Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Du! All the cars here are imported, and all the documents are complete. We are definitely the best in the province."

Qi Biao was in high spirits. He accompanied Du Shaojie around for a round before going to the lounge.

But there is one thing that has not changed about Qi Biao, that is, he is very respectful to Du Shaojie.

He has been specializing in the luxury imported car business in recent years and has a wide network of contacts. He is very clear about how powerful the other party is.

As soon as I sat down, a beautiful young lady brought me tea.

Du Shaojie took a sip and couldn't help but praise it repeatedly: "Good tea! Mr. Qi, where did you get this top-quality tea?"

"Hey, this was given to me by someone else. So, bring me the can of tea that I treasure."

Without saying a word, Qi Biao gave Du Shaojie his collection of top-quality tea.

Du Shaojie did not refuse. It was just a can of tea and not worth pushing back.

"Boss Qi, I have been investing in you for quite a long time, right?"

Du Shaojie was drinking tea quietly when he suddenly said something.

"That's right, that's right. Mr. Du, don't get me wrong. Previously, because the company has been expanding, the money earned was immediately invested in the operation.

The situation has improved significantly now. I notified [Dingxin International] yesterday and I will transfer the dividend of HK$1200 million to their account in the next two days. "

Qi Biao knew exactly what Du Shaojie was asking and explained it immediately.

He didn't lie. He had gritted his teeth and didn't pay dividends because he was desperately expanding. Now he has completely recovered.

However, he had originally planned to distribute dividends next month, but after receiving a call from Luo Qin yesterday, he changed his mind.

"Well, let's deal with it this way."

Du Shaojie only invested this much in the beginning, and now he has made his money back, which is neither fast nor slow.

After having lunch with Qi Biao at noon, he left the car sales company.

After returning home and taking a nap, he had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he sat in the house looking through the financial statements of various companies that Luo Qin had sorted out.

The overall situation is relatively stable. [Shuweixiang Hotpot] has returned to its peak, and other sub-brands have reached maturity, with relatively small fluctuations in operating data.

In other words, the catering industry has passed the stage of rapid development and the growth rate has returned to normal.

There are big differences in foreign investment, but so far there has been no failure. He is not in a hurry, the harvest period may be long or short, just keep paying attention.

The purchase of storefronts has been followed up. So far, the catering company has purchased 75 storefronts in various places. In the future, the purchase frequency will be reduced and will be carried out according to the company's revenue.

"Yongli, prepare the car, let's go to the fish restaurant."

Du Shaojie put a pile of reports aside and was generally satisfied with the operation of each unit.

In fact, he doesn't need to worry too much about business now, and his time is still very free. Yesterday, I promised to teach the chef of [Fish Restaurant] how to make [Roast Whole Lamb]. Now that I think of it, I'll go there.

Later.

The group of people drove two cars straight to the fish restaurant. Luo Qin stayed behind and would call Du Shaojie if anything happened.

When we arrived at the fish restaurant, the kitchen staff were busy.

Du Shaojie changed his clothes and walked into the back kitchen, came to the barbecue ingredient marinating area, stood there and watched silently for a while.

The chefs' operations were fairly standard and acceptable, and there was basically nothing wrong with them.

"You have to be careful with lamb. If the ingredients are fresh, don't put too much marinade."

Du Shaojie understood everyone's current level and began to provide targeted guidance.

Then, everyone started asking questions and he answered them one by one.

By the time he finished his work, Wu Dazhui had already had some dishes prepared. Du Shaojie called Wang Yongli and others in and sat down to eat together.

"Boss Du, I've already ordered the oven, and it will be delivered tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Wu Dazhui drank two cups with Du Shaojie and said that he had already ordered a grill.

Du Shaojie is still very confident in Wu Dazhu's work. With the oven, he can not only make [roasted whole lamb], but also [roasted lamb chops].

If the grill chef at the fish restaurant can master the cooking techniques, these two dishes will surely be very popular.

After dinner, he walked around the fish restaurant before getting in the car and leaving.

The fish restaurant was doing very well and was almost always full at night, especially the barbecue area, where many customers simply chose to have their own barbecue to save time waiting.

The next morning.

Wu Dazhu called and said the oven had been delivered.

Du Shaojie had nothing to do, so he called Wang Yongli and others, as well as Luo Qin, and went to the fish restaurant together.

"Boss Du, I bought an extra lamb today. Can you see if you can make a whole roast lamb?"

Mutton can also be bought locally, but the quality is relatively not as good as that shipped from Xijiang.

Du Shaojie took a look and found that the mutton Wu Dazhu bought was OK and would definitely work well for barbecue. "Come over if you are not busy, barbecue chef, and help me marinate the mutton."

Du Shaojie began to teach the production methods. These chefs were all experienced, so they could do many steps and he just had to give instructions from the side.

After the whole lamb was marinated, Du Shaojie summarized the key points of marinating to them.

Then let them go about their own business. Marinating takes a long time, and baking will have to wait until the afternoon.

noon.

