Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant

"Are you asleep?" Ming Qian came out of the bathroom. He had just finished taking a shower, his body was still damp, his hair was half-dried with a towel, and he asked cautiously as he rushed into the room.

You Jun turned on the phone screen and said blankly: "No."

Ming Qian smiled and said, "I knew you didn't."

He said before that he had prepared a gift for You Jun, and based on his understanding of You Jun, if he couldn't get the gift today, You Jun would definitely make trouble with him.

Sometimes he even felt that he could become a roundworm in You Jun's stomach - this description is a bit disgusting.

"Wait, I put my things outside." Ming Qian went out wearing a pair of shorts.

Anyway, there are only Youjun, He and Yao in the family now, all three are male or male, I have what you have, so there is no need to hide it.

And now that there is an air conditioner at home, Ming Qian doesn't have to strip himself half naked just to keep cool.

Ming Qian put the things in the cabinet in the entrance, because they were bought as gifts for Youjun, the form is still very important, after he bought them, he specially went to the gift shop to help wrap them, the wrapping paper was also in silver color, white paper, hot silver patterns.

The pattern is still the pattern of a fox, Ming Qian bought the wrapping paper online in advance.

Luckily, there is now everything online, and there is no shortage of animal prints.

Otherwise, if Ming Qian were to make it custom-made, he would feel distressed again.

The silver ribbon ties the box together, which looks luxurious and luxurious.

The things inside are also very luxurious for Ming Qian, and he is reluctant to buy it himself.

In the room, Youjun sat up straight and looked at Mingqian outside the door. His eyesight is different from that of ordinary people. Even if he is so far away, he can clearly see the things Mingqian is holding and every hair on Mingqian's head. hair.

Just as Ming Qian was about to enter the room, You Jun lay back in an instant, and then turned his eyes to the phone, pretending that he didn't expect it at all.

"Dangdang!" Ming Qian composed an atmosphere voice himself.

You Jun: "..."

"A gift for you." Mingqian sat down by the bed and handed the gift box to Youjun with one hand. He said with a smile, "I don't know if you like it or not, but I didn't have money before, so I couldn't give you a good gift." Yes, I will make up for you this time."

"There is also a card inside, the password is my birthday, and the money in it can be used as you like."

Kali is Youjun's dividend during this period.

Ming Qian was busy before, but now he finally remembered that he took the time to apply for a new card and made money.

But he didn't say it was a dividend - because his intuition told him that if he said it was a dividend, You Jun would be unhappy.

There was no reason for this intuition, it came out of nowhere, but Ming Qian still believed in his intuition.

As expected, Youjun was not angry, the corners of his mouth even had a slight upward hook, this time he even forgot to press down the corners of his mouth, and said in his mouth: "Could it be that this deity still misses things in the mortal world?"

Hands have already started unpacking.

His movements were not rough, but quick, graceful and quick.

It seems that he is not in a hurry at all, but the speed is not at all the speed of not being in a hurry.

Wait for him to unpack and open the box.

A new silver-white mobile phone came into view.

Ming Qian added next to it: "This phone can be custom engraved. I asked them to engrave a fox on the back of the phone. See if you like it."

You Jun turned the phone over, it was a fox's head, just like the one on Ming Qian's chest.

It was Youjun himself.

Ming Qian was a little proud: "Originally they said they could only engrave English, but they didn't let me engrave Chinese. I struggled for a long time."

"Your current mobile phone, I had no money when I bought it. It was already a few years ago, and this one is the latest."

In order to make You Jun happier, he also said: "I use old mobile phones from four or five years ago."

"At first I didn't know what to give, but then I thought, the only thing that never leaves me is my mobile phone, so it's best to give it as a gift."

He is like a child eager for praise, with a pair of bright eyes staring at You Jun.

Youjun moved his fingers.

Ming Qian asked again: "Do you like it?"

You Jun stretched out his hand.

Ming Qian looked at Youjun's hand stretching towards him, and he felt that Youjun's action was a bit wrong.

