The story of a cook

Chapter 412 Zhang Li's Blind Date
Xie Xiufen's restaurant has started to be renovated. I saw the renderings. The design is very good, with a Chinese style, very simple, giving people a clean and bright feeling.

After the old age, Wang didn't come to learn the smoked flavor again, and he has learned almost the same, and can operate independently.

I made the standards for ten hot dishes and twelve cold dishes, and at the same time made the production process of each dish, and handed it over to Xie Xiufen, and asked her to hand it over to the cold dish master and chef, so that they could familiarize themselves with it before the restaurant opened. If you are familiar with it, ask me if you don’t know it, and I will explain it to them.

Xie Xiufen's older sister cooks the cold dishes, his younger uncle, Lao Wang's younger brother cooks, and Xie Xiufen's natal sister-in-law makes the dumplings, all of them are family members.

I wrote down the recipes for making dumpling stuffing and cooking dumpling noodles and gave them to Xie Xiufen, asking her to give them to her sister-in-law, so that she could try to make them at home when she had nothing to do, and at the same time practice rolling the dough with both hands.Dumpling making is performed directly in front of customers in the open. Rolling the skin with both hands is not only fast, but also performative, which can attract customers.Xie Xiufen’s sister-in-law understood the dumpling stuffing and dumpling noodles for a whole week, and she made a few of the same stuffing for me to try. It’s okay, but the noodles are a bit sticky. I told her the reason for the sticky noodles and told her to go back and continue. practice.

Her sister-in-law didn't understand how to roll the dumpling wrappers with both hands, so she took an afternoon break to go to her house to teach her how to hold a rolling pin, how to use force, and how to roll.It worked a little bit, at least it looked a little bit better.Rolling leather with both hands is a skilled job, and it is not learned all at once. After mastering the essentials, there is no shortcut, only hard work and hard work.

Sister Jiang in the tavern is also an investor, I have to take care of Sister Jiang's face, she treats me well.

Let hot dish chefs and cold dish chefs make designed dishes at home, and the production of each dish must meet the prescribed standards.Every other day, they will make four dishes at Sister Jiang's house, and I will taste them after get off work in the evening, and explain to them how to deal with the deficiencies.Sometimes I make it myself on the spot, and they watch it from the sidelines. After watching it, I ask them to make it again in front of me, until they are qualified.

While teaching them, I also learned a lot, and my rigor has been greatly improved.I am the person who sets the standards. First of all, I have to meet the standards. If I can’t do it myself and ask others to do it, then the standards cannot be implemented. This is a big taboo in management.

What is the best management?Simply put in four words: lead by example.

What kind of management method is best?Also four words: on-site management.

Although the tavern is a small restaurant, although the sparrow is small and well-equipped, it cannot lose management and standards just because the store is small.Any big store develops from a small store. If the foundation is not well laid at the beginning, it is laying the foundation for losing money.

I go to work every day, and teach them how to cook every other day. Every day is full of things and very fulfilling.When I teach them how to cook, I will take Bao Peng with me. The children are very serious after going to the Internet cafe. After the Chinese New Year, they brought me a little stupid chicken. Take care of him well, not to mention that he likes this child very much.

After the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the chef who cooks Thai food came to inspect the restaurant. He felt that the restaurant was very good, and the open space was enough. After negotiating with the boss, he began to prepare Thai food.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, there will be many diseases.

Zhang Li woke up in the morning and found that it was already nine o'clock, so she hurriedly dressed up.Today is the day to meet my father and his comrade-in-arms son. We are scheduled to meet at Santaizi Square at 10:30 in the morning. It’s already nine o’clock, so hurry up.

Wash your face, brush your teeth, wash your hair, blow your hair, put on makeup, and look for clothes. It's ten o'clock after a set.Standing in front of the mirror and looking at myself, it's okay, quite satisfied.Then start going downstairs.

10 minutes from Zhang Li's house to the small square.When he was about to arrive, Zhang Li saw a man wearing a black sports down jacket standing there, standing out from the crowd, with a pair of glasses on his face.I thought it should be him, and the people next to me were either old men or old ladies or children, there were no young people.To be on the safe side, I still took out my mobile phone and dialed the phone number I reserved in advance.

Seeing the man take out the phone from his pocket, I thought it was him.

"Hi, hello." The man said.

