Chapter 115: Tricksters

PS: Today's first chapter, there are still at noon and in the evening. Please continue to support!! Let's make the subscription more aggressive.

Generally speaking, the owner of a small restaurant can also be a chef, and medium and large restaurants must hire a full-time chef. The chef is an important part of the restaurant, and the game between the owner and the chef can be seen in most restaurants. When the business of the restaurant is good, the owner will replace the current chef in order to win over the chef, either raise the salary, or divide the shares, and find a better chef. In order to ask for more money or fight for reasonable rights, chefs often threaten the boss by changing jobs, and the consequence of changing jobs is that the quality of the dishes decreases, or the signature dishes are lost.

When Wang Qiao was in Guangnan, he used to mingle with several Shannan chefs, and he often saw chefs change jobs, so he knew a little about the mystery, and said: "You and Lao Duan once worked in the same kitchen, how is he a person?" ”

Ai Min said: "When I was with Lao Duan, I was a small role to play and could only fry some home-cooked food. At that time, I felt that Lao Duan was very upright and took care of everyone. At this time and then, he still takes care of a few chefs, but it gives me a completely different feeling. If they are given more money, the other piers and the white case chef will have to be added, and the cost will increase by a large amount. ”

Wang Qiao said: "If you don't add it, what will be the result?" ”

Emin said: "It is possible that at the busiest time, the chef pretends to be weird, or even changes jobs en masse, leaving a mess. ”

Wang Qiao said: "You can let Lao Duan mention a number first, if it is reasonable, you can increase the money appropriately, and everyone will have the energy to do it." If it doesn't make sense, we're ready to look for new chefs. ”

Ai Min said angrily: "When I invited Lao Duan to come, I considered that his craftsmanship was good and his salary was good. So far, he's paid more than the two of us. It's really greedy, not enough, snakes swallow elephants. Will we work for him, or will he work for us? I can't figure it out now. ”

Wang Qiao said: "Everyone is out to make money, not a moral model, just get by." ”

After venting for a while, Emin's mood was a little smoother.

In order to invite Huang Yonggui to eat black fish, Wang Qiao went downstairs and rode a motorcycle to the largest aquatic wholesale market in Shannan.

Shannan's largest aquatic products wholesale market and agricultural products wholesale market are located next to each other, and it is about a 10-minute drive from Shannan University. When you come to the entrance of the wholesale fish market, you can smell the strong smell of fish, and the ground is wet and full of water stains. Wang Qiao walked around the entire aquatic product wholesale market and found no trace of black fish.

Walking into the agricultural products wholesale market next door, Wang Qiao took out a small notebook that recorded the prices of major vegetables such as potatoes, ginger, green onions, and garlic. Checking them one by one, he found that the prices in the books were generally higher than the wholesale prices.

Leaving the wholesale agricultural market, Wang Qiao ran all over the farmers' markets in the eastern and western urban areas, and was also looking for black fish when recording vegetable prices. In the corner of the remote Taiping Farmers' Market in Xicheng District, he unintentionally found two black fish, the black fish were yellowish in color, and their quality was far inferior to the black fish in the dark river of Yangbeitong.

"Where the fish are, look at the color of the fish, the river water is general." Wang Qiao squatted down. Grab a black fish and look at it, then throw it back into the basin.

The black, thin and fishy old farmer painted the expression of Jiang Taigong, and said: "I see that you are a person who understands fish, and Ming people don't say dark words." Blackfish are only wild, and my two are netted by Wangjiahe, thirty yuan a catty. ”

Wang Qiao said disdainfully: "The smell of black fish is strong. The Shannan people can't get it right, or they will sell it in the morning. You tell me a real price. I'm going to have both. ”

The old farmer said: "My black fish has never been unsold, and I have people who know the goods to buy it." See your sincerity. Twenty-five dollars a pound. ”

After some bargaining, the black fish was sold for twenty-two yuan, and Wang Qiao said: "I will often ask for black fish in the future, do you have a phone, I can contact you." ”

The old farmer left the landline phone of a dry goods store next to Wang Qiao, and said, "Look at you young man is upright, when you want a black fish, you call in advance, and I will keep it for you." ”

The two black fish cost eighty-four yuan, which made Wang Qiao's heart drip blood. In order to fulfill the promise of inviting Huang Yonggui to eat black fish, eighty-four yuan is worth it.

