lights and red carpets. A red silk cloth hangs on the plaque, and large flower baskets are placed on both sides.

A lot of people gathered at the entrance of the hotel, including Wang Jianye, his disciples, Wang Jianye's family, Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu, Lou Xiao'e, Chen Xueru, Elena, Xu Huizhen, Cai Quanwu, Cao Xiaodong, Feng Qingjie, Zhou Qingde, Chai Wenshan, Jiang Rongqing and his son, Gao Qianjin, Li Hui, Master Xu, Manager Zhang, and representatives from other major hotels in the city.

Today, Wang Jianye's new restaurant opened. Everyone who knows Wang Jianye or wants to know him came here to join in the fun. (End of this chapter)
