The story of a cook

Chapter 569

A total of seven days of hanging bottle.

In the past few days, I have to go to work in the morning for infusion, in the afternoon for infusion, and go back to rest after the infusion.

Sister Ma bought a new quilt and sheets for her, and used the old quilt as a mattress.These few days, she has been taking care of me, tidying up the house, making it look like home.Every afternoon I go to get a bottle, and she will prepare the meal, and I can have a hot meal when I go back.

She doesn't always come at night, but when she comes, she just cleans up the house, and lies down on the bed for a while after cleaning up, telling me that it would be nice if she could sleep, and she really doesn't want to go back.I would say sleep here, you sleep on the bed and I sleep on the sofa.She said no, if you sleep here, others will pay attention to death, so why do you care about others in the future.

She is very thoughtful.

Tell me: "I am afraid of what others will say when I come here like this. Gossip kills people, and I am afraid that it will affect you."

I said: "No one can say anything, you are my sister, everyone knows."

"That's not okay. If you have a family and a job, it won't affect you well. You've been sick for the past few days. It's okay for me to come to take care of you. If you can't do it on a normal day, I have to come less." She said.

"You think too much."

"It's not that I think too much, but I have to think about it." She said, "You are already this old, why don't you want to?"

After speaking, he looked at me and smiled.

"You can't get another girl back without me, listen?" she said.

"No, I don't dare to say it again." I said.

"You are the director now, and many people are watching you. Everyone is staring at your words and deeds, but don't control yourself."

"No, don't worry."

"I said you have to take it to heart, you are not alone now, these people are all called by you, if you quit, all these people have to go."

Her words reminded me, it’s not a big deal, so far I’ve found a lot of people, and there are more than 20 people, if I don’t work here, these 20 people have to quit, I It's okay to be laid off, so why are they laid off?They have to find jobs one by one.

The pressure is a bit high.

"Although I haven't met your daughter-in-law, I think your daughter-in-law is a very good person. She works at home and has to take care of the children. It's not easy. Think about your wife when you have any ideas, and think about your son when you don't." ."she says.

I didn't say anything, and Lin Yan and her son appeared in front of me.

"Told you you had to take it to heart, listen?"

I nodded in agreement.

"You are very good, you are a good old man, many girls like you, and my sister also likes you." She blushed and continued: "But you have to control yourself, once a person loses his reputation, then There will be nothing left, and no one will listen to what you say.”

"That's it," I said.

She smiled, "Hehe, I'm actually selfish. I don't want to look at you and other women. I feel uncomfortable, as if the one I like has been snatched away by someone else. In fact, I am your sister and you are my brother. , I am happy when I see you every day, and I miss you when I don’t see you.”

I looked at her seriously and focused, her fair face was flushed with shyness.

"I know you treat me well and take care of me, but I just can't tell, actually—" I said.

"Actually what?" she asked with a smile.

"Actually—" I wanted to say that I liked her, but I changed my words, "Actually, you should find me a brother-in-law."

Her eyes dimmed for a moment, and she said instead: "Stupid, didn't I tell you, I'll think about it when Xiaohua gets married, and I don't think about it now."

I'm a little messy, habitually taking out cigarettes.

"Stop smoking, I don't know what's wrong, smoke less." She said unhappily.

Withdraw the hand that took out the cigarette.

She hugged me very naturally, and then went back.

I am very grateful to Sister Ma, who always reminds me when I want to float and tells me not to make mistakes.

In the office this day, the three of us, Yan Li and Mr. Wang, were discussing the research and development of new dishes at the end of the month.

I said, "I'm going to open a casserole stall in the new restaurant. This time, the research and development of new dishes will focus on casserole dishes. What do the two leaders think?"

Mr. Wang said: "It's good to serve casserole dishes, but our family lacks casserole dishes."

Yan Li said: "I agree with this, but I have to stand upright."

"When did Lao Tan stand at attention?" Mr. Wang laughed.

I smiled, noncommittal, and said: "This is the first time we have done research and development of new dishes after the Chinese New Year. I have a suggestion. It is a good thing for the masters to develop new dishes. We also have to give some motivation. Which masters have developed new dishes? The dish is qualified. What I mean is that we have approved it. It can be sold as a dish in four stores at the same time. Let’s set a standard, based on [-] copies. If the sales volume does not exceed [-] copies in the current month, the dish will be canceled next month. , if it exceeds [-], how about we give the chef a commission of [-] cents per dish for three consecutive months?"

"One thousand copies is 500 yuan." Yan Li said.

"The waiters at the front desk still have a commission for drinks, and it's okay to give the chef some commission for the dishes." I said.

"What do you think?" Yan Li asked Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang said: "I think it's okay, it can mobilize the enthusiasm of chefs."

Yan Li said: "Yes, yes, but what about the chefs in our family, how can we judge? Are you still looking for the judges?"

I said, "No, that's how I planned it."

"There are 52 chefs in our family. We don't have that much time to cook together, and it also delays things. This time, it will be done one by one. There are no judges. It's up to the three of us. Others don't know what dishes are suitable. Our family, the three of us promise to know. Sometimes the dishes made in large-scale competitions are very good, but it’s useless if they don’t suit our family.”

"The new dishes developed must be suitable for our family's business. For example, today the three of us are inspecting the new store, and each of the masters of the new store will cook a new dish. The three of us will taste it. After tasting, we will choose two dishes that are suitable for our family. Come, just two dishes, don’t choose one more. Whoever cooks these two dishes is responsible for the production process and standards, and at the same time teaches the masters of the other three restaurants, and then the four restaurants serve these two dishes at the same time. "

"The same is true for other stores. One family chooses two dishes, and four stores have eight dishes. That is to say, every three months, our family will launch eight new dishes, and the four stores will launch them uniformly, just like the smoked pickles and large dishes we launched. It’s the same as Hanamaki, if you don’t push it, if you push it, the four stores will act in unison, creating a sensation.” I said.

