In this world, the four seasons change, flowers bloom and fall, the sun and the moon cycle, and there seems to be a cycle of heaven.
People die every day, and new lives are born every day.
Ordinary people living in this world are busy and ordinary, running around all day for food, clothing and housing, experiencing ups and downs, joys and sorrows. They create with their hands to make themselves, their families and relatives live better, and at the same time, they also use their hands to create things.
The feet walk, measuring the length of life.
This is our life.
Before Gu Yi went on his honeymoon, he told Lao Tan that he should stay in Suzhou for a while and wait for him to come back before leaving. Lao Tan understood what he meant. He was going out for a long time this time and no one in the family was worried about something happening.
People, the richer they are, the more timid they become.
Who is Gu Yi? He is the eldest brother, a promiscuous person. Now that he has money, he has become more cautious.
In fact, this is also a necessity for people to transition from having no money to having money. As the saying goes, the richer you are, the stingier you are, and the poorer you are, the more generous you are. Otherwise, how can you say that the poor are generous and the generous is poor?
When people have no money, they think that’s what it is anyway, there’s no harm in being generous and speaking with pride.
After going through the process of making money and becoming rich, and knowing that money is hard-earned, I start to be stingy. In fact, it is not stingy, it is that I have a choice, do what is beneficial to me, and do not get involved in what is not beneficial.
Most people will still look down on the poor friends they were with at the beginning, slowly draw a clear line between them, and stop interacting with each other less often.
It is said that there are hot and cold feelings among people. Relatives are divided into thick and thin. They are good brothers when they are poor, and their eyes are high when they are rich.
Of course, Gu Yi is not that kind of person. He just doesn't trust the store. With Lao Tan at his side, he can happily spend his honeymoon with his wife without any worries.
Now ten stores in Suzhou sell "Ah Qiao's Fish". In order to ensure the quality, Lao Tan goes from store to store and teaches from store to store. With his guidance, the fish is cooked very well, and customers also like it.
Soon "Ah Qiao's Fish" became a hot-selling dish. People in Suzhou City can see it just by opening their WeChat Moments. Many of them come here just to taste it.
If you don’t accept it, the Internet is so powerful. In just half a month, Ah Qiao’s fish spread to the provincial capital, Beijing, Hohhot and other places.
That day Zhongqing called and asked Lao Tan if Aqiao's fish could be sold in Beijing. Beijing has a large passenger flow and people from all over the world can do it, so it should be possible.
Lao Tan said that he could try it, but definitely not in the provincial capital. Northerners have strong tastes and can tolerate salty food. They don't like sweet and sour dishes, except for pot-wrapped pork.
So Zhongqing started trial sales in four stores in Beijing. At first, like Suzhou, it was not very good, but on the third day it became popular, and a week later it became a hot seller.
Within a month, "Ah Qiao's Fish" became popular in the catering market in Beijing and Suzhou, attracting the attention of many catering people who went to taste and learn from it. At the same time, it also made the catering headlines and became a sensation.
Ah Qiao Dumpling Restaurant also became famous through this. For a time, it was looking for partners, and there was an endless stream of people joining the restaurant, but they were all rejected by Lao Tan.
He must follow the planned plan and never expand blindly.
His decision first received unconditional support from Yanhua, Zhang Yu, Yanzi and his wife were a little hesitant at first. After all, if they join, they will get a lot of money. Even if they don't do anything from now on, they will have enough money for the rest of their lives.
But after I calmed down, I stopped thinking about it and supported Lao Tan’s decision.
Although Wang Shulan, Gu Yi, and Qiao Shan were interested, they didn't have the right to join the franchise. They were still partners, so they complained about it, but in turn they supported it.
But the group lost some talents.
The catering market in 2018 was not very good, and many restaurants were not making money or even losing money. Under this situation, I suddenly discovered that Ah Qiao Dumpling House is a money-making model. What catering person would not be tempted?
It’s a pity that they won’t join or cooperate, what should I do?
As a result, the same phenomenon as Haidilao occurred. If cooperation cannot be achieved, if the franchise is not accepted, then poaching will be used. This strategy is good, simple and direct, saves money and effort, and is very realistic.
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a big reward, and this sentence is absolutely true. Some cooks, stuffing staff, dumpling workers, foremen, and ministers who couldn't resist the temptation of high salary have changed jobs and left without hesitation.
Of course, those who have left are those who have been employed for less than three years, and none of the veteran employees who have been with the company for more than three years have left. They feel that they are not worth their time.
