Chapter 405 Luck
The really cold weather is here soon.
On November 17, Beijing received its first heavy snowfall.
It was like falling on a big horse, and the temperature dropped directly to minus four degrees.
But even so, the citizens of the capital feel more at ease.
Because just like Mr. Qi in Lao She's "Four Generations Under One House", who wants to save enough pickles and grains for March and is not afraid of anything, at this time, every household in the capital has already stocked up enough to last until spring. Chinese cabbage, of course, can defy the harsh winter.
If a strong Chinese cabbage falls into the hands of people from the capital, nothing will be wasted.
From the inside to the outside, there are different ways to eat it.
The Lao Cai Bangzi on the outside is very strict and does not serve the food.
But in ordinary people's homes, they put it in a basin and pour it with boiling water, then add onions, ginger and salt and marinate it for two days.
Take it out, wash and chop it, add minced dried chili pepper and minced garlic and stir-fry over high heat. It is sour and spicy and appetizing. It is the best dish to go with rice.
After peeling off the laobangzi, the cabbage bunzi inside is most suitable for stir-frying.
The most common vinegar-braised cabbage in Beijing is mainly stir-fried with cabbage buns.
It pays attention to hot oil over high heat, and thickens the gravy before serving. It is bright in color and fragrant with garlic. It is a good dish to go with wine or rice.
Caibangzi can also be fried with meat, so you have to change the cutting method.
Cut the cabbage into long strips, cut the pork into shreds, and stir-fry over high heat.
Because of the curvature of Caibangzi itself, this dish has a humorous name - "Luo Guo Cai", which reveals the ordinary humor of Beijing people.
Using Caibangzi to make stuffing is also a must-have.
Chopped into dumplings and steamed buns, they taste delicious.
People in Beijing eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, and cabbage filling is essential.
Going up the cabbage, cabbage leaves are the most commonly used.
Chopped noodles and cooked in a soybean pot are a homely delicacy.
Break into large pieces and serve in hot pot. It is extra refreshing and relieves greasiness.
Stewed vermicelli with cabbage and tofu with cabbage are definitely dishes that every household must eat every day in winter.
The heart of cabbage is the treasure held tightly in the arms of the cabbage.
It can be fried, grilled or served cold.
Cut the cabbage heart into shreds, add salt, MSG, vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil. For those who are more particular about it, add some shredded jellyfish, mix well and drink with wine. It is a delicious dish.
What other kinds of golden cake cabbage hearts, quince mixed cabbage hearts, mustard dumplings, sauerkraut, kimchi, the winning buns eaten by the Manchu people...
It can be said that throughout the winter, there will be no more Any other vegetable can be as irreplaceable as Chinese cabbage.
The light and lingering taste of Chinese cabbage has long penetrated into the bones and blood of Beijing people and melted into their daily lives.
This is the confidence of Maodong, a native of Beijing.
No matter how heavy the wind and snow are, how low the temperature is, when people enter the house, they want to have a bowl of hot cabbage soup to eat.
You can fully feel the moisture and beauty in life, and feel warm from the inside out.
Contemporary people in the capital also like to use a slightly exaggerated metaphor to express their love for cabbage.
They often say that the stack of cabbage that everyone eats in a lifetime will be at least as high as the White Tower in Beihai.
Otherwise, why has the saying "radish and cabbage ensure safety" been passed down through the ages?
This is not only understood from the perspective of healthy diet, but also from people’s emotions and living habits.
Perhaps it is because I have done too many good things, or because I have been in contact with Chinese cabbage too frequently, that I have been blessed with this kind of "hundreds of wealth" all over my body.
During the period at the end of the year, Ning Weimin also received extra wealth, and everything went smoothly.
Let’s talk about work first.
The effect of the collective autumn outing was very obvious. After having fun, the girls under Ning Weimin were like robots full of electricity.
They all repay their work with high enthusiasm and enthusiasm. Clothing sales in specialty stores and Zhai Palace continue to rise.
And if you don’t know it, you will be shocked.
With the joint efforts of everyone, even the clothing sales of Zhai Palace, which was affected by the decrease in tourists in winter, have caught up with the airport store.
It can be said that Ning Weimin's business methods and management methods are not at the same level as Zou Guodong's, and he is too far away.
As expected, Zou Guodong's business performance was completely defeated by Ning Weimin.
As agreed in advance, there is basically no possibility that Zou Guodong will control the franchise store anymore.
Secondly, at the Sculpture Exhibition, teachers and students from major art academies across the country completed the submission of their works in early December and began to enter the award judging process.
The difference between this year and previous years is that many works from art schools come from far away.
With the current domestic logistics conditions, it is obviously unrealistic for teachers and students to transport large sculptures.
So many medium-sized and small-sized works have been added, and they are all placed indoors in the Zhai Palace.
Large-scale works still mainly rely on teachers and students from two art academies in Beijing to complete them outdoors in Zhai Palace. At most, some teachers and students from Jinmen Academy of Fine Arts have participated.
The Artists Association therefore adopts three sets of standards for its evaluation.
The awards for large works, medium-sized works and small works are separate.
This is equivalent to an increase in awards and the possibility of winning. Participants have a high creative passion, and the quality of their works is particularly outstanding.
For this reason, Ning Weimin also took the initiative to increase the cost and purchased a batch of professional exhibition lighting fixtures to install them to provide an ideal lighting environment for these works.
Facts have proven that these additional investments are worthwhile, because the need for investment can be reflected in the passenger flow alone.
Since the exhibition of these carefully crafted works, the number of visitors to the Zhai Palace has doubled without any publicity.
The management of the Temple of Heaven Park obviously found that the ticket sales at the West Gate increased, and many people bought tickets to enter the park just to come to Zhaigong.
Needless to say, in the dead of winter when there should be few tourists, this effect is very surprising.
Not to mention that the sales of Pierre Cardin's clothing have benefited from this, it is more obvious that the coffee shop business and the sales of handicrafts have been more effectively improved.
That's why Ning Weimin made a special trip to ask Song Huagui for instructions.
It is said that the people in China are really lacking in recreational activities.
It is recommended that an additional 20,000 yuan should be budgeted for media promotion.
From now on, we will vigorously operate this matter through newspapers and radio in order to obtain maximum social benefits and impact.
Song Huagui was very satisfied after seeing the live effect in person and communicating with the Temple of Heaven Garden.
We simply released Ning Weimin's financial rights for all activities.
Allow him to act expediently according to the actual situation and make full decisions within his own financial resources.
But this is nothing. What makes Ning Weimin even more happy is that Song Huagui suddenly transferred Huo Xin away.
Dare to love the Maxim restaurant in China, in order to realize Pierre Carton's request to restore the Maxim restaurant in Paris.
The decoration work must be carried out by a Japanese decoration company.
There are no suitable materials available in China, and the builders do not have that level of decoration.
When negotiating with the Japanese side, Huo Xin became a very necessary middleman.
Because the company needs to go to other colleges to find teachers and students from the Japanese department to do translation work through her.
She also needs her aunt, Director Huang, who handles foreign affairs approval work, to facilitate Japanese companies working in China.
For Ning Weimin, this was of course a good thing that fell from the sky. It made him happier than picking up a gold ingot.
At the very least, I can use my busy work as an excuse and be free for several months.
To put it bluntly, he is actually a bit of a married man with strict wife control. He was relieved and secretly happy to learn that his wife was going on a business trip for a long time.
Although this metaphor is actually inappropriate, he doesn't know why, it just feels like this.
