Back to 2001

As night falls, a street in the night market in Shancheng County is brightly lit and extremely lively.

Zheng Qiang and his party followed behind Chen Jianghe and the others.

Looking at the lively night scene of this small remote county in front of him, he felt a little dazed for a while.

The dazzling array of delicacies and snacks made everyone salivate after a day of hunger and only ate a few bites of biscuits.

At this time, a strong and thick butter hot pot smell floated from the front.

Even if it is mixed with the aroma of many delicacies, it is still very recognizable.

Lameizi hot pot restaurant.

Chen Jianghe stepped forward and opened the store door.

Immediately, a more intense smell rushed over, and the store was even more lively and crowded with people.

"Brother Chen, you're here!"

A fair-skinned woman in her early 30s greeted her with a smile: "The private room has been reserved for you!"

Chen Jianghe smiled lightly, and followed the other party to the box with the signboard of "Jiefangbei".

This hot pot restaurant doesn't look very big from the outside, but inside it is different.

The whole building has six floors in total.

Except for the first floor where you just came in, there is a lobby of nearly 200 square meters with twenty or thirty tables.

From the second floor, all large and small rooms have been transformed into boxes.

Chen Jianghe and others came to the largest box on the second floor, which used to be a conference room that could accommodate dozens of people.

Therefore, after a group of more than a dozen people walked into this box, not only did they not feel crowded and cramped.

It even feels like a touch of luxury.

"Xiao Xu, call Jesse and ask him to come over."

Chen Jianghe gave Xu Zhixi instructions with a smile.

At this time, a waitress in her early 20s came in, took out a menu and handed it to Chen Jianghe respectfully: "Boss...Brother Chen, please order."

Chen Jianghe sighed softly, looking a little helpless.

He just wanted to experience the ingredients and service level of his hot pot restaurant as a customer.

I didn't expect that even the young waiter who had just joined the job knew my identity.

"Jiang He, are you the one who runs this hot pot restaurant?"

Logan asked in surprise.

Chen Jianghe nodded with a smile: "I'm just a partner, responsible for funding and providing venues, and Sister Yan will take care of other things in the store."

The fair-skinned woman immediately smiled and waved her hands: "Brother Chen, you are too polite. I am a store manager at best. You rewarded me with 1% of the shares. How can I be regarded as a partner!"

You must know that the scale of this hot pot restaurant is one of the best even in Chongqing and Chengdu.

The daily turnover easily exceeded 10 yuan, and the net profit after excluding all costs was more than 5 yuan.

Therefore, even if Sister Yan only has 1% of the shares, the daily dividend income is more than 500 yuan.

One day's income is equivalent to one month's wages of a migrant worker!

Sister Yan has taken care of the store as her own business, and will not tolerate any sloppy and slack.

Tang Wan suddenly thought of something, looked at Chen Jianghe and asked curiously: "The guest house we stayed in last night, you also opened it?"

Chen Jianghe nodded with a smile: "I am also a partner, providing venue and funds."

Logan immediately understood why her man was able to book a guest house room that no one else could book.

And roses and red wine are also prepared in the room.

The emotional partner is the owner of the guest house!

For the boss Chen Jianghe, what is impossible for others is as simple as breathing?

"Jianghe... besides guest houses and hot pot restaurants, you don't have other restaurants, do you?"

Logan subconsciously asked one more question.

"As long as it is a slightly larger store, I am a partner. There are about twenty or thirty stores."

Chen Jianghe admitted frankly: "These stores are rebuilt from government office buildings, and the operation requires a lot of funds."

At the beginning, the Shancheng County Government also tried to split an office building into several parts for lease.

However, the overall internal framework of the government office building itself is not suitable for opening a store.

The result of leasing to the outside world is that almost all the bosses want to seize the "golden berth" in the lobby on the first floor.

The bunks above the second floor are completely in a state of "no one cares about".

In addition, the small bosses from all over the world are in terms of financial strength and personal quality.

They are all in an uneven state.

If a whole government office building is rented out to dozens or even hundreds of small bosses.

Not only is it extremely difficult to manage, but it will inevitably cause immeasurable damage to the government office building.

Although it is said that Shancheng County's use of government office buildings for private investment promotion has been approved by the higher authorities.

However, these office buildings are all state-owned assets, once they cause irreparable damage.

No one can afford to be labeled as destroying state-owned assets again!

Based on the above considerations, Zhou Zhiguo, as the administrative leader of Shancheng County, visited Chen Jianghe in person.

The two made a decision after deliberation, and Chen Jianghe personally funded the contracting of all 27 government office buildings.

Some of these office buildings have been transformed into large food cities, some have been transformed into comprehensive shopping malls, and some have been transformed into hotels and guest houses.

Because Chen Jianghe was in charge of supervising the renovation, the interior and exterior decoration of all government office buildings were done with great care, and no irreparable damage was done to the building.

This kind of result is also the most satisfactory result for both parties. It can be said that the entire Shancheng county government owes Chen Jianghe a huge "favor".

"Do you have any taboos?"

After Chen Jianghe asked intimately, he took out a ballpoint pen and began to circle the hot pot menu.

After a while, a dozen young waitresses opened the door and walked in one by one.

I saw that each waitress was holding a copper pot the size of a sea bowl, and carefully placed it on the table in front of everyone.

"Di!"

"Di!"

"Di!"

……

With a series of beeps, everyone present realized that there was a small induction cooker built into the dining table in front of everyone.

The inside of the sea bowl-sized copper pot is separated by an "s"-shaped baffle.

One side is a clear soup similar to hot-boiled lamb with only scallions, star anise, red dates, and wolfberries.

On the other side is a whole piece of red solidified butter.

This scene immediately confused everyone present.

Including the few people who have been to Chongqing and Chengdu to eat authentic Sichuan-Chongqing hot pot, this is the first time they have seen such a novel way of eating hot pot.

At this moment, a figure walked into the private room from the outside, and was stunned for a moment when he saw the room full of people.

Then, from the crowd, I immediately saw the person I like who is like a flower in bud.

There was a flash of light in the blue eyes.

"Xiaoxi, it's really great that you are here!"

The figure didn't care about the existence of other people present, and walked straight to Xu Zhixi with big strides: "I've been waiting for you since noon until now, and I haven't even eaten yet!"
