The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 564 Put it down, don't tangle
"So let's put aside your entanglements and don't care about how much you lost.

Money is a good thing if it is good, but it is not good if it is not good.

Say it is good, you can buy a house or a car, you can change your living environment and improve your quality of life, right?Otherwise, why would people flock to it?The reason why it is bad is that it can send people to the grave, but people cannot take it to the grave.

Everyone said that this is not the case.

So don't pay too much attention to it, everyone, there is nothing to care about.To be honest, as long as someone is there, we can come here. We just need to settle down and do our best to serve our employees well. That's all.

Have you noticed a problem, I guess there are such people around you.What kind of person is thinking about how to make money and how to make a fortune all day long, but they can't make a fortune.Sometimes I blame myself for not being rich, or even blame my parents for not being officials or rich people.

Ladies and gentlemen, to be honest, there are many such people.But everyone found that no, this kind of people often did not make a fortune in the end, and they were still the same as before.

why?
Because he only focused on the result, wishing he could become a millionaire or multi-millionaire tomorrow, but he ignored the process that must go through to make money, so he will achieve nothing when he grows old.

So how did the money come from?
Let me tell you that money is not what you want to come. If you want to make money, the first point is that you don’t want money. What you want to do is to do things well. Don’t worry, the money will come naturally.

During the epidemic in the first half of the year, we were closed for three months. I kept telling everyone not to worry about it and not to worry about it. Hey, it came in handy at this time.

We should think like this: Hey, well, three months of detention will be three months, nothing to do, anyway, I have been tired after working for these years, just to take a break.It's a great thing to take advantage of this opportunity to stay with the family to enhance the relationship.And it is to help the motherland, both public and private.

Don't other restaurants not pay their employees wages?It's okay, let's send it at home.

You see, this pattern will come up soon.

I believe that all of you here have received words of thanks from employees. When you see the words of thanks, I think you must feel that you have done a very remarkable thing and feel very beautiful in your heart.

I remember that when our family paid living expenses to employees, many people said that our family was stupid, that we had money but nowhere to spend it, and we don’t know when the epidemic will end, and what to do if the employees don’t come back when it’s over.

Hehe, people’s hearts are full of flesh. Although we don’t pay full salary, I believe that when employees receive it, they will be moved and will say good things about us.

It turns out we were right.

Everyone has seen the effect. After the lockdown was lifted, our family was the first to resume normal business and also the first to make a profit.why?Employees know how to be grateful, and they are giving back to us with practical actions. "

Old Tan happened to walk up to Huang Lijuan, and he asked, "Mr. Huang, you are now running five stores in Jining and Baotou. What is your annual profit?"

Huang Lijuan said: "3 million."

Old Tan smiled and said, "It's a bit conservative, but it's about the same. Let me ask, if you didn't earn a penny or lose a penny this year by the end of the year, what would you do during the New Year?"

"Do it, why don't you do it." Huang Lijuan said: "Just now when you mentioned the employees, I remembered something. After the restaurant was unsealed, it was almost useless. I didn't care. It was all done by the employees spontaneously.

Such as temperature measurement when entering the store, mobile phone registration, daily disinfection, mandatory wearing of masks, etc. To be honest, when I arrived at the store, the staff had already tidied up, and I was very moved.

Not for anything else, but for these employees. "

"Well said." Lao Tan smiled, then continued to pace and continued: "We don't go online, and we don't talk about useless chatter.

Through this epidemic, I have affirmed one thing - it is right to serve employees wholeheartedly.

At the same time, I was thinking that our Ah Qiao's making dumplings, cooking home-cooked dishes, and selling health wine are just doing it according to our wishes, and what we are really doing is human beings.

Be a good person!

Let all employees have money to earn and eat, and stop looking for jobs everywhere. As long as Aqiao exists for a day, the 64 families behind them will be full of hope! "

wow——

Everyone gave Lao Tan a warm applause.

Lao Tan finally said: "So everyone, don't worry, don't think about money, think about how to do things better and more comprehensively, care more about employees, treat them well, good fortune will definitely come."

In fact, Aqiao may not care as much as Haidilao for his employees, but it is one of the best among Chinese restaurants.

Take the employees who live in the dormitory as an example, they don’t live in bunk beds like other hotels, they all have lower beds, and there are four people in a room, which is very spacious.The bedroom is equipped with WLAN, washing machine, and bathroom, and there is a special person to clean it. The salary is not bad.

In addition, employees who buy a house have a housing allowance, those who buy a car have a car allowance, and there is a filial piety fund that is directly transferred to the employee's parents' card every month, which is not bad.

To put it bluntly, this has something to do with Lao Tan's background.He started from the bottom of the kitchen and experienced the whole process from odd jobs to chopping boards, chefs, head chefs, chefs, and general managers. He knows what ordinary employees need, so he tries to satisfy them as much as possible.

In addition, it is also inseparable from the support of Yanhua and Yanzi.Although Yanhua and Yanzi are women, they are not greedy for money by nature. They are more generous than men, cut faster, neater, and have a vision. That's why Aqiao is today, with these good employees.

The death of many restaurants is often not because of bad dishes and poor service quality, but because the boss’s structure is too small and he can’t be a boss. He always feels that if he is a boss and an employee, he must be obedient and do what he tells you to do, and leave. , and then hire someone else.

This kind of boss doesn't care about employees at all, let alone caring, it's an exaggeration to say that they would open their mouths and beat them, so there are quite a few restaurants like this that don't stay open for long.

Lao Tan communicated cordially and friendlyly with everyone for two days, and the entanglements were no longer entangled, and all the things that were let go were let go. This is the result that Lao Tan wanted.

There was a shower this morning, and the cold rain knocked off the few scattered yellow leaves that were still persisting on the tree branches, and fell all over the ground. It was already late autumn.

Lao Tan walked back after taking a walk in the small park, and ran into Brother Liu on the way.

The two haven't seen each other for almost a year, and they are very happy.

Brother Liu asked about Lao Tan's physical condition, and Lao Tan told him that his stomach cancer was cured, and there was nothing wrong with him now.

"Wang Ming can't do it now, he's so thin that he can touch his ribs, and he's out of shape." Brother Liu said.

"What's going on? What's wrong?" Old Tan asked.

"Small cell lung cancer can't be operated on, so it can only be raised and wait to die." Brother Liu said regretfully.

"Is he at home now or in the hospital?"

"I lived in the hospital for a while in the first half of the year, and now I'm at home."

While the two were talking, the mobile phone rang almost at the same time, and the two took it out to look at it.

I saw Wang Ming's profile picture displayed on the WeChat page, but the WeChat was not sent by him, but by his family members.

"Hello, Wang Ming passed away at [-]:[-] this morning, and the funeral will be held the day after tomorrow. I hope I can find time to see him off."

Old Tan couldn't help feeling ashamed for a while, and after a while he said to Brother Liu, "Wang Ming is gone."

"Well, let's go—"

"I'll pick you up the morning after tomorrow."

"Well, I'll wait for you at the gate of the community."
