Chapter 20: Business is booming
The three rules, like invisible shackles restraining everyone's behavior, were specially tailored by Zhang Tianming. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info especially for those who were free and casual in the past, is simply the mantra given to Tang Seng by Guanyin Bodhisattva in "Journey to the West".
First, it is forbidden to play with mobile phones during work; second, it is forbidden to leave the post without authorization due diligence; and thirdly, it is strictly forbidden to 'smuggle' items in the back kitchen.
If a company does not have clear rules and regulations, there is no strong basis to apply, and over time, employees will become scattered, and gradually become lazy and do what they want.
The so-called "no rules, no circle" is said to be this truth, from small families to large countries.
Kill a hundred and make an example, and directly expel Huang Dawei's previous four followers, in view of the lazy and lazy people, Zhang Tianming did not show the slightest mercy.
As the saying goes, "a rat poop spoils a pot of porridge", Zhang Tianming naturally knows how powerful it is, and he must be severely punished.
The next day, when the sky was bright, Zhang Tianming walked out of the luxurious suite after washing, went straight to the back kitchen, and entered his own head chef's office.
Sitting on the soft leather chair, Zhang Tianming took out a stack of thick work reports from the folder and carefully flipped through them, including cost accounting, business quota, personnel transfers, etc., which are all records of the daily operation of the kitchen, which is a technology that every kitchen manager must be familiar with.
"Alas, my biggest problem at the moment is that I don't have my own core members, and I don't know if Xue Cheng is willing to come. Zhang Tianming sighed helplessly. I called Xue Cheng yesterday, but he hasn't received a reply yet, and he is a little disappointed. After all, the central kitchen is incomparable to the branch in terms of salary and technology.
Two hours later, Zhang Tianming, who was carefully browsing the work report, felt drowsy, and it was a very boring and boring thing to face these monotonous data, but he still patiently read it carefully.
"Nine sisters, nine sisters, lovely sister ......"
Suddenly, the phone rang, Zhang Tianming took out an antique mobile phone from his coat pocket, looked at the caller ID on the screen, and said excitedly: "Xue Cheng! What, you have arrived." Okay! I'll be right out ......."
While talking, he got up and ran out of the back kitchen quickly, and when Zhang Tianming came to the door of the hotel to greet him, four familiar figures appeared in his sight, and suddenly his eyes were full of surprise and excitement.
"Hello little master!"
"Hello masters!"
Walking closer, greeting each other, Zhang Tianming led the way and led everyone into the catering department of Longxin Hotel.
Cooking in person, in the luxurious private room, Zhang Tianming warmly entertained Xue Cheng and three acquaintances, namely Ji Youming, the cold dish master, Huo Yuan, the cooking chef, and Zhu Jun, the steaming chef.
Working together in the central kitchen, although they don't get along for much time, Zhang Tianming still trusts the masters.
"It's a great honor to meet some of the top chefs, and I'm going to double your salary with a pledge of character. In the future, as long as there is a bite to eat in Tianming, I will definitely not treat everyone badly. Master Huo, Master Ji, Master Zhu, for a better tomorrow, let's all toast together!"
"Little master, what you said is out of sight. As long as you say a word, if you want us to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, we are also duty-bound. Huo Yuan, the cooking master, raised his wine glass and got up and said.
"That's it, that's it, what Master Huo means is what we mean. Then, Ji Youming, the cold dish master, and Zhu Jun, the steaming vegetable master, got up one after another, and the three of them raised their wine glasses in return.
Looking at the incomparably sincere attitude of the three of them, Zhang Tianming smiled and saw that he had hit the nail on the head in what he said, and immediately got up and took the wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your great help! Every word everyone said today, Tianming will remember it in the bottom of his heart, and he will never dare to forget it." ”
"Come on, come on, do it!" Seeing this, Xue Cheng on the side was embarrassed to sit any longer, got up and raised his wine glass in response.
Enough is the case, after three rounds of wine and five flavors, Zhang Tianming did not deliberately persuade him to drink, so as not to delay the business. After having enough wine and food, he led everyone straight to the kitchen to install important positions and assign work.
After that, everything was arranged and ready, and with the addition of these backbones, the current team of chefs at Longxin Hotel is top-notch. Zhang Tianming has always firmly believed that the bleak business status quo is coming to an end, and the future business boom is just around the corner, which is within reach.
Xue Cheng is just an ordinary chef, but Zhang Tianming arranged a most promising position for him, serving as the production director for the third-in-command of the kitchen.
"Little master!"
Sitting across the chair from the head chef's office, Xue Cheng was overjoyed in his heart and said happily: "Thanks to the little young master who was able to promote me and give me this opportunity, I will definitely work hard in the future!"
"Xue Cheng, don't care about these things between you and me, just call my name like before. ”
"But ......"
Seeing that Xue Cheng was a little restrained, Zhang Tianming deliberately pretended to be extremely displeased, and said solemnly: "Xue Cheng, are we still brothers?"
