The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 536 Checking the Stores

When Li Shuang and Hua Qing arrived at the old store, the employees had just finished dancing the energetic square dance.Here I have to talk about the Chinese square dance aunts, whose vitality and appeal are no less than that of young people. Their square dance has penetrated into every corner, and the employees in the restaurant like it.

After the dance, everyone stood in line, and the store manager and head chef started the morning regular meeting.

"Good morning everyone!" the store manager greeted loudly.

"Good! Very good! Very good!" The employees responded in unison.

Next, the store manager announced the sales of each department in the kitchen and each waiter at the front desk yesterday.The stew stall yesterday overfulfilled the single-day sales task, and each team member received two points, and each rewarded with an incentive card with a face value of five yuan.

A waiter named Guan Ying at the front desk was yesterday's sales champion, and he was rewarded with a five-yuan incentive card with two points.

The winners smiled and everyone applauded and encouraged.

The store manager asked the boss of the stew: "Ma Dong, have you saved a lot of incentive cards at your stall?"

Ma Dong said proudly: "Not much, two hundred and twenty-five."

"Enough for a meal."

"That is, spend tonight and have a big meal."

"Is there any part for me?"

Ma Dong looked the store manager up and down seriously, and said, "You can participate, but the drinks are yours, and I use the money to buy vegetables."

"You just pick—"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Next, the store manager and the head chef respectively made the work arrangements for the day, and then ended the morning meeting happily with the singing of the sales champion Guan Ying.

During the regular meeting, Li Shuang checked the sanitation and fire safety upstairs and downstairs, Huaqing checked the preparations for each stall in the kitchen, and checked the switch and alarm of the gas pipeline, as well as the soft connection of each stove.

Food safety in restaurants is important, and fire safety is more important, which involves the top priority of personal safety.

The employees went to their own business, and the store manager and the head chef went to report to their bosses as if they were seeing their parents.

After listening to the store manager's report, Li Shuang asked, "Has the washing machine in the bedroom been repaired?"

"It's fixed, it was fixed yesterday." The store manager said.

"That's good." Li Shuang nodded, and then said seriously: "Check the dormitory after logistics. If something breaks, fix it immediately. Don't wait for three days like a washing machine to find out."

"Well, I see." The store manager blushed a little, a little stiff.

"At the regular meeting in the afternoon, we will talk about fire safety. It is winter and the fire season is frequent, so we must pay attention to fire prevention." Li Shuang said.

"Ah."

"Also, when I checked just now, I found that the air conditioners in two private rooms responded slowly, so I asked the maintenance workers to repair them quickly."

"It has been reported for repair, come this afternoon."

Li Shuang thought for a while and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he asked the store manager to go busy, and then went to Huaqing to go to the Chishan Road store.

Huaqing is discussing the tableware with the head chef.

Now that Huaqing has learned how to live, he will not easily agree to change the tableware.

"Boss, some tableware is really broken. If you don't believe me, go to the dishwashing room to have a look." The head chef said with a bitter face.

"I've checked, and most of them are okay—it's just that the hot pot needs to be replaced," Hua Qing said.

"The ground pot also needs to be replaced, it has been used for almost two years."

"The ground pot is okay."

"It's really bad, change it." The head chef begged.

Hua Qing scratched his head, finally let go of the chef's eager bitter gourd face, and said, "Then change it, I'll listen to you." Then he instructed: "If you want to change it, don't talk nonsense, don't let other shops Know."

"That's guaranteed."

After getting out of the old store and getting into the car, Li Shuang mocked Huaqing: "When did you learn to pick like this? You can squeeze out water from a dry rag."

Hua Qing said: "It's not good if you don't pick it up. What about ten stores, do you know how much it will cost if you change the tableware all at once?"

"how much is it?"

"Let's say [-] yuan, it's still saving money. You know, restaurants don't make much money now, and the money is all earned by selling tableware. You haven't been to Shisanwei Road Cookware City. The tableware is good. Which one is there? I want to buy them all, especially the new online celebrity tableware, then—" Hua Qing hesitated to speak, the expression on his face was as if he was obsessed with seeing a sexy beauty.

"I think our family should have some online celebrity tableware, which is also eye-catching." Li Shuang said.

"It's eye-catching, but the money is also good." Hua Qing said with envious regret: "A set plate is [-] yuan, a special-shaped Kangshu casserole is [-] yuan, and a non-magnetic non-stick hot pot is [-] yuan—think about it. Okay, let’s just buy it, how many dishes do we have to sell to get back the tableware money?”

"The tableware is no longer good and should be replaced. How much does it cost to replace it with Internet celebrity tableware?"

"Why didn't you count it?" Hua Qing pouted, and said, "You don't know how expensive rice is if you are not in charge. If you replace all tableware with Internet celebrities, a store will say at least [-] yuan, and the matching sideboards will also have to be increased, otherwise there will be nothing. Let it go.

Our family does not have a tableware fee like other families, and the store will bear all the damage.Do the math, the cost of tableware doubles, how stressful is the kitchen?You can't increase the price of the dishes because of the change of tableware, right?

I am now waiting for the price reduction of Internet celebrity tableware. When will it reduce the price and I will buy it. "

Li Shuang couldn't help but nodded appreciatively, thinking that this kid is promising, like a chef.

People are constantly growing, and so is our Huaqing.After all, he is 38 this year, and he is no longer the big boy he was more than ten years ago.Time moves forward relentlessly, pushing people forward involuntarily, increasing age while increasing experience and experience, making people mature.

Maybe some people don't grow up all their lives, and they are innocent and childlike when they get old, but it doesn't mean that they don't experience or grow up, and don't think about problems with adult thinking.

Huaqing doesn't look like someone who is almost 40 years old, at most he is in his early thirties, and he looks handsome and young like a guy.People who are with him don't even realize that he is 38, and he still gets along like a young man.

But in fact, he has lost the impetuosity of a young man, and his maturity and calmness have gradually appeared in his body. He is no longer impatient in doing things, and no longer hasty in speaking. He has begun to calm down and become more and more stable.

This is the transformation of a big boy into a mature man.

Boys full of youthful vigor are cute, but mature and stable men are more charming, just like blooming flowers and full fruits, one is charming appreciation, the other is intoxicating aftertaste.

The two checked the Chishan Road and Taishan Road stores one after another, and arrived at the Huangshan Road store just before lunch.It's not because Wu Min is here that the final checkpoint is placed here. The two of them have worked together for the longest time here, and they both went out from here. They have special feelings for this place, so they finally come here.

When the two entered the store, the customers had already left. Most of the waiters were cleaning up, and only a few private rooms were still serving customers.The kitchen staff was busy closing the stalls for lunch, appearing to be in a hurry.

Huaqing walks through each stall one by one, and every time they pass by a stall, the boss will come forward to say hello and chat a few words by the way.When he passed the dumpling stall, he glanced inside, and it happened that Wu Min was not there, so he prepared to take two quick steps to go directly.

When he was about to pass by, he heard a familiar voice shouting from behind: "Hey, chef, wait a minute."
