The Era of Hard Work

Chapter 782

Dengfeng City in Southern Henan Province is famous for one mountain and one temple, and it has created one of the most prosperous characteristic industries in the country - martial arts school!

How many martial arts schools or martial arts training classes there are here, it is estimated that people in Dengfeng can't figure it out.

How many of them are really related to Shaolin Temple, it is even more like looking at flowers in the fog and looking at the moon in the water.

It is normal to rely on mountains to eat mountains, and to rely on temples to eat temples.

In the western suburbs of Dengfeng City, Fu Zhaoxia and Qiao Weiguo drove west in an Audi car rented by the company.

Qiao Weiguo looked out of the car window from time to time. Five years have passed, and the changes here have been great, and he is almost unrecognizable.

The local driver parked the car at the gate of a compound and said, "Here we are, Manager Fu, do you think this is it?"

Fu Zhaoxia looked at Qiao Weiguo with concern, Qiao Weiguo nodded, opened the rear door and got out of the car.

The Audi car is parked on the side of a two-way, two-lane ordinary road. Next to it is a large iron gate. On the iron gate, there is a curved steel beam across the gate post. The iron plate is welded. It may be in disrepair, and the paint has faded. , covered with rust.

But it can be vaguely recognized, there is a line of big characters written on it - the world's martial arts come from Shaolin!

Under the steel beams, two large iron doors were tightly closed. On the doors that were close together, an iron chain as thick as a baby's forearm was tied, and a huge lock was hung on it.

The concrete floor in front of the iron gate cracked, and countless weeds stubbornly emerged from it, and the tallest ones almost grew to the waist.

On the walls on both sides of the iron gate, there are many slogans painted, some about family planning, some about crackdowns, and advertisements for martial arts schools.

Under the direct sunlight, Qiao Weiguo, with a bald head, stood in front of the grass not far from the big iron gate, quietly looking at the iron gate blocking his view, without saying a word.

Fu Zhaoxia came from behind and stood in the sun with Qiao Weiguo.

The martial arts school is closed, judging from the iron gate and the gate, it has been closed for more than a year.

Fu Zhaoxia looked at Qiao Weiguo, wanted to speak but held back.

Sweat was streaming down Qiao Weiguo's bald head, he stretched out his hand to wipe it, and then he remembered, and quickly turned his head to see that the face of Xiao Fu next to him was covered with sweat, and the light makeup he put on before going out was almost gone.

"Let's go." Qiao Weiguo pulled a dog's tail grass.

Fu Zhaoxia asked, "Don't watch it?"

Qiao Weiguo shook his head: "It's all closed down, there's nothing to see."

The two returned to the car, Fu Zhaoxia opened the bag, took out the wet wipes, first asked Qiao Weiguo to wipe off his sweat, then found a cotton pad, and picked up the small mirror.

The local driver asked curiously: "Have you practiced martial arts here before?"

Qiao Weiguo answered, "I've been studying for a while." He asked, "When did this Shaolin martial arts school close?"

The driver master thought about it carefully, and said: "It seems that we can't recruit students. It was closed around 2000, and later it was rented to another martial arts school. It was closed after a short time. I don't know the details. , Dengfeng has nothing else but many martial arts schools."

He asked, "Manager Fu, Mr. Qiao, where are you two going next?"

Qiao Weiguo said, "I'll find a store or a supermarket and I'll buy something, and then I'll go to the Songshan Cemetery."

As soon as the driver heard it, he knew that Qiao Weiguo and Fu Zhaoxia were going to Songshan Cemetery to pay respects. After asking for confirmation, he took them to the corresponding store to buy good things and rushed to Songshan Cemetery.

Qiao Weiguo had attended the coach's funeral, and before leaving Dengfeng, he had come here to worship. It was impossible to demolish and rebuild the cemetery. It was still the same layout as before. It didn't take much effort, so he took Xiaofu to find the place.

When I came to the tombstone, I opened the wine bottle and poured the wine, and burned the paper money again.

Knowing that the coach likes to buy things, Qiao Weiguo burned hundreds of millions in a row before stopping.

Xiaofu was careful, picking up the paper money that was still burning, so that it would be completely burned.

Qiao Weiguo stood in front of the tombstone, looked at the name engraved on the tombstone, and remained silent.

He is a simple person, but no matter how simple he is, he has realized in the past few years that the coach does not treat him as he thought before.

But the lights go out when people die.

Qiao Weiguo didn't care about the past, just muttered silently: "Master, I will help you fulfill your wish. I hope you will have a good life down here."

After reading this, he silently added: "I burned hundreds of millions of paper money, you should not be short of money, so don't burn the oil pan down below."

After the paper money was burned out, Fu Zhaoxia made sure that the fire was all extinguished, so she stood up and stood in front of the tombstone with Qiao Weiguo.

Qiao Weiguo had a good life in the past few years. To the coach, he had no resentment, regret, or criticism. He just muttered a few words silently, and said to Zhaoxia, "Let's go."

Fu Zhaoxia glanced at the tombstone, nodded: "Let's go."

The two of them left the cemetery one after the other, got off the car and went back to downtown Dengfeng.

On the second day, Qiao Weiguo accompanied Fu Zhaoxia to sign a cooperation agreement with Shaolin Temple on behalf of Lu's Catering in front of countless media reporters.

Thanks to the huge reputation of Shaolin Temple and Lu's Catering, once the media reported it, it caused a huge sensation.

