"Boss, why did you go to Hohhot?" Li Shuang asked curiously.
Lao Tan briefly explained to everyone why he went to Hohhot.
"What? Yang Zhijun went to Hohhot? I haven't seen this guy for two years." Li Shuang said, and then asked: "Is he still single? Not married?"
"Nothing." Lao Tan said.
When they were in Binhai, Yang Zhijun and Li Shuang were enemies. Unless they didn't meet, they would fight each other. But they had a good relationship, so they always went out to drink secretly.
Lao Tan asked about the situation in the store, and Li Shuang and Hua Qing made reports.
The dumpling restaurant is on the right track, with stable production, stable customer base, good reputation, and everything is going smoothly.
Li Shuang and her husband Xiao Gao both work here. They are now as loving as a newly married couple.
Only after experiencing it can people understand what cherishment is, what a couple is, what a home is, and what life is. We can do whatever we want, or we can ignore everything, but before we do it, we must think about whether it is worth it.
When people do not truly understand the meaning of life and the importance of family, everything they do is a sign of immaturity. Only after they understand it will they cherish it more and understand themselves.
We all continue to grow through experience after experience, and only then can we live like a human being after we understand how valuable it is.
Wang Hong and Fang Jianjun were doing well and had already rented a house to live alone. Seeing that Old Tan Wang Hong was still the same as before, Fang Jianjun was a little embarrassed and blushed.
After learning about the situation of the two of them, Lao Tan was very happy and asked Wang Hong not to bully Fang Jianjun.
"Bullying him? He still bullies me. I have to be honest when I glare at him." Wang Hong glanced at Fang Jianjun and said domineeringly.
Fang Jianjun was also honest, smiling quietly and with a happy expression on his face.
Love really does not distinguish between national boundaries and age, and it is not exclusive to young people. It can be enjoyed by middle-aged people, and it is real.
People can't live without love, it can make people full of passion, make the dead come alive, and make the living more brilliant.
It is mysterious and sacred at all times, and with the fragrance of flowers and the intoxication of fine wine, it makes people excited, novel, and full of love for life.
Without love, life would be bleak, and nothing that exists would find value.
Lao Tan chatted with everyone for a while, then arrived at the meal and began to serve the guests.
Yanhua called Lao Tan to the small private room, and soon Yanzi came over.
Yan Zi has been in poor health for the past two days. He went to the hospital for a check-up and was told that it was a gynecological disease and he was taking medicine. He looked listless and weak.
It was a coincidence that Lao Feng, Li Wanshan and the people from the village went to Qingdao for a trip and returned in more than ten days. In the past few days, Yanzi was at home by himself, and there was no one around to wait on him. All meals were brought to him by waiters.
Yanhua went to see her yesterday and found that she was a little better, so she called her today to tell her that Lao Tan was here, otherwise she wouldn't have told her.
Not long after the three of them sat down, the waiter brought out two plates of vegetables and two portions of dumplings, plus two bottles of health wine.
Yanzi couldn't sit still due to his poor health. He felt uncomfortable after sitting for a while, so he ate a few dumplings and then went back.
"She looks very serious like this." Lao Tan said.
"It's nothing. It's just inflammation. A few days of intravenous injection will be enough. The main reason is that her kidneys are not good and her waist hurts. She gets sick all the time, and no one can bear it," Yanhua said.
"What's wrong with the kidney?" Lao Tan asked.
"She has nephritis and still has stones. The pain from the stones can kill her. It's not serious for her, otherwise she won't be able to get up." Yanhua said.
"Then it needs to be cured. Is Lao Feng going to travel like this?" Lao Tan was a little angry.
Yanhua explained: "She wasn't sick when Lao Feng left. Like a good person, she started to get sick the day after Lao Feng left, and she didn't tell Lao Feng. She got better in the past two days, and Lao Feng also recovered after two days.
came back."
"Oh." Lao Tan nodded.
Yanhua picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, we haven't drank for a long time, let's have a good drink today."
When Yanhua first appeared in front of us, she was a standard housewife. She washed and cooked at home every day, took care of the housework, and served her husband. At that time, she was bored and looked for a job just to kill time, not to earn much.
Money, just to find something to do for myself.
After opening the restaurant for more than a year, the appearance of Yanhua who appears in front of us has not changed much. She is still the gentle and kind-hearted woman before. But if you look closely, you can see that she is different. Her face is full of confidence, and she has become a bit like a boss.
appearance.
This is also normal.
After Lao Tan left, she took care of most of the hotel. She was responsible for buying goods, collecting accounts, communicating with the front and back chefs, paying wages to employees, paying water and electricity bills, communicating with wine merchants, etc. She didn't know why.
I feel trained to become a qualified boss.
Yanzi also manages the hotel, but relatively less. This is not to say that she doesn't care, it's just because of her personality that she doesn't pay much attention to some details, or she is a careless person.
Yanhua never cares about whether you have more or less than Yanzi, which is also due to her character. Yanzi is more arrogant, but she is calm; Yanzi is passionate for three minutes, but she perseveres.
She was the first to arrive at the store every day and was busy all day long. This busy life made her feel more fulfilled than ever before. She seemed to have found the direction and goal of life, and she also understood the value of life while being busy.
Yes, the value of life.
This was something she had never even thought about before, but she suddenly felt it, and it was very strong.
People's growth sometimes has little to do with the education they receive. When a person realizes that he cannot live in vain, he will involuntarily make himself stronger and have full confidence and hope in life. Often this is when a person truly matures.

