The story of a cook

Chapter 161 Restaurant Changes
We often say whether a person is capable or not.What is ability?Ability is ability that is displayed on the outside and results are obtained. What cannot be displayed on the outside and cannot obtain results is not ability but effort.

Everyone is capable, but the ability is different.

After working at the Blue House for a week, Lin Yan resigned from her job.

Lin Yan said: "I'll go home and stay for two days to see my mother and help my mother with work for two days."

I said: "Okay, go home and have a look, I should go to your house to see your mother."

Lin Yan said: "No, you still have to go to work. My mother doesn't choose. My mother knows what's going on between us, so you just go to work. We have to make sure that one of us works to earn money, or else we can support our family with something."

I said, "Then listen to my wife, I will go to work to earn money to support the family."

Lin Yan said: "I'm not allowed to go out and drink with people for a few days when I'm home, especially women, listen up."

I said, "Don't worry, your husband looks like a gangster, so you want it, no one else wants it."

Lin Yan said: "That's not necessarily the case. If someone likes you like this, and you still can't help being tempted, then it's over. If you drink with someone, you may drink together with them. There's no way to say that."

I asked, "Are you so worried about me?"

Lin Yan said: "I'm the most worried about you. When you were working in Yangchun, didn't those elder sisters always ask you to drink and even buy you sweaters? If they don't have that kind of intention for you, they can ask you to drink? I don't believe it. A woman will buy you a sweater for no reason?"

I looked at her, laughed, and didn't speak.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Lin Yan said: "Stop talking, you told me to speak right, right?"

I said, "I can't speak at this time, and it's not right to say it or not to say it. It's less sinful not to say it, so I don't say it."

Lin Yan said: "If you don't say it, you have a ghost in your heart."

I said, "If I speak, I'm quibbling."

Lin Yan smiled and asked, "Is that why I'm being unreasonable?"

I said, "If women are unreasonable, ghosts will be afraid."

In fact, this sentence is also suitable for men, no matter men or women, if they are unreasonable, even ghosts will be afraid.The reason why people are unreasonable is because they always think that they are right and others are wrong.There is no exact right or wrong for many things, it's just that they are treated differently.If it meets your expectations, you say it is right; if it does not meet your expectations, you say it is wrong.

Sometimes there is no right or wrong in the matter itself, but the person who does it is right or wrong.

After adjusting the barbecue, cold noodles, mixed vegetables, and stir-fried vegetables, the effect is still there. Although the effect is small, it is still there.

After eating the barbecue, the guests said that it was much more delicious than before. Some guests said they would come back next time, and at the same time, some of the old main roads also came back.These slight changes seem to be nothing, just like when the business first started to decline, I feel inconspicuous and don't care, and it will be too late when I care.The same is true for business growth. At the beginning, it was not obvious. It seemed to be better, but it was not obvious at all. It was just a feeling, a psychological feeling.

Customers say it's delicious, there are repeat customers, and the main way, the feeling is different.

This is the way of doing business, you have to do everything, and you will gain something by doing it.The fear is that you just talk but don't do it.It’s good to think and say good things, but it’s zero if you don’t do it.I can’t explain the big truth. I have summed it up over the years, that is, as long as people live, they have to do it. If they don’t do it, they will never know right or wrong. If they don’t do it, they will never know what they are. the purpose you want to achieve.People only have to do it and do it, and life will be prosperous.

Life cultivates those who dare to think and dare to do, and never cultivates people who just don't want to do it. People who just say that they can't do it are prepared for being eliminated.

The business has gradually improved. From the proprietress to the waiters to the back kitchen, the expressions on everyone's faces have begun to change.When we first came, everyone's expressions were lifeless, but now they are cheerful.The guests said that the dishes and rice are delicious, the waiters are happy to serve in the front, and the chef is also excited to cook in the back.When the waiter is happy, he will put a smile on his face and face the guests with a smile. The guests are also comfortable to eat and will leave a good impression. The first thing that comes to mind next time is your home.Guests say that if the dishes are well prepared, the chef is happy and will make the dishes better and better.

Those who love will return, and those who are blessed will come.

A good evaluation will make people continue to do the right things, and do better and better.

