The next day.
Du Shaojie came to [Xijiang Hotel].
Although the hotel has been renovated, it still retains its original style. This reminded him of the time when he was seconded here. It was also here that he met Zhong Fuxiang and Dong Jun and others.
Zhong Fuxiang is still guarding his hot pot restaurant in Shenzhen. After working diligently for so many years, he has accumulated a lot of wealth.
He went to see him when he was in Shenzhen last time. The hot pot restaurant has been handed over to his son. The old comrade is helping to check the side, and his life is good.
Dong Jun is now the vice president of the company and settled in Shenzhen.
Du Shaojie gave a little share to several executives, and usually gave high salaries. Dong Jun not only bought a house but also a car. From any angle, he is one of the first to get rich.
There were too many opportunities in the past few years. It depends on whether a person dares to grab them.
"Boss Du, this way"
Du Shaojie was still sighing, and Liu Ying's appearance interrupted him directly.
"Director Liu"
Liu Ying looks well maintained and doesn't look old.
She asked Du Shaojie to follow her and went directly to a more private room.
"The leader will be here soon, let's order first."
After entering the room and sitting down, Liu Ying poured Du Shaojie a cup of tea.
At this time, Lu Yimin had not arrived yet, and the two began to order food.
After ordering the food, Liu Ying talked about her situation. Although she did not have much power, she was very free and did not have so many worries.
"People always have to seek a goal. I think it's good for you to be like this. You can retire after a while. If you have anything, just talk to leader Lu and you can still get things done."
Du Shaojie comforted Liu Ying after listening.
Liu Ying laughed and changed the topic, talking about the past.
After about a quarter of an hour, Lu Yimin came in in a hurry: "Shaojie, I'm sorry, I was delayed by something. I will punish myself with three cups later."
"How can that be, three cups are definitely not enough, how about doubling it?"
The two of them stood up immediately, and Lu Yimin even shook hands with Du Shaojie enthusiastically.
Du Shaojie made a joke, and then asked the waiter to serve the dishes.
After a while, the food and wine were served, and the three of them drank a glass together.
Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they still
had a lot of topics to talk about. Lu Yimin asked about Feng Qingsong's recent situation, and then said with a smile: "Shaojie, you must help me bring some local specialties to my old leader when you go back this time. I haven't seen him for a long time."
Du Shaojie smiled and nodded in agreement. This was a small matter, and he had a way to hand it over to Feng Qingsong.
The meal was over in more than an hour. Lu Yimin had something to leave first, and Du Shaojie sent Liu Ying back.
It can be seen that although Liu Ying was talking and laughing at the table, she was still very depressed. She started earlier than Jiang Cheng and Lu Yimin, but the final ending was sad.
Next.
Du Shaojie took Qi Yan and his daughter to a good turn in Xijiang, grasslands, pastures, alpine lakes. He went to many places, and the happiest one was the little guy.
After going out for a trip, Qi Yan stayed with her parents for a few days, and the holiday came to an end.
Qi Yan, her daughter and the nanny flew back to Beijing, and Du Shaojie was too lazy to move and continued to stay there. In this season, many fruits are on the market, and cattle and sheep are also fat.
Du Shaojie was too lazy to cook, and he ate all kinds of food in different ways almost every day.
He has traveled almost all over the country, and his preference for food is the taste of his hometown.
Half a month later.
Du Shaojie returned to Guangzhou with Wang Yongli and others.
During this trip, he felt unprecedented relaxation, and it seemed that the unbreakable bottleneck of cooking skills was slightly loosened.
The next day after returning home, Du Shaojie went to the fish restaurant to see if the [roasted whole lamb] made by the fish restaurant had improved. This time when he returned to Xijiang, he had some new insights into the local specialties, and he could find an opportunity to try it.
"Mr. Du, are you back?"
Wu Dazhu knew that Du Shaojie had gone out of town, and suddenly saw him, so he hurried forward to say hello.
"Yes, I came back yesterday. Let's go to the kitchen."
It was afternoon and the kitchen staff were busy.
Two of the chefs checked the marinated mutton and prepared to start roasting it immediately.
[Roasted whole lamb] takes a long time to roast, so it must be done in advance, otherwise it will not be in time for dinner in the evening.
"Hello, Mr. Du!"
The two carried the ingredients to the barbecue area and saw Du Shaojie.
"Well, you guys continue, I'll watch from the side."
Du Shaojie smiled and nodded. According to his visual inspection, the marinated mutton they had looked good.
The two chefs responded and started grilling.
Du Shaojie stared at their movements, occasionally speaking out to correct some minor problems. In the process, he had some ideas about how to cook this dish, but he needed to try repeatedly to determine whether these ideas were correct.
"Not bad, you have mastered the essence of this dish. Some details are lacking, and you can improve them slowly in the future."
