The story of a cook

Chapter 427 The restaurant can only work until the end of the year
After October [-], the restaurant began to return to a normal state and was not so busy.

The boss called me to the private room and talked with me about the hotel.There are two more months until the hotel pays the next year’s rent. The boss first negotiated a three-year contract with the landlord. Now that the three-year contract expires, the landlord told the boss that if he continues to work, he has to re-sign the contract. The previous year’s rent was 20 40, the rent will increase in the future, 40 a year, and it will increase by 45 every year.That is to say, [-] next year, [-] the year after, and so on.The boss felt a little inappropriate.

In fact, this is obvious. The landlord is watching the hotel make money, and he is going to do it himself, and wants to evict the boss.

I asked the boss what the landlord does?The boss said it was from the Public Security Bureau.

"He is planning not to ask you to do it, but to do it himself, or his relatives and friends want to do it, otherwise the rent will not be raised so much all at once, and the increase will be [-] yuan at most." I explained directly.

The boss said: "That's the thing. I want to do it myself after watching the restaurant make money."

"Then what do you plan to do?" I asked.

"It's not easy to continue, and he won't let me do it steadily." The boss said.

"The landlord is quite strong?"

"It's not so strong, it's what you say, and you can eat both black and white." The boss said.

I said, "This is up to you to make up your own mind, and no one else can make up your mind for you."

The boss said: "I know this. When he first rented his house, he also said that it may be taken back in three years. We are due at the end of January. He greeted us three months in advance and gave us time to prepare."

"It was years ago." I said.

"Yes." The boss nodded, and then asked me: "Master Tan, what do you think our house would do if we changed places? It's still the same model."

I said: "It's hard to say. Our family's model is OK, and it belongs to the money-making model. But opening a restaurant is also divided into locations. If the location is good, it's okay, but if the location is not good, it's useless. Besides, our current customers are all nearby, and the eating habits Our family is here, and they all come to our house, if they drive to other places, the customers are far away, and generally they don’t like to go, and they have to train customers again.”

"I don't think it's a problem. Besides, the rent in other places is not so expensive. The large area of ​​our house is only 20."

"That's true. The rent must be cheap, and it's not cheap. The normal price. This is the 40 you only need for the landlord's card."

"I've been thinking about it for the past two days to see if there is a suitable place." The boss said.

I asked, "Have you decided to quit this place?"

"It won't last long, quit and find a new place." The boss said: "I hope we can continue to cooperate when we build the hotel."

"Okay, no problem." I said.

The hotel can only do what it was years ago, and it seems that it is not easy to do anything.The boss has opened the restaurant for three years, with a total investment of 80 yuan. The cost may not be recovered in the first year, and the manager took it away just after the cost was recovered in the second year. It proves that he did not make a penny, and it is not worth it. Two years' rent.I made money in the third year, and I didn’t earn much after taking out the three-year rent, but it was much better than working part-time.

Now the boss is preparing to re-select the site and make a comeback.

I also have feelings after working here for a year, and I can't help him with other things. If he continues to open the store, he will continue to cooperate and help him start the store.In the past, I dare not say that I can help people build a store without that ability, but now I dare to say that I have this ability.

In the past few days, I have been going to Sister Jiang and Zheng Jiaqi's tavern after get off work every day.The renovation is nearing completion, and the kitchen staff is trying to make dishes.Xiaogao did a good job with Ten Dao of Homemade Stir-Fry, and I feel relieved after reading it.There are [-] dishes for cold dishes, six pre-mixed side dishes for guests to choose, and six freshly mixed cold dishes are mainly light.Later, the cold dishes were cooked well by the guy, and they reached the standard even after some on-site pointers that the taste was not in place.Ye Yurong doesn't have to worry about the dumplings, she can take care of them herself and do them very well.

The main concern is the smoked big bones and chicken heads and feet of breeders.

The big bone Zheng Jiaqi passed the test at one time. The chicken head and chicken feet of the breeder were made on the same day for the first time.Tell her that the chicken heads and chicken feet of breeder chickens are relatively old, and they don’t like to be cooked. They must be the same as pig’s trotters. Put them in the pot and boil for half an hour the night before, then turn off the heat and simmer overnight, reheat the next day, and smoke after heating , so that the taste is strong, and it is delicious to eat.

