Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 418 Announcement of Appointments
However, what Yao Guofa didn't expect was that Liu Hongchang took his place and was appointed as the director of the second state-run canteen.

Although the director of the canteen is not considered a national cadre, but only a service worker, the salary of the director of the canteen is a second-level salary. The monthly salary is 80.5 yuan, which is a full 17 yuan more than Liu Hongchang’s current fourth-level salary. The salary of the previous apprentice.

What's more, as the director of the cafeteria, he can settle all matters in the cafeteria with one word, and if he does it well, he can make a lot of money.

In contrast, although he has been promoted this time, his salary has also increased a little, and he enjoys the treatment of 18th-level sub-subjects, and can get 87.5 yuan a month.

But without those oils and waters, it is still a bit of a disadvantage for the time being. It depends on whether there are opportunities and means to make money from them after taking office.

However, even if he fails to make money in the future, he will not give up this opportunity to be promoted. Once he becomes a national cadre, not only will his face be more glorious, but his future life will also be guaranteed. He no longer has to worry about the closure of the cafeteria. You don't have to worry about losing your job anymore.

"Hong Chang, regarding your appointment notice, the superior has handed it over to me. This matter should have been announced in public yesterday, but considering that you haven't come back, I will delay it for now. Now let's go Everyone is called together, and then this matter is announced, what do you think?"

"Okay! Brother, I listen to you."

Liu Hongchang smiled and nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, he followed Yao Guofa out of the office and walked towards the cafeteria.

Yao Guofa walked into the restaurant with high spirits, and asked Li Xiaoyan, who was mopping the floor, to call all the cafeteria staff over.

Not long after, all the employees of the second state-owned canteen gathered in the restaurant and lined up in two rows, even Master Chen, who was watching the gate, was not absent.

Facing everyone's suspicious gazes, Yao Guofa straightened his expression and said loudly, "We have gathered everyone together today because we have a very important matter to announce to you."

As he spoke, he slowly opened the appointment document in his hand, with a smile in his eyes, and said in a solemn voice: "The notice of appointment, as decided by the Party Committee of Ningzhou Catering Service Company, now appoints Comrade Yao Guofa of the State-owned Second Canteen of Ningzhou City as the Director of the Organization Department of Ningzhou Catering Service Company."

Hearing the news, everyone stared at Yao Guofa with wide eyes, all of them were shocked by the news.

"Crack, crack, crack~"

Liu Hongchang looked at the dazed look of the crowd, smiled slightly, and took the lead in applauding.

Hearing the applause, everyone finally came to their senses and applauded along with them.

"Director, this is a great thing!"

"Director, you've done it!"

"Director, great joy! Do you want to set up a few tables in our cafeteria to celebrate?"

"director."

"Stop, stop, all of you, be quiet, I haven't finished talking yet!"

Yao Guofa shouted with a red face.

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Yao Guofa curiously.

"Cough cough!"

Yao Guofa cleared his throat, took a look at Liu Hongchang, and said loudly: "Appointment notice, through the resolution of the party committee of Ningzhou Catering Service Company, Comrade Liu Hongchang of Ningzhou State-owned No. [-] Canteen is now appointed as the canteen director of Ningzhou No. [-] State-owned Canteen. "

After the words fell, everyone opened their mouths and looked at Liu Hongchang in amazement.

Afterwards, some people with more flexible minds immediately thought of the matter of entertaining the distinguished guests before, and suddenly felt a sudden in their hearts.

"Now, I would like to invite Director Liu from our second canteen to speak to everyone!"

"Crack, crack, crack~"

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Yao Guofa smiled and praised Liu Hongchang, then stepped aside to stand and applaud.

He is going to leave now, there is no need to occupy the latrine, and there is no need to show off. It is better to sell Liu Hongchang's face and deepen the relationship between the brothers and sisters, so that Liu Hongchang can help him in the future.

When everyone came back to their senses, complex expressions appeared on their faces, especially Su Hou, who couldn't restrain a trace of jealousy in his eyes.

However, they soon followed with a burst of warm applause.

