There is a branch of 99 Braised Chicken in Shigu Lane, City C.
Chen Xiaofeng has been here to work for two days. He followed the instructions of his cousin Sun Quan and did not tell anyone his identity after coming to work.
In fact, he has no status, but because he is Sun Quan's cousin, he becomes a person with status in this 99 Braised Chicken branch.
Before reporting here, his parents also told him many times that after coming here, try not to tell anyone that he is the boss's cousin.
As a young man, he always had an urge in his heart to reveal his identity and then see the reactions of his colleagues in the store, especially the reaction of the waiter with the oval face.
On the first day he came here, the first time he saw the oval-faced waiter, he fell in love with her.
But after all, he has grown up and has some sense.
So he endured it and never mentioned to anyone that he was the boss's cousin.
He still remembers that he came here to learn a craft. Only when he learns the craft well will he be more likely to succeed in opening his own shop when he returns home.
He didn't want the store his parents would invest in in the future to lose all their money.
This is his reason.
His reason also told him that if he was exposed as the boss's cousin early, his treatment in the store might be different, and a lot of his time and energy might be diverted from interpersonal communication. This was contrary to what he thought.
It defeats the purpose of learning a craft as quickly as possible.
Moreover, although he was attracted by the oval-faced waiter, he did not hope that if he could get together with her, it would be because he was the boss's cousin...
As a young man, a young man, he has self-esteem, and his self-esteem does not allow his love to be adulterated.
But... it’s really tiring to hide my identity and work here!
The work is not heavy, there is nothing heavy, but there are too many things to do all day long, mainly because the business in this store is so good! Customers are coming and going, and there are constant customers, so the kitchen where he is is busy.
No, the day had already been busy into the evening, and the number of customers in the store increased instead of decreasing. The chef called him again, "Xiao Chen! Go! Chop those ribs that have been thawed in the sink! Hurry! Hurry up! We are out of stock.
too much!"
"Hey! Okay, Master Geng!"
Chen Xiaofeng hurriedly agreed, cut three times, five divided by two, cut the last two potatoes on hand, cleaned them up briefly, turned over the thick chopping board, and then went to the sink to move the ribs that had not completely thawed.
Just so busy!
The master chef would glance at him from time to time. As long as he saw that the job at hand was almost finished, he would arrange the next job for him.
As for the reason for turning the cutting board over?
That is normal operation. When cutting vegetables, the surface of the chopping board must be flat. Otherwise, the roots will easily break when cutting vegetables. However, when chopping ribs, the surface of the chopping board may become uneven. Especially after years of operation, the chopping board is most likely to be damaged.
surface.
So when chopping vegetables, use the flat side of the chopping board, and when chopping bones, use the other side of the chopping board.
While Chen Xiaofeng was chopping on the chopping board, the aunt who was washing vegetables not far away suddenly said: "Master Geng, do you think our store manager can come back today?"
Master Geng, who was cooking next to the stove, didn't even turn his head and replied casually: "Today... I guess I won't be able to come back. I heard that store manager Lin attended the promotion meeting of the head office today, and there are still people at the head office.
A banquet was held for these promoted store managers, and Store Manager Lin must have been drinking a lot, and he might even be drunk, so...he probably won't be able to come back today!"
Chen Xiaofeng heard this conversation and glanced at Master Geng subconsciously. He knew that Store Manager Lin had assigned him the job when he reported here yesterday, and he was the store manager of this branch.
But he didn't see Store Manager Lin all day today, and he was already wondering!
At this time, after hearing Master Geng's words, he understood a little better - it seems that store manager Lin has gone to the head office and been promoted...
However, what is the position of a big store manager? Does it mean the general store manager of all branches?
Because he was not familiar with Master Geng and the vegetable washing aunt, Chen Xiaofeng suppressed his curiosity and didn't ask any more questions.
Ask less and look more, talk less and do more. This was the secret of learning the craft taught by his first chef when he first learned to cook.
In the past, he was young and energetic and didn't take this secret seriously. Later, he always suffered from lip service, and gradually learned to implement this secret in his work.
"Haha, I guess so too! Manager Lin went to the head office this time for a promotion. As the old saying goes, people are in high spirits during happy events. If he is in high spirits, he will certainly not refuse anyone who comes to toast him. Haha, why don't you be arrogant?
Master, please call him later and ask if he is drunk today?"
The aunt who was washing vegetables seemed to be very familiar with Master Geng. She was chatting while washing vegetables and her tone was very casual.
Master Geng also seemed to like chatting like this. He answered the conversation while cooking: "Go! I won't make any calls! Long-distance calls are very expensive. I want to know if he was drunk today. When he comes back tomorrow, why don't I ask him face to face?"
Got it? Right? Hehe."
