The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 540 The New Crown Emerges
Good people will be rewarded with good rewards, and bad people will be rewarded with bad rewards. The sky can see it. This is countless. Otherwise, how can the common people live if the heavens don’t open their eyes?
One day at the end of December [-], Qin Haixuan returned from Wuhan to the provincial capital like a bereaved dog, and returned to his parents' home, which was of course his home.

The two bosses in Wuhan didn’t lie to him, they did give him high salary and benefits, and they also rented a house, but he didn’t have a team, he couldn’t fight the world alone, and he couldn’t train the recruits, and they didn’t accept it. In the end, he could only leave in despair.

This is the consequence of underestimating one's ability. When a chef is a few days old, he doesn't know how many bowls of dry rice he has to eat.

The reason why he is doing well in Aqiao is because it is a well-built team with everything ready-made, as long as the management does not deviate, there is almost no need to worry about it.But Wuhan is different. Everything has to be done from scratch. Although he has the imprint of Aqiao in his head, it is difficult to show it, because after all, he did not create it himself and has no experience.

He dared not go back to Changsha, for fear of being laughed at.

He didn't dare to call Liu Yang, knowing that it would be useless to call him, and he was blocked long ago.

In a sarcasm, he said that he lost his wife and lost his army, and it was his own fault.

News of Qin Haitsunami's resignation from Wuhan quickly spread to Changsha, and then spread from Changsha to the provincial capital, Hohhot, Beijing and Suzhou.It's a pity that there are people, there are people who gloat about other people's misfortunes, and most of them don't care about it. It seems that they have long expected that he will have today.

After Zhongqing in the provincial capital knew about it, he immediately issued a notice that no Aqiao person was allowed to introduce him to a job.

Zhongqing was also angry, otherwise he couldn't do this.Younger brother Hua Qing was hit on the head by Du Haipeng, a job hopper, and fell into a coma, lying on the bed like a vegetable, can he not get angry?

At this time, Qin Haixuan, who also quit his job, returned to the provincial capital, and was hitting his bad luck, so it would be strange if he didn't take his anger out on him.If Du Haipeng can't be held, the detention center will immediately go to prison.

When a person is not strong enough to a certain level, he should stay on the platform honestly. This is the most basic rule of survival.

Time soon came to [-]. Lao Tan and his son returned to their hometown on the Laba Festival on the second day of the first month. Three days later, it was his mother's birthday. He and his son came back to celebrate the old lady's birthday.

Mother's birthday was as lively as in previous years, and many relatives, friends, and neighbors came.

There is an old saying: 30 years ago, the father respects the son; 30 years later, the son respects the father.

People respect some dogs and bite ugly ones.

Poor in the street no one asks, rich in the mountains have distant relatives.

I think there were these relatives when Lao Tan's family was poor, but no one cares about the family.In order to borrow 50 yuan for the school expenses of the fifth sister, Lao Tan had to travel all day, and he could only borrow from ten relatives who were stared at by ten relatives, which shows that the world is cold and human.

Now Lao Tan is doing it, Fifth Sister is doing it, five sisters' families are doing it, and all relatives are relatives.Especially those people in my mother's natal family know that there is this aunt, or aunt.

The fifth sister is a celebrity in the city's education circle, and her words carry weight.Which of these relatives has children who do not go to school?Especially now that special attention is paid to the education of children, so many people come to celebrate the old lady's birthday with a fawning mentality.

In addition, the two grandsons of the old lady are now managers of tobacco stations in their respective towns. Many flue-cured tobacco farmers also come to celebrate the old lady's birthday in order to sell their tobacco leaves at a higher level when handing over tobacco. Mind.

In addition, many relatives and friends have people working in Aqiao, including many families in the village and those in Sanliwutun, as well as their relatives and friends.

Aqiao's good reputation spread among them, and someone in her family worked there to earn money, so the old lady would come to celebrate her birthday.

Speaking of Guiqi, she is still an old lady with a good reputation and high prestige, but Yichuan has a good reputation for suffering and poverty all her life. She raised her six children by begging for food, and she was so poor that she raised the only college student in the village. Man thumbs up admiration.

After celebrating his mother's birthday, Lao Tan and his son returned to the provincial capital after they were young.

Perhaps it was a foresight, and of course it included a judgment on the current situation. Lao Tan communicated with Yanhua, Zhang Yu, and Yanzi when he first entered the twelfth lunar month. He planned to not make a reservation for the New Year’s Eve dinner this year, and follow the country’s statutory holidays. During the Spring Festival, there will be a seven-day holiday , Let the employees go home for a good year.

It was not easy to make this decision. Catering people know that during the Spring Festival is the time when the sales volume is the highest, and it is a fool to close the business during the holiday.

Lao Tan gave three reasons:
[-]. The overall sales situation this year is very good, and I have made a lot more profit, and the profit is enough;
Second, it has always been said that people-oriented and treat employees as family members. It is reasonable and reasonable to give employees a holiday to go home for the New Year;
Third, before the Spring Festival period is indeed the time when the sales volume is the highest, but high sales volume does not mean high profits.Every year during the Spring Festival, the price of raw materials soars, almost twice the usual amount, and the cost pressure increases greatly.

In addition, as long as the business is open, the employees have to be paid three times their wages, and they have to give red envelopes at thirty. This is a lot of money, plus the high cost of raw material price increases.

Every year during the Spring Festival, the main reason for business is to give employees a holiday. When the business opens, the employees will not come back. Now the most difficult thing to find is the employees. Many stores have been renovated because the employees cannot be recruited, so it is too late to open. normal phenomenon.

There is also the fear of losing customers during the Spring Festival holiday. This is a worry and scruple for new stores. Stores that have established brands have almost no worries. As long as they open, there will be people, and old customers will come back.

In summary, Lao Tan decided to have a holiday during the Spring Festival. First, he asked his employees to go home to have a good year. You must know that some store managers and chefs have not been at home for the Spring Festival for four or five years, which is a bit unreasonable.

Secondly, this is also an anti-marketing strategy, setting a precedent for giving employees a holiday during the Spring Festival, creating influence in the catering circle and earning a good reputation.You must know that a restaurant can only live for a long time if it has a good reputation in the fan circle, and everything is praised by its own people.

This decision was bold. Fortunately, Yanhua, Zhang Yu, and Yanzi were all sensible people who fully trusted Lao Tan and agreed after consideration.

When the decision was issued as a notice to the group, the entire employee circle was boiling.Not only the employees, but also those managers who have been sticking to the front line are also excited, and some even shouted long live!
There is no doubt that this is a correct decision and has won the support of the people.

On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, when Lao Tan took three months of medicine from an old Chinese doctor in Beijing and went to the train station to go back to the provincial capital, he found that the situation was different from when he came - he had to wear a mask when entering the station.

Lao Tan first bought a mask and put it on, and at the same time asked the mask seller what was going on, and the mask seller said that Wuhan had discovered an epidemic, the new crown pneumonia.

"New crown pneumonia? What's wrong? Like SARS?" Old Tan asked.

"I don't know, you can ask someone else." After finishing speaking, the mask seller continued to sell one, and stopped talking to Lao Tan.

Lao Tan entered the station with doubts, checked the tickets and got on the train. All the passengers in the compartment were wearing masks, and immediately entered a tense atmosphere.

　Thank you Changsha Huisheng, Fat Brother Lao Li, Tianzonghong, Flying Tutumao, Zhetian Nai Dacheng and other friends for their monthly tickets and recommendation tickets. Thank you!sincere thanks!
