The story of a cook

Chapter 426 Future Planning of the Tavern
Since I came out to work, I have not been home to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with my mother. I think it is unfilial.I called Fifth Sister, and Fifth Sister said that there is no need to go back for the holidays. Everyone is harvesting autumn and they are all busy. The three of them go back to spend the holidays with their mother. This is the case every year.Tell me not to worry about my mother. My mother is in good health and can eat and drink, but I miss my grandson a little bit.

I told Fifth Sister that I couldn’t go back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and our family of three would go back together during the Chinese New Year.

I will definitely go back during the Chinese New Year.

My mother, Lin Yan, and my son are four members of our family. My mother celebrates the festival with my fifth sister’s family in my hometown. Lin Yan and my son celebrate the festival at my mother-in-law’s house. Helpless.

Sister Jiang asked me to go to her house for the holiday.

Sister Jiang and Zheng Jiaqi prepared a lot at home. Mooncakes, fruits, and meals were all ready. I used to eat ready-made ones.

"Is the restaurant not busy today?" Sister Jiang asked.

I said, "I'm not busy today, not only not busy but also a little free."

"Fuxin celebrates the August Festival like this. They all go home, unlike your provincial capital, who don't want to cook at home and go to restaurants to eat." Sister Jiang said.

"In a few years, I will have to go to restaurants to eat. No one wants to make it at home. It's too troublesome." Zheng Jiaqi said.

"Don't worry, it will be an era of zero housework in the future, especially the generation born in the [-]s. They have almost no housework. They eat at the breakfast shop in the morning, order takeaway at noon, and eat at a small restaurant in the evening. They will never go back to my mother's house to eat. Laundry and delivery Dry cleaners, clean up and find housekeeping once a week, and home is just a place to sleep.” I said.

"It has to be a big city like the provincial capital. Fuxin is not enough, and it needs to be developed for ten years." Sister Jiang said.

"It's not too soon, ten years is not too soon, it will be there in a flash." I said.

There are Panjin River crabs on the table. I asked Sister Jiang how much I bought them per catty, and Sister Jiang said 28 per catty.I ate one that was quite fat and full of crab roe.These crabs cost 41 catties at least in the provincial capital, and they are even more expensive during the holidays.

The three of us drank and chatted.

I asked: "Should Xiao Gao and Ye Yurong come back tomorrow?"

Zheng Jiaqi said: "Well, the two of them will come back tomorrow, and Sister Ye brought a waiter, his uncle and sister."

I asked: "Have you rented the dormitory for the past two days?"

Sister Jiang said: "I rented it. It's not far from the hotel. It's quite big. My brother-in-law made it up. The dormitory of the Mining Bureau used to be in good condition, and there was a shower."

"How many people can live?" I asked.

"It's okay to live with more than ten people, three rooms, four people in one room, just like the old guest house." Sister Jiang said.

"That's fine, enough." I said.

"It's not much money, one thousand in half a year." Sister Jiang said.

I said, "That's because of your brother-in-law's face. If you don't look at your brother-in-law's face, you can't rent it."

"Their house has been idle for several years, and we rent it to generate income for them." Sister Jiang laughed.

That's right, the Mining Bureau's family has a big business, and it's not bad for the money.

Employee dormitories have to be rented, and employees have to rest well.

I said to Zheng Jiaqi: "You have prepared cold dishes and smoked flavors, and you can't handle it alone. In addition, I also served four casserole dishes, which were also served on the open stall. By then, you will not be able to handle it anymore. Listen to me." , find a cold dish master."

"What did I say? You promise you won't be too busy. Brother Tan should also say it now." Sister Jiang said.

"I've been thinking about this for the past two days. I'm a bit busy alone, so I can find someone if I can't." Zheng Jiaqi said.

She is in charge of the smoked flavor alone, and she also has to take care of the cold dishes and take care of the casserole, which is really a bit overwhelming.This is the job of two people, one person is responsible for the smoke, and the other is responsible for cold dishes and casseroles.

"It's not the right person either." Zheng Jiaqi said.

"The cold dishes I used to cook in Huofenghuang were quite good. The young man stood at attention while working. He called me the last two days and said that he had just come down and asked him to cook cold dishes." Sister Jiang said.

I said, "Okay, let him come over, he can still smoke."

So this guy was appointed to make cold dishes, Zheng Jiaqi was in charge of smoked dishes and casserole, Xiaogao was working as a chopping board part-time, Ye Yurong was in charge of dumplings, Jiang Jie and Ye Yurong's uncle and sister were serving at the front desk and part-time as the cashier at the bar.

There are enough people.

