City People [Rebirth]

As more and more branches of Hungry opened, Jijia Catering, the head office, signed supplementary contracts with other agricultural and sideline product bases such as brother farmers cooperatives in Jiangzhou to expand the scale of purchases.The quality of the products received by Ele Stomach has been stable over the past year, so after the contract expires, the contract will continue to be signed.

Waiting for the number of branches to further increase and Jijia Catering's brands to further expand, Lu Jia will also prepare its own agricultural and sideline product base to further control costs and product quality.

In July, Lu Jia was told by the staff that the central kitchen had been set up and asked him to check it.Compared with the agreed date, it was already a week earlier, and Lu Jia was also looking forward to it.

This central kitchen is located in the fourth branch of Ele.me.The fourth branch is on Xihe Road. It was originally a large warehouse with convenient transportation. Jijia Catering bought this warehouse and changed it into two parts. The front is a restaurant, and the back is a hungry center. The kitchen also serves as storage.

When Lu Jia came over, he did it directly from the back door. The inside already looks very good. There is a cold storage in the warehouse. Now the ingredients shipped by Shanghe Logistics will be transported to this warehouse first, and then distributed to various branches. According to the implementation The detailed kitchen rules manual follows strict quality management from procurement to transportation, distribution to branches, and production of finished products. Checks are required during storage, storage, and inventory storage. In the storage of ingredients, they are separated according to the characteristics of different ingredients. For management, raw and cooked foods are separated, meat and vegetables are separated, and different fresh-keeping methods are used. Managers who come into contact with these ingredients must also ensure hygiene during the operation.

The central kitchen is now managed by Zhang An.Originally, Lu Jia promised Zhang An that he would give him sufficient funds and time to study new dishes, so he was transferred here this time to conduct research in his own workshop while supervising the chefs in the central kitchen. .There are now five chefs in the central kitchen who only work here, mainly producing semi-finished products and some finished products. Some steps that take up too much space and time-consuming in the branch kitchens are also moved here.

This may not be a meal, but the chefs here are already busy.They are like workers on an assembly line, only doing preliminary processing.These initial processing operations do not require a high level of chefs, and apprentices can also be competent. Each person only needs to carry out a few steps. The cost of hiring them is lower, and it also saves time for the back kitchens of each branch.

Lu Jia walked around one by one without disturbing their work.After he came out, he expressed his satisfaction to Li Jiajun and Zhang An. In fact, it had exceeded his expectations.

Standardization and branding are both a threshold that cannot be ignored when a chain enterprise wants to expand, and it is also a construction work that cannot be ignored.Lu Jia did not act as the shopkeeper this time, and based on the experience of later generations, he compiled a piece of relevant information and handed it to Li Jiajun.

When Li Jiajun got the information, he looked at Lu Jia in the eyes, like "people do things and people do things". Lu Jia couldn't help but reflect on himself. Could it be that he is really too slack?

"No boss, you have actually done a lot, but have you noticed that I have done more..."

Li Jiajun cried weakly.Lu Jia suddenly realized, and said: "Almost forgot, you are also a person who is in love, so you can't devote yourself to your career. It's okay, you can just divide the tasks that are entrusted to you. Didn't the company come with a qualification recently?" Nice rookie, you can work on him more."

"That's fine, with your words from the boss, I can rest assured."

Li Jiajun's weak look just now also disappeared, and thanked him happily.It really is a bitter trick, Lu Jia thought, it's really not easy to squeeze too much with this powerful subordinate. In the previous life, Li Jiajun just forced himself too hard. In this life, it may be because he recruited Li Jiajun in advance so that she could bring his daughter to work. She is more open-minded, and does not regard work as her only life, and has more leisure time to do other things.

"What does that Lu Rui do?"

Lu Jia began to gossip.It is natural for a boss to care about the love life of his subordinates, right?

Li Jiajun also said it generously: "She is a teacher of Experimental Primary School in Jiacheng District. Isn't this Lan Lan going to primary school? I took Lan Lan to see the school. I just met her and chatted for a while. I thought it was a good conversation, so I continued talking."

"It's the teacher, no wonder Lan Lan likes her so much."

When Lan Lan was mentioned, Li Jiajun's expression became softer: "Yeah, she has a way with children. After playing with Lan Lan for a long time, Lan Lan let go of her wariness. I took Lan Lan with her last month. I went to see a psychiatrist, and the doctor said that Lan Lan's autism has improved a lot, and she will be back to normal soon, and when Lan Lan is in school, Lu Rui can also help me take care of her."

"That's really good. I'll pick Lan Lan to play at my house some other day. My sister really likes her."

