Chapter 156 Promotion, the Labor Service Agency under the small government
agency has arranged employment for many children of employees.
But the problem is that this collective enterprise has no clear business direction. It is doing things here and there, relying on its main business to pick up some leftovers and barely survive.
Chen Jizhou and his team now seem to have seen the direction.
"Why not let Guangyuan Hotel set up another snack bar to specialize in snacks. These guys in the Labor Service Agency are idle all day long, so it would be better to transfer more people there, which can also reduce the pressure on the bureau."
Huang Yicheng made a suggestion, and Chen Jizhou and others nodded, thinking that this method was good.
The unit cannot solve so many work indicators, but allowing these young people to have a good income can also be considered as an explanation to the internal department.
Afterwards, they went to Yao Liwen and Dong Yunxian to discuss it, and Yao Liwen exploded on the spot.
"Leaders, the snacks in the Chinese restaurant, such as cold noodles, large plate of chicken belt noodles and spicy chicken, are our signature dishes and have good benefits. If we set up a snack bar, wouldn't it be like cutting off a large piece of fat meat?"
Yao Liwen saw clearly that the so-called snack bar was nominally under the name of Guangyuan Hotel, but in fact it was given to the Labor Service Society.
After all, he had to support so many people, and a golden egg-laying chicken just flew away. How could he be willing?
Dong Yunxian didn't know what to say, but his gloomy face represented his attitude.
Chen Jizhou quickly appeased the two, and then Huang Yicheng came out to play the good cop, and finally forced Yao Liwen and Dong Yunxian to agree. There was no way to disagree, because the arm could not twist the thigh after all.
Du Shaojie didn't know about this until the next day, and he was also helpless.
This approach has its pros and cons. It depends on who is responsible for the operation of the snack bar. If the wrong person is entrusted, I'm afraid that the signboard that everyone has worked so hard to build will be ruined.
Today's [Spicy Chicken] is still selling well, and even [Big Plate Chicken Belt Noodles] and [Cold Noodles] are very popular.
Yao Liwen came here at noon, walked around inside and outside, and felt very distressed.
"Master Dong, Master Zhong, Master Du, come to my office after dinner, let's have a meeting."
During the meal, Yao Liwen said a word and turned away.
Today's preparations are very thorough, so there is no need to work overtime at noon. Du Shaojie was still thinking about going to Lihua Street at noon, but he had to have a meeting again, which made him speechless.
To be honest, if it weren't for the "Special Level 3 Chef" qualification examination next year, he wouldn't want to do it.
After dinner, several people came to Yao Liwen's office.
"That's the matter. The bureau has made a decision. There's no need to say anything useless. We only need to solve one problem in the meeting, that is, who will be sent to take charge of the snack bar?"
A group of young people with no catering work experience can't support the snack bar, so people need to be sent from the Chinese restaurant.
There must be someone responsible for management, and there must be business backbones.
Although the status of the state-owned unit employees remains unchanged, who would be willing to work in a de facto collective unit? Yao Liwen was almost worried to death, but if this problem was not solved, the establishment of a snack bar would become a joke.
"Why don't I go?"
Zhong Fuxiang has always been very conscious, and he was a later unit, so he took the initiative to volunteer.
Yao Liwen smiled at him politely and did not express his opinion immediately.
Du Shaojie didn't understand that he was waiting for him. But to be honest, it was most appropriate for him to go to the snack bar.
[Big plate of chicken belt noodles] is his innovative dish, and he is also responsible for the seasoning of the [cold noodles]. The most popular [pepper and sesame chicken] is made according to his secret recipe. If he doesn't go, who will go?
"I'll go to the snack bar, but I have a condition. The position of the second stove in the Chinese restaurant must be reserved for me. I still have to go to the stove when I have time. I can't lose my skills."
Du Shaojie knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he might as well take the initiative.
He said that he was willing to go to the snack bar, but Yao Liwen had to reserve the position of the second stove for him. This is not because of how high his ideological awareness is, but because he needs the opportunity to cook on the stove.
"Haha. No problem, no problem. In the future, the Chinese restaurant will always keep the stove for you. If you want to show off your skills, come. When it's busy, you can do whatever you want and arrange it yourself."
Yao Liwen was overjoyed and immediately agreed to Du Shaojie's conditions.
In fact, he still felt it was a pity. Zhong Fuxiang was old, and Dong Yunxian became the head chef. Only Du Shaojie was the most worthy of training.
However, we should get through the current difficulties first, and we can slowly think of ways in the future.
It was decided that the snack bar was chosen on the first floor of the hotel's annex building. The location was only about 20 meters away from the Chinese restaurant, and the entrance was still on the main street.
Later, the lobby and kitchen of the snack bar began to be renovated, and it was planned to open after the National Day.
Du Shaojie was free, and he had been officially appointed as the person in charge of the snack bar. The three snacks in the Chinese restaurant were still being sold, and naturally he was also responsible.
Taking advantage of this opportunity of change, Dong Yunxian and Zhong Fuxiang transferred their apprentices to Guangyuan Hotel respectively. Yu Jianxin entered the Chinese restaurant, and Dong Jun would follow Du Shaojie to the snack bar.
"Brother Dong."
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, Master Du, just call me by my name."
