The [Big Plate Chicken] specialty store has many repeat customers, while some customers who come here for its reputation often don't know which one is authentic and which restaurant to go to for dinner.
This is the diversion effect, at least in the short term, the impact is still quite large.
Du Shaojie was determined to bring Luo Gang and Tian Feiyu to stir-fry [Big Plate Chicken] every noon. The old customers in the store have discovered this problem, and it seems that the level of food in this store has improved a lot.
In the final analysis, the ultimate thing to look at when opening a restaurant is the quality of the food, whether the ingredients are good or not, how good the taste is, rather than just looking at which one has the lowest price.
Du Shaojie remembers that the "Five Yuan Stir-Fry" and "Eight Yuan Stir-Fry" were popular for a while in his previous life, but they fell into decline soon.
The key is that the quality of the dishes is worrying. In order to save costs, what tricks are there in secret? Consumers are not fools, and they all choose to vote with their feet in the end.
His philosophy is to use good ingredients to make delicious dishes.
In the short term, the turnover of the [Da Pan Ji] specialty store has been on a downward trend. Now, let alone customers waiting for seats, it is good if the occupancy rate can exceed 70%.
It was not until half a month later that the store's turnover stopped falling and stabilized.
After half a month of teaching by words and deeds, Luo Gang and Tian Feiyu's skill level in frying [Da Pan Ji] has made great progress.
Although there are fifteen or sixteen [Da Pan Ji] stores in this area, no one can compare to them in terms of chef skills.
This is easy to understand. After all, it is a small restaurant. Where can you hire a professional chef? Chefs who come from the wild are almost the same.
After two years, the situation will change a little with the chefs of state-owned restaurants going into business and the changes in the chef training system.
But no matter what, small restaurants can't afford good chefs.
"Luo Gang, Tian Feiyu, Master Dong doesn't have that much free time, and the store still depends mainly on you two. Work hard, and when the benefits are improved, I will give you more bonuses."
Du Shaojie will not easily touch the salary, but the bonus can be more flexible.
If you want people to work hard, you have to pay more money. This is both a simple cognition and the truth.
At night.
Du Shaojie plans to enter the simulation scene and practice the dish [Big Plate Chicken] again, and strive to make a breakthrough.
However, when he took the chef level test before, he took a "shortcut" in the examination room, which consumed a lot of exchange points and time. Now there is really not much remaining time.
[Exchange points: 4619 points\4866 points]
[Time: 2900 hours\70996 hours]
The next day.
Du Shaojie is still running between the [Big Plate Chicken] store and the private restaurant, but he only stayed in the [Big Plate Chicken] store for an hour and then left.
Business has bottomed out and rebounded, so there is no need to be too anxious.
Back in the office of the private restaurant, he had just sat down for less than two minutes when the phone rang.
He picked up the receiver and heard a woman's voice.
"Hello! Please call Boss Du for me."
"It's me. What can I do for you?"
"Hello, hello! Boss Du, this is Mu Xiaolian, remember me? I'm calling to ask if your restaurant needs to buy dried seafood?"
The image of a beautiful girl emerged in Du Shaojie's mind. Of course he remembered this, but he was too busy recently and didn't care about these trivial matters.
In fact, Mu Xiaolian called twice during this period, but he was not there both times.
"I remember you. If it's convenient for you, please send 10 kilograms of dried sea cucumbers and 10 kilograms of dried abalone over, and pay on delivery. Let's make it clear first, the goods you send must be of the same quality as the ones I bought that day, is that okay?"
"No problem, no problem, I'll send it to you now."
After hanging up the phone, Du Shaojie didn't take it to heart.
They were just doing normal business. He would have to go to the snack bar to reconcile the accounts later, and he would just have to tell Zhang Qigong about it later.
But what he didn't expect was that Mu Xiaolian came very quickly. In less than an hour, he met her in the lobby on the first floor.
Mu Xiaolian was wearing a thick coat today, and the whole person looked a little bloated, but it couldn't hide her unique temperament. She is not the kind of pure type, but she will reveal a hint of charm from time to time.
Du Shaojie greeted the other party politely, then checked the goods, and asked someone to call Zhang Qigong over.
"Old Zhang, you can take these things to the warehouse. The price is still the price I bought last time. I will settle the bill for them later. Xiao Mu, I have something else to do. See you later."
"Ah, goodbye, Boss Du."
This was the first time that Mu Xiaolian came to a private restaurant. She thought that Du Shaojie's restaurant was just an ordinary restaurant, but she didn't expect that its scale and environment were beyond her expectations.
The business was successfully done, so she was naturally very happy, but it was a pity that Boss Du didn't want to talk to her and left as soon as they met.
"Boss? Bullshit boss, no matter where I go now, I still rely on two wheels?"
In the early days of reform and opening up, external information began to pour in, and people's concepts were gradually changing.
Mu Xiaolian's family was in the seafood dry goods business. Her mother had to go to the south from time to time to purchase goods, and she also learned the title of "boss".
In fact, this name is not common in the local area, far from being saturated.
Du Shaojie rode his bicycle and couldn't help but laugh at himself. He is not eligible to buy a car now. Cars these days are not sold to individuals.
