Zhang Ye had already been rubbing his hands and preparing to come here to draw a quota to drink. He wasn’t very good at drinking, but of course, the liquor at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was very delicious. Therefore, he was definitely willing to drink more.
He wasn’t here for the wine, but for Chu Mingxuan and master Bian. Other than having a wooden hobby, Zhang Ye also had a Special Hobby that was very much in line with the people of Sichuan-he liked to watch people change their faces.
His idol was Chu Mingxuan. Of course, the way he chased his idol was different from the way young people did when he was older. However, as long as he could get a ticket for Chu Mingxuan’s performance, he wouldn’t miss a single one. Therefore, when he heard that Chu Mingxuan was going to perform at master chef Restaurant, he was naturally very happy.
Zhang Ye was well prepared in the early stages of the show. He rehearsed Chu Mingxuan’s previous shows at home and then rested at home for a week. In order to build up his character and get a spot to drink with Chu Mingxuan, he set the time for Chu Mingxuan’s performance to be the next day.
Accumulating character points was a metaphysical thing. It mainly depended on one’s face. If one was lucky, one could accumulate it in one second, but some unlucky people needed to accumulate it for several years.
Zhang Ji had not told anyone about this, but when he saw the drum on the man’s waist, the first thing he thought of was the performance at the pub. After all, he had been paying attention to it.
“What you said makes sense, but I don’t know if it’s true.” Cheng zhaomei saw that the man had glanced at master chef restaurant’s signboard a few times before looking around and standing under the eaves of the building across the street. She felt that Zhang Yan might be right.
The person being observed by Zhang Yan and Cheng zhaomei was Sun Ji. He had just rushed over from Star City to answer Yuan Zhou’s invitation to meet and interview here.
To a certain extent, Zhang Ji’s guess was right. Sun Ji did come for the performance in the pub.
As the authentic inheritor of the Fengyang Flower Drum and Flower Drum opera, Sun Ji was quite famous in this Flower Drum circle. When he performed, it was almost always full of friends. Normally, he would not come to the small pub to perform.
He really didn’t lack a stage to perform on, nor was he a food lover. It was good to have good food, but he wouldn’t force it if he didn ‘t.
Sun Ji was a little Buddhist. The only thing he loved was the flower Drum play and the Fengyang Flower Drum.
But it was such a coincidence that Sun Ji and Si Jinning had a very good personal relationship. They were good friends despite their age. And Si Jinning had not left after coming to Rong city. He said that he wanted to stay here to accompany his little disciple as she grew up and teach her while he was at it.
......
As for having at least one meal a day at master chef Restaurant, the reason was even simpler. Since the hotel was close, eating would naturally be the principle of “close by”, which sounded very reasonable.
Si Jinning was a warm-hearted person. When he heard his little disciple Zuozuo say that Yuan Zhou wanted to find some folk arts artists to perform in the pub to enrich everyone’s life after meals, he immediately thought of himself.
After all, the salary was quite high. That disciple of Buttface was paid three meals a month. As a master, the number of famous big shots in the book-evaluating world would at least double. Then, he thought about how his little disciple Zuozuo was doing a book-judging job, while his doggy disciple was doing a crosstalk. Only by not repeating the same work could they appear together. Although he was doing a good job, it was still a book-judging job. It would definitely not be good for the show’s expansion and might also cause pressure on Zuozuo.
After thinking about it again and again, he gave up on this alluring idea. Anyway, he had money. It was a good idea to buy a house here to support his old age. He would just come to the small shop to eat every day. He would not compete with his little disciple. Of course, if it was a dog disciple, it would be a different story.
If Gao Hui knew about his current image in master’s eyes, would it be too late for him to cry?
After giving up on the opportunity to recommend himself, si Jinning instantly recalled that he had a good friend who sang the flower Drum. Not only was she good at the flower Drum opera, but she was also good at the Phoenix Sun flower Drum as well. She came from a family with a long history of learning and had a deep foundation, so she could perform here.
In accordance with the principle of sharing good things with everyone, si Jinning told Sun Ji about this matter very hospitably. Of course, he had also informed Yuan Zhou about this matter in advance. He definitely had to get the opinion of the host.
After hearing si Jinning’s explanation, Yuan Zhou personally called Master Sun Ji and told him about this matter. When he heard that Yuan Zhou intended to publicize the various arts, he decided to come here.
For the Buddhist Sun Ji, there was nothing more worth it than to promote the declining Flower Drum.
Therefore, it was fine to say that Sun Ji was invited by Yuan Zhou or si Jinning.
Si Jinning had to meet an old friend at noon today, so he couldn’t come.
However, he had already inquired clearly that many banquets in the small shop needed a legitimate reason to be reserved. After getting the exact date of Sun Ji’s arrival, he booked a table of boat banquet in the shop. This was something he had wanted to eat for a long time. He took advantage of this time to successfully reserve this banquet in the name of welcoming Sun Ji.
It was going to be held that night, so si Jinning went out to visit his friends and waited for the dinner to be ready. When he thought about the delicious banquet, he no longer felt so resentful about the high salary Sun Ji might get from the restaurant. If Sun Ji hadn’t come, si Jinning would have had to wait until Sun Ji or his disciples ‘birthdays to be able to eat.
Speaking of which, it was unknown if si Jinning had recommended Sun Ji to come over because he wanted to eat at the banquet. Perhaps only he himself knew.
Sun Ji was a serious person. Since he promised to come here to perform, as a master, he had his own ideas. He wanted to come to the store to observe first, but when he walked to the door of the store, he found that no one inside thought about the information he had found before, so he went under the opposite eaves.
His plan was to have a meal first, then suggest to the boss to look at the venue and interview some people at the same time. He would be able to have a good gathering with his old friends that night.
Sun Ji had always done things by the book. Before he came here, he had already checked up on Yuan Zhou’s information and knew that Yuan Zhou had an extraordinary position in the cooking circle. Although he had not met Yuan Zhou in person, he had given Yuan Zhou a great respect and was very willing to do things according to the rules of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant because of his intention to promote his folk art.
As time passed by, the line officially started at 11 O’ clock. The people waiting under the eaves near the store seemed to have practiced the wave-like subtle steps and quickly arrived at the line.
Due to his unfamiliarity with the business, Sun Ji was squeezed out of the first team and came to the second team. However, he was very quiet and didn’t fight. He was in the middle of the line.
As for Cheng zhaomei and Zhang Yan, they were naturally very familiar with each other. When they saw the figure of the Black Beast, they immediately understood that it was time to line up. Therefore, they were very alert and naturally queued behind Wu Hai and the others. They were indeed experienced people. Their actions were Swift.
“It’s time for lunch. The first 18 customers, please come in for your meal. ” Su Ruoyan stood at the side of the store’s entrance and smiled.
As she spoke, the lunch time officially began.
The customers entered one after another, and the people in the first line all walked into the restaurant with smiles and expectations. Sun Ji felt a little curious when he saw this scene.
“How delicious must it be to make the customers look forward to it so much?” Sun Ji expressed that as a person who lived a normal life, he couldn’t imagine what kind of delicious food could make people have such high expectations.
