The story of a cook

Chapter 489 is a love species
I am sorry for everyone being so busy on the fifth day of the lunar new year. It sold for 8000 yuan, the second highest single-day turnover.

After working on the fifth day, Master Ma took Yang Zhijun for another day, and left on the seventh day.Before I left, I called the masters together, set a table in Hongfu to see him off, and told him not to get angry after returning home, but to deal with things, and to call when he was done, and to continue working when he came back.

I said it sincerely, and he was also very moved. He told me that he had nothing to do with me, and he would definitely come back if possible.

Sent away a friend.

This is what a dry chef is like. He keeps meeting new friends and seeing off old friends. Some people can keep in touch, and some people have disappeared from the sea of ​​people.It's not about being indifferent, it's about the reality of life.

After the eighth day of the eighth day, it was not so busy, and the turnover returned to 3 yuan per day, and everyone took a breath.From the [-]th to the eighth day of the eighth day, an average of [-] per day is fine.The average amount of coarse grains is only [-] per day, completely crushing his family.

At this time, some employees began to ask for leave to go home, and asked the bosses of various departments to arrange for their employees to go home. The principle is not to delay the normal business.In this way, the employees returning home all think about the personnel issues of their own departments. In order not to discredit their own departments, they all go back one by one.

"Old Tan, don't you want to go back and have a look?" Master Du asked me.

I said: "Go back, I'll go back after everyone is done sleeping." Then I asked him: "Aren't you going back?"

"I'm not going back. In February, my wife brought the children to stay for a few days, and it happened to take them to play." He said.

"It's still because you are great and meritorious. My wife came to see you." I said.

He smiled and said, "It will take a week for me to go back and forth. It's not worth it. The two of them are idle at home. Why don't you let them come over?"

"Old Du, you really know how to live." I said.

"Why don't we live like this, I don't have much money, and I rely on myself to earn money. Is it okay if there is no money in this society? If you don't have money, you can't afford to raise children." He said.

What he said is right, it is true, I am also in the same situation, being an old man is tiring.

Men in their 30s are the most tiring. They have to take care of everything.If you have a formal job with someone else, you can keep your income in droughts and floods, so you don’t have to worry about it. If you don’t work, you don’t have any security. The so-called security is to go home and farm.There is no way out, I can only keep going forward, I dare not stop, once I stop, there will be no source of income, what will the family eat and drink?What do you use to buy a house or a car?

Let's do it, let's talk about it when we can't do it anymore.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the old man came to the store and called me to a private room. He told me that a family of three came from Tieling in two days. The man would be his driver, and the woman and children would work in the kitchen. I said yes.

"In two days, our three stores will hold a party together. The old store has been well organized, so we will organize it as last time. You are responsible." The old man said.

"It's better to ask Mr. Zhang or Mr. Zhou to take charge of this matter. I can assist." I said.

"You're right, I'll talk to them later." The old man said, and then said: "This month, the new store will start to be renovated, and the kitchen will start to prepare people. If there are any good chefs, introduce them to our house. Try it when you come." dishes, after trying it out, follow along in the kitchen, get familiar with our dishes, and go there when it opens."

I asked, "How long will it take for the new store to be renovated?"

"At least three months." He said.

"You don't need to prepare that early, just prepare people one month in advance, and you won't pay them if you prepare early." I said.

"It's mainly because it's hard to find people in summer."

"That doesn't have to be so early. It's not easy to find a younger brother, but it's easy to find a master. Just look for it a month in advance."

"Let me tell you that you have an idea in mind first. If you have a good chef, you will introduce it. If you have a good manager, you will also introduce it."

"Well, let me pay attention."

"The manager can come over first and work in our shop first." The old man said.

"Okay, let me take a look, the main ones I know are from the provincial capital." I said.

"The ones in the provincial capital are better, and those in other places can work with peace of mind, which is better than the local ones." The old man said.

I laughed, and said to myself that I read it, and now the managers of the three stores are all local, and you haven't dismissed any of them.

The old man said: "Didn't go home during the Chinese New Year, after two days there is nothing to do in the kitchen, you can go home and have a look."

I said, "Well, I'll go back and have a look in two days."

"Now the old shop is well organized, and you and Manager Chen are also cooperating tacitly. You two can do it well." The old man said.

"Thank you for the compliment from the leader."

"It's not a compliment, the two of you have done your job, it's obvious to all."

"It's all taught by your old man."

The old man smiled, "It's useless to clean it up, it's a fool." Then he asked: "How is Xiao Du now? Has he made any progress?"

I said: "There is progress, great progress, and I can succeed me as the head chef."

"It's not enough to be the head chef. I know what he is like, but he doesn't have the courage." The old man said.

"Basically, you just didn't give him a chance," I said.

"Opportunities are not given, they are won by oneself. I am quite accurate in terms of employing people. Some people can be the head chef, and some can only be the sous chef. It is not a matter of opportunity or not." He said.

I smiled and said nothing.

Chatted with the old man for a while, ended the conversation when it was almost time for dinner, and went back to the kitchen to cook.

After the new year, the hot food kitchen is relatively stable, and there are no major personnel changes. A few younger brothers who are playing lottery have proposed to go home and have a look. Then directly pay him.A chopping board at the seafood side proposed to resign, and Li Fushun was transferred to the chopping board position, so that the hot food staff was still just enough.

Thinking of the renovation of the new store, many people will be needed at that time. The master is easy to find, but the younger brother is not easy to find. Now I can prepare a few more younger brothers. When the new store opens, I will guarantee that people will be transferred from each store. In case of emergencies.

