The story of a cook

Chapter 460 Just Don’t Call A Drunkard
After I was busy in the evening, I went to Hongfu Restaurant and made an appointment with Master Li to have a drink together.The past two weeks have been really busy, busy at noon and busy at night, and it hasn't stopped.

After waiting for a while after ordering, Master Li came, along with Master Du.

Master Du never came out to drink, this was the first time, he was a little curious to come.

"Why do you want to drink today?" I asked Master Du.

"I just want to drink, but if you don't take me with you, you won't be able to enter your circle." Master Du said.

I laughed and said, "I didn't see you drinking, and you wouldn't come if I called you."

"Brother, don't you know, why don't you leave after get off work? We were about to leave when another table came. Only Lao Du and I were left in the kitchen. After we finished frying this table, I said to have a drink." Go, if Lao Du doesn't come, I forced him to come." Master Li said.

"Actually, I also want to drink, otherwise I won't come." Master Du said.

Now that you're here, sit down and have a drink.

Not long after we sat down, Lao Guo, a coarse grain man, came. He didn't know we were there, so he came over to have a drink. Since we met, he couldn't ask him to drink alone, but to come and sit down together.

Added two more dishes, brought up the wine and started drinking.

Lao Guo is a talkative person, so he asked Master Du: "Old Du, I heard that Lao Zhao and Manager Chen are making noise today?"

Master Du said: "The news spread very quickly, you know all about this?"

"How big is our house, farts can be heard here." Old Guo said.

"Your description is too appropriate." Master Du said, "Yes, the two of them became noisy at noon."

"The two of them are doing business, and they are both old men's celebrities, so it depends on who is better." Lao Guo said.

"Who is the best? There are almost few of them." Master Du said.

I don't have the habit of chatting about Lao Zhao and Manager Chen.

I said to Lao Guo: "Old Guo, how is your family doing recently?"

"Busy, non-stop, as if you don't need money for dinner." Lao Guo said.

"How much can you sell in a day?" I asked.

"Forty or fifty thousand." Lao Guo said, feeling a little bit showing off when he said it.

"Then your business, the old store only sells [-] a day, and sometimes [-]." Master Du said.

"It's a lot for your family to buy [-] yuan. Where is the grade? If you sell it for [-] yuan, it will catch up with my family." Lao Guo said.

Master Li said to Lao Guo: "The grade of our old store is not as high as yours. If it is of the same grade as yours, it can sell for [-] to [-]."

Lao Guo said: "What if you sell our coarse grains for [-] to [-] yuan? This old man is not happy."

I said: "In terms of area and business items, it is normal for an old store to sell [-] a day, but your coarse grains should be [-] a day."

"Okay, Old Tan, it's fine for me to sell like this. Don't make a high profile." Old Guo said.

I smiled, then picked up the wine glass and said, "I'm not high-profile, I just speak vernacular, come, have a drink."

After drinking for a while, Lao Guo said: "Xiao Wei is back today, and I will study the dishes when I see it."

"Really? Are you back?" Master Du asked.

The Wei chef they both talked about came back, they didn't know what was going on, and they didn't want to inquire, so they lit a cigarette and smoked.

"That little Wei hasn't been home these days?" Master Li asked curiously.

"You don't even know about this?" Old Guo asked, as if everyone should know that Chef Wei is not at home.

"I don't know." Master Li said, and then asked: "What did he do?"

"I went to study, and the old man sent me to learn from Dongfang Cuisine. Isn't there a Little Red Riding Hood study tour group in Dongfang Cuisine now, and I went to study and study across the country." Lao Guo said, listening to his meaning, he didn't go Very jealous.

Dongfang Cuisine does hold a "Little Red Riding Hood" national study tour for catering professionals, once every two months, chefs and managers of various hotels can sign up to participate, one-stop inspection of a city with a relatively developed catering industry, for a period of three days, three days Time to examine eight of the city's more famous restaurants.You can directly enter the restaurant for inspection, or you can enter the kitchen to visit and study, and communicate face-to-face with other chefs and chefs.

