The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Tao Zi pulled Wang Gang out of the office and took him back to the street opposite the building. He turned left and walked a few steps to the entrance of a hot pot restaurant.

Wang Gang discovered that the hot pot restaurant hadn't hung a sign yet, but the decoration style couldn't be said to have nothing to do with going back to the building, it could only be said that it was exactly the same.

If Wang Gang hadn't found the location of the branch himself, he would have thought he would go back to the branch downstairs after arriving.

"When did you open another branch without telling me?" Wang Gang teased Taozi.

Tao Zi said angrily: "You are still in the mood to laugh now. This store is obviously trying to imitate us before going back upstairs."

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "Just imitate him! As long as he doesn't put up a sign saying he won't come back to the building again, we can't control him."

Imitation in business is simply unavoidable, especially as the domestic business environment is like this. If a business becomes popular, copycats will soon spring up like mushrooms after a rain.

Tao Zi said seriously: "Many waiters in the store have told me that the owner of this store has contacted them and wants to recruit people with high salaries."

Wang Gang said indifferently: "Is anyone changing jobs?"

Taozi shook his head and said: "Not so far. It's not like you don't know that the treatment given to employees in our store is unmatched by any other store in the entire capital."

Wang Gang said confidently: "If someone wants to change jobs, let them go. Sooner or later they will regret it."

Taozi worriedly said: "The owner of this store obviously wants to take advantage of him and then go back to the building."

"Real gold is not afraid of fire, whether the business is good or not, in the end it is better than real materials." Wang Gang asked: "Have you found out who the owner of this shop is?"

Taozi nodded and said, "I've checked it a long time ago. The boss is still someone we all know."

Wang Gang thought about it and said uncertainly: "It can't be Cheng Jianjun, right?"

Taozi said in surprise: "You can guess this."

Wang Gang sneered in his heart and said: "It's really him. That's right. He is the only one who would use such shameless means."

"Do you want me to teach Cheng Jianjun a lesson?" Taozi said unwillingly.

"No need, if he wants to make a hot pot restaurant, let him do it!" Wang Gang sneered.

Taozi said unwillingly, "I can't swallow this breath."

Wang Gang smiled and patted Tao Zi on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Cheng Jianjun opened the store opposite us. It was the worst decision he made. There will be times when he will regret it in the future."

Tao Zi thought the same thing, the quality of Hui Hui Lou is there, and he is not afraid of any competitors.

Wang Gang said: "Look back and pay more attention to the recipe of the hot pot base. Don't let outsiders interfere when making the pot base."

"Don't worry! Xiaoli also told me to pay close attention to the formula. During this period, when I was making the pot base, I always carried people behind my back. Your second brother even wanted to see me but I didn't agree." Taozi said with a smile.

Wang Gang narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and asked, "My second brother?"

Tao Zi nodded and said: "Your second brother came to the store two days ago and kept praising the fragrance of our pot bottom. He insisted on seeing how I fry the pot bottom."

Wang Gang became alert and asked, "You didn't show it to him, did you?"

"Of course not." Taozi said: "Didn't you say at the beginning that the recipe for the bottom of the pot can only be known to you and me, not even Xiaoli can tell it!"

Wang Gang said earnestly: "The bottom of the pot when you go back to the building is our specialty, and it must not be leaked out."

"I understand." Tao Zi nodded heavily.

Wang Gang asked again: "No matter who comes in the future, even if it is my mother, you cannot tell her the recipe or let her see the making process of the bottom of the pot."

Tao Zi also reacted at this time and asked: "You mean, the second brother came here specially to steal our formula."

Wang Gang said solemnly: "How can my second brother care about the recipe of the pot when he is fine? Besides, if he is really interested, he should ask me, not you."

Taozi said in surprise: "He is your brother, how could he harm you?"

Wang Gang sighed: "It's not like you don't know that among us brothers, except for my close relationship with the second sister, everyone else is pretty average.

It’s not surprising that my second brother stole my formula for profit. "

Tao Zi felt a chill in his heart and was speechless for a long time.

"I will take care of my second brother's side. Just leave it alone and concentrate on keeping the formula." Wang Gang warned Taozi.

Wang Gang stayed in the store for a while, and then went to visit his master, Mr. Guan.

Since the little lazy cat Guan Xiaoguan came back, Mr. Guan's health has improved a lot and his face has become much rosier.

However, there is one more person in the family, and there are more housework. However, Guan Xiaoguan cannot take care of himself, let alone his grandfather.When Wang first arrived at Guan's house, he found that the house was a little messy and the kitchen dishes and chopsticks were not washed.

