National Tide 1980.

Chapter 484 Under the Tree
Time passed unconsciously.

As soon as people in the capital have eaten rice dumplings with rice and jujube, they almost enter the season of eating fresh eggplants.

(Note: "醏" pronounces the sound of "du". This dish is a home-cooked dish in Beijing. Because of the special method, it can only be eaten in summer. The round eggplant with skin is cut into hob pieces, and it is exposed to the summer sun for four hours. For an hour, until the eggplant is sun-dried, then add soy sauce and soybeans and stew together, without a little oil, add sugar to collect the juice when cooked, pour hot pepper oil on the pan, and sprinkle with coriander. Salty and sweet appetizer, fragrant and delicious)
During this period of time, Ning Weimin painted an exciting prospect for the entire project preparation team.

And almost all the fat purchases that have nothing to do with arts and crafts are subcontracted on a per capita basis.

His subordinates can be said to be highly motivated, and almost all of them are fully motivated to work.

Everyone's working status is extremely vigorous, and they can be called dragons and tigers.

In addition, Ning Weimin is not only good at juggling the two tricks of "painting cakes" and "sharing benefits", he is also very good at management.

It not only clearly divides the responsibilities and credits, but also puts logistics, reimbursement, and benefits in place.

This makes people's hearts more cohesive, and everyone's energy is directed towards one place.

So as long as there is a need for work, no matter whether they work overtime or run errands, the people in the group are not vague at all, and they are completely voluntary and voluntary.

Ever since, throughout June, the progress of the joint venture restaurant was very smooth and rapid.

Like Beishenchu, the restoration project of the ancient construction team is proceeding in an orderly manner under the care of the deputy director.

Needless to say, the restoration of the exterior of the building must have started first.

In addition to the most severely damaged glazed tiles and floor tiles being brought in one after another, workers have already begun to replace the brick floors in the courtyard walls.

What's more important is that the sill walls of each hall have also been erected with scaffolding and started construction.

It is gradually returning to the original specification of 1.2 meters from the height of 1.5 meters.

Even the painted and unique stone watchboards will be restored later.

It will be restored in strict accordance with the original style and meticulously, and no changes have been made to save trouble.

It's just that the repair of ancient buildings is, after all, a delicate work of a special type of work.

It is estimated that these are all done, and it will take at least three or four months.

And only when all these are done well, can we further construct and decorate the restaurant to meet the business needs of the restaurant.

So in comparison, it is still a small two-story building at No. 87 Tiantan North Road, and the construction progress is faster.

There, the excavation of the basement has been successfully completed, and the installation of the civil cold storage equipment is currently in progress.

The basic decoration work on the first floor and the second floor has also been completed, and the elevator manufacturer is installing and debugging their equipment.

Manufacturers that provide kitchen equipment are also drawing planning sketches based on on-site conditions.

In order to provide several plans for the relevant person in charge to discuss with the chefs who will be busy in this big kitchen in the future, so that the final decision can be made.

As for the busiest, it must be the second floor, because almost every day people come to measure the size on site.

This is not surprising at all.

Don't forget, the palace lantern factory that Ning Weimin found, of course, needs to measure the size in order to install the palace lantern.

There is also the Jingcheng Hardwood Furniture Factory, which helped him restore those wooden furniture.

It is also responsible for installing some repaired floor-to-ceiling flower covers, partitions, window decorations, and wall decorations here, so as to facilitate the space division of private rooms and private seats.

In addition, many teachers and students from the two art academies in Beijing, no matter the Department of Sculpture or the Department of Mural Painting, were also invited by Ning Weimin.

According to the specific layout of the restaurant, the Sculpture Department will create some ingenious and aesthetic works at some corners and turning points of the walls to increase the local decorative effect.

The task of the Mural Painting Department is the most difficult.

