Mr. Xu had the intention of chopping down the vegetables, but he didn't expect that Lao Tan would chop off half of the vegetables as soon as he opened his mouth. This was unacceptable to him.
But he didn't know that the new Binhai Qinghua Pavilion store also had an area of 5,000 square meters, and Lao Tan only designed 60 stir-fried dishes. It was very successful, with a daily turnover of more than 80,000 yuan.
After hearing Wang Gang ask him how many words were appropriate, Mr. Xu immediately said: "At least eighty."
Wang Gang said to Lao Tan: "Master Tan, I think Mr. Xu is right about eighty Taoxing. It can't be too little."
Before arriving, Wang Gang and Lao Tan made a plan.
Knowing that Mr. Xu would not agree to cut off half of the dishes at once, if Mr. Xu had to decide, he would probably keep a hundred dishes. The two of them planned it. Lao Tan first said to keep 60 dishes, and Mr. Xu promised not to agree. Then Wang Gang
Let Mr. Xu decide how many channels to keep. At this time, Mr. Xu will not say to keep a hundred channels. Eighty channels is very likely.
The result is really eighty.
When the goal was achieved, Lao Tan pretended to say: "Okay, let's order eighty dishes." Then he said confidently: "Mr. Xu, Wang Gang and I are responsible for the dishes. It will become special in three months and famous in six months."
"
Mr. Xu looked better and was very happy to hear what Lao Tan said. He said, "I believe you two can do it."
Wang Gang said: "Master Tan said that if you can't study aircraft and cannons, the kitchen must understand it. Does this mean you don't want Master Tan?"
Lao Tan smiled and pointed at the drawing with a pen, drawing Mr. Xu's attention to the drawing.
"Mr. Xu, look, Wang Gang and I's plan is to assign the dishes to each chef and make them responsible for their own dishes. In this way, the quality of the products and the speed of serving can be improved," Lao Tan said.
Mr. Xu nodded.
"The current problem is how to solve the fire source of cold dishes and noodles? The noodles are okay, but the cold dishes are mainly cold dishes. Our cold dishes have no special features. Wang Gang and I made a plan and planned to combine the noodles, meat sausages, and egg sausages from the countryside.
, Braised pig head, crystal knuckles, mille-feuille crisps, skin jelly, these dishes that are used for banquets in the countryside are combined with smoked pickles, so that the characteristics come out. The authentic farmhouse flavor is in line with our family style. "
Lao Tan said.
"That's good. I've had this plan for a long time. It's just that it's hard to find a chef in rural areas, and our family has never done anything like this." Mr. Xu said happily.
Wang Gang asked: "Just tell me whether you want to have sex or not?"
Mr. Xu said: "Come on."
"What kind of master are you looking for? Master Tan can do all these things. He's so domineering in Binhai." Wang Gang pointed at Lao Tan.
Mr. Xu looked at Lao Tan with gleaming eyes and realized that he had picked up a treasure.
Lao Tan smiled and said, "I have a relatively complex background, and I know a little bit about everything." Then he went straight to the point, "Mr. Xu, look, if you do all these manual tasks, you first need operating space, and secondly, you need a fire source.
Now there is no room on our stove."
Mr. Xu looked a little worried when looking at the drawings.
Lao Tan spread out the drawings of the warehouse and vegetable room, and said to Mr. Xu: "Wang Gang and I did some research, and it is suitable to turn the warehouse into a hot operation room for cold dishes."
Mr. Xu asked: "Where is the warehouse?"
Wang Gang said: "There are three spare rooms in the dormitory on the second floor, which are as big as a warehouse. They are filled with useless tables, chairs and benches. It is just right to use them as a warehouse."
Mr. Xu put it all together and felt that this plan was feasible. He said to Wang Gang: "I'll leave this matter to you. Can it be completed in a week?"
Wang Gang said: "Boss, if you are building a kitchen, can it be completed in a week? At least half a month, it's quite a lot of work?"
Mr. Xu smiled and said: "Everything we do now is about efficiency. Our efficiency was too low before, so we have to speed up from now on."
Lao Tan said: "It takes half a month to complete the entire kitchen, water supply, exhaust, installation of the stove, and the flooring. It is really a lot of work. Let's not be too anxious. Everything has been planned, and it will be easy to do."
"Old Tan is right, you must have a plan for everything you do," Mr. Xu said.
Lao Tan spread out the drawings of Chapter 3 and asked Mr. Xu to look at it. This time Mr. Xu understood it clearly and said to Wang Gang: "Wang Gang, look at Master Tan, do you admire me? The space between noodles and cold dishes is small and there is no room."
