"A huge loss?" After listening to Yu Li's words, Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "What do I have to lose?" ”

Yu Li hurriedly said: "Oh, Zhiqiang, you think, Lou Xiao'e is so rich, and she gave birth to a son to Silly Zhu, after she comes back this time, if she wants to get back together with Silly Zhu, and Silly Zhu really chose Lou Xiao'e, what will be the result?"

It must be Lou Xiao'e who paid out of her own pocket to open a restaurant for Silly Zhu and let Silly Zhu be his own boss.

At that time, will Silly Zhu continue to work in your restaurant? Absolutely not! ”

"Yes, absolutely not!" Yan Jiecheng, who was eating melon seeds, nodded and said.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "If Uncle Silly really doesn't plan to do it with me, then don't do it, I just have to change the chef, and my restaurant is not the only one chef." ”

Yu Li hurriedly said to Cao Zhiqiang: "Zhiqiang, it's not right for you to think so.

Yes, your restaurant is so big, there is no shortage of stupid pillars, and he can't keep any of them busy.

But the problem is that the other chefs in your restaurant are all apprentices taught by stupid pillars.

So, if Silly Zhu leaves and takes all his apprentices away, it will be a big deal.

By that time, all the chefs in your restaurant will be gone, so how can the restaurant still be opened! ”

As soon as he heard this, Cao Zhiqiang didn't say anything, and Cao Jiajia, who had been an observer next to him, suddenly frowned and said, "Yes, that's right!" ”

Speaking of this, Cao Jiajia frowned and looked at Cao Zhiqiang: "Zhiqiang, I haven't thought about it before, but now after Aunt Yu said this, it's really like this." ”

"Not really!" Yu Li nodded hurriedly.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Li said to Cao Jiajia: "Jiajia, Zhiqiang is usually busy with nobles and doesn't care about your restaurant, but you stay in the restaurant every day, you should know that the most important thing in this restaurant is the chef, especially the old chef."

If the chef leaves suddenly, even if you hire a new chef, the dish will not taste right.

When the old guests came to taste it, they felt that the taste was wrong, and they must have turned around and left, and by the way, they also talked about the gossip of your restaurant.

After going back and forth like this, how else is the business doing? ”

"Makes sense." Cao Jiajia nodded with a serious face, "It seems that the matter between Uncle Silly and Aunt Lou is indeed related to our family's business." Zhiqiang, you have to take care of this matter, you can't go over so casually. ”

Cao Zhiqiang took a sip of tea gently, and after putting down the teacup, he looked at Cao Jiajia calmly: "Sister, what do you want?" ”

"Me?" Cao Jiajia was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "What's the matter, I have to go and talk to Uncle Silly first, right?" ”

"How? What to talk about? Cao Zhiqiang continued to ask, "If people don't leave, you don't have to worry about it at all, if people really want to leave, can you still stop it?" ”

Cao Jiajia frowned and thought for a while: "Then, at least you have to tell the stupid uncle, he can leave, but those apprentices can't take it away." ”

After a short pause, Cao Jiajia thought for a while and continued: "Wait, I remember that those apprentices who learned the craft from the stupid pillar in the food for the sky, except for a very few people who were brought by the stupid uncle, most of the other people were all young people in your machinery factory at the beginning, and you especially recommended them to learn the craft from the stupid pillar."

Then, these people learn the craft in our restaurant, no matter whether the dishes they cook can be officially served in our restaurant, but no matter what, one counts as one, all of them are paid by us, not for free.

Therefore, this is different from the traditional master with apprentices, strictly speaking, it should be the same as night school technical school, they are here to spend money to learn the craft, and the stupid uncle is at best the teacher we paid for.

Therefore, if the stupid uncle wants to leave, it's no problem, but he can't take the batch of apprentices in our hotel with him, this is different, and he can't do this! ”

"And what are you worried about?" Cao Zhiqiang smiled.

"Sister, you also said that most of the people who learned the craft from Uncle Silly were employees of our Hongguang Machinery Factory.

Although they are learning their skills to be cooks in Shiweitian, and they are also working and getting wages in our Shiweitian, their relationship is still in Hongguang Machinery Factory.

In other words, these people are still workers in the machinery factory, but they don't have to live in the factory, and they don't need to be paid by the machinery factory, but we pay them for food, which is a bit like taking a leave of absence from work.

So, even if the stupid uncle leaves, he can only take away the two apprentices he brought from the canteen of the rolling mill, and none of the others can take away.

Why, because it's better to cook raw than cooked, go to a newly opened restaurant, who knows what the future holds.

Second, their relationship is still in the Hongguang Machinery Factory, and my energy in the Hongguang Machinery Factory is not big, at least it is not comparable to them.

So they knew very well that if they messed around behind my back, I would definitely be able to find a way to open up their connections in the factory and become unemployed again, at most self-employed.

