The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 181 The Woman Who Opens the Pattern

It was already midnight when Zhang Li left Ren Qingyun's house. Ren Qingyun wanted to send her off, but she refused.

This is a night of family reunion, full of peace.

Beautiful fireworks bloom in the night sky, and the deafening sound of firecrackers resounds throughout the city.

Thousands of lights, warm the world.

Tonight is two years at midnight, and the fifth watch of the Ming Dynasty is divided into two years.

Zhang Li was alone on the street, wrapped her down jacket tightly, and walked slowly.

Such a mood on such a night is easy to remind people of the past.

But the past is over after all, no matter how much you think about it, it's useless, time can't be turned back, and you can't go back to the past.

Just think, go over the movie about people and things from the past.The hate of love, but the hate has become faded, and even passed by when I think of it, there are some things that I can't bear to look back on, and some things I don't want to mention.

In any case, people who are over forty are not confused, many things have been put aside, the reason for the excitement is because after all, it is the pain of the past.

Walking in the peaceful and sad New Year's Eve, when the cold wind blows, Zhang Li feels much better and her heart is much calmer.

A horn sounded from behind, and then Ren Qingyun's red car stopped beside him.

"Get in the car, I'll see you off." Ren Qingyun rolled down the window and said to Zhang Li.

"No, I want to go." Zhang Li said.

"Come on, it's cold outside."

"I really want to go."

Zhang Li ignored Ren Qingyun and walked forward.

Ren Qingyun sat in the car, neither good nor bad, looking at Zhang Li who was walking in front of him thoughtfully.

He had heard about the military representative his brother said, and it was widely circulated in the aircraft factory back then, and many people knew about it.

He didn't expect that the heroine turned out to be the girlfriend he was dating, and he felt uncomfortable after being confirmed, as if he had picked up a worn-out shoe.

He knew that Zhang Li had an unhappy marriage for two years, but what he didn't know was——
To be honest, he couldn't bear it a bit, but he couldn't bear it.

This is a kind of hypocritical expression in the dark, caring about the past of the loved one, feeling sorry for it, and reluctant to part with the current beauty and excellence of the loved one, wanting to have it.

This is the same as falling in love with a good prostitute, caring about her past, not wanting to get married, but wanting to be with her, to get and possess.To put it bluntly, it is the real version of Du Shiniang, except that Zhang Li is not a prostitute.

A person's merits are often overlooked, and those things that are called disgraceful by the world are easy to remember, and they are often brought out when judging and labeled as bad. This is almost a common problem.

Like many celebrities who have become popular, there are dedicated people who act as social critics to dig out the old stories of others.

People are also strange, love to watch these, and talk about it.

It's not good to do something when you have time, it's purely idle, and you have already become a "technical expert" and "production model" with this kind of energy.

When Zhang Li got home, she felt a little hungry, so she cooked a plate of dumplings and drank while eating.

Someone knocked on the door, Zhang Li thought it was Ren Qingyun with the back of her head.

Opening the door, Ren Qingyun stood outside the door.

"What are you doing here if you don't go home for the New Year's Eve?" Zhang Li asked.

Ren Qingyun said: "I don't trust you."

"I have nothing to worry about, my lord. Alright, look at it, let's go back." Zhang Li said.

Ren Qingyun smiled and said, "I'll go in and sit for a while and leave."

Zhang Li let Ren Qingyun into the house.

Seeing the dumplings and wine on the dinner table, Ren Qingyun asked: "Did you eat well at my house?"

"Can I eat it?" Zhang Li didn't hide her point of view, and said directly: "If you want to see me off, you should go downstairs with me when I come out of your house. Listen to what your brother said. That woman is me, I guess your brother told you too. It's just right, I didn't mean to hide it from you, did you come here just to ask about it? "

Ren Qingyun's face was very ugly, he was silent for a while, and said, "Drink some wine with you."

"No, I can drink it myself." Zhang Li refused.

"Look at you - we have been together for several months, you know what I am like." Ren Qingyun said.

"I really don't know." Zhang Li said: "If you don't care, you won't let me go downstairs alone. You are a sensible person. There are some things you don't want to say. For those who celebrate the New Year, go back, and I will have a good New Year too. .”

"I'm here to accompany you today." Ren Qingyun said.

"No, no need." Zhang Li said coldly.