The atmosphere seems a little ambiguous?

But before Ming Qian could think about it carefully, You Jun had already made a move——

He pinched Mingqian's cheek.

Picked up a piece of meat.

Ming Qian: "...??"

You Jun withdrew his hand, as if nothing happened just now, he said softly: "Not bad."

Ming Qian stroked his slightly wet hair, and sighed, "Is the word 'like' difficult for you?"

Youjun said confidently, "It's hard."

Ming Qian: "Forget it, don't take off the earphones, I'll dry my hair and go to sleep."

"Come here." You Jun said suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Ming Qian was a little surprised, but he still moved over.

This time You Jun stretched out his hand again, and gently brushed Ming Qian's head.

A gust of warm wind gently touched Ming Qian's hair, Ming Qian felt a burst of warmth, and he suddenly shivered uncontrollably.

This feeling is so amazing, Ming Qian only felt that he was electrocuted.

He was shocked by the electricity.

He couldn't help but think of a sentence——

"The fairy caresses my dog's head."

"Okay." Youjun's voice was extremely flat.

Ming Qian subconsciously touched his head, his hair was completely dry and still warm.

"Quick drying." Just a few seconds, right?

Ming Qian cried enviously: "If I know this, I will grow my hair long and follow the path of an artist."

Youjun didn't answer him, but just held the new mobile phone in his hand, and when Mingqian got into bed and closed his eyes to sleep, he still maintained this movement.

He has never received a gift in his life, and he grabs everything he wants.

Weaker kin would offer tribute to his protection, but that was no gift either.

Only this human race thought about giving him a gift, spent all his time thinking, but didn't want anything.

You Jun narrowed his eyes slightly, and he turned to look at Ming Qian.

Mingqian is already asleep, he closed his eyes, now the weather is cool, and the night is getting colder, Mingqian often falls asleep and sticks to Youjun's body, Youjun stretches out his arm, gently hugs Mingqian shoulders.

The moonlight is like water, cool and gentle.

·

The day before the food festival, Mingqian brought Yiyi and Yao to familiarize himself with the venue, Youjun followed up silently, so the whole process became Mingqian talking and chatting with Youjun, Yiyi and Yao followed behind as "" attendant".

The venue is far away from the main urban area. It takes an hour to take the subway, and it takes more than ten minutes to take the bus after getting off the subway.

Although the geographical location is not very good, but fortunately the venue is big enough. Some people have already started to build booths in the open space. There are still stands being installed at the entrance. The workers are sweating profusely under the sun. When passers-by pass by, they will stand outside the venue and ask. Here's what to do.

Some store owners have also come and are looking for their own booths.

Booths are also particular, and the closer to the entrance, the more popular they are. Some well-known stores can not only come for free, but the organizer also includes tables, chairs, benches and kitchen utensils, but especially those who are not well-known and the business is not good, they will pay for themselves, and tables, chairs, and benches are also included. Find a way to rent it yourself.

As soon as Ming Qian entered through the entrance, he saw Qin Ye who was holding a mineral water bottle and yelling at the workers—you can't hear him if you don't yell.

When Qin Ye saw Ming Qian approaching, he immediately put down what he was doing and went forward. The Food Festival has advanced to this point, and there will definitely not be any accidents. Qin Ye is in a good mood, even after being so tired, his face is still sunny and his teeth are grinning. Huozi is coming out soon.

"Snacks are sold in the front." Qin Ye chatted with Ming Qian about the venue plan, "It's all snacks that don't take up much of your stomach, the middle is the main meal, and the last is drinks and some small activities. There will be signings in the middle Yes, this year the venue is bigger than last year, and there will be a lottery at that time."

"Guests who have been drawn can eat for free, but your restaurant will still be drawn. Just bring the free coupon and bill to us for reimbursement. The lottery is a benefit from our side."

Ming Qian thought it was quite interesting: "Will there be an entrance fee?"

Otherwise, how can the organizer make money?

