Lao Tan took the bottle for ten consecutive days, then returned to his hometown to spend the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month with his mother. After returning with his son, he arranged work in the provincial capital and then went to Beijing.
I talked to Lin Yan once before leaving, but it wasn't very successful.
Lin Yan didn't seem to care about the Chinese New Year, and went to work directly after returning from her parents' home. Knowing that Lao Tan had an enlarged branch, she said comforting words and told him to stop doing it and take good care of his body. When he gets better, he would start working again.
It's a small restaurant, and it's better to take care of the family and the land than to work for others.
Lao Tan didn't agree, because opening a restaurant might not make as much money as he does now, and besides, he couldn't leave Ah Qiao behind, so he never thought about going it alone.
Lao Tan deliberately tried to talk about the two of them, but Lin Yan was not interested. He said that his children would go to junior high school in the second half of the year and become a sports student, so they had to prepare money. He said that sports students cost money and ordinary families could not afford it. After entering junior high school, they started to fight.
For provincial competitions and national competitions, each competition can cost less than 10,000 yuan, not counting training fees, clothing fees, food and drink.
"He currently costs RMB 800 to 800 for a pair of shoes, but he still dares not buy good ones, which cost RMB 3,000 to 3,000. A pair of shoes can only last for more than two months. The soles of the shoes slip when he wears them again, and he falls easily. I can't even buy shoes for him."
Got up." Lin Yan complained.
"Then buy it." Lao Tan said.
"That's easy to say." Lin Yan snorted, and then said: "We can't rest now. My son has been in junior high school for three years and high school for three years. These six years will cost more than 100,000. Then he will go to college for four years, then take the postgraduate entrance examination, and add
After seven years together, we still get two hundred thousand.
Don’t look for a job after graduation, don’t get married, and buy a house worth at least 500,000 yuan. It’s all money, so earn it quickly.”
After hearing what his wife said, Lao Tan couldn't say anything else.
"You earn more outside, but you also spend a lot. Besides, the restaurant is not accurate, so I don't know what it will be like. I don't dare to spend a penny randomly now. Our company looks very good now. Who knows what will happen in the future?"
?
Now I don't want to think about anything but making money to lay the foundation for the future. I don't want to have no money when my son goes to college and have nowhere to borrow it. You have time to go to the medical university for a check-up and find out what's going on -
-----
I don’t have time to spend with you. Besides, you should smoke less and drink less. Why don’t you know your health?
We are doing well together now, both making money. I know what you mean, but I don’t want to be like that, I’m not used to it. If you stop talking to those girls outside, how can you get married? I agree with my son without consent."
The conversation ends here.
There was nothing wrong with Lin Yan's words. To be honest, it was much better than before and was acceptable. Especially when it came to the cost of his son's schooling, Lao Tan was sincerely convinced. Lin Yan had always been in charge of this matter. He seldom worried about it and never thought about it carefully.
What he thinks is that everything is fine. He can just give the money he earns to his family and have a place to sleep when he goes home. Of course, it would be better if he has the tenderness of his wife.
This has been how I have been here these past few years, as if my home is a hotel, I stay there for a few days and then leave, and the hotel is my home.
It seems a bit counterproductive.
He always finds fault with Lin Yan. As the head of the family, what has he done for the family? Have he taken care of the children? Have he ever thought about his wife? Even the house was bought by his wife, and the decoration will be completed when he comes back.
To be honest, Lin Yan has done more for her family over the years than Lao Tan, who is just a hands-off shopkeeper. In the eyes of outsiders, he has a prosperous career and is a good person. But to his family, his wife, and his children -
----
He couldn't help it.
Of course, this does not mean that Lin Yan has nothing wrong with her. As a wife, not understanding and trusting her husband is her biggest mistake.
This may be the main reason why the relationship between the two reached a freezing point.
Before going to Beijing, Yanhua had a talk with Lao Tan. Of course, she was talking about the children. At the same time, she proposed to take a back seat from this year, no longer participate in management, and live a fairy life with Lao Deng.
Lao Tan agreed and congratulated her and Lao Deng at the same time, hoping that God would give them a boy and a half girl.
