Food: How Did I Become a Chef When I Set Up a Stall?

Chapter 152 The boss is my noble man!

 At noon, the weather was sunny, which was perfect weather.

Wang Wei returned to his shop and began to pack his things.

 Keep what you can use, and find others to take away and sell what you can’t use.

 Several surrounding residents saw things being moved in the small shop and came over and asked:

“Boss, what’s going on? No more business? Your scallion pancakes are quite delicious.”

Hearing this, Wang Wei explained:

“If I don’t do it, the landlord will raise the rent and the price is too high.”

Hearing Wang Wei’s words, the diners asked again: “Where should we go to rent a shop? We will identify you.”

Wang Wei explained with a relaxed expression while tidying up:

“I applied for a job at Jiangyuetai Lu Cuisine Restaurant and will work there from now on.”

Zheng Xiaohui then walked over and said, "Wang Wei, you don't want to rent anymore?"

 Then, several more people came over to ask.

“Boss, okay, we’ll go to Jiangyuetai to eat in a few days, and we’ll definitely order scallion pancakes. It’s a shame you’re leaving.”

 Unless there is original capital.

 Hearing his words, several people were a little stunned.

 “Well, you’re welcome to join us.”

 Just work for others and get paid.

Zheng Xiaohui has thought about it all.

Seeing him like this, Zheng Xiaohui felt the pleasure of succeeding in his conspiracy. He put on a smile and said hurriedly:

"No, just take your things away. Leave these price tags, dishes and chopsticks to me. I will definitely refund the deposit."

"Don't say that it's useless, retreat now, or I will dismantle the stove soon."

 “I have time to support you.”

 “Go, retreat.”

Wang Wei is in a good mood.

 The residents felt it was a pity.

Wang Weidu responded generously:

“It’s closed. I won’t open a store in the future. I’ll go to Jiangyue Tai Shandong Cuisine Restaurant to cook. I’ll still be responsible for scallion pancakes and potato shreds.”

He came to the store and saw Wang Wei packing things, and there was a waste collector nearby moving things onto a tricycle.

“Return the deposit to me, otherwise I will destroy the stove.”

As soon as he leaves, take over immediately and start a small restaurant.

 In other words, Wang Wei must either move out in the next two days or pay the rent according to the new standard.

 “Jiang Yuetai? The one in the city?”

 After starting a business, I realized that it is not something humans do.

“The rent is due, and I can’t afford to rent a store here.”

 With the booming business here before, we will definitely make money.

Hearing this, Wang Wei smiled and said:

“If the restaurant owner thinks highly of me, I will go there and do a good job.”

 The food I had at this stall was quite good, but I didn’t expect it to be so well cooked that I stopped making it.

There is nothing we can do about this kind of thing.

 In fact, for ordinary people, working is really more comfortable than starting a business.

When Wang Wei saw him coming, he changed his usual politeness, but he didn't say anything bad either. He just said:

“I won’t rent it anymore. I’ll make it look like it was before.”

 For example, scallion pancakes, shredded potatoes, fried rice, etc.

Although the income from opening your own store will be higher, I am still worried about it.

“Boss, why isn’t the door open today? Is it going to be renovated?”

 According to the agreement, the day after tomorrow is the day when the rent is due.

"right."

 There are also various costs, which are equivalent to putting yourself out there.

“Boss, you can do that. That Shandong cuisine restaurant is so good, it’s so popular.”

This store is not big and the location is relatively remote, but there are many residents around it, so there is no shortage of customers.

While Wang Wei was cleaning up, the landlord Zheng Xiaohui came over to check on the situation.

Zheng Xiaohui is also a cunning person who values ​​money more than anything else.

 “Jiang Yuetai? That’s pretty awesome!”

A few people chatted for a few more words and then left.

Zheng Xiaohui was afraid that he would dismantle the stove, so he immediately took out his mobile phone and refunded the deposit to him.

This time there is no more entanglement between the two.

Zheng Xiaohui also hoped that Wang Wei would keep the dishes and even the range hood.

Wang Wei felt that his greedy face was really disgusting.

 In reality, there are many such people who disgust you and pretend to want more.

Wang Wei is confident now, but don’t let him get used to it.

"Okay, let's settle everything. I'll keep the stove for you. When the rent is due in two days, you can just come over and inspect the house."

 “Don’t say useless things.”

 “I’m packing my things now, so I don’t care to talk to you.”

Wang Wei said directly.

Zheng Xiaohui felt the change in Wang Wei's tone.

Before, I was very submissive and even begged him to lower the rent.

 Why did he suddenly look like a different person?

 Previously, it was because family responsibilities fell on Wang Wei. As a man, he had no choice but to humble himself.

 There is no need to accept anger now, so naturally I won’t get used to it.

 No one is born humble.

Zheng Xiaohui is a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong, but Wang Wei's attitude makes him less showy.

“Where do you plan to go next? It won’t be to rent a shop nearby and open a small restaurant, right?”

 “There are no empty shops around.”

Zheng Xiaohui asked indirectly, his thoughts almost written on his face.

 “I won’t open a shop anymore, I will work for others.”

Wang Wei responded with a cold face.

 “Work? That’s good.”

 Hearing what he said, a smile appeared on Zheng Xiaohui's face.

 Immediately, I watched for a while and left with satisfaction.

