The brand new black Audi car heads west along Jingqi Road and turns left and south to Shier Road. Through the filmed window, you can see an antique building. There are three large white characters on the gray foyer roof - Taifeng Garden!

There is no parking lot in front of the hotel, but only the first parking space is marked on the sidewalk.

It was almost noon and most parking spaces were empty. Lu Dong turned around and parked his car next to a Santana 2000.

Song Na, who was in the co-pilot, got off the car first, picked up the sun hat and put it on her head.

Over the past few years, Song Na has developed a habit of wearing a hat every day.

Lu Dong got out of the car and locked the door, and greeted, "Let's go in and try the old brands."

Song Na smiled: "We are here to eat well?"

Lu Dong responded casually, pulled her up and entered the hotel. In the huge lobby, there were only three or four tables of guests eating quietly. On the contrary, the middle-aged female ***ers behind the front desk were chattering, and their voices seemed a little loud.

No one came to say welcome or something, nor did anyone come to lead the seat.

Several waiters looked at Lu Dong and Song Na and continued to chat and talk.

The two of them knew the situation before they came, and they didn't mind, so they just found a place to sit down.

Lu Dong glanced at the hall, and it seemed that a man with his back facing him on the table in front was somewhat familiar, but he didn't see the front and couldn't remember who was coming.

Song Na greeted: "Waiter!"

Behind the counter, there was a middle-aged aunt coming over with an easter egg in one hand and a teapot in the other.

The menu teapot was placed on the table with a smile on his face: "Order the food."

After all, 2000 years have passed. Although the system of public hotels is still rigid and people with staff are still holding them, the pace of marketization is entering thousands of households, which is much better than five or six years ago.

When Lu Dong came here, he wanted to try braised chicken in person. Naturally, he wanted to order this dish. As for other signature dishes in Shandong cuisine, he was not very interested.

I have eaten Yang's braised chicken many times, and the taste is quite impressive and it is impossible to use it to others.

After all, there are huge differences in tastes between people.

For example, Lu Dong, as an authentic Taidong person, cannot enjoy the very representative nine-turn large intestine and fried waist flowers in Taidong cuisine.

Especially the latter, the cook makes it well and can still eat a bite. If it is not well treated, the taste will taste...

Lu Dong ordered a braised chicken, Song Na ordered a stir-fried pilaf and a hot and sour soup.

They had to drive, but they didn't ask for alcohol.

Soon, three dishes came one after another.

Before Song Na took her chopsticks, she rinsed her mouth with tea, then picked up a chopstick chicken breast and tasted it in small mouthfuls.

The chicken is tender and delicious. Maybe it uses a variety of mixed spices for the seasonings, and dried mushrooms are used in the side dish. The unique aroma is very strong.

It has its own characteristics and should meet the tastes of many Taidong people and even northern people.

Lu Dong swallowed the flesh in his mouth, and the long-lasting memories seemed to be awakened, as if it was the smell.

But the exquisitely cooked braised chicken in front of me tastes much better than what I have ever eaten.

It’s not difficult to understand after thinking about it again.

This is a finely cooked restaurant kitchen, which may be a bit better than the assembly line.

There is also a difference in ingredients. The main course may be roosters, but unlike the meat that was once obviously mixed with meat or even meat chicken, the ingredients are hard to say, but the aroma of dried mushrooms is more intense than that of fresh mushrooms.

Relatively fresh ingredients are better than those processed with spice bags and frozen semi-finished products.

Lu Dong asked, "How is it?"

"It's okay." Song Na's comment was quite pertinent: "The stewed chicken tastes pretty good."

Lu Dong said directly: "I came for this dish, braised chicken with white rice, and I won't change it to a god."

Song Na couldn't help laughing: "Is it so delicious?"

"It's not that delicious." Lu Dong said another meaning: "Do you remember the pork ribs and rice restaurant I pointed out to you when I came? Those stores are all single dishes, and several of them have started chains in Quannan."

Song Na knew Lu Dong, and after hearing what he said, she understood: "Your idea of ​​making braised chicken is to make a single dish of braised chicken with rice? Just like a pork ribs restaurant?"

Now it's just a plan, and Lu Dong can't say in detail: "It's roughly the same."

In the middle, Lu Dong went to the toilet. The toilet in the building was broken. He had to go to the toilet through the back door of the restaurant, pass through the large yard behind, and go to the old-fashioned squat toilet.

After Lu Dong walked this trip, he found that Taifeng Garden was really big. He was afraid that there would be four or five acres of land, including a warehouse, a restaurant and a yard.

What happened here later? Lu Dong thought about it carefully and only remembered that the residential communities on Twelve Road were large and the ones next to the road seemed to have become high-rise residential buildings.

This time I came here to determine whether the taste of this braised chicken is the same as the braised chicken, and by the way, I met Yang Feng, the descendant of Fuquanju.

It was confirmed that braised chicken was correct. When Lu Dong walked back, he called Xue Tian directly.

After calling, Lu Dong didn't need to avoid Song Na and simply explained to Xue Tian.

After Lu Dong hung up the phone, Song Na asked in a low voice: "How is your understanding?"

