The rest was Liang Meiqin's responsibility. She needed to negotiate with the three applicants about salary, contract period, etc.
Du Shaojie did not intervene because Liang Meiqin handled it very well and he did not need to intervene at all.
"I will give you a week to settle your affairs and go to Yangcheng in a week. You need to undergo a period of training in Yangcheng, and then go to Shenzhen, Beijing or stay in Yangcheng. Wait for my notice at that time."
Liang Meiqin brought a ready-made contract. The job seekers basically had no room for bargaining, so the contract terms did not need to be changed.
Tao Yongjun and others left the chef training school and will leave for Yangcheng in a week.
"Sister Yi, thank you for your help, otherwise our recruitment work will be very difficult. Do you have nothing to do tonight? We would like to treat you to a simple meal."
The boss's wife is called Yi Chunmei, so Du Shaojie calls her "Sister Yi".
Today's recruitment went smoothly, and there will be another wave of troubles next, so Du Shaojie plans to build a good relationship with the other party.
"Okay, I like making friends. Boss Du and Manager Liang are treating me, so why shouldn't I go?"
The lady boss agreed readily. The three of them went to her office and sat for an hour or so, and then went out to eat.
There was a good Sichuan restaurant nearby. Du Shaojie ordered some of the restaurant's signature dishes. The three of them ate, drank, and chatted, and soon became familiar with each other.
"Boss Du, if you have time, you can go to the surrounding counties and cities. Good chefs are not necessarily all in Chengdu. There are many in other cities."
After three rounds of drinks, Yi Chunmei gave Du Shaojie an idea, asking him to go to more places.
Du Shaojie thought this suggestion was good and planned to go around in a few days.
But before that, he would continue to post recruitment advertisements in Chengdu newspapers.
The next week.
Du Shaojie and Liang Meiqin interviewed and tasted the dishes again, and finally successfully recruited two chefs.
Together with the three people who were admitted before, the five of them will receive training at [Xichuan Restaurant] in Yangcheng, and then decide where to work. In fact, all the restaurants currently need master chefs, and the five people recruited are not enough.
"Shaojie, I have to go back to Guangzhou, what about you?"
The recruitment has come to an end for the time being. Liang Meiqin is thinking about work and plans to return to Guangzhou.
Du Shaojie does not plan to go back so soon. He will continue his food discovery journey in other cities and counties.
Liang Meiqin quickly booked a ticket and flew back to Guangzhou.
Du Shaojie spent half a month touring various cities around Chengdu.
While tasting various delicacies, she also copied a large number of dishes and snacks.
It is worthy of being the land of abundance, with beautiful scenery and even better food.
"I like it here now."
After returning to Chengdu, he went to the chef training school again and met Yi Chunmei.
When Yi Chunmei asked him how he felt about this trip, Du Shaojie gave a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart.
"Boss Du, how do you think about my suggestion last time?"
Yi Chunmei mentioned the cooperation with Du Shaojie last time. Specifically, outstanding students of the training school can go to [Xichuan Restaurant] for internship. Although they go there to do odd jobs, they can learn a lot of things that they cannot learn in school.
If there are good talents, the restaurant can also keep them.
The various stores of [Xichuan Restaurant] not only have channels for talent reserves, but also have a steady stream of high-quality labor.
"You can try it first. If there are any problems, you can improve it later."
Du Shaojie agreed to cooperate with the other party, and then the two signed a [Cooperation Agreement].
"Boss Du, in fact, you should consider opening a store in Chengdu."
After finishing her business, Yi Chunmei took the initiative to invite Du Shaojie to dinner.
The two went to the Sichuan restaurant they went to last time. After two bottles of beer, Yi Chunmei made another suggestion.
"Are you asking me to open a store in the birthplace of Sichuan cuisine? To be honest, I have no idea."
If Du Shaojie can stay in Chengdu for a long time, then the other party's suggestion can be considered.
The problem is that he can't stay. He doesn't know if it can work just relying on employees recruited from outside.
"What's the big deal? If you have a few special dishes that you can show off, your business will not be bad. Besides, if you plant a phoenix tree, it will attract a phoenix. Are you afraid that you can't find a suitable chef?"
Yi Chunmei said no more.
She was a little selfish. Since the two sides have confirmed the cooperative relationship, if there is a store in Chengdu, it will be a good thing for the chef training school.
But more from the standpoint of a friend, she put forward her own views.
Du Shaojie thought about it and thought that this idea seemed not bad. If [Xichuan Restaurant] has a store in Chengdu, it will be more convincing and more conducive to the cultivation of talents.
Then the two changed the topic and the meal lasted more than an hour.
The next day.
Du Shaojie received a call from Cai Jing.
"Shaojie, why don't you visit Leader Feng in Chengdu? I called the leader two days ago and he asked about you."
Cai Jing suddenly mentioned Feng Qingsong, which made Du Shaojie feel ashamed.