I said: "You two should do a good job, and try to build up our smoked flavor tavern. Fuxin will be the only one and develop four chains."

"If I don't want to do it again, I will do it right away." Sister Jiang said ambitiously: "Didn't they kick me out? If they kicked me out, I will kick them out of Fuxin. Fuxin must be done. Our family has the best smoked flavor, and try to stabilize the FX market in three years, and then—” Looking at Zheng Jiaqi and saying: “Sister, didn’t you always want to open a store in the provincial capital? When the time comes, we will enter the provincial capital and open a branch .”

"I think it's okay, we two sisters will do a good job of the 'sisters' brand, so as to save the whole province,"

Infected by Sister Jiang, Zheng Jiaqi also gained momentum.

People have to do something in their life, otherwise life is meaningless.

If you do something, you will not be successful, but if you don't do it, you will not be successful.

If you want to enjoy the joy of success, you have to work hard.

Inspired by the two of them, I said: "I believe you two will be able to do a good job, and I am optimistic about you."

Sister Jiang said: "I know, Brother Tan, unless I quit, I will do it decently. I'm 43 this year, and I can't live by being young like before. I know what I am. We are not like that. I I always feel that people have to do something in life, and you can’t just sit and eat, it’s no different from eating and waiting to die. After working in catering for these years, I’m familiar with restaurants, and I don’t believe that I can’t work in this tavern.”

"In addition, Jiaqi and I still hit it off, and we promise to make money together. This year, I don't ask for anything else, I will open the first one, and then it will be the same as you said, brother, regardless of whether you earn money or not. It’s about cultivating internal strength, laying the foundation well, and then thinking about developing after the foundation is laid.”

I said, "Miss, you are right to think so. First, you have to practice your internal skills well and lay a solid foundation. Then you can develop quickly."

"Do you know what I'm thinking?" Sister Jiang stared at me and asked.

"What do you think?"

"This store is guaranteed to open this year. Wait until May of the new year, that is, around May [-]st. I estimate that the cost can be recovered, and I will start the second store immediately. At that time, Jiaqi—" Sister Jiang turned her head and said to Zheng Jiaqi: "You can't be in the kitchen anymore. When we started to decorate the second store during the Chinese New Year, you started to manage the store at home, and at the same time, you were responsible for training our kitchen staff, especially the smoker. You have to train a successor and let him be in charge of the smoker. What are you? You are the boss, the food director of our family, and the lifeblood is in your hands. I am responsible for the decoration and opening of the store outside, and you are responsible for managing the training and copying at home. Dare to challenge our sisters."

Zheng Jiaqi smiled and asked, "Sister, do you still want to take down Xie Xiufen's store?"

"That's necessary. Her family's business is not very good now. After we withdraw, they will arrange it by themselves. I heard that the price of vegetables set by brother Tan is low, so they raised the price of vegetables. Now many customers don't eat. .”

"Can't our family open up against hers?" Zheng Jiaqi said.

"Guaranteed." Sister Jiang said: "Peers are enemies. As long as they are peers, there is competition. Whoever does well will have more customers and earn money. It's useless to be jealous. If you have the ability, you can kill me. If you don't, I'll kill you."

"A shopping mall is like a battlefield." Zheng Jiaqi said with emotion.

"It's not the same as the battlefield." Sister Jiang said.

"I don't think so." I said: "It is said that shopping malls are like battlefields, and colleagues are enemies. I thought so at first, but after participating in management for these years, I don't think so. What is a battlefield? Soldiers, deceitful ways The battlefield is a confrontation between two armies. No matter what method or conspiracy is used, whoever defeats the other will win, and he will be the winner. The shopping mall is different. What is the shopping mall? Businessmen also have integrity. Doing business depends on integrity Whether you open a restaurant or a factory, you must pay attention to honesty, and only those who are honest can make money, otherwise you can say that honesty wins the world."

"So when we open a restaurant, we must put integrity first. Don't think about who is our opponent. We will win if we kill the opponent. Regardless of what other people do, just be yourself and put yourself in a leading position.”

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, looked at Sister Jiang, and then said: "Sister, I admire what you said the most, if you don't do it, do it decently, be the first in Fuxin, develop the whole province, and even go out Development, the three northeastern provinces and the whole country are fine, that’s what we have to do. But first of all, don’t set up opponents for yourself. To be honest, we have no opponents and no enemies. The so-called opponents are our own. In terms of position, if you don’t let him go, you will not be an opponent. We only do our own, make good products and services, operate with integrity, establish a brand, and have cheap and fair prices. Let the people recognize us and let the people say yes, that is Our word of mouth. Once word of mouth is established, it will be difficult to think about it, and customers will push you to develop. We must be clear about our goals and what to do. What do we do? It is to make the smoked flavor that ordinary people love to eat, and to make it Do a good job of Xunwei, be the first, and then we don’t need to make a move, and the so-called opponent will lose by himself.”

