During the honeymoon holiday, Tong Xuelu did not take care of the store. She and Wen Rugui went out for the past two days.
They climbed the Great Wall together the day before yesterday, and visited the Forbidden City and the museum yesterday. They basically walked around Beijing.
Tong Xuelu also thought about whether to take a short domestic tour, but time was too tight. It would be better not to have fun.
As long as the two of them stayed together, it didn't matter where they went.
Today they did not go out, but stayed at home to take care of the flowers and plants, and then went to the kitchen together to cook a table of delicious dishes.
Wash the pig's large intestine with coarse salt and starch, wash it clean and without a trace of smell, and then add red pepper, ginger, garlic and chopped green onions and stir-fry together. The
finished pig's large intestine is spicy and refreshing, crisp and tender, and the more you chew, the more delicious it is.
Commander Xiao has a special liking for this dish. He enjoys eating it with a glass of wine and a bite of pig's large intestine.
In addition to pig's large intestine, Tong Xuelu also made
steamed pork with rice flour. Cut the pork into long strips and marinate it with sauce. Then stir-fry the rice over low heat until it turns yellow. Add cloves, star anise and cinnamon and continue to stir-fry. After stir-frying, grind the rice into powder to make five-spice rice flour.
Then evenly coat the marinated pork with five-spice rice flour, put the cut pumpkin mat on the plate, and then put the pork on top and steam it in the steamer.
In less than a few minutes, the water boiled, and a wisp of fragrance came out from the holes of the steamer, filling the whole kitchen with the tempting fragrance.
The steamed pork with rice flour is fragrant, soft and refreshing, soft and glutinous, fat but not greasy. The outer layer of rice flour makes the taste more layered, and the rich fragrance jumps in the mouth, making people want to eat more.
Old Master Wen and Uncle Zong like steamed pork with rice flour more, and Commander Xiao ridiculed them for their bad teeth.
How could Old Master Wen let him "slander" himself so easily, so they quarreled while eating delicious food, and it was very lively.
Wen Rugui likes to eat fish, so this dish must be on the table.
Tong Xuelu fried the fish until both sides were golden brown, and then poured in a small cup of wine to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor. The aroma of the wine blended into the fish, and the fragrance rose with the smoke.
Then she poured in the spring water brought back from the mountain, and when the water boiled, a pot of delicious fish soup was ready. The milky white fish soup was fragrant, and sprinkled with chopped green onions, it was delicious.
The vacation passed too quickly, and he lost interest when he thought about parting with her.
But now he smelled the rich fragrance, and his appetite suddenly opened up. He scooped a bowl for her and then scooped a bowl for himself.
The spring water is sweet, and the fish soup made from it is more delicious than the fish soup made with ordinary tap water, which makes people want to stop.
Seeing Commander Xiao eating a glass of wine and a mouthful of pig intestines, he suddenly became addicted to alcohol.
"Xiao Zong, pour me a glass of wine too. I'm in a good mood today. Let's drink together."
But before Uncle Zong could answer, Wen Rugui said, "Uncle Zong, don't listen to Grandpa. The doctor said he can't drink."
Grandpa Wen was so angry that his beard trembled. He argued, "... If you can't have a glass, then half a glass will do."
Wen Rugui said, "Grandpa, the doctor said not even a sip."
Grandpa Wen's face became even more angry. It was ugly, and it was as limp as an old cucumber: "You unfilial grandson!"
Tong Xuelu picked up a piece of green vegetables for him with chopsticks and said: "Grandpa, Rugui doesn't let you drink because it's for your own good, you should eat more green vegetables."
Old Master Wen's face changed in a second, picked up the green vegetables and said: "My grandson's wife is still good to me." Wen
Rugui: "..."
Uncle Zong: "..."
Commander Xiao saw Tong Xuelu picking up vegetables for Old Master Wen, so he looked at her expectantly.
Tong Xuelu had to quickly pick up vegetables for him.
Wei Zhuzhu ignored the situation at the table and ate heartily. It was so delicious that she almost swallowed her tongue.
Tong Jiaxin saw her eat two bowls in total, and his heart ached.
He thought to himself that being a bachelor was indeed the right thing to do. If he married a daughter-in-law like Wei Zhuzhu, he would definitely be starving.
After dinner, Xiao Mianmian took her sister's hand and asked, "Sister, if lice are not treated, will it kill people?"
Tong Xuelu was startled and looked at her hair: "What? You have lice again?"
Thinking of her having lice more than two years ago, goose bumps fell all over her arms.
Xiao Mianmian shook her head: "No, I just asked if any of Sister Zhuzhu's classmates had lice."
Tong Xuelu became more worried after hearing this, and pulled her under the light, pulled apart her hair, and carefully checked it. She was relieved to make sure there were no lice.
