The Pentium Era - South to North

The next day, Zhang Chen was very busy. As soon as they arrived at the company in the morning, Liu Ligan and Zhang Musheng brought designers from Jinxiu Design Institute over. Zhang Chen opened the drawings one by one and told them what needed to be modified. According to what he said, I will send it to him after modification.

Zhang Musheng asked, everyone has already entered the site, can I do the foundation first?

Zhang Chen said yes.

The land Liu Ligan got this time was all slopes and wasteland. It needed to be leveled and compacted first, and then given a period of natural settlement before he started digging earthwork and doing underground engineering. Each design plan was revised and restructured. The time for submission for approval can be left to the construction team.

Logically speaking, all construction projects need to be approved before construction, but in reality, for small projects like theirs, as long as it is relevant, everyone will turn a blind eye and allow you to apply for approval while building.

Zhang Musheng and the others left, and Zhang Chen told Liu Ligan that he wanted to be a "food man and woman". Liu Ligan also thought this project was good and said with a smile:

"I haven't seen you all night, why do you really want to start again? Where did you get the inspiration?"

"Thank you." Zhang Chen said.

"Thank me? Does it have anything to do with me?"

"Yesterday you brought the wine. I was inspired later when I watched the waiter come up to collect the tableware." Zhang Chen said.

"Haha, there are business opportunities everywhere in life. There is no need to be pretentious." Liu Ligan said, "I am very optimistic about this project. Do you want me to participate?"

"Go away, I regret our partnership with Renjia Tourism, and I want you to mess around with it. You should concentrate on doing your Renjia Tourism well." Zhang Chen said, "Besides, not all your money is there 'People's Tourism', where can you still have money to invest?"

"Isn't it just 20 million? I can ask Tan Shuzhen to borrow it." Liu Ligan said.

"Shameless, when did you, Liu Ligan, even ask a woman to borrow money?"

"Everything I earned was given to her, even my salary. After I corrected my behavior, my monthly expenses were very low, including food and cigarette money. I couldn't even spend my salary." Liu Ligan explain.

"You still have the nerve to say that half of the meal is for me." Zhang Chen scolded.

Liu Ligan laughed loudly: "I chatted with you while eating, and the chat fee is enough to pay for the meal."

"Do I still want you?!" Zhang Chen glared at him, then waved his hand: "Forget it, in a word, you have to die."

When Zhang Chen said this, Liu Ligan didn't force himself any further. Zhang Chen went on to blast him outside: "You can go back to your office, I want to talk about something."

"Who is coming?" Liu Ligan asked.

"Huijuan."

"Holy shit, are you two hiding something? Huijuan wants me to avoid you when she comes. I'm here to help you come up with ideas." Liu Ligan shouted.

"We'll discuss the idea later in the evening when the second batch arrives and we have dinner together. I'd better ask you to get out now. If you are here, any serious matter will be turned into an informal one by you." Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan said.

Liu Ligan stared at Zhang Chen for a while and then said, "Zhang Chen, why do I feel that you are a little nervous?"

"It's quite a bit." Zhang Chen said, "Last night, I was tossing and turning over this matter and couldn't sleep. Do you think it's weird or not? Investing in such a small project will be wasted and it won't touch me at all. I'm nervous. What? I really feel stressed, am I getting old? When I was young, I wasn’t so nervous even if I didn’t have a penny in my pocket.”

Liu Ligan nodded: "I think so."

"That's not right." Zhang Chen said, "I forgot to tell you that Yongcheng gave me two thousand acres of land to build a logistics base. I will bring the second-hand goods there tomorrow just to talk about this matter. That project will be better than the 'food and beverage' project." Men and women invest more, so why don't I feel nervous?"

"What's the point? The logistics base is your mature business. You are sure that you can make money if you do it. What are you worried about? This is an unknown quantity for you and the future is unpredictable. Of course you have to be nervous. In fact, if you decide to do it When I was working in the tourism industry, I was also nervous. We are indeed getting old. When we get older, if we can't do this, it's not that we won't make money, but that we can't afford to lose face."

