Before Lao Tan went to Suzhou, he called together Zhou Xiaomei, Qin Haixiao, the four store managers and the head chef for a meeting. He said that Changsha would only operate these four stores now and suspend expansion. The current focus of work is to cultivate internal skills, master dishes and
Service quality and good reputation.
"We opened four stores in less than two years. We are nothing compared to other large chain stores. We are just a kid. But we don't compare with the speed and quantity of store openings. We just do our own thing.
Although the dumpling market in Changsha has not reached saturation, we will not argue. What we have to do now is to consolidate ourselves and lay a solid foundation.
Let me give you a task. It takes one year to make a standard dish. The requirements are not high. Whoever opens a dumpling restaurant in the future should first come to our house and see if they can surpass it.
This is competition."
After the meeting, Lao Tan left Zhou Xiaomei behind and told her that Changsha District would not arrange a regional manager for the time being and asked her to take care of Liu Yang. He said this with selfish motives. Liu Yang was his little apprentice and he should be directed towards him.
, this is also the consistent performance of the calf protector.
Zhou Xiao understood what he meant and to be honest, she was also optimistic about Liu Yang.
"I will arrange for another store manager." Zhou Xiaomei said.
"Okay. Also, don't stay too long. There will be a cooking competition next month." Lao Tan reminded.
"Don't worry, uncle, everything has been arranged."
"That's good."
Lao Tan later went to the hospital to visit Xiaofeng.
It was his words that introduced Xiaofeng to Ah Qiao. Without his words, Xiaofeng would still be free now, and it is not certain whether he would have developed a hidden disease.
He always feels a little guilty towards Xiaofeng, and sometimes he asks himself, did he do something wrong?
There is no such thing as right or wrong in the world. Common people put it well: You know whether it is good to urinate on a kang or sleep on a sieve.
During this time, he saw that Hao Nansheng was very good to Xiaofeng, and to be honest, he wished them well. This was not because of Hao Nansheng's family background, which had nothing to do with him. He should open a restaurant when he should, and live how he should live.
Nothing.
He simply wished them well. Xiaofeng was an old friend for many years. Who wouldn't want his old friend to be friendly?
But having said that, Hao Nansheng's family background has to be calculated by many people--just like the relationship between an ordinary villager's daughter and the son of the county party committee secretary, there are more question marks.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with Hao Nansheng's behavior and work. He is a loyal person and is beyond reproach. This is what Lao Tan also appreciates. If Hao Nansheng was just a second-generation official with nothing, he would have stopped making friends a long time ago.
When Lao Tan walked into the ward, Xiaofeng had just changed the water on the flowers on the window sill, and happened to look back. The flowers were delivered by the girl from the flower shop yesterday, and she was told that they were ordered by a Mr. Hao.
Lao Tan's eyes shifted from her wet hands to the flowers on the windowsill.
"The flowers are quite beautiful," Lao Tan said.
Xiaofeng turned around to look again and asked, "Are you leaving tomorrow?"
"Well, I'll leave tomorrow and come over to see you."
"It will take a long time this time."
"Almost------I'm going to Suzhou after being discharged from the hospital. The weather is nice, neither hot nor cold."
"Well------I want to go back to the provincial capital to stay for a few days. I feel a little homesick--" Xiaofeng said.
"Eating chicken stand and drinking beer——"
Lao Tan laughed.
Xiaofeng also smiled.
"I won't be able to go to work for a while, so please arrange for someone to go to work," Xiaofeng said.
"It's not enough even if you can go to work. Your task now is to take good care of yourself and take good care of yourself." Lao Tan said.
"Haha, I really like going to work------"
"You are a manager, and you get addicted when you do it. We are the same." Lao Tan said, and then said: "It won't work if you become addicted again. You have to take good care of your body first. In addition, you have to consider Hao Nansheng. I think he is interested in
You are very considerate."
Xiaofeng said in a denying tone: "This is just the two of us talking to each other. There are no outsiders. Do you think it is possible?"
Lao Tan said: "What is impossible? He is not a human being? You think too much."
"It's not that I think too much, it's just the facts - I still think he is doing it for your sake -"
Lao Tan smiled and said: "Sister Feng, my heart is moved after hearing what you said."
"Are you kidding!" Xiaofeng was a little angry.
"Okay, forget me." Lao Tan waved his hand, "I have always regarded Hao Nansheng as a buddy. It has nothing to do with his background. I can see that he is not that kind of person. As for how you get along with him, sister, I suggest
Let nature take its course, don't make too many calculations, no one can stop fate when it comes."
"go--"
"It's time for you to take stock of your own affairs."
"What's the total? It's good to be alive."
"It's not good to be alive, it's very good." Lao Tan walked to the window and looked at the bouquet of flowers, "Just like this flower, only if you cherish it can it be beautiful, bright and romantic."
"It's not sore, my tooth hurts."
“Eating wedding candy doesn’t give you a toothache.”
When Lao Tan came out of the hospital, he happened to run into Han Jun and Bai Jiaqi who came to see Xiaofeng. They came every day after Hao Nansheng went to Guangzhou.
Bai Jiaqi said to Lao Tan: "Uncle Tan, I am going to pack up an apartment for Aunt Feng to live in after she is discharged from the hospital. The conditions are better than where she lives now."
Lao Tan said: "You can discuss it with her. I think it will be too much. She plans to return to the provincial capital after being discharged from the hospital."
"Oh, then she doesn't work here anymore?" Bai Jiaqi was a little worried.
"I'll do it, but I have to wait until my body recovers completely, not now."
The two young men went in, and Lao Tan stood there for a long time looking at their backs------
Lao Tan went to the old restaurant to find Chef Wang again. After he and Qin Haixiao left that day, he wanted to have time to talk to Chef Wang, but he never had time.
Chef Wang is a smart man and spoke before Lao Tan opened his mouth.
"Don't worry, boss. I'm petty-minded, but I know the importance. I was a little bit dissatisfied at first and couldn't think about it, but now I've thought about it. I promise to support the tsunami work."
"That's good." Lao Tan had nothing to say.
"Boss, you have to pay attention to your health. I think you are too tired."
"I'm fine, okay."
"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. The brothers are all very nice and obedient. As long as you are good, everything will be fine."
Chef Wang's words were very true, which moved Lao Tan a little.
Walking back from the old store, we passed by Yellowstone Park and Lao Tan went in for a walk.
The wind in October is neither cold nor hot, with a hint of autumn. The flowers in the flower beds are blooming, very bright, and some are withered, with withered stamens. There are yellow leaves on the trees, and some are falling on the ground.
People wear long-sleeved tops, long trousers, and some even wear windbreakers outside to keep up with the season.
The sky is very high and blue, with a few white clouds floating in the air------
This is a beautiful, harvest season.
Heaven and earth cycle through the four seasons, allowing the spring breeze to turn into rain, summer rain to moisten things, autumn harvests, and winter snow storage.
Life also has four seasons, but there is no reincarnation. We can only rush forward without stopping.
Lao Tan looked into the distance, affected by his mood, and couldn't help but mutter: People, it is important to be young at heart, to be able to drive the carriage of life from spring to autumn at any time, and reap joy and success.
I, Lao Tan, have to continue to sit in the driving position, tense up like Sun Shaoan in the ordinary world, shouting and shouting to move forward.
