Originally, Li Siyu wanted to open a hot pot restaurant, but it was also a temporary idea.

During this time, she was very busy, and she may not be able to take care of the decoration, so she is very short of manpower.

Although the workers of the food factory are her subordinates, they are not employees of the hot pot restaurant, so they can only be hired separately.

So when Li Sinong put forward her request, Li Siyu immediately agreed.

"No problem, isn't it just the employment problem of the second brother-in-law? You asked him to come over and be the manager of the hot pot restaurant, so that the two of you can still take care of each other together. She said lightly.

In fact, after Li Sinong said it just now, she realized that the manager of the hot pot restaurant should be a gay man.

It's not that she questions Li Sinong's ability to do things, but that the hot pot restaurant will inevitably encounter those difficult people.

Facing a female steward will definitely suffer, so having a gay man will reduce a lot of trouble.

Li Sinong was relieved to see that she agreed, and at the same time, he was also very grateful to his little sister for her help.

"That's right." Li Siyu asked suspiciously: "Isn't the second brother-in-law an old employee, no matter how you lay off employees, you can't lay him off, right?" ”

Yang Jun is only in his forties, it stands to reason that it is impossible to choose him if he wants to be laid off, how can he still be unemployed?

Li Sinong sighed, "Alas... Don't mention it, your brother-in-law is indeed shrewd, but he can't make friends, don't mention it, let's not mention it, we will go over to your side in the next two days. ”

Obviously, she didn't want to talk about it.

Li Siyu didn't force it, it seems that he was careless in making friends.

The two of them talked for a while before hanging up the phone.

The two of them also needed a place to stay, so she found Li Chengcai over, asked him to clean up the house when he was idle, and told Li Sinong that the two of them were going to come over.

"Aren't our food factory workers almost full? What do they come to do? Li Chengcai asked suspiciously.

It's not that he doesn't want his second aunt to come, it's that he doesn't know what they do, it's just curiosity.

Li Siyu told him about wanting to open a hot pot restaurant, after all, this matter is not a secret.

"Open a store?" Li Chengcai said in surprise: "Can it work?" ”

Self-employed for so long, it is not uncommon to open a store, but few people can stick to it.

Especially for meals, except for state-run restaurants, which are still popular, there are basically few successful self-employed people.

Those who succeed are their own cooks, in addition to saving money to hire chefs, they are also powerful.

The rest of the people opened their stores without knowing anything, not to mention how miserable they were.

"Why can't your sister-in-law do it? Honestly, you can do whatever you want. She rolled her eyes, and dared to question!

Li Chengcai smiled and said yes, after all, my sister-in-law is indeed very powerful, she can do anything.

After sending this matter away, Li Siyu found someone to renovate the two houses next to each other, and then found a carpenter to set tables and chairs.

These things can't be done in a day or two, so she started researching things after explaining them.

The first is the pot.

Both mandarin duck pot and single pot are required, as well as the old-fashioned charcoal hot pot. After all, I don't know how to accept it here, so let's prepare first.

Charcoal hot pot is a type that is often seen, so I'm not afraid that someone won't be able to accept it.

She is looking for a master to make, although the price is a little expensive, but the materials are also good.

Looking at the strange pot shape, the master didn't ask much, there are a few mandarin duck pots, most of them are single pots and copper hot pots.

"You're going to open a store?" The master collected the deposit and asked.

The price of this pot is a lot of money no matter how cheap it is, and it looks like there is so much money in the pot, and I don't know how much it will cost to open a store.

Li Siyu smiled and nodded, there is no need to hide this matter, it is nothing to know.

The old master looked at the sky, "It's not easy to do business......"

He didn't persuade people not to do business, after all, he made money by building pots and pans. Convincing others not to do it is not about not allowing yourself to make money.

Li Siyu didn't speak, she took the bill and left, it would take more than ten days for things to be ready, and she had to prepare more things.

The work of the food factory is now on the right track, except for the New Year's holiday, which needs to be mass-produced, the rest of the time is reproduced by order.

Li Siyu is not in a hurry to release new products, these types are enough to last for half a year.

Launching two new products a year is enough, and no matter how many types other technicians have to be familiar with.

After the New Year, Li Sinong and his family came over, the hot pot restaurant was being renovated, and Yang Jun happened to be in charge of supervision.

