At the end of August, the hotel was ready to receive guests. The first batch of guests who checked in were eight young people, four men and four women, who had four rooms. They seemed to be college students who were about to start school, in the period of love, and former classmates who were starting school.
At parties, people who are in love can't help themselves. They don't dare to book a room in a hotel on the street, for fear of meeting acquaintances or relatives, so they come here to be romantic.
Young people today are so open-minded. No one dared to do this ten years ago. Twenty years ago, you had to get a marriage certificate. Thirty years ago, this was called indiscriminate relations between men and women. Society is developing and times are progressing. Nowadays, men and women have sex.
It's not surprising that it's abnormal not to book a room.
Sister Yuan asked Lao Tan jokingly if he had ever rented a room with Tiezi. Lao Tan smiled and said no, and he didn’t have Tiezi. Sister Yuan said you should pay attention to it. The women here are generous, especially the Mongolian women.
You can't even run away.
Lao Tan thought it would be fine if it really happened, and he wouldn't object to having a romance in Inner Mongolia.
The hotel has not been renovated yet. It is only open for trial operation. Anyone who knows about it can come and stay. It doesn't matter if you don't. It is mainly for military training.
In the past two days, people from the kitchen came up. After tasting the dishes, Lao Tan was very dissatisfied with the chef. The applicants all said that they were very good and could cook all kinds of dishes. In Lao Tan's opinion, they would not be able to do anything.
It's just like a small restaurant. The dishes are overcooked and have no taste, let alone any special features.
When the restaurant opened, Sister Yuan wanted to make it a hit, but a chef of this caliber would definitely not be able to do it. Especially when opening the restaurant, all the leaders came, and these leaders knew who they were, and they all had the mouth of the emperor.
During the food tasting, Sister Yuan, Director Gao, and Director Zhang were also there, and they all shook their heads after tasting it.
Jinxing Copper is a large group that came to attract investment from the Tongliao area. The industrial park is the largest copper product trading center in Northeast China. It is unreasonable to open a hotel with food. Not to say it is the same as a high-end hotel, but it must be similar.
Lao Tan said that he would transfer chefs from the provincial capital here. But Ganqika is a small place, and the chefs from the provincial capital are not willing to come. Sister Yuan said she couldn’t do it and offered a high price. Lao Tan laughed. It was embarrassing to say a high price. First,
I don't want to come. Secondly, this place won't last long. No matter who is in charge, it's impossible to hire a high-priced chef to cook here for a long time when there is no business.
Since you know you won't last long, it's only for a month or two, how can you quit a job that you were doing well to come here? Besides, Lao Tan can't do that - introduce people here even though he knows he won't last long.
But now that we have taken over, we have to find a way to solve it, and we cannot leave the problem to Sister Yuan.
He said: "Don't worry, I can handle everything, no problem, just leave it to me."
After more than two months of cooperation, Sister Yuan has gained a lot of trust in Lao Tan. She smiled and said, "With you, I can rest assured that there is nothing Lao Tan can't solve without you." Then she thought of something and said, "Let's go to the street to eat barbecue in the evening.
Leg of lamb, Director Gao’s treat.”
When talking about the roasted leg of lamb, Mr. Tan remembered Mongolian food. The Mongolian food chef who applied for the job was named Bao. He was 30 years old and a Mongolian. He did a good job in Mongolian food and has been hired. When I bought the tableware, I didn’t buy Mongolian food.
, Master Bao asked to buy some, and Lao Tan agreed to go to Tongliao to buy some.
He said to Sister Yuan: "Sister Yuan, you still have to buy some tableware for Mongolian meals."
Sister Yuan said: "Buy it, tell me how much it costs, and I will give it to you tomorrow. I will go back to the Liaozhong headquarters for a meeting the day after tomorrow, and you will lead me to buy it."
Lao Tan said: "Okay, it's okay."
As the saying goes, a good person has a good life, and someone will give him a pillow when he is sleepy. The brother-in-law of the Li Zhongqing brothers from Guandong is also a chef. His family is from Tongliao. He has been working in the provincial capital and cooks good food. I have been here for the past two days and am planning to return to my hometown of Tongliao.
Li Zhongqing's younger brother Li Huaqing felt that working in Guandong was boring, and his father-in-law's family was also from Tongliao, so he and his brother-in-law planned to go back to Tongliao for two days. If there was any good work in Tongliao, they could work there.
Li Zhongqing knew through Zhang Li that Lao Tan was working in Ganqika, so he asked his younger brother Hua Qing to call Lao Tan and ask Hua Qing to visit Lao Tan in Ganqika when he returned to Tongliao and show his kindness to Lao Tan.
When I was working with the Guandong people, I got along well with their brothers, and they also respected Lao Tan very much.
After Hua Qing and his brother-in-law Sun Hai became adults, they had a meal and drank some wine with Lao Tan. At the wine table, they talked about the hotel. Hua Qing said that since there was no work now, he could work here with his brother-in-law for two months and wait for Lao Tan.
