The story of a cook

Chapter 606 Prepare to Withdraw
Yan Li's husband introduced to the manager of the old shop surnamed Zhuang, named Zhuang Chujing, a 35-year-old, very temperamental woman.He is well-known in the coastal catering industry and is an excellent manager.

Everyone in the catering business has a habit. When they work in a new restaurant, they like to call their former subordinates to work together. Firstly, they are familiar with the way, and their own style of play can be carried out well, which is easy to manage; secondly, it is also to eliminate dissidents. , Make your work easier to do.

The same is true for the old employees of the hotel. When the new manager is replaced, the old employees and the new manager can’t get along, there are conflicts in cooperation, and things don’t go well. They all leave one after another and find their old managers.

After Zhuang Chujing came, he replaced the former supervisor Niu Xiuli, the Minister of Chuancai, and several old waiters who held important positions, and called the ministers, floor managers, and waiters who had followed him before to complete the personnel replacement.

After a restaurant is on the right track, with stable dishes, stable customer sources, and its own characteristics and reputation, these changes will not have any impact on normal operations.Guests come here to eat food and enjoy service, and it is a bit fresh to change managers appropriately.This is the same as going to KFC and McDonald's. No one cares whether the waiter today is the same as yesterday, as long as the burger and fried chicken still taste the same.

Zhuang Chujing, as an old catering person in Binhai, was also a vice president, and his ability was stronger than Cao Xiaojuan.Her purpose in coming to Blue Flower Pavilion was not as simple as being the manager of an old store. How could the vice president of Binhai Hotel be able to impress a small manager of a social restaurant.

Now the form of catering is not as good as it was in previous years, especially since this year, the Communist Party’s style of eating and drinking has begun to subside, and many units are not daring to spend with public funds.The business of large enterprises like Binhai Hotel, which integrates catering, accommodation and entertainment, has begun to decline.

Zhuang Chujing has been in charge of catering in the hotel, seeing the business downturn, he thought of working in a social restaurant outside.If I don't want to go to a small restaurant, I can't give full play to my ability. If I want to go to a large social restaurant, I can make a good use of it and work hard.

When a friend introduced Qinghua Pavilion, this ambitious woman felt that her chance had come.The development of Qinghua Pavilion in Binhai in the past two years is obvious to all. It has gradually become a leading enterprise, and the salary is good. If you work in such a company, the development prospects are limitless.

When she first talked with Yan Li's husband, she expressed her willingness to cooperate with Qinghua Pavilion, and directly said that if she was just a branch manager, she would not do it, and if she wanted to do it, she would be the operations director, because she had the ability.

Yan Li's husband didn't agree to her directly, saying that he now has an operations director and is doing a good job.If you want to be the director of operations, start from the position of manager of the old store. If you really have the ability, you can let her do it after a period of investigation.She also knows that even if she is capable and qualified for the position of director, she has never cooperated with Qinghua Pavilion, and her abilities are all said by herself. If people don't see what it is, they can't call themselves the position immediately.She wants to run the old store well with her own ability. When the old store is done well and her ability is recognized, the position of director will be her own.

When Yan Li's husband proposed a manager to come during the dish test last time, it was after he had talked with Zhuang Chujing alone.He felt that Zhuang Chujing was a talent, and he was introduced by a friend. In terms of relationship, Zhuang Chujing was someone on his side.But Yan Li was in charge of the restaurant before, and she arranged the staff. This time, she had to ask Yan Li to take a look at Zhuang Chujing.

When Yan Li met Zhuang Chujing and had a conversation, she gave an evaluation that she was capable, ambitious, and a catering person.If possible, replace Cao Xiaojuan first, and then transfer to the position of director.

The reason why Yan Li said that she can be transferred to the position of director is also due to the prejudice of women. After she knew the ambiguity between Mr. Wang and Manager Chen, she now found that Mr. Wang and Manager Meng were very close, and she felt disgusted in her heart. Many men have moral problems, don't like to see them, no matter how capable they are, they don't want to use them anymore.

She has another candidate for the position of director, and that is Zhou Xiaomei.Thinking of Zhou Xiaomei, Yan Li, a smart woman, I have to think a little bit more. Lao Tan is the director of kitchen affairs, and Zhou Xiaomei is brought by him. If Zhou Xiaomei becomes the operation director, then the lifeblood of the entire company will be in their hands.Although it is said that there is no doubt about employing people, there is no need to guard against people's hearts.

