After Cheng Guanli arrived at the restaurant, he first arranged for Wang Yuliang to sit in a private room, saying that he was going to meet someone and would be back in a few minutes.
Then he took a plate of complimentary cold dishes and went to the private room where the cook Lao Yu was.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lao Yu's son sitting next to him, with a round face.
The old woman on the side was really picking up vegetables for her daughter-in-law, "Xiao Pan, this fish is delicious, please eat more."
Seeing this scene, Cheng Guanli almost wanted to pass a cigarette to Lao Yu's son.
"Master Yu, our restaurant knows that you are here, so we specially present a cold beef tongue dish for you to try."
Old Yu was stunned and asked hurriedly: "You, how do you know my surname is Yu?"
Cheng Guanli put the cold dishes on the table and slowly sat down opposite Lao Yu.
He smiled and said: "Not only do I know your surname is Yu, but I also know that you are the chef behind Cheng Dehai, and this meal was invited by Cheng Jianwen!"
"ah?!"
Lao Yu stood up immediately.
"you!"
"Don't get excited, sit down."
Cheng Guanli smiled and waved his hand, with a harmless expression.
Lao Yu's heart was pounding, and he felt like he had been caught stealing something.
Cheng Guanli said: "Master Yu, you should know that I am Cheng Guanli, right? In fact, I am here to chat with you. There is no harm. You are a guest when you come to our restaurant. It is not too late for us to be happy. Don't worry, I am really not quarreling with you.
of."
Only then did Lao Yu relax and said awkwardly: "Uh... well, hehe, I actually wanted to come to dinner for a long time, but I didn't come because of my status. It doesn't mean anything. It's not what you think."
"Haha, Master Yu, shouldn't you be curious, how do I know so clearly?"
"Well……"
"In this case, if you come to my office, I really want to chat with you, or even take you to visit the kitchen!"
"real?"
Cheng Guanli stood up and left, "As long as we have a good time chatting, you can learn the dishes from the kitchen as you please. I am not stingy at all. Unlike Jianwen and Jianwu, every penny has to be recorded in the account."
Cheng Guanli is good at drawing big cakes, especially for people like Lao Yu, so he needs a bait to catch him.
Lao Yu followed Cheng Guanli to the office, and the first thing he said when he opened his mouth was: "How do you know so clearly?"
Cheng Guanli smiled slightly, "I know his family better than you! The second day you went to work, the employees in Shuxiangxuan knew that you worked in Cheng Dehai's restaurant. Regarding the last time he tried to learn from me,
Cai, you must have heard about Chef Zhao who lost his temper, right?"
Lao Yu nodded and said nothing.
Cheng Guanli continued: "Neither Cheng Dehai nor Cheng Jianwen will give up. Sooner or later, you will have to come and learn from me. There are more than ten dishes on the table, and your family is not experiencing a happy event such as a new kid or a new house.
It’s not a banquet for expensive guests. Who would come to such a luxurious dinner for no reason? Of course it was Cheng Jianwen’s treat.”
"I admire you, you are so thoughtful."
"I don't worry about thinking carefully, and I also see far. Master Yu, don't be unhappy if I say something unpleasant. This kind of stealing can be divided into stealing for yourself and stealing for others. If you steal for yourself, even if you are caught, you can't do it."
It’s not a loss, but if you steal it for someone else and get caught, you’ll be taken advantage of.”
"Uh...I..." Old Yu was a little embarrassed. He wanted to speak but was stuck in his throat.
Cheng Guanli continued: "In the final analysis, this stealing is because you don't have anything. If you do, who would be willing to bear a reputation for stealing? After all, this era is not before liberation. In the past, sneaky things were very common, and they were all about eating.
He has no choice but to live without warmth. Now that life is getting better, it would be too embarrassing if word spreads about so-and-so stealing things. His life will definitely be hit by obstacles everywhere, and he can't even find a job."
"Hey! Who says it's not! But sometimes...it's addictive!"
Lao Yu has the best say in this kind of encounter. Before Cheng Dehai came to him, he had already received the notice that he was going to be expelled.
He also wanted to get rid of the problem of long hands, but it had become an addiction. When he saw no one else around the thing, he would think about how to pick it up.
Cheng Guanli said: "Now you come to my place to learn a craft secretly. It was stolen for Cheng Dehai's family. You have to bear the crime for him after just one meal. Don't you feel it's a loss?"
"this……"
"Even if you have learned this skill, can't you open a shop by yourself and make money? Do you have to make money for Cheng Dehai and be his ox? Lao Yu, if you have this skill and don't do it alone, you are stupid!"
"I……"
"Do you know why you can't stop stealing?"
"Why, why?"
"I told you from the beginning, because you don't have one! If you have your own restaurant and your own chef, why would you steal? Everything in there is your own."
"Ah? This..."
"You have lived for most of your life, and the dirt is almost up to your neck. Don't you want to change your image? Get rid of the bad reputation of stealing things? Others are in trouble, so you can't repent in your old age? You can't let the people around you
Do people look at each other?"
"Hiss~this..."
"Okay, that's all I have to say. You can go back and think about it carefully. When you have figured it out, come to me when you can."
Lao Yu frowned and thought for a while, feeling really shaken in his heart.
"Of course I want to do it myself. Everyone wants to earn more, but I don't have the capital!"
"Those are all excuses. If you really think about it, you can come to me." Cheng Guanli said and was about to see off the guests.
Lao Yu hurriedly said: "I, I, I have figured it out now, didn't you say you would take me to visit the kitchen?"
Cheng Guanli smiled slightly, "I'm going to show you how pickled fish is made in the kitchen now. I'm asking you to steal the craftsmanship for Chengdehai, not for yourself. If you decide to steal the craftsmanship for yourself, come and see me again!"
"
"I have decided now that I will work alone and will not serve Jianwen or Jianwu anymore!"
"It makes no sense to say it now. When you give up your choice and Jianwen Jianwu's restaurant can't open, then you are really ready to go it alone. At that time, I can consider lending you some, or even invest in opening a branch, and leave all the power to you.
Take care of it.”
Lao Yu was confused when he heard this, and asked hurriedly: "How do you give full authority to manage a branch?"
"For example, Cheng Jianwen's restaurant cannot continue to operate and needs to be transferred. I will pay for someone to take it over and leave it to you to take care of. You only need to pay me how much you pay every month. If you pay me every month
500, even if you earn 2,000, the remaining 1,500 is all yours. If you don't earn 500, it means that you are not the person who eats this bowl of rice. You are destined to work for others in this life and can only do petty theft quietly.
.”
"Well... Cheng Dehai's restaurant now earns about 500 per month. According to what you said, I will give you 500 per month. There is still no change for me. I am still doing the same work? I just have a different boss."
"Haha, Master Yu, you have become smarter now. Don't worry, if you really open a branch, it will definitely be different from a restaurant. Otherwise, you will be too busy in the kitchen by yourself. When the time comes, I will open a restaurant that does not require a cook.
, and the business is very booming, you don’t have to suffer from tired arms and legs every day, you can just wait to collect the money the day before yesterday. If you can’t earn more than 300 per month, I will give that store to you!”
"Really? Is there such a hotel?"
"Of course it's true, we can sign the contract now."
Snapped!
Cheng Guanli directly handed out two blank contracts.
"Let's discuss it. If you really want to go it alone, sign a cooperation agreement with me. But when you give up Jianwen Jianwu, you must say it in front of everyone that you are not willing to steal for him or compete viciously for him.
, to do those immoral things, you have to throw money in his face, I’m paying for today’s meal!” This chapter has been completed!