Third, I let them go to the world to learn and work at the same time, and forcibly gave them wages that far exceeded those of ordinary workers, and even gave them better prospects, so from a certain point of view, my kindness is far higher than that of Uncle Silly's mentorship and apprenticeship.

Therefore, the group of chef apprentices of Shi Weitian, I said that the wave of people who were transferred from the machinery factory, but anyone who has a little brain, will not follow the stupid uncle, and even if there are those who go, they will be very few at most, and it will not affect Shi Weitian's business. ”

"Not necessarily." Yu Li said suddenly, "Zhiqiang, what you said is right, but don't forget, Silly Zhu is a chef, and only he can make some big and hard dishes, and his apprentices may not be able to make them, or they will taste different."

Therefore, if the stupid pillar leaves suddenly, and deliberately does not teach the whole craft, then those apprentice chefs in your restaurant are not skilled and the cooking tastes wrong, then the guests will still be dissatisfied?

Once the customer is not satisfied, the reputation will be gone, if the reputation is gone, then what will be done in the future. ”

"Makes sense!" Cao Jiajia nodded, "Zhiqiang, we can't take this matter lightly, we have to pay attention to it." ”

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head with a smile, picked up the teacup and drank the tea slowly, but did not follow and speak.

He understood Cao Jiajia's worries, after all, what Yu Li said, normally speaking, did have some truth.

For an ordinary restaurant, the chef is indeed very important, after all, the chef cooks with different tastes, and many people often go for the chef's skills.

But that is for ordinary restaurants, it is not the same as Cao Zhiqiang's food.

There are many reasons why, but the main one is that the source of the menu is different.

The kitchen is different from the general kitchen, the area is very large, and there are a lot of equipment, among which there are many more unusual things, such as balances, measuring cups and other things that can only be found in chemical laboratories.

The reason for these things is very simple, that is, the recipes of food for the sky, eighty percent of which were personally formulated by Cao Zhiqiang, and the recipes he personally drew up were all selected by him from "Chinese Cuisine: Three Thousand Hungry for You".

The biggest feature of starving your 3,000 is precision.

To put it simply, the production method of this recipe pays attention to detail and precision, and there are relatively strict requirements and regulations for the use of dishes and ingredients.

In other words, it is possible to achieve standardization and factory production in terms of production, and as long as you master all the steps and specifications, you can manufacture in large quantities.

This is especially true for many stews and steamed dishes.

There are only a few stir-fried dishes, which are not easy to handle.

In particular, many of the recipes formulated by Cao Zhiqiang at the beginning need to make secret sauces, seasonings and marinades in advance, as long as these are done well in advance, when really cooking, often only need to pour the secret ingredients at the end, and you can directly get out of the pot, not only the speed is fast, but the quality control can also be roughly guaranteed.

Among them, one of the most popular dishes sold by food is actually Malatang, and the most important thing about Malatang is the soup.

The secret recipe of the spicy soup in the sky is currently only mastered by Cao Zhiqiang, Cao Jiajia and He Yuzhu, even if He Yuzhu quits and changes to a chef, as long as the secret recipe is not a big problem, the taste of the dishes is still no big problem.

Only some special dishes in the private room, especially some precious ingredients such as abalone and cucumber wings, need He Yuzhu to make his own dishes according to the characteristics of the ingredients and the requirements of diners, which is indeed something that ordinary people can't learn immediately.

But in general, most of the popular recipes in Shiwei Tianzhong have basically achieved precision, as long as the secret recipe and operation steps are not a big problem, just change to a new chef, and the taste is very different.

He Yuzhu's role is mainly to teach those apprentices the basic skills of cooking, and then some high-end ingredients, which need him to be in charge personally.

However, in fact, most of the time, He Yuzhu doesn't need to be in charge of the cook, he just needs to be like a teacher, watching the group of chef apprentices in the kitchen, how to do the basic skills well, how to do the dishes according to the rules formulated by He Yuzhu, and that's it.

It is precisely because of this that He Yuzhu is so leisurely, because most of them do not need him to cook himself.

Therefore, even if He Yuzhu leaves Shiweitian, it will not have much impact on Shiweitian, and in terms of high-end ingredients, it is a big deal to invite two more chefs.

There are many famous chefs in the capital, and He Yuzhu is not the only one, as long as the price is high, there are no good chefs.

In fact, Cao Zhiqiang's treatment of He Yuzhu has far exceeded that of ordinary celebrity chefs.

You must know that He Yuzhu not only has an actual salary of 2,005 per month, but he also has cadre shares, which can be distributed every year, but he didn't say it to the public.

This kind of treatment, the master of the state banquet can invite over, let alone He Yuzhu.

