Chapter 103: Expanding the Braised Meat Shop

Time flies like a white horse passing by, and in a blink of an eye, the expanded braised meat shop was renovated under Jiang Ruoxi's careful management. The brand new store has a brand new look, with a bright sign hanging high, exuding vigor and vitality. The store's decoration style is simple yet warm, with spacious space, neat tables and chairs, and the aroma of braised meat filling the air, which makes people involuntarily look forward to it.

Father Lu and Father Jiang played an important role in the process of preparing staff for the new store. They were well aware of Jiang Ruoxi's thoughts and needs, and also understood that this was a rare opportunity for veterans.

So the two of them worked tirelessly and ran around, and eventually found a total of 15 veterans. Mr. Lu and Mr. Jiang wholeheartedly support Jiang Ruoxi's decision to hire veterans as employees.

They have been in high positions in the army for a long time and are very familiar with the situation in the army. There are many soldiers who were forced to retire due to injuries. After returning to their hometowns, they find it difficult to find an ideal job due to physical reasons and lack of suitable employment skills. They have no choice but to return to the countryside and make a living by farming.

Although they have retirement benefits as a living security, the army has limited funds and cannot provide them with long-term and comprehensive follow-up treatment. Therefore, how to properly place soldiers who have just retired has always been a difficult problem that the military has been deeply troubled by.

Although Jiang Ruoxi's move cannot fundamentally solve the employment problems of all veterans, it has actually provided a place for a small number of veterans to settle down, allowing them to start a new chapter in their lives with their own hands.

When the troops learned about this, they were filled with gratitude towards Jiang Ruoxi. This seemingly small act of kindness actually contains great power. It warms the hearts of these veterans and also relieves the pressure on the troops to a certain extent.

Jiang Ruoxi didn't know that her good deed would have a huge impact on her in the future. As the braised meat shop continued to grow and develop, she began to gradually expand the scale of her business and get involved in more fields.

During this process, the troops always silently provided her with firm protection and support behind the scenes. As long as she sticks to her principles and does not violate the law and moral bottom line, the army will provide her with various conveniences and assistance within the scope permitted by policy. Whether it is ensuring the safety of food supply or dealing with various business risks, the support of the troops has become her solid backing.

The opening day of the new store was very lively. Father Lu and Father Jiang brought the 15 veterans to the store early to help with the final preparations.

Jiang Ruoxi stood at the door of the store, watching people coming and going, feeling filled with emotion. She knows very well that her dream is becoming a reality step by step, and all this is inseparable from the support of her family, the help of her friends, and the trust of these veterans.

At the opening ceremony, Jiang Ruoxi delivered a brief and sincere speech. She thanked everyone who helped her and expressed her beautiful expectations for the future. Afterwards, she personally presented work badges to the 15 veterans and welcomed them into this big family. These veterans, each with an upright posture and determined eyes, know very well how hard it is to get this job, and are determined to rediscover their own value here.

As time went by, the braised meat shop business became more and more prosperous. The 15 veterans worked diligently in their respective positions. They brought the discipline and sense of responsibility from the army to their work and won unanimous praise from customers.

Jiang Ruoxi is not satisfied with the status quo. She constantly innovates dishes, optimizes services, and actively expands online business, making the braised meat shop more and more well-known.

When the braised meat shop was steadily on the right track under Jiang Ruoxi's careful management and all affairs were carried out in an orderly manner, she began to make more detailed and reasonable arrangements for the division of labor among the staff in the store.

After careful consideration, Jiang Ruoxi finally appointed Zhang Bin as the kitchen manager. Since coming to the braised meat shop, Zhang Bin has been studying and improving the techniques of braising meat and dishes. He has extremely rich experience and is familiar with the production processes of various braised meats and dishes. He led two skilled helpers and was busy in the kitchen all day. From selecting the freshest ingredients in the early morning, to strictly controlling the proportion of each pot of braising liquid, to accurately mastering the heat and time of braised meat and dishes, Zhang Bin does everything himself, taking care of every detail. His hands were busy in the kitchen filled with smoke, and they seemed to have magical powers. The braised meat and dishes made by him were bright red in color, fragrant in aroma, and mellow in taste. Every bite would make customers rave about it. It has become the signature delicacy of the braised meat shop and has firmly captured the stomachs of diners.