Li Siyu gave the two of them the wind and dust, and let them act at will.

After Yang Jun found her, he was actually quite embarrassed, and he had to go to his sister-in-law at such an old age.

"If you let me do anything, I will definitely be able to reassure you." He has no other merits, but he is certainly serious about his work.

Li Siyu naturally reassured him, "Brother-in-law, you don't have to be restrained, it's all your own family's property, just help me check it." ”

She said this very seriously, after all, she is not here, there is no reassuring person, Yang Jun has worked for so many years, and naturally has his own set of communication.

"Don't worry, my brother-in-law hasn't learned anything else for so many years, and he still sees things quite steadily." He smiled in response.

Without the restraint of working for his sister-in-law, he relaxed.

I have to say that Li Siyu feels that his decision is still very good.

Yang Jun has been supervising the decoration of the house, and the materials are also very particular, if he thinks it is expensive, he will also ask Li Siyu's opinion.

Whether the materials are expensive or cheap, let her decide. Yang Jun is only responsible for the good decoration.

In fact, Li Siyu is afraid that the materials are cheap, after all, the decoration is a lot of money, if the decoration is not good, there is a problem, then there is no way to say in the future.

Yang Jun has no frugal mind. It's not that he doesn't want to save money for Li Siyu, but he also understands that saving money in business is not so economical.

At the end of February, Chengyu hot pot restaurant officially opened.

Leaflets are naturally to be distributed, after all, there are no advertisements now, and the publicity is not as great as in later generations.

"Can it really work?" Li Sinong looked at the huge restaurant uneasily, not only the decoration style is luxurious, but also the things inside are very expensive!

So much money is used for decoration, if you can't earn it back, how much will you lose?

Yang Jun changed into decent clothes at this time, and he also looked like a shopkeeper.

He smiled and patted his daughter-in-law on the shoulder, "Don't worry, haven't we tasted it before?" It's definitely going to catch fire. ”

To be honest, he doesn't have much bottom in his heart, but the money has been invested, and if he has time to be frightened here, it is better to cheer up and work hard.

However, his words somewhat comforted Li Sinong, at least he was not so nervous.

It was close to ten o'clock at noon, and people walked in from time to time outside.

Because there is no such big glass in the decoration now, the outer walls are made of checkered glass.

Even though it is simple, it allows people to see what is going on inside the house.

Today's glass is not very strong, and it is easy to break when it is made in large pieces, so it is safer to make small pieces of glass.

The outer perimeter wall was torn down to a metre high, and when the doors were closed at night, they were fenced with custom-made wooden planks.

The fence is only 50 centimeters away from the glass, so that it is not too far away for people on the street to see.

In order to build this two-story house, Li Siyu not only spent a lot of money, but also let Lin Cheng run a lot of errands.

He is not a professional in this area, so he uses favors.

Li Siyu walked down from the private room on the second floor, looking at the time was almost up.

But now there are two tables of guests dining.

"This tastes okay, it's just too spicy!" A lesbian drinks water spicy, but still holds chopsticks and puts them in the pot.

Seeing this situation, Li Siyu smiled with satisfaction. There are many recipes in the space, and there are also raw materials, so you can just cook the base by yourself.

Li Sinong saw her go downstairs, so he ran over and said, "Little sister, you see that there are guests." ”

Her expression was very excited, and her emotions were also a little excited.

The other three waitresses in the room were also quite happy, because the presence of guests proved that they could earn more wages.

In addition to the basic salary, Li Siyu also gave them a commission for drinks, as long as they ordered drinks and wine, they could withdraw a little money.

Although there are not many people at one time, but there are more people, so the money will naturally increase?

"Well, second sister. There will be more and more people in the future. She laughs.

That's right, since the first day of opening with only 10 tables of guests, more and more people are coming.

The hot pot here is also the first in Baicheng, and now that relatives come or invite guests to dinner, most people will choose here.

The money spent is the same as that of the next restaurant, but the taste is different, and there is a different experience.

And Li Siyu also prepared a lot of canned fruit in the store in order to attract more customers to come over for dinner, as long as the customers who order and consume, they can have a canned fruit.

This kind of thing has the most space in it, so it's no problem to consume it casually.

