Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 159 Selling Breakfast

"Let's talk about going to Hong Kong later. How can we have time now? As for studying abroad, what do you think, Sister Liwen?"

"Of course I want to pursue further studies, but I can't bear to spend other people's money. I want Yu Mo to get the study abroad arrangements first. When we get there, I will try my best to get a scholarship and try to trouble others as little as possible."

Wang Liwen has her own pride. She knows that Yu Mo did this to repay his kindness, but she cannot enjoy all this with peace of mind.

But studying abroad has a great appeal to her. There is still a considerable gap between the current medical level in China and that in foreign countries. She really wants to see the advanced foreign technology. After all, she is also a person who loves to learn.

There is only one thing I can't let go of, and that is Du Shaojie.

"Sister Liwen, I don't want you to leave, but my mind tells me that your choice is right. I hope you can come back soon after you finish your studies, so that we can meet often again."

Du Shaojie felt that every time Yu Mo appeared, something big would happen. Look, Wang Liwen was about to be tricked by him to the other side of the ocean.

But this deception is definitely beneficial. If you study abroad for a master's degree or even a doctorate in medicine, you will be considered a high-end talent no matter where you are in the future, and your future will be bright.

Even though he was reluctant, he still expressed his support.

"Shaojie."

Wang Liwen was so excited that she rushed over and hugged Du Shaojie.

"I will never get married in my life, and I will never have another man. I'm going to study abroad, you have to take good care of yourself! Wait for me, I will definitely come back."

"Be careful when you go abroad. If you encounter financial difficulties, tell me and I will find a way."

It was almost time to go to work when Du Shaojie left Wang Liwen's residence.

He knew that the other party's study abroad was basically settled, and as long as Yu Mo was willing to contribute, there would be no problem.

Since last year, the Ministry of Public Security has resumed the approval of applications for self-funded study abroad, encouraging qualified individuals to go to developed Western countries to learn advanced technology and management experience.

It is very difficult to get a government-sponsored study abroad. According to incomplete statistics, there were only 1978 government-sponsored students in 200. If you think about how many people in the country are competing for these 200 places, you will understand how difficult it is.

It is not easy to study abroad at your own expense these days. There is a huge gap between the income and living standards at home and abroad. How many families can afford the high cost of studying abroad?

Fortunately, there is Yu Mo.

"Manager Du, Manager Yao asked you to go to his office."

As I walked into the snack bar, Dong Jun came forward to greet me.

Then tell Du Shaojie that Yao Liwen is looking for him.

"Yes, I'll go right away. Brother Dong, is everything fine at work?"

"It's okay, everything is normal. Today's [Spicy Chicken] sold very well, so I asked them to work overtime and make some more at noon."

Dong Jun is basically in charge of the daily work of the snack bar. Du Shaojie focuses on the big things and lets go of the small things, so he has less time than when he was working in the Chinese restaurant.

As a manager, he held the same position as the head chef of a Chinese restaurant and both were under the leadership of Yao Liwen. When his leader asked him to go, he did not dare to neglect it and went to the office immediately.

"Manager Yao, you're looking for me?"

"Please sit down first. I have something to tell you."

He knocked on the door and walked into Yao Liwen's office. The other party pointed to a chair and asked Du Shaojie to sit down and talk.

"The bureau wants the snack bar to take in more unemployed young people. This is Director Chen's idea. Master Du, in your opinion, how many more people can the snack bar take in?"

Yao Liwen didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

After the snack bar opened, business was booming, and almost everyone was busy. The bureau felt that the situation was good, so it prepared to continue to send people to the snack bar.

The current situation is that stability overrides everything, and it is particularly important to solve the employment problems of as many employees' children as possible.

As for corporate benefits, no one thinks much about it.

"Twenty at most. I can't arrange for more than that."

Du Shaojie knew that the other party was not discussing with him, and Yao Liwen had no say in such matters, so he would ultimately have to do as the bureau wished.

So he didn't bother to talk too much and just said a number.

Whether or not you are willing to obey the bureau's arrangements is a matter of attitude, and how many people you can accept is a technical issue. The two cannot be compared.

"Okay! I'll talk to the bureau, you go ahead and do your work."

Yao Liwen was very happy. He liked Du Shaojie's straightforwardness.

Why did he take down Wang Xuejun in the end? It was because no matter what he assigned to the other party, he always emphasized the difficulty first and did not take responsibility. No leader would like that kind of person.

Du Shaojie returned to the snack bar and went into his office.

As the manager of the snack bar, he has a separate office. It is not large, less than 20 square meters, but it is a private space after all.

Later, he called in Dong Jun, Huang Tingting and Xiao Jianjun.

These people are the backbone of the snack bar today, and they cannot be avoided in anything.

"The bureau asked us to take in another group of unemployed young people, but currently all positions are basically full. Do you have any good suggestions?" Du Shaojie got straight to the point and wanted to hear everyone's views on this matter.

It turned out that he was overthinking it. These people were good at doing specific work, but when it came to this kind of thing, they had no opinions.

In fact, including Dong Jun, everyone was somewhat resistant to the bureau's arrangements, but they did not dare to say it out loud.

