Chapter 575: Take the advantage back(1/3)
Jiang Qi stayed in Shangdu for three days, ate three meals of Boss Liu's secret braised noodles, and two digestive tablets sponsored by Wang Pingxiu. He finally understood why the boss/leader always brought a subordinate who could drink when he went out to eat and discuss business, so he quickly
Wang Xinghua summoned Shangdu.
When Wang Xinghua comes, Wang Pingxiu has to go back.
It just so happened that the newly recruited free interns at the amusement park and the senior interns from the A and B theater troupes of the Transmission Theater who were about to leave needed excellent instructors. It was just right for Wang Pingxiu to switch back now.
Wang Xinghua has been on vacation for such a long time, so it’s time to get into exciting work.
After receiving the call from her boss, Wang Xinghua quickly went to Shangdu to change shifts with Wang Pingxiu.
To show his concern, Jiang Qi went to the train station to pick him up in person.
"Boss!" Wang Xinghua, who had eaten 3 box lunches, 2 packages of chicken wings, 1 box of braised duck neck and 5 packages of melon seeds on the high-speed train, acted like a boss reporting her latest evaluation when she got off the train.
“The box lunches on the high-speed rail are also terrible. The beef tenderloin with black pepper is terrible, the old duck with tea tree mushroom is terrible, and the chicken with shiitake mushrooms is terrible. The pumpkin is especially terrible! Kung Pao chicken is okay, cauliflower is just so-so, and seaweed eggs are terrible.
The soup is okay and the rice is normal.”
Jiang Qi:?
"Is this the reason why you took the high-speed train for several hours and ate four box lunches?"
Wang Xinghua chuckled: "Our company reimburses transportation, food and accommodation for business trips. I haven't eaten the lunch box on this high-speed rail trip, so I just want to have a taste."
"If I had known it would taste so bad, I would have packed more breakfast from the cafeteria and brought it to the car to eat. The corn, sweet potatoes, sorghum, honey and red beans that Uncle Huang bought online some time ago have arrived. Boss, you don't know that you are not here.
For several days, we ate corn porridge, sweet potato porridge, sorghum cakes and honey red bean porridge in the cafeteria every day, and no one ate the breakfast in the cafeteria."
"If I pack, I can probably pack two buckets of porridge to take away. Everyone will be very happy."
Jiang Qi:……
It can be seen that Huang Fugui bought too much ginseng slices, morels, bacon, and prawns some time ago. Brother No. 1 was short of money, so he bought large quantities of staple food instead.
When it comes to staple food, Jiang Qi feels full.
It's not that he doesn't have a big appetite, or that he doesn't like noodles. Jiang Qi thinks that he has been a child with a normal appetite since he was a child. He is not very picky about food and eats everything except coriander.
In the years when Jiang Bing was a picky eater, when the siblings went out to eat, Jiang Qi was an excellent trash can for leftovers, professionally cleaning up the leftovers. The carrots in the carrot stir-fry and the leftover cucumber cubes in Kung Pao Chicken would all end up in Jiang Qi's bag.
in the stomach.
It’s really... Boss Liu’s bowl is a bit too big.
Jiang Qi used to read jokes on the Internet, saying that there was an obvious difference in appetite between northern and southern people, but the jokes didn't say that people in the Central Plains eat staple food so much!
Jiang Qi didn't know whether people in the Central Plains area were good at eating staple food. He only knew that Boss Liu was very good at eating braised noodles.
When it comes to drinking at the wine table, whoever drinks less will lose.
In the noodle competition at Boss Liu’s house, whoever has a smaller appetite loses.
Jiang Qi, a young man in his 20s, cannot lose to the 40-year-old Boss Liu in terms of appetite.
Not to mention that Boss Liu’s braised noodles are quite delicious, with no other shortcomings except that the pot is a bit big.
In the past few days, Jiang Qi had eaten nothing except braised noodles and digestive tablets.
Before going out in the morning, if you want to eat two lychees, you have to think about it for a while and consider whether eating two lychees will affect your performance in eating noodles today.
"Xinghua." Jiang Qi looked serious, "Do you know the main mission of your visit this time?"
"I know!" Wang Xinghua said confidently, "Let's eat noodles! I'm good at it. Don't worry, boss, I will definitely give you the place to eat!"
"Very good!" Jiang Qi was overjoyed. He took Wang Xinghua back to the hotel to put away his luggage, and headed to Boss Liu's house with high spirits.
At Boss Liu's house, Boss Liu is carefully cooking mutton soup in the kitchen.
In order to welcome Wang Xinghua's arrival, Boss Liu started working early in the morning, making a pot of mutton braised noodles for Jiang Qi, Wang Xinghua and Wang Pingxiu.
To make mutton stewed noodles, you need to use mutton and mutton bones to boil mutton soup in advance. Compared with the three-fresh noodles and five-fresh noodles that Jiang Qi ate two days ago, it is a more time-consuming and labor-intensive version.
For this reason, Boss Liu got up early in the morning to prepare, without even going to work. He did the whole process by himself, starting from buying vegetables, even picking the sheep bones one by one.
Boss Liu is tasting the saltiness of the mutton soup in the kitchen.
"Old Liu, what about that? Boss Xiao Jiang came to our house for dinner two days ago, so just make braised noodles for them every day."
"You said that Boss Xiao Jiang is a young man who doesn't like the wine table culture and doesn't like drinking. Instead of setting up a table in the so-called star-rated restaurants outside and opening two bottles of wine and getting drunk, why not come to our house and make a pot of braised noodles?
