Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant

As the hottest hotpot restaurant in this city, it is normal to be imitated, and it is even more normal to be copycat. Just two streets away, there is a Shanhaijing hotpot restaurant. The scriptures have been shrunk and a circle is made inside , placed at the foot of Haizi.

Ming Qian originally thought that a small shop like his would not be knocked off, but unfortunately he still underestimated the sense of his "colleagues". As long as there is money to make, what is shamelessness?

What's more, many diners don't look carefully at the name of the shop on the signboard. Even if the address is wrong, they will only think that Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant has opened a branch.

The group of foreigners who came to the store had been eating for three hours, and not only ate up all the dishes they ordered before, but also added a few servings of beef.

They also ordered four or five servings of candied apples. They seemed to love sweets. They ordered as many as eight servings of pumpkin pie. In a hurry to check out and leave, I sat in the private room and chatted.

Joe was triumphant, with his nostrils upturned, and said, "I'll say my choice must be right."

Others chimed in: "Joe never misses it."

Anson coughed lightly, he really wanted to play against Joe as always, but unfortunately he ate the most candied apples and beef just now, and he even ate a plate of loin slices by himself.

There are also fruits and white fungus soup in the self-service area, including side dishes, which he has eaten a lot.

Anson had to admit that his own prejudice was too deep - but he can't blame him, he also had hot pot in his home country, and many Chinese people said that the hot pot restaurant was authentic, but after eating it, he only felt the strong smell of spices Masks the original flavor of the food.

Let's put it this way, even if the ingredients are broken, few people will be able to eat them if they are boiled in such a pot.

This bias has only now been eliminated.

Spices are innocent, but the abuse of spices is a "sin".

In addition to the geographical location, surrounding environment and interior decoration, this store has indeed achieved the ultimate in cooking.

As for the soup in the pot, he has never had a more perfect soup than the broth here. It is neither thick nor light, and can taste the aroma and umami of the raw materials without feeling bland. After drinking it, it is still delicious. You will feel warm all over your body.

"Take a break and talk to the boss again." Anson stroked his belly, and he had quietly untied the belt.

Fortunately, their program team is all male employees, otherwise he would have to hold his stomach.

Ming Qian was still at the counter looking at the consumption of this group of foreigners. A dozen people actually ate more than 500 yuan. The king of stomach, but the king of big stomach can eat by himself, and this group of people can eat by everyone.

"I was able to eat the most when I was in high school, but I couldn't eat so much." Ming Qian said, "At most two packs of instant noodles, five eggs, and a bottle of mineral water. No more."

Yao leaned on the counter and whispered: "I used to be able to eat it, and I could eat a wild boar, but the wild boar is not as good as the pork raised by the human race. It is not fat, and it is also sexy."

Ming Qian: "I heard that there is a kind of artificially bred wild boar that is delicious."

Yao was stunned: "Is a wild boar raised by humans still a wild boar?"

Ming Qian also thought about it: "Maybe it looks like a wild boar? Are they all black?"

Ming Qian has never eaten wild boar, but he has always heard that wild boar is different from domestic pork. He went to the forum before, and some people started arguing about whether wild boar is good or not.

Some people say that the wild boar has never been steered, and the meat is old and fluffy.

But some people said that the wild pork he ate had no smell, and it tasted very chewy and fragrant, which was completely incomparable with domestic pigs.

After arguing for more than ten pages, it was finally the owner who came out to seal the post and stopped arguing.

However, it should be true that wild boars have no home. Pork fat should be true. Mingqian does not dislike fatty meat, such as barbecue braised pork. The best thing to eat is pork belly. When it is cooked, it is fat and thin. Lean meat is absolutely perfect.

"I want to eat barbecue." Ming Qian swallowed.

Since he opened a hot pot restaurant, he wants to eat anything as long as it is not hot pot.

Although the stone water is amazing and the hot pot at home is delicious, but I am immune to the smell every day, and I often want to change the taste.

Yao also swallowed, his eyes sparkled and he said: "Boss, I also want to eat barbecue."

Ming Qian: "...Then how about, let's go eat barbecue after the business is done tonight, there should be shops that are open all night."

Anyway, except for Mingqian, no one else in the store has high requirements for sleep time.

Mingqian can arrive late in the morning, and can make up for sleep time.

Yao nodded wildly: "Okay, okay, I want to eat beef tongue."

Chen Yan poked his head over suddenly: "I want to eat roasted foie gras."

Yao pursed his lips: "The foie gras is roasted with oil."

Chen Yan shook his head with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said in the tone of a person who came here: "You don't understand."

Ming Qian turned his head and asked You Jun: "Do you want to eat barbecue? I think the taste of barbecue is pretty good."

