Siheyuan: Starting at 52, I, He Daqing, will not run away

Chapter 54



"I'm afraid that Manager Chen will be disappointed. For the time being, this shop only has a boss, but no boss lady!"

He Daqing shook his head and said,"Besides, what I said is the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask Captain Zhao to see if this is the case."

"That's definitely a must!" Captain Zhao smiled and affirmed:"In the entire Zhengyangmen Street, everyone knows that Shopkeeper Chen is a flower here. What Shopkeeper He said is absolutely right."

"Hehe, is that an exaggeration? I am a little embarrassed by what you two said."Chen Xueru giggled, and she was full of charm.

Her every frown and smile showed her charm, like an attractive peony blooming.

"Of course I am. I am an honest man and I never tell lies!"He Daqing said seriously.

Who is He Daqing?

In his previous life, although he could not be called the King of the Sea, he was definitely not a pure little virgin. Dealing with a little girl in the fifties, wouldn't it be easy?

A few words made Chen Xueru smile and laugh.

It's not that Chen Xueru is easy to fool.

It's that most people in this era value boys over girls and are seriously chauvinistic.

It would be strange if you asked them to praise a woman like this.

In addition, the little girls of this era are still very innocent. Let alone a love veteran in the future, even if you just bring a licking dog from the future, you can lick it accurately and let him evolve from a licking dog to a sea wolf king.

He Daqing felt that he was only a difference in age and appearance.

Otherwise, it wouldn't take more than three days for him to trick Chen Xueru to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a certificate.

Now?

We can only take it step by step.

Under the deliberate guidance and flattery of He Daqing, the three people standing at the door of the store chatting was a high He was so excited that he forgot the time.

Of course, it was mainly He Daqing who was talking, and Chen Xueru and Captain Zhao were listening.

What were they talking about?

Talking about history, food, the Forbidden City, Daqianmen, Suzhou embroidery, Sichuan brocade, contemporary poetry, foreign literature, and even the big brother in the north, the United States across the sea, Britain, Germany, France in the West, etc., they can all talk to you about one, two, three, four, and five.

Thinking of He Daqing's previous life, he was on the Internet, Baidu, Zhihu, Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Kuaishou, and a certain website. What kind of topic had he not seen, and could he be stumped by a little girl?

All kinds of witty remarks continued, and the listeners couldn't stop.

So much so that at the end of the chat, Chen Xueru's eyes looked at He Daqing in an instant.

She admired him so much that there were almost stars in her eyes.

In fact, let alone Chen Xueru, even Captain Zhao of the 227 Engineering Team of the Street Office next to him listened with relish and felt that he had gained a lot.

The shopkeeper He in front of him was a truly knowledgeable and capable person, and was definitely not a simple bun shop owner.

"Manager He knows a lot. Are you really just a steamed bun shop owner?"

Captain Zhao came back to his senses and asked curiously, but he was thinking more.

He Daqing was not surprised to hear Captain Zhao's doubts. He said in a nonchalant tone:"Hey, what's so strange about this?"

"When I, He Daqing, was eight years old, I started hanging out in my family's restaurant. When I was fourteen, my father ran off with someone and the restaurant was gone, so I went to Jifenglou to learn cooking, and then to Tanjiaguan, Fengzeyuan, etc. I went from all over the world, both at home and abroad. What kind of people have I not met?"

"I have seen and heard this many times. I just need to think about it a little bit and I will almost understand it."

He Daqing said with a smile, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

In fact, it was true.

This is how the predecessor He Daqing came all the way.

Although he was not well-known in the chef business in the old city, his network and connections were definitely not shallow. He had worked in more than one big restaurant. There was no problem in using this reason to explain his knowledge and experience.

After all, it is well known that restaurants are the best places to train people.

Especially the waiters and shopkeepers, who are welcoming and welcoming, and have to agree with everyone they meet. The more people they meet, the more they understand, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Hearing this reason, Captain Zhao nodded, indicating that he agreed with this reason.

On the contrary, after hearing what He Daqing said, Chen Xueru, who was standing aside, asked in surprise as a woman with a flood of maternal instincts,"Did Shopkeeper He's family run a restaurant before?"

"That's right!"

He Daqing nodded, and then continued:"It's just that my restaurant is not in Daqianmen, but in Xidan District. It's called He's Restaurant, but it closed down when the Japanese invaded Beijing. I guess you two haven't heard of it."

"This restaurant is the property of my second uncle. Because my cousin is not very good at business, he sold it to me at a low price."

"So I'm going to use it to open a steamed bun shop."

He Daqing didn't hide his identity, origin, and relationship background, but spoke out openly.

First, if you don't explain it clearly, who knows how many people will speculate, secretly whisper, and report you as a spy.

