Chapter 252： Don't dare to "line" with the big devil

Zhang Fenglin looked at the partner's mobile phone and showed the coordinates of the old street, and his expression suddenly became a little complicated.

The partners continued to nag, thinking that if they opened the store to the old street, they could show their ambitions in the old street. Zhang Fenglin used the craftsmanship of the chef of Fujinglou to beat the crowds in the old streets.

Zhang Fenglin's apprentice Liu Quan finally couldn't help but said: "Boss Ji, we can't go to that street to open a shop."

Ji Renjie looked at Liu Quan and asked in a puzzled way: "Why? Is it because that old street is going to be rebuilt? Don’t worry about that. I have asked my friends to find out that the street is going to be repaired as old as it is. Demolition as a whole.

Moreover, many shops over there are changing hands at low prices because of news of rebuilding. This is just our opportunity. "

Ji Renjie weaves a bright prospect for the master and apprentice.

"We started with a shop at a reasonable price. We could use the reconstruction of the old street as an excuse to keep the price down, and we would rent it directly for three or five years at a low price.

Then we don't just move in, let's watch the changes first, and wait for the renovation of the old street over there to start, then we will renovate.

Approximately the progress is about the same. After the renovation of the old street is completed, we will also renovate, and our restaurant will open directly, so that we can seize the opportunity. "

Ji Renjie really weaves a very bright prospect, as if their restaurant will be an instant success by then.

Zhang Fenglin's face was very bad, and finally couldn't help but say: "Old season, we should not even think about going there to open a restaurant. Our current place is already in the best location. It is the same if we manage the restaurant well. of."

After hearing Zhang Fenglin's words, Ji Renjie was really helpless: "Old Zhang, I really don't have to change places, but you have actually seen that our current business is very poor."

After a pause, Ji Renjie said very seriously: "And I tell you the truth, the reason why we can't do business here is because we don't fit in with the atmosphere here."

Zhang Fenglin looked at Ji Renjie with some doubts. He didn't quite understand what the so-called "atmosphere was out of place" meant?

Seeing that Zhang Fenglin didn't quite understand, Ji Renjie could only say: "Lao Zhang, to put it simply, some things in our restaurant can't keep up with the preferences of the young people here, and they are out of date."

Zhang Fenglin still doesn't understand. After so many years of cooking, how could he suddenly fall behind here?

Could it be that no one appreciates the traditional old cooking skills?

But the business of Fu Jing Building is still very good?

When Ji Renjie saw Zhang Fenglin, he still didn't understand, so he could only pull Zhang Fenglin out of the restaurant, standing in front of their restaurant and pointing around.

"Look at it for yourself. The place where we are standing now is a modern commercial center. The restaurants here are mainly Western food, and there are all kinds of online celebrity shops, which are full of fashion features. thing.

Compared with others, a store like ours is really incompatible with this place. We are too traditional. "

Zhang Fenglin stood in front of the door and looked around, surrounded by tall buildings with glass walls.

The place where their restaurant is located is a circular commercial food street, surrounded by modern streetscapes, with very beautiful floor tiles at the foot, and modern buildings around each other are connected by flying bridges.

Looking at it this way, Zhang Fenglin also had to admit that it seemed that a restaurant like theirs was indeed incompatible with this place.

Next to their restaurant, there is a very famous western restaurant.

One is a fashionable restaurant full of fashionable elements, which is very suitable for young people's petty bourgeoisie plot.

Sandwiched by these two families, Zhang Fenglin's restaurant really doesn't have any advantage. The guests who come here don't even want to take a look at their home.

Liu Quan followed out at this time and stood beside Master. Seeing Master looking around, the expression on his face gradually became a little helpless.

Finally, the apprentice couldn't help saying: "Master, in fact, I have heard some passing guests say before that our decoration is too earthy, and our dishes are not fashionable at all."

This situation really made Zhang Fenglin feel deeply frustrated for the first time.

Obviously, he has learned the art of cooking for many years, and has even become a top chef, the chef of the most famous Fu Jing Lou.

As a result, he opened a restaurant now, which is no better than some second-rate and third-rate ordinary cooks next to him.

All this is really a blow to Zhang Fenglin.

Even this kind of blow was even bigger than the blow he was driven away from Fujing Building, where a young girl in the Fujing Building took his place.

