After a while, the dishes were served.

The foreign friend first sniffed it gently, and the fragrant aroma made him close his eyes and indulge in it.

His nostrils twitched slightly, as if trying to capture every scent. Then he couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of food and put it in his mouth.

His eyes widened instantly, with a gleam of surprise in his pupils. The corners of his mouth involuntarily rose and a satisfied "hmm" sound came out of his throat.

With every bite he chewed, he seemed to be immersed in a wonderful taste feast, and the expression on his face became more and more intoxicated.

His head shook slightly, as if he was enjoying the delicacy following some invisible rhythm.

"This tastes simply amazing!" he couldn't help but exclaim, his voice full of surprise and excitement.

After the meal, the foreign friends did not leave immediately, but found Wang Jianye.

"Boss, I'm a gourmet and your food amazes me. I would like to cooperate with you to introduce your food to the international market."

His tone was sincere and eager, and his eyes were full of expectation and desire.

Wang Jianye was slightly stunned, and a wave of emotions surged in his heart.

"This..." He didn't know how to answer for a moment.

That evening, after the restaurant closed, Wang Jianye gathered the employees together.

"Today a foreign gourmet wants to cooperate with us to promote our dishes to the international market. What do you think?" Wang Jianye asked, his eyes scanning everyone's face.

Chen Xiaoyang frowned and said seriously: "Boss, this sounds like a good opportunity, but our current kitchen equipment and staffing are not enough to cope with the huge demand from the international market.

Although our kitchen is quite spacious, it is not fully equipped with advanced equipment. If we receive a large number of international orders at once, I am afraid it will be difficult to guarantee efficiency and quality. "

Ma Hua scratched his head and continued, “Moreover, the food standards and quality supervision in the international market are very strict, and we must first evaluate whether we can meet those requirements.

Different countries have different regulations on the freshness of ingredients, the use of additives, and hygiene standards. We have to study them one by one, which is not an easy task."

Sha Zhu slammed the table and said loudly: "I think we should consolidate the domestic market first and not be greedy.

We still have a lot of room for development in China. We should first lay a solid foundation and then think about the international market."

Wang Bingbing thought for a moment and said, “Dad, I think our current supply chain and management system may not be able to cope with the needs of the international market.

From food procurement and transportation to inventory management, everything needs to be further optimized. And the cultural differences and taste preferences of the international market must also be carefully studied, and we cannot act blindly. "

Qin Huairu nodded and said, "I agree. We must lay a good foundation first. The competition in the international market is too fierce. We can't enter rashly. We must be fully prepared."

Wang Jianye listened to everyone's words and already had the answer in his mind.

The next day, the sunlight still poured into the hotel through the windows, and the foreign friend stepped into Wang's Hotel again.

His steps were a little hurried and his eyes were full of anticipation.

Wang Jianye stepped forward, looked apologetic, bowed slightly and said, “Sir, thank you very much for your appreciation.

However, after careful discussion among all our staff, we have determined that this is not the most appropriate time for the cooperation you have proposed."

When the foreign friends heard this, their expectant expressions instantly dimmed and they showed obvious disappointment on their faces.

However, he quickly adjusted his mood and said politely: "Although it is a bit regrettable, I can understand the decision you and your team made. However, I sincerely hope that we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

Wang Jianye looked at his foreign friend sincerely and responded firmly: "Sir, we are very pleased with your understanding. I believe that as long as we continue to work hard to develop, there will be a day in the future when we can work together."

The days are still busy and the business of all Wang's restaurants is still booming.

On a sunny day, an elderly couple came to the store.

The old lady was wearing a simple and elegant cheongsam. The material of the cheongsam looked to be of extremely high quality, and the floral patterns embroidered on it were delicate and exquisite.

Her hair was combed neatly, not a strand out of place, as if every strand spoke of the peaceful years.

There was a gentle, spring-like smile on his face, and his eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation for new things.

"Old man, I heard the food in this restaurant is very good." The old lady's voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of anticipation.

The old man was wearing a Zhongshan suit and looked energetic.