You Jun has everything to do, but he has recently learned not to spoil the fun: "If you want to eat, go."

"What's the matter? What are you discussing?" Sui Ru walked in from the door. Her hair was messy. After entering, she reached out to touch her own hair, and then said to Ming Qian, "Boss, do you still have a takeaway order?"

Ming Qian: "There are, there are, there are four."

Sui Ru's heart was ashamed: "Boss! You can't catch me all the way!"

Ming Qian said guiltily, "I'm sure we'll be able to find a delivery person this week. You can work hard for a few more days, and I'll pay you extra for your hard work."

Sui Ru became more comfortable: "It's not too bad. I don't need to work hard. Boss, you can buy me a smaller, portable projector. I'm optimistic about it."

"No problem." Ming Qian glanced at the price and felt that it was still within the acceptable range.

Sui Ru asked again: "What were you talking about just now?"

Ming Qian: "Let's go eat barbecue after get off work in the evening."

Sui Ru laughed: "Okay, I'll go to the back kitchen to get takeaway."

Now there are barely enough waiters and workers in the store, but there are not enough delivery staff. If you don’t settle on the platform, you can only find a delivery staff by yourself. According to the situation in the store, the delivery staff must be a strange beast.

Originally, Ming Qian wanted Sui Ru to recommend a fellow clan, but Chen Yan told him that there cannot be two dragons in one place.

Just like if Youjun occupies a hill, he will definitely not allow a second nine-tailed fox to come and snatch it from him.

Some alien beasts have a sense of territory. There can be other races on this territory, but they cannot have the same race.

Mingqian made a mistake this time, Yiyi and the others have wings, and although their flying speed is not as fast as years, they are definitely more than enough to deliver food, but Yiyi and the others can't open their mouths to the human race, and they can't explain if there is any problem with the food delivery.

For food delivery, communication with customers is a must.

Although Sui Ru is not an eloquent takeaway genius, but if a customer finds fault, Sui Ru can explain and go back.

"You Jun." Ming Qian looked at You Jun, and at this time he could only ask You Jun for help.

You Jun raised his chin slightly, his posture was very proud.

Ming Qian looked into You Jun's eyes, and asked with a soft smile, "Can you help me find a delivery guy?"

You Jun staggers his gaze, and doesn't look at Ming Qian's eyes, Ming Qian's eyes are like poppies to him, he can't look at them, but he can't help but nod when he sees them.

He is obviously just an ordinary human race, but he has a pair of eyes that are too clear.

Before Youjun could seek some benefits for himself, the interpreter came out of the private room and said in Mingqian's direction: "Boss, please come here."

Ming Qian stood up and walked towards the elegant room.

He went in once before, and the foreigners asked him what ingredients he used to cook the soup.

Of course, he still used the same old saying. Anyway, there is no soup, stones and water, even if everything is put in correctly, the taste cannot be cooked.

It's just that he didn't expect that there was a Mediterranean foreigner who said it well, and he was right about all the ingredients.

He just asked Mingqian that besides those things he released.

Ming Qian can only say that it is a secret recipe, a secret that is not passed on in the family, unless it is his wife, no one can tell it.

Of course, Mediterranean couldn't be cheeky as his "wife".

Now I ask him again, do you really want to open a counterfeit store abroad?

He still remembers a few foreigners who returned to their own country after finishing their studies in China to open a pancake and fruit shop, and it is said that they made a lot of money.

It’s not a joke to be a country with great food. There may be more food in a province than in a country.

Many Chinese people may not be able to eat all the domestic delicacies in their lifetime.

"Hello, what's the matter?" Ming Qian walked into the private room, and what he saw was a group of foreigners slumped on chairs. They were drinking tea and eating shredded apples on the table while drinking tea. It is not greasy, but it is most suitable with sweets.

An Sen sat up straight with difficulty, and finally formally introduced himself to Ming Qian: "Hello, I am the director of Gourmet World, An Sen, and I am here this time to sign a contract with you. Joe should have already told you about the details. If you have any questions, you can ask them now."

His attitude was somewhat condescending.

But Ming Qian didn't react for a while.

He blinked, and the previously negotiated price popped into his mind. The series of numbers appeared in front of his eyes, which made him unable to calm down at all.

But the other party's next sentence made Ming Qian calm down.

"At that time, the shooting will be the main thing." An Sen took another sip of tea, "You have to fully cooperate with us in the shooting, and if you have other things, you have to postpone it. If you regret it temporarily, or fail to meet our requirements, we will Pay us compensation."

Ming Qian looked at An Sen.

But everyone in the elegant room was looking at Mingqian.

They all thought it was a great honor for this small shop to be on this show.

Many well-known high-end restaurants want them to take pictures, let alone this small shop. They have been standing on high places for a long time, and they are used to looking down on others.