It's not that he didn't have time to visit Feng Qingsong, but he was worried that the leader was busy with work and felt it was not good to disturb him.
"Sister Cai, I'm going to visit Leader Feng today."
Du Shaojie followed suit, and after hanging up the phone, he dialed the number provided by Cai Jing.
The call was answered by Feng Qingsong's secretary. After consulting Feng Qingsong himself, they agreed to meet in his office at 4 pm.
He originally wanted to prepare some gifts, but it was not appropriate to go to someone else's office.
Afternoon.
Du Shaojie came to Feng Qingsong's office as scheduled.
"Master Du, I'm so sorry, I can't help myself now. I heard that you have been in Chengdu for a long time. What do you think? Are you planning to open a store here?"
Feng Qingsong only had 20 minutes. He exchanged a few pleasantries with Du Shaojie and asked about the other party's purpose of coming to Chengdu.
Du Shaojie's mind turned, and he nodded.
"Yes, I have investigated the market in the early stage and plan to open a Sichuan restaurant here. However, I am still looking for a storefront, so I
am afraid it will take some time to open it." "Haha, not bad, you dare to enter the base camp of Sichuan cuisine, you seem to be quite confident. Go ahead and do it. If you encounter any problems, call Xiao Chen, and I will handle it as appropriate."
The Xiao Chen mentioned by Feng Qingsong is his secretary.
Then, the two chatted about some past events, and Du Shaojie stood up to say goodbye.
Chen Ziang sent him out and left his phone number.
Du Shaojie did not have a fixed residence in Chengdu, so naturally he did not have a fixed phone number.
However, if he opened a store in the local area in the future, he would definitely buy a house for living, and then he would have the address and phone number.
In the evening.
He called Liao Yongxin and discussed with him about opening a new store in Chengdu.
"Your idea is good, I fully support it! Do you know why the person I introduced before always hesitated? It's because he was too far from home.
If we open a store in Chengdu, I can definitely help you find a suitable chef."
After listening to this, Liao Yongxin supported Du Shaojie's idea.
Others can open a store in Chengdu, why can't he?
"Okay, I'll take a look at the storefront first, and I'll tell you after it's settled."
Du Shaojie then hung up the phone, and basically made up his mind.
From the next day, he looked for storefronts everywhere. But this kind of thing can't be rushed, and whether you can find a suitable storefront sometimes depends on luck.
"Boss Du, I know a suitable storefront. Why don't you come with me to take a look? It's hard to explain."
Du Shaojie didn't find a suitable storefront, so he went to ask Yi Chunmei.
Yi Chunmei was very enthusiastic. A friend of hers happened to have a storefront to rent, so she helped the two of them.
When they arrived at the place, Yi Chunmei found the landlord, opened the door, and Du Shaojie went in and took a look.
This is a two-story building. The house looks a bit old, but it is still quite solid. The previous tenant was a restaurant owner, so the layout of the entire building was designed according to the layout of the restaurant.
The first floor is the lobby, and the second floor is the private room, which is a standard mid-range restaurant layout.
The negotiation between Du Shaojie and the landlord went smoothly. After finalizing the price, the two parties signed a three-year rental contract.
"Landlord, are you selling this house?"
After signing the rental contract, Du Shaojie had no scruples and asked the landlord with a smile.
He didn't ask before because he was worried about complications.
The landlord smiled and shook his head. He didn't need more money for the time being. Who would sell the chickens that lay eggs?
Du Shaojie didn't care either, and walked back to the chef training school with Yi Chunmei.
"Boss Du wants to buy a storefront? This requires waiting for an opportunity, and it can't be rushed. If you want to buy a house, that's easy. I can ask for you."
Yi Chunmei is a native of the local area, so she is naturally more informed than Du Shaojie.
The key is that the other party is willing to help, Du Shaojie hurriedly thanked him.
"Sister Yi, please keep an eye on the storefront and the house for me, and I will cook for you later."
Du Shaojie is not bragging, it is not easy to get him to cook now.
He is not short of money, and he is not ambitious.
People are strong without desires, and generally speaking, no one can force him to cook in person.
"Haha, I have been waiting for you to say this."
Yi Chunmei knew that the other party was a top chef and a big boss. She was flattered that the other party said that he would cook for her in person.
In just a few days, she took Du Shaojie to see several houses.
Du Shaojie was not very satisfied with these houses, but fortunately he was not in a hurry to leave, and there was still time to choose slowly.
Yi Chunmei was a little embarrassed and paid more attention to this matter. Finally, she found out that there was a yard for sale near the storefront rented by Du Shaojie.
At present, the storefront is still under renovation. Du Shaojie is not busy all day long. After receiving the news from Yi Chunmei, he immediately went to see the house with her.
The yard is not big. The main house is a tiled house with three rooms, and the west wing is a tiled house with two rooms. There is a kitchen, a bathroom, and water supply. There
is also a tree in the middle of the yard. It looks like a very exquisite small yard. (End of this chapter)
