The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 72 Thoughts
In [-], the Year of the Rabbit in Xinmao, the second day after the heavy snowfall, the first snow of this winter quietly fell.

In the morning, the sky turned cloudy, and the whole sky was gray and depressing.After two o'clock in the afternoon, the overcast became deeper, and the darkness seemed to fall.

Snowflakes the size of copper coins began to fall, and soon, the entire world was filled with whiteness.Like at night, the lights of the cars driving on the road were all on, and there was a layer of white snow on the street.

The snowflakes are flying, eloquently.

The whole provincial capital is a world of snow.

Zhang Li had a rest today. In the morning, she visited her little nephew at her sister's house. She didn't eat at her sister's house. When the snow didn't fall, she came home and prepared to cook some hot pot by herself.

The sliced ​​meat is in the refrigerator, and the seasoning is ready-made. I bought a few vegetables and enoki mushrooms when I went upstairs.It's boring to eat by myself while washing vegetables, so I'm going to call Lao Tan to ask what I'm doing, if I have nothing to do, come over to have some food, on Tuesday, it's not busy, and it's still snowing.

Lao Tan was indeed not busy, and he was quite angry.

At noon, Lao Feng came, led a few guests, and chatted with Lao Tan for a while after dinner.

Although he didn't say it clearly, what he meant was that the dumpling restaurant is almost what Lao Tan says, and the employees listen to him. If Lao Tan quits, it will be a problem for the operation.Of course, when he said these words, he was chatting with Lao Tan, meaning that without Lao Tan, there would be no dumpling restaurant.

Immediately afterwards, he changed the subject and implicitly said that he should train a chef and stuffing adjuster. If Huaqing or Wang Hong quit, there would be no successors.He said that he had a friend's sister who used to work as a foreman in a restaurant, so she could come over and be Li Shuang's deputy to practice, and if Li Shuang quit, someone would take over.

Those who understand need not say much, this is clearly a showdown.

Lao Tan told Lao Feng on the spot to rest assured that even if he left, he would not give up the pick, and promised to leave after everything was connected.In addition, tell him that he is not that kind of person.

I don't know if this is what the swallow meant, but he didn't think so.

Let's take a look at Yanzi and Yanhua.

During this period of time, the two of them have improved a lot through learning in the training class. Not to mention changing people, at least they are different from before.

Although she was also a boss before, she has a strong sense of a housewife, which can be seen at a glance.

Now the whole person has changed in temperament.For example, the same piece of clothing used to look very ordinary when worn on the body, but now it is different, with an indescribable feeling, as if it has taste and inner things.

When the two were training, they found that what they learned was very close to what the dumpling restaurant was doing.The teacher is talking about theory, and the dumpling restaurant is about practical operation. In this way, the two of them can get twice the result with half the effort and make rapid progress.

I met a lot of friends in the training class, especially those who run restaurants. I was very envious when I saw that they made their restaurants bigger and bigger through learning and continued to develop.

Through communication, I know that they started as a small restaurant at the beginning, and through painstaking efforts, they have grown little by little.Today, I found that management like before is outdated, so I came out to study, recharge myself, learn advanced management methods, and continue to do business after I go back.

Among them are some female bosses who are good at catering in the provincial capital. Seeing that they are worth tens of millions, they are still learning, and they are very humble. They know that there is still a lot to learn, and they are just at the beginning.

As the saying goes, learning makes people progress.The two learned what catering is and how to do it through learning.Know what qualities you need to have to be a good boss, and what kind of structure you need.

All learning is for application.

Knowledge is not power, the use of knowledge is power.

The two of them clearly knew that Lao Tan contributed a lot to making the dumpling restaurant what it is today.Knowing that the future development of the dumpling restaurant will depend on Lao Tan, this is an indisputable fact.

After realizing this, the two planned to raise Lao Tan's salary and plan to give shares.

Before the two opened the dumpling restaurant, they were just housewives, relying on men to make money to support the family, and the big ideas were taken by the old men.Although he has opened a restaurant now, he is the boss on the surface, but when making important decisions, he still needs to discuss with the old men.

After Yanhua told Lao Deng about her thoughts with Yanzi, Lao Deng expressed her agreement and support, thinking that this should be done.I work all day, so I can't help Yanhua. The only thing I can do is to pick up customers from the store, and now I don't need to pick up customers. The dumpling restaurant is famous, and many people in the factory go by themselves.

Besides, I don't know much about catering, so I should have someone like Lao Tan to help me cook.It's like their workshop needs to be led by someone like him who understands both management and comprehensive technology.

On the other hand, the husband and wife who have been with Yanhua for more than ten years trust each other, especially after he made a mistake, Master Yanhua forgave himself a lot, which made him cherish Yanhua even more.I hope Yanhua has something to do, and I hope Yanhua will do better and better.If the wife does a good job, she will also have face.

Lao Deng thinks this way, but Lao Feng does not.

Earlier we already knew what Lao Feng was thinking.

When Yanzi told him about He Yanhua's plan, Lao Feng directly objected, saying that it was enough to open a store, and he did not support continuing to open a store.