A "Ah Qiao's Fish" became a hot seller in the market and became a popular "Internet celebrity dish", which brought benefits to the store and skyrocketed in popularity, but also brought disaster.
Blessings come from disasters, misfortunes come from blessings. The wisdom of the ancients is remembered by today's people.
Lao Tan was so angry that he received calls for help from Zhou Xiaomei, Zhang Li and Mulan every day.
In anger, he postponed the opening of the two stores under renovation in Changsha. Wang Shulan also postponed the opening of the fifth store in Beijing. He added the staff preparing for the opening of these three stores to the positions lost in other stores, and then stabilized the situation.
situation.
To be honest, this was just a casual chat afterwards. It sounds easy to say it. In fact, the situation at that time was very serious. It was the biggest employment crisis that Lao Tan had ever encountered in his life. Within a few days, his hair turned completely white - although you couldn’t tell with his bald head, it was indeed white.
.
Time flies to August, and Lao Tan has been staying in Suzhou for two months. Now that the staff is stable and everything is running normally, he is ready to go home and take a look.
Yingzi has been working at Aqiao for half a year. She is smart, studious and hard-working, and her colleagues like her very much.
At first, everyone sympathized with her. It was not easy for a divorced single woman with a child.
Everyone gets to know each other as time goes by, and Yingzi is easy-going, kind to others, and works hard without complaint, so he naturally wins everyone's recognition. Although the sympathy is still there, it is more about friendship.
Yingzi sang beautifully, and in her spare time, she generously took off her mask and sang a few songs, which received rounds of applause from everyone.
In May, she passed a series of assessments on filling fillings, kneading noodles, adding ingredients, rolling out skins, and making dumplings, and officially became a junior dumpling master. Her salary increased to 4,000. This tight life for her finally
They can take a breather, and the mother and daughter can relax and eat and use every month.
In addition, with Lao Tan's relationship, everyone from top to bottom takes great care of her, whether in life or work. It can be said that this is the most beautiful life she has ever lived alone with her children.
There are six people in the pastry room of the central kitchen, five women and one man.
Wang Hong is the leader, Yingzi and the eldest sister Gao Guilan are responsible for mixing the fillings, and the remaining two women are responsible for kneading the noodles. The only male is mainly responsible for physical labor, carrying vegetables and noodles, and packaging and distribution.
The central kitchen pastry room is responsible for the training of dumpling workers, so the four women must be able to make dumplings, roll out the dough, and make dumplings, and they must be good at it, otherwise they will not be able to become masters.
Wang Hong often goes to the store to check, and the eldest sister Gao Guilan is in charge when she is away.
Gao Guilan is fifty-two years old, a laid-off worker, and has worked at Aqiao for five years. She is an optimistic person, has nothing to worry about, and is cheerful all day long. She is also kind to people, not evil-minded, and has a warm heart.
The other two female workers are relatively young and are the wives of the cooks in the store. They are both nice people.
The only man's surname is Zhu, named Zhu Debao. He is forty years old and is Li Shuang's cousin. Before he came to Aqiao, he was working at the market. He is loyal and honest. He doesn't talk much and smiles before he speaks. He only has an acquired left ear.
He is deaf and looks a little dull.
Because he is not good-looking, incompetent and half-deaf, he has always been single.
Wang Hong was not here that day, so Yingzi and Sister Gao were in the stuffing-making room. They finished adjusting all the other stuffings, leaving only the pickled cabbage.
Sister Gao said to Yingzi: "Only the pickled cabbage stuffing is left. Please work harder. My daughter-in-law is coming home today. I will go back early to cook."
Yingzi said: "Then you go quickly, I will finish it in a while."
After Gao Guilan left, Yingzi took the sauerkraut that had controlled water to the stuffing machine and pressed the switch as usual, but the stuffing machine didn't respond at all. She tried it twice more, but it still didn't work.
So I called Zhu Debao over and asked him to see what was going on and whether it was broken.
Zhu Debao pressed the switch and saw that the machine did not respond. He said it was broken, and then called the maintenance man. The maintenance man said that he was repairing the refrigerator in another store and had to come after four o'clock in the afternoon.
Yingzi sighed as he looked at three large pots of sauerkraut weighing more than 200 kilograms. It looked like he needed to chop it up bit by bit with a knife.
"Don't worry, we'll chop it together when I'm done," Zhu Debao said.