The vegetable-washing lady turned around and glanced at Master Geng in a funny way, "You! You're too stingy. With a salary of three to four thousand a month, you still can't bear to pay a little phone bill?"
Master Geng laughed, but still did not look back, and said casually: "What you said, I have three or four thousand a month, that is all hard-earned money! Can hard-earned money be wasted casually? To use the old saying, that is called not living a good life! That's right.
wrong?"
The dishwashing aunt smiled and shook her head and sighed.
When Chen Xiaofeng, who had not interrupted until now, heard this, he had already heard a lot of information.
For example, Master Geng’s current salary is three to four thousand a month...
For example, store manager Lin should really be promoted this time when he goes to the head office.
For example, the relationship between the dishwasher aunt and Master Geng should be very good. You should be careful in the future and not offend this dishwasher aunt casually.
etc.
…
However, people always talk about it without thinking about it.
Manager Lin, who was judged by Master Geng and the dishwasher aunt that he would not be able to come back tonight, came to the store with a cheerful face and walked into the kitchen with a smile not long after.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Chen Xiaofeng turned around and was surprised to see it was store manager Lin.
I was surprised that Store Manager Lin came back today, and I was also surprised that Store Manager Lin was dressed like a groom today. He was completely new.
Stiff black trousers with clear trousers lines, a brand new white short-sleeved shirt with very clear pleats, and a pair of black leather shoes on her feet that are so bright and reflective.
The aunt who was washing vegetables turned around, saw Manager Lin, and said in surprise: "Huh? Manager, you're back today? Why didn't you take a day off at the head office? You rushed back in such a hurry, do you miss your wife?"
The smile on Manager Lin's face became even wider, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Sister Wang, don't talk nonsense! The meeting was over in the morning, and I haven't come back yet, why are you staying there? Besides, what's the point of having a wife?
What do you think? When can’t we see you someday?”
As he said that, he was already looking around the kitchen. When he saw a pot of braised chicken that had just been cooked on the counter, he took out a pair of disposable chopsticks, broke it open, picked up a piece of chicken and squinted to taste it.
Master Geng, who was washing the pots, turned around and said with a smile: "Manager Lin, should we call you Manager Lin now? Hehe."
Manager Lin spit out the chicken bones in his mouth into the trash can nearby, reached for a tissue and wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Haha, it's up to you! You can scream whatever you want, as long as you're happy!"
The vegetable-washing aunt wiped the water stains on her hands on the apron cloth around her waist and asked curiously: "Store manager, you went to the head office for a promotion this time... The promoted position is really called a big store manager? What kind of a big store manager is that?
What's your position? From now on, will the affairs of our store still be under your control?"
Master Geng stopped washing the pots and turned around to ask curiously: "Yes, Manager Lin. How much power does this store manager have? Will all the company's branches be under your control in the future?"
Manager Lin laughed and shook his head. As he walked over and looked at Chen Xiaofeng's chopped ribs, he said, "You don't have that much power! I'm not the only one who was promoted to store manager today, there are 37 other store managers!
"
"So many?" Auntie, who was washing vegetables, clicked her tongue.
Master Geng was also surprised, with doubtful eyes, "No way? So many? Then what do you do as a big store manager?"
Chen Xiaofeng subconsciously stopped what he was doing and looked at Store Manager Lin curiously.
He also wanted to know what kind of store manager his cousin was promoted to this time and what kind of position he held.
The smile on Store Manager Lin's face did not diminish, he put his hands on his hips, exhaled, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that starting from today, I will be in charge of a few more stores, 5 branches and 10 franchise stores! It's just this big.
What a small right! Haha.”
He sounded very humble when he said this.
But anyone can tell that he is very proud, and the smile on his face clearly reveals the joy of spring breeze.
Master Geng was stunned.
The dishwashing aunt was also very surprised, but she reacted quickly and immediately said with surprise: "Ah, this power is more than ten times greater! Congratulations, manager! This is great! I guess you are today
When you go home at night, your wife will definitely work very hard to make you feel comfortable! Haha."
Chen Xiaofeng was also surprised.
A big store manager could actually manage so many stores. He blinked, then blinked again, and suddenly his desire to go home and open his own store after learning the craft was no longer so strong.
At the same time, he squeezed out a smile and said to Store Manager Lin: "Manager, congratulations!"
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Manager Lin thanked him and the dishwashing aunt with satisfaction.
Master Geng saw him and quickly congratulated him, "This...store manager Lin, congratulations! Your status has risen sharply now! If you get promoted again, you will probably be the vice president of the company, right?"
Manager Lin waved his hands quickly and said with a smile: "Exaggeration, exaggeration! Where have I been? I am still far away from the vice president! President Sun has announced at today's meeting that by the end of this year, he will still be with us
Among these 37 big store managers, how many regional store managers will be selected? Then the regional store managers will really have high authority. I, the big store manager... Haha, it’s far, far behind!
