Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

With up to 10,000 hours of cooking time consumed every day, everyone's cooking skills are improving rapidly.

In just 20 days, everyone, including Yan Dabao, felt the changes in themselves.

"Boss, this year's chef qualification exam will adopt new rules. Candidates are not limited to their local residence and can register for the exam at their place of work.

Moreover, the exam is held several times a year. I have already signed up for the exam in August and strive to get the qualification certificate of a top chef. "

Yu Jianxin told Du Shaojie a new piece of news, which was related to the chef grade examination.

Du Shaojie thinks this is a great thing. He may consider implementing promotion rewards within the company. The money won't be too much, but it can be considered as a kind of encouragement.

"I happen to be here. If you have any questions about the exam, you can ask me."

Du Shaojie nodded and went to have tea with Zhou Huai'en.

Zhou Huai'en did not participate in the training during this period. He just tried to give everyone as much guidance as possible on cooking skills, but he did not conduct any special training.

"Master Zhou, I want to become a first-class chef this year. Do you have any advice for me?"

The two came to Du Shaojie's house and sat in the yard, drinking tea leisurely.

Zhou Huai'en sneered when he heard this and said, "With your ability, you can pass it with your eyes closed. Why do you need any guidance? When you strive to become a cooking technician, I will talk to you in detail."

"Okay, even if you don't care about me, you still have to take care of Jianxin and the others, right?"

Du Shaojie was already used to the other person's personality, so he didn't take it seriously and changed the subject.

He knows his own strength, but he is a person who always seeks to be cautious in doing things. Even if he is sure of the outcome, he will still be fully prepared.

Since Zhou Huai'en was too lazy to say more, he could only work hard on his own.

Make sure to make sure that nothing goes wrong.

night.

Du Shaojie took stock of the recent gains and expenditures.

It was a lot of time, 20 hours in just a short period of time. At the same time, 26 dishes recently received a comprehensive evaluation of "exquisite delicacies", which brought him 13000 redemption points and 26 hours.

[Exchange points: 70418 points\278566 points]

【Duration: 74.60 million hours\500.30 million hours】

This year's exam was scheduled several months earlier, so Du Shaojie did not dare to delay. He spent 25000 redemption points and 50 hours to upgrade 50 difficult dishes to the level of "exquisite delicacies" (comprehensive evaluation).

The remaining exchange points and remaining time dropped sharply in an instant, and it’s really hard to afford to spend money.

[Exchange points: 45418 points\278566 points]

【Duration: 24.60 million hours\500.30 million hours】

“Long live graduation!”

Qi Yan finally graduated and also received her registration certificate.

She had a short period of free time during this period as she had only been home during the Chinese New Year, so she simply stayed in Beijing and planned to relax.

"Where do you want to go?"

Du Shaojie had to temporarily stop studying cooking. The other party rarely had a few days of free time, so he should take some time to accompany her.

"We don't have enough time, so let's not go far and just walk around nearby."

Qi Yan'an resisted the urge to travel around the country, and then went to major tourist attractions in and around Beijing with Du Shaojie.

Even though she has been studying here for many years, she has never had a good time.

Suddenly she felt relaxed, and whether it was seeing ancient monuments or mountains and rivers, it made her heart beat fast. To put it bluntly, this was a change in her mentality, but it was a pity that this vacation was too short.

After Du Shaojie waited for the other party to report for work, he originally wanted to stay here for a while, but a call from Huang Tingting made him change his mind.

a few days later.

He returned to Xijiang.

Chen Jizhou met him in the office. Looking at the young man who was growing up step by step under his eyes, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

"Xiao Du, I'm being transferred. The documents have been issued and I'm currently handing over my work. I don't know if there are any changes in the contract, but you have to be mentally prepared."

The transfer was very sudden, and Chen Jizhou had always thought that he would work in this position until retirement.

As a result, there have been major personnel changes recently. Zhai Yucheng was transferred to the Northwest Electric Power Administration, while he went to Beijing to participate in the preparation for the establishment of a large-scale energy group under the ministry.

Huang Yicheng has retired, and Du Shaojie is not familiar with any of the new team members.

"Director Chen, I understand. If it doesn't work out, I will terminate the contract with the bureau. Anyway, I have never defaulted on the contract fees I paid, and I have also provided employment for hundreds of unemployed young people over the years. I am not afraid of anyone finding fault with me."

Du Shaojie knew very well that there would definitely be drastic turmoil in the bureau next.

At this time, cooking skills and so on are of no use, and many things cannot be guessed by common sense. Chen Jizhou asked him to be mentally prepared. According to his judgment, the subsequent development of this matter is not optimistic.

"Okay, it seems you understand. Shaojie, I know a little bit about your situation. Now that you have grown stronger, you have unlimited development. Just do a good job of post-processing."

Chen Jizhou then stopped talking and chatted with Du Shaojie about some past events.

Two days later.

Du Shaojie personally prepared a table of dishes at Xichuan Restaurant and presented them to Chen Jizhou and Zhai Yucheng.