I can understand why Boss Xiaojiang feels comfortable having a taste of home-cooked food."
"But isn't that theater manager here today? If you make it so grand and Boss Xiao Jiang is here, won't it appear that we don't respect him too much?" Boss Liu's first wife Xia Lu asked worriedly.
"No." Boss Liu smacked his lips and thought it was a bit bland, so he sprinkled some more salt into the pot.
"Manager Wang is here and we are talking about business!"
"Although boss Xiao Jiang is young and promising and a nice person, he doesn't know how to act!"
"I've finally figured out in the past few days that Boss Xiao Jiang is a complete layman. What a great show "The Mulberry Picking Girl"! He doesn't understand!" Boss Liu looked sad and took a mouthful of mutton soup sadly.
Then Boss Liu changed the subject.
"But Manager Wang is different. That little girl is the original author of "The Mulberry Picking Girl" I told you about when I came back last time. She is so young that there is no limit to her age!"
"The cooperation we are talking about this time is mainly related to opera. Although boss Xiao Jiang can make the final decision, he cannot handle the facts. If we really want to negotiate and implement it, we have to talk to Manager Wang."
"The meetings in the first two days were just appetizers, today is the main meal where we talk about business."
With that said, Boss Liu thought the mutton soup was good and decided to take a separate bowl to try it first.
"Why did you drink it all by yourself? What if Boss Xiao Jiang and the others want to drink a few more bowls during the meal?" Xia Lu slapped Boss Liu's arm that was not carrying the soup rudely, "Stop decorating!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Boss Liu poured the spoonful of soup that had not been poured into the bowl back into the pot with tears in his eyes.
Xia Lu looked at the dishes in the kitchen and nodded with satisfaction: "We have the braised noodles. I will stir-fry two more vegetables later and ask Aunt Wang to go to Xuji to buy some braised vegetables. That's enough for today's meal."
"Old Liu, are you sure that this home-cooked meal is enough to get down to business?"
"Enough, absolutely enough!"
"I asked Team Leader Wang that Boss Xiao Jiang attaches great importance to our business in the capital and will follow us throughout the process. After the cooperation is over, I will ask Boss Xiao Jiang to go play around, without delay!"
"Okay." Xia Lu nodded, "Get the small bowl!"
"Can't you tell that Boss Xiaojiang has a small appetite? Look at how much you supported Boss Xiaojiang yesterday, and today you're changing to a smaller bowl!"
On the other side, in the taxi, Jiang Qi and Wang Pingxiu were doing the final pre-war mobilization work with Wang Xinghua.
"Xinghua, do you know what today's task is?" Wang Pingxiu looked serious.
"I know, help the boss get the business back!" Wang Xinghua was full of confidence.
"Confused!" Wang Pingxiu lamented and glanced at Jiang Qi, who was playing with his mobile phone with his head down, and felt that his performance could be tempered a little.
Wang Pingxiu adjusted his expression and tone, lowered his voice, and said: "This is a secondary task, the main task is to discuss cooperation."
"Ah? Cooperation?" Wang Xinghua was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted, "Oh, I know. But it has nothing to do with me, and I don't know how to teach."
"Isn't this your job, dad? We have changed shifts!"
Wang Xinghua looked like she didn’t know. My biological father, you didn’t learn bad things just a few months after you came to modern times, and learned to leave the work to your daughter, right? Your daughter is just a baby over 100 years old, and I can do it alone.
I can’t do two jobs!
"On the surface, this is yours." Wang Pingxiu winked at Wang Xinghua, "This has been agreed upon by the cooperative boss, and we are left to polish it up."
"Polishing is very important. We have to talk about the details today. You have to let Boss Liu know our strength, so that they can feel free to let us use them."
As he spoke, Wang Pingxiu lowered his voice: "I have already found out clearly from Reporter Zhang, Reporter Huang and Reporter Duan that Boss Liu is not simple."
"Oh?" Jiang Qi became interested.
He ate noodles at Boss Liu's house for a few days and felt that Boss Liu was an unconventional boss like Han Guishan.
He has a big appetite, loves to eat pasta, talks loudly, is cheerful and loves to laugh, but he just has the word simplicity etched on his face.
"Boss Liu has a lot of resources for commercial performances." Wang Pingxiu said.
Jiang Qi's eyes lit up.
He knew that it was not easy for any theater owner to be able to run a large theater that mainly sells theater tickets and support two theater groups A and B in this era when opera is not prosperous.
Commercial acting is a good thing.
Ms. Xu's agency must be rich enough. The 2.08 million Pegasus snack cart was guaranteed to be rented without blinking an eye, showing the word "wealth and wealth" to the extreme.
As the most popular female star of this agency, Ms. Xu also has to accept commercial roles.
There is still a lot of work to do. When I am particularly busy around the Spring Festival, I can run three times a day.
If a popular star like Ms. Xu can be accepted into commercial roles, of course theater troupes can also be accepted into commercial roles.
The Caotai troupe that Boss Feng used to travel from village to village was the commercial performance of the theater troupe.
Taking the village as a unit and singing it village by village, you can make a lot of money by singing it during the Spring Festival.
Leader Feng's opera training class was so poor in business. He didn't starve to death in the first two years because he had a career in commercial acting.
The atmosphere of opera here in Shangdu is very strong. Big operas are performed during temple fairs, and there are even more good performances during New Year's Day. Rich and lively families often invite opera troupes to the village to sing operas when they hold weddings, and even in real estate.
When the real estate is opened, there are also opera troupes invited to perform. It can be said that there is gold everywhere.
