rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 225 Branch opening

On October 10th, the first branch of Ideal Fried Chicken Restaurant grandly opened!

This opening was obviously much more lively than the last time.

The last opening was due to Chen Li's absence, so in the end it was Deng Weimin who took charge of the overall situation.

Because Chen Li is in charge this time, the opening is much grander than last time.

There are several flower baskets alone!

Some were given by Deng Weimin, and some were given by Deng Weimin in the form of snow beer from Xiao Zhang. There were also those given by Shennong Group, as well as those given by Su Mei and Zhou Xiaoli.

"Oh my God! Look~ I said we, 402, should order a flower basket or something. You see, the counselor gave them to us, but we didn't bring anything!"

Li Jun held a stack of flyers in his hand and looked at Chen Li at the door of the fried chicken shop with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"But pull it down! Do you think I don't want to give it away?"

"Brother Li usually takes good care of us. He brings us fried chicken every three days. He is always so kind to us. Of course it is appropriate to send a flower basket."

"But Brother Li won't let me~! What can I do?"

Luo Ming on the side was also a little helpless. This guy who almost had a conflict with Li Jun when he first reported it was now so close that he could almost wear a pair of pants with Li Jun.

Moreover, as a native of Yanjing, this guy actually smells like dirt when he speaks. This means that the Northeastern dialect is quite powerful!

"Hey~ Brother Li is such a nice person!"

"Okay, don't say anything anymore. Let's work harder and send out more leaflets."

"Auntie, let's take a look. Ideal Fried Chicken Restaurant has everything from fried chicken legs to hamburgers. It tastes the same as KFC McDonald's and the price is cheaper."

Li Jun, a Northeasterner, is quite outgoing, and he didn't feel shy at all when he started the leaflet.

Of course, some of the reasons for this are because he really wants to do something to help Chen Li.

The reason is very simple. As the monitor of German Class 1, the director of dormitory 402, and their intimate big brother, Chen Li usually takes good care of them.

I guess Chen Li is a generous person. He often carries fried chicken and fried chicken legs that are not sold out in the store to the dormitory.

Although it may seem like there are leftovers, absolutely no one cares about this.

Because this thing can be kept in the refrigerator until the next day and fried again, it actually doesn't mean it can't be sold.

But Chen Li always carried the leftover fried chicken to the dormitory. Sometimes when things were missing, he would even ask Huang Biao to get some more.

In addition, Chen Li often answers questions for other students in the dormitory, especially when it comes to relationships. Chen Li can be called an emotional master.

For example, this guy Luo Ming, under Chen Li's guidance, has now successfully hooked up with a female classmate in his class.

Others who want to fall in love have made their own progress under Chen Li's careful guidance.

Therefore, Chen Li's status in the hearts of the people in dormitory 402 is definitely a leverage one!

There was no way~ After all, it was a bit simple for Chen Li, a middle-aged man with a mental age of over forty, to win over these 18 or 19-year-old brats in 1998.

Not only Dormitory 402, but also the entire German Class 1 was managed obediently by Manager Chen.

After all, everyone has a herd mentality. If you win dormitory 402, you will basically win the male group.

And Chen Li relied on his mature and stable temperament to directly win over Yang Tao, the league secretary, which basically means he won over half of the girl group.

It can be said that except for a few very few thorns in the side, Chen Li can be said to be a man of his word in German Class 1.

At the current fried chicken restaurant, Chen Li was instructing Han Li, the manager of the first fried chicken branch, and Xie Xiaoling, the clerk.

"Don't panic~!"

"time is not up yet!"

“Remember to pay attention to the oil temperature!”

"Xiao Ling~ Don't be too hasty, the lettuce is about to fall out."

A new branch has just opened, so naturally there are many problems.

Especially the store manager Han Li, after all, she only received training in fried chicken for about ten days.

In fact, at the fried chicken restaurant in Weigong Village, Han Li could already make fried chicken and burgers independently.

But after arriving at the new store, the girl was still a little panicked, and even the chicken steak she just ordered was over-fried.

Chen Li had anticipated this problem a long time ago, so he took a day off today to help Han Li get familiar with her job.

In fact, Chen Li seldom spoke. He would only remind Han Li after she made a mistake, and his tone was gentle, trying to avoid making the other party nervous.

Everyone has a first time! At the moment, Han Li was just a little panicked. In fact, after she got used to it, it would become more normal.

"Click~Click!"

Beside Chen Li, stood two girls who had just come in to rest.

This is Xiao Min, the fourth child, and Li Xiaoying, the sixth child in Liu Qingqing's dormitory. They have been handing out flyers outside and now they come in to take a rest and have something to eat.

