On May Day, Han Mingxiu's hotel finally started.

Some people may ask, why wait until May Day to start work, is it too late?

This is embarrassing to say.

The reason why it was delayed until this time was because Han Mingxiu had no money!

As mentioned earlier, she buys antiques or houses whenever she has money, and never keeps cash. Because she knows that the Chinese dollar will depreciate rapidly in the future, and saving money is far less cost-effective than keeping things.

Therefore, she always only has 20,000 or 30,000 yuan of liquidity by her side, and the rest of the income is all invested by her.

And her 20,000 or 30,000 yuan of working capital was all spent when she bought those three houses. This is not enough, if it weren't for the eldest aunt who took out 5,000 yuan to buy shares, it is estimated that she would have to go out and borrow money.

Anyway, I bought the house, but then the money to build a new building was gone.

Han Mingxiu plans to build a three-story building, and build a basement underneath, mainly for cold storage. Such a big project requires a lot of money, and she asked someone to roughly calculate it, about 80,000 yuan.

80,000 yuan, she really can't take it out now.

In fact, if she finds Uncle Gao or Uncle Zhou or Manager Cui or writes to Aunt Su, everyone can make up this money.

However, Han Mingxiu is reluctant to trouble others, especially about money, no matter how good a friend is, as long as there is a money exchange, the relationship will be more or less sour.

Therefore, she doesn't want to get involved in money with these people, and she just wants to make up the money through other channels.

There are still a lot of priceless good things in her space, and if she is willing to sell them, it will not be difficult to get the 80,000 yuan.

But the problem is that those good things are all hard to get by her, and there is a lot of room for appreciation in the future, so she is reluctant to sell them.

After thinking about it, there is only one way, and that is to go to the bank for a loan.

Over the years, Han Mingxiu has bought a lot of houses and courtyard houses one after another, these houses are all complete with house licenses and real estate certificates, if the procedures are not complete, no matter how cheap she will not buy.

She took these house photos and ran to the bank over and over again to handle the loan business.

You know how hard it is to deal with a bank.

In order to borrow the 80,000 yuan, Han Mingxiu ran for more than a month, his legs were thin, and he also said good things for a train, and finally spent 1,000 yuan in benefits, plus a gold necklace for others, before he borrowed the 80,000 yuan.

After the money came down, Han Mingxiu hurriedly entrusted Director Cui to help gather people and start work immediately.

Because of the money, the project is progressing smoothly, and the progress is very fast, and it has been completely completed in only one month, but it has not yet been renovated.

Generally, a new house has to be dried for a period of time before it can be renovated, otherwise the moisture in the walls of the new house will return and the decoration will be flowered.

During the period when the house was drying, Han Mingxiu was not idle, and she began to recruit troops to prepare for the opening of the seafood hotel.

She is going to hire eight waitresses, four chefs, four knife changers, noodle bags, two miscellaneous workers, a buyer and a lobby manager.

The basic requirement for recruiting these personnel is that these people must be of good character, down-to-earth and hardworking, and there can be stupid and stupid people among her employees, but there must be no such cheating and cheating people.

The standard for the more than a dozen waiters is to require them to be good-looking, thoughtful, polite and enthusiastic, and never be like the waiters in state-run hotels, throwing their faces at customers at every turn.

Chefs are more demanding, in addition to having superb cooking skills, they must also pay attention to hygiene, and they must have a medical examination report to prove that there are no infectious diseases before they can be hired.

The requirements for miscellaneous work are relatively low, as long as you are practical and willing to work, the purchaser does not need to be hired, and the uncle and aunt volunteered to undertake.

The hardest thing to find is the lobby manager.

Because Han Mingxiu didn't have time to stay here for a long time, the operation and development of the hotel depended on the lobby manager.

Therefore, this manager is the key to the profitability of the hotel, and it must be carefully chosen.

In fact, for the position of lobby manager, Han Mingxiu has a candidate in her heart, and that person is none other than her cousin-in-law Lin Hongzheng.

Lin Hongzheng is a smart person, not only can speak well, but also good at grasping the scale and proportion, and is also very good at seizing the opportunity, plus he has been working in the government agency, and he is also very good at dealing with people and things.