If we evacuate, we will evacuate together. The best we can do is to work until the Spring Festival. We can celebrate the New Year in Tongliao and it is still close to home. Of course Lao Tan is happy that they are working here. The quality of the dishes can be guaranteed with them. Huaqing and Lao Tan have cooperated for two months.
, I am familiar with Lao Tan’s dishes and cooking methods, and it is easy to get started.
The chef problem was solved in this way. Not only was the chef problem solved, Hua Qing's brother-in-law Sun Haicheng also introduced a cold dish chef with good skills, which solved Lao Tan's urgent need.
Now the kitchen is just short of a pastry chef. Sister Yuan doesn’t like those kinds of pasta. She loves to eat dumplings and is going to serve dumplings. This old Tan is good at it, from Heyuxuan to Linjiangxuan, and then to Qinghua Pavilion, all the time.
I have studied dumplings and trained several stuffing masters and many dumpling workers.
He thought of Wang Hong, so he called her. Wang Hong quit her job in Guandong without saying a word and took a car to Ganqika.
The kitchen staff are all in place, and now we still need the front desk manager and foreman.
Let’s talk about recruiting people. At first, Lao Tan thought that it would be easy to recruit people with the name of Jinxing Copper. After all, it is a large company, with guaranteed wages, and relatively better treatment than private restaurants in the street. There are full staff
The prizes include rest and overtime pay. Accommodation is provided far away from home. The accommodation conditions are excellent. There are four people in a dormitory, with TV, Internet, and bathing.
Such conditions should make it easy to recruit people, but the actual situation is not like this. The location here is partly due to the fact that Ganqika is a town after all. Although it has a population of more than 80,000, there are not many people living in the streets, only 10,000.
There are many people, most of whom are scattered in the surrounding villages, Sumu Gacha. The children of each family also come out to work, but they are not in the town. They like to travel far away, to Hohhot, the capital of Inner Mongolia, or to nearby provincial capitals.
, it is a big city after all. When young people go out, of course they will go to the big city.
Most of the people staying at home are elderly people or middle-aged people who can't leave, and there are very few young people. Almost all the young people on the street have formal jobs and are unlikely to go out to work. Even in the copper factory
Most of the people who work are over thirty-five years old, and there are very few people in their twenties, almost none.
For example, recruiting guest room attendants and housewives is very difficult. I originally planned to find two people in their thirties, with good looks and neat work, but the applicants were all housewives over forty-five years old.
Regardless of image, they are mainly Mongolians who are not fluent in Chinese and do not know Chinese characters. In addition to these, they are not able to work full-time. They have to go home to cook at five o'clock in the evening, and some have to pick up their grandchildren.
Of course this doesn't work.
Finally, through Bart, I found two Mongolian women in their thirties in Kulun. They were divorced, had no ties, could live here, and liked the job, so we were able to solve the problem. One of them was named Ulan, and the other was named
Tana, who doesn’t speak Chinese fluently, can communicate normally. She can also work more efficiently.
There is no difference between the two of them in the way they dress and dress. Tana is more avant-garde and Ulan is more solemn.
Hotel waiters and waiters and waiters cannot recruit people who are too old, but it is difficult to recruit young people. The women who came to apply were all nearly forty years old, the youngest was thirty years old, and there were no ones in their twenties.
The Mongolian meal maker said that most restaurants in the street are like this. Even if there are young girls, they all live in the street. They are not far from the restaurant, so the adults at home can rest assured. The work here is far from home, and it will be dark after get off work at night, so the young girls I don't dare to go back alone. My family won't worry if I live here, and they won't even let me. If they let me, they will allow my child to go work elsewhere instead of staying at home.
There was no other way but to select generals from among the poor, pick young ones with good image, who could write, open menus, and use the ordering skills. In the end, we hired five waitresses in their thirties and two waiters.
, the food waiter is also a woman, about forty years old, with a bad image but a good physique and able to work. The little boy was not recruited at all.
Since our country entered the new 21st century, the generation that started family planning in the 1980s has begun to become the main force of young people, including those born in the 1990s.
Thirty years of reform and opening up, society has developed rapidly, people's living standards have continued to improve, and people are living a good life. The old saying that seventy years of life is rare has been successfully broken. Seventy years old is no longer a hurdle, but a normal phenomenon.
.The number of elderly people in their eighties and nineties is gradually increasing, and they are healthy. Even centenarians are not a few.
Those who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s are not as densely populated as those born in the 1970s. At the same time, all walks of life in the city are flourishing and a hundred schools of thought are contending. Children from rural areas go to the city to work. Restaurants and construction teams are no longer the only choices. There are other industries that can be chosen.
There are many opportunities, such as sales offices, barber shops, beauty salons, factories, pharmacies, etc. These places are not less profitable than restaurants, and they are lighter than restaurants. Most children are willing to go there.
There are also places in the catering service industry where it is easy to recruit young girls and boys, such as karaoke bars, bathing centers, bars, pubs, etc. Young people like to go to these places because they are free and not strictly controlled, and they can have fun there.
, more enjoyable.
