The story of a cook

Chapter 591 Three women in one play
Since Mr. Wang was transferred to the office, his work has been going smoothly, as if he has found his own position, especially the front desk operation, which is still his specialty.When a person finds his position, he will devote himself to his work and give full play to his abilities.

After Manager Chen was transferred to the office, the two cooperated very well.He has worked with Manager Chen for a long time and has a good impression. Although he had a short period of intimacy with Manager Chen, he stopped after his wife's disturbance.

He now has four managers under him, Zhou Xiaomei, Li Shuang, Cao Xiaojuan, and Manager Meng.What he admires the most are Zhou Xiaomei and Li Shuang, both of them have excellent working ability and working attitude, they have a good image and temperament, and they are qualified managers.Especially Zhou Xiaomei, who is unique in marketing, the new store is thriving under her management.

Cao Xiaojuan has not been in office for a long time, and she is enthusiastic about her salary, but her ability needs to be improved.Manager Meng is an old manager of the company, with old qualifications and working ability, but in terms of management, he still adopts traditional management methods, which are somewhat outdated.She was a celebrity when the old man was in power, so she dared to show her temper because of the support of the old man.

Now she is no longer the boss among the four managers, and she should kill her vigor, otherwise she really doesn't take herself as the director of operations seriously.Mr. Wang thought so, and wanted to talk to Manager Meng when he had time, and told her to put down her airs, change her working methods, and focus on the management of coarse grains.

Manager Meng is a smart woman. As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are the best. She knows that Yan Li is now in power, and the old man has completely withdrawn from the political arena. , Listen to Yan Li, don't go against it like last time.Last time, Yan Li didn't care about her because of the old man's face. If it happened again, she would have to be laid off.

In addition, after returning from the inspection, she felt a sense of crisis.Before going out, I thought my management was pretty good, and I didn't agree with anyone among the four managers of the company.After going out, I found that I was far from those excellent managers. In front of them, I was just a primary school student, like HD toddler.This also made her understand why Manager Chen readily agreed not to be the manager of the old store. The current front desk management is different from before, and the traditional management methods have long been useless.

She was still dissatisfied with Zhou Xiaomei and Li Shuang before, but now she is a bit convinced. They are indeed stronger than her. She is the weakest of the four managers. She feels that she is not even as good as Cao Xiaojuan, at least they are younger than her.

Once the sense of crisis arises, she can't wait to grab a life-saving straw, and she sets her sights on the company's top management.She captured Mr. Wang with her unique woman's keen sense of smell.

Now there are four executives in the company, Yan Li, Mr. Wang, Lao Tan, and Manager Chen.Yan Li is the general manager, so she should be the best match, but she is a woman. Manager Meng understands the principle that opposites attract and same sex repels. She dare not get too close to Yan Li, fearing that one day Yan Li will reject herself.Neither can Manager Chen. When they were both managers back then, they were competitors, and they often fought openly and secretly. Now it would be nice if Manager Chen didn't let her wear shoes.

Mr. Wang and Lao Tan are left. It stands to reason that Lao Tan is powerful now and is in full swing in the company. Except for her, the rest of the four managers are not Lao Tan, but she dare not look for Lao Tan. Probably useless to Lao Tan.This is a woman's intuition, and she trusts her intuition to be right.

She thinks that Wang is always the best candidate, directly responsible for the front desk operations, and her immediate boss, who has a good relationship with him, can better keep her position.And knowing that Mr. Wang and Manager Chen had an affair for a while, then he can hang out with this man.

Mr. Wang is not a womanizer.He and his daughter-in-law are middle-aged pure friendship, plus his daughter-in-law is tough, and her natal family is powerful. He belongs to the guy who has no status in the family. He has the right to participate but not the right to speak. If he behaves badly, he will invite domestic violence.

Once a man is in a miserable world at home, he hopes that there is a woman outside who understands and cares about himself, so that the long-term oppressed soul can be gently comforted by a woman, and the man's self-esteem can be regained.

After the regular meeting, Manager Meng found an appropriate time, talked with Mr. Wang about work for a while, and then politely said that he would go out to sit in the evening, drink some wine, and relax.Mr. Wang just wanted to talk to her, so he agreed.After Manager Meng left, Mr. Wang felt that it was not good for him to be alone with Manager Meng, so he planned to bring Lao Tan with him, so he went into Lao Tan's office.

