Chapter 29: The hotel opens
After Zhang Yan returned to the dormitory, Fan Pingping mysteriously handed a painting folder to Zhang Yan and said, "Take a good look, it's very good." ”
"What is this?"
"Lin Man's painting folder. Chic stolen out, rare to see. "Apparently both she and Chic have seen it.
Zhang Yan shrunk into her bed and looked through the picture folder. Page by page is like a diary, telling about my daily life. There are military training, classes, participating in volleyball leagues, cycling, walking alone, reading books in the library, and so on. There are several portraits of Li Xiuli in the middle. In one of them, Li Xiuli is wearing a long skirt, the skirt is flying, her hair is fluttering, on the boulevard, the sun shines through the treetops and spreads light spots on her, the facial lines are very soft, showing the brightness of the girl, and the whole sketch is suitable for movement and quiet. It seems that Lin Man does have two brushes on character sketches.
Zhang Yan counted, nearly 200 pages, counting, since the freshman year, Lin Man has been drawing, painting Zhang Yan, and painting Zhang Yan's life almost every day. But I didn't draw the process of playing ball and getting acquainted with Lin Man. Zhang Yan remembered that during that time, Lin Man often had headaches, and he always pinched the pen off, which was really silly and cute, and it was understandable that he didn't sketch.
Li Xiuli also wanted to see it, but Zhang Yan didn't give it. The two quarreled for a while, and Li Xiuli succeeded. Li Xiuli wanted her portrait, but Zhang Yan closed the folder and held it in her arms.
"Mine, all mine. ”
"That's me. ”
"That's mine, too. "That's a trick. After getting along with Lin Man a lot, Laipi's skills will naturally be learned.
"Are you really friends with Lin Man?"
Zhang Yan denied: "We are just friends. He added, "Friends who have a lot of fun." Then he counterattacked: "Since you don't have feelings for Zhao Bin, how about thinking about Lin Man?" He is really good, but he is not tall enough. ”
Li Xiuli said vigilantly: "What are you talking nonsense? You treat him as a treasure, but others will not." ”
"I just think you two are a good match. You're still fellow countrymen, and you have a common language. ”
Li Xiuli rolled her eyebrows: "Okay, when you dump him, I will seriously consider your suggestion." After saying these words seriously, Li Xiuli began to giggle, looking heartless.
Zhang Yan was so angry, no wonder Lin Man sometimes couldn't talk to her. If you say it's good, it's to admit that you've been friends with Lin Man before, and if it's not good, it's even more to admit that you have a good impression of Lin Man.
With the strong participation of the beauties, everyone's enthusiasm for work is high, the efficiency is doubled, and a few days later, the catering department of Lin Man's "Food Culture Service Company" was officially opened. Through the Youth League Committee, two internal telephones of the school were opened. There are two signs hanging at the door, one is the name of the store "Food for the Sky" determined by everyone after screening, and the other is the gold-lettered signboard "Ningzhou Institute of Technology College Student Entrepreneurship Service Center", referred to as the service center, and the person in charge of the center is Lin Man and Zhang Yan. It is said that the words on the sign were inscribed by the principal himself, and Lin Man deliberately went to pat Secretary Zheng's sycophants for this.
The first project of the "Food and Beverage Department" was to sell steamed buns.
During this time, they overcame basic problems such as chopping meat in large quantities, kneading dough, and wrapping buns. For example, not everyone knows how to wrap buns, except for Lin Man, Boss Fan and Li Xiuli, no one else will be able to do so. Zhang Yan was almost taught by Lin Man, and Lin Man ate some tofu for this, and he was happy. Others, trained by hired pastry chefs.
There is also the issue of food storage. As students, they have an unstable amount of time to work, and they can't get up in the early hours of the morning every day to make steamed buns and sell them. So you need to be flexible in scheduling, wrapping it in advance, freezing it, and taking it out when you need it. The investment in buying a freezer is a bit large, Zhang Yan gave full play to the advantage of her popularity, and rented two old freezers from the logistics department.
The biggest problem is the lack of people. For non-professional bun makers like Lin Man, the production efficiency is too low, and in order to reduce costs and don't want to hire people, what should I do?
At this time, "Xiao Dian Gui" Yu Jun came to find Lin Man. Yu Jun was of medium height, black and thin, with a few fresh bruises on his face, and he looked bitter and hateful. He deliberately combed his hair, but unfortunately his hair was too oily, and he didn't know how long he hadn't washed it. If the hair falls out and goes to the wok, there is no need to put oil in the stir-fry.
"Something?" Lin Man didn't plan to give him a good look.
"Prince Jin was beaten. ”
Meddlesome. Lin Man originally planned this, but Zhang Yan warned Lin Man not to fight, the leaders of the Youth League Committee looked at him, so he had to give up temporarily. "Oh. Lin Man made an indifferent look, pointed to Yu Jun's face, and said coldly, "There is too much paint."
Xiao Diangui Yu Jun didn't react in time, and subconsciously wiped it with his hand, and saw Lin Man looking at him with a smile, realizing that he had overdone the drama and exposed his flaws. Think about it, it's just a golden prince, and it won't make your nose blue and your face swollen.
"I'm going to tell people everywhere that you paid me to fight. Xiao Dian Gui used his killer move.
It's so toothless. This kid's crooked tricks are constant.
"What do you want to do?"
"Find food for my brothers and a job. ”
"Aren't you renting out the cafeteria cabinets?"