"Master, you are really messy. Do you want me to hire a nanny to take care of you?" Wang Gang brought some wine to Mr. Guan.

"I'm not old enough to need anyone to take care of me yet." Mr. Guan snorted coldly and accepted the wine, but did not give Wang Zangzhang a look.

"You haven't been here for a long time recently."

Wang Gang smiled and said: "I have been busy with Yang Xue's affairs recently. I will wait a while before returning to the Lou branch to get on track. I have to go to the south."

Mr. Guan said: "Let Yang Xue come to my house when I have time later. The little lazy cat misses her a little."

Wang Gang was surprised and said: "Xiaoguan is still staying at home and hasn't gone out to find anything to do?"

Mr. Guan shook his head and said: "I don't know what she has been busy with recently. These days, she goes out early in the morning and comes back at night."

Wang Gang joked: "She doesn't know how to date! Maybe I can bring you a grandson-in-law back tonight."

Mr. Guan said dissatisfiedly: "The little lazy cat is only a few years old. It's too early to get married now. I want to keep her for a few more years."

Wang Gang sat down next to Mr. Guan and said: "If you don't stay in the university, be careful if you stay in the university, you will become an enemy."

Mr. Guan shook his head and said: "The little lazy cat is very well-behaved, so he wouldn't do that."

Wang Gang pouted, but he didn't think Guan Xiaoguan was a good baby. She had received Western education for a long time and liked freedom. Plus, at her rebellious age, she might only be good in the eyes of Mr. Guan.

In the evening, Wang Gang drank some wine with his master and tidied up the house. However, he did not touch Guan Xiaoguan's personal belongings and put them all away.

Guan Xiaoguan didn't come back until almost eight o'clock. Wang Gang found that she was still a little wandering when walking, as if she had been drunk.

"Grandpa, I brought you some food and drinks." Guan Xiaoguan said happily when he saw Mr. Guan.

"What time did this happen? I've already eaten." Mr. Guan complained: "You can't come back so late in the future."

Guan Xiaoguan stuck out his tongue and said cutely: "Grandpa, I met a friend on the street today and chatted a few more words, so I came back late. I won't do it again."

Mr. Guan asked doubtfully: "What kind of friend? Did we meet him in America?"

"I have a middle school classmate, and I didn't expect him to come to the capital." Guan Xiaoguan said excitedly: "He also gave himself a Chinese name, Cao Cao. Do you think it's funny or not!"

Mr. Guan asked strangely: "Does he like the Three Kingdoms? Why did he choose that name?"

"He likes our Chinese culture very much, so he came to the capital after graduation and left in two days," Guan Xiaoguan said.

Wang Gang found that Guan Xiaoguan's eyes lit up when he mentioned that classmate.

"Xiaoguan, is your classmate a foreigner?" Wang Gang asked.

"He's from New York, and he's going to study at New York University's film school in the future. He wants to be an actor." Guan Xiaoguan said enviously.

Wang Gang thought for a while, Guan Xiaoguan had nothing to do all day long and didn't work. He was a little bored staying at home alone facing Mr. Guan.

"Do you want to go to school?" Wang Gang asked Guan Xiaoguan.

"Where should I go to school?" Guan Xiaoguan asked.

"Go to the Film Academy." Wang Gang said: "You are idle anyway, why not try to take the Capital Film Academy exam. When you go to school, you can communicate more with your peers."

"This is a good idea, disciple." Mr. Guan was the first to agree: "Little lazy cat, you can't stay at home with me, an old man, all day long."

Guan Xiaoguan said coquettishly: "Grandpa, I just like to stay at home with you. We have been separated for many years, and I want to make up for it."

Mr. Guan was very happy to be coaxed by his granddaughter, but he still said: "You are still young, you can't go wrong by learning more."

Guan Xiaoguan rolled his eyes and said, "Grandpa, can I learn to appreciate antiques?"

Grandpa Guan was surprised and said, "Why are you learning that stuff?"

Guan Xiaoguan explained: "Grandpa, you are a master of appreciation, and I am your granddaughter. Isn't it a joke that I can't recognize the vases from the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty when I look back.

Moreover, I have lived abroad for a long time and am more interested in domestic traditional culture. "

Wang Gang frowned, feeling that it might not be that simple for Guan Xiaoguan to learn cultural relic appreciation.

He remembered that in the TV drama, Guan Xiaoguan and her parents had been coveting Mr. Guan's collection, and even after Mr. Guan "passed away", they fought with Han Chunming for antiques and did not hesitate to go to court.

At this time, Mr. Guan naturally couldn't see his granddaughter's thoughts. He just thought that she was interested in Chinese studies, and he was very happy in his heart.
