The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 183

The next day, Lao Tan gave Zhou Xiaomei a day off, told her to take a good rest, and prepared to take Zhou Yujun's cousin Tong Xin to Jining.She is the reserve store manager there, let her get acquainted first.

Gu Yi and Zhou Yujun had already arrived, Lao Tan got into Gu Yi's car, Tong Xin was about to take his cousin's car, saw Mr. Wang sitting in the car, turned around and opened Gu Yi's car door, and sat with Lao Tan.

Gu Yi joked: "Why, don't you want to sit with your sister-in-law?"

"Oh, I want to chat with Boss Tan for a while." Tong Xin replied.

"Don't tell your sister-in-law when you go back." Gu Yi said.

"Hey, my sister-in-law doesn't care about my brother's affairs, they have separated long ago." Tong Xin said.

"Really?" Gu Yi asked.

"Well, I've been here for two months, and I only saw my sister-in-law once—"

Old Tan saw that it was a bit gossip to continue chatting, so he made a point of talking and asked Tong Xin: "It's been almost two months, how do you feel?"

"Very good, I learned a lot." Tong Xin said.

"You used to be a receptionist, so you should be familiar with front desk work." Old Tan said.

"Well." Tong Xin nodded, and then said: "It's not the same, the unit receives all the leaders, who have prepared in advance, it's no big deal. The restaurant receives guests, temporary, and all aspects must be taken care of. "

"Mulan said that you are capable and have done a good job."

"What abilities do you have? I have done it before, and I am old, so I am not afraid and dare to speak up. I don't know management, and I don't know how to do it. I learned it after I came here. Mr. Tan, when will you train us again? You give a lecture Lively, everyone likes to listen, and practical.”

"Look, let's talk again sometime."

"I would like to listen to your lectures. You are not rigid, and you can learn to be a man without speaking vividly." Tong Xin said from the bottom of her heart.

Old Tan is very useful to be praised by beautiful women, men are a little proud to be praised by the opposite sex.

"Jining store is our first cooperative store. As the store manager, you have a heavy responsibility and you must do well." Lao Tan said.

"Mr. Tan, I don't know what to do, and I'm a little scared."

Tong Xin meets the store manager's standards in terms of appearance, image and temperament. The short board is the lack of management experience.Being able to be trained as a reserve staff and assigned to the position of store manager is mainly because Lao Tan gave Zhou Yujun a personal favor.

"It's okay, Xiaomei will come over when it opens, and she will take you for a month." Old Tan said.

Hearing that Zhou Xiaomei came over during the opening, Tong Xin gained confidence and said, "That's okay."

"Everything has to be exercised. Your brother mainly exercises you. When you are done, you can go back and help him. The restaurant is the most trained person, especially the front desk. Anyone can receive anyone, and everyone can meet anyone. They must serve well.

The service is like this, greeted with a smile, warm and thoughtful.Aggrieved in the heart and smiling on the face, it is not that relatives are better than relatives.When will the guest not only happily pay the bill, but also say thank you, OK, it will be in place. "Old Tan said.

"Yes, I have a deep understanding in the past two months." Tong Xin said emotionally: "Some customers are really unreasonable, and you are so angry that you can't help it. You can't forgive him even if you open your mouth to scold him—"

"By the way, what do you do when you encounter people who are swearing?" Gu Yi turned around and asked curiously.

"What else can I do? Just bear with it, and you can't scold people - but there are still a few who curse, and now that people are of high quality, there are not many who curse." Tong Xin said.

"What if you come across someone who is looking for trouble? There is no hair in the dish, so I put one in it, and then just don't pay the bill?" Gu Yi asked again.

"Hehe, my family has standards for dealing with this situation." Tong Xin said with a smile: "Whether the guest put it on purpose or the chef made a mistake, first apologize to the guest, and immediately redo a dish, and this dish is free of charge."

"What if the guest doesn't accept it?" Gu Yi asked, a bit like an exam.

"Greet with a smile, sincerely, earnestly, and responsibly ask the guests for their opinions: Hello brother, I am very sorry, it is our responsibility to cause you any unpleasantness due to our mistakes. I would like to apologize to you again, I am really sorry!
In order to express our apologies, here is the recipe, pick your delicious order, you will be satisfied. " Tong Xin replied very formally.

Gu Yi smiled.

Old Tan also laughed.

Arrived in Jining two hours later.

The renovation of the restaurant is coming to an end, and the entire storefront has been unveiled, and the rest is some details, which will take half a month.

From the outside, the storefront of [-] square meters is the most beautiful in the whole street. It has attracted many people's attention even before it opened. Those who know Ah Qiao are already looking forward to the opening to eat dumplings.

Before coming to Jining, Gu Yi and Zhou Yujun had already contacted the person they were looking for. Gu Yi contacted the deputy head of the district, and Zhou Yujun was looking for the instructor of the fire brigade, so they went straight to the root.

To show their sincerity, Gu Yi, Zhou Yujun, and Lao Tan drove to pick them up, and then went to a more luxurious local hotel.