The Zhongshan suit was neat and tidy, which made him look even taller. His eyes were filled with anticipation, as if he was about to embark on a wonderful taste journey.

"Then try it." The old man's voice was loud and powerful, with decisiveness and resolution.

After they sat down, the old lady picked up the menu, browsed through it carefully, and said softly: "Old man, look at this squirrel mandarin fish, it looks very tempting just looking at the picture, would you like to have one?"

The old man leaned over to take a look and nodded, "Okay, this fish looks good. I'll have one."

The old lady continued to flip through the menu, her eyes lit up: "There is also this dish of pork with preserved vegetables, I think it will go well with rice."

The old man smiled and responded: "Then light it up and let's try it."

The old lady pointed at the menu and said, "Old man, this stir-fried seasonal vegetables looks very refreshing. How about having one too?"

The old man said without hesitation: "Okay, let's add a bowl of soup, this West Lake Beef Soup."

"Okay, let's order these first, and we'll order more if they're not enough." The old lady closed the menu and said to the waiter with a smile.

The waiter smiled and wrote it down, then turned to take the order.

Soon, the dishes were served one after another. The old couple picked up their chopsticks and began to taste them, enjoying every bite.

“This smell reminds me of my youth.”

The old lady smiled and said, with the light of memories flashing in her eyes. That light seemed to travel through the tunnel of time and return to those beautiful years of youth.

"Yes, I haven't tasted such authentic flavors in many years."

The old man sighed, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to relax, as if being gently smoothed out by this familiar and wonderful smell.

At this time, customers were coming and going in the store, some were in a hurry, and some were leisurely.

But at the moment when everyone tasted the dishes, an expression of satisfaction was on their face, as if they had found their own delicious memory in this small world.

There were young people sharing the joy brought by delicious food with laughter, there was a family sitting together enjoying a warm dining time, and there were diners who came alone and found a moment of peace and comfort in the taste.

Another morning, the warm and soft sunlight sprinkled gently on the hotel sign like a layer of gauze, and the golden light was shining, as if the sign was coated with a layer of dazzling gold edge.

"Boss, give me one of our signature dishes!" A young man walked in hurriedly. His black hair was a little messy, as if he had just experienced a rapid run, but his face was full of vigor and his eyes were bright and energetic.

"Okay, I'll be there right away!" Wang Jianye's busy figure kept shuttling around in the store like a tireless bee.

There was a satisfied smile on his face, which was as warm and bright as the sun, and every wrinkle on his face seemed to hide his love for life and dedication to his career.

"Although I rejected that cooperation, as long as we insist on cooking well, the opportunity will always come again." He thought to himself, and his steps became lighter, as if there was wind under his feet, full of strength and confidence.

By noon, the store was already full of customers and was very lively.

A young lady dressed fashionably sat elegantly at the table. Her slender fingers gently picked up a piece of food, with light and graceful movements, and then slowly put it into her mouth.

The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a charming smile, and then she smiled and said to her companion: "The taste of this store is really well-deserved. I must bring my girlfriends here next time."

She had exquisite makeup on, and the color of her eyeshadow perfectly set off her bright eyes, which were full of joy, like twinkling stars.

A middle-aged man next to him was eating with big mouthfuls, his cheeks bulging. He praised while eating: "This is authentic food, much better than those high-end restaurants!"

His forehead was slightly sweaty, and beads of sweat slid down his cheeks, but he didn't bother to wipe it off. The chopsticks in his hand never stopped moving, as if he was afraid of missing every bite of delicious food.

At this moment, the praises in the store rose one after another, like a beautiful piece of music.

“This dish tastes absolutely amazing!”

"Yeah, I've never eaten anything so delicious!"

"Boss, your craftsmanship is amazing!"

Various voices of praise intertwined together, immersing the entire hotel in an atmosphere of joy and satisfaction.

In the evening, the hotel lights came on, illuminating the streets.

As night fell, the hotel sent away the last batch of guests. Wang Jianye and his employees began to clean the store and prepare for a new day.

