What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Tongshi Town belongs to Jianzhou City, and its location is not far from neighboring provinces. The landforms are mainly hills and mountains, especially to the north of Tongshi Town, there are large areas of sparsely populated mountainous areas. This is also the main reason why Xiang Kun chose this place one of the reasons.

And it took a total of more than four hours to drive back to the city of Yitong City from here, which was also within an acceptable range. If there was anything at home, he could return to take care of it in time.

Due to work reasons, parents are unlikely to visit him often. It takes nearly ten hours to go back and forth on the road. Basically, it is possible to come here only on holidays, reducing the chance of being "surprised".

According to the address that Xiang Kun had received on WeChat before, he used the mobile phone map to directly guide him to a newly built commercial street in the town.

It was almost 12 noon at this time, but the flow of people on the commercial street was very limited. Except for the two fast food restaurants starting with M and K, there were very few customers in the surrounding restaurants. Residents recognized that there was no excitement.

The person he asked to help find a place for the breeding farm was a friend he had known since elementary school, named You Meng. When I was at the same table with him in elementary school, the two of them studied how to play the arcade for one coin, combo skills of King of Fighters 97, how to make a fishhook for fishing, where to read the latest long novel of Doraemon, and the store at the school entrance. The trick to the lottery draw is a good partner out of interest...

Xiang Kun walked into a restaurant called "Youlong Restaurant". Like most of the restaurants on this street, although it was time for dinner, there was only one customer eating, which seemed quite deserted.

Seeing Xiang Kun, a waitress immediately greeted her and asked timidly, "Sir, how many diners?"

"Is your boss there?" Xiang Kun asked.

After a while, You Meng, who was called out from the kitchen by the waiter, was a little surprised when he saw Xiang Kun: "Hello?"

Even his mother couldn't recognize him now. Xiang Kun was quite used to this kind of behavior from his old friend. He smiled and said, "Fatty, it's me, Xiang Kun."

You Meng was nicknamed "Fatty" when he was in elementary school, but now he is not fat at all. Although there is a Meng in his name, he still runs a restaurant and is his own chef, but he looks tall, thin and gentle. More like a teacher than a cook.

Hearing his nickname and familiar voice, and the fact that he had contacted Xiang Kun through WeChat on the way before he came, You Meng quickly recognized the bald man with glasses in front of him.

"I'm going, you can't continue programming, have you gone to move bricks? From the IT world to the engineering world... or the religious world? You are so strong... and you have a bald head,

This change is too big, and the character design of Fat Boy's technical house was ruthlessly abandoned by you. "

As soon as You Meng recognized Xiang Kun, he instinctively began to complain.

"Isn't this just going to come back to be a farmer?" Xiang Kun said with a smile, and then nodded to a short-haired woman who heard the sound from the cashier not far away. He came back when You Meng got married a few years ago, and participated Wedding, I know this is You Meng's wife, and there is a word "Long" in her name, so the restaurant they opened is called "You Long". Use the first name instead of the last name, how good it is to call it "Menglong Hotel", it is so majestic and domineering!

"Haven't you eaten yet? Go and sit down first. I'll get you something to eat together."

Xiang Kun pulled You Meng who was about to turn back to the back kitchen, and said with a smile, "I'm hungry on the way, and I've already eaten, just get something for yourself."

"Okay, then I'll make some side dishes." You Meng was not polite to him either.

Because there was only one customer in the restaurant, the dishes had already been served, and there was nothing else going on in the kitchen, so You Meng and Xiang Kun went directly to a table in the corner to sit and chat.

"Is your shop a bit deserted?" Xiang Kun said bluntly.

You Meng sighed, shook his head and said: "It's not just deserted, it can't be opened anymore, business is not good, the rent is too expensive, and it will be put away next month."

Xiang Kun knew that after You Meng graduated from high school, he didn't go to college and helped in the small restaurant opened by his family. After the commercial street was built here, he came out to open a shop by himself with the support of his wife.

In terms of cooking skills, You Meng is definitely not bad, otherwise he would not have the confidence to invest so much in opening a restaurant by himself as the chef.

When he just entered the store, he had subconsciously collected all kinds of information, from the smell of the two dishes that the only diners were eating, the physical reactions of the diners when eating, the types and prices of dishes on the menu in the store, and the hygiene of the store. The situation has already reached a basic judgment.

"Are you really planning to open a breeding farm?" You Meng asked again: "Why don't you find a place near Zaitong City? Or go to your hometown to open it? How can I say there, the traffic and economic conditions are better, The market will be bigger."

"I'm just tired of staying in the big city, so I came here to hide in the quiet." Xiang Kun said.

You Meng nodded: "However, the place I asked for you, my wife heard people say today, it seems that it is not what I said before, it is so simple to close it without making money, it seems that the EIA procedure cannot be completed, so It was forced to close down. If that’s the case, it would still be troublesome for you to sell that place and continue to open the farm, and it would be a bottomless pit to invest in supporting pollution prevention and control facilities.”

