Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

Going somewhere nice?

Qin Feng's expression gradually became a little strange.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't think in the wrong way. I'm not talking about that kind of place!" Ge Zhiyong glared at him unhappily.

"It's time for dinner, so I'm going to take you out to eat something. I asked you to be my military advisor, so I can't let you go hungry, right?"

Qin Feng smiled. It seemed that he was indeed overthinking it.

Because he had to be on an empty stomach for the morning physical examination, he didn't eat breakfast either.

Coupled with the fatigue of several hours of driving, Qin Feng's stomach had already begun to protest seriously.

Soon, the car drove to a restaurant and stopped.

"arrive."

Ge Zhiyong got out of the car first, and Qin Feng followed suit by opening the door.

But when he looked up and saw the restaurant sign, he was suddenly stunned.

"Veteran's BBQ?"

Qin Feng looked at Ge Zhiyong with some doubt: "We are having barbecue at noon?"

Ge Zhiyong smiled: "This restaurant doesn't just serve barbecue, it also has homemade stir-fries. Come on, I'll take you to try some."

It's clearly dinner time now, but business in the store isn't very good.

There are more than 20 tables in the entire hall, but only two or three are occupied.

"Old Fan!" After Ge Zhiyong entered, he shouted directly to the kitchen.

Immediately, a man wearing a chef's uniform and holding a big spoon came out with a smile.

"Hey, Lao Ge, it's not even the weekend yet, how come you have time to come to my place today?"

"Bringing the new recruits out for a physical exam, just in time to do something on the way."

"Okay, the same old three?"

“It’s still the same old three!”

Old Fan greeted Qin Feng with a smile, then immediately went to the kitchen to start cooking.

Qin Feng found a random place to sit down, picked up the kettle, poured a cup for the company commander, and also poured a cup for himself.

Then, he looked at the store's decoration curiously.

The decoration of the store is mainly based on a wild and tough style.

Some patriotic graffiti, plus some decorations made from scrap metal and used tires.

It feels like entering a cabin map in CrossFire...

After a while, three plates of exquisite and delicious dishes were served on the table.

Ge Zhiyong asked Qin Feng to eat first, while he started chatting with Lao Fan, who was already familiar with him.

Through their conversation, Qin Feng learned that Lao Fan's full name was Fan Ma and he was the second child in the family.

He was originally a soldier in the Sixth Company, and later by chance, he served as a patrol for a period of time.

After retiring from the army, he opened a Veteran BBQ restaurant in the local area.

It's just that the business has been bad, so he added some cooking to try to save the situation, but the results were not ideal...

"Xiao Qin, how does it taste?" Old Fan asked with a smile.

"Old squad leader, from the beginning till now, I have never stopped talking."

Hearing Qin Feng's praise, Lao Fan's face was wrinkled with smile.

"As long as you like it, it's good that you came early. If you had come two months later, you might not have been able to eat it."

"What's wrong?" Ge Zhiyong looked at him puzzledly: "Did you encounter any difficulties?"

Lao Fan smiled bitterly and waved his hands: "Actually, it's nothing serious. I just can't make any money and my business can't continue. It's too tiring."

"You can see that there are only two or three tables at lunch time."

“It’s better at night, but the occupancy rate is less than half.”

"The money I earn is just enough to cover the rent, utilities, and pay my employees' salaries..."

After hearing about Lao Fan's situation, Ge Zhiyong didn't know what to say except sighing.

After all, different trades are like different mountains, so he needs training to become an expert.

But he really knows nothing about opening a store and doing business.

Suddenly, Ge Zhiyong seemed to think of something and nodded at Qin Feng next to him.

"You little brat, eat and work. Use your brain and help this old comrade of mine, your senior, to come up with a solution."

Qin Feng put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and then looked at Lao Fan seriously.

"Old squad leader, I have a bold idea, but I don't know if you dare to give it a try?"

Old Fan looked at Ge Zhiyong in confusion, not understanding what a new recruit could do.

"tell me the story?"

"You're just like this..."

......

"Hahahaha, you're such a mean guy! You've almost dug up all the bamboo shoots on the mountain. Hahahaha!"

Ge Zhiyong laughed while driving.

At the same time, his right hand was still patting Qin Feng's thigh hard.

Each blow was heavier than the last, causing Qin Feng's teeth to ache.

"It hurts, it hurts, Captain, be gentle, be gentle!"

"Hahaha, where on earth do you get all these crazy ideas?"

"They even thought of changing Veteran BBQ to Patrol BBQ and letting Lao Fan hang up photos of himself as a patrolman in the shop!"

"Genius, you really are a genius! From now on, Old Fan will probably be troubled by a bunch of veterans every day, hahahaha!"

Qin Feng smiled awkwardly: "That's why I said this is a bold idea..."

In fact, the location and taste of this store are not bad, so it shouldn't be to the point of closing down.

Even if you can't make a lot of money, there will definitely be no problem in supporting your family.

So Qin Feng felt that part of the reason might be the name of the store.

Any store with the word "veteran" on it.

Veteran barbecue, veteran billiards, veteran bath...

When people go shopping, they always have some special expectations in their hearts.

But after eating it, I found that it was just so-so, and I probably won’t come again next time.

Therefore, Qin Feng gave Lao Fan two suggestions.

