"What do you want me to eat? Is it right here? Liu Tao asked with a smile.

"Of course not." Li Xiuzhi shook her head and said, "I know a Chinese restaurant that cooks very authentic food, do you want to try it together?" ”

"What cuisine?" Liu Tao asked.

"Sichuan cuisine. If you don't like it, we can eat something else. Li Xiuzhi replied.

"I like Sichuan food very much. Sichuan cuisine is also the most famous of the eight major cuisines of our country. Liu Tao said.

"One of the characteristics of Sichuan cuisine is that it is spicy, and it has a fight with the kimchi of our stick country." Li Xiuzhi said.

Liu Tao didn't speak, just smiled slightly, and said in his heart, how can the kimchi of your stick country be compared with our Sichuan cuisine! It's not a grade at all!

"You wait for me here. I'm going to put on some makeup. Liu Tao stood up as he spoke.

Li Xiuzhi also knows that there are a lot of reporters outside now, and if she doesn't wear makeup, she will definitely be surrounded by these people, and I'm afraid it will be impossible to have a quiet meal at that time.

Soon, Liu Tao came to her after putting on makeup. At this moment, Liu Tao has become a middle-aged uncle.

"Where the hell did you get your makeup artist? The level is so high? If I had seen you on the street, I wouldn't have recognized you. Li Xiuzhi asked.

"Is it smart? I really don't think so. Another day, let you see the craftsmanship of our Huaxia makeup artists, and you will definitely be full of praise. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"Really? Then I'm really going to have to see it. Li Xiuzhi suddenly became interested.

"Aren't we going to eat? Lead the way. Liu Tao said.

"Yes." Li Xiuzhi nodded and left the hotel with Liu Tao.

Soon, they showed up at the door of a Sichuan restaurant.

There was a queue outside the door! From this point, it can also be seen that the business of the hotel is really very hot!

"Are we going to wait in line outside?" Liu Tao asked with a smile.

"No, I don't. I have already booked a seat. Li Xiuzhi shook her head and said.

"Looks like you're planning to invite me to dinner before you came to the hotel." Liu Tao said with a smile.

"yes. You have cured my father's illness, and I should treat you to a meal. Li Xiuzhi said.

The two walked into the hotel talking and laughing.

When the waiter of the hotel saw Li Xiuzhi coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, and then led them to the private room on the second floor.

"What do you want to eat? Whatever you want. Li Xiuzhi said.

"I want to eat peony fillet and boiled cabbage. As for the rest, you just look at the dots. Liu Tao said.

"Peony fillet? Boiled cabbage? Do you have these two dishes here? Li Xiuzhi asked at the waiter. She has come here to eat many times, but she didn't see these dishes on the menu.

"I don't know. I'll go to the back and ask the head chef. The waiter replied.

"Okay." Li Xiuzhi nodded.

Soon, the waiter came to the head chef.

"Chef Hu, a guest ordered two dishes that are not on the menu, I don't know if you will do it." The waiter said.

"What dish?" Chef Hu asked.

"Peony fillet and boiled cabbage." The waiter replied.

"It's not easy! I didn't expect any of our guests to know about these two dishes! You go and tell your guests that both dishes are more time-consuming to sit down and that they need to wait a little longer. Chef Hu said.

"Yes." The waiter leaves.

Then, the waiter came to the private room.

"Miss Li, the head chef said that you can cook both dishes, but it will take a little longer, I hope you can wait patiently." The waiter said.

"No problem. As long as the head chef can make it, it is also appropriate to wait a little longer. Liu Tao said.

Seeing that they had no opinion, the waiter stood aside and waited.

"Where did you eat these two dishes? Is it delicious? Li Xiuzhi asked with interest.

"I went to a Sichuan restaurant when I was in Binjiang, and the owner's craftsmanship was not to be said, and the cooking was quite authentic! He had both of these dishes on the menu he was offering at the time! I've eaten it twice and think it's pretty good! Boiled cabbage, in particular, has a very special taste. You'll find out when you taste it later. Liu Tao said.