Seeing Zhang Fenglin's silence, Ji Renjie's expression gradually became very bad.

Ji Renjie hurriedly said: "Lao Zhang, I don’t blame you for this. You don’t have to blame yourself. This is mainly due to my original address selection. I shouldn’t choose such a place. It doesn’t suit our characteristics and it’s not suitable for you. Identity.

So Lao Zhang, let's change places and go to that old street, where is the most suitable place for us, I believe we will regroup there. "

After listening to Ji Renjie's words, Zhang Fenglin suddenly came back to his senses, smiled and asked, "Lao Ji, how much did you invest in this restaurant?"

Ji Renjie was a little strange: "What are you asking about this? Oh, don't worry, you don't have to think about that little money, we should try the water, and then we will try again in another place."

Although Ji Renjie is not a rich boss, in fact, this restaurant did not spend much of his money in such a short week.

That's why Ji Renjie thought of changing places as soon as possible, finding a more suitable place, and stopping losses in time.

Zhang Fenglin thought for a while and said, "Lao Ji, you rented this shop. At that time, you paid three months' rent and added a deposit. The total should be nearly 500,000 yuan, right?"

Ji Renjie nodded subconsciously and continued to ask strangely: "Lao Zhang, what do you mean? You really don't have to be so clear. Since we are a partnership, I am ready to lose money."

Zhang Fenglin nodded and said, "Well, I am also ready to lose money, so I plan to give you the rent, and I will bear the risk for the next six months alone."

Ji Renjie was stunned for an instant, and Liu Quan was also stunned.

Zhang Fenglin said very seriously: "I am the head chef of Fujing Building. I have been a chef for more than 20 years. Now I am really disappointed, but I can't be beaten down, I can't just give up like this.

So I decided to work hard for half a year. I will continue to stay here. Then, according to the actual situation of the surrounding area, we will redecorate our shop. I will also make some improvements to the dishes. "

Having said this, Zhang Fenglin looked at Ji Renjie who had been stunned and could not speak at all.

"I can't let you try with me and follow me to lose money, so I decided to return the money you invested. I will bear all the next risks alone. If it doesn't work in half a year, then I will admit it."

Ji Renjie was really completely confused.

But Liu Quan looked at Master, but he seemed to understand what he meant.

The master is not willing to bow his head, the master has his pride, he still has to stick to it. It is necessary to prove that he, as the former chef of Fu Jing Lou, is capable of running his own restaurant.

At this moment, Liu Quan felt that Master had become very tall and responsible.

Ji Renjie finally came back to his senses, and asked a little puzzled: "Why? Lao Zhang, you should have noticed this week, we may really not be suitable here."

Zhang Fenglin shook his head and said, "No, it's only a week. I won't just give up like this."

Ji Renjie looked helpless: "But, obviously we have a better choice, we can succeed more easily."

Zhang Fenglin looked at Ji Renjie and asked very seriously: "Do you think that we moved to the old street, and after the reconstruction of the old street is completed, we will open the business there, it will definitely be better?"

Ji Renjie said with certainty: "Of course, I did a survey over there. It belongs to the traditional cultural area. The cooking skills you learned in Lao Zhang must be the most suitable over there. I dare say that Huaicheng is no better. You are more suitable."

When Liu Quan heard this, he couldn't help but look at Master, feeling that what Ji Renjie said was too much.

Not to mention the top devil on the old street.

If Zhang Fenglin is the most suitable for Huaicheng, why was he driven out of Fujing Building by a little girl?

Of course, Liu Quan thought about these words in his heart, but he didn't show any disrespect to the master. He just felt that Ji Renjie's hand-killing was too obvious.

Sure enough, Zhang Fenglin heard it and said directly: "You are clearly killing me, Lao Ji, you really don't know, is there a real culinary master hidden in that old street?"

Ji Renjie asked strangely: "The devil of the culinary world? What do you mean?"

Zhang Fenglin continued: "This word is that I recently took the time to chat with my son. He watched some cartoons. I heard a word from him, that is, in that old street, there is a stronger one. The existence that cannot be defeated."

Ji Renjie was a little surprised: "Yes, is that right? There is such a existence? Even more powerful than the girl in Fujinglou?"

Having said this, Ji Renjie hastened to apologize to Zhang Fenglin: "Ah, I'm sorry Lao Zhang."

