Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

"Yes, yes! Mr. Du, on behalf of all educators, I would like to express my highest respect to you!"

The next thing is easy. The donor is [Shencheng Bailian Catering Management Company], and the purpose of the donation is to support education.

The 20 yuan was quickly deposited into the education system’s account, and then the Education Bureau designated two relatively good primary and secondary schools to accept the students designated by the donors.

The rest was handed over to Meng Gang. All cities with catering management companies followed this model. Five cities, including Xijiang, Beijing, Chengdu, Yangcheng, and Shenzhen, donated a total of 100 million yuan.

Although the company was very low-key, this matter was leaked by someone and various reports appeared in a short period of time, which almost praised the catering management company to the sky.

As for the content of the private transaction, it was not spread.

The catering management company became famous, but unexpectedly it was not because it was the best in the industry, but because of its donations to support education.

Nowadays, all parties still attach great importance to education. However, the financial resources of various places are stretched, and the investment in education is seriously insufficient. This is the fundamental reason for the shortage of educational resources.

Therefore, the whole society supports and appreciates donations to support education.

In a few years, the "Hope Project" will still be implemented at a higher level with the aim of solving the problem of insufficient educational resources.

Du Shaojie helped his employees solve practical difficulties and had no further ideas. The company would continue to do this in the future, and he didn't need to worry about the specific matters.

Next, he will actively prepare for the “cooking technician” level test.

It’s not that he has to take the exam this year, but that he needs to participate in formal advanced vocational skills training for this profession and obtain a graduation (completion) certificate.

Otherwise, you have to wait for a long time, which is roughly about 5 years.

After much deliberation, he decided to go to the capital.

"Jianxin, please help me find out about advanced vocational skills training"

Du Shaojie called Yu Jianxin and asked him to find out the situation first.

Yu Jianxin naturally agreed and replied to him within two days.

"The Vocational Skills Training Center under the Ministry of Commerce has an advanced Chinese cooking training class. You can sign up now, but the class will not start until September."

Since this is the case, he is not in a hurry to go to the capital for the time being.

Recently he has been focusing on the study of Teochew cuisine and Hakka cuisine. In order to test the results of his efforts, he plans to make a comeback.

Diligent practice is one aspect, and feedback from diners is another important aspect. Cooking is something that cannot be developed behind closed doors or by staying at home to entertain yourself. It needs to be tested in practice.

night.

After much effort, the energetic Liang Meiqin was defeated again.

Her body and mind were greatly satisfied. Although she was very tired, she couldn't sleep.

"Shaojie, I won't let you go."

During dinner, Du Shaojie said that he was going to Shenzhen for a while.

Liang Meiqin, who was always easy to talk to, was rarely in a good mood at this moment. In fact, she was reluctant to leave him.

This guy disappears all the time and always makes people worry about him.

"Then why don't you come with me? I'm going there to hone my cooking skills and give you a month off. How about that?"

Du Shaojie immediately extended an invitation to the other party. In fact, it didn't matter if Liang Meiqin was not in the restaurant for a while, because he was the boss and had the final say.

Liang Meiqin shook her head firmly. She didn't want others to gossip about her.

"Forget it, that's all I said, just go do your thing."

She was just emotional at the moment and didn't really want to tie Du Shaojie down, so she quickly adjusted her mindset and didn't bring up the topic.

Du Shaojie thought for a moment and said, "Well, take a few days off and I'll take you to Hong Kong, and then you can go back to work."

Liang Meiqin thought that a few days would not be a big deal, so she nodded and agreed.

The next day.

Du Shaojie, Liang Meiqin and Wang Yongli took a car to Shenzhen.

Wang Yongli was waiting at the company, and the two of them went directly through customs to Hong Kong.

The main purpose of coming here is shopping. Liang Meiqin helped Du Shaojie pick out a few clothes, and she also bought some for herself. The two of them relaxed for two days, and Liang Meiqin shouted that she wanted to go back.

Du Shaojie didn't force it, and the two of them returned to Shenzhen carrying their bags.

Liang Meiqin then took the train back to work, while he went to the Seafood House.

This time when he came to Shenzhen, Du Shaojie planned to do "raw pickling" for a while to see the effect. It happened that "Seafood House" was more suitable for adding this project, so he began to try it out.

Xiao Jianjun asked Bai Cheng to help his boss, mainly because he wanted him to learn more from his boss.

On the first day, Du Shaojie made a small amount of [raw pickled meat] and advertised it in a prominent place in the store. However, not many were sold and they were all eaten by the store employees.

"Boss Du, the [Raw Pickled Vegetables] you made are very delicious. I think customers may not be used to it all of a sudden, but once they have tasted it, they will definitely not forget it and will come back for a second time."

Xiao Jianjun thought it was unreasonable that no one was interested in such delicious raw pickled food.