"You mean that each store chooses two dishes?" Yan Li asked.

"Yes, two households in one family." I said.

"Then what if the chefs in other stores do better, for example, the new store No.3 does better than coarse grains No.1? How do you fix it?" she asked.

I said: "That doesn't work either. Mr. Yan, I have considered this situation and I know that this situation will happen, but we have to consider the strength of the chefs of each restaurant, and at the same time take care of the issue of enthusiasm. The selection is a blow to the master. Actually, I saw that all the chefs in our family are good at cooking. They are not bad, but their personal characteristics and expertise are different. This master is good at cooking vegetables, and that master is good at cooking meat dishes. Some soup dishes are excellent, and some Xiaoliuxiaochao are excellent, if they are put together, there may be deviations, if a single store can find many excellent ones, this is what we need."

"Another point is that one restaurant selects two dishes, so that every restaurant can take care of it, and there is no way to say anything." I said.

After listening, Yan Li said: "That's okay, you are a professional in cooking, and you have the final say."

I said, "You are the boss, I have to listen to you."

"When did you become so humble?" She said, jokingly.

"In the past, when our family went out to promote new dishes, each store promoted them. The master researched a dish and thought it was very good, and then started to set up stalls for trial sale. After it sold well, we kept it. Change something else. This time, let’s unify and come up with new dishes. We encourage the masters to innovate, but they must pass our assessment before they can be used. They can’t be messed up. It’s good to prevent learning a new dish elsewhere. If it is suitable for our family to take it back, it will mess up the position we have finally settled, and it is absolutely not."

"What kind of food to serve? Serve dishes that match our family's business characteristics. Other dishes, such as Cantonese cuisine, style dishes, and dishes that are not grounded, can't be served no matter how good they are. That's not our family's food. Another point , The guests always say that your family has eaten all these dishes, can you order some new dishes? This time we have solved this problem, there are new dishes, eight dishes, all new dishes, taste it casually. This dish has been eaten in the new restaurant today, and it can still be eaten at Fisherman’s Wharf tomorrow, the taste will not change, so it can still eat guests. Isn’t it?”

"Old Tan is right." Mr. Wang said.

Yan Li nodded.

"Let me tell you how to distribute the [-] cents for the dish commission." I said, "Isn't it [-] cents? Divide it into five shares. Whoever develops this dish gets two shares, that is, [-] cents. After this dish is launched, it will be guaranteed It is made by four masters, and each master will take a portion, the chopping board for the side dishes will take one portion, and the brother who makes the lotus will get one portion. In this way, the chopping board is also willing to match, the person who makes the lotus is also willing to make it, and the maker is also willing to make it. You can put your heart into this dish. Only when you put your heart into it will the dish be the best, and it will be able to eat people.”

"This method works, I agree." Yan Li said.

"Okay, Old Tan, I found that you are amazing." Mr. Wang said.

I said, "It's not that I'm good, it's because the two leaders taught me well."

"Go—" Yan Li gave her a big white eye with her female patent.Then I thought of something and said, "One dish costs [-] cents, divided into five portions, isn't it less?"

"You are the boss, if you think you can give one piece less, I have no objection." I said.

She took out the calculator and said while calculating: "One dish is fifty cents, calculated as one thousand copies a month, 500 yuan, which is 200 percent. Whoever develops it gets two copies, 100 yuan, and the other one , [-] yuan per person. What if we sell [-] copies a month——our family has four stores, each of which sells an average of [-] copies a day.” At this point, he raised his head and said, “Fifty cents is fine, one dish a day It’s not a good dish if it sells less than ten copies.”

"You think it's OK, so I'll do it." I said.

"Do it this way, I agree," she said.

After studying the dishes, Yan Li proposed the second matter, which was to transfer Li Shuang to Fisherman's Wharf as a manager.

"I think Li Shuang is expected to be a manager, what do you two think?" she asked.

I said directly: "No, she is not suitable to be a manager."

I don't want Li Shuang to be the manager of Fisherman's Wharf. Now I have recruited a lot of people who are officials. Zhou Xiaomei is the manager of the new store, and she also has Huang Lihua and Cao Xiaojuan. It is a bit inappropriate to call Li the manager.

"Why do you say she's not suitable?" Yan Li asked.

I asked back: "Do you think she is suitable?"

"If you think it's not good, can I mention it?" She was a little annoyed.

I said, "Li Shuang came through me. I don't express my opinion on this matter."

"Mr. Wang, what do you think?" Yan Li asked Mr. Wang.

"I think she can do it." Mr. Wang said.

"Two votes to one vote, pass, that's it." Yan Li made a final decision.

I said nothing.

Yan Li said to me: "Old Tan, I know what you're thinking, don't look at me as a woman, I'm not that small-minded, you, Old Tan, are a bit out of control."

I said, "Maybe, I just don't want the man I'm looking for to be in office."

"Our family is an official based on ability." She said.

Now that it's decided, it's hard to say anything, Li Shuang can bring up a store now, she has that ability.

When I came out of the office, I went to coarse grains, old shops, and Fisherman's Wharf.I am planning to open casserole stalls in the new store, and I think these three stores can also be launched.In order to know what you know, do an on-the-spot investigation and leave a space of two meters on the open shelves of each store.All that remains is to inform the purchase and sale of clay pot stoves, and ask each kitchen to select someone who can make casserole.
