The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 483
Yanhua wanted to transfer Li Shuang back to be the regional manager of the provincial capital, and transferred Shangguan Qingyuan to Suzhou to replace Li Shuang. This involved the placement of Li Shuang's husband Xiao Gao, which made her a little embarrassed for a while.

After leaving the hospital, she called Zhou Xiaomei and told about Zhang Li's retirement and wanted Li Shuang to come back. Zhou Xiaomei said it was easy to handle and she would take care of it.

In fact, Xiao Gao has long thought of not being a chef.To be honest, he is good at cooking, and his skills are good, but it is really hard to be a head chef. In comparison, he is more suitable as a head chef of a single restaurant.

Although working as a chef in Suzhou in the past few years has been uneventful, the main reason is that his wife Li Shuang is behind him to help, and he is Lao Tan's apprentice, so it goes smoothly.

To be fair and just, Lao Tan had selfish intentions in arranging him to be the head chef—to cultivate his own apprentices.

At that time, when he transferred the couple to Suzhou, what Lao Tan considered was that the couple were his apprentices, and they could do it wholeheartedly, so they could rest assured that they could entrust the Suzhou market to them.At that time, their children were young and did not go to school, so they did not consider children's issues.

Now that the child is in school, grandparents can take care of them and pick them up, but they can't help the child study. This is a big problem.The two old people have long said that they would let the couple come back and take care of the children, but it has not been realized for a long time.

Old Tan didn't know about this, but Zhou Xiaomei knew.

Li Shuang told Zhou Xiaomei that she wanted to go back to work in the provincial capital during the Chinese New Year, but Zhang Li didn't mention retirement at that time, and with Lao Tan not around, Zhou Xiaomei said that she needed to be stable now, and she would wait until later.

In addition, the transfer of regional managers is not a trivial matter, it is not as simple as changing the head chef or store manager, and it often affects the whole body.It's like changing the commander of the group army. If it's not good enough, the army commander and division commander will follow.

At the same time, it is necessary to obtain the consent of the regional boss, because it involves cooperation.

Zhou Xiaomei first talked with Li Shuang and his wife on the phone, and of course Li Shuang and Xiao Gao happily agreed.Then I communicated with Shangguan Qingyuan. Shangguan Qingyuan was willing to go, but she was afraid that she would not be able to do it well due to her lack of experience.

"It's okay. No one can do it right away. Take your time. You go to practice first, and Manager Li will take you for two months. After you get familiar with it, you will take over." Zhou Xiaomei said.

Afterwards, Zhou Xiaomei called Gu Yi and Qiao Shan respectively, told the actual situation of Li Shuang and his wife, and at the same time, told about Zhang Li's plan to retire, and introduced the situation of Shangguan Qingyuan in detail.

Both Gu Yi and Qiao Shan agreed.Gu Yi suggested that Erdun be the chef after Xiao Gao left, Zhou Xiaomei also thought so, and the matter was settled.

Afterwards, Zhou Xiaomei reported the results to Yanhua, who was very satisfied.

"Then what are the arrangements for Xiao Gao's return?" Yanhua asked.

"Don't be in a hurry. Besides, I can't come back immediately. It will take two months at the earliest. I have to wait for Shangguan Qingyuan to stabilize." Zhou Xiaomei said.

"Too---"

"Tomorrow I will go back to the provincial capital to see Sister Zhang, and then I will take Shangguan Qingyuan to Suzhou. I will stay in Suzhou for half a month before going to Changsha."

"Okay, I'll ask Huaqing to pick you up tomorrow."

Suzhou, Siheyuan.

Li Shuang and Xiao Gao came to Yaru's hut after get off work, but Yaru was not there.Seeing the lights on in Lao Tan's room, the two of them thought that Yaru must be there, so they walked over.

Yaru was washing the clothes that Lao Tan wore in summer, just after washing, she was shaking and hanging them on the clothes hanger.Seeing Li Shuang and Xiao Gao coming, he smiled and hung the hung clothes on the clothes rail.

