The Era of Hard Work

In front of the gate of Caishi Villa, Lu Dong turned the front of the car and headed north.

"Old Du?" He asked, "What do you want me to do? At work..."

Du Xiaobing buckled up the seat belt on the co-pilot and said, "I'll talk about work matters when I get back to the company. Now I'm just talking about personal matters."

Lu Dong is no longer the same as when he first fell in love with Song Na. He has made remarkable progress in the past two years. Today's matter seems to be abnormal, so he simply asked, "Is it related to Yu Jing?"

Du Xiaobing's relationship with Lu Dong naturally had nothing to say, and he didn't hide it in front of Lu Dong, and said directly: "I'm trying to catch up with Yu Jing."

Lu Dong waited for the traffic light and asked, "Did you match your eyes?"

Du Xiaobing categorically said: "I've got my eye on me!"

Yu Zhanlong's family treated Lu Dong very well, and Lu Dong said naturally: "Old Du, I have something to say first, my Uncle Yu is just such a girl, if you look right, be serious, or Brother Wei can fly from Xichuan Come and cut you."

Du Xiaobing said: "Don't you understand me?"

Lu Dong smiled, remembering something, and asked, "Where is that Sun Sha?"

Du Xiaobing waved his hand: "Don't mention her, it's annoying to hear her name."

Obviously, Lao Du has always looked down on Sun Sha, and his attitude towards Ning Xue is completely different from before.

But on Ning Xue's side, it was completely broken long ago.

"As far as my family's situation is concerned, you also know that it's stuck at home and it's hard to find." Du Xiaobing didn't feel any pressure when talking about this with Lu Dong: "Don't talk about me, Lu Dong, if you didn't get along with Song Na early in the morning Now, it’s not much better now, if you say it’s easy to find, it’s really hard to find it.”

Lu Dong understood the meaning of these words, and also knew that what Lao Du said was a realistic situation.

Du Xiaobing added: "My dad would definitely not want to find an average one. Sun Sha is a treasure in his eyes. If I want to chase after Yu Jing, my dad will definitely not say anything."

Lu Dong reminded: "Don't do it to fool your father."

Du Xiaobing said: "What kind of person am I? Chasing Yu Jing is going to get married. She looks good, has a good personality, and excellent abilities. There is nothing to say about tutoring. There is no place for such a person to hold a lantern." Look for it, if you miss it, you don’t know when you’ll have to wait.”

Lu Dong said: "You really need to work harder. I heard from Ma Ming that his cousin is not easy to chase. Since she was young, I don't know how many people have chased her. She has always been honest."

"I'm different." Du Xiaobing looked very confident: "When I was in the Experimental Middle School, I was a first-class man of the hour. When I went to the Physical Education Institute, I was the famous Xiaoyao Wang. After graduation, I was no better than 99% of the people. ?”

Lu Dong thought for a while: "Based on what I saw today, at least Yu Jing doesn't reject you."

Du Xiaobing boasted: "This proves that I am still attractive."

Back at the company, the two put aside their personal affairs and focused on work matters. Du Xiaobing will stay in Quannan for a while after returning from his business trip, and then go to Guangdong and Guangxi.

As Lu's Catering further increases its advertising efforts, its brands have gained a certain reputation all over the country.

Even for Taifengyuan Braised Chicken, there are over a hundred franchise stores in the province.

With the support of Lu's Catering, the development speed of Taifengyuan Braised Chicken is far faster than when the other three brands started their businesses.

Of course, suitable taste, moderate price, and allowing franchisees to make real money are also the key.

If the franchisee can't make money, it's useless to do other things well.

The three brands under Lu's Catering are working hard towards thousands of chain stores.

In the afternoon, Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing participated in a joint recruitment in the company.

Since the business of Lu's Catering went out of Quannan and Taidong, various recruitments have never stopped.

It even has preliminary cooperation with some headhunting companies that have just emerged in China to find high-end talents suitable for the company's development.

Then there are relevant learning and training, the company has been organizing, especially the store manager level as the basic skeleton.

Taifeng Garden Braised Chicken, in terms of prospective franchisees, also adheres to the strategy of promoting training and franchising at the same time. In terms of standardized production, Yang Feng, the head of the R\u0026D department of the head office, and his apprentices are specially invited. Provide professional training to franchisees.

At the same time, in the selection of franchisees, franchisees with on-site catering business experience are given priority.

Entrepreneurship has always been a very difficult thing. People who have no relevant experience and do not make enough preparations are likely to fail.

For newcomers and new stores, the company continues to provide practical training and guidance, trying to make them survive and really make money.

Taifengyuan Braised Chicken is a long-term business, not an unscrupulous manufacturer who runs away after earning a franchise fee.

In the past two years, some franchising brands have gradually appeared in the society, just like selling houses in the real estate industry. Customers who are held high in the sky, let alone become mud under their feet, are not much worse.

Lu Dong's strict requirements are not only implemented in the entire Lu's catering, but also extended to the companies and stores below.

While Taifengyuan Braised Chicken has gradually opened up the market, word of mouth has also grown.

