In the blink of an eye, three years later.

Gu Family Hotel is in the lively kitchen.

Wearing a white chef's uniform, he looked at the two talented apprentices who were cooking dishes, holding hands, standing beside them, staring at the movements in their hands. Although he was stern and did not speak, the chef's majesty and authority still allowed the two apprentices to move meticulously and strictly follow the rules taught by the master.

After a while, two plates of fried Kung Pao Chicken were placed in front of Zhou Ming.

"Master, please use it!"

The two apprentices, Ge Peng and Sun Yingcai, bowed halfway.

Zhou Ming nodded slightly, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and two plates of Kung Pao chicken that were evaluating his apprentice's cooking skills. He picked up a bite each and put it in his mouth and tasted it slowly.

After a while, under the expectant and nervous eyes of the two apprentices, Zhou Ming said, "Ge Peng, 65 points, Sun Yingcai, 70 points."

Hearing this, Ge Peng's expression became depressed and lost to Sun Yingcai again. He restrained his inner jealousy. He asked anxiously: "Master, what else does this dish need to be improved?"

Zhou Ming commented on the heat, stir-frying action, the timing of seasonings, etc., and pointed out the problem. His apprentice Ge Peng nodded repeatedly, saying that he remembered that he would work hard to improve in the future and make a dish that satisfies the master.

This attitude made Zhou Ming nod and encouraged him: "Continue to work hard, you still have room for improvement. You also have talents. Your dishes have many problems, and they are far from satisfying me. You have studied with me early and have higher talent than Ge Peng. The dishes you cook should not only get 70 points, but you are far from being complacent. If you continue like this, your junior brother will sooner or later surpass you..."

It was the first time that Sun Yingcai got 70 points from his master. He couldn't help but show his joy. Faced with this shocking reprimand, he was also said to be blinded, and he quickly lowered his head and said, "I know the master!"

Looking at the two disciples in front of him who were not much different from his actual age, but after more than two years of training, they had already been tamed by themselves, and through two dishes they made, which were more than 60 points, Zhou Ming knew that the small Baowan Town could no longer retain him, and the broader stage of the big city was waving to him.

His recent series of arrangements, including stepping up training of these two apprentices, are also making full preparations for returning to Yaoxing City.

After three years, he has cooked countless dishes like a machine, and he has stood at the peak of this world in his cooking skills.

This is not a narcissistic boast, but the growth and progress achieved through step by step, in down-to-earth research, in an average of 12 hours of work every day, and in the busy work of the rest day of a year, no more than five days... There is no shortcut to take, only the four words that most successful people believe in: work hard and persist!

Therefore, with his efforts, in the past three years, the small town of Baowan Town has undergone tremendous changes.

Foodies have appeared. Foodies who have gained a great sense of happiness from food never pay attention to it. On the electronic consumption card, the food expenditure obviously exceeds the limited amount; the number of obese people has increased, and even more than some outsiders call Baowan Town the "obese town"; the high-end customer base has grown, and due to the large number of people and the number of private rooms, they can only apply for a VIP membership card, and they have to endure the appointment queue system once every five days. Therefore, some high-end customers who have been fed up with queues and waiting were angry and demanded that Gujia Hotel stop doing business for mid- and low-end customers, and specialize in high-end customers, and only serve them.

As for the price, will rich people care about the price?

Rich people only care whether it tastes good or not. As long as it tastes good, it is only a dish ordered with hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of credits. The rich people ordered without blinking when they ordered. They even ordered expensive dishes. Ordinary customers downstairs ate more than a dozen or dozens of credits. The rich people didn't order it, but they ordered it.

For example, at the end of last year, Gujia Hotel grandly launched the most expensive "Invincible Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" to high-end customers. One of the 18888 credits was absurdly expensive. As a result, after tasting the taste of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, some distinguished guests who had their souls flew away. Every time they came to Gujia Hotel, the must-order item was Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. In order to avoid queueing, they even had the diamond membership card worth 10 yuan a piece of money to do without blinking, giving people the feeling that this guy is crazy.

And there are 17 such crazy diamond members, Gu Family Hotel.

As for ordinary credit points, how much money has been earned in three years, Zhou Ming, who only cares for cooking all day, is not particularly clear, but there is definitely a credit point of 20 million.

In addition, the 220 pieces of money placed in his system's storage space (170 pieces are the membership fee of the diamond membership card, 30 pieces are earned by him as a private chef for a wealthy old man who is about to die, and 20 pieces are left after the surplus of inputs and expenses)... So much money has long exceeded the original accumulation standard, and it is enough for Zhou Ming to return to Yaoxing City, buy a piece of land, build a luxury five-star hotel, and do a big and vigorous job.