"That's hard work." Li Shuang said with a smile.

"Arrange your master's summer clothes, wash them, and wear them well when he comes back." Yaru said.

"Do you know when he will come back?" Li Shuang asked.

Yaru's expression darkened for a moment, and he said, "I don't know—wash it first, so that you can wash it when you come back."

Xiao Gao said, "Let me hang it." He took the basin of clothes from Yaru and hung them up one by one.

Yaru wiped her hands with a towel, and sat down with Li Shuang.

"Today Xiaomei called and told Xiao Gao and me to go back. Sister Zhang was beaten by a customer and she was going to retire. I will go back to take her shift." Li Shuang said.

"Being beaten by a customer?" Yaru was startled, and quickly asked, "Is it serious?"

"It's very serious. I broke three ribs and I'm in the hospital now."

"Oh, that's serious—" Yaru asked worriedly, "Is there nothing else?"

"That's not it."

Li Shuang briefly explained how Zhang Li was injured.

"Oh, who will be the manager after you leave?" Yaru asked.

"Shangguan Qingyuan, I'll be here in two days." Li Shuang said.

"Shangguan Qingyuan?" Yaru didn't know Shangguan Qingyuan.

Li Shuang introduced Shangguan Qingyuan to Yaru, and at the same time told Yaru that Erdun would succeed Xiao Gao.Yaru said that only Erdun could succeed Xiao Gao, but other chefs could not.

Then he said: "This time you two are fine, you don't have to think about the children, you can still take care of them."

Li Shuang said: "Yes, no matter what, my mother said that she would not study at all, and she would go back to the countdown for the exam, and she would not listen to what she said."

"Parents are always not in front of me. When grandparents spoil their children, they are reluctant to scold and beat them. They listen to their children in everything. My children were like that when they were young. They can do whatever they want in front of me. They can do their homework without worrying about it. Etc. As soon as he returned to his grandma's house, it was over, he knew how to play, and didn't do his homework, his grandpa was still used to it, and there was no whole thing."

"That's not right, my child is like that now, I can't do it any more."

"When are you leaving?" Yaru asked.

"It will take two months at the earliest." Li Shuang said: "Shangguan Qingyuan has been working as a human resources officer, and has only been an office director for three months. She has never been a manager and has no experience. No matter how you come here, she will have to stay for two months."

"Okay, not bad for those two months."

"That's true—I can't help being confused, I've been in Suzhou for four years—"

Li Shuang was a little emotional, and Xiao Gao said after finishing drying the clothes, "To be exact, it was three years and four years."

Li Shuang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Isn't that four years? Why? I said four years is wrong?"

Xiao Gao hurriedly said: "Yes, it's not wrong, isn't this what you said."

"Follow it with you, let's go back after drying the clothes, Yaru and I will chat for a while."

Xiao Gao obediently left.

After Xiao Gao left, Yaru laughed and said to Li Shuang: "You, you are bullying Xiao Gao, yo."

"Huh! I haven't been to Fang Jiewa for three days. Seeing him honestly, it's because you don't know, he's a man, he's tempted, and he's really serious at critical moments. I didn't see him when he was angry—hmph, otherwise you wouldn't Possibly divorced him—

Far away.By the way, haven't you looked at your apprentice Zhao Min for the past two days? " Li Shuang asked.

"Today is the anniversary of her father's death, so I went back to visit her father's grave."

"Oh, I think she can become an apprentice now."

"It's not bad, she's smart, she learns quickly, and she works neatly." Speaking of her apprentice, Yaru showed a satisfied smile on her face.

"It's the legs that affected her." Li Shuang said regretfully.

"That's not—never again. I think she will be promising in the future. This child is scheming, and her legs and feet are not as good as hers."

"I don't think she told you that."

"Well, I treat her like a daughter and manage her strictly."

"Strict teachers produce excellent students."

"I don't dare to say if I'm a high-ranking student or not. This child's life is miserable. Poor, I don't have much ability. I can make dumplings. It's enough to keep her from starving in the future and to support herself."

Yaru said very truthfully.