And this kind of gift of dishes has also made more people come to eat. Usually, it costs a few dollars to buy a can outside, but you can get one for a meal here.

The first floor of the hot pot restaurant is a lobby, and the second floor is full of private rooms, so people who talk about business are willing to come.

"How can this Chengyu hot pot restaurant have the same name as the Chengyu Food Factory?" A man in a suit and leather shoes suddenly asked.

Li Sinong, who was serving the food, was stunned for a moment, and then replied politely: "It's a family, it's all the same boss." ”

Politeness is the most important thing, and coming to eat is consumption, so be sure to treat it politely.

This is what Li Siyu explained, everyone acts according to this requirement, and others are more willing to come here and enjoy the service.

The man nodded knowingly, but he didn't stop there, and continued to ask, "Is this boss in the store now?" I want to meet. ”

Although Li Sinong didn't know what he wanted to do, he saw that this person was in a suit and leather shoes, and he spoke very politely, so he answered him.

"Our boss only comes in the morning, and after noon, she is in the food factory, and you can go to the food factory to find her if you have something."

After receiving the answer, the man did not ask again, but nodded to indicate that he understood.

Li Sinong put the dishes and went back, there are still many guests today, but she is a little distressed.

The older canned fruits have been given away, and they don't charge a penny, how much does it cost?

Yang Jun saw that she was absent-minded, and when he seized the opportunity, he pulled her, "What's wrong with you?" Are you tired? ”

This time is really tiring, and I don't blame him for asking a few more words, and the other three waiters are also too busy.

He was also thinking about whether to mention it to Li Siyu tomorrow and recruit two more waiters.

But two people have a lot of money in a month's salary, but they still have to be mentioned, and it is casual whether they are recruited or not.

Li Sinong shook his head and whispered in his ear: "It's too much of a loss to send canned food like this, right?" I saw that the more than 20 boxes of canned fruit in the storage room were gone. ”

That's what she's worried about, compared to being tired or not, how can there be no tiredness in making money?

Yang Jun didn't expect her to be absent-minded because of this, so he said: "Don't worry about this, now that there are so many guests, you can do a good job." ”

Although he cares a lot......

Li Sinong rolled her eyes, she really didn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt were expensive, this was her sister's shop, what should I do if I lose money!

No, she has to talk to Li Siyu about this, otherwise she won't feel at ease.

Early the next morning, after Li Siyu came over, he saw that the table in the house had not been cleaned up, and everyone was cleaning up the table.

"Why are you here early in the morning?" She was a little surprised and ate hot pot early in the morning......

It's unlikely, right? How can this be eaten.

Li Sinong saw her coming, and while cleaning up the table, he said: "The door closed at ten o'clock last night, and everyone was very tired, so they didn't clean up, so they discussed getting up early to clean up." ”

This can't be helped, usually it closes at nine o'clock, and there are so many guests yesterday that it can't be cleaned up at all.

I finally waited until there was no one, and everyone was too tired to walk, and I simply ate steamed buns last night, and I didn't cook at all.

"It's so hot, huh?" Li Siyu asked in surprise.

Yesterday she was busy until eight o'clock before going home, and she didn't make a detour to take a look. Yang Jun's management is very good these days, so except in the morning, he should be the shopkeeper at other times.

"Don't mention it, it closed at ten o'clock yesterday because there were no dishes, and I may have to prepare more today." Yang Jun sighed, and continued: "You can buy things again, but we are too few people to be busy." ”

He talked about wanting to hire two more waiters, and then wanted to see what Li Siyu thought.

If not, they will be tired at all, and they will not need to be divided among the drinks.

Hearing that the hot pot restaurant is so popular now, Li Siyu immediately said: "Let's directly recruit two male waiters, and the strength is fast." ”

She'd thought about this before, but boys rarely want to come out and pour tea and water, but if there is, it's okay.

Yang Jun heard that he was recruiting boys?

"Will this work?" He hesitated. After all, most of today's men have machismo, and it is impossible to come out to serve tea and pour water, which is insulting to male dignity.

This is also the conclusion he came from the standpoint of a gay man, and it is precisely because he can't accept serving the plate that he thinks like this, anyway, he feels a little bit uneasy.

Although Yang Jun is also helping out when he is busy now, he is the store manager, so he doesn't think it will be okay to do this.
