Chapter 333 True Talents and Real Learning (For Subscription)

  On the last weekend before the dawn of the new millennium, Lu's Catering officially opened its doors in three stores of RT-Mart in Lixia District, nearly a week ahead of RT-Mart.

  Because RT-Mart has not yet opened, except that the opening ceremony on Saturday attracted a lot of people, the passenger flow of the three stores is far less than that of Quannan Road.

Although there are several large communities, junior high schools, colleges and universities, as well as many enterprises and institutions in the surrounding area, Quannan Road Pedestrian Street has long been a very mature business circle. The three catering companies can't do it yet, and they will have to wait until RT-Mart opens.

   Fortunately, RT-Mart will officially open for business on the first day of the new millennium.

  The KFC next door to Hamburg Bo is also undergoing final renovations and is not expected to open more than January.

  The more popular shops, the more people will be attracted to this area.

   On the second day of the opening, Lv Dong called Ma Ming and wanted to ask him how he was doing. Ma Ming just came back from out of town, and the two simply made an appointment to meet at the newly opened hot pot restaurant.

   Near noon, the two sat at a table in the hot pot restaurant.

  Ma Ming was different from last time. He took a taxi from school and wore a down jacket that was convenient for outdoor work.

   "Just order whatever you want." The last time we met, Lu Dong could see that this was not the kind of dude as rumored. In this era, Taidong was able to get into the provincial university with his grades. He handed the menu to Ma Ming: "We hit it off, don't be polite to me."

   Ma Ming took the menu and looked around: "Lu Dong, your business is quite big, but there are fewer people in the store."

There were about ten tables in the store at noon today. Compared with the 300-square-meter business area, it was somewhat deserted. Lu Dong felt that it was normal: "It just opened yesterday, and this was not a business district before. more."

   "I'll be a local tyrant."

   The last time we talked was very pleasant, but Ma Ming was not polite to Lu Dong. He picked up a pen and sketched on the menu: "You know the situation at my home, and I dare not go casually when others invite me. This is you."

   Ordering a good dish, Lu Dong asked, "Do you want to drink?"

   Ma Ming waved his hand directly: "I'm going to see a professor at three o'clock, so I won't drink anymore."

   Lu Dong chose a few more items on the menu, and he didn't ask for wine, so he beckoned the waiter and gave the menu.

   Ma Ming glanced at the waiter's outfit and said, "The work clothes in your store are quite rare. Are you wearing a mask to prevent saliva from flying out?"

  Lu Dong nodded: "It's very important to make people feel at ease when it comes to catering."

   Hearing this, Ma Ming looked at the kitchen opposite, behind the transparent glass curtain wall, the various operations in the kitchen were at a glance: "The Shark's Fin Palace that my uncle participated in investment, dare not do this."

Lu Dong laughed: "The grade of that restaurant doesn't need to be considered at all, and people who go to eat won't worry about it. My grade is much lower, and it is for ordinary consumers, and food hygiene and safety is something ordinary people need to worry about. question."

   Ma Ming frowned slightly: "Lu Dong, what you said sounds awkward, but it makes sense when you think about it carefully."

   The waiter brought a tray with warm towels to wipe his hands. Ma Ming was not surprised by these. After all, many high-end hotels also have such services, but there are no such services in similar public hotels. Anyway, he has never seen them.

  Although Ma Ming is obsessed with archaeology, he has experienced many occasions with his parents and said: "The service alone in the store will probably attract many customers."

   Lu Dong said: "It's easy for a while, but it's hard to persist for a long time."

  Ma Ming nodded: "The customer is God. This is a nice saying. There are not many businesses that really do it, and it is God who is the one who cheats."

   Hot pot and various meat dishes were served, and the two chatted while eating.

   "Your soup base and dipping sauces taste very good." Ma Ming chewed slowly: "The hot pot I've ever tasted has the best taste."

   Lu Dong said: "This is produced by the factory in the village."

   Ma Ming thought of the big bucket of boiled water that his father brought back last year for the Chinese New Year, and said, "What's your specialty?"

   "That's right." Lu Dong said roughly: "This is what my mother re-adjusted and processed based on the craftsmanship that the village has been using."

   Ma Ming took a bite of mutton: "It's good, I'll find someone to help you promote it at school later, but your store is a bit far from the province."

  Lu Dong smiled: "There are also plans to open a store at the provincial university. Isn't Uncle Yu building a Garden Plaza store for Ginza on the west side of the old campus? I made an agreement with Ginza that the new store will be opened in a commercial building."

   Ma Ming asked: "Is there any other store?"

   Lu Dong said roughly: "North Garden, Bayi, Yanshan, West Market, the plan for next year is to cover the whole of Quannan as much as possible."

   "It's very fast." Ma Ming doesn't know much about business: "No wonder my dad and my uncle keep saying that you are very capable."

   Lu Dong told the truth: "Without Uncle Yu and Uncle Ma, I wouldn't dare to walk so fast."

  The two were talking, and the topic came to consideration and history again.

   Ma Ming asked, "Are there any folk buildings with a particularly long history there?"

