Chapter 222 Business is booming
"Xiao Du, your restaurant is not suitable for large banquets, which is a pity. But I still support your idea. Continue to maintain the quality of pure traditional Sichuan cuisine, and the business will definitely be good."
A few days passed quickly.
The business of [Xichuan Restaurant] has improved significantly, and the internal operation is on the right track.
Liao Yongxin's nephew Yan Dabao came as promised, and Du Shaojie tried the dishes himself and was very satisfied. The other party's special second-level chef level is not watered, he is very spiritual in cooking, and his personality is relatively honest.
Du Shaojie planned to go to Shenzhen, and before leaving, he and Liang Meiqin came to visit Director Luo.
Director Luo was very happy, not because Du Shaojie came to see him, but because [Xichuan Hotel] has always adhered to the concept of "pure Sichuan cuisine".
"Director Luo, I will remember what you said. In fact, it is difficult for us to meet the needs of every guest in the restaurant, so we have to screen customers over time and stick to our own characteristics."
The two chatted happily, and Liang Meiqin just listened quietly and rarely spoke.
She knew very well why Du Shaojie brought her here again. When he left Yangcheng, she would have to maintain some relationships on her own.
The most important thing was to maintain a good relationship with Director Luo.
"Xiao Liang, if you encounter a problem that you can't solve in the future, just call me. I still have some face in the province and the city, and I should be able to help you."
Director Luo had talked enough with Du Shaojie, and then turned his head to look at Liang Meiqin.
This sentence was equivalent to a promise, and Liang Meiqin hurriedly stood up to thank him.
Later, Du Shaojie and Liang Meiqin said goodbye and left. After walking a long way, Liang Meiqin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Meiqin, [Xichuan Restaurant] will be handed over to you and the master. Work hard and don't be afraid of making mistakes. I will cover you."
Du Shaojie believed in his own vision. He felt that as long as Liang Meiqin did something seriously, she would be able to do it well.
This girl is a typical soft-hearted and strong-willed person, so she doesn't need to worry too much.
The next day.
Du Shaojie came to Shenzhen. Before he entered the [Nancheng Seafood Restaurant], a burst of noise hit him.
It was almost dusk. The door of the seafood restaurant was full of tables and chairs. The seats were full and the business was booming!
He walked around and walked in from the gate of the yard.
"Boss, you are here?"
Qian Bo was sitting on duty. When he saw Du Shaojie, he ran out immediately.
"Qian Bo, I just arrived. You are busy with yours. I will go upstairs to take a look."
Du Shaojie greeted Qian Bo and went directly to the third floor to put down his bag before going to the store.
Needless to say, everyone in the kitchen was busy. Zhang Yufei was not idle either. Not only did she have to greet customers, but she also had to arrange waiters to do this and that. When she was too busy, she had to personally deal with customers' orders.
The seafood restaurant is now famous, and such scenes can be seen almost every day.
Du Shaojie is very satisfied. Now the three restaurants in Guangdong Province, the barbecue restaurant, Xichuan Restaurant and the seafood restaurant are on the fast track of development, which can bring him a steady stream of cash every day.
Business was easy to do in those days, not as competitive as it is in later times.
He took a look around, and suddenly felt itchy, so he changed into a chef's uniform and went to the kitchen.
"Boss, are you here?"
"Hello, Manager Du!"
The one who called the boss was an external employee, and the one who called Manager Du was an employee from Xijiang. There were also a few people with confused faces, who were employees hired later, and they didn't even know what the boss looked like.
"Master Zhang, Master Chen, Master Fang, you have worked hard! If you have any other dishes, give me the order and I will make a few."
Du Shaojie didn't have time to greet everyone. He greeted Zhang Yong, Chen Zhiheng, and Fang Kun, and went straight to the stove.
He occupied Fang Kun's workstation, took a look at the order, and started to stir-fry [Spicy Clams].
Soon, more than an hour passed, and Du Shaojie realized that there were no new orders at hand.
"Boss, it's a pleasure to watch you cook every time. It's a pity that my level is too low, otherwise I can learn more. I don't know which customers are so lucky to eat the dishes made by the boss himself."
Chen Zhiheng is very good at speaking, and he flatters the boss without making a sound.
Du Shaojie laughed and felt that he was in good shape today. Every dish he made was a fine product.
It's just that the seafood restaurant is a low-end route with a relatively affordable price, so some high-end seafood dishes are not available, and he has no chance to practice.
After the meal, the employees started to eat. It was already very late.
"Manager Du, we are too busy during this period. We don't have enough staff. How about hiring a few more people?"
During the meal, Xiao Jianjun had time to discuss some things with Du Shaojie.
These things are only for him as a manager to worry about. The chef in the back kitchen only cooks. If there is a shortage of people or materials, just ask Xiao Jianjun.
Fortunately, Zhang Yong supports his work very much. With Zhang Yong's support, he can sit in the position of manager safely. To put it bluntly, Xiao Jianjun's qualifications are too shallow and he can't control people.
However, Du Shaojie believes that after another year or two of training, Xiao Jianjun will become a qualified manager.