It's that simple. Everyone wants to be the person they want to be. That is their own goal. The realization of all goals is done step by step. If you don't take the first step, the goal will never be realized.

When working with colleagues, don't be silent or say something useless, learn to praise, because praise will make the other party continue to do the right thing.

The best way to work is not to reprimand, but to motivate.

Give a colleague a smile every day, say hello, and give him a thumbs up, and he will be full of gratitude in his heart, full of desire and passion for work.

The death of any restaurant is not simply due to product problems. It must be due to problems with people and the team.

As the old saying goes, "home and everything prosper".

While solving the quality problems of the dishes, Sister Li and Sister Zhang in the kitchen kept encouraging them, and naturally said from the bottom of their hearts: "It's amazing, the better it is, the better it is than yesterday."

Sometimes I give them a thumbs up for their progress and say, "I'm a little impressed, you are the real master."

Sisters Li and Zhang rarely go to the front hall to sit and chat with waiters when they are free, and they often do their own preparations in the back.These are all good signs. Only by bringing the employees in the store to the working state can the work be done well, and there will be good products. Only good products will attract customers, retain customers, have repeat customers and a good reputation , the business will slowly start.

Sister Li and Sister Zhang stopped chatting in the front hall, and the waiters had no one to chat with, and they sat there ashamedly, and started looking for work by themselves.

The front work is simple, serve the guests when there are guests, and clean up when there are no guests.

Gradually, the floor of the front hall became clean, and the stains accumulated over a long period of time disappeared; the window glass was bright, and if you didn’t look carefully, you might think there was no glass installed;At least the guests don't have to wipe the table vigorously with napkins when they sit there.To be honest, even the big brother who made the stove cleaned the stove that hadn’t been brushed for a long time. The end of the stove was in front of the guests, and the guests who always came to eat barbecue asked: "Your family bought a new stove?"

If a restaurant whose business is declining wants to be brought back to life, it is not only a matter of the dishes, but also a matter of the entire store staff. Only when all staff are active will it be effective.All of these need to be driven and changed subtly, and only when everyone gradually integrates will changes occur.The business will only change if the entire restaurant changes.

Zhang Li was cleaning the glass in a Korean costume, saw me coming out of the kitchen and called me: "Master Tan——"

I walked over to her and asked her, "What are you calling me for?"

She said, "Look, see if I wipe it clean?"

I looked at it, the glass was clean, and said to her, "Clean, very clean."

She asked, "Is there any reward for wiping so clean?"

I said: "If you want a reward, you can't ask for it from me. You have to go with your sister-in-law."

She asked: "What's the matter with you, you won't be so picky?"

I laughed and said, "I'm really picky. Others pick at me like iron cocks. I'm a sugar cock."

She asked, "What do you mean?"

I said, "You don't know this, not only will you not get rid of it, but it will also stick to your skin."

She looked at me and laughed.

She looked at her when she was laughing, and found that she really didn’t look good in Korean clothes. She didn’t look as elegant in her own clothes. Wearing Korean clothes on her took away her temperament, making her look very feminine, a bit charming.

She looked at me and her, and asked, "What are you looking at? Is it not good-looking?"

I said, "It's very pretty. You look young when you wear this dress."

She was a little unhappy when she heard that, and frowned and said, "I'm not young at all."

Knowing that she said something wrong, she hurried to the kitchen, and she said from behind: "I'll always run away after you finish talking, and I'll go to the kitchen to find you in a while."

Back in the kitchen, Sister Li was mixing the dry seasoning. She put some of the dry seasoning in a small dish and asked me to taste it.Just tell Sister Li to adjust according to this standard.

Sister Zhang was bagging the soaked cold noodles in portions. When she saw me come back, she asked me, "Master Tan, did you bring back the scissors?"

I just remembered that I went to the front desk to get the scissors. I forgot about it when I talked to Zhang Li. I slapped my forehead and said, "Tell me to forget it. I'll get it."

Sister Zhang just laughed, and joked: "Did you just forget about the scissors while chatting with Zhang Li?"

I said: "It's not a big deal, and I offended her. I said she looked young in Korean clothing, and she said I called her old in disguise, and she got angry."

Sister Zhang said: "Everyone will be angry, besides, Zhang Li is already young, she is only 30 years old."

I said, "Hey, I said the wrong thing."
