The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 90 Rebates
After changing jobs, Zhang Yu went to work in the Hohhot Water Supply Company, a public institution, with stable work and guaranteed income during drought and flood.I have been working for ten years, and then I felt that it was really meaningless, so I stopped my job and left to start a business.

First, I borrowed some money from my family to open a restaurant.People from Heilongjiang, typical Northeast people, are bold and generous, cheerful and straightforward, not fussy, easy to make friends with, so the restaurant business has been very good, and it was more than 3 a day when it was the hottest.After four years, I also earned a small [-] million.

Opening a restaurant is hard work, but the advantage is that he knows a lot of people, from all walks of life. In addition, he is easy to make friends with, so he has made many friends.Later, I met Guo Xiaoying, and the two became friends. Driven by Guo Xiaoying, they started investing in coal business.

Of course, dumping coal is more profitable than opening a restaurant, and sometimes dumping a trip is equivalent to the restaurant's earnings for three months.So he gradually put his energy on dumping coal, and began to neglect the management of the restaurant.

As the saying goes, management produces benefits, without management, there is no benefit, and not losing money is considered a gain.

The home sent from the restaurant has a plot that can't let go of the restaurant.But people's energy is limited, and they don't have the technique of double body, so we can't grasp the small things and enlarge them.

His idea is very simple, find a responsible head chef for the kitchen, find a reliable manager for the front desk, decentralize the power, let these two people manage the restaurant, and check twice a month by himself, it should be fine.

Because that's how it was done in the first place.

What he neglected was that at the beginning he was on guard at the restaurant every day, and everyone had a constraint.Now that he is not in the restaurant, the constraints are gone. Although the hired people dare not do anything wrong, but after all, the boss is not around, so the management will inevitably be lax.

Over time, this led to a decline in business.

There is nothing wrong with his attitude of not being suspicious of employing people, but it is very important to know people before employing them.People with poor knowledge, the worse the morals of the people used, the faster the restaurant will become dirty.

Obviously useless to people.

Yan Dahu came to the Northeast restaurant a year ago. At that time, the business was around [-] yuan, which was better than now.

Yan Dahu's first impression is that he is honest and affordable, he doesn't talk much, he belongs to the kind of person who does his work in silence, and it is easy to generate trust.Because of this Zhang Yu hired him.

When he first arrived, he performed well. He was active in his work, smart and methodical. He considered everything for the boss. In addition, he cooks well and is well received by guests. He manages.

People have bad roots.When rights are not effectively supervised and controlled, selfish desires will inflate, which has remained unchanged since ancient times.Otherwise there would not be so many corrupt officials.

Yan Dahu is smart, and he is good at calculating.

I know that if you want to gain a firm foothold in the kitchen, it is not enough to have the trust of the boss, you must have your own people, and the more people you have, the better.There is a deterrent effect when you have more people, and the boss has to think about it when he doesn't want to use him.

Therefore, he fired a chef first, and arranged his younger brother Erhu to cook on the stove.In this way, there is only one chef on the stove who is not him.

Then I arranged my brother-in-law and cousin in.

As soon as he adjusted the staff, he sent a signal to the original kitchen staff that the new head chef was going to replace him, so the old staff left one after another.Two more chopping boards and one lottery table were changed through recruitment.

When Yan Dahu adjusted the staff of hot dishes, he had a conflict with the original cold dish chef and thought of replacing him.Before he could change, the cold dish chef and the remaining chef quit.This was exactly what he wanted, so he called a friend to help introduce the chef and cold dishes.

In the chef's business, if the character is not good, and the work is too stupid, there are few real friends.Yan Dahu had worked in Hohhot for ten years, and he was really not doing well, so when he was looking for someone, he didn't have many people to help him, and some people didn't like to come when they heard that he was in charge of the kitchen.

After searching for a week, I couldn't find anyone, and the cold dishes and the chef left in a hurry, so I couldn't use the original method - posting a job advertisement at the door of the store, and recruiting Master Liu and Baojun.

Baojun, Master Liu and Yan Dahu didn't know each other, and if they did, they probably wouldn't be able to come.

The pastry didn't change, and in Yan Dahu's opinion, the pastry was insignificant, and he didn't make any friends.

In this way, all the old staff in the kitchen have been changed, and it can be regarded as a firm foothold.

After gaining a firm foothold, he felt that the kitchen was already under his control, so he stopped pretending, and acted like one person was under several people, and played awe-inspiring.

Since Zhang Yu has not been in the restaurant for a long time and trusts him, the kitchen staff created an illusion that he is the boss' buddy, and turned a blind eye to his actions.They are all working outside the home. In order to support their families, there is no need to be in harmony.If you do what you want, you can work for a few more days, and if you don’t, you can leave the job. If you look down and don’t see you, it’s not good to be too nervous.

This also fueled Yan Dahu's temper, becoming more arrogant and domineering.

If you don't like it, the waiter just opened his mouth and cursed, and the relationship between the front and back chefs was very tense.At the same time, this person loves to be small, thinking that no one will see him, and secretly goes home to get the seasoning.Sometimes I even cook and pack dishes privately, and take them home for my wife to eat.