Wang Wei didn’t want to see him for a moment. Soon, the store was emptied out, the range hood was dismantled and sold, leaving nothing but an empty stove.

Wang Wei sold these things to another friend who opened a small restaurant.

Just now, Zheng Xiaohui was chatting with the rag collector, trying to buy something back, but ended up crumbling.

 After everything was taken care of, Wang Wei said goodbye to this small shop that had been open for a year.

 There is nothing to be reluctant about.

 Because the place to go next is better.

 The next day, Wang Wei came to Jiangyuetai Restaurant early.

 Zhang Hu will arrange a job for him and tell him how to do it.

Wang Weiren is very down-to-earth and does what he says.

The first time he joined the team, he learned that there were dedicated people responsible for cutting and washing vegetables, and even making noodles.

 He told Zhang Hu that he wanted to make the dough for the scallion pancakes by himself, so Zhang Hu asked him to watch it.

 Everything is going in a good direction.

Zheng Xiaohui started renovating it immediately after Wang Wei left, and restored it exactly to the original arrangement, almost one to one.

 He hired a chef, asked his wife to be the cashier, and started soliciting business.

 When customers see the store being renovated, they think that the boss has made money and done the new decoration.

 But when I ate the scallion pancakes and vinegar-fried potato shreds, I realized that they tasted completely different from before.

A customer looked at the cashier at the counter, frowned and asked:

“Have you changed the chef? Where is the original chef?”

Hearing this, Zheng Xiaohui’s wife smiled and explained:

"It's changed. The previous chef left and no longer works here. We hired a new chef, and his cooking skills are also good!"

"Oh, like this."

 The guest still finished the scallion pancakes and shredded potatoes, but the expression on his face was not so happy.

 The scallion pancakes used to be delicious.

Soft and fragrant, with the hot flavors of chopped green onion and sesame inside.

 The skin is crispy, the inside is soft, and the taste is good.

 Eat a few pieces of scallion pancakes, drink a bowl of thin millet porridge, and pair it with a plate of shredded potatoes.

That feeling is quite comfortable.

 It doesn’t feel so delicious now.

The guest didn’t say anything, but he just never came again.

Zheng Xiaohui looked at the business in the store. The business in the store was very good on the first day.

 He felt that his opportunity to make money had come.

 Sure enough, this place is suitable for a small restaurant, as there are many people eating there.

 But he did not notice that the atmosphere in the store was not so lively and the customers were not very interested.

 Then, the second day, the third day

 In the following days, the restaurant’s business became worse and worse.

 This kind of small restaurant is actually not very profitable. The only way to make a profit is to be a mom-and-pop shop.

 The husband is cooking inside, while the wife is outside collecting bills and taking orders.

 Hugely reduce labor costs to make money.

Zheng Xiaohui hired a chef who knew how to cook, and the price was quite high.

 Excluding the chef's salary, his shop really doesn't make much money.

Seeing that business was getting worse and worse, Zheng Xiaohui became more and more anxious.

how so?

How come there are fewer and fewer of these people?

Isn’t there a lot of people eating in this place?

 When the surrounding residents chatted, they would also chat a few words.

“The chef of that small restaurant has been changed. Now it’s not delicious, so I won’t go there.”

 “Yes, I don’t think it tastes good either.”

“That boss did such a good job before, why did he leave?”

“I heard that Jiang Yuetai Lu Cuisine Restaurant hired them, and they did a very good job there!”

A few days later, Zheng Xiaohui’s restaurant sales were terrible.

The chef who was invited saw that Zheng Xiaohui was a stingy person and was picky. He also knew that he might not be able to pay his wages this month. After receiving a salary, he quit his job.

This matter made Zheng Xiaohui very angry.

After a lot of hard work, I got nothing, and even lost a lot of money to go in.

 Not long after that, a “Want Shop For Sale” label was posted on the door of the store.

Zheng Xiaohui also wanted to contact Wang Wei, but he didn't know that Wang Wei had blocked him long ago. Later, when he found out that Wang Wei had gone to Jiang Yuetai, he regretted it even more.

Wang Wei is doing better and better at Jiang Yuetai.

His scallion pancakes are very popular.

 Soon, it also became a signature dish in Jiang Yuetai.

Every day when he went to work, Wang Wei saw his name and photo appear on the chef's column, and felt very happy.

This feeling of honor was something I didn’t have when opening a small store before.

One time, Wang Wei asked his wife to come to Jiangyuetai for dinner. His wife also felt happy when she saw Wang Wei's photo.

“I never thought we could be like this.”

Wang Wei’s wife said with emotion.

Wang Wei smiled and replied: "Our boss is my noble man, he is very powerful."

“The boss recruits chefs based on whether your cooking is delicious or not.”

“He who cooks extremely delicious food, is proficient in two dishes, and can also help with other dishes, is a chef.”

 “It’s a success once my skills are noticed by the boss.”

Wang Wei's subsequent development has been very good. He has worked hard at Jiang Yuetai and is willing to learn.

His scallion pancakes have attracted many customers.

Jiang Feng has been paying attention to Jiang Yuetai’s business situation.

 Especially after I left.

 Fortunately, after he became the chef, although the business was not as prosperous as before, it was hard to find a job.

 But it is always full every day, and you often have to queue up during meal time.

 Jiangyuetai Shandong Cuisine Restaurant has established a firm foothold in the local area.

If you want to eat authentic Shandong cuisine, locals can think of this restaurant.
