Chapter 89: Work in the 1970s was not easy



There was no one in the store, and He Qiongzhen was standing at the door looking out.

"well!"

When Chen Jiao walked to He Qiongzhen's side, she heard He Qiongzhen sigh.

"Sister He, what's the matter?" Chen Jiao asked.

He Qiongzhen said with a sad face: "Xiao Shen, I thought that with the skills you showed yesterday, our restaurant would have at least two tables of customers today.

Who would have thought that their restaurant said they had some new dishes today, and some people who were supposed to come to our restaurant to eat went to their restaurant instead. ”

Although it is a planned economy now, the staff of these state-owned restaurants are not completely free of pressure.

After all, at the end of the year, when evaluating performance and setting bonuses, it all depends on performance.

He Qiongzhen continued to mutter, "Those people in Store 1 are really stingy, aren't they just having a problem with Old Liu?

Now that Lao Liu no longer works in our store, they are still targeting us. ”

Although He Qiongzhen hopes that the meat in the store will not be sold out, she does not want it to be completely unsold. If she fails to sell it, she will not be able to get an excellent evaluation at the end of the year.

Chen Jiao frowned slightly. No one came to her house, so how could she let people taste her cooking?

Shen Jiao was just worrying when the little fat boy's crisp voice reached her ears, "Godmother, Dongdong wants to eat the food you cook!"

As Shen Jiao looked over in the direction of the voice, a little cannonball rushed over and hugged her thighs.

Chen Jiao quickly squatted down to catch the fat boy Luo Dongdong, and looked at Li Meili at the same time, "Meili, why did you bring Dongdong here?"

Li Meili blinked at Chen Jiao, "Sister Jiaojiao, today is your first day at work, shouldn't we come and support you?

Besides, this brat Dongdong no longer enjoys anything he eats after he ate the food you cooked last time. He keeps clamoring for the food you cook every day. ”

Chen Jiao led Luo Dongdong into the store and gently scratched his nose with her hand. "Dongdong, what do you want to eat today? Godmother will make it for you."

"As long as it's made by godmother, I like to eat it." The little fat boy hugged Chen Jiao's thigh and acted coquettishly.

Chen Jiao rubbed the little fat boy's head, "Okay, then you and your aunt wait here, and godmother will make you something delicious."

After Chen Jiao entered the kitchen, she first brought a bowl of steamed pork intestines to Li Meili and Luo Dongdong, scooped a bowl of intestine soup, and made a bowl of braised pork, which was almost enough for them.

Originally, guests in state-owned restaurants served their own dishes, but now there were only Li Meili and Luo Dongdong's table of guests in the restaurant, so Chen Jiao served them the dishes.

As soon as Shen Jiao put down the dishes, Li Meili immediately pulled her to sit down and asked in a low voice, "Sister Jiaojiao, is there no other customer in your restaurant today except us?"

Chen Jiao was worried about this matter.

Li Meili said mysteriously, "Sister Jiaojiao, you must have heard that the business of your three stores has always been bad. This time the old chef retired, and the management was originally planning to close it directly.

I don’t know what happened later, but they decided to publicly recruit chefs.

But my husband told me last night that although the three stores are still open, the meaning of the higher-ups is that if the business of the three stores is still so bad during the year-end evaluation, they will still have to close. ”

After hearing this, Chen Jiao didn't react at all, He Qiongzhen opened her mouth in shock, "Ah?

Comrade, are you serious about what you said? If our store’s business is not doing well, will the higher-ups really close it down?

If our store closes, where will Xiao Shen and I go to work? ”

There were only Chen Jiao and He Qiongzhen in the store, and Li Meili did not hide it and said, "It's hard to say.

Sister, you know the system. In a store like yours that is closed due to poor performance, you will need to wait until a position becomes vacant before you can rearrange your work. ”

He Qiongzhen was deflated in an instant.

Nowadays, everyone is assigned a specific position. How can it be easy to vacate a position?

Seeing He Qiongzhen like this, Li Meili also sighed and said to Shen Jiao: “Sister Jiaojiao, you have to be mentally prepared. It’s better to make the business of the store better.”

Chen Jiao looked at Li Meili sincerely and thanked her, "Meili, thank you, I will try my best to find a way."

Chen Jiao looked at the deserted store, thought for a while, and called He Qiongzhen, "Sister He, help me bring a table out."

He Qiongzhen helped Shen Jiao carry a table and placed it in front of the store, and asked in confusion: "Xiao Shen, what are you doing?"

Chen Jiao didn't answer, but asked: "Sister He, do we have a loud speaker in our store?"

He Qiongzhen nodded quickly, "Yes, I'll find it for you right away."

Chen Jiao also entered the kitchen, heated the pan, added oil, added seasonings and stir-fried until fragrant, then added kidney and pork liver and stir-fried them. Soon a dish of fragrant kidney and liver stir-fried together was ready.

Chen Jiao went out to get the ticket and paid for the stir-fried pork liver and kidney out of her own pocket, as well as a portion of steamed pork intestines with rice flour and a bowl of rice flour intestine soup.

He Qiongzhen was called for help, and the three bowls of dishes were brought to the table at the entrance of the restaurant.

Then, she took the loud speaker from He Qiongzhen and shouted, "Free tasting, free tasting!

The third state-owned restaurant has hired a new chef and invites all comrades passing by to have a free taste! ”

In addition to several state-owned restaurants, this street also has grocery stores, Friendship Stores, etc. Generally speaking, people who come to this street have a certain purchasing power.

Moreover, at this time, those who have not returned home usually have to eat out.

The word "free" from Chen Jiao's mouth quickly caught people's attention.

Soon, guests who were about to go to other restaurants gathered around and asked, "Comrade, is this really free?"

Chen Jiao smiled and said, "It's really free, but you can only try one piece for free. If you think it tastes good, you can move into the store."

As Chen Jiao spoke, she had already poked a piece of fried liver with a toothpick and handed it to the other person.

The rosy and shiny color and the sour and spicy aroma immediately catch people's sense of smell.

After the other person took it, he put it into his mouth and ate it without saying a word.

The man originally wanted to go to a restaurant to eat, but after tasting it, he immediately called out to the people he was traveling with, "Come on, let's eat at this restaurant. I have never eaten such delicious food in my life."

After the other party came in, he looked at the dishes on the small blackboard and ordered all the dishes served today.

As soon as someone walked in, the store became busy.

Chen Jiao had to busy herself in the kitchen, He Qiongzhen had to collect money and issue receipts, and for a while, no one was at the door to watch the food tasting.

After Li Meili told Dongdong to sit on the table and not move, she stood up and took the initiative to say, "Sister He, go and do your work. I'll help you look after this place."