Since Xiang Kun mentioned "cheap" as one of the venue selection conditions, in his opinion, naturally he didn't have much money to invest in it.

Xiang Kun was taken aback: "Is that so?"

You Meng sighed: "You probably will be wasting your trip this time, just go back to Tongshi to see your old friends."

"It's okay, let's go and have a look first, maybe there is a solution." Xiang Kun said not too concerned, anyway, he is not in a hurry, and if the surrounding area of ​​Tongshi Town is not good, it is his request to find a new place Not too high.

You Meng nodded, got up and went to the cashier to find his wife and took the car keys before leaving.

"Wait a minute, it's time for dinner, what if there are still guests coming?" Xiang Kun said.

"It's okay. My nephew is watching in the kitchen. He knows how to cook most of the dishes on the menu. If he can't, just tell the customer that he doesn't have any. Anyway, this shop will take it." You Meng said indifferently.

Xiang Kun said, "Don't worry, let's go to your kitchen."

You Meng thought that Xiang Kun wanted to visit his shop, so he took him to the back kitchen as he said, and said as he walked, "There are three private rooms on the second floor. Damn it, I thought it was a good idea at the beginning. The income has risen, and the new commercial street here has become taller again. We also want to take the high-end route. The profit is relatively high, and the decoration costs a relatively large amount. Alas... my wife is in bad luck. Yes, the dowry is all lost."

When he arrived in the kitchen, Xiang Kun saw You Meng's nephew, a young man in his early twenties, fat and shy, and under You Meng's introduction, he called "Brother Xiang".

"Let's go, there's nothing to see in the kitchen. I'll show you the private room upstairs. I spent a lot of time decorating it, and I've exhausted all my artistic energy." You Meng said, planning to leave the kitchen.

But Xiang Kun stopped him: "Do you have rabbit meat?"

You Meng said: "Rabbit meat? No, why, do you want to eat rabbit meat? That stuff is not popular here, uh, I have some bamboo rat meat, do you want to try it? Damn it, there has been an online scam in the past two years A group called Farmer Brothers, specializing in bamboo rats, is very popular, and now there are a lot more bamboo rats, but the price has actually increased, 75 per catty, damn it!"

The nephew behind him whispered, "It's Huanong Brothers..."

Xiang Kun said, "Bamboo rat meat is fine too. Come on, I'll marinate it first, and I'll show you my hands when I come back tonight."

You Meng was surprised and said: "You can also cook?" He knew the character of his friend, if he was not really good at it, he would not have made this request in front of him, the chef who opened a restaurant.

"It's a little bit careful, you don't have any other arrangements for this piece of bamboo rat meat?"

"No, no, you can do whatever you want."

After Xiang Kun finished marinating the bamboo rat meat and asked nephew You to put it in the refrigerator, the two left the restaurant and took You Meng's minivan to Chongyun Village, which was more than 20 kilometers away from the town.

Jianzhou City is worthy of the saying that there are eight mountains, one water and one field. Wherever you look, there are mountains everywhere, and the roads are naturally all kinds of winding and rugged.

And in the last seven or eight kilometers, all of them are unpaved roads, which is quite difficult.

Fortunately, You Meng is an old driver, and he often travels this road, so he knows which pitfalls to avoid. But even so, the chassis of his little bread was often scratched, and the creaking sound made Xiang Kun frowned, but You Meng didn't care, saying that this car body has been tested and tested for a long time. Lu Shengsheng is a trustworthy old buddy.

"You said at first that you would come back to open a breeding farm. I thought you were just joking, but I didn't expect it to be serious. What do you think? With your ability, you shouldn't be able to stay in a big city, right?" You Meng drove the car and asked curiously.

"It's just that I'm too tired in the big city, so I want to live in the mountains and relax. Look at my head, it consumes too much brainpower, and I'm bald." Xiang Kun ruthlessly laughed at himself.

"Then you shouldn't open a breeding farm, it's not easy." You Meng shook his head and said.

"Let's not talk about me first, let's talk about you. I don't think your restaurant may be a mess." Xiang Kun changed the subject.

"What can you do? You should have seen it when you came here. The whole commercial street is half dead. It's because the developer didn't plan well at the beginning, and it wasn't strong enough. It's not something that a store or a few people can change."

"Actually, the taste of your food is definitely not a problem. The main thing is to promote it. Now that the traffic is so developed, if your shop becomes popular, it doesn't really matter if the street has a lot of traffic."

"Why is there no publicity? When it first opened, I also rented a billboard outside the expressway exit for ten days to advertise. I also found a friend to organize a 20% off activity in the circle of friends, and posted it on the local forum... …Sigh, it’s useless. Now the most sold is the order on the takeaway platform, but the profit is too low, and the rent of my shop is too high to be able to afford it. So I figured it out. Delivery." You Meng was also full of bitterness.

Xiang Kun shook his head: "This is not how the propaganda is done these days."