Due to the departure of Nalan Yanrong before, Zhang Tianming's mood was extremely low in those days, and he stayed in the room all day long. Coupled with the drastic change in his identity, Xue Cheng deliberately avoided it, and the two of them were a little estranged.
"Of course, we are brothers!"
After a while, Xue Cheng nodded vigorously, his eyes looked at Zhang Tianming's gaze for a long time, and his face was full of sincerity.
"Xue Cheng, thank you so much this time! ”
"Tianming! It's not all my credit, it's just because Ji Tianyou's way of dealing with people is too domineering, and a few of us can't get used to it!"
Diligently, after a week......
"Everyone, go and see, the boss is boiling soup again!" said a twelve- or thirteen-year-old apprentice, running around the kitchen, muttering incessantly.
Hearing the shouts, all the idle kitchen staff hurriedly walked towards the side boiler, and after a while, everyone rushed to stand by and watch carefully.
I saw that Zhang Tianming stared at the large soup bucket more than one meter deep, waited for the water to boil, and as always, put in the tender tofu, sweet and sour tomatoes, and fresh cabbage one by one at different times. In the process of boiling, Zhang Tianming's powerful eyesight can clearly see that the tomatoes are melting, the tofu is shrinking, and the cabbage is decomposing.
Zhang Tianming concentrates on himself, concentrates on controlling the heat, devotes himself to the process of boiling the soup, and observes the subtle changes in the soup barrel from time to time.
"Om Ma Na Mi Mi Ngai"
At this moment, Zhang Tianming's eyes only had the shadow of the ingredients, as if everything around him had disappeared, an inexplicable voice sounded in his head, and he couldn't help but silently recite a series of obscure words in his heart.
Gradually, red gravy, white pulp, and green leaf juice seep out from the inside of the ingredients, and several natural elements flow into the water and merge with each other.
Half an hour, when the soup is cooked, there is a faint golden light, but it is difficult for ordinary people to find it. The transparent clear water soup becomes thickened and becomes a perfect barrel of golden soup, exuding a rich aroma that is refreshing to smell.
When Tang Cheng was completed, everyone left one after another, and each returned to his post with doubts. This is the eighth time they have seen it, and they remember the whole operation process thoroughly, and they didn't find anything unusual, and they couldn't see through the mystery at all.
However, it has become an indisputable fact that the soup boiled by Zhang Tianming has the miraculous effect of beauty and beauty, which is better than cosmetics.
"Sous chef, I've heard some people say that you used to be the boss's master?" said the elementary school apprentice curiously.
"You little rabbit, don't shout around, how can I be the chef's master. The head chef is a hard-working and self-motivated person, and I only took care of him a little in the past. Looking back on the past, everything seems to have happened yesterday, and the 40-year-old master Zhang Huaping was difficult to calm down, and said: "Don't learn to be lazy at a young age, hurry up and do things." ”
"Where do I have?!" the elementary school apprentice muttered.
Leaning over and touching the little nephew's head, looking up at Zhang Tianming's departing back, the old master Zhang Huaping was quite pleased, and sighed: "Shibei should be impressed in three days! This sentence really makes sense, I didn't expect that he has such a unique skill now, and the speed of growth is amazing!"
Now, the dining hall of Longxin Hotel is overcrowded, with a constant stream of guests coming in and out, and waiters busy, which can be described as a booming business.
Outside, in the backyard of the Longxin Hotel, the spacious open-air parking lot was already full, and a Bentley drove past in the direction of the underground garage.
When they arrived at the underground parking lot, Wang Hong and Li Tianshan quietly appeared in the dining hall by elevator, and the two of them came to an empty table at random and sat down, and began to order food as ordinary people.
Because Wang Hong has always kept a low profile, he is not allowed to publish pictures of a series of media reports about himself such as newspapers and magazines in the outside world, and they are only text explanations, so there are very few people who really know his appearance.
"Master, the little master is really powerful, he can make such a performance in a short period of time!"
"Well, that's good!" Seeing is believing, looking at the guests who came and went around him, and the waiters who were busy frequently turning over the table, Wang Hong, who didn't believe it, nodded in agreement.
At the beginning of the results, Wang Hong's heart was comforted, and he had some expectations for Zhang Tianming's performance. Maybe when he sees his grandson again, he will already be a successful person in his own right.
Wang Hong, who was smiling, picked up the recipe on the table, opened it and flipped through it, and when he accidentally saw the price of 98 yuan for clear soup noodles, he wondered: "Is it a mistake?"
"Master, what's the matter?" Seeing Wang Hong's frowns, Li Tianshan looked sideways at the recipe he was holding, and found that the price of the noodles was wrong, and said, "I must have accidentally written out a decimal point." ”
However, when Li Tianshan thought that this was just a mistake, Wang Hong continued to browse the soup menu at the end of the page, and found a beauty soup with a price of 188 yuan. Looking at the ingredients marked under the picture: tomatoes, tofu, and cabbage, his face became ugly in an instant, and he said angrily: "A bowl of noodles ninety-eight, sky-high price of noodle soup, isn't this a deliberate deception and intention to rip off customers?
