"Is Gaodi Street busy?"
"Busy! There are people selling clothes, cloth, and a lot of self-employed people. When I went to buy clothes, I heard them say that in two months, a clothing market will be officially established there, and business will be even better then."
"Not bad, I guess many people doing clothing business from all over the country will go there to purchase goods in the future, it would be strange if their business is not good."
The brother and sister talked a lot, Du Shaojie had already filled his stomach, Xiaoya had taken away the dishes and was washing them in the kitchen.
He found that Xiaomei had made great progress in all aspects after a year of college life.
Yangcheng in the south is a bridgehead for reform and opening up, and perhaps it was because she was exposed to more new things that she completed a fundamental transformation.
Two days later, Qi Yan also returned home.
Manager Ma happened to inform Du Shaojie that the self-built house near the central blood station had been completed and asked him to go for acceptance.
So he took his whole family, plus Su Dapeng and Qi Yan, to take a look.
"Shaojie, you are amazing. You did such a big thing behind my back."
The beautiful small second floor, plus a large yard, was inspiring to look at.
But Su Dapeng's feelings were complicated. He also made a lot of money, but he didn't think of buying a house outside. Although he didn't want to admit it, the fact was the fact. He was indeed not as good as others in many aspects.
"My house was built according to the standards of a restaurant. The lobby is on the first floor, the private rooms are on the second floor, and the kitchen is in the backyard."
Du Shaojie inspected the house while accompanying everyone to visit it inside and out.
The quality of the entire project was impeccable. He immediately signed the acceptance form and agreed to pay the balance in two days.
Qi Yan stood in the yard, staring at the small second floor in front of her.
This vacation brought her a lot of shock. Du Shaojie first demolished his two yards and rebuilt them, and then he allocated land to build a small second floor.
Although she didn't know how much it would cost, it was definitely not a small amount.
In just a few years, has the other party become so strong?
"Yanzi, what are you daydreaming about? Let's go and have dinner together."
The Central Blood Station is quite far from Chunfeng Lane. After a busy morning, it was almost time for dinner.
Du Shaojie planned to take everyone to eat outside. When he turned around, he saw Qi Yan standing there stupidly.
He walked over and patted her, which scared Qi Yan.
"It's okay, it's okay. Is there anything delicious nearby?"
Qi Yan's expression was a little unnatural, but she covered it up cleverly.
Du Shaojie had been here several times recently and knew that there was a noodle restaurant not far away. Their fried pork noodles were quite good.
As soon as he said it, everyone responded positively.
"Let's go!"
Du Shaojie locked the door and took them to eat.
After dinner, the group took the bus back to Chunfeng Lane.
Qi Yan and Du Shaojie and others separated in the alley. She was going to see Liang Meiqin and said she would come to see Du Shaojie tomorrow.
Du Shaojie went home to rest for a while, and then rode his bike to the snack bar.
Everyone was very idle in the afternoon. Xiao Jianjun's team had already left work. Huang Tingting's team had already prepared the [Spicy Chicken] to be sold in the afternoon. Two people stayed at their posts, and the others left one after another.
Dong Jun's team was similar. Since they did not provide dinner, they did not have much to do in the afternoon.
However, Dong Jun was more responsible and often used his free time to guide everyone's cooking skills. Now there are at least four or five people in their team who can cook independently and are fully capable of cooking [Big Plate Chicken] and other fast food stir-fries.
"Manager Du, I want to tell you something. People in the unit are now restless and are looking forward to studying abroad. To be honest, I also want to go. Who doesn't want to make more money, right?"
At more than six o'clock, all kinds of snacks in the snack bar were sold out.
Du Shaojie counted the accounts with the finance department, and then sat in the office with Dong Jun to drink tea and chat.
Dong Jun said that since Director Huang came that day, everyone has been saying that the income of those who go out to study is much higher than everyone else. Some people are asking how to get such a good job?
To be honest, even he was a little tempted.
Dong Jun is not young anymore. He has been having a hot relationship with Yang Li from the Chinese restaurant of Guangyuan Hotel for a while. They are already talking about marriage.
Marriage requires money, so his words today are also tentative.
"Haha, Brother Dong, you are now the mainstay of the snack bar. If you leave, no one can replace you. However, I also have something to discuss with you.
I built a small second floor over in the center of the bloody battle, which is the most suitable for opening a restaurant. I plan to open a [Big Plate Chicken] specialty store, specializing in this dish. What do you think?"
Du Shaojie's idea is to open a [Big Plate Chicken] specialty store, with at most a few side dishes in addition to the main dish, without so many tricks.
When it comes to [Big Plate Chicken], apart from himself, Dong Jun is the best cook now. As far as this dish is concerned, his master Zhong Fuxiang is not necessarily better than him.
There is nothing else, just that he has become proficient in making it every day. The key is Du Shaojie's advice, how can it not be amazing?
Not to mention Dong Jun, at least four or five people in their team can cook this dish well.
There are many chefs who come from outside and only have a few specialties, but they still make a living. As the saying goes, one trick can make you eat everywhere, and they can make a living outside with just this one trick.