This is a great learning opportunity, recognized and supported by catering people across the country.Not only can you learn good dishes, but you can also learn good management models, which will greatly promote the management of your restaurant.

Unexpectedly, the old man also noticed this catering trend and asked Chef Wei to learn, which is a good thing.This time they should go to Guangdong. I saw in the magazine "Oriental Cuisine" that the city visited in this issue is Guangdong.

In fact, if the old man wants to improve the management of the restaurant, he should send the three head chefs and the three managers to study. Going to a well-managed restaurant to study hard will be good for the management of his restaurant.

We need investment to do anything. If our management is not good, then we should go out and go to a well-managed restaurant to learn, learn their advanced management experience, and rectify and improve our own management after returning.

This is also the development trend of the catering industry.

Hearing that Chef Wei went out to study, Master Li asked, "He went alone, why didn't Lao Zhao go?"

"Old Zhao is not favored now, and he opposes the old man in everything, so the old man can still send him?" Lao Guo said.

Master Du said: "It was Lao Zhao himself who asked not to go. Lao Zhao went there once last time, and he didn't fix anything after he came back. The old man was very angry."

Lao Guo asked: "Do you know why the old man transferred Manager Chen to the old shop?"

Master Du said: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that even if Manager Chen and Lao Chen are separated, it will not work. The bakery will soon become theirs. Sometimes the old man can't speak a word."

Lao Guo smiled and said: "You just saw something. It means to separate Lao Chen from Manager Chen, but that's not the case. You don't know what the old man is like. He has been in charge of him all his life. He has never seen him before. A bakery I haven’t paid attention to it yet. It feels like what you said. The bakery is almost owned by Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen. If your boss likes that too, then you’re going to use the shop as your own business. Boss It's too late to be happy."

"The main reason is that Lao Zhao and Manager Zhang don't get along, and they always fight. The old man wants to transfer Manager Zhang to the office and find a new partner for Lao Zhao. If he doesn't transfer Manager Zhang, he will have to transfer Lao Zhao away. Where will Lao Zhao be transferred? He can't do anything, he can only work in the old shop. It's a good thing to transfer Manager Zhang to the office to watch. Manager Zhang is not stupid. He knows that the old man is protecting Lao Zhao, and he is over 40 years old. Think about it, old man The store opened and the people worked there, without credit or hard work, and finally transferred to the office, what is the difference from dismissal, why not take the initiative to ask for resignation, it looks better."

Needless to say, Lao Guo's analysis makes sense. If he didn't say it, I really didn't think about it. I always thought that Manager Zhang didn't want to work, so he mentioned his resignation.

I looked at Lao Guo and found that he could be a military adviser.

Master Du said, "That's what you said."

"It's still the same thing? That's the thing." Lao Guo's analysis was approved, and he continued: "Lao Zhao and Manager Zhang are not in harmony. The whole group knows that the old man transferred Manager Zhang to Lao Zhao, so after thinking about it, he transferred Manager Chen. I can cooperate well with Lao Zhao. Everyone knows what kind of work manager Chen is. He is better than Manager Zhang. who?"

"I think this time the old man has to face Manager Chen." Master Du said.

"What if the old man does things to Manager Chen and that old Zhao? It won't turn the world upside down." Master Li said.

"Let me tell you, you can't make it up any day. You underestimate the old man too much." Lao Guo said: "The old man has been a Communist Party cadre all his life. Who has never seen it? Who can't fix it? He has no ability to dare to open in Binhai. This big deal?"

Master Du continued what Lao Guo said: "The old man is not an ordinary person. He is also a member of the Eight Great Bureaus in our place. He is very powerful. It seems that the old man opened three restaurants just for this business, and told you that the old man does not rely on restaurants to make money at all. People have other things to buy*** This restaurant makes a lot of money, opening a restaurant is to find a place for yourself to eat, it is convenient for entertaining guests, you know."

"Then you say that the old man has other business?" Master Li was a little disbelieving.

"What are you talking about? I didn't understand after listening to it for a long time." Master Du said to Master Li: "People's shopping in our hometown is bigger and more profitable than this."

