Chapter 35: February , the Dragon Raises its Head

Jiangliao, Jichun, 1980, February 2, the Dragon Raises its Head.

Today is an important day for Zhou Bingkun, his first restaurant, Jishantang, opened!

Although Zhou Bingkun did not publicize it everywhere, the news of the opening of Jishantang was still known to the neighbors in Guangzi Pian.

Good neighbors like Qiao Chunyan's parents all came to support the event.

Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei also sent flower baskets, and even Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng asked Hao Dongmei to deliver their wishes on their behalf.

Most of the people who came were neighbors of Guangzipian. After all, it was the first individual restaurant, so everyone was watching and some came to inquire about the news.

The chefs in the kitchen were a little flustered when they suddenly saw so many guests coming.

Zhou Bingkun had no choice but to go to the kitchen himself to calm the situation down for the chefs.

Seeing that the chefs gradually calmed down and became organized under Zhou Bingkun's comfort, Zhou Bingkun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Sun Ganchao hurriedly ran into the kitchen, and when he saw Zhou Bingkun, he said, "Bingkun, go out and take a look!
Someone suddenly sent four special flower baskets?"

"Special? What's so special?" Zhou Bingkun was a little confused.

"The units marked on the flower basket are actually the Jiangliao Provincial Party Committee, the Jiangliao Provincial Government, the Jichun Municipal Party Committee, and the Jichun Municipal Government!"

"Ah? Is this true?" Zhou Bingkun was surprised.

Zhou Bingkun hurried out to check the situation and saw a familiar face, "Secretary Huang, how come you're here?
Haha, this little shop is really flourishing! "

"Boss Zhou, on behalf of the leadership, I'm here to congratulate you on the opening of Jishantang!
The leader asked me to tell you something: let go and do it boldly! Secretary Xiao Huang looked at Zhou Bingkun in front of him and congratulated him with a smile.

“Thank you so much, leaders!

Leaders, please rest assured that I, Zhou Bingkun, will abide by the law and pay taxes on time!

"Boss Zhou, we've delivered the flower basket too! We'll be heading back to work first!"

"Secretary Huang, goodbye!"

The guests present, whether they were neighbors of Guang Zipian or those who came to Jishantang to inquire about the news, were all shocked when they saw the four heavy flower baskets at the door of Jishantang and the secretary Xiao Huang who had just left.

"Bingkun, congratulations!
He actually opened such a big restaurant!
You are the number one person in our Guangzi film industry! " Qiao Chunyan calmed down her shock when she saw her secretary Xiao Huang leaving, and came over with Cao Debao to congratulate Zhou Bingkun.

"Chunyan, Debao, thank you for coming today!
Come in and sit down first!
I'll come find you guys when I'm done!"

"Okay! Then Bingkun, you go ahead and get busy!" Qiao Chunyan responded with a smile, and then entered the "Jishantang" with Cao Debao, who had a complicated expression on his face.

“Chunyan, I didn’t expect Zhou Bingkun to make such a big deal!
I was even able to get the Jiangliao Provincial Party Committee and Government and the Jichun Municipal Party Committee and Government to come and congratulate me!"

"Yeah! I didn't expect Zhou Bingkun to do such a big thing!

I thought he was just letting Sun Ganchao do some swindling and then letting Sun Ganchao take the blame for him!"

"By the way! Chunyan, our mother and Zhou Bingkun's mother have always had a good relationship!
Why don't we let our mother do the work of Zhou Bingkun's mother?"

"Debao, what do you want to do?"

"Chunyan, what else can I do?
I just became the workshop director!

If I help the soy sauce factory contact Zhou Bingkun Restaurant to purchase soy sauce and seasonings, wouldn’t I have done a great job!
Besides, if the soy sauce factory has any banquets in the future and they are arranged at Jishantang, I can put it on the bill for my sake, Cao Debao!
This is all about face!"

"Okay! I'll tell mom when I get back!" Qiao Chunyan said with a smile and nodded.

"Bingkun, congratulations!

I didn’t expect you to open a restaurant!
It's incredible!
When I heard what my parents said, I was completely stunned!" Hao Dongmei looked at Zhou Bingkun in front of her, still unable to calm down the shock in her heart.

"Haha, sister-in-law! Thank you for your congratulations!"

"By the way! Bingkun, your brothers Bingyi and Zhou Rong were so busy with their school schedules that they didn't come back to congratulate you in person, so I was asked to represent you!" "Haha, the thought is enough! Sister-in-law, I have something to discuss with you. Can you come home tonight?"

"Okay!" Hao Dongmei agreed despite some doubts.

"Bingkun, I see you guys are very busy here! Do you want me to help you with something?"

"How about this! Sister-in-law, you can temporarily watch over the cashier at the bar. I'm worried that the cashier will see so many customers and make some mistakes!"

"Okay! I'll just help watch over the cashier, don't worry!" Hao Dongmei said with a smile and nodded.

When Zhou Bingkun heard his sister-in-law Hao Dongmei's suggestion, he couldn't help but think of the chaos in the kitchen. He had to stay in the kitchen and keep an eye on it today.

Sun Ganchao also needs to greet customers at the front, and now with Hao Dongmei watching over the cash register, Zhou Bingkun is indeed very relieved.

Jishantang was really busy today and it didn't close until nine o'clock in the evening.

Seeing that everyone was working so hard, Zhou Bingkun asked the kitchen to cook a big pot of noodles and let the employees eat before leaving get off work.

Looking at Zhou Bingkun in front of her and thinking of the sales volume she had just calculated, Hao Dongmei wanted to speak several times, but Zhou Bingkun stopped her with his eyes.

After all the employees left, Zhou Bingkun said to Sun Ganchao, "Guanchao, you go back first!
My sister-in-law and I will lock the store door later!
You’ve worked hard today too!”

"Brother Bingkun, it's not hard at all! Then I'll go back first!"

After seeing Sun Ganchao leave, Hao Dongmei could no longer contain her excitement, "Bingkun, guess how much Jishantang's turnover was today?"

"Uh? Two thousand?"

"No! 5018! Amazing! I've never seen so much money in my life!"

Seeing his sister-in-law Hao Dongmei's excited expression, Zhou Bingkun couldn't help but want to laugh, "Haha, this just means that my Jishantang is a success!"

"Bingkun, why didn't you let me speak just now?
Saying it in public can also boost everyone's morale!" Hao Dongmei said doubtfully, thinking about what happened just now.

"Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about?

I am an individual business owner, not a collective factory!

If you tell others about this kind of thing, you’ll get into trouble!”

"Hehe, it's indeed a bit too jealous!

I can hardly hold back my jealousy!"

"By the way, Bingkun, you just said you had something to talk to me about?"

"Yes! That's right. My brother-in-law Guangming seems to have a cornea problem, so I helped him contact a hospital in Hong Kong Island!
Since you are studying medicine, sister-in-law, can you accompany Guangming to Hong Kong Island to treat his eyes during the summer vacation?

It just so happens that you can also intern at Hong Kong Island Hospital for a period of time!
I'll cover all the travel expenses!"

"Sister-in-law, what do you think?"

"Huh? Will the hospital in Hong Kong Island agree to my internship?"

"No problem! Didn't I sell those two articles to the Oriental Daily News in Hong Kong?"

Then I met their editor-in-chief!

In their eyes, these are all trivial matters!" Zhou Bingkun explained with a smile.

"I want to discuss this with your brother Bingyi!" Hao Dongmei was really tempted.

"Of course, you can ask my brother if he's willing to go with me during the summer vacation to explore our window city!"

"You know, we've already started reform and opening up, so we definitely need to go out and see the world!"
