Chapter 44: Everything is ready
Zhen Cheng and the four of them returned to the restaurant, had a simple meal, and then got busy together. Wu Xin helped Zhen Cheng write a notice for recruiting dishwashers and pasted it on the wall of the store, with red paper and black paper, beautiful handwriting, and Zhen Cheng praised it again and again.
Guo Shaoyang and Shen Fangfang left a complete set of information, and Zhang Jiayan was mainly responsible for the familiarization of these materials. And Cao Chuqing should be familiar with the various specialties in the restaurant as soon as possible, not only to be familiar with the price, but also to be able to briefly introduce the characteristics of the dishes. Because in the future, the ordering work at the front desk will be taken care of by her cheerful personality. In addition, Cao Chuqing should also familiarize himself with the supply prices and contact information of various material suppliers left by Shen Fangfang as soon as possible.
Zhen Cheng's work is relatively easy, mainly to check and familiarize himself with the environment of the store, the normal operation of the equipment, and simply do some private rooms and kitchen hygiene.
Both boxes are very large, and the hygiene inside is also clean. But the store didn't open for three days, and there was still a musty smell in the room. Zhen Cheng went out and bought two boxes of aromatics and put them inside to freshen the air, because these few nights, the two girls were going to rest here temporarily.
Wu Xin had nothing to do, and he couldn't interfere with many things, and seeing that Zhen Cheng was very busy, he stayed for a while, and then said hello to a few people and left early. Zhen Cheng wanted to send her, but Wu Xin didn't agree, so he called a taxi and went home.
Things in the hotel seem simple, but really familiar and hands-on, there are a lot of trivial things to do. The three of them were busy all afternoon before they basically knew the bottom of their hearts. Fortunately, Shen Fangfang's details are clearly recorded, even the purchase price of vegetables and meat in October. Without these, the three young people really didn't know what they should prepare, and once the restaurant was up and running, the three of them would definitely be in a mess.
It wasn't until this moment that Zhen Cheng understood that Guo Shaoyang and Shen Fangfang not only left him a store, but even the basic operation mode and source of customers of the hotel had been left to him. If the chef does not change, it means that the source of customers will not change much because of the change of the host, in this way, Zhen Cheng is actually opening the door to make money, because the foundation of the operation of the hotel Guo Shen and the two have laid a solid foundation, this is the huge difference between exchanging hotels and opening their own restaurants!
If Guo Shen and the others are left with a mess, then Zhen Cheng's restaurant needs customers to slowly accept and recognize, in that case, Zhen Cheng may not be able to make money for a year, and now Zhen Cheng doesn't need to worry about it at all.
Before Zhen Cheng left in the evening, he contacted the chef and made an appointment to meet tomorrow morning to discuss the preparation of kitchen ingredients, and by the way, he told the chef that the No. 6 restaurant was officially open.
When Zhen Cheng returned to the bedroom at night, he felt tired. Zhen Cheng first went to Nangong Wan'er's bedroom to say hello, briefly inquired about her physical condition, and then briefly told her about the situation in his store, told her the phone number, and instructed Nangong Wan'er to call him if there was something. And Nangong Wan'er is like a good child, she listens to what Zhen Cheng says, and when she sees that Zhen Cheng is leaving, she blushes and gives Zhen Cheng a big red apple!
Nangong Wan'er has changed, from her mood to her way of doing things, although this is only effective for Zhen Cheng; But Zhen Cheng believes that a happy girl will appear by his side in the near future!
Zhen Cheng's feelings for Nangong Wan'er are very simple, that is, simple friendship and care, and he doesn't bother to think about the rest, he eats while walking with apples, and the fragrant and luscious apples make Zhen Cheng enjoy them very much.
The next morning, Zhen Cheng met with the chef in the store and introduced his two partners to him! The chef's name is Wei Laifu, in his 50s, not tall, but very fat and clean, and he worked as a head chef in a big restaurant in his early years. Now he and his wife live near Hanqian University of Technology, and a pair of children at home have already started a family, but Wei Laifu can't stay idle, so he found this job nearby.
When Guo Shaoyang didn't hire Wei Laifu, the business in the store was not very good, but since Wei Laifu came, the business in the store has been booming. Zhen Cheng and the other three young people all call him Uncle Wei directly, and the specific salary is the same as before, and at the end of each year, they will be given bonuses according to their profits.
Wei Laifu didn't particularly value the salary and welfare, but he was very satisfied with the enthusiasm and respect of the three young people in front of him, so he told the three young people about the precautions for opening a store, and wrote a list of things that need to be bought today and tomorrow morning. Several people had a meal together at noon, discussed the specific schedule of opening the store every day, and Wei Laifu left.
When Zhen Cheng sent Wei Laifu to the door, he happened to meet a woman in her 40s, carrying a big backpack and sweating on her face, and a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old standing at the door to read the recruitment notice. The woman is of medium stature, and because of the sweat, she looks a little dark. The little girl was very shy and hid behind her mother, and her little face was dirty.
"I heard you hire someone to wash the dishes in the store?" The middle-aged woman blushed and asked Zhen Cheng in a low voice.
"Mom, I won't let you do this kind of thing!" The girl next to her looked at Zhen Cheng with hostility and shouted angrily to her mother.
"Shut up! If you don't do this, what will you do when you go to school? The middle-aged woman turned her head and scolded loudly, completely devoid of the shyness she had just now.
"We're hiring dishwashers!" Zhen Cheng looked at the mother and daughter and replied with a smile.
"Our mother and wife are from out of town, and we can't find a job for a while, do you think I can do it?" The middle-aged woman was not as shy as she was just now, so she directly stated her purpose.
In Hanqian City in October, the temperature at noon was also frighteningly hot, Zhen Cheng saw someone applying, so he hurriedly let the two of them into the store to talk!