"Lao Tan's salary is already high enough, so there is no need to raise it. I'll forget it. You and Yanhua can each earn 300,000 in a year. If you give Lao Tan more shares, you two will have nothing left. Let's talk about him. No investment." Lao Feng said.

"Then I haven't invested yet, it's all your money." Yanzi said a little unhappy.

"Aren't we a couple?" Old Feng said.

"That's what you said, when will you get the certificate?" Yanzi took the opportunity to ask.

This speaks to Lao Feng's sore spot.

Now he thinks more than before, not only about the short life of the old Feng's wife, but also about his own family property.

The wife who gave birth to her children didn't get anything, so she left early.I'm still a little worried about Yanzi, a half-way couple. If I divorce myself one day after receiving the certificate, will I get a share of the family property?Although pre-marital property notarization can be done now, if it is done, it will be a shameful thing for the dignified village secretary.

Also, the swallow will no longer follow him.

The two did not discuss the matter again, but there was no doubt that a rift had developed between them.

Since Lao Feng did not agree to raise Lao Tan's salary and share, Lao Tan's salary was still 6000 yuan.

I have no opinion on these old Tan, and I don't know about it.Working in the dumpling restaurant is mainly to look at Yanhua's face, and an old friend of more than ten years must help.If Yanzi opened it by himself, he might help start the business and leave. After all, 6000 yuan is too little for him.

But what Lao Feng said today made him unhappy, and he had the idea of ​​not doing it any more—what else would he do if he didn't trust him?
I am angry, and I am naturally in a bad mood. With the snow, I am a little depressed.

Zhang Li called and said to eat hot pot. He was looking for someone to drink, so he readily agreed, poured a catty of wine into the wine jar, explained to Li Shuang and Hua Qing, and then left the shop.

There are few pedestrians on the street, and the snowflakes are quite big, falling gently on the body, without feeling a trace of chill.

The day before yesterday, that is, a week after the uncle who fell was admitted to the hospital, his son did not come, and the old lady came to the store.She said a lot of thanks, and compensated Lao Tan for her son, and at the same time took out 1000 yuan.Lao Tan confiscated that much, leaving only five hundred.

Seeing the old lady, Lao Tan couldn't help but think of his mother.

I went back to see it once during the August Festival, and my mother could still sit in the yard and pick corn.I stayed at home for three days, I didn't stay enough, there was nothing I could do, the dumpling restaurant had just opened for more than three months, and I couldn't let go, so I came back in a panic.

As I walked, I thought, now the dumpling restaurant is on the right track, Huaqing in the kitchen can cook, Li Shuang at the front desk can handle it, it doesn’t matter if I am there or not, I have time to go back to my hometown to spend a few days with my mother.It happened to be the slack season in winter, so I could visit some of my sisters' houses, but I haven't been there for several years.

How can a person be without parents?
How can there be no relatives and sisters?

When you are depressed, you want to drink with friends. When you feel tired, you will miss home. It is the warmest place.

After having this plan, the idea of ​​going home became stronger, and my heart felt hot, thinking that it would be better to go home now.

The snowflakes that fell on the head and face melted quickly, and it was very cool and comfortable.Looking at the sky, streets, and pedestrians that have been completely covered in white, there is an inexplicable kindness, and even a little touch.

My thoughts quickly returned to the dumpling restaurant, and I had to arrange my work before I went home, as if I was not here anymore.One is to train Huaqing, Li Shuang, and the kitchen staff; the other is to pave the way for not working here.

He thought about it carefully.

Now that the dumpling restaurant has been established, the business will not fluctuate greatly.If you don't open a branch, it doesn't matter whether you are there or not.Of course, it would be better if he was here, as long as everyone looked at him, it was as if he had a backbone, and he worked hard.

In fact, this is also my own shortcoming. I have not cultivated a successor who can stand alone.This is a management problem. When you are here, you can do it, but when you are not there, it is a mess.The only advantage is that it can deter the boss and have the capital to challenge him.

But this is definitely not conducive to development, it is not good for the hotel, nor is it good for the people under the opponent.I've been with you for several years, but what's the point?So let's make them great.

How great?

Go exercise, actually do it.I give support behind the scenes, correct where I am wrong, and praise what is right, just a little bit.When they fully grow up, they are also powerful.

What's more, if Lao Feng can say these words, he no longer trusts him.Now it seems that the conflict is concentrated on himself, and has nothing to do with Hua Qing and Li Shuang.Withdrawing and handing over the dumpling restaurant to them is a happy situation for all.

Li Shuang and Huaqing's wages are not low, and they will soon increase according to the point system.They have a good job here and have absolutely no problem raising a family.

Yanhua and Yanzi treat everyone very well, like sisters.After leaving, they can rest assured that they can work here, and they will be capable in the long run. This is the most important thing.

The boss should arrange the younger brothers well.

Also, if Yanhua and Yanzi want to open a branch, I will still help.

But judging from the current situation, there is little hope. It is obvious that Lao Feng does not plan to open a branch, and has already had differences with Yanzi, Yanhua, and Lao Deng.

How to put it, it is difficult to make a good business partner.

If you lose money, you will fall apart, and if you make money, you will have your own thoughts, which is the weakness of human nature.
