The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 29 Leave
In a blink of an eye, it is June and it is summer.

In the summer, Wanfangmen becomes lively.In the morning, there is a self-organized morning market, selling everything, mostly green vegetables, which are grown in the gardens of nearby farmers. It is green, pollution-free, pesticide-free, and chemical-fertilizer-free. Many city people come here to buy vegetables.

In addition to vegetables, there are also sellers of meat, clothes, daily necessities, and live chickens and ducks, just like a small rural market.

We will leave at [-]:[-], otherwise it will affect the traffic and the businesses on both sides of the street.

In May, the turnover of Kanto Renjia exceeded 500,000, with sales of 53 million, not including the sales of stored-value cards.This number was told by Accountant Li to Lao Tan. After hearing this number, Lao Tan was very happy and felt very fulfilled.

One hundred and 500,000 is a hurdle for people in Kanto, and it will be easy to do after breaking through.

What is the concept of one hundred and 500,000?
The attendance rate has reached 80.00%, and the meal is no longer deserted and popular.

What restaurants do is popularity, and only when they are popular can people eat.

I think at the beginning Mr. Xu said that if he broke through 500,000, he would add 1000 yuan to Lao Tan's salary. Unreliable, you can consider no longer cooperating.

So I came to Mr. Xu's office in a happy mood.

Mr. Xu sat behind the desk, smiling all over his face, and asked in a concerned tone: "I've been quite tired recently, Master Tan."

"It's okay, not too tired." Old Tan replied.

"Now it's doing well, it looks good, the team has been built, and the employees are full of enthusiasm." Mr. Xu said.

Lao Tan nodded and said, "The main reason is that the foundation was laid well before."

"Old Tan, I really admire you. The sales in May were very good, 49 million, a difference of 500,000 to [-]. Work hard and strive to reach this month." Mr. Xu smiled, harmless to humans and animals.

Lao Tan was stunned for a moment. This number is different from what the accountant said. Could it be a wrong calculation?No, it is impossible for someone to do this, and it is impossible to make a mistake.The accountant was right, so who was wrong?
Old Tan's expression was ugly, and he said to Mr. Xu: "Mr. Xu, isn't that right? Accountant Li said that it was sold for 53 million, not including the stored-value card."

Mr. Xu immediately corrected: "She made a mistake. It was actually 49 million. She included the stored-value card and added 53 million. The stored-value card is not included in the turnover."

"Oh--"

Old Tan seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but sneered in his heart, thinking that the accountant would be so stupid as to count the stored-value card into the turnover?Unless you don't want to do it anymore.53 million became 49 million, and any fool knows what's going on.

I wanted to ask the accountant to question me face-to-face, but it was useless on second thought.The question is also 49 million, and then the accountant will say sorry to himself that he made a mistake before.

Obviously being tricked!

Have the urge to curse.

But hold back.

This is obviously not a matter of 1000 yuan, but because I don't want to use myself for business.If you can't see this thing after working outside for so many years, then it's useless.

So he said coldly to Mr. Xu: "Mr. Xu, I only have this great ability, and I'm not able to sell any more. We are all gentlemen, and we know certain things clearly without saying anything. My old Tan's ability is limited. Find a good one, and I will officially resign."

As if he knew that Lao Tan would resign, Mr. Xu was not surprised at all, and still smiled and said: "Why are you leaving? No matter how hard you work, you will only be short of 500,000. If you sell to [-], you will be paid [-] more."

"Haha, Mr. Xu thinks too highly of me. I, Old Tan, know what I can do. I will naturally earn what I can earn, and don't force what I can't earn. Let's cooperate again when we have the opportunity." Old Tan said resolutely, wishing to immediately leave here.

"It's a pity." Mr. Xu felt a little regretful, and turned to say: "Over the past two months or so, Wang Gang has been brought to the same level. You can leave, let him take care of it, and see if it works. If it doesn't work, you can come back."

Old Tan laughed angrily, and said, "It's hard enough to come back, the Kanto people are not suitable for me."

Since you propose not to do it, let's get together and leave.

Lao Tan stepped forward to shake hands with Mr. Xu friendly, and then went to the finance department to settle the salary.

It all happened so suddenly that no one had time to react.

It was only when Lao Tan received his salary that he was sure that he was laid off.

He wanted to laugh, but he wasn't in the mood to smile. He squeezed the corners of his mouth, feeling a little bitter.

I couldn't help but sighed a long time, and said to myself that this was killing the donkey.

Yes, killing the donkey while unloading the grind, nakedly unloading the grind and killing the donkey.

Stand on the stairs to calm yourself down for a while, and say in your heart that you will not be angry, and it is impossible for such a boss to be uncooperative.He feels that there is nothing wrong with the business, and see, it will be back to its original shape within two months.