It doesn't even matter whether the hot pot restaurant tastes good or not.

They are the gourmet world. It seems that as long as they are combined with the word "world", they will suddenly become taller, and local delicacies are no longer enough.

Ming Qian: "Then you have to explain in detail what your requirements are. If I can do it, of course I will sign the contract. If I can't, then sorry, I can't sign the contract."

Although Ming Qian likes to greet people with a smiling face, it doesn't mean that he can't understand the expression language of the other party, nor does it mean that he can't get angry.

Probably Ming Qian's tone changed, and the program team also heard it, and his expression was a bit incredulous.

They have also been to China before, and the three restaurants they went to said that they can not pay for the recording of the program, as long as they say more about their restaurants on the program, their purpose is not even to attract foreign customers, but to go to foreign restaurants. The domestic diners will feel that since foreigners think it is delicious, it must not be so bad.

Even going one step further, this store can directly become synonymous with style.

The navy can also play the banner of "winning glory for the country".

If some diners say it’s not delicious, they can still mock you because your tongue is precious. Foreigners who don’t eat Chinese food often think it’s delicious. Which one are you?

They have been to China three times, and they have been praised by the store all three times. After they tried the taste and thought it was good, they did not give the store any money. The store was very cooperative and wanted to offer them up.

Even the money for staying in the hotel is given by the store.

After getting used to being held in high regard, that superior attitude cannot be changed.

On the contrary, they are still not used to Mingqian, who does not support them and wants to bargain with them from the perspective of a businessman.

Someone asked, "Have you seen our show?"

Ming Qian: "I haven't seen it."

Several people suddenly laughed, as if mocking Ming Qian for his ignorance.

The winking look made Ming Qian want to roll his eyes, but he held back.

The other party was not polite, so he had to talk. Ming Qian smiled and said, "Is your program famous? Does everyone in the world know about it? If that's the case, it's because I'm ignorant and ignorant."

Anson touched his head, glared at the man with a froze smile on his face, and cleared his throat: "Our show hasn't gotten that popular yet, but the hits and ratings are very stable. I remember that China also buys it. Our broadcast copyright."

"If your store is on our show, your popularity will also go up."

Ming Qian said very bachelorly: "As you can see, my store is only this big, and the business is very good. It is useless if there is more business in the store."

He is also very honest: "The price is right, and the requirements are not excessive. Then I welcome you to record the show. I open the store to make money."

Joe laughed. He looked up and said to Anson, "You're no use to him."

An Sen snorted, "Okay, handsome guy, let's talk about the specific shooting requirements."

According to An Sen, the place that needs Mingqian's cooperation is actually not good. The shooting of the back kitchen also has a script. If the picture is not suitable, they have to keep shooting until the best picture is captured.

And when and how to do it, there are scripts for these. For the effect of the program, it is necessary to show off the skills while ensuring the beauty of the picture.

Showing off skills can't be rude, it has to look elegant.

What Ming Qian wants to say also has lines, and Ming Qian has to memorize these in advance, so he can't stutter.

Before shooting, the screenwriter will collect materials in the store to write the script.

And this time they came to the program group, the guests hadn't come yet, after the guests came, Ming Qian had to check the script with them again.

After Ming Qian heard this, he was completely dumbfounded.

He didn't know that there was a script for filming a food show, let alone that he even had to memorize his lines.

How is this different from acting? !

But Ming Qian quickly grasped the point: "Shouldn't the filming be finished in a week?"

Anson also told the truth: "It will take at least one month, and you must keep it secret. You can't say anything before the show is broadcast. If it spreads from your side, according to the contract, you will also have to pay a sum of money."

Ming Qian frowned: "One month? I can't do business this month?"

"Sorry, this is different from what you said before." Ming Qian said calmly, "I need to think about it again."

An Sen waved his hand: "Little handsome guy, the amount we paid for the filming is not small."

Ming Qian: "I know."

The money they gave was worth half a year's profit of Mingqian.

Ming Qian: "So I need to think about it. One month is indeed too long."

He couldn't receive customers for a month. He opened a shop, and after the show crew left, he still relied on diners.

Diners are the foundation of a restaurant. It may be because there is no other restaurant that can replace Shanhai Hot Pot Restaurant, but this does not mean that Mingqian can "be pampered and pampered".

Diners may understand that the business is closed for a week, and it is too exaggerated for a month.

Thinking about it this way, Ming Qian didn't have to think about it anymore. He said seriously: "I'm sorry, I thought about it seriously. It won't work for a month. If I can't receive guests for a month, then I won't be able to record."

Someone sneered and said, "You are violating the spirit of the contract. If you hadn't agreed, we wouldn't have come here. Do you know how much it will cost us to come out? You..."

