Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

early spring.

Du Shaojie went to Chengdu alone by train.

The incident at Zhong Fuxiang Hotpot Restaurant has gone beyond the incident itself, and the aftershocks continue.

But these things had nothing to do with Du Shaojie. Few people knew the role he played in the whole thing. He also left the area quickly as if nothing had happened.

These days, opportunities and dangers coexist. If you are not careful, you will be eaten up without leaving anything behind.

After arriving in Chengdu, Du Shaojie called Xiao Jianjun and asked about Zhong Fuxiang's situation in Shenzhen.

"Boss, Master Zhong has arrived here and is settling down near the Seafood Restaurant. He recently found a storefront and is currently renovating it. It is expected to open early next month."

Zhong Fuxiang and others left Xijiang and headed south to Shenzhen.

He had accumulated some wealth over the years, and with the additional cash from the sale of the hotpot restaurant, it was more than enough for him to open a store in Shenzhen.

The key is whether the business can be successful. If the business is not good, no amount of money can fill the bottomless pit of losses.

"Okay, if you need any help, I'll be there soon."

Du Shaojie didn't say much. He had already fulfilled his responsibilities as a friend, and the rest depended on Zhong Fuxiang himself.

It has been raining continuously in Chengdu these days, so he prepared some medicinal food himself, the main effect of which is to remove dampness and cold. After eating it for a few days, he felt much better, and it seems that the effect is quite good.

Then he recommended these medicinal foods to Dong Jun, Yi Chunmei and others, and the responses were good.

[Xichuan Restaurant] has firmly established itself in Chengdu and its business is booming.

"Boss Du, you are not only an excellent cook, but also a good businessman. I really envy you. My school is so shabby and it's a mess. Do you have any good ideas? Or you can invest some money in me."

in the afternoon.

Yi Chunmei and Yang Li brought some fruits and came to Du Shaojie's house.

Yang Li now works at a chef training school. Her salary is not high, but relatively speaking, there is not much work to do.

Today, Du Shaojie invited Dong Jun's family and Yi Chunmei to his home for dinner. Dong Jun also arrived later with the children. After the food was served, everyone started chatting while eating.

Yi Chunmei is quick and decisive in her work and is loyal. She has a good relationship with Du Shaojie, Dong Jun and others.

She watched Xichuan Restaurant go from being a place with no customers to a place with many customers, and she was extremely envious. However, her own chef training school had hardly made any major progress due to insufficient investment.

So she tried to find out if there was any possibility of in-depth cooperation with the other party.

“It all depends on everyone’s help.”

Du Shaojie smiled. It was difficult to respond to this sentence, so he could only laugh it off.

At this moment, a prompt sound suddenly came in his mind.

【Ding! 】

[Task: Talent is the cornerstone of development. To bind a chef, you need to invest in a chef training school, with a shareholding of no less than 40% and no less than 30 students enrolled within 100 days.]

[Reward: 2 redemption points, random gift pack (x1)]

[Penalty: If the task is not completed within the specified time, no rewards will be obtained within three months.]

Note 1: The task lead time is three days, and the task countdown officially starts after three days.

"Are you asking me to invest in a chef training school?"

Du Shaojie had no intention of doing business with others, even though Sister Yi was a very nice person. He was mainly afraid of trouble. If doing business with others didn't go well, they might end up falling out, so why bother?
But the mission was released suddenly, and after weighing the pros and cons, he finally decided to accept it.

Yi Chunmei finished her words, but what she got was Du Shaojie's perfunctory response. She probably understood his attitude. Although she was disappointed, she did not show it.

For this kind of thing, success or failure is normal and will not affect the relationship between the two parties.

Just when she had given up hope, she heard Du Shaojie speak again: "Sister Yi, I may not be able to help you with other things, but if you want to find a partner and increase investment, I would be happy to help."

"what?"

Yi Chunmei was a little confused and thought she had heard it wrong.

"I can invest in you, but we need to discuss the specific conditions in detail later."

Du Shaojie said it again with a smile, and the expression on Yi Chunmei's face changed from surprise to ecstasy.

But this was obviously not a good time to talk about this, so she turned around and started chatting with Yang Li about family matters, and the atmosphere on the scene became relaxed again.

Dong Jun didn't say anything. It was not his place to comment on the boss's decision. In fact, he thought it was good for Du Shaojie to own a chef training school, which would be beneficial to the overall development of Xichuan Restaurant.

the next day.

Du Shaojie came to Yi Chunmei's office and everyone began to discuss the details of the investment.

After two days of back and forth, the two finally reached an agreement. Du Shaojie invested 30 yuan, accounting for 40% of the shares, and Yang Li participated in the management on his behalf.

At present, the Company Law has not been officially issued and there is no need to go through the change procedures.

This is also an important reason why Du Shaojie is unwilling to do business with others. If the law is not sound, the interests of each party cannot be effectively protected. However, as long as Yi Chunmei is not stupid, she will not have any crooked ideas. After all, the gains do not outweigh the losses. Next, Du Shaojie formulated the [Xichuan Restaurant] employee training plan. From now on, all stores, except for the head chef, will rotate the kitchen staff to receive training in Chengdu.

