Today is the first day that Chen Shi took over the restaurant.

He came to the restaurant early in the morning, and the staff had not yet arrived.

There are ten employees in this restaurant, one supervisor, two cooks, and the rest are waiters. The two cooks had the highest salaries, eight hundred for one person, four hundred and five for the waiter, and six hundred for the supervisor.

This salary is less than a fraction of what it will be ten years later, but in this small county, such a salary is not bad, and as far as he knows, the salary of some people here is only about two hundred.

Ten years later, 200 yuan is not enough to spend two days, and now 200 yuan can actually invite a person, which is really affordable.

The director of the restaurant is called Huang Mei, Sister Lu calls her Sister Mei, and Chen Shi also calls her Sister Mei. She came the earliest every day and went back the latest, because the boss usually doesn't come, and she manages the whole restaurant. It can be seen that Sister Lu trusts her very much, and Chen Shi has no plans to change people, but I have to talk to her about it today.

Around ten o'clock, Sister Mei came.

Chen Shi introduced himself first, and then talked about the reception of the restaurant, and Sister Mei was also notified, of course she knew that there was a change of boss. For her, it doesn't matter who is the boss, the important thing is that the monthly salary is paid as usual, the business is better, there is no possibility of bankruptcy, and it is good to work that can make her feel at ease.

Yesterday, Sister Lu had already settled their salaries, and from today onwards, Chen Shi would pay them wages.

After getting acquainted with Sister Mei, Chen Shi asked her, "Sister Mei, when can the others come? What time do you usually commute to and from work?"

As soon as Chen Shi asked, Sister Mei immediately talked about the recent situation. The ten of them worked the morning and evening shifts, starting at half past ten in the morning and continuing until half past five in the afternoon, and working until twelve o'clock in the evening. Of course, Sister Mei is the supervisor, so she has to be there sooner or later, because she also has to work as a cashier.

Chen Shi thought about it, he felt that such a morning and evening shift was too leisurely, not even eight hours, and the salary was so high, the most important thing was that the business was not good.

One is that there is a problem with the positioning, the restaurant itself does not have a signature dish, and there are no outstanding advantages, and Chen Shi is preparing to work as a fast food restaurant, so it must be changed. This change will definitely make people dissatisfied, especially now when they are on the verge of bankruptcy, if the employee picks and does not do it, he will not be able to find someone to fill the vacancy for a while.

In Sister Mei's introduction, Chen Shi had a preliminary understanding of the restaurant, and after a while, the people who went to work in the morning came.

In addition to Sister Mei, they are chef Zhao Dagang, waiters Xiaolian, Sister-in-law Su and Gui Ying. Zhao Dagang is a man in his thirties, he is not only familiar with the home cooking of Wei County, but also can cook ordinary Sichuan and Hunan cuisine, but the cooking is average, not so fine, and the cooking skills are not very good.

In this small county, cooking skills like Zhao Dagang can be considered improvised, because the people who come to eat are not so picky, and they can be more particular, and because of this, the restaurant has not retained regular customers, so that it has fallen to the verge of bankruptcy.

After a brief introduction, the first thing Chen Shi announced was to close the business for rectification today, call everyone at noon, and then they have a meal and talk about future problems.

If a restaurant wants to gain a firm foothold in the fiercely competitive market, it can't do without specialty dishes, and it can't do without one or two clever chefs, although Chen Shi can't find a smart chef, but he already has an idea, and when everyone comes at noon, he has to surprise them.

At twelve o'clock at noon, Chen Shi personally cooked, and he made a table of dishes for ten employees.

The people on the evening shift have already arrived, the cook Li Gui, the waiters Yan'er, Chunxiang, Li Jing and Sister-in-law Yu.

After introducing each other, everyone took their seats. For this boss, they had heard about it yesterday, and what they didn't expect was that the first meeting with the boss was actually at the dinner table, and what was even more unexpected was that the boss cooked himself.

For a chef, as long as he smells the aroma of the dish and sees the dish, he can distinguish the good from the bad. This is especially true of Zhao Dagang and Li Gui. A round table in front of them was full of all kinds of dishes, some of which they wanted to make but could not make, some of which they had never seen or heard of, and some of which they had heard of but had not seen in person.

In short, a table of dishes looks appetizing.

"The boss is an expert?"

"How can you do catering if you're not an expert?"

Chen Shi raised his hand and pressed it down gently, asking everyone to stop talking, and then said: "Everyone, my name is Chen Shi, I will be your boss in the future, and I will pay your salary, don't find the wrong person when the time comes, Sister Lu doesn't recognize you, she has already sold you to me." ”

Everyone laughed, and Chen Shi said: "From today on, our restaurant will change, not only to change, but also to make a profit, and the business will be booming, I think you may not have confidence, but it doesn't matter, I will show you what business is." ”

Chen Shi looked at the two chefs and said, "You two are both chefs, now I will test you, what are the names of the dishes on the table?"