"After all, Sichuan cuisine is still the cuisine of your Huaxia country, so it is also appropriate for the chefs to make it more delicious. When I have the chance, I will also go to Binjiang to taste the chef's craftsmanship. Li Xiuzhi said.

"No problem. This chef has been recruited by me to be in charge of the staff's staff meals, and I will take you directly to eat when the time comes. Liu Tao said.

"Did I hear me right? Such a chef, you let him cook the staff meal? Can he be willing? Li Xiuzhi was taken aback and asked.

"What's so unwilling. Besides, is it a shame to make staff meals? I don't think so. Liu Tao glanced at her and said.

"I'm not ashamed, I just think it's a bit overkill." Li Xiuzhi said.

"The staff meals of our employees are very rich, even if they are eaten in a restaurant, they may not be able to eat so richly. You'll understand when you go eat it another day. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"According to what you say, your company also spends a lot of money on moonlight catering every month! Can a company still make money with such a high welfare package? Li Xiuzhi was skeptical.

"For me, making money for the company doesn't come first. If you can provide employees with better benefits, it will be worth it even if you don't make money. After all, everyone works hard in the company to make their lives better. Of course, the company is definitely making money now. People's hearts are long, the company is good to employees, employees will naturally work harder, and the efficiency is much higher than that of employees in other companies. Don't take your employees for fools, or you'll end up sending the company to the grave. Liu Tao said meaningfully.

"I really didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding at such a young age. Your employees must really like a boss like you. Li Xiuzhi said.

"You have to be able to like me. Incompetent employees don't stay in the company for long. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"If you give employees such a high welfare package, you should have requirements for employees. But then again, no matter how good the benefits you offer, they can't compare to ours. Li Xiuzhi said.

"Why do you say that?" Liu Tao asked with a smile.

"The reason is simple. The salary of your employees is three or four thousand yuan a month, and the minimum salary of our employees here is 8,000 yuan, and the slightly better employees need to be tens of thousands of yuan. Even if your benefits are a little better, they still can't compare with our salary level here. Of course, this is only compared to us, and if it is compared with country M, it is even lower. Li Xiuzhi said.

"Who sued you, our employees only pay three or four thousand yuan a month?" Liu Tao asked with a smile.

"Isn't it? I remember that the general salary in Huaxia is around three or four thousand yuan, unless it is a place like the capital, the salary may reach six or seven thousand or even tens of thousands. Isn't your company based in Binjiang City? If I'm not mistaken, Binjiang is only a third-tier city, and workers are generally paid between two and three thousand. Li Xiuzhi said with some puzzlement.

"You're right. However, the salary of my company's employees is not two or three thousand, but tens of thousands. That's more than your salary here. What's more, your consumption level here is so high, if you really count it, my company employees make more money. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"If you pay such a high salary to your employees, the company bosses around you must be angry. I don't know if the excellent employees of their company have been poached by your company. Li Xiuzhi said.

"Competition is always there. It is also desirable for a good company to have more and better talents. Liu Tao said.

"Yes. You're right! Li Xiuzhi nodded and said.

At this time, the dishes they ordered were served one after another. While eating, the two waited patiently for the peony fish fillet and boiled cabbage.

After a while, the peony fillet was served.

"Is this made from fish fillets? It's amazing! Li Xiuzhi couldn't help but exclaim when she saw the peony in front of her.

"Yes." Liu Tao nodded and said, "Come, how about a taste?" ”

Li Xiuzhi took a slice and threw it in her mouth, and immediately felt extremely crispy.

"Delicious! It's so delicious! I didn't expect the chef here to have such skills! It's amazing! Li Xiuzhi exclaimed.

Liu Tao picked up a slice and chewed it twice in his mouth, and said: "The heat of the fish fillet is a little bigger, if you can master the heat again, this peony fish fillet will really become." ”

"Are you still not satisfied with this? You're too picky, isn't it? Li Xiuzhi complained.

"Only the peony is true to the country, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom. There is no such thing as the best, only better. No wonder the business of this restaurant can be so good, the chef's skills are still very good, and I am indeed a little picky. After all, there are some ingredients that are not available in the country of sticks. Liu Tao smiled slightly and said.

