In the blink of an eye, it is April, and without people noticing, the willow trees on the roadside have turned green, dots of green appear on the withered yellow land, the wind blows softly on the body, and the sunshine becomes warm.
During this period, Lao Tan went back home and felt very bad about going home. Lin Yan complained that he earned too little and wondered if he had a woman outside. This made him very angry. He originally wanted to have a good relationship with his child.
After playing for a day, doing some housework, and having a delicious meal as a family, I feel like I am no longer in any mood.
As for the husband and wife sharing the same bed, they have not even thought about it. After years of sexless marriage, they have become accustomed and numb. Now it is not natural for the two of them to hold each other's hands. Normally Lin Yan would be tired of hitting his outstretched hand back, and then have a cold face.
Turn around.
Sometimes Lao Tan will ask himself in his heart why all this is happening, but there is no answer. He has great tolerance and understanding for his wife's indifference. After all, his wife has done more than him in treating his family and son.
After staying at home for a day, she took her son to the park and played bumper cars. In the evening, she had dinner with her old neighbor Li Ge and his family. Lin Yan arrived after they had finished eating and asked if she had gone out to eat with her colleagues.
This made Lao Tan very angry.
There is a limit to a person's tolerance, not to mention that he is not a good-tempered person. The reason why he has not lost his temper in recent years is more because of the love between husband and wife.
With a livid face, he told Lin Yan that you had gone too far, and then took advantage of the night to get on the train back to Ganqika.
It was already eleven o'clock in the middle of the night when we arrived at Ganqika. Instead of going back to the hotel directly, we went to the place where Mulan and I had barbecue last time and got very drunk.
Yes, he wanted to get very drunk.
He was running around outside to earn money to support his family, but when he returned home he could not get the tenderness and consideration from his wife, which made him feel a little frustrated.
If you are messing around outside, it doesn't matter if you have a woman. If you receive such treatment, you deserve it, and you admit it. But if you do nothing, but you are treated like this, what is the justice of heaven!
What kind of life was this?
They are a couple in name, but in fact they are no different from being single.
He was resentful in his heart. But even with such resentment, he did not think about divorce.
He has not yet been able to break down the barriers erected by traditional morality, and these barriers have become stronger as time goes by.
It is because of such barriers that he has a strong sense of family and does not dare to indulge.
Many times, in order not to think about these things, he put himself into work day after day, and only when he was working would he forget these unpleasant things.
However, the work must be finished at some point. Even if the work is not finished, you still have to take a break from get off work.
Then use alcohol to anesthetize yourself, forget everything in the giddy enjoyment, and wait for the start of work the next day.
Since the Chinese New Year, the business of Ah Qiao Dumpling House has been between 9,000 and 10,000, which is as good as ever.
At the end of March, eleven months after opening, all costs were recovered and a profit of 60,000 yuan was made.
Yanzi gave Lao Feng all the money he invested, and also gave him the 30,000 yuan he earned, saying it was interest.
Lao Feng collected the investment money. He didn't ask for the 30,000 yuan, and Yanzi didn't take it back either. He just put it in the drawer of the coffee table.
After the Chinese New Year, Lao Feng performed well. This was mainly due to Yanzi not mentioning the opening of a branch. His idea was that Yanzi and Yanhua could just open this one store, which would provide enough food and food, and there was no need to make such a big fuss.
Also, I am fifty-six after the New Year, and Yan Zi is only forty-two, so it is a good time. I am worried that if Yan Zi expands the restaurant, he will be dumped by the many people he knows.
I've always had this idea.
Now that Yanzi doesn't mention opening a branch, and Lao Tan doesn't work here anymore, he feels at ease.
That's what he thought, but Yanzi never gave up the idea of opening a branch.
She talked to Li Wanshan privately, and Li Wanshan advised her not to worry. Lao Feng is quite stubborn, and it is difficult to change things he has set his sights on. She also analyzed with Yanzi what Lao Feng is thinking now, mainly because he is petty, and he is afraid that Yanzi will not follow him when the time comes.
He passed.
Yanzi felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched. She thought that Lao Feng didn't trust her. But she didn't say it directly because she didn't have the money to open a branch now, so she could only do this first. At the same time, she made up her mind that Lao Feng would agree to it in the future.
I don’t need his money—if I don’t have enough, I would rather borrow it.
This is the real situation of two people working together. It is difficult to establish complete trust between them. They are different from half-way couples. Half-way couples at least have a marriage contract and have a guarantee and support in their hearts.
After recovering the cost, Yanhua didn't mention opening a branch to Yanzi. She was worried that Yanzi and Lao Feng would break up because of this matter, and they wouldn't even be friends by then.
In addition, after one year of operation, I have learned a lot about the hotel, and I understand why Lao Tan said that it would be stable for one year before opening a branch.
Yes, it does have to be stable.
If Lao Tan was still here, she wouldn't have to think about these things. Now that Lao Tan is gone, she tries hard to put herself into Lao Tan's role and think as an operator. Opening a branch is right and makes money, but on the basics
It's absolutely impossible to drive without the correct adjustment. If the adjustment is not good, you will have to pay money.
Only good products and services will not work without good management and models.
Now the management of the dumpling restaurant needs to be further improved. The model has just taken shape and is still in the growth stage. It is expected to be profitable, but it still needs time to be replicated.
All this will take time, at least ten months.
Also, the success of a dumpling restaurant in Santaizi does not mean that it will be successful in other places. Dumplings are delicious and everyone likes them, but there are also regional differences. The current model works well in Santaizi, but it may not work in Tiexi. It cannot be done at all.
The second store is also opened in Santaizi.
The main problem is management. I can't manage it myself. I haven't reached the level where I can manage several stores. It's still difficult to manage one store.