The first thing is to change the doorhead and the sign.

The four words "Lao Bing BBQ" have no characteristics and are too ordinary.

Just like on a certain platform, many novels are titled "Who told you to be XXX?", which is really lacking in highlights and too mediocre.

If it is not attractive enough, it will be difficult to catch the attention of consumers.

The Jiucha BBQ is absolutely unique and different!

As for why the store hung photos of Lao Fan as a patrol officer, the purpose was naturally to attract customers.

Many veterans were caught and punished by white hat patrols while they were in the army.

The phrases “Comrade, please stay!” and “Comrade, please show your ID!” are the nightmares of countless people.

White hats serve as defenders of military appearance and discipline in the army.

Every day I am either offending people or on my way to offending people.

It is said that a qualified patrolman must have offended at least a regiment of people.

As a result, every time the demobilization season comes, the patrols have to leave early.

But even so, there are still many enthusiastic veterans who want to bring some local specialties to say hello.

Therefore, at this time, patrolling the barbecue becomes a guiding light.

Once this sign is hung up, many local veterans can find it just by smelling the scent with their eyes closed.

Since you are here, you should order two skewers of barbecue, right?

Shouldn’t we order a plate of smashed cucumbers?

Shouldn't you drink two small bottles of beer to smooth things over?

How impressive would it be if you told others that you had a former patrolman serving you?

How can I not feel comfortable and happy while eating this meal?

Of course, this gimmick is only temporary; the key is to control the taste and the marketing strategy.

So, the second suggestion Qin Feng gave to Lao Fan was.

As long as consumers enter the store, they will be given a free serving of peanuts and cold kelp salad.

At the end, give them a small drink, a small candy, or a small voucher.

The cost is basically negligible, but it can leave a good impression on customers.

In psychology, this is also known as the "peak-end rule."

In simple terms, it means that the experience is pleasant at the peak and end.

Then your feeling about the whole experience will be pleasant.

Even if the food in this restaurant is indeed average, I would still think that the meal was pretty good.

The one who has taken this law to the extreme is the hot pot giant Hai Mou Lao.

This is also why, even though the hotpot at this restaurant tastes average, the soup base is very expensive and the price is relatively high.

But that’s still the main reason why so many young people go there.

At this moment, Qin Feng suddenly felt that if he had not joined the army.

Instead, he opened a shop and did business outside. With his smarts, he would definitely make a fortune.

......

Twenty minutes later, the car gradually left the main road.

The road became more and more remote, and there were fewer and fewer buildings on both sides.

Looking at the increasingly dense woods around him, Qin Feng was full of confusion.

"Captain, are you planning to sell me to the deep mountains and forests?"

Ge Zhiyong glanced at him and laughed: "You are worth nothing. I brought you here today to see the world."

"See the world?"

At this moment, a sign indicating a military restricted area suddenly appeared in front of us.

After walking a little further, a roadblock and two armed sentries began to appear.

After Ge Zhiyong lowered the car window and handed over his ID, the sentry removed the roadblock and let him pass.

After driving a short distance ahead, we came to a grand gate.

After another identity check, the gate attendant made a phone call to confirm before opening the door and letting people in.

"Captain, what kind of place is this? Why is the security so tight?"

Looking at Qin Feng's surprised eyes, Ge Zhiyong smiled slightly and said.

"Have you heard of the Thunder Leopard Special Forces?"

"Is this the Special Forces?"

Qin Feng was slightly stunned.

Are you going to send special forces to me all of a sudden?

Didn’t you ask me to help you with advice and be your military advisor?

Why bring me to the special forces?

Wait a minute, could it be...

"You're overthinking it." Ge Zhiyong seemed to guess that Qin Feng was imagining things: "She's just a civilian cadre here, not a combatant."

Qin Feng said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

But the look outside was still full of curiosity.

He wanted to see how big the difference was between special forces and ordinary troops.

The car finally stopped at the side of an office building. As Qin Feng got out of the car, he heard bursts of shouting and killing coming from not far away.

Ge Zhiyong first ran to Lougang to ask, then immediately ran back and led Qin Feng forward.

After passing the office building, there is an open training ground in front.

The training ground is much larger than that of the recruit company and has more training equipment.

At this moment, the training ground was filled with shouts of fighting and shouting, as a company of soldiers were training.

Some opened wine bottles with their heads, some split bricks with one hand, and some tore stainless steel basins apart with their bare hands.

Especially those groups fighting against each other in the sand pit.

Every punch he threw was enough to draw blood.

Qin Feng's scalp tingled when he saw this.

Is special forces training always so brutal?

Compared to that, the new recruits' marching and standing at attention are just like children playing house...

"Company commander, isn't the person we are looking for here?" Qin Feng was puzzled. Why did the company commander bring him here?

"Here." Ge Zhiyong raised his chin and pointed at a figure in the distance: "The female lieutenant with a round face on the left is Zhu Huihui."

At this moment, Ge Zhiyong's face was filled with tenderness, as if it was about to melt: "She is the white moonlight in my heart..."

Qin Feng followed his gaze and suddenly widened his eyes in horror.

"Captain, are you talking about the woman who tore open a stainless steel basin with her bare hands and chopped three red bricks with one hand? Is she your dream girl?"

You call this a clerical job?

You call this non-combatants?

This girl is clearly a tigress!
