Chapter 2115: Changing the Hutong Name

"I'm used to it, I'm used to it." The Second Squire wiped the sweat from his forehead. "People rely on clothes, horses rely on saddles. In the south, if you don't dress formally and cleanly, no matter what you do, people won't even look at you straight."

"Makes sense!"

Doing business, naturally, requires packaging. Zhou Andong understands this point. There are few people who can be like him, even if he wears slippers and flower shorts to talk about business, the other party still has to give a thumbs up and praise that Boss Zhou is informal and truly dashing.

It's just that Zhou Andong looked at the Second Squire again. This is not the south, nor is it talking about business. The only explanation for you wearing this outfit is that you are showing off to the street neighbors, telling them I have made money, this is returning home in glory.

The Second Squire was pondering that since he met Zhou Andong, he didn't need Old Cricket to be the middleman, so he asked him whether he still bought courtyards.

"Brother Dong!"

The Second Squire just opened his mouth, but before the words could come out, a shout came from behind, blocking the words he wanted to say.

Zhou Andong turned his head and looked up to see Tang Lin. Zhang Zuo, that idiot, was walking behind, holding a bag, holding a big brother (mobile phone) in his hand, walking and shaking, twisting his hips, shaking his shoulders.

"Tearing down the wall?"

Zhou Andong said this, but his eyes were always looking at Zhang Zuo, grinding his teeth in anger, really wanting to go up and give him two kicks.

Seeing Zhou Andong's dark face, he knew what was going on and couldn't help but laugh.

"Right, open up the courtyard, and the sheds built privately must also be torn down. Rebuild the front courtyard wall and leave a big gate in the middle."

Zhou Andong threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it. "What do you plan to do?"

"Private kitchen restaurant!" Tang Lin said with a smile. "I originally wanted to open a hotel. Since it's right next to the Forbidden City, the business of opening a hotel in this location must be good. But there are too few rooms. Even if it's full every day, it won't make much money, so I thought about opening a private kitchen."

"Hmm!" Zhou Andong nodded. "This idea is very good, but to open a private kitchen, the environment is one aspect, and the most important thing must be the taste of the dishes."

"You can rest assured about this." Tang Lin was full of confidence. "The executive chef of the State Guest House, named Yan Shuangxi, the old man just retired, and he is a proper department-level leader. I went to see him two days ago, and he has already agreed to me.

With this old man sitting in town, he doesn't need to cook himself, as long as he brings a few of his apprentices and grand-apprentices, our private kitchen restaurant business will be stable."

"Boss Tang!" Old Cricket suddenly asked. "Is his father named Yan Zhengde?"

"It is called this name, right." Tang Lin was a bit uncertain. "I remember I seemed to have heard someone say that someone in his family used to be the grand manager of the Imperial Kitchen in the palace."

"That can't be wrong." Old Cricket recalled. "Yan family cuisine is not famous among the people, but at that time, high officials and nobles would invite Yan family members to cook for weddings and funerals, and even the Prince's Mansion was no exception."

"No wonder that old guy has such a big temper." Zhang Zuo said with a tsk-tsk sound. "So the background is also big."

Zhou Andong said, "The old man is so powerful, he shouldn't have nothing to do after retirement."

Tang Lin thought for a while. "The old man is quite low-key. Apart from his work at the State Guest House, he has only served as the chief judge of the National Cooking Competition for three sessions.

However, his eldest apprentice has quite a few titles, such as consultant of the Famous Chef Professional Committee of the Cooking Association, famous Chinese cooking master, national treasure-level cooking master, etc., a whole bunch."

Zhou Andong said with a smile, "I think these titles should be that old man's, but he is low-key, or finds it troublesome, so he let his eldest apprentice do some things that have to be done."

"Possible!" Tang Lin nodded. "After he retired, the eldest apprentice naturally became the executive chef."

"Don't talk about this." Zhou Andong looked at Zhang Zuo. "You walk and shake your head and tail, who did you learn it from? If Grandpa Zhang knew, believe it or not, he could break your leg."