Qin Ye shook his head: "We are afraid that there are not many customers. How could there be an entrance fee, but there are all-inclusive coupons. I told you when I called before. The all-inclusive coupons are fixed packages for each store. Customers buy them. In the future, you can go to any restaurant to eat a fixed set meal, and you can eat at every restaurant once.”

"Guests can choose whether to buy or not, but the all-in-one coupon seems to be more cost-effective."

It seems that the customers are taking advantage of it, but in fact it is the same as a buffet. The customers may not lose money, but the merchants definitely gain.

The stomachs of customers are limited, and each store still has a fixed set meal, which can control the capital expenditure. When the time comes, the money will be divided according to the entered data, and the organizer will not have to work in vain.

In addition to earning money from the guests, those merchants who want to come also have to pay, and the organizers earn money from both sides.

And generally speaking, food festivals have sponsors or title sponsors, and when the pillars at the entrance are installed, you will definitely be able to see the sponsor's brand.

Now Ming Qian understood, and felt that he was worried that the organizer would not be able to earn money after working for so long.

There are many people who are smarter than him, especially those who are in business.

Ming Qian introduced Yao and Yiyi to Qin Ye: "Tomorrow only the two of them will come over, so I won't come over then."

Qin Ye has no objection to this, but is a little regretful. After all, it would be better if Ming Qian came here in person. After all, Ming Qian himself can be regarded as a small "Internet celebrity", and his reputation may not be less than that of the specially invited Internet celebrity in the food area.

This food festival has invited u owners from more than 20 gourmet areas and more than a dozen food bloggers. There are only three top u owners and bloggers in total, and the rest are waist bloggers with 10,000+ followers and a maximum of 30 followers.

The anchor also invited a lot.

Some food bloggers have published books, which happen to be signed for sale.

They also have a lot of fans, but they don't know if online fans can come offline. After all, although there are a lot of people in this city, no one knows how many of them can overlap with their fans.

The booth of the hot pot restaurant is right in the middle of the venue, and the booth is not big, it can only seat six tables.

The space in the back kitchen is also small, with only a long cooking table. Because it is outdoors, gas tanks are used to prepare the bottom of the pot.

But small is small, simple is simple, but it has everything it should have, and it can do business.

On the left of the hot pot restaurant is a dry pot restaurant, on the right is a barbecue restaurant, and on the opposite side is also a hot pot restaurant.

The competition here should be fierce.

There are no shortage of hot pot restaurants anywhere, and Ming Qian knows it well.

It's just that the bosses of the nearby shops didn't come today, and they probably came to see it two days ago.

"The local TV station will also come at that time." Mentioning this, Qin Ye became more confident, "Last year it was not very good, but it will be easier if it is done well this year."

There used to be a food festival in this city, which was organized by the government, but because of poor results, it disappeared after two years.

So now it has become a non-governmental organization.

Ming Qian smiled at Qin Ye and said, "After so much effort, it's strange that there is no good feedback."

Qin Ye also smiled: "I'll lend you a good word."

Yiyi and Yao stayed at the stall to discuss where to put things tomorrow.

Ming Qian and You Jun just wandered around in the venue.

The venue layout of this food festival has been carefully planned. Mingqian saw a lot of ribbons and balloons that have not been hung up, and there are many food models that can be faked, that is, they are much bigger, probably because pandas are so cute. So even though their city has nothing to do with pandas, they still took advantage of the popularity of pandas and put up a small sculpture of pandas eating noodles.

"Isn't it interesting?" Ming Qian asked You Jun, "I'm so excited to come tomorrow."

Youjun said casually: "Don't you always do everything yourself? Why don't you come tomorrow?"

Ming Qian was a little worried: "There are only four people left in the shop, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."

Now the business is so good that Ming Qian has no time to rest at all, and the holidays are even more empty promises.

But the store is only so big, if you invite more people, it will be too crowded, and at most two waiters will be squeezed, and the back kitchen is really too crowded.

