Chapter 531 Yang Family Hotpot!
After Luo Yanning wrapped the dumplings, there was nothing left for him to do.
Xu Kejing and Zhao Rui were boiling water in the kitchen, and Zhang Qian was in charge of making the dumplings.
Soon, the dumplings, which looked like silver ingots, were cooked.
"It's delicious! It's so delicious. It's been a long time since I've had such delicious dumplings. The chef's skills are great!"
"Luo Zi, can I be your wife? No car, no house, no betrothal gift. Just make dumplings for me every day."
"Zhang Qian, I made dumplings for you, but you didn't say thank you to me, and you wanted to take revenge on me, right?"
"Get out of here! I know you can't spit out ivory from your mouth."
"you can."
Enemies Luo Yanning and Zhang Qian got into a fight again after a disagreement.
"Okay, you two, I can't even keep your mouths shut while eating."
Gao Min saw that the two people were talking more and more nonsense, so he smiled and stopped him.
"For Auntie Gao's sake, I won't argue with you today. I'll settle the accounts with you another day."
"Next time you want to eat the dumplings I made, you have to call daddy."
"Get out!"
Xu Kejing and Zhao Rui just watched the show and no one interrupted.
It's also fun to watch the two bicker.
Soon, the two small trays of dumplings all went into the stomachs of Gao Min and others.
Several women who usually pay attention to their diet ate too much. Xu Kejing, the smallest eater, ate two large bowls.
As for Zhang Qian, who was said to be the biggest eater, Luo Yanning was counting them for her. She ate a total of 77 dumplings, no more, no less!
The dumplings made by Luo Yanning were neither big nor small, similar to those commonly seen in restaurants. Even a grown man like him couldn't eat that many.
"Zhang Qian, are you the reincarnation of Zhu Bajie? How can you eat it so much! I was thinking that you guys wouldn't be able to finish it in one meal, so I was saving it for cooking something with soup tomorrow morning. I'll finish it in one meal."
"I knew your little dog couldn't spit out ivory, but I didn't know there were two of us now! What's wrong with the big appetite!"
"Are you a bit older..."
"I want you to take care of it!"
"Why are you two starting again? Okay, okay, Ning Ning, hurry up and leave. Didn't you have a dinner date with Xiao Wu?"
Seeing that the two of them were quarreling again, Gao Min hurriedly reconciled and then helped Luo Yanning leave.
"Then I'll go and contact you anytime if you have anything."
Luo Yanning raised her hand and glanced at the Daniel Wellington classic watch on her wrist. It was already past half past seven in the afternoon, which was indeed late.
After saying hello to her mother, Luo Yanning went out to meet Wu Mingshi.
Originally, he thought Wu Mingshi would go back to the ward after making the phone call, but Luo Yanning didn't lock the door when he went out, and opened it as soon as he pushed it.
After entering the door, I found no one. I called Fatty and was informed that the other party was on a call and could not be connected temporarily. ơɱ
"Are you still on the phone with Chen Gang?"
Luo Yanning muttered to herself, turned around and went out to the stairs. As she walked up and down, she heard the fat man's voice inside.
Luo Yanning guessed correctly, Wu Mingshi was indeed still on the phone with Chen Gang.
This cooperation with De Sheng Shoes Industry is of great importance, and there are many things that need to be understood, communicated, or explained.
As the vice president of Qiming Printing Factory, Wu Mingshi should be more careful.
"Forget it, let me contact you about the place to eat."
After Luo Yanning saw the fat man talking on the phone, she didn't bother him and turned back to her ward.
"Eating hot pot, which hot pot in Beijing is the best?"
Luo Yanning was not familiar with the food scene here in the capital at all. It was okay to eat ready-made food, but it would be a bit confusing to ask him to arrange it.
"Why don't you ask Wang Yichen? He is a famous gourmet. You are right to ask him."
As soon as she thought of it, Luo Yanning took out her cell phone, found Wang Yichen's number and dialed it.
Beep beep, beep beep--!
The phone was connected after a few rings, and Wang Yichen's voice sounded on the other side.
"Hey, Your Majesty, why did you remember to call me today? Is there something wrong?"
Wang Yichen's first reaction when he received Luo Yanning's call was that he had something to do with him.
Luo Yanning smiled and joked: "If nothing happens, can't I call you and chat with you?"
"Of course, you are welcome at any time. My phone is switched on for you 24 hours a day."