Beginning in 2000, hotel waiters began to age, transitioning into the stage of service ladies and service ladies. The average age is over thirty years old, and it continues to grow.
This is also inevitable for social development.
We have waiters and waiters, and the bartender is a distant cousin of Sister Yuan. We still need a manager and a foreman, so it is a bit difficult to recruit. Lao Tan has no choice but to recruit two more waiters, and plans to train them among these people.
Recruit externally.
Considering that all the leaders would be present on the day of the opening and we couldn’t afford to miss out on the food and service, we called Zhang Li and asked her to send Zhou Xiaomei over to help for two days during the opening.
Zhang Li readily agreed and said that by the way, she would send a few more waiters to help open the business.
After finishing these things, I started to train the kitchen staff on dishes and the front desk staff on services. Since the hotel is being renovated, all employees are not officially at work. The training period is from 9 am to 4 pm.
Lao Tan has no problem with training. He is professional, and his speech is humorous and practical. Everyone likes to listen to it. Although the receptionists are all housewives in their thirties and above, Lao Tan also has a way to train and talk about things they like to hear.
Combined with the housework situation at home, I transferred it to the hotel service. I just regulated my language and behavior. These women accepted it and learned very quickly.
In his words, when guests come to his home, he should entertain them as he should, smile more, be more enthusiastic, be more eloquent, introduce the delicious food at home to the guests, bring out the delicious drinks to the guests, and satisfy the guests.
Five of the seven waiters were Mongolian. One of them, Tuya Qiqiqi, asked what the customer should do if he wanted to order a drink. Lao Tan asked what he should do when a customer comes to the house.
Tuya Qiqige said: "Drink along and sing when you are happy."
"Then let's drink too and sing when we're happy." Then he asked, "Can you sing?"
Tuya Qiqige said generously: "Who can't sing? I will sing one for you."
After saying this, the Mongolian woman opened her mouth to sing a song about dismounting wine without any pretense. The song was beautiful and loud, and it was very sweet and loud without any accompaniment. It gave Lao Tan the feeling of being original.
This is real singing, he sighed in his heart.
During the training, Lao Tan explained things in simple terms, and when he was talking about professional knowledge, he added how to behave and do things. Starting from gratitude and filial piety, he sometimes moved people when he talked about it. Those with low tear points would shed tears involuntarily, and they were deeply moved.
"It's not easy for us humans. From conception to birth, from shithole to adult, it's our mother who pulls us up bit by bit. Do you know who has done the most to apologize to others throughout his life? Our dad.
Mom. When we were young, we did something wrong and got into trouble. Although we were scared, the first thing we thought of was to go home and find our mother. But our mother and father had to go behind our backs to apologize to others, and behaved humbly.
When you say nice things, you have to face others' rolling eyes and smile."
"When we grow up and have our own ideas and thoughts, the first people to contradict us are not others, but our parents. To be honest, everyone and I are of the same age and have children. Ask me, when
Are we very angry when our children are disobedient and contradict us? When our children do not come home on time from school, are we very anxious, worried, worried, and have random thoughts, fearing that something will happen to our children? When our children finally come back, we feel relieved.
If you can’t see your child, you won’t even want to eat or even sleep?”
"If you don't have a family, you don't know the price of food and rice; if you don't raise children, you don't know the kindness of your parents. When we become parents, we care about and worry about our children, and we have hopes and expectations. Dear sisters, now, at this moment, we might as well calm down and think about it.
Think about it, how many years ago, weren’t we also the children of our parents? Aren’t our parents just like us, worried about, worried about, and anxious about us? But how did we treat our parents at that time? Rebellion, resistance, conflict, or even dissatisfaction
Take a look. When we are so angry with our children that we secretly wipe away tears, do you know how many tears our parents have secretly shed for us?"
"Not to mention anything else, now we can hold a big banquet for our child's birthday, invite relatives and friends over to have a meal and drink, and while eating and drinking, we feel happy to watch the child grow up, and at the same time, we feel sorry for the pain we suffered on the day he was born.
I will also shed tears secretly. Yes, it’s a hard day for a mother on her son’s birthday. We sometimes forget our own birthday, but we can’t forget our child’s birthday. When we celebrate and wish our child, we wish we could hear the child say “Mom”
Thanks for your hard work'."
"We will forget our birthdays, but there is one person in this world who remembers our birthdays just like we remember the birthdays of our children. It is no one else but the mother who gave birth to us. Have we ever been grateful to the mother who gave us life and gave us life?
My mother and father who raised me were like, 'Mom, Dad, you have worked hard——'"
"Always remember that parents are children's first teachers. The reason why we live like human beings today is because we have inherited the genes and conduct of our parents. Many people like to go to mountains to worship Buddha and burn incense in temples.
In order to seek the blessings of the Buddha. But, dear brothers and sisters, do you know that the parents who gave birth to us are the living Bodhisattvas who truly protect us!"
"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop; the son wants to be filial but does not wait for his relatives. Don't wait until then to remember to honor your parents. The last thing in the world can't wait is filial piety. If you want your children to be filial and enjoy your old age, act quickly while your parents are still alive.