Liu Ligan said and Zhang Chen nodded. He felt that this was probably the reason. Especially when he saw that Zhang Xiangbei's career was done in a orderly manner, the pressure not to lose seemed to suddenly increase.

Huijuan clicked on the open door twice, then walked in and asked, "Mr. Zhang, are you looking for me?"

Zhang Chen said yes. When Liu Ligan saw Huijuan come in, he stood up and was about to leave. Huijuan asked, "Do you think I am the god of plague? Why do you have to leave as soon as I come?"

Liu Ligan looked at Zhang Chen and said, "Someone wants to whisper to you. They think I'm in the way here, so I can't leave."

Huijuan's face turned red. Fortunately, Liu Ligan had already walked out of the door with a smile and didn't notice.

Because of Liu Ligan's words, the two people who stayed in the office looked a little embarrassed. Zhang Chen and Huijuan said, "Don't listen to his nonsense."

Huijuan said softly: "I know."

Zhang Chen sat down on the sofa and asked Huijuan to sit too. Huijuan walked away and walked to the desk. She picked up Zhang Chen's tea cup and looked at it. It still contained the overnight tea from last night. Huijuan went to the bathroom. , poured the tea leaves, made tea for Zhang Chen again, came back and put it on the coffee table in front of Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen asked:

"You don't want to drink?"

Huijuan shook her head.

Zhang Chen told Huijuan the whole idea of ​​"eating men and women". Huijuan listened quietly. After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he asked Huijuan:

"Do you think this project can be operated?"

Huijuan thought for a moment and said yes, it can be operated.

"Is it difficult?" Zhang Chen asked.

"It's not very difficult, although there are still differences. The key depends on the customer's acceptance." Huijuan said.

"You said the difference, what's the difference?" Zhang Chen asked.

"The kitchens of ordinary families are still different from our kitchens. The stove is not powerful enough to hold a large oil pan, and the water used to blanch ingredients is also different. For example, leafy vegetables, why do the ones blanched at home always not have the color of a hotel? It looks good and it’s very simple. If the stove is not powerful enough and the blanching time is too long, the color will be a little off, but if it doesn’t take that long, it won’t be enough. The same goes for the oil pan.”

Huijuan said and Zhang Chen nodded. He felt that this was indeed the case. For example, when making fried shrimps, the oil temperature in the oil pan at home was never high enough. Compared with the fried shrimps in the hotel, the oil temperature was not as good as that in the hotel. It feels so crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

"However, this problem can also be solved." Huijuan said, "You can just bring a single-head high-burning stove. A small steel bottle is enough for one meal. It doesn't take up much space. But the chef needs to re- Training allows him to adapt to the environment and conditions that change every day. Most chefs need a few days to adapt to a new kitchen.

"However, people are forced to come out. If the conditions are always like this, you have to adapt even if you don't adapt, right? Just like me, I had to be able to cook tables of dishes in such a small kitchen. Now It’s not the same in a kitchen this big.”

Zhang Chen nodded and said, "I still need your help when the time comes. I'm only half a bucket full of water."

Huijuan giggled: "It's all my company's business. Whether I help or not is not something I should do."

Zhang Chen then told Huijuan about the personnel arrangement of "Food and Drinking Men and Women". He also told Huijuan to ask her to bring out someone as soon as possible who can take charge of Tuxiang Garden, so that she can come over to the "Food and Drinking Men and Women" Bian, be the chairman.

"I still like to be in Tuxiangyuan, watching the kitchen every day, communicating directly with customers every day, and seeing their feedback on our dishes and services from their faces." Huijuan said, "Xiao Li is here That’s it, she can take care of it.”

While the two were talking, Xiaoli arrived. Zhang Chen asked her to sit down and told her about the project of "Food and Drinking Man and Woman" and his plan to let her serve as the CEO of "Food and Drinking Man and Woman". Xiaoli became frightened upon hearing this. she says:

"Hotel? Mr. Zhang, I have never been in charge of a hotel. Please spare me."

