Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

However, Sijiu City has not yet fully opened up to contracting, so Chen Xueru cannot take over the store again.

As the first person to try it in the old city, He Yuzhu opened up the situation for subsequent reforms, which will be easier to implement in the future.

"Director, there used to be a restaurant here, and I think that place is quite suitable.

"He Yuzhu has already conducted an investigation, after all, he has been in this area for several years," but I hope to rebuild and replan it, especially the infrastructure such as water, electricity and drainage.

“I’m not going to be small, so rebuilding is the best option, making sure all the foundations are in place so I can run the business with peace of mind.

"Otherwise you might get into a lot of trouble later!"

The director nodded to show his understanding: "This is not a big problem. Do you plan to use our street construction team?"

He had some selfish motives about the issue because using the street's construction team could increase the street's revenue.

Now there is land on Qianmen Street but it is not profitable. Who would believe this news?

“Oh, sure.

However, reconstruction needs to be registered, in this regard..." He Yuzhu naturally would not go through these procedures himself. Since the street wants to make money, let the street bear these troubles itself.

The director of the street office agreed immediately and promised that the street engineering team would be responsible for handling all the formalities.

Considering that this is the first project, there are more than a thousand merchants here!

In the future, when individual contracting is opened up, even if reconstruction is not needed, what should be done with repairs and renovations? These are all potential resources for the future.

Although he is the director of a subdistrict office, he has a keen economic mind.

This is exactly what ** thought. If the subdistrict office is rich, why should he care about these trivial matters? In this way, it was finalized. Both parties showed sincerity and quickly determined the details of the restaurant.

However, there is still a problem here: what about the employees?

He Yuzhu knew that it was not easy to manage such people, so he directly proposed: "As for the assessment system, everyone knows the past problems, so if you want to use these people now, they must pass my assessment.

"That's fine, I understand, but there are too many people right now. If you don't use it, others will follow suit, and I really can't accommodate them all.

“The director of the subdistrict office has a very good attitude, which is also due to He Yuzhu’s strong background and the fact that he can take over directly.

Moreover, as a pilot project, he did not dare to force He Yuzhu to accept it.

At the same time, as a pilot project, it will naturally attract the attention of superiors.

……

It was a rare move to start a project on Qianmen Street, and it quickly attracted the attention of surrounding residents.

Although the store is now nationalized, most of the former ** managers are still there. They are curious about it and come to ask questions.

He Yuzhu did not hide anything and shared the information directly, which made everyone shocked and full of expectations.

They were given the opportunity to take back the store, but there was a key point: the store was not privately owned, but contracted.

Everyone knows what this means, after all, they have already received dividends!

The shops here usually have business in the front, people live in the back, and have a courtyard in the backyard.

After the demolition, pipes will be installed first to connect to the water, electricity and gas lines on the main street.

The whole building has three floors. He Yuzhu planned the first floor as a lobby, the second floor as a private room, and the third floor as an office area.

The backyard was not changed much, only underground pipes were laid, the kitchen was set up in the backyard, and a dressing room and lounge were added.

The hall on the first floor is not intended to be filled with tables and chairs. The second floor is designed as an open structure with a patio in the middle and the boxes arranged around the patio.

There are landscapes and fish ponds at ** on the first floor, surrounded by many partitions and dotted with green plants, adding to the characteristics of the first floor lobby.

His design concept is unique, but the actual layout will try a variety of patterns, striving to be staggered, elegant and exquisite. Although the number of seats will be reduced, the environment created will be top-notch.

There is a certain degree of shelter between each box, creating a sense of privacy.

The restaurant atmosphere is elevated to the extreme!

The project lasted for more than two months, and the main work was only completed as winter was approaching.

The next step was to work on interior decoration and customized seats, and He Yuzhu was very busy.

After everything was done, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and started recruiting people.

The first batch was the original employees, who had been waiting for several months and were feeling anxious.

The original restaurant already has chefs, but what are their levels?

Most of the masters before liberation have retired, and those who remain are mostly apprentices who have some understanding of the industry.

"Everyone, I've taken over this place!" He Yuzhu spoke first, "Three months have passed since the reconstruction project began, and some people have found new jobs and are no longer here.

So the only ones left are those who still hold on here?"

“Yeah, we have nowhere to go.

“Someone responded directly.

