Chapter 328: Did our boss’ wife marry later?
In the eyes of outsiders, being a doctor seems very noble and respected, but only after becoming a doctor do you realize how difficult it is. It is hard and tiring, and there is endless medical knowledge to learn. He studied for eight years, from the age of sixteen to twenty-four.
I thought I wouldn't have to study after entering the hospital, but I still have to study, especially on night shifts.
They will also be complained about and beaten and scolded by their family members!
After only one month of working, Gu Changan completely overturned his previous perception of doctors.
He was wondering why his aunt didn't tell him that being a doctor would be so hard. He didn't know if his cousin Mianmian regretted it, but he did regret it anyway.
He is now wondering whether he should change his career and go somewhere else, but he is unwilling to do so.
He has studied for eight years, and now he wants to change his career. Wouldn't the previous eight years have been in vain?
Forget it, let’s just do it this way for now.
Su He felt that their family really had no way of saving money. They had managed to save about one million yuan the year before last, but suddenly spent eight hundred thousand yuan.
I bought three cars last year and spent $400,000.
This year is the same. I spent 200,000 yuan just after the New Year, and I still have to spend it.
Currently, their family has about 1.3 million in savings.
Gu Jianhua said that only 200,000 yuan should be kept and the rest should be used to buy a shop.
The prices in shops are rising really fast, so if you want to buy a shop, buy it as soon as possible.
At present, their family assets include two courtyard houses, five small courtyard houses, four in Haishi, one in Jingshi, twenty-two shops, four in Haishi and eighteen in Jingshi.
Fourteen businesses are open for business and one is under renovation.
Su He left 300,000 yuan for his family.
I took one million to buy a house or shop.
First buy ten commercial houses, all over 100 square meters, in the same building.
It cost about 150,000 yuan.
There are more than 800,000 left.
Su He originally planned to buy a small or medium-sized shop, but after visiting the Housing Authority, he decided on a large shop.
It has four floors, although the fourth floor is not large.
The total area is about 3,200 square meters.
A very big shop.
The asking price is 880,000!
The location of this shop is very good, in a busy commercial area, with a large parking area at the door.
Su He thought that this shop could be used to open the big hotel that Gu Jianhua mentioned.
The kind that takes the high-end route!
Su He bought it immediately.
Gu Jianhua thought that his wife could at least buy four or five shops with one million yuan.
I didn't expect to ask, so I bought one.
"One?"
Su He, "Yes, there is only one. It is a very large shop, 3,200 square meters, with four floors."
"I'll take you there this afternoon. It's perfect for you to open a big hotel. The location is great."
Gu Jianhua, "Really? How much did it cost?"
Su He smiled, "Guess."
Gu Jianhua thought for a moment, "800,000?"
Su He shook his head, "880,000!"
Gu Jianhua heard this and said, “That’s not very expensive.” You know, it’s 3,200 square meters.
Not three hundred and twenty square meters.
Su He, "Indeed, it may be because it is a large store, so it is a little cheaper than other stores."
In the afternoon, Su He took Gu Jianhua to see the shop, and Gu Jianhua liked it very much.
"Wife, I'm going to open this big hotel next year!"
Su He, "You can open it, but let's think about it in advance. What kind of dishes will be the main ones in our restaurant? Northeastern cuisine, Northwestern cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, or Hunan cuisine?"
Gu Jianhua thought for a moment and said, "I personally like Sichuan cuisine, but Sichuan cuisine is all home-cooked food, and it doesn't have any hard dishes!"
"For example, when your guests eat, you can't just order stir-fries, you have to order a few main dishes."
Su He, "I know what you mean. Just like in my hometown, when relatives come to visit, we must kill a chicken or cook lamb chops for them."
"Then let's go with Shandong cuisine. Shandong cuisine is the first of the eight major cuisines. It can accommodate all kinds of dishes. The dishes we usually eat are almost all Shandong cuisine."
Gu Jianhua, "Okay, but I still need to hire a Sichuan chef."
Su He, "You treat me, I love Sichuan cuisine too."
"Let's do this. The store will open next year. When the time comes, you can hire a chef and work with the chefs to develop the store's specialty dishes."
When running a hotel, especially a large one, you must have several unique specialties.
Just like the representative dishes of the eight major cuisines.
Gu Jianhua: "Okay." He thought so too.
The hot pot restaurant was renovated for more than two months and opened in early May. We chose a weekend on purpose.
It’s OK for a small shop, but for a large hotpot restaurant of 400 to 500 square meters, Gu Jianhua held an opening ceremony by placing flower baskets at the door and setting off firecrackers.
The first fifty tables of guests will get free meals, and all guests who dine in the restaurant within three days of opening will receive a 50% discount.
This was Su He's idea.
With this gimmick, the Ice-Boiled Lamb restaurant became a hit on the first day of its opening.
From morning till after get off work in the evening, there were more than 200 tables occupied.
The Ice-Boiled Lamb Restaurant has ten large private rooms, six small private rooms, and eighteen scattered tables.
The turnover rate of large private rooms is low, mainly small private rooms and scattered tables.
Because it was Sunday, Su He also went to the store to observe.
