Chapter 559
In just two days, Xue Tian sent some information to Lu Dong's desk, just as estimated before, none of the time-honored catering restaurants in Quannan has a good life, among them Taifeng Garden on Twelfth Avenue, strictly speaking In other words, it means raising a group of people who are used to the comfortable environment of public institutions and don't want to go out to take risks.
Among them are the successors of Fuquanju and Braised Chicken.
It has been passed down to the present, and outsiders can't tell how many generations this sect has been passed down. The information collected by Xue Tian shows that only Yang Feng, who is a single descendant, is left in Fuquanju.
This person is less than forty years old, and he is regarded as the top chef in Taifeng Garden.
As a formal state-run restaurant, Taifeng Garden has a formal career for Yang Feng, who came over from his father's post.
This is not a big deal, after all, among the people Lu Dong knew, the cooks in the county guest house were still well-equipped.
Now that there is an establishment, and after 2000, it means that people will not easily come out to start a business.
After all, it is not the 1980s and 1990s now. The social environment of Ether East is not as big as the establishment. The system guarantees income from droughts and floods. Come out, the whole family, plus seven aunts and eight aunts, can all jump out and object.
Lu Dong remembered very clearly that the stewed chicken restaurant on the roadside, even in Quannan, where it originated, only appeared after 2010.
After seeing these materials and thinking about it carefully, it is not difficult to find the reason.
Getting along with each other, without any special experience, it is estimated that Lu Dong will also fool around with his system.
As for the stewed chicken dish, it is currently one of the main dishes in Taifeng Garden. According to the information collected by Xue Tian, Yang Feng is not the only chef who is good at cooking.
At that time, Fuquanju was merged into Taifeng Garden, and the signature dish "Mengshi Yellow Braised Chicken" has been passed down to the present. More than 40 years have passed. According to the existing information, Yang Feng has carried out the craftsmanship handed down from the older generation. Modern improvements, more suitable for today's tastes.
However, the stewed chicken is far from the signature of Taifengyuan. As a typical Shandong restaurant, the signature dishes of Taifengyuan are stir-fried kidneys, nine-turned large intestine and sweet and sour carp.
Just like the signboard at the door, it has not changed for decades.
Lu Dong also took a closer look at the other time-honored brands. The ones with the best operating conditions are Chunjiang Restaurant and Jufengde located near the Grand View Garden. These have little to do with braised chicken.
Lu Dong called Xue Tian over again: "Focus on the situation of Xiataifeng Garden and Yang Feng, and ask more people."
Xue Tian said: "I have already found someone to do it."
Lu Dong nodded in satisfaction, Xue Tian's work is quite reassuring.
Now that he saw the stewed chicken and wanted to get involved in this industry, Lu Dong naturally wanted to do it better, leaving as few troubles as possible. Only with a more detailed understanding can he make formal contact with people or restaurants.
Although they are all popular restaurants, Braised Yellow Chicken is different from Lu's Hot Pot, Burger King and Lu's Malatang, especially in terms of store opening standards.
Even the Malatang brand with the lowest positioning in Lu's catering, the requirements for opening a store are more than one or two steps higher than that of braised chicken.
Braised chicken restaurants usually have a small storefront in a suitable road section, which can accommodate more than a dozen tables, which is almost enough.
You can also join.
Lu Dong also made some ideas. If it can be done, Uncle Tie’s processing factory will process semi-finished chicken products. The food company in the village has a workshop dedicated to providing ingredients for Lu’s catering. Adding a yellow stewed chicken is not counted. Difficult.
Uncle Tie's processing plant and the food factory in the village, like Lu's catering, are relatively large-scale enterprises. It is much easier for Lu Dong to do something else in the catering industry than when he first started his business, because Not only has the foundation of Lu's catering, but also can get strong support in other aspects.
Needless to say about relationships and resources, in this world, those who are already successful are more likely to achieve the next success.
Lu Dong already had a solid foundation in this regard.
While waiting for more detailed information, Lu Dong received a call from Mu Kun, saying that his Audi 4S shop had recently been completed and a brand new Audi A6 had also arrived.
Lu Dong had called Du Xiaobing a long time ago, and after asking Lao Du's opinion on the car, he told Lu Kun that he wanted him to get two new A6s.
When the car arrived, Lu Dong called Song Na and went to Mu Kun's new store together.
Mu Kun's newly completed Audi 4S store is located on the east-west main road between Quannan East Outer Ring Road and University City. This road has been rebuilt and widened, and some locations have been changed. It was officially renamed Century Avenue and became the main road connecting Quannan City and Qingzhao County.
Near the west side of the university town, several new car 4S sales stores are under construction, some of which belong to the Mu family's business.
Among them, the Audi store was first opened with steel structure and glass curtain wall.
These days, Audi is the official high-end car. There are many benefits of using Audi for driving, such as driving a bread, and asking the guard to stop you at the gate of a certain unit or a certain construction site.
If you drive an Audi, there is a high probability that the doorman will let you go directly.
It is a very common social phenomenon.
