Chapter 366 Jiang Da's Identity, Junior Apprentice Visits (Update 1)
After signing the contract with Jiang Guohui to rent the storefront, the matter of opening a branch was officially put on the agenda.
The first thing is decoration.
Jiang Da didn't have time to do it himself, so he contracted it out to an old friend who worked in engineering.
The other party brought more than a dozen workers with them and signed a formal decoration contract in advance with every clause clearly listed.
Jiang Da: "We've been friends for so many years, and I still don't trust you?"
"Friends are friends, but work matters cannot be neglected. This way, you can rest assured, and I can rest assured too."
Jiang Fuyue later reviewed the contract, which not only set requirements for the quality of the renovation, but also strictly controlled the construction period. The responsibilities and obligations of both parties were clearly and reasonably divided.
“It’s quite reliable.”
Jiang Da puffed out his chest and said, "Of course! Could the person your father found be bad?"
"..." My dad seems to have become wild and arrogant recently?
Han Yunru said, "That's a good thing. Your father is too honest and not smart enough. It would be good if he could learn to be a little more slick."
"Oh." Your dear husband, you can train me however you want.
The second is recruiting.
Judging from the process of Mrs. Liu's hiring, this process was destined not to be smooth.
Firstly, the shop is small and the work is complicated, and the division of labor is not as clear as in chain restaurants, and many young people cannot bear the hardship; secondly, Han Yunru’s recruitment requirements are very high. Not to mention the most basic requirements such as good looks and good health, she also requires the other party to be clean, have a nice smile, and be dexterous.
Jiang Da: "How can it be so comprehensive? If they have this ability, why don't they go somewhere better? Why would they stay in a small shop like ours?"
In the end, Han Yunru decided to lower her requirements, keeping only good health and cleanliness, and the rest... whatever.
Soon, there were two waves of interviews, and the general process was as follows:
Han Yunru first looked at them, kept the ones that looked good and clean, and then went to the store to try them out for two days.
If you pass the test, you will sign a contract and officially become a member of Jiangji; if you fail the test, you will be paid on a daily basis and will never work for free.
But after the two waves, no one was left.
Han Yunru sat in the store and sighed: "Why is it so difficult?"
Jiang Da muttered quietly to the side: "You're acting like you're on a blind date. You're pointing out so many faults. It's no wonder it's not difficult..."
Han Yunru glared at him.
Jiang Da shut up immediately.
The next day, Saturday, Jiang Fuyue came to the store to help after finishing twelve Olympiad test papers at home.
Little brother Jiang also followed along happily.
When I arrived at the store, I happened to see Han Yunru dismissing the third wave of interviewees.
Jiang Da felt helpless and amused, and secretly spread his hands towards Jiang Fuyue.
Han Yunru seemed to have eyes behind her and turned back in an instant.
Jiang Da: “!”
At noon, it was not so busy, Jiang Da fried a few side dishes, and the family had lunch in the restaurant.
Mrs. Liu was also there. When she talked about Hu Ben's recent situation, satisfaction showed in her eyes and eyebrows.
"...This kid is finally willing to take the right path. He goes to work every day and doesn't hang out with his bad friends. How much he earns is secondary. What matters most is stability."
Jiang Fuyue nodded secretly. Ever since Hu Ben was criticized in front of Liu Jinzhong last time, he has been working very hard to improve his performance and has changed a lot of his bad habits.
Xiaoliu is more stable than Huben and has basically never had any major problems.
The two bars are actually doing well in their hands.
While Jiang Fuyue was thinking about something, Jiang Xiaodi had already made several attempts on the plate of sweet and sour pork ribs.
"Dad, this is delicious! It's better than the previous ones!"
"Really? Let me try it..." Jiang Da took a small piece and put it in his mouth, smacking his lips twice. "It's okay. I added a few drops of lemon juice when thickening it this time. Unexpectedly, it's more flavorful. But the meat is not tender enough. Next time, I'll try blanching it in rice water and see if that helps."
When it comes to cooking, Jiang Da immediately changes from a "silent person" to a "clever parrot". As long as you dare to ask, he can answer you endlessly.
Pancakes are his signature dish, but it is not the only one he is good at.
And what we have in front of us is just a drop in the bucket.
It is said that a big part of the reason why Han Yunru agreed to marry him was because he cooked delicious food.
It is said that if you want to conquer a man, you must first conquer his stomach. This principle also applies to women.
