The protagonist of our play, a TV cooking host, wants to borrow a house in Melbourne to make his home, see dozens of households, and finally decide to shoot in a house called Robert Lochan.
It's a three-story old factory conversion, in the back alleys of the city center, about three thousand feet per floor. As soon as you enter the door, downstairs is the garage, parked three cars, red Ferrari is used for candlelight dinner for two people in the evening, blue mercedes is used for work, and Land Rover four-wheeled driving is used for picnics in the countryside.
Going upstairs, on the wall of the stairs hangs a picture of his master as a child, his parents, his brothers and sisters, in school, graduation, in the navy, discharged from the army, travel to the world of famous places, go to high-end restaurants, tour the working environment, etc., explaining his life.
The owner was sixty years old, and he seemed to be only fifty, very handsome, and a well-known clothing company also asked him to be a model and shoot posters of shirts.
But what attracted us most was his kitchen, which occupied half the hall, and at the center of the kitchen was a large cabinet made of steel sheets, larger than the table where twelve people sat.
Behind the steel cabinet there were two large ovens, next to which were nine-headed stoves, four with electricity, four with gas, and the largest one for chinese food.
Behind the stove is a food storage room, two large refrigerators, and a wine cellar.
Yes, at a glance, I know that this master likes to eat, and he started by eating.
"People think I grew up in a rich family, but in fact we are just a well-off family, and this kind of enjoyment of the second ancestor was only learned by me later." Robert said: "I like to eat, it's my nature. Some people are delicious, but do not study, I have always loved to ask long questions and short questions, over time, I learned a lot of food and cooking knowledge, became a foodie. ”
Then he said, "A lot of rich people don't eat, they don't know what's the best thing to do when they're entertained, and although they're willing to spend money, they can't get their purpose, so they ask me." I helped them design, their guests were happy to eat, and the business was done. In order to thank me, they paid for the capital, I opened a takeaway company, specially for weddings and birthday parties, the business is doing more and more, the company is getting bigger and bigger, even the state banquet is also chartered to do. ”
"Congratulations." I say.
"But there are innate limitations." Robert said: "I want to carry forward the food business even more. ”
"Open a restaurant? Open a chain store? I asked.
"No, no." Roba said: "Of course I have opened the restaurant, but I am too sleepy. A good restaurant, the longer the history, the better, can maintain a certain standard, only a good restaurant, not to do a year or two. To maintain the standard, the owner of the meal must be very tightly watched, I do not have that patience. Do fast food restaurants, or let the Americans run it, I have never walked into a fast food restaurant, and my personality is incompatible. ”
"Then how can one carry forward the Dafa?"
"To go, I have to go the way that no one else has taken, and I have to have a new idea to be interested in doing it."
"What's the new idea?"
Robert explained: "Modern large institutions pay attention to the welfare of employees; eating, of course, is also a kind of welfare. I looked at the canteens of many big institutions, and the dishes were so bad that my idea came up, and I said to the chairmen of the big institutions: 'I can make the food better at the same price.' Of course they were happy to hear that. Diet is not necessarily the more expensive the better. Further, I set up their canteen, which I myself have had many Tibetan paintings for so many years, lent them to the canteen as decorations to create a better environment. ”
"Now I run a canteen that includes ClamShell Oil and the largest department store, Meyer, and their canteen has become a better place to eat than the famous restaurants in the city, and everyone is asking if there are any friends who work in the institution and if they can bring them in to eat."
"Living in the city of Melbourne, can it satisfy you?" I asked last.
Luo Bao smiled: "People always want a base, Melbourne is my base, I want to go to play wherever I want in the world, I can play anywhere." How stuffy the base is, it can't be stuffy to me. ”
