Thirty years of reform and opening up, the entire society has developed rapidly, and our people have used their hard work and wisdom to create a new era, which has impressed the entire world.
Some look at the achievements of reform and opening up from the perspective of industrial development, some look at it from the perspective of agriculture, and some look at it from the perspective of the market. No matter from which perspective, society is progressing and our lives are getting better and better.
The common people are inseparable from food, clothing, housing and transportation. They do whatever they want. In the past thirty years of reform and opening up, the development of the catering industry has been huge.
In the 1980s, social catering was booming and gradually developed. At that time, the mainstream was the large hotels and guesthouses opened by the public. The private restaurants were not large in scale and were all mid-range. The larger ones were comparable to the public ones.
It's also a bit worse.
In the 1980s, what the restaurant did was what the guests ate, so money was very easy to make. At that time, all the people who opened restaurants made money, and they became the first batch of people in the catering industry to become wealthy.
Of course, catering at that time was not standardized. The kitchen was operated by a master chef and several apprentices in a small workshop style, staying in the era of one chef making a restaurant popular.
Hotel hygiene is generally very poor. The boss focuses on money and pays little attention to hygiene, working environment, and employee welfare. In an era when social catering is just developing, it is normal for restaurants to be non-standard.
In the 1990s, the catering industry began to become standardized. The market took a dominant position, and the hotel transitioned from the stage where the restaurant does what the customer eats to the stage where the restaurant does what the customer eats. This change shows that people's living standards have improved, and people no longer go to restaurants just to eat.
But eat well.
One word difference makes a world of difference.
Corresponding changes have also taken place in hotels. Restaurants that failed to meet hygiene standards were banned. The era of one master leading several apprentices to dominate the world came to an end, and small-scale win-win cooperation began.
Large restaurants and hotels opened by individuals have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and they have begun to cook southern cuisine and northern cuisine, integrating east and west. The most prominent thing is that Cantonese cuisine has developed rapidly from south to north, and at the same time, its advanced management concepts have been spread to the north, driving the development of Cantonese cuisine.
The development of the catering industry in the north.
In the 21st century, the catering industry has become more standardized and has begun to follow the path of standardization, processization and specialization.
In terms of food, people not only want to eat well, but also eat healthy and green foods, and gradually pay attention to health preservation. The corresponding kitchens began to revolutionize, break the traditional pattern, and develop in the direction of bright food. In the middle and late stages, celebrity chefs started to shine.
era.
Single-product stores formed a chain model, and large chain catering companies began to occupy the market.
Services are also more standardized, focusing on guests' dining experience, various marketing methods are emerging in endlessly, and the Internet has entered catering.
Starting from 2000, the entire catering industry entered a period of change. Hotels no longer developed in a large and comprehensive manner, but began to transform into specialized single-product stores. In other words, single-product stores have become more and more professional and have derived supporting professions.
The equipment, marketing model, and service model are more eye-catching and attract customers.
Since the promulgation of the Health Law, the hygiene in restaurants has become better and better. This is also caused by people's increasing awareness of hygiene. If a restaurant is not clean, customers will not patronize it, forcing restaurants to improve hygiene.
Although the hotel in the park is not busy and does not have many guests, sanitation is done every day. From the exhaust hood above to the sewer below, from the stove to the surrounding walls, from the freezer to the spice jar, it is done once a day, and nothing can be done about it.
.
No matter when you enter the kitchen, it is always clean and tidy. Director Gao lamented that even the office in the factory is not so clean and tidy.
The kitchen is like this, not to mention the front desk, the windows are clean and bright, I can't say it is spotless, the hygiene in Ganqika is definitely first-rate.
Good hygiene is also a kind of marketing for the store itself.
At noon that day, Director Wu led a man and a woman to the hotel. The man and woman also brought many gifts.
Director Wu introduced the man as Zhang Zhigong, the director of the forestry station, and the woman as his sister-in-law. The father-in-law and daughter-in-law that Lao Tan and the others rescued that day were Zhang Zhigong's father-in-law and his sister-in-law.
Zhang Zhigong's father-in-law was in a serious condition at the time. The doctor said that if the helmet had not been taken off in time, he might have died of suffocation. In other words, Lao Tan saved his life.
Sister-in-law Zhang Zhigong's condition was not serious, her calf was broken, and she went directly to an osteopathic hospital for bone correction. Now she is fine.
Director Wu and Zhang Zhigong are both retired soldiers. They have a good relationship and have close contact with each other. They are good buddies. After Zhang Zhigong’s father-in-law was hit, Director Wu went to the hospital to visit him. The old man talked about the rescue efforts of kind-hearted people and how much he had saved his life.
The benefactor was extremely grateful. However, he could not move and asked his son-in-law to go to the hotel to thank him in person.
Director Wu was familiar with the hotel, and along with Lao Tan, he took the initiative to act as a middleman, and after Zhang Zhigong prepared the gift, he led him over.
On behalf of his father-in-law, Zhang Zhigong said many words of gratitude to Lao Tan and the kitchen staff. After he finished speaking, his sister-in-law said that he was sincere and his gratitude was beyond words.
If they hadn't come, Lao Tan and the kitchen staff would have almost forgotten about it. After all, it's been a month. In the first two days, they were still talking about it as a new thing, but once the novelty wore off, no one would mention it. That's how it was.
It passed without anyone mentioning it, and no one took it seriously.
Lao Tan and the kitchen man were polite and accepted the gift.
Seeing that it was dinner time, I didn't ask them to leave. I stayed to have a bite to eat. I called Bart over by the way. They also participated in the rescue and couldn't be left behind.
Zhang Zhigong came here for the first time. After seeing the environment and decoration here, he said: "This place is great. It's just a place to eat. No one disturbs you. It's quiet. It's much better than eating in the street."
