Chapter 1225 Ming Yi
After a meeting solves the ideological problem, the rest will be easier to handle.
Everything has been prepared beforehand, and all we owe is this east wind.
Of course, there is more to it than that. We need to divide work areas for the teams that are about to settle in, determine the R&D collaboration mechanism, discuss the openness of the system to outsiders, revise a stricter confidentiality system, and even Including training on diplomatic etiquette, etc...
Zhou Zhi can only be said to have done his part. As for other things, he only has coordination authority, or ability, at most.
This meeting cannot solve all these problems, but at least it can establish a work tree and timetable for solving these problems. According to the practice of science and engineering, the rest is to incorporate them into process management, divide tasks, receive tasks, and complete tasks.
This part of the work now also belongs to the inspection team, and Zhou Zhi also has to take charge of it.
After the meeting, Zhou Zhi took An Chunjia and Hu Tianyu and ran to the small restaurant behind the school gate to eat.
Fu Xia was the first to discover this small restaurant. The two of them ate vegetarian pepper and mixed sauce noodles here for the first time.
After getting to know the boss well, Zhou Zhi once saw the boss fry a sweet and sour lotus root for a friend, and paired it with a hot pork sausage. Zhou Zhi realized that the boss had something special and a "hidden menu".
After bringing a bottle of good wine and food, this place became Zhou Zhi's "private restaurant". For gatherings that needed to be more private, Zhou Zhi would bring people here and everyone could eat and drink.
"Brother Ming! We are here again!" Noodle restaurants are usually busier in the morning, so this meeting was delayed until one o'clock, which was already past the business hour.
Hearing Zhou Zhi's greeting, a middle-aged man with a beard in the store raised his head: "The elbow is back? The soy sauce is almost running out."
"Bring it with you, let Xiao Sun go. Get it from the trunk! And braised vinegar!” The quality requirements for oil and vinegar are a bit high. Of course, if you want to do business, it cannot be as high as Sheng Xinglong and Tianxian vinegar. However, the soy sauce and vinegar brought by Zhou Zhi are of the same grade as the ordinary bottled goods in the Red Star mini supermarket. Almost the same, but better than being "alive".
That is, fresh soy sauce and fresh vinegar that have not gone through the killing process. If not used for a long time, a layer of fungi will grow on the surface. The difference from bottled ones is that they can be used for fresh draft beer and canning. Using beer as an example, the aroma level and consistency are not on the same level.
Of course, keeping things fresh is a problem when doing this at home, but noodle shops consume a lot of these two things. Now that there is a way to get fresh soy sauce and vinegar, it is almost a win at the starting line.
"Why have we added another table? This business is getting better and better." Zhou Zhi looked at the small tables set up outside the store, as well as the late diners who had not finished leaving, and the people who had not yet had time to collect their food. The noodle bowl picked up: "Are you too busy to come here?"
"What's too busy to cook a few bowls of noodles?" Brother Ming's name is Mingyi, which is easy to remember for Zhou Zhi. Human friendship also starts from here.
At first, Mingyi had some impression of this boy who often came here to eat noodles with the foreigner. The foreigner was greedy, but this boy was naughty and would always only eat the vegetarian noodles with pepper and mixed sauce here.
However, Mingyi thought this guy was "knowledgeable" because when he came to eat noodles for the first time, he introduced to the female foreigner that the soy sauce used in the vegetarian pepper noodles here was specially made by the boss and was called "made soy sauce" , but there is none in the foreigner’s bowl of braised pork ribs noodles.
Later, we came often and everyone became a little familiar with it. One time Zhou Zhi saw the name on the business license and made a bet with the female foreigner that he knew the origin of the boss.
The female foreigner didn’t believe it, so Zhou Zhi called Mingyi over and asked him if he was born when the sun was setting.
The result was correct. Not only the female foreigner was shocked, but also the boss himself.
Then Zhou Zhi explained to everyone that Ming Yi is one of the sixty-four hexagrams, and Yi means injury. The ancient great scholar Zheng Xuan’s annotation is, “When the sun rises on the earth, its brightness is light; If it goes into the ground, it will be injured if it is bright, so it is called Ming Yi." Therefore, he guessed that the boss's elders named the boss based on this point in time.
Mingyi frowned a little when he heard this. He knew the meaning of this name. He also checked the book, but found that it was not a good divination. It is generally used to metaphorically describe a cowardly king, a wise minister who suffers hardship, and is depressed. situation.
However, Zhou Zhi told Mingyi that he had misunderstood it. He was going astray when explaining the Book of Changes by reading a fortune-telling book. The reason why "Yi" is called "Yi" lies in its dynamic and dialectical understanding, which is the unique core attribute of Chinese philosophy.
The hexagram "Ming Yi" is "Use obscurity to make it clear, benefit hardship and chastity". What does it mean? It's just that bad luck is just an appearance, but staying true to your heart is the most important thing.
In difficult times, as long as you continue to persevere, you can wait for the situation to change, so it is called "profit".
The boss’s parents used a seemingly bad hexagram to name the boss. In fact, it contains a deep meaning. Just like the setting sun, it will eventually burst out again. Keeping a good attitude is the key .
Mingyi felt enlightened. At that moment, Zhou Zhi was like a wizard in his eyes. He took a wand and released the curse on his name.
From that moment on, Mingyi felt that his whole mentality seemed to be different.
What’s even more amazing is that even the business in the store is starting to get better and better.
Although Zhou Zhi thinks that this is because he brought fresh soy sauce and vinegar to Mingyi, and you used to have an expression as if everyone owed you hundreds of thousands, Fu Xia's attitude is also Old foreigners will not dislike you.
But he couldn't stand some people who liked feudal superstition. Mingyi decided that Zhou Zhi was his "noble man", and the relationship between the two became better.
Later, when Zhou Zhi discovered that Ming Yi was a hidden culinary master, he was even more rude.
“Today I will stir-fry rapeseed, green pepper and shredded pork. When you come, I will add shredded potatoes and pork. How about a spinach soup?”
“Spinach can also be made into soup. Broth?" Zhou Zhi was a little surprised: "One is astringent and the other is smooth, do they go together?"
"Wouldn't it make it less astringent after passing the water first?" Mingyi smiled and said: "Isn't it the same as handling winter bamboo shoots?"
"That makes sense." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "Then add some more Shredded pork with winter bamboo shoots. I was too busy to eat it at home, so I brought it over this time.”
Zhou Zhi often pulls ingredients here, and he doesn’t necessarily have to eat them. Sometimes he is too busy, just throws down the ingredients and eats a bowl of vegetarian pepper mixed sauce noodles and then leaves.
If the ingredients were fresh, Mingyi would not be polite to Zhou Zhi, even if it was a blessing to himself.
"Then hurry up! Peel a few out." Mingyi smiled and said: "We will add some fried winter bamboo shoots and shredded pork in plain oil."
"Let's go around and teach you. Peel the bamboo shoots." Zhou Zhi pulled An Chunjia and Hu Tianyu over to share the meal.
Every dish at Mingyi is carefully prepared and tastes very good, and he has his own ideas for cooking.
The most powerful cooking master Zhou Zhi knows is Zhang Yuanfu, but although Zhang Yuanfu is a master of Sichuan cuisine, he has inherited the teachings of his master.
Zhou Zhi discovered that Mingyi thinks carefully when cooking, so the dishes he makes have his own ideas and often have more "soul" than the master's.
That's why he likes to come.