When it comes to putting up shelves, the hanger designed by Master Tan directly solves the problem. It takes up space but not space. You should learn from it."
Wang Gang said: "Okay, let's learn."
Mr. Xu said: "I'll leave the hanger matter to you as well."
Wang Gang said: "I have already contacted the stainless steel people, and I am just waiting for you to speak."
After finishing these things, Mr. Xu concluded: "Yes, we will do this for everything in the future. We will prepare the plan in advance and bring it over for a vote. This saves trouble and is efficient."
Lao Tan said: "Don't worry, from now on we will only ask you to do multiple-choice questions."
Mr. Xu felt that he had heard this sentence somewhere, but couldn't remember it for a while, so he asked: "Old Tan, this is correct, who said it?"
"The work report states the plan, and the leader only asks multiple-choice questions. That's what the manager said."
As soon as Lao Tan and Wang left the office, they went about their business.
Zhang Li received a call from Zhou Xiaomei, saying that she would be at her home at two o'clock in the afternoon. So she went back home during the lunch break. The two chatted for a while and had to go to work in the afternoon, so they did not spend much time with Zhou Xiaomei. When she left, Zhou Xiaomei
Ask her to call Li Shuang and Lao Tan over when she gets off work. She brings the little stupid chicken and her home-made white wine to drink together.
Zhang Li returned to the hotel and informed Lao Tan and Li Shuang that they would come to her house for dinner in the evening. Of course they were happy.
After get off work, the three of them left the compound. Zhang Li handed the electric scooter to Lao Tan and asked him to carry her.
After ten o'clock, Huanghe Street was deserted, with few pedestrians and few passing vehicles. At this time, the wide street showed its original appearance, stretching straight into the distance.
It's still winter in the north in March, and the temperature at night is minus eight or nine degrees Celsius.
Most of the people who come home at night at this time work in catering. The catering people go there under the sun in the morning and return under the stars at night. They don’t get off work until everyone else goes to bed. During the New Year and festivals, others have holidays to reunite with their families, and the whole family
The children happily gathered together and went to the restaurant for dinner. They endured the pain of homesickness, swallowed down the tears of longing, put smiles on their faces, and sent delicious food and blessings to everyone who entered the restaurant for reunion.
These are a group of simple children who mostly come from rural areas. If they are at home, they are the sons and daughters of their parents. They are loved and cared for, eating the food cooked by their mother, listening to their father’s nagging, and enjoying the warmth and warmth.
happiness.
But from the day they walked into the hotel, holidays became an infinite desire in their hearts. They looked at the guests and their families happily reunited with smiles, and thought about their parents who were far away in their hometown.
According to incomplete statistics, there are 7.1 million full-service restaurant stores nationwide, 1.82 million fast food restaurants, and 400,000 food stalls. The entire catering industry employs more than 10 million people.
In other words, at this moment, after ten o'clock at night, there are nearly ten million people walking on the streets across the country hurriedly home.
Thumbs up for our caterers.
Lao Tan was riding an electric bicycle. Zhang Li put her arms around his waist and put her head on his back.
"Old Tan, do you still remember the last time you rode a bicycle to carry me?" Zhang Li asked with some aftertaste.
"When did you say that?" Lao Tan asked.
"Which time? How many times in total?" Zhang Li was a little angry and slapped Lao Tan with her hand.
Old Tan chuckled. He knew what time the woman was talking about, but he didn't want to mention it. It happened more than ten years ago, so instead of mentioning it, it would be better to bury it in his heart as a memory.
Zhang Li is a good woman, but she has been having trouble with relationships and marriage. He hopes that Zhang Li can find a man who loves her and cares for her, and gives herself a home. She is forty-two, and it will be difficult to find a woman if you don't find one at this age.
, especially if I don’t have children yet, it’s inevitable to feel a little regretful.
Thinking of the child, Lao Tan thought of his son, and a father's loving smile appeared on his face. His son should be back in the next two days, I thought a little. The little guy is playing wild now, he wants to go anywhere, and he can stay anywhere. He is going back to his grandma's house.
Even if he went there by car, which was more than 80 kilometers away, and there was no adult accompanying him, it would be difficult for him. This kid is adventurous, independent, sensible, and has the same demeanor as he did when he was a child.
"What are you thinking about? You haven't spoken for a long time?" Zhang Li asked from behind.
Lao Tan knew that he had slipped away and said, "I didn't think about anything. I was watching the road. It's dark at night."
"You are not short-sighted." Zhang Li muttered.
Knowing that Lao Tan was dealing with him, he thought to himself that he was not sure what he was thinking. Thinking that Lao Tan had been walking to and from get off work these days, he asked: "Why are you still walking to and from get off work? How good is this electric car?"
