The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 28 Explanation
"Our slogan is—"

Old Tan stood in front of all the staff and shouted loudly.

"Create our own future with our own hands!"

"Our attitude is—"

"I know, I do, I succeed!"

"Our style is—"

"Seriously, quickly, quickly, to ensure that the task is completed, and never make excuses!"

"All of them, stand at attention—"

"One two!" Immediately after a "shua", everyone stood at attention.

Everyone is full of energy, this is the state that a team should have.

Lao Tan said loudly: "Create our own future with our own hands. Don't think this is a slogan, tell everyone, this is an action, a real action. Everyone doesn't want to be mediocre, and don't want to live an ordinary life. .I hope I'm good, I hope I'm rich, I hope I'm successful."

"Well, who can tell me how the money comes from? How does the success come from?"

"What is a person's life? Let me tell you, two words, creation! If you add a modifier, it means creating hard. What do you use to create? It is our hands."

Lao Tan raised his hands high to show everyone, and then continued: "At first, I thought that the most painful thing in life was losing a loved one. It is the most painful when the loved ones around us leave. Loved ones are painful, but there is nothing more painful than losing a loved one, and that is losing the ability to work."

"One day when we lose the ability to work and the capital to survive, what will we use to support our families? What will we use to support our parents? What will we use to enable our children to receive a good education? What will we use to enable our lovers to live a good life. happy life?"

"Old Tan has always believed that there are no unfilial children in the world, only incompetent children. Everyone wants to be filial, and wants to earn more money to feed and dress their parents well, so that they can live a better life than others and enjoy their old age happily. But you If you have no ability, no job, and no money, how can you be filial?"

"In the past, there was an allusion of cutting meat to serve his mother. It was said that the family was poor, and the mother wanted to eat meat and had no money to buy it. The son was filial, so he cut off the meat from his leg and gave it to his mother. Yes, this is great filial piety, and my old Tan admires it."

"But let me ask, how much meat is there on a leg? Can you cut yourself twice? Wouldn't it be even more miserable to cut yourself to death one day and ask the white-haired person to send the black-haired person? Have you ever wondered why? Why can't my mother eat meat? Why can't she spend her old age peacefully? Why?"

"We all have hands. People use their hands to work hard and struggle, create their own future, and become successful people. We also have hands. Why can't we succeed? What's the difference? To be honest, nothing is bad."

"Old Tan is here to tell everyone today, don't look down on yourself, you are the person you want to be. The reason why you have not succeeded is that you are on the road to success. You are unique in this world, and the future is in your hands hands. Say loudly with me: use our hands to create our own future!"

"Create our own future with our own hands!" Everyone shouted excitedly, twice as loud as usual.

"Okay, give yourself a round of applause." Old Tan said.

"Wow—"

"Yes, there should be passion. I am 37, and I am still working hard every day. I feel that going to work is the happiest thing. Remember the old Tan's words, temporary passion cannot create wealth, lasting passion will definitely create wealth .”

"We all know that we can create the future with our hands, and that work is the most important thing. At the same time, we know that it's not being filial, but not having the ability. What should we do? Let's make ourselves stronger."

"Tell everyone that I earn a lot of money now, and it's no problem to support my family. Let me ask you, do you want to earn this money from me?" Old Tan asked loudly.

"miss you!"

"miss you!"

Some people yelled loudly, some muttered softly, and some remained silent.

Old Tan said: "Why, those who keep silent and stare at me don't want to make money?"

Everyone laughed.

"When a person loses all desire for money, I don't know what else can stimulate you. Tell everyone, I am very envious when I see you. How good the conditions are now, you may not believe it. When I first came out to work Where do you sleep every night? What kind of dormitory is there? When the guests leave at night, put a pair of chairs together and use a stool to sleep. How can you enjoy the blessings? There is a dormitory.”

"My family is in a difficult situation. If I don't come out to work, I can't earn money. I can't even talk about my daughter-in-law. When I work in a restaurant, I see that the chef earns a lot of money, one thousand a month. I'm envious. I do odd jobs and wash dishes, two hundred and three a month. At that time I want to learn to be a chef and earn 1000 yuan. At that time, no one took me, and I didn’t know anyone. I had to work hard and rush to do everything. I know that it’s not easy to learn to be a chef, but I want to To earn money, you have to suffer all kinds of hardships.”

"Let me tell you, washing dishes, picking and washing vegetables, cleaning fish, chopping chicken and chopping ribs are all mine. After the chef and the chopping board are off work, I have to clean up the stove. I have to go back every day at [-] or [-] o'clock. , just like this, I am afraid that the master will not match me. Wash the work clothes for the master, make tea, and only need to beat his legs and massage."

"After I went from odd jobs to cutting boards, I found that chefs don't make the most money. The head chef earns more than the chef. There is a chief chef above the head chef, and a director above the chief chef. After knowing this, I said to myself, Be sure to achieve the position of director. To tell everyone that I did it, it took me 15 years to go from odd job to director.”

"These 15 years summed up nine words, I know, I do, I succeed."

"I know that being a chef makes a lot of money, so I will do it. If I don't do it, I will never be a chef. I know that the highest position in a restaurant is the director, so I will do it, and finally I did it. Brothers, look at the simple nine words , like a slogan, we might as well calm down and think about it, is it really a slogan?"

"People often say that a three-year-old doll knows many things, but an 80-year-old man can't do it. Why? Just know too much and do too little. It's useless to know, you know he knows it too, see Whoever can do it can only succeed if he does it.”

