As Gülen once said, although Haizhou is not a first-tier city like Kyoto, Magic City, Guangdong, Shenzhen and Hong Kong, even if it can only rank last few in the second-tier cities, there are still a lot of rich people who are willing to spend money on food!
When the name of "Taste Zhai" gradually spread in Haizhou City through word of mouth, the attendance rate of Li Jian's hot pot restaurant also rose day by day. Business is getting boomer.
After only a little more than a month of opening, the business of 'Taste Zhai' has completed the transformation from 'door to door' and has completely stabilized.
At lunchtime on weekdays, the attendance rate is always above 60%.
On weekdays, dinner time is basically full from half past six to ten o'clock, at least ninety percent. Even after 10 o'clock and until 12 o'clock, which should be a supper, has about 40% of the attendance.
As for the weekends, it's even more terrible. From the time the door opened in the morning until it closed in the evening, there were almost no empty seats!
There is always a queue of more than 30 meters outside the door, far away.
Even because there are too many guests, and the part-time girls and younger brothers have started school, 'Taste Zhai' has to expand again, except for the shift manager and cashier, the number of employees in other positions has almost doubled!
Even so, every day is very busy.
However, this busyness is only the busyness of the employees of 'Taste Zhai', and it has little to do with Li Jian, the boss.
Except for every two or three days, Li Jian needs to set up a row of more than a dozen pots and stoves in his private kitchen and work for hours to make the base stock, and at other times, Li Jian leisurely makes the employees who are busy spanking their feet red-eyed.
The first few days of opening were pretty good, although Li Jian didn't care about anything, didn't help anything, but he could still honestly sit in the office, except for showing his face when he came out to go to the toilet, using French that no one else could understand, and flirting and flirting with Sister Cui and Sister Yu, Li Jian kept his duty as his vase boss and was his quiet otaku at other times.
However, in the past week or so, after the business has completely stabilized, Li Jian, the boss, is too unpleasant. Even the vase owner and otaku don't do it, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, except for the occasional 'taste of Zhai' to show a brush of presence, the rest of the time is completely gone.
There were a few times when the manager of the shift was pestered by a few guests who asked for a discount and wiped out, so he called Li Jian, who was still very impatient and said:
"You're the manager, you can just do these things yourself. If the guests are pestering, you tell them, 'I love to eat, don't come next time.'" If it's endless, find a property security guard. If the property security still can't handle it, call the police.
Anyway, in the future, unless there is a big incident such as a murder case in the store, don't bother me. ”
Li Jian broke down the shift manager impatiently, and then hung up the phone. As a result, the guest side was not good, and the manager with the shift was angry enough by him, the boss.
The two managers have been in this business for some years, and they have never seen such a boss who doesn't take customers seriously.
'I love to eat, I don't like to eat, don't come next time', is there a boss who talks to customers like this?
Finally, after holding his breath and sending the customers away, the manager looked at the full store, and then at the long line at the door, and finally figured it out.
Shaking his head helplessly, he sighed in his heart:
"No way, don't worry about selling, it's so capricious!"
…………
No matter how aggrieved the two shift managers were, and no matter how busy the other employees were, Li Jian felt quite comfortable during this time anyway.
During this time, the greedy mother took the opportunity to come to Weizhai to eat, and also mentioned a blind date to Li Jian a few times, but Li Jian, who was actually the nominal boss at all, pushed it over under the pretext of the work of 'Weizhai'.
After the opening of "Taste Zhai", the initial period of recession, losing a lot of money every day, in the eyes of my mother, Li Jian, the boss, must be very stressed, and he must not be relieved to leave this store. Therefore, when Li Jian refused with an embarrassed face, Gülen understood very well and did not force Li Jian, who was in a 'bad mood', to go on a blind date.
These days, 'Taste Zhai' is a booming mess, which can be called a daily gold. There is at least 100,000 flowing water a day, although the mother compares her heart to her heart, it is estimated that Li Jian's mood will be good, but Li Jian uses such a huge benefit as an excuse to push and push, and it is not good for Gülen to hardpull her son to take time out of the blind date.
After all, he is also the boss of hundreds of dollars a minute, how precious time is! Even Gülen feels that spending a few hours on a blind date is too luxurious.
Therefore, the blind date has never been officially put on the agenda, and Li Jian has been completely comfortable during this time.
During the day, either practicing or spending time on the Internet, or simply wandering around in idleness, it will soon pass.
At night, his wallet was completely bulging, not looking for Xue Qi to drink. It's the dad who is holding his wallet and being managed by his mother, and he doesn't get drunk and doesn't return.
The days go by, that's called a cozy!
……………………
met in 'Taste Zhai', and my mother mentioned 'blind date', and Li Jian had thousands of good reasons to refuse. But if she goes home, although Li Jian can also use Taste Zhai as an excuse, she always feels that she is not fighting at home, and she has no bottom when she faces her mother.
Therefore, in the past month after the opening of 'Taste Zhai', although because of my mother, father, and Xue Qi, I have come to eat at Taste Zhai, and Li Jian has not met everyone less. But Li Jian never went to her mother's house again.
However, even if Li Jian doesn't want to go back today, he must go back.
