Grandma Hu felt that although her eldest son was a little naive and his mind was not quick, he had an advantage that many men did not have, which was that he “listened to advice.”

As the saying goes, "Listen to advice and you will have a full meal."

What Grandma Hu hates most in her life is people who are stupid and yet are too chauvinistic and refuse to listen to advice.

If you try to reason with him, he will argue with you and say that women have "long hair but little knowledge".

If you make trouble with him, he will say, "You women only know how to make trouble."

After all, he is right.

Grandma Hu has no idea what's wrong with men like this. They have no ability and don't listen to advice. They deserve to be poor all their lives!

In the past, people in the village often laughed at Hu Jianguo behind his back, saying that he looked foolish, was easily influenced by others, only listened to his mother and wife, and was a loser.

Pooh!

In Grandma Hu's opinion, her eldest son is the one who has a promising future.

Don't be fooled by these people in the village who listen to and watch operas all day long. They are just watching for fun and don't see any truth in them.

If you don’t believe me, watch Liu Bei in the opera. What else can he do besides crying?

But this man has one advantage that most men don’t have, and that is “he listens to advice.”

He knew that there were many people around him who were more capable than him, and he was willing to lose face and humbly ask those capable people for advice. He visited Zhuge Liang three times at his cottage in order to invite him to come out of seclusion. In the end, he divided the world into three parts and became the founding emperor of Shu Han.

After listening to his niece's words, Hu Jianguo felt that Jiang Tian was right. In addition, he loved his sister very much, so when he was building a hotel for Hu Qiongfang, he was very diligent and conscientious, even more dedicated than when he built a house for himself.

Sure enough, less than a year after the main store on the provincial road was demolished, Hu Jianguo helped the girl build a new restaurant.

After the provincial road was widened, Hu Qiongfang's original restaurant, including the parking lot in front and the restaurant, were all demolished. Half of the yard and three rooms at the back still belonged to them.

The residential land compensated by the government was right next to the original front and back yards. Hu Qiongfang spent some more money and bought a small pond between the two plots of land. After filling it up, the new store's area was actually larger than the old one.

Jiang Tian knew that after the widening of Provincial Highway 336, there would be no major changes for at least the next 20 years, so she persuaded her mother to use all the family compensation money to build a three-story hotel.

The first floor is a fast food restaurant that can accommodate 600 people at the same time, and the second floor is a banquet hall that can accommodate more than 30 large round tables.

Jiang Tian knew that people's lives would get better and better in the future. In the countryside, wedding banquets would still be held at home, but in towns and villages, some families who wanted to save face would gradually get used to holding wedding banquets in hotel banquet halls for big events such as weddings, housewarmings, and school enrollment.

Not to mention other towns along Provincial Highway 336, at least in their Shuangfeng Town, there is currently no high-end banquet hall that can accommodate more than 30 banquet tables at the same time.

Jiang Tian put a lot of thought into it and even went to the south with her uncle Hu to buy a lot of building decoration materials that were not available locally.

The banquet hall on the second floor was designed in the "rich gold" style that was particularly popular in China for a period of time.

In the words of Second Uncle Hu, as soon as you walk into this banquet hall, it feels like you have entered the Dragon Palace, it is so dazzling!

What is even more speechless is that Jiang Tian not only decorated the banquet hall in a dazzling "rich gold" style, she also specially asked someone to customize a batch of gold-rimmed bowls, plates and chopsticks.

Although it was a bit painful to spend the money, later facts proved that Jiang Tian's money was totally worth it!

Using gold-rimmed bowls and plates, even though the prices of dishes in Hu Qiongfang's banquet hall are twice as high as those in other small restaurants, people who come to book this banquet hall have to queue up every month.

Coming up from the banquet hall on the second floor, the third floor is full of private rooms, large and small, totaling sixteen rooms.

If you want to take the catering business to the extreme, how can you do without luxurious private rooms?

The largest private room on the third floor can accommodate more than 30 people for dinner at the same time, and even the dining table is a specially customized oversized rotatable dining table.

A luxurious crystal chandelier hangs in the middle.

Since I couldn’t find light strips, I embedded small bulbs in the ceiling and made dozens of downlights. When the lights were turned on, I added gold foil on the pillars… Let’s put it this way, if I didn’t put up some sea cucumbers and shark fins or something, it would be a shame for such a luxurious decoration!

After the luxury box on the third floor was renovated, on the first day of trial operation, Hu Qiongfang sent out invitations to all leaders and members of the Chamber of Commerce, as well as cadres from Shuangfeng Town, to come and experience it.

Fortunately, Hu Qiongfang used the excuse of "project acceptance", otherwise she would have been accused of inviting leaders from the entire township to dinner.

After this most luxurious banquet in the area, Fangjie Fast Food Restaurant was officially renamed "Haosheng Hotel". It was a complete transformation and became the most luxurious hotel along Provincial Highway 336.

Within three days of opening, reservations for the hotel banquet hall were scheduled for a month later.

Jiang Tian's guess was correct. After entering the 1990s, people had more money than before, so they paid more attention to the pomp and circumstance when holding weddings.

Especially after the widening of Provincial Highway 336, at least five out of ten families who rebuilt houses on new land chose to hold wedding banquets in restaurants when they moved into their new homes.

Especially Hu Qiongfang's "Hao Sheng Hotel", basically everyone who has seen the venue is attracted by it.

The reason why I can resist being tempted is not because I don’t like it, but because my savings don’t allow it.

But it doesn’t matter, because in addition to the luxurious banquet hall on the second floor, the “Ho Sheng Hotel” also has an affordable banquet hall on the first floor.

After discovering that hosting banquets had higher profits than fast food, Hu Qiongfang decisively cut off the fast food business on the first floor.

Anyway, there is already a branch serving fast food in Shuangfeng Town. If you really want to eat it, you can walk a few minutes to the branch and still get authentic Fangjie fast food.

The lobby on the first floor was also converted into a banquet hall, but the consumption level was much higher than that on the second floor.

In this way, those families who are reluctant to hold the banquet in the "rich gold" banquet hall on the second floor can simply lower the dining standards a little and hold the banquet on the first floor.

Apart from the fact that the dishes were not as high-end and expensive as those on the second floor, the invitation already said "Ho Sheng Hotel", so it didn't cost much and it was also face-saving.

For a while, reservations for the banquet hall on the first floor were even more popular than those for the second floor!

However, only the boss Hu Qiongfang knew that the most profitable part of the hotel was actually the luxury boxes on the third floor.

There’s nothing we can do about it. The people who booked the private room for the dinner are all big bosses of the local Chamber of Commerce.

When people spend money to treat you to a meal, they are asking them to do something for them. How can you save money on food and drink?

Tobacco, alcohol and tea must all be of the highest quality!

The dishes also have to include some rare and expensive ingredients.

If you meet someone who is very generous, the money he spends on treating a guest is enough for ordinary people to set up ten banquet tables in the banquet hall on the first floor.