The woman dragged the child into the restaurant, Cao Chuqing and Zhang Jiayan were cleaning up the leftover food just now, and the girl couldn't help swallowing her saliva. Zhen Cheng saw it in his eyes, and estimated in his heart that the two of them hadn't eaten yet.
"Chu Qing, look at what else you can eat in the kitchen, bring some for your aunt and children!" For the embarrassed mother and daughter, Zhen Cheng thinks that it is better to let them eat enough, and whether they can be hired is another matter!
“haode!” Cao Chuqing also came up from the countryside, and he was more sympathetic to the mother and daughter in front of him, so he quickly ran to the kitchen.
Within ten minutes, Zhang Jiayan came out with food, a plate of braised fish that she had just eaten a few bites, and a plate of tomato scrambled eggs that Cao Chuqing had just made. The tangy aroma hit, and the mother and daughter were not polite, so they sat down and ate in a hurry. It can be seen that the two of them are very hungry, so much so that Cao Chuqing reminded them several times, worried that they would be pricked by fish bones!
After the mother and daughter finished eating, the middle-aged woman rushed to clean up the dishes and chopsticks and cleaned up the tabletop neatly. It can be seen that he is a person who often does housework!
"Auntie, you make a request, look at your actions just now, and you know that you can!" Zhen Cheng saw the performance of the middle-aged woman and asked cheerfully.
"I don't have any requirements, I can take care of food and housing, and I will give a little salary every month to cover the children's tuition and food money!" The middle-aged woman blushed, this requirement is a bit high!
As the provincial capital city, the rental price of a house in Hanqian City is nearly 2,000 yuan, and you have to take care of three meals for two people, and you also have to pay wages. These are converted into at least more than 3,000 a month! Zhen Cheng didn't feel anything, but Zhang Jiayan and Cao Chuqing stopped talking.
The salary of a dishwasher is generally about 2,000, although this middle-aged woman works hard, but the price has doubled.
"Auntie, do you think this is good? My two friends' houses haven't been rented yet, so I'll rent a bigger house for the four of you, don't you think? Zhen Cheng wanted to help the mother and son, so when he saw that Cao Chuqing and Zhang Jiayan didn't speak, he discussed and said.
"The two girls don't dislike it, our mother is fine!" The middle-aged woman breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhen Cheng agree, she had already met many bosses, and no one agreed to this request, and scolded her for being insane.
"It's okay, it's equivalent to renting an extra room, everyone can take care of it, and you can save rent, but I just don't know where to find a suitable house!" Cao Chuqing also hurriedly said.
"I've got it here!" The little girl saw that her brothers and sisters here were very haode, so she handed Zhen Cheng a list of rental suites. Then he hid behind his mother.
"You kid, why did you take off other people's lists!" The middle-aged woman reprimanded the child seriously.
Zhen Cheng took a look, it was posted today, it was a three-bedroom apartment, the rent required was 1800, which was reasonable, and the most satisfactory thing was that the house was two streets away from the store. Zhen Cheng contacted him, but he hadn't rented out yet, so Zhen Cheng made an appointment with the landlord to wait to see the house before deciding.
When Zhen Cheng called, Cao Chuqing basically understood the situation of the middle-aged woman. The two came from Shandong, and the husband turned out to be a contractor, but because the boss didn't pay him, he ran away from home and went to Z Province to chase the boss. The middle-aged woman's name is Wang Shuping, and the child is in the sixth grade this year, named Lu Xiaodan; Wang Shuping went to Province Z to find her husband, but she didn't even have a specific location, and the family's house was also sold to pay the wages of the villagers, and she had a little money in her hand, but when she came, she spent all her money on schooling for her children! Wang Shuping also has no education, can't find a job, and has no money, she was kicked out by the landlord yesterday, and she has only eaten a full meal until now.
I saw that Zhen Cheng's store was recruiting, so I came to try it, after all, the child wants to eat. Seeing that Zhen Cheng agreed to his conditions and actively contacted the place where he lived, Wang Shuping's eyes were full of tears, and she was very grateful to Zhen Cheng and the other three in her heart. The little girl also changed from the original hostility to gradually got acquainted with Cao Chuqing and Zhang Jiayan, and happily went to see the house with a few people!
"Brother Zhen Cheng, I won't be able to talk about the topic in the future, you help me talk about it, and I'll help you work in the store!" Xiao Dan said to Zhen Cheng with a smile.
"You little ghost, it's okay to talk about the topic, as long as you can get the first place in the class, but you don't need to work!" Zhen Cheng likes this little girl, well-behaved and sensible.
"Then let's pull the hook, you are not allowed to go back!" Lu Xiaodan stretched out his little hand and symbolically pulled Zhen Cheng!
"I'm sorry for the trouble for you, the dirty work in the store will be tiring in the future, and my aunt will take care of it!" Seeing Zhen Cheng's love for her daughter, Wang Shuping's nose was sour. It is said that young people are unkind now, but these three people are so enthusiastic and kind.
The house is on the 3rd floor of an old complex, with more than 120 square meters, simply renovated, but there are air conditioners in all three rooms inside the house. The kitchen and bathroom facilities are very complete.
Cao Chuqing and Zhang Jiayan were very satisfied, so Zhen Cheng paid a month's rent. Zhen Cheng didn't have much money on hand, so he could only pay for a month in advance. Lu Xiaodan and her mother were very tired, Cao Chuqing and Zhang Jiayan also had to go back to move their things, Zhen Cheng saw that he couldn't help, so he simply said a few words to the two, and then returned to the dormitory to rest alone.
After a few busy days, I finally got everything ready to open the store. Zhen Cheng knows that starting tomorrow, his day will be even busier.