"Of course that's good! However, I have to watch over the snack bar in the morning and at noon. Even if you open a [Big Plate Chicken] specialty store, I don't have time to help."
Dong Jun thought the other party's idea was very good. [Big Plate Chicken] is a dish that suits the taste of local people. Three or four friends order a chicken, a few cold dishes, and a few drinks. Isn't it too comfortable.
Unfortunately, he can't go and can't make more money.
"Won't it be okay in the afternoon? Calculate the sales volume in the future, and close the snack bar before 5 pm every day. After it opens, if you are willing, go and watch every night, and I will give you a separate salary."
Du Shaojie plans to transfer a few people from Dong Jun's team to open a [Big Plate Chicken] store. With these people as the backbone of the business, the framework of the new store will be set up.
Anyway, it's lunch and dinner. For lunch, the "apprentice" taught by Dong Jun can cook, and Dong Jun will be in charge of dinner. There should be no problem.
"Of course I am willing. I have everything now, but I lack money."
Dong Jun is not afraid of hard work, but he is afraid that his wedding will be too shabby.
Du Shaojie smiled to show his understanding. He had also come from a difficult environment and knew what it felt like to be short of money.
"That's settled. You'll be busy when I'm done."
Du Shaojie stood up, patted Dong Jun on the shoulder, and left.
He was relatively free now. Both the snack bar and the [Dezhou Braised Chicken] shop were on the right track, and he basically didn't have to worry about them.
Su Dapeng and Dong Jun were both very capable, so he felt at ease to be a hands-off boss.
The next day.
Du Shaojie got up and prepared to go shopping. As long as the staff were in place, the [Da Pan Ji] specialty store could open at any time.
"Shaojie, are you going to work?"
He pushed his bicycle out the door and ran into Qi Yan.
"The new house can't be empty all the time. I'm going to open a new store."
Du Shaojie then told him about his plan. Qi Yan had nothing to do, so she took the initiative to ask to go with him.
So, he took Qi Yan on his bicycle to buy tables, chairs, and benches first, and then pots and pans. As for the various spices and condiments, there is no need to rush. The snack bar has a supply channel. Just tell them and they will deliver it.
After buying the things, they hired two flatbed trucks and sent them directly to the second floor.
Du Shaojie arrived first with Qi Yan on his bike. They waited for a long time before the goods were delivered.
The tables, chairs and benches were put in place directly. The lobby was opened temporarily, and the private rooms upstairs would be opened when business picked up. The cooking utensils and tableware were piled in the kitchen and would be cleaned up after everyone arrived.
"Are you hungry?"
"It's okay, not very hungry."
"Let's go eat first. I'll take you home after dinner. I still have to go to work."
"No need for you to take me home. I can take the bus directly back."
After a busy morning, it was almost lunchtime.
Du Shaojie and Qi Yan each ate a bowl of mixed noodles, and then separated at the bus stop.
The next day.
Four kitchen staff and two waiters from Dong Jun's team came to the new store, and all the people from Xiao Jianjun's team also came to help. It is easier
to get things done with more people. It only took half a day to clean up the place inside and out, and even the plaque that Du Shaojie customized in advance was hung up.
In the morning, Qi Yan, Xiao Mei and Xiao Ya all came over. They couldn't help with other things, but they could still help with cleaning.
At noon, everyone was treated to a hand-held meal, and the people in Xiao Jianjun's team withdrew first.
"Luo Gang, you will be responsible for the back kitchen in the future. Master Dong will listen to you when he comes, so you can't let him down."
Du Shaojie appointed the person in charge of the back kitchen. If this were put in a big restaurant, it would be the role of the head chef.
There are two waiters, one of whom is also responsible for issuing invoices and cashiering. The business money is handed in once or twice a day. If Du Shaojie is not here, it will be locked in the iron cabinet upstairs. Anyway, someone sleeps here, so there is no need to worry about it being lost.
When it is too busy in the future, a full-time cashier will be arranged. This is the case for the time being.
On the opening day, Du Shaojie set off a string of firecrackers at the door of the store and then opened the door to welcome customers.
It's just a small restaurant, there is no need to pay attention to any pomp and circumstance, as long as it is lively enough.
Due to the gimmick of offering 20% off for the opening, quite a few people came to eat at noon. Originally, they wanted to save money and try something new, but they didn't expect that the [Big Plate Chicken] tasted quite good.
Du Shaojie didn't cook himself, the chefs were Luo Gang and Tian Feiyu.
Strictly speaking, these two people are Dong Jun's apprentices and Du Shaojie's grand-disciples, but they didn't formally become apprentices, and they still talk about their own things.
Du Shaojie stayed in the kitchen throughout the whole lunch, giving instructions and checking the whole process, which made Luo Gang and Tian Feiyu very nervous, fearing that they would be scolded if they made any mistakes.
Dong Jun also came to the store after work in the afternoon. In theory, it would be busier in the evening, and if he was too busy, he would cook himself. (End of this chapter)