At the same time, he also invited Huang Yicheng. Although he and Huang Yicheng had conflicts, they were all about work, so they did not become enemies.

Now that the other party has retreated, all the grudges have gone with the wind.

"Old Zhai, how long has it been since we last had Xiao Du's cooking? This is exactly what the saying goes, 'When you've been away for three days, you should look at him with new eyes.' This kid's cooking skills are beyond my comprehension."

"Isn't it? Xiao Du, shouldn't you be promoted to a special first-class chef this year?"

Chen Jizhou and Zhai Yucheng ate in unison, but they definitely didn't eat slowly.

As for Huang Yicheng, he didn't say much. He ate a few bites of food and drank a sip of wine, feeling very happy.

"Xiao Du, let's have a drink. Thank you for taking care of Tingting over the years."

It was the first time that Huang Yicheng thanked Du Shaojie for Huang Tingting's matter. He was not actually so ignorant of the ways of the world, he was just a little too old-fashioned when he was in office.

"Tingting married my childhood friend, she is not an outsider, Director Huang, you don't have to be so polite. This year's exam has been moved up, I will register in a while, this time I am indeed taking the special first-class chef level exam."

Du Shaojie responded, but he felt a little heavy in his heart.

This day finally came. He didn't really care whether he could continue to contract the business. The key was what to do with the people who followed him?
Most of the people who followed him were only employees of collective enterprises. This part of people was easy to deal with, and most of them would probably follow him.

But people like Yu Jianxin, Dong Jun, Zhang Yong, Xiao Jianjun and others all have the status of employees of state-owned enterprises and have a stable job, so what will happen next is very uncertain.

Generally speaking, everything has been going well for Du Shaojie in recent years, but he is now facing a major crisis.

However, he did not reveal his inner thoughts, and both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much.

Next, he no longer had time to hone his cooking skills and first talked to Luo Gang.

Luo Gang chose to continue working with Du Shaojie without hesitation. If anything went wrong with the contract, he would resign immediately. He didn't care about the identity of an employee of a collective enterprise at all.

The situation at the [Da Pan Ji] specialty store is a little more complicated. Some people are willing to work with him, while others are reluctant to give up their jobs and actively request to be transferred back to the catering service company.

Based on the actual situation, Du Shaojie cut the Gordian knot and only retained three stores, selling the other three stores as a whole.

Xichuan Restaurant is relatively stable, mainly because the kitchen is stable, and other grassroots employees come and go. He quickly completed the adjustment and tried to minimize the impact of this incident.

"Shaojie, two of my chefs who make Dezhou Braised Chicken have left. Do you think I should recruit people from outside or should you arrange it?"

Su Dapeng was also affected, but it was very minor and he could handle it by himself.

The reason why I went to Du Shaojie's office to say this was simply out of respect for my partner.

"I'll transfer two people over to you. They're both experienced, so you don't have to worry about their skill level."

Du Shaojie smiled and said casually.

He actually doesn't care much about small businesses like [Dezhou Braised Chicken] now, and basically rarely asks about it. He has been doing this until today just to take care of the feelings of his childhood friend and his mother Wang Yuxiu.

The recipe is in my mother's hands, and the income is also in my mother's hands. In fact, she is the real boss.

"I heard Tingting talk about the contracting. Don't worry. If her family didn't stop her, she would have quit her job and worked with you. But I'm not short of money. If her family wants to live a stable life, then let them do it."

Later, Su Dapeng tactfully expressed his attitude, saying that Huang Tingting would not resign for the time being.

Du Shaojie nodded and it was nothing. Whether Huang Tingting resigned or not had little impact on him. The key was not on her.

So he came back and stayed for only a week before setting off on his journey again.

Some things cannot be explained clearly over the phone, so he went straight to meet Yu Jianxin, Dong Jun, Xiao Jianjun, Zhang Yong, Bai Cheng, Feng Bin, Zhang Yufei, Chu Linlin and others and had a frank talk with everyone.

As a result, Dong Jun, Xiao Jianjun and others were determined to stay and work with Du Shaojie, only Yu Jianxin and Zhang Yong were somewhat hesitant.

He expected Yu Jianxin and Zhang Yong to hesitate, but the only one who was a bit surprised was Dong Jun. Dong Jun and his wife were both in Chengdu, and they both had the status of state-owned enterprise employees, but they didn't care.

Everyone knows Zhang Yong's situation. He has worked in the unit for most of his life and now suddenly says he wants to resign. His hesitation and confusion are understandable.

As for Yu Jianxin, he himself is willing to stay in Beijing, but unfortunately his wife is unwilling. In the end it depends on who can convince the other.

Du Shaojie is now extremely grateful for his talent training program. The people he recruited in Chengdu are now almost capable of taking on important responsibilities.

However, he lacks management talent, and this shortcoming will be difficult to make up for in the short term.

After a long journey, Du Shaojie finally returned to Xijiang.

Chen Jizhou and others had already left, and the new official had three fires to start. Many people who opposed private contracting took this opportunity to launch an attack on Du Shaojie. (End of this chapter)