"Hi, I saw you, are you wearing glasses and a black down jacket?" Zhang Li asked.

"Yes, it's me." The man looked around and saw Zhang Li.

Zhang Li hung up the phone, and her heart skipped a few times. It was her first blind date, so she was a little nervous.I said nervously, isn't it just seeing a man, and it doesn't kill anyone.

The two walked together and stopped one meter apart.

"Hi, I'm Zhang Li, have you been waiting here for a long time?" Zhang Li greeted generously.

"Not long." The man smiled shyly, reached out to shake Zhang Li, and then introduced himself, "I'm Liu Zhigang."

Zhang Li looked at Liu Zhigang. He was not too handsome, but he was very bright. His image could be rated as [-] points. Wearing glasses is a bit bookish, and it would be fine without glasses.

"Your family belongs to Sandaizi?" Zhang Li asked.

"Well, Taoyuan New Village." Liu Zhigang replied.

"It's not far from here, did you walk here?" Zhang Li asked.

"Oh, I came by walking, 10 minutes." Liu Zhigang seemed a little nervous.

"I didn't go to work today, did you ask for leave?"

"It's off today, we're on holiday for the Spring Festival."

"Are you still hanging out?"

"Well, there are tasks this year, and our department doesn't have a holiday, so everyone rests together."

Zhang Li nodded, and then she didn't know what to say, she was speechless.

She had nothing to say, and Liu Zhigang had nothing to say, and the scene was a bit awkward.

Zhang Li looked up at the sky, the weather was fine, without clouds, very blue.

"The weather is fine today, let's go for a walk." Zhang Li said.

"Okay." Liu Zhigang hastily agreed.

The two began to stroll.

Liu Zhigang's father and Zhang Li's father were in the same company when they were soldiers, and the friendship between them is a friendship that will never be forgotten in a lifetime.Their hometowns are not far away. After being demobilized, Zhang Li's father went back to the countryside, doing business and transportation in the countryside, and lived a good life.Liu Zhigang's father was assigned to the Sujiatun Education Bureau after returning from the army, and his job was also very good.

Zhang Li's father's heart bypass surgery was performed at Sujiatun Specialist Hospital, and the old comrade-in-arms Liu Zhigang's father was looking for at that time.I don't know that the old comrade-in-arms retired early due to eye problems, and his family is no longer in Sujiatun, and moved to Santaizi.After getting in touch, the old comrade immediately went to Sujiatun to find an acquaintance, arranged for Zhang Li's father to have an examination, was admitted to the hospital, and asked a doctor for an operation.The two old comrades-in-arms hadn't seen each other for many years, and they chatted a lot together. When they talked about the child, they were moved to be in-laws, but it didn't matter what they said, and the child agreed.

Unexpectedly, neither of the two children was in a hurry, and they hadn't seen each other for a year.

This time, it was Zhang Li who told her father that they could meet and get to know each other, and that's why they had this blind date.

Zhang Li's impression of Liu Zhigang is not bad, neither good nor bad, he seems to be a very gentle person, if he lives with such a person, it's not bad, at least it's safe.

After graduating from university, Liu Zhigang recruited to work in the [-] Research Institute. Now he is not a regular worker, but a part-time worker.Now in the postgraduate entrance examination, the graduate student can only sign a formal contract with the unit after signing the contract. After signing the contract, he is regarded as an internal employee.

The two chatted a lot for a while, most of which were Zhang Li asking Liu Zhigang to answer.In the end, Liu Zhigang invited Zhang Li to dinner, and Zhang Li said that she had to go to work soon and see her next time.So the two said goodbye happily and made an appointment to have dinner together next time.

Zhang Li walked back alone, in a good or bad mood, but felt that she had a blind date experience, which was quite fun.Xin said why it felt like he was going on a blind date to complete a task. Except for the nervousness at the beginning of the meeting, why was he not excited at all after that.Maybe it's because I'm old.He is just 33, four years younger than me, can he do it?He grew quite big, but he looked like a child, as if he just came out of school, and didn't understand anything.If he doesn't have any opinions, it's okay to go everywhere first, although there is no spark, let's touch it slowly in the future, and let it happen.

She didn't know that Liu Zhigang was very satisfied with her. This was the woman she was looking for, mature, stable, majestic and full of femininity.It's best to find a woman like this. You don't have to worry about anything at home, and you are only responsible for going to work to make money.