Lu Dong and Song Na got out of the car, and Lu Kun went to the parking lot to park the car. The two walked a few steps before Mu Kun greeted them from the shop.
Before anyone came over, a warm greeting came: "Lu Dong, Song Na, welcome, welcome."
Mu Kun came up to shake hands with Lu Dong, nodded and smiled at Song Na.
Lu Dong and Song Na responded one by one, and followed Mu Kun into the store.
"The car has just been delivered, and it will take some time before the official opening." Mu Kun led the way and said as he walked, "I just got a few A6s, and there are quite a few people who want them. I will choose you first, and the rest lean back."
Not to mention personal friendship, Lu's Catering is also one of the most important customers of their Mu family.
Lu Dong gave Mu Kun a lot of face and said, "Brother Mu is righteous."
Mu Kun smiled, and said to Song Na: "Last time I heard from Lu Dong that he was going to give you a car. There are all kinds of Audi models here, domestic and imported. I can also give you a sports car if you want it." Got it. I don’t like Audi, we will go to the warehouse later, there are Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes-Benz prepared for several other stores.”
He intentionally joked: "After all, Lu Dong wants to give you a car, Song Na, whatever you say, you must cut Lu Dong down."
Song Na took Lu Dong's arm and replied, "Brother Mu, just take a look here. I don't know much about cars, and I don't have a specific concept."
Song Na had prepared a long time ago that Lu Dong would give her a car early, and she said that she would wait until the two got engaged.
Lu Dong also understood the meaning of sending the car, and Song Na was unambiguous, and she didn't make too much fuss, just accept it as it should.
Similarly, Song Na also had her own considerations. Lu Dong asked to choose furniture for the new home in Lujia Village together in a few days, and Song Na prepared the money to buy the furniture.
Song Na is not stupid and sweet. Although she has no bad intentions, she has never been a simple-minded person.
In Song Na's view, you buy a car for me, and I buy furniture for you. It's much better to have me in you and you in me, than to have a clear separation between the two.
After walking around the exhibition hall with Mu Kun, Lu Dong asked Song Na for advice, "Which one do you like?"
Song Na pointed to a black A6: "Brother Mu, can you go up and try it?"
In this day and age, the A6 is definitely considered a luxury car.
Without the salesperson's introduction, Mu Kun walked over and opened the car door: "Go ahead and try, do you want to go out for a run? I'll ask someone to drive out."
Lu Dong waved his hand: "No need."
This kind of car is bought to sit in, not to drive.
Song Na went to the car first, sat in the back row first, and tested the comfort level before going to the driver's seat.
Lu Dong sat in the back row without moving, and asked Song Na: "You also like this model? Are you going to see BMW and Mercedes-Benz?"
Song Na said, "I'm going to allocate that Santana to Li Qing. Now that I have a lot of business, there are quite a few formal occasions."
Mu Kun then said: "This car is most suitable for formal occasions, reception, business and business, generally speaking, it is enough."
Lu Dong nodded: "That's right." He looked at Song Na again: "I think it's okay to go and see the BMW."
Song Na knew that the price of BMW was higher than that of Audi, and she said, "Let's take this one. We all want the same car. If any company wants to receive a customer team, it would be nice to drive together."
Seeing what Song Na said, Lu Dong simply said, "Brother Mu, then come three A6s."
"Okay, I'll give you the cost price directly!" Mu Kun didn't intend to make money on this order, and the new car he got was also used for relationship purposes.
He knew Lu Dong well, and he wouldn't owe big favors just because of the car, otherwise, with the scale of cold chain cars and various freight vehicles purchased by Lu's Catering Company, it would not be a big deal to send an A6 directly.
The total price of the three A6s is more than 1.5 million, and two of them are on the account of Lu's Catering Company. When the next billing period is due, Lu's Catering and Mu Kun will settle the settlement in one go.
The other one was given to Song Na by Lu Dong personally. Lu Dong paid directly by swiping his card. After the license plate and other procedures are completed, it will be sent to the University City directly by Mu Kun, just like the first two.
Later, after visiting several other rebuilt 4S stores under the supervision of Mu Kun, Lu Dong and Song Na left.
Mu Kun has a very secure relationship here, and in just two days, three new cars were delivered to the university town.
When the car arrived, Song Na took Lu Dong to the Lujia New Village in the name of visiting the new village. She took a closer look at the new home that was in the final stage of renovation, asked Li Lin for the data of each room, and specifically asked Hu Chunlan's opinion, and then went to Quannan's home furnishing city with Lu Dong to buy brand new furniture.
Lu Dong didn't know Song Na's plan. Seeing that she was so active, he thought that she wanted to decorate their new home. Unexpectedly, when it was time to pay, Song Na knocked him aside and swiped her card.
Not only furniture, but also when buying home appliances later.
"If you give me a car, I have to give you some, right?" Song Na said with a smile, "How much do these add up to? It's far from a car."
"Okay, I'll keep it if you give it to me." Lu Dong understood Song Na's personality, so he didn't say any more.
