Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Shanhe, are you serious? You're really going to give me one thousand?" Sha Zhu was the first to lose his temper and became extremely excited. Even He Daqing's face, which had never changed for thousands of years, changed.

"If I say one thousand, of course it's one thousand, but there is a prerequisite. The dishes must be well prepared and the customers must be satisfied. If the dishes are well prepared, then it won't be a problem to increase the salary then."

Zhao Shanhe knows very well that in a restaurant, service can only be guaranteed to the minimum, and the quality of the chef is the decisive factor in determining the quality of a restaurant. A few years later in the play, Yu Li offered Sha Zhu a high salary of fifteen thousand yuan.

"Shanhe, don't worry. The chef makes a living by doing this. If you can't cook the dishes well, wouldn't that be a slap in the chef's face?" He Daqing said.

"Uncle He, you still have to help me do something."

"What's the matter? Shanhe, tell me."

"Find me a few more of your skilled fellow apprentices. Don't worry, I won't let you find them in vain. As long as they pass the test, I'll give you 200 yuan. You don't have to worry about them taking your position as the head chef.

To tell you the truth, I will open more than one store, and Zhuzi will have to take on the responsibility of running a store for me. I don't worry about Uncle He, are you okay, Zhuzi?"

"Shanhe, don't worry, there will be no problem. I have learned a lot from my father in the past few years. It will be no problem for me to run a store."

"Zhu Zi, I'm not worried about your craftsmanship, but your temper is giving me a headache. You have to promise me that you won't have conflicts with customers."

"Shanhe, you've seen me change over the years. Don't worry, as long as the customer doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, I promise not to fight back or curse back. But if they are looking for trouble, I can't guarantee it."

"Zhu Zi, what nonsense are you talking about? Shanhe pays us so much. No matter whose fault it is, you should just bear with it. Don't cause trouble for Shanhe."

"Uncle He, I think Zhuzi is right. We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it either. We don't welcome people who are looking for trouble. Just do your job with peace of mind. I'll be there if anything goes wrong.

But it's not too much, I'll try to be tolerant. I position the hotel as a high-end hotel, and the guests who come here are either rich or noble. If we hit a wall, we'll be in trouble, don't you think?"

"How about this, Zhuzi will work with me, I'll take care of him and give him a lower salary," said He Daqing.

"Dad" Shazhu's call was full of sorrow.

"No need, Uncle He. Zhuzi's craftsmanship is good enough. You two are overqualified. You should open your own shop. I will give you the greatest authority. You can find me and take care of the people under you. This way, it will be easier for you to use him. How do you think?"

"That's fine, but are we going to pay for the salary?"

"Uncle He, you are joking. I will definitely pay your wages. I said I would give you 1,000 yuan, and I will definitely give you 1,000 yuan. How can I find someone and ask you to pay? This is nonsense.

By the way, Uncle He, the salary for the chefs you find is also 1,000, right? Find three for now, and I'll raise your salary by 200, to 1,200. After all, you were the first one to come to me, so it's not appropriate for you to get the same salary as others. But you have to make sure that the people you find are good, and there can be no mistakes in the kitchen."

"Shanhe, one thousand is already very good. Besides, we are all chefs, so it would not be appropriate for me to take two hundred more."

"Just listen to me and pay me twelve hundred. Then I'll make you the head chef. All the cooks will be under your charge and no one else can say anything.

Also, Uncle He, talent training has to continue. You are old, and there must be a successor. I can't wait for you to step down, because no one can run my kitchen.

You can teach without worry, and don't be afraid of teaching your apprentices and starving yourself to death. I, Zhao Shanhe, promise not to burn bridges after crossing them. My goal is to open restaurants all over the world. By then, I will not be afraid of not having enough chefs.

Uncle He, think about it, when your disciples and grandchildren are all over the world, you will be the leader in your chef world. I won’t let you teach in vain. I will give you 1,000 yuan for each disciple you teach.”

"Don't worry, Shanhe. I will definitely train a group of people for you. Ma Hua is actually ready to become a master chef, but he still lacks experience to be a chef. I will teach him for a while, and then you can have another chef."

"Look at my memory. Your subordinates haven't been paid yet, and it's hard for you to recruit people. So, let's set the salary for people like Ma Hua who are about to graduate to 500, the cutters to 100, and the washers to 50."

"Shanhe, actually, that's not necessary. We chefs have our own rules. Apprentices have to work for their masters for free for a few years. You can start paying them after they become masters. Just give them some money for food first."

"Forget it. They have families to support, so it's not appropriate to just give them money for food. But I'm not giving them money for nothing. They have to sign a contract after graduation and work for me for five to ten years. I can't just train them for nothing."

"Shanhe, I have to say you are amazing. With your vision, it would be unreasonable for you not to succeed."

"Okay, you guys should go through the resignation procedures in the next few days. My first store is going to open soon, and the other four are also already in sight. Zhuzi will work with you for the time being, and I'll go over when the other stores are ready." After saying that, Zhao Shanhe prepared to get up and walk out.

"Shanhe, don't be in such a hurry to leave. You've finally come here. I'll go cook some food and we can have a couple of drinks."

"No, I have something else to do. When the store reopens, we'll have plenty of time to drink."

After Zhao Shanhe left, Sha Zhu was very excited. "Dad, you make 1,200 yuan, and I make 1,000 yuan. That means 2,200 yuan this month, which is equivalent to what we made in several years. I am the chef, and you are the head chef. We can be considered to be proud of ourselves. Good days are coming. Zhao Shanhe is really generous."

"Zhu Zi, look at you, now you are saying good things about others. When I asked you to follow Shan He, you were not happy about it. Now you see the reward is coming.

In less than half a year, we will have 10,000 yuan. I never thought I could make so much money in my life. Now that I think about it, being a cook is nothing. It is better than being a senior worker like an old man. "Ma Dongmei said

"Yes, it is true that it is nice to be under a big tree. I didn't listen to you later. It is really worth it to join Zhao Shanhe. I will be so jealous of Xu Damao when he becomes the section chief and shows off to me all day long.

But the section chief only makes a few bucks, maybe not even a hundred, and I earn ten times as much as he does, so let's see how he can still call me a stinky cook."

"Come on, stop showing off. You've been paid so much money to work hard. Change your foul mouth and violent behavior."

"I've already changed. You see, every time Xu Damao scolded me, I got physical with him, but at most I just said a few words. I think I've changed enough, I'm much better than before."

"Well, these years have been good."

"Dad, why don't you say anything?"

"I'm thinking about who to look for. This is a salary of one thousand, and there are only three vacancies. I have so many fellow apprentices.

And Zhuzi, I will take care of Ma Hua when the time comes, and you have to think of someone to help you, otherwise you won’t be able to handle it alone.”
