With a lot of harvest and the passes of Liang Meiqin, Xiaomei and Xiaoya, Du Shaojie returned to Guangzhou.
He originally wanted to visit Wang Liwen in Hong Kong, but she went to Bangkok during this period, and the two of them missed each other perfectly.
Wang Liwen is a woman with a strong personality, strong and independent, otherwise she would not have gone abroad to study alone. It
is the same now. For her, career is the first priority.
After Du Shaojie returned to Guangzhou, he was still quite diligent.
He would go to [Xichuan Restaurant] every day to work for a while and cook in person. This scene is actually rare in the past two years.
"You, the boss, are the pillar of [Xichuan Restaurant]. As long as you cook in person, within two days, old customers will come to the door, and the turnover will also increase significantly."
Liao Yongxin and others are very envious, but they can't learn it.
By now, Du Shaojie's cooking skills have been far ahead of the people around him.
This year he will take the qualification test for the first-class chef, and there is no doubt that he will pass the test. After all, according to his ability, he has entered the ranks of cooking technicians, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a "master".
"Alas, I am just one person, and I can't do everything, so the business of each store still depends on everyone. Master, to run a restaurant business, you have to rely on the average level. Short-term ups and downs don't mean anything."
Du Shaojie said sincerely. If he lived by himself in a store, it would be no problem to rely on his cooking skills.
But now he has 5 [Xichuan Restaurants], a [Seafood Restaurant] and a [Barbecue Restaurant] under his name, and
he is definitely too busy to handle it alone. Therefore, he attaches so much importance to the training of talents.
You must know that training not only takes a lot of time and energy, but also costs a lot of money. Many restaurant owners will not do such a thing.
"That's right, so I admire your brain. Whether it is standardized management or personnel training mechanism, it can make us invincible."
Liao Yongxin was very emotional. Du Shaojie's dishes are good, and he is also good at doing business. I really don't know what's wrong with his brain.
At this time, Liang Meiqin came over.
"Director Lin called just now and said he would entertain a few friends tomorrow night and asked me to reserve a private room for him. He also specifically asked if the boss was there. I said I had just returned from Shenzhen and Director Lin said he wanted to meet you tomorrow night."
Du Shaojie nodded, indicating that he knew.
Through a few things, he felt that Lin Zhiyuan was a trustworthy person, so the relationship between the two became closer.
He estimated that the so-called meeting was probably about something.
In the evening.
Du Shaojie asked someone to buy some fruits and tonics, and then took these things to Director Luo's house.
"I'm old, and it's time to rest. I will retire in the second half of this year and bid farewell to my work completely."
Director Luo was very happy. The other party would come to his house from time to time, and he welcomed it from the bottom of his heart.
Retirement was a foregone conclusion. He was now free and free. He immediately asked the nanny to cook a few dishes and took Du Shaojie to have a few drinks.
Du Shaojie did not refuse. The two had known each other for many years and their relationship was closer than that of ordinary friends.
"Director Luo, you should have a good rest after you retire, cultivate some hobbies, or go around and have a look. If you want to eat anything, go to [Xichuan Restaurant]. Chef Liao is in charge of the kitchen, and you can ask him to cook for you."
Du Shaojie couldn't imagine what retirement life would be like, but based on his own understanding, he gave him some small suggestions.
Director Luo smiled and nodded. He was very open-minded. After all, he had gone from the northwest to the south and had experienced all kinds of storms. He had been holding an idle position for these years, and in fact, he had already entered a semi-retired state.
"Shaojie, if you have anything, you can still find me. At least in the past few years since I retired, I can still get some things done. By the way, I heard from Xiao Cai that you helped her at a critical moment, and I am very relieved."
The two chatted a lot, and Du Shaojie didn't say goodbye until late at night.
Director Luo asked the driver to send him off, and he didn't refuse. He went home, took a shower and went to bed.
The next day.
Du Shaojie met Lin Zhiyuan.
"I may have to move my position recently. There is a key person who needs some work done. He is a very stubborn person, but he loves to eat."
Perhaps because of the good relationship, Lin Zhiyuan did not hide it from Du Shaojie.
Lin Zhiyuan is also a man with ideas. Now that the opportunity is in front of him, he will certainly try his best to fight for it.
In general, he has all the conditions, so a key person's words may affect the outcome of this matter.
He now wants to do the work of a key person.
"Director Lin, this is a good thing. Tell me what you need me to do, and I will do my best to cooperate."
Du Shaojie has lived two lives and deeply understands the truth that "a sedan chair is carried by people".
No matter how powerful a person is, he needs the help of friends in society. If someone respects me one foot, I will return them one foot. Only in this way can I be fearless of any storm.
Therefore, he immediately patted his chest.
"It's not that complicated. Just find a quiet place next week to invite him to dinner. At that time, I will ask Chef Du to cook it myself. I will discuss with you in advance what dishes to cook."