Du Shaojie was not too demanding on the two people. With their level, they would be more than enough to cook this dish even in a big hotel.
According to Wu Dazhu, three sheep can be sold every day, and sometimes there is a situation where supply exceeds demand.
Du Shaojie encouraged the two barbecue chefs, and then he personally grilled one and demonstrated it to the two again.
At night.
After returning home, Du Shaojie plunged into the simulation scene and began to practice, integrating some of his new ideas into [Roast Whole Lamb].
He had not conducted simulation training for a long time, because as long as he could cook a dish, he could basically get a comprehensive evaluation of "Phoenix Marrow and Dragon Liver", and it would be useless to practice more.
Unless he could break through the current bottleneck.
He made the [Roast Whole Lamb] over and over again in the simulated scene, forgetting the time and fatigue, and only returned to reality to rest when he could no longer bear it.
"I can't do this next time!"
Du Shaojie felt a splitting headache, reflected on himself, and fell asleep.
The next day he slept until ten o'clock in the morning, and the whole person was considered to have recovered.
Although it was very consuming, it also gained a lot. The [Roast Whole Lamb] he made before was indeed very good, but there were still some details that were not done well, and there were a few flaws.
This time he went back to Xijiang and went to several local restaurants that were famous for making this dish, so he had new insights.
At noon.
Du Shaojie and others went to [Seafood House] for lunch, and then went to the training center to handle several documents.
He and Luo Qin both had offices in the training center, which were very suitable for work, but the office conditions were slightly worse. However, he never cared about these details.
"Secretary Luo, I'm going to the fish restaurant in the afternoon. Let's talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."
Du Shaojie finished his official business and planned to go to the fish restaurant.
There weren't many things to do recently, so there was no need for him to let Luo Qin follow him all the time. Others also need some rest time.
Who knew that Luo Qin would get angry when she heard it: "Boss, I want to go with you. This is my duty."
In fact, Luo Qin wanted to follow Du Shaojie to eat for free. Apart from other things, she would never get tired of eating just one dish of [roasted whole lamb]. How could she not go? She must try her best to fight for it.
"Go if you want to, but don't say that I'm a black-hearted capitalist who doesn't let people rest in the future."
Du Shaojie naturally didn't care, so the group went downstairs.
After arriving at the fish restaurant, Du Shaojie participated in the roasting process throughout the whole process. Now there are at least three lambs every night, and the two barbecue chefs are too busy, so Wu Dazhu had to add two helpers for them.
"In the future, the roasting process will follow today's demonstration. In addition, I have made a few improvements to the marinated ingredients. I will tell you later."
Du Shaojie walked around the oven and nodded with satisfaction.
Although it is just a slight adjustment, the roasted mutton will be more delicate and taste better.
In terms of marinating, he also made some minor changes to the ingredients. There is no rush. He will teach them when he is free.
In the evening.
A large number of guests have come to the fish restaurant. Du Shaojie and others did not go to the private room, but sat in the self-service barbecue area.
The waiter brought a large plate of cut [Roast Whole Lamb], and there were also various barbecue dishes, which required Wang Yongli and others to grill by themselves.
Du Shaojie tasted today's [Roast Whole Lamb], and it tasted better than before.
"You guys eat it too, don't just watch."
Luo Qin and others saw that the boss was tasting the dishes, and no one was embarrassed to pick up their chopsticks.
Du Shaojie couldn't help but smile, and after greeting them, he ignored them. Afterwards, even Wang Yongli stopped what he was doing, and everyone's goal was [Roast Whole Lamb].
Then they all smiled, and they were naturally very happy to eat delicious food. This sense of satisfaction is irreplaceable.
At this time, Wu Dazhu brought a fruit platter to the table, and then a food salad was served on the table. Eating barbecue is easy to get angry, and it will be much better with some vegetables and fruits.
Du Shaojie smiled and nodded to Wu Dazhu. He should indeed eat more of these things.
"Mr. Du, our fish restaurant is a bit unworthy of its name. Now 60% to 70% of the daily turnover is contributed by barbecue. Especially [Roast Whole Lamb] and [Roast Lamb Chops] are very popular. I'm afraid we have to increase the supply again."
Wu Dazhu sat down with Du Shaojie to drink a few beers and chat about the current business status of the fish restaurant.
Speaking of the fact that the operating income of [Whole Fish Feast] is showing a downward trend, he couldn't help but sigh. The fish restaurant started with [Whole Fish Feast]. Who would have thought that barbecue has become the big head now?
"This is normal. Customers' tastes are not static, so we have to actively adapt to this change. Since barbecue is so popular, we should work harder in this area and allocate more resources to it."
Du Shaojie disagreed. This change in taste is not surprising at all.
While maintaining its own characteristics, a store must also innovate and appropriately adjust its business ideas. (End of this chapter)
