Chapter 69: Back to the Millennium to Torture the Phoenix Man 12 Why does she do that?
In fact, Shen Qian had already rented the factory here before Shen Shiguo agreed to allocate funds.
She had already made up her mind. Even if her father did not support her, as long as he did not object, she would seek a bank loan to make "Yueweidao" a success.
She also thought of two plans. The first plan was to directly transform Shen Ji and use the company's idle ovens directly. Of course, this was an ideal situation. If it didn't work, she would implement the second plan. She would rent a new shop and start a catering brand from scratch. This was also possible.
In this era, opportunities are everywhere. If you miss this opportunity, there will be no such good opportunities in the future.
At this moment, Zhou Jinyuan looked at the factory building in front of him and couldn't figure out how it was related to Shen Ji.
Shen Qian asked the workers to open the factory gate and took Zhou Jinyuan into the factory.
"In the future, Shen Ji will develop into a chain restaurant brand and change its name to 'Yueweidao'. Although it will no longer focus on Cantonese-style roast meats, it will still include many roast meat dishes. Chef Zhou, I hope you can come work here and provide the most professional roast meat guidance for 'Yueweidao'."
Zhou Jinyuan's eyes were completely unable to see enough at this time. The entrance was a clean area with an automatic door. After changing into disposable work clothes and shoe covers and gloves, Zhou Jinyuan walked into this fully automatic food processing area.
"We have just ordered a lot of equipment, which has not yet been delivered. In the future, this screen will be equipped with an electronic screen, which will display various data and accurately control the data of each step of production. This side is a drum-type vegetable washing machine and a vegetable peeling machine, and that side is the slicing, shredding and dicing area. The conveyor belt transports different ingredients to different areas, and finally cuts them into different shapes according to requirements. At the back is the sauce mixing area and the packaging area. Of course, our current investment is not large, and the scale is not large, but there is enough room for development in the factory. In the future, as more and more stores are opened, this factory can also be expanded at any time."
This is also the reason why Chen Qian set up the central kitchen of "Yueweidao" in the industrial area. In the old city where every inch of land is valuable, it is difficult to find a place large enough to build such a central kitchen.
Zhou Jinyuan was dumbfounded: "These... these ingredients will be supplied to Shen's... no, to "Yueweidao" in the future?"
"yes."
"But...we're just a small restaurant. How can we support such a large factory?"
In his opinion, it’s not that such a production line is not possible, but it is completely unnecessary. The previous Shen Ji had only so many old customers. Even if the new store’s business can improve after the renovation, it won’t be that good. Moreover, it’s just a small restaurant. If the amount of ingredients used increases, just hire a few more people. And even if the business is as good as Shen’s Restaurant, there is no need to open a factory...
Chen Qian looked at Zhou Jinyuan: "This factory will not only supply one restaurant, but in the future there will be many "Yueweidao" restaurants. And perhaps in the near future, not only Yuecheng, but the entire Yue Province, and even other major cities in the country, will also see our "Yueweidao" presence. This factory may supply ingredients for restaurants throughout the entire Yue Province. Do you think it is still necessary?"
Zhou Jinyuan was stunned: "Miss...this...this..."
"You don't believe it, right?" Shen Qian smiled: "It doesn't matter, as long as you promise me to come here to help me, I will let you see it, and it shouldn't take long."
For some reason, Zhou Jinyuan subconsciously felt that this idea was unreliable, but he didn't know why he was attracted to such a crazy idea.
He always felt that this scene looked familiar, but he couldn't remember why he felt that way.
He thought for a moment and said, "I hope that 'Cantonese Flavor' can still retain some of its memories, and not be completely gone..."
Shen Qian said: "Of course, I invited you here because I hope to preserve the flavor of Shen Ji. That is something that even my father can't do, only you can."
Zhou Jinyuan's craftsmanship is the soul of Chen Ji and the reason why those old neighbors insist on coming to Chen Ji every day.
Chen Qian also understood that food produced on industrial assembly lines lacked the flavor and soul of food produced in family workshops. He asked Zhou Jinyuan to control the production in order to preserve more traditional elements, even if there were not many left.
"Okay, I promise you, I will come here to work!" Zhou Jinyuan got the answer he wanted and immediately agreed.
"There is a staff dormitory nearby. If you don't like living nearby, I can arrange a car to pick you up. You can just follow the food delivery van to the factory to work every day. I will increase your salary by 50%, and you will get a bonus every month and a year-end bonus at the end of the year."
When Zhou Jinyuan heard about the salary increase, he was immediately happy and excited, but also a little ashamed. He had thought that the eldest lady had no use for him and had even gone to his master to complain. He had not expected that the eldest lady would really reserve such an important position for him and even give him a salary increase.
"Miss, 50% is really too much..."
"It's not much. As long as you come to help me, this is the value you deserve."
Shen Qian had previously met some retired chefs from Yuecheng during her cooking training, and she knew that these chefs held their own beliefs and often found it difficult to accept changes to tradition. Her own father, Shen Shiguo, also held these beliefs. Therefore, Shen Qian didn't mind spending the extra money to hire Zhou Jinyuan.
