Zheng Dayong looked at the silent crowd and asked again, "Has no one come up with a solution?"
Everyone shook their heads, thinking that this wouldn't work, that wouldn't work, the conditions were too harsh, there was no chance of operation at all, and they could only wait for others to come.
Zheng Dayong looked at Jiang Shushu and said, "Xiao Jiang, the previous two ideas were all yours, and they were both very good. Do you have any ideas this time? If so, feel free to speak up."
The others also looked at Jiang Shushu.
Jiang Shushu: "..." It's useless to look at me. I have no tricks. I can't order in advance, and I can't leave any for others. I have to control the quantity when buying meat... Even if the king of heaven came, there would be no way. Unless you want to practice the skills, you must first castrate yourself. If you can't cheat outsiders, you can cheat your own people.
"Manager, given the policy conditions, there is really no good way out. Now it's time to rely on luck and character." It's definitely impossible to cheat outsiders, so at this time, you can only cheat your own people. This is the only way, and everyone knows it, but they don't like to do it, nor do they want to think about it that way.
Zheng Dayong was puzzled. "Xiao Jiang, I understand that this is about luck, but what does this mean about character?"
Jiang Shushu smiled and said, "For strangers, we can only rely on luck, but for acquaintances, we have to rely on character. Now we can only encourage our relatives and friends who have the conditions to come to our state-owned restaurant for dinner more often, otherwise we really can't think of any other solution." If you have bad character, your relatives and friends will ignore you, let alone come to consume and help you improve your performance.
Everyone suddenly realized what was going on and was thinking about how to evaluate their own character and how many relatives they could invite to dinner. Although they were reluctant to do so, they could not care less at the critical moment.
Everyone was secretly thinking that they had to get a few relatives to come here for dinner. If they didn’t come, it would not only seem like they had bad character, but it would also be extremely embarrassing.
Zheng Dayong: "This is indeed the only way. I won't force you to do this. Everyone should decide based on their own situation. If you can call as many as you want, then call as many as you want. If you can't, that's fine too." The wool comes from the sheep, and fortunately there is only one month left, otherwise it would be difficult for me to ask for it.
Everyone: In this situation, even if I have to pay out of my own pocket, I have to invite one or two people to dinner. Otherwise, how can I save face? Fortunately, it's only a month, I can bear it and still get by. If I had to invite relatives to dinner every month, the mere thought would be embarrassing. For the sake of a better life in the future, I have to fight for it.
Except for Jiang Shushu, who was the lone commander, everyone else started to inquire about their aunts, uncles, etc. after returning home... In short, they inquired about all the relatives they could name, to see which relatives were their potential customers.
Then in the next few days, either this relative came to eat or that relative came to eat. For five consecutive days, everyone had several relatives coming to eat, except Jiang Shushu, who was left alone.
Jiang Shushu felt a little embarrassed watching himself.
It seems that I need to achieve some results for myself. I came up with the method myself. I can't say that I am a role model, but I can't do it empty-handed. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable. Everyone has made contributions, so how can I be an exception?
Jiang Shushu found Han Xingwang and Zhang Yao and said, "Chef Han, Chef Zhang, I'm on vacation tomorrow. There's a happy event at home, and I want to prepare some delicious dishes. Can I pick them up at 10:30? I'll be home just in time for lunch."
Zhang Yao: "Xiao Jiang, is it because each of us invited relatives but you didn't, and you felt embarrassed, so you bought it? You don't have to worry about these things. Your relatives are not here, and we certainly won't say anything. It's not easy for you to make money, so you don't have to spend money in the store on purpose." It would be bad if you had to live frugally at that time.
"Chef Zhang, I bought some groceries because I wanted to contribute to the restaurant, and I also wanted to take advantage of tomorrow being a good day to treat my relatives to a meal. I really need it. I promised you some time ago. After you won first place in the competition, I told them how good your cooking was. They really wanted to try your cooking, but you know, they couldn't bear to give it to me. If I had sent it back to them normally, they wouldn't have been able to eat it. It just so happens that tomorrow is the birthday of an elder in my family, so I wanted to take this opportunity to let them taste your and Chef Han's cooking."
Zhang Yao laughed heartily: "Old Han and I's reputation has spread to your team."
Jiang Shushu also laughed. "Of course I should. I'm older than you, and everyone in our village calls me Auntie. My nieces and nephews always ask me where I work. The one they ask the most is you two chefs: Is the meat you cook delicious? What does it taste like? Do you look good?... You said they were all so enthusiastic about asking, so as an elder, I have to say something. And you and Chef Han are very famous in our village, especially among the children. A few children are particularly ambitious and said they've started saving money so they can come and eat your buns and braised pork in a few years."
Han Xingwang also smiled. "I never thought I would be so popular with children. What do you need tomorrow? I will definitely pack it for you before 10:30."
"Thank you, Chef Han and Chef Zhang. For the main course, I'd like 12 meat buns and seven egg pancakes. For the side dishes, I'd like two servings of braised pork, one serving of braised fish, one serving of pan-fried tofu, and one serving of chive dumplings."
Zhang Yao: "Okay, tomorrow you can just use the store's spare lunch boxes. You don't need to bring a lunch box. It will be made and packed for you before 10:30."
The next morning, Jiang Shushu arrived at the state-owned hotel on time to pay the money.
Jiang Shushu saw that the portions of each dish were larger than usual, and the egg pancakes were also larger than before, so he knew that the two of them had let him go. "Thank you, Chef Han, Chef Zhang."
Zhang Yao and Han Xingwang didn't say anything, just waved their hands to let Jiang Shushu go.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Jiang Shushu walked towards the door with his lunch box.
After Jiang Shushu arrived at Jiangjia Village and returned home, he went to find Jiang Mingwen.
"Cousin, you don't have to cook at noon. Come to my house for dinner. I asked the chef of our National Hotel to prepare some specialties so that you can taste the cooking skills of a top-notch chef. Cousin, I'm not bragging, this is what it tastes like." Jiang Shushu gave a thumbs up after saying this.
Jiang Mingwen's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Okay, we will definitely be there on time. I'll bring my treasured wine with me."
At noon, Jiang Mingwen and his family of three came to Jiang Shushu's house.
Jiang Mingwen saw the delicious dishes on the table and smiled happily, "There are so many delicious dishes to go with the wine. I brought this wine today."
Jiang He saw Jiang Mingwen's wine and became greedy. "Mingwen, pour me a glass later. I haven't had a drink in years."
…
The six of them happily finished eating everything.