"Old Tan, go drink at night with Manager Meng."

"No, there will be a game tonight, someday." I said.

Stewed rabbit at night, Zhou Xiaomei and Li Shuang came over to eat.

"With whom?" he asked.

"Li Shuang and Zhou Xiaomei are hungry, come and eat rabbits." I said.

"You can do it now, there will always be beautiful women with you."

"Envy me, the main thing is that I'm ugly and I have no sense of danger." Then he said to him: "You drink and go back early, or your wife will come to you again, be careful, Manager Meng is different from Manager Chen, they are too purposeful. powerful."

"It's nothing, just drink some wine and chat."

"A lot of things come out of drinking. Stay away from alcohol and cherish life."

Between a man and a woman, sometimes a drink is all that matters.

When I came out of the office, I happened to run into Manager Chen.

"Old Tan, I just came back from the old shop. I watched Zhang Zhicheng stew the rabbit. I said it was yours. Is there a game tonight?" She asked.

"There is a game, let's go? Take one with you." I said.

"Who?"

"Li Shuang and Zhou Xiaomei."

"Go, call me after get off work." After she finished talking, she remembered something, and asked, "The November report is out, do you want to see it?"

Went to her office to look at the report.The sales of the old store in November were 120 million, coarse grains 130 million, Fisherman's Wharf 130 million, and the new store 200 million.A total of 580 million were sold.The comprehensive gross profit is 50.00% and the net profit rate is 20.00%.Already quite impressive.

"It's not bad to sell it in November, I'm satisfied." I said.

"Not only you are satisfied, but everyone is also satisfied." Manager Chen said.

"What did Mr. Yan say?" I asked.

"Boss Yan didn't come today, he might have fought with her husband again," she said.

"Is that so? If you have nothing to do, do whatever you want, just take it easy."

"A rich man's pastime."

I looked at her and found that this sentence was quite philosophical.People without money work hard for money every day and have no time to fight. Rich people don't worry about money, but they have time to fight for high-level entertainment.

Manager Chen revealed a piece of news that Yan Li's husband might be involved in the management of the company.Yan Li's husband's face - the image of the son-in-law could not help appearing in front of his eyes, and there was a hint of sinister.I thought that if he participated in the management, the world would be in chaos.

I chatted with Manager Chen for a few more words. I checked that it was just seven o'clock, and I was going to visit Fisherman's Wharf. Manager Chen said that she would also go.When we arrived, we were busy, she and Li Shuang greeted the guests together, and I went into the kitchen.

Everyone was busy cooking. Seeing the itching of the stove, they replaced a master of Northeast cuisine and went up to fry for half an hour to enjoy themselves.The chef who was replaced by me after work said: "Master Tan, it is strictly forbidden for you to cook. When I fry the ground vegetables, I just put the ground vegetables into the water and press them with a colander. You squeeze them with your hands to drain the water inside." Dried, it is indeed more delicious than my fried one.”

I said: "The ground vegetables must be fried dry, and the eggs must be fried old, so the effect is good. Stir-frying can't be fooled. If you fool it for a while, it will fool you for a lifetime. Remember, stir-frying must not be sloppy, and it must not be fooled. Look at the inconspicuous little details that often determine the big things. It doesn’t matter if the dishes are fried, they must be delicious, and the guests will give them a thumbs up after they finish eating. This is the cook, or the housewife.”

"Sometimes there are too many dishes, and when I press down on the back, I feel anxious when I see those dishes, and I just want to put the dishes up, so I don't pay much attention to details." He said.

"You don't pay attention but the guests pay attention. He doesn't care if you are busy or how many dishes you put behind you. When people spend money, they have to eat and drink well. The same is true when we go to restaurants, even if the dishes are not delicious. I’m angry.” I continued, “No matter how many dishes are placed behind me, I have to fry them one by one. I am in a hurry to solve the problem, and sometimes I make mistakes in my busy schedule. I have a good heart and want to put the dishes on quickly. Once a dish goes wrong It’s all in vain, re-doing is not only a waste of time, but also a waste of raw materials. Don’t worry, fry slowly, fry one by one, without pressing vegetables. Stir-frying is also a practice, and everything will be fine after practice.”

"Been taught a lesson."