Secondly, since He Daqing wants to pursue Chen Xueru, he must show off his assets a little. After all, this woman is different from Xu Huizhen and Qin Huairu. She is a strong type and a typical strong woman.

If you don't show some ability and surpass her in some aspects.

Want to take her down?

It's impossible.

She is a real businessman. Whether it is doing business or love and marriage, she will consider it from a businessman's perspective, not just wanting to be a little woman who lives at home.

As for the last point, it is to bring out her own The title of the cheap second uncle will eliminate the gap between himself and the people in Daqianmen, so as to avoid being targeted and excluded.

Chinese people are xenophobic.

Especially when doing business, if an outsider wants to gain a foothold in the local area, he will definitely be excluded by the locals and targeted by his peers.

Especially in Daqianmen, there are five theaters that are famous throughout the city, and there are countless other teahouses, restaurants, noodle shops, steamed bun shops, and large restaurants, at least dozens of them.

To gain a foothold in such a prosperous commercial place, it is not enough to have a skill, but you must also have certain relationships and connections.

He Daqing brought up Guan Shan's name to tell his peers and residents in Daqianmen that although he is an outsider, his family has lived and run businesses here for decades, and he is half of their own. There is no need to be so repulsive and resistant.

And who is Guan Yushan?

That old man was the tax officer of Zhengyang Gate in the previous dynasty, and he was also sworn brothers with the other three tax officers of the four gates in Sijiu City. The four of them joined forces and could almost control and suppress the entire business of the outer city of Sijiu City.

What do you think of his weight!

To be even blunt, now all the shops in Zhengyang Gate, as long as they are time-honored brands, everyone knows about this old man. No matter who it is, they have to give him some face.

What?

You said that Guan Yushan had retired after the demise of the previous dynasty and had no control over Zhengyang Gate?

Ha, if you really think so, you are wrong.

If that old man really has no ability at all, why do you think that old man is still called the Nine Gates Admiral after the disappearance of the other three tax officers?

And he can still... In the turbulent times that have come, a person lives comfortably in a big house, drinks two taels of wine whenever he has nothing to do, and no matter how turbulent the outside world is, it can't affect him. Those who can do this are really simple people?

And with this relationship.

As long as He Daqing doesn't touch the fundamental interests of those big restaurants in Daqianmen, such as running to the door of Quanjude and Bianyifang to sell roast duck, running to the door of Taifenglou to make stir-fried dishes.

These people will more or less give some face to old man Guan and will not take the initiative to suppress him.

Of course, thinking of the great era wave in the future that is about to sweep across the entire Shenzhou.

These restaurants, big restaurants, etc. in Daqianmen will all be unable to protect themselves, and I think they don't have the time and energy to suppress newcomers.

But no matter what, it is still very effective to bring up the name of Uncle Guan Shan, the cheap second uncle.

For example, Captain Zhao, who had some doubts about He Daqing before, immediately changed his expression after hearing that Shan was He Daqing's second uncle, and said in a friendly manner:"No wonder Manager He was able to buy it and return to the building, it turns out there is such a relationship."

After saying that, he did not forget to ask:"I wonder if Grandpa Guan is in good health now?"

"Captain Zhao knows my second uncle?" He Daqing was curious. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Upon hearing this, Captain Zhao said with admiration:"Hey, if you're saying that, is there anyone in our Daqianmen who doesn't know Grandpa Guan?"

"If it weren't for Grandpa Guan leading everyone to fight with all their strength, our Daqianmen might have been in ruins.���What a mess they were made of by the Japanese devils, traitors, and puppet troops."

Captain Zhao sighed, as if he remembered the difficult years.

He Daqing was also very surprised to hear this, obviously he didn't expect that his cheap second uncle had such a glorious history.

But although he was surprised, he could understand it.[]

After all, if Guan Yushan had not made any contribution, how could he have safely survived the turbulent years in the future with his identity as a tax official in the previous dynasty?

"Thank you for your concern, Captain Zhao. My second uncle is in good health now."

He Daqing responded with a smile.

Although he has not met his cheap second uncle yet, He Daqing knows how comfortable the old man Guan Shan is from the plot of the TV series"Zhengyangmen".

Of course, that being said, the real situation is probably only known to Guan Shan himself.

After all, according to the memory of his previous life, the old man Guan is only in his early fifties, but because of the times, he has to stay at home all day, close the door and refuse visitors, and fiddle with some antiques.

Whether he is really comfortable or not, only he knows it.

But this old man Guan is also smart. He has dealt with all the business stores in advance.

In this way, even if the great era comes, it will be difficult to implicate him.

Chen Xueru, who was on the side, was a little younger after all, and had not heard of Guan Shan's name, so she was a little puzzled by the performance of Captain Zhao of the engineering team.

But she is a smart person, knowing what to ask and what not to ask, so she did not ask about this matter, but smiled and said:"I didn't expect that Manager He has such a connection with our Zhengyangmen."