"Okay, I won't kid you anymore. I'm going to treat you to dinner tonight. You are a native of the capital. Do you know where the hot pot is delicious?"
"You want to eat hot pot? Hahaha, what a coincidence, I'm eating it right now! With the weather like today, it would be a shame not to have hot pot."
When Wang Yichen heard that Luo Yanning wanted to eat hot pot, he immediately laughed.
Luo Yanning smiled and said, "Really? That's really a coincidence. You must be asking the right person."
"That's a must. If you want to say the best hot pot in the capital, it must be Lao Yang Hot Pot in Qianchuanzi Hutong."
"Qianchuanzi Hutong? Lao Yang Hotpot?" Luo Yanning couldn't help but murmured in her heart when she heard the name.
If he hadn't known Wang Yichen's personality, he would have suspected that Wang Yichen was taking pleasure in him.
Wang Yichen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't look at it. This place is not big, the location is not prosperous, and the reputation is not that high, but I can guarantee you that the taste is really great. I'm sure you will want to eat it after you eat it. You will definitely forget it." Not this one."
Luo Yanning continued to ask: "Really? Is the dining area spacious? Is it appropriate to treat guests there?"
Wang Yichen said: "The place is quite spacious. There can be about ten people sitting on one kang."
"Head of the kang?" After hearing Wang Yichen's words, Luo Shuning couldn't help but imagine a scene in his mind where everyone sat cross-legged on the hot pot, eating hot pot and singing songs.
Wang Yichen smiled and said, "This is also a feature of Lao Yang Hot Pot. It's hot. After a meal, I guarantee that you will be warm from the top of your head to the soles of your feet."
"Well, okay, I want to experience it too." For Luo Shuning, the head of the kang is also a novelty.
Wang Yichen continued, "If you want to treat someone to a meal...
If it's not an important client, I suggest you just find a five-star hotel to arrange it.
This place is more suitable for receiving those knowledgeable guests.
If you invite those who don't know the business here, they will think you are stingy.
Only those who know the business know the status of Yangjia Hotpot in Yangqianchuanzi Hutong."
Luo Xuning said, "The guests are not outsiders, they are all family members, and we brothers also want to eat, so let's go there."
Wang Yichen said, "Okay, if you are sure you want to come tonight, I will arrange a room for you. Old Yang will give me some face for my father's sake."
Luo Xuning asked with a smile, "From what you said, ordinary people can't go?"
Wang Yichen said, "You are right. , Lao Yang Hotpot is in the peak season in winter. Now they have already booked all the rooms for the next month. Money doesn't work. People who come here to eat are all rich. "
Luo Shuning said: "Really? Then I'll trouble you this time. I'll treat you another day."
Wang Yichen smiled and said: "You owe me two meals. I'll take a note of it in my notebook."
Luo Shuning said: "I remember it too."
Wang Yichen said: "Then let's do this first. I'll go see if I can ask Lao Yang for some face. I'll call you later."
Luo Shuning finally said: "Okay, if it doesn't work, forget it. Let's go to another place."
"I'll try my best. If it doesn't work, don't blame me. I'll hang up first."
"Okay, hang up."
After talking about business, Luo Shuning hung up the phone with a click of his finger.
Just after hanging up the phone, Wu Mingshi pushed the door open and came in from outside, smiling and saying:
"Luo Zi, where are we going to eat tonight? You decide the place."
Luo Shuning said: "I just called Wang Yichen, he is making arrangements, let's see if it can be arranged."
"Okay, no problem, pick any place!"
Wu Mingshi was rarely generous, mainly because Luo Shuning helped a lot in the Desheng Shoes project.
"By the way, have you invited Mr. Shi from Desheng?"
Wu Mingshi asked with concern while handing Luo Shuning a cigarette.
Shi Mingsheng is Wu Mingshi's future sponsor and one of the protagonists of this dinner tonight.
Luo Shuning said, "I called him and made an appointment at 8:30 in the evening. The place has not been decided yet. Let's see if Wang Yichen can decide later."
Wang Yichen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask Lao Chen to take a taxi to the hospital to meet us. He will probably be here soon."
Luo Shuning exhaled a cigarette and asked jokingly, "Have you prepared the money?"
"Tsk, not much, but there are still some buddies who have 100,000 or 80,000 yuan."
Wu Mingshi's tone of voice is much bigger now.
When he followed his father to deliver goods at Feiyu Printing Factory, he worked so hard that he only made 5,000 yuan a month.
This time, he followed Luo Shuning and easily made more than 100,000 yuan a month. Wu Mingshi is no longer the same as before.
