Chapter 345 - Earn Money Through Tradition
Standing under the Divine Dragon Great Restaurant's signboard, Yang Haosheng felt as if he was dreaming.
It turned out that he did not think that the signboard in the past was stingy. However, compared to the current signboard, it was nothing more than trash. No, it could even be considered trash.
Putting aside everything else, just by placing this signboard here, no one would think that it was a low-class restaurant.
He was also an experienced chef in the food and beverage industry. He knew that the era of the wine was long gone. Even if the wine was fragrant, you still had to shout and advertise it. Even if it was a top-grade wine, it could only be sold for a few yuan per kilogram. However, if it was a high-grade and luxurious bottle, it could be sold for tens of thousands of yuan.
It was something that he could not even imagine in the past. Now that the packaging and promotion were so prevalent, anything could happen.
“Mr. Xiaolong, I can't believe that this is our restaurant!” Luh Xiaoya raised her head and looked up at the signboard.
“Yeah, even I didn't expect that the first restaurant we opened in Yanjing would be a restaurant.” Zhang Xiaolong could only admit that it was an accident.
“Ah? Then what should we do? Is it too late for us to stop now?” Luh Xiaoya was a little nervous.
“From a medical point of view, China has lost a lot of its traditional culture. It's not like any country is shameless enough to take our things as their ancestors. The main point is that a lot of us don't care about it.” Zhang Xiaolong felt a little pained when he said that. “Why is it that the things that are valued in the K Country and Great Yang Country are being criticized as fake science and liars in our own country? And when these people turn their heads, they feel that the things in the K Country and Great Yang Country are good. Those who say such things probably don't really understand the true meaning of the word ‘science'...”
“Mr. Xiaolong, I understand what you mean, but...” Luh Xiaoya had no choice but to interrupt, “Didn't we agree on the rules? Why did it become a medical one?”
Zhang Xiaolong was also embarrassed, “Right, right. The waiters will follow the ancient etiquette. Yes, we will be a restaurant with an ancient charm style, but the waiters' clothes should not be the same as the waiters' clothes in traditional restaurants. This kind of style is not good, it makes the waiters look like they are inferior. We will find someone to redesign and customize the clothes. Regardless of whether it is traditional or western, we will follow a principle. We will take the essence and remove the impurities. Only by doing so can we make it better, and we can also make the tradition better.”
“Xiaolong, I can see that you are different from others. Others are earning money, but you are not!” Yang Haosheng sighed with emotion.
The reason why Zhang Xiaolong was so excited was because he mentioned the heritage of TCM. It could be seen that he was very concerned about these traditional inheritances. However, were there only TCM inheritances left behind by the ancestors?
Of course not. It was not only TCM inheritances that were disappearing. Many other things were slowly being abandoned and forgotten after being attacked by the western culture!
Although there were some parts of these traditional inheritances that needed to be abandoned, this was not the reason why everyone was rejecting the tradition. In the process, there were even more valuable things being mercilessly erased.
Although Zhang Xiaolong's strength was still very small, he was determined to save these things with his own efforts!
“Mr. Yang, that's wrong.” Zhang Xiaolong shook his head seriously, “I am also earning money. I don't do things that are losing money. Many people would say that the tradition is old when they mention it. When they mention culture, they would say that it is losing money. I just want to let everyone see that TCM culture can also earn money, and in a fair and honorable manner!”
Just as he was speaking, Jiaang Yu called him.
