rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 279 The landlord’s family has no surplus food either

That night, Chen Li took Liu Qingqing and all the employees of the fried chicken restaurant to have a meal together.

As new shareholders, Su Mei and Zhou Xiaoli also attended the dinner.

Compared with the meal we had during the holiday a year ago, the number of employees tonight has actually increased a lot.

But in fact, if we exclude the dozen or so employees we just hired, there are four fewer old employees at Ideal Fried Chicken.

This ratio is actually very large, because the original total number of employees at Ideal Fried Chicken was only about ten.

This is actually very helpless!

You must know that the welfare benefits of Ideal Fried Chicken are quite good in the same industry, but this is a service industry after all.

No matter how generous the conditions offered by Chen Li were, he would never be able to pay a waiter more than a white-collar worker in another company.

But in fact, Chen Li didn't give him a chance.

All old employees of Ideal Fried Chicken will be promoted to chefs after becoming familiar with the relevant operations, and will be transferred to new stores as store managers.

And once you serve as a store manager and master, it is very easy to earn more than 1,000 yuan a month.

But again, this is a service industry after all. Even if Chen Li is a good boss and does not squeeze employees' hard-earned money, every industry has its own ceiling.

The Ideal Fried Chicken restaurant currently cannot reach the ceiling of the same industry, although the Ideal Fried Chicken is already very good.

So in this case, it is normal for someone to leave.

Among the four people who left, two went on a blind date during the Spring Festival, and one even had a date with someone after less than ten days of going on a blind date.

Then both of them chose to go out to work with their husbands and their blind dates!

The other two people chose to go to Guangdong Province.

I heard that one entered a clothing factory and the other entered an electronics factory.

Working in a factory is something. As long as you are willing to endure hardships, you can definitely make money, but the level of work is naturally not on the same level as that of a fried chicken restaurant.

And in Chen Li's opinion, if you stay at a fried chicken restaurant, your income will definitely not be worse than entering a factory.

In fact, if social security and other things are included, the salary of the employees of Ideal Fried Chicken Restaurant has reached a very high level.

It's just that not everyone cares about those things.

Just like Chen Li said years ago that he would buy social security in the future, at that time many people didn't even know what social security was.

Some people even thought that Chen Li was cutting wages in disguise, because paying social security requires employees to bear part of the expenses.

At that time, Chen Li asked Su Mei to help explain for a long time, but in fact, in the end, some people still didn't understand.

In fact, it's not that they don't understand, but in their view, paying social security belongs to paying social security. However, the amount of salary they receive has decreased, which makes some of them very unhappy.

The two people who entered the factory belong to this category.

In fact, these two were not the only ones who thought so at first, but after returning to their hometowns or communicating with others, others understood that this was a good thing.

Maybe there are still people who don't understand, but because the treatment at Ideal Fried Chicken is pretty good, they haven't thought about leaving.

But ~ these are not important anymore.

Chen Li runs a fried chicken chain, which belongs to the catering service industry, so it is normal for employees to come and go.

In the future, when Ideal Fried Chicken expands to a certain scale, people may resign every day, and people may also come in every day.

You can't keep those who want to leave, but you can drive away those who want to stay. Well, you can still drive them away.

This meal this evening was actually somewhat magical to Chen Li.

Because Liu Qingqing and Wu Xuewei appeared in Chen Li's sight at the same time.

If it were Chen Li in his previous life, he would probably be quite flustered at this moment.

But now Wu Xuewei is still Wu Caixia, and her personal trajectory has changed, so it's hard to say whether the other party can still be Wu Xuewei.

In her previous life, Wu Caixia became a nanny and finally transformed into Wu Xuewei by chance.

But Wu Caixia now, if there were not some irresistible factors, she probably would not have had the encounters she had in her previous life.

From now on, Wu Caixia will be Wu Caixia. Chen Li has no plans to have anything happen with her, after all, he had already cut off any thoughts about this woman in his previous life.

Chen Li looked at Wu Caixia, smiled, turned around and gave Liu Qingqing a chopstick to cook the mutton.

"I didn't expect you to like eating mutton? Many people over there are not used to it!"

People in Erlong Town don't have the habit of eating mutton, but Chen Li does.

In his previous life, he stayed in Chengdu for a long time and ate mutton several times every year.

However, the mutton in Chengdu is often sold in soup pots, which is quite different from the mutton-shabu in Yanjing.

Diagonally across from the community where Chen Li lived in his previous life, there was a Lao Yanjing Shabu-shabu mutton restaurant, but it closed down within three months of opening.

Because there is no business at all.

Sesame sauce paired with chive flowers is fine for Sichuan people to try, but only a few will like it.