"It's okay to make friends if we don't stay together."

"I have enough friends."

"you--"

"I don't lack friends, and I don't lack men."

"We're both alone—"

Zhang Li immediately interrupted Ren Qingyun and said, "I respect you a lot, and I hope you will respect yourself."

Ren Qingyun left with some kind of regret.

Zhang Li ate dumplings and drank wine alone, celebrating the New Year.

"You, yes, come to my house, my house is just me and Lao Deng." After Zhang Li finished talking about last night, Yanhua complained.

"Whoever celebrates the New Year doesn't spend the New Year at his own home," Zhang Li said.

"Hey——" Yanhua sighed slightly, and said, "This kind of person is going to go elsewhere. To put it bluntly, he just wants to sleep with you and has no plans to live."

"Want to sleep with me? Who else do I want to sleep with." Zhang Li snorted, "I won't look for you in this life, live alone."

"By the way, do you still remember what Lao Tan's mother said? Don't believe me, go and give it away too." Yanhua suddenly remembered that Lao Tan's mother said that Zhang Li was a boy from the temple.

"Do you really believe it?" Zhang Li asked, but she believed it in her heart.

"You can't believe it, sincerity is effective. No one said that it was done, some people said that there was something wrong in their hearts, and they always made up their minds. Besides, it doesn't take much trouble, just try it, it's all about clearing up your doubts." Yanhua said.

"I don't know how to send it?"

"We don't know if anyone knows. After the fifteenth day, the Buddhist shop will open and ask. They will know for sure." Yanhua said.

Zhang Li said in a low voice: "You go when the time comes, I won't go, for fear of being known."

Yanhua smiled and said, "I'll go."

After talking about this matter, Yanhua talked about the cooperative store that Lao Tan called in the morning. After hearing this, Zhang Li raised the same problem-the lack of management personnel.

Yanhua believes that the dumpling market in the provincial capital is saturated, and the competition is fierce, and the profit margins are getting smaller and smaller.Last year, Xijiade officially entered the provincial capital and occupied the dumpling fast food segment.Ah Qiao is just starting out, so she doesn't have the strength to compete with others.

"The advantage of our family is dumpling wine. To be precise, it is a tavern that can eat dumplings. Although it is partial to fast food, we don't compete with them. My idea is to only open ten directly-operated stores in the provincial capital, and put the main force on In the west, that is, Inner Mongolia. There are no dumpling restaurants expanding to the west. Let's occupy the market first.

As for management personnel, we first train them internally. Those trained by ourselves are loyal and not easy to change jobs.In addition, external recruitment is also used, and good airborne troops are also used. "

Yanhua said in a very general manner.

"The dumpling market in the provincial capital is indeed saturated, and our family's competitive advantage is getting smaller and smaller--I agree with your idea of ​​developing to other cities. First Hohhot, then Baotou, and then expand to the south." Zhang Li said.

"The provincial capital is the base camp. Although we concentrate our efforts in other cities, we must first take care of our homes. Let me tell you what I think. In two years, the provincial capital will build ten directly-operated stores, and then we will stop and concentrate our efforts on these ten stores. The store is built as a model store.

The provincial capital is the political, economic and cultural center of Aqiao Dumpling House. Not only does it need to build a model store, but it also needs to establish a training center and technology research and development center. All future management personnel will be trained and practiced here, and then sent to other places, including technical personnel.

Those who want to cooperate first visit the model store in the provincial capital. After the inspection, the agreement is signed. After the agreement is signed, the partner is only responsible for one thing-payment.All the rest is our responsibility. "

"The old store doesn't have enough space." Zhang Li said.

"The old store is only used for central kitchen and technical training. We moved the office out and rented a separate building. It looks like a company, and the price is not cheap for those who come to visit." Yanhua said.

"Face problem." Zhang Li said with a smile.

"There are factors in this regard, but not all. The old store mainly trains kitchen staff, and the new office building has a training center, which mainly trains management to prevent successors from being weak." Yanhua said.

"You are becoming more and more like a boss now." Zhang Li said.

"It's not like it used to be?" Yanhua joked, "It was the same before, but it was blocked by Lao Tan, so you didn't notice."

"You and Lao Tan are a perfect match." Zhang Li said sincerely.

Once the pattern of women is opened, they are more masculine than men in doing things, which is not acceptable.

Yanhua is like this now.