"Xue Tian heard a lot of relevant news, and Ma Ming asked someone to help provide some." Lu Dong turned his head left and right, looked at the hall of Taifeng Garden, and asked: "Heidan, do you think we can buy this time-honored brand and use modern management to run the time-honored brand. Is there any future?"

Song Na poured two glasses of water and gave Lu Dong a cup: "I don't know much."

Lu Dong said simply: "Although Taifeng Garden has rapidly declined in the mid-1990s, it has been one of the most famous time-honored brands of Shandong cuisine in the past few decades. I dare not say anything else, but it is famous in several cities around Quannan."

Song Na did not blindly follow her, and said if she had any doubts: "Although fast food has something in common with restaurants, we have never done it."

Lu Dong smiled: "I think I'm going to buy it, not for the restaurant, but for the Taifeng Garden sign."

Song Na thought of what Lu Dong said before and asked: "Taifengyuan braised chicken?"

Lu Dong said, "This sign is quite loud." He thought for a while: "I just went to the back and saw that this place is not very big. Even if I buy it, I will not do anything else. With the development of the real estate market, I will make sure to make a profit when I am demolished in the future."

More than once I heard Lu Dong talk about the real estate market, Song Na had a clearer concept and said, "What a pity to wait for demolition for such a big restaurant."

Lu Dong wiped the water on his hands with a napkin: "I just said that it would be best to just poach people. If it really doesn't work, even Taifeng Garden will take them down. This is a subordinate unit of the Grain Bureau. I have asked someone for inquiries, and it only costs millions."

Song Na nodded slightly. For today's Lu's Catering, as long as the controlling party wants to sell such a restaurant, it is basically no problem to buy it.

She reminded Lu Dong: "It involves staffing and staffing, and there are also many troubles."

Lu Dong was open-minded: "Black egg, will it be more difficult than when we started a business?"

Hearing this, Song Na remembered that cold winter and unconsciously looked at her hands. It was early winter. At this time in 1998, her hands were frozen like a radish head. Now she has been raised, with fine skin and tender flesh, and she doesn’t look like she has done a rough job?

"Yes." Song Na held the hand that Lu Dong placed on the table and looked at the dishes on the table: "Are you full?"

Lu Dong said, "Okay."

Song Na pulled him up: "Let's go."

Knowing that Lu Dongba hadn't brought his wallet, Song Na walked in front and went to the front desk to check out.

After calculating the money and leaving the house, Song Na asked, "Don't you contact that chef?"

Lu Dong shook his head: "I'm here to try the dishes."

He can only do it himself when he determines the taste of braised chicken: "I'll leave this to Xue Tian and Lao Xu. There are so many people in the company, and you have to do it when it's time to do it."

Someone suddenly came out at the door, and a man seemed to be chasing two people.

"Brother Lu!" The man greeted him very well as soon as he left the house: "Xiao Song!"

The visitor was a middle-aged man wearing brown glasses and a big 300-seven-six-divided head. The dark suit jacket was open and exposed the white shirt inside. The shirt was pierced into his waist. The silver letters were called the sun and shining.

Both Lu Dong and Song Na recognize this person. They bought goods from him when they set up street stalls.

It was also an old relationship. Lu Dong turned around and shook hands with the visitor: "Brother Tang, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet here."

When Tang Wei, who was selling small commodities in the Western Market, shook hands, he deliberately stretched his arms, and his sleeves shrank to his wrists, revealing a golden watch.

Back then, the business was fair, and Song Na also took the initiative to say hello: "Brother Tang, it's been a long time since you've been fatter. You've gained a lot, the boss's temperament!"

"Okay, okay, okay." Tang Wei laughed, and said the words still the same: "I have been living a good life. Look, my stomach is getting up. There is no way. I have changed my house and my car, and my business is going smoothly. I am broad-minded and my body is fat."

Lu Dong smiled and said, "Congratulations to Brother Tang."

The bag that Tang Wei was holding was in his hand, and the side with the letter sign was facing Lu Dong and Song Na. He suddenly felt heartbroken: "It's a pity for you two. If you have been working with me, I dare not say anything else, and there will definitely be a car and a house!"

Lu Dong and Song Na had had a long deal with Tang Wei a few years ago. They knew this person roughly, so they just said it.

"Where are you going? I'll take you off?" Tang Wei took the lead down the steps in front of the hotel door, walked towards the Santana 2000 parked on the curb, looked at the brand new A6 next to him, and greeted the two people behind: "You two are here, I'll take you for a ride."

Lu Dong pulled Song Na down the steps and said, "Brother Tang, no need. You go to the west and we will go back to the east, it will be a good way."

Song Na quietly grabbed Lu Dong and prevented him from walking forward: "We have to wait for a friend."

Lu Dong understood Song Na's thoughts and stopped. Tang Wei was so proud of his face and showing off. Although he might rarely deal with him again in the future, there was no place for people to be sorry for them at the beginning, so there was no need to embarrass people in front of him.

Tang Wei waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll leave first." He took out a brand new mobile phone, which was the most expensive model in Motorola. He swayed at the two of them: "I haven't changed my phone number, so call me if you have anything to do."
