The story of a cook

Chapter 337 Master's Words
Zhang Li and Li Shuang came to Linjiangxuan at the same time.

Two beautiful and temperamental beauties suddenly appeared in front of them, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Manager Guo, in particular, was very concerned.

She received a call from Mr. Huo in the morning. Mr. Huo told her that two managers would come over for an internship today and asked her to make arrangements.

For the arrival of Zhang Li and Li Shuang, Manager Guo felt the pressure.

Women have innate intuition. She felt that her position might not be guaranteed, so she called the chairman who was far away in Japan, and told the chairman about the situation in the store. The chairman said a word on the phone. It was later the chairman told me.

The chairman said: "I arranged this, you just need to receive it."

Hearing that it was arranged by the chairman, Manager Guo had nothing to say and could only receive Zhang Li and Li Shuang as the chairman ordered.Lead the two of them to familiarize themselves with the restaurant, from the first floor to the second floor, and then to the third floor, and they are familiar with the whole.

After getting acquainted, Manager Guo arranged Zhang Li and Li Shuang to the lobby on the first floor, and wanted to call the front desk staff for a meeting, and asked the staff to meet Zhang Li and her. Besides.

To be honest, when Manager Guo stood with Zhang Li and Li Shuang, they lost half of their momentum.It seems that Manager Guo should be an office worker in an enterprise, in charge of logistics.Zhang Li and Li Shuang could tell at a glance that they were the management staff of the hotel, especially Zhang Li, who wore professional attire and immediately became aura, cool, beautiful, and exuding strong self-confidence.This kind of pretense cannot be faked, and it takes years of hotel management to form this innate temperament.

Li Shuang has less of this kind of temperament, but more affinity and appeal in her, and seeing her feels like a spring breeze.

I really haven't observed the two of them very carefully, and I didn't expect them to have this side.

Master asked me: "Xiao Tanzi, are you looking for those two girls?"

I said, "Well, I found it."

"Didn't you just find one, why two?" Master asked.

"Boss Huo fell in love with both of them."

"That's not going to take two managers."

"One is the manager and the other is the floor."

"Oh, it looks okay."

When I went to the cafeteria for lunch, Zhang Li, Li Shuang and I sat at the same table to eat. I introduced Master to them, and Master nodded without saying anything.

After the master left, Zhang Li whispered, "Old Tan, your master is serious enough."

I said, "Well, he is not familiar with you, it will be fine if he is familiar with you, my master is very good."

"I look serious enough, like my dad." Zhang Li said.

"Masters are like that—" Li Shuang said, "My feet hurt from standing all morning, so I won't wear high heels tomorrow."

"Who told you to wear it? You're so big and you wear high heels, it looks like no one is taller than you." Zhang Li said.

"Isn't it the first day I came here? Who knows that I will stop all morning."

"You can wear flat heels tomorrow, don't worry, no one is taller than you."

"You have to wear flat heels." Li Shuang made up his mind, "I won't take the blame. After dinner, I will go upstairs and take off my shoes and lie down for a while. I'm exhausted."

Zhang Li said: "I didn't tell you to work hard, you are so delicate!"

Li Shuang said: "It's better to do some work, you are not tired by standing, I am tired anyway."

I smiled at Li Shuang to show comfort.

Ask Zhang Li: "How do you feel this morning?"

"It's okay, the business is very good, the attendance rate is 80.00%, so it's good for lunch." Zhang Li said.

Li Shuang said: "I see that the private rooms on the third floor are fully booked at night, and the second floor is also booked a lot. It must be busy at night."

"Busy at night, like this every day." I said.

"I think Manager Guo should have seen that I came here to be a manager. I sat at the bar all morning and didn't come out, and I didn't say anything." Zhang Li said.

"Can't you see it? You'll know it's the manager when you go to that stop. Who would believe it if it's a waiter?" I said.

"You mean I can't be a waiter."

"Strong words make sense."

"Cut! If you dare to say that about me, try another person."

Li Shuang pointed to Du Dapeng who was eating at the dining table by the window and said, "Master Tan, are you looking at that chef?"

I glanced over there.

"Look, what's the matter, do you know him?"

"I don't know." Li Shuang said a little angrily: "When I went to the second floor to familiarize myself with the countertops in the morning, he whistled at me from the kitchen door and teased me, you little rascal."

"You didn't fuck him?" I joked.

"I don't need to talk to him, come here on the first day, don't cause trouble, wait for me to do something here, hmph, Xiao Mian, my mother told him how serious the consequences of flirting are."

"How serious is it? You even raped him." Zhang Li said.

I almost spit out my mouthful of food, this woman is cruel enough.

In the evening, Mr. Huo came back from get off work and talked with Zhang Li and Li Shuang for a long time.