Seeing Du Shaojie's attitude, Lin Zhiyuan felt relieved.
After all, the other party is not only an excellent chef, but also a big boss with a wide range of friends. He is not a small person that he can order around at will.
Otherwise, he would not have revealed the secret at the beginning, just to let the other party see his sincerity.
"Okay, you arrange it, and tell me in advance when the time comes."
Du Shaojie is actually not that arrogant. Generally, he is willing to help his friends who ask him to help.
But he has no choice. His stall is very large and he often has to rotate around, so he will give others some stereotyped impressions.
Later, Lin Zhiyuan returned to the private room, and Du Shaojie left the store. On
the day, Lin Zhiyuan found a private kitchen with good conditions, and Du Shaojie took Tian Feiyu to start working in the back kitchen.
Tian Feiyu's cooking skills have also improved a lot in the past two years. He is down-to-earth and reliable, so today he asked him to help him.
"There are six guests, and we need to make eight dishes. We must not be careless."
Du Shaojie prepared [Sauce Elbow], [Jiangnan Hundred Flowers Chicken], [Dry-fried Fish], [Scallion-fried Sea Cucumber], [Chenpi Beef], [Mao Xuewang], [Boiled Cabbage], and [Assorted Vegetables] today.
There is also a wild mushroom soup.
Among them, [Sauce Pork Elbow], [Jiangnan Hundred Flowers Chicken] and [Boiled Cabbage] are all time-consuming and difficult to make dishes. Du Shaojie selected the best ingredients and even started preparing a few days in advance.
This table of dishes taught Tian Feiyu a lot, but it was also very tiring.
After all the dishes were ready, Du Shaojie and Tian Feiyu left quietly. It was not suitable for him to show up on this occasion today, and he didn't even eat.
"Feiyu, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you."
When he came to the street, Du Shaojie glanced at the surrounding environment and asked casually.
Tian Feiyu was embarrassed to choose, and in the end Du Shaojie chose a seafood restaurant and took him to have a seafood dinner.
The next day.
Lin Zhiyuan went to [Xichuan Restaurant] to thank Du Shaojie in person.
"You don't know, the table of dishes yesterday stunned them on the spot. Everyone praised it while eating, and had to ask me where I invited the cooking master. Really, thank you very much for your help!"
Needless to say, the effect yesterday was very good.
Food brought everyone closer together, and Lin Zhiyuan had the opportunity to express his thoughts.
"Director Lin, you're welcome. Given the relationship between us, this is not worth mentioning."
Du Shaojie was also very happy. After all, he did not let down the chain on his side, and he also fulfilled his responsibilities as a friend.
Lin Zhiyuan stayed for more than ten minutes, said a lot of polite words, and turned to leave.
Not long after, Lin Zhiyuan's new appointment came down, and he finally got what he wanted as he wished.
That night.
Du Shaojie took stock of his recent gains at home.
During this period, a total of 36 dishes received a comprehensive evaluation of "delicacies", including the [Chenpi Beef] and [Sauce Elbow] he made that day.
A total of 18,000 redemption points and 360,000 hours of time were added to him.
The recent consumption is not large, only 20,000 hours of time.
[Exchange points: 57418 points\265566 points]
[Duration: 686,000 hours\4,743,000 hours]
He was very satisfied. The exchange points and duration finally had a certain amount of inventory, and they were no longer as stretched as before.
Time flies.
Du Shaojie took Liang Meiqin to Hong Kong during his break and made a large purchase.
After returning to Guangzhou, he taught Liao Yongxin and others 10 "refurbished" old dishes again. If the effect is good, these dishes will be added to the menu.
The dishes served in each store have been undergoing minor adjustments. In addition to the signature dishes, frequently updating the menu on a small scale is actually a marketing method to retain customers.
The adjusted dishes do not mean that they will not be made in the future. Maybe they will be adjusted back at some point.
After finishing these things, Du Shaojie went to the Magic City, then from the Magic City to Jinling, and then from Jinling to the capital.
He went to Shanghai to investigate the market. After all, it is a megacity that cannot be ignored in China, and he will open a store there sooner or later.
Of course, he went to Jinling to see Xiaoya. Xiaoya is the eldest in the family and needs more attention.
After traveling to several places, Du Shaojie finally came to Beijing.
Qi Yan was busy with graduation matters during this period. She met with Du Shaojie, entangled with him for a night, and then disappeared.
It has been decided that she will stay in school. If nothing unexpected happens, she should work and live in Beijing for the rest of her life.
Du Shaojie was not idle either. He taught new dishes to Yan Dabao, Yu Jianxin and others. At the same time, he conducted a new round of training for the kitchen staff.
This time, the intensity was a bit higher, with 4 hours of training every day. Everyone felt that they were working hard. (End of this chapter)
