Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

the next day.

Du Shaojie came to [Xijiang Hotel].

Although the hotel has been renovated, it still retains its original appearance. This reminded him of the time when he was seconded here, and it was here that he met Zhong Fuxiang, Dong Jun and others.

Zhong Fuxiang is still running his hot pot restaurant in Shenzhen. After working diligently over the years, he has accumulated a considerable fortune.

He went to see the other party when he was in Shenzhen last time. The hot pot restaurant has been handed over to his son, and the old comrade is helping to keep an eye on it. He is living a good life.

Dong Jun is now the company's vice president and lives in Shenzhen.

Du Shaojie gave some shares to several senior executives and also paid them high salaries. Dong Jun not only bought a house but also a car. From any perspective, he was one of the first to get rich.

There were too many opportunities in the past few years, it just depended on whether individuals dared to seize them.

"Boss Du, this way"

Du Shaojie was still sighing when Liu Ying's appearance interrupted him.

"Liu Bureau"

Liu Ying seems to be well maintained and doesn't look old at all.

She asked Du Shaojie to follow her and went directly to a more private private room.

"The leader will be here soon, let's order first."

After walking into the private room and sitting down, Liu Ying poured Du Shaojie a cup of tea.

At this time, Lu Yimin had not arrived yet, so the two of them started ordering food.

After ordering the dishes, Liu Ying talked about her own situation. Although she no longer had any real power, she had a lot of free time and did not have so many worries.

"People always have to have a purpose. I think it's good for you to be like this. You can retire after working a little longer. If you have anything, just talk to Leader Lu and he will get it done."

After listening to this, Du Shaojie comforted Liu Ying.

Liu Ying laughed and changed the subject, talking about the past.

About a quarter of an hour later, Lu Yimin came in in a hurry: "Shaojie, I'm sorry, something delayed me. I will drink three glasses of wine as punishment later."

"How can that be possible? Three cups is definitely not enough. How about doubling it?"

The two men immediately stood up, and Lu Yimin shook hands with Du Shaojie enthusiastically.

Du Shaojie made a joke and then asked the waiter to serve the food.

After a while, the food and wine were served and the three of them drank a glass together.

Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, we still have a lot to talk about.

Lu Yimin asked about Feng Qingsong's recent situation, then said with a smile: "Shaojie, when you go back this time, you must help me bring some local specialties to my old leader. I haven't seen him for a long time."

Du Shaojie smiled and nodded in agreement. This was a small matter and he had a way to hand it over to Feng Qingsong.

The meal lasted more than an hour. Lu Yimin had to leave first because of something, and Du Shaojie sent Liu Ying back.

It can be seen that although Liu Ying was chatting and laughing at the table, she was still very depressed. She started earlier than Jiang Cheng and Lu Yimin, but the final ending was sad.

Next.

Du Shaojie took Qi Yan and his daughter on a tour of Xijiang, visiting grasslands, pastures, mountain lakes and many other places. The happiest one was the little one.

After returning from a trip, Qi Yan stayed with her parents for a few days, and the vacation came to an end.

Qi Yan, her daughter and the nanny flew back to the capital, and Du Shaojie was too lazy to move and continued to stay there. In this season, many fruits are on the market, and cattle and sheep are also fat.

Du Shaojie was too lazy to cook, so he went out to eat different kinds of food almost every day.

He has traveled almost all over the country, but his favorite food is the taste of his hometown.

Half a month later.

Du Shaojie, Wang Yongli and others returned to Yangcheng.

After this trip, he felt more relaxed than ever before, and it seemed that the unbreakable bottleneck in his cooking skills was loosening a little.

The next day after returning home, Du Shaojie went to the fish restaurant to see if the [roasted whole lamb] made by the fish restaurant had improved. This time when he returned to Xijiang, he had some new insights into the local specialties and could find an opportunity to try them.

"Boss Du, you're back?"

Wu Dazhu knew that Du Shaojie had gone out of town, and when he suddenly saw him, he hurried forward to say hello.

"Yes, I came back yesterday. Let's go to the kitchen and take a look."

It was afternoon and the kitchen staff were busy.

Two of the chefs checked the marinated lamb and prepared to start grilling it immediately.

[Roast Whole Lamb] It takes a long time to roast, so it must be prepared in advance, otherwise it will not be ready in time for dinner.

"Hello, Mr. Du!"

The two carried the ingredients to the barbecue area and then saw Du Shaojie.

"Well, you guys continue, I'll watch from the side."

Du Shaojie smiled and nodded. Judging from his visual observation, the marinated mutton looked good. The two chefs responded and started to grill it.

Du Shaojie watched their movements and occasionally corrected some minor problems. In the process, he had some ideas about how to cook this dish, but he needed to try again and again to determine whether these ideas were correct.

"Well, you have already grasped the essence of this dish. You can slowly improve some of the details in the future."

