Zhang Laosan is a man of temperament, he has no heart, he is just a little naïve, when he saw Ma Tianyao coming in, he didn't know how to give up his seat, he didn't know how to pour tea, and he patronized and shouted Liu Jianing.

At this time, Liu Jianing came out of the back room in her pajamas, and was also a little happy to see Ma Tianyao, so after she poured tea, the three of them chatted.

"Tianyao, where have you been in the past 20 days? I read what was said in the news on the Internet, there was all sorts of mess, I was missing, I was kidnapped, I was arrested, but I was scared to death, I sent you text and called, I can't be contacted, what happened......

"Hehe, nothing, it's the first time Tubaozi went abroad, just some time before the visa, I went to travel with the little ones, the mobile phone has long been out of battery, and we don't know how to use foreign phone card wireless networks, they are a bunch of junior high school graduates who have no culture, so they lost contact with the country......"

"Huh, I'm scared to death these days, it's okay, I heard that you came back the day before yesterday, I wanted to go over and see, but there were too many people, and I had to invite a card to go in, so I didn't go over, I went back to my hometown yesterday, my dad was not in good health, he just had surgery, and he thought it was too noisy here, so I sent it to my hometown to recuperate......"

"What's wrong with uncle?"

"Brain tumor, but now it's fine, the operation was successful. By the way, you won the championship this time, tell me quickly, are foreign chefs very good? Also, I heard that Xiaoxiao made a fortune by making a gamble? Is it true?"

Liu Jianing was also very curious about Ma Tianyao's trip, the two chatted, Zhang Laosan occasionally interjected a sentence or two, and most of the time he would be called away by students who came to buy water, cigarettes, drinks, and ice cream.

When the conversation was almost over, Ma Tianyao said jokingly.

"The third child, you have turned Jianing's private restaurant into a private shop, I remember that you used to sell roasted sweet potatoes and roasted corn, why don't you sell them now?"

She inadvertently joked, but she didn't expect it, which caused Liu Jianing to sigh with a long sigh.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

She asked, Liu Jianing sighed again, looked at her empty shop, and showed a wry smile.

"Alas, business is sluggish......"

"Business is sluggish? Isn't it? When I passed by before, I saw that the attendance rate of your store is still quite high, and isn't it also open for takeout?"

"It used to be very good, but it was all the fame I had accumulated before, fame, whether it was good or not, it might make your business popular in a day, but after it was consumed, the business would be beaten back to its original shape, just like many Internet celebrity restaurants now, when it was popular, you couldn't queue up to eat, and if you go again in two days, how can there be a person......"

Liu Jianing sighed and shook his head.

"I probably analyzed it, my private restaurant, I can't go up or down, I just suffocated to death. You see, there are no special tricks in the food, and the price is 50 percent more expensive than in similar restaurants! Go to the low end, the price is too high, go to the high-end, and these white-collar bosses don't look down on it, and they can't get up or down in the middle......

Ma Tianyao nodded slowly, and listened to Liu Jianing speak again.

"Especially if you are not in this month, we have already begun to lose money, the ingredients that come back cannot be sold have to be thrown away, water, electricity, and rent all need money, so the third child is also in a hurry, so he secretly sells some ice cream cigarettes and other subsidy expenses. ”

"Sneaky?"

"Yes, these are not in the business scope of the hotel, especially cigarettes, it is necessary to apply for a license, I was almost fined last time, my dad spent a lot of money in the hospital, and the hotel business is not very good, and it is about to start the summer vacation, and it is estimated that I will close the door by then, otherwise I will lose more." ”

"It's all so serious?"

"Almost, maybe the main thing is to blame myself, the craftsmanship is not good, unlike you, I was a little unconvinced when you won the championship of "The King of Chefs in the World" before, but now it's ridiculous to think about it, you have become the world's chef god, but the restaurant I run is about to collapse because it can't support it, I think...... Maybe on the day of the closure, the local news will write a sentence that the restaurant of Liu Jianing, the former eight-finalist of "The King of Chefs in the World", closed down due to poor management......

Liu Jianing looked bitter and smiled self-deprecatingly, Ma Tianyao frowned, she really didn't expect that the private restaurant run by Liu Jianing would be miserable to this extent, and said that maybe this is the catering business, not everyone is as lucky as themselves, and they make a lot of money by opening restaurants every year, but there are also many people who lose their pants when they close down......

There is also a sentence that is quite right, what you see in front of people is glamorous, and you don't know at all, in fact, those people you envy are often also envious of you.

"Since business is not good, it is better to close the shop......

"yes...... I...... Huh? What did you just say?"

Liu Jianing nodded, and as soon as he was halfway through his words, he was a little stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked at Ma Tianyao, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

Ma Tianyao repeated with a smile.

"I mean...... Since you feel that business is not good, you can simply close the shop. I've got a good business in the store, come and help me do it......"

"Help, you mean...... Let's two go over and cook for you?"

This time, not only Liu Jianing was stunned, but even Zhang Laosan was a little stunned.

The two used to be peers, although the relationship was good, but the relationship was too close and somewhat awkward, the business was good and jealous, and the business was poor and inferior.

Now listening to Ma Tianyao say this, my heart is even more awkward, although I know that she also has good intentions, but how uncomfortable it is to listen to this.

What's more, the psychological gap from the boss to the employee also made the two a little unacceptable.

But then again, going to Ma Tianyao's restaurant as a chef is really a very good choice now.

First, I am familiar with other people, and the relationship between colleagues is easy to get along with.

The second is that Ma Tianyao is generous, gives generous treatment, and the dividend at the end of the year is particularly high, she heard about it during the Chinese New Year last year, and she was envious for a long time at that time.

Three one is because of lack of money, their private food turnover is not good, this half a year, and to see a doctor for his father, and in this mortgage to buy a wedding house, the hand is really not very rich, if you can not reverse the benefits of private food, then your life will be very difficult in the later stage.

Liu Jianing's mind was spinning rapidly, and he had already thought about the future, and looked at Zhang Laosan, the other party was also thinking about it, obviously like her, he didn't know whether he should agree or not.

Just when the two were in a dilemma, they heard Ma Tianyao smile and wave his hand to correct.

"No, no, no, it's not for me, it's not for me to be a cook. ”

"So what are you...... You're not going to let us go over and be waiters, right?"

"We're really short of waiters, but it's a waste to let you go, I think...... We can ...... in the form of cooperation."

"Cooperation?"