After the two finished chatting, Shen Qian took Zhou Jinyuan to continue the tour. At the back was the mixing area and storage area. In addition to these, there was also a large chef operation area.
"In addition to some of our food being made by machines, there are still many parts that are cooked manually. Of course, there are many dishes that only undergo the simplest pre-processing in this factory, and the final processing will be completed in the chain restaurant."
Zhou Jinyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Yes, that's right."
In his opinion, the reason why many dishes are delicious is that they are cooked before being eaten. After hearing Shen Qian say that this is just pre-processing, he finally felt relieved and had a more specific understanding of his future work content.
"I see. So when do I start working here?"
"Starting tomorrow, you will be responsible for the roast pork rice series of "Yueweidao". You need to first familiarize yourself with the processes of these machines, and then come up with correction plans based on the results of the food tasting."
It was not until this moment that Zhou Jinyuan truly understood the eldest daughter of the Shen family.
He has worked at Shen's for so many years, and Zhao Li is a gossip lover, so he has heard a lot of rumors about this young lady.
Rumor has it that she is a love-brained person and is completely unable to take over Shen Shiguo's job. She fell in love, got married, and had children. After completing the major events in her life, she stayed at home as a housewife. Shen Shiguo was finally helpless and decided to hand over Shen's Restaurant to his son-in-law Chen Shifeng.
But now, Zhou Jinyuan had no way of connecting the talkative woman in front of him with the housewife in the rumors.
In his opinion, Shen Qian's vision and courage are not even inferior to his master Shen Shiguo.
Yes... When Shen Qian talked about the production line here and the future development of "Yueweidao", the ambition and spirit in his eyes were exactly the same as those of Shen Shiguo back then!
When Shen Shiguo handed Shen Ji to him, Zhou Jinyuan was also terrified, fearing that his master would leave and he would fail when he ventured out. But Shen Shiguo said at the time: "A tree that is moved will die, but a person who moves will live. Just wait and see, I will soon be able to make this new restaurant the best Cantonese restaurant in Yuecheng!"
Later, Shen Shiguo did achieve his revenge, but he stayed in the small Shen Ji for so many years.
Zhou Jinyuan felt inwardly that this time he could also participate in the second generation of the Shen family's entrepreneurship.
…
Shen Ji's movements were soon heard by Chen Shifeng through Chen Shiming.
"Brother, this doesn't seem right. I always feel like my sister-in-law is doing something behind our backs. Didn't you have a good talk with her when you were at home?" Chen Shiming asked inquiringly.
Chen Shifeng snorted coldly: "What's there to talk about with a woman like her? She's been cooped up at home for too long. Let her do whatever she wants. It's just a waste of money. Once she's had a taste of the bitterness, she'll know how to stop."
He thought he knew this woman very well. She always tried to save trouble. At home, all the housework was left to the nanny, and she was picked up and dropped off by a driver. She didn't even take care of the children.
"Brother, I still feel something is wrong. Do you think my sister-in-law has changed a lot in recent times?" Although Chen Shiming had little contact with Chen Qian, his emotional intelligence was much higher than Chen Shifeng's. He intuitively felt that this matter was weird.
"What changes can there be?"
"Sister-in-law never dared to argue with you before, nor would she talk back to Mom. Mom has complained to me so many times recently, saying that sister-in-law never listens to her at home. Oh, and she also said that sister-in-law is out all day and I don't know what she is busy with. Don't you really think something is wrong?"
"What could be wrong? She and I had a fight recently, and she's probably angry, so she wants to make some noise to get my attention. It's just a woman's trick."
Although Chen Shifeng was embarrassed, he still admitted that there were problems in his relationship with Chen Qian.
"Brother, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?"
"Why should I tell you this?"
In Chen Shiming's opinion, this was a huge deal. He hesitated to speak, wanting to remind his brother that the three of them, the Chen family, were able to hold such important positions in the Shen Family Restaurant and earn such high salaries, all thanks to his marriage.
If his relationship with his sister-in-law changes, all the benefits he has already obtained will be gone in an instant.
"Brother, come on, I'll take you back."
"What's wrong with you?"
"There's nothing wrong with me, it's you who's confused. There's a problem with your relationship with your sister-in-law. Go and get her back!"
Chen Shifeng frowned, subconsciously feeling disgusted by his brother's words.
How to coax him back?
Are you still a bootlicker like you were when you were pursuing her before?
Why does she do that?
Seeing that his brother's face was not right, Chen Shiming was also afraid that if he pushed too hard, he might rebel, so he made a compromise: "Brother, how about this? It's Mom's birthday in a few days. Sister-in-law won't be away from home, right? Then we can all go to your house. There are many people, and we can help you persuade her with a few words."
Chen Shifeng didn't think it was necessary at all. First of all, he didn't think Shen Qian could make any big noise. She was just trying to find a sense of existence. Secondly, he didn't think Shen Qian was worth the whole family's effort to coax her.
Now Shen Shiguo has great trust in him, but the situation on the electric oven has caused some tension between the two sides. That's the old man's temper, stubborn and inflexible. If he just spends more time, the old man will definitely give in.
After all, he had no other choice. He had already bought the electric oven and couldn't just leave it unused.