“Since you have chosen to stay, you must listen to me.

"He Yuzhu announced: "This is no longer publicly owned, but privately operated.

I will no longer have a hierarchy, but instead pay you based on how well you do your job.

If you perform well, your salary will double; if you perform poorly, I will fire you.

"Resign?" the rest shouted in surprise.

After they digested this information, He Yuzhu continued, “Behaviors like the past where customers were insulted for no reason are absolutely not allowed.

If you have any problem, come to me and I will handle it.

We are in the catering industry, the service industry. What is service? It means smiling and being enthusiastic.

You know what you were like in the past, and I don't want to employ employees like you anymore.

“Now that the educated youth have returned, there are many job seekers. I can recruit young people who have experienced hardships and are easier to teach.

However, considering how long you have been here, I will give you a chance - now is completely different from the past, and you need to correct your past habits.

He Yuzhu took out a management regulation, which was a rule he had summarized himself: "Everyone take a copy and go back to study it slowly. This is what is required of you.

I will not fire you at will, and the company will not agree to that. We are in an employment relationship.

This is a management rule. If you comply with it, you will receive a salary increase and a bonus. If you fail to do so or violate the rules, you will have no choice but to leave.

The catering industry has its own particularities. Working hours are mainly concentrated at noon and in the evening. People start work at 10 a.m. and get off work late in the evening.

But starting from 7:30 p.m., no new customers will be accepted and the restaurant will close at 6 p.m.

The dinner rush usually occurs after 5 p.m.

“Everyone should remember this carefully when you go back and think about how to improve your work.

"He Yuzhu dismissed everyone and closed the door.

The opening date has been set and he is going to look for Ma Hua.

 …

He did not enter the factory directly because he was no longer a factory worker.

In the evening, he went straight to Ma Hua's house.

"Master, you finally came to see me.

"Ma Hua is already a husband. Seeing He Yuzhu coming to visit, he was very excited. "I'll go to the kitchen. We must have a drink to celebrate tonight!"

"Okay, let's eat here tonight.

"He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I came to you because my restaurant is about to open, and I would like to invite you and your fellow apprentices to join me.

"No problem!" Ma Hua nodded in agreement.

Ma Hua's wife seemed to want to say something but ultimately said nothing.

He Yuzhu saw it, but didn't think too much about it.

Ma Hua is now the canteen director of the steel mill and it is not easy for him to resign.

Although his position is not high, he is a cadre after all.

He Yuzhu enjoyed dinner and drank some wine at Ma Hua's house, then agreed on a time and left.

At this time, Ma Hua's wife couldn't wait to say: "I say, you have already become the canteen director, why do you want to resign?"

Ma Hua looked at his wife, shook his head and said, "You have long hair but little knowledge.

My master doesn't even care about this canteen director, so why should I be reluctant to give him up?"

"Following the master will give you a way out. Don't you understand this simple truth now?"

"What do you mean by that?" Ma Hua's wife said dissatisfiedly, "This is a stable job! Do you know how to cherish it?"

"Haha~" Ma Hua laughed contemptuously: "This salary is not as good as doing private work. What's the use?"

"Do you think you can earn more by following your master?" Ma Hua's wife questioned, "Aren't you living a good life now?"

"What's good about that?" Ma Hua asked, "Even though I'm the canteen director, I'm still a cook.

Those steel mill leaders come to enjoy their privileges, but don’t they still have to be served by me personally? "

“Instead of running around doing private work on weekdays, it’s better for you to go directly to the chef’s restaurant and concentrate on cooking in the kitchen.

I won’t talk about the income. I will be the first to tell you when the time comes. You can see for yourself.

“……” Seeing that her husband had made up his mind, Ma Hua’s wife had no choice but to accept her fate. After all, He Yuzhu was his master.

“Well, if you don’t make much, you have to come back.

"You just don't understand my master. When has my master ever fallen into trouble?" Ma Hua felt that his wife was too petty.

In Shuxiang Garden, after the red cloth was unveiled, firecrackers rang out outside and the guests invited by He Yuzhu began to pour into the restaurant.

"Wow~ Is this a restaurant?" Uncle Niu exclaimed, because the layout here was something he had never seen before.

Uncle Niu is well-traveled and has tried many restaurants. He considers himself a worldly-wise man, but the unique layout here opened his eyes.