In addition to Yiyi, who is a part-time buyer, there are already four pier workers, and Mingqian himself has to go to the back kitchen to fry pumpkin cakes and make shredded apples and other side dishes.

The most important thing is that there are more customers, so there are more ingredients. Most of the kitchen is used to stack ingredients.

Youjun frowned: "Four?"

Ming Qian hesitated: "...Isn't it right?"

Just as Youjun wanted to get angry, he forcibly suppressed it: "What about me?"

Ming Qian replied subconsciously: "Of course you are in the store...Of course you come with me! I was wrong!"

Almost, fortunately, Ming Qian heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

It's been really slack lately.

But recently Youjun's temper seems to have really improved a lot.

Ming Qian didn't pay attention to it before, but now thinking about it, it seems to be true.

Youjun would not have "hinted" with him in such a good temper before.

Sigh, You Jun's hint is too obvious.

But looking at it from another angle, You Jun's personality is also good, at least he puts everything on his face, so that people don't have to try hard to guess, and it's easy to guess wrong.

In the past, there was a boy in Mingqian's room with a very delicate mind, and he would not say what was uncomfortable, let alone show it on his face, until one day he broke out, and the result of the outbreak was that there was hardly anyone in the dormitory during that time say.

"Then let's come for a stroll tomorrow, just come at noon and go back in the afternoon." Ming Qian thinks it's okay, it's not very busy at noon, and the busiest is at night.

Youjun nodded reservedly: "Yes."

The place is still in a mess right now, and it probably won't be cleaned up until evening.

Ming Qian also saw a few doll costumes in the logistics tent, and he should hire part-timers to liven up the atmosphere. If parents bring their children, they can interact and take pictures.

"Tomorrow we will also invite clowns, and we can make animals with balloons for children."

Qin Ye trotted over, panting and said to Ming Qian, "These doll costumes are for part-time jobs."

"So many tricks?" Ming Qian thought it was quite interesting.

Qin Ye said in a low voice: "Customer experience and event atmosphere are both important, and there should be some claw machines behind the beverage area."

After all, it was a plan, and Qin Ye thought everything through.

Entering the entrance is the snack area. Snacks don’t take up much of their stomachs. Even if they take up their stomachs, most people still think that snacks are not a serious staple food, so they have to eat dinner anyway.

The beverage area is placed at the end, so you won't be full of water as soon as you come in.

After eating and drinking, go to the last game area to play and digest food. Maybe you can have some snacks when you go out.

There is only one entrance and exit of the activity, and it is a straight line.

As long as diners come in, they must walk the same way twice.

After Ming Qian listened to Qin Ye's explanation, he realized that the arrangement of the stores in the original venue was exquisite, and it was not possible to directly and roughly divide the snack area into the staple food area and the beverage area.

He felt like he had learned again.

"Tomorrow morning at eleven o'clock can be regular, you'd better be there around eight o'clock." Qin Ye asked.

"Okay." Ming Qian said, "I'll definitely be there at eight o'clock."

Qin Ye asked in a low voice, "The girl you brought is too pretty. Tomorrow may be messy. I suggest you change to a male employee."

Ming Qian: "Isn't it?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, even a rogue bastard wouldn't dare, would he?

Qin Ye frowned: "It's not certain. Last year, there was a customer who was secretly photographed upskirt while buying snacks. There was a lot of trouble at that time, and he finally went to the police station."

Ming Qian: "Then how did you solve it in the end?"

Qin Ye: "Delete the photo, make an apology, I don't know if she is detained or not, I see that girl is trembling with anger, there is probably something else going on."

"This kind of activity is like this. If you are lucky, there will be no such bums coming in. If you are unlucky, we will be affected." Qin Ye mentioned this The expression on his face became a lot more worried, "This kind of person has a brain There are all problems, so we have to increase the number of security personnel and install several more cameras."

Ming Qian: "...Our luck shouldn't be so bad, right?"

Qin Ye curled his lips: "You don't know, some people are like that, they seem to throw away their brains when they are born, and think about that every day."

