Ge Liangcai laughed, "She has to go to work every day, and we don't live together. How can she have that time?"
As he said that, he saw the whole Zhonghua in Xu Tongdao's hand and couldn't help but ask: "Huh? Why did you bring this Zhonghua? It's not for me, right?"
This time it was Comrade Xu's turn to laugh.
"This is what the boss lady gave me today, but I can give you two packages!"
He was not stingy in this regard. As he spoke, he opened the package of cigarettes seriously, took two packages and walked over, stuffing them into Ge Liangcai's coat pocket.
Ge Liangcai didn't refuse. He smiled and said, "Since this is a gift for you, I won't be polite to you. By the way, you should have something else to do when you come here today, right? If you have anything to say, you can tell me! It just so happens that there's no one else here."
Tongdao Xu originally planned to ask Ge Liangcai to go to his barbecue restaurant to have something to eat and drink after get off work in the evening, and we would talk about it then.
However, Ge Liangcai was right. At this moment, there happened to be no one else here.
So, he opened a pack of Chinese medicine, ordered one for Ge Liangcai, and whispered his thoughts to Ge Liangcai.
After saying that, he asked: "How's it going? Cousin, are you interested in contracting Zhiweixuan's kitchen? Do you want to give it a try?"
Ge Liangcai had been frowning and thinking for a long time. When he heard Tongdao Xu ask, he looked at Tongdao Xu and asked, "Are you sure you can convince the owner of that shop to change all the people in the kitchen?"
Xu Tongdao: "I'm definitely not 100% sure, but I'm sure it's 60% or 70% sure. But before I tell him, I have to make sure you have the idea... and the ability! Cousin, you do.
Are you sure you can get so many people to go with you?"
Ge Liangcai did not answer immediately.
He frowned, took two puffs of cigarette, sighed, and nodded slightly, "It should be about the same! In fact, I don't need to be able to recruit so many people myself. As long as I can recruit a few masters with good skills to go with me, the rest
It's easy to find positions such as cutting and mixing, cold dishes, and pastries! Each of those master chefs can help introduce a few, and then the people they introduce can introduce a few to me.
, a team can put it together.”
It's a bit like doing engineering.
The general manager does not need to personally recruit every worker under his command. As long as he can find a few reliable foremen, those foremen will naturally be able to recruit suitable workers.
Therefore, Tongdao Xu nodded slightly, but he still had concerns, "Cousin, are you sure you can find a few masters with good skills?"
In his impression, masters with good craftsmanship are generally in high demand and rarely stay at home.
The treatment in every store is generally not bad.
It is very difficult to ask a master like that to resign and leave with you at any time.
Ge Liangcai smiled and nodded again, "It should be no problem! Over the years, I have gotten along well with several of my senior brothers. As long as the salary can be paid well, it should be no problem for them to work with me."
Hearing what he said, Comrade Xu laughed.
He remembered that when he was learning cooking from Ge Liangcai, he had indeed met two of Ge Liangcai's junior brothers. He and his cousin had drinks with those two men back then!
"So, cousin, do you agree? Are you going to try Zhiweixuan?"
Comrade Xu thought Ge Liang would nod again.
As a result, Ge Liangcai smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Let's forget it! Anyway, I don't think there's much certainty that this will happen, so I won't bother with it."
Um?
Comrade Xu was surprised.
Is Ge Liangcai so unmotivated?
This is not like the Ge Liangcai in his impression!
In his impression, Ge Liangcai had the strongest ambition among all his cousins. Otherwise, a few years later in the original time and space, Ge Liangcai would not have taken the initiative to try to contract kitchens, and more and more kitchens were contracted.
But what's going on today?
Ge Liangcai has no interest in contracting Zhiweixuan's kitchen?
Does he still have no ambition? Or... in this life, Ge Liangcai and Feng Qinghua did not get together, and without Feng Qinghua's encouragement, Ge Liangcai had no ambition?
Tongdao Xu frowned and couldn't help but ask: "Why? Cousin, if you don't try it, how do you know it won't work? What if it works? Don't you know how much more money you can make by contracting the kitchen? Don't you know?
Don’t you want to make more money?”
The salary of chefs has always been higher than that of most office workers.
Tongdao Xu remembered that around 2008, Ge Liangcai told him that a chef in a three-star hotel... had a monthly salary of more than 20,000 yuan.
Not to mention the chefs of star-rated hotels, even in the small restaurants on the roadside, there were many chefs with a monthly salary of tens of thousands in around 2008.
Moreover, he is not a chef in a big city, but in their Shazhou County town.
Therefore, he did not believe that Ge Liangcai was not interested in being the head chef.
Ge Liangcai smiled bitterly, "No! I have promised Zhang Wenxiu a few days ago. After a year, I will resign and open a shop like you! I have already promised her, so it's hard to keep my promise, right?
What do you think?"
Xu Tongdao: "..."
Never imagined.
Tongdao Xu really never expected that the reason would be this.
Is he actually related to that Zhang Wenxiu?
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
With his brows furrowed and in a depressed mood, he couldn't help but take out a cigarette and light it. When he lit Ge Liangcai's cigarette, he had resisted smoking, but now, he wanted to smoke one.
As a result, I choked at the first bite.
After coughing twice, he frowned and asked, "What's going on? Cousin! Did Zhang Wenxiu take the initiative to persuade you to resign after the year and open a store? Was it she who took the initiative to persuade you?"
Ge Liangcai hummed, with a faint smile on his face, "Yes! She persuaded me, and I think she was right. Isn't there a ready-made example like you? You are only 17 years old.
, I haven’t formally learned cooking skills from anyone, yet I dare to come to the county town to set up a stall and sell barbecue. And now I have opened a shop, and the business is so prosperous. I must earn much more than those of us working part-time, right?
Right? So, Zhang Wenxiu also persuaded me to open a store a few days ago. I thought about it carefully for a few days and then made up my mind. What? You don’t think highly of me? "
Xu Tongdao: "..."
After another moment of silence, Xu Tongdao found that he could no longer persuade him anymore.
How to advise?
Ge Liangcai asked if he didn't like him anymore.
If Comrade Xu continues to persuade him, wouldn't it be equivalent to saying to Ge Liangcai - "Yes! I just don't think highly of you, so you'd better not open a store!"
Although he and Ge Liangcai were close, they were not that close.
After all, they are just cousins, not brothers.
"What store do you plan to open? Where do you plan to open it?"
Comrade Xu exhaled his suffocation and forced a smile to ask.
He had given up the idea of persuading Ge Liangcai to contract the kitchen of Zhiweixuan. He felt that the butterfly effect brought about by his rebirth was becoming more and more obvious.
Ge Liangcai's fate is completely different from the original time and space.