Now, the whole Ah Qiao is handed over to Lao Tan, and I am even more tired than before.
When he arrived in Beijing, Zhou Xiaomei and his host Wang Shulan, who had arrived two days before him, picked him up at the station and went directly to the hotel under renovation on Liulin Road without stopping.
The decoration is almost finished and will be completed in another half month. Most of the hotel procedures have been completed, except for the fire protection and health permits. These two certificates will not be issued until the decoration is completed and accepted.
It must be said that Wang Shulan is a sociable and entrepreneurial woman. When she came to clean up Lao Tan at night, there were district cadres, leaders of the Food and Drug Administration, and the person in charge of fire protection. Without exception, these people became friends with Wang Shulan, and some of them came.
They are already good sisters, and we talk about everything and have a great time together.
Everyone has their own strengths. If you are good at sociability, you will have more friends. The more friends you have, the more resources you will have. This is an era of resource integration and win-win cooperation. If you can do this, your career will be half successful.
The next day, Lao Tan began to prepare for the establishment of the Beijing team.
Hua Qing was transferred as the head chef, Su Yaqiqi was transferred as the dumpling supervisor, and Li Jing, who had performed well in Suzhou, was appointed as the manager. Her supervisory duties
An old store manager sent by the headquarters serves as the manager.
Three days later, these people arrived one after another, and under the leadership of Zhou Xiaomei, they began to prepare manpower and conduct intensive training.
Since it was his first store in Beijing, Lao Tan paid special attention to it and personally led the chefs and stall owners to inspect various dumpling restaurants in Beijing, including some well-known Chinese restaurants.
Then I personally design the menu, and on the basis of maintaining the traditional characteristics of Ah Qiao, I incorporate elements of local food culture to ensure that it will be a hit as soon as it opens.
Of course, the biggest highlights are the open kitchen and health wine, and the most attractive thing is the Northeastern dumpling wine culture.
In addition, the storefront that combines modern elements with Northeastern folk customs is also a highlight. It attracts the attention of the people on the whole street, and they are all looking forward to opening as soon as possible so that they can go in and have a try.
During this period, let’s talk about the training for employees.
Hua Qing and Li Jing are responsible for the business skills. They have processes, standards and practical operations, and they do a good job.
Lao Tan personally conducted training on employee quality and corporate culture. A small part of the employees were transferred from the provincial capital and Hohhot, and most of the rest were newly recruited, including two supervisors.
There was a situational teaching session on the first day of training. Lao Tan talked about filial piety and gratitude. His simple language and sincere narration moved the employees deeply, and most of them cried.
After class, many young children picked up their mobile phones and called their parents far away in their hometowns, saying ordinary greetings that their parents had been waiting to hear for a long time. Each call was simple, but touching.
"Mom, how are you doing recently? Do your legs still hurt?"
"Dad, it's cold, so wear more clothes when going up the mountain------"
"Mom, you can spend the money given to you and I will transfer it to you next month."
"Dad, I'm fine now, and both you and my mother are fine------"
"------"
That night, two new supervisors came to Lao Tan and said that they had several friends who also worked in restaurants and had not received such training, and they wanted to observe it the next day.
Lao Tan agreed generously.
There were a few more people training in the morning of the next day, and by the afternoon there were more than ten people. In the evening, the bosses of the observers also came.
How can I put it this way? Lao Tan’s training is practical and down-to-earth. There is no fancy language and it is not made up. It is all based on the experience gained from twenty years of working life. It is expressed in a language that hotel people can understand. Everyone
It’s easy to accept. After listening to it, I suddenly realized: Wow, this is what happened——
The words are accompanied by principles of life, and from time to time a witticism, or a small story that happened around them, makes people understand how to be a person, how to do things, and how to live after laughing.
As a result, I became friends with the bosses of those who were observing that night, and the last day of training turned into a large lecture hall for employees from several stores. The speakers were passionate and the listeners were excited, but there was no loud applause.
Ah Qiao opened the restaurant before it even opened, and was recognized by catering people in Beijing.