Zhang Fenglin didn't mind: "The girl at Fujinglou is a young girl, and she is indeed very strong, but compared to the one on the old street, she is a little ant who doesn't become a climate."

Ji Renjie was even more surprised: "Lao Zhang, didn't you deliberately scare me? Are there such powerful people? Will you open restaurants in that old street?"

Zhang Fenglin did not answer, but instead asked, "Lao Ji, where did you notice the old street?"

Ji Renjie said: "Oh, isn't this the latest issue of the Philippine common evidence? I see many people are watching and talking, so I took a few glances and felt that the atmosphere of the place really suits you. Chef Zhang."

Zhang Fenglin then asked: "Then have you watched the episode of the program that the Philippine plausible witnessed?"

Ji Renjie was taken aback for a moment: "I really haven't finished reading it."

Zhang Fenglin nodded: "Well, then you'd better go and finish it, and then you will understand everything."

Ji Renjie hesitated for a while, watching Zhang Fenglin and Liu Quan's master and apprentice very seriously, he could only walk back to the restaurant. Take out the phone, connect to the WI-FI of the restaurant, and look for the video on the phone.

Zhang Fenglin continued to stand at the door, observing the surrounding environment. This was the first time he had taken such a serious understanding.

During the week he was here, Zhang Fenglin spent most of his time in the kitchen, and he rarely observed the surroundings so carefully.

Today's partner Ji Renjie's remarks, on the contrary, made Zhang Fenglin begin to face the problem squarely.

After all, he is no longer the head chef of Fu Jing Lou.

Now I do business on my own, so everything needs to be calculated on my own. Many things have to be observed and carefully considered. I cannot expect another operator to do it for myself.

Zhang Fenglin stood at the door to observe, and noted some shops that were frequently visited by people.

He decided to visit those shops to find out the preferences of some of the customers and the characteristics of those shops.

Zhang Fenglin has already decided in his heart that he will never retreat easily this time. He will surely cheer up and work hard again, relying on his own ability to open a restaurant of his own.

Now his goal in his heart is Su Ji, but he also knows that he can't really do what Su Ji does.

But Zhang Fenglin decided to stick to his own path, just like the generations of Su Ji.

After carefully taking down the locations of some nearby shops, Zhang Fenglin also planned a way to explore the shops.

At this moment, Ji Renjie’s exclamation sounded from the restaurant: "I’m going, is this true? God, is this a dish? This is just a work of art, I don’t even know about it. , Does Huaicheng really have such top chefs?"

Hearing Ji Renjie's exclamation, Zhang Fenglin also led his apprentice Liu Quan back to the restaurant.

Walking to the front of Ji Renjie, Zhang Fenglin smiled and asked, "Now, do you think it is okay for us to open a store in Laojie?"

Ji Renjie was stunned for a long time, and then said directly: "Who said that? Who said that he is going to open a shop there?"

Liu Quan couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, Teacher Ji, you are really too real? Didn't you still say that my master is the best one? Going to open a store over there is absolutely popular."

Ji Renjie was uncovered, and said helplessly: "Okay, I admit, I have eyes and no beads. I really didn't expect that there is such a true **** hidden in the old street."

Zhang Fenglin nodded and said: "He is indeed a true god, a great demon king, after all, he is the true heir of Su Ji, and I only learned a little bit from Su Ji."

Hearing this, Ji Renjie was a little surprised: "Lao Zhang, you just said, have you also studied in this Su Ji?"

Zhang Fenglin glanced at his partner and then at the apprentice next to him. In the end, he didn't continue to conceal, and he told the story of his father who had been forced to go to Su Ji to learn to cook.

Not to mention Ji Renjie, even Liu Quan heard it for the first time. He didn't hear much the last time the master chatted with Feng Yifan.

Liu Quan didn't expect that Master would be so rebellious when he was young, let alone that Master would speak out frankly.

After listening to Ji Renjie, he was taken aback for a while, and suddenly said: "Great, Lao Zhang, since you have such a relationship, you can go to Su Ji to learn from the great demon king. He has stayed abroad, definitely Know how to deal with the two stores next to us."

Ji Renjie's words moved Zhang Fenglin very much, but when he thought that he might meet his father when he went to Su Ji, Zhang Fenglin was a little afraid.
