The story of a cook

Chapter 283
It was already noon when I came out with Sister Wu. Sister Wu said that she wanted to have a meal and wanted to sit down and chat with me.

I said then go to find a restaurant to have a bite, and also see what kind of restaurants are nearby.

Although I have lived in Santaizi for a long time, I haven't been to Santaizi much, so I don't know what the restaurants are like and how the consumption is.

I found a "manager's house" and went in.

There were not many guests at noon, only three or four tables, which seemed a bit deserted.I ordered two dishes, and when they came up, they tasted average, nothing special, similar to the snack department, but the dishes are large, one dish is enough for two people, it is very affordable, and the price is very cheap, the gross profit is estimated to be only Around 45%.

Sister Wu said: "This is the same as our Tiexi, the servings are quite large."

I said: "Looking at the affordable price, if you can't eat it, you can take it home and eat it."

Sister Wu said: "Nowadays, ordinary people don't have much money, so it's better to have more benefits, but they don't have much to rely on the Communist Party to eat. Most of them sign bills, and it's hard to get money."

This is the case at Shengmei Restaurant. Most of the meals are signed after the meal, and it is difficult to ask for the bill.

I said: "Yes, the unit dares to consume when eating, but it is difficult to pay the bill."

"Brother Tan, do you think this Laohan Villa is okay?" Sister Wu asked me.

"It looks like a mountain villa from the outside, it looks like that, and it feels good. When you look inside, it's not as good as a mountain villa. It needs to be more carefully decorated. It will be fine if you pretend to be the effect in the TV series. With the addition of health wine and farm meals in the villa, there will also be Errenzhuan performances every night, which should be very good." I said.

Sister Wu said: "Well, yes, now my classmates invested a total of 30 yuan, including 15 yuan in rent. I think it will cost 30 yuan if you pretend to be the effect in the TV series."

"Well, 30 yuan is not bad." I said, "I took a look, and there is almost no need to add any equipment in the kitchen, and it is enough. I just need to buy some tableware and tools when I open. I will wait to get it done." For example, especially the private rooms, you have to pretend to be the effect in the TV series, so as to attract customers."

"Yes, the hall on the first floor is okay, just add some soft bags for decoration, and the private rooms need to be well decorated." Sister Wu said.

"I don't know how to cooperate with the headquarters. Did the headquarters send people to manage it or just pay the franchise fee to manage it?" I said, "It would be better if the headquarters sent people to manage it. At least they have built a villa. If it is It’s a bit difficult for the headquarters to ignore everything after collecting the franchise fee, to put it bluntly, the name of the store is nice, and the rest is nothing, it’s no different from a social restaurant.”

Sister Wu said: "Maybe someone came to give guidance, but the decoration must meet their requirements, and if they don't meet their requirements, they can't ask you to open it. It's the first branch in the country, so it can't be ruined."

I said, "That's true. Now that Laohan Group is well-known across the country, the first branch can't be opened." Then I asked, "What about the dishes? Don't they send a chef?"

"I think we can send someone over. They cook stews in the villa very well. We can't make that taste." Sister Wu said.

I said, "Yes, the stew is very good. I heard that the chef was hired from HLJ."

"Well, I'm not very optimistic about this place. I feel that the location is a bit out of the way. I'm about to go to the countryside." Sister Wu said, "Look, talk to the person in charge of the headquarters tomorrow. If you think it's good, you can cooperate. If you don't Well, don’t cooperate, and you can be the head chef here, or she will have to find the head chef.”

I said, "Okay, I haven't worked in a restaurant like the Villa yet, so I'll give it a try."

Go home directly after eating with Sister Wu.

The location of Laohan Villa is not bad, not too far.Wanfangmen is also a newly developed place, surrounded by newly built communities, and it is the largest morning market in the Santaizi area. There are many restaurants on the left and right, and the most famous one is the Colorful Hotel.It is mainly close to the aircraft factory, which is the largest customer.

