The story of a cook

Chapter 482 Xiaonian sold eighty-six thousand

After Mr. Zhang finished speaking, Manager Chen was a little unhappy. She said: "Master Tan is a habit formed by Mr. Zhang's lectures, and it will not be easy to change for a while."

I said, "It's not easy to change. Change slowly, and you will get used to it slowly."

"I heard from the old man that Master Tan gave lectures to our family's management staff. He is a talent." Mr. Zhang said calmly, and he looked down on him from his expression.

I have seen this expression a lot, and I have developed immunity.

"It's not a talent, it's just a cook, Mr. Zhang praised it." I said, smiling when I said it.

At this time, Li Xingtang changed the topic and asked me: "It will be Xiaonian in two days. Our family can be busy in Xiaonian. How are you preparing?"

I said: "It's almost ready, the dumplings are ready, and today I will start preparing hot and cold dishes for the Spring Festival, and also prepare the ingredients for business during the Spring Festival."

"We can buy goods all morning in the morning of Binhai Thirty, and the market is closed from the afternoon to the fifth day of the lunar new year. We need to prepare more raw materials." Li Xingtang said.

"Yes, our old store is starting to prepare it now. It won't work if it is too late. Every restaurant will prepare it. Some meats will be out of stock by then." I said.

"Store the stock now, will it be fresh after a long time?" Mr. Zhang asked.

I said nothing and looked at Li Xingtang.

Li Xingtang said: "Now we prepare raw materials that can be preserved for a long time, as well as seasonings. Seafood and vegetables are prepared every [-] days."

"I'm not very familiar with the raw materials, but we must ensure the freshness, and we must not be fresh." Mr. Zhang said.

After he finished speaking, no one answered, and the private room fell silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Mr. Wang, the service director who did not speak, asked me: "Chef Tan used to be a soldier, right?"

I replied directly: "No."

Wang always wanted to ease the embarrassment, but I was a little angry and answered very simply, not wanting to ease it.

Mr. Zhou, the sales director, said with a smile: "Seeing Chef Tan hold a regular meeting, I thought you were a soldier."

I said, "No, I know some friends who are soldiers."

"Those who serve in the army act vigorously and resolutely." Mr. Wang said.

"It seems that Mr. Wang should have been a soldier." I asked.

"I was born in the army and have been demobilized for ten years," he said.

"I envy those who serve in the army, but unfortunately I have never been in the army. I like to be with the soldiers, and they talk and do things happily." I said.

At this time, Mr. Zhang said to Manager Chen: "We are here with you this morning to investigate."

Manager Chen said: "Good job, welcome."

Li Xingtang said to Mr. Zhang: "Mr. Zhang, the three of you are here this morning. I have something to do. I will go to the new store with the old man, so I won't accompany you."

"You are busy with your work, the three of us can stay here." Mr. Zhang said.

Since the three bosses are here to investigate, we can't say anything, tell them that the kitchen has to go back beforehand, and then return to the kitchen.

I don't have a good impression of Mr. Zhang. In the words of ordinary people, he is a bit too pretentious.He said that I was not angry when I walked back and forth in the regular meeting and I was not good at speaking. When he said that I shared with the management staff, the contemptuous expression was a little cold. In addition, he talked about the stocking for the Spring Festival under an unfamiliar situation. I guess Li Xingtang I was not happy when I heard it, and I was a bit of an outsider guiding an insider.

Of course, these are irrelevant. After arriving in the kitchen, I forgot about these things and began to enter the intense preparation work. It will be Xiaonian in two days, and Xiaonian must be busy.

Facts have proved that my work arrangement for Xiaonian is correct.

The old store sold 6000 yuan on Xiaonian this day, setting a historic record.

Since the fried dumplings were canceled on that day, and the focus was on boiled and steamed dumplings, the efficiency of dumpling processing and sales in the store was significantly improved, and there were no phenomena of being unable to get in and overtime.At the same time, all the takeaway dumplings are quick-frozen, which also reduces the pressure of cooking dumplings, reduces the waiting time for customers, and directly takes the dumplings home to cook.Later, many customers who waited in line saw that there were quick-frozen dumplings for sale. They all bought quick-frozen dumplings and cooked them at home instead of standing there waiting. This also accelerated the sales of dumplings in disguise. All sold short at 08:30pm.

Since all the staff in the kitchen go to work at [-]:[-] in the morning, the preparations are done well. Although they are busy, they are not chaotic at all.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Manager Chen came to me and said, "Lao Tan, it's almost time, don't sell it, the children are too tired to run."

I asked, "Are there still many guests coming in?"

"Not many, not many people left." She said.

"Then we won't receive them, and everyone is tired, so that's enough." I said.

The front desk will no longer accept guests, and the kitchen will be closed.

I came to the pastry room on the second floor.

"Everyone has worked hard!" I shouted loudly.

"Don't work hard, serve the people!" Hemian Lao Yang replied.

He is the only old man who still has energy, and those female generals are so tired that they don't even like to talk.

"Everyone tidy up, we're here today, we won't be entertaining you," I said.

Hearing that I said no reception, everyone came to their spirits, with bright smiles on their faces.

"Long live!" Fang Lin shouted holding up the rolling pin.

"I'm exhausted, I'm going to sleep—" Li Yan lay down directly on the desk.

"Chef, your words are like the sounds of nature," Zhang Chunmei said.

I smiled at everyone.

"The chef said he won't be entertaining. Hurry up to close the market and get off work. I'm really tired today." Jiang Yajun said.

Everyone began to close the market for sanitation.

After coming out of the pastry room, they arrived at the cold dish room. Li Mingjuan and Meng Hongwei were doing the cleaning at the end of the market. They seemed not in the mood to talk to me, and they were exhausted.I didn't bother them, and then came to the front desk. There were still many customers eating at the front desk, and they were almost finished, and they could all leave in half an hour.