Du Shaojie was itching to cook, so he went into the kitchen and cooked a few dishes himself.

Wang Yongli and others were already drooling. Even they couldn't often eat the dishes cooked by the boss. When they could eat them depended entirely on his mood.

Luo Qin looked at them stupidly, not understanding why they reacted like that.

Later.

Dishes such as [Spicy Fish], [Boiled Shrimp], [Chopped Pepper Fish Head], [Clamps in Sauce], [Sweet and Sour Carp], and [Baked Lobster with Cheese] were served one after another.

Looking at the delicious dishes and smelling the tempting aroma, Luo Qin's reaction was no better than that of Wang Yongli and others.

"Began to eat!"

Following Du Shaojie's order, everyone couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks.

Every dish on the table was exquisite, some spicy and some not, suitable for everyone's taste. Wang Yongli and others ate well, after all, they were eating with the boss, but they definitely ate fast.

Luo Qin usually has to keep in shape, so normally she doesn't eat much, but today is an exception.

After Du Shaojie had eaten his fill and left, the remaining dishes were eaten up by Wang Yongli, Zou Xiaohe, Xu Youlian, Peng Yongjun and Luo Qin.

Luo Qin smiled with satisfaction. It was the first time for her to eat a table of dishes made by the boss with great care. The taste was beyond her imagination. She decided to follow the boss closely in the future. Maybe she could have such delicious food again someday.

After Du Shaojie came out, he took a walk by the lake and then came back to rest for a while.

In the afternoon, after the mutton is marinated, we start grilling it.

The fish restaurant's barbecue chef and some other less busy chefs were watching the scene.

Du Shaojie explained to everyone while he was working, especially how to adjust the oven temperature by observing the color of the mutton surface. He taught them every detail and passed on his experience to them in great detail.

By evening.

Du Shaojie sprinkled chili powder and cumin powder on the surface of the whole lamb, and this [Roast Whole Lamb] was freshly baked.

He cut off a portion and let everyone taste it, which aroused a lot of praise. The mutton was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with neither fat nor lean meat being greasy, and it exuded a rich aroma when eaten.

"Let's try to sell it today, Dazhu. Ask the waiter to recommend it to the customers. I want to see the feedback."

After Du Shaojie finished his work, he had a large plate of roasted whole lamb delivered to the private room.

He still had dinner here, but he had no interest in cooking in the evening, as the theme of tonight was barbecue.

Wang Yongli, Luo Qin and others got to eat the roasted whole lamb as they wished, and they were extremely satisfied. Luo Qin was in pain and happy at the same time, and decided to do an extra hour of exercise at night to avoid gaining weight.

A few days passed quickly.

Du Shaojie completed the task of imparting production methods and experience, and the grill chefs of [Yu Zhuang] have become very skilled in making [Roast Whole Lamb]. Although the taste is still a little behind Du Shaojie's, it has won unanimous praise from customers.

As for the [Grilled Lamb Chops], it is relatively simple. Du Shaojie gave some pointers these days, and the fish restaurant has added a new signature dish.

I originally invested in the [Fish Restaurant] with the intention of helping Wu Dazhui and his wife, but I didn't expect the business to grow bigger and bigger.

Initially, Du Shaojie only held 40% of the shares in the fish restaurant, but after the subsequent renovation and expansion, he invested more money and his shareholding increased from 40% to 70%.

Wu Dazhu was honest but not stupid. He had a good idea of ​​why the fish restaurant's business was booming. If he really took the lion's share, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to make the money for two years.

[Fish Restaurant] is now making a fortune. Even if they can only get 30% of the profits, Wu Dazhui and his wife are still making a lot of money.

The couple was devoted to Du Shaojie, who never cared about the business affairs and still let them manage. However, the number of employees increased significantly, except for the kitchen staff, including management and service staff who were recruited later.

[Fish Restaurant] is the same as the [Barbecue Restaurant] in the old street. It has nothing to do with the catering management company and is under his personal name.

Yesterday, the fish restaurant distributed dividends again, and Du Shaojie's personal account had several million more yuan in income. He usually needed money for many purposes, some of which he took back to the company for reimbursement and accounting, and some of which he spent on himself.

Du Shaojie has been immersed in the joy of cooking these days. He cooks himself and teaches his employees how to cook. He lives a very comfortable life.

Some time ago, he made a total of 100 dishes with an overall evaluation of "Phoenix Marrow and Dragon Liver", which also brought him 10 exchange points and 200 million hours of income.

It’s just that his cooking skills seem to have stagnated and he feels that he has made almost no progress.

[Exchange points: 169918 points\4323066 points]

【Duration: 1484 million hours\7661.30 million hours】

This is easy to understand. He already possesses the skills of a "senior technician" and almost all the dishes he can cook have reached the current highest level.

Only by breaking through the level of "Phoenix Marrow and Dragon Liver" can his culinary skills be improved. (End of this chapter)