In addition, Laohan Villa is a place with a single family and a single courtyard, with a large area and its own independent parking lot. It should be said that there is a lot of room for development, and it is a good place to open a restaurant.

When I got home, Zhang Li came. This was the woman I was most afraid of seeing.

Zhang Li is a bit haggard, her face has no brilliance and energy, she wears light makeup, and has a thin grudge.

She sat on the sofa and looked at me, that look made me want to hide, I couldn't stand it.

"It's only been more than ten days since I saw you, why are you so energetic and handsome." She wanted to smile but didn't smile, and the smile she forced was uncomfortable.

"Really?" I touched my face unnaturally, and said, "It's still like that, what's so cool about it."

She said: "Isn't it handsome to be a groom?"

Do you have to be handsome to be a groom?
I smile.

She said: "You are a married person now, and I have to keep a distance from you in the future, so as not to make people think too much."

It is very practical and resentful, and I can feel the helplessness and heartache she felt when she said this.

Since when did she like me?Just leave her immediately when you find out that she likes me——
"It's not that serious." I pretended to be relaxed and said, "Why, married people can't make friends."

"I mean I can't get too close to you anymore, it will affect you, and if your wife sees you and me together one day, you two can't fight."

"No, no one will get married if it's so easy to fight."

"Maybe I have ghosts in my heart and think too much."

She smiled self-deprecatingly.

She likes me and loves me very much, and she will feel like cheating when she is with me, and she will feel guilty in her heart.

Actually me too.

"Did you go to work these days?" I asked her.

"Come on, what do you do when you're not at work, and you can feel better when you're busy at work, so I don't miss you so much." She looked at me and said, "When I think about you, I get upset, and I wish I could kill you."

"Do we have such a deep hatred? You still want to kill me." I joked.

She stared at me: "What do you say?"

"Hmph! The most annoying person right now is you—"

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you think about it. It doesn't matter if you get married or not. If you don't get married, you won't be with me. If you get married, you won't be with me. It's the same. We are still close friends, right?" She asked me.

I said, "Yes, it's still iron."

"Don't be hypocritical, it's Tie Zi, why doesn't he dare to touch me?"

she asked defiantly.

I said: "Don't dare, if you touch us, our nature will change. Isn't that good?"

"It's good, I'm thinking about it."

I said nothing and lit a cigarette.

"I don't want to work there anymore, it's boring." She said suddenly.

"Why don't you do a good job?" I asked.

"I have to go home and live every day. After work, I have to stay in the middle of the night. I don't have any cars, so I can only take a taxi. The money I earn is wasted on taxis. It's not worth it." She said.

I said, "Yes, how much is a taxi?"

She said: "It costs 24 or [-] yuan to get to our third station from West Tower, and [-] to [-] yuan for a taxi a month. What's the point of having those [-] to [-] yuan?"

I said, "That's right. The karaoke work is just like that. They are all night shifts and night shows." Then I said, "It's okay not to do it. Find a regular Chinese restaurant to do it, and get off work early."

She said: "Yes, I told Jinhua to quit. I'm going to find a job in a restaurant. It's better to be closer to home and take care of my sister. Now my sister dare not sleep at all. My house came across the door. The couple are renting a house, the man is a bit of a hooligan, he knows that I sometimes flirt with my sister when I come back late, if the weather is impatient to fight with him, scold him well."

I said: "I can't do it, and I'm angry with myself. If I can't do it, I'll beat him up. Once I beat him once, I'll be honest."

She said: "Yes, one day you beat him hard, and I will be responsible for the accident."

I laughed and said, "Nothing happened. No one can be held responsible if something happens. I have to take responsibility."

She said: "It's okay. I'll visit you in prison and bring you food and drinks. If your wife divorces you and doesn't want you, I'll wait for you."

"Can you think about me a bit." I was annoyed by her.

"No, unless you want me."

It's impossible to ask her, let's be friends.

It's good to be friends and not be embarrassed by each other.