To put it bluntly, Cao Zhiqiang gave He Yuzhu such a high treatment, mainly to repay his kindness, and he didn't want to cross the river and tear down the bridge, which ruined his reputation in front of some people.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang can have today's status, although most of it depends on his own ability, but part of it depends on the big leader, that is, Uncle Xu.

And being able to get in touch with Uncle Xu is thanks to Silly Zhu's matchmaking.

If there is no matchmaking from Silly Zhu, it will not be easy for Cao Zhiqiang to climb to the level of leader like Uncle Xu by himself.

Don't underestimate this, in the capital, especially in this period, this kind of backstage is very important.

If there was no background of Uncle Xu, Director Li and Secretary Dong would not have paid so much attention to Cao Zhiqiang, let alone helped Cao Zhiqiang to be affiliated with a publishing house.

Without these, Cao Zhiqiang would not have been able to rise as quickly as a balloon later.

On the surface, it seems that Cao Zhiqiang is talented himself, but in fact, it is all because of a big backstage like Uncle Xu.

Without this big backstage, Cao Zhiqiang's other operations would not be handy, and even Yu Deshui would not be able to really help Cao Zhiqiang know so many leaders of the capital.

Don't forget to dig wells, although Cao Zhiqiang's identity and status are different now, and his vision is different, he has not forgotten the kindness of the stupid pillar.

Even if he thinks that the stupid pillar is quite stupid, it doesn't mean that he will also fall into the well.

Because of this, Cao Zhiqiang opened a food for the sky, let Silly Zhu be a chef, gave him such a high salary, and gave him dry shares.

The reason for doing this was that at the beginning, I really wanted to tie up the stupid pillar, and then use this to have a good relationship with Lou Xiao'e, so that it would be convenient for me to enter Xiangjiang in the future.

But later, after the things given by the system became more and more powerful, and Cao Zhiqiang became acquainted with the Uncle Lin who specialized in secret work, all this actually didn't matter.

In other words, even if there is no Lou Xiao'e now, just with Uncle Lin, he can go to Japan if he wants to go to Japan, and go to Xiangjiang if he wants to go to Xiangjiang, and the help he gets is definitely not comparable to Lou Xiao'e.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang at this time does not attach so much importance to food as the sky.

Even more precisely, the restaurant of Food for Heaven is his property for Silly Zhu and his own sister, and he has no intention of making a lot of money from here at all.

In fact, from Cao Zhiqiang's point of view, if he really wants to open a restaurant, he will not open a high-end restaurant that needs a high-end chef.

With Cao Zhiqiang's current skills, if he really wants to open a restaurant to make money, the best way is to open a low-level and middle-class restaurant with a certain guarantee of quality control, similar to McDonald's's kind of Chinese fast food restaurant, or to be precise, a Chinese Malatang chain.

Malatang chain, only need the secret Malatang soup, and then prepare a variety of vegetables and meat, and shabu-shabu is no different, but it is faster and cheaper than shabu-shabu, which is naturally suitable for the people of this period, more down-to-earth.

And the hotel thing, a down-to-earth chain store, can become bigger and stronger, and can really make a lot of money, especially in this era.

After all, in the early 80s, most of them really didn't have money, and you spent the same price to open three Malatang restaurants at this time, which was more profitable than opening a high-end restaurant.

At the beginning, Cao Zhiqiang found a group of young interns from Hongguang Machinery Factory and sent them to be chefs to learn from He Yuzhu, and he never thought that they would really learn He Yuzhu's real kung fu in a short period of time.

As long as those chef apprentices have basic cooking skills, they can be released to open a Malatang chain store.

Under the special circumstances of this era, there is no need for those apprentice chefs to pay their own money to join, but to go to each branch in the form of branch dispatch to become cooks.

At that time, all the funds for the opening of the branch were paid by Cao Zhiqiang himself, and the chef was assigned to each branch as a cook, and the two modes of salary and bonus were implemented, the salary was the basic salary, but the bonus was linked to the turnover, the higher the turnover, the higher the bonus, so that their enthusiasm was absolutely fine.

This kind of Malatang chain store with little difference in quality is what Cao Zhiqiang really wants to do.

It's just that Cao Zhiqiang can't easily talk about these things, only he knows what's going on.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang has never worried about whether He Yuzhu will go or not, anyway, it will not hurt him if he doesn't leave.

The worst result is just to close the door for the day, but this is nothing to me now.

Even if Shi Weitian goes out of business and his sister has no livelihood, he is here, and some are ways to find a job for his own sister.

It's a big deal, just reopen a large Malatang restaurant, let my sister continue to be the store manager, and continue to collect money and settle accounts.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Cao Jiajia is so anxious and worried now is that she still doesn't see the essence of some things.

She still hasn't figured it out, in fact, for her, the role of the stupid pillar is not so important, what really matters is him Cao Zhiqiang himself!
