Chapter 349: The hotel opens
After preliminary preparations, Zhao Baliang's hotel finally opened. On the day of the opening, it was definitely a huge momentum. Not only did Liu Yun attend the opening ceremony on behalf of the Central South Provincial Catering Association, but even Han Rui, who was far away in the provincial capital, also made a special trip to attend the opening ceremony, and personally led a team to interview!
In addition, Hu Ling'er, who was in the United States, also called Zhao Baliang with blessings, "Baliang, I'm really embarrassed, I'm really nervous about filming now, and I really don't have time to go back." On the phone, Hu Ling'er apologized for a while.
"Ling'er, why are you still so polite with me. Besides, didn't you call too?" Zhao Baliang said with a smile: "Okay, hurry up and go to bed, if I'm not mistaken, it's already night in the United States, right?"
"It's just getting dark. Hu Linger said, apologized again, and then hung up the phone.
"Baliang, we're a little nervous, will anyone really come to shoot in a while?" Lu Li said to Zhao Baliang a little helplessly. Because early in the morning, Zhao Baliang told Lu Li that people from the provincial TV station might shoot some pictures of them cooking in a while, and interview them by the way, yes, Lu Li and they were nervous.
"Don't worry, it's all our own. You just follow the usual steps when cooking, don't panic, just treat the interviewer as air. Zhao Baliang knew that Lu Li and the others had not gone through such a big battle, and it was normal to be nervous.
When Zhao Baliang was interviewed for the first time, wasn't he nervous?
"Baliang, don't worry, I'll tell them and tell them not to be nervous. Lu Li nodded and hurriedly walked towards the back kitchen.
"Uncle Baliang, do you see these flower baskets arranged like this?" On the grounds that Zhao Baliang opened, Jin Jingjing said that she had taken a day off, which made Jin Jingjing beautiful. In the past, she couldn't rest except on weekends. Moreover, many times, even on weekends, she has to work overtime โณ As the successor of a large company, Jin Jingjing is undoubtedly hard.
"Okay, that's it, don't ask me about this kind of trivial matter. "Zhao Baliang is now a busy first two big, Jin Jingjing still has to ask about any trivial things, which makes Zhao Baliang speechless for a while.
"Sister Liu, a few bigwigs of your catering association, please ask you to help me take care of it, I'm really too busy......" Zhao Baliang said to Liu Yun with a headache, he didn't expect the opening to be so troublesome. As the boss, he really has to be thorough, and he has to deal with many things personally.
"Go ahead, I'll watch for you here. Liu Yun smiled slightly, and fell into, she could understand Zhao Baliang's current situation very well, because she had come over like this at the beginning.
"Mr. Zhao......" Zhao Baliang just turned around and was about to go to the back kitchen to have a look, when he suddenly heard someone call his name, and when he looked back, it was actually an old acquaintance.
Walking towards Lin Rong quickly, Zhao Baliang said, "It's Secretary Lin, it's really a rare guest." Zhao Baliang didn't expect that Lin Rong would come, but it was much beyond his expectations, Sun Bin called him to congratulate him, and at the same time faintly said that it was not appropriate for him to participate in this kind of business activity.
Zhao Baliang can also understand what Sun Bin meant, after all, he is the mayor of Jiangcheng, if he comes, the officials below will definitely guess the relationship between Zhao Baliang's hotel and him, which is not good for him and Zhao Baliang. It is precisely because of this that Sun Bin called in advance to congratulate.
Gently holding Zhao Baliang's hand, Lin Rong said: "Mayor Sun is not here, entrust me to be a representative." I'm here in a private capacity!" Lin Rong said that when he came in a private capacity, he deliberately raised his voice so that everyone present could hear it.
After all, many people present knew Lin Rong and knew that he was Sun Bin's secretary, and at this time, in order to avoid suspicion, he had to emphasize that he was coming in a private capacity, so as to avoid causing trouble for Sun Bin.
"Welcome Brother Lin. Zhao Ba said loudly, and didn't call him Secretary Lin anymore.
Smiling and nodding, Lin Rong said, "Okay, Mr. Zhao, you don't care about me, I know you're very busy today, I'll do it by myself." โ
After repeatedly expressing his gratitude, Zhao Baliang continued to work on his own affairs.
The opening ceremony is scheduled for 10 a.m., and soon, the time is approaching, and everyone who should be here has arrived!
After a brief opening ceremony, everyone walked into the restaurant. At this time, Han Rui also took the reporter of the provincial TV station to start filming.
"Baliang, your hotel is really creative!" Han Rui said with great appreciation: "It's the first time I've seen such a restaurant." โ
"I think it's also a visual pleasure for customers to watch each piece of food become their favorite food. Of course, the most important thing is that this can intuitively tell customers that our kitchen is very clean and dispel customers' doubts.
"I heard that you are still growing vegetables on the rooftop, can you take us to have a look?" Han Rui looked at Zhao Baliang again and asked.
Smiling and nodding, Zhao Baliang said, "Of course it's no problem." "The vegetables on the rooftop, after a few days of growth, coupled with the stimulation of the Ganlin secret technique, are now full of vitality. The rooftop has also been decorated into a sky garden.