The cold dish room on the second floor has not changed, and Li Mingjuan, Meng Hongwei, and the younger brother are still the most stable.

The old couple who chopped the stuffing left alone, and the old lady went back, saying that she would not come back. Her grandson will go to elementary school this year, and she has to take care of him at home.It just so happened that the family of three that the old man mentioned came.The man drives the car for the old man, and the woman chops stuffing. Her family's child is only 16 years old, and she arranges to follow her in the hot vegetable kitchen.

I have to say that this woman is 38 years old, tall, very good-looking, and quite good at dressing up. She dresses up beautifully every day at work. She doesn't look like she works in a restaurant, but a bit like a lady in a karaoke bar.On the first day I arranged for her to chop stuffing in the chopping room, the big brother chop stuffing came to me and said that she is not a worker, can she work dressed like that?I said to do it first and see, if it is really not a workman, then there is no need.I didn't expect that this woman is really good at work, she looks like what she does, and she is clean and neat, so she convinced my brother to do it the first day.After all, he was young, he worked quickly, and when he stood at attention, my brother didn't say anything.

Working in the kitchen is like this. Good looks can only mean that you are beautiful, and in the end you have to rely on your work to speak, and your strength speaks for itself.

The day after the old man finished talking with me, Mr. Zhang came over and told Manager Chen that the three stores held a party together. Of course, Manager Chen and I expressed our support.Mr. Zhang said that it will be held on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, and the location will be in the old store. At that time, all employees from the three stores will come.

I asked, "Do you want to eat? There are 300 people in the three stores."

Mr. Zhang said: "Of course we have to eat, but there are not 300 people, [-] tables are enough."

I asked: "Our old shop prepares the food, how is the cost calculated?"

He said: "In the future, we will hold such parties regularly, and the three stores will come in turn, and whoever hosts them will pay the cost."

I said, "That's fine."

"The last time you held a staff gathering, I heard it was very good. This time, it will be held at your place first, and the hosts will be the two people last time." Mr. Zhang said.

"That's fine." Manager Chen said, "Report the programs of the coarse grains and bakery first, so that they can prepare in advance."

Mr. Zhang said: "I went back and told them to tell them to report the program in advance."

After Mr. Zhang left, Manager Chen said to me: "Seeing that there is no old Tan, this is because our family is doing well to make them look good."

I said, "This is what the old man meant, in order to enrich the spare time life of the employees."

"Why didn't it be rectified before? I have been here for two years, and this is the first time for rectification." Manager Chen said.

I said: "Does everything have a beginning? Let's start a new story, and they will follow up." After talking, I laughed and asked, "I heard that the foreman on the second floor is going to resign and go home to get married?"

"Yes, I told me that I'm 28 and it's time to get married," she said.

"Have you found someone to replace you?" I asked.

"Not yet. It's hard to find people. We have to touch them." She said.

"Let me introduce you to one." I said.

"That's okay, I'm worried, hurry up." She said happily.

"The people in the provincial capital are not bad, and they have been doing catering for a long time." I said.

"Call me, just right," she said.

Zhou Xiaomei is idle now, she said years ago that she would come to Binhai, now I have this opportunity, I can ask her to come here.After talking with Manager Chen, I called Zhou Xiaomei. She was quite happy and said that she would come over the next day.

I also told Master Du about asking him to host the party, and told him to prepare well so that he would not lose the chain at that time.He was very interested in being a host, and said that it was okay, he would be a good one.Tell him that the kitchen also prepares several programs, not many, five are enough.He smiled and said no problem, not to mention five, there are ten.He is quite confident, it should be said, but now he is indeed more confident than before.

When I came to the pastry room on the second floor, everyone was making dumplings. It was very quiet and no one spoke.Seeing that Fang Lin was not there, the little girl had gone back to her hometown, no wonder it was so quiet.

"The chef is here." Jiang Yajun greeted me.

I smiled and nodded.

Lao Yang saw me coming and said to me: "Chef, I will go home in two days, and three days will do."

I said, "Tell your boss." After speaking, I pointed to Jiang Yajun, and then said, "It's fine if she says yes, I have no right."

He said: "The boss agreed, and I will tell you too."

I said, "No, as long as your boss agrees."

While making dumplings, Zhang Chunmei asked, "Chef, aren't you going home?"

I said, "Back, in two days."

"What do we think of you when you go home?" she joked.

"Then you go back with the chef." Jiang Yajun smiled.

"I thought about it, I was afraid his wife would scratch me." Zhang Chunmei laughed.

"You don't need his daughter-in-law to tickle you, Shuli won't let you go." Aunt Du said.

Everyone laughed again, and Ma Shuli's face was flushed.

When I came out of the pastry room, I met Li Cheng who was cooking dumplings. He asked me, "Chef, why are you so happy about the pastry? Are you laughing so loudly?"

I said, "Who knows."

"At least Zhang Chunmei laughs the loudest," he said.

"She's just loud," I said.

"It's good to have a loud voice, I like it," he said.

I looked at him and found that he is also a good-looking talent, very energetic, but his head is a bit straight, such a person is really good for a daughter-in-law, can listen to her daughter-in-law, and is good to her daughter-in-law.

"If you like it, be nice to them and listen to what they say, especially to their children." I said

"Chef, I'm very nice to her, but she doesn't talk to me." He said with a naive look.

"Good things take time, don't rush this matter." I said.

"Hey, women are elusive and can drive men crazy," he said.

"You are quite emotional."

"Crazy for you, drunk for you, shed tears for you, I am most afraid that you will ignore me, but I still don't regret it—"

After Li Cheng finished speaking, he left. Looking at his back, he felt that this man who was almost 40 years old was a lover.