Jiang Fuyue tasted the plate of pork ribs and found that it tasted better than before.
She suddenly became very curious, where did Jiang Da learn his cooking skills?
I don’t think I’ve ever heard him mention it before. He can’t be self-taught, right?
Just as I was about to ask, a group of people suddenly rushed into the store.
The leader was a burly man, shorter than Jiang Da, but quite strong. The fat on his waist trembled when he walked.
There were a few people following behind him, all of them were fat, with plump bodies and greasy faces.
Mrs. Liu was startled, thinking that someone was here to cause trouble, and immediately took out her phone to call her son.
Han Yunru was also frightened by this scene.
Jiang Xiaodi picked up the plate of ribs and ran behind Jiang Fuyue. He ate while sticking his head out to look, his cheeks bulging.
As the boss and the host, Jiang Da certainly couldn't be timid. He stepped forward and shouted angrily, "What do you want to do?"
The fat man was startled: "Big Brother, don't you remember us?"
Jiang Da: “?”
"I'm Sanpang'er! This is Fuman, and this is Xiaodouzi... Do you remember?"
Jiang Da fixed his eyes on the spot, stunned: "San, Sanpang'er?"
"Hey! Big Brother! Where have you been all these years? We've had such a hard time finding you!"
"W-Why are you here? Come on, come in first."
A group of men crowded into the restaurant. Although Han Yunru was a little confused, she quickly reacted and began to greet everyone: "Please sit down. I'll go get some side dishes. Sister Liu, come in and help."
"Hey!" Mrs. Liu followed in.
Sanpang'er: "Big Brother, that's your sister-in-law, right? She's so pretty! You're so lucky!"
Jiang Da waved his hand: "What's so handsome about him? It's just an old couple living together."
Jiang Fuyue curled her lips.
Oh, man!
"By the way, Sanpang, aren't you guys in City F? Why are you in Linhuai?"
"A few days ago, Xiaodouzi was browsing that blog and pointed at photos and said he saw you, more than once! When you left, he had just become a disciple. A five or six-year-old kid with a bad memory, he knew there was a senior brother, but he had forgotten what you looked like. Later, he saw the photo in Fuman's wallet and matched you up. Otherwise, he would definitely know you were in Linhuai earlier!"
The popularity of Jiangji Pancake started with a food influencer.
First, Lin Qiao posted an Amway post on her Weibo account named "Qiaoqiao is a little foodie".
Afterwards, her father reposted it using the gold V account "Taoke Lao Lin" with millions of followers, which made Jiang Ji an instant hit.
As the number of people checking in continued to increase, Jiang Ji’s reputation online became better and better, and it has now become one of the must-see attractions in Linhuai.
In addition to selling pancakes, sweet soups, and stir-fried dishes, Jiang Da and Han Yunru will also take photos with customers upon their invitation if they have time.
After these photos were posted online, Jiang Da and Han Yunru became familiar faces in the food chat room.
It's not surprising to be seen.
Sanpang'er: "You left so hastily back then, we brothers didn't even have the chance to say goodbye..." At this point, the old man's eyes were red, "Big Brother, you are so cruel!"
Jiang Da smiled bitterly.
How could he not say goodbye?
He didn't even have the chance to say goodbye!
"Okay, it's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore," Jiang Da patted his shoulder, with some soothing words, "As long as everyone lives well now, that's all that matters. Master can rest in peace in heaven."
"Oh, what's good about it——" The fat man waved his hands, looking dusty.
"Cao's business has grown bigger and bigger over the years. You are all the master's direct disciples, so you should be doing better than me. But don't be so falsely modest!" Jiang Da teased.
But except for him, everyone else looked worried.
Jiang Da frowned slightly and was about to ask again when Han Yunru had already cooked the dishes and brought them out.
"I'm sorry, I haven't prepared many dishes today, and there's nothing delicious to treat you all. Please don't be offended." As he said this, he had already neatly arranged the plates and put away the bowls and chopsticks.
"Sister-in-law, you are too polite. We came here without saying hello and caused trouble for you and Big Brother."
"We are all brothers, so let's not talk about different things. You guys chat, I'll go to the kitchen to clean up."
After saying that, he took Mrs. Liu away, leaving the space for the group of old men to talk.
Sanpang gave a thumbs up and lowered his voice: "Big Brother, your wife is amazing!"