Lao Tan said: "It's not far, so walking is just for exercise. My courtyard is now in tatters and there is no garage. I bought it just to prepare it for thieves."
Zhang Li said: "That's right. I'm tired from walking. Our two families are not far apart. If not, you call me at my house in the morning and carry me to and from get off work."
"I'd better walk, it's more strenuous. If you meet me halfway, just give me a ride." Lao Tan said.
"Isn't it too strenuous? Do you know that there are many people who want to carry me?"
Lao Tan said nothing and quickly arrived at Zhang Li's house.
Zhou Xiaomei has already prepared the meal, stewed chicken, jelly skin, cucumbers, braised pork ribs with pickled cabbage, and dumplings stuffed with celery.
When meeting Zhou Xiaomei, Lao Tan felt a sense of intimacy. This was related to the fact that Zhou Xiaomei was the niece of her uncle's second sister-in-law, and was also her classmate in the previous year. The two-level relationship combined made her naturally closer than others.
"Brother-in-law, I went to my aunt's house on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. My aunt said that my grandma went to my aunt's house." Zhou Xiaomei said.
"Well, my mother is at my fifth sister's house now," Lao Tan said.
"When did you come back?"
"The eighth day of the lunar month."
"I'll bring you a chicken and a rabbit. Take them back when you leave."
"Well, thank you."
Zhou Xiaomei waved her hand, meaning you're welcome.
Zhou Xiaomei is going to work as a marketing manager in Guandong. She is qualified in marketing and is unique in this area. In fact, she can be a general manager now. After more than two years of training in Binhai, her ability is not inferior to Zhang Li. In addition, she has a good image and temperament.
Good, he looks like a professional manager at first glance.
Lao Tan said to the three ladies: "This time you three get together, there is no one at the front desk."
Zhang Li said: "The three of us are going to make Guandong a provincial capital and a powerful one."
"I think it will work." Lao Tan said.
Li Shuang said: "You have to have the support of the boss. The boss is not talking about it for nothing."
Zhang Li took a dumpling and put it in her mouth. While eating, she said, "Old Tan, I heard that you took care of Wang Gang's apprentice today."
"There is such a thing." Lao Tan said.
"Be careful, the kitchen is owned by Wang Gang," Zhang Li reminded.
"It's okay, I don't know who is whose, in the end they are all mine." Old Tan said with a smile.
"Am I yours?" Zhang Li asked provocatively, with ambiguity in her words, and her face turned red after drinking.
Lao Tan looked at her and said, "You are sick again."
"Tch! You look so scared. Let me tell you, Lao Tan, now I understand clearly, no one belongs to anyone else? You are your own, take good care of yourself and you will have everything." Zhang Li said.
Li Shuang felt the same way and said: "I like to hear this. No one belongs to anyone else. We are our own. Our parents raised us, we support them when we grow up, and when they leave, we will grow old. Our generation
People still know how to support their parents. It’s not certain whether the next generation will be able to support us, so we should save more money while we can, so that we will have enough money to support ourselves when we are old.”
Zhou Xiaomei asked Li Shuang: "No news about Xiao Gao?"
Li Shuang said: "Yes, in Russia, I worked on a construction site and was paid 10,000 yuan during the Chinese New Year."
Zhang Li said: "That's not bad. I know how to send money home."
"He has such an old son. How can he live without money? He will starve to death." Li Shuang curled his lips and seemed to be in a good mood. Unlike last year, when he mentioned Xiao Gao, his teeth started to itch with hatred.
Lao Tan said to Zhou Xiaomei: "You are the marketing manager. It's March now. The hotel can't be too busy before May Day. We should train the sales staff together and tell them what marketing is. It's not just about ordering a few dishes and that's it.
The ordering staff should train their ordering skills. The marketing techniques of special dishes must be memorized. Also, learn to sell membership cards and stored-value cards to lock in customers in advance. I plan to improve the dishes in March and rectify them in April.
, sales in May reached 1.5 million, which requires your cooperation in marketing."
"Don't worry, uncle, you will definitely fulfill your mission." Zhou Xiaomei promised.
"Also, hurry up and book a wedding banquet. There are many weddings on May Day." Lao Tan reminded.
Zhang Li said: "There have been three weddings now."
Lao Tan said: "Young man, at least five servings are enough."
"May Day is enough. Now almost all the people getting married have booked hotels. Let's go on National Day, more after National Day." Zhang Li said.
Lao Tan nodded, thinking that there were many young people in the aircraft factory, and many people got married every year, so they had to seize these weddings.
It seems that I need to talk to my neighbor Brother Li about this matter. He has many contacts in the factory and has many connections.
