Chapter 242: Sichuan cuisine to the end
Recently, Du Shaojie has not used the exchange points, but he has consumed a lot of time.
However, there was a lot of remaining time before, so he would not take the slight consumption to heart.
The chef level that he was most concerned about did change on the light screen, from "special third-level chef" to "special second-level chef".
Although the chef certificate has not been obtained, the system has recognized this result.
The next day.
Du Shaojie got up early in the morning, and Wang Yuxiu was just about to go out.
"Mom, don't leave yet, I have something to tell you."
Du Shaojie stopped his mother and hurried to wash up.
After he finished washing up, Wang Yuxiu also bought breakfast from outside.
"Eat first, and talk about anything after dinner."
Wang Yuxiu didn't know what her son wanted to say to her, but she probably had some guesses.
Sure enough, after Du Shaojie put down his chopsticks, he advised her not to worry about business matters and just go to Yangcheng.
"I won't go anywhere. I'm not used to living in a humid and hot place. Besides, I won't have any friends there. I can't even find someone to talk to. I'll get sick."
Wang Yuxiu firmly rejected her son's proposal. She would not leave the place.
Du Shaojie felt that his two sisters were away from home, and he would spend more time in the south in the future. He couldn't bear to let his mother stay alone at home.
But after hearing what she said, it seemed to make sense.
"Son, my body is much stronger now than before, and I can take care of myself. You brothers and sisters are all promising. Do your own things and don't worry about me.
When I get old, I will live with you without you saying anything."
Wang Yuxiu saw that her son was silent for a long time, so she continued.
She didn't have any ambitions. Her life was good now. She just wanted to live a peaceful life.
Wang Yuxiu was busy every day, and she enjoyed it. She didn't want to "enjoy the good life" at all. Instead, she felt very happy now.
"Okay, if you have anything to tell me, you can fly back in a few hours."
Du Shaojie sighed helplessly and stopped the topic.
However, he was still worried, so he went to find Qin Xiaomei and Huang Tingting and asked them to pay more attention to their mother and help take care of her if she had any problems.
In the afternoon,
Du Shaojie called Dong Jun, Yu Jianxin, Luo Gang and others to his office to discuss the new storefront.
"Manager Du, what else is there to discuss? Your own storefront, just let me open a [Da Pan Ji] specialty store."
Dong Jun only had his [Da Pan Ji] specialty store in his mind, and he wished he could have another branch.
Luo Gang thought it would be better to open a Sichuan or Hunan restaurant. The storefront area was large enough and very suitable for a mid-range restaurant.
Yu Jianxin still insisted on his point of view and advocated opening a hot pot restaurant.
"Forget about the [Big Plate Chicken] specialty store. It's so close that it will affect the business of the second branch. After all, the second branch's lunch service focuses on this dish.
As for the Sichuan and Hunan restaurants, we don't have enough talent reserves at present, and the risks are uncontrollable. Hot pot is a good suggestion, but the question is, who has experience?"
Du Shaojie needs to consider more issues. It's easy to open a restaurant, but it's difficult to maintain long-term profitability.
Considering various factors, he is a little difficult to make a decision.
Of course, it's not necessary to do the project yourself. If it doesn't work, you can rent out the storefront.
"Manager Du, Master Liu, who has just been transferred to the Chinese restaurant of Guangyuan Hotel, is very good at making Sichuan cuisine. How about you talk to him? I still think that such a good storefront should open a mid-range restaurant."
Luo Gang has been thinking about what Du Shaojie said, and suddenly thought of a way, that is to poach people.
Guangyuan Hotel Chinese Restaurant is full of talents. There are several top chefs alone, among which Liu Ziwang, who is good at making Sichuan cuisine, is a top three chef.
A master chef who has a master chef will not have as much turnover as an external employee. Wouldn't that solve the problem Du Shaojie is worried about?
Du Shaojie thought this was a good suggestion, and he immediately said to Yu Jianxin: "Master Yu, go back and find Master Dong and ask his opinion."
Yu Jianxin is Dong Yunxian's apprentice, and Dong Yunxian is the person in charge of the Chinese restaurant. It is better to ask for his opinion first.
After all, Du Shaojie and Liu Ziwang are not familiar with each other, and it would be a bit rude to ask him rashly.
Yu Jianxin no longer struggled with the options of "Sichuan restaurant" or "hot pot restaurant", and planned to ask the master first.
The next day. In
the morning.
Yu Jianxin found Dong Yunxian, and indirectly expressed his intention to ask Liu Ziwang to leave.
"Is this what your manager Du meant? This guy simply regards our Chinese restaurant as his talent training base. I have to discuss this matter with Master Liu. If the other party is unwilling, I can't do anything."
Dong Yunxian did not object, and said that he would ask the person concerned for his opinion.
Yu Jianxin nodded repeatedly. Anyway, he had already conveyed the message, and the rest of the matter had nothing to do with him.
Two days passed.
Dong Yunxian called Du Shaojie and said that Liu Ziwang agreed to transfer to [Guangyuan Catering Service Company]. But the other party had a condition, which was that the salary had to be at least doubled compared to the current salary income level.
"Let him come, I'll try his level first. If his level can satisfy me, everything will be fine."