Now Yanhua and Lao Tan are chatting freely, laughing happily from time to time. This did not happen before. In the past, it was just Lao Tan saying that she listened, occasionally nodded in approval, and then smiled.
Although she doesn't talk eloquently now, she is by no means lacking in language. When she talks about restaurants, she has her own opinions and thoughts. She can even debate with Old Tan, which surprises and surprises him.
The two chatted happily and drank wine happily. This was their happiest exchange.
On the third day after Lao Tan came back, Mr. Xu from Guandong Family made an appointment with him in his office.
Knowing why Mr. Xu was looking for him, Lao Tan planned this. Now he is in charge of three dumpling restaurants, Sister Yuan Restaurant, and Zhang Yu Restaurant. He has an income of 4,000 yuan a month, which is enough for basic living needs.
These three stores are run by our own people, so you don’t have to worry too much. The only inconvenience is that the three stores are too scattered, one is in a provincial capital, one is in Ganqika, and one is in Hohhot. The front line is too long.
At the same time, I know that I have not yet reached the level of those management gurus and celebrities in the culinary world. I can make a living by relying on my reputation. But if I want to make more money, I can only take the management path. It will be harder at the beginning, but it will be fine after I become famous in management.
If you do it, there will be many people looking for you.
For example, Lao Si is now the production director of a well-known catering group in the provincial capital, and is also the head chef of an old store. In addition to the head chef's salary, there are also management fees for other stores. The income is not cheap. In one month, it is more than the opening
Small restaurants make money.
Compared with Lao Si, Lao Tan does not have the support of a catering group and can only develop on its own.
It’s hard work, just because of love and reality.
After three years of development, Guandong Restaurant has now opened up in the provincial capital. It is a relatively famous farmhouse with broad prospects. As long as any restaurant can persist, it is almost considered a success if it survives for more than three years, and it has also won the trust of the people.
Recognition.
This is what the people of Guandong are like.
If you don’t take into account the unpleasantness of the first cooperation, in Lao Tan’s eyes, this is a relatively good company with value for cooperation.
Of course, being able to come and talk to Mr. Xu was also moved by Mr. Xu’s sincerity, and Zhang Li also took credit for making peace with him.
Mr. Xu first said frankly and honestly: "I won't talk about the past. I made a mistake in judgment, took a detour, and made people laugh. I sincerely hope you can come back and we can cooperate again."
Yes, the past is in the past. Don’t just let go of grudges with a smile. We are all children of the world, so there is no need to worry too much.
"If I remember the past, I won't come." Lao Tan smiled brightly, and then said seriously: "Before we cooperate, I have something to tell you in advance. I am now responsible for three hotels. You can't do anything about that when you come to our house.
The three families were left alone."
Mr. Xu didn't know about Lao Tan's management of three restaurants. Hearing what Lao Tan said, he couldn't help but think about it. Because it meant that Lao Tan couldn't devote all his time to the management of his own store and also take time to manage the other three stores.
Lao Tan didn't bother Mr. Xu. Anyone should consider this matter.
After a while, Mr. Xu asked: "How many days do you have to go to those three stores every month?"
Lao Tan said: "It's pretty much the same. If you have something to do, you don't have to go. Now the three stores are running very well. If it's not a big deal, it can be solved by phone."
"That's okay. I can accept and understand this." Mr. Xu thought for a moment and said.
Lao Tan said politely: "Thank you."
Mr. Xu smiled sheepishly and said, "You're welcome, there's nothing wrong with making more money."
"Should I take care of the kitchen when I come back?" Lao Tan asked.
"Well, I am mainly in charge of the kitchen. I am the executive chef. Wang Gang is also the head chef. But this time, Master Tan, you have to take care of the front desk as well. Zhang Li and you are old partners. You two will have no problem cooperating." Mr. Xu
explain.
"Okay." Tan agreed, and then asked: "Mr. Xu, let's discuss, how much do you plan to sell our house for each month?"
"Of course, the more, the better." Mr. Xu said and smiled, "Two million a month is enough, and twenty-four million a year."
Lao Tan calculated in his mind that he had prepared retail sales and reserved banquets. Two million a month would be no problem, but it would take three months. So he said: "In this case, Mr. Xu, the first three months will not be counted. I will do it."
After laying down the basic work, starting from the fourth month and lasting one year, I will give you 24 million."
Mr. Xu looked at Lao Tan in shock. Lao Tan gave him a confident smile and said, "Tell me, how much is my salary?"
"Eight thousand, how about eight thousand?" Mr. Xu said quickly.
"Then eight thousand, as long as you think it's appropriate. Let's talk about ugly things first, villains first, and gentlemen later. After I take over, I hope no one will interfere with my management. Even if I make a mistake, I will bear the consequences. No one is allowed to say anything.
Tao 4. Also, the policies we have discussed must be implemented thoroughly and don’t give up halfway.
I want to have the right to increase wages and benefits for employees. We must spend the money we should spend on team building and employee benefits, and we can't be petty.
I am in charge of all management areas, including the front desk. I have to spend two thousand yuan on learning expenses every month. I decide how to study. At the same time, I will assess the management staff and replace those who are qualified and those who are not. In other words, I
You must have the power of life and death, otherwise you will not be able to manage it.”
Lao Tan bluntly stated his request.
After hearing this, Mr. Xu laughed and said to Lao Tan: "Master Tan, if this was the first time we met, I promise not to agree. Now that I have grown up, only those who concentrate on their work will make these requests. I agree.
