Chapter 17: The Surprised Taozi
"Have you heard of Ippindo?"
"What Yipintang? Xixia Yipintang? Isn't that in the novel?"
"No, I'm talking about a restaurant on the pedestrian street, which is very special, you can try it. ”
"Oh, what's there to try? Aren't all restaurants like that? What other decent places are there in this small county besides the Sovereign Hotel? Don't make a fuss?"
"What is the Sovereign Hotel? The things in it are so expensive, and you can't eat enough, and the taste is not very fresh, you might as well try Yipintang's yellow braised chicken rice, the taste is unique and affordable." ”
In less than three days, the reputation of Yipintang was completely launched, and there was hardly anyone in the entire county who had not heard of it, and those who were curious had already found out, and those diners had already spread the reputation of Yipintang to all around, not only the county seat, but also the surrounding towns and towns, and the next county also knew something.
People with plenty of money and great curiosity flocked to him, making Chen Shi's business so hot that it exploded, and he and a few waiters were busy to exhaustion every day, with a daily turnover of tens of thousands and a net profit of several thousand, which made him excited. After being busy for a week or so, he couldn't hold it anymore and was ready to recruit.
In addition, he also changed the time to work, starting work an hour earlier in the morning and leaving work an hour earlier at night. Because there is hardly anyone after eleven o'clock in the night, but if it is an hour earlier in the morning, then he does not have to get up and busy, and he can leave it to the cook.
After a week of operation, the main products of Yipintang have been decided, breakfast in the morning, fast food at noon, fast food in the afternoon, fried skewers and spicy tang at night. It is very difficult for a restaurant to operate so much food, although he also wants to specialize in the same, but because the county has less traffic, if the cost of operating separately will rise sharply, for such a small place, specializing in the same food may not be able to return to the cost, so he has to concentrate on a hodgepodge, and only separate them one by one when the time is ripe.
He has been completely handed over to Sister Mei to manage the morning shift, at this time he hardly uses the store, and the night shift is handed over to Sister-in-law Yu, she is older than the others, mature and steady, sincere, Chen Shi decided to hand it over to her after a few days of testing.
Therefore, although Yipintang is popular now, he can almost say that he has nothing to do except for recruiters. Now the recruitment is mainly for kitchen workers, and apprentices who can stay to learn cooking skills cannot be the kind of people who have no perseverance in fishing for three days and drying nets for two days.
Zhao Dagang and Li Gui in the kitchen had already complained that they had too much work and couldn't be busy, so Chen Shi had to hurry up to recruit people to deal with it.
Less than half a day after the recruitment advertisement was posted, a young man came. His name is Wang Ping, seventeen or eighteen years old, he is a student at first glance, after his introduction, Chen Shi learned that he was just in his third year of high school, but his grades were not good, he could not be admitted to university, and his family conditions were poor, so he was not ready to study.
Chen Shi asked him if he would like to learn to be a chef in the future and do this business permanently? He said that he would consider it, not necessarily a permanent chef, and Chen Shi asked him if he would like to learn now? He replied in the affirmative, so Chen Shi kept him, and the salary was the same as that of a waiter, but if he was promoted to become a chef, then the salary would be doubled immediately.
Such a person, Chen Shi thinks that only with a good future can he exchange his loyalty, instead of letting him see boring work in the kitchen all day long, so Chen Shi drew a big pie for him, boasting that he will be a veteran figure after the establishment of the restaurant group in the future, and it will not be a problem to get shares at that time.
This is a student who has just come out of school, and when he was fooled by Chen Shi, he was immediately overjoyed and full of enthusiasm, and he even recommended someone to Chen Shi. At this time, Chen Shi happened to be short of people, so the two hit it off and immediately asked Wang Ping to call someone.
The person who came was Wang Ping's classmate, the conditions were similar to him, the two were friends, their personalities were not much different, and their character was reliable. So, in less than a day's effort, Chen Shi recruited two apprentices, one Wang Ping and one Zhai De.
Chen Shi assigned them a job, Wang Ping went to the morning shift, learned from Zhao Dagang, Zhai De went to the night shift, and learned from Li Gui, although the two were not in the same shift, but the work had to be arranged by the arrangement, so there was nothing to complain about, and they directly obeyed Chen Shi's arrangement.
After solving this matter, Chen Shi finally took some time out of his busyness to rest.
Since the restaurant opened, he has lived in the restaurant every day, and he has not rented a room, and after about a week of leaving, he finally returned to this quiet little building.
