The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 534 The Conversation between Li Shuang and Hua Qing
They first talked about Lao Tan's illness, then recalled Lao Tan's various good things, and finally talked about the current situation of the hotel.

"Last two days, I participated in the Association of Hundreds of Families and Hundreds of Kitchens organized by the Culinary Association, and chatted with Chairman Liu about the future development of dumpling restaurants. They all agreed that the dumpling restaurants in the provincial capital are already saturated, and there will be a large number of yellow ones after the new year. "Yanhua said.

Zhang Li said: "You don't have to pass the new year, there are people who lose money now, and some don't last until the end of the year." Then she sighed, "Hey, it's all caused by following the trend. Seeing that the dumpling restaurant makes money, they all work as dumpling restaurants. The restaurant that was previously well-run was also changed, and the result was a vicious competition, a price war, and it killed itself.”

"On the first day of the new year, we opened five new stores this year. I think it's too much, and I can drag myself to death if I don't do it well." Yanhua said.

"Alas—" Zhang Li made a long sound, and then said in a mocking tone: "I don't know what Zhang Xiangdong and his wife are thinking. When they heard that I quit, call me and ask me to become the boss of his house." Go to the manager, I guess that head must have been kicked by a donkey."

"His family is not managed by a good person, so he has to go to the doctor in an emergency," Yanhua said.

At this time, Lao Deng said: "He soaked his feet and left by himself. Over the years, his family has often opposed our family, and many people have dug them over."

"Hehe, that's nothing." Zhang Li said with a smile.

"In fact, we should thank his family. If there is no other family, how can we show Ah Qiao's quality? Didn't you see that our family didn't even have to do marketing in the past two years? His family is our live brand advertisement, reverse publicity .” Yanhua laughed.

"But his house has also gained a lot of light from our house. Wherever there is a store in our house, there is another house. The decoration is almost the same as ours, but the name of the store is different. It is easy for customers to misjudge and enter his house as ours." Said the silent old Huang.

"That kid Zhang Xiangdong is not authentic, I see how he is doing during the Chinese New Year." Zhang Li said angrily.

"Back to before liberation." Lao Huang laughed humorously.

The family of four happily ate hot pot. Zhang Li suggested playing mahjong. Yanhua decided that the child would not play mahjong at home, and went back with Lao Deng.

The snow didn't stop until ten o'clock in the evening. In order to facilitate people's travel the next day, the city government ordered large-scale snow removal vehicles to clear the snow on the main roads at night. At the same time, all sanitation workers worked overtime until the next day. It's four o'clock in the morning.

By the time people go to work in the morning and come to the street, all the snow on the road has been cleared away, most of it was removed overnight, and the leftovers are piled up under the trees on both sides of the road, which is no longer a hindrance.

Li Shuang drove his children to school, talking about the good of the government while driving.

After sending the children to Huaqing's house, I picked up Huaqing downstairs and went to the University Town Store in North Province.The two decided to check five stores in the north of the province today. From north to south, they are the University City store, the old store, the Chishan Road store, the Huangshan Road store, and the Taishan Road store.

Originally Zhongqing should also participate, but three days ago Wang Shulan's son called him to Beijing to help adjust the winter menu.

While driving carefully, Li Shuang asked Hua Qing, "Why does your brother always go to Beijing?"

Hua Qing said, "Beijing is fine."

"I don't think it may be—" Li Shuang said meaningfully.

"Don't bury my brother, he is not like that."

"I haven't said it yet, why do you think I buried him? Do you have ghosts in your heart?"

"Tch, what the hell is wrong with me, you've been watching all day long."

"Don't talk nonsense, I haven't been watching you all day, who knows where you went after get off work, and I don't know if you come home or not."

"You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. How honest I am now."

"Honestly—" Li Shuang snorted, "Don't say Wu Min, you two are fine, what am I doing, Sister Shuang! You can see it with a glance. She looks at you. The eyes are not right."

Huaqing didn't say anything for a while, obviously being hit.