On the one hand, it was because Liu Hongchang was their own person, which was much better than sending an outsider to be the director. On the other hand, it was also because Liu Hongchang had amazing cooking skills, which were really inferior to others, so they had to be convinced.

"Thank you, thank you everyone."

Liu Hongchang bowed with a smile, then straightened his expression, and continued: "First of all, I would like to thank the superiors for their trust in me. In order to live up to the superiors and everyone's expectations of me, I will definitely work hard to do my job well. , lead our second canteen to another level."

"In the future, if there is anything I don't do well, please forgive me."

"In addition, everyone knows what kind of person I am, Liu Hongchang. Don't worry that I will change after I become the director of the cafeteria. We are what we are, and we will continue to do so in the future!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Yao Guofa, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, I'm done talking, do you think there is anything else to add?"

"Okay, if it's nothing else, everyone will leave first. Tonight, I will pay Hong Chang to cook and set up a few tables in our cafeteria. Remember not to leave after get off work."

Yao Guofa nodded and said with a smile.

"That's daring!"

"Great, can I order something?"

"I want to eat twice-cooked pork!"

"."

When everyone heard Yao Guofa's words, their eyes lit up suddenly, and they shouted excitedly.

Although they work in the cafeteria, they don't get meat every day, and sometimes they have to rush to buy the bones after scraping the meat in the cafeteria.

This time, after finally getting the chance, they didn't want to be polite to Yao Guo.

Anyway, after eating this meal, Yao Guofa is going to leave.

Yao Guofa's face darkened suddenly when he heard the names of the hard dishes, and then he hurriedly dragged Liu Hongchang back to the office. While discussing which dishes to serve in the evening, he introduced Liu Hongchang's job as the director of the canteen.

After more than an hour, Liu Hongchang got acquainted with the work of the director of the canteen, and then took the menu set by Yao Guofa to the warehouse to check the relevant ingredients.

If it is not enough, you have to arrange people to go out to purchase.

In this era, state-run restaurants and canteens have the right to purchase independently. They only need to prepare accounts every month for their superiors to check, and submit the monthly surplus.

To put it simply, the cafeteria will collect money and various tickets from customers, and then use the money and tickets to purchase ingredients, forming a virtuous circle.

Of course, there are some tickets that cannot be collected from customers, so you have to apply to the superior department when you hand over the surplus.

Such as kitchen knives, rags, pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, gas, etc.

And all of this requires the director of the canteen to manage and arrange.

Although these tasks are somewhat trivial and complicated, but because they can purchase independently, they can also get a lot of money in it.

Perhaps Yao Guofa really regarded Liu Hongchang as his own, and when handing over the work, he also mentioned a few tricks about it.

However, Liu Hongchang didn't take these oils and waters to heart at all after listening to them. He could earn a hundred and eighty yuan in a month, which was not worth his troubles at all.

It's just that, although he doesn't like these oils and waters, it's quite good to win over the people below.

When the water is clear, there are no fish!

If you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse first.

If possible, he intends to share all the work at hand and all the work that can be shared by others, and only keep some uploaded work.

For example, the accounting work can be entrusted to Li Xiaoyan, who is tall, fair-skinned, and cute with a small face, which is equivalent to finding a secretary.

The purchases can be handed over to his six apprentices, the lobby restaurant can be handed over to Sister Wang, and the back kitchen can be handed over to Master Qin and Su Hou.

In this way, in the future, he only needs to guide the cooking skills of the kitchen staff, launch some signature dishes to ensure business income, and upload and issue some notices.

With a plan in mind, he immediately felt relieved, and immediately called Li Xiaoyan, Liu Zi, Sister Wang, Master Qin, and Su Hou to the warehouse for a conversation, and told him his plan.

On the premise that he promised to get them something nice every month in the future, they agreed without much thought.

Moreover, even if they want to object, it's useless, as long as they don't want Liu Hongchang to be used as a target of Liwei, then they have to be obedient.

After arranging the work at hand, he then worked with Master Qin and Su Hou to formulate the signature dishes of the second state-run canteen, and made a training plan according to the difficulty of the dishes.

He plans to let Master Qin and Su Hou master the cooking techniques of signature dishes within a week, and then he can relax and enjoy life.