After visiting the farmers' markets in Dongcheng and Xicheng districts, Wang Qiao concluded: "In order to save costs, the old taste restaurant arranges special people to buy vegetables at the wholesale market every day, but the purchase price is the same as the retail price of the farmers' market, which means that the old taste buyers buy vegetables at the wholesale price and use the retail price when reporting the bill." ”

Before the opening of the old taste restaurant, Wang Qiao made it clear that he would not participate in the specific operation of the restaurant, so he did not check it knowing that the procurement process was important. Each variety is only a few dimes or a few cents more, which does not seem excessive, but the long stream of water is a soft knife to cut the meat, which is a large amount of income when calculated. Essentially, it's a direct deduction from the profits.

How to solve the procurement problem is more nerve-wracking: the advantage, unless Emin and himself procure, there is no way to eliminate this behavior of the procurement staff, the difference is only in the cleverness and clumsiness.

Riding back to the old taste restaurant, a Chang'an car was parked in front of the door, and the car was printed with the four big words of health and epidemic prevention. In the lobby, Ai Min was talking to a handsome middle-aged guy with a gloomy face, and when she saw Wang Qiao enter the room, she shook her head slightly.

Wang Qiao sat quietly in the hall, listening to the health and epidemic prevention staff talking to Ai Min.

The middle-aged handsome guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes said amiably: "The most important thing in a catering enterprise is hygiene, there are fourteen cooks and service staff in your store, and only five health certificates have been issued, which is not right." ”

Emin explained: "We are a newly opened store, there is a lot of turnover of people, and those who do not have a license are all service personnel, and we are in the process of reapplying. ”

"Then make up for it as soon as possible." The middle-aged handsome guy said: "Where do you buy your edible oil, rice, and meat, we have to check the invoice." ”

Ai Min hurriedly went to the office to take out the relevant invoices and put them on the table for the staff of the epidemic prevention station to check. The middle-aged senior brother stood aside with a smile, and a young woman checked the invoices one by one.

Wang Qiao watched coldly, thinking about various possibilities and corresponding countermeasures.

More than half an hour later, after the inspection of several parties was summarized, the smile on the middle-aged man's face disappeared cleanly, and he said solemnly: "After our on-site inspection, we found that there are three problems in the old taste restaurant, one is the lack of nine health certificates, and you have been open for a while. It is long overdue to come here to get a health certificate; second, the purchase invoice is incomplete; The third is that the kitchen is dirty and there are many flies. According to the provisions of the "Shannan Provincial Health and Epidemic Prevention Management Regulations". The old taste restaurant must immediately close down for rectification and be fined another 3,000 yuan. ”

Emin has worked in different kitchens. Inspections by the health and epidemic prevention departments are commonplace, and she has never encountered such a severe punishment, so she was stunned. She originally wanted to stuff a few packs of cigarettes or send a red envelope to the leader of the team alone, but when she heard the result, she knew that the matter could not be easily solved, so she could only accept the penalty notice indifferently.

After a burst of light smoke, the Chang'an car left the old smell in the roar, and the four big words of health and epidemic prevention became more and more blurred. Emin rolled down with tears in her eyes, choked up and unable to speak.

Chef Lao Duan looked at the penalty notice. There was a burst of scolding. After scolding happily, he said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "Boss Du, didn't you open a restaurant and didn't collude with the epidemic prevention station?" It's your fault if you don't blend, it's a flashlight in the toilet - looking for death. ”

Emin was so confused that she didn't respond to Lao Duan.

Wang Qiao walked to the table, handed a tissue to Emin, and said to the onlookers and staff, "What should everyone do, don't gather around here." ”

Lao Duan's fat apprentice said: "It's closed for rectification, what else can we do." Go back to sleep. ”

Wang Qiao glared at the fat apprentice, came to the counter with the penalty notice, and dialed the phone number of the eldest sister Wang Xiao.