Du Shaojie didn't care about the other party's request. It was normal for people with ability to make requests, but at least the other party's level was worthy of this income.
Since the two were not familiar with each other, Du Shaojie thought he should try the dishes first.
"Okay, I'll talk to him right away."
Dong Yunxian then hung up the phone and notified Liu Ziwang to go to Chunfeng Lane to find Du Shaojie.
Du Shaojie met Liu Ziwang in his private kitchen. The other party was about 37 or 38 years old, of medium build, with a smile on his face, and looked easy to get along with.
Liu Ziwang exchanged a few words with Du Shaojie and began his performance.
He made a [Mapo Tofu] and a [Fish-flavored Shredded Pork] with skillful skills and authentic taste.
Du Shaojie tasted every dish. Liu Ziwang's cooking skills were pretty good, only slightly behind Yan Dabao. If he met a famous chef like Liao Yongxin, he would probably catch up with Yan Dabao soon.
"Master Liu, welcome to join the company. I'm going to open a new Sichuan restaurant. The restaurant is positioned as a mid-range restaurant. If you want, you can go to the Sichuan restaurant as the head chef."
Du Shaojie smiled and shook hands with the other party, and then finalized the salary and benefits.
When Liu Ziwang heard that the salary and benefits were beyond his expectations, he immediately expressed his willingness to work with Du Shaojie.
Du Shaojie then transferred Yu Jianxin and Luo Gang out, and named Huang Tingting to be in charge of [Guangyuan Catering Service Company], and promoted two old people from Chunfengxiang Restaurant and Minzhu Road Restaurant to be in charge of the operation of the two restaurants.
Yu Jianxin and Luo Gang's cooking skills have improved rapidly in the past two years. After learning from Liu Ziwang for a period of time, they should be able to take charge of their own business.
The next step was the busy preliminary preparations, and [Xichuan Restaurant] opened smoothly before New Year's Day.
This restaurant is under the name of [Second Branch of Guangyuan Catering Service Company], but it has its own system in operation and separate accounting.
Yu Jianxin is the manager of [Xichuan Restaurant], Liu Ziwang is in charge of the kitchen, and all other personnel are in place.
At this stage, the projects that Du Shaojie is doing seem a bit miscellaneous, but in fact they are still in his screening process.
[Barbecue Restaurant] is at the low end, but it is not easy to copy, and various disadvantages are also obvious. Therefore, this road is definitely not feasible, but it is a good place for initial personnel placement.
[Seafood Square] has a very advantageous geographical location and can continue to do so. Whether it is suitable for large-scale promotion remains to be seen.
As a representative of traditional Sichuan cuisine, [Xichuan Restaurant] can be successfully copied and is very suitable for becoming a separate brand in the future. The newly opened [Xichuan Restaurant] in Chunfeng Lane is an attempt. Once successful, it can be managed according to the chain operation model.
Du Shaojie already had a complete plan in his mind, but there are too many constraints at present, so he can only develop step by step.
After the new store opened, Du Shaojie stayed in the kitchen for 10 days.
I did nothing but set standards for Liu Ziwang and others. The quality and taste of the dishes should be on par with those of [Xichuan Restaurant] in Guangzhou. There should not be obvious differences between the two restaurants.
This work is very tedious. It is just a start. In the future, it will have to be continued with the support of Liao Yongxin, Yan Dabao and others.
"Manager Du, there is a phone call for you."
In the middle of the month, Du Shaojie was still busy in the back kitchen of the restaurant, and an employee upstairs ran down to call him.
He hurried to the office to answer the phone, and Qin Lu's voice came from the receiver.
"Ajie, haven't you always wanted to buy a storefront? There is a 53-square-meter storefront in Causeway Bay. The owner wants 1.06 million Hong Kong dollars. Are you interested?"
Qin Lu said that the owner bought this storefront 13 years ago at a price of 120,000 Hong Kong dollars. At the peak, someone offered 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars but he didn't sell it.
Now the property market in Hong Kong is sluggish, and the owner is eager to cash out.
The storefronts in Causeway Bay have high rents and higher selling prices, so generally few people are willing to sell.
"Lulu, ask the owner to wait for a few days, I will go there right away."
Du Shaojie didn't say anything and directly agreed to go to Hong Kong.
The next day.
Du Shaojie arranged everything and flew to Guangzhou.
He didn't stop in Guangzhou, and then went to Hong Kong via Shenzhen.
Qin Lu has been busy recently and often has to run between Hong Kong and Shenzhen, so she asked Manager Jiang of the real estate agency to accompany Du Shaojie to see the house.
"Manager Jiang, this is not the first time we have dealt with each other. Tell me the truth, is it possible for the owner to lower the price to less than 1 million Hong Kong dollars?"
Du Shaojie looked at the storefront and found that the location was very good.
He planned to buy it, but he still had to bargain with the other party.
Manager Jiang didn't say anything, but calculated carefully and gave a reference price of 990,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Du Shaojie understood it in his heart, and when he met the owner later, he had been working towards this goal. The owner is currently short of money, and after more than an hour of arguing, he finally agreed to the price.
Next, it is to sign the contract, pay the deposit, and transfer the ownership.
After two days of hard work, the matter was finally settled, and he had another store in Hong Kong.