She feels that her Jianhua hotpot restaurant is a success, not because of how many customers come in a day, but because of the comments they make when they leave.
"The mutton in your restaurant is tender and fresh, especially delicious. I will come here to eat again in the future."
“The hot pot base is rich and delicious.”
“Teppanyaki milk tofu is delicious!”
“Great service, fresh meat!”
...........
The customers who came to eat in the restaurant gave good reviews when they left.
Some people praised the lamb cooked in ice as delicious, fresh and tender, and said they had drunk up all the cooking soup. When I went to the table, it turned out to be true.
There is also delicious hotpot base.
Ice-boiled lamb does not require any base ingredients, just lamb and ice. However, some people may not be used to eating lamb cooked in plain water and prefer spicy food.
Gu Jianhua prepared a spicy hot pot, which received very good response.
There are also some snacks, such as crispy pork, fried steamed buns, iron plate milk tofu, etc.
The guests all like it very much.
All in all, this shabu-shabu restaurant is considered a success.
Gu Jianhua whispered to Su He, "I was worried before."
Now I can finally put my mind at ease.
Su He, "I see you are full of confidence."
Gu Jianhua, "That's just on the surface. I was nervous and worried in my heart."
Except for the bakery and brine shops, which were opened by him, all the others were opened by his wife, although they are all owned by the couple.
However, when you open a store, you will inevitably have more worries on the first day of opening.
Not to mention Su He's Gu Jianhua who was nervous and worried, everyone in the store was also nervous and worried, fearing that no one would come to eat.
After all, if the store where they work is not doing well, they will most likely be fired by the boss.
Fortunately, business was very good and they were able to keep their jobs.
Li Xinghua is the manager of the Ice-boiled Lamb Shop. After all the customers had left in the evening, he came to Su He and Gu Jianhua and said, "Boss, why don't we hire two more waiters?"
"I'm too busy!"
Originally, there were three waiters in charge of the ten large private rooms, two waiters in charge of the six small private rooms, and three waiters at the open tables.
But when it gets busy, there are not enough staff and everyone is running around.
Su He also knew the situation today and it was indeed busy, so she and Gu Jianhua went to help serve the dishes.
She said, "Then let's hire two."
"You will be better in the future. Today is the first day and you haven't adjusted to the new rules yet. Once you have adjusted to the new rules, you won't be so busy anymore."
Li Xinghua, "That's true, but I'm really busy today!"
His feet hurt from walking.
He has been working in the billiard hall for a year and has never been so busy. He has also never talked so much in a day. His throat is sore from talking so much.
Fortunately, there is a walkie-talkie.
There are four walkie-talkies in total.
There was one in the kitchen and three in the front hall, and he wore it. The other two were worn by the deputy manager and the foreman.
The three of them were in charge of different areas: he was in charge of the first floor, the deputy manager was in charge of the large private rooms on the second floor, and the foreman was in charge of the small private rooms.
Cooperate separately.
If the boss is smart and buys this thing, communication will be very convenient and high-end.
He was talking on the intercom and the guests were looking at him.
The ice-boiled mutton hotpot restaurant was opened in this way and the business was very good.
It can be said that it is getting better day by day.
Gu Jianhua originally wanted to retire, but after Bingzhuyang opened, he became busy again. He is still very busy and has no leisure time. The only time he can take a break is when Suzhou and Ho are closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
In the morning, I went to the market to buy vegetables, boiled lamb and halal.
After buying groceries, he comes back to take care of the kids and clean the house, and then he has to cook at noon.
After dinner, you can rest for two hours and take a nap.
I continue to take care of the kids in the afternoon and start cooking at five o'clock. People who go to school or work should be back, so we have dinner at six o'clock.
Then he went to the butcher shop to pickle dishes for the next day and got off work at nine o'clock.
Because Gu Jianhua often took the little girl Sui Sui to stroll around the ice-boiled lamb shop, the employees in the shop were very curious about the boss's home.
We can chat about it when we are free.
In the Ice-Boiled Lamb Shop, except for Li Xinghua and Aunt Jiang, who are old employees transferred from the billiard hall, the rest are newcomers.
They didn't dare to ask the store manager for fear of being scolded, so they asked Aunt Jiang, who had a lovely smile.
This day, Gu Jianhua took his eldest granddaughter, little girl Sui Sui, for a walk.
Aunt Xu, who works as a cleaner with Aunt Jiang, asked,
"Hey, why does our boss take care of a baby every day?"
Aunt Jiang, "You asked this question. The boss' daughter and son-in-law are at work, right? The baby must be in the boss's care."
Aunt Xu was slightly surprised. "She's my granddaughter? I thought she was my granddaughter. Then the boss' daughter doesn't have parents-in-law? Will he take care of her?"
Aunt Jiang has been working in this industry for so many years and is very familiar with her boss's family affairs, so she told him everything.
"So that's how it is."
Aunt Xu was silent for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Did our boss marry later?"
"Ah?" Aunt Jiang immediately asked with a big question mark.
Aunt Xu, "I wonder if the boss's wife is the boss's second wife."
Aunt Jiang was confused, "No, they are the original couple."