Besides, Santana has not even come off the assembly line yet, so there is no one to buy. In
1980, the total amount of national foreign exchange reserves was (-1.296 billion) dollars. Buying an imported car? Don't even think about it. When
he arrived at the snack bar, Du Shaojie found that someone was waiting for him.
"Uncle Chu? When did you come? Why didn't you ask them to call me so that I could come earlier."
The person who came was Chu Xiaowei. When they were at Laolonghe Farm, Du Shaojie and Chu Xiaowei had always had a good relationship, but he contacted less after he returned to the city.
"I just arrived too. They said you would come before work in the afternoon. Why are you calling? I don't have anything urgent."
Chu Xiaowei laughed, still the same as before, not feeling strange because of not seeing each other for a long time.
Du Shaojie asked him to sit for a while. He quickly checked the accounts with the finance department, and then took him to Chunfeng Lane.
Since he had guests today, he would not go to the private restaurant. Before leaving, he called Zhong Fuxiang to tell him.
"Why didn't Aunt Qin come with you? How is she now?"
After returning home, Du Shaojie cooked a few dishes, and then took Chu Xiaowei to the next yard to drink.
He basically has no contact with the farm now, so he knows almost nothing about the other party's recent situation.
"She is still the same, just hanging around in the cafeteria. Some time ago, the Hongshanzui Power Plant was expanded, and I was transferred to the factory security department. I just went to a new working environment and was busy all day long. I didn't have time to come to see you until today."
Chu Xiaowei and Du Shaojie clinked glasses and slowly opened up.
His current job has also changed. He was transferred from the farm to the power plant, which can be regarded as moving to the city.
However, his wife Qin Xiaomei could not be transferred with him. He first stood firm on his feet, and then started to work on this matter. Today, he happened to be on his day off, so he went to the bureau to find Chen Jizhou.
After coming out of the bureau, he thought about not meeting Du Shaojie for a long time, so he went to the snack bar.
"What did Director Chen say?"
Du Shaojie felt that Chen Jizhou should help with this. After all, when he was on the farm, Chu Xiaowei took good care of him. When he was sick, it was thanks to Chu Xiaowei driving a tractor to take Chen Jizhou and Du Shaojie to the highway.
After Chen Jizhou resumed work, Chu Xiaowei and his wife never went to see each other.
Chu Xiaowei's transfer to the power plant had nothing to do with Chen Jizhou, but was helped by Zhao Dajun.
"Director Chen said he could ask about the transfer, but it's hard to find a receiving unit now. My wife didn't have many years of education and doesn't have a chef certificate. The canteen of the agency and the subordinate units are unwilling to accept her.
I had no choice but to come to you, Master Du, can you talk to the manager of Guangyuan Hotel and let my wife go to the Chinese restaurant to do odd jobs? As long as they are willing to accept her, it will help me a lot."
Chu Xiaowei didn't have many connections in the bureau, but it was not a big deal for the couple to be separated all the time, so he thought of Du Shaojie.
Du Shaojie is now a "celebrity" in the bureau. He not only contracted the snack bar, but also became a top chef. Chu Xiaowei wanted to ask him.
"Why go to such trouble? Go back and tell Director Chen that the snack bar is willing to accept her. Aunt Qin's pastries are so good, I really need such a person here."
Du Shaojie and Chu Xiaowei have a close relationship, and they immediately patted their chests.
Although the snack bar is a collective unit, it does not affect its acceptance of state-owned unit employees. This includes himself, Zhong Fuxiang, Dong Jun and others. As long as the other party is willing, it's fine.
"That's great! Thank you, Master Du, I'll toast you a glass."
"Who are we? You're welcome."
After the two agreed, Chu Xiaowei turned back and went to find Chen Jizhou.
Chen Jizhou didn't say much and directly transferred Qin Xiaomei from the farm and arranged her in the snack bar.
Qin Xiaomei is good at making pasta, whether it is steamed buns, dumplings, pancakes, various snacks or ramen, she is a master at all.
Du Shaojie personally led her to make bone soup and chili chili sauce for a few days, and she can do it well.
"Jianjun, Aunt Qin has worked in the cafeteria for a lifetime. She may not be able to cook, but she will definitely have no problem making snacks and breakfast. What are your plans? You can tell me now."
Du Shaojie felt that Qin Xiaomei could replace Xiao Jianjun after getting familiar with the food for a while.
Xiao Jianjun was always jealous of other people who followed Du Shaojie to make money outside, such as Luo Gang and Tian Feiyu. It was said that their salary plus bonus was much more than that in the snack bar.
Therefore, after settling Qin Xiaomei, he had a talk with Xiao Jianjun.
"Manager Du, I just want to follow you to work outside, and I will do whatever you ask me to do."
Xiao Jianjun was indeed very obedient. Du Shaojie usually asked the other party for help when he had some private matters.
He thought about it and felt that the other party was different from Huang Tingting. At least he had to have a skill to rely on. So, he asked Xiao Jianjun to follow Zhong Fuxiang, and it was up to him to see how much he could learn.
Zhong Fuxiang didn't care. Those kitchen workers were obviously not promising talents. Xiao Jianjun had a good foundation and could be his assistant. (End of this chapter)