"The reason is very simple, but the simpler it is, the less we pay attention, wasting energy and losing opportunities. Brothers, if you are still confused, then raise your hands in front of you and take a good look. Even if there is nothing, we still have a pair of The hands that can create the future, these hands are our greatest wealth!"

"Tell yourself that I am the best, and I will fight with both hands to create a future! Because I know, I can do it, and I can succeed!"

The entire fourth floor was very quiet, and everyone's heart was moved, as if a fire was burning in their chests.

Everyone's eyes are eager.

"Brothers and sisters, when we know this, we need to do it and do it with our own practical actions. How to do it? Be serious, fast, and fast. This is how work is. If you take it seriously, it will take you seriously. Why be serious? Because work is the capital we rely on for survival. When you are bored with work, think about what Old Tan said, the greatest pain for people is not losing their loved ones, but losing their jobs.”

"Besides serious work, you need to be quick and fast. Laziness is the biggest stumbling block in life. Why can't we be successful, no one else is as good? Finding out the root cause is nothing more than a lazy person. Some people say it's wrong, I'm not lazy, mainly because of my poor IQ, No one is smart, so if others can do it, you can’t do it yourself.”

"You said that your IQ is not good. I want to ask if others would call you a fool? You promise not to, and not only do you not want to, but you will immediately say that you are stupid. We are not stupid, and the IQ of working in a restaurant is not low. If we are too low, we can’t do it. Since we are not stupid, if we can’t do it well, then we are lazy.”

"Don't make any excuses and reasons for yourself. If there are too many excuses and reasons, you will be useless. Lies will accomplish nothing. Therefore, we must be serious, fast, and fast, and ensure that we complete the task without making excuses. Only in this way can we success!"

"What Lao Tan said today is his own personal experience, and this is how he has come over these years."

"The day I left home, I knew that there was nothing to rely on, and there was no way out. I could only rush forward. What I could rely on was my own hands. What I will do in the future, whether I can get ahead, and whether I can support my family depends entirely on them. Being a person Only when you truly understand yourself and hold your destiny in your own hands can you discover the beauty of life, God treats you well, there is no reason not to fight for a better future for him!"

"Wow—"

A round of applause.

After the applause gradually subsided, Lao Tan said: "Tonight is the first competition after we formed a team. Here, Lao Tan wishes everyone good results. We will use our serious, fast, and fast manner to ensure that the tasks are completed and we will never make excuses. , truly do what I know, I do, and I succeed! Remember, everything is created with our hands, and you are the best one!"

Lao Tan's speech made everyone's blood boil, and also solved the doubts in many people's hearts, and understood the true meaning of the slogans shouted every day.

Leading a team has to be like Lao Tan, with passion and positive energy.

Working with such a person is very exciting, and you don't have to learn bad things.

Now, not only the kitchen listens to Lao Tan, but also the front desk begins to listen to him. Although they are not directly managed, they have vaguely become the soul.

After the regular meeting, Lao Tan and Zhang Li went downstairs together. Zhang Li said: "Let me give you an opinion, and communicate with the boss frequently. The boss is willing to listen to the report. You can't do it if you don't report it. He feels that he can't control you and doesn't take him seriously. , when the time comes, even if you do a good job, you will be angry, and maybe you will be fired."

Old Tan was silent for a while, and then said: "If you drive it like that, then you can drive it, as long as you have a clear conscience."

People should not think too much about things, because those who look forward and backward will get stuck.But you can't do it arbitrarily, just set your conscience right.

In the evening, Lao Tan accompanied Wang Ming and several leaders of the aircraft factory to drink for a while.Old Tan didn't want to participate in such an occasion, and he couldn't chat with the leader, and he had to accompany the smiling face, which always felt awkward.

Every time they come to Lao Tan, they will add a hard dish. These people are not rushing to add food, but they just feel that they have face and their status is different.It's all what is said in the factory. If you answer them correctly, the source of customers will continue. Whether it's entertainment or dinner, they just say a word.

There were two section chiefs among the people who came, and Lao Tan knew one thing from their conversation-Lao Deng raised a woman outside and let his wife catch him, and he was thrown into limbo.

Lao Tan was afraid that he heard it wrong, so he asked specifically. One of the section chiefs surnamed Bai said, "Lao Deng was unlucky that day too. We ate barbecue together. Who would have thought that his wife was there too. I didn't look at it when I went. I don’t know when it came, and when we come out, block it.”

Oh, that's what happened.

Old Tan knew why Yanhua wandered the streets that night.

This silly woman, why don't you tell yourself?
I thought that the two of them had just quarreled, but if we knew it was this matter, Lao Deng must be beaten up.

The leaders didn’t drink too much, and left at [-]:[-], saying that they were going to sing in a karaoke hall next door. Wang Ming asked Lao Tan to go too. Lao Tan said that it was not good for the staff to have dinner at night, so he didn’t follow. .

Evening games and dinners will be held as normal.

The dancing competition was very intense. Not only did each team dance well, but they also joined in queue performances and team performances, which Lao Tan did not expect.

It was a great sense of accomplishment to see these, and I was also moved by the professionalism of the three captains.

After some competition, the Wolf Warriors won the championship, the Snow Leopards came second, and the Expendables came third.

After the game, the dinner party started, and it didn't end until one o'clock in the middle of the night.