"What's the work meal today? The kids are exhausted, so cook something delicious." Manager Chen asked.

"You guarantee they can eat work meals?" I asked.

Manager Chen smiled and said, "Look at these kids, they started eating out again with their bonuses, and they don't know how to save money."

"Now there are some children who save money, and every family does not lack the money they earn." I said.

"Children don't eat older ones, have you made work meals?" she asked.

"Yes, chicken stew with potatoes." I said.

"I'm hungry, I have to eat." She said, and then asked me: "Old Tan, can we have a drink?"

I said: "If I don't drink with you, you will drink too much."

She smiled and asked, "Why did you put me on the bed that day? Am I fat?"

"I haven't researched in-depth whether to be fat or not, but it's a lot of work." I joked.

She looked at me with that look and said, "I didn't expect you, Old Tan, to be joking."

"Are you always serious every day? I won't drink with you today, let's go tomorrow. I'll have dinner and drink tomorrow, and I'll send you off by the way. What if something happens?"

After speaking, he walked to the kitchen, leaving her messy there.

It is possible to sell 5 yuan a day in the saturated state of the old store, but it will be a bit difficult if it exceeds 8.It sold more than [-] yuan, which is quite a normal two-day turnover, that is, two-day workload, and everyone is tired.

Fortunately, everyone got a lot of bonuses when they got off work. Looking at the bonuses in their hands, they are not tired anymore, and they are full of joy.

The power of money is infinite. It can fully tap people's potential and make many impossible things possible.Shang Yang used the law of money when reforming, otherwise he would not have succeeded.

Money not only has power, but also temptation. Many things are realistic in front of it, including love.

Money is not everything, but nothing is impossible without money.

People are also not for reality, but for life.

Life is reality.

Money is important to everyone who works outside the home. Everyone works hard to earn money, and then uses the money earned to support their families.If you want to change your life, money is indispensable.

Take me and Lin Yan as an example, we have nothing to rely on, no family background, we have to earn everything by ourselves, it should be said that we started from scratch.Without money, we cannot live, our children cannot go to kindergarten, and the elderly have no money to support them. At that time, home will not be home anymore.

There are not a few working families like Lin Yan and me. They are all working hard for their lives, running around——
For the better days ahead.

The next day is the day of the staff dinner.

Busy until eight o'clock in the evening, there were almost no guests, and the kitchen began to prepare meals for the dinner.

The old aunt asked the butcher for two pig heads and ten catties of meat, and the seafood seller brought two boxes of saury, ten catties of flower clams, ten catties of cockles, and a lot of green vegetables, four kinds: fresh mushrooms, leeks, garlic moss Eggplant and eggplant are all ordinary vegetables, but everyone eats them without picking them, mainly for fun.

There are 130 people in the front desk and the back kitchen, and the logistics staff are counted at nearly [-], and there are [-] tables.The dishes are guaranteed to be enough, there are twelve dishes per table, the larger the dishes, and two plates of dumplings.A table, a bottle of liquor, a case of beer, and two large barrels of drinks are enough.It is good for the front desk to join in. The drinks are all ordered by Manager Chen from the supplier. It doesn't cost money and saves a lot.

The foreman on the second floor at the front desk is the host, and Master Du is selected for the kitchen. The two have been rehearsing together for several days, and they seem to be very active and enthusiastic about this dinner.

The entire dinner process was designed by me in advance, and I gave it to them in written form. This is the first time for them to host, and it is fine if they can finish hosting according to the process.

Hosting a staff dinner is not a big deal for educated people, but it is a bit difficult for those who come from the countryside and have not even graduated from junior high school.Seeing that when they are free, they gather together to talk about women and talk endlessly, but when they stand in front of hundreds of people, they have no words.

Whether it is Master Du or the foreman on the second floor, they all have to practice in this area.

The two of them are not like Li Shuang. Li Shuang grew up in the city after all. He has studied a lot, has an outgoing personality, dares to speak and act, and also likes to show himself, so a little exercise will be very powerful.

If they want to be like Li Shuang, they still need to exercise.

Knowledge is learned, ability is developed, and only good iron can be made into steel.

I don't know if he can understand Master Du's training.

As the Buddha said, everything is the nature of everything, so why ask for anything else.

Manager Chen brought the stereo at home and asked an electrician to install it in the afternoon.

When I came to the front desk, I saw the old aunt chatting with Manager Chen and walked over.

When the old aunt saw me coming, she gave me a warm fist and said, "Okay, Old Tan, you can fix it."

I smiled and said, "It's not bad, thank you for your compliment."

"Now we have three stores, but your old store is the best." The old aunt said.

"This is inseparable from the great help of the old aunt. Thanks to the support of the old aunt, otherwise Manager Chen and I would not be able to fix it." I said.

"I didn't see it, Lao Tan is quite good at talking." The old aunt said to Manager Chen with a smile.

Manager Chen looked at me and said with a smile on his face: "What else did Lao Tan say, otherwise how could he give us a lecture?"

The old aunt said: "By the way, everyone said that Lao Tan spoke well, and I never took the time to listen to it. Tell me next time, and I will listen to it."

"Auntie, I guess you can't listen anymore. Now that there is a general manager, let's listen to others." Manager Chen said.

"You're talking about the one whose surname is Zhang, right? That person doesn't look good at first glance, and he does everything for face-saving work, so the old man likes it." The old aunt said.

I said, "Auntie, let's stop chattering, are all your people here?"

"Here we are, we all went upstairs and said we went to watch Lao Du's rehearsal." The old aunt said.

I said, "Then let's go upstairs, the food is almost ready."
