National Tide 1980

Zhang Shihui, who was very ambitious, drove to the "Tan Palace" around nine o'clock in the morning.

But to his surprise, the entrance of the "Tan Palace" restaurant, which was supposed to be clean and peaceful, was very abnormal.

It was actually more lively than the crowded dim sum shop next to it.

Two 130 trucks carrying goods were parked at the entrance of the restaurant in an open and honest manner.

About seven or eight chefs in white clothes and white coats were passing through the door of the restaurant, carrying ingredients to the kitchen, and they were busy coming in and out.

Jiang Dachun, who came from Beihai Fangshan Restaurant and had a conflict with Ning Weimin because of his junior brother on the opening day, was standing at the door and taking charge of the command.

People carrying goods kept asking him for instructions, "Brother Jiang, where should I put this flour?"

"Brother Jiang, should these fruits be put into the basement or sent to the kitchen first?"

"Brother Jiang, where's the oil? I don't think there's any need to change the base oil for the kitchen fryer, right? Are you still sending it to the kitchen?"

Zhang Shihui was almost dumbfounded by the chaos and congestion.

Of course, there was absolutely no way he could park his car on the side of the road in front of the restaurant.

Because the parking space is occupied by two trucks.

At exactly this time, he discovered that Yang Feng, who had just transferred his connections from Chongwenmen Biianfang and was learning halal roast duck from Master Ai, was counting duck embryos in the truck.

Unable to sit still any longer, he immediately got out of the car and walked over to ask.

"Yang Zi, what's going on? Why are you taking goods from the main entrance?"

This Yang Feng is actually the chef buddy who Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui had a good relationship with when they were at the Chongwenmen Hotel.

I really did a lot of cooking for them back then.

So Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui brought him over.

I just hope that this kid can help them keep an eye on the kitchen, and even become a chef one day.

This person is absolutely one of our own, so naturally he knows everything he knows.

"The water pipe burst in the back, and it has been repaired now, but there is too much mud and water, making it difficult to walk. So the cart cannot be used, so we have to rely on manpower. Isn't it close here?"

Yang Feng's words immediately made Zhang Shihui understand that this was a temporary measure taken in case of an emergency.

But when he thought about it carefully, he still felt it was inappropriate.

Especially when I saw some flour and vegetable leaves sprinkled on the front steps, and the two copper-clad doors, which had been bumped by the cart.

He couldn't tolerate it anymore and decided to stop it.

"Stop, stop now, you're out of luck!..."

His horizontal thrust immediately aroused astonishment, and everyone who was carrying it was at a loss.

Only Jiang Dachunhan came to negotiate with a straight face.

"What do you mean? Manager Zhang..."

It can be seen from his expression that this boy is in a very bad mood. He is not only dissatisfied but also irritable.

Zhang Shihui was unmoved and faced it calmly.

"Dachun, you can't transport goods through the front door. You have to use the back door to transport goods. This is the same in any hotel. You should know this..."

"But...but today there is water all over the place. There is nothing we can do about it. Look at the huge amount of goods. If we don't finish transporting them within half an hour, the artificial ice from Polar Bear will be here again. Then What will we do then? We will be completely blind if we don’t..."

Listening to Jiang Dachun angrily talking about his difficulties, Zhang Shihui nodded to express his understanding, but his attitude remained unwavering.

"This is indeed a matter of fate. But the reason why the regulations are regulations is that they must be implemented. What kind of restaurant is our 'Tan Palace'? Doing this will affect the image too much. Look, you just got lucky. It’s just half a car, right? The ground at the front entrance is so dirty, and this door. Did you see it? It’s all been bumped like this! And this floor, the oil stains are not easy to clean, and guests are likely to fall... "

His accusation made all the chefs feel a bit confused.

But as the saying goes, when a scholar meets a soldier, he cannot explain the truth clearly.

As manual workers, chefs are similar to soldiers, and they love to be motivated.

For example, Jiang Dachun was a bit disappointed. Not only was he not convinced, but he asked with a pale face.

"Then what do you think we should do? If we are not allowed to take goods from here, the kitchen affairs will be delayed. Who will bear this responsibility? Besides, I have already said hello to Manager Du, and he agrees..."

And with him taking the lead, other chefs also had the courage to express their dissatisfaction, as if Zhang Shihui was just looking for trouble.

"Isn't this intentional to make things difficult for others? It is inevitable to work..."

"That's right, it's not like we didn't ask, and they blamed us..."

"Really, half of this has been accomplished. If we don't let you do it now, it's no longer a fool's errand..."

The words were really unpleasant and the conflict was great, especially when it involved more sensitive internal interpersonal relationships.

You should know that Manager Du from Jiang Dachunti is from the District Service Bureau.