It's just that it seems unlikely that he wants him to come over and be the lobby manager, because Lin Hongzheng has a formal job in Nong'an, and people in this era have an obsession with formal work, thinking that if there is a formal job, they will have an iron rice bowl in this life, and they will never worry about eating or drinking.

Even if the iron rice bowl job earns less, it is still in a small place, but if everyone has to choose, ninety-nine out of a hundred people will choose to stay in a small place to guard his iron rice bowl, and will not choose to go to the capital to be the lobby manager of a hotel.

Although Han Mingxiu didn't hold out much hope, he still called Lin Hongzheng about his thoughts.

"Brother-in-law, I really can't do your job, but I have a job here, I don't know if you are happy to do it, if you are willing to do it, I will give you a basic salary of 100 yuan a month, except for bonuses......"

When Lin Hongzheng heard that he had a salary of 100 yuan a month, his spirit suddenly lifted.

"What work? Come and hear it! ”

Han Mingxiu told him that he wanted to hire him as the lobby manager, and told him that although this job was a lot of money, it was also hard, and the whole hotel had to worry about him. It can be said that if he becomes the lobby manager of this hotel, he will not be able to do anything else, and he must stay here from morning to night every day, and he will not relax for a moment.

Han Mingxiu also told Lin Hongzheng on the phone that although the job is hard, if the hotel's efficiency is good, she can give him a certain reward according to the hotel's turnover. Therefore, it is still very promising to come to the hotel to do it, just to see if he dares to give up his iron rice bowl and come to her for a while......

After listening to Han Mingxiu's words, Lin Hongzheng hesitated on the other end of the phone for a while, and then said that he wanted to think about it for a few days, and he would call her back after thinking about it.

In fact, Han Mingxiu was not surprised at all by Lin Hongzheng's reply. She didn't expect much from him before, and the reason why she called him was to reply to Lin Hongzheng's previous entrustment of her work, and after making this call, Lin Hongzheng should no longer fantasize about transferring his work to the capital......

The recruitment process for the hotel is going well.

Only one day after the advertisement was posted, many people came to apply, most of them were waiters and handymen.

This is also because there are too few jobs for everyone to earn a living in the current society, there are too many people who are unemployed at home, and it is not easy to make money, so as soon as there is a job, everyone flocks to it, all wanting to find a way out.

Han Mingxiu was not in a hurry to determine the candidates, she carefully received everyone who came to apply, and tested whether they were not suitable for working here through their language exchanges, behaviors, etc.

After a week of screening, she finally selected six qualified waiters, although there were still two short of what she expected, but, in line with the principle of preferring to lack rather than excess, she would rather lack a few people than find those who are unsatisfactory to stay in this obstacle.

As for the chef, in addition to the big mess of calculating one insider, Han Mingxiu found two more.

One of them is Chef Ma in the capital, who is good at Cantonese cuisine and is particularly famous in the capital, but he was dug up by Han Mingxiu at a high price. The other is Xiao Ding, a classmate of the mechanic who is in chaos, and he is also a good friend of Dachao, Han Mingxiu saw that this young man was very clever, and he had a big mess as a guarantor, so he hired him.

However, Han Mingxiu didn't plan to let Xiao Ding go to the kitchen to stir-fry and stew dishes for guests, after all, he was still a newcomer, and there was still a certain gap between his skills and those famous chefs, and she didn't want him to ruin the reputation of her restaurant.

Therefore, Han Mingxiu's job for Xiao Ding and Da Chao is to let them be responsible for making oysters.

There are many ways to eat oysters.

One of the most famous is to eat it raw, squeezing a few drops of lemonade on oysters and then eating them directly, it is so delicious that many people in later generations will like this bite.

However, many people in this era still can't accept this way of eating, so Han Mingxiu taught Da Chao and Xiao Ding several other ways to make oysters.

Among them, steamed oysters with garlic vermicelli are the most Chinese way to eat. There is also an oyster omelette, also called an oyster omelette, which is also delicious; There is also stir-fried oyster meat with green onion and ginger; Oyster and vegetable porridge......

And, of course, charcoal-grilled oysters. Han Mingxiu believes that this is the practice that is the most commonly eaten and the most delicious.

Charcoal-roasted oysters are the most indispensable delicacy in later generations, and it is said that for every 10,000 catties of oysters eaten by Chinese people, 8,000 catties are made into charcoal-roasted oysters.