So he quickly asked someone to make a large poster and put it at the door of the store so that customers could see it at a glance.

In addition, Zhang Yufei also told the waiter to actively recommend it to customers. This is not to flatter the boss, but to introduce the real deliciousness to everyone.

"It's okay, let's wait a few more days and see."

Du Shaojie didn't care. He didn't make much. If he couldn't sell it, he would eat it himself. It wouldn't be wasted anyway. In the next few days, he continued to make [raw pickles] every day. He would not give up because of a small setback.

Perhaps the posters and the waiter's strong recommendation worked, and more and more customers ordered [raw pickled food] every day. After all, the [raw pickled food] he made was delicious and could not be compared with those crudely made foods.

The village has been organizing personnel training recently, and there will be a dragon boat race in a few days. The village chief and others are still very concerned about it.

In order to encourage the contestants, the village chief brought a large group of people to the [Seafood Restaurant] in the evening of that day to reward everyone.

Xiao Jianjun and Zhang Yufei were busy running around. They had long been familiar with the village chief and his people, so it was only right that they should take extra care of them. The key was that they had a large number of people and great spending power.

"Manager Xiao, is the boss here? I heard that he personally cooked and made [Raw Pickles] these days, is that true? If so, give us more."

The village chief admired Du Shaojie's cooking skills very much, but it was a pity that he was so elusive that it was rare for him to eat the food he cooked.

Recently he heard that the other party was making [raw marinated food] in [Seafood Shop], so he naturally wanted to try it.

"See, I finally met someone who knows what he's talking about. Wait a minute, I'll have someone serve the food right away."

Xiao Jianjun was very happy that the village was rich and he estimated that today's turnover would increase significantly again.

After a while, all kinds of [raw and pickled] were served on the table. After the village chief and others ate them, they stopped talking immediately.

I saw a group of people eating heartily, occasionally taking a sip of wine, so who had time to talk nonsense? The food on the table was quickly eaten, and the village chief waved his hand, "Serve more!"

"I'm sorry, Village Chief. Today's [Raw Pickles] are all sold out, and it's too late to make them again. Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll make more, and I'll make sure you enjoy them."

The village chief waited for a long time, but the [raw pickled food] didn't come up, but Du Shaojie came instead.

I don’t know what happened today, but many customers ordered [raw marinated dishes] as soon as they sat down. By the time the village chief and his friends finished the first batch, the dishes were gone when they wanted to order more.

After all, he was an old acquaintance and the local boss, so Du Shaojie had to come forward and explain in person.

"Haha, Boss Du, I finally see you. Whatever's gone, come on, cook some hot dishes and let's have a few drinks."

The village chief was easy to talk to. We were all old acquaintances and he wouldn't find fault with us over such a small matter.

Du Shaojie did not refuse and immediately asked Zhang Yong to fry some seafood. He and the village chief drank and chatted.

After sitting for more than half an hour, he got up and left.

The next day.

Du Shaojie asked Bai Cheng and another chef in the kitchen to learn how to make [raw pickled food] from him.

This skill must be passed down. He himself cannot stay here all day. It is impossible for him to stop selling [raw pickled food] after he leaves, right?
In addition, other chefs in the kitchen, including Zhang Yong and manager Xiao Jianjun, will also learn when they are free.

Du Shaojie never refused anyone who came to him, and he gave everyone a lecture every day under the title of "Bronze Medal Lecturer", and the effect was surprisingly good. After all, these people dealt with seafood all day long, and they learned "Raw Marinating" much faster than ordinary chefs.

A blink of an eye.

Half a month has passed.

During this period, Du Shaojie's consumption increased sharply. By the end of the course, he had consumed a total of 26 hours.

Of course, there are gains as well.

Du Shaojie put away the light curtain and went downstairs to the yard.

The store was closed at this time. Xiao Jianjun and others prepared various barbecues in the yard and were waiting for him.

"I'm leaving in the next two days. You've already mastered the essence of [raw pickling]. I hope you can do better and better."

Du Shaojie said goodbye to Xiao Jianjun, Zhang Yong and others, and said that he would leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Everyone has long been accustomed to the boss's behavior and thinks it is normal.

"Boss Du, I want to ask, does the company have any plans to expand the [Seafood Restaurant]?"

After everyone chatted for a while, Xiao Jianjun couldn't help it and took the opportunity to ask.

Zhang Yong and others also want to know the answer to this question.

[Seafood House] is doing a booming business right now, but no matter how good the business is, it is just a store. It cannot be compared with [Xichuan Restaurant], it cannot even be compared with the inconspicuous [Northwest Noodle House].

You should know that [Northwest Noodle House] already has two stores in a short period of time, and it is not known how many stores it will expand in the future.

Therefore, Xiao Jianjun, Zhang Yong and others were a little anxious and simply asked Du Shaojie in person. (End of this chapter)