"Well, let me transfer a group of people from my hometown. Jianjun, you don't know that most people are willing to develop in the south, I have to give them a chance, right?"
Du Shaojie called back a few days ago, and Dong Jun said that there are still many employees who are eager to come to the south.
Now the first and second branches are all experienced people, and they don't need so many people.
He began to divert personnel in a planned manner. Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, it is based on the principle of voluntariness. At the same time, he is also constantly accepting unemployed young people in the bureau. At present, the total number of employees in the snack bar has exceeded 100.
Now these people are still bound by the framework of collective enterprises. After a few years, when everyone understands that the identity of collective enterprise employees is nothing, they will probably flock to the south.
As for whether someone will change jobs, Du Shaojie is too lazy to think about this issue.
As long as the restaurant is bigger and stronger, isn’t it normal for someone to come and go? As long as the backbone can be retained.
At night.
Du Shaojie met with Zhang Yong, Xiao Jianjun, Zhang Yufei, Bai Cheng and others in the tea room on the third floor.
When fellow villagers meet, in addition to tea, there is also beer to cheer them up.
"Master Zhang, how are you?"
Du Shaojie first asked Zhang Yong. In the catering industry, skills are king, and Zhang Yong is currently the one with the highest status in the seafood restaurant.
The "status" mentioned here is different from the position, and everyone understands.
"I'm basically familiar with the environment here, and I have a clear understanding of the cooking techniques of seafood. I can basically replicate the seafood dishes made by Master Chen and Master Fang, and even do better."
Zhang Yong is a special second-level chef, and his level is there.
He was just not very good at making seafood before, but it doesn't mean he can't. He has already learned all the dry goods in Chen Zhiheng and Fang Kun's stomach without making a sound.
Therefore, even if Chen and Fang are now quitting, he can still take up the main responsibility.
"Very good! It's not that I don't believe in Master Chen and Master Fang, but it takes time to thoroughly understand a person. As long as they are of the same mind as us, I will definitely classify him as one of my own after a while."
Du Shaojie likes to spare no effort to cultivate talents, but he will never cultivate talents for others.
After the information bombardment in his previous life, he can't bet on human nature.
Which industry doesn't poach people? If you don't have a backup plan, the chef who heads the kitchen is poached, it will even affect the operation of the entire seafood restaurant.
Zhang Yong and his people will not be poached for the time being, because they are bound by the status of employees of state-owned units and collective units, and they are all from Xijiang, so it is unlikely that they will lose the big picture for the small.
Of course, Du Shaojie will not treat them unfairly. Salaries and bonuses are paid according to the high local standards, which is the most practical. After Du Shaojie
understood the internal situation of the seafood restaurant, he asked everyone to go back and rest. After a busy day, everyone would feel tired, and they were all sleepy.
"Yufei, is there something?"
Zhang Yufei hesitated until the end, and Du Shaojie asked with a smile.
"Nothing, I want to wash your dirty clothes. Xiaotong and the others are still waiting."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you all. I'll buy some small gifts for everyone later to show my gratitude."
Du Shaojie did not refuse. Except for his underwear, he let Zhang Yufei take away all the dirty clothes he had taken off.
To be honest, he took the train and the car all day, and he cooked in the kitchen when he arrived at the field. He really didn't want to wash clothes again.
Before going to bed, he took stock of his gains in recent times.
Including tonight, he made a total of 20 dishes with a comprehensive evaluation of "fragrant ten miles away".
[Bound chef: Du Shaojie]
[Level: Special Level 3 chef]
[Current work: Spicy clams and other dishes (×20)]
[Comprehensive evaluation: fragrant ten miles away]
[Bonus: Simulated chef skills competition duration (60,000 hours)]
[Reward: Exchange points (6,000 points), simulated training duration (60,000 hours)]
[Special reward: None]
[Exchange points: 29,918 points\49,266 points]
[Duration: 361,000 hours\878,996 hours]
The consumption recently is not large. Du Shaojie is busy with the restaurant during the day and busy doing double sports with Mikoto at night, which only consumes 2,000 hours.
So his remaining time and exchange points have increased significantly.
The value of the exchange points is about 3 million yuan, a very scary number. For example, the total investment in Donghu Garden, where Liang Meiqin lives now, is only 10.8 million yuan. It's a
pity that he doesn't know much about investment and financial management in his two lifetimes, and his only hobby is investing in real estate.
But it is regrettable that there are very few real estate transactions now, and land auctions have not started. The operation method of buying land through Cai Jing can only be done once, and there will be problems if it is
done too often. "It seems that I can only wait a little longer, otherwise I will find time to go to Beijing?"
Once this idea came up, it was like a flame igniting the dry grass in autumn, and it was out of control.
In the end, even he himself couldn't tell whether he was going to see Qi Yan or wanted to do something.
In fact, even if he bought a storefront in Beijing, he couldn't replicate the successful experience of Guangzhou and Shenzhen for the time being. Because he was short of staff, he might not be able to recruit suitable personnel locally.
He felt that he had traveled too early. If it was ten years later, it would definitely be much better.