The sun was rising, and the time was slowly approaching noon. On the east side of Beihe Gangcheng Street, a medium-sized store had already had customers enter.

The decoration of the shop is very simple. The most eye-catching sign at the entrance is the signboard of Taifeng Garden Braised Chicken. There are more than a dozen wooden tables painted in purple and black. The rectangular wooden tables are very simple and take up little space. It is also the most common high stool.

The wall is a simple white putty wall, on which there are some introductions about the history and characteristics of Taifeng Garden Braised Chicken.

Just looking at these words, the long history of braised chicken and the celebrities who have eaten it are quite amazing.

There is a feeling of the old swallow before Wang Xietang flying into the homes of ordinary people.

When a customer came to the door, Shi Hongmei hurried over and said, "Hello."

This is a regular customer, sitting in front of a wooden table, said: "Boss, a small yellow braised chicken, a little spicy, and two more rice."

The rice is only charged for one portion, but you can add it as you like.

Shi Hongmei took out a simple pad with the corresponding number written on it, and left one for customers, and took the other to the small kitchen and pasted it on the window sill, so that Qi Yubao, who was making braised chicken, could look up at it. arrive.

Qi Yubao glanced at it, and his movements were quite nimble. He lit the fire under the casserole, put the semi-finished chicken thighs in it, poured it into the bagged material bag, and put ginger slices, shiitake mushrooms, green peppers and peppers into the pot one after another, covered the casserole and started cooking.

Soon, many customers came to the door again, and the twelve pot flavors on the integrated stove in front of Qi Yubao all turned on fire.

Because of the processing of semi-finished products, the dishes are cooked very quickly, and guests only need to wait a while before they can eat hot, fragrant chicken and rice.

At a little after twelve o'clock, all the tables in the store were filled with people, and the first batch of customers who came over basically left, and the tables had already been turned over.

In the small kitchen, the range hood was humming. Twelve stoves were lit together and never turned off again.

There was a high-powered fan blowing air on Qi Yubao, but he still felt the heat rising from the inside of the chef's hat.

The hat cannot be removed, which is a rigid rule, just like the anti-droplet masks around the mouths of him and his wife, which are must-have equipment during meal times.

Shi Hongmei picked it up once, just in time for a stranger from the company to visit, so she was deducted money and could not get the full quarterly rebate reward.

The company's management is very strict, but Qi Yubao also has a personal experience during this period of time, this is for the sake of long-term business.

If you can earn money, and earn a lot, these things are naturally nothing.

No one wants to spend so much time and energy to finally open the store, do a good business for a month or two, and then close the store.

"Boss, here are four big servings!" shouted a table of guests.

"Okay!" Shi Hongmei was collecting money, and hurried to find change, and asked over there: "Do you want spicy?"

"Two are mildly spicy, and two are not."

Shi Hongmei wrote it down, and posted it when she went back. By the way, she brought out the finished braised chicken and put it in front of the corresponding customer. After putting it down, she reminded: "Hello, please pay attention to the hot pot!"

It was just delivered here, and a customer checked out, and was busy collecting money, and then served the food after collecting the money.

Like Qi Yubao, Shi Hongmei has no free time at all.

But she would rather have a sore waist and sore legs than be idle.

Being tired means that there are many customers, the business is good, and money can be made.

It has been nearly two months since it opened, and it has earned a lot more than the previous half a year.

Besides, it's inside the store, where the wind and rain won't catch it, which is much better than setting up a street stall before.

After a while, the number of customers in the store gradually decreased, and by around two o'clock, only a few people were eating.

At 2:30, the last customer in the store checked out and left, and the busy store suddenly became quiet.

Shi Hongmei turned off all the lights as soon as possible, saving a little bit.

The couple began to clean the pot and tidy up the storefront.

Qi Yubao wiped the table with a rag first, and asked, "How much money did you see at noon today?"

Shi Hongmei had a rough idea: "Little three hundred."

"It's okay." Qi Yubao nodded, and said, "The money in our hands, except for wandering around, is it enough to pay off the company's first installment?"

Shi Hongmei managed the accounts and said, "Enough."

Qi Yubao said: "Why don't we pay the installment first, and we owe a debt, and we have been worrying about it all the time."

"What's the hurry?" Shi Hongmei has the calculation and shrewdness of a woman: "The interest-free loan given by the company has no interest, and there are still three months before the first payment period, so just wait until it is due."

Qi Yubao thought for a while, and agreed: "Then pay it back when it's due." He took the mop and came over to mop the floor: "This store is a bit tiring, and it can really make money. No wonder Lu's Catering can open the store all over the country and become Taidong. The leading enterprises in the catering industry do have two brushes, this time we join, joining is right!"

Shi Hongmei said: "I don't ask for how long it can last. If we can keep it for three to five years, we can make a lot of money. Even if it doesn't work, we still have the capital to do other things."

Qi Yubao said: "I hope they will continue to do well. I have an idea, this business is good, but those who come back are from the east of the county, and there are very few people from the west. Should we join another one and open a store in the west?" ?”
