Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

"Hmm? Is what Mikoto said true?"

Du Shaojie originally thought that Liang Meiqin was joking, but after a while, when he didn't hear Xiaomei's answer, his brows immediately frowned.

In fact, Du Xiaomei is already studying for a master's degree, so there is nothing wrong with her having a relationship, but he is subconsciously a little wary.

His mentality is somewhat similar to that of the "old father".

"No, no. There were people in school who wanted to pursue me, but I didn't like any of them, let alone have a romantic relationship with them."

Xiaomei saw her brother frowning and quickly shook her head to deny it.

To be honest, she was still very afraid of Du Shaojie in her heart.

"Xiaomei, your brother is not against you dating, but he is worried that you will put your trust in the wrong person. If you meet the right person, you can still consider it, but don't hide it from your family, and you have to learn to protect yourself."

Liang Meiqin quickly tried to smooth things over, saying that some things should be done too much or too little.

"I know, Mikoto-san. Brother, don't worry, if I were in a relationship, I wouldn't hide it from you."

Xiaomei quickly responded, and Du Shaojie's expression improved.

In fact, Xiaomei is a very smart girl. She guessed that Liang Meiqin might know something. The other party didn't want to talk behind her back, so asking in person was also a way to give herself a way out.

Before, Du Xiaomei was close to a boy, but after getting to know him better, she felt that he was unreliable, so she distanced herself from him.

She didn't tell her family about this.

Then, the atmosphere became relaxed again.

Xiaomei sat for an hour or so and then returned to school.

after a few days.

The contestants sent by each store arrived in Guangzhou.

Du Shaojie discussed it with Zhou Huai'en, and the other party agreed to serve as the team leader and lead everyone to participate in the competition.

He himself did not sign up in the end because Su Dapeng called and said that Wang Yuxiu accidentally fell. Although it was not a big problem, he was worried and immediately bought a plane ticket and flew back to Xijiang.

"I'm fine. You came all the way back here."

Wang Yuxiu just sprained her foot, no broken bones or anything, so it wasn't serious.

But Du Shaojie was worried, so he persuaded his mother to go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination. The results were good, Wang Yuxiu was fine except for her chronic illness.

"Mom, don't worry about business matters. Leave everything to Dapeng in the future. Can't you just wait for the dividends in peace? You can hang out with old friends when you have time, or go to Yangcheng to play for a while."

Du Shaojie was determined this time and would never let his mother run around like before.

If you are bored at home, you can chat with friends, drink tea, eat, or develop some hobbies.

"I won't go to Yangcheng. I promise you that I will try to stay out of business matters in the future."

Wang Yuxiu knew that her son had become successful and the family was not short of money, so she chose to compromise.

From now on, Su Dapeng will be fully responsible for the affairs of [Dezhou Braised Chicken]. She will just go and take a look when she is free, but basically she will not be in charge of anything.

night.

Du Shaojie took some local specialties he brought back and went to Su Dapeng's house.

It turned out that the yard now belongs to Su Dapeng and his wife, and his family has moved out.

"My father was allocated an apartment by his workplace, and this yard was given to me."

Su Dapeng asked Huang Tingting to prepare some dishes while he and Du Shaojie had a few drinks.

Du Shaojie noticed that Huang Tingting's body shape was a little different and thought she might be pregnant, so he stopped her.

"Don't bother, I'll just sit for a while and then leave. Come over to my place for a drink tomorrow."

Su Dapeng did not insist. The two chatted about business and then talked about the recent situation of the snack bar.

Now the situation of the snack bar is getting worse and worse. After Huang Tingting resigned, the bureau asked Dong Yunxian to be in charge of the work of the snack bar, which was actually an exile.

Du Shaojie sighed incessantly, he had developed the snack bar bit by bit, and he still felt a little heartbroken to see it end up like this.

"Shaojie, I want to make [Spicy Chicken] at the same time, what do you think?"

Su Dapeng has been working hard over the years and has accumulated certain strength.

Now that his wife is pregnant and their children are about to be born, he has a new direction to work towards.

Du Shaojie shook his head and said, "It's pointless to keep fighting like this. I'll think about it and talk to you in detail later."

After sitting for more than half an hour, he stood up and said goodbye.

Over the years, the cooperation between Du Shaojie and Su Dapeng has always been very good. Su Dapeng's ability may not be very strong, but he is down-to-earth and reliable, and his loyalty to Du Shaojie is unquestionable.

the next day.

Du Shaojie cooked a table of dishes at home and invited Su Dapeng and his family to have a meal.

Su Dapeng's father pointed at the dishes on the table and said:
"When I was doing purchasing, I traveled all over the country, but I never had such delicious dishes. Shaojie, you are really amazing now. I can eat the dishes you cook because of Dapeng's help."

"Look at what you said. Let's not talk about Dapeng. Our two families are also very good neighbors."

The dinner was a great success. Su Dapeng's parents and Huang Tingting went home first. Du Shaojie and Su Dapeng did not move, drinking and talking about things. "Dapeng, I think we should promote Northwest snacks to the whole country, and stop thinking about small things."