Zhou Ming is already optimistic about the land covering an area of ​​5 acres and needs 150 yuan to buy. It is located in the junction of the first and second ring roads in the city center. It has dense crowds, convenient transportation and a strong business atmosphere. He plans to buy this land and invest another 20 million credit points to build a ten-story hotel that can accommodate up to 1,000 people to eat at the same time. He also recruits a large number of chefs, waiters, chefs, and chef apprentices...

Zhou Ming's huge plan was placed in front of the Gu family. The Gu family, who had already been deeply moved by the huge changes in the Gu family hotel in recent years, was even more stunned and dumbfounded at this time.

"Isn't it great to stay in the town? Why do you have to go to the city to develop?" Gu Dawei asked very much. This is already great, why do you have to make trouble?

"The market in the city is a hundred times that of Baowan Town, where there is a wider market and a large number of customers."

"Xiaoqiang, it's almost enough. You can't make enough money. You have worked so hard and have to cook for millions of people. Your body will sooner or later!" Zhang Peizhen was not worried that he would not succeed. She was worried that this workaholic would be dragged down.

"No, when you get to the city, ordinary guests will ask apprentices and other chefs to entertain. I am only responsible for the high-end customers. The workload will be less than now. I know how to take care of my body..."

"But, your investment scale is too large. Buying five acres of land and building a ten-story hotel is equivalent to spending all the money you have earned in the past few years. Xiaoqiang, you can't spend all the money you have in the Gu family hotel in order to develop in the city. This hotel is not yours..."

Gu Dawei opened the skylight and said the most realistic problem, which was expressed as: The Gu family didn't want to spend so much money to open a new store for him.

Gu Naihui, who was standing beside him, also whispered: "Xiaoqiang, we know that you have made great contributions over the years, so all the money is in your hands, but my parents are getting older and slowly can't work. If you leave, all the money will be taken away. How can you continue to operate the Gu family hotel?"

"You can go to the city with me. The store needs a lot of people. You can go and help. As for this restaurant in the town, you can sell it or let your apprentice stay here."

"no!"

Gu Dawei's face suddenly became serious and said: "This restaurant must not be sold. It is the hard work of five generations of my Gu family. Even if I die, I will not sell this restaurant! It will continue to open!"

He said to Zhou Mingming directly: "Young man, I admit that you have made a lot of contributions at the Gu family hotel, but it has not yet reached the point where my Gu family is young and old, following your steps. In the Gu family, we are the masters and you are the guests. Don't think of turning us into your guests. You are going to the city alone!"

After hearing these tough words, Zhou Ming suddenly realized that the Gu family was unwilling to show their credit points and did not support him in starting a business. It turned out that he was afraid that he would turn his back and turn from the role of the boss and master to his employees and subordinates... It seems that it is still very important to determine the relationship between the master and the slave in terms of interests.

If you don’t sign an equity agreement, both parties will hold certain shares and determine the proportion of profit distribution, the Gu family should support you.

How many shares are better to give up? 30%?

Just as Zhou Ming was conducting analysis of the distribution ratio in his mind, Zhang Peizhen, who was beside him, spoke to her husband: "Dawei, Xiaoqiang is a family with us, why are you talking so distant... Xiaoqiang, come with me, I will discuss something with you."

Zhang Peizhen stood up and muttered in Zhou Ming's ear, mysteriously pulling him to a place without a person on the second floor, with a serious and sincere expression, and chatting with him.

"Xiaoqiang, our Gu family doesn't support you. We actually support you in opening a store in the city, but we are not at ease. Who dares to give it to an outsider... Xiaoqiang, we really want to treat you as our family, but you don't like my Xiaohui at all? Several years have passed, why are you still blaming her in your heart? Xiaoqiang, for you, Xiaohui has changed a lot. Sometimes I feel that I can't recognize her. She really likes you. Why can't you accept her? As long as you agree to accept her and become a family with us, you go to the city to open a store, the Gu family supports you. We will give you as much as you want!"

After hearing Zhang Peizhen's words, Zhou Ming's eyes widened.

This is no longer a beauty trick, but to some extent, it is a marriage trick to strengthen cooperation and bonds.

His brain began to spin.

Do you want to nod?

Nodded, you will get more than 20 million credit points, so you don’t have to worry about equity distribution, because this store belongs to the common property of the two, and as long as there is no breakup, there will be no division.

If you don’t nod, you will be a little troublesome. You either find someone to work together and take out some shares to solve the problem of funds. Or you will spend another two to three years to work hard and complete the accumulation of 20 million credit points.
Chapter completed!