Master Li nodded, this time he understood, with a surprised expression on his face.

I don't know about these things. If Master Du doesn't say it, I think the old man's business is these three restaurants.But it's normal to think about it. The old man has a lot of resources and a wide network of contacts, so there are other business deals in the past.

The old man told me that his son works in real estate and cooperates with real estate developers in Hong Kong.

Talking about this matter seemed to arouse the topic of Lao Guo, and he continued: "Old Zhao said it himself, saying that he would not go to study this time, but in fact, the old man didn't arrange for him to go at all, he directly arranged for Xiao Wei, It is estimated that Lao Zhao is also a little bit angry because of this matter."

"That's what he told me. If it's like what you said, he promises to hold his breath." Master Du said.

"He did it all by himself." Lao Guo said, "It's a bit too exaggerated. The old man doesn't rub the sand in his eyes. Just watch it. If it doesn't work out, Lao Zhao will be laid off."

"I can't be laid off, no matter how old Zhao is, he is also a veteran, and he has made great contributions to the old shop." Master Du said.

"Hmph! Let's see, it doesn't matter if you make great contributions, you can't be a town leader if you make great achievements, and someone will kill you if you are fat." Old Guo said.

I smiled, and said to Lao Guo: "Old Guo, you have lost your talent as a cook, and you should be a military adviser."

"I think so too." Master Li smiled.

"Old Guo Xing, Lao Guo has enough brains, even if it is in our house, if it is in someone else's house, it will make trouble for the general manager." Master Du said.

"We don't have those two tricks, Xiao Wei still can't see me like this, and always wears shoes for me." Old Guo complained.

I said: "Mainly you are too smart, your existence is a threat to others."

"Old Tan is right, you are a little threatening to Xiao Wei." Master Du said.

"He is a chef. What can I threaten him? It's just that I don't like it." Lao Guo said.

"Any head chef is afraid of you, you are too good." I said.

Lao Guo looked at me and said: "Old Tan, you started to bury me. You don't know what I am like. People from our provincial capital are not like this. They are real people. If you don't see it, you just want to say a few words, uphold justice. , so you offend people."

I said: "There is nothing wrong with upholding justice, justice is at home." Then I changed the subject and said: "Don't just study this matter, it doesn't matter what kind of research you do, let's study bars."

The four of them took a sip together.

"Now you are old Tanxing, and you are famous in the group." Putting down his wine glass, Lao Guo said.

I found that if he didn't talk about himself, he would have nothing to say, and now he started talking about me.

"Why are you famous? Tell me." I asked with a smile.

"The boss of Northeast cuisine, all three restaurants cook your dishes." Old Guo said.

"I admit this, I set the standards for 'Mao Xue Wang' and 'Boiled Beef'." I said.

"That's bullshit."

I said, "It's nothing fancy, I might have to cook your dishes someday."

"Don't blame me, you don't know how I cook." Old Guo laughed.

I looked at Lao Guo and Master Du and said, "You two and I have different main directions. I mainly study cooking and cooking. Both of you are sous chefs. Not only do you cook, but you also have to be in charge of management. What you think More than me. I don’t have those things, I don’t have anything to do except cooking, so I’m at ease.”

Master Du said: "I admire Lao Tan for this. He doesn't think too much about anything, just cooking, or drinking."

I said: "You don't know this. The universe is big in the pot, and the sun and the moon are long in the cup. Sometimes drinking is also a kind of enjoyment."

"Old Tan started to write the whole sentence. Drinking is for you to enjoy. If you have enough, like me and Lao Du, you don't have enough. Drink more. You drink to enjoy, and we drink to suffer." Lao Guo said .

"The two of you drink less, just drink a few more times. There is no innate capacity for alcohol, it is all slowly exercised." I said.

"Fuck you, just fool people from there, do you know what everyone calls you now?" Old Guo said.

"What's it called?" I asked.

"The god of wine, the god of wine in the blue and white pavilion." Old Guo said.

I smiled and said, "Really? That's fine. It's fine to call him a Dionysus, as long as you don't call him a drunkard."