Let's go to the kitchen and say goodbye to the brothers.

When Lao Tan said he quit, the kitchen staff didn't realize it, thinking he was joking.Seeing Lao Tan's serious expression, he believed it, and he was a little reluctant to leave Lao Tan.

When there is a meeting, there will be separation, which is normal.No one will work in one place for a lifetime, unless the restaurant is opened by itself.

Seeing Lao Tan leaving, Wang Hong wanted to go with her. She had not been here for a month, and Lao Tan said that she would wait until she had worked for a month to get her salary before leaving.

Coming out of the kitchen, the brothers Li Xu, Yuan Hua, and Li Zhongqing, Xu Jun, Wang Shulan, Zhou Hongyou and others sent Lao Tan off.Wang Gang was not in the kitchen, and none of his apprentices came out.

Walking to the entrance of the hall, Zhang Li, Li Shuang, and Zhou Xiaomei were all there.The three of them just found out about this, and they felt a little uncomfortable.

Old Tan smiled and said to them: "Old Tan has withdrawn, and I will give you a discount for dinner later."

Zhang Li said: "It is necessary, not only discounts, but also additional food and wine."

Li Shuang said, "Boss, call me from somewhere else, and I'll go and do it with you."

Zhou Xiaomei said: "Uncle, you withdraw first, I don't plan to do it anymore, it's boring."

Old Tan said: "I withdrew mine. It has nothing to do with you. What are you going to do with Zhang Li after you leave? Are you tearing things down? Let's do it here, Wang Gang is a nice guy."

Zhou Xiaomei blushed a bit, and said, "It has nothing to do with him, and it's nothing like that, this time it's over."

Old Tan smiled and walked towards the door.

Everyone sent Lao Tan to the gate all the way, and Lao Tan waved for everyone to go back, then turned around and left.

Let's go back and look at this matter.

Kanto people did sell 53 million in May.

Mr. Xu thought a lot when he got the sales report. The shrewdness of the businessman and the nature of the small boss limited his layout, so he made a wrong decision.

He really admired Lao Tan and recognized his ability, but when considering salary, he began to plan carefully.Old Tan seven thousand, Wang Gang seven thousand, the two together add up to fourteen thousand.If you add another thousand to Lao Tan, it will be fifteen thousand, which is not a small number.

Does a kitchen need two head chefs?

Obviously not.

The current situation is that the dishes are streamlined and the profits are rising, the system is perfect and the staff rules are strict, the standards are strict and the quality is guaranteed, and the team of Wuchang landing is cohesive.

The most important thing is that business is up.

Now that the business is up, there is no need to use two head chefs.

In the past, the chaos in the kitchen was caused by people who didn’t know how to manage it. Now that they know how to manage it, the value of Lao Tan’s existence is very small.

This is a typical borrowing doctrine, which belongs to the cleverness of businessmen.

There is another reason for not using Old Tan.

He knew that Zhang Li knew Lao Tan, but he didn't expect that Li Shuang and Zhou Xiaomei also knew Lao Tan.Lao Tan is the head chef, Zhang Li is the manager, Li Shuang is the floor manager, and Zhou Xiaomei is the marketing manager. The four of them control the entire store, which is absolutely impossible.

And Lao Tan's prestige among the employees is getting higher and higher, which is what he doesn't want to see.

Also, Hu Jing privately reported that Mr. Tan accompanied the guests to drink, and he drank until he got off work, and he didn't even care about the kitchen. What kind of business is this?

Treat the hotel as your own home?You run a restaurant, and you drink when you say you want to accompany your guests, why don’t you know?
The head chef's job is in the kitchen, not the bartender.

Of course, I also know that Lao Tan has drawn many advocates.The guests from the aircraft factory and Tian Yitun all came for Lao Tan, and even the village head and secretary were his friends.

But now that the business is up and the popularity is high, it doesn't matter if they come or not.

To sum up, through system analysis, Lao Tan can be used.

Mr. Xu sent Lao Tan away like this.

This is also a reality of working in restaurants. No matter whether you are good or not, you are always facing the crisis of being laid off. Maybe you are doing well today, and it is normal to be laid off tomorrow.

Lao Tan came out of the Guandong family, looked up at the sky, the sun was shining in the sky, and the sun was shining brightly and warmly on the world.

My gloomy mood is much better now. I am an open-minded person and won't be swayed by emotions.When he walked out of the gate of the compound, he had already admitted that he was laid off, and to some extent, he was still relieved.

Tell yourself that you have been exhausted for the past two months, and you have no rest for a day, so you can just take a good rest for two days.