But Zhou Xiaomei is too good, she's good enough, she's so beautiful, not only men but also women will fall in love with her.Women's jealousy is very strong. Sometimes Yan Li, the helm of the Qinghua Pavilion, is unwilling to stand with Zhou Xiaomei when she arrives at the new store. She, who has always been confident, feels frustrated when she stands with Zhou Xiaomei. Some aspects are not as good as Zhou Xiaomei.

She does not want to use Zhou Xiaomei, but she can't find anything wrong with him. At the same time, she considers that once Zhou Xiaomei is moved, Old Tan will definitely have an idea.Lao Tan is not only gentle, but also very principled.If the employee does make a mistake, he doesn't say anything, and even solves the problem before you say it, leaving you with nothing to say.If the employee did not make a mistake and was punished or dismissed for no reason, he would immediately turn his back on him, and no matter who he was, he would dare to question him face to face.

It is because of the high prestige of this old Tan that the entire kitchen staff is convinced.Now that something happened in the kitchen, Yan Li felt that sometimes it was hard for her to talk about it, and only Lao Tan would listen to it.This also made her very uncomfortable, feeling that the boss's dignity had been challenged.

The old man told her that Lao Tan is a talent and can be reused, but when he is caught, he will dare to do anything once he can't be held. The most prominent performance is to kill him before playing, or even not playing.She has also learned in this regard, so take this trip to investigate as an example, she came back first, and Lao Tan went to Hunan without knowing it.When I found out, he was already coming back, and I was very angry.

But the results of the inspection were good, the beef problem was solved, and three new dishes were brought back, which sold well and the customers liked it very much.I have to admit that this is Lao Tan's ability. It would be great if he could say hello to himself in advance. After all, he is the boss, so he has to give face.But this guy doesn't seem to care about these at all, as long as he thinks it's right, he will do it, regardless of whether your boss is a boss or not.

I also looked at the hot pot plan he came up with, and it was really good, feasible, and unique, and there was no problem in following his plan.But the father-in-law and husband’s reminders are not unreasonable. He should not be allowed to have too much power and stretch his hands too far. The hot pot should be set aside separately and operated as another business, and he should not be asked to participate.

Regarding Lao Tan, she had exchanged opinions with the old man. The old man's opinion was to appropriately cut off some people brought by Lao Tan to reduce his strength. Lao Tan was not asked to participate in the hot pot, but only asked to be in charge of the Chinese food.If Lao Tan shows resistance, he can consider dismissing him.

The old man gave two reasons for his dismissal. The first is that Chinese food is now on the right track and the restaurant is operating normally. Always showing up, the company will be handed over to her husband in the future, and her husband will definitely do what he wants, and it is normal to change people.Old Tan can listen to her Yan Li, but not necessarily her husband.

After listening to her father's words, Yan Li always felt a little uneasy, but it's normal when she thinks about it. If she has been managing the company, she will always use Lao Tan, but after the new year, she has to raise a baby, and the little life in her stomach is useless. Reminds her all the time that she is going to be a mother.Once the motherhood hidden in a woman's bones is aroused, everything else has to be avoided.Now she just wants her husband to take over the entire company, and she can be a expectant mother at home with peace of mind.

But she was worried, because she knew what her husband was like.In terms of management, this man is indeed unique, and even surpasses himself.Not good at employing people, his character determines his pattern.I didn't ask him to participate in the management before, because I was afraid that his narrow-mindedness would ruin the restaurant.

Since her husband's father came down, she noticed the changes in this man. The old master's habit was gone, and with responsibility and responsibility, she began to care more and more about herself.This is what she is most happy about. Which woman doesn't want her man to treat her well and be responsible for the family.Now she can rest assured that her man will manage it, and she will make suggestions behind her back, and be a little woman.

Zhuang Chujing was very satisfied after changing the front desk of the old store, and the few people he brought worked hard.After all, the wages of social restaurants are higher than those of hotels, so you have to work hard for the sake of money, not to mention that the manager is still your old superior, so there is no reason not to work hard.

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yan Li's husband came to the old store and was very satisfied to see that the front desk was working in an orderly manner.After talking alone with Zhuang Chujing for a while, Zhuang Chujing introduced another manager, saying that his ability is not inferior to his own, but that he is a talent.