Not only is he a member of Director Jin, but he is also a person who has been following Ning Weimin's horse and horse since the "Tan Palace" project was established. He is a person with relatively strong ability to do things.

If Zhang Shihui had not agreed to come as an airborne cadre.

This kid is likely to replace Zhang Shihui and become Ning Weimin's first deputy in "Tan Palace".

Undoubtedly, it is precisely because of this that the relationship between Zhang Shihui and this person is very subtle. It may be described by the phrase "the face and the heart are not in harmony".

In fact, each of them hopes to completely subdue the other, but they don't want to make this private conflict and competition public.

Otherwise, not only will he lose his grace and appear incompetent, but he may also make Ning Weimin dissatisfied as someone who undermines internal unity.

Therefore, Zhang Shihui had to pay attention to strategies and methods to deal with this matter.

Since it's not easy to be tough, it's best to overcome toughness with gentleness.

"Don't be so angry. I don't blame you either. I know that Manager Du promised you. But after all, he works in an office and has never worked on the front line. He probably doesn't know the seriousness of this matter..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Shihui changed the subject and showed a very sincere smile.

"Of course, it's not easy for you, and I can't watch you working so hard. Just do this. Can I help you move the restaurant? Twenty people should be enough, right? Let's go through the back door, everyone. Let's start the battle together, and we can almost finish the move in two or three trips..."

The chefs couldn't help but look at each other, a little surprised.

No one expected that Zhang Shihui would be willing to deploy so many people to help them in order to maintain the rules of the store.

It seems... that's okay. If this is really the case, it won't delay the matter, and it will be easier...

Zhang Shihui understood the chef's psychology correctly and continued to strike while the iron was hot.

"Oh, we all do it for work, so we have to understand each other. Right? Dachun, to be honest, we have a bit of a tacit understanding in the past two months. I really hope you can stay. In this way, you If you can trust me, just take everyone to the back to have a cigarette and have a rest. Just give me five minutes, and I guarantee that the people in the restaurant will be there in no time..."

These words have additional implications.

You know, compared to state-owned hotels, the treatment at "Tan Palace" is simply great.

Although Jiang Dachun's salary is the same as that of his original employer, there are plenty of overtime pay and various subsidies.

And whether it's eating or drinking, it's definitely different from Fangshan Restaurant and Tingli Restaurant, which just prepare some non-meat-free employee meals every day to satisfy their employees.

You have to eat and drink secretly to satisfy the needs of your stomach and intestines.

Even here, there are free cigarettes, tea, and sour plum soup for you to enjoy.

Although the sour plum soup is made from the essence of sour plums, and the cigarettes and tea are all from the "Huimin Cigarette Hotel", which are made at a loss and make a profit, but what is the free stuff that doesn't taste good?

Almost all foreign chefs have long been shaken from the bottom of their hearts.

Except for a small number of people who are worried that "Tan Palace" will only be popular for a few days.

Almost most people hope to officially transfer their working relationships before the one-year aid expires.

Jiang Dachun also belongs to the majority.

After hearing Zhang Shihui's words of not remembering old evil and clearly showing his kindness, he couldn't say "no" anymore.

"Okay, Manager Zhang, since you said so, let's do it like this. But...the two of you, what do you think you should say? We just wanted to beg you for a long time..."

However, a promise was a promise, and Jiang Dachun couldn't help but nuzzled into the cab of the truck.

Yes, it’s not enough for the chefs to do the job, they also have to do the work of the driver.

The two drivers who came to deliver the goods were naturally unhappy when they knew they had to move the car.

The most annoying thing about doing this kind of errand is walking into narrow alleys and messing around.

Like today's trip, they came early, but they were delayed for at least an hour longer than usual. Who would be happy?

What's more, the status of drivers these days is not ordinary, and they can play big names.

It would be really difficult for these two uncles to deliberately resist.

But the good thing is that Zhang Shihui is no longer what he used to be.

He had been following Ning Weimin in the mall for so long, and not only had he developed the ability to recognize people, and what to say to whomever he met.

And he also knows how to figure out the other person's psychology and look for weaknesses in human nature.

Although the driver was originally unwilling to obey the instructions, Zhang Shihui relied on his sharp mouth. Melt reason, profit and emotion into one furnace.

There is no way the driver can't comply.

"I said to you two masters, I feel a little sorry today, but this happened for a reason. I also drive. Do you think I don't know how troublesome it is to reverse the wheel? Don't be so objective... …”

"I won't hide it from you. I am the administrative manager of this restaurant. If you don't help me, I will call your leader to report it. You should have cooperated with us in unloading the goods. Right?"

