Wearing sixty with a male god

The street is bought, but the store will not be able to fully open for a while.

Moreover, buying the street also cost Xiang Chen a lot of work, but fortunately, the total price is lower than Xiang Chen expected, not all homeowners are like the landlord next door who can't see the reality clearly and want to sell the house for a sky-high price.

Before the snack bar opened, this area was just an ordinary old street, and even the houses were very dilapidated.At this time, living in high-rise buildings is what people yearn for, so in this old-fashioned block house, the people who live in these old-fashioned neighborhood houses are actually from families with poor conditions.

After the opening of the snack bar, although the housing price has been raised, not many people are really willing to buy and rent a house.

With such housing prices, renting to live by yourself is definitely a loss. If you open a store and sell food, you will be run out of business by the snack bar.Selling other things is not selling anywhere, and the housing prices in other places are still low.

Although the snack bar is popular, but who knows if this popularity can bring business to the family, the unknown benefits are not as good as the high rent in front of you, so there are only a few scattered residents in the whole street, who buy some melon seeds and peanuts The roasted seeds and nuts have a selling point.

These people do these things just by hand, they don’t treat it as a serious business, so they don’t spend much thought. The melon seeds are directly fried, and there are no various flavors such as cream, green tea, caramel, etc., and sometimes they are fried, so the business is very good. generally.

In this way, when Xiang Chen bought the street, he encountered much less resistance. The price he offered was very affordable at this time. The residents of the old street were in poor conditions, so they were easily moved by the money he gave. up.

Moreover, there were many children in the family at this time, and they usually couldn't fit in. Xiang Chen knew that there was a house across the street with seven children, who looked like gourd babies. At night, they felt that they would use the door panels to build another bed, otherwise they would not be able to sleep at all.

So Xu Hengzhou also gave him a trick. If they don’t want to sell their house, they can exchange a big house for a small house, buy a bigger house for them elsewhere, and exchange it for them. Many families with many children will be very happy up.

In the matter of buying the street, Xu Hengzhou finally stepped in to help, and there were a lot of troubles in the process, some were as aggressive as the landlord next door, and some were unwilling to sell the house for various reasons.Xiang Chen had too little experience in the world, and it was inevitable that he would make mistakes in handling these matters. Xu Hengzhou assisted him and taught him many ways to deal with people.

Street shopping can’t be solved in a short while. Xiang Chen’s sugar water shop opened first. The room on the right was redecorated by Xiang Chen. The overall color is warm, and the style is similar to the milk tea shops that can be seen everywhere in later generations. The dessert station is similar, but it is very fashionable decoration at this time.

As for the clerk, he transferred Yang Yingying to the Tangshui shop as the manager, and recruited a little girl to help her.The Tangshui shop is relatively small now, enough for two people.

At the snack bar, someone also replaced Yang Yingying's cash register.Because the business of the snack bar is so good, it is not cost-effective to only sell it for half a day every day, but for the whole day, the store opens too early in the morning, and even has to go a long time in advance to prepare various ingredients.

So Xiang Chen later recruited a few more employees, and asked the old employees to lead new employees. After they are proficient, they will be divided into morning and evening shifts. In this way, the business hours are extended, more money is made, and the shop assistants also get rest. .

Compared with the extra money he earned, the extra wages paid by recruiting people are not worth mentioning.

At this time, there was no computer to print receipts, and everything was written by hand, so the cashiers were generally trusted by the boss.Yang Yingying has been working as a cashier for so long and never had any problems, but Xiang Chen felt that this girl should be able to take on a bigger burden, so he transferred her to be the store manager.

The cashier work in the snack bar was done by two other girls, one was recruited in the first batch, and after inspection, she changed morning and evening shifts with Yang Yingying.The other one was chosen temporarily this time, but it is also the one Xiang Chen trusts more.

When the two little girls issued receipts, they both used carbon paper to leave a stub at the cash register, and they had to reconcile the accounts every time they shifted. Although it was troublesome, the system was more perfect, so as to avoid any gaps in the accounts that would later be torn apart.

Compared with the hassle of shopping in the street, opening a sugar water shop is much easier. After all, with experience, Xiang Chen is very interested in doing it.

The Tangshui shop opened smoothly, and Xiang Chen ticked off the back of the Tangshui shop in his notebook, and lined up, all of which were for him to do next.

In mid-November, Teacher Qin brought good news to Xiang Chen, he was going to be promoted.Now Xiang Chen is a lecturer, and he will be an associate professor when he is promoted to another level.

In the relevant regulations promulgated by our country in 1960, in order to be promoted to an associate professor, in addition to the requirements for teaching work, there is also a high standard, the thesis is one of them, and the need to master a foreign language.

During Xiang Chen's study, when the professors gave him tutoring, they assigned a lot of paper assignments, some of which were excellent, and the professors helped to submit and publish some.At the beginning, he was able to graduate early and stay in school. In addition to being praised by the leaders at the conference, these papers also gave him extra points.

As for foreign languages, he practiced English with Xu Hengzhou since he was a child, and now his listening, speaking, reading and writing are no problem, if he is asked to teach English, he will be able to go into battle when he is ready.Later, he learned Russian from Gu Yunzhi. Although he was not proficient enough, there was no obstacle in communicating with others.

The hard conditions are all up to standard, and the school decided to give him a promotion title before the year after examining his work situation.