   "Do you have a new topic?" Lu Dong asked curiously, "Didn't you study that Zhang Sanduo before?"

  Ma Ming said directly: "The professor I'm going to see this afternoon, the expert who studies folklore and ancient architecture, is famous all over the country. He is listed in the provincial museum and enjoys the allowance of the State Council. I want to take his postgraduate examination."

   Lu Dong is a grateful and informed person. Although Uncle Ma has never taken any action directly, his platform is very clear, not to mention Uncle Yu.

   With Lu's Catering and his current strength, he can't help them, but Ma Ming can help him if he can.

   Besides, an expert in folklore and ancient architecture, if you are interested in Lujia Village...

Lu Dong thought for a while, and said, "I don't know much about other things. There is a columbarium in my village. It's too long ago to say. It existed before the Republic of China. Something like that, it seems to have collapsed once, with some major repairs in between."

   Ma Ming thought about it: "Maybe I didn't have time a few years ago. After the New Year, I'll go take a look."

   Lu Dong touched the glass with him: "Call me anytime you are free."

   After drinking some drinks, Lu Dong asked again, "Have Zhang Sanduo's project been completed?"

"It's basically completed." Ma Ming said simply: "That subject is not difficult, and some local materials in Quannan can find some evidence. I also checked a lot of books in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and many of the prototypes of limericks actually come from the above. adaptation."

He gave an example: "Take the limericks of begging for rain as an example. The Quannan Library has a "Times" in 1925. At that time, the short message "Zhang Zongchang Begging for Rain" sent from Quannan said that Shandong suffered a drought for half a year, and the official gentry organized At the rain prayer meeting, when Zhang Zongchang took office, Zhang also visited the shrine together. Who knows that the drought will be the same in two days. Zhang Zongchang declared that if there is no rain when the deadline expires, the sky will be bombarded with artillery."

   "So, the people of Quannan, who had been subjected to Zhang Zongchang's tyranny at the time, wrote this limerick on behalf of Zhang Zongchang. The limericks that are widely circulated are all forcibly arranged on Zhang Zongchang's head by many literati after the founding of the People's Republic of China."

Since it was studied as a subject, Ma Ming took the most rigorous attitude: "Zhang Zongchang's daughter Zhang Chunsui is still alive, and she just retired from a state-owned enterprise a few years ago. I asked someone to help her contact her and did something to her To verify, Zhang Chunsui made it clear that Zhang Zongchang did not write these poems, and even the birthday poems issued in the name of Zhang Zongchang were all from his deployment master."

   Lu Dong thought that when Ma Ming was doing this kind of project, the most he could do was to check the information and find some supporting evidence.

   It seems that Ma Ming really likes this line of work.

   It seems that archaeology is a very unpopular industry. If you don’t really like it, I’m afraid it will be difficult to stick to it.

After dinner, Lu Dong drove Ma Ming back to school, and then went to see the commercial building under construction by Qiansheng Real Estate in the west of the province. The construction here is later than Bayi and Beiyuan, and the progress will be slower, but in the first half of next year Completion is not a problem.

   Afterwards, he drove westward along the east-west road in front of the provincial master’s correction gate, came to Quannan Railway Station, bought a station ticket, entered the station and walked around.

   Burger King is a fast food that is easy to take and easy to carry, which is very suitable for driving at the train station.

   Lu Dong asked someone to ask, and went to the relevant investment promotion department to inquire. There are currently no suitable shops at Quannan Railway Station, such as those small shops with only a dozen square meters, which are not suitable for Burger King.

  When the kitchen is not enough.

   Lu Dong wrote down the phone number of the person in charge of the railway station, and left his contact information. If there is a suitable shop vacant, the investment promotion staff here will contact him.

  The big shops in the train station use auction rentals. The more people who participate, the higher the auction price.

Although the current status of   Tie boss has been impacted, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and there is no hard enough relationship, so he can only participate in the shooting.

  The relationship between locality and railway is intricate and not a system.

   After exiting the train station and entering the parking lot, Lu Dong vaguely felt that someone was staring at him from behind. He put his hand in his pocket, turned around and saw a child wearing a small white hat.

This man was only twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a torn leather jacket. When he saw Lu Dong turning his head, he didn't have any intention of dodging. Canon" logo SLR cameras.

   "Hey, do you want it?" The white-hatted boy had obviously received professional training and knew how to distinguish people by their clothes. He extended a slap and said in a slightly blunt words: "This is a good item, only five hundred dollars!"

   To prove it, the boy pressed the shutter, the camera clicked, and then the flashing light was on.

   As if he was afraid that others would see it, the white-hatted boy quickly put the camera in his bag, and his voice was stiff: "New, five hundred yuan!"

   Lu Dong said directly: "No."

   He just glanced at it and walked towards the parking spot.

   The white-capped boy didn't give up, and said, "Only five hundred yuan!"

   Maybe other people will think that this is stolen goods, they can get cheap or cause trouble.

   But Lu Dong guessed that the camera was an empty toy.

  The train station was crowded with people, and the white hat boy didn't stare at one person, and quickly went to find someone else.

   Lu Dong opened the door and got in the car, then drove away.