She made it once as I said, and this time it was more successful. Everyone said it was delicious, and said that they had never eaten such a big chicken head and feet, and it was enjoyable and exciting to eat.

The four casserole dishes were handed over to Zheng Jiaqi and the cold dishes.Zheng Jiaqi prepares four casserole dishes every day after smoking, and she is in charge of selling the food at the stall when it is time to eat, and is also responsible for making casserole dishes together with cold dishes.

The four casserole dishes are "Grandma Hot Pot", "Frozen Tofu Pork Belly with Sauerkraut", "Appetizer Sour Soup Beef", and "Hometown Stewed Tofu". Each dish has strict ingredients and production standards, and its own soup is prepared .Before the opening of the market, the preliminary preparations for the dishes are done. All the raw materials are placed in the casserole according to the proportion and order. One dish is placed in five portions, one portion is placed on the clay pot, and the remaining four portions are placed on the open shelf.When serving guests, add the soup to the casserole and start heating it on the clay pot.When the guests see the casserole gurgling on the clay pot and still smelling fragrant, they must order it.Serve immediately after ordering, then add the second portion and add the broth to heat.

In this way, the stall of the claypot stove is very atmospheric and lively.

The entire Ming file is arranged like this from left to right.First is the cold dish stall, then the claypot casserole stall, then the smoked flavor stall, and finally the dumpling stall.The entire stall is very bright and semi-open, and it is convenient for customers to order food, and they can see how the casserole is made and the dumplings are made.Ye Yurong has a good image and is tall. It is a sight to roll out dumplings with both hands while facing the case.

The most beautiful scenery in the future is Zheng Jiaqi, and she will continue to "smoke the imperial concubine".

All the tableware in the tavern is custom-made, with the words "sisters" printed on the sides of the plates and bowls, and there are also red stick figures of a pair of sisters' heads, which are very eye-catching.

All employees in the store wear custom-made work clothes, orange red, with a golden store name and store logo printed on the chest, sun hats on their heads, and black step aprons around their waists, giving people a festive, clean and homely atmosphere.

The whole tavern gives people a very good feeling. It looks like a place to drink and chat, and when you look at the door, you have the desire to go in and have a taste.

Sister Jiang and Zheng Jiaqi have worked hard, and they decided to take the tavern as a career.

This is the first model store for the two of them.

Before the opening, Sister Jiang invited a few tables of friends over to taste the dishes. After eating, her friends agreed that it would be a tavern if they had a meal in the future, and the food was better than a big restaurant.They were interested in the big chicken feet and big chicken heads. They said that they had never eaten such a big chicken head and chicken feet, and the chicken feet had necks. They rushed to eat big goose meat, even more delicious than big goose meat.

Sister Jiang's brother-in-law is the leader of the Mining Bureau, and he also brought friends to taste it. After tasting it, he gave the evaluation that the environment is clean, the smoke is long, the dumplings are delicious, and the phoenix is ​​sunny.

The tavern opened without knowing it.

From the reception of the first customer entering the store to the end of a week, the seven-day period gradually increased from the initial 400 yuan to 2000 yuan, and there is still an upward trend.Sister Jiang and Zheng Jiaqi didn’t just focus on earning money and working hard, they gave them a trick, which is also the trick of Santaizi Fuguoji. Every night at [-] o’clock, a sign is placed outside the store door, which reads "The customers are full, welcome Come tomorrow morning!"

Not long after this brand came out, it has formed an influence in Fuxin's catering circle. It is said that there is a "Sister's Smoked Bistro" on the street of the Mining Bureau. "Full" sign, I didn't even have a seat when I went late, so I had to wait until tomorrow.

Many people didn't believe it, saying that there is such a hotel?Let's go and have a look.Just this "go and see" indirectly raised the reputation of the tavern, and there was an endless stream of diners, reaching the level of "full customers" every day.The guests who come here have a special liking for the big chicken feet and Danfeng Chaoyang. First, they have never seen such a big chicken head and chicken feet. Second, they are really delicious, so the chicken head and chicken feet are sold out early every day.The big bones are also very popular, with a limit of eight pots per day, and they are sold out at noon. If you want to eat, you really have to come early, and some even call to make an appointment.

In half a month, the tavern became famous, and the number of customers who came to eat continued unabated. They all came here for the big chicken feet and big chicken heads, and some just came to see it and admire the name.