Du Shaojie gave the other party an example of some snacks, such as [cold noodles], [cold skin], [roujiamo], [grilled lamb skewers], [spicy lamb trotters], [mutton noodle soup], [pepper and sesame chicken], [big plate of chicken belt noodles], [fried noodles with jue slices], [beef in soy sauce], etc.

The dishes can be increased or decreased according to the actual situation, he was just giving an example.

"You mean to make a chain?"

Su Dapeng has been working in society for many years and is no novice in catering management.

After Du Shaojie took the lead, many ideas popped up in Su Dapeng's mind. He felt that this matter was worth pondering.

"Well, it must be a chain operation. My energy is limited. If you are interested, you can go to Shenzhen. I will ask someone to contact you and let them do the market research."

Du Shaojie meant that if they were to do it, they should make it into a separate sub-brand under the Bailian Catering Management Company.

He will cooperate with Su Dapeng on the sub-brand, but Su Dapeng will be responsible for market development.

"I think this project is feasible. I'll discuss it with Tingting later and go to Shenzhen as soon as possible. By the way, Shaojie, what about our [Dezhou Braised Chicken] business?"

"Just find someone reliable to keep an eye on it. He's been doing this for so many years, so he knows everything. Wouldn't it be enough to strengthen internal supervision?"

In fact, Du Shaojie already had a plan in mind. Once Su Dapeng's things started to improve, he would stop making [Dezhou Braised Chicken]. After all, human energy is limited.

Su Dapeng left with full of longing. With Du Shaojie's support, he was confident that he could start a business successfully again.

at night.

Du Shaojie took stock of his recent gains.

The consumption and income during this period were not much, with only 1 hours consumed, 10000 new redemption points added, and a total time of 20 hours.

[Exchange points: 68918 points\302066 points]

【Duration: 40.60 million hours\547.30 million hours】

Du Shaojie felt that he had been a little lazy, mainly because there were too many miscellaneous things to do, so he stayed at home for a week and then returned directly to Yangcheng.

Next, he will focus on honing his cooking skills and strive to be promoted to a cooking technician as soon as possible.

"Boss Du, we participated in the 'White Swan Cup' competition this time, and Chef Yan Dabao from the Beijing store won the title of 'God of Cooking', which brought honor to our company."

Meng Gang came to Yangcheng specifically to meet Du Shaojie and reported the good news to him.

The company's contestants all achieved good results in the "White Swan Cup Chef God Competition", especially Yan Dabao, who performed well throughout the competition and finally won the title of "Chef God".

"Great! Chef Yan has devoted himself to studying cooking in the past two years and has made a great success. The company can use this competition to promote it. In addition, our internal rewards must be implemented as soon as possible."

Du Shaojie was very happy and decided to reward Yan Dabao handsomely.

Other contestants also performed well and will also receive certain rewards.

Next, Meng Gang talked about his plans for the coming year. He plans to add a new Xichuan Restaurant store in Shanghai and actively incubate Seafood House to become the next sub-brand.

"The limitations of seafood are quite large, I need to send people to investigate more."

Meng Gang also thought about quickly promoting [Xichuan Restaurant] to major cities across the country, but the construction of the talent team could not keep up with the pace of development, so he put it on hold temporarily.

The successful model of [Seafood House] can be replicated, but it also has many limitations.

That's why he said "actively incubate" instead of launching an all-out attack.

"Put the [Seafood Restaurant] matter on hold. I have a friend who will be coming over in the next two days. You can have a good chat then. Maybe we can expand in other directions."

Du Shaojie didn't say much. If he made the final decision on everything, what would be the point of the company?
Therefore, Su Dapeng must talk to Meng Gang first, and wait until the two reach an agreement before discussing the next step.

"Ok, I see."

After discussing work, Meng Gang said goodbye and left. His schedule for the whole day was packed and he couldn't stop.

three days later.

Su Dapeng arrived in Yangcheng.

That night, Du Shaojie welcomed him at home and prepared a seafood dinner.

Liao Yongxin, Liang Meiqin and Xiaomei were all there. They were all acquaintances, so naturally they could chat with each other.

Early the next morning.

Su Dapeng went to Shenzhen alone. Meng Gang would arrange someone to pick him up, and then the two would discuss the details of the Northwestern snacks project.

After listening to Su Dapeng's introduction, Meng Gang became very interested.

Du Shaojie designed this project based on the successful experience of a certain brand in his previous life. The operating model is similar, but the details are even better.

"My idea is to make the price affordable and go for the low- to mid-range."

Su Dapeng talked eloquently and finally determined the development route.

Du Shaojie felt that the price of the dishes of that brand in his previous life was too high, so he specifically talked to Su Dapeng about the price issue. Su Dapeng agreed with him. In this day and age, the income of ordinary people is generally not high, so the positioning must be accurate.

"Mr. Su, I think your idea is good. Next, we need to put the feasibility of the project into writing."

The two reached an agreement in principle, and there are more details to discuss next. (End of this chapter)