The two met again after a few years, and both Du Shaojie and Dong Jun had changed a lot.
Not to mention Du Shaojie, Dong Jun had actually made great progress.
Dong Jun is now a second-level chef. In the future, he will be mainly responsible for frying big plate chicken in the snack bar. There is also a ramen chef. In addition to their daily work, they also have training tasks. The training targets are a group of young people in the labor service agency.
"Brother Dong, today you will learn to make [big plate chicken] from me. If you have any questions, just ask. You will have to fry it yourself later."
Near noon, Du Shaojie fried a few pots of [big plate chicken].
While cooking, he kept instructing Dong Jun, and told him all the key points and precautions of making it without reservation.
Dong Jun took note of it carefully and planned to try it later.
In the afternoon, Du Shaojie began to fry the spices and grind them into particles, and then put them into bags.
These spice bags are all used to make [pepper and sesame chicken]. In a few days, he prepared a month's supply under normal circumstances.
Huang Tingting and Xiao Jianjun will go to the snack bar with him, while Deng Gang and the other three will stay in the Chinese restaurant. Not to mention, the two, especially Huang Tingting, are very talented in making [pepper and sesame chicken]. They can understand it at a glance and learn it at once.
In the future, Du Shaojie only needs to provide the spice packs, and the rest of the work can be handed over to the two of them. He is the person in charge of the snack bar, a leader of all sizes, and no one cares whether he works or not.
In the past two days, about 20 young people came from the labor service center. Those who act as waiters were trained by Dong Yunxian, and a few followed the ramen chef to learn.
The rest of the people were trained by Huang Tingting and Xiao Jianjun to familiarize themselves with the work in the back kitchen. Someone has to do all kinds of work, right?
This morning.
Du Shaojie was busy in the back kitchen, and Liao Yongxin suddenly came to him.
"Master, when did you come back?"
"I just got off the train last night, and I came to see you after I had enough sleep. I heard that you are doing well now, and you are an official?"
"Yes, a small official. The bureau leader had a whim to open a snack bar, mainly selling [cold noodles], [big plate chicken belt noodles] and [pepper chicken], and let me be in charge."
"It's actually quite good to run a snack bar now! Are you done? If you are done, go to your house and sit for a while."
Du Shaojie didn't care whether he was done or not. Unless he took the initiative to take the order, there would be no work tasks.
He went to the kitchen to tell Dong Jun something, then he carried half a [Spicy Chicken] and went home with Liao Yongxin.
No one was home at the moment. Wang Yuxiu went to the small shop on Lihua Street, and Xiaoya hadn't finished school yet.
"Master, have a drink yourself. I have to go to work so I won't accompany you."
"It's okay, I'll drink mine. I met my master in Guangzhou this time. He is old, but in good spirits. He opened a Sichuan restaurant in Chinatown over there. The business is very big, and he wants me to help."
Liao Yongxin ate and drank, and he started talking, with a lot of emotion.
He and his master were like father and son, and all the complaints in the past disappeared the moment they met.
The master was doing well abroad and had his own business. He wanted Liao Yongxin to help him, which was actually giving his apprentice a chance. Going abroad is a big deal these days. If you can go abroad, I don't know how many people will envy you to death.
"Congratulations, Master! This is a great thing. How many people want to go out but have no way. When you get rich in your old age, you must help your apprentice."
Du Shaojie pretended to bow his hands, but he was still happy for him.
If nothing else, it was for the reunion of Liao Yongxin and his apprentice (father and son).
"You idiot, are you making fun of me? I tell you, I rejected the master at that time. At my age, do I have to leave my hometown? It's hard to leave my hometown. I'd rather spend more time with my family."
Liao Yongxin picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
For many years, he and his family have been apart for more than a year, and he already felt guilty. Now he is asked to leave his family and go abroad, but he won't do it.
As for how good life is abroad and how much money he can make, he doesn't care at all.
With his skills, he can open a small restaurant in his hometown after retirement and still have delicious food and spicy drinks. Who cares?
Du Shaojie sincerely admired Liao Yongxin's carefreeness. If it were someone else, wouldn't he have cried and followed his master to the other side of the ocean?
Everyone has their own way of living, and it's hard to say clearly.
"Master, what are your plans after you come back?"
Du Shaojie saw a trace of sadness in Liao Yongxin's eyes. The other party was separated from the master this time, and it was uncertain whether they would meet again in the future.
He immediately changed the subject, not wanting to make Liao Yongxin sad.
"I plan to retire. I will go to see Director Chen at work tomorrow. My length of service far exceeds the regulations, and I am still a few years away from the age. I can also apply for retirement with some concessions.
If it really doesn't work, I will prepare to take a long sick leave and go back to my hometown to rest for a few months. In short, I don't want to spend my days in the cafeteria anymore."
Liao Yongxin planned to retire and return to his hometown. On the one hand, he could spend more time with his family, and on the other hand, he could open a small restaurant or something to accumulate some family business for his children and grandchildren.
He thought it was a good idea, but there were still many subsequent troubles about whether to go abroad.
After seeing Liao Yongxin off, Du Shaojie saw Su Dapeng at the door of the restaurant. Su Dapeng had just arrived, and the two of them bumped into each other.
