The heavens set sail from the courtyard

After Wang Gang moved the car away, he pushed the tricycle towards Mr. Guan's courtyard. Guan Xiaoguan followed behind Wang Gang silently without saying a word.

She was shocked by Wang Gang's driving skills.

Yang Xue asked the driver to drive the car out of the alley to wait for her, and then followed Guan Xiaoguan.

"Why are you following us?" Wang Gang turned to Yang Xue and asked.

"Who is following you? Xiao Guan invited me to her house, can't you? Do you still need your consent?" Yang Xue held Guan Xiaoguan's arm and said proudly.

Guan Xiaoguan seemed to be angry with Wang Gang on purpose, and said loudly on purpose: "Sister Yang Xue sent me back, can I express it?"

Wang Gang shrugged indifferently and continued to walk forward.

The three of them walked for a while and saw the gate of the old man's house. Yang Xue couldn't help but ask:
"Why are you so good at driving? Have you ever been a driver before?"

Wang Gang said casually: "I've never done it before. I don't even have a driver's license. How can I be a driver?"

Yang Xue and Guan Xiaoguan opened their mouths in shock.

"You don't have a driver's license, how can you drive!" Guan Xiaoguan shouted: "You are called driving without a license. If you leave it with us, you will be locked up by the police."

Wang Gang frowned, stopped, turned his head and said to Guan Xiaoguan: "Xiaoguan, let me remind you again, you are from the Hua Kingdom, from now on, put away the tricks of fake foreign devils in front of your master."

Seeing Wang Gang's cold eyes, Guan Xiaoguan suddenly panicked.

"Master hates people who worship foreigners the most in his life. If he knew that his granddaughter was such a person, he would be furious." Wang Gang said with cold eyes.

Guan Xiaoguan took a step back subconsciously, being caught by Wang Gang's aura.

Yang Xue helped Guan Xiaoguan, but she was not afraid of Wang Gang and said directly: "Why are you scaring Xiaoguan? Didn't she just return to China and she hasn't adapted yet!"

Guan Xiaoguan also came back to his senses, immediately straightened his back, and said confidently: "I am definitely not like that in front of Grandpa."

"Yes is the best." Wang Gang said coldly.

After finishing speaking, Wang Gang turned his head and continued to push the cart forward. Guan Xiaoguan lost his momentum and his body went limp again.

"Master, are we back?" Wang Gang just brought the two girls in and shouted towards the yard.

Mr. Guan came out very quickly, his steps were obviously lighter than usual, it could be seen that he was also anxious to see his granddaughter.

"Little lazy cat?" Mr. Guan couldn't help being taken aback when he saw Wang Gang bring back the two girls.

"Grandpa." Guan Xiaoguan stepped forward and gave the old man a hug.

Mr. Guan was a little uncomfortable with hugs, and his body became stiff when his granddaughter hugged him.

"Women's university avoids father." Wang Gang quickly pulled the switch, and the old man was relieved.

Guan Xiaoguan caught a glimpse of Wang Gang's cold eyes, and also remembered Wang Gang's previous advice.

"Grandpa, I'm so happy to see you."

The old man nodded and said: "We are a country of etiquette, and we don't practice foreign methods."

Guan Xiaoguan stuck out his tongue, and the old man looked at Yang Xue again.

"Is this your friend?"

Guan Xiaoguan happily pulled Yang Xue over and said to the old man: "This is Sister Yang Xue, the friend I just met after getting off the plane?"

Wang Gang was afraid that the old man would not understand the situation, so he took the initiative to explain:
"This is Miss Yang Xue, the daughter of the chairman of Southern Yang's Department Store. We met at the Canton Fair before and happened to meet at the airport."

Mr. Guan scanned Wang Gang and Yang Xue with his plain eyes, then nodded.

"Since we are all friends, let's stay for a light meal tonight!"

Wang Gang said: "Ms. Yang has other things to be busy with, so she won't have dinner with us tonight."

Yang Xue said deliberately: "I have nothing to do tonight! We can have dinner together."

Guan Xiaoguan also pulled Yang Xue and said to the old man: "I promise sister Yang Xue that I will treat her to dinner tonight."

The old man gave Wang Gang a playful look, and finally said, "In that case, let's go eat shabu-shabu together in the evening."

Wang Gang didn't really want to have dinner with Yang Xue, but he didn't want to refute his master's face either.

To eat shabu-shabu, it was natural to go back upstairs. Wang Gang had greeted Tao Zi early in the morning and asked him to reserve a table.

Wang Gang first put down Guan Xiaoguan's luggage, and then took the three of them to the building.

The business going back to the building today is still booming, even better than last month, and Taozi is a little too busy.

As soon as Wang Gang arrived, Cai Xiaoli greeted him first.