"Zhou Dongzi!" Zhang Zuo snorted. "I tell you, don't meddle in other people's business."

Old Cricket and the Second Squire looked at Zhang Zuo at the same time, one very familiar with Zhang Zuo and one who didn't know him.

But the two had the same thought in their hearts: this kid actually dared to talk to Zhou Andong like this.

Zhou Andong's eyes narrowed slightly, and Zhang Zuo curled his lips disdainfully.

"What are you looking at, be careful I'll slap you." After this guy finished speaking, he turned and ran. "I'll go see how the work is going. If I don't watch it, some people will be lazy and grind foreign work."

"Don't run!"

Zhou Andong shouted, and then he saw Zhang Zuo's flying legs, which tightened and tightened, and then disappeared at the entrance of the hutong.

Tang Lin's mouth twitched. "Brother Dong, I also want to change the name of that hutong."

"Change the name?" Zhou Andong asked. "What name?"

Tang Lin's eyes became very bright. "Wenlin Hutong!"

Zhou Andong laughed heartily. "Change it, you and Nie Wen are getting married soon, it can be considered a witness for you two."

Tang Lin grinned. "Number two, Xiao Bei, and your cousin's engagement, you didn't come back, many people are very sorry."

"No way, Japan is a must-go, and it can't be delayed anymore." Zhou Andong was also very helpless. "And this is just an engagement. If it's a wedding, no matter what important things happen, they must be pushed."

Zhou Andong asked Old Cricket, "Why does this road have no name?"

"Since I can remember, this road has had no name." Old Cricket raised his head slightly and looked forward. "Whoever asks, they all say the name of the hutong."

Zhou Andong said to Tang Lin, "Since you are going to open a private kitchen restaurant here, give this road a name, which is convenient for tourists from other places to find."

Tang Lin nodded. "What's it called?"

"Right next to the Forbidden City, let's call it Chenggen Road." Zhou Andong casually said a name. "And the name of the hutong where the clubhouse is, change it to Si Yatou (Fourth Girl). You go to the place name office tomorrow to handle it together."

"Si Yatou?" Tang Lin was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately. "You plan to give the clubhouse to the fourth one in the future?"

"Talk about it later. If she wants it, give it to her; if she doesn't, forget it." Zhou Andong greeted Old Cricket. "Let's go!"

Watching the three people leave, the Second Squire also wanted to follow, but hesitated, and put his raised foot back.

Arriving at the gate, Old Cricket unloaded the things, and Yu Zhan and the others moved them into the courtyard.

Zhou Andong wanted to keep Old Cricket for dinner, but Old Cricket had something to do, so he went directly to the bank with Wang Wentian to withdraw money.

Tang Lin watched Zhou Andong ignore him and walked quickly toward the backyard. He stood at the gate in a daze, then muttered and walked away.

Jian Qiu was watching TV in the living room of the back building, eating a popsicle in her hand. Seeing Zhou Andong come in, a happy smile appeared on her face.

"I thought you would have to wait two more days to come back."

Zhou Andong walked over, sat beside Jian Qiu, took the half-eaten popsicle from her hand, and ate it in one bite.

"Xiao Bei's engagement went well, right."

"I have a big belly, and Mom and Dad didn't let me go back." Jian Qiu changed her posture and leaned on Zhou Andong. "But they came back yesterday and said it went very well, and everyone was very satisfied."

"That's good." Zhou Andong asked, "Have Xiao Bei and Xiao Yi come back?"

"Back." Jian Qiu put Zhou Andong's hand on her belly. "Xiao Bei and Xiao Yi are returning to Jiangzhou tomorrow."

"Let's do this." Zhou Andong thought for a while. "My own brother's engagement, and we, the brother and sister-in-law, didn't go back. Let's make an appointment tomorrow, let the two families have a meal, and I will return to Jiangzhou with Xiao Bei and Xiao Yi the day after tomorrow."

"Alright!" Jian Qiu agreed. "Xiao Bei and Xiao Yi went shopping, and they will be back soon." ===== CHAPTER 2116 =====