Although it is not far from the county seat, compared with the noisy and lively county, it can be described as silent here, only a few chickens and dogs bark occasionally, and occasionally a few children's crying and laughing, completely a picture of a farmhouse, without the slightest breath left by modern industry, the only thing that makes people feel a little modern is the rows of telephone poles and the satellite antenna receivers like cauldrons on the roofs of each house.
Feeling out the key to open the door, he walked directly to his cabin, and when he passed the second floor, he heard a commotion in the house, it seemed that Taozi and his cousin were playing games, he did not disturb them, but went to his own room, looking at the empty room, he always felt that there was some lack of life.
Do you want to buy some furniture? After thinking about it, he gave up because he had a bigger goal of selling houses in the county.
The current house price can be said to be the price of cabbage, only a thousand yuan per square meter, and the more expensive ones are only two thousand, compared to the tens of thousands in later generations, it is such a small county town to be three or four thousand five or six thousand one square meters.
Thinking of buying a house, he thought of his wife Li Yalian in his previous life, he remembered that she had been nagging about wanting a three-bedroom house, but both of them were reluctant to settle in the city because of the burden of the family, but they could only buy a narrow house with one bedroom and one living room.
In this life, Li Yalian should have gone to the southern factory now, and now she should have adapted to the work of the factory, right? Recalling the bits and pieces of his acquaintance with her, Chen Shi suddenly jumped up and scolded himself secretly: "What a stupid, I almost missed a big thing." ”
Although Chen Shi and Li Ya were in the same factory in the previous life, their acquaintance was not in the workshop, but on the Internet. When Chen Shi paid his first salary, he went online in the Internet café in the factory, so he applied for a QQ number, and when he was excited to add friends everywhere, he met Li Yalian by accident.
Li Yalian is in a similar situation to him, they entered the factory almost at the same time, and they also paid their salaries at the same time, both of them applied for QQ online on the same day at the same time, and after a simple understanding of each other, they found that they were so close, and then they slowly became familiar with each other, and gradually developed into a relationship between lovers.
Chen Chengcheng has no Internet access tools by his side, if he continues to be busy, he may miss the opportunity to meet Li Yalian, he believes that they will meet in both the past life and this life, so he hurriedly went out, he must buy a computer.
When he closed the door and went to the second floor, Tao Zi happened to come out of his aunt's house, and when he saw him, he asked in surprise, "Why have you been there these days? Why have you disappeared?"
Chen Shi said: "I'm busy, isn't the store just opened, so I haven't come back for the past few days." ”
Tao Zi smoked a cigarette and handed it to Chen Shi, who refused: "I don't smoke." ”
Tao Zi lit the fireworks himself and said: "You are a good drinker, but you don't smoke?" He thinks that smoking and drinking are the same thing, and if you learn to smoke, you should be able to drink, and if you learn to drink, you should also be able to smoke.
Chen Shi ignored him and asked, "What are you doing? Learn computers? How are you doing?"
Tao Zi scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "What kind of computer do you learn? Oh, by the way, you just said that you just opened, and there is a restaurant in the county that has just opened recently, and your business has not been affected, right?"
Chen Shi shook his head and said: "My business is also very good, I will take you to take a look when I am free another day, invite you to have a meal, and let you taste the specialties of our restaurant." ”
Tao Zi said yes, and then asked Chen Shi why he wanted to go? Chen Shi replied that he bought a computer, Tao Zi clapped his palms and said: "I'll go with you, I'll buy one too, now I'll go with you to explore the road, wait for you to buy it back and see if it's good, if the quality is good, I will buy the same one as you." ”
Chen Shi smiled, and then the two set off together.
On the way, Tao Zi told Chen Shi about the hot restaurant Yipintang, Chen Shi was secretly proud, he intended to show off his achievements, took Tao Zi to the pedestrian street, and said: "I'll take you to my restaurant first, and by the way, I will invite you to eat a fast food." ”
"Fast food? You also do fast food? You can't open a Yipintang, right?" Tao Zi was a little puzzled.
Chen Shi did not answer him, but led the way in front, striding forward, leaving Taozi behind, making him shout.
After a while, the two of them came to the door of Yipintang, and Tao Zi opened his mouth wide and said, "You really opened it? I didn't expect it? You disappeared for a week, and you actually did such a big thing? How much money can you make this day?"
Chen Shi smiled and didn't answer a word, just walked in, then found a vacant seat to sit down, and called the waiter Xiaolian.
Xiaolian is wearing work clothes. He was dressed in a crimson dress that turned yellow on the shoulders, and he looked very conspicuous, wearing a peaked cap and a ponytail with his hair tied in a ponytail, looking neat and very capable. The waiters here are dressed in the same way, while the chefs wear white coats for a professional and hygienic look.
