"By the way, when do you plan to give the 20,000 yuan to the eldest brother?" Halfway through the bed, Tian Jing thought of this very important question, "My dad said that he had already helped us get the money together, and asked me when I wanted it?" ”

The look on An Pusheng's face suddenly became solemn after hearing Tian Jing's words.

"I think we should figure out how to make this money ourselves. Your father saved up all his life to support the elderly, but when he came, he let us all take it away, what is this called? An Pusheng hesitated and then said, "We usually don't have much time to take care of his old man, and as a child, he is already very unfilial, so I can't ask for this money." ”

"Don't want the money? Is there still a way for you to raise money? Tian Jing said dissatisfiedly, "It's the same as asking others to borrow, you should ask my dad to borrow it, and then pay him back when we have saved enough." ”

After listening to his wife's words, Yasushi fell silent again.

"To put it mildly, this is thanks to my sister-in-law's serious illness three years ago. If she hadn't been sick, her eldest brother would have left three years ago. At that time, it was really more difficult for us to come out with 20,000 yuan immediately than to ascend to the sky. Tian Jing ignored her husband's silence and complained to herself, "The three years of my sister-in-law's illness have given us room for buffer, so that my father can help us make up the money." But then again, your big brother is really good enough to do it. He wanted to raise funds, and he actually took his own people. Even if it's a brother's account, there is no such algorithm! ”

"Alright, don't say it." An Pusheng said angrily, "This is what the eldest brother deserves." He has suffered a lot for the business of the small restaurant over the years. finally made some money, and Dad hurriedly expanded the store, and in the end he barely made any savings, so it can be said that he worked for the family for ten years in vain. ”

Seeing that Tian Jing was still unconvinced, An Pusheng continued: "Now I spent 20,000 yuan to buy the future management rights of this small restaurant, do you know what this means?" From now on, this small restaurant will belong to us. I think my dad means that he won't be satisfied with the current scale of business. This small restaurant will expand in the future, and it will only become more and more valuable and profitable. We may have a hard time now, but we will have a good time in the future. It's worth the 20,000 yuan. ”

These words completely convinced Tian Jing. She nodded slightly, and said, "It's just that the current days are a little harder." You also know what kind of industrial transformation the government is doing now, and cotton mills like our unit will be shut down. As early as the end of this year, or as late as the beginning of next year, I will become a laid-off worker. At my age, I'm afraid it's hard to find a job, how can this family be maintained by your income alone? Now, the eldest brother has left An Ran to us, and he has one more mouth to eat, and I am afraid that this life will be even more stretched. ”

"Don't worry about this, Dad said, he will bear the living expenses of An Ran, and he will subsidize part of the family for us every month." Yasushi explained, "And I've thought about it, since you've been laid off, don't go out to look for a job, the restaurant is short of manpower, you might as well just go to the restaurant to help." This can also save a worker's money and reduce the daily expenses of the small restaurant. ”

"What can I do when I go? Running or washing dishes? You don't have to let me take a kitchen knife into the kitchen, do you? Tian Jing teased, "I've always wanted to hold a paintbrush instead of a kitchen knife." ”

"It's all about dedicating themselves to art, so why bother if you have a kitchen knife or a paintbrush in your hand?" Yasupusheng teased.

"When did stir-frying become an art? You're even comparing this to painting. Tian Jing retorted angrily.

"One is the visual arts, the other is the taste arts; One satisfies the spiritual enjoyment of human beings, and the other satisfies the appetite of human beings. How come the two can't be compared? ”

Tian Jing knew that An Pusheng was deliberately messing around there in order to help him relieve his emotions, so he ignored him anymore.