Ming Qian: "I don't know, but I know that when you contacted me, you said it was a week. If you told the truth from the beginning, you wouldn't have made this trip in vain."

"Are you saying we're lying?"

Ming Qian is very calm, even a little indifferent, his expression at the moment is a bit like You Jun: "At least you didn't tell the whole truth."

"Okay!" Ansen stood up, he is the director, he is the biggest in the program group, he carefully looked at Mingqian, a young man, Asian looks young, but he can open a shop, this young man should not be younger than 20 At the age of [-], he could not be tempted in the face of such a large sum of money. He really admired him a little bit, but at the same time, he still felt that this young man was a little clueless.

He didn't cherish the opportunities that many shops couldn't get.

But Anson still felt that this store was worth taking a photo of. He decided to take a step back: "The scene needs to be cleared during the official filming, and it can still be open when not filming."

Ming Qian: "How long is the official shooting? This should be added to the contract."

Anson had a headache, why is this person so serious?

"This can't be finalized, and reshoots and reshoots are not in the plan." Anson told the truth.

Ming Qian: "Then you should at least give me an approximate time."

Anson glanced at Joe.

Qiao has always held the attitude of watching the fun, and he doesn't think Ming Qian's attitude is bad. On the contrary, he thinks it's very interesting to watch Ansen suffer. After being watched by Ansen, he said: "The filming time is one week."

"Don't look at me like that." Joe said to his colleagues, "It's not just nonsense that I reported to him for a week. Did I count it?"

"Extracting the preparation work and only shooting according to the script, plus reshoots and supplementary shots, one week is more than enough."

It's just that other people in the program group are used to taking advantage of the store.

Especially when they come to Asia to shoot, not only can they often not give money, but the store will help them pay for the hotel.

They even paid for their equipment upgrades out of their own pockets.

In Joe's view, they just took advantage of too many advantages and drifted away.

An Sen made a calculation in his heart and thought it was okay, he said to Ming Qian: "What do you think now?"

Ming Qian still didn't agree: "If it can be written in the contract, then we can continue to talk."

It seems that the contract cannot be signed today.

When they checked out, they settled a bill of more than 600.

Mingqian didn't give them a discount either - now there is no discount in the store, it's the same for everyone.

After leaving the hot pot restaurant, the group had to take a taxi back to the hotel. They walked to the intersection, where it was easier to take a taxi.

"What's the matter with him? Another person must have signed the contract with a smile."

"It's the first time I've met a Chinese with such a tough attitude."

Joe, not at all angry, stood beside Anson and said sarcastically, "Did he do something wrong?"

The others were silent.

Indeed, it cannot be said that the owner of the hot pot restaurant did something wrong.

Just his attitude...

Joe: "Is your attitude good? You were still laughing when you were negotiating the contract. What's so funny? If he brought someone in to laugh, would you be in a good mood?"

"Instead, I think he did a good job."

"Joe, where are you from?"

Qiao snorted coldly: "I've wanted to say it for a long time. The gourmet world has been popular, but it hasn't become popular to the extent that everyone in the world has heard of it. If you don't restrain your attitude, the black material will be more popular than the show." gone."

"There was so much black material before, didn't you all go to see it?"

An Sen also agreed on this point, so he didn't interrupt Joe, and the director didn't interrupt. Of course, Joe could continue: "It just happened to teach you a lesson this time. The show is popular, but it doesn't mean you can be arrogant."

After Joe finished speaking, Anson came out to summarize: "This hot pot restaurant is really good and worth shooting. I plan to put it in the first issue."

Compared with Joe's words, Anson's words shocked them even more.

"The first episode? I admit that it is delicious. I have never eaten such delicious food, but the audience can't taste the taste, they can only see the picture and the environment."

"Yeah, what the audience sees is whether the dishes are exquisite enough, whether the cooking steps are complicated enough, and whether the chef's skills are good enough."

"Director, put our ratings in the first issue..."

Anson shook his head: "I think it's very innovative, and this store is also very interesting, and it's because of this environment that it has its own characteristics. Don't we shoot enough high-end restaurants? I think it's the same, and of course the audience also It will be aesthetically fatigued.”

"You don't need to talk about it, I've already decided." An Sen said to the screenwriter, "During this period of time, you should stay in the hot pot restaurant, observe carefully, and write the script carefully."

The screenwriter shrugged: "Of course, when have I been perfunctory?"

"Let's say this one last time, keep the secrecy work well." Anson said with a cold face, "I don't care how outrageous you think putting the hot pot restaurant in the first phase, but if you say it, you must be prepared to go to court. "

After Anson finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Joe.

Only now did he understand why Joe chose this hot pot restaurant.

Whether you can save the declining ratings and word-of-mouth of the show depends on this issue.