"If you have time, make an appointment to meet with the following. If you can, you can come and try the job." Yan Li's husband said.

"She's at home now, she's free anytime." Zhuang Chujing said.

Yan Li's husband thought for a while and said, "You ask her to come over at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and Boss Yan and I will arrive at ten o'clock."

"Okay." Zhuang Chujing agreed, and then asked calmly, "If she can do it, which store do you want her to go to?"

"Call her over first, and we'll talk after we finish talking."

Yan Li's husband didn't answer directly, and then asked: "Manager Zhuang, do you know any cooks, chopping boards, and dumpling workers?"

"Yes. How much do you need?"

"If you have any, introduce a few."

"Okay, why don't you go to Mr. Tan directly after you come here?"

"No, go directly to the Coarse Grain Office and find Manager Chen, who is in charge of personnel."

"okay, I get it."

There is still half a month to celebrate the new year, and the kitchen has been intensively stocking up these days, and at the same time preparing the raw materials for 23 Xiaonian.With the experience of the first two years, I am familiar with the way now, and I can prepare without on-site command, which makes me feel a lot easier.

Coarse Grains Office, I was just about to go out to visit the old store when Manager Chen opened the door and came in.

Ask directly: "Old Tan, is there a shortage of people in the kitchen now?"

"No shortage. Why, are there any candidates?" I asked.

"There are three dumpling workers, four cutting boards, and two chefs."

"Really? It's a strange thing. It's almost Chinese New Year and there are still people looking for work?" I asked curiously.

Manager Chen smiled mysteriously, and said in a low voice, "It's all together. They came from Binhai Hotel. They said they came to apply for the job after hearing from Manager Zhuang that our family was short of people."

"Oh--"

I didn't say that the kitchen is short of people. If there is a shortage of people, I don't find them through Manager Chen. They are all introduced by the insiders of the kitchen.If there is a shortage of chefs, it can be solved through friends, without bothering Manager Chen.But Zhuang Chujing introduced someone here when there was no shortage of people. She didn't say hello to me, but she knew who she said hello to with a stupid mind.

Reminiscent of another intern manager coming to the old store yesterday, I more or less understand what to do.Tell Manager Chen: "Sister Chen, stay here and tell them to come for an interview tomorrow."

Manager Chen looked at me and asked, "Lao Tan, you plan to leave, right?"

He smiled at her and said, "No, even if I go, I can't go now."

"Then you mean—"

"Now it's not what I mean, it's what the boss means. In addition, there are a few employees in the provincial capital who are homesick and want to resign a long time ago. They are just embarrassed to leave because I am here. Now they are recruiting people. , approve their resignation." I said.

Manager Chen looked at me strangely, then smiled knowingly, and said, "Alright, then I will inform them to come for an interview tomorrow."

I'm in a good mood now, and I can understand this normally.Knowing that Yan Li's husband is going to cut off the people I brought and reduce my strength.It's just that he thought too much, and he didn't have the idea of ​​occupying the mountain as king at all.Since he wants to do this, then cooperate.

Bao Peng and Fang Lin were about to get engaged, and they happened to be returning home during the Chinese New Year, so they directly told them to resign, otherwise they didn't plan to do it anymore. After the engagement, they planned to open a snack bar and start a business.Guan Ping and Li Yan also wanted to go back to the provincial capital, but they didn't tell me.Cao Ligui intends to go out to cook. The wages here are low and will not increase for a while. After all, he came from the chopping block.

Yu Xuexue wants to go back to the provincial capital to find a small restaurant to cook. This plan has been told to me a long time ago, and now he is asked to practice more basic skills on the stove, and he is going to send him to the fourth child after the New Year.

Yang Zhijun doesn't care, his younger brother can leave at any time.He also went to Lao Si's when he went back. Lao Si's is now operating Jiangnan fusion cuisine, and he plans to go there to learn.

Doing this is also a temptation, after all, Yan Li's husband didn't say it clearly, and Yan Li didn't say anything.After the people I brought submitted their resignations, they would talk to me if they didn't mean it. If they did, no one would reveal it, as if there was no such thing, so as to save embarrassment.

On the other hand, no matter how good the mentality is, I feel bad. After all, I have put in too much hard work. These brothers came from the provincial capital to help in the most difficult time. Now I feel a little sorry to send them back personally.