"Is it an old mistake again?" Li Shuang asked.

"It's an old mistake again, it's not what you think at all." Hua Qing retorted.

"So what?" Li Shuang asked.

"I can't tell for a while, I will tell you when I have time."

"Hmph, there's nothing I can't explain clearly. One is that I don't want to say it, and the other is that I don't know how to say it." Li Shuang tapped the brake lightly to stop the car, and there was a red light ahead. "You always take care of Wu Min in work and life, can she have no idea about you?

Besides, she is single and dares to do it. She doesn't care if you have a family and a job. If she treats you well, can you resist?

Let me tell you young people, women have sex because of love, and men love because of sex, don't be overwhelmed, you will suffer when the time comes. "

"It seems like you know everything." Hua Qing poked his neck, but felt guilty.

"Don't forget who is my sister. When I didn't go to Suzhou, I was the manager of the Huangshan Road store. She and her were good sisters. We slept together under the covers. Why don't we talk? It's still like that now, and we are still best friends." Li Shuang beat Hua with words. clear.

"What's wrong with my girlfriends, we have nothing to do." Hua Qing obviously lacked confidence.

Li Shuang smiled, stepped on the gas pedal and passed the traffic post, saying: "Once people say nothing is wrong, everything is true. At best, there is no relationship, but they already have it in their hearts, and we accept each other."

Speaking of this, Li Shuang paused for a while, and asked: "Do you know what it means to rein in the horse?" Then he asked himself and answered: "At this time, it is called reining in the precipice.

Hurry up and go back to your family. Although my wife is a yellow-faced woman, she will never leave her. Don’t think that you are young and handsome. When you wake up and wash your face in the morning, take a look in the mirror. Brother, you are young, and the rest are memories .

Didn't you see that your son is almost driving you up?Now that you are having an extramarital affair, even if your wife doesn't tell her son, she will feel ashamed and won't see you.

It's really good to be in love with each other, and it would be even more beautiful if you can have sex with each other, but you have to pay a price.To put it lightly, it is said that the reputation is not guaranteed, and to put it more seriously, it is said that the family is broken, the son may take someone else's surname, and the wife let someone else sleep, and it is justified. "

"Wu Min and I have nothing to do—" Hua Qing whispered.

"Nothing is the best. Listen to the senior sister. If you can't hold back, you can find the lady secretly, but you must not mess with your subordinates. You are the head chef, you have to regulate your words and deeds, and the staff will watch every move you make." Li Shuang said His words are earnest, a bit like Old Tan.

Hua Qing hummed and didn't say another word, thinking about his own affairs in his heart.

Seeing that the younger brother didn't say anything, Li Shuang changed the subject and asked, "Did you call Master recently?"

"Huh? Oh, I called the day before yesterday, and he said it was good." Hua Qing said.

"Where is he in Beauty Valley now?"

"Yes--"

"Didn't you say when you'll be back?"

"Don't ask, just ask him how he is."

"I reckon Master's illness will recover, and now he looks like a normal person."

"Master is optimistic and can think about anything."

"Just say that Master has a big heart."

"That's what you said, I didn't say that."

Li Shuang smiled, "Master is big-hearted, what's that called, it's big to be tolerant."

It was eight o'clock when the two arrived at the university town store, and it was not time to go to work, but almost all the kitchen staff had arrived.

This is also the advantage of the open kitchen. One chef has one stall, and each person is responsible for up to six dishes, including cold dishes.

Calculate the sales share after the market closes every day, and follow up the daily completion status according to the sales tasks of the current month.Points are added for completed tasks, no points are deducted for incomplete tasks, and only the basic points are retained.

In this way, every chef has done his own preparation very well, without the head chef following behind to remind him.

After the preparations are done and the market opens, there will be enough time to market your dishes to customers and sell the prepared dishes.

In any business, only sales are profit, and the rest are all costs.

All Aqiao's employees know this principle, and everyone tries to turn themselves into a salesman, even a cleaning lady.