Wang Jianye held a broom and said enthusiastically: "Come on, everyone. Tomorrow is another busy day!"

Wang Bingbing took a rag and wiped the tables and chairs carefully, and responded: "Dad, don't worry, we will definitely clean the store."

Sha Zhu held the bucket and said with a smile: "Yes, with us here, no problem!"

Qin Huairu was arranging the tableware and said as she was busy, "Everyone works together, and tomorrow will be smooth sailing."

Chen Xiaoyang was cleaning the kitchen and shouted, "Let's work harder!"

Ma Hua also echoed: "Okay, I promise to complete the task!"

"Okay!" everyone responded in unison.

This powerful voice echoed in the store, as if injecting new motivation into everyone.

Their figures are busy under the lights. Although they are tired, their eyes are shining with expectation and confidence for the future.

……

When spring comes, the flowers in front of the hotel bloom in competition, red, pink and white, complementing each other, like a colorful painting.

"This scenery and this delicious food are a perfect match!" A painter was sitting by the window, wearing a loose linen shirt and a beret, with a focused and intoxicated expression.

While tasting the delicious dishes, I sketched the flowers outside the window.

His brush danced lightly on the paper, as if to freeze this beautiful moment forever.

On summer nights, the breeze brings a slight coolness. People enjoy cool food in restaurants, with laughter and joy.

"Comfortable!" An old man was fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan. He was wearing a white sweatshirt, and the wrinkles on his face were filled with comfort. On the table in front of him were several plates of refreshing cold dishes and a glass of cool drink. He squinted his eyes, enjoying the leisure time in this summer.

On an autumn afternoon, the sun shines through the gaps between the leaves, forming golden spots.

"It's so beautiful!" A photographer raised his camera, half squatted, stared at the viewfinder, looking for the best angle. His face was full of excitement and excitement, and he pressed the shutter to record this beautiful moment.

All of Wang's restaurants quietly witness the changing of the seasons and people's unchanging love for food.

The vitality of spring, the ease and joy of summer, the tranquility and beauty of autumn, and the warmth and reunion of winter, each season has left its unique mark here, but what remains unchanged is people's pursuit and enjoyment of food.

However, the proposal of the foreign gourmet, like an indelible shadow, always lingered in Wang Jianye's mind.

Whenever it was late at night or in the middle of a busy day, the proposal would involuntarily come to his mind.

"Maybe one day, we can really go international." He thought secretly, his eyes revealing great determination and vision for the future.

That look seemed to have traveled through time and space, seeing the scene of all Wang's hotels shining on the international stage.

On a quiet night, Wang Jianye sat alone in the store.

The lights in the store were dim and soft, and there was silence all around. He sat there quietly, recalling every detail of his journey.

All the hardships, setbacks, breakthroughs and successes he had experienced were like movies constantly playing in his mind.

“It’s not easy to grow from a small shop to a bustling scene now.”

An expression of emotion emerged on his face, and his fingers gently stroked the table.

The texture of the tabletop seemed to record the traces of the years that had passed. His voice was low and hoarse, with endless vicissitudes.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the ceiling, his eyes deep and far away, his heart full of emotion. The old chandelier on the ceiling emitted a dim light, as if telling stories from the past.

"But as long as you persist, your dream will come true." He said to himself silently in his heart, his tone firm and powerful. That was his promise to the future and also an encouragement to himself.

As the days passed, like a silent stream slowly flowing, the reputation of Wang's full-line restaurants became more and more famous, like a rising star, shining brightly in the sky of food.

……

On this day, the sunlight shines through the carved window lattices and falls on the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadows.

The restaurant was bustling with people, and the diners' laughter and joy mixed together like a cheerful symphony.

"Boss, please serve the signature dishes quickly!" a diner urged loudly.

"It will be here soon, please wait!" the waiter responded enthusiastically.

Just then, a scholar dressed in a simple gown, wearing glasses and with an elegant temperament walked into the hotel.

His eyes were sharp and focused as he looked around the store. (End of this chapter)