There is a saying among the common people: There is nothing that cannot be solved without wine.

How should I put it, this sentence really expresses a social reality. If you want to do things, you really have to drink and give gifts.

Of course, this wine is not without benefits.People who eat people are short-mouthed, and others are short-handed. Although they can't become friends after a meal of wine, it will be convenient for them to do things later if they know each other well.

The two inspectors who came to order the renovation to stop yesterday were also invited, but they were a little confused and didn't know what Aqiao was. In the impression of the two of them, Huang Lijuan didn't have such great energy, so it was impossible for her to know the district chief and the instructor. of.

With the presence of two important figures, there was nothing unqualified, and everything was passed naturally.

Lao Tan had a few drinks with the deputy head and instructor.

With wine as a matchmaker, the emotional talk between men began after the scene talk, and they became acquainted with each other.Lao Tan introduced Tong Xin to the two leaders in a timely manner.She is the store manager and will be stationed here for a long time in the future. It is good to know the two leaders.

After all, Tong Xin has been a receptionist and has been an intern for a long time. She is very good at coming, and she had a few drinks with the two leaders warmly and generously.

At the wine table, beautiful women had the upper hand. Soon, Tong Xin and the two leaders became siblings.

Zhou Xiaomei took a late sleep and woke up at past ten o'clock. She didn't wash up and lay on the bed for a while, then picked up the phone and called home.

It was her mother who answered the phone.

First, she asked about her son's situation. Her mother said it was fine and had already sent it to Murakami Kindergarten.

"Are you willing to go? Do you want to make trouble?" Zhou Xiaomei asked worriedly.

"I didn't want to go to the kindergarten for the first two days, and I cried when I said I was going to kindergarten. It's okay for the past two days. There are many children there, and I can find whoever I want, so I can play with them." Her mother said.

"It's fine if you don't make trouble. You can learn something in kindergarten, which is better than at home. Is the food good?"

"It's okay to eat. There are several dishes in one meal. The main reason is that the children are all together during the meal, and they are all vying for it. It is better than eating at home."

"Really? That's good. Didn't you hear him miss me?" Zhou Xiaomei asked.

"I think about it every day when I go to bed, and I fall asleep after a few words of coaxing—it's okay, I'm idle and I'm idle, and I can make a living with him." Her mother said.

"It's hot now, so you don't need to wear thick clothes for him, just wear less. His spring and autumn clothes are in the blue box." Zhou Xiaomei reminded.

"I know, you don't have to worry about it, why can't I take it well?" Her mother complained.

Zhou Xiaomei smiled, said a few more words, and hung up the phone.

Knowing that his son is fine, he was in a happy mood, and after washing up, he began to tidy up the house.

She and Lao Tan lived in an apartment, on the same floor, separated by two rooms.After tidying up the house, he took the key and opened the door of Lao Tan's room, and tidied up his room as well.

It was one o'clock at noon, and I felt a little hungry, so I went downstairs and drove to the nearest Haidong store.

The meal time has passed, the kitchen is not very busy, Meng Meng is cleaning up, and a dumpling worker is kneading noodles for the afternoon.

"Sister Xiaomei, are you resting today?" Seeing Zhou Xiaomei coming in, Meng Meng greeted with a smile.

"Well, rest." Zhou Xiaomei nodded, walked closer, put her hand on Meng Meng's shoulder affectionately, and asked, "What are you eating today?"

"Today, on Monday, stew, fry saury, and shoot cucumbers." Meng Meng replied.

"Very good, saury is my favorite, eat more." Zhou Xiaomei said.

"I don't like to eat saury, it's okay to shoot cucumbers." Meng Meng said, turning around and putting the crisper in the freezer, watching the dumpling worker take out the noodles from the noodle mixer, and was about to use the noodle press machine Article, exhorted: "Pay attention to safety."

The dumpling worker agreed and started the noodle press.

"Isn't the noodles delivered by the central kitchen, why do you make them yourself?" Zhou Xiaomei asked.

"Just now I called and said that the dough mixer is broken, and it needs to be repaired." Meng Meng said.

"Oh—" Zhou Xiaomei nodded, and looked at the dumpling worker who was pressing the noodles.

The moment she looked at it, the dumpling worker let out an astonishing scream.

"what--"

The heart-piercing cry startled the whole kitchen.

Zhou Xiaomei, who was the first to react, rushed to the dumpling worker. Meng Meng immediately realized something, turned around and turned off the noodle press as quickly as possible, and the two rolling steel shafts stopped.

The dumpling worker's right hand was slowly withdrawn from the steel shaft, dripping with blood——
"Find something to wrap her hands first. My car is outside, so hurry to the hospital." Zhou Xiaomei shouted at Meng Meng.

Meng Meng regained her composure and hurriedly looked for something, but for a while she didn't know what to look for.

Wang Yanli hurriedly grabbed the towel from the chopping board, and ran over to wrap the hands of the dumpling worker.

Soon, the dumpling worker was sent to the hospital.
