Chapter 54: Rounding
Yang Ruoqian typed back, "Look at what these employees have handed in. It would be a huge mistake to let them choose what to eat. I have to help the employees make the decision."
The subjective initiative of our company's employees is too poor! Chang Zhiqing soon sent a message: "Isn't it quite normal?"
Stir-fried pork with green peppers, noodles with peas… Is there something wrong with these things? Yang Ruoqian was very disappointed: “We hired two chefs and three assistants at high salaries. Isn’t it a waste of human resources to only make these dishes?”
Looking at the message in the WeChat chat box, Chang Zhiqing almost couldn't breathe.
Too much waste of human resources?
It is a real waste to build a luxurious employee cafeteria for a dozen or so employees! Not only is it a waste of human resources, but it is also a waste of funds and land resources. It wastes everything that can be wasted.
Chang Zhiqing replied: "Then what do you want to do to avoid wasting these so-called human resources?!"
When asking this question, Chang Zhiqing suddenly felt that she was a complete failure as a director.
The directors of other companies have the final say and can decide the life and death of countless employees with a wave of their hands. Their subordinates tremble in fear when they just say a word, and they will be arranged in various ways as soon as they leave the office.
But what is Chang Zhiqing doing? She is currently arguing with her boss about the staff cafeteria.
Not only failed, but also outrageous.
Yang Ruoqian crossed his legs and replied, "Since you are a chef, you should make the best use of your talents. If you don't give them the best ingredients, how can you reflect the value of this high salary?"
Chang Zhiqing already had a bad feeling in her heart: "What do you mean by 'the best ingredients'? Explain clearly."
"Tomorrow is the grand opening of the staff cafeteria, and the food must be better. Every employee should have at least four dishes and a soup, right?" Yang Ruoqian said after a moment of thought.
Four dishes and one soup... Every employee...
You want to starve them to death, right?
Forget it, if the portion of a dish is not large, four dishes and one soup is reasonable.
Chang Zhiqing asked again: "Okay, what kind of four dishes and one soup do you want to prepare?"
"Nutrition must be balanced, three meats and one vegetable are a must."
"Yeah, that's reasonable." Chang Zhiqing opened the memo and planned to write down what Yang Ruoqian would say next.
Yang Ruoqian thought carefully about everyone's needs and said cautiously, "Doesn't anyone want to eat stir-fried pork with green peppers? Let's do it all at once. Let's have a Tomahawk steak barbecue buffet with some green and red peppers and garlic. It's not much different from stir-fried pork with green peppers."
"Also, aren't there employees who want to eat shrimp and sauerkraut noodles? We rounded it up and made a 2-jin steamed Australian lobster with vermicelli and garlic paste for each person. Vermicelli and noodles are both long strips, so they can be considered the same, which is very reasonable."
"We have everything that runs on the ground and swims in the water, what we're missing is something that flies in the sky... Doesn't anyone want to eat chicken wings? For the third meat dish, let's make roasted pigeon."
"Keep the vegetarian dishes simple, just boiled cabbage will do."
Chang Zhiqing was typing on her phone with a blank expression.
Well, rounded up, grilled steak is equal to stir-fried pork with green peppers, steamed lobster with vermicelli and garlic sauce is equal to臊子面, and two chicken wings are equal to roasted pigeon.
And the “simple” boiled cabbage.
What a mediocre four dishes.
It turns out that this is a staff meal. If you don’t know, you might think it is the last meal before execution.
"Where's the soup?" Chang Zhiqing asked the last question with her last bit of courage.
Boss, please, just have a simple seaweed egg drop soup.
However, Yang Ruoqian, who was bent on corrupting his employees with food, would never do as Chang Zhiqing wished. He said, "Sea cucumber, dried abalone, shark fin, Jinhua ham... Let the chef prepare a portion of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for each of our employees!"
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall...
Are you running a company or supporting your father?
Even if we purchase in bulk and at wholesale prices, the cost of ingredients for these four dishes and one soup would be at least 1,500 yuan per person per day.
Do you have too much money and nowhere to spend it?
Yang Ruoqian looked at the recipe in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.
Very good. From now on, I will refer to the employees' opinions and come up with new dishes every day. There will be no problem with dishes like stir-fried pork with green peppers and noodles with臊子. However, they must be reviewed by Yang Ruoqian before being submitted to the canteen's chef.
This not only satisfies the employees' dining needs, but also achieves the goal of corrupting the employees' minds, killing two birds with one stone.
Yang Ruoqian, who thought he was a genius, was extremely proud of himself and sent a warm greeting to the silent chat box.
"Chang Zhiqing? Why are you suddenly silent?"
"I just woke up and fainted because of you!"
…
The next day, there were ten minutes left before lunch break.
All employees worked as hard as usual and did not get anxious just because it was almost time to get off work.
They had some expectations for the lunch, but the expectations were not too high.
These are all the dishes I ordered myself. No matter how good the chef is, can he make a flower?
"Hmm, it smells so good." Shao Yiqi, who had just drawn up a promotional plan, suddenly took a deep breath, "No, no, isn't it supposed to be stir-fried pork with green peppers and noodles? Why doesn't it smell like that?"
Based on his experience of eating gout meals all the time, the smell coming from outside definitely could not be stir-fried pork with green peppers.
How come this rich and mellow flavor smells a bit like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?! I remember no one reported this dish yesterday? What the hell is this old classmate of mine doing?
Before he could figure out the reason, it was time to get off work.
Under the boss's personal example for two months and Chang Zhiqing's severe crackdown on overtime, no employee of Kuiguang Company dared to work overtime on their own initiative. Regardless of whether they had finished the work at hand or not, they had to stop working.
"It's time to get off work, let's go eat!"
"Come on, let's see if the stir-fried pork with green peppers in the staff cafeteria is delicious."
The company was expanding into new territory, so the employees were naturally very curious. Plus, they were really hungry, so about twenty people packed up their things, took their cell phones and meal cards, and headed to the cafeteria.
"Wow, the decoration is so high-end, and the tableware is so exquisite! If you don't know, you would think I came to some high-end restaurant."
"It smells so good, I can't wait!"
"Hurry up and take a photo with your phone and post it on WeChat Moments, pretending that you are living a petty bourgeoisie life."
"Where's my stir-fried pork with green peppers? Why can't I see any stir-fried pork with green peppers? What's in this tin foil? Which one should I take?"
Just when many people were confused, a kitchen helper came out and introduced to the confused employees: "Boss Yang consulted everyone's opinions yesterday and combined everyone's needs to customize today's lunch. Everyone eats the same. These three portions are meat dishes, those are vegetarian dishes, and the last one is soup. Everyone line up to receive them. If you don't have enough, come back and get more."
oh……
It's standardized, everyone is the same.
Lu Shuyuan was not too upset about not being able to eat stir-fried pork with green peppers - when she was working in sales, she ate boxed lunches every day, and the food in the staff cafeteria was obviously much better than the boxed lunches, so she had no complaints.
Thinking of this, Lu Shuyuan took the first unknown dish wrapped in tin foil.
"There are five dishes in total. Xiao Lu, take a look at what the second one is."
"Okay, let me take a look."
Under everyone's curious gaze, Lu Shuyuan opened the incubator.
In an instant, the staff cafeteria, which was originally a little noisy, became silent.