It’s too much to bear. Either this person or that person happens to be a familiar person, so it’s not a good idea not to say hello.”
Director Wu said in a loud voice: "Come here, I will arrange it here if I have a reception now. The leaders are happy and no one will bother me. Brother Tan is in charge here. When he comes, look for him. This person is good, affordable, and a good buddy."
Son, there’s nothing to say, you’ll figure it out over time.”
Zhang Zhigong said: "That's necessary. Brother Tan saved my father-in-law's life. I must eat here in the future."
He acted bravely by chance, but he didn't expect to bring a leader to the hotel. Therefore, people must always do good deeds, and good people will be rewarded.
But when doing good deeds, don't worry about good or bad luck.
Wealth sometimes has little to do with money, but it must have a lot to do with blessings. How much blessings you have will lead to how much wealth you have.
Out of gratitude, Zhang Zhigong arranged to host the forestry station here and became friends with Lao Tan.
He is the director of the forestry station, and has a good relationship with the first and second leaders of the water conservancy station, seed station, power bureau, agricultural machinery station and other government functional departments. They always eat and drink together on business and private matters.
As long as he entertained guests, they would be arranged here. As the person in charge of the hotel, Lao Tan gave him enough face. Every time, he would add dishes, toast, and give them at discounts. He also became familiar with the leaders he brought and gradually became friends.
Of course, the price is also heavy - every time I don't get drunk, I never come back.
Although Lao Tan is a heavy drinker, who is his leader? A veteran of the alcohol test, a master who is appetizing at one pound, not drunk at two pounds, and can still sleep with his wife after three pounds. In front of these capable people, he drinks
Most are common.
The leader is also a human being. As long as you get along with him sincerely and without any intentions, he will also be willing to make you a friend. In addition, Lao Tan can say that he is knowledgeable about the past and the present, and he is round and flat, meat and vegetables, black and white.
No matter what, I can say a lot to these people's hearts, and they gradually become regular visitors here.
The leaders think this place is good. It is far away from the bustling city, remote and quiet, the environment is good and high-end, no one disturbs you, and you can have a place to stay if you drink too much. It is convenient and comfortable. It is the best place for private parties and business banquets.
Therefore, like the osteopathic hospital and the forestry station, this place was designated as the meal point of his unit, and most of the receptions were arranged here.
The hotel opened at the end of September. In October, we were at the bottom of the Naadam Conference and we didn’t lose money. We thought we would have to lose money in November, but we didn’t expect to be entertained by these organizations. Not only did we not accompany us, we also made a profit of 5,000. This is something no one expected.
These units ate here and were very satisfied with the environment, service, and dishes. They felt it was much better than the restaurants in the street. In addition, Lao Tan gave them enough face and they were satisfied with everything they could. The invoices were issued in a timely manner. I want to invoice more.
The green light was given all the way without any embarrassment, and they regarded this as their own internal hotel.
As time went by, the leaders got used to eating here, and unknowingly promoted the hotel. People in the street gradually knew that there was a good hotel here, and came to have a taste. There were three tables and two tables every day.
, it seems to be somewhat popular from the outside.
As the old saying goes, the road depends on the people, but no one thought that a hotel on the side of the national highway could still make money, and the people who came to eat were all big shots.
As the end of the year approaches, various units begin to hold year-end summary meetings. Hotel private rooms are booked in advance every day, and the lobby has an attendance rate, which is very prosperous, similar to the days of the Naadam Conference.
Today, the forestry station has reserved four tables, and Director Wu has a table for internal reception, which is arranged in a private room.
At five o'clock in the evening, guests arrived one after another.
After serving the food, Lao Tan first went to the lobby to have a few drinks with Zhang Zhigong, chatted with several leaders of the forestry station, and after being polite, went to the private room on the second floor.
The osteopathic hospital's year-end dinner was held in the first two days, and the results were good this year. The dean, Mr. Hu, arranged for the directors of each department to have a meal as a reward.
I asked Director Wu to arrange this matter, and Director Wu directly booked it at the hotel in the park.
But today we have a special guest - the walking lama.
Speaking of walking lamas, there is a relationship with the dean, Old Hu. Dean Hu’s grandfather was a wandering Mongolian doctor who set bones for herdsmen and was a doctor in Tongliao.
Dean Hu's grandfather once set bones of a herdsman and was caught in a snowstorm on his way back. As he was approaching his home, he saw an old lama lying unconscious at the intersection. The doctor was kind-hearted, so he carried the old lama back home and took good care of him.
The lama saved his life.
The old lama was grateful to Dean Hu for saving his life, and knowing that he was a bone-setter, he stayed for seven days and taught Mr. Hu the secret art of bones. Then he left and continued to travel around the world.
Dean Hu's grandfather acquired the secret skill, made great progress in medical skills, and became a famous osteopathic doctor far and wide.
From that time on, President Hu’s ancestors passed down the ancestral precepts. When you meet a lama, you should treat him with respect and hospitality.
Many things in the world have causes and effects, and there seems to be a destiny. The old lama was saved. After returning to the Guanyin Temple in Huaiyuan Prefecture, he told his disciples about the incident and told them to go to Ganqi when they were on their way.
Kahu is a person with good karma.
Today's lama is the disciple of the old lama. He has been practicing for many years and has become a great virtue. He has become a good friend of Dean Hu.
Today's trip is here, and I caught up with Dean Hu to go to Beijing for a meeting. Director Wu and Dade have known each other for a long time, so they came over together in time for the dinner.
When Director Wu said that there was a great virtuous lama tonight, Lao Tan's first thought was to cook two vegetarian dishes. The lama is also a monk. Unexpectedly, Director Wu said no, this great virtuous man eats meat, but does not drink alcohol.