Relying on Liao Yongxin's reputation, Du Shaojie invited several retired top chefs to teach students at the school, and even included his own resume in the school's admission brochure.

The school currently has sufficient funds, and Yi Chunmei discussed with him and decided to place some appropriate advertisements.

The results came out quickly, and with the training staff from Du Shaojie's side, the number of registered students reached 62.

These students were divided into three classes: beginner class, advanced class, and refresher class. All the staff from various Xichuan Restaurant branches who came to receive training were in the refresher class.

morning.

Du Shaojie is giving a lecture to students in the advanced training class. The 21 students from five stores are listening very attentively.

"Each dish has its own style, and each dish has its own flavor. Sichuan cuisine is known for its rich, wide-ranging, and deep flavors. It is fresh, mellow, and rich, and is good at adjusting spicy and spicy flavors. These are the distinctive features of Sichuan cuisine that distinguish it from other cuisines.

As a result, Sichuan cuisine has become popular all over the world and its flavors have intoxicated people from all over the world. In particular, the 24 complex flavors of Sichuan cuisine are like the stars in the legendary heaven, each with its own strengths, responsibilities, and abilities.

In today's class, Du Shaojie mainly talked to the students about the seasoning of Sichuan cuisine.

The so-called complex flavor refers to two or more different flavors that are skillfully blended into a new flavor with multiple flavors.

For example, home-style flavor, red oil flavor, fish flavor, strange flavor, spicy flavor, spicy flavor, pepper flavor, pepper and salt flavor, sour and spicy flavor, sweet and spicy flavor, sauce flavor, wine flavor, tomato juice flavor, tangerine peel flavor, etc.

“Now I will demonstrate seasoning.”

Du Shaojie spoke for more than half an hour and then started to practice.

Being a chef is a hands-on job. Theoretical knowledge alone is not enough; practical experience is a must.

The students like to listen to Du Shaojie's lectures, not only because he has extremely rich theoretical knowledge, but also because he can explain things in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

Moreover, watching him practice is a kind of enjoyment, a double enjoyment for the eyes and the taste buds.

The class was over in a flash, and then Jiang Shangyu, a retired employee of Rongcheng Catering Company and a first-class chef, gave a lecture to the training class.

Chef Jiang is very skilled, but his health has not been good in recent years, so he has not continued to contribute his talents in the kitchen.

Out of respect for Master Liao Yongxin, he accepted the invitation from the chef training school to teach the students.

Jiang Shangyu is very enthusiastic about training successors to Sichuan cuisine.

"Boss Du, listening to your lectures is such a pleasure. It's a pity that you can only come as a guest speaker occasionally, otherwise the number of applicants to our school could at least double."

Yi Chunmei felt that she should not have taken over this shabby school in the first place. She had finally realized that her connections in this industry were too shallow and she could not invite a true god.

Look at Boss Du, who, after getting involved, invited several top chefs to give lectures at once. She is full of confidence in future development.

"You are right. I not only like to study cooking, but also like to give lectures. While imparting knowledge to others, I am also sorting out what I have learned. It is very interesting."

Du Shaojie laughed and went to the registration office.

This morning, four more beginners came to sign up, and he nodded with satisfaction. The number of registered students increased to 66, which was a very fast progress.

At noon, I ordered a [Casserole Pork Intestine] on the street, and it tasted very good.

Then he went home and called Wang Liwen.

Wang Liwen was doing well in Hong Kong and had become a key member of the hospital. The other party was obviously a workaholic and did not even go home for the Spring Festival this year.

"You should take care of yourself when you are out here alone. I will come to Hong Kong to see you later."

The two chatted for more than half an hour before Du Shaojie hung up.

He then took a short nap, and when he got up he went into the simulated scene to hone his cooking skills.

He felt that he was only one step away from breaking through the ceiling of his cooking skills, but this step, although seemingly within reach, was extremely difficult to take.

Fortunately, he is not in a hurry. Perhaps one day an inspiration will come to him and he will take this step.

In the afternoon, when Du Shaojie got off work, he came to the chef training school again. There was a stall in front of the school, mainly selling snacks and stir-fried dishes.

This matter was proposed by Du Shaojie. The main force is the students in the advanced and continuing education classes, while the students in the beginner classes can only help out and broaden their horizons at the same time.

Setting up the stall in front of the school is to train students, not to make money. All food is sold at cost price, which is relatively low.

There are still many customers willing to patronize.

"Master Jiang, you haven't gone back to rest yet?"

Du Shaojie walked closer and suddenly saw Jiang Shangyu.

Jiang Shangyu had actually gotten off work a long time ago, and there was no need for him to personally supervise the stall, but I didn't expect him to be here.

"I went home to take a nap this afternoon, and I didn't have anything to do at home, so I came over to take a look. Besides, aren't you, Boss Du, the same?"

Jiang Shangyu laughed and seemed very free and easy.

He definitely didn't come to teach at the school for that little salary. (End of this chapter)