Zhang Chen glared at her and cursed: "Then before you took charge of the clothing company, did you manage the clothing company?"

"But I also started by selling clothes. This hotel... I only know how to eat. If I can't kill a chicken, how can I manage the hotel?" Xiaoli said with a sad face.

"It's nothing to kill a chicken. I'll give you a week and I'll make sure you can even learn to debone a whole chicken." Huijuan comforted Xiao Li and said, "Don't worry, managing a hotel is not much harder than managing a specialty store." , you can manage so many specialty stores in the past, and leave so many hotels to you, there will be no problem. If you manage people well, you can manage the hotel well."

"Huijuan is right. You don't need to cook on the stove yourself. What are you afraid of? As long as the people below are taken care of, the hotel will be taken care of." Zhang Chen said.

"But those chefs seem to be very fierce, and they even have knives in their hands." Xiaoli said.

Zhang Chen and Huijuan both laughed. Zhang Chen said, "Every lathe in the workshop still has scissors in their hands. When you should scold them, why don't you still scold them, so you're not afraid?"

One sentence made Xiaoli speechless. Huijuan said to Xiaoli:

"Come on, Xiaoli, let me teach you. These people in the hotel may seem fierce to you, but in fact they are all bullying. The chefs are all craftsmen. If you don't know anything about craftsmen, they will definitely bully you. You, they will climb on your head, but if you can take it out with your hands, they won’t dare to fool you.”

"I just don't understand anything." Xiaoli said.

"You don't know how to learn, can I teach you, okay? I promise that by the time the first hotel opens, you will be familiar with all the processes in the kitchen, so that not only will they not dare to fool you, but this will also bring you closer to us. The best way to build a relationship between chefs is that the chef is a clumsy talker and doesn’t have many words, but I admire him for his real skills. If you have real skills, you can control him."

Zhang Chen listened to what Huijuan said to Xiaoli and felt that Huijuan was talking about herself. Huijuan had never taken the chef level examination and had no certificate. But she was in the kitchen and as soon as she made a move, even Fu Fatty There were only a few first-class chefs in the country at that time, and I admired them all, let alone these young chefs now.

"Then how do I learn?" Xiaoli asked.

"Follow me from this afternoon, start by sharpening the knife, and then cut radishes and shred potatoes for me every day. You have to taste all the seasonings in the kitchen and remember their names and tastes..."

Huijuan remembered it. She turned to Zhang Chen and said, "Tomorrow I will take Xiaoli to Sanya."

Zhang Chen said yes, and Xiaoli asked: "Why should I go to Sanya?"

Huijuan looked at Xiaoli and said: "The chef profession is very good. I will take you to my master and ask him to accept you as his apprentice. I beg him and he will accept you. You can worship him as your master." , when you meet other chefs in the future, as long as you say that you are Fatty Fu's apprentice, no one will dare to underestimate you, let alone fool you."

Fatty Fu is now well-known in the chef world. He is not only one of the five judges in Hainan Province for the National Senior Technician Assessment. You must know that Hainan has the largest concentration of world-renowned hotels in the country, and every hotel has an executive chef. They are all well-known, and to be the leader among them is of course extraordinary.

What makes Fatty Fu even more famous is that he has appeared on TV three times in a row and served as a judge for the National God of Cookery Competition. He is not the stupid chef Huijuan said. , is his signature, Fatty Fu.

In the National God of Cookery Competition in the second half of this year, Fatty Fu will still be a judge. No matter how good a chef you are, you might fall into his hands at some point.

"In this case, Huijuan will be your senior sister, Xiaoli. Thank you soon, senior sister." Zhang Chen shouted to Xiaoli.

Xiaoli came to her senses and quickly smiled and held her hands towards Huijuan: "Thank you, senior sister!"