Zhao Dagang said first: "This dish is mapo tofu, this dish is boiled fish, this dish is sauerkraut fish, this is salted crispy chicken, and this duck neck I don't know what to name, I haven't seen the last one." ”

This last dish is Chen Shi's specialty, in his previous life, he was fortunate to work as a small worker in a restaurant, so he learned this dish, although this dish seems ordinary, but it is not very famous in the southwest region, because this is a Lu dish.

Chen Shi looked at Li Gui again, and Li Gui also shook his head and said, "I'm the same as Dagang, I can't recognize it." ”

Chen Shi was not surprised, and said with a smile: "This dish is called yellow stewed chicken, this is our signature dish in the future, whether our restaurant can be popular depends on it, as for duck neck, this is a snack, the flavor is unique, and it will also be one of our main brands in the future." ”

Not only the duck neck, Chen Shi expected to get out the duck offal, and even the whole duck would be a delicacy on someone else's table. He doesn't know if there are brands such as Jiujiu Duck, Delicious Duck, and Juewei Duck now, but there are none in this county, so this is a blank market, and there is a lot to do, how can he let it go?

"Let's start eating! I see you're all drooling. ”

Chen Shi moved the chopsticks first, and no one dared to move if he didn't move. While eating, he said: "Tomorrow will start to officially work, let me say a little first, you were too idle in the past, I am ready to increase the workload for you, and the time of work has also been changed, from six o'clock in the morning to three o'clock in the afternoon, from three o'clock to twelve o'clock a shift, you are still the original two shifts, which are on the morning shift, which are on the night shift, and you are clear by yourself." ”

As soon as Chen Shi finished speaking, Sister Mei asked, "What about me? I won't go up from six o'clock to twelve o'clock, right?"

Sister Mei didn't have a morning and evening shift in the past, she always went to work from morning to night, not only to manage the restaurant, but also to work as a cashier, which was long and had a lot of work.

Chen Shi said: "Sister Mei, you are the same, there will be me in the future, and I will usually be in a restaurant, so you can rest assured." ”

It used to be seven hours, which was very leisurely, but now Chen Shi has increased two hours at once, and everyone has been on it for nine hours, which makes everyone suddenly a little uncomfortable.

However, labor laws are not so widespread these days, and employees don't know how to protect their rights, so the boss can say whatever he wants, and the only thing they have to worry about is wages.

It was Sister Mei who asked him, because she could be said to be their leader. She asked, "Boss, how do you calculate your salary?" and when will your salary be paid?"

Generally speaking, whether it is a large enterprise or a small company, the time of salary payment is around the 15th, but Chen Shi didn't want to scare away the employees because of this, so he set it on the first day of every month.

He said: "The salary is paid on the first day of every month, and the salary remains the same, and I will give you as much as Sister Lu gave you in the past." If you have objections, you should raise them quickly, and if you don't want to do it, say it early, don't sneak away one day, it's not good. Even if you don't do it, at least we know each other, and if we can't be friends, we don't have to be enemies, right?"

Everyone agreed, no one wanted to leave, they were already very happy to have a job, the only thing that was depressed was the re-established working hours of the boss, but this little detail did not affect them.

Chen Shi asked again: "Is there anyone who doesn't want to do it?"

Everyone replied in the affirmative, so he said: "Since this is the case, then I will talk about the future work requirements, first of all, the image problem, tomorrow I will give each of you a work clothes, uniform dress, and various rules and regulations I will also promulgate one by one, everything I have not said, you can make mistakes, but I have repeatedly reminded you that if you still make mistakes again and again, then you will have to deduct your salary." ”

As soon as he said that he was going to work, everyone was moved.

Chen Shi continued: "We will talk about the system later, and we will now talk about tomorrow's work." Which of you works the morning shift and who works the night shift? ”

In the end, an agreement was reached that a group of people led by Zhao Dagang would work the morning shift, and those led by Li Gui would work the night shift.

Chen Shi said to Zhao Dagang: "Tomorrow is our first day of opening, so we have to be a hit, we don't fry vegetables before ten o'clock, we only sell breakfast." ”

Zhao Dagang was a little embarrassed: "Boss, what kind of breakfast do you want to sell? I'm afraid I won't be able to make it myself." ”

Chen Shi dispelled his worries and said: "I will take you for a while, it won't take long to fully learn, at most a week, breakfast doesn't need you to be very skillful, you will know tomorrow." ”

"In this way, I am relieved that I can learn cooking from the boss, and I can't ask for it. Zhao Dagang is telling the truth, since Chen Shi made a table of dishes that he couldn't make, he admired the boss in his heart, although the boss was very young, but what he admired was a capable person, as a cook, it was natural to admire a person with better cooking skills than him.