Chen Li spent a lot of time both in Yanjing and Chengdu, so he was used to eating both Yanjing's hotpot and Sichuan's mutton soup pot.

Chen Li's favorite is actually the mutton pot helmet.

Use a white noodle pot with spicy steamed mutton and then serve it with a bowl of mutton soup.

Tsk~! Forget about the smell.

But it's a pity that this is Yanjing, and Chen Li has never seen anyone eating it this way.

As for Liu Qingqing, Chen Li originally thought that Miss Liu didn't like mutton very much, because last time Deng Weimin invited him to go to Donglaishun with Liu Qingqing, Liu Qingqing didn't eat much.

As a result, I don’t know what happened today, but Miss Liu had a huge appetite. Almost all of the plate of mutton in front of Chen Li was eaten by Miss Liu.

In fact, Chen Li didn't know that Miss Liu didn't like mutton, but was hungry!

Miss Liu ate her lunch with a slightly embarrassed mood, so she didn't eat much at all.

Then the dinner was a little late because we had to wait for all the employees to gather, so Miss Liu was actually hungry.

In addition, people these days actually eat quite a lot of food. There may be a "cat stomach" like ten or twenty years later, but it is definitely rare.

Even for girls, it is normal to eat a large portion of food at each meal. If you are twenty years from now, someone will probably say something about it.

"You eat so much, aren't you afraid of gaining weight?"

This kind of talk is actually quite nonsense, especially many girls, who would rather go hungry for the sake of their figure, which Chen Li didn't understand.

As a person who likes delicious food, Chen Li's choice is to eat what he needs to eat, or at least exercise to burn off excess calories.

Of course, it doesn't matter how Chen Li thinks about this kind of thing. He can't care if others are happy to be hungry.

But Chen Li is still obliged to feed his girlfriend.

So during this meal, Chen Li has been helping Liu Qingqing cook the meat!

Miss Liu was indeed hungry. Chen Li cooked the meat and she ate the meat. Chen Li cooked the vegetables and she ate the vegetables.

After eating for about ten minutes, Miss Liu slowed down her eating when her stomach was almost full.

"Uh, did I eat a little too much?"

Miss Liu looked at Su Mei and Zhou Xiaoli who were somewhat dumbfounded, and whispered in Chen Li's ear.

"What are you talking about? If you like to eat, let's eat more."

"The mutton here is actually only average. I will find someone to get some good mutton later, and then I will prepare a whole mutton feast for you."

Liu Qingqing's figure is actually on the thin side, which has something to do with Miss Liu's physique.

She is the legendary type who can eat no matter how she eats and not gain weight.

Hmm~ Of course, the eating mentioned here refers to the normal category of "eating", and overeating does not count.

To be honest, such people are actually quite hateful.

Chen Li had such a friend in his previous life. At that time, Chen Li loved food and worked in a nightclub, so he often needed to drink.

So at that time, Chen Li had a beer belly at a young age.

In addition, he likes food. Not only does he often go out to restaurants to eat, he will even cook a bunch of delicious food at home to reward himself.

At that time, Chen Li would exercise for a while every day in order to prevent his figure from changing too much.

Sometimes he plays basketball, sometimes he plays badminton. In short, he needs to stay in shape through exercise.

But Chen Li’s friend is very nonsense.

That guy has a bigger appetite than Chen Li, and he especially likes to eat pork belly, fried chicken, braised pork and other foods.

But~ no matter how much this guy eats, he just doesn't gain weight.

When Chen Li was playing ball, this guy was at home playing games. When Chen Li was running, this guy was sleeping at home.

But even so, this guy's figure is even better than that of Chen Li.

Where the hell can I go to reason with this?

So~ when Liu Qingqing was muttering to Chen Li whether she had eaten a little too much, the first reaction that flashed through Chen Li's mind was...

Feeding plan!

In Chen Li's opinion, Liu Qingqing is a bit thin now.

In fact, what Chen Li likes is the slightly fat figure. Of course, this is just a matter of personal aesthetics.

Anyway, Chen Li felt that those who were too thin had almost nothing but skin and bones, and there was no sense of beauty at all.

So~ it’s time to start a feeding plan for Miss Liu?

"Tan Yang? Is Tan Yang delicious?"

As a native of Sichuan Province, Miss Liu naturally likes to eat.

To be honest, in Chen Li's impression, almost all people in Sichuan Province like to eat.

Uh~ This is actually nonsense. Who can resist the temptation of delicious food?

"Chen Li, can you get Tan Yang?"

Before Chen Li could answer, Zhou Xiaoli suddenly asked.

"Uh~ It's hard to say, I can try."

In fact, what Chen Li said was just a casual mention. He mentioned Tan sheep, but the feeding plan he actually had in mind was something else.

