Chapter 333
Liang Xiuyu smiled secretly and said to Jiang Fengyi, "Do you want my uncle and the others to completely give up on me?"
Jiang Fengyi raised his eyebrows and asked quickly: "What ideas do you have?"
Liang Xiuyu pointed in Su Yu's direction and said, "Why are my uncle and the others focusing on you instead of digging out the comrade who cuts the braised food? He seems to be in charge of kitchen work as well."
"Ayu, he's even better than me. He's the second-in-command of our store and can make all the food in the store. Sometimes when the boss and Miaomiao are not around, he takes full charge of the store's affairs. But your uncle can't poach him because he's our boss's nephew."
"That's right!"
Looking at Liang Xiuyu, who was smiling wickedly, Jiang Fengyi said with a smile, "You want me to become related to the boss? That's not a good idea."
"I'm not really asking you to try to establish a relationship with him. Just say hello to the boss. Next time my uncle comes to see you, just tell him you're related to him, or even sworn brothers. Anyway, as long as you have that extra layer of relationship with the boss of Su Ji, my uncle and the others will definitely think it's hopeless and give up."
Jiang Fengyi thought for a moment and said, "It's a good idea, but it's a little awkward to implement. Uncle Yuan and I seem to be a dozen years apart, so it feels a bit strange to say we're godfathers or sworn brothers... Oh, right! I can say I'm sworn brothers with A Yu, which means I'm related to Uncle Yuan."
Liang Xiuyu nodded with a teachable look on her face. "That's good, but don't tell anyone else it was my idea. If my uncle knew, he would come home and cry and make a scene."
"Okay, I know. Thank you, Xiaoyu."
At 7:30 in the evening, it was past dinner time and Su Ji Food Shop ended its busy day in the last rays of the sun.
According to the usual schedule, Su Hui would come here to cook dinner at 6:30 every day, and after everyone had cleaned up the store, we could start eating right away.
After school, Su Miao would eat something to fill his stomach first, and then wait to have dinner with everyone.
Originally, Su Yuan wanted Su Miao to eat first without waiting for them, but Su Miao insisted on eating with the whole family, thinking that the food would taste better in such a happy atmosphere.
This is how it is for people working in the catering industry. Other people’s meal times are their busiest time. They always have to wait until others have eaten and drunk their fill before it is their turn to sit down and enjoy the food.
The sky gradually darkened, but the warm yellow lights in the store were still bright, illuminating everyone's faces.
After dinner, Yingzi and the other two girls went home. Jiang Fengyi waited until only the Su family members were left in the store before he told them about Manager Wu's poaching.
As for the various attractive conditions that Manager Wu offered to recruit him, such as triple salary, opening a separate branch, and introducing his niece to him, he just glossed over them.
Then he raised his tone slightly and emphasized the unique and ingenious idea of becoming sworn brothers.
As soon as the voice fell, the bold Su Yu stood up from his seat, stepped to his side with a neat movement, put his arm around Jiang Fengyi's shoulders, and said with a smile:
"Why pretend? Can we even fake sworn brotherhood? Why don't we just become sworn brothers today? Uncle! Bring me a bowl. I want to swear an oath of blood with Ayi today and become brothers of different surnames!"
His exaggerated body movements and passionate, high-pitched voice made him look just like a young man who jumped out of a martial arts novel. When the others saw him like this, they were stunned at first, and then they burst into laughter. As they laughed so hard, all the fatigue of the day seemed to dissipate a lot.
Su Hui sat aside, watching her brother's noisy appearance. She couldn't help but spit at him, but a smile spread across her lips as she jokingly said, "Brother! You even swore a blood oath of brotherhood. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was some bandit from some mountaintop coming down to seize territory."
After being teased by his sister, Su Yu raised his hand and scratched his slightly rough short hair, and laughed: "Oh, you don't know what I mean, I just want to express that my relationship with Ayi is very good, no different from sworn brothers."
Su Miao said to Jiang Fengyi sincerely, "Brother Yi, Lao Wu Food Stall wants to recruit you to be their head chef, so they must have promised you very good treatment. If it were someone else, they might have been so tempted that they would have gone with you without even saying a word. But not only did you not agree, you even told us about it. You're so loyal! We will definitely remember your sincerity."
Jiang Fengyi listened to her words, shook his head slightly, and said: "Miaomiao, I have worked here for such a long time, and I have long regarded you as my own people. Am I the kind of person who sells myself for profit? Have you forgotten that I am a soldier? The person I hate most is a traitor.
I'm telling you this today to give you a heads-up. Business is booming, and more and more people are watching us. I'm sure this kind of thing will happen again in the future."
Su Miao nodded and said, "Yes, this kind of thing will only become more and more common in the future, which is why I am working hard to promote the Su Ji brand.
Honestly, it's impossible for something to be completely without a substitute, especially food. There are so many people with great cooking skills, and whether they come up with their own ideas or copy them from us, competitors will eventually emerge.
But as long as our brand is there and our quality and service are up to par, we will be able to survive. In recent years, people's lives have been getting better and better, and the catering service industry has huge market potential in the future.
We must seize this opportunity and strive to develop Su Ji into a large-scale restaurant chain. We must not only offer in-store dining but also add additional products. In addition to shredded papaya, I also want to introduce other products in the future."
Su Hui asked with sparkling eyes: "Are there any other products you can make?"
"I haven't thought about this yet, but there's no rush. I'll take it one step at a time. There's plenty of time for me to think about it."
Su Yuan knew his daughter's plan and said, "We have long-term plans and short-term strategies. Miaomiao and I have discussed that we want to recruit a group of new employees, both for the store and the workshop.
Just like now, we will clearly define the responsibilities of each position. This way, the waiters working in the front office will not be exposed to the work in the kitchen. The taste of Su Ji will only be in the hands of a few core members, and they will not be able to poach us even if they want to. "
Jiang Fengyi was touched by Su Yuanzheng's choice of words: "We? Am I also a core member?"
Su Miao nodded vigorously: "Of course! Brother Yi, Dad plans to teach you to make braised food and familiarize you with suppliers, just like Brother Yu. In the future, if Dad and I are not in the store, with you and Brother Yu here, Su Ji can operate normally."
Jiang Fengyi felt a sudden sense of mission in his heart, just like the feeling when the company commander on the front line handed the general flag to him.
"Uncle Yuan, Miaomiao, don't worry! From now on, as long as you don't drive me away, I will work in your house forever!"