An Pusheng then said, "Actually, there are still a lot of jobs you can do in the store. For example, sitting at the cash register, managing purchases, and managing workers can be. In the past three years, haven't you been helping your sister-in-law take care of the accounts of the small restaurant? You should be familiar with the operation of small restaurants, and I believe you will be able to get started soon. ”

Without waiting for Tian Jing's reaction, An Pusheng continued: "Do you remember my little hair, Xu Youren?" ”

"Is it Xu Youren, who works as an accountant in the Seventh Cotton Spinning Factory?" Tian Jing said.

"Yes, that's him." An Pusheng affirmed, "Their seventh factory, like your fifth factory, will be shut down soon." I'm going to ask him to come to the restaurant to help with the bookkeeping. I thought that if this small restaurant wants to expand in the future, it must have a professional accountant, and it will end up being a confused account like we are doing now, which is not conducive to the business of the small restaurant. ”

"He used to be an accountant in a large factory with thousands of people, and in the future, he will be wronged in a small restaurant, isn't this overkill? Will he be willing? Tian Jing said suspiciously.

"That's what I thought about too, so I talked to him the other day." An Pusheng patiently explained, "He has no other way out at present, rather than sitting at home and waiting for death, this can be regarded as an income." You know, his lover is not in good health and can't do heavy work, and he has a son who is in elementary school, and the family's income depends on him alone, and his burden is not lighter than ours......"

"So, he agreed?" Tian Jing didn't wait for her husband to finish chattering, so she couldn't wait to ask.

"It's still under consideration for the time being."

"That's fine, it's better to leave the accounts to someone who knows the bottom than to invite a stranger from outside, we can be more or less at ease." Tian Jing echoed.

"I've been wondering what's going to happen to this little restaurant these days?" After pondering for a moment, Yasushi said, "If we want to grow our business, we have to expand the size of the small restaurant, and then we need a bigger venue." However, it is difficult to find such a shop, the city center is expensive, the area with a good location is small, and the market with a large area is not good, so it cannot attract business; Second, the larger the shop, the higher the rent, and the more workers are used, so the cost of operation will rise with the tide......"

"This is the law, and if you want to make your business bigger, you will inevitably encounter such problems." This time, Tian Jing said in a disapproving tone.

"So I'm wondering if there's a compromise? It can not only maintain a small shop, but also expand the business. ”

"How can there be such a thing as the best of both worlds?" Tian Jing sneered, "Daydream! ”

Yasushi smiled and said mysteriously, "Have you noticed that there are many foreign fast food restaurants on the road now?" Seeing Tian Jing's inexplicable face, he continued, "KFC, McDonald's, do you know? ”

"Ah......" Tian Jing suddenly seemed to understand what An Pusheng was going to say.

"We can also learn from this business model and rent a small store elsewhere and open a branch. In this way, not only can the cost be controlled, but also the restaurant can be opened to the outside area and expand its popularity. As long as there is a branch in each district, there are more than a dozen shops in pieces, isn't this bigger than a big restaurant? ”

"If you really have you, you can think of it." Her husband's words made Tian Jing excited all of a sudden. It was as if she had a picture of the future in her mind.

"However, there is a key technical issue." After the excitement, Tian Jing calmed down and carefully thought about the feasibility of An Pusheng's plan. This thought really made her think of a problem.

"You say."

"How do we control the quality of the dishes so that the dishes made in all the branches are the same as the main store?"

"I also thought about this question." Yasushi frowned and said, "This may require some training of the chefs in each branch beforehand. However, we can take our time and try opening a branch first. When this shop is mature and the chef is out of the school, I will open other branches. When the time comes, the branches and head offices will open training courses together to get twice the result with half the effort. In the end, An Pusheng smiled, "At present, this is all a matter of nonsense in my mind, and it depends on what the old man means." Take one step at a time, and plan slowly! ”

"You are so concerned about this small restaurant, and the plans in a few decades have been made, I think you will simply stop working at this waterworks, and you can help your father run this small restaurant with all your heart." Tian Jing quipped.

An Pusheng was slightly shocked when he heard this, and after pondering for a long time, he didn't answer, and in the end he just smiled freely.