Du Shaojie didn't demand too much from the two of them. With their level, they would be more than capable of cooking this dish even in a big hotel.

According to Wu Dazhui, he can now sell three sheep every day, and sometimes there is a situation where supply cannot meet demand.

Du Shaojie encouraged the two barbecue masters, then he grilled one himself and demonstrated it to the two again.

at night.

After returning home, Du Shaojie plunged into the simulation scene and began practicing, incorporating some of his new ideas into [Roast Whole Lamb].

He hadn't conducted any simulation training for quite a while, because as long as he knew how to cook a dish, he could basically get a comprehensive evaluation of "Phoenix Marrow and Dragon Liver", so it was useless to practice more.

Unless he can break through the current bottleneck.

He made [Roasted Whole Lamb] over and over again in the simulated scene, forgetting time and fatigue, until he could no longer bear it and returned to reality to rest.

"Don't do that next time!"

Du Shaojie just felt a splitting headache. He reflected on himself for a while and fell asleep.

The next day he slept until ten in the morning and finally woke up feeling fully recovered.

Although it was very consuming, it also brought a lot of gains. The [Roast Whole Lamb] he made before was indeed very good, but there were still some details that were not done well and there were some flaws.

This time he went back to Xijiang and visited several local restaurants that are famous for this dish, so he had new insights.

noon.

Du Shaojie and others went to the Seafood Restaurant to have dinner, and then went to the training center to handle some documents.

He and Luo Qin both have offices in the training center, which are very suitable for work, but the working conditions are a little poor. However, he never cares about these details.

"Secretary Luo, I have to go to the fish restaurant this afternoon. We can talk tomorrow if you have anything to say."

After Du Shaojie finished his official business, he planned to go to the fish restaurant.

There haven't been a lot of things going on recently, so there's no need for him to have Luo Qin follow him all the time. Others also need some rest time.

Who knew that Luo Qin would get angry when he heard this: "Boss, I want to go with you. This is my duty."

In fact, Luo Qin wanted to go with Du Shaojie to eat for free. Apart from other things, she never got tired of eating the whole roasted lamb. How could she not go? She had to try her best to fight for it.

"You can go if you want, but don't accuse me of being a black-hearted capitalist who won't let you rest."

Du Shaojie naturally didn't care, so the group went downstairs.

After arriving at the fish restaurant, Du Shaojie participated in the whole process of grilling. Now there are at least three sheep every night, and the two grilling chefs are too busy to handle it, so Wu Dazhu had to add two helpers for them.

"From now on, the baking process will follow today's demonstration. In addition, I have made some minor improvements to the marinated ingredients. I will tell you later."

Du Shaojie walked around the oven and nodded with satisfaction.

Although it is just a slight adjustment, the roasted lamb will be more delicate and taste better.

In terms of pickling, he also made some slight changes to the ingredients, but there is no rush, he will teach them when he has time.

evening.

A large number of guests have arrived at the fish restaurant. Du Shaojie and others did not go to the private room, but sat in the self-service barbecue area.

The waiter brought a large plate of sliced ​​[roast whole lamb], as well as various grilled dishes, which Wang Yongli and others needed to grill themselves.

Du Shaojie tried today's [Roast Whole Lamb] and it tasted better than before.

"You guys should eat too, don't just watch."

When Luo Qin and others saw the boss tasting the dishes, no one was willing to pick up their chopsticks.

Du Shaojie couldn't help but smile, and after greeting them, he ignored them. Afterwards, even Wang Yongli stopped what he was doing, and everyone's goal was to [Roast Whole Lamb].

Then everyone smiled. It was natural to feel happy when eating delicious food. This kind of satisfaction is irreplaceable.

At this time, Wu Dazhu brought a fruit platter to the table, and then a salad. Eating barbecue is easy to get angry, and it will be much better with some vegetables and fruits.

Du Shaojie smiled and nodded to Wu Dazhui, he should indeed eat more of these things.

"Boss Du, our fish restaurant is a little overrated. Now 60 to 70 percent of our daily turnover comes from barbecue. Especially [Roasted Whole Lamb] and [Roasted Lamb Chops] are very popular. I'm afraid we have to increase the supply."

Wu Dazhu sat down with Du Shaojie and drank a few beers and chatted about the current business status of the fish restaurant.

Speaking of the decreasing proportion of the operating income of the "All Fish Feast", he couldn't help but sigh. The fish restaurant started out with the "All Fish Feast", but who would have thought that barbecue would become the main business now?

"This is normal. Customers' tastes are not static, so we have to proactively adapt to this change. Since barbecue is so popular, we will put more effort into this area and allocate more resources to it."

Du Shaojie disagreed. This change in taste was not surprising at all.

While maintaining its own characteristics, a store must also innovate and appropriately adjust its business ideas. (End of this chapter)
