Vol 2 Chapter 162: You Long Hotel

Tongshi Town is under the jurisdiction of Jianzhou City. It is not far from the neighboring provinces. The landforms are dominated by hills and mountains. Especially to the north of Tongshi Town, there are large sparsely populated mountainous areas. This is also the main reason for Xiang Kun to choose this place. one of the reasons.
And from here back to the downtown area of ​​Citong City, a total of more than four hours' drive is within an acceptable range. If there is something at home, he can return to take care of it in time.
Parents are unlikely to visit him often because of work reasons. It takes nearly ten hours on the road to go back and forth. Basically, it is only possible to come over during holidays, reducing the chance of being "suddenly attacked."
Xiang Kun followed the address previously received on WeChat and used the mobile map to directly lead to a newly built commercial street in the town.
At this time, it is close to 12 noon, but the flow of people on the commercial street is very limited. Except for the two fast food restaurants beginning with M and K, there are very few customers in various restaurants around. Obviously this side has not been Residents recognized that there was no excitement.
He asked to help find the breeding grounds. It was a friend he had known since elementary school, named You Meng. When he was at the same table with him in elementary school, the two people spent the whole day studying how to play arcade games with one coin to clear customs, the King of Fighters 97 combo skills, how to make their own hooks to go fishing, where to watch Doraemon’s latest long story, and the shop at the entrance of the school. The trick to the lottery is a good partner because of interest...
Xiang Kun walked into a restaurant called "Youlong Restaurant". Like most restaurants on this street, although it was time for dinner, there was only one customer eating, which seemed quite deserted.
A waitress saw Xiang Kun and immediately greeted him, and asked timidly: "Sir, how many have dinner?"
"Is your boss here?" Xiang Kun asked.
After a while, You Meng, who was called out from the kitchen by the waiter, was a little surprised when he saw Xiang Kun, "Hello?"
Even the mother who doesn't recognize herself, Xiang Kun is naturally quite accustomed to the performance of his old friends. He smiled and said, "Fatty, it's me, Xiang Kun."
When You Meng elementary school was nicknamed "Fatty", but now he is not fat at all. Although there is a Meng in his name, he is a restaurant and his own chef, but he is tall, thin, and gentle. It's more like a teacher than a cook.
Hearing his nickname and familiar voice, coupled with the fact that Xiang Kun had used WeChat to contact him on the road before he came, You Meng quickly recognized who the bald man with glasses was in front of him.
"Let me go, you can't make programming anymore, are you going to move bricks? Entering the engineering world from the IT world...or the religious world? Having been so strong...and got a bald head, this change is too big, fat You ruthlessly abandoned the character design of the Zai Technology House."
As soon as You Meng recognized Xiang Kun, he instinctively began to complain.
"Isn't this just about coming back to be a farmer?" Xiang Kun said with a smile, and then nodded to a short-haired woman who heard the sound of the cash register not far away. He came back when You Meng got married a few years ago and participated. At the wedding, I knew that this was You Meng’s wife, and there was a long character in her name, so the restaurant they opened was called "You Long". He also joked on WeChat before. Since he uses his wife’s name, he should also It’s so good to be called "Menglong Hotel" by first name instead of last name!
"You haven't eaten yet? You go and sit down first, I'll get you some and eat together."
Xiang Kun pulled You Meng, who was about to turn back to the back kitchen, and smiled: "I'm hungry on the way. I've already eaten it. You can just get something to eat yourself."
"Okay, then I'll make a few side dishes." You Meng was not polite with him.
Because there was only one guest in the restaurant, the dishes had already been served, and there was nothing in the kitchen, so You Meng directly sat down with Xiang Kun at a table in the corner.
"Your business is a bit deserted?" Xiang Kun said bluntly.
You Meng sighed and shook his head: "It's not just deserted, it can't go on anymore, the business is not good, the rent is too expensive, and it will be put away next month."
Xiang Kun knew that after graduating from high school, You Meng did not go to college and helped in the small restaurant opened at home. After the commercial street was built, he went out to open a shop by himself with the support of his wife.
As far as cooking skills are concerned, Yu Meng is definitely not bad, otherwise he would not be as confident and invested as he was to open a shop by himself as a chef.
When he first entered the store, he had already subconsciously collected all kinds of information, from the smell of the two dishes that the only diners were eating, the diners’ body reactions when eating, the types and prices of the dishes on the menu in the store, and the hygiene in the store. The situation, there is already a basic judgment.
"Are you really planning to open a farm?" You Meng asked again: "Why don't you find a place next to Citong City? Or go to your hometown? What can I say there? The traffic and economic conditions are better. The market will be bigger."
"I just got bored with the big city, and came here quietly," Xiang Kun said.
You Meng nodded: "But the place I asked you for, today my wife heard someone say that it doesn’t seem to be what I said before. It’s as simple as turning it off without making money. It seems that the EIA procedures cannot be completed. It was forcibly shut down. If this is the case, it would be more troublesome for you to take down the place and want to continue to open the farm. It is a bottomless pit for supporting anti-pollution and pollution control facilities."