"Lice won't kill you, but your scalp will be itchy, and lice will suck blood from the scalp, so if you have lice you must seek medical treatment right away."
When Xiao Mianmian heard that it wouldn't kill her, she pursed her lips and said, "I understand. I'll tell Sister Zhuzhu later."
Tong Xulu didn't notice her expression and said, "And tell Zhuzhu not to get too close to that classmate, so that she won't be infected again."
"I understand, sister."
The Wen and Xiao families were in harmony, but Shi Xingrui went home alone, crying all the way.
Aunt Lin, a distant relative who was helping to take care of her from next door, saw her come back crying and asked hurriedly: "Xiao Rui, what's wrong with you? Did you fall down?"
Shi Xingrui looked at her impatiently: "No!"
Aunt Lin: "If it's not, then what happened? Did you have a fight with your classmates?"
Shi Xingrui was annoyed by the question: "Why are you so nagging? I'm hungry, I want to eat."
Aunt Lin was so angry that she almost choked: "Your parents gave you to me to take care of, of course I have to take care of you, otherwise how can I explain to your parents when they come back?"
Shi Xingrui put her hands on her hips and glared: "Who asked you to take care of me? You just used my parents' money to take care of me, you'd better mind your own business!"
Aunt Lin's lungs were almost burst from being poked.
She and Cheng Xiuyun's mother had a complicated relationship. Cheng Xiuyun usually spoke softly and politely, and was a good person. So when she said that she and Shi Xiu Neng were going to Shenzhen to get some goods and asked her to help take care of Shi Xingrui, she agreed without thinking.
Who knew that Cheng Xiuyun was a good person, but her daughter Shi Xingrui's personality was nothing like hers. She was overbearing and rude, and she almost regarded herself as a little ancestor!
Aunt Lin made up her mind not to care about the Shi family's mess anymore.
Aunt Lin was furious, and she didn't take as good care of Shi Xingrui as before, which led to no one noticing that Shi Xingrui had lice on her head.
**
The next day, Wen Rugui went back to the base, and Tong Xulu began to devote her energy to the store.
The store behind the school had been renovated, and Tong Xulu began to look for people who could help. The first person she thought of was the Dongfeng Hotel.
So after sending Wen Rugui to the car, she went directly to the Dongfeng Hotel.
Because it was still morning, there were not many customers at the Dongfeng Hotel when it just opened.
The hotel manager took the waiter who replaced Wu Lizhu to buy ingredients. At this time, only Master Meng, Guo Weiping and Guo Chunyu were in the hotel.
Seeing Tong Xulu coming, Guo Chunyu and others were stunned.
"Manager Tong, why are you here?"
Tong Xulu said with a smile, "Sister Chunyu, please call me by my name. I'm no longer a manager."
As she said this, she glanced around the hotel. The hygiene of the hotel was far worse than when she was a manager. A thick layer of dust accumulated in the corners and windows.
Noticing Tong Xuelu's gaze, Guo Chunyu lowered his voice and said, "It's not that we don't clean, but the current manager said that it only needs to be cleaned once every six months."
Tong Xuelu did not comment: "Master Meng is in there, right?"
As soon as the words fell, Master Meng came out wiping his hands: "Xuelu, you are here?"
Tong Xuelu nodded: "Master Meng, please take a seat. I came here today to discuss something with you."
"What is it?"
"I opened a shop near the school, and I will open a big restaurant in the future. I am in urgent need of manpower now. I wonder if you are willing to come over and help me?"
The three were stunned when they heard this, and the lobby was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Tong Xuelu glanced at the three of them and continued, "If you are willing to help me, I will offer you a salary ten yuan more than your current salary. This is just the basic salary. If the hotel's performance is good, I will give you a bonus."
If you say that when you heard Tong Xuelu's words just now, the three of them were thinking about how to refuse tactfully, but when they heard the salary and benefits, they swallowed the words of refusal.
Money can move people's hearts.
Guo Chunyu licked his lips and broke the silence: "Manager Tong, how do you calculate the bonus you mentioned? Is it for a period of time, or will it be like this in the future?"
Tong Xuelu: "The bonus calculation method is linked to the hotel's turnover. The more turnover a month has, the more bonuses you will get. If you agree, I will evaluate you based on your duties and abilities, and then sign a contract with you after the probation period."
Guo Chunyu frowned: "What is that? Why do we have to sign that?"
Tong Xuelu explained: "A contract is equivalent to a deed. When you buy a house from someone, you have proof of ownership. Since you work for me, I will naturally protect your rights and interests."
"In addition to bonuses, there will be holiday benefits during the Chinese New Year and other holidays. There will be two days off every month. You should consider it."
Guo Chunyu and the other two looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.
This treatment is much better than the Dongfeng Hotel.