Chen Li felt something was wrong. He turned around and saw that Li Xiaoying was chewing on the piece of chicken steak that Han Li had overfried just now.

Because it is fried a bit old, the "squeaking" sound is louder when you bite it.

"This is over fried. If you want to eat it, let Han Li fry another one."

Li Xiaoying is the youngest, and she is also a bit cute, so she is very popular in the dormitory.

Even Chen Li, a non-staff member, sometimes subconsciously favors this girl.

Because this girl and Chen Li’s sister Chen Xue have a common hobby!

Eat~!

When Chen Xue eats, she has to choose between good and bad food, but this Li Xiaoying likes to eat everything.

According to Liu Qingqing, this girl can even make three bowls of Yanjing's specialty bean juice.

At first, Chen Li thought that Li Xiaoying's family was in a difficult situation, but it turned out that her family was doing well! She just liked to eat!

"Well, thank you, brother-in-law, but no need!"

"I think this is delicious! It tastes like crispy rice."

"Click~Click!"

Li Xiaoying took another bite, and Zhou Xiaomin next to her also moved her mouth towards her.

"Click~Click!"

"Hmm~ Apart from a slight mushy smell, it actually tastes pretty good."

Zhou Xiaomin also nodded, agreeing with Li Xiaoying's statement.

Chen Li expressed his frustration at this!

To be honest, at this time in 1998, not many people actually ate good food.

These days it's not like later when all kinds of food and meals are available everywhere.

Generally speaking, the biggest purpose of people eating these days is to fill their stomachs. Only a few people pursue the good or bad taste.

Just like Yanwai's canteen, do you think it's delicious? It's actually very average, especially compared to the canteen of the Polytechnic University next door, it's simply incomparable!

But there are still a large number of students from the University of Foreign Studies eating in the cafeteria every day. Why?

Cheap, affordable, convenient and filling!

As for the taste, why do you care so much when you’ve already eaten in the canteen?

The same principle applies to students at Yanda.

Compared with the cafeteria in Huaqing next door and restaurants off campus, the cafeteria in Yanda is somewhat less interesting.

Therefore, for students, food and clothing are food and clothing, and food is food. In fact, it is difficult for the two to be compatible with each other in this era.

As for the food at Ideal Fried Chicken Restaurant, it can be said that it is at the same level as snack food. Even the over-fried chicken steak is actually no worse than the food in the school cafeteria.

Moreover, fried chicken was still a high-end luxury food these days. Apart from Chen Li sending some to their dormitory from time to time, these girls themselves were not willing to spend money to go to KFC or McDonald's.

"Eat less~this thing is boring."

Seeing that Li Xiaoying was eating deliciously, Chen Li couldn't help but give a reminder.

"Hmm~! No way, brother-in-law! This kind of thing is beyond my reach!"

Li Xiaoying stuffed the piece of fried chicken steak into her stomach like a little squirrel, and finally patted her belly.

Chen Li looked at Li Xiaoying with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

In fact, not only was he suspicious, Liu Qingqing and several other classmates in her dormitory were also suspicious.

This Li Xiaoying eats much more at every meal than the others, but not only does this girl not gain weight, she also doesn’t grow taller!

He is less than 1.6 meters tall and weighs less than 90 kilograms, but he eats more than anyone else at every meal.

So everyone else was wondering, where did the food Li Xiaoying ate go?

Chen Li also has a bit of this kind of physique, but he is not only not easy to gain weight, he is still quite tall.

Today, Chen Li's height has quietly climbed to 1.81 meters, which is actually a bit taller than he was in his previous life.

Li Xiaoying, on the other hand, is a typical person who only eats but doesn’t grow. Not only does she not gain weight, but she doesn’t grow tall either. She doesn’t even grow in body!

Shaking his head, Chen Li withdrew his gaze and continued to guide Han Li's work.

Han Li was still a little flustered in the morning, but by the afternoon, Han Li was able to operate it skillfully.

The same change is also happening to Xie Xiaoling!

In the morning, Xie Xiaoling would even pack the wrong food and give the wrong drinks. But in the afternoon, Xie Xiaoling was already doing it with ease.

"How's it going? How's the day going?"

The day's business lasted until 8:30. Chen Li asked Han Li and Xie Xiaoling who had already started to pack up the shop.

"Hmm, not bad!"

“I was a little worried at first, but I got used to it after doing it.”

"Yeah~ Sister Li is right. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to do it at first, but now I think it's quite simple."

People are like this, always trying to get familiar with things they don't know.