"That's it! If you don't want to eat it, I'll eat it all by myself. Li Xiuzhi said as she took another slice and threw it into her mouth.

"Eat. If it's not enough, you can ask for another one. Liu Tao said with a smile.

After a while, the boiled cabbage was also delivered.

Li Xiuzhi hurriedly scooped a bowl of soup.

When she took a sip, her brow furrowed.

"What? Isn't it delicious? Liu Tao saw her expression and asked with a smile.

"I can't tell what it tastes like." Li Xiuzhi replied.

Liu Tao scooped a spoonful into his mouth with a spoon, and then tasted it slowly.

"Sure enough, there's a magical smell in it. This is a soup made in the ancient way, which is very beneficial to your body, drink more. Liu Tao said.

"Do you really want to drink more?" Li Xiuzhi asked a little reluctantly.

"Of course. It's a waste of such a good thing if you don't drink it. Besides, it's not easy for the head chef to make this dish, so you can't just throw it away, right? Liu Tao nodded and said very seriously.

"I'll just drink it." Li Xiuzhi said.

It took three hours for two people to eat the meal.

After eating, Li Xiuzhi signed the bill and settled the bill.

"Waiter, could you please ask the head chef to come over? I want to meet him. Liu Tao said.

The waiter nodded and went to ask the head chef to come over.

"What are you looking for a chef to do? You can't be digging into the wall, right? Li Xiuzhi asked.

"It's not." Liu Tao shook his head and said, "I just want to do business." ”

"Doing business? Do you want to open a restaurant with him? Li Xiuzhi asked.

"Do you think that Sichuan restaurants are the same as Western restaurants, and if you want to open a chain, you can open a chain? Sichuan restaurants rely on the skills of chefs. Every chef's skills are different, and so are the dishes made by each chef. I went to the head chef to provide him with better ingredients. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"I see! Looks like I misunderstood you. Li Xiuzhi said with some embarrassment.

"You're the daughter of an entrepreneur, and that's right." Liu Tao glanced at her and said.

At this time, the head chef walked in from outside.

"Who's looking for me?" The head chef asked.

"It's me." Liu Tao smiled at him and said, "My surname is Liu." ”

"I wonder what you're looking for me?" The head chef then asked.

"I just tasted the peony fish fillet and boiled cabbage you made, and the level is still very high. However, some of the materials do not seem to be very authentic. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"This is the country of sticks, and if you want to purchase authentic raw materials, you can only go to Beichuan Province. If you buy it from Baekcheon Province, the cost will be at least doubled. For customers, such an expensive dish is not accepted. The head chef replied.

"What's the point of doubling it? Are you the owner of this hotel? Liu Tao asked.

"It's not." The head chef shook his head.

"So, you're just working here?" Liu Tao then asked.

"Yes." The head chef nodded.

"What is your salary in a month? If I were willing to hire you for twice the salary, would you be willing? Liu Tao asked.

"Didn't you just say you wouldn't dig corners?" Before the head chef could speak, Li Xiuzhi asked quietly next to him.

"I just thought he was the owner of the hotel, so he didn't dig into the corner. Since he's not, I'm going to dig it. Liu Tao responded.

"You, you." Li Xiuzhi gave him a blank look.

"Don't know where your hotel is? If it's still in Mingchuan City, I'd like to. The head chef replied.

"It's definitely in Mingchuan City. But I haven't figured out where the hotel will be located yet. Do you have anything good to build yì without?" Liu Tao asked with a smile.

"Me? I'm a chef, not a boss, so what can I do? The head chef was stunned for a moment and said.

"If you are confident in your cooking skills, I can invite you to be my partner. I'm sure you'd like to have a restaurant of your own, too. Liu Tao said with a smile.

"Partner? What is a partnership law? The head chef was immediately interested.

"You contribute the technology, I contribute the money, and we will open a restaurant together. As for the shares, you have 30 percent, and I have 70 percent. At the end of the year, dividends will be distributed according to profits. Liu Tao said. (To be continued.) )