Since the site selection conditions that Xiang Kun proposed to him included "cheap", in his opinion, naturally there was not much money invested in it.
Xiang Kun was taken aback: "Is this?"
You Meng sighed, "You may have to go for a trip for nothing this time, so let's go back to Tongshi and see old friends."
"It's okay, let's take a look first, maybe there is a solution." Xiang Kun said not caring, anyway, if this matter is not in a hurry, and if the surrounding area of ​​Tongshi Town is not possible, then find a place again, which is his request. It's not high.
You nodded fiercely, got up and went to the cashier to find his wife and took the car key and left.
"Wait, this is just the meal, what if there are more guests?" Xiang Kun said.
"It's okay. My nephew is watching in the kitchen. He can cook most of the dishes on the menu. If he doesn't, just tell the customer that there is none. Anyway, the store will accept it." You Meng said indifferently.
Xiang Kun said, "Don't worry, let's go to your kitchen and have a look."
You Meng thought that Xiang Kun wanted to visit his shop, so he took him to the back kitchen according to his words, and said as he walked: "There are three boxes on the second floor, fucking, I wanted to be happy at the beginning. I think everyone The income has risen, and the new commercial street here has become taller again. We also have to take the high-end route. The profit is relatively high, and the decoration will cost a relatively large amount. Alas...My wife is in bad luck. Now, the dowry is all lost."
When he arrived in the kitchen, Xiang Kun saw You Meng's nephew, a young man in his early twenties. He was fat and looked a little shy. Under You Meng's introduction, he called "Brother Xiang".
"Let's go, the kitchen is nothing good. I will show you the private room upstairs. I spent a lot of time on decorating, and my art cells have been exhausted." You Meng said, planning to leave the kitchen.
Xiang Kun stopped him: "Do you have any rabbit meat?"
You Meng said: "Rabbit meat? No, why, do you want to eat rabbit meat? That stuff is not popular here, uh, I have a bit of bamboo rat meat, do you want to try it? Damn, there is one on the Internet these two years The group called Farmer Brothers specializes in bamboo rats. They are very popular. Now there are a lot of bamboo rats, but the price has actually risen, 75 per catty!"
The nephew behind him whispered: "Brother Huanong..."
Xiang Kun said: "Bamboo rat meat is fine, come on, let me marinate it first, and I'll show you something when I come back tonight."
You Meng said in surprise: "You can also cook?" He knew his friend's character, if he was not really good at it, he would not make this request in front of the chef who opened the restaurant.
"Be careful, don't you have other arrangements for this piece of bamboo rat meat?"
"No no, you can do whatever you want."
After Xiang Kun finished marinating the bamboo rat meat and let his nephew You put it in the refrigerator, the two left the restaurant and took You Meng's minivan to Chongyun Village, more than 20 kilometers away from the town.
Jianzhou City is worthy of the saying that there are eight mountains, one river and one field. There are mountains everywhere, and the roads are naturally winding and rugged.
In the last seven or eight kilometers, all roads were unpaved, which was quite difficult.
Fortunately, You Meng is an old driver, and he often walks along this road. He knows which pits he should avoid. But even so, the chassis of his little loaf was often scratched, and the creaking sound made Kun's brows jump, but You Meng didn't care, indicating that this body has been battle-tested, and it is rotten. Born on the road, a trusted old man.
"At first you said that you would come back to open a farm. I thought you were just joking, but it was a real game. What do you think, with your ability, you shouldn't be able to stay in a big city?" You Meng drove the car and asked curiously.
"It's too tired in a big city, so I want to live in the mountains and relax. Look at my head, my brain is exhausted, and I'm bald." Xiang Kun said ruthlessly.
"Then you shouldn't open a farm, it won't be easy." You Meng shook his head and said.
"Don't talk about me for now, let's talk about you~EbookFREE.me~Your restaurant, I don't think it may not have been done." Xiang Kun changed the subject.
"What can you do? You should have seen it when you came. The whole commercial street is half dead, or the developer didn't plan it well at the beginning, and it was not strong enough. It's not our shop or a few people can change or something."
"In fact, the taste of your food is definitely not a problem. The main thing is to promote it. Now that the traffic is so developed, if your store is popular, the traffic in this street is not big, it doesn't really matter."
"Why there is no publicity? At the first opening, I rented a billboard outside the high-speed exit for ten days to put advertisements. I also asked friends to get a 20% discount event in Moments, and posted on local forums... …Oh, it’s useless. Now the most sold is the orders on the takeaway platform, but the profit is too low. The rent in my shop is too high and I can’t afford to eat. So I think about it and wait until the shop accepts it. Delivery." You Meng is also bitter.
Xiang Kun shook his head: "This is not what the propaganda of this year did."