Xiao Diangui Yu Jun explained that since he could not collect rent in one canteen, the cabinets in other canteens could no longer collect rent.
"I'm not a big boss. "There are more than a dozen of them, and they can't afford to hire them.
"We don't need wages, we just need to eat. We don't pick and choose from hard work. ”
If this is the case, they can find work in many places.
"I looked for a lot of places and no one wanted to hire us. Xiao Diangui Yu Jun explained.
That is, if a team is known for causing trouble, and there are several injuries every day, who would want to hire them?
Others didn't dare to hire them because they were afraid that these children would cause trouble, but Lin Man was not afraid, and he would clean them up if he didn't obey. The most important thing is that talent is rare. Lin Man found that Xiao Diangui's hands were black enough and his brain was alive enough, and he was really a rare talent. The big guys in the story have to accept a few people who do dirty work.
"Who will they call the boss in the future?"
“…… Shouting you. Xiao Diangui gritted his teeth and said.
"What about you?"
"Huh?"
Lin Man was not in a hurry. If Xiao Dian Gui recognizes himself as the boss so easily, Lin Man doesn't want it.
"Two conditions. The first condition is to return the 200 yuan I cheated from Zhang Yan. Lin Man has always been angry about Xiao Diangui selling Lin Man's paintings to Zhang Yan.
"I really don't have any money. "If Xiao Dian is rich, he can't find comfort here in Lin Man, who is afraid of whom?
"Forget it, you owe it first. There is also a condition, everyone must wash their hair every day, otherwise don't come. Lin Man was also generous.
With more than a dozen strong laborers, time-consuming and laborious problems such as chopping stuffing and washing noodles and vegetables are not a problem. It's a pity that the buns made by these guys are so ugly that they can only eat for themselves.
Lin Man's requirements for buns are not to be big, but to taste good. Therefore, a lot of time was spent on the preparation of the bun filling, and the optimal material ratio was recorded to ensure the stability of the taste in the future.
On the first day of sales, everyone got up in the early hours of the morning. In addition to selling at the service center, the logistics office also agreed to sell buns under a canopy near the boiling water house. Brother Chic put a large stack of freshly out cage drawers on a borrowed tricycle, and prepared to go to the sales point of the boiling water house with Fan Pingping and two free strong laborers.
Lin Man saw the word "cleaning" on the butt of the tricycle, and on a whim, he shouted that he was going to set off, and asked Zhang Yan to find him a paint pen, and wrote a number "10" between "cleaning".
Everyone looked at the new "Porsche" and laughed in unison. The sale that morning seemed to have been a source of good luck as well.
Although only three flavors of steamed buns, large meat, tofu and green vegetables, and bagged soy milk wholesaled from outside, the sales situation was very good, and the entire stock was sold out in just one hour.
Lin Man knew that it was not because their buns tasted too good, but that the buns in the canteen were too bad and often cold. There are no heroes at the time, but they make the shaft famous.
In addition, there are beauties such as Zhang Yan, Li Xiuli, and Fan Pingping, and the sales speed has been amplified.
Everyone has a bottom in their hearts, and they can let it go.
Lin Man suggested that the production of steamed buns should be expanded, and wontons, dumplings, and noodles should be produced at the same time, which can be used for breakfast or supper. Individual positions need to recruit permanent personnel, such as employees who steam steamed buns in the early hours of the morning every day, and they can't always be steamed in the early hours of the morning every day. Xiao Diangui took the initiative to undertake this task. The cooks who were recruited in the early stage can start working.
In terms of publicity, it is necessary to claim that it is a work-study base and maximize its influence. Through the radio station, several interview scripts were broadcast to publicize the major initiatives of the "Food Culture Service Company" in the field of work-study. The classmates brought by Xiao Diangui are all poor students, which is a real achievement. The Youth League Committee, and even the Security Department, praised this.
Zhang Yan solved it in the student union. On the radio station, Lin Man solved. Lin Man promised to help the Blues record the show last time, and now he must fulfill it.
In terms of specific production and operation, Lin Man thinks that he has the lowest ability, and Fan Must, Chic, Zhang Yan, and Li Xiuli all show strong control ability. Especially Li Xiuli, who has a clear eye for doing these things, is not afraid of hardships, and is worthy of being a working person, and she is still studying finance on her own. Zhang Yan still has the student union to do. Therefore, the final execution fell on Fan Xian, Chic and Li Xiuli. Fan must be in charge, Chic is in charge of the front field, and Li Xiuli is responsible for the entry and exit of goods and finance. Others also take on specific tasks, and they are paid according to the hours and amount of work they work. Fan Pingping did not undertake important tasks, this is Lin Man's attempt to avoid the "power" of these two people from being too big and causing unnecessary contradictions. Lao Wufang Zhiyong knew that he couldn't help much, so he took the initiative to help in the back kitchen, doing all the dirty work, and he was better than a real one.
Lin Man is still the shopkeeper, and he is only responsible for making ideas. He and Zhang Yan both have student clubs, and everyone understands. They used their power for personal gain, and their help to the company's business was irreplaceable.
Lin Man also suggested that Lao Liuwu Sheng try to make sauerkraut fish, if the taste is popular, it will be the main dish for the public in the future. Lin Man has seen a lot of sauerkraut fish restaurants with a booming business.
The Youth League Committee is very satisfied with the work-study base created by the service center in such a short period of time. As for profits, they weren't expected to hand over profits at all.
After two days of trial operation, Li Xiuli, who was in charge of finance, told Lin Man that after calculation, the hotel was not profitable.