In addition to the high salary, there are two days off every month. You have to know that now except for holidays such as Chinese New Year and Spring Festival, they almost work all year round.
Sometimes when something happens at home, you have to ask for leave. Asking for leave means deducting money, which is painful, and the body cannot bear it if you don't have a rest for a long time.
But the three of them did not agree immediately.
After all, the work here is a lifelong iron rice bowl. As long as they don't do anything illegal, they can work until the day they can't work anymore.
But what if the hotel she opened went bankrupt one day? What if there was a commotion one day and she didn't want to hire them anymore?
The three of them hesitated and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Tong Xuelu also understood their thoughts: "You guys think about it carefully. If you want to come, come to my house to find me, but I only give you three days to consider it. After that, I won't wait."
She felt that the three of them were good people and capable, but they were not indispensable.
She would not give them the illusion that her hotel could not be run without them from the beginning, otherwise it would be difficult to manage in the future.
Guo Chunyu nodded: "Thank you, Manager Tong. We will think about it carefully. I just said that we don't need to call you Manager Tong, but now it seems that this title does not need to be changed."
Tong Xuelu smiled, nodded and walked out of the hotel.
**
Shi Xingrui was humiliated by Wei Zhuzhu, and she was very unwilling in her heart.
But Wei Zhuzhu was very tall and stronger than ordinary children, and she could not beat her at all.
Xiao Mianmian was even more cunning. She never went to the playground to play after class, or she would stick with Wei Zhuzhu, resulting in her having no chance to attack.
What made her even more irritated was that her head was itchy for some reason, and it was still itchy even if she scratched it.
But she didn't tell Aunt Lin about this.
She hated Aunt Lin and thought she was nagging and annoying. Fortunately, her parents would be back next week.
Her father even promised her that he would buy her a beautiful skirt, and she would wear it to school and envy Wei Zhuzhu, that fat pig!
Tong Xuelu did not put all her hopes on Guo Chunyu and the other two. She went back to school and told her classmates about the recruitment.
Naturally, students from Peking University would not work in her hotel, but they had relatives there.
Not everyone can work in a state-owned unit these days, so everyone was very interested when they heard that Tong Xuelu was recruiting.
Tong Xuelu told everyone the basic salary and job requirements in detail and asked them to help introduce people.
Everyone was shocked when they heard the salary she offered.
They all heard that Tong Xuelu refused the school's assignment. Many people thought she was stupid and impulsive, and actually refused to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and went to do business.
In their opinion, how can doing business be as respectable and stable as working in a company?
They also thought that Tong Xuelu would definitely regret it, but they didn't expect that she not only didn't regret it, but also became a boss.
They didn't expect that the salary she offered was not worse than that of the company.
"Xuelu, aren't you afraid of losing money by offering such a high salary?" Jiang Baihui asked.
Tong Xuelu: "Since I dare to offer this salary, I will naturally be responsible for the profit and loss."
She is very confident in her cooking skills and even more confident in the future economic development.
She was able to revive the Dongfeng Hotel, and now she can make the newly opened store prosperous.
Seeing her confident look, everyone stopped persuading her and promised to go back and ask if there are any relatives in the family who want to do the job.
In fact, in Tong Xuelu's view, the most ideal situation is not to recruit relatives who are acquaintances.
Relatives will cause a lot of trouble to do things, but there is no recruitment channel now, and secondly, no private enterprise has recruited people, so she can only use this channel.
After spreading the news, there was news soon.
Everyone passed the message back and forth, and in the end there were more than 20 people who came for the interview.
Tong Xuelu interviewed them in the store at the school.
During the interview, she borrowed the traditional Chinese medicine method of "look, ask, smell and feel".
Look, that is, to see if their clothes are neat and clean, whether there is any dirt in the nail crevices, and whether their hair and ears are clean.
In the catering industry, hygiene is the most important thing. She doesn't know whether other people care about it or not. In her case, if hygiene does not pass the test, she will be the first to pass.
Five or six people were eliminated at this stage, leaving only fifteen.
Ask, in addition to asking about previous work experience, also ask about their strengths. Those who have wandering eyes, those who don't make sense when they speak, and those who are greasy and vulgar are not allowed.
So in this way, another three or four people were eliminated.
Smell, that is, to smell whether they have bad breath and any strange smell on their bodies, so as to preliminarily judge whether they have any diseases. If they want to join the company, she will also ask them to have a physical examination.
This eliminated two more people.
The last cutting was different from the traditional Chinese medicine cutting. They were asked to cut vegetables.
If they didn't even know how to use a kitchen knife to work in the catering industry, she didn't have the patience to let them learn from scratch.
In the end, five people were left.
Among these five people, one was a relative of Jiang Baihui, and the other four were relatives of classmates from other majors.
