Yu Li is quite ambitious. If Yan Jiecheng had not done so many things, he would not have stimulated Yu Li's ambition in advance. He would have caused trouble himself.
"Yu Li, you see the living conditions are better now. When we go out to eat, every restaurant is full as long as it tastes good. What do you think about opening a restaurant for you?"
"Okay, your cooking is so delicious. I will take care of the front office and you will take care of the kitchen. The two of us can work together as a couple, and we can make a fortune. With your skills, I think we can open a restaurant and the people who eat there will
Everyone has to queue up!" Yu Li said excitedly.
Yan Jiecheng: "."
"Yu Li, calm down. Do you think it's appropriate for your husband to be a cook who serves people?" Yan Jiecheng paused for a while and said.
"It's appropriate. Why isn't it appropriate? I think you really like cooking."
"I like to cook and I only like to feed my wife and children. I don't want to work around a stove all day long. Can't you say you want to recruit people as chefs from outside? You are too stingy. You don't even have to pay for chefs.
I want to save some money," Yan Jiecheng joked to Yu Li.
"Please, let's ask the chef to do it. I think Sha Zhu is good at cooking. How about we ask Sha Zhu to be the chef?" The only chefs Yu Li knows may be the food factory cook and Sha Zhu.
"As far as our relationship with Shazhu is concerned, inviting Shazhu is just waiting to be blackmailed. I've beaten Shazhu so many times! Anyone can be invited as a chef, so don't even think about asking Shazhu. If you meet Shazhu,
If a cook like Si Zhu likes to steal, how can you manage a restaurant? What Si Zhu always insists on is that if the cook doesn't steal, the food will not be abundant."
"Then I can't remember any cooks I know. You go find the cook."
"Okay, it's not easy to find a cook. Even if your skills are average and you have the basic skills to teach a few specialty dishes, you can open an ordinary restaurant. Find a house first. If you find a suitable house, buy it. After decorating it, you can open a restaurant.
.”
Yan Jiecheng finally decided that restaurants should be built first, and self-employed individuals could only build small-scale restaurants at first, with no more than seven employees. This was the period that we were talking about.
"You said that if you open a restaurant, do you still want my job in the food factory?"
"Let's take a long vacation first, and then consider leaving the food factory after the hotel is started."
Yu Li is obviously still reluctant to let go of her status as a formal employee. This is normal. There are at least hundreds of thousands of unemployed young people in the capital. All they want is to have a formal job. It is not easy to get into an ordinary unit, let alone one as popular as a food factory.
The unit.
Not to mention Yu Li, even Yan Jiecheng himself has not decided to quit his job in the steel rolling mill because he does not want to be thought of as a fool and cannot bear the pressure of public opinion.
After the two of them had discussed it, they worked together to find a store suitable for opening a restaurant after get off work.
I was in a hurry and had high requirements, so the price was naturally high when I bought a house. I bought a two-story building facing the street. The first floor was only over 200 square meters, and the two floors were only over 400 square meters. It cost Yan Jiecheng 8,000 yuan.
.
After getting the house deed, we started to decorate. The first floor was turned into a lobby and the second floor was a private room. However, due to lack of manpower, there was a high probability that not all of them would be used. For an ordinary hotel, clean and sanitary, the decoration requirements are not too high.
Recruitment started during the renovation, and it was not difficult to find cooks. Most of them had intermediate skills. In the end, Yan Jiecheng hired a senior chef who had retired from the state-owned canteen. His cooking skills should have reached an advanced level.
I earn a monthly salary of 300 yuan to be a chef. I am only responsible for cooking, and I have two assistants.
We also recruited two young girls from the countryside and two from the city to serve as waiters, receptionists in the front hall, serving dishes, and washing vegetables and dishes.
The number of people is small, so we can only do everything. In fact, it would be better to have some security guards. However, we can only recruit so many people, so we can only ensure the business is open first. After the business is opened, Yan Jiecheng will also keep an eye on it.
After opening, because the chef cooks well and the prices are relatively affordable, most vegetarian dishes only cost a few cents and meat dishes only a dollar or two, so the business can be said to be full.
Yan Jiecheng said that he didn't want to be a cook, but occasionally he was pushed into a hurry and had to do it on his own. It wasn't just because the food was good and there were so many talented people. The effect of reform and opening up was obvious. The more rich people there were, the more people ate in restaurants.
When it was time for dinner, there were few empty restaurants, so Yan Jiecheng set a higher standard for cooking, all for the sake of future competition.
After Yu Li opened the hotel, she devoted herself to the hotel business.
It took me half a month to transform from a good wife and mother to a strong woman. In this period, in the restaurant, when no one was busy eating at noon, it was after get off work in the afternoon, and the housework at home could still be busy.
But Yu Li's concern for her children was obviously not enough, so Yan Jiecheng could only focus on his family.
There are two patriotic and patriotic brothers who collect waste, there is Yu Haitang in the clothing store, Yu Li in the hotel, and Yan Jiecheng is responsible for taking charge of the direction.
Yu Li had a lot of things to do, and Yan Jiecheng was the only one left to go back to the courtyard to visit the old couple on weekends.
When I returned to the courtyard, I saw Yan Bugui, Yi Zhonghai, and Liu Haizhong playing chess together.
Yan Jiecheng has long since discovered that Yan Bugui's level can crush Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, and the two of them tied together are not enough for Yan Bugui.
Some people like to play chess when they meet their opponents and go back and forth, but Yan Bugui is different. He likes to crush the game and play cruelly. There is no better choice. The most important thing in playing chess is to have fun.
When Yan Bugui saw the melons and fruits in Yan Jiecheng's hand, he stood up and asked Yi Zhonghai to take over and fight with the second uncle. These two men were matched in chess and would meet good talents, so the battle became more intense.
"Jie Cheng, come back to see your parents again. You come back often enough!" Yi Zhonghai spoke in a strange manner. Yan Jiecheng could clearly see the jealousy in Yi Zhonghai's eyes. No wonder others didn't want to raise him.
Children, there will be children who grow up and come to visit with gifts.
"Young people should still put their careers first. You see, our eldest son is busy with work and is valued in the workplace, so he doesn't have that much time to go back to the courtyard."
If Yan Jiecheng didn't know the actual situation, he would have believed what the second uncle said. Liu Guangqi was either unfilial or because he was busy with work and did not come back to honor the second uncle.
"Okay, first uncle, second uncle, you two have a good time playing chess, we are going back to the house." Yan Jiecheng said.
Back in the house, the third aunt was sewing and mending. The work she was doing was much slower than before. It was only for the old couple, so doing it slowly was also a way to pass the time.
"Boss, what have you been busy with recently?" asked the third aunt.
"I'm not busy with anything. I just go to work in the steel rolling mill every day and go home after get off work. It's no different from before."