The most powerful thing is to eat kickbacks from suppliers, which Lao Tan accidentally discovered.

The next day Lao Tan arrived at the hotel at [-]:[-].

5 minutes after arriving at the store, the vegetable and meat deliverers came.They carried the vegetables and meat to the kitchen, pressed the list onto the chopping block, and left downstairs.

After the two left, Lao Tan habitually picked up the meat list, and began to check the weights according to the weights marked on it.

The list says ten catties for the outer spine, and when you weigh it, it's eight catties and four liang.Old Tan was suspicious, thinking that even if he was short, he couldn't send more than a catty, which was too outrageous.

So I took out the ribs again and weighed them.

The list stated that the ribs were [-] catties and [-] taels, but in reality they were ten catties and eight taels, which was a difference of eight taels.

Lao Tan felt that there was something wrong, so he weighed all the lean meat, pork belly, plum meat, pork liver, pork belly, fatty intestines, etc., all of which were within eight taels to a catty and a half.

The total amount on the list is [-], if calculated according to the actual weight, it should be [-], a difference of [-].

The obvious lack of weight is less than two, and it is extremely serious.

There's something tricky about it.

Who gets one hundred dollars?Is it the meat supplier or—
Of course, no conclusions can be easily drawn without definite evidence.

You have to wait for the kitchen staff to check the weight after they go to work. If you check the weight, you will find that there is a shortage of weight, and you will find the butcher to settle the score.If you don’t check the weight, it means two problems. One is that the employees are lazy and negligent;

Lao Tan checked the weight of the green vegetables after recording the actual weight, and there was no shortage of green vegetables, and some of them were more than one or two.

At [-]:[-], after the kitchen staff arrived, the boss of the chopping board, Yan Dahu's brother-in-law, put away the list without checking the weight at all, and used the raw materials directly.

Needless to say, it was the kitchen that was getting kickbacks, that is, Yan Dahu was getting kickbacks, and others were not so bold.

For three days in a row, every day.An average of 600 yuan of meat per day is 500 yuan according to the actual weight.

And that's just pork, as are lamb and beef.

Lao Tan kept silent, reported the situation to Zhang Yu, and clarified his point of view. The head chef must be replaced, including the people he brought.

Zhang Yu never dreamed that such a thing would happen.

Later, I thought about blaming myself, trusting people too much, and being too careless.Three months ago, Yan Dahu said that the pork was seriously water-injected, and he had to go to the market to choose a good one.At that time, he felt that Yan Dahu was serious and responsible, so he even boasted a few words.

Now it seems that Yan Dahu is looking for a supplier who can give him a kickback.

Pork is like this, beef and mutton can't run away either, and there must be kickbacks.

This is not a head chef, but a house thief.

Zhang Yu was so angry that he quickly finished the business in Ordos and returned to the hotel on the third night.

Without saying a word, he called Lao Tan outside, and the two discussed how to deal with this matter.

Lao Tan said: "This matter is easy to handle, but first you have to decide whether to use Yan Dahu or not."

"Then what's the use, it has to be replaced, not even the salary." Zhang Yu said angrily.

"This has nothing to do with wages. Wages should be paid, and normal fines are enough." Old Tan said.

"Damn it, trust this kid, you never want to fix this for me." Zhang Yu was extremely angry.

"Hey, it's normal. There are people who love children everywhere, and they can't escape a greedy word. It's no use getting angry, let's talk about business." Lao Tan comforted Zhang Yu, and then said: "I called my friend in the provincial capital. Call, ask them to help find two chefs and two cutting boards, and replace Yan Dahu and the others directly when they come over.

In addition, I investigated these two days, Baojun said that Yan Dahu sometimes stole seasoning from home, and Master Liu also said that there was such a thing.We are determined not to use such people, their character is too low. "

"Damn it, raise a thief." Zhang Yu scolded.

"Does our family pay the suppliers once a month?" Old Tan asked.

"Once a month." Zhang Yu said.

"That's easy, let's check the weight together tomorrow morning." Old Tan said.

Zhang Yu said: "The supplier gave it to me, and I know how to fix it. Hmph, what you eat is what you spit out." Then he thumped the table angrily, and said dejectedly: "Damn it, shame on me, the money is not much, The main reason is to be ashamed, and there is no place to save face when you say it, and let the head chef of your own family fool you, and you can still use it as a good person."

"It's nothing to be ashamed of, the main thing is that you don't like people." Old Tan comforted.

Zhang Yu was annoyed for a while and returned to the main story, and said to Lao Tan: "We two brothers have decided this way. You find someone, and if you find someone, call them over, and the travel expenses will be reimbursed. I will arrive at the store early tomorrow morning. You don't have to go. I will take care of it." Something. Your brother Zhang has been in Hohhot all these years for nothing, and he still has a little strength, so I can understand it.

Your task is to contact the chef. The sooner you come, the better. Yan Dahu doesn't want to use it for a day, so it's uncomfortable to watch.Don't worry, if the supplier wants to continue selling goods in the market, he has to spit out the money to me.And the same with that bastard.Listen to you, the salary is paid according to him, and I can't have the same knowledge as him, I still know this. "