They will reprint the picture books of Rong Baozhai's "Emperor Qianlong's Fun in the Palace", "Hongli Ancient Costumes", "Qianlong Emperor's Years", "Qianlong's Lantern Festival", try to follow the original appearance and scale Larger reproductions are on several of the main walls of the restaurant.

Even Ning Weimin negotiated with the well-known painter Huang Zhou through the Artists Association, and invited him to create a six-meter-long and three-meter-wide "Fu Lu Shou Xi Tu" at a price of [-] yuan and a designated theme.

It is planned to be placed upstairs, facing the elevator and the stairway, as the main wall for welcoming guests.

Think about it, can this reduce the number of people coming and going?
These are some major, special needs that are worth mentioning.

Such as installing ordinary lamps, curtains, boilers, ceiling fans, toilets and sanitary ware, and scattered small things are not included.

Anyway, let's put it this way, Ning Weimin's joint venture restaurant has essentially become a combination of a small art gallery and restaurant.

It is far more complicated than opening a pure restaurant and restaurant.

But it is precisely because of this that the final effect is even more exciting, isn't it?

Of course, running a restaurant must not only focus on hardware.

Therefore, in parallel with the decoration and decoration work, there is also recruitment work.

Needless to say, with the existence of service bureaus, there is no shortage of sources of employees for joint venture restaurants.

Whether it's a young cook who already has some work experience, a young worker, or a recent high school graduate.

As long as the service bureau gives an order, the catering companies and schools in the district will not cooperate.

Even Beihai Fangshan and Tingliguan have to sell the face of the district leaders.

In the same way, they had to follow the dispatch of the Municipal Service Bureau and send several senior chefs and receptionists to "teach and guide" to support the construction of the joint venture restaurant with practical actions.

But to be honest, even so, Ning Weimin still couldn't feel at ease in these two aspects.

Because the reason is very simple, although it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, but another big tree cannot grow.

There is a good old saying, "A restaurant must be served by people, it all depends on the chef in the kitchen".

Think about it, the core technology of a restaurant is based on the gift of others.

It is impossible for people not to keep a few hands, and it is certain that they will not be able to achieve transcendence only by taking pictures of cats and tigers.

So in order to be able to compete with these two veteran seniors in the future and be on an equal footing.

Ning Weimin had to find another way and try his best to get some technical advantages that these two could not compare with.

But what should we do?

The first, of course, is to choose the best from the best.

Whether fresh graduates or people transferred from other catering companies in the district.

They all have to be carefully selected, and their appearance, figure, and aura must all meet a high standard.

Correspondingly, the wages and benefits of joint venture hotels are significantly higher than those of other peers.

The second is to give benefits and win over people from Fangshan and Tingliguan.

In order to make him not hesitate to teach him, he will teach him everything.

Although Ning Weimin is not good at raising wages for those who "teach and guide" people.

But use the summer subsidy, what kind of food subsidy, transportation expenses and so on.

But it can give benefits to those who are transferred from Fangshan and Tingli Pavilion to help.

The third is to bring in your own foreign aid to compete with those from Fangshan and Tingliguan.

For example, in terms of reception services, Ning Weimin specially hired three teachers from outside.

One was the head of the flight attendant of Civil Aviation, the old acquaintance who was in charge of regular training for the girls in the fasting palace.

The other two are service staff of the Great Hall of the People.

One is the receptionist in charge of welcoming guests, and the other is the group leader in charge of meeting reception.

And Ning Weimin did this for two main reasons.

One is to prevent those who support the joint venture restaurant from thinking that they themselves are the authority.

He thought that if he left them, the restaurant would not be able to turn around.

The second is to copy the most standard state guest service to his restaurant.

It is best to let every customer who comes to the restaurant to eat can feel that the specifications here are different from the service.

As for the last aspect of cooking, it is also the most important core part of restaurant management.

Who else could Ning Weimin turn to for help?
Among the people he knew, the only one who could really be called a good cook was that one.

His landlord - "Zhang Dashao".