"Well, let's make breakfast from now on. Xiao Jianjun, you should study this aspect more recently. From now on, you will be responsible for breakfast and be the foreman.

Huang Tingting, you will be responsible for the production of [Spicy Chicken] and other snacks. Master Dong will be responsible for the production of [Big Plate Chicken Belt Noodles] and other cold dishes, and assist me in management work. "

Du Shaojie then told them about his plan to add breakfast items and divided the work among several people.

In addition to the few of them, the snack bar is currently lacking a noodle chef, and the existing ramen chef is obviously not capable of taking on this responsibility. He couldn't help but think of Qin Xiaomei from the farm. Although she was not good at cooking, she was still very good at making noodles.

No one had any objection. Although making breakfast was hard work, the market potential was huge, and if it was done well, it would be another profit growth point.

The main reason is that breakfast can attract a lot of people, which can just solve the disadvantages caused by the rapid increase in employees.

Du Shaojie agreed to continue accepting unemployed young people, and the next day, the labor service agency sent 20 young people.

Among them are men and women, all of them are young. We don’t know if there are any troublemakers among them, and there is no need to know. Anyway, they will not be given the opportunity to make trouble.

"I have a few words to say. When you come to work at the snack bar, you must abide by the rules and regulations and obey the arrangements. If you violate them, you will be warned once, and you will be fired the second time. You will go back to where you came from.

I don't care who you are from, I treat you all equally, don't challenge my patience. Now the leaders of each team will select people, train them on the job, and evaluate them after one month."

Du Shaojie called a short meeting with the new young people, and then dispersed the personnel and assigned them to various teams.

Of course, the breakfast shift has the most manpower allocated to it.

He and Dong Jun discussed and decided that the variety of breakfast could be reduced for the time being and then increased gradually.

The current breakfast varieties include tofu pudding, fried dough sticks, sugar-coated fruits, fried cakes, vegetarian buns, flower rolls, steamed buns, porridge, soy milk, pickles, etc. There are not many varieties, but once they were launched, the response was quite good.

The money earned from breakfast is hard-earned. Xiao Jianjun's team starts working in the middle of the night and gets off work in the morning.

I originally thought that the young people assigned to the breakfast team would complain about the hard work, but I didn’t expect that people from other teams would be willing to join the breakfast team, saying that the early shift offered more flexibility.

"elder brother"

At noon, Xiaoya ran straight to find Du Shaojie after school.

Du Shaojie ordered a staff meal, bought a bowl of cold noodles, and then returned home with his sister.

Xiaoya said she wanted to eat cold noodles today, but he was too lazy to make any more effort for such a small thing, so he decided to buy some ready-made noodles.

"Brother, don't be angry when I tell you that the cold noodles sold in your snack bar are slightly inferior to the ones you make yourself."

Xiaoya was eating and commenting on the food.

This little foodie has a very strong ability to distinguish the flavors of various delicacies and can even taste some subtle changes.

"Nonsense! Eat your meal quickly. Take a rest after you finish. You still have classes in the afternoon."

Du Shaojie smiled and knocked on the table. Xiaoya made a face and stopped talking.

In fact, what Xiaoya said was not wrong. Although the cold noodles in the snack bar were made according to Du Shaojie's seasoning ratio, there was still a little difference after all, but most people could not notice it.

After dinner, Du Shaojie opened the cabinet and gave Xiaoya the Casio calculator that Yu Mo had given him.

Xiaoya jumped for joy and then went back into her room.

Wang Yuxiu stopped coming home for lunch after the holidays. Du Shaojie would either cook something for his sister or just eat at a snack bar, which didn't cost much anyway.

After class in the evening, Xiaoya usually goes back to the old house. She has a monthly ticket, so it is very convenient to take the bus, and she doesn't waste much time on the road.

Wang Yuxiu has now completely mastered the production process of [Dezhou Braised Chicken] and often helps Su Dapeng with the production in the afternoons and evenings. Sometimes on holidays and weekends, the two of them can cook hundreds or eighty chickens.

Su Dapeng could no longer hold back and planned to talk to Du Shaojie about opening a second store.

A few days passed quickly.

When it was Su Dapeng's birthday, the other party planned to invite some people to have fun together.

The snack bar closes early in the evening, and basically closes after the evening peak. It is busier during breakfast and lunch, and mainly sells [pepper and sesame chicken] in the afternoon, and leaves after it sells out.

Chinese restaurants and snack bars are typically operated in a staggered manner, with strong complementarity and basically no conflict.

"Manager Du, are you going to celebrate Dapeng's birthday tonight? He also called me and Jianjun, shall we go together later?"

As it was almost time to get off work in the evening, Huang Tingting walked into Du Shaojie's office and asked with a smile.

Su Dapeng is very familiar with Huang Tingting, Xiao Jianjun, Deng Li, Gao Guoqiang, Yang Li and others. You can't deny it. This guy is a "social expert" who can get along well with anyone.

Perhaps because of Du Shaojie's connections in the snack bar, he is closer to Huang Tingting and Xiao Jianjun.