In future generations, at Xiang Chen's age, even if he is capable enough, he would definitely have to get stuck, but now it's different, the country is in short supply of talents, and now many of the seniors of the two major colleges and universities later entered the central government, so Xiang Chen It's just a promotion, it's really not a big deal.

If Mr. Qin can bring this matter up, it means that he is sure of it.

At the beginning of December, the matter of buying the street came to an end, and there were only a few houses that had not been fully negotiated, and there were some entanglements on the price, but they did not reject the sale of the house, and it would definitely be completely resolved before the year.

At the same time, Xiang Chen has been preparing for the hot pot restaurant. The hot pot has an advantage. As long as the base material is prepared in advance, the chef in the kitchen is good at knife skills, and apprentices can do it. The main thing that needs to be recruited is the waiter , the technical content of this job is not high.

Professional matters need to be consulted by professional personnel. Xiang Chen naturally went to Master Ge, probably because after knowing his sexuality, Master Ge still did not change his attitude towards Xiang Chen, so Xiang Chen is now a little closer to Master Ge .

Master Ge really figured out a way for him. He helped Xiang Chen contact a cook from Sichuan Province. This master cook is surnamed Bao, and he is good at cooking Sichuan cuisine, especially hot pot.Later, for some reason, I didn't continue to work as a chef, and I stayed in a small county town to do some casual work.

Fortunately, Master Ge had the address of this Master Bao, and wrote a letter saying that someone invited him to be a master master, and wrote down the salary conditions offered by Xiang Chen.

Not long after, I received a reply letter from Master Bao, who was very excited about Xiang Chen's invitation, but he was worried about his wife and children.

Xiang Chen simply said that he could provide them with housing, and bought the whole street, and now the store will not be able to open for a while, and the house is vacant, so it is very convenient to clean up two rooms and come out to accommodate employees.

When he frees up to open a shop next year, Master Bao should have saved enough money to buy a house, so this is not a problem at all.

All worries can be resolved, so without further ado, Master Bao came to join Master Ge with his wife and children.He trusts Master Ge very much. Although this man doesn't like to talk, he has a sentence and never speaks falsely.

Xiang Chen also trusted Master Ge, otherwise he wouldn't just listen to his recommendation and dare to offer a high salary without trying Master Bao's skills.

And Master Bao's craftsmanship is also worthy of Xiang Chen's trust. He must show his skills to the boss when he comes, because he knows that Xiang Chen is going to open a hot pot restaurant, and he must try out the hot pot base.In addition, classic dishes such as fish-flavored pork shreds, spicy chicken, husband and wife lung slices, and mapo tofu are also made.

Master Ge, Auntie Huang, and Xiang Chen and Xu Hengzhou ate this meal together, and Xiang Chen couldn't help breathing out of the spicy food, and couldn't help picking up vegetables with chopsticks.

The taste of the hot pot did not disappoint Xiang Chen. The soup base is spicy and delicious. I don’t know how Master Bao made it. It is spicy but not choking, and the soup base is a bit fresh. Putting anything in it and cooking it is very delicious. That taste, absolutely!

Even Aunt Huang, who doesn't like spicy food very much, praised Master Bao for his skill, so Xiang Chen directly decided that Master Bao would be the chef of their hotpot restaurant.

After that, a few apprentices and waiters were recruited for simple training. The decoration of the hot pot restaurant has already been done. Once the staff is in place, the store can be opened with a little preparation.

Except for school work, Xiang Chen is busy with the opening of the hot pot restaurant all the time, and he wants to open the restaurant before the Chinese New Year.The colder the hot pot restaurant's business, the better. This year, there is not enough time, but it will be colder for a while after the next year, which is enough for them to make a lot of money.

Hurry up, in late December, all the preparations for the hot pot restaurant have been completed, and before Xiang Chen can set a date for opening the restaurant, the good news from the school comes first.

Teacher Xiang will be Professor Xiang from now on. Xiang Chen hid in the room and secretly laughed for a long time. After going to school, whenever someone called him Professor Xiang, he couldn't hold back his smile and pursed his lips. Self-repressed, looking very unreserved.

But he is young and good-looking, with a smiling face, only the likeable ones, even those who are close to him, such as Mr. Qin, will deliberately tease him and call him Professor Xiang.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Professor Xiang is ready to strike while the iron is hot and open the hot pot restaurant.

The auspicious day he picked happened to be a weekend, Xiang Chen simply invited Song Wenbin and others to go to a hot pot restaurant for a meal, one was to celebrate the opening of the new store, and the other was that he was promoted to Xu Hengzhou and wanted to treat guests, Xiang Chen was embarrassed, so he simply borrowed the money from the restaurant Excuse me together.

Before the hot pot restaurant opened, Xiang Chen had done publicity in advance, and he sent out many leaflets.When I met someone handing out leaflets on the street in the later generations, many people didn't want to pick them up, and many of them just glanced at them and threw them on the ground.

But at this moment, everyone is willing to take the free paper. Even if they don't read it, it's good to take it home to wrap things, or to practice calligraphy for their children.

Moreover, Xiang Chen borrowed Xu Hengzhou's experience when he opened the store, and also got a big opening bonus, and brought the leaflets they distributed, and there would be discounts. .

This method of chaotic streets in the later generations has played a miraculous effect in this era. The hot pot restaurant is full when it opens, and even attracts some customers from the snack bar.