I was not there when they were talking, and I was cooking on the stove. After I was done, the waiter came and called me, saying that Mr. Huo called me, and told me to go to the office on the sixth floor.

When I came to the office, I saw the third boss, Mr. Huo, the master, Zhang Li and Li Shuang were all there.

Say hello to everyone and find a seat.

The third boss said: "Tanzi, I didn't expect you to be very energetic. You know a managerial talent like Manager Zhang."

I smiled and said: "This is also fate. It is fate to know Manager Zhang. I have learned a lot from her."

The third boss laughed and joked, "Manager Zhang said he learned it from you, but you said he learned it from Manager Zhang. Who did you two learn from?"

"Master, we learn from each other and make progress together."

The third boss laughed.

"Speaking of business, you didn't come up just now. I chatted a lot with your master, Mr. Huo, Manager Zhang, and Minister Li. If our family wants to move forward, we need your master. My name is brother, like the old man. Veteran craftsmen like Brother are in charge to check our products and defend our position. In addition, young management talents like you and Manager Zhang are needed to change our old and traditional management methods and fill them with freshness. blood."

"It won't work if you don't need another blood transfusion, and now all of them have formed blood clots. We touched each other, and we recognize Manager Zhang and Minister Li you introduced very much. First, I will give you a big credit."

Speaking of which, the third boss looked at Zhang Li.

"There is still a floor manager who is not here, come tomorrow, right, Manager Zhang."

Zhang Li nodded and said, "Yes, come tomorrow."

The third boss went on to say: "We have decided to appoint Zhang Li as the front desk manager of our family, and Li Shuang as the second-floor manager. Three days later, the chairman will return from Japan, and a management meeting will be held at that time, and a unified announcement will be held at the meeting. Mr. Huo and I will follow you Master has been talking for a long time, and he plans to appoint you as the executive chef."

Speaking of these three bosses, they glanced at Master.

"Your master disagrees with life and death—"

I laughed.

"Uncle, I can't be the executive chef. Even if my master promises me, I won't do it. I just come to our house to practice my skills and I don't want to be a manager. Let's stop talking about this matter." I refused directly : "To be honest, I don't even want to manage the kitchen on the third floor, I just want to stop cooking."

The master said to the third boss: "Look, I'm not wrong, and he himself is wrong, so you can't blame me."

"Brother, I guess it was you who told Xiao Tanzi something in advance, otherwise he wouldn't have said that." The third boss said.

"What can I tell him, I don't like my apprentice being an executive chef? It's because he doesn't want to be an executive chef. Besides, if I remember correctly, it's been more than two months. Xiao Tanzi said last sentence The next sentence is called your uncle, you agreed very happily, you haven’t given the meeting gift until now, and you even asked his child to be the executive chef for you, what do you think?” The master gave the third boss a very rude look, "You know, it's not that you look down on other people's children, but you don't look down on his master!"

The third boss laughed and said: "Brother, you are waiting for me here, I am too busy to forget."

"It's too late now." Master said to me: "Remember, Xiao Tan, he doesn't want us, and he doesn't want to be the executive chef. We just fry our dishes, and other things have nothing to do with us."

I laughed, and I would rather watch Master and the third boss and the older generation quarrel, but I couldn’t show it on my face, and cooperated with Master and said, "Well, we two just cook, and we like to eat whatever we like."

The guys laughed.

Mr. Huo said: "Third brother, this master is protecting the apprentice."

The third boss said: "My brother is famous for protecting the calf. He would rather mess with him than his apprentice. His old man is like that. When the old man is around, he will protect the calf." The third boss may have remembered the past and said: " The old man likes me and treats me well, but I don’t want to cook. If I would, I would have become the old man’s apprentice. At that time, I remembered, brother, don’t you remember, because I don’t want to cook, the old man scolded me a lot. "

"I forgot, I don't know, I just remembered that you took away the old man's hand knife and hid it. The old man asked you to pack four hundred catties of yellow croaker." The master began to expose the fault of the third boss.

"Brother, save me some face, and there are juniors."

"I've saved you face for two months—"

"Tan Zi, what do you want, Master Uncle promises to bring it to you tomorrow." The third boss made up his mind.

I said, "Master uncle, no need. My master is arguing with you. I don't know if he is in a good mood today."

"If I don't give you this meeting gift, your master can bury me for the rest of my life." The third boss said.

"By the way, third child, I remember that you have several purple clay teapots in your house. If there is a thing for that thing, what are you doing with it? It's for decoration." Master said unhurriedly.

"Tomorrow, you will have one master and one student, brother."

"You can't refuse it if you give it to us. The task assigned by the boss must be completed."

The guys laughed.

