Chapter 147 Big Reform
These people in the kitchen have supported Shen Qingyue many times.
Speaking of which, it was a rare fate. The relationship was very tense when Shen Qingyue set up a stall at the door.
But after Chef Chen, who caused the trouble, was arrested, the relationship became delicate.
When Chef Li became the person in charge, the conflict was resolved.
Shen Qingyue now felt a rare sense of guilt. If it weren't for the booming business at the specialty store, they wouldn't be facing this situation now.
Chef Li's skills are decent, so he can find a job, but the other junior chefs or apprentices are in a bad situation.
There is no job at all.
Chef Li said, "I understand. When are we leaving?" His voice was hoarse. Even if he could find a job, he would be fired because of his inferior skills. This stain would probably be something he would have to carry for the rest of his life.
"Today." Deputy Director Xu said, "They have found a good person over there. He will come back today to take up the position." This time, the chef was also hired from outside with a high salary.
Many apprentices already had red eyes.
It is really too inhumane to ask people to leave after a meeting without giving them any buffer.
Deputy Director Xu didn't even look at everyone. It was obvious that there would be crying after he left.
This offensive job was assigned to him by others, so he had no choice but to harden his heart.
That's how factory management works. You can't rely on personal connections for everything. You have to be tough when necessary.
People who are too soft-hearted cannot become senior officials.
Deputy Director Xu said, "Shen Qingyue, the reason we called you here this time is also about this matter. The factory has decided to swap your kitchen with the current kitchen in the cafeteria."
The large kitchen is several hundred square meters and can open up to thirteen windows at the same time.
This is also the wish of thousands of employees in the factory. Many people have reported this to the workers' union more than once, saying that the special windows are too small and there are long queues.
In particular, it is not just people from the factory. Many people from society come to the steel plant canteen to eat, and now there are more construction workers.
It's really hopeless to wait in a line that seems to have no end.
Shen Qingyue didn't expect that her plan to expand the area had been resolved before she even mentioned it to the factory.
But she didn't dare to be happy because she got it in this form.
After saying this, Deputy Director Xu said, "Please wait here for a moment. The accountant will come over to settle your wages."
After saying that, he walked out. As he walked out, he heard someone with a weak mental endurance crying.
Deputy Director Xu sighed, knowing that this kind of thing was not easy to handle.
Shen Qingyue was also a little embarrassed.
After witnessing these people being fired en masse, she had to stand up and say something.
"Have you decided what to do next?"
Those people lowered their heads and said nothing.
A chubby cook smiled bitterly and said, "We were all stunned. It was so sudden. There were no plans at all."
Shen Qingyue suddenly thought, "I have an idea. I can hire you. It just so happens that the special window is short of people."
Now it’s bigger.
If we want to open multiple windows in the future, we'll need more people. They're all experienced. Let them come in and they can get started right away without any adjustment or transition.
Besides, I have worked with them several times and can see their character.
Their cooking skills are not so good, but they are still very serious and meticulous in their work.
Shen Qingyue's statement was too tempting.
Even the crying of the little chef who had just been lying on the table stopped abruptly.
He raised his head with red eyes.
Chef Li gasped, "Actually, you don't have to. We...are not strong enough. It's not your fault."
He said this because he was afraid that Shen Qingyue was kind and felt sorry for them.
With great power comes great responsibility, and Shen Qingyue is now responsible for too many things. I am afraid that they will add to Shen Qingyue's burden if they go there.
Shen Qingyue said: "How could that be? I had this idea before, but I never said it. Look at the barbecue festival before, how well we cooperated."
Everyone present looked at Chef Li eagerly, and they all wanted to agree immediately.
Chef Li saw Shen Qingyue say this without any reluctance on his face. He finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay. Thank you."
This is what he really wanted to say, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.
Shen Qingyue said: "Then let's move there first."
"OK."
After a while, the accountant came and said the factory had fired them and given them compensation: triple their wages.