A busy day passed quickly.

At around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Su Hou walked up to Liu Hongchang with a smile on his face and asked in a low voice, "Well, Director Liu, you see that you have become a director now, do you still make this bowl?"

"Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, but I'm afraid that if this matter spreads out, it will have a bad effect on you!"

Liu Hongchang frowned, stretched out his hand and patted Su Hou on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Su Hou, you have a heart, it's really not good for me to go out and make bowls for others now."

"In this way, you don't have to give me the bowls in the future. You gave me the two bowls before, and I will return them to you next time."

"No, no, look at what you said, I can't ask you to pay it back! As long as you don't ask me to go out to make bowls, I will be thankful!"

Su Hou hurriedly waved his hand and said.

In fact, he was also worried that Liu Hongchang would turn things over with him, so he specifically talked to Liu Hongchang about it.

He hoped that Liu Hongchang would take it for the sake of everyone going out to make bowls, and not to embarrass him with this matter.

Liu Hongchang heard what Su Hou meant, and he didn't have any opinion on it. After all, it wasn't a big deal, and he wasn't interested in cutting off people's fortunes.

Still, a knock is necessary.

"Su Hou, we are all families, and life is not easy. If you go outside to make bowls, I can ignore it in the future, but you have to pay attention to me, don't cause me any trouble. Come, or don't blame me for not showing affection."

"Hey! Don't worry! I, Su Hou, don't make bowls for people every day. I know what to do and what not to do."

Su Hou was overjoyed, and hurriedly patted his chest and said.

"Okay, then you can go to work if you have nothing to do! I will help me later, and I will teach you how to cook twice-cooked pork."

Liu Hongchang nodded and explained.

"Hey!"

Su Hou quickly agreed, then quickly turned around and went back to the side dish table to get busy.

Liu Hongchang took a look at the situation in the back kitchen, and found that there was nothing wrong, so he went to the office to help Yao Guofa pack things together, and check what he wanted to buy by the way.

Not long after, Yao Guofa packed his things, sat behind his desk, looked at the familiar environment in front of him, and said with some regret: "In the blink of an eye, I have been in our second canteen for almost 20 years!"

"Almost! Don't talk about you, brother, I have been in our second canteen for almost ten years."

Liu Hongchang smiled slightly and said with some emotion.

In this era, many people work in the same unit for most of their lives, and many even inherit their father's career. The professional term is called top class.

Moreover, such a tradition still exists in some traditional units until the 21st century.

Therefore, many people describe work as an iron rice bowl.

"Hong Chang, although I won't be in the second canteen anymore, no matter where I go, I will be your senior brother, and you will be my junior brother. We need to keep in touch more in the future. Don't break the relationship between brothers and sisters!"

Yao Guofa looked at Liu Hongchang and said sincerely.

Whether it's for Liu Hongchang's culinary skills or for the friendship he has built up in the past ten years, his words can be said to come from the heart.

"Of course, no matter where you go, I will remember you as my senior brother. If you hadn't taken care of me these years, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Liu Hongchang nodded seriously and said.

"Okay, that's good, that's good!"

Yao Guofa nodded with satisfaction and said.

Although he used to be somewhat displeased with Liu Hongchang's bad temper, but seeing Liu Hongchang being so nostalgic now, it's not in vain that he has been patient with Liu Hongchang all the time.

Moreover, most importantly, he knew that he was promoted this time thanks to Liu Hongchang's cooking skills, and he also knew that he would definitely have to trouble Liu Hongchang in the future. Seeing Liu Hongchang's friendly attitude now, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Later, he shared with Liu Hongchang his experience in managing the second canteen, and his views on the employees of the second canteen.

Although Liu Hongchang didn't care about it, he still listened seriously.

Not long after, he listened to Yao Guofa's nagging, and immediately returned to the back kitchen to take charge of cooking. He also bought a jar of ten-year-old Moutai wine from the system store as a gift to Yao Guofa.

Of course, in the end, he also got 888 happy coins from everyone in the cafeteria. Not only did he earn back the happy coins for buying wine, but he also had a lot of surplus.