The third boss asked: "Then about Xiao Tanzi being the executive chef—"

The master began to say seriously: "Xiao Tanzi is qualified to be an executive chef, but I don't think he should be called first. First, he is young. Second, he has just arrived here and has no mass base. We work with you in the kitchen. The old employees who come here, regardless of their relatives, are good at work. If they don’t work well, they can’t blame them if they don’t work hard. It’s because we didn’t manage well. Just like what Manager Zhang said just now, our family It is an old store, which has been in development for nearly 20 years, and many employees have followed us since they were children, so we can’t erase their previous work achievements just because we need to strengthen management.”

"Especially in the kitchen, some of them have been working in our family for more than ten years. They work hard, work hard, cook well, and have good personalities. Don't they want to be the head chef? They want to be, not because they are incapable, It’s because we didn’t give them a chance. What is ability? Ability comes from training, and we didn’t ask them to exercise. We just hired an outsider to be the chef. Can he accept it? What's the matter, working for more than ten years is not as good as someone who just came here for two months, it's chilling."

The master spoke with sincerity, and the third boss and Mr. Huo both nodded.

"Let me tell you, a restaurant like ours does not rely on these old employees to do it bit by bit. It doesn't matter if we are bosses or executives, we can't chill the hearts of the employees who came with us. Well, if the hearts of the people are cold, the hearts will be scattered, and they will not be able to take back. At that time, there is no use in having the best management, and the company will collapse faster. It’s not that I don’t ask Xiao Tanzi to be the chef, and it’s not that Xiao Tanzi is the chef. Tan Zi doesn’t want to be the head chef, and I’m going to make you difficult. Our father and I are considering this, so this head chef can’t be. Now my father and father are as low-key as possible, cooking in the kitchen, focusing on the quality of the dishes, and stabilizing people’s hearts. Let everyone watch our family start to have vitality and development trend. We gather everyone’s hearts together, this is what we should do, isn’t it more important than being a chef?”

After Master finished speaking, the room fell into silence, and everyone was savoring Master's words.

After a while, Zhang Li spoke first.

"I agree with Mr. Huang. Mr. Huang is right. We can't let the employees who have worked with us for so many years be disappointed. Whether Master Tan is the chief chef is not the point. The point is that Mr. Huang and Master Tan are in the kitchen. We The production is guaranteed, and at the same time, it can focus the chefs' attention on the dishes, not on who is the head chef."

I said: "Uncle Master, Mr. Huo, my master and I are always in the kitchen, and we may see more and more clearly. In fact, whether it is front desk management or kitchen management, the quality of management mainly depends on what the managers are doing. What, what do managers pay attention to? Our management focuses on the dishes, then the chef will follow us to focus on the dishes, we focus on the personnel arrangement, then the employees will focus on In the study of the art of war. We have gone through many detours before, and now we need to straighten the detours, and we cannot go any further.”

"The work my master and I are doing now is to focus the chef's attention on the dishes, and at the same time send the signal to the kitchen staff that only when the dishes are well prepared and the skills are improved can they be qualified to speak. My master is not the head chef, and I also Not being the head chef is to give a clear signal to those old employees that we are not here to be officials, but to do things. As long as anyone can cook well and do things well, we can train him to be the head chef. These What my master and I have to do is to give the kitchen brothers confidence and hope instead of stifling their hope."

"We want to continue to develop. In addition to talents with management capabilities, we also need a strong workforce who is willing to follow us. Our current workforce is a team that has always been very good. I dare not say anything else , At least 60.00% of the employees in our family will not leave even if you drive him away, because he has worked with us for too long and has feelings. Such a loyal employee cannot be found in other houses with lanterns , but our family has, not only has, at least 60.00%, what is this, this is our hope for development, it is the backing of development."

"Before we experienced a lot of personnel arrangements, the employees were at a loss. They didn't know what to do, and they didn't know whether their hard work was useful. This is the situation in our family. Many employees think that hard work is not as good as a strong relationship. If the relationship is strong, Linjiangxuan can go smoothly. If the relationship is not strong, it is useless. We can only work honestly. Therefore, the employees have no enthusiasm, no motivation for work, and no support for the development of the company."

"Now we want to change this status quo, so we must first focus on the work of the staff, the focus of the chef on the cooking, and the attention of the waiters on the service. This is the first step we need to take. The basic step is the key step to lay the first stone. Therefore, I suggest that the management meeting held after the chairman returns, we should not hold the meeting as an appointment meeting, but a real work assignment meeting. We only Talk about work, don't talk about other things, first send a clear signal to all managers, do a good job and talk about performance!"

To be honest, even Master gave me a round of applause after I finished speaking this time, I am so proud.

"Brother, it would be great if you came earlier—" the third boss said to Master with some emotion:
"It's useless to say that, I'm thinking of coming over tomorrow and bringing the purple clay pot!"
