"Well, I'll go again tomorrow. We still haven't hired a chef and a waiter." There's no way around it. It will definitely be harder at the beginning, but it will be better once things are on track.
After washing up, Su Tao lay down on the bed early, thinking that He Chuan should still be on the train and should arrive in Yun County tomorrow. As he thought about it, he slowly fell asleep.
The next day, Su Tao came to the shop early again, and more people came for interviews, but none of them met Su Tao's requirements.
That morning, health officials inspected the shop's hygiene practices, took notes and photos, and told Su Tao to return to the bureau in two days for consultation and a final decision. If the results failed, he would need to make corrections; if they passed, he could apply for a health permit on the spot.
In the afternoon, Su Tao interviewed several more chefs and waiters.
Su Tao looked at the final list of names in his hand: Chefs: Chen Gu, Lin Jie, Dishwasher: Wang Juan, Waiters: Zhao Qiaoyun, Xu Lele.
Chef Chen Gu had already been confirmed, and Lin Jie was a later interviewer, choosing a barely suitable candidate from a short selection of taller ones. Su Tao had originally planned to hire only one waiter, but considering the cashier position, he decided to hire an extra. After all, there was a one-month probation period, so if he wasn't a good fit, he could be fired or replaced.
All the staff were recruited. Su Tao wrote out the enrollment list, the gathering time at the store tomorrow, and the identification documents that needed to be brought, and posted them at the door of the store.
Su Tao had a week left to register for school, and he planned to conduct a training session for new employees over the next few days. Three days before the start of the semester, he planned to hold a promotional event nearby, followed by a three-day trial run before officially opening on the first day of the semester.
-------------------------------------
At this time, Hechuan had just got off the train. Hechuan did not go directly to the county transport team, but went to the bus station to take a bus back to the town to find Jiang Dashi.
Jiang Dashi had been back to his old ways for the past two weeks, reselling grain. He had just returned from the black market when he saw a tall figure standing at his door. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "It's you! Brother Chuan, why are you back?"
He Chuan smiled and looked at Jiang Dashi and said, "Didn't I say I'd come find you once I'm settled?"
Jiang Dashi was delighted. There had been no news from He Chuan during this period, and he had been worried. He and Hu Xiao knew from the letters that He Chuan had been busy with his wedding and might not have time.
"Why did you come back specially? You could have just written to tell me." Jiang Dashi patted He Chuan's shoulder, opened the door to let He Chuan in, and then poured a glass of water for He Chuan.
"I came back this time to do something. There may be changes after we discuss it." He Chuan took a sip of water and said calmly.
After hearing what He Chuan said, Jiang Dashi felt a little uneasy. Could it be that Brother Chuan was going to tell him that he didn't plan to do it anymore?
Jiang Dashi asked in a trembling voice, "Brother, you don't want to do it anymore, do you?"
He Chuan looked at Jiang Dashi, who was barely daring to breathe, and said jokingly, "What are you thinking about? Why would I come back to see you if I quit?"
Jiang Dashi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and patted his chest and said, "Brother, could you please tell me the whole story next time? You scared me to death. So what do you mean by '㱕变㪸'?"
"I want to open a transportation company?" He Chuan said.