After chatting for a few words, Luo Shuning received a call from Wang Yichen, informing him that Yang's Hot Pot had been arranged and gave him a dining code.
Luo Xuning led people there and just reported their names and dining codes.
At the same time, in a high-end hotel in Beijing.
Wu Mingkai felt bad after hearing what the person on the other end of the phone said.
"Manager Chen, are you... kidding me? Haven't we agreed? This time, the Shishi area will definitely be given to us Feiyu."
"Is there anything we haven't done well? If you are dissatisfied, just tell us, and we will try our best to satisfy you."
"What does the higher-ups mean? Hello, Manager Chen, Manager Chen, Chen..."
"Beep, beep, beep--!"
Wu Mingkai didn't have time to finish his words, and the other end of the phone became silent.
"Fuck you! What the hell! You took my money, but you don't do anything for me. You think I'm a fool, right!"
After hanging up the phone, Wu Mingkai, who was still timid on the phone a moment ago, instantly turned into an angry warrior and kicked a small glass coffee table beside his legs to the side with a clang.
"What...what's wrong, Brother Kai?"
A woman with a pink high-slit skirt and an internet celebrity face who had just come out of the bathroom after putting on makeup was startled by Wu Mingkai's action.
Wu Mingkai looked up at the woman and became even more angry.
In order to win the project, he gave gifts to the manager in charge of bidding and arranged for an internet celebrity anchor to give the other party a massage.
If he can win the project, all these efforts are worth it, and he will be rewarded a hundred times and a thousand times in the future.
In the morning, the other party swore to him that this matter was foolproof.
It was only an afternoon later, and the other party suddenly changed his tone and said that this matter was a failure, and asked Wu Mingkai not to have any more illusions.
What's going on!
Wu Mingkai suddenly felt like "losing both the wife and the army".
"Manager Chen, can you tell me who the business in Shishi area was given to, so that I can give up."
Wu Mingkai took two deep breaths and sent another WeChat message to the manager Chen who had just called.
Ding Dong!
Soon, the other party replied, with only two words: Qiming.
"Qiming Printing Factory? Qiming Printing Factory? Why, why is it them!"
"They... what do they have to compete with our Feiyu!"
Wu Mingkai was upset when he saw the message sent by Manager Chen.
He never thought that it was his brother who intercepted him.
The brother who he always looked down on and despised!
"Impossible, impossible... absolutely impossible, no matter who it is, it can't be them!"
Although the facts were in front of him, Wu Mingkai still didn't dare to believe it, or it would be more appropriate to say that he didn't want to believe it.
...
Whether Wu Mingkai was willing to believe it or not, the facts would not change because of his wishes.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Luo Xuning, Wu Mingshi and Chen Gang arrived at Qianchuan Hutong half an hour in advance.
The alleys in Beijing are scattered all over the place, with white walls and gray tiles, and each alley has its own story.
The alleys look like ordinary lanes, but once upon a time, some big shot might have lived in that alley.
Like a high-ranking official of the previous dynasty, or the former residence, mansion, or house of a certain celebrity.
The alleys and courtyards in Beijing are far less majestic than modern skyscrapers in appearance.
But when it comes to history, no matter how tall the skyscrapers are, they are nothing compared to the alleys and courtyards.
"My goodness, this alley has a history of at least 200 years!"
As Wu Mingshi walked, his head turned to this side and that side like the surveillance camera installed at home.
"You are an outsider, as soon as you open your mouth, I know you are an outsider. Many alleys in Beijing have a history of at least 700 years."
As Luo Shuning walked, he explained and popularized science, saying: "These alleys can be traced back to the time when Dadu was first built in the Yuan Dynasty in 1267.
Hutong is the transliteration of Mongolian, which means that the Hu people and the Han people live together."
"Hu people and the Han people live together? So this is what Hutong means. This is the first time I have heard of it. I have learned a lot today. Mr. Luo is really knowledgeable and talented."
Chen Gang did not miss any opportunity to flatter Luo Shuning. After hearing Luo Shuning's explanation, he hurriedly praised him.
Wu Mingshi turned his head to look at Chen Gang and joked: "Old Chen, you are getting more and more skilled at flattering. Can you flatter me someday?"
Chen Gang smiled awkwardly and explained: "Ahem, Mr. Wu, you are too kind. I am just telling the truth."
The three of them walked and talked for about five minutes before they arrived outside the door of Yang's Hot Pot.