“Yes, this is something I have never seen before.

"Xu Huizhen was also surprised. She has been running a tavern and knows all kinds of people and things on Qianmen Street, but He Yuzhu is undoubtedly the most special one.

The leader and his wife mingled among the crowd in a low-key manner; they were invited.

As soon as the leader saw the environment here, he immediately felt the unique atmosphere. This dining experience was a pleasure.

The leader's wife also agreed and said, "Indeed, we can come here to eat more often and don't have to bother Zhuzi to come home anymore.

“Well, you’re right.

"The leader put his hands behind his back and looked around carefully.

He Yuzhu led everyone to their seats. He had already finished speaking outside and now they just had to enjoy the food.

Due to the layout of the space, this place is not suitable for large banquets, and each area is cleverly separated.

Use screens, large flower pots and other decorations to create a staggered layout.

Ma Hua led He Yuzhu's apprentices to work in the kitchen. The previous chefs and helpers were reassigned tasks after being assessed by He Yuzhu.

Because they are a Sichuan restaurant, if you don’t know how to cook Sichuan cuisine, you can just help out temporarily.

Some new waiters were also hired. The older ones are responsible for serving the dishes, while the younger ones are generally responsible for serving the food.

Each waiter on the first floor is responsible for three tables, and there is one waiter in each private room upstairs. They all wear uniform red Tang suits and black long skirts.

He Yuzhu never relies on nepotism, and all female employees tie their hair up to prevent it from falling into the dishes.

It is a strict rule to do your hair meticulously every day, and the first thing you do every day is to style your hair.

As soon as the dishes were served, everyone praised them! The cooking skills were exquisite, and these were the skills of He Yuzhu's apprentices, and He Yuzhu was usually responsible for the private room service on the second floor.

The environment was beautiful and the taste was excellent, so they decided to come often in the future.

He Yuzhu's target customer group is people living around Daqianmen.

He quietly brought the leader and his wife to the second floor, arranged for them to dine in a private room, and personally cooked four dishes and a soup for them.

"Zhu Zi, now it seems that you do have the talent to run a restaurant.

"While tasting the dishes, the leader said: "I will come here often in the future, but you will have to charge a fee then.

"Don't worry, there will definitely be a fee. The worst thing about running a restaurant is free food and drinks.

"He Yuzhu responded with a smile: "If you want to come, just let the driver pick you up, but you have to eat less spicy food as you are not young anymore.

"Haha, is that what you said?" The leader turned to look at his wife.

The leader’s wife also laughed: “It wasn’t me who said that, it was the doctor who suggested it.

“Okay, I like any dish made by Zhuzi.

“The leader seemed very happy.

“Okay, when you come, I’ll prepare some nourishing food for you and let you try the imperial medicinal food.

“He Yuzhu has improved in cooking palace dishes and can prepare them in advance in the space. The help from the leaders this time is great.

After all, being the first to contract in Beijing is not an easy task. The leader completed it in a short period of time, which shows that he put in a lot of effort.

"Great!" The leader was very happy and enjoyed the meal.

He Yuzhu stayed for a while, then went downstairs to greet other guests.

After a lot of excitement, Shuxiangyuan finally officially opened.

...

The next day at noon, Chen Xueru and her husband Fan Jinyou walked into Shuxiang Garden. As soon as they entered the door, a waiter greeted them warmly: "Welcome, how many people are you?"

"Just the two of us!" Chen Xueru replied.

"this way please.

The waiter immediately led them to a small table suitable for four people.

After we sat down, the waiter quickly brought us two menus, both in hardcover.

The menu not only includes the names of the dishes, but also photos of the dishes and even lists the ingredients and weight of each dish.

Chen Xueru's eyes lit up, and she said to Fan Jinyou: "Jinyou, look at how unique this menu is.

Fan Jinyou nodded in agreement: "Well, it's really good, this kind of environment is probably unique in the country.

Chen Xueru also received an invitation letter yesterday, but she did not come because Fan Jinyou was particularly impetuous on windy days. Now that the wind has stopped, he has been expelled from the street, and even on Qianmen Street, he has become a person that people don't want to mention.

That's why they decided to come today.

In addition, Chen Xueru also had her own plans. After all, she couldn't let Fan Jinyou stay at home doing nothing, so she considered finding him a job.