Before, receiving this money would have been a pain in the ass, but now everyone is beaming with joy. Not only do they not have to leave, but they also get a lot more money.
After Shen Qingyue returned, she quickly asked someone to move the things over. After moving to the back kitchen, she suddenly went from the cramped space of the featured window to such a spacious and bright place.
It feels like a poor man suddenly becoming rich.
Not only Shen Qingyue, but also Jiang Yu, Sister Ying, Sister Chun Xing, and several aunts who washed vegetables were extremely excited.
The kitchen was so small before, and now it still feels empty even after moving all the things in.
Fifty people can stand here without feeling crowded.
Shen Qingyue and the logistics department bought some large pots and stoves, rice steamers, and some other things, spending more than 8,000 yuan in total.
This is because it's a used item and the price is discounted. If it were brand new, the price would be much higher, and the size would have to be custom made, which is difficult to come by right now.
After a while, the other side changed.
When Chef Li and the others arrived, Shen Qingyue just told everyone that they would work together from now on.
Without going into too much detail, the old people on Shen Qingyue's side were also very happy.
The original apprentices were also happy and eager to get started. They cleaned up the place again.
Shen Qingyue asked Chef Li to continue to be the head chef.
Jiang Yufu would handle the goods, act as accountant, and act as assistant. Chun Xing and Ying would also manage the vegetable washing and chopping. The rest of the staff remained unchanged.
It's almost time for lunch break, the food is ready, and everyone is waiting for Shen Qingyue to give orders.
Pairs of eyes looked over.
Shen Qingyue said, "Open five windows for food." Chef Li and his team were responsible for the food. They worked in pairs, one serving the food and one the other.
"Open three sour plum soup windows." There were quite a few people coming to get sour plum soup at noon.
"good."
Soon, the bell rang and the construction workers rushed over along with the factory employees.
The construction worker said, "Oh, it's all because Old Liu is so slow, otherwise we would have finished it long ago." If they were to eat with the people from the steel factory, wouldn't the queue be extremely long?
"Of course."
Those who arrived earlier all ran to the special offer window and saw that it was empty. They were stunned for a moment, wondering if they had quit.
Just when I was about to ask someone, someone said, "They're over there." Then a few people hurried over. When they looked, they were really there!
The cafeteria and the special window were merged. Five windows were opened at once, and Shen Qingyue was also inside.
However, the people serving the food were all former cafeteria employees, which made everyone hesitant. Some people even asked directly, "Who made this food?"
“Miss Shen and the others do it, and we just serve the food.”
"Oh, that's fine." Then I hurried over to queue up. It was really fast with so many windows open. After finishing my order, I quickly went to another window to queue for some sour plum soup.
Everyone was talking about it: "Hey, I didn't expect that. I was shocked when I first saw it. How great is that? The lines are faster than before."
"Yes, it used to take at least twenty minutes to queue up, but now it only takes five minutes. It's so fast, I'm still a little uncomfortable with it."
It wasn't just the diners who were not used to it, even the apprentices who served the food were not used to it. Before, there was no one in front of the window. But now, a bunch of people were swarming in.
This is a new and novel experience that I have never had before, but I have to say, it feels really good.
Soon, everyone was excited again. On Shen Qingyue's blackboard, it was clearly written that they would have dumplings for dinner, with four flavors: leeks and eggs, celery and meat, tomatoes and meat, and green peppers and meat.
"Ah? Dumplings for dinner?"
"What day is it? Is it Chinese New Year?"
"Oh, I love eating dumplings. I won't go to a restaurant today even if someone invites me. I want to eat dumplings in the cafeteria."
"Hey, stop flattering yourself. Who's treating you to dinner?"
"That's what I meant."
“…”
By the afternoon, many people knew that Shen Qingyue was having dumplings for dinner, and everyone was overjoyed. They had long forgotten about the bacon pancakes; dumplings were the king in everyone's hearts.