"My brother is right. Compared with my brother, my sister has a smaller heart." Sister Jiang said.

"Sister, you are not small-minded, you are bigger than me, and you have a big stomach." I said, "You are almost like a man, even stronger than a man."

"You are bragging about my sister. My sister is not that good. After all, she is a woman, and sometimes she has a small belly." After talking, she laughed, "I was a little small just now, but it is our female nature to have a small belly, and my sister also complained by the way. Save yourself from holding your breath.”

"Sister, don't hold your breath all the time, it's not good for your health." Zheng Jiaqi smiled and said, "I've been willing to be angry since I was a child, and I didn't tell others when I was angry, and I held it by myself. I can't have children in this life."

After she finished speaking, Sister Jiang and I laughed.

I said: "Many diseases in people are caused by qi. Excessive qi hurts the body. Excessive qi hurts the liver first. If the liver is not good, the stomach is also bad. Chinese medicine says that the liver and stomach are against the spleen, and the spleen belongs to the soil. If it is not good for people's digestion, it will not be good, and it will be sick at that time. In fact, this is the same as doing business with people. It is all about harmony and wealth. How much wealth and IQ a person has in this life has something to do with ability, but not much, I think It is related to people’s blessings.”

"How many people you care for with your own ability, you will have as much blessing, and as much blessing as you have, you will have as much wealth. Don't worry, even if those wicked people make money, the money is not his, and it will have to be returned at that time , he doesn't have that great blessing, and he can't bear that much wealth."

"My brother is right, people can't do without virtue, otherwise how can we say that virtue carries value." Sister Jiang said.

"People have to do good deeds at any time, set their conscience right, and feel comfortable earning money for their conscience." Zheng Jiaqi said.

"Sometimes I think that doing business is the same as being a human being, and cooking is the same as being a human being. If a person does well, doing business is also based on integrity, earning conscience money, and not cheating. People who do well cook and cook. It’s good, the dishes made look atmospheric and taste good. If someone does not cook well, the dishes made look like dogs and shrimps, and they can’t be served on the table. I may not be a boss in my life, but I can be a A good cook will do."

"Brother, you are a nice person. Everyone thinks highly of you." Sister Jiang said.

"Boss, you are really good." Zheng Jiaqi also said.

It feels good to be praised by others, so I also smiled modestly, and then changed the subject and said: "Just now, Sister Jiang planned very well. She will open the tavern first this year. Don't rush to develop it. Cultivate your internal strength and wait until you have completed your internal strength." Further development. The two of you make a feasible plan and divide the work among yourself. Sister Jiang, you are in charge of external development, and Jiaqi, you are in charge of internal training. There is only one goal, which is to make the brand of "Sisters" bigger."

"I went to the market to investigate and found three raw materials, one is frozen big bones, and the other is the chicken head and chicken feet of breeder chickens. I plan to make these three into our family's smoked flavor."

I told them what I thought.The big bones are used to hang soup, otherwise you have to buy fresh big bones when making soup, this time use frozen big bones to make soup, the hanging is not so hard, and the big bones can be tasty.Then smoke the big bones and sell them in pots, 28 yuan for a small pot.A pot full of smoked big bones costs less than 30 yuan, and customers can rush to buy it, mainly because it is too cheap.

The chicken paws and the necked chicken head of the breeder chicken are the most distinctive features, and the highlight is 'big'.The paws of a breeder chicken are twice as big as the paws of a meat-eating chicken. The paws of a meat-eating chicken cost three yuan each, and the paws of a breeder chicken cost five yuan.The chicken head with a neck is called "Danfeng Chaoyang", and it costs 18 yuan each. Apart from being "big", it gives customers the feeling that it is novel, cheap and delicious.The head of a breeder chicken with a neck weighs more than a catty, and the chubby one is as big as a pig's trotter. Customers will definitely like it.

These three smoked flavors are the main ones. The big bones are cheap and affordable. The breeder chicken head and breeder feet can be said to be the only ones, which are already attractive.

After I finished speaking, they both agreed.Now that the kitchen is ready for use, Zheng Jiaqi plans to buy the big bones, breeder chicken heads, and chicken feet tomorrow and try it out.I told her that it's best to negotiate with the breeder, chicken head and chicken feet. They can't be out of stock, and they can only supply the tavern.
