The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 180
Ruixue is a prosperous year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, snowflakes fell in the sky of Hohhot.At the beginning, it was fragmentary, with a little north wind.The little north wind gradually stopped, the snowflakes grew bigger, and soon the sky and the earth were completely white.

Lao Tan was woken up by the ringing of the New Year's greetings, rubbed his still drunk head, and said New Year's greetings, and answered more than a dozen in a row.

After finally calming down for a while, I went to the bathroom to urinate, wash my face, and then boiled a pot of water. When the water boiled, I made tea and prepared to drink some tea to sober up.

The phone rang again, and I picked it up without looking at the number.

"Happy Chinese New Year, Mr. Tan!" A woman's voice was familiar, but she couldn't remember it.

"Happy New Year!" Old Tan said.

"Know who I am?" the woman asked.

"The voice sounds familiar—I can't remember—" Lao Tan said apologetically.

"Hehe, I, Huang Lijuan, from Jining." The woman reminded on the phone.

Old Tan suddenly remembered, and hurriedly said: "Hello, hello!"

Huang Lijuan's New Year greetings to Lao Tan are secondary, mainly to discuss cooperation with Lao Tan.After Lao Tan left last time, she went home and talked about cooperation with her husband. The couple thought about it, and they were interested, but they couldn't confirm it.

Coincidentally, Kang Min and Huang Lijuan are high school classmates.On the first day of the Chinese New Year, Kang Min returned to Jining from Hohhot, and the two of them chatted for a while while driving past her restaurant. Seeing that her restaurant was called "Aqiao Dumpling Restaurant", they thought they had joined. Join now.Tell her to watch the Spring Festival special program launched by the gourmet column of Hushi TV station in the evening-Inner Mongolia on the Bite of the Tongue: Walking into Aqiao.

"You'll know after reading it, don't say I didn't remind you, when the time comes, we will definitely join in Jining, and you, Qiao, will have to change your name when someone joins. Hurry up, me and them The boss is familiar with it, so I can help you with a word." Kang Min spared no effort to promote Aqiao.

After listening to the words of old classmates and watching the show again in the evening, Huang Lijuan and her husband decided to cooperate with Aqiao.

Lao Tan briefly explained to Huang Lijuan some specific matters of the cooperation. Generally speaking, the partner contributed funds, and Aqiao contributed technology and management, and was responsible for the operation.The profit is three to seven, the partner is seven, and Aqiao is three.

The specific details need to sit down and discuss in detail. Aqiao has a detailed cooperation agreement here.

Huang Lijuan agreed to come and sign the agreement on the sixth day.

"Good omen." Old Tan murmured in his heart, and then picked up the phone to report to Yanhua in detail.

Yanhua was very happy and said, "Let's do it, Lao Tan. Let's do direct sales in first-tier cities, cooperate with second- and third-tier cities, grasp technology and management, don't lose shape, it will work."

"Now there is a shortage of management personnel, so we must vigorously train them." Old Tan said.

"Yes, those who lack management must combine external recruitment with internal training, and airborne troops must be used if they are suitable." Yanhua said.

"Well—let's build this first cooperative store first, and accumulate some experience. There is no rush." ​​Old Tan said.

"Don't worry, I believe in your ability, I'm sure you can do well." Yanhua smiled. This was the first time she spoke to Lao Tan in this tone, and she felt a little awkward and a bit pretentious.

"When did you learn to fool people? You are not like that." Old Tan joked.

"Hehe, I learned it in the training class. The teacher said that it motivates people." Yanhua said.

"Kind of, my blood boils right now."

Lao Tan and Yanhua finished talking on the phone, drank a cup of tea, felt better, then tidied themselves up briefly, and then went downstairs to the restaurant.

The four stores in the provincial capital were fully booked years ago from the first day to the ninth day of the new year. Judging from the booking situation, the daily turnover of each store was no less than [-]. It was another busy Spring Festival.

Yanhua, Zhang Li, Zhongqing, Li Shuang, Qin Lili, Zhang Xiangdong, and Wang Hong first gathered in the old store, and after a brief meeting, they went from store to store to give New Year greetings to employees.

The first to arrive is the Chishan store.

The employees have already had breakfast and started to prepare for the meal.

The leaders of the company came to pay New Year's greetings, and everyone was very happy. They said New Year's greetings to each other, received the happy red envelopes, and smiled.

When Yanhua came to the dumpling room, Xiaohui was adjusting the stuffing. Seeing Yanhua coming in, she hurriedly smiled and wished the New Year.

Yanhua took Xiaohui's hand and asked kindly, "Hui'er, are you getting married this year?"

Xiaohui blushed, and whispered, "I want to get married, but I don't have enough money to buy a house. Xiaolong means to buy a house before we get married."

"Did you tell his family?" Yanhua asked.

"Not yet, his parents want us to get married this year." Xiaohui said.