"What's the big deal about taking a few more steps? You guys have to help me with this, we are friends. I'll write you a letter of praise later and send it to you. Aren't you guaranteed to get your bonus this month?"

"I keep my word, okay? I'll write it down as soon as this happens. What do you call them? I'll note it down. Let's help each other out..."

Just like that, in the end, the driver not only drove the car into the back door of "Tan Palace" again without any complaints.

And the chefs who witnessed the whole process looked at Zhang Shihui with admiration and awe.

Facing his back, the cooks were all whispering.

"You can't tell. This manager is really quite capable. He solved the difficult driver in just a few words. He was really neat."

However, Zhang Shihui walked into the restaurant and went straight to the second floor under the admiring eyes of many people.

But somewhat unfairly, he immediately shattered the pride of others.

The next step is no longer to be gentle, but to kill the chicken and scare the monkey.

"...Everyone worked very hard yesterday, but there are still many problems. Let me say it again. We are not an ordinary state-owned restaurant. We want to be high-end palace cuisine. So there are many problems. Don't let the problems be solved only when they are big. We should start from an early age. Let’s start with the details. Try to filter every link, such as door greeting, taking orders, cleaning, service, passing dishes, etc. Can these links increase the comfort and satisfaction of the guests? By the way , no matter how urgent the situation is, you are not allowed to run, you can only walk quickly. Yesterday I found someone running away. This is not right. The things in our restaurant are very precious, so accidents can easily happen. Guests will also be unaware of the situation and feel panic. There are also language standards in our services. I have said it many times and I will say it again. We must use polite words such as 'please' and 'thank you', especially in restaurants. Don't speak too loudly to each other... …”

As soon as he entered the restaurant, Zhang Shihui saw the restaurant manager Pan Long holding a pre-shift meeting.

In the large restaurant, more than fifty waiters listened in silence.

But Zhang Shihui didn't have the patience to wait for Pan Long to finish speaking, and immediately interrupted with a slap in the face.

When everyone's attention turned to him, Zhang Shihui gave the order decisively.

"I need twenty people to go to the back door and help the kitchen carry groceries, right now! Now!"

The reaction in the restaurant was the same as that of the chefs downstairs just now, with disbelief and reluctance.

But Zhang Shihui still had a back-up plan. He knew that the emperor did not lack hungry soldiers.

"Who wants to go? Count on one hour of overtime. Come on, we don't have any time to waste, young man! Don't be coy, come on!"

The atmosphere immediately changed. Dissatisfaction turned into positivity. At least thirty or forty people raised their hands.

Only Pan Long still looked stunned.

"Manager Zhang, isn't it appropriate for you to do this? Let our people help with the kitchen work? It doesn't make sense. We are also very busy. You may not know that there are a lot of reserved seats today, and I need people to help in advance... "

But Zhang Shihui interrupted again and reprimanded him in an extremely angry manner.

"What's inappropriate? Both the kitchen and the restaurant are part of the restaurant. We should help each other. If something goes wrong, everyone will be unlucky."

"Also, you'd better go take a look. The door downstairs is a mess! Is this why you agreed to let the kitchen people carry goods through the front door?"

"I heard that you were still emphasizing that work requires ideas and details just now. I would like to ask you, is it a decent thing for others to see us transporting goods from the front? Will there still be customers coming when the ground is oily? Will there still be customers? Does anyone agree with the price of our restaurant? What right do you have to decide and agree to such a ridiculous request from the chef!"

"What nonsense are you doing! I'm telling you, take two people down right away and clean the door for me! In twenty minutes, if I find something dirty, you can clean it for me today!"

As he spoke, he stared at Pan Long.

Pan Long was completely confused. First he felt ashamed and angry, then aggrieved, and finally turned into surrender.

In the end, I had to say "yes" and took the two people downstairs.

In fact, why didn't Zhang Shihui know that Pan Long was wronged?

But he deliberately wanted Pan Long to take the punishment instead of the one in the office.

Who told this boy to be the confidant of the man named Du? You deserve it.

And this move is completely killing three birds with one stone.

It can show some color to grassroots employees and see who is the one who can make the decision.

We can also test out the quality of the man named Du and see if he has the courage to stand up when he hears the noise outside.

In addition, it may also allow Pan Long to create a gap between Du.

This is power tactics! We can also play!

Looking at Zhang Shihui, who never came out from the direction of the office, he smiled secretly and couldn't help but feel complacent.

After that, I ignored him and started to focus on selecting people as if nothing had happened.

"You, you, you... and you, all come with me, okay, okay, enough is enough.

"By the way, everyone should take off their coats first. If it's inconvenient to work, don't get them dirty..."

"Come on, come downstairs with me. Don't keep the people in the kitchen waiting..."