"Waiter!"
"Sir, is there anything I need to serve you?"
"Call your lobby manager Li Xiuna, and say that I, Li Tianshan, are looking for her, hurry up!"
"Okay, please wait! I'll let you know. ”
The most important thing in doing business is integrity, and the brand value of a company is immeasurable.
"Waiter!"
"Sir, is there anything I need to serve you?"
"Your clear soup noodles are really amazing, after eating it for a week, I feel full of strength, and at night my wife no longer says that I am incompetent, which is even more useful than Chinese medicine. A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes said.
"Hee-hee!"
The young woman sitting next to the middle-aged man pouted and smiled.
"Clear soup noodles, do you have any more, bring me one!"
"Yes. However, the New Year's Day event has ended, and some new dishes that were free before are now back on sale at normal prices, so let's take a look at the prices first!"
Taking the recipe handed over by the waiter, the middle-aged man glanced at the price of clear soup noodles and said, "The price of clear soup noodles has increased nearly five times compared to other places, but I don't think it's expensive at all, it's worth it!"
"Husband, haven't you ordered my beauty soup yet?" said the young woman coquettishly.
"I'm sorry, wife, I almost forgot about myself when I patronized it. Another beauty soup, as well as plum cabbage button pork, cold salad three shreds, braised beef brisket ......"
"Would you like to see the price first?"
"No need, I believe in the skills of your chefs here, the dishes are so delicious!"
"Okay, please wait!"
The behavior of this couple made the two people who were angry hear and see, and at this moment, witnessing what happened around them, suddenly the old face turned red and looked a little embarrassed, it seemed that they might have misunderstood.
"Master, wait for me, you go slow and be careful not to fall!"
In order to avoid the next embarrassing thing to happen, Wang Hong first got up and walked out of the dining hall silently, and Li Tianshan followed closely behind him and entered the underground garage together.
"Master, you don't eat, don't you go to see the little master?"
"Let him exercise again!
In this way, the two of them came and went quietly gently, as if they had never appeared, leaving no trace.
In the evening, the night is bright, and the ancient capital of Yanjing City is brightly lit and full of flowers.
In the center of the city, in the dance hall of the OK100 nightclub, Zhang Tianming, Xue Cheng, Ji Youming, Huo Yuan, Zhu Jun, Zhao Dakui and others, raised their wine glasses with their left hand and hugged the beauty with their right hand, sang songs and drank together, and everyone had a lot of fun.
"There is wine today, drunk today, and tomorrow is sad. Zhao Dakui held a wine glass in his hand, kissed the beauty beside him, and sang with a microphone, shouting: "Little master, give it, you can sing a song too!"
"Sing a song, sing a song, sing a song!"
Seeing Zhang Tianming sitting alone in the corner, looking a little depressed, everyone coaxed and urged.
"Okay!"
This kind of drunken place, Zhang Tianming was reluctant to come at first, but Xue Cheng insisted on persuading him, in order not to lose everyone's face, Zhang Tianming took the wireless microphone in Zhao Dakui's hand, let go of his voice to vent, and sang:
At that time, I was miserable, looking at the moon with the north wind, I remember how sour those people said, and I couldn't wipe off the embarrassment when I walked through the streets and alleys
............
I am very ordinary, and I am very simple, but I am very brave in my bones! I still have tears and do not need to be comforted by others, and I have a chance to win and must have love
............
A song "Me in My Bones" was sung one by one, and immediately tears flashed in the corners of Zhang Tianming's eyes, he gently wiped the tears on his face with his hands, picked up a bottle of beer and drank it all.
"Little master, what a lot of wine!" Zhao Dakui shouted with a look at the DJ beauty not far away.
The DJ beauty knew what she meant, came down from the bartender with two glasses of red wine in her hand, walked to Zhang Tianming and handed him a glass, and flattered: "Little master, there is such a large amount at a young age, I admire the little woman, and I specially toast you with a glass and hope to appreciate it!"
"Happy!" Seeing Zhang Tianming take the wine glass and drink it all, the DJ beauty hooked his arm and pulled him to sit on the sofa and drink happily.
For a long time, Zhang Tianming has experienced countless ups and downs, endured too many hardships, and his heart is lonely and helpless, and there is an indescribable sadness.
Vent!
Tonight, he's going to vent hard!
"Come on, little master,!!......"
After drinking dozens of glasses in a row, Zhang Tianming suddenly felt dizzy and fell asleep, and then the DJ beauty pulled him out of the dance hall, and was picked up by two big men outside the gate of the nightclub, dragged into the van and drove away quickly.
Late at night, everyone left the scene one after another, Xue Cheng didn't find Zhang Tianming's figure, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Zhao, where is Tianming going?"
"You don't have to worry, I guess he's on the loose with the girl now, let's go!"
Although he was faintly worried, Xue Cheng did not delve into it, so he could only ignore his conscience and silently accompany everyone to leave.
