The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 559

Zhou Xiaomei and Tuya came on the third day after Yaru was finished.The two of them came just to find time for Lao Tan, and took the opportunity to invite Director Wu, the attending physician, and the dean to have a meal. After the meal, Zhou Xiaomei reported to him the business situation in the past two months.

Generally speaking, it has basically returned to a normal state. The employees are emotionally stable, enthusiastic about work, and more cohesive than before.

"Uncle, let me tell you about the situation." Zhou Xiaomei said, "Five stores were closed on the first day of the new year. There are many former employees of our family in these five stores, and they all want to come back."

Old Tan asked, "How many people are there?"

Zhou Xiaomei said, "There are more than fifty people."

"What's your opinion?"

"I'm not sure yet. It stands to reason that we won't accept them because they quit jobs, but I can't bear to see them have no work——"

Old Tan calculated and said: "The average salary of one person is calculated at 50 yuan, plus additional expenses is 200,000 yuan, and [-] people is [-] yuan. Do you think this is a good investment?"

Zhou Xiaomei said: "I have calculated that it is equivalent to the overall capital investment of a store. According to the current business situation, accepting them is tantamount to supporting them for nothing, and they have to be paid. But we are suitable for planning according to the later reserve. These people are all Skilled trades can be employed without training, I think it is worth it.”

Old Tan said, "Please explain in detail."

Zhou Xiaomei said: "Our family has no plan to open a store in the past two years, but the loss of employees is inevitable. For example, some are planning to start their own businesses, some are changing careers, some are getting married or funerals, and some cannot avoid job hopping.

Taking these 50 people seems to be a free meal, but when there is a shortage of people, you can step up, isn't it uncle? "

Lao Tan nodded and said: "It also saves the training process. The most important thing is to solve their practical difficulties. It is estimated that these people will not change jobs again in the future." Then he said: "Then you can arrange it, let's do direct sales first. shop, try not to cause trouble to the cooperative shop."

After Zhou Xiaomei and Tuya left, Lao Tan called Yanhua and communicated with her about it, and Yanhua agreed.

In the following days, Lao Tan settled down to take care of Yaru. With the previous nursing experience, this time he is more familiar with the road than before.

In the past, it was Yaru who took care of Lao Tan, and now it is Lao Tan's turn to take care of Yaru. Hehe, it is cause and effect as well as karma, so the Buddha said that karma and fate are all fate, and three lives and three lives can only be complete.Good causes and good fruits will eventually be rewarded, and good fortune and longevity will be comprehensive.

A week later, the plaster cast on Yaru's leg was removed, but her leg was not strenuous enough to walk on the ground, and she could bend back and forth while sitting on the bed.

According to the X-ray film, the bone joint is very good, there is no dislocation, the fracture is tightly closed, and there is almost no fracture mark.All that's left is rehabilitation.

After training that day, Lao Tan took a wheelchair and pushed Yaru for a walk in the back yard of the hospital.

The back court is very large, with basketball courts and badminton courts, as well as various equipment to assist rehabilitation training, such as double-row support armrests, hangers, and backrests specially used for patients with lumbar dislocation.

The greening of the site is very good, surrounded by tall and tall poplar trees with luxuriant branches and leaves. Three flower beds in full bloom are scattered in the site. It is a bench for people to rest.

Outside the poplar trees in the north is a large corn field with gratifying growth, with a visual estimate of more than [-] mu.

"Go to the cornfield and have a look." Yaju said, pointing to the corn.

Lao Tan pushed her to the cornfield, and when he got closer, he realized that there was an iron fence here, and the two of them could only watch from inside the fence.

"The corn grows so well, it is estimated that it will be harvested in another month." Yaru said.

"Well, almost, it's almost September." Old Tan said.

"It's almost August Day."

"Well, on October [-]st."

"It's a good time this year, National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival."

"That's not."

"I'm leaving the hospital and I want to go home and have a look at the August Festival at home." Yaru said.

"Okay, I've been home too. After the New Year's Eve, there was an epidemic, and I haven't been home to see my mother." Old Tan said.

"Do you still have land?" Yaru asked looking at the cornfield in front of him.

"Yes, it's all packed."

"Oh, I didn't contract out my land. My parents planted it. This year it's all corn. I can help the old couple harvest for a few days when I go back."

"How many lands in total?" Old Tan asked.

"My family has very little land, four acres of land for one person, and a total of twelve acres of land including my parents' and my mother's. It took five days to reap the benefits."

"Is your father still working as a bricklayer?"

"I've quit working a long time ago. I'm so old. Now I plant twelve acres of land with my mother and raise more than ten pigs. The old couple have enough to eat and live, and they can save some money after a year."

"A good day." Old Tan said, "When I get old, I will go back to the countryside, plant a few acres of land, tend a vegetable garden, raise some chickens, ducks, geese and dogs, drink some wine and listen to a play when I have nothing to do, and have a leisurely time."

Yaru said: "It's better for us in the countryside. As long as people in the countryside are not lazy, they can't go hungry. In summer, they hardly need to buy vegetables. There is no food in the garden, and they don't use chemical fertilizers or pesticides.

You don't need too many chickens, a dozen or so are enough, and you can't even eat the eggs.Ducks can still be eaten with a smelly mouth, so they don't want to raise them.The big goose is okay, you don’t need a dog to raise a big goose, it can take care of the house. "

"Then you have to have a dog. A dog understands human nature and is a companion." Old Tan said.

"What's wrong? You just want to live alone?" Yaru asked.

"That's not true. I would like to have a dog."

"I also like dogs. When I was a child, my family had a big black dog named Heizi. But he is sensible and not rushing at all. My mother shovels the ground and it follows behind, and she doesn't run around in the fields. When will my mother come back?" When will it come back, like a bodyguard.

I will play with it for a while after school, and I will be old with me, and I can ride it.

When I was in junior high school, it didn't come back one day, but I couldn't find it anywhere, and I was so uncomfortable.My dad said that when Heizi is old, the old cat returns to the mountain and the tiger returns to the cave, and the old dog leaves home without tears.It is afraid of dying at home and its owner will be sad, so it leaves home before it dies, and finds a place where no one is there to die—"

"Dogs do—"

"Since then, my family has never had a dog. Now I see people who have dogs and want to have one, but when I think about the dog's death, I get scared and dare not keep it."

Old Tan said: "You can't raise them in the city. Pets are raised in the city, and they don't have the spirituality of raising them in the countryside. I like the native dogs in our house. They are rural dogs. They are good housekeepers and smart. They go to the mountains in winter. Can chasing rabbits."

"The dogs in our house are almost gone -- now all we raise are pet dogs, and they don't look after the home at all. Like our ancestors, there is no big goose in charge."

Yaru laughed after finishing speaking, and then said: "Actually, the beautiful valley is very good, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and you can ski in winter. Let's go there when we get old."

"Good." Old Tan said.

"It's just that the garden is a little small, and I can't grow many vegetables, but it's enough for two people. It's okay to go to the mountain to check firewood, and burn it if it can't be burned. It doesn't cost much a month, and it's convenient to buy anything. The most important thing is that you can dance Yangko at night. Two people turn."

"The main thing is that the water is good, the air is good, and the people are good."

"That's not true." Yaru raised his face and said with a smile, "That's it. We'll go when we get old, and we won't tell anyone."