"Chunming, you've come, I've reserved a table for you, and you greet yourself." Cai Xiaoli said to Wang Gang, holding two plates of food.

Wang Gang and Cai Xiaoli nodded, and then took the person to sit down.

"The business of this hot pot restaurant is good enough." Yang Xue said as soon as she sat down.

Guan Xiaoguan said with some displeasure: "Can we go somewhere else to eat? It tastes so good here!"

Yang Xue was puzzled and said: "This is the taste of authentic Sichuan hot pot, it is very fragrant!"

Guan Xiaoguan grew up abroad, and his eating habits are somewhat Westernized. He is not used to spicy hot pot and other spicy food.

Wang Gang specially brought a mandarin duck pot, half spicy and half clear soup.

"After a while, you will cook a non-spicy pot." Wang Gang said.

Guan Xiaoguan looked at the people next to him, and said, "Is it just cooking like this? Don't use serving chopsticks? Everyone's chopsticks are soaked in the pot, it's too unhygienic!"

Mr. Guan explained: "Hot pot, known as antique soup in ancient times, is named after the sound of gurgle when food is put into boiling water. It is an original delicacy in our country, and it is also a food suitable for all ages.

Hot pot is not only a way of cooking, but also a symbol of culture. "

Wang Gang also said: "Hot pot has a history of more than 2000 years here. Everyone eats it like this, and no one gets sick from eating it."

Seeing that Guan Xiaoguan still cared a lot, Yang Xue suggested, "Xiaoguan has just returned to China and is used to the meal sharing system abroad, otherwise we should prepare two pairs of chopsticks, one pair of serving chopsticks for cooking and one pair for eating."

Guan Xiaoguan's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Sister Yang Xue, this is a good idea."

Yang Xue said with a smile: "I used to work as an interpreter for foreigners, and they are also used to using two pairs of chopsticks."

Mr. Guan said with an unhappy face, "We are not foreigners."

Wang Gang knew Mr. Guan too well. He was originally from that era and was obsessed with traditional culture.

"Master, let's do this! I'll ask Taozi to change the small pot for us. We each have a pot. It's the same way when Lafayette used to eat."

Mr. Guan's expression softened slightly.

Wang Gang hurriedly found the waiter, changed the small pot, and asked Guan Xiaoguan to choose the bottom of the pot.

"The service of this hot pot restaurant is good." Yang Xue sighed: "People who like to be lively use big pots, and those who pay attention to hygiene use small pots. The boss really knows how to do business!"

Wang Gang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but didn't say anything.

Mr. Guan said proudly: "Teacher, did you come up with this idea?"

Wang Gang smiled modestly.

"Are you the owner of this hot pot restaurant?" Yang Xue asked in surprise.

Wang Gang said: "This store was opened by me and my friend in partnership."

Yang Xue suddenly became interested and began to observe the hot pot restaurant carefully. The more he observed, the more surprised and suspicious he felt.

As the daughter of Yang's Department Store, Yang Xue has been to many restaurants, including the famous hot pot restaurant.

But this was her first time seeing a store like Zai Hui Lou.

She found that the waiters in the store are very service-minded, everyone has a smile on their faces, and they take good care of the customers.

What's even more rare is that the store pays great attention to hygiene. Wherever it is dirty, someone will clean it up immediately, especially in the bathroom.

In short, this is a hot pot restaurant with service in its bones, which is very different from ordinary restaurants.

Yang Xue couldn't help but wonder, and asked Wang Gang: "If you hire so many waiters, won't the personnel costs increase?"

Wang Gang cooked meat for Mr. Guan, and said: "The owner of my shop focuses on word-of-mouth, taste and service, and doesn't pay attention to profit."

Yang Xue understood Wang Gang's thoughts instantly.

"You want to do a brand store!"

Wang Gang looked at Yang Xue with admiration. She was indeed the eldest lady of Yang's Department Store, and her business vision was different from others.

Chinese people in this era are only interested in immediate profits, and wish to save costs to the extreme and earn maximum profits.

But Wang Gang wanted to do the opposite. Even if the monthly profit of the hot pot restaurant was not high, the money he and Taozi each received was only 100 yuan, but he still wanted to spread word of mouth.

What he values ​​more is brand building!
Once the brand is successfully established, profits will naturally follow.

"Do you still need investment in this store?" Yang Xue asked Wang Gang with bright eyes.

"It's not needed for the time being." Wang Gang said, "I'm already preparing to open a branch."

Yang Xue said anxiously: "I only pay for shares, not management rights."

Wang Gang continued to shake his head and said: "I'm sorry, I don't want to expand too fast for the time being, I plan to do it step by step."

Hearing this, Yang Xue admired Wang Gang even more.