Jiang Baihui's relative was a young person in her twenties, good-looking and clean. She didn't seem complacent because of her relationship with Jiang Baihui.
Tong Xuelu was very satisfied with this.
Because Guo Chunyu hadn't replied to her yet, she didn't make specific arrangements for the five people. She just asked them to leave their contact information and said she would notify them later.
As soon as she got home after the interview, she saw Guo Chunyu and Guo Weiping, two siblings, sitting in the lobby waiting for her.
Seeing her come back, Guo Chunyu hurriedly stood up with a smile: "Manager Tong, you are back?"
Tong Xuelu guessed their purpose as soon as she saw them, and said calmly: "Sister Chunyu, you must have made a decision this time?"
What Guo Chunyu likes most about Tong Xuelu is her quick personality.
Her decision is also related to the personality of the current manager of the hotel.
The current manager of Dongfeng Hotel is not a bad person, but his personality is very mother-in-law, and he is often hesitant in doing things. No wonder the business of Dongfeng Hotel is getting worse and worse.
When Tong Xuelu was the manager, Dongfeng Hotel was so prosperous.
She has considered a lot in the past two days. No one in her family agrees with her quitting her job to work for Tong Xuelu.
They felt that they were stable in the Dongfeng Hotel, but she finally decided to sell her position in the Dongfeng Hotel.
Tong Xuelu's ability was clear to her. She had witnessed her revival of the Dongfeng Hotel and her rise from a waiter to a first-class hotel manager.
Following a capable manager, the future would definitely not be too bad.
Thinking of this, Guo Chunyu nodded: "Yes, Weiping and I have decided to come to help you, but Master Meng decided to stay at the Dongfeng Hotel. He asked me to say sorry to you."
"What is there to be sorry about? I won't blame you whether you come or not, but I am still very happy that you are willing to come to help me."
Tong Xuelu stretched out her hand: "Welcome, you will be the company's veteran contributors when the company develops in the future!"
Hearing this, Guo Chunyu blushed with excitement: "Thank you, Manager Tong, we will definitely work hard!"
After consideration, Tong Xuelu decided to let Guo Chunyu and Guo Weiping help her open the hot pot restaurant behind the school.
The other five people went with her to run the restaurant business.
She still trusted the character of Guo Chunyu and Guo Weiping, and as for the five newcomers, she needed to observe them for a while. She
had hired enough waiters, and she wanted to hire a chef and a manager, but it was difficult to recruit people for these two positions. She
could wait a little longer for the chef, because she was planning to start her own business and make the restaurant a success.
But she needed to recruit someone for the manager position as soon as possible.
At this time, Jiang Danhong and her husband Deng Hong came to see her.
Deng Hong went straight to the point: "Comrade Tong, I heard that you are recruiting a hotel manager, is that right?"
Tong Xuelu nodded: "Did someone introduce you to someone?"
Deng Hong: "Comrade Tong, what do you think of me? Am I capable of being the manager of your restaurant?"
Tong Xuelu was stunned for a moment when she heard this: "Are you going to resign from the state-owned hotel?"
Deng Hong nodded: "Yes, if Comrade Tong is willing to hire me, I will come to work. If he thinks I am not suitable, then I will make other plans."
The implication was that he had decided to leave the state-owned hotel.
Tong Xuelu glanced at Jiang Danhong: "Sister Danhong, what do you think?"
Jiang Danhong smiled gently: "I respect his choice."
Tong Xuelu nodded, then turned back to look at Deng Hong and said: "Manager Deng, can you tell me why you want to leave the state-owned hotel?"
Deng Hong said: "In the past two years, I have found that more and more people are secretly doing business outside. There are people secretly selling breakfast or lunch next to the train station and in front of the factory. This has caused a certain impact on the business of the state-owned hotel."
"The country is now encouraging economic development. I think if this trend continues, more and more people will do business in the future, and the business of state-owned hotels will get worse and worse. So I think now is the best time to jump out."
Tong Xulu used to think that Deng Hong's work ability was not enough for a state-owned hotel. After hearing what he said, she was more confident in his ability.
"Manager Deng, have you ever thought about starting your own business?"
Deng Hong smiled and said, "I have thought about it, but firstly, I am short of money, and secondly, the risk is too great. If I lose my family, they will have to live with me."
Tong Xuelu stood up, stretched out her hand and said, "Welcome, Manager Deng, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
Deng Hong is capable and has good character. His coming to the hotel to help her is simply a great help to her. In the future, she can leave the restaurant to him without any worries.
Deng Hong quickly stood up, shook her hand and said, "Happy cooperation."
Just when Tong Xuelu was recruiting people, Cheng Xiuyun and Shi Xiuneng came back from Shenzhen with a batch of clothing.