"Now I can only hope that there will be no such moths tomorrow." Qin Ye just finished speaking, when someone called him not far away, he said to Ming Qian and walked forward.

Ming Qian turned his head to look at You Jun, You Jun obviously didn't listen to Qin Ye's words, and his attention would not be on Qin Ye either.

Ming Qian: "Go back, Yiyi and the others should be waiting for us."

"Tomorrow we still have to look at our own booth more. If there is a bastard who doesn't have eyes to harass Yiyi, I will beat him." Ming Qian waved his fist, "We must not let Yiyi do it by himself."

Ming Qian sighed, "How could there be such a person?"

Youjun: "The human race..."

Ming Qian quickly said: "Don't be a map gun, I am also a human race."

Youjun choked back what he wanted to say.

Ming Qian only hoped that he would not be so unlucky and really meet that kind of person.

If they really met, I hope he was there at the time, and if Yiyi made a move, Ming Qian was worried that he might go to help Yiyi hire a lawyer.

Today they chose to come in the morning because they don't do business in the morning, and now they have to continue to do business in the store when they go back.

Mingqian also thought about starting his own business when he was working before, but starting a business based on fantasy is always beautiful. Now that he has really opened a store, it is beautiful, but more tiring.

On the way back, Mingqian looked around and found no passers-by except Youjun, so he stretched his waist and rubbed the back of his neck, and said to Youjun in a low voice: "Recently, I feel that my shoulders and neck are a bit tight. sour."

"Then?" You Jun slightly raised his eyebrows.

Ming Qian: "Can you massage me at night?"

You Jun helped him press it before, as long as You Jun finished pressing it, he would be resurrected with full blood, not to mention the pain, and even felt that he could go on for another 24 hours.

You Jun turned his head and didn't look at Ming Qian, with a reluctant look: "Okay."

Ming Qian: "I'll press it for you when the time comes."

You Jun gave Ming Qian a disgusted look.

Ming Qian said with a smile: "I still know how to beat my back, except that I don't have the skills, everyone who has tried it agrees."

Youjun's eyes became sharper instantly: "Who tried it?"

Ming Qian yawned: "My father and my mother."

You Jun retracted his gaze.

Ming Qian reacted: "Who do you think?"

Youjun didn't speak, and it seemed that he wouldn't say anything if he asked again.

Ming Qian suddenly felt something, but the thought disappeared quickly, and he didn't even catch it.

"Boss!" Yao saw them from a long distance away, "We have seen them, there is a place for everything, we will come here early tomorrow!"

Yiyi also waved at them.

Ming Qian: "Then let's go back now, take a taxi or take the subway?"

"Take a taxi." Yao ran towards them, like a cheerful puppy, "There are no seats on the subway."

Ming Qian really wanted to reach out and rub Yao's head, it must feel good, but since You Jun was beside him, Ming Qian held back, and nodded: "Okay."

As soon as they reached the side of the road, Ming Qian wanted to take out his mobile phone to hail a taxi, but was stopped by You Jun who was standing beside him.

Ming Qian tilted his head to look at You Jun: "?"

Youjun: "Use my mobile phone to hail a taxi."

After finishing speaking, You Jun took out his new mobile phone, and the new mobile phone reflected light in the sunlight.

Ming Qian: "No, I can use my mobile phone. It's not that my mobile phone can't take a taxi."

You Jun frowned: "Use it as soon as I tell you to use it, how can there be so many words?"

Mingqian: "..."

Ming Qian took Youjun's cell phone and honestly took a taxi.

Youjun put his arms around his chest and looked down at the short Yao.

Suddenly feeling You Jun's gaze, Yao unconsciously shivered, and subconsciously touched the back of her head.

Yao swallowed, raised his head cautiously, and saw You Jun's eyes just as he raised his head.

He hurriedly lowered his head.

During this time, he should have hugged the boss's thigh, right?

Youjun won't drive him away, will he?

Did he just do something wrong?
