The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 92 Returning to the Kanto Family
Lao Tan's arrival surprised everyone.

"Boss, why did you go to Hohhot?" Li Shuang asked curiously.

Lao Tan briefly explained to everyone why he went to Hohhot.

"What? Yang Zhijun went to Hohhot? I haven't seen this kid for two years." Li Shuang said, and then asked: "Is he still single? Not married?"

"No." Old Tan said.

When they were in Binhai, Yang Zhijun and Li Shuang were enemies, unless they didn't see each other, they would pinch each other.But the two have a good relationship and always sneak out to drink.

Lao Tan asked about the situation in the store, and Li Shuang and Hua Qing reported.

The dumpling restaurant is on the right track, with stable products, stable customer source, good reputation, and everything is going well.

Li Shuang and her husband Xiao Gao both work here, and now they are like a newly married couple, loving each other very much.

Only after experiencing it will people understand what is cherished, what is a husband and wife, what is a family, and what is life.We can do whatever we want, or we can be desperate, but we must think about whether it is worth it before doing it.

When people do not really understand the meaning of life and the importance of family, everything they do is immature. Only after understanding will they cherish and understand themselves.

We all continue to grow through experience after experience, and only after we understand how valuable are we can live like individuals.

Wang Hong and Fang Jianjun are developing very well, and they have already gone out to rent a house alone.Seeing that old Tan Wanghong was still the same as before, Fang Jianjun was a little embarrassed and blushed.

Old Tan was very happy after knowing the situation of the two of them, and told Wang Hong not to bully Fang Jianjun.

"Bully him? He still bullies, I have to be honest as soon as I stare." Wang Hong glanced at Fang Jianjun and said domineeringly.

Fang Jianjun was also honest, smiling quietly, with a happy expression on his face.

Love really knows no borders and ages, and it is not exclusive to young people. It is also owned by middle-aged people, and it really comes.

People cannot live without love, it can make people full of passion, make the dead alive, and make the living more brilliant.

At any time, it is mysterious and sacred, with the fragrance of flowers and the intoxication of wine, which makes people excited, novel and full of love for life.

Without love, life would be dull and nothing that exists would find value.

Lao Tan chatted with everyone for a while, then arrived at the restaurant and began to serve guests.

Yanhua greeted Lao Tan to the small private room, and Yanzi came over after a while.

Yanzi has been in poor health for the past two days. She went to the hospital for an examination and said it was a gynecological disease, and she was taking medicine.The whole person looked listless and weak.

It was a coincidence that Lao Feng, Li Wanshan and the people from the village went to Qingdao for a trip and came back in more than ten days.In the past few days, Yanzi has been at home by herself, and there is no one around to wait on her. Meals are delivered by the waiter.

Yanhua went to see her yesterday and saw that she was a little better, so she called her today to tell her that Lao Tan is here, otherwise she would not have told her.

Not long after the three of them sat down, Chuancai brought up two dishes, two servings of dumplings, and two jugs of health-preserving wine.

Due to poor health, Yanzi couldn't sit still, and felt uncomfortable after sitting for a while, so she went back after eating a few dumplings.

"It's serious to see her like this," Old Tan said.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just inflammation, and it will be fine after a few days of infusion. The main reason is that her kidneys are not good, her back hurts, and she gets sick together, and no one can bear it," Yanhua said.

"What happened to the kidney?" Old Tan asked.

"I have nephritis, and I still have stones. If the stones hurt, I will die. I depend on her that it's not serious, or I won't be able to get up." Yanhua said.

"Then it needs to be cured, and Lao Feng still travels like this?" Lao Tan was a little annoyed.

Yanhua explained: "She was not sick when Lao Feng left. She was like a good person. On the second day after Lao Feng left, she started to get sick and didn't tell Lao Feng. These two days are much better. came back."

"Oh." Old Tan nodded.

Yanhua picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, we haven't had a drink for a long time, let's have a good drink today."

When Yanhua first appeared in front of us, she was a standard housewife, washing and cooking at home every day, cleaning up the housework, and serving her husband.At that time, she was looking for a job because she was bored and to pass the time, not to earn much money, but to find something to do for herself.

The restaurant has been open for more than a year, and the appearance of Yanhua who appears in front of us has not changed, she is still the gentle and kind woman before.But when he looked closely, he was different, his face was full of confidence, and he already looked like a boss.

This is also normal.

After Lao Tan left, she took care of most of the restaurants.Buying goods, collecting accounts, communicating with the front and back kitchens, paying employees' wages, paying utility bills, communicating with wine merchants, etc. are all in her daily charge, and she has unknowingly trained herself to be a qualified boss.

Swallows also manage restaurants, which are relatively few.It's not that she doesn't care, it's just because of her personality, she doesn't pay much attention to some details, or she is a careless person.

Yanhua never argues with Yanzi that you have more and I have less, this is also due to her personality.Swallow is more arrogant, she is calm; Swallow 3 minutes is passionate, but she is persistent.

She is the first to arrive at the store every day, and she is busy all day long. This kind of busy life makes her feel more fulfilled than ever before.It seems that I have found the direction and goal of life, and I also understand the value of life while I am busy.

Yes, the value of life.

This was something she hadn't even thought about before, but she felt it all of a sudden, and it was very strong.

Sometimes a person's growth has little to do with the education he receives.When a person realizes that he cannot live a lifetime in vain, he will involuntarily make himself stronger, and be full of confidence and hope in life.Often this is a sign of a person's real maturity.