Before, both Han Li and Xie Xiaoling were a little nervous about Chen Li's choice to let them go to the new store, but at the end of the day, the two of them felt that there was no problem!

"Hmm~!"

"Actually, that's it. Once you get familiar with it, everything will become very simple."

"Today is the opening, and there are a lot of people. If you all persisted today, there will be no problem in the future!"

"There are only two of you in the store now, so please work hard first."

"When all the people behind are recruited, I can make up for your vacation."

"Take one day off per week, but try to avoid weekends and holidays."

When it comes to catering, especially small catering, one of the biggest problems is rest.

Some small restaurants are open almost all year round, but these are mostly mom-and-pop shops.

It is naturally impossible for people like Chen Li to do this, so rest days still have to be arranged.

"It's okay, boss!"

Han Li smiled. She liked her current job very much. Not only was it easier than before, but her salary was almost twice as much as before.

You can even get a commission based on the store’s profit every month! So~ she is very satisfied!

Xie Xiaoling on the side also nodded. Her salary is less than Han Li. After all, Han Li is the store manager.

But compared with others, Xie Xiaoling's salary is relatively high in the same industry.

Coupled with the promotion mechanism promised by Chen Li, she is also very satisfied!

"You should learn from Han Li more often, and we will still open new stores in the future."

"Maybe you will become the manager of a new store by then, and your salary will be better than now."

Chen Li currently has a small manpower, and with his current financial strength, it is impossible to set up a training center alone, so he can only use this one-by-one approach to talent training.

"Well~ don't worry, boss!"

"Sister Xiaoli, I will ask more of you from now on!"

"no problem!"

Looking at Xie Xiaoling with a sincere face, Han Li nodded.

Naturally, Han Li would not refuse to help others, because if Xie Xiaoling learned from her, he would be considered her apprentice.

In the future, once Xie Xiaoling goes to a new store, Han Li can also get a portion of the commission income from Xie Xiaoling every month.

Although the income may not be much at the beginning, if she brings more apprentices in the future, the income will be very scary.

According to the system established by Chen Li, the earlier you become a master, the greater your future benefits will be.

So~ Han Li is already preparing to call her sister over.

Anyway, the salary at the ideal fried chicken restaurant is very high and the work is not too tiring. This kind of job is really great.

"Yeah~! Okay, let's clean up first! We're having a dinner tonight to celebrate your success, and also to celebrate the successful completion of the opening of our first branch."

Today, because many people came to help, the turnover today was quite high, even exceeding 3,000 yuan.

This is mainly due to the publicity of Dormitory 402 and Liu Qingqing’s dorm roommate, but the most important thing is the two employees in the store!

"Okay~Thank you boss!"

"Yeah~ We can have a big dinner tonight, thank you boss!"

The employees who can be recruited by Chen Li are all relatively lively in character, so neither of them is particularly reserved when talking to Chen Li, the boss.

Chen Li took out his cell phone and dialed the number of the fried chicken restaurant in Weigong Village.

"Huang Biao, you guys are also closing the shop. All the employees of our fried chicken restaurant are having a dinner tonight to celebrate the opening of the branch!"

After making the call, Chen Li went out and said to the group of young men and women chatting happily outside.

"Guys~ Let's eat hot-boiled mutton tonight! You can eat whatever you want~ You're welcome!"

Today, several roommates from dormitory 402 and Liu Qingqing dormitory also helped a lot. Although there were actually a lot of people, the actual effect was not that big.

But if people have this intention, Chen Li has to accept it.

"Yeah~Long live Brother Li!"

"Brother Li is awesome!"

"Brother-in-law is awesome!"

"Thank you, Brother Li!"

Among a group of howling boys in dormitory 402, a little sheep got in.

Chen Li looked at Li Xiaoying, who was already mingling with a group of boys, and shook his head!

"By the way~ tomorrow is the weekend, I think we can have a social gathering in the two dormitories."

"I happen to have relatives over there in Mentougou. Let's go there to play tomorrow!"

"We can cook barbecue by ourselves and cook a big pot of rice together. It's very interesting."

Chen Li walked to Liu Qingqing's side, held Liu Qingqing's little hand and said.

Liu Qingqing tilted her head and looked at Chen Li, her eyes flashing, but the smile on her face became a little weird!

"Okay~! Brother Li, you have the final say!"

"Okay~! Brother Li has the final say!"

"I think it's okay!"

"I have no opinion"

The animals in dormitory 402 thought that Chen Li was helping them to socialize, and Liu Qingqing's classmates did not refuse.

But only Liu Qingqing knows what Mentougou will be like tomorrow.

It seems like a fence is being built!

so.!