Lao Duan and his two apprentices thought that Emin was a woman's family, and Wang Qiao was a student. Neither of the two owners is an authentic restaurant owner, so they are a little looked down upon, and they have different intentions when they look down on them. Lao Duan wants to contract a food group. After several attempts to do nothing, he and his apprentices began to make small movements. Something came out, and Emin was cornered. Naturally, they will agree to contract the kitchen.

The fat apprentice called the district epidemic prevention station to report the old taste restaurant, and this matter was unaware, and Ai Min and Wang Qiao would never know. But after he was glared at by Wang Qiao, he felt weak for no reason, turned around and walked back to the kitchen, and cheered himself up: "Wang Qiao is a student, I'm afraid of him." ”

Wang Qiao has no social relationship of his own in Shannan, and he has to go through the eldest sister for something, which makes him feel that he has no face because of his strong self-esteem, but after all, face is empty, and the current predicament must be solved immediately. After talking about what happened on the phone, he concluded: "Sister, today's epidemic prevention station came suddenly, and it is very targeted, I estimate that there are two possibilities, one is that the competitor is bad, and the other is that the insider is making trouble, and now I haven't fully judged it." ”

"It's not a big deal, and it can be solved by asking someone to find a relationship. You and Emin need to be careful in the future and don't leave anything behind. You have to welcome the epidemic prevention station to check, and from another point of view, they will help you improve the management level. ”

"The old taste has just opened, and there are a lot of problems in management, and I will slowly get it in the future, but the restaurant can't be closed, and it won't be popular after it closes."

"You wait in front of the phone, I'll call you when I have news."

Wang Qiao sat at the bar and smoked slowly, waiting for the eldest sister to call.

Lao Duan was sitting in the kitchen and smoking, he knew Emin's details and was sure that he would eventually achieve his goal. People are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can he not be stabbed, besides, he just wants to make more money, and he doesn't think about killing Emin. If he were to do the kitchen and procurement, Emin would be able to make money without much effort, although it would be better to earn less than to lose.

When Wang Qiao smoked his second cigarette, the phone rang.

"Li Cheng greeted the head of the district epidemic prevention station and agreed that it could be opened, and the fine was waived, but the health certificate had to be reissued." Wang Xiao repeatedly advised: "Even if this matter is over, Erwa, you must be careful in the catering industry, the policies stipulated by the state can help you strengthen management, understand this, it is not easy for others to grasp your handle." ”

Solving the urgent matter in front of him, Wang Qiao relaxed and said, "Sister, you are getting more and more instigated, and when you reach your mother's age, you will really become an instigating old woman." ”

"In the past, he just let go of Yinxiang, and he went farther and farther." Wang Xiao sighed heavily and said, "I will often instigate you, who calls you my younger brother." ”

"Li Cheng has helped a lot, when will he be invited to have a meal."

"It's a small thing for him, you don't care, I'll arrange it."

Putting down the phone, Wang Qiao came to Ai Min's side and said, "The matter is settled, the epidemic prevention station agrees that we will continue to operate, and the fine will be waived, and you can quickly get the health certificates of several people." Before the Spring Festival, you have to find a way to go to the epidemic prevention department, and you must have the necessary blending, so as not to find trouble in the future. ”

Emin is hardworking and down-to-earth, from the pier to the cook, she can do dirty work and difficult work. What is lacking is social communication, and it is a big problem for her to go to the district epidemic prevention station to get in touch.

"Okay, I'll go. There is a first time in everything, so I wiped this face off and went to meet these officials. ”

"Don't be afraid, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, once you are born and twice cooked." Wang Qiao thought about the situation in the farmers' market and the performance of Lao Duan and others, and advised: "We have to beware of insiders, and the management must keep up." ”

Emin, who runs a small restaurant in Jingzhou, is a small restaurant with a small business and relies on diligence, but now manages a medium-sized restaurant with more than 30 tables on two floors, but she feels that the pressure has increased dramatically, and her mood has never been relaxed. She watched Wang Qiao walk out of the store, gritted her teeth and thought: "No matter how hard and tired you are, it is a hundred times better than when you were just laid off." "Every time I recall that one foot has stepped into the ranks of ** women, I am always frightened and terrified.