Now Yanhua and Lao Tan chat freely, laughing happily from time to time.This didn't happen before, it was just Lao Tan saying she listened, occasionally nodding in approval, and then smiling.

Although she doesn't talk too much now, she is definitely not lacking in language. When she talks about restaurants, she has her own opinions and ideas, and she can even argue with Lao Tan, which surprised and delighted Lao Tan.

The two chatted happily and drank happily. This was the happiest communication between them.

On the third day after Lao Tan came back, Mr. Xu from the Guandong family asked him to stay in his office.

Knowing why Mr. Xu was looking for him, Lao Tan planned it this way.Now it manages three restaurants, Dumpling Restaurant, Sister Yuan Restaurant, and Zhang Yu Restaurant, with a monthly income of 4000 yuan, which is fully enough for basic living needs.

These three stores are run by their own people, so don't worry too much.The only inconvenience is that the three stores are too scattered, one in the provincial capital, one in Ganqika, and one in Hohhot, and the front line is too long.

At the same time, he knows that he has not reached the level of those management masters and culinary celebrities, and he can eat with his reputation.But if you want to make more money, you can only take the road of management.It will be a bit harder at the beginning, and it will be easier when the management becomes famous. At that time, there will be many people looking for me.

Like the fourth child, he is now the production director of a well-known catering group in the provincial capital, and also the chef of an old restaurant. In addition to the salary of the chef, there are other store management fees every month. The income is not cheap. Small restaurants make money.

Compared with the fourth brother, Lao Tan does not have the support of a catering group and can only develop on his own.

Hard work, just because of love and reality.

After three years of development, the Guandong family has now opened up in the provincial capital. It is a relatively well-known farmhouse with bright prospects.As long as any restaurant can persist, it can survive for more than three years, and it has also been recognized by the common people.

This is how the Kanto people are.

If you don't consider the unpleasantness of the first cooperation, in the eyes of Lao Tan, this is a relatively good company with cooperation value.

Of course, being able to come and talk to Mr. Xu was also moved by Mr. Xu's sincerity, and Zhang Li was also credited for making peace.

Mr. Xu first said frankly: "I won't talk about the past, I made a mistake in judgment, took a detour, and made people laugh. I sincerely hope that you can come back and we can cooperate again."

That's right, the past is over, not to mention just laughing away at the grudges, they are all sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, there is no need to worry too much.

"If I remember the past, I won't come." Old Tan smiled, and then said seriously: "Before the cooperation, there is a situation that I would like to tell you in advance. I am hosting three restaurants now. I can't take those restaurants when I come to our house." The three families left it alone."

Mr. Xu didn't know that Lao Tan was hosting the three restaurants, so he couldn't help but think about it when he heard what Lao Tan said.Because this means that it is impossible for Lao Tan to devote all his time to the management of his own store, and he has to spare time to manage the other three stores.

Old Tan didn't bother Mr. Xu, anyone should consider this matter.

After a while, Mr. Xu asked: "Do you have to go to those three stores for a few days every month?"

Old Tan said: "It's almost like, if you have something to do, you don't have to go. Now the three stores are running very well, and if it's not a big problem, you can solve it by phone."

"That's okay, I can accept and understand this." Mr. Xu thought for a while and said.

Old Tan said politely, "Thank you."

Mr. Xu smiled embarrassedly, and said, "You're welcome, it's okay to earn more money."

"Should I still be in charge of the kitchen when I come back?" Old Tan asked.

"Well, I'm mainly in charge of the kitchen. I'm the executive chef. Wang Gang is also the head chef. But this time, Mr. Tan, you have to take charge of the front desk. Zhang Li and you are old partners. You two can cooperate without any problem." Mr. Xu Say.

"Okay." Tan agreed, and then asked: "Mr. Xu, let's discuss. How much do you plan to sell our house every month?"

"Of course, the more the better." President Xu said with a smile, "2 million a month is enough, and 4 thousand [-] million a year."

Lao Tan calculated it in his mind, and made a good deal of loose sales and reserved seats, 2 million per month is no problem, but it will take three months.So he said: "In this case, Mr. Xu, the first three months are not counted. I will do the basic work, starting from the fourth month. For a period of one year, I will give you 4 million."

Mr. Xu looked at Lao Tan in shock, and Lao Tan gave him a confident smile, and then said, "Tell me, how much is my salary?"

"Eight thousand, how about eight thousand?" President Xu hurriedly said.

"That's eight thousand, as long as you think it's appropriate. Let's talk about the ugliness first, and the villain first. After I take over, I hope no one will interfere with my management. Even if I make a mistake, I will bear the consequences myself, and no one is allowed to say three things." Road [-]. Also, the policies we have discussed will be fully implemented, and we should not give up halfway.

I want to have the right to raise salaries and benefits for employees. We have to spend the money we should spend on team building and employee treatment, and we can't be petty.

The management is all under my control, including the front desk. There is 2000 yuan per month for study funds, and I decide how to study.At the same time, the management personnel are assessed, and the qualified ones are used, and the unqualified ones are replaced.That is to say, I must have the power of life and death, otherwise I cannot manage it. "

Lao Tan stated his request bluntly.

Mr. Xu laughed after listening to it, and said to Old Tan: "Master Tan, if this is the first time between us, I promise not to agree. Now that I have grown up, only those who concentrate on their work will make these requests. Agree, All agreed."