Because in the afternoon, when Li Jian was taking a nap on the beach chair by the sea, he received a notice from Xue Qi that Xue Xiao, the elder brother who was the deputy mayor of Niutang Town, a remote mountainous area, came back. According to the rules of the Xue family, the first meal at home must be reunited, and if there are no irresistible factors, you must attend, and you must eat it at home.
Therefore, Li Jian slept on the deck chair on the beach by the sea until five o'clock, and when the sun was less than a chopstick high from the top of the mountain, he got up and rushed to his mother's house.
Standing in front of the door of her mother's house, Li Jian took out the key and was just about to open the door, when she heard the lock spring ring, and the door was pulled open from the inside, and then Li Jian saw her mother's kind and scary smile.
Kindness is naturally because this smile is really kind, and scary is purely Li Jian's psychological shadow. Because, during this time, every time my mother forced Li Jian to go on a blind date, she laughed like this.
"Are you back, why are you standing there? Come into the house, your eldest brother and sister-in-law have been here for a while, and they are waiting for you!"
Seeing Li Jian's somewhat stiff expression, after the mother snorted angrily, she grabbed Li Jian's arm and pulled him in.
After Li Jian changed his shoes and entered the house, he immediately saw two people sitting on the sofa in the living room.
The middle-aged man who was sitting between Xue Qi and Xue Zhiguo, about thirty years old, sitting straight, already with a slightly small belly, and a little bureaucratic was the boss of the Xue family, Xue smiled.
I have to say that the genes of the old Xue family are indeed much stronger than the old Li family.
Xue Zhiguo and Ge Lan were a pair of handsome guys and beauties when they were young, and even now, they are handsome uncles and beautiful grandmothers.
Xue Xiao and Xue Qi, the two brothers, are also handsome guys at the school grass level.
Xue Xiao, who is over thirty years old, sat there, his handsome appearance, coupled with the calmness of age and the temperament of an official, he was like a little girl with a very weak 'Oba'!
The round face sitting on the single sofa next to Xue Xiao, with a smile on her face, looks like a beautiful young woman with a virtuous temperament, is naturally the sister-in-law, Zhang Shengqiu.
Although Li Jian's relationship with this eldest brother is far less close than that between him and Xue Qi, Li Jian and this eldest brother have not seen each other for hundreds of years in this life and previous life, so naturally they miss it very much.
Therefore, as soon as they met, Li Jian greeted him warmly:
"Brother, you and my sister-in-law finally remembered to come back. You know, I haven't seen you for so long, and I can't even think of your brother!
You, the deputy mayor, are even busier than Xi Da and Li Dada, and you have a lot of opportunities!"
Speaking of this as if complaining, Li Jian's expression suddenly changed, changed to a shy, sat on the armrest of Zhang Shengqiu's sofa, looked at his sister-in-law with a condescending smile and continued:
"Of course, I think my brother is just polite and talking. The most important thing is that I miss my sister-in-law who looks like a moon. Sister-in-law, if my brother is not happy to come back in the future, you can ignore him and come back by yourself. ”
Saying that, Li Jian also raised his eyebrows ruffianly, and made a 'very treacherous' virtue.
At this time, Xue Qi, who was originally sitting on the long sofa with Xue Xiao, saw it, and also came to have fun, and stepped over and sat on the armrest of the sofa on the other side of Zhang Shengqiu. Then, Zhang Shengqiu said to Li Jian:
"Scissors, it's definitely useless for you to invite, it's too late for your sister-in-law to bother you! If you want your sister-in-law to come back, you have to look at me!"
Saying that, Xue Qi had the same cheap smile on his face as Li Jian before, and raised his eyebrows at Zhang Shengqiu with the same ripples, and said in a very affectionate tone:
"Sister-in-law, don't stop coming back because of disgusting scissors. If you miss me, come back often!"
Watching the two younger brothers play live treasures in front of their wives one by one, making his wife laugh and tremble, Xue Xiao couldn't help laughing.
However, although the smile on his face was obvious, his tone seemed to be very angry:
"You two stinky boys, get out of the way for me, stay away from my wife, or don't blame me, a brother, for smoking you! Sister-in-law, can you also flirt? It's just not big or small!"
As he spoke, Xue Xiao stood up as if he was really tasted, and pulled the two cheap younger brothers away one by one.
Li Jian and Xue Qi, who were pulled away, both made a sad expression as if they had been beaten with a stick, and while being pulled by Xue Xiao and walking backwards, they desperately turned back to Zhang Shengqiu and threw flattering eyes, and muttered in their mouths:
"Sister-in-law, my brother's vinegar vat has turned over, let's talk about it today, let's be alone together when we have time, and then talk quietly!"
The brothers laughed so hard that Zhang Shengqiu couldn't stop laughing, and after he couldn't breathe, he turned his head very unconvinced, and protested to his brother:
"Boss, it's not right for you to say that! Why can't sister-in-law flirt, haven't you heard a saying? Called: It's not as delicious as dumplings, but it's fun...... Hey, hey!"
The undisciplined manipulation of the two younger brothers made Xue Xiao's brother's expression more and more helpless, while Zhang Shengqiu's sister-in-law laughed more and more happily.