After saying that, she asked with a curious look on her face,"I'm just curious. Since Manager He's family used to run a restaurant, why didn't they reopen the restaurant after they returned to the building, but instead started a business selling buns?"

He Daqing didn't answer this question directly when he heard it.

Instead, he stood there and looked Chen Xueru up and down, smiled mysteriously, and said vaguely,"This question requires Manager Chen to figure it out by himself. I believe that with Manager Chen's intelligence, he will definitely be able to figure out the reason."

The smarter the woman, the more curious she is.

Especially a woman like Chen Xueru.

He Daqing felt that as long as Chen Xueru couldn't figure out the reason, she would think about him every day, thinking back and forth about what he meant by this sentence.

Seeing that Chen Xueru wanted to continue asking.

He Daqing waved his hand and said,"Don't ask. If you ask, it means that I am not well-trained and I don't have the capital in my hands, so I have the will but not the strength. I can't afford to go back to the building and support the signboard of He's Restaurant."

He still understood the principle that trouble comes from the mouth.

Therefore, he would not mention the matter of public-private partnership in the future.

After hearing He Daqing's answer,

Chen Xueru frowned tightly and began to think from her own perspective why He Daqing did not open a restaurant but a steamed bun shop.

It can only be said that women are really like cats, with extraordinary curiosity.

At this time, Chen Xueru felt like a cat was scratching her heart, and she always wanted to figure out this problem.

Afraid of being suppressed by peers?

Can't find a restaurant chef?

There is a shortage of supplies in the market, and there is no supply channel for alcohol and other items. ?

Or is it really like he said, because he is not well-trained and has no capital, he cannot support a restaurant?

Chen Xueru stood there and thought for a long time, but she couldn't understand why He Daqing didn't open a good restaurant, but opened a bun shop. Thinking about He Daqing's last sentence that looked down on him, she hated him so much that her teeth itched.

After a long while.

Chen Xueru came back to her senses, rolled her eyes at He Daqing in a charming way, and said angrily:"Oh, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it. It's like you care about no one. I don't want to chat with you here anymore. I'm leaving first."

The beauty was angry and showed dissatisfaction.

He Daqing was not in a hurry, he just smiled and said:"Okay, shopkeeper Chen, take care!"

"I'm really sorry for coming here today. You came at a very good time. My shop is not yet decorated. I'm afraid that you might dirty the Suzhou embroidery of Shopkeeper Chen."

"Otherwise, I, Old He, will definitely entertain Shopkeeper Chen and Captain Zhao, and let you taste my cooking skills."

Although I covet Chen Xueru's body.

But He Daqing also knows that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. There is a long way to go. A woman with a strong opinion like Chen Xueru must be dealt with slowly, and you can't use the same tricks to deal with her as a country girl.

In addition, if you really want to pursue a woman, you can't treat her as a goddess. Sometimes, letting her have some emotions appropriately will make her remember you.

As a result, the shopkeeper Chen in front of him directly remembered He Daqing.

She smiled and said,"Okay, Shopkeeper He, I remember what you said. I'm just waiting for your bun shop to open."

"I want to see if Manager He's buns are really as delicious as Manager He said, and that Manager He would rather give up opening a restaurant and switch to selling buns."

Obviously.

The woman said that she didn't care about what He Daqing said before, but she had remembered it in her heart. She might still be thinking about why He Daqing didn't open a restaurant.

He Daqing didn't explain, but just smiled and said,"Manager Chen, you are too kind. I really don't have the ability to open a restaurant, so I can only switch to opening a bun shop to make a living."

"As for my craftsmanship?"

"On the day of the opening, I will be waiting for your visit and let you give me some comments."

He Daqing said with a smile, not saying how good his buns were, but just talking about his cooking skills.

After all, family members know their own business.

His bun-making skills are definitely not as good as Eryouju, and he can't even rank in this Forty-nine City where there are many hidden talents. After all, his bun-making recipe is only a low-level recipe in the system evaluation, not even a mid-level one. If he really wants to be the best in this Forty-nine City, it would be too much of a disdain for China's five thousand years of culinary heritage.

So if he wants to gain a foothold in Daqianmen, he has to rely on other dishes and show some real skills.

"Okay, just listen to what Manager He said, and I will definitely show my support when the time comes."

"You two continue chatting here, I'm leaving first, see you later!"

Chen Xueru said with a sweet smile.

After that, she waved her hand, turned around and left for her own silk shop.

Her lotus steps moved lightly, gracefully.

Every move was full of the etiquette of a lady, swaying and charming, which made the old man He Daqing very excited.

As the saying goes: willow waist, lotus face, graceful spring breeze, charming face and charming heart.

At this moment, He Daqing admitted that he was moved.

He was shameless, he was lowly, he just coveted people's bodies.