The bistro was a complete success.

Sister Jiang and Zheng Jiaqi enjoyed the joy brought by the success of the tavern, and they worked harder and harder.The boss here was caught in a tangle, looking for a house outside but couldn't find it, all the good places were taken up, and he didn't find the rest of the bad places.To make matters worse, the landlord directly told him not to rent out the house, and would take it back at the end of the year.And tell the boss to take away the tables, chairs, benches and kitchen equipment after the New Year.

Seeing the boss's troubles, I told him that there is no need to open a big store, as long as the location is better, it will be fine, and you can make money by opening a four or five hundred square meters, no less than a big store.The boss said that he would look again, if there is a store of four or five hundred square meters, it will be fine.

I know why the boss is in a hurry. The landlord won’t let him do it after the Chinese New Year. If he doesn’t find a house before the year, he has no place to put his equipment, tables, chairs and benches. Something is definitely in the way.It is impossible to get the boss not to use these things, it all comes from money.If you find a place to open a restaurant, all these can be used, and you can save a lot of money.In addition to this incident, the hotel has just started to improve and is well-known in Fuxin's catering industry. The landlord will not let him continue to work. Seeing that the money cannot be earned, the three years of hard work have been for nothing, and I feel angry.

When I first signed the contract, I signed it for three years. It’s normal for people not to rent it to you when the contract expires. Who told you not to sign it for five or eight years at the beginning, and regretting it now is useless. alright.

There are those who sell poison in the world, but no one who sells regret medicine.

For such a large store as the boss, he should have signed a lease contract of more than five years at the beginning of the negotiation.

So far, the boss and I know that the restaurant will stop working until the end of the year, and no one else knows.Employees should not be allowed to know about this, otherwise they will panic and lose their motivation to work.

The restaurant is closed at the end of the year, just to go home for the New Year.The boss found that the hotel couldn't finish the decoration years ago. It's winter and it's not easy to do the decoration. It will be finished in the next month at the earliest.At that time, we will continue to cooperate with the salary unchanged, and we don't have to go out to find work.If the boss doesn't find a good place to work as a restaurant, he will have to look for a new job after the Chinese New Year.

When can I find a stable job?It's okay to work for three years at once.It doesn't matter if you work in one place for three years steadily, with a lower salary. Only in that way can you save money.If the sum is the same as it is now, if you finish working in one place for a year, you will have to spend one or two months looking for work, and the little money you earn will be useless.

When looking for a job again, you must find a stable place. No matter how you say it, you have to work for more than three years.

When I am planning for work, there is another person who is planning for work, and he is the head chef.

That night after get off work, the head chef asked me for a drink. I said I would go to the tavern to have a look. He said he wanted to ask me for a drink to save face.Seeing what he said, I agreed to come down, and went to the dumpling restaurant with him.

There was another person in the dumpling restaurant, in his fifties, with an official face and a serious look.

The head chef introduced him as the landlord of the restaurant, that is, someone who works in the Public Security Bureau.I wondered how the head chef was in contact with the landlord, and they were still drinking together. It could be seen that the landlord of the hotel was waiting for him.

It turned out that the landlord was going to open a restaurant by himself after the Chinese New Year. He didn't do it directly, but asked his brother-in-law to do it.I still wanted to open the current restaurant model, so I found the head chef and asked the chef to follow him after the Chinese New Year.The landlord feels that the food in the restaurant is delicious now, and the smoked flavor and dumplings are all special. The head chef prepared it all by himself, and plans to keep the head chef, so that the restaurant can continue the way it used to be.It is estimated that the conditions given when talking with the head chef were very high, and the head chef agreed.Then the head chef told the landlord what I was like, and asked the landlord to keep me, so there was this meeting.

To be honest, I am very disgusted with the landlord looking at the business of the hotel and wanting to continue renting the hotel to the owner and doing this by himself. I personally feel that the landlord is doing this unethically.He directly rejected his kindness, and told him that he had agreed to the boss and was ready to continue to cooperate with the boss.If the boss doesn't open a restaurant, I will go back to the provincial capital to develop.

The landlord said you should think about it again, the salary is not a problem.I smiled and said it was not a question of salary.

It's not a question of salary, it's a question of being a human being.

It was impossible to agree to him, not even the landlord.
