Chapter 752 Tea
Buying gifts is a technical job, especially buying gifts for people who are unfamiliar but have high status. With Jiang Feng's current social skills and social experience, he does not have this skill.
Wu Minqi is right, the apprenticeship banquet is the same as the wedding and the full moon wine. The host invites guests to dinner, and the guests must follow suit. But the ceremony for the apprenticeship banquet is more complicated than the wedding and full-moon wine. At least you can give a red envelope for the wedding and the full-moon wine, but not for the apprenticeship banquet.
So now the question is, what does Peng Changping like?
Jiang Feng knew nothing except that Peng Changping liked to eat melons and watch plays, and sometimes even liked to perform in person.
Jiang Feng, who really couldn't think of anything to give, could only send messages to Xu Cheng and Han Guishan to find out what the bosses with rich social experience would give.
When Xu Cheng returned the news first, Xu Cheng told Jiang Feng that the gift he had prepared was a Pu'er tea cake that he had bought at an auction a few years ago.
Han Guishan responded to the message at around 9 pm. The gift he prepared was also tea, but it was not Pu'er. It was the Lu'an Guapian that he also bought at the auction last year.
Jiang Feng:...
The business tycoons in other people's novels all buy antiques, jades, calligraphy and paintings at auction houses, but why are you all buying tea now?
Since Jiang Feng had been thinking about what to give during the entire evening business hours, he seemed absent-minded. On the contrary, he was completely different from Wu Minqi at noon.
Wu Minqi returned to normal, and Jiang Feng began to wander.
Sun Maocai, as the only head chef in Tai Feng House who received the salary of a head chef and also worked as a head chef, noticed Jiang Feng's absent-mindedness as early as the first time. But he never said anything before. He just walked up to Jiang Feng and wanted to remind him a few words when he was getting ready to get off work.
"How did Ge Tunyan do today?" Sun Maocai asked.
Jiang Feng was already preparing to pack up the things in his area. When he saw Sun Maocai coming to care about Ge Tunyan's progress, he quickly said: "It's okay, nothing went wrong."
"That's good." Sun Maocai smiled and nodded, watching Jiang Feng collect the things, "Actually, you don't need to do these things, just leave them to others."
A chef's time is usually precious and would never be spent on meaningless chores.
"I'm used to it." Jiang Feng did not stop moving his hands.
Sun Maocai smiled understandingly, knowing that Jiang Feng was not used to what he should be used to. He felt that Jiang Feng had made great progress. At least he had finally learned to command other chefs to help him cut ingredients and carry things for him.
"Did something happen in the afternoon? I feel like you were a little absent-minded tonight." Sun Maocai asked casually, as if he was asking a casual question about what you would eat tonight.
Sun Maocai's question simply penetrated Jiang Feng's heart. He had planned to go back tonight and send a message to Sun Maocai to ask him what gifts he had prepared. Now that Maocai had mentioned it directly, he asked him face to face.
"There is something, Master Sun. What gifts have you prepared for Master Peng's apprenticeship banquet tomorrow?"
Sun Maocai didn't expect Jiang Feng to ask this, and was a little surprised.
"I didn't prepare anything. The time was too short and I didn't have time to prepare anything good. I happened to have a can of good Maojian there, so I was going to take that can as a gift." Sun Maocai said.
Jiang Feng:...
Can't you give me something besides tea? Can you be a little innovative?
Noticing that something was wrong with Jiang Feng's expression, Sun Maocai thought that he had committed some taboo. For example, Peng Changping hated others giving tea as gifts, and he immediately became serious.
"Is there anything wrong?"
"No...it's nothing." Jiang Feng bit his lip subconsciously, "It's just that I haven't decided what to give yet. I asked you, Mr. Xu Cheng and Boss Han today, and all you three gave me was tea."< br>
Sun Maocai suddenly became interested: "Oh, what kind of tea are they sending?"
"Mr. Xu Cheng sent Pu'er, and Boss Han sent Lu'an Guapian."
Sun Maocai nodded: "It's all good tea. If you really don't know what to give me, I still have a can of Tieguanyin. Why don't I give it to you first?"
Jiang Feng was overjoyed: "Thank you so much. I have a headache and don't know what to give. Time is really tight. Please go back and check how much this Tieguanyin costs. I will transfer the money to you via WeChat."
"Not much. I don't remember the exact amount I bought at the auction a few years ago. Just give me a round number of 100,000." Sun Maocai said.
Jiang Feng:? ? ?
Jiang Feng resisted the urge to gasp on the spot and pretended to be calm, but his slightly trembling voice betrayed him: "How many kilograms of tea is this?"
"It should be two taels. This can of Tieguanyin was the king of tea back then. It was the fragrant type. I liked it better, so I bought a pound. I was in a hurry this time when I came to Peking and didn't bring much. If you like it, I will ask my wife to send it to you. , give you two cans." Sun Maocai was very generous.
"No, no." Jiang Feng refused repeatedly. He didn't even have enough private money for this jar of tea, so he had to ask Wang Xiulian for extra. He didn't deserve another jar.
A poor tea taster like him does not deserve such good tea.
After the gift matter was settled and his wallet was empty, Jiang Feng wanted to care about other things.
"Master Sun, I have something to ask you."
"You said."
"Why are the gifts you prepared all tea?" Jiang Feng felt that he needed to study the knowledge of gift giving, which would definitely come in handy in the future.
As he becomes more and more awesome and gets to know more and more big guys, he will definitely have to face the situation of needing to give gifts in the future. Even though these big guys may no longer have weddings and full-moon drinks for their children, they still have full-moon drinks for their children, and birthday banquets such as their 60th, 70th, 80th, and 90th birthdays, all of which require gifts.
Ask more and learn more now, and you will save two hairs when preparing gifts in the future.
"Well, Mr. Xu Cheng and that Mr. Han... Boss Han, I don't know exactly why they sent tea, but the reason should be similar to mine, mainly because they don't understand Master Peng's preferences." Sun Maocai explained, "If you know the other person's preferences, of course you can cater to them, but if you don't know, it's safest to give tea."
"Why?" Jiang Feng didn't understand.
"There are some other things in antique calligraphy and painting. Although it is good to be expensive, there are always people who don't like it and will step on it. As for expensive tea, even if you don't like to drink it, it is good to keep it as a collection. If it doesn't work, you can give it to others, which is safer. ”
"By the way, do you know if there are any shops nearby that are responsible for gift packaging? I can't just bring a tea can here, I have to wrap it more nicely." Sun Maocai said.
"I know. I will go to your house to pick up the tea when I get back later. When I go out tomorrow morning, I will just send it to the store to pack it. I will bring it with you in the evening." Jiang Feng agreed.
On the way home from get off work, the more Jiang Feng thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Peng Changping personally cooked the dinner for Peng Changping's apprenticeship, but the gifts everyone gave were all tea.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is not a gift to Peng Changping, but to Lu Sheng.
Dare to accept Peng Changping as his disciple, and Lu Sheng becomes the ultimate winner.
Eating and taking it all, it makes me a little jealous when I think about it.
Jiang Feng felt that his wallet hurt. (End of chapter)