As soon as Shaolin Zhai restaurant announced its opening plan, it became popular all over the country.

This is also the key to Lu Dong's willingness to cooperate with Shaolin Temple.

The gold-lettered signboard of Shaolin Temple is very easy to use these days.

Later, according to the agreement signed by the two parties, Lu's Catering and Shaolin Temple jointly invested and registered a new catering company in the high-tech industrial district of Quannan City. The company was named Shaolin Temple Catering Management Co., Ltd.!

The name of the new company is Shaolin Temple, for the sake of publicity. In fact, it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lu's Catering, with Lu's Catering accounting for 70% of the shares.

The daily operation and management of this company is fully in charge of the Fu Zhaoxia team dispatched by Lu's Catering. Shaolin Temple can send financial supervisors, but they are not allowed to interfere with the company's daily operation and management.

Both investors will share dividends in proportion to their shares.

However, there is still a lot of work to do to open a shop, especially in terms of recruiting and training chefs.

Yang Feng, the general manager of Lu's Catering R&D Department, led the team to Shaolin Temple to investigate when the negotiation reached an agreement, and prepared a menu suitable for Shaolin Temple culture and the corresponding standardized production process.

This is not like making relatively simple hot pot or Western fast food. It takes a certain amount of time to train qualified chefs.

Lu Dong discussed with Yang Feng several times, discussing whether the dishes in the menu can be made and disassembled after the large-scale opening in the future, and the semi-finished products will be processed by the processing factory assembly line, and the store kitchen will only carry out the last step of processing.

Probably like Taifengyuan Braised Chicken.

These all need to be explored and explored.

…………

"Vegetarian dishes? What's so good about this thing?"

On the square in front of Lujia Village, Lu Jianren sat on a stone stool in the pavilion and said to Lu Dong, "Even if the cooking is fancy, can there be meat dishes that taste good? Hard vegetables! Hard vegetables! Only meat can be called hard vegetables!"

Lu Dong sat opposite Uncle Qi: "It's different, it's different, Uncle Qi, now that many people have money, they are more picky about food than they were a few years ago. healthy!"

Lu Jianren disagreed: "Is the material healthier than meat?"

The iron rooster wandered over and just heard Lu Jianren's words. He entered the pavilion and said, "Isn't it! It's healthier than meat and vegetables! Lao Qi, you see that life has improved in the past few years, high blood pressure, high blood fat, diabetes, a There are more than one, how did it come about? It’s all because of good food! I haven’t heard experts say that this is called a disease of affluence!”

Lu Jianren exhaled a puff of smoke: "It's as if I didn't have these diseases before."

The iron rooster sat down and said: "Look now, it's cancer, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. When I was eating bran swallowed vegetables in the early years, how could there be so many messy diseases!"

"You..." Lu Jianren kept shaking his head: "Old Tie, I'm not talking about you, you don't have any brains when you talk and do things."

The iron rooster asked back: "What do you mean I don't have a brain! I didn't have so many before, okay?"

Lu Jianren retorted: "In the early years, the conditions were not good. The family members were old and sick. Didn't they always ask the doctor in the village to see them? Well, go to the town to see, how many people went for CT examination? Just find some medicine to take, if you don’t have enough money to cure it, just wait for black and white to come to your door, what diseases can you find out?”

The iron cock was speechless.

Lv Jianren gained power and was relentless: "Not to mention anything else, let's just say that in our village, our grandfather's generation, if they can live to sixty years old, they will be considered a long life, and most people will die when they are fifty years old? Even if they can live, All the old ones don’t look good, but they are not the same as now, they are more than 60 and they are quite strong.”

Iron Rooster frowned, turned to Lu Dong and asked, "Dongzi, is he right?"

Lu Dong said: "I don't know anything else, but those who are fifty, at the same age, are generally stronger than before... Oh, yes, and the average life expectancy in our country has been continuously increasing."

Iron Rooster nodded: "It seems to be the case."

Lu Jianren pointed at him: "Old Tie, you are such an idiot, and you still open a factory to do business, that is, Dongzi pulls you, or you will be cheated to death."

Iron Rooster waved his hand: "Go! Go! Go! Old Qi, you can't get ivory out of your dog's mouth!"

These two brothers have been noisy all these years, and the big guy has long been used to it.

After the iron rooster left, Lu Jianren said: "The golden cicadas in our village have been planted, and they won't be able to grow this year. We have to wait for two or three years. If we want to eat, we have to buy them outside."

He asked: "By the way, are there any mountains and buffaloes in the mountains of your daughter-in-law's hometown?"

Lu Dong said: "It will only come out after it rains, and it is usually hard to catch." Thinking of Uncle Qi's kindness, he rarely does not scratch: "Our county is preparing to launch a development plan for the southern mountainous area, and Song Na wants to promote her hometown Shishi The village entered it, and I agreed with her to go to the mountains to have a look in two days, maybe stay there for two days to play, if it rains, I will catch some for you."

Lu Jianren grinned: "Okay, I'll just wait for your Shanshui Niu to drink."

Lu Dong's ugly words came first: "This thing won't come out until it rains, and I won't move it if it doesn't rain."

The two of them were talking, when the second grandmother came from the east, and before she arrived, she yelled: "Lao Qi! Lao Qi! Hurry up and go home and have a look! Nail's teacher is here to visit!"

Lu Jianren was surprised: "The teacher came to visit? What are you doing here? This brat won't cause trouble..."

Lu Dong urged: "Hurry up! Go! Go back and have a look!"