There are several chefs around me, and they all love to listen to my cooking.I also have a problem with this person. I can’t talk about other things. I can’t stop the brakes when I talk about dishes.Although it can't reach the level of saliva flying, it is still dancing.

"Boss, don't you like the greenness of the recently pickled Laba garlic?" Hao Guangsheng asked.

"It's winter and the temperature is low. When marinating, heat the vinegar and marinate. Seal it overnight and it will turn green." I said.

He slapped his forehead with his hand and suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "This is stupid."

I said, "I see that you were not good at chemistry when you were in school."

"I didn't learn chemistry at all, and I skipped classes."

"You are better than me, you skipped class and escaped to be a chef." I laughed.

I was about to chat with them for a while, when Manager Chen came over and called me, seeing that it was already nine o'clock, and the rabbit hadn't been picked up yet, so I hurried out of the kitchen and Manager Chen went to the old shop to get the stewed rabbit back to the apartment.Li Shuang bought the crab roe and conch, steamed the crab roe, fried the conch in salt water, and fried two more dishes. Li Shuang and Zhou Xiaomei also arrived after they were finished.

Zhou Xiaomei took out the down jacket and asked me to try it on. It fit me well after I put it on, so I said thank you to her.

"Be polite to me, thinking about going home and asking my aunt to reimburse me." She said.

Manager Chen said: "It's good to have a niece, I know how to love her uncle." Then he said to Zhou Xiaomei: "I didn't say anything to buy me, I will become your old aunt soon."

Zhou Xiaomei said: "I know, Sister Chen, I don't see rabbits or hawks, if you have the ability, don't leave today, stay here."

"I'll live here, I'm afraid Lao Tan won't dare, but I'm willing anyway."

"Boss, take down Sister Chen tonight, I support you!" Li Shuang watched the excitement without thinking it was a big deal.

It is said that three women play a drama, which is true.

At this time, Mr. Wang and Manager Meng were eating hot pot in a booth of Deshunlou Hot Pot Restaurant, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.

"Didn't you say your name is Lao Tan? Why didn't he come?" Manager Meng asked.

"He has a game, Li Shuang and Zhou Xiaomei will go to him." Mr. Wang said.

"Oh, I thought Li Shuang couldn't come back, why did he come back?"

"Come back after finishing the family affairs."

"Do you know what happened to her house?"

"I don't know, I didn't ask."

Manager Meng panicked when he thought of Lao Tan. Without him, Zhou Xiaomei, Li Shuang, and Cao Xiaojuan would not exist, and she would not have such an oppressive sense of crisis.Especially when this old Tan came to Binhai for the first time, he was just an inconspicuous chef, but now he has become a director, with a higher position and higher salary than himself.

Of course, all this cannot be shown.This smart and beautiful woman picked up the cup and touched Mr. Wang, looked at Mr. Wang tenderly and said softly: "Now the three managers of the four stores belong to Lao Tan, and I am the only one who is not. I am a bit lonely and lonely. But them."

Mr. Wang smiled and said, "Doing work is not about forming gangs."

"Old Tan brought a lot of people, and now he is the most powerful."

"Old Tan spelled it out."

Seeing that Mr. Wang was talking to Lao Tan, Manager Meng smiled lightly and said, "Yes, you have done a lot of work, and I admire you."

Mr. Wang said: "I can't do it, I'm not as dedicated as Lao Tan."

"I think Mr. Yan appreciates Lao Tan."

"Can a competent general not appreciate it?"

"Old Tan is indeed talented, capable, and dedicated." Manager Meng smiled at Mr. Wang, and said affectionately, "Actually, you can do it too, just don't show yourself."

Mr. Wang was a little dissatisfied when he heard that Manager Meng praised Lao Tan, but he was a little proud and proud when he heard that he was good at it. It's not impossible, it's just that I don't want to show it.A little bit of a feeling of finding a confidant.

He was still reserved, and said: "Old Tan people are very particular. We have been together for a long time and have a good relationship. He can do whatever he wants."

Manager Meng smiled, and said softly: "I can see that you have a good relationship with him. You two are the front desk and the back chef, and you are Mr. Yan's right-hand man."

"You can do it too, our old manager."

"I can't do it. Zhou Xiaomei is far behind, so I have to learn from him."

Mr. Wang didn't continue talking, thinking to himself why he always talked about this when going out to drink with her.