Zhao Qiang took on the important responsibility and led three colleagues to work in the back area of ​​the kitchen. When cutting the braised meat, he held a sharp blade with precision and neatness. Slices of braised meat with even thickness and clear texture were produced under his knife, and each slice was full of the rich aroma of the braised meat. He is even more devoted when making special meals. When cooking braised pork noodles, he has a precise control of the heat and cooking time. The chewy noodles roll in the fresh and fragrant braised sauce, and are paired with tender braised meat and refreshing side dishes, exuding fragrance. When making braised pork rice, he perfectly combines the plump rice with the carefully fried braised pork sauce, and then garnishes it with fresh seasonal vegetables, which greatly increases people's appetite. When cooking pork trotter rice, he braises the pork trotter until it is soft and melts in the mouth, fat but not greasy, and the rich meat aroma lingers on the tip of the tongue. When making braised pork sandwiches, he sandwiches the chopped braised meat between the crispy steamed bun skin and then pours a spoonful of boiling hot marinade on it. The aroma of the steamed bun and the meat are intertwined, making people salivate.

Wang Dong is cheerful, eloquent and a natural salesman. He took an assistant with him and ran around the streets and alleys of the city all day, actively expanding sales channels outside the store. They took the initiative to contact various factory canteens and patiently introduced the braised meat shop's special dishes and high-quality ingredients to them. With their excellent communication skills and professional service attitude, they successfully reached cooperation with many factory canteens and won a large number of orders for the braised meat shop.

In addition, Wang Dong also actively developed the braised pork rice delivery business, carefully designed the delivery packages, and optimized the delivery process to ensure that each delivery of braised pork rice can be delivered to customers in the shortest time and with the best taste, allowing those busy office workers and students to taste the deliciousness of the braised pork shop even if they do not leave their homes.

Relying on his rich experience in dine-in sales, Song Yu took on the important task of leading four people to be in charge of dine-in sales. He is well aware of the importance of customer experience. He always warmly greets every customer who enters the store, patiently introduces dishes to them, and provides thoughtful suggestions based on the customer's taste preferences.

During the peak dining hours in the store, Song Yu and his team are extremely busy. They shuttle between the tables, refilling water for customers and clearing tables in a timely manner, ensuring that the environment in the store is clean and comfortable so that every customer can enjoy delicious food in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Their high-quality service has won recognition and praise from many customers, making the dine-in business of the braised meat shop increasingly popular and attracting a steady stream of repeat customers.

Later, as more and more customers came, Jiang Ruoxi came to the store one day. Seeing that Song Yu and his colleagues were too busy, they hired three older sisters to specialize in cleaning the table. This greatly relieved the pressure on Song Yu and their colleagues.

Wei Jun led the remaining five people and was responsible for delivering goods to the factories, mines or units that Wang Dong had agreed to. They come to the store early every day, neatly load the packaged braised meat, braised dishes and various meals onto the delivery vehicles, and then deliver the goods to various destinations in an orderly manner according to the delivery routes.

Weijun is well aware of the importance of delivery work, not only to ensure that the goods are delivered on time, but also to ensure that the goods are intact. During the delivery process, he always pays attention to the driving condition of the vehicle and the safety of the goods. When encountering emergencies, he can always respond calmly and solve problems in a timely manner to ensure that every delivery task can be completed smoothly.

With the clarification of division of labor and the increasing tacit teamwork, the braised meat shop's business is becoming more and more prosperous. Jiang Ruoxi looked at the busy and orderly scene in the store, feeling filled with a sense of accomplishment.

However, she was not satisfied with this, but began to think about how to further enhance the brand influence and market competitiveness of the braised meat shop. She decided to organize regular employee training to improve everyone's professional skills and service level; at the same time, she increased investment in food research and development, and continuously introduced new special dishes to meet the taste needs of different customers.