Now the store is full of people left by Lao Tan. They don't care about Lao Tan's face and do a good job without having to worry about it. If they are all recruited, I guess I can't control it. If I don't manage it well, I will be punished by the employees.
Lead the way by the nose.
Without management, there is no efficiency.
Mr. Lao Tan emphasized this matter and told himself that it was just that he did not participate in actual management at that time, so he did not care about it. After Lao Tan left, he handled many things by himself and gradually realized the importance of management, so he was not involved in management.
You can't easily open a branch before forming a system, and it would be a dead end if you opened one.
There is also the issue of partners.
Through training and learning, she felt that there should be an agreement, or a contract, between partners. Write down some rules, sign it if both parties agree, and then cooperate. If they don't agree, don't cooperate.
There is a certificate written in black and white on paper. When the time comes, you say that there is no written evidence to prove it. This will save you the trouble like now.
These changes that happened to Yanhua are a kind of progress and the beginning of the transformation of a housewife into a career-oriented woman. Although this transformation is very slow and requires a process.
Yanhua got her driver's license last month, and she and Lao Deng discussed buying a second-hand Jinbei Bread. Firstly, it was used to practice, and secondly, it was convenient for daily shopping. Besides, it didn't cost much.
On Monday, just after lunch, Yanhua saw that there was not much work to do, and was going to go home to rest. Not long after arriving home, Yanzi came with a box of packaged dumplings, two side dishes, and a pig's trotters, and said
I'm upset and want to drink something.
"What's going on? Are you angry with Lao Feng?" Yanhua asked, thinking that they must be confused.
"No, I'm just upset and want to drink." Yanzi said.
Seeing that she didn't talk about Yanhua and didn't continue to ask, she knew that Yanzi couldn't hide things in her heart and she would be able to tell them after a while while they drank together.
After drinking a bottle of beer, Yanzi said, "I've had enough with Lao Feng."
Yanhua glanced at her, smiled helplessly, and said, "What's the reason this time?"
"It's all for no reason. Didn't I tell Li Wanshan about opening a branch? Li Wanshan said don't worry, you have to wait for Lao Feng to turn the corner. If he can't turn the corner, it won't be easy. He and Lao Feng were together last night
After drinking, I told Old Feng, but Old Feng was not happy. When I got home, he asked me why I told Li Wanshan about this. Isn’t it embarrassing?”
"I got angry as soon as I heard that. How can I get used to his problem? Besides, what's so embarrassing about this? It's OK, but it's OK to pull him down, why should I be angry? I've already said it, but it's not OK anymore. I haven't finished speaking to him yet.
He just grabbed his neck and yelled at me, which made me so angry. Seeing that he didn't bother to pay attention to me, he went to his mother's guest room to sleep all night."
After Yanzi finished speaking, he took a sip of wine.
"How are you two going to deal with it------" Yanhua sighed.
"Let me tell you Yanhua, it's the money he got when he opened the dumpling restaurant. What I can't say now is a little unreasonable. Besides, I, Yanzi, are not that kind of person. I can't burn bridges by crossing rivers. Otherwise, he would have left long ago. Who can live with him like that?
Let's go together." Yanzi complained.
Yanhua put a dumpling into her mouth and ate it slowly, then smiled and said to Yanzi: "Your old Feng is so narrow-minded. He thinks it's embarrassing for you to tell Li Wanshan that he doesn't agree to open a branch. You are the same, so tell me
What did Li Wanshan say? He is an old buddy and I promise to think about Lao Feng."
Yanzi said: "What I said is all business------"
"Hey, each person has his own idea. To you, this is business, but to others, it may not be. Let me tell you that Lao Feng is fifty-six years old, and what he thinks is different from what you think.
What you want is to open a restaurant and do business, but what he wants is to find a companion to live with. Is it the same? In addition, let me tell you, a man is just a child. He looks like he is showing off his power outside, but when he gets home, he just wants his wife to treat him like a child.
I'm used to it. I haven't heard people say that when a man is active outside, he becomes an invertebrate when he comes home and cannot take care of himself."
Yanzi was amused by Yanhua's words.
"Don't always think about making people listen to you when you are with others. What I said is right. Look at that child. The more you don't let him do it, he will do whatever you want. The same is true for men. Tell you, I won't let him do it.
Deng is looking for a woman outside, and he's looking for one too--" Yanhua stopped at this point, wondering why she was still talking about this matter, and felt very defeated for her example.
This attracted Yanzi's attention to her, and asked curiously: "By the way, I've always wanted to ask you how you forgave Lao Deng? If I promise not to forgive, I will divorce you immediately."
Yanhua said: "What are the benefits of divorce? After all these years--I can't say whether I forgive or not. It's quite pitiful to see him cooking and eating alone---hey, it's just boring."
"
"I can't do this for you." Yanzi said.
"We have different personalities. Let me tell you, I have now realized a truth. Restaurants need to be managed to make money, and families need to be managed to live well. Everything requires investment, otherwise it will not run well." Yanhua said something very interesting.
Philosophical words.
Yanzi took Yanhua's words into consideration and thought they made sense, so he said, "According to your wishes, I will listen to Lao Feng and not open a branch."
"Hey, where did you want to go? You have to separate the restaurant and home. Follow me, I rarely talk to Lao Deng about the restaurant. Didn't you know that I came back to cook at four o'clock recently? Lao Deng is willing to eat home food.
I will cook it for him and let him eat it warmly, so as not to let him feel that he will not be ignored now that the restaurant is opened." Yanhua said.
"That's because you are patient."
"Why, you don't need a husband to open a restaurant?"
"Isn't it mainly because I didn't get the certificate with Lao Feng?"
"Haha, it depends on how the two of you get along. If you always think about this, then Old Feng will have to think about it too, you know."