This is the woman.

Zhang Li's father called and asked her how she was doing.Zhang Li said it was okay, let's look around first.Dad was very happy when he heard this, and said that the child is very good, honest, and gets along well with others.Zhang Li said I got it, don't worry, it will be fine.

After hanging up the phone with my dad, I said something about how I feel that this person is not for me, and then I went to work directly.

Li Shuang was quite breathless during the Spring Festival. She had agreed to go back to his hometown for the New Year with Master Tong. Who knew that she was about to leave the front desk and left two ministers at once. She had no choice but to stay in the store and stand up.Now that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is over, the minister has not been recruited yet, and there is no need to go to Master Tong's house. It is of no use whether to go or not after the year is over.

In the evening when she was about to get off work, Zhang Li called and said that she wanted to have a drink with her, but she could not bring Master Tong.It was the first time I heard Zhang Li say not to bring Master Tong, and I felt that something might be wrong, so I told Master Tong to go home first, and she went to drink with Zhang Li.

Laoba BBQ, a long-lost place.

Two beautiful women eating barbecue and drinking wine.

"I didn't expect that, you went on a blind date today, tell me what does that guy look like?" Li Shuang immediately asked after Zhang Li said that he went on a blind date today.

"It's okay, she's quite tall, 1.8 meters." Zhang Li said.

"Is he handsome?" Li Shuang asked.

"It's not handsome, but it's quite attractive to look at."

"Isn't 1.8 meters handsome?"

"Get out, you're handsome if you're big." Zhang Libai gave Li Shuang a look.

Li Shuang didn't care, and smiled and said, "It seems that you agree, otherwise you wouldn't come out to drink."

Zhang Li said: "I don't agree or disagree with this, how old am I?"

"You can say that you will never find someone in this life, and plan to give birth to a child for the boss." Li Shuang said.

"I think, people have to count." Zhang Li said angrily.Then said: "I'm already 37, it's time to find someone."

"It's time to look for it, you should have looked for it long ago." Li Shuang said, "You have to wait until now."

"Isn't it that I have never met the right one?" Zhang Li said.

"It's not that you haven't met the right one, it's that you haven't been thinking about it." Li Shuang said: "I don't know if others don't know. You have always put your heart on the boss. Even if there are men who like you, you can see Not eye-catching."

"Don't talk nonsense from there, what's so good about him, I still put my heart on him?" Zhang Li refused to admit Li Shuang's statement.

"Who knows, I don't know if it's good or not, don't ask me, ask yourself." Li Shuang said.

The two took a sip of wine.

Zhang Li asked: "What do you think Lao Tan knows about my blind date?"

Li Shuang looked at Zhang Li, and said seriously after a while: "Eldest sister, I have wanted to tell you a long time ago, so don't worry about your boss. People have families and jobs, and now they have children, so you still worry about it." What? Tell me about the two of you. If you say it’s a tie, it’s okay. If you say it’s not a tie, you two are fine, but there’s nothing left to do. Let me tell you, even if the two of you are together What's wrong with sleeping together? Can you marry him or he can marry you? It's impossible, if possible, he wouldn't be the boss anymore."

"Let me tell you, people have to let go when it's time to let go. It's yours that can't run away, and it's not yours that can't catch it. The two of you just have no destiny. Why make yourself so tired? You can't fix it. In the end, we couldn't even make friends."

Zhang Li didn't speak, and drank alone.

Li Shuang went on to say: "Sister, you are not young, you will be forty soon, it is impossible to live alone in this life, sooner or later you have to find one, after all, you don't want a child in this life Huh? We won't even be able to have children in two years, so you won't regret it then?"

"I know what you said, aren't you working hard now?" Zhang Li said.

"Just work hard." Li Shuang said, "Tell me, what does that man do?"

"Working in the [-] Research Institute."

"It's a good unit. Others can't find it if they want to find it."

"It's not a formal job either, it's a postgraduate entrance examination."

"College student? All right, if you have a moment, make a college student."

"Don't say it so disgusting, anyway, I'm also a junior college student."

"I didn't see it, your junior college is all you need to eat, ha ha."

"Go away, a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory."

"A dog whose mouth can spit out ivory is no longer a dog. It is a rare species protected by the state."
