Going back to the old days of hunting at sea

Chapter 768: You want to start a business without even mastering the core technology?

An Wenjing is a person who loves to join in the fun.

He waved his hand and smiled, "Go ahead, I'll clean up and come over to take a look."

Chen Hui pinched her little face, then strode out to Uncle Lin's house.

Just after dinner, Uncle Lin’s house was also very lively, with the whole family gathered together and talking loudly.

Seeing Chen Hui coming in, Uncle Lin quickly stood up and brought him a stool.

Wang Ahua went into the kitchen, made a cup of tea and brought it out.

He took out a small plate of small potatoes stewed with fine salt and placed it in front of Chen Hui.

"This is what Auntie Ahua specially saved for you. You used to love eating it and would eat several every time you came."

"We were just chatting, and you said you haven't come to our house for dinner for a long time."

Uncle Lin pointed at the little potatoes and said with a smile.

Is that because I like to eat? That means there is nothing else for me to eat.

Uncle Lin's family doesn't cook meat often, and when they do, I feel embarrassed to snatch it from their grandson.

Only this little potato has some flavor.

Chen Hui was thinking in a mess.

He took a salted potato and handed it to Uncle Lin's eldest grandson who was looking at him eagerly.

He looked around the house and asked, "Are Brother Lin Shan and Brother Lin Hai not here?"

"Today is a high tide, so they and their wives went to the beach to catch fish."

"Whatever we can get helps improve the food for the kids." Wang Ahua smiled.

Although there are many people working at home, there are also many people eating.

When the weather is bad, eating meat depends entirely on the luck of catching seafood.

Uncle Lin stopped chatting with Chen Hui.

He moved the stool closer, stepped forward and asked, "Chen Hui, can you tell us about the guests you invited to the wedding banquet? Give us some details."

"Well, their family situation is quite similar to yours."

"My mother is at home taking care of her grandson, while my father takes his two sons and daughter-in-law out to work."

"I only found out about banquet catering after someone introduced it to me."

"The fee is fifty dollars for all the work."

"If the owner does the grocery shopping, dishes and cleans up, he'll only charge thirty."

Chen Hui recalled and said.

He emphasized again, "As for how they started, I didn't ask for the details. They are from Yuankou Village. You can go and ask them."

"They definitely won't tell us. If we learn it, we'll be stealing their business." Uncle Lin felt that this was not a good idea.

"We just said we were going to host a banquet, and then we could chat with someone and ask them questions."

"I can do this! There is nothing in the village that I can't get out of you."

Wang Ahua patted him hard and said confidently.

"I believe this. Aunt Ahua is really capable." Chen Hui said with a smile.

Wang Ahua looks rough and his emotional intelligence is not very high when he speaks.

But there is a special affinity.

Every woman in the village can tell her their true feelings.

"Okay! We'll go find them then."

"Just say that you saw how well he organized the banquet and you will have a banquet of your own soon."

Wang Ahua was recognized and became more confident.

"Be careful when the time comes, and don't say that Chen Hui introduced us there."

"Just say we found out about it ourselves."

"After all, you'll be stealing other people's business in the future, so don't cause trouble for Chen Hui." Uncle Lin reminded.

"If you can find out, then try. If you can't find out anything, it's not a big deal."

"You learn as you do business, and you will eventually find a way out."

"Now there is the most important question: Who among you is in charge of cooking? Who cooks well? How much do you know about the dishes used in banquets held in surrounding villages and towns?"

Chen Hui looked at Lin Jiabo and Wang Ahua.

Uncle Lin and Wang Ahua looked at each other.

"Don't look at me! I don't know how to do this." "I usually go to weddings and leave after the meal, and I don't even know how to cook."

Uncle Lin shook his head, feeling troubled.

"I can only cook for home. I can't cook for banquets."

"And according to my assignment, I am supposed to stay at home and take care of my grandchildren."

Wang Ahua also shook her head.

They both looked at Chen Hui.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm inviting people to host the banquet, not me hosting the banquet."

“I don’t need to know this!”

Chen Hui was a little speechless, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing.

This big family, without even mastering the core technology, started thinking about starting a business.

“Chen Hui, isn’t your house full of guests?”

"Every time the clerk talks about the dishes you cook, his mouth waters."

"Can you teach us something?" Wang Ahua asked.

"Hosting a banquet is very different from having a meal at home."

"I'm just like you. I can cook for a few people and eat by myself."

Chen Hui pondered for a moment.

I remembered the last time I competed with Chef Li at the state-owned restaurant in grilling pomfret.

Heard him talking about it with another chef.

He said that he would be very busy in the second half of the year and was planning to hire two apprentices in the restaurant to do some odd jobs.

"Uncle Lin, can our family arrange for someone to go out and learn a skill?"

"You, or Brother Linshan and Brother Linhai, choose a laborer."

"Cooking for a banquet is a physical job, and my two sisters-in-law probably don't have enough strength."

"There is no salary for learning skills, and you may even have to pay some money."

"If you can accept it, I will go and ask for you." Chen Hui asked.

There is already a lot of work to do at home.

Now we have to remove a young and middle-aged labor force, and we can also ask for money.

Uncle Lin and Wang Ahua hesitated visibly.

This kind of thing can only be figured out by yourself; it's no use trying to force it.

Chen Hui didn't urge him either.

Each of Uncle Lin’s three grandsons was given a salted potato.

I also took a potato, peeled it slowly, and ate it leisurely.

"Chen Hui, how long will it take to learn the art? How much will it cost? Where will I learn it?"

Uncle Lin hesitated for three or four minutes before he asked.

"It's not certain about paying. This is just my own guess. Maybe they won't pay."

"I don't know how long it takes to learn, but there are definitely requirements. For example, if you want to learn woodworking from Master Jiang, you have to spend three years."

"I can't even guarantee whether I can go."

Chen Hui looked at Uncle Lin's face full of black question marks.

I feel that it is not very reliable to ask such a question when you know nothing about it.

Some of them smiled guiltily and continued, "I know where to study. Go to the state-owned restaurant in the county town."

"That family held a wedding banquet, right? You've been there before." Wang Ahua looked at Uncle Lin.

Chen Hui took over and said, "There are still a lot of things to do! All the better families in the county are doing it there, and they are very busy in the second half of the year."

"Then if you learn not to do this banquet business, can you continue to work in the hotel?"

Wang Ahua thought of this possibility and looked at Chen Hui with anticipation.

Chen Hui shook his head.

Today's main point is that I know a little bit, and nothing else.

Uncle Lin fell silent again, and Chen Hui picked up the cup and drank tea.

After drinking half a cup, Uncle Lin said solemnly:
"Chen Hui, go ask them for us. If they are willing to accept someone, we will arrange for someone to go!"