"That's it. I'll make the down payment for both of you, and the two of you will repay the loan yourself." Yanhua has a special feeling for Xiaohui. Although there is an element of sympathy for her, she is sincere.

"No need for Aunt Hua, we mainly want to buy a house with our own money, if that's the case, Xiaolong's parents can get the money—" Xiaohui said hastily.

Yanhua smiled, understanding what Xiaohui said, and said, "You two decide for yourself. If you need Aunt Hua's help, just tell me. You're welcome. But I'm going to get married this year, and I'm already old, so don't worry about having a baby."

"Don't worry about having a baby. I'm just 22, Aunt Hua." Xiaohui said.

After Xiaohui's mother left, the young lovers Xiaohui and Xiaolong lived together.Their love is sincere, and the author lacks vocabulary in describing love. I speak from my heart, and only blessings are the best wishes for their love.

May lovers in the world finally get married.

Leaving the Chishan Road store and arriving at the Huangshan Road store, the friends Li Shuang and Hua Qing inevitably had a fight when they met, which made everyone laugh.

Also in the dumpling room, Wang Hong and his apprentice Meng Meng chatted together.

"Master, I'll leave after the ninth day of the ninth day." Meng Meng said that she had already decided to go to Hohhot.

"Aren't you going home to take a look?" Wang Hong asked.

"No, I went back years ago, stayed for five days, and told my parents, and they agreed for me to go." Meng Meng said.

"Go ahead, have a good time with your Aunt Yaru when you arrive, and call if you need anything." Wang Hong instructed.

"Well, I'll call you when I get there," Meng Meng said.

What else did Wang Hong want to say, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything. Looking at the apprentice's immature face, she felt that the child had grown up and matured. There are some things that need not be told. No one knows what the future will be like. You need to experience it yourself to know Answer.

Some things are taught and some are not.

People grow up slowly through experiences again and again. If you don't experience wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow.

The seven people came out of the Chishan Road store and went directly to the Taishan Road store.

It has been five months since the Taishan Road store opened, and the monthly turnover is between 65 and [-] yuan, which is already high for a store of more than [-] square meters.

The store manager is the foreman brought out by Li Shuang from the old store, named Ren Xiuyun, a very refined woman with good management skills.As the saying goes, learn from whomever you like, very similar to Li Shuang, who is a cheerful and optimistic type.

The head chef was trained by Zhongqing in the old restaurant. His name is Cheng Dajun. He is not talkative.

If it counts, Ren Xiuyun and Cheng Dajun should be Aqiao's second-generation managers.

After leaving the Taishan Road store, the group returned to the old store.

Since it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Lili was going to Zhang Xiangdong's house to pay New Year's greetings to the old man, but Yanhua told them to leave first.Wang Hong didn't need to pay New Year's greetings to anyone, and couldn't be idle, so she went to the kitchen.Li Shuang was thinking about his old battleground, the Huangshan Road store, he greeted Yanhua and Zhang Li, and drove over.

Zhang Li and Yanhua were left in the office.

Zhang Li spent the New Year with the employees at the old store last night. After ten o'clock in the evening, Ren Qingyun took her to her parents' house and had a New Year's Eve dinner with her brother and sister-in-law.Zhang Li originally planned to go to her sister's house, but Ren Qingyun was enthusiastic and sincere, and came over at nine o'clock to wait, so she followed her.

Of course she knew what it meant to go to Ren Qingyun's house for a New Year's Eve dinner.To be honest, after several months of contact, Ren Qingyun gave her a good impression, and gradually accepted this man in his heart.

Of course, the acceptance didn't go to the point of living together, it just didn't bother this man and accepted the fact of continuing to communicate.

It's one thing to socialize, but it's another thing to go to someone's house for a New Year's Eve dinner.Everyone knows that once they go there, they admit the relationship between each other, just like young people meeting their parents when they fall in love, even if they are not married, they are still a family in name.

But this New Year's Eve dinner was poorly eaten.

Ren Qingyun's father is a retired veteran cadre of the aircraft factory, his brother is the current leader of the factory, and his sister-in-law is the leader of the district office, so it can be said that he is the family of officials.

Officials always look down on those who work in restaurants, perhaps because of their stereotypes, thinking that women who work in restaurants are frivolous and not serious.With this preconceived notion, it is natural to look down on Zhang Li.

Another point is that Ren Qingyun's brother is familiar with all the representatives of the garrison army, including the one who had a close relationship with Zhang Li more than ten years ago.Zhang Li didn't know Brother Ren Qingyun, but Brother Ren Qingyun recognized her at a glance.

When Brother Ren Qingyun said the name of the military representative on purpose, seemingly unintentionally, Zhang Li was suddenly stunned.

Then, brother Ren Qingyun talked about the military representative's extramarital affair like a lace news, although a few simple sentences, but they were all important points, and every sentence poked Zhang Li's heart.

Zhang Li's face became pale.

I don't know how to leave.