In the hot summer, even if you don't do anything, sitting in the vegetable garden on the rooftop is a great enjoyment.
"Come, take pictures of them all......" As soon as she saw Zhao Baliang's rooftop vegetable garden, Han Rui was completely stunned, she could still come like this, this is simply a miracle.
"These vegetables are cruelty-free and can be eaten as is. Zhao Baliang said, picked a tomato, wiped it with his hand, and ate it, "You see, this tomato is ripe, and there is no ripening agent......
Seeing that Zhao Baliang ate with relish, Han Rui couldn't help but pick one, imitated Zhao Baliang's appearance, wiped it, and stuffed it into his mouth.
As soon as he took a bite, Han Rui couldn't help but praise: "It's delicious! It's so delicious!" Then, regardless of the image, he took a big gulp.
Seeing Han Rui's appearance of not eating for hundreds of years, the staff of the TV station were stunned! Sister Han Rui, who has always been vigorous and ruthless and capable, would actually do such a thing, which really shocked them!
"You all have to try it, this delicacy is not to be missed. Han Rui didn't realize whether her current actions were out of shape, and said directly to the staff of the TV station.
"These cucumbers and tomatoes can be eaten...... Zhao Baliang pointed to the vegetables in the vegetable garden and said to them.
The staff of the TV station was suspicious, picked cucumbers or tomatoes, and then followed Zhao Baliang's example, wiped them briefly, and stuffed them into their mouths. When they took their first bite, they were completely shocked, this vegetable is so delicious!
"Delicious, better than fruit. "A director of the provincial TV station said completely disregarding the image ยง The stuff is full, and the speech is not clear.
"Baliang, how did you grow these vegetables? It's so delicious!" Han Rui said excitedly, and the movements in her hands didn't stop, if it weren't for the bag she carried with her was too small, it is estimated that Han Rui would have emptied Zhao Baliang's vegetable garden.
"My Miss Han, you have to pay for picking so much!" Zhao Baliang couldn't help but quipped: "My vegetable garden is open to the public, and after picking, we will directly process it, but we need to pay for it." โ
"Isn't it okay to give you money? Han Rui glanced at Zhao Baliang and said, "If you eat some vegetables, you have to raise money, how can you be like this." โ
Being teased by Han Rui like this, Zhao Baliang was also a little embarrassed, so he had to let Han Rui and others pick it.
After a while, Han Rui and the others walked off the rooftop with large bags. At this time, those who came to attend the opening ceremony had already eaten the first meals of the restaurant! Although they were all home-cooked food, and they were not as good as the big hotels, the tempting aroma alone made them want to feast.
Although he was very confident in his own dishes, Zhao Baliang still picked up a small notebook and asked these people for their comments one by one, so as to make it easier to improve! Although there are not too many problems in the taste, because of the taste of the rural people, some people put more salt and some people put less salt. In this way, the difference in taste of the same dish is obvious.
"This is indeed a problem...... "Zhao Baliang recorded and thanked him.
Soon, Zhao Baliang collected more than a dozen opinions. Although most of these opinions belong to the eggs and bones, they are indeed some things that need to be improved, and Zhao Baliang naturally accepted them humbly.
The people who came to attend the opening ceremony left after eating. After all, they are all people with their own affairs, and it is not easy to attend the opening ceremony.
In the afternoon, the restaurant was temporarily closed, only Zhao Baliang and some staff remained, Zhao Baliang briefly talked about the business in the morning, and then focused on some improvement suggestions. For example, the question of how much salt to put must be unified.
Rural people, because they often exert physical strength, are accustomed to eating more salt. However, for these white-collar workers sitting in the office, the salt is too heavy to eat.
Lu Li and the others nodded hurriedly, "Baliang, we will pay attention to this problem." โ
"There are still some small details of the problem...... "Zhao Baliang said the dozen or so opinions collected one by one, "Okay, today's trial operation is very successful, and we will officially open tomorrow, I hope you will make persistent efforts!"
Because it is not open this afternoon, Zhao Baliang will give the big guy a holiday to rest, and make every effort to prepare for tomorrow's official business. And Han Rui and the others, at this time, were already on their way back to the provincial capital.
Before leaving, Han Rui didn't forget to pick a big bag of tomatoes and cucumbers, because these vegetables are indeed delicious, even better than fruits.
"Sister Han, don't you have a stomach?" A young man who was driving the car, seeing that Han Rui had already eaten a big bag of tomatoes and cucumbers, finally couldn't help but ask. That's the amount that's enough for at least three adults.
"Huh?" Han Rui came back to her senses, and when she looked at the bag of vegetables she brought back, there was less than a third left, and even she was shocked, she was so able to eat it!
Moreover, now Han Rui feels that she can eat the remaining one-third. Because it was so delicious, she couldn't stop at all!
"It's all Zhao Baliang's fault, I have to grow such delicious vegetables. "Miss Han Rui didn't look for her own problems, but blamed Zhao Baliang. If Zhao Baliang heard Han Rui's words, he would definitely cry out for wrongdoing.