In addition, Jiang Ruoxi also plans to launch online marketing activities, using emerging social media platforms to promote the braised meat shop's special dishes and promotions to attract more potential customers. Under the leadership of Jiang Ruoxi, the braised meat shop is moving steadily towards a brighter future.

By chance, Jiang Ruoxi met an entrepreneur in the food processing industry. After some in-depth communication, the two found that their business philosophies were very compatible, so they decided to cooperate and jointly build a complete food industry chain. During this process, the troops once again extended a helping hand and received strong support from the troops and local governments, providing them with relevant policy guidance and resource support, which enabled the cooperation project to proceed smoothly. This is a story for later.

Jiang Ruoxi's career is booming, and she has not forgotten to give back to society. She regularly organizes employees to carry out charity activities, donates supplies to children in poor areas, and brings warmth to the elderly and widowed.

She used her actions to interpret what responsibility and commitment mean, and became a local legend. The special friendship between her and the army has grown deeper over the years and has become one of the most precious treasures in her life.

Whenever Lu Tingxiao went home on vacation and stepped into the braised meat shop filled with the smell of fireworks, he would feel a surge of emotion in his heart as he watched Jiang Ruoxi busying herself with strategies and running her business successfully.

From the humble little shop at the beginning to the current large-scale braised meat shop with clear division of labor and prosperous business, every step was condensed with Jiang Ruoxi's wisdom and sweat. This tenacity and courage made Lu Tingxiao feel sincerely proud and proud. He knew very well that he had married such an amazing woman.

Whenever he had free time, Lu Tingxiao would rush into the store to help greet customers, clean up tables, or assist Zhao Qiang and his team in the kitchen. His tall figure moved around the store, and although he was dressed in casual clothes, he still couldn't hide his military efficiency and neatness. His serious look attracted many customers' attention. Some people whispered, "You can tell he was a soldier. He is so energetic even when helping out!"

Lu Tingxiao often brought his comrades along. As soon as the comrades stepped into the braised meat shop, they were attracted by the lively atmosphere and fragrant aroma.

When they learned that this store was run by Lu Tingxiao's wife and that it also provided employment opportunities for veterans and helped solve the resettlement problems of the troops, their eyes were filled with amazement and admiration.

One of his comrades patted Lu Tingxiao on the shoulder and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Old Lu, you are so lucky! You married such a courageous sister-in-law who cares about her country and her career. She has done such a great job and has such a strong sense of social responsibility. We are all so envious!"

Another comrade echoed: "That's right, with sister-in-law's vision and ability, it's no wonder she runs the store so well. If we had a partner like sister-in-law, our business would definitely take off!"

Facing the praise from his comrades, Lu Tingxiao's face was filled with a happy smile, his eyes full of love and pride, and he said, "Yes, the luckiest thing in my life is marrying her. She is not only my wife, but also a role model in my heart and my children's heart!" Jiang Ruoxi's cheeks flushed slightly when she heard their conversation. She smiled and asked everyone to sit down, and enthusiastically served them the restaurant's signature dishes.

In the lively atmosphere, the comrades tasted the delicious braised pork rice and braised pork noodles while listening to Jiang Ruoxi share the interesting stories and experiences of running a braised pork shop. Jiang Ruoxi's confidence and composure in her conversation made her comrades admire her even more.

They all said that if they had the opportunity when they returned to their hometowns, they would make a name for themselves through their own efforts, just like Jiang Ruoxi.

After eating and drinking, the comrades were still reluctant to leave. They sat together and talked about their future plans. Some comrades said that inspired by Jiang Ruoxi, they also wanted to start their own business after retiring and contribute their own strength to society; others said that no matter when and where, they would stick to the true qualities of a soldier and shine in their respective fields like Lu Tingxiao and Jiang Ruoxi.

Lu Tingxiao looked at the scene in front of him, his heart filled with warmth and emotion. He knew that Jiang Ruoxi's influence was not limited to this braised meat shop. Her spirit and ideas were inspiring everyone around her, including him and his comrades. And he will continue to support Jiang Ruoxi and work hand in hand with her to create a better future together.