Lu Mu is half a year old, he can already remember things, and he will yell when he sees familiar people.Lu Jia's parents and relatives have no children to play with, and the people who take care of Lu Mu are familiar faces, so occasionally when Lan Lan goes, Lu Mu will look very excited, and when Lan Lan leaves, she will cry reluctantly .

As soon as Li Jiajun heard it, he said, "That's just right, how about tonight? I happen to be on a date."

Lu Jia said helplessly, "Okay, I'll pick her up after school, you can have fun tonight."

Up to now, Lu Jia and Li Jiajun are already good friends, Li Jiajun and Du Zhixuan are also very close, Lan Lan is a child that everyone likes, Du Zhixuan will be happy to bring another child when Li Jiajun is busy.Lu Jia did not dislike this intimate atmosphere.

Lan Lan is still in preschool, so Lu Jia will pick her up when school is over and take her to Lu's house.At the dinner table, Lu Mu was sitting on the stroller, shaking the baby bottle, looking at this and that, and she would not give up until everyone took care of her from time to time.

Lu Mu's reaction has always been faster than that of babies of the same age. She also inherited Du Zhixuan's excellent genes. In her previous life, she was in the Haicheng circle. Among them, Lu Jia couldn't do what she could.

If past life and present life were two parallel lines, Lu Mu would have supported the Lu family well now.

After the meal, Du Zhixuan carried Lu Mu to sit on the crib, and found Lan Lan a book of fairy tales for her to read.

"Ow, ooh!"

Lu Mu called out, and as her voice sounded, a Russian blue cat that was about to sneak away suddenly froze in place.Lu Mu stopped barking, and this cat named "Xiaobao" by Lu Jia as a couple started to walk forward again.

A cat can tiptoe too?Yes, that's what the cat in front of me is doing.It's a pity that Lu Mu's eyes were fixed on her. Lu Mu would bark whenever Xiao Bao moved, but Lu Mu wouldn't bark if Xiao Bao didn't move.A baby and a cat went back and forth for a few rounds. Xiaobao's short-haired cat showed a funny expression of resignation, and jumped onto Lu Mu's crib. Patted and stroked.

The Russian blue cat is shy and introverted by nature and doesn't like to go out. Xiaobao has not deviated from this characteristic. He is a house cat among house cats. The Lu family has a large garden. This cat would rather lie under the floor-to-ceiling skylight and look at the garden in a daze. He also didn't want to take a step out of the door, which saved the newly hired veterinarian of the Lu family from having to sterilize Lu Mu many times for the sake of Lu Mu's health.

Lu Mu likes Xiaobao very much, maybe because Xiaobao is younger than her?She likes lying on the crib with Xiao Bao the most, caressing Xiao Bao's body casually.At the beginning, Xiaobao was reluctant, and everyone was afraid that Xiaobao would be injured by Lu Mu, but the veterinarian said it was fine after the examination. Xiaobao simply didn't like this kind of behavior, so everyone stopped participating in their wrestling , because Xiaobao is very human, and always succumbed because he couldn't stand Lu Mu's calls.

Lan Lan was holding the book in her hand, but she didn't read it at all. Her eyes flicked back and forth between Lu Mu and Xiaobao.Although her autism has improved, she is still shy and introverted, and she doesn't like to talk, but there is no obstacle in communicating with people, and she will say a few more words when asked her.Looking at it this way, she and Xiaobao really have similar personalities.

Lu Muguang was not satisfied with calling Xiaobao to the bed, so he stretched out his little hand towards Lan Lan.Lan Lan had been waiting for a long time. She simply put the book on her lap on the table, approached Lu Mu, and took her little hand.

Xiaobao is here, and so is Miss Sister.Lu Mu showed his toothless gums and giggled happily.

Lu Jia pampered her nose and said shamelessly, "You child, you have a desire to control at such a young age."

What he didn't say is, why don't you come to hold brother's hand?Don't cherish it just because your brother is always in front of your eyes!

After eight o'clock, it was time for Lan Lan to go to bed.Because of this little girl, Li Jiajun's night dates always ended quickly, she and Lu Rui came to pick up Lan Lan, and Lu Mu cried as usual.

In the beginning, every time Lu Mu cried, Lu Jia would feel anxious, but it didn't take long to realize that this was just a way for babies to express their emotions, and they could also laugh when Lu Mu cried.

"Sister Lan Lan is gone, but Xiaobao is still here!" Du Zhixuan coaxed Lu Mu, picked up Xiaobao and waved its paws, and it didn't take long for Lu Mu to burst into tears and laugh.After cuddling her for a while and feeding her, she fell into the carefree dreamland of a baby.

"What a kid."

Lu Wenlin, who hadn't interacted with the children all night, said sourly from the side.