As a result, Zhou Xiaoli stopped him when she asked him. It was obviously not good to say that he couldn't. This was obviously telling Liu Qingqing that she had lied just now.

But Chen Li really can't do it at the moment.

In his previous life, Chen Li would have really dared to claim this, because one of his younger brothers later returned to Ning Province and inherited the family's livestock industry.

That little brother came to Yanjing on his own to work hard, but he failed to achieve results and later ended up working as a waiter in a KTV.

At that time, Chen Li was still the lobby manager. Perhaps because that guy's experience of running to Yanjing alone to work hard reminded Chen Li of his past self, Chen Li took good care of this little brother at that time.

To be honest, at first, Chen Li was really a little brother whose family conditions were average.

Because this guy often talks about herding sheep when he was a child, he sounds like he comes from a poor family.

After all, it was the 21st century, shepherd boy. He was definitely not rich.

But what Chen Li didn't expect was that herding sheep was indeed herding, but it was also herding one sheep, ten sheep, a hundred, or hundreds of sheep.

Later, Chen Li found out that the man's family had more than 600 sheep and other properties.

The reason why this guy came to Yanjing to "work hard" was actually because he had a quarrel with his family and said that he wanted to go out and behave like himself and go back to show his parents.

But the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny.

In the end, this guy didn't look like a real person. In the end, it was his second uncle who drove to Yanjing to take him back.

At that time, Chen Li thought that his fate with this buddy was over. After all, how many friends can he make if he wanders around the world?

But this guy is obviously a sentimental person, and he remembers Chen Li's previous care for him.

So, every time there is a festival, this guy will send some of his own mutton to Chen Li.

Similarly, Chen Li will also send the other party some local specialties from his side.

Even this guy has been to Sichuan Province several times, and Chen Li also took his family to his home as guests.

In short, the relationship between the two was very good at that time. Although they were not in the same place, they could be called friends or brothers.

But here comes the problem. When Chen Li met that guy, it was already in the 21st century.

Uh~ That’s a bit exaggerated! To be precise, it will be a few years later.

So~ now let Chen Li go find Tan Yang. He is looking for a ghost!

But after a moment, Chen Li still nodded!

"I can find it, what's the matter? Sister Li, your family also likes to eat mutton?"

"Well~ My dad likes to eat mutton. If you can find Tan sheep, get one for me."

Zhou Xiaoli naturally didn't know what was going on with Chen Li, so she nodded and stated her request.

"Uh~ Sister Li, your family's conditions are such that you can't handle even a tan sheep, right?"

Chen Li was a little confused. Although Tan Sheep was a good thing, it was not so precious that it was hard to find.

Chen Li's idea at this moment was that he would spend money to find someone to get one for Zhou Xiaoli.

"What do you know about my father?"

"Hey~ don't mention it!"

Zhou Xiaoli is also very depressed. Although her family is quite wealthy, her father is actually quite frugal.

This can be seen from Zhou Xiaoli's pocket money.

Although it's only 1999, in fact, some wealthy people who have lived a long time ago have already opened a gap with the ordinary class.

Just like Zhou Xiaoli's family, the Zhou family's wealth is simply unimaginable to ordinary people these days.

But as the daughter of the Zhou family, how much pocket money does Zhou Xiaoli have per month?

Five thousand yuan!

Is five thousand yuan too much? It’s actually quite a lot!

After all, most people's wages these days have not yet exceeded the thousands, so this five thousand yuan a month's pocket money is not a small amount.

However, as the second generation of a rich real estate family, the pocket money of 5,000 yuan does not seem to be that much.

Zhou Xiaoli has a car, a Passata bought by her family, but this girl doesn’t drive it at all because she wants to save fuel!

She would rather drive Su Mei's Xiali than drive her own Passata.

After all, as a woman who is about to enter the new century, Zhou Xiaoli is the kind of person who is at the forefront of fashion.

Just like the Nokia mobile phone she had asked someone to buy from Europe, that device has not yet been released in China.

The same goes for Zhou Xiaoli’s clothes and shoes. Fortunately, Zhou Xiaoli doesn’t have much demand for bags.

Of course, it’s not that Zhou Xiaoli doesn’t like bags, but that the concept of incorporating bags into the category of fashion has just been implemented in China.

To put it bluntly, Zhou Xiaoli has not yet developed the need to use luxury bags.

Then there are some cosmetics, skin care products, etc. In short, Zhou Xiaoli’s pocket money of 5,000 yuan a month is simply not enough for her.

This is also the reason why Zhou Xiaoli wants to invest in Ideal Fried Chicken, because it’s really not enough!

The money that Miss Zhou invested in Chen Li before was written as an IOU to his father.

Therefore, the landlord’s family has no surplus food!
